Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 639 Location of the Divination Abyss

"Thank you, senior!"

Chen Shang was startled and immediately sat down cross-legged on the futon that suddenly appeared in front of the temple, quickly opening the jade book in his hand.

Actually, he didn't think he would get an answer before he came; he was just trying his luck.

After all, the Sword Ancestor is extremely busy and might not be able to find the time...

Surprisingly, there has been progress!
As a Transcendent Realm cultivator, his speed in acquiring information far surpasses that of ordinary people. Therefore, it did not take long for Chen Shang to read through the entire jade book hundreds of times, memorizing every detail.

The spirit of Jieyanyi followed the first Speaker to the afterlife.

However, the first chairman changed the original route in order to save her...

The information recorded in the jade book kept flashing through his mind.

a long time.

"Thank you, senior."

Chen Shang stood up again and bowed.

Xu Xing didn't say anything more about this, but instead said:
"I've told you about ascension before, and your Righteous Path Alliance should have heard quite a bit about it during this time."

Although the relevant information only circulated within the Immortal Sect's internal network.

With so many people in the Immortal Sect, it's inevitable that people outside the sect will find out.

Not to mention, the Ascension quest has been treated like a regular quest and has been posted at the quest giver...

The Righteous Path Alliance, which has been closely monitoring the movements of the Immortal Sect, must have studied the matter privately as soon as they received the news.

“This…” Chen Shang held the jade book, somewhat embarrassed, “There are indeed some.”

As the strongest force besides the Seven Great Immortal Sects, how could the Righteous Path Alliance not pay attention to the movements of the Immortal Sects!
Things are a bit better now. After the incident with the Hehuan Sect, everyone is more self-aware.

A hundred years ago, the Righteous Alliance studied the Seven Immortal Sects as 'hypothetical enemies' for a period of time!
of course.

The main reason for paying attention to the movements of the Immortal Sect now is to avoid falling too far behind.

It's not just them; which of the existing, well-known forces in the Tai Xuan Realm wouldn't pay attention to the movements of the Immortal Sect?

“It’s just human nature, you don’t need to feel embarrassed,” Xu Xing said.

It would be abnormal if the Righteous Alliance didn't pay attention to the Immortal Sect.

Moreover, although Chen Shang has been the leader of the Righteous Alliance for many years, not everything can be done according to his wishes.

Just like the sect leader of the Sword Sect, he actually has many things to consider.

"Let's get down to business."

Chen Shang's expression turned solemn, and he sat down cross-legged on the futon again.

"Senior, please tell me."

Without wasting a single word, Xu Xing explained directly: "Before you came to the Sword Sect, Ning Wanzhu of Lingyin Pavilion and Ming Yu of your Righteous Path Alliance had been here."

Sure enough!

Chen Shang was not surprised.

He didn't speak, but continued to listen quietly.

"The Tai Xuan Immortal Network was built on the basis of the 'Ascension Plan' and with my power as the core after referencing the divine system of a certain world. Its main purpose is to assist the 'Ascension Plan'."

"The previous Immortal Sect Grand Competition was actually a test of the functions of the Immortal Network."

"Originally, we were going to wait until the various functions of the Immortal Network were further stabilized before considering expansion and deployment."

"But after they heard about the whereabouts of the Abyss beyond the world, the two of them volunteered to participate in the expansion and deployment of the Immortal Network..."

Although Xu Xing had previously mentioned some concepts and ideas about the 'Ascension Plan' and the 'Tai Xuan Immortal Network' to Chen Shang, that was all.

This time, however, he went through all the specific details, even mentioning the Taiyi Realm.

As for why...

The 'Ascension Plan' is now in the stage of being gradually made public, so telling him won't have much of an impact.

After listening to Xu Xing's account for a while, Chen Shang fell silent.

It took him a long time to finally raise his head.

"Senior Sword Ancestor, during the time when Fellow Daoist Ning and Fellow Daoist Mingyu return to recuperate, may I take their place and participate in the expansion deployment of the Immortal Network?"

He had thought it through carefully before saying those words.

Although the Starry Sky Frontline Battlefield is important, he has only just reached the standard of the Transcendent Realm.

To put it bluntly, we won't miss him, and we won't lose him either.

Moreover, although wars may occur, they are not always happening.

"You're going too?" Xu Xing felt a little strange.

Mingyu and Ning Wanzhu are Yuan's confidantes.

But you...

At most, he could be considered Yuan's 'colleague', right?

