Chapter 542: The Return of the Traitor and the Gordian Knot
Your Excellency is leaving now?
Looking at the empty mountain top, the cultivators at the foot of the mountain were somewhat unable to react.
But soon, everyone rushed up the mountain to grab the resources there.
Because the escaping Return to the Void took away most of the spiritual objects, they haven't seen spiritual objects with such abundant spiritual energy for a long time!
Their bodies, magic powers, and souls are all craving for the nourishment of spiritual energy!
Although those ordinary people who had not yet entered the Dao did not understand, when they saw the 'Immortal Master' rushing over, they also followed him, crawling along.
For a moment, only some practitioners like Fu Ya who had a more thorough understanding of the situation remained unhurried.
The Venerable said to use as needed.
The methods of Venerable Fanxu are so brilliant that no matter how fast you run, you can only get what you deserve.
The first incarnation practitioner who rushed forward raised his hand and released a gourd-shaped magic weapon. The gourd grew in the wind and expanded to dozens of meters in the blink of an eye.
Call ~
The terrifying attraction turned into a visible distortion, attempting to take away the spiritual spring on the ridge.
Some of the more courageous ones also used their methods in various places on the mountain to take away various spiritual objects on the mountain.
This is still restrained, I only dare to take a part of it.
After all, the Venerable had just killed so many people in an instant, so they still had some concerns.
Otherwise, with the power of the God of Transformation to move mountains and fill the sea, it would be easy to move the entire mountain, let alone some spiritual creatures on the mountain.
However, the powerful attraction that caused the void to distort did not absorb even a trace of the spiritual spring.
The sky is full of clouds and mist.
A palm-sized jade bottle emerged from it and floated in front of the practitioner who was using the gourd instrument. There was a line of golden text on it.
'Use as you need, don't fight over it'
The cultivator was startled, but before he could react, another line of blood-red font appeared.
'Violators will die'
These three simple words instantly made the practitioner obedient, and he dared not think any more.
He took the jade bottle obediently, stopped the magic weapon in his hand and put it down.
Just now, so many people and monsters were crushed to death like insects by the Venerable. At this moment, no one dared to doubt the truth of this statement.
Then, the light condensed by various magical powers slowly dissipated, and one by one the practitioners fell from the sky to various places in the mountains.
Holding the spiritual object in his hand, he began to practice.
At this time, Fu Yai had just arrived at the foot of the mountain, and he bowed directly:
"Thank you, Your Excellency, for recreating the world and bestowing upon us spiritual objects."
This statement is sincere and there is no falsehood at all.
Although the practitioners around him also followed suit, only they themselves knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
After a salute, Fuya took the spiritual object hanging in front of him and glanced around.
However, he discovered that practitioners at all levels, as well as ordinary people who had not yet entered the Tao, had all obtained corresponding spiritual objects, which exactly matched their own levels.
"Your Excellency's methods are truly mysterious."
Admiring in his heart, Fu Ya withdrew his gaze.
Then he swung his sleeves, sat down cross-legged at the foot of the mountain, and began to practice.
……
……
On the other side, there is a huge chaos rift.
The shadows of the sky-lifting sword were separated in four directions, the sword energy twisted the chaos, and the spiritual threads intertwined into a net.
Qi Ling's figure appeared out of nowhere among the sword formation, holding in her hand a dark red giant hammer that was taller than her and looked like it was made of lava.
There were flashes of lightning in her bright eyes, and her gaze passed over the large net woven from spiritual silk and looked at the constantly surging chaotic aura.
Under normal circumstances, the chaotic aura that flows into the world is like a pure stream of water.
At this moment, "impurities" were mixed into the water flow, causing the flow of chaotic energy to no longer be as pure as before.
[The Return of the Traitor]——
This is the message that the world's will conveys to her.
"A practitioner who escaped from this world..."
Qi Ling was full of vigilance.
The Chaos Rift today was only suppressed by her using the secret realm maintenance artifacts, sword formations and the 'Soul Refining' module.
Once a cultivator takes action from the outside, coupled with the erosion of the chaotic aura, this spiritual silk net that is already stretched to the limit may really be broken.
She gathered her magical power, preparing to suppress those exiles before they could take action.
but……
Amidst the turbulent chaotic aura, several figures emerged, being knocked to the ground by the impact.
The highest was only at the Spirit Transformation Realm. They were wearing a kind of heavy spiritual armor, looked very bloated, and were moving forward with difficulty.
