Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 12: Immortal Sect Takes the Blame

The main hall of Qianren Peak.

The various peak masters and elders gathered, including all ten Golden Core True Lords. Each wore a solemn expression, their brows etched with sorrow. No one spoke, and within the hall, one could hear a pin drop. Qi Hong, the Xuantian Sect's head, seated high above, frowned, glancing toward the door from time to time, as if waiting for something.

It was not until a green-robed elder rushed in from outside that everyone in the hall seemed to wake up and turned to look at the newcomer.

Sect Leader Qi Hong couldn't help but stand up and quickly walked over, asking anxiously, "How is it? Have you detected anything? Have you found out the reason why the forbidden area suddenly collapsed?"

The man shook his head, his face heavy. "I've searched the ruins more than a dozen times, using every possible method, but I haven't found anything unusual except the rocks."

"How is this possible?" Before Qi Hong could even speak, an elder couldn't help but exclaim, "If it's just an ordinary mountain, why would the Immortal Alliance list it as a forbidden area for the demons?"

"Tsk, what demon clan?" The head of Bailian Peak, always hot-tempered, scoffed coldly, "Isn't this all just an excuse made up by the Immortal Alliance? I don't think there's any forbidden area at all. It's just a means for them to contain our sect."

"But there are indeed many places in the forbidden area that are engraved with magic patterns." Some people hold different opinions.

"So what about the demonic patterns?" Bailian Peak Master said even more angrily. "That thing has been carved there for thousands of years, so there's nothing wrong with it, right? Now the ground has collapsed, and the so-called sealed demons haven't escaped. Isn't this enough to prove that the Immortal Alliance's claims are all lies?"

"..." The elders were silent. Not only the Lord of Bailian Peak, but everyone here had doubts.

Hundreds of years ago, an earthquake unearthed numerous huge rocks within the forbidden area, each etched with demonic patterns. Since then, the Immortal Alliance has declared the area a forbidden area, forbidding anyone from entering, not even those from the Xuantian Sect.

The Immortal Alliance claimed that an ancient demon clan was sealed there, and that if it were to emerge, it would bring disaster to all living things. Therefore, they had guarded that forbidden area for so many years. Now that the mountain had collapsed, the so-called vicious demon clan had disappeared without a trace.

The Lord of Bailian Peak laughed even more sarcastically, "Hmph, what demon clan? I think it's just the Immortal Alliance covering up their ungrateful borrowing..."

"Master Lan, be careful with your words!" The master of Biluo Peak on the side changed his expression and immediately gave a warning.

"Am I wrong?" Lan Yu continued, disregarding the question. "Everyone knows where all the magic weapons and skills discovered by various sects have ended up over the years. I don't believe they really took them back and destroyed them. Aren't they just relying on the fact that they are the only ones who can understand those words? Otherwise, how could those people's cultivation be so high..."

"Junior Brother Lan!" Seeing that his words were getting more and more outrageous, the head of the sect had to speak out to stop him.

Lan Yu then reluctantly shut up.

But it was obvious that everyone thought so too, but they did not dare to speak out because of the power of the Immortal Alliance for so many years.

Sect Leader Qi Hong rubbed his brows in pain and sighed, "Forget it. Since we can't find out, let's report this to the Immortal Alliance. If they really want to punish us, we can only obey their orders."

Lan Yu's face grew even angrier, and he wanted to speak, but seeing the Sect Leader's expression, he held back.

Why? This was clearly the Xuantian Sect's territory, and the Immortal Alliance had inexplicably set up a restricted area there for hundreds of years, and now that the mountain had collapsed, they were blaming them!

Wrong!

This was the feeling shared by everyone in the hall, yet there was nothing they could do. This was the Immortal Alliance, a league with a Nascent Soul True Person at its helm, governing all the immortal sects in the world. This was only on the surface; no one knew the true depth of its foundation. Even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not confront it head-on.

"Let's just leave this matter at that. We'll hand it over to the Immortal Alliance." Qi Hong waved his hand helplessly, then thought of something and asked, "By the way, the magic skills we found from the evil cultivators in Yanlin City last time should be sent to the Immortal Alliance."

"It has been sent." The elder on the right replied.

"Yes." Qi Hong nodded. "Everyone, guard the ruins for the next few days and don't let the disciples get close. We'll do anything after the Immortal Alliance sends people to investigate."

"Yes, Master!"

Although everyone still looked angry, they all nodded. Only the head of Bailian Peak, who was still gritting his teeth, lowered his head and remained silent.

Ever since her cultivation level soared to the level of the Divine Transformation like a rocket, Qiu Ci felt like a completely different person. Not only were her eyes no longer shortsighted, they could even see through things; her hearing was several times stronger. As long as she wanted, she could hear clearly the sound of any caterpillar crawling in the entire Xuantian Sect.

Especially the large amount of information that suddenly appeared in her mind. She had not noticed it before, but when she calmed down a little, she found that it was actually some knowledge about magic, skills, elixirs, talismans, formations, and so on.

This was clearly information transmitted directly to her by the mainframe while she was soaking in the strengthening pool. If the mainframe's stored data could be transmitted to the system, there was naturally a way to transmit it directly to her. In less than a single night, her mind had already overflowed with a plethora of compressed archives of cultivation information.

And it will automatically install and run as soon as you open it.

Yes, this information is not just information. Qiu Ci can clearly feel that the techniques and skills in her mind can be used at any time, as if her strengthened body has been added with this muscle memory and has completely digested the knowledge.

Qiu Ci spent five days to digest this huge compressed package. After all, installation takes time. But perhaps it was the impact of the knowledge, Qiu Ci strangely remembered some things before he woke up.

When she woke up earlier, she felt as if her memory was clouded by something, unable to recall anything from before. This was especially true after learning that this place and Blue Star were in the same spacetime, but twenty thousand years later. Qiu Ci felt even more like she had traveled to the future. After all, her memories contained no such things as cultivating immortals or the merging of worlds.

Now, some traces have been found from the main brain's information.

She remembered that before she fell asleep, she seemed to have gone to the most authoritative local hospital for a minor operation, and then fell asleep.

The Mastermind's historical database happened to contain records of that hospital, and on the date of her surgery, the hospital had a program to freeze people. She wondered if it was some fluke that had landed her in the program.

When she woke up, she had indeed crawled out of a metal box. However, there was an earthquake at the time and people around her were running for their lives. She was just following the crowd and didn't look closely. Afterwards, she was taken in by Qingniu Village.

Therefore, it is very likely that she did not travel through time, but was frozen and buried underground for more than 20,000 years.

As for why he did not wake up on Blue Star but appeared in Linyuan Continent, it seems to be related to this research institute. It’s just that the data received by the dog system is not complete and there is no specific information about this part.
