Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 634 Sending a sheep into the wolf's mouth?
Soon, another week had passed since the Ascension quest was posted at the quest giver.

From the Golden Core stage to the Void Return stage, the immortal sect members who accepted the missions set off one after another.

As for why there are no Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stages...

Isn’t that nonsense!

The problems that need to be solved in the ascension mission are all related to an entire world. Although there are outstanding individuals in the Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment stages of the Immortal Sect, their immature minds and shallow experience cannot support them in carrying out missions of this level.

For example, Ye Zhiwei.

Achieving Foundation Establishment through the 'Principle of Concealment' is unparalleled in the entire Tai Xuan Realm.

However, she was far from mature, and didn't even understand what she wanted.

Let alone asking her to solve global problems.

……

……

early morning.

Sword Sect Outer Sect.

The bluish-gray hue on the horizon had not completely faded, and scattered glimmers of light dotted the high sky.

The morning breeze was gentle, carrying just the right amount of coolness.

Sword-wielding Hall.

A spirited young woman with a black headband tied around her forehead and delicate yet sharp features appeared at the door.

A faint red glow surrounded him, which was the fierce and malevolent aura that had not yet dissipated after his cultivation.

It was Ye Zhiwei.

"Whoo~"

She let out a soft breath, glanced up at the sword-shaped statue standing not far ahead, and then walked briskly toward her residence.

Sword Sect is indeed more suitable for sword cultivators.

After this period of training, she not only honed her sword intent to a purer level, but also successfully mastered the true-level sword technique, "Heavenly Net Sword Weft".

His cultivation level is only one step away from the late Foundation Establishment stage!
"Execute the mission..."

According to the elder holding the sword, her cultivation at this stage is already quite good; the only thing she lacks is practical experience in life-or-death battles.

This can be learned by first gaining experience through battles with other disciples in the sect in the 'Virtual Immortal Realm'.

Once you reach a certain level, take on missions involving quelling rebellions, suppressing disturbances, and annihilating enemy forces to recognize your shortcomings through real combat experience...

Just thinking about it.

“Zhiwei…”

A voice suddenly came from ahead.

Ye Zhiwei paused, looked up, and then froze.

Then Zhao Ruoming arrived, and was standing under a tree by the roadside with a complicated expression.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Ye Zhiwei smiled and softly called out:

"Brother Ruoming".

After that, the two stared at each other without saying a word.

Although Zhao Ruoming's expression was somewhat complicated, his eyes were full of relief.

Obviously.

After thinking about it for a while, he figured out a lot of things.

On the contrary, although Ye Zhiwei had a smile on her face, she was filled with panic inside.

Zhao Ruoming came to the Sword Sect...

This was something she hadn't expected at all.

……

……

What do you think they'll say?

Amidst the thick clouds, Chi Jiuyu sat upright atop the blade of a cyan-gold longsword.

Holding a phone in one hand, the screen showed two people, one of whom was Zhao Ruohan sitting in front of a computer, seemingly busy with something.

The other was Ye Zhiwei, who was sitting in front of the alchemy furnace and had just finished refining a batch of pills.

In front of Chi Jiuyu was a Xuan Guang Mirror formed by a magic artifact, in which were Zhao Ruoming and Ye Zhiwei, whom they had just met near the Zhijian Hall.

"How were you able to spy on them?"

Zhao Ruohan did not answer her question, but instead asked a question.

There was a reason she asked that.

You should know that Ye Zhiwei is a promising young talent valued by the Sword-Holding Hall, and she has various magical artifacts to conceal her identity and prevent others from spying on her.

Zhao Ruoming goes without saying.

However, Chi Jiuyu can now actually see them through the Xuan Guang Mirror!

"Of course, my magic weapon is more advanced than theirs!" Chi Jiuyu said smugly.

This time they really went all out.

Didn't she go to Yuyao Star with Xiaoyunlu to investigate the level of cultivators before?

They met their martial uncle along the way, who said that if they handled the matter well that time, he would grant them one request.

The result speaks for itself!

Under her wise leadership, she not only successfully exposed the despicable act of the Yuyao Star Garrison Commander embezzling funds and using the 'Big Rat Pill'... also known as the Life-Slaying Pill, to damage the foundation of young cultivators on Yuyao Star!

It also resisted the invasion of biological weapons.

The matter was handled so well that a reward from my martial uncle was a certainty.

But at the time she didn't think of anything she wanted, so the matter was put on hold.

