Grandpa, times have changed.

Chapter 658 Doing nothing is meaningless

Clearly, Gu had not expected Xuan to say that.

After a brief silence:

"Doing nothing is meaningless."

Upon hearing this, a hint of satisfaction finally flashed in Xuan's eyes.

Although they did a lot of foolish things in the past, it's already quite good that they have this kind of awareness.

"You can handle the rest yourself."

After saying this, Xuan Yi grasped the Dao Slave in front of him, which was filled with many concepts, and his figure turned into a wisp of purple mist and dissipated.

As He departed, the great net of purple energy that divided the 'Ancient Tai Xuan Heaven' into two parts began to shrink.

Gu slowly pointed a finger in front of him.

Layer upon layer of barely perceptible, rainbow-like, seven-colored light vibrated forward.

Wherever it went, the complicated concepts that had arisen due to the influence of the Dao slaves were smoothed out, and the world was restored to a state of clarity.

After doing all this, He did not return to the Palace of Time immediately, but stood quietly in the clouds, with many mysterious lights and shadows flowing in His seven-colored eyes.

“Disaster…”

His capable general perished because of 'building the Heavenly Gate'.

Perhaps moved by the scene, He couldn't help but recall that distant past.

The Sword Ancestor's attainment of enlightenment surprised everyone back then.

Initially, they both thought that the idea of ​​Heaven taking all the spirits and heroes of all races under its command and cultivating an 'enlightened one' was a pipe dream.

The Cang Clan is born extraordinary, the most perfect race within the Dao.

Even the extraordinary Cang Clan could not overcome the insurmountable gap between those who had attained enlightenment and those who had not, let alone other inferior races.
Until a very special human named 'Hong' appeared, who is now one of the founders of the Supreme Daoist Sect—

Hongzun.

He pioneered the method of 'Creation Foundation Building', and the foundation built by those who achieve it even surpasses the innate perfect foundation of the Cang Clan.

It is no exaggeration to say that his talent and aptitude surpass all those who are born with them, even those born perfect like the Cang Clan!
later.

With the assistance of 'Heaven', Hongzun created the supreme method that enables humankind to achieve enlightenment—the 'Method of the Ultimate Dao'.

Although the risks are extremely high and the hope of becoming an 'enlightened being' is extremely slim, this also means that the gap between those born later in life and those born with the Dao is no longer absolute.

That was the first time He and the Sun truly looked at the beings born after Heaven.

At that time, He did not know the purpose of 'Heaven', and He himself did not want to offend Heaven, nor did He care that much, so He did not intend to interfere.

It was only at Yang Feng's suggestion that he casually made some arrangements.

Partner, offspring.

In short, the goal is to give him more entanglements, so that even if he later becomes an enlightened being, there will be more 'weaknesses' that can be exploited.

In reality, many encounters that the Venerable Ones believed to be predestined were actually orchestrated by them in secret.

But that's all. As beings who attained enlightenment innately, there was only one person they could value: Hongzun.

As for the other human races...

Ah!
Later, the 'method of the ultimate Tao' was completely perfected.

He remembered that there were twenty-three cultivators of the human race who had reached the limit of the Cave True Realm at that time. They knocked on the Immortal Gate at almost the same time in the most resolute way.

Ultimately, nineteen out of the twenty-three human races who attempted to break through the barrier failed and died from the backlash.

Of the remaining four, three more were severely injured, including Hongzun, whom they considered the most likely to be the one to suffer the most damage.

On the contrary, the Sword Ancestor, whom they cared about and even ignored by 'Heaven', truly crossed the seemingly insurmountable gap and became the first 'acquired Daoist' since the birth of the Tai Xuan Realm.

And with a desperate, burning-out attitude, he forced back 'Tai', who wanted to attack the human race.

As for Him at that time...

Because the Sword Ancestor remained respectful to Him in the early stages of His Dao attainment, and if He didn't burn His Dao and risk His life, the Sword Ancestor wouldn't even be able to withstand a single blow from Him, and He would carry out the tasks He assigned without any compromise.

A subordinate of an enlightened being...

Not only will it enable Him to defeat His old rival, but it will also give Him more confidence in front of Xuan.

Therefore, although there were precautions, He did not take them too seriously.

Even later, when 'Heaven' deviated from its usual pattern and attempted to purge the human race, it was blocked by Him...

Looking back now, I must have been out of my mind!
Thus, while fearlessly fighting against 'Tai', the Sword Ancestor also 'followed' His orders to purge the clans under 'Tai's' command.

Through the efforts of many parties, humanity finally survived the most difficult period, the one most likely to lead to its annihilation.

It wasn't until the second enlightened being, a human named 'Kui', who is now known as the Overlord, appeared.