The magical power of returning to the void was divided into many strands and wrapped around their spiritual armor to prevent them from being swept into an unknown place.
Not to mention taking action, even maintaining one's balance is extremely difficult.
A lofty, indifferent, weak will descended, carrying boundless anger, urging Qi Ling to act quickly.
However, Qi Ling ignored them and just frowned as he watched those gods approaching little by little.
"No...harmful intentions. I am just an exile from the Diyuan Sect...looking for a place to stay."
The divine consciousness struggled to pass through the large spiritual silk net, transmitting intermittent information.
"..."
Qi Ling was silent for two seconds.
"Certainly!"
Following her words, the sword formation that was constantly refining chaotic energy suddenly stopped.
This action of hers instantly enraged the World Will, and it immediately took action to drive out these "traitors".
"Shut up!"
Qi Ling's cold voice made the World Will feel a little aggrieved, but it still retreated timidly.
Not until it completely retreated did Qi Ling begin to ask those gods wearing bulky spiritual armor.
……
……
"This choice is not bad."
Deep in Mission World 4, Xu Xing, who was watching everything, nodded slightly.
From a mission perspective, the best option is to release these exiled human practitioners back into the world.
After all, with the containment of magical instruments and the refining of sword formations, it is only a matter of time before the world recovers.
The second and third tasks are difficult.
Mission World 4 experienced a failure in world promotion, and most of the practitioners fled. The world has long been in ruins and people's livelihood is in decline.
Even if it can be gradually recovered later, it is absolutely impossible to create a prosperous era of cultivation within the mission deadline without the use of time and space auxiliary modules.
In this case, let the original practitioners return to the world.
Not only can it speed up the process of repairing the legal network, but it can also improve the overall cultivation level of the human race to a certain extent.
It can be said that there are 'a hundred benefits and no harm'.
The world's will is still very weak now, so it has not reacted.
Once it figures it out, it will take the initiative to welcome those practitioners returning from exile.
After all, it’s good for the world!
From another perspective, that is, from an emotional perspective...
What a bullshit feeling!
Not to mention that Qi Ling herself is not from this world, she is simply here to carry out a mission.
What's more, she values the human race as a whole more than the world itself.
Moreover, even ants try to survive, let alone the world which fails to advance and will collapse irreversibly without external intervention?
As long as they are not some vicious, evil, and perverse person...
Return to the world if you want to.
At worst, if you dare to do evil in the future, I will just beat you to death!
"Next, it depends on how far you can go."
Although Qi Ling's mission seemed to be smooth sailing, it only took time.
However, the completion standard for Task One is to completely heal the world rift so that there is no risk of collapse.
At this current progress...
It is simply impossible to complete it within twenty-one years!
Compared to Qi Ling...Xu Xing looked somewhere and shook his head slightly:
"The young man from Lingyinfang is just as expected."
That's right.
Chen Xuanqing, who thought he was the protagonist, had cut the Gordian knot and completed the first mission.
The three sons of the world who went to stop her were also beaten to death by her.
After the world rules were restored, spiritual energy gradually recovered.
However, the disappearance of the "abnormal" existence caused the original system to collapse directly, and rebel forces in various places rose up one after another.
It seems that a chaotic world is about to come.
However, before anyone had time to cause any chaos, Chen Xuanqing announced in a high-profile manner that he would pass on the secret of immortality to the world.
If you want to live forever, come and learn. If you don’t want to learn, just kill you.
In this way, under her absolute military deterrence and the temptation of immortality, a force called "Xuanqing Palace" was quickly established.
The troubled times ended before they even began.
But, like most forces.
The 'Xuanqing Palace' was pretty good in the beginning, as everyone came there for the 'method of immortality'.
But soon, because Chen Xuanqing chose to 'teach everyone', all kinds of people came together.
All kinds of intrigues and open and secret struggles emerged one after another, making Chen Xuanqing feel overwhelmed.
Fortunately, she had a very high level of cultivation, and she killed several troublemakers who had ulterior motives and temporarily cleared up the situation.
Chen Xuanqing saw that the time was almost right and didn't want to get involved in these troublesome matters, so she simply dropped a bunch of spiritual objects and disappeared.
After all, tasks two and three are about "guidance".
Of course she couldn't get involved too much!
Feeling that she had seen through the true meaning of the mission, she prepared to hide in the dark and only take action at the critical moment!