It wasn't until she returned from a mission to the Military Realm as part of the third batch of Ascension Messengers that she discovered her shortcomings.

Because she has almost no talent in 'divination' and her cultivation of talismanic arts is only just beginning, she actually has a weakness in 'deduction,' that is, in obtaining information.

To make up for this, she first went to her master.

However, her master told her to go to her uncle, who had something that perfectly met her requirements.

Therefore, in exchange for the reward she hadn't claimed, she obtained a bronze mirror called the 'Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror' from her martial uncle.

Vast and boundless, originating from the limitless, all the scenes of the floating world are contained within a single mirror.

In short, it can be summed up in two words:

Awesome!
Chi Jiuyu did not offer much explanation:

"Hey Xiao Zhao, didn't you think Brother Dog wasn't important? What's your opinion now?"

Although the 'Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror' is amazing, it's the kind of thing that shouldn't be easily flaunted.

This is our trump card!

“It was you who called me,” Zhao Ruohan said.

Chi Jiuyu was momentarily speechless, but quickly retorted:
"And yet you watched it with great interest!"

"Alright, you two stop arguing," Ye Zhiwei interrupted them. "Let's finish watching first."

The two paused, then fell silent.

Near the Hall of Swords.

The two stood facing off for nearly a minute.

Ye Zhiwei finally sorted out her chaotic thoughts, took a deep breath, and was about to speak.

"I'm sorry," Zhao Ruoming said before she could.

Eh? !

Ye Zhiwei was taken aback.

But Zhao Ruoming smiled wryly and said, "I didn't know you were only..."

"Sigh~" He sighed again, "This matter should have been made clear a long time ago. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

These inexplicable words completely baffled Ye Zhiwei.

its not right!
Shouldn't this be my own fault?

Ruoming's sister also attended the gathering a few months ago, so he should know his purpose by now.

What's going on now?
"Brother Ruoming, you don't need to say that." Ye Zhiwei's mind was a bit of a mess, and it took her a while to organize her thoughts. "It was my fault in this matter."

From the very beginning, this was her fault.

She shouldn't make innocent people bear the burden of her inexplicable malice.

I was too young back then, and I didn't know my limits in many things.

Hearing this, Zhao Ruoming didn't argue further. It's normal for Zhiwei to be young and unable to distinguish right from wrong, but as long as she understands in her heart, that's enough.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

He came to the Sword Sect today to bring this matter to light.

But let's talk about this here...

This is clearly inappropriate!
“…Okay.” Ye Zhiwei nodded slightly. “I’ll lead the way.”

"it is good."

As the two gradually walked away.

High in the clouds.

Chi Jiuyu was somewhat bewildered.

"No, judging from Dog Brother's expression, he obviously doesn't know anything." She looked at Zhao Ruohan on the screen. "Didn't you tell him?"

"Why should I tell him?" Zhao Ruohan asked curiously.

Chi Jiuyu: "..."

Ye Zhiwei: "..."

Your sibling relationship is really quite superficial.

……

……

Meanwhile, at Lingyinfang.

It was the same grand hall as last time, but this time there were a few more people.

Besides Ning Ruo, Xu Xing, and Bie Xuening, Yuan Jun, who remained at the Sword Sect, and Mei Zu, who knew the news, also came here.

According to Meizu, it is—

Everyone else was there, so of course she couldn't be absent.

As for what exactly constitutes the concept of 'all people', that's a matter of opinion.

“‘Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror’ really doesn’t have a proper use in her hands.” Xu Xing sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Because he sensed that the 'Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror' had been activated, he glanced at the Sword Sect to see where she used it for the first time.

As a result, they saw the three little ones spying on them.

"It's just satisfying my curiosity, I think it's perfectly normal," said Meizu, glancing at Yuanjun as she spoke, "You agree, right?"

But Yuanjun didn't want to reply to her, instead saying:
"I didn't expect you to even give me this, fellow Daoist."

The Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror, as its name suggests, is a precious mirror that Xu Xing forged by extracting the boundless meaning of the Dao realm of 'Tai'.

It's not quite a divine treasure, but it's also far superior to ordinary magical artifacts.

With Xiao Jiuyu's current cultivation level, she can't even exert one ten-millionth of the effect.

“I promised to grant her one request,” Xu Xing explained. “Besides, the ‘Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror’ is useless to me.”

He was proficient in all arts, and his skill in divination was second only to that of Yuanjun.

Although the Taiyuan Guanshi Mirror is already quite good, it can't compare to his personal divination and deduction.

