How can one become an immortal with such laziness?

Compared to before, does she really belong to the category of those who are rather foolish?

Nobody left her any instructions or anything like "Rules to Know Before Ascension"!

Kong Yuqing was internally churning with excitement, but on the surface, she maintained the mature and composed smile of an older generation of cultivators: "You've been planning this for a long time, haven't you? Well, it's always good to be prepared!"

May I ask what you've prepared? Ah, of course, you can refuse if you don't want to talk about it; I'm just a tiny bit curious.

"Actually, it's nothing much to say. I just prepared a lot of trump cards for ascension."

But if we say it now, it will be embarrassing for us if our trump card doesn't work out.

I won't go into details; we can decide whether to brag about it after we succeed.

Hongli pulled her little face out of Heiyang's arms and explained briefly with a helpless expression: "To put it simply: the tools for running away, the magic of running away, the plan for running away, the backup plan for running away, and after the run-away fails, using the communication mirror to cry and beg for comfort from your old parents back home, and then thinking of another way to run away."

Kong Yuqing: "..."

"Please understand, we're still young, we haven't lived enough yet!"

Hei Yang waved his hand listlessly and sighed, "Alright, alright, you don't need to make that complicated expression."

We will definitely fulfill our responsibilities; we won't just run away.

"The main problem is that my family is all here, so I can't run away."

Hongli added quietly, "It's not that they don't want to run, it's just that they can't."

Kong Yuqing: "..."

"Cough cough..."

Kong Yuqing suppressed her urge to complain and tried her best to appear as a reliable elder.

"So, you're saying that you haven't reached the point of undergoing the tribulation yet, but you're already preparing to try and make contact with the world's protective barrier?"

When Kong Yuqing first heard the news, his shock was no less than when he heard that the two were at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm.

After all, judging from their previous expressions and their worried faces just now, it's clear that they are very reluctant to leave the house. But now they want to go out, which is contradictory. You know, there's no such thing as "dying early and being reborn early" in the world of travel!

"Otherwise, since we've already reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul realm, there's nothing we can do even if we don't want to go now."

Hongli clung to Heiyang's arm and sat up, her expression serious: "Instead of waiting to be forcibly kicked out of the Aoyou Realm and feeling lost, it's better to scout the place now. That way, if something happens, we'll have some experience to do the crime..."

"Ahem, just ignore the criminal undertone in Xiao Li's words..."

Hei Yang coughed and gently pressed his large hand on Hong Li's head, silencing the latter: "But in general, that's the gist of it."

So we've contacted you, and we hope you seniors can help us out in case we mess things up and lose control of the situation..."

"The situation was out of control?"

Kong Yuqing was somewhat puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"Uh, that..."

Hei Yang hesitated for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and said, "Didn't we just say that although we've reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, we haven't undergone the tribulation yet? So, if we want to go out and take a look, we'll naturally dig a small hole inside the world's protective barrier..."

Kong Yuqing: "?"

Kong Yuqing: "???"

"what?"

Kong Yuqing was dumbfounded.

"Um, cough cough, please don't get agitated, please don't get agitated. We will try our best not to disrupt the overall operation of the shield. Letting you know is just to be on the safe side."

Hei Yang quickly explained, "Besides, Xiao Li and I accidentally broke the shield last time, and someone came to repair it afterwards! So even if it gets worse, it won't get too bad!"

Kong Yuqing: "..."

It seems I've overheard some incredible secret.

To be honest, if someone told Kong Yuqing that they wanted to drill a hole in the shield, Kong Yuqing might not take it seriously. Even if it is easier to break through from the inside than from the outside, the shield of the world is not something that just anyone can mess with.

What a joke! If the shield were so easily breached, all those people guarding it for so many years would have been for nothing.

But these two in front of her obviously couldn't be judged by common sense. After all, she had never heard of anyone being able to contact the outside world while inside the Journey Realm. Who knows when these two kids would come up with something big for her.

If it were back when she was still the sect leader, she would still appreciate progressive young people who have their own ideas, innovative personalities, and creativity!

But now it concerns a major issue for the entire world, and Kong Yuqing feels that being even more conservative is not an overstatement.

After all, so many ancestors have been obediently guarding the outside world, and haven't thought of coming back to visit all these years.

Are they really unable to break through this shield?

It might be too difficult for one or two people to break through, but with so many powerful individuals working together, they should be able to break the barrier.