"I beg the Sword Ancestor to grant my request."

Chen Shang spoke firmly and bowed deeply.

Compared to the front-line battlefield in the starry sky, the expansion and deployment of the Immortal Network requires venturing into unfamiliar realms and constantly building Immortal Network connection nodes, which is much more arduous.

As the former acting chairman of the Righteous Alliance, he made a grave mistake.

Naturally, we must take responsibility. How can we let Fellow Daoist Mingyu and Fellow Daoist Ning of Lingyin Pavilion bear the burden alone!

……

……

Taiyi Realm.

Located above the 108th Heaven, the Taiyi Continent is the place that countless beings yearn for.

A sacred realm of emptiness, hidden from the world on the mainland.

The core area of ​​the city's high tower.

The soft light emanating from the ground illuminated the strange crystals around which were sealed with figures.

Before the crystal wall that sealed many artifacts left behind by outsiders, a half-finished doll floated silently.

Mingyu stood in front of the puppet, using her fingertips to channel her magic power, drawing mysterious and incomprehensible semi-transparent runes in front of her.

Ning Wanzhu assisted from the side, guiding the runes that Mingyu had drawn to the vicinity of the puppet.

The Holy Lord of the Void stood behind the two, watching their actions with a strange glint in his eyes.

With her keen eyesight, it was not difficult for her to see that the two were using a magical method that was completely different from the extraordinary system of the Taiyi Realm.

This newcomer is indeed very unusual...

Dense array of runes covered the area around the half-doll, their resonance creating a surging, layered effect, shimmering with a strange color.

Under the influence of the runes, an elusive connection, mediated by the half-doll, continues to extend in a distant and unknowable direction...

This is a method of divination.

Although Mingyu is more impulsive than the gentle Ning Wanzhu, she has perfectly inherited the divination secrets passed down through generations of Tingyu Tower.

Listening to the Rain and Observing Prophecies

Before Tingyulou was incorporated into the Righteous Path Alliance, it was famous in the Taixuan Realm for this divination secret method.

"It's done!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sound like raindrops falling to the ground gently echoed through the air.

The runes surrounding the half-doll suddenly shone brightly, echoing each other, and the faint connection between them became incredibly clear at this moment, rapidly extending in one 'direction'.

The two stared intently at the connection that stretched into the darkness, and a hint of curiosity flashed in the eyes of the Void Saint Lord.

Could it be that they can really find the unknown outsider who made this half-doll using such magical means?
However, in the very next instant!
The connection, stretching into the unseen realm, suddenly stopped, then, like a thread roughly torn apart, the severed part fluttered down. *Snap, snap, snap!*
As one rune shattered and disintegrated, it was as if a chain reaction had occurred, and the remaining runes also began to break apart rapidly.

Only when all the runes shattered and disappeared did the blazing light dim.

The half-figure, which had been suspended in mid-air, seemed to lose its support and fell from the sky.

It was the Void Saint Lord who pointed a finger and sent it back into the crystal wall.

"Gentlemen, is there any result?" she asked softly.

Because of the differences in systems, she wasn't sure whether what she had just done was a success or a failure.

“It failed.” Mingyu shook her head slightly. “However, it was within my expectations. The rules of this world are very different from our original world.”

Not to mention that Yuan is Dongzhen, while she is Tongxuan.

It is extremely unlikely that one can predict a higher realm from a lower realm.

"Let me study the rules of this world a bit more, and maybe I'll find a way."

“Actually, it’s not necessary to directly set the divination target as Yuan,” Ning Wanzhu suddenly reminded her.

Mingyu realized what was happening after hearing this:

"You mean Yinling?"

"Ah."

Although having Yuan by Yinling's side would interfere with the effect of "Listening to the Rain and Observing Prophecies Scripture" to some extent, Yinling is essentially a vessel-like being detached from its own foundation, which is better than directly divining Yuan.

Moreover, this half-doll was likely made by Yuan for Yinling, and its connection with Yinling is quite close.

"It should be feasible, but we still need to adapt to the rules of this world."

As beings of profound understanding above the Dao, they are unique beings in all the heavens, and even the Taiyi Realm itself cannot shake their foundation.

They themselves are not significantly affected by the differences in the rules.
Theoretically speaking, the destructive power they can unleash in the Taiyi Realm is no different from that of the 'Holy Lord' level beings in this world.

But divination, such a delicate art...

It will still be affected to some extent.