Normally, they would quietly give some spiritual objects, magical instruments and so on to those who had been broken off, abandoned, or oppressed.
'Don't despise the poor young man', that is the most classic template for the protagonist!
She herself doesn't have one, but she can try making a few!
All in all, this series of operations turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
The judging criteria for tasks two and three were indeed as she had imagined.
Now that she has chosen to move behind the scenes, the evaluation of the remaining two tasks will definitely be higher than her killing spree in the mission world.
Just seeing her style of doing things and her unusual way of thinking...
Xu Xing was a little curious about what would happen if she and Jiuyu met.
"We can arrange it later if we have the chance."
……
……
Taixuan Realm, Sword Sect.
Inner sect Danding Pavilion.
"Uncle Master, your purchase totals 2564.2 contribution points. I'll give you a zero. You only need to pay 2564 contribution points."
A woman in a cyan uniform was smiling.
She had just counted all of Chi Jiuyu's expenses this time.
"How can you round it off like that? Just two thousand five contribution points." Chi Jiuyu said eagerly.
"You're joking." She still smiled.
"Two thousand five hundred and sixty is fine."
"You're joking."
"Okay, okay, I'll pay."
Chi Jiuyu took out his identity jade token and handed it over.
The man was about to take it and was about to deduct the corresponding contribution points from her account.
However, Chi Jiuyu did not let go.
I tried a little harder, but still couldn't move it.
"Little Master Uncle?"
"Wait! I'll pay with this!" Chi Jiuyu took out a storage ring with his other hand and said seriously, "I almost forgot that this trip was reimbursed by my uncle!"
Junior uncle's uncle?
Isn't that the Sword Ancestor? !
Gulu!
The disciple in green uniform was a little nervous. He immediately let go of Chi Jiuyu's identity jade card and respectfully took the storage ring with both hands.
A trace of divine consciousness probed into it and saw the neatly stacked spirit stones.
"Please wait."
As he spoke, he also took out a storage ring and transferred the corresponding number of spirit stones from Chi Jiuyu's storage ring.
"Okay, keep it."
However, just as Chi Jiuyu was about to put away the storage ring, he found that the man was looking at him and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Blinked and said, "What's the matter? Are you going to apply more on me?"
"No, no!" The man waved his hands repeatedly, and finally spoke hesitantly, "Can you... exchange a few spirit stones for me? I can give you some more spirit coins."
"Clam?"
Chi Jiuyu was confused.
"I want to use the Sword Ancestor's Spirit Stone to make a few amulets."
“Uh…” Chi Jiuyu scratched his head.
The spiritual stones given by my uncle shouldn’t have this effect, right?
After all, I always encounter accidents when I go on missions...
"Okay, but let me make it clear first, the spirit stone given by the uncle should not have any special effect."
She is a good fisherman.
This kind of thing still needs to be made clear.
A few minutes later.
Chi Jiuyu, who exchanged ten spirit stones for the man at the original price, hummed an unknown tune.
After walking out of the small courtyard where he used to live, he came to the gate of the next courtyard.
"Brother! We have to go back now. You can take your time to recover!"
After saying this, without waiting for Cheng Ding in the yard to reply, he continued humming an unknown tune and walked out along the bluestone path.
From time to time, he would pick up a leaf from the roadside, or reach out and grab the end of a branch of a spiritual tree.
"Not bad."
Although it is a bit expensive, she is still quite satisfied with the experience after this period of time.
When she reaches a higher level, earns more money, and becomes a fisherman with financial freedom, she will definitely live here every day...
wrong!
This is Danding Pavilion.
It seems unlucky to say this.
Then...
I must change my own cave into this one!
emm...
By the way, my uncle-master and master wouldn't just summon me over again in a flash, right?
The moment this thought came into her mind.
Suddenly, everything blurred.
Ok? !
When my vision became clear again, what I saw was the road with flickering flames...
Not!
That’s right, this time it’s no longer the dojo that is so familiar to us.
Xu Xing was sitting on a white chair. The computer screen in front of him was still on, and the most popular fighting game was playing on the screen.
Uncle Master can also play games?
Having said that, Senior Brother Yan actually did as he said!
Chi Jiuyu's heart moved, and then he looked away calmly.
"Uncle Master, you suddenly came to me, is there something you want me to do?"
Xu Xing put down the handle and turned to look at her.
"I came here to talk to you about practicing the Hundred Arts."
Oh?
"Just right, there is still some time." (End of this chapter)
