Don't try to cultivate immortality; mortals live longer than immortals.

So the students obeyed the instructor's instructions and waited patiently in place.

Of course, they weren't just being silly and doing nothing. Those who knew each other well and had a good relationship would inevitably get together and whisper among themselves.

For example, Zhou Ran quietly slipped over to Duan Xuan's side: "Xuan, do you think we'll have a chance to get together once we get to the secret realm of the Azure Sky Cultivation World?"

"How would I know? It depends on luck. The teleportation is random, and according to the instructor, the secret realm we're going to enter this time is very large."

Duan Xuan sighed, looked up at his friend, and his expression turned serious: "Ranzi, I know you are remarkable in both talent and ability, but I am a little worried."

"Remember, this is not training. Don't be so irresponsible. There are many talented people in the world. Even if the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World is still in the classical era of immortal cultivation, there are probably some extremely difficult geniuses."

"Don't be careless, but don't overestimate yourself either. Be extra careful when you encounter an enemy."

Zhou Ran nodded, his expression becoming serious: "I understand, Ah Xuan, you need to be careful too."

"Safety first. Never take risks for the sake of making contributions. In short, you must survive."

The two brothers encouraged each other. Although they often joked around, teased each other, and even played pranks on each other, their relationship was actually quite good.

However, given Zhou Ran's personality, he obviously couldn't be serious for long, so he quickly reverted to his old ways and started teasing Duan Xuan.

"Ah Xuan, to be honest, your ancient costume doesn't look good. It looks so ordinary, even a little awkward. Unlike me, I look handsome no matter what I wear."

As he spoke, he absentmindedly smoothed his hair at the temples and made a head-flipping motion: "Actually, with my strength, this kind of small dungeon is a piece of cake. What I'm worried about now is that I'm too handsome. What if those fairies in the Azure Sky Cultivation World fall in love with me? Tell me, should I show mercy or not? Sigh, this is really a headache-inducing problem."

"..."

Duan Xuan was speechless.

It seems you didn't heed a word of my advice.

Of course, he wasn't really angry, because Duan Xuan knew that his friend was most likely joking.

Actually, not just the two of them, all the students around them were dressed in ancient costumes at this moment.

After all, this time they were going to infiltrate the secret realm of the enemy's side.

It's all about surprise attacks.

Of course, one's identity must be hidden as much as possible.

Therefore, the robes they wore were specially made by the Immortal Alliance, and they were not just any old costumes they picked out for cosplay!

In short... attention to detail and professionalism!

According to intelligence, nearly a hundred sects and families of all sizes from the Azure Sky cultivation world are participating in the Crimson Trial this time.

Their strengths are vastly different, even extremely disparate.

Among them, five major sects are in the first tier and have the largest number of cultivators entering: Lingyun Sect, Danxia Pavilion, Taixuan Sect, Fentian Palace, and Duanhun Valley.

Therefore, the robes prepared by the Immortal Alliance for everyone were mainly based on those of these five major sects, and even the identity tokens were forged in a very proper manner.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it's so realistic it could be mistaken for the real thing.

This is all thanks to the fact that the Immortal Alliance had done sufficient intelligence preparation work in advance.

"Letting everyone go on the adventure as disciples of the five major sects will be relatively safer, because cultivators from other sects will be more wary of them when facing them."

While the spatial nodes were still locked, the instructor gave everyone some reminders about things they needed to pay attention to.

"That's true, but isn't forging an identity token a bit too much? It might backfire and become a flaw instead."

Some students couldn't help but raise their doubts.

"Don't worry, although the identity token is fake, these low-level cultivators can't detect it. Even the serial number on it can be verified," Zheng Lei replied with a smile.

"That's amazing?" Everyone was quite surprised.

"Oh, right, instructor, there's one more question."

At this moment, someone raised their hand.

"explain."

Zheng Lei nodded to him.

"You once said that our adventure has a three-day time limit, and we will be automatically teleported back when the time is up. Are you sure there won't be any mistakes?"

Zheng Lei laughed: "I already addressed this issue last time. I don't know the specific principles, but after the three-day deadline, you will definitely be transported back by the mysterious force."

"No one can stop it."

"Of course, there's always a chance of something going wrong. What I can assure you is that the technology is now very mature, with an error rate of less than one in ten thousand."

"Of course, if something really goes wrong, you'll just have to fend for yourselves. But I'm sure none of you here are that unlucky."

Laughter reached their ears. The other party had already made a promise about this topic last time, and now that it was being brought up again before their departure, everyone believed that they wouldn't have such bad luck.

So the discussion ended there.

Time passed slowly, and we waited for about half an hour.

"This is so boring. How much longer do we have to wait? I wish we had met later so we could have more time to rest."

Zhou Ran couldn't help but complain, and even yawned after he finished speaking. However, whether it was a coincidence or not, as soon as he finished speaking, the originally clear sky suddenly turned gloomy.

The clouds overhead began to churn violently; they were leaden gray, giving off an eerie feeling.

At the same time, the instructor, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly sat up, raised his head, and released his divine sense towards the sky. The little guys in front of him naturally couldn't sense anything, but as a Golden Core Ancestor, he could see that in the near-Earth orbit outside the atmosphere, several star hub satellites of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance were now flashing with a dark blue light, and the surface patterns were also lighting up one by one.

Zheng Lei was overjoyed, for the spatial node leading to the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World had reacted.

He quickly reached out and patted his waist. In a flash of light, a magic artifact the size of a palm appeared before him.

No, this isn't a ritual implement, but rather a terminal for a satellite positioning system... the Ling Shu instrument!

Zheng Lei held it in his hand, entering the password while injecting magic power. The students who witnessed this were all drawn to it.

However, the instructor cursed, "Damn it, I have to enter a dynamic verification code again. I... I think I forgot to bring my phone."

"..."

Everyone was speechless, exchanging bewildered glances.

If I can't receive verification codes without my phone, then...

The opportunity to appear at the spatial node is extremely rare and fleeting. There is definitely no chance to go back and get the phone. Could it be that this mission is going to be aborted because of the instructor's ridiculous negligence?

Everyone was in a panic. Even Fairy Yaoguang could no longer maintain her composure and almost cursed in anger.

Why is Lao Zheng so unreliable!

However, before she could finish her sentence, Zheng Lei said, "Haha, just kidding. I was just trying to lighten the mood because everyone seemed a bit tense."
