Grandpa, times have changed.

Not long after, at Chi Jiuyu's cave.

Zhao Ruohan stood in front of the wooden frame outside the cave, observing the Xuanzhu Fruit tree that looked like it was carved from white jade. She held a Xuanzhu Fruit in her hand and ate the flesh in small bites. Brilliant rays of light surged and surrounded her.

She was already exceptionally beautiful, and now, surrounded by the rainbow, she exuded an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

"Why am I so funny..."

Seeing this, Chi Jiuyu couldn't help but mutter to herself.

The photos taken earlier were turned into emojis by their master and are frequently used in the group chat between the three of them.

Fortunately, Xiao Yunlu respected her as her senior, so the meme wasn't leaked...

But he himself is also very good-looking, and is a sword cultivator known for his 'elegance' and 'handsomeness'!

Why do I look so funny when I eat this Xuanzhu Fruit?!
The Nine Fishermen Ancestor felt somewhat unbalanced.

She kept her head down, feeling depressed for a while, until the 'supreme wisdom' took effect, and then she raised her head again.

Ah!
This style definitely doesn't suit me!

Xiao Zhao is a cultivator and a fairy, so it's normal for her to adapt to these special effects.

As a sword cultivator, a cold and powerful image suits me, just like my master.

She was thinking to herself whether she should go find a set of black clothes to change into.

"what happened to you?"

The sound rang in my ears.

Then Zhao Ruohan, who was standing in front of the wooden frame, looked over at some point with a strange expression.

She noticed that Chi Jiuyu's expression had changed several times.

"Nothing, just thinking about something," Chi Jiuyu casually brushed it off.

She would never mention that she had just felt resentful, thinking about how her master had taken a picture of her eating the Xuanzhu Fruit and turned it into an emoji.

"Ah."

Zhao Ruohan didn't think much of it, assuming that Chi Jiuyu was thinking about the competition that had happened not long ago.

After all, although the match didn't last long, both of them used their strongest techniques.

She was still thinking about it when she ate the Xuanzhu fruit.

"Hey Xiao Zhao, do you think this Xuanzhu Fruit Tree will be helpful to you? Why don't you take it back and nurture it for a while?" Chi Jiuyu changed the subject.

Zhao Ruohan was taken aback, but quickly shook her head slightly:

"No need. The spirit plant seeds given by the Sword Ancestor have just been planted, and it is not suitable for them to come into contact with other spirit plants now."

Especially the Xuanzhu Fruit Tree, a top-tier spiritual plant.

She paused, then added.

"I really need to borrow your Xuanzhu Fruit Tree sometime in the future."

The spiritual plant given by the Sword Ancestor has an attribute that leans towards 'extreme yang'. Through innate supernatural powers, one can use its spiritual essence to refine and temper one's magical power.

However, if this continues, it will definitely change the nature of the magic, making it violent and difficult to control.

Therefore, after reaching a certain stage, it is necessary to use the spiritual essence of some 'yin' spiritual plants to harmonize the magic power and restore its peace.

"Hey! Just let me know when you need it!" Chi Jiuyu said magnanimously. "We're practically family!"

"Thank you."

"Don't mention it! If you take it with you, it'll save me some money on spirit liquid!"

This Xuanzhu fruit tree is extremely delicate; the cultivation liquid used must be the best of the best.

If it weren't for her extraordinary talent and outstanding execution ability, which earned her a considerable amount of contribution points for each mission and the occasional red envelopes from her martial uncle...

If an ordinary cultivator were to support this, they would probably go bankrupt long ago!

"correct."

Chi Jiuyu casually picked up the water jug ​​next to him and walked over to Zhao Ruohan's side. While watering the Xuanzhu fruit tree with spiritual liquid, he asked her a question.

"Little Zhao, your ascension quest cooldown period is almost over, right?"

"There's still a week left, but it's hard to get a job."

Among cultivators of the Immortal Sect, the Ascension Quest is widely recognized as the quest with the highest reward rate.

Although the Immortal Network encompasses two major realms: the First Earth Immortal Realm and the Second Abyss Realm.

However, not all worlds are in a suitable state for Ascended Messengers to carry out their missions.

After layers of screening, each batch of ascension missions is only a dozen or so, and at most a hundred.

Each immortal sect has nearly a hundred ascension missions per period, which sounds like a lot, but compared to the vast number of cultivators in the immortal sects, it is completely insignificant.

Ascension envoys like her, who have carried out an ascension mission once, will be ranked relatively low.

Zhao Ruohan sighed softly: "The Ascension Points of the Supreme Dao Sect have now been inflated to 1300 Contribution Points."

