Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"No...you...you really activated it? How could someone from the lower realm possibly understand this kind of thing? Even I couldn't activate or make it work properly."

Seeing the passage open smoothly, the spirit of Qingyang Mountain stared at Yu Qingge with both shock and confusion.

He Li also stared at Yu Qingge, not believing the nonsense she had just said.

I've seen this kind of thing in ancient books before...

That's pure nonsense.

Ultimately, the passage on this island was a backup plan left by powerful beings in the past when they severed the connection between heaven and earth. It was created by Qi cultivators from the middle and upper realms to facilitate travel between the two realms.

How could there possibly be any records of you in the mortal realm?

Even if someone does know about this and has recorded it.

What about the activation method?

How can the record be activated?

That's even more absurd.

After all, if these things were truly recorded, then the past would not be as simple as Xu Fu running to the Middle Realm; countless "talents" like Xu Fu would inevitably have appeared in history.

And your people from the Five Tribes of Shu Province...

If it were really as Yu Qingge said, you would probably have already started to follow Xu Fu and rush to the Middle Realm. How could you have waited until now to suddenly make a fuss?

"Tell me, what exactly happened? What secrets are you five departments holding?"

"Or rather, what are you planning to do?"

Staring at Yu Qingge, He Li asked.

However, Yu Qingge remained calm.

After all, she had already guessed the current situation when she planned to activate the channel, so she calmly replied, "I wasn't lying to you just now."

"I did see information about this type of channel in ancient books and knew how to activate it."

"But I don't think I ever said that..."

"That ancient book must be from the mortal realm, right?"

Huh? He Li was stunned upon hearing this.

Yes, she definitely didn't say that.

Mu Lan, standing beside him, chimed in, "Are you implying that your ancient texts originated from the Middle Realm?"

"Is that not allowed?" Yu Qingge retorted, "There are so many spatial anomalies of varying sizes in the Great Xia, and many forces have obtained things from the Middle Realm or even the Upper Realm from them."

"We, the descendants of the ancient Shu people, are divided into five groups..."

"Of course, that's no exception. We discovered those ancient books from the spatial anomaly."

Her explanation is actually quite correct.

Although He Li knew she was definitely not telling the truth.

But... there's nothing I can do.

With Yu Ji not around and without the synchronization method, he had no way of knowing what Yu Qingge was thinking, so when he saw that Yu Qingge's reason was appropriate, he was too lazy to ask further.

He only coldly reminded them: "It is said that the Shu Kingdom in the Middle Realm intends to cooperate with the people of the Shu Land in the Lower Realm."

"Xu Fu seems to have been in the Shu Kingdom as well."

"He is not dead."

"Although I don't know what they're plotting..."

"But I must remind you, you'd better not have done anything shady with the Shu Kingdom in the Central Realm, otherwise..." He Li didn't continue.

But the threat in his words was quite obvious.

Yu Qingge remained silent upon hearing this, but a hint of unease flickered in her eyes in the darkness.

She responded quickly, though verbally...

"We won't do anything reckless without you reminding us."

After saying that, she looked at the opened passage: "Now... should we go straight in and take a look at the Middle Realm? Or should we wait and go later? After all, we don't know what's going on behind us yet."

"The others haven't arrived yet either."

"Going there rashly might be..."

"We definitely have to go!" He Li interrupted him. "We won't get any useful information just by looking here."

"What about the others..." Yu Qingge pressed.

He Li waved his hand: "I'm not waiting anymore."

"Anyway, we're just going to check things out. Too many people going might not be a good thing."

"Once we figure out what's going on, it won't be too late to take more people to the Middle Realm... Alright, enough talk, I'll go ahead and lead the way to take a look first."

Having said that, he lifted his leg and moved closer to the passageway.

Upon arriving at that hazy, constantly shifting void, He Li reached out...

hum! ! !

As his palm passed through the water mist, this time the feedback from the back of his palm was no longer the feeling of passing through a virtual screen, but the feeling of touching other areas with temperature differences.

This means there's nothing wrong with the passageway.

Without further hesitation, He Li transformed into a streak of light and plunged into the mist.

As his figure disappeared into the passage...