But they've endured it all these years, precisely because they're afraid of causing a domino effect: if they try to open a door but accidentally break the entire protective barrier, the entire Aerial Realm will be exposed to the outside world, and all sorts of random things, whether malicious or benevolent, can come in at will, and that would be the end of them!

"Um, you two..."

Kong Yuqing paused, then tentatively asked, "Isn't there a gentler method, like being able to get out without breaking the shield?"

Kong Yuqing felt she had asked a stupid question. If she had gentle methods, would the person have bothered to break the protective barrier? She hadn't expected to get a positive answer when she asked the question!

Even so, we can't just stand by and watch these two mess around with the shield, can we?

"..."

Hei Yang Hong Li fell silent.

Kong Yuqing: "???"

"No way, you two actually have one?!"

Kong Yuqing was dumbfounded.

"Um, our..."

Hei Yang Hongli hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth: "We're not sure if that method can only be used once..."

They do have a gentle approach, namely the unlimited access they granted a long time ago!

But each person can only bind one of those things, and it doesn't say whether it can be reused. What if you use the pass to go out and can't come back?

If they were to make a hole in the shield and go outside, even if the shield quickly repaired itself, they could easily return.

However, Hei Yang Hong Li couldn't guarantee that opening a small hole inside the shield wouldn't have any major impact.

This was like a young woman riding in a bridal sedan chair, Hei Yang marrying Hong Li, and their wedding night – all first-time experiences for them. Until that day truly arrived, who knew what it would be like!

Although a lazy creature from outside had accidentally wandered in, and although Hei Yang Hong Li had assessed the risks, she felt that the problem was not serious.

But some things don't turn out the way you expect, especially matters concerning the survival of the world, which cannot be taken lightly.

Some things are like bacteria in a petri dish; they can die just like that. What if the big protective shield is actually made by something that is more sensitive inside?

Just like when they were dating, Hei Yang Hong Li would say things like, "Wait until we get married, you'll be sorry," and "I'll teach you a lesson then."

Until the two actually got married and were completely honest with each other, Hongli thought that Heiyang was just bragging like her. But things turned out to be beyond her expectations, leaving her utterly defeated.

I vaguely remember her crying very loudly when she begged her father for mercy...

Hongli was lost in memories of the past...

When Kong Yuqing heard Hei Yang Hongli say that such a method might only be used once, she instantly understood their thoughts, and her expression immediately became complicated.

To be fair, Kong Yuqing naturally prefers a more conservative approach.

However, she was too embarrassed to use any grand principles or morals to coerce or manipulate the two of them, and too embarrassed to use high-sounding reasons to make them willingly put themselves in danger.

After all, even the most secure measures are the property of Hei Yang Hong Li. The other party has obviously considered the consequences seriously and has also actively proposed security measures, although they are not 100% secure.

But who can guarantee that everything will be 100% problem-free?

From Kong Yuqing's perspective, considering Hei Yang and Hong Li's age, they were already people who understood the greater good!

Thinking back to what her peers were like when she was not yet twenty, and then looking at these two, Kong Yuqing felt that she should say no more and let them weigh the pros and cons themselves.

No matter which method you decide to use, just let her know, and she'll inform the seniors to cooperate!

Or rather, given the caution of their predecessors, even if Hei Yang Hong Li says they want to use a safe method, they will probably still make preparations for both possibilities.

The fact that the space travel world hasn't experienced any major troubles over the years already proves that they're not just standing around doing nothing!

Now, all she needs to do is wait quietly for the two of them to give their decision after careful consideration.

Hei Yang was indeed thinking about it seriously.

He thanked Kong Yuqing, said he needed to think it over, and would let everyone know when he had made up his mind, then disconnected the communication.

He scratched his head in frustration, then reached out and patted Hongli: "Hey, snap out of it! Stop thinking about writing unhealthy things!"

"Who? Who's thinking nonsense?!"

Hongli slid off the sofa, then jumped back in an instant. She stared at Heiyang with wide eyes and hands on her hips, saying confidently, "I'm also seriously considering which method to use to get out, okay!"

"Heh, I've practically got Hong Xiaoli, don't I know you well enough?"

Hei Yang rolled his eyes and chuckled, "Even if you really did think about how to get out, you must have had other wild ideas! Denying it won't change anything, it's the truth."

"?!!"

Hongli was shocked: "How...how did you know?!"

Hongli nervously touched her head.