Keep in mind that these are contribution points, which can only be obtained through Immortal Sect missions and are extremely valuable. The exchange rate between them and spirit coins is 1:1000.
In other words, it takes more than 1.3 million spirit coins to exchange for one ascension point.

Chi Jiuyu pouted:

"The Sword Sect has reached 1400."

She even sold ten points to equip her starship with the newly launched modules.

I thought it would take a while to sell, but as soon as I listed it, someone asked about it.

Damn, those rich bastards are really rich!

Even though she, the Nine Fishermen Ancestor, could barely be considered a second-generation immortal, compared to those rich and powerful families, she was no different from a pauper!

Hey~
In other words, the Tai Xuan Immortal Network has not opened the trading function for Ascension Points, otherwise the price would have been driven even higher.

But this also shows that the value of Ascension Points is truly high.

"It is said that the first batch of Ascension Messengers received the highest value of contribution points, and they also have a corresponding [Ascension Point Exchange Center], which will only close after they have used up the Ascension Points they obtained from that mission."

The Ascension Point Exchange Center has been adjusted, and the items that can be exchanged are now standardized.

“That’s quite normal.” Chi Jiuyu put down the kettle in her hand.

She had read the mission reports of the first batch of ascended envoys, and the difficulty was on a completely different level compared to the missions that followed!
If she were to carry it out, she probably wouldn't get a very high score either.

"Speaking of which, Xiao Zhao, aren't you a fairy? Why don't you just ask Senior Hongzun to assign you a task?" Chi Jiuyu teased.

Zhao Ruohan raised an eyebrow: "Why don't you ask Senior Sword Master to assign you a task?"

"I'm not the kind of person who does these kinds of underhanded things!" Chi Jiuyu said with a serious expression.

Zhao Ruohan stared at her expressionlessly.

So I am one?
"Hehe! Just kidding." Chi Jiuyu said with a grin.

But soon, the smile on her face disappeared.

His gaze shifted to the distance, watching the clouds drift and swirl across the sky, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

"Little Zhao, what do you think the future will hold?"

Tai Xuan Immortal Network, Ascension Quest, Ascension Hall...

Everything is constantly changing this world; they move forward with the tide of the times, sailing towards an unknowable future.

Zhao Ruohan pursed her lips and followed Chi Jiuyu's gaze, looking into the distance as well.

"We don't know, but we will eventually witness it."

……

……

time flies.

More than a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

During this period, Zhao Ruohan, who had returned to the Supreme Dao Sect, waited for more than two weeks before finally receiving an ascension mission.

They have now left the Tai Xuan Realm.

Although Chi Jiuyu's 'Ascension Mission' cooldown period has ended, he can only stay in the Sword Sect to consolidate his improved 'Annihilation Sword' because he can't get the mission.

the other side.

The Righteous Alliance.

With the completion of the Ascension Hall and the confirmation of the related mission worlds, the Righteous Alliance...

More precisely, Chen Yuanlin also ushered in his first ascension mission.

At the bottom of the Xuanxu Sea lies the highest council of the Righteous Path Alliance.

Beside the Speaker's Tower.

Looking around, a majestic and sacred golden archway stands, inscribed with three powerful characters: Ascension Hall.

The steps, constructed of neat, azure jade, stretched straight upwards, with ethereal energy wafting from both sides, creating a scene reminiscent of a fairyland.

At the end of the jade steps stood a magnificent and sacred palace, its white walls radiating light, with mysterious runes faintly visible.

In order not to affect the function of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network, its specifications are completely consistent with the Ascension Hall of the Immortal Sect, without the slightest deviation.

"Whoo~"

Chen Yuanlin, the executor of this ascension mission, stood in front of the entrance to the Ascension Hall, looking at the pale golden, semi-transparent light curtain hanging down from above, and gently exhaled.

The inscriptions flowed, and through this semi-transparent light curtain, one could vaguely see the scene inside the hall.

Chen Yuanlin's feelings were somewhat complicated at this moment.

He had heard about it.

When he was chosen as the executor of the ascension mission, many of the first councilors disagreed. It was only by the first speaker's strong opposition that his status as the ascension messenger was preserved.

'Is this the opportunity you were talking about?'

With that thought in mind, Chen Yuanlin took a deep breath and stepped inside.

I felt a cool sensation on my body, as if I had passed through a thin film of water, and suddenly my vision cleared up.

Before he could even observe the situation inside the hall, he felt countless heavy gazes fall upon him, and his body tensed up instantly.

But this situation only lasted for a short while before the heavy feeling disappeared.

"You should already know about the details of this ascension mission."

A familiar voice rang in my ears.

Looking up, I saw Yuan, dressed in a black overcoat, standing opposite me, looking at me.

There were many other people around him, each of whom was a famous figure in the Righteous Alliance.