Yu Qingge rushed in right after her.

The others quickly followed.

Meanwhile, on an unnamed island in the Middle Realm...

hum! ! !

Hidden in the dim forest, the circular brick door frame, already covered by vines, suddenly emitted light. As water vapor surged in the center of the door frame, He Li's figure suddenly darted out.

Thud! As he landed, He Li felt an unprecedented sense of comfort as his pores relaxed.

The pleasant sensation came from the feedback of the spiritual energy in the middle realm, which was far more concentrated and of higher quality than that in the lower realm. However, He Li's enjoyment lasted less than two seconds before he suddenly frowned.

Just now...

He felt like he was being watched.

The feeling was very obvious, and it even created pressure that made him feel very uncomfortable.

However, even after instantly expanding his spiritual sense to cover most of the island, he found nothing unusual. Finally, with some suspicion, he looked up and stared at the gloomy sky of the Middle Realm...

"What are you looking at?"

He Li was looking around when he heard a voice behind him.

It was Yu Qingge who followed.

He Li shook his head upon hearing this.

But then, he squinted and asked, "Do you feel like you're being watched by something?"

"Being watched..." Yu Qingge frowned.

After carefully sensing it, she nodded somewhat seriously: "I did have a feeling just now that someone was watching me, but it disappeared very quickly... Do you know what that thing was?"

"I guess so!" He Li pointed to the sky.

Yu Qingge was somewhat surprised.

She looked up at the dim sky with suspicion, but immediately realized that He Li was not saying there was something in the sky, but rather that what was watching them might be the Dao of Heaven.

Perhaps those Qi cultivators from the middle realm would have the same feeling when they went down to the lower realm?

She still felt some worry about this.

"The Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm will target those Qi cultivators."

"That's why they don't dare to show themselves easily."

"What if the Heavenly Dao of the Middle Realm does the same? If we were to fight here... do you think the Heavenly Dao of the Middle Realm would attack us and eliminate us?"

Yu Qingge couldn't help but ask.

He Li curled his lip: "It's certain that we're being targeted, but Heaven won't directly take action against us."

"Isn't this how things work in our lower realm?"

"So, don't panic too much."

"I think that as long as we don't go too far, the Heavenly Dao of the Middle Realm will at most affect our luck, making it less easy for us to gain benefits and opportunities in the Middle Realm."

"There's nothing else."

Although He Li's words make sense.

But Yu Qingge still cautiously said, "No matter what, I think we'd better be careful."

"We can't afford to gamble on something like that!"

He Li shrugged and didn't reply.

Just then, Mu Lan, Yu Qi, Qingyang Mountain Spirit, and Bai Jian also came through the passage behind them. Bai Jian, in particular, was very excited to breathe in the air of the Middle Realm again.

Fortunately, she wasn't stupid; she understood her current status as a lowly servant and didn't do anything foolish.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain seemed quite surprised...

"This island..."

"How strange, it's also within the jurisdiction of the Blazing Sun Sect's inner sect, yet I've never seen it before?"

"Could it be that there's something similar to the Divine Qi that isolates this island, which is why I've never noticed it?" He looked around and gazed into the distance, pondering.

Although there are not many reference points on the sea surface.

But the spirits of Qingyang Mountain, having spent so many years in the Blazing Sun Sect, were naturally familiar with this place.

So it's just a simple check...

He then determined his current location.

He Li shrugged upon hearing his words: "If nothing unexpected happens, this small island and the inner sect island of the Blazing Sun Sect should be a whole. It's possible... the inner sect island has other components as well."

"After all, Neimen Island connects the two worlds."

"That island is the central hub!"

"This island we're on now, including other small islands that might be hidden in the lower realms..."

"These are the two boundary points."

As he said this, he looked into the distance.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

"Let's go, let's go to the surrounding area first... no, let's go directly to the Blazing Sun Sect's headquarters to see what's going on. If possible, let's go there and wipe them out in one fell swoop and make this our headquarters."

"This way, it will be more convenient and safer for us to come over later, or to bring others with us!"

He Li was about to take action.

The spirit of Qingyang Mountain suddenly spoke up: "Wait, it seems like someone we know is coming this way!"