He finally felt that things were getting a bit tricky, so he thought of testing the Sword Ancestor's 'loyalty' by asking him to prepare a group of humans for his banquet.

However, the Sword Ancestor directly and firmly refused.

Enraged, He attacked, intending to capture the Sword Ancestor.

However, he discovered that the Sword Ancestor, who usually couldn't withstand a single blow from him, was actually able to suppress him when they really started fighting!
After a brief exchange, the Sword Ancestor escaped unscathed.

He suffered extremely serious injuries and was caught up by the 'Tai' who rushed over.

At the critical moment, Yang Feng stepped forward, explained the threat posed by the human race to Tai, and apologized to Tai on behalf of Him for all the past transgressions, which saved Him.

Yang Feng himself was struck by 'Tai' and nearly died.

But Gu knew perfectly well that Yang Feng was able to survive entirely because he had held back too much.

Later, Tai frankly admitted that He also saw the threat posed by the human race and did not want to waste his energy on the internal strife of the Cang Clan.

From beginning to end, 'Tai' only thought He was a fool...

In short, after that incident, Xuan Ye, who had been wandering around, finally returned and summoned them to discuss the matter of the two newly enlightened humans.

After that, they began to eliminate any Dongzhen beings from other races who might become 'enlightened beings'.

pity……

Although the human race, which has two enlightened beings, is weaker than the Cang race in overall strength, the Sword Ancestor is a reckless madman with no bottom line and never cares about bullying the weak.

He has messed with the human race, and no one knows what he might do.

Fearing the consequences, everything gradually slid towards an irreversible situation, and by the time they realized it, it was too late.

"Only now do I realize my mistake back then..."

Recalling the past after a long absence, and looking back on everything that happened, Gu couldn't help but sigh softly.

He then turned around and slowly walked back to the Temple of Time, which stood in the very center of the ancient Tai Xuan Tian.

Speaking of which...

At that time, some tribes formed an alliance with the human race. Because they were wary of the Sword Ancestor, they were hesitant to take action against him at first.

Later, they just used some threats and inducements, without expecting anything in return.

As a result, the vast majority of those tribes actually betrayed the human race and even offered some so-called 'pledges of allegiance'.

This incident also seems to have caused the later demon immortal to harbor extreme hatred towards the demon race, and to single-handedly slaughter all demons at the Dao Integration level and above...

Forget it.

It's a trivial matter, nothing to worry about.

……

……

Mission World 119.

Within the territory of the Xuanling Dynasty, two hundred li outside the city of Tongyun Prefecture.

Lingyun Mountain.

The mountain was majestic and precipitous, reaching into the blue sky, and forest birds could be seen flapping their wings from time to time.

Its shape is extremely peculiar; if viewed from a distance, the mountain resembles a pagoda, hence its name "Pagoda Mountain" among the nearby residents. We are currently halfway up the mountain.

Because it had rained last night, the already rugged mountain road was even more slippery and difficult to walk on.

In addition, strange rumors often circulate about this mountain, so few people come here.

Even the hunters in the vicinity do not hunt around this mountain unless it is a year of great disaster and they are about to starve to death because their food reserves are insufficient. Only then will they risk coming to this mountain to try their luck.

However, at this moment, a figure appeared on the rugged and slippery mountain road, walking lightly as if on flat ground.

She was holding half a marinated crab in her hand, sucking on the remaining crab meat as she walked uphill.

Soon, she tossed the empty crab shell aside and licked her fingers with lingering satisfaction.

"It tastes really good. I'll see if I can steal the secret recipe for the marinade when I go down the mountain later," she muttered to herself.

[Tai Xuan Immortal Network]

Name: Chi Jiuyu

【Age: 23】

[Realm: Early Stage of Divine Transformation]

[Class: Swordsman]

[Affiliation: Sword Sect]

[Foundation Technique: The Sword Manual of Annihilation (Supreme)]

[Supernatural Powers, Techniques, Swordsmanship: Taixu Sword Escape - Great Completion (Supreme), Taixu Breaking Illusion Golden Eye - Minor Completion (Supreme), Annihilation Dharma Form - Minor Completion (Supreme), Annihilation Four Symbols - Initial Creation (Divine Transformation+), Annihilation Sword - Initial Acquisition of Divine Essence (??), "Elucidation of the True Talisman of the Dao" - Minor Completion (True Understanding)...]

[Permissions: Ascension Envoy, Level 3, Grade 2]

[Auxiliary Module: No Permission]

Ascension Points: 106

Because she exchanged some items at the exchange center, she only had 106 Ascension Points left.

Compared to the previous beta version, the current personal interface has not changed much, except that the 'beta version' label is no longer present.

To be honest, Chi Jiuyu felt that the personal interface from the Immortal Sect competition was better.