Of the current 36 members of parliament, 30 are present, and there are also some I haven't seen before.

"Yes."

"In that case, let's not delay any longer and set off immediately," Yuan said succinctly.

"Yes!"

Chen Yuanlin bowed and, under the watchful eyes of many high-level cultivators, arrived at the platform at the very top of the Ascension Platform.

The personal interface also popped up at this moment.

[Tai Xuan Immortal Network]

Name: Chen Yuanlin

【Age: 26】

[Realm: Early Stage of Divine Transformation]

[Occupation: Magic Cultivator, Body Cultivator]

[Affiliation: Righteous Alliance]

……

Buzz~!

As a dazzling halo, resembling a galaxy, spread out, Chen Yuanlin felt a solemn, awe-inspiring, and infinitely mysterious echo reverberating in his ears.

The user interface, which had remained unchanged, was now displaying lines of text rapidly.

[Connecting to beacon... Connection successful!]

[The quest item, Ascension Platform, has been placed in your personal storage space. Please use it after the total progress of the three ascension quests reaches 70%.]

[This mission's world: Unnamed World 17965 (God Transformation)]

[World type for this mission: Hive Dimension]

The Hive Plane?

It turns out this is the type of world.

Thankfully, it's not the 'starry sky and universe' type.

According to the Ascension Messenger mission reports he had read during this period, worlds of the starry universe type were the most troublesome.

Chen Yuanlin kept recalling information about the 'Hive Plane' type of world.

[Immortal power injected, coordinate calculation complete, initiating the cross-chaos sea boundary-finding process!]

[Quest World Coordinates Determined: Second - Xunyuan Realm]

[Please note! This mission has a time limit of ninety days in the Central Continent of the Tai Xuan Realm, which translates to three years in the mission world (without using time-space auxiliary modules). Mission progress will be automatically calculated upon expiration!]

Three years?
The deadline for the task was given quite generously.

Speaking of this 'Second Abyss Realm,' could it be related to the first Speaker...?

[3, 2, 1, let the crossover begin!]

Before he could think any further, his eyes lit up and he vanished from the Ascension Hall.

"..."

The hall was unusually quiet.

Everyone stared intently at the spot where Chen Yuanlin had just stood, their eyes revealing a complex mix of emotions.

can't read……

I can't understand it at all!
The lowest level of cultivators present was the Dao Integration level, and the highest level was even the Cave True Realm, but none of them could see the operating principle of the Immortal Network.

This is the Tai Xuan Immortal Network!
Even the all-knowing and profound Dongzhen was no different from an ordinary person who had not yet entered the Dao in his presence.

This feeling……

It's like facing a true immortal!
wrong!

The Immortal Net itself is based on the immortal power of the Sword Ancestor, so it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's an extension of the True Immortals...

"I don't know if doing this is the right or wrong thing..."

One of the lawmakers couldn't help but sigh.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he felt a tightness in his heart, as if he were being watched by some extremely terrifying being.

He turned around with difficulty, only to see a burly man carrying a long sword looking at him from beside the first speaker. The man's eyes were calm, but they sent chills down his spine.

It was Gu Mo, who had just returned to the Righteous Alliance not long ago.

"A true immortal's decision is never wrong." The calm voice echoed throughout the Ascension Hall.

Without experiencing the hardships of that era, one will never understand the significance of the existence of 'immortals'.

Gu Mo knew very well that all of this was already a 'decent' gift from the True Immortals.

The atmosphere inside the Ascension Hall became somewhat oppressive.

In the end, it was Yuan who broke the silence.

"The next step is to set up the Xianwang connection nodes."

Then Mingyu and Ning Wanzhu, who had been silent all along, stepped forward.

Accompanying them was a female Taoist master.

"I'll have to trouble Senior Fumeng this time."

Fu Meng is the younger sister of Fu Yuan, the Dao Master of Qianqiu.

"You're too kind..." Fu Meng's expression was somewhat stiff.

She originally went to confront Yuan, but he managed to sway her with just a few words and she inexplicably became the so-called 'Immortal Network Expansion Envoy'.

Not only did they fail to achieve their goal, they also ended up getting themselves involved and becoming laborers.

No wonder she looked so happy!
"Please do." Yuan said gently.

He didn't have any ill feelings towards this straightforward senior, Fu Meng.

Not to mention that she now has to accompany Wanzhu and Mingyu to complete the arduous task of building the immortal network connection nodes.

"..."

Fu Meng stepped forward silently.

Fu Yuan, who was standing to the side, had a somewhat gloomy expression.

He never expected that his little sister would inexplicably become the so-called 'Immortal Network Expansion Envoy'.

She wouldn't say why when asked. (End of Chapter)