As for how to adapt to the differences in rules between the Taiyi Realm...

Mingyu looked at the Holy Lord of the Void.

The Holy Lord of Emptiness calmly asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

“Let us help you compete for the ‘Third Supreme Authority,’ and in the meantime, we can also learn and adapt to the rules of the Taiyi Realm,” Mingyu said directly.

An extremely virtuous person...

Although the beliefs they uphold are somewhat extreme, at least they are 'good'.

It's better than the enlightened saint who believes in 'chaos' and 'survival of the fittest'.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Lord of the Void frowned slightly and said seriously:
"That's not fair to either of you."

In her view, these two outsiders could help her prevent the Holy Lord of Insight from obtaining the 'Third Supreme Authority' and keep the Taiyi Realm from 'chaos'.

As for the 'Third Supreme Authority', as a cultivator, she naturally desired it.

But such a statement would be unfair.

“It’s alright. Our cultivation system is different from yours, and the authority of your world is not of much use to us,” Ning Wanzhu explained.

"Moreover, thanks to your help, we have already achieved most of our purpose in coming to the Taiyi Realm this time."

"For you and for us, we have gotten what we asked for, and that is the greatest fairness."

"..." The Holy Lord of the Void paused for a moment, "Then I will trouble you two."

……

……

A few days later.

The sky was shrouded in thick, dark clouds, casting a gloomy shadow over the entire Void Extreme Sacred Domain. The howling wind and snow obscured much of the area, with most of it hidden behind the clouds.

Soldiers clad in heavy armor stood atop the city wall, long spears in hand, like statues, gazing motionlessly into the distance.

These soldiers were a small group of survivors from the original war, known as the Redeemers.

They felt that the reason they survived was because they hesitated during the initial charge.

Therefore, everyone fell into deep self-blame, hiding themselves under heavy silver armor and numbing themselves with various high-intensity training and work.

They might even privately refer to themselves as cowards...

After all, those who have gained the world's attention and embarked on the path of transcendence in this Taiyi Realm are themselves extremely extreme people, so it is normal for them to behave this way.

Gradually, the snowstorm became increasingly violent.

Snowflakes cut across the city wall like sharp blades, covering the heavy silver armor with a layer of solid ice.

Boom!
A deep, heavy thud resounded, seemingly shaking the entire Void Extreme Sacred Domain.

A pale golden ring of light emanated from the central tower of the Holy Domain, rippled and spread outwards.

The dark clouds in the sky were forced apart by the golden halo!
In an instant, the howling, raging snowstorm was swept away!

The warm sunlight, hidden behind the dark clouds, once again shone upon the earth, revealing the full panorama of the Void Sacred Realm!

Those soldiers who stood atop the city wall like statues finally moved and looked back.

The layer of solid ice hanging on the armor shattered and fell off, making a series of crisp sounds.

At this moment, in the core area of ​​the Holy Land, the ray of light connecting the black tower to the outside world had disappeared.

However, because the Holy Lord of Emptiness wanted to compete with the Holy Lord of Insight for power, he withdrew most of his own power and instead asked Ning Wanzhu to help 'maintain' and 'repair' it.

……

……

Inside the tower.

As the Holy Lord of the Void withdrew all his power, his aura surged once again.

A faint white rhomboid mark appeared in her pale golden pupils, and the ends of her long, smooth, golden hair shone slightly, presenting a soft, pure white color.

A gentle aura instantly filled the entire tower, but because this power was so vast, it gave people a sense of 'oppression'.

Fortunately, the Void Saint Lord quickly contained the leakage of his aura, returning to the same state as before.

"I'm sorry," she said to the two of them.

"fine."

The aura that the Holy Lord of Emptiness just displayed did indeed surpass that of ordinary Transcendent Realm cultivators, but it was still far from reaching the level of True Enlightenment.

Ning Wanzhu and Ming Yu frequently interacted with cultivators in the Dongzhen Realm within the Taixuan Realm, and occasionally even encountered True Immortals, so they did not feel uncomfortable.

Seeing the two of them looking so calm and collected, the Holy Lord of the Void felt a surge of curiosity.

"I wonder what level you two were at in your original world?"

At what level is it located?
Ning Wanzhu paused:

"A high-level cultivator, but still far from being a true master."

High-level cultivators...

The Holy Lord of Emptiness repeated this phrase in his mind several times.

"So, in your worlds, where do I stand?"

"Similarly, they are also high-level cultivators."