Subsequent versions removed the most important 'review' section, which is a big mistake!
After all, only with evaluation can we better understand ourselves!
However, it would be best to remove some unimportant prefixes; that would make it perfect!
The updated 'Permissions' section.

She had already used her extensive network of contacts to inquire about it.

The authority of the Ascension Messenger is divided into three levels, and each level is further divided into three grades.

Aside from the Ascension Messengers who participated in the closed beta Ascension Mission and were classified as 'Level 3, Grade 2', all those who accepted the Ascension Mission after the Tai Xuan Immortal Network closed beta ended had 'Level 3, Grade 3' permissions.

Hey!

Thinking about it, she looked at the Ascension Mission section again.

[Task 1: Investigate the cause of the disappearance of the extraordinary in the mission world. Reward: 20 Ascension Points (Completed)]

[Mission Two: Defeat the Mastermind; Reward: 45 Ascension Points]

[Task 3, unlocked upon completion of Task 2, reward: 35 Ascension Points]

The total reward is only 100 Ascension Points.

Compared to the ascension missions performed during the previous closed beta, the rewards have been reduced by half.

But it's not surprising.

After all, the difficulty of this mission was not very high.

For example, in this second mission, defeating the mastermind behind the scenes and giving 45 Ascension Points is already quite generous.

After all, this is just a world at the Nascent Soul level. Could the local cultivators of such a small world possibly defeat her, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, the number one genius of all the heavens and myriad realms?

She then closed her personal interface and used a cleansing spell to remove the marinade from her hands.

In fact, a single burst of magic power can remove it, but using the Cleanse spell consumes less energy.

Although confident that no one in the world could beat her, Chi Jiuyu still acted very cautiously.

In just the short time she had walked up the mountain, she had already secretly deployed nineteen miniature reconnaissance puppets produced by the Supreme Dao Sect.

Eating crabs while walking upwards was merely a ploy to make the mastermind think she was unsuspecting, thus lowering their guard.

suddenly!

Chi Jiuyu stopped, his relaxed expression vanishing, replaced by solemnity.

A curious voice followed.

"Your magic is interesting."

The moment those words reached her ears, she immediately realized that thirteen of the nineteen miniature reconnaissance puppets she had thrown out had lost contact.

Only six reconnaissance golems without any psionic structure remain undiscovered.

The real-time feed of images appeared directly on her retina via a special receiver and was quickly analyzed and processed by a small information processing terminal.

[Activating the 'Supreme' Spiritual Source Detection System, model building in progress...]

[Analyzing...]

This is a product she purchased through Zhao Ruohan's channels.

Among them, the 25th generation 'Supreme' Spirit Source Detection System can avoid interference from most formations and abnormal rules.

Furthermore, it can be adjusted based on imported data, making it a product specifically designed for precise reconnaissance in various environments.

It is said that it was developed to cope with different world environments after the Ascension mission became more widespread.

The Supreme Daoist Sect has already begun making preparations in advance.

Using the remaining six reconnaissance puppets, the entire Lingyun Mountain quickly came into view, and the spiritual source interference points outside the mountain were swiftly eliminated.

Chi Jiuyu remained unmoved.

"Who?!"

"Fellow Daoist from out of town, there's no need to be nervous," a gentle voice came from the side.

Ahead, a figure appeared, treading on clouds and rosy hues, exuding an ethereal aura.

He was dressed in a magnificent robe, with a jade-white background and long sleeves adorned with golden cloud patterns, and a flowing character '灵' (spirit) on the front of his collar.

Her hair was tied up with a jade crown, and her face was exquisite and perfect.

A perfectly shaped hexagonal amethyst adorns her brow, and her eyes shimmer with a dazzling array of seven colors, like jewels.

"I am Gu Xingyun, greetings to fellow Daoist."

He was so charming that no one could find fault with him.

"I wonder if you could tell me about the spell you just used? To be honest, I have never seen such a perfect spell in all my years of cultivation."

Gu Xingyun's tone was full of sincerity.

It's a minor technique that only has a 'cleaning' effect, but it has perfected both energy consumption and cleaning effectiveness, leaving no room for optimization.

It's as if no matter how he modifies it, it's a negative optimization of the cleaning technique.

This is incredible!

You should know that he has combined the strengths of all the extraordinary beings in the world and is well-versed in all the extraordinary knowledge from ancient times to the present.

Who do you think you are!

Chi Jiuyu showed no politeness whatsoever.

The guy in front of me seemed polite, but the arrogance in his eyes was undisguised.

It was as if he alone was a perfect being who transcended everything, and everyone else was merely an inferior being far inferior to him.

"Stop pretending!"

The longsword appeared in his hand, but instead of swinging it at Gu Xingyun in front of him, he slashed at his side!
