The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 570 Cross-World Expedition
This expedition team of twenty-four people was not all organized by the Xuantian Sect, but rather organized in the name of the entire Twelve Celestial Realms.

All the major powers of the Luo Kingdom were involved.

For example, the Xuantian Sect actually only has four people.

Wang Wu, Jiang Dongting, Lu Wuchen, and another prophet from the Imperial Observatory.

This number is quite good.

Some powerful forces actually only produced one half-step Grand Luo.

In addition, the expedition teams are not fixed and will be configured according to the different worlds they are going to explore.

In a weaker external environment, there might only be one half-step Great Luo leading the team, while the rest would be Taiyi Ninth-Order True Immortals.

As far as Wang Wu knew, there were currently four stable and fixed external locations in the Twelve Celestial Realms that could be explored and plundered.

The Dao Fire Realm is undoubtedly the most difficult one.

At this moment, Jiang Dongting signaled Wang Wu to take out his identity jade talisman. This was a self-introduction and a way for everyone to get to know each other. However, there was no need for anyone to act as the host to introduce them. Everyone would simply swipe their identity jade talisman across their chest, and a stream of light would illuminate, making it immediately clear who everyone was, what their strength was, and what their background was.

As soon as Wang Wu swiped the jade talisman, all eyes turned to him, and then a woman with a seductive figure smiled and said, "So you're from the same clan, Wang Wu, Wang Zhige. I've heard of you before, but I didn't expect you to have joined the Xuantian Sect. We should get to know each other better sometime."

Wang Wu smiled and gestured. The other party was also a half-step Great Luo, but he came from the Mangshan Ancient Bear Clan and seemed very friendly.

Other players who were close to Ronaldo also generally wore smiles or nodded in acknowledgment.

Wang Wu glanced at the team and immediately understood its composition.

He and Jiang Dongting claimed to be cooperating, but in reality, they were each cooperating with two Imperial Astronomical Observatory prophets. Jiang Dongting was in charge of working with Lu Wuchen in one group.

Wang Wu was paired with another astronomical observatory prophet named Ling Yue.

As for the other members of the expedition team, they were basically either a powerful half-step Grand Luo cultivator paired with an Imperial Observatory Prophet, or two weaker half-step Grand Luo cultivators paired with an Imperial Observatory Prophet.

In this scenario, we'll likely have to split up and operate separately, much like paratroopers landing in an air raid. Each group will provide cover for the others, and vice versa.

This makes it easier to disperse the enemy's forces and see who is luckier.

Soon, Su Rong and Lin Ran arrived. The former said in a deep voice:

"Gentlemen, this is our first expedition to the Dao Fire Realm in two thousand years. I think you are all familiar with the basic situation of the Dao Fire Realm, as well as the basic requirements for this expedition. As always, we must prioritize protecting the Astronomical Observatory Prophet. This is the prerequisite for you to find the Dao Fire Realm and return safely."

"Now, since this expedition was initiated and hosted by my Xuantian Sect, I will give you all a small gift as a token of my respect."

After saying that, Lin Ran distributed the twenty-four jade boxes.

When Wang Wu took it in his hand, he found an unfamiliar talisman and a cultivation pill inside.

"The talisman is a stabilizing talisman, and the pill is a cultivating elixir. Gentlemen, I warn you once again, the greatest danger in the expedition to the Dao Fire Realm always comes from the weakness of your soul. Now, please prepare yourselves. Five Great Luo Immortals are already in place at the Ascension Platform ahead. They will join forces to open a passage to the Dao Fire Realm for you. Remember, this passage will only last for three months. If you cannot return on time, do not worry. Just wait patiently for the passage to open again in two thousand years."

"please!"

As Su Rong and Lin Ran stepped aside, a ball of light, a pale blue, suddenly appeared behind them. It looked peaceful and serene, with a pure, untouched quality.

Upon first seeing the ball of light, Wang Wu didn't feel anything at all. He simply walked towards the ball of light with the others. But after a while, he suddenly realized that this was no ordinary ball of light. It was clearly the One Great Dao!

It is the embodiment of the supreme structure of their great cultivation world!
However, once he realized this, the blue sphere that had been peaceful and quiet just moments before, as pure as a return to simplicity, suddenly changed, transforming into a vast and incomparable seven-colored light curtain, as if a road to heaven had been built, leading straight to the unknown other side of deep space!

Around this seven-colored light curtain are the illusions of the five calamities: the God of Cold, the God of Fire, the God of Thunder, the God of Wind, and the God of Poison, which correspond to the five realms in the distance.

As for the five Great Luo Immortals, they stood above the five realms, separated by countless billions of miles, each holding up a tower of heaven and earth, radiating enormous Yin and Yang energies, which converged at a single point, exactly where the blue sphere of light had been.

It turned out to be the case.