Since Jiu Yu is thinking of making up for her shortcomings, let's just give it to her, so that she won't have to replace it when her cultivation level is higher.

"Speaking of which, what exactly are you thinking, Fellow Daoist Hongzun?"

"I don't know." Yuanjun shook his head gently.

She had no idea what her brother was thinking.

However, Chengmeng's sister-in-law had told her about this.

When Xiao Ruohan returned to the Supreme Dao Sect, she actually wanted to tell Xiao Ruoming the whole story.

However, Xiao Ruoming said she didn't want to hear any related news...

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

The younger generation will handle their own affairs, and they wouldn't concern themselves with such matters.

Xu Xing looked at Ning Ruo: "Those two should be arriving soon, right?"

"Okay." Ning Ruo nodded. "I'll be there soon."

The moment the words fell, two figures with a hint of confusion in their eyes appeared without warning.

Ning Wanzhu and Mingyu.

With a deeper understanding of the area, the two were able to set up the Xianwang connection nodes much faster, successfully building nine in just two weeks.

In addition, they had also gathered a lot of information about the unfamiliar realm, so they were allowed to return and rest first.

Even for someone at the Transcendental Realm, building a Celestial Network connection in a completely unfamiliar realm and conducting various tests is an extremely laborious task.

"Master..."

"Senior Ancestor..."

As the two gradually came to their senses, a hint of confusion flashed in their eyes after they saw the people around them.

"Greetings to Senior Sword Ancestor, Senior Sword Venerable, Senior Yuanjun, and Senior Charm Ancestor." *2
Although they were a little confused about the situation, the two still bowed to each other first.

So many true immortal masters have appeared at Lingyin Pavilion...

Could it be that there's a problem with the Xianwang connection node I set up myself?
Thinking about this, the two of them couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

But the next sentence calmed their anxious hearts considerably.
“You’ve done a great job,” Ning Ruo said directly. “I will use the information you brought back this time to improve the Immortal Network, and it should be much easier next time we go.”

Call ~
There was no problem before.

The two breathed a sigh of relief.

"On the other hand, regarding that special world you saw..."

These words made both of them anxious again.

One of the reasons they applied to go to the Chaos Sea to build the Immortal Network connection node was to find the Abyss.

And that 'realm protected by all worlds' may very well contain traces of Yuan.

"It's not the right time to actively engage with it yet."

"Don't worry, Master, I know what I'm doing," Ning Wanzhu said.

“The same goes for me,” Mingyu replied.

Although I wanted to investigate, it was just like when Yuan resolutely left the Tai Xuan Realm to find his way home.

They didn't choose to leave with her back then, and now they naturally know very well what they should do...

"Let me finish," Ning Ruo said, looking at the two of them. "Now there's an opportunity for you to explore the situation in that world in advance."

Ok? !

The two were startled.

Xu Xing, standing to the side, opened his hand, a wisp of light constantly changing color swirling in his palm, as if it were formed from the infinite doubts of the world.

Looking at that ray of light, Mingyu couldn't help but ask:
"Is it... Senior Huo?"

"Hmm." A wisp of doubt kept moving in Xu Xing's palm. "He's the only one who can free up his hands now. Think it over carefully and decide whether you want to use him or not."

I don't know where Huo got the news from.

A while ago, someone suddenly approached him, saying they could help Mingyu and Ning Wanzhu create avatars of doubt to explore that world without affecting the construction of the immortal network connection nodes.

Xu Xing didn't want him to get involved in this matter.

But thinking of the two younger ones painstakingly building the immortal network connection nodes in an unfamiliar realm, with a glimmer of hope right in front of them yet still out of reach...

Therefore, in the end, it was decided to give the choice to Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu.

As for the risks...

He will try his best to contain it.

Senior bewitched...

Ning Wanzhu looked at the light in Xu Xing's hand, unsure of what to do.

When Yuan was first entangled with the Bewitching, he had to beg Senior Yuanjun to sever the karmic ties in order to finally get rid of it.

Now let Senior Huo get involved in this matter...

Isn't that tantamount to 'sending sheep into the wolf's den'?

"I, we..."

"No need to rush." ​​Xu Xing clasped his hands together and put away the wisp of doubt.

"You've just returned from an unfamiliar realm, so take a good rest for a while. Use this time to think things through, and give me your answer when you've made up your mind."

"Thank you, senior."

Seeing that things had been clarified, Ning Ruo looked at the two of them:

"Go down and rest."

"Yes..." *2
