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

This is something that needs to be taken very seriously!

The only good news is that these areas where mutations might occur are all very far from the safe house where Duan Xuan is currently located.

So for the time being, he doesn't need to worry too much about this issue, but he still needs to be vigilant.

After listening to the system's analysis, Duan Xuan touched his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Then, she suddenly remembered a very serious question she had overlooked: "Yun'er, how is Zhou Ran now?"

That's right, my best friend!

Duan Xuan was naturally concerned about the fate of the others who had come with him, but he knew that he did not have the ability to be a savior.

Therefore, Duan Xuan is willing to help others to the best of his ability, but there is a limit. He will never risk doing something that is too much of a burden.

In short, your own safety is the top priority.

But Zhou Ran was different; this guy was his closest friend.

Duan Xuan cherished this friendship very much, so no matter what, he could ignore everyone else, but he always kept Zhou Ran's safety in mind.

The good news is that Zhou Ran himself is quite strong; after all, he has a silly spiritual root, which is a type of mutated heavenly spiritual root.

Even though he has only just entered the late stage of Qi Refining, this guy's strength is far beyond that of other cultivators at the seventh level of Qi Refining.

That's true, but what worries Duan Xuan is Zhou Ran's personality.

This guy is usually unreliable. Although Duan Xuan had given him some instructions, he was still worried that he would be too reckless in the secret realm and accidentally kill himself.

"You mean Zhou Ran?"

Lingyun's voice carried a strange tone, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"What's wrong?" Duan Xuan asked, both curious and anxious. "Could he be in danger?"

"Hmph, see for yourself!" Lingyun sighed.

As soon as he finished speaking, the holographic projection in front of him lit up again. It was a little blurry at first, but it quickly became exceptionally clear.

In the scene, Zhou Ran is leaning against a pine tree, his Taoist robe loosely draped, giving him a carefree and unrestrained air. In his hand, he is playing with a crisp, green spiritual fruit, whispering to the female cultivator beside him.

The female cultivator was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with beautiful features. She had a jade pendant engraved with the words "Yunxi Sect" hanging from her waist. At this moment, she smiled and raised her fair hand to brush the grass off Zhou Ran's shoulder, occasionally exchanging a few words with him, showing their extreme intimacy.

"Ah, this..."

Duan Xuan stared at the projection in front of him, a question mark slowly floating above his head, completely dumbfounded.

Well... if I remember correctly, we've only been in this unknown interface for about a day, and according to Yun'er, the situation of our classmates isn't very optimistic.

Because the news had been leaked, some were being hunted down, and some had already perished. Even those who hadn't encountered danger were now exploring cautiously, trembling with fear, as if walking on thin ice...

But when it came to Zhou Ran, the style suddenly changed.

Everyone was afraid of you falling from grace, but you managed to hook up with a girl.

Although Yunxi Sect is not one of the five major immortal sects participating in this trial, it is still a sect with considerable strength in the second tier.

What's even more outrageous is that there were more than ten cultivators at the late stage of Qi Refining standing next to the two of them.

They were all elites sent by the Yunxi Sect, yet at this moment, not one of them dared to make a sound, and even their eyes were full of awe when they looked at Zhou Ran.

Duan Xuan couldn't help but become very curious.

"Yun'er, can you hear what they are saying?"

"no."

Lingyun shook her head: "The satellite is high in the sky, it can only take pictures, but to hear the other party's voice clearly, we would have to send nanobots to get closer and explore, but then..."

At this point, the image projected onto the girl surprisingly showed a rare expression of clenched teeth.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, I'm curious too."

Lingyun sighed, realizing her behavior hadn't been ladylike enough: "I sent a robot to sneak up and try to overhear what they had to say, but I was discovered..."

"Oh, are the cultivators of Yunxi Sect so capable and vigilant?" Duan Xuan frowned upon hearing this.

"No, that's not it."

Lingyun glared with her big, watery eyes, looking indignant: "How could a few mere Qi Refining stage brats detect my nanobots? It's your good brother who's wearing a nano-spiritual energy detector; even robots can be sensed by it."

"So this guy made his move and instantly killed my robot."

"..."

Duan Xuan was stunned.

For a moment, I didn't know how to respond. Should I say that the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple?

"That idiot!"

After a long while, he couldn't help but curse.

Knowing full well that the Azure Sky Immortal Cultivation World is in an unchanging agricultural era with no scientific or technological development, nanorobots are definitely allies!

To still make a move under these circumstances, I don't know if the word "stupid" should be used to describe this guy.

"So, thanks to this guy, I have no idea what they're talking about."

Lingyun sighed, and seeing Duan Xuan's frustrated and disappointed expression, she smiled slightly: "But it's okay, even if I don't know, I can deduce it."

"This reasoning... isn't it a bit too far-fetched?"

"Don't worry, the so-called reasoning is based on massive amounts of big data, as well as the analysis of Zhou Ran's personality and behavioral patterns collected in the past. Although I dare not say that I am 100% sure, the accuracy rate should reach 93.67%."

Duan Xuan fell silent.

This girl has calculated the accuracy to two decimal places. Although I don't know what the basis for her calculation is, it does sound very confident. This should be... reliable, right?

Well, it's not bad to listen to it; just take it as a reference.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Actually, I've been keeping an eye on Zhou Ran. After all, he's your friend, and I think you'll definitely ask about him later. So after the satellite network was set up, he and Jiang Yaoguang became the two most important monitoring targets."

Hearing this, Duan Xuan felt a warmth in his heart.

Yun'er did so much behind my back without saying a word.

That's really thoughtful.

"Oh, so what did he do after entering the secret realm, and how did he end up hanging out with these Yunxi Sect guys?"

Duan Xuan couldn't help but complain, "Although the instructors made us disguise ourselves as cultivators from the Azure Sky Realm, it's for a sneak attack. We can fool them for a short time, but once we've been in contact for a while, we'll definitely be exposed. Zhou Ran, that idiot, didn't he think about this? Why did those Yunxi Sect cultivators also seem completely unsuspecting?"

"Host, you are wrong. According to my deduction, Zhou Ran did not hide his whereabouts at all. From the beginning, he was open and honest with the other party, admitting that he was not a cultivator from the Azure Sky Realm, but the extraterrestrial demon they were talking about."