At this moment, Wang Wu could even sense that at the end of the seven-colored light curtain, there was a vast, indescribable world operating in a way that he could not comprehend.

It is the realm of fire.

"Wang Wu! Wang Wu! What are you daydreaming about!" The astronomical prophet named Ling Yue called out anxiously. Only then did Wang Wu realize that he had fallen behind the group. The other members of the expedition team were already standing on the seven-colored light screen, ready to set off at any time.

He rushed over, feeling deeply shocked. At the same time, countless flashes of enlightenment rose and leaped up, and he wished he could immediately abandon everything and go into seclusion.

Damn, so this is the benefit of looking directly at the one true path.

This was nothing short of a tremendous opportunity for him.

"Don't rush, stay calm. This is how it is for those who first encounter the One Great Dao. The arising and ceasing of causes and conditions, the Dao is there and the Dao is not there. Even if it is the One Great Dao, you must be in control of yourself and not be controlled by it."

Suddenly, Ling Yue made a move, touching Wang Wu's brow. Instantly, a cool sensation spread, and all the enlightenment he had gained from seeing the One Great Dao dissipated, along with all the impulses in his heart.

He felt that even if his divine sense increased to 500,000 strands, it would still not reach this level.

Holy crap, is this the ultimate imperial astronomical oracle?
What a dragon!
"Thank you!"

Wang Wu quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his shock beyond words.

"No need to be so polite. We will need to cooperate closely from now on, and I will need your protection." Ling Yue smiled slightly, looking very calm.

Looking around again, Wang Wu saw that the other members of the expedition team seemed to be not far from him, but for some reason, he felt that they were separated by several dimensions.

Have we already set off?

"Yes, although the Ascension Platform can cross two realms, it cannot be reached instantly. There are countless variables involved, so it is better to be slower. For us, it will take about fifteen days to arrive, but for people in the two worlds, our round trip actually only took a moment."

"However, this time variable is negligible for two vast worlds and will not have any impact. But for us, it is essential to ensure time synchronization."

“Look at our twenty-four expedition team members. They all seem to be standing together, but in reality, there are already some variables at this moment.”

As he spoke, Ling Yue pointed to a group of three people in front of him. They seemed normal, but upon closer inspection, one could see that they were enveloped in a faint red light.

"Their time will be relatively faster than ours. They will arrive at the Dao Fire Realm a day earlier than us. Moreover, the three of them can easily separate the moment they arrive, meaning they will suddenly appear in different locations or in the same location. However, some will arrive an hour earlier, while others will arrive an hour later."

"The risks posed by these variables are enough to wipe them out completely."

"Of course, this is where the role of the Imperial Observatory's foresight comes into play. Like a navigator, they need to make constant adjustments and ultimately make up for these gaps in the details. As for Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, you are the sailor on this ship, and you must obey my orders in everything, understand?"

"Understand!"

Wang Wu nodded obediently, for he had never experienced such a scene before.

At this moment, Ling Yue took out a small Heaven and Earth Tower from his hand, but it was not a Heaven and Earth Tower; it seemed to be a special kind of immortal artifact, and then handed it to Wang Wu.

"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, do you see this immortal artifact? Try using your power to stabilize, balance, and maintain its Yin and Yang energies. It's very simple, isn't it? I will give you an order. From now on, you must wholeheartedly believe every word I say and carry it out without hesitation. No matter what you see or think, remember, you must do it, because when we are halfway through our journey, we will encounter ecological resistance from the Dao Fire Realm! This will be a tough battle."

Wang Wu observed it carefully but found nothing unusual about it. It was very simple; he easily figured out how to control it.

It feels like a balancing gyroscope.

Ling Yue didn't explain anything further, but instead closed his eyes to rest.

Everything was normal for the next ten days, until, without warning, Wang Wu felt a strange sense of sluggishness, as if he had fallen into a sticky quagmire, with thousands of ghostly arms pulling at him from all sides, and he couldn't exert any force at all.

At that moment, Wang Wu opened his eyes and saw that the magnificent bridge with its seven-colored glow had disappeared. The surroundings were pitch black, with no light in sight. But strangely, ninety-nine enormous, blood-red eyes, larger than the sun, had appeared in the sky.

Endless blood mist rose from above, and Wang Wu stared blankly, feeling as if his soul was about to be taken away by these large, blood-red eyes.

But at that moment, a familiar coolness surged forth. Ling Yue reached out and touched his brow, pulling him back. Looking around, the big eyeball was gone. The curtain bridge formed by the seven-colored glow was still there, and they were still crashing into the unknown Dao Fire Realm at an extremely fast speed.

and many more.

Wang Wu looked again at the immortal artifact in his hand, which resembled a gyroscope. Countless blood-red tentacles were wrapped around it, pulling and manipulating it haphazardly.

Ling Yue didn't intervene this time because it was something that Wang Wu needed to handle.
