Grandpa, times have changed.

Xiao Ming opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

But in the end, he couldn't say anything and could only manage a bitter smile.

indeed.

As a disciple of a true immortal, Xiao Fan possessed an opportunity that many cultivators could only dream of.

He, on the other hand, seemed a bit too pretentious.

"Too……"

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Ming finally only had this dry sentence.

After all, he didn't even know what his younger brother was doing, so even if he wanted to care, he had no idea where to begin.

"Don't worry, brother, Master treats me very well," Xiao Fan said earnestly.

Aside from the slightly difficult trials arranged for him, his master was truly exceptional to his disciple.

Cultivation techniques and supernatural powers, cultivation resources, life-saving methods...

Looking at the entire world, or more precisely, the myriad realms of the Chaos Sea, there are few who can receive better treatment than him in this regard.

In the short time it took the two brothers to exchange a few words...

The body-tempering chamber behind Xiao Ming had been cleaned, and the tightly closed door opened amidst gushing streams of scorching air.

The internally flowing mist-like body-tempering liquid began to heat up rapidly under the heating of the array.

"Then... you should get plenty of rest."

His usual training schedule is at the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect, which is considered to be very diligent.

This is why, despite his average talent, his cultivation level has not lagged behind.

But Xiao Fan's talent...

His cultivation level not only surpassed his own in just a few years, but his supernatural abilities also became increasingly sharp and unpredictable.

He had fought with Xiao Fan, who was also a Nascent Soul cultivator, when he first broke through to the Nascent Soul stage.

However, he couldn't even catch a casual supernatural attack from him, and that was even with Xiao Fan holding back...

To have reached this point, the effort he has put in far exceeds his own imagination.

"Well, I will."

"..."

Looking at Xiao Fan's calm face, devoid of any superfluous emotion, Xiao Ming sighed inwardly.

He turned around, took a deep breath, unbuttoned his shirt and tossed it onto the shelf next to him, then strode into the training chamber.

Xiao Fan stood there, watching as the body-forging chamber door closed completely.

Only then did he push open the door and go outside, leaning against the wall to wait for Xiao Ming to finish his physical training.

However, just as he was clearing his mind and not thinking about anything, someone sent him a message.

Chen Yuanlin: "I've accepted a mission to go to the Dharma Realm Great Universe of the Yuanzhen Realm."

Chen Yuanlin: "It's quite difficult. I can't handle it alone. Are you coming or not?"

Is that the Great World that has reached the Dao level and follows the path of converging the external self?

Xiao Fan frowned.

He remembered it as an absurd world, where the gap between those who had reached the Dao and those who had not was unimaginably large.

Because the world is a rare 'multiverse', any being who has tamed their outer self and achieved the unique Dao of all realms can sit at the source of the world, overlooking all realms and arbitrarily altering everything within the universe.

As for cultivators below the Dao Integration level, no matter how strong they are, they can only struggle within the vast universe, and they have almost no secrets in the eyes of those below the Dao Integration level.

For this reason, ascension missions in the Yuanzhen Realm are very unstable, and their difficulty depends entirely on whether the Dao Integration Realm of that world intervenes.

Fan: "When will it start?"

Chen Yuanlin: "I plan to leave in three days. If you want to come, you can start the crossover process at the latest in a week."

Fan: "Okay."

Fan: "I'm at the Dragon Elephant Sky-Supporting Sect now. I'll come to the Profound Void Sea to find you once things are settled here."

Chen Yuanlin: "Okay"

Chen Yuanlin: "/thumbs up"

Immediately, Xiao Fan put away his phone and continued to lean against the wall, waiting for Xiao Ming.

Yuan Zhen Realm...

His master had mentioned this world to him before.

It seems that some of the Dao-merging members inside acted too recklessly, and several of the ascended envoys who went to carry out the mission were killed.

Although they were all saved by the protection program of the Immortal Network.

However, a few cultivators at the Immortal Sect Integration level couldn't stand by and watch, and submitted applications to go there.

According to Master, this period is very important, and both the Yuanzhen Realm and the Taiping Realm, another Tongxuan-level realm, are chosen transit worlds.

Therefore, in order to ensure stability, the Immortal Sect planned to send two Transcendent Realm cultivators to the Yuanzhen Realm at once, intending to solve the problem once and for all.

……

……

The Righteous Alliance.

Xuanxu Sea, the underwater city of the Supreme Council.

In a park near a parliament tower.

Chen Yuanlin leaned against a tree, holding an ice cream in one hand and a mobile phone in the other, seemingly hesitating about something.

"Never mind, adding him should be enough."

It is better to have nothing than to have something of poor quality.

This mission is quite challenging; if teammates aren't skilled enough, they'll actually hold us back.

Having made his decision, he exited the chat app and looked up at the statue of the Holy Emperor in the very center of the park square.

This ascension quest is quite difficult, and the total reward is an astonishing 600 ascension points, which is almost the reward for an ascension quest at the Void Return level!

Therefore, the task requirements were relaxed, allowing him to find two more people to team up with.

The rewards will be distributed by Xianwang based on individual contributions.

seriously.

These ascension quests that allow team formation are so easy to find that many people are willing to pay to join a team as soon as they are posted online.

After all, although the recent increase in Ascension Points is not as high as it was in the days immediately following the Immortal Sect Competition, it has still maintained an upward trend due to the deliberate hype by some people.

Open a software application and click on the price trend chart of the "Ascension Point".

It was discovered that the value of one Ascension Point had risen from five million Spirit Coins two months ago to seven million nine hundred and fifty thousand Spirit Coins today. And it continues to rise.

Judging by this rate, it might break the eight million mark today.

"This is absolutely insane..." Chen Yuanlin clicked his tongue in amazement.

Ascension points are quite valuable.

The problem is that the Tai Xuan Immortal Network does not have an open Ascension Point trading function, and some good items in the [Ascension Point Exchange Center] require certain permissions to exchange. No matter how you look at it, it's not worth eight million spirit coins, right?
In his opinion, even a million was too much!
After all, with multiple updates to the game, obtaining Ascension Points is no longer as difficult as it was during the initial closed beta.

The reward amount varies for each level of ascension mission.

Depending on the level of difficulty.

The total reward for the Ascension quest at the Returning to Emptiness level is generally between 1000 and 5000 Ascension Points.

However, so far there has never been a mission with a total reward of 5000 Ascension Points. The highest reward is 3700 points, which was completed by Gao Wuwang of Jishi Valley, who received 3697 points.

The total reward for ascension quests at the Nascent Soul level is generally between 200 and 999 Ascension Points.

The total reward for the Nascent Soul level ascension mission is 51-199 Ascension Points.

Once you reach the Golden Core stage, you'll have 1-50 Ascension Points.

As for Foundation Building...

There are basically no ascension missions at this level. Occasionally one or two may appear, but they are quickly snatched up.

The total reward ranges from 0.1 to 0.99 Ascension Points.

As for Qi Refining...

Instead of focusing on your cultivation, you're thinking about all this nonsense?
"I wonder when Master will take action to deal with this."

……

……

"Thank you very much, Sect Master."

Inside the Holy Emperor's Palace, in a side hall used for receiving guests.

To Yuan's right sat a stunningly beautiful figure in a red dress.

The wide red dress couldn't hide her exquisite curves; her skin was as white as snow, and her neck was long and slender.

Her lips were thin, her phoenix eyes were slightly upturned at the corners, and there was a golden flame-shaped mark between her eyebrows.

But what is most striking is his pair of eyes, one gold and one silver, so sharp that one dares not look directly at them, giving off a cold yet alluring feeling.

"Senior, you're welcome."

His voice contained two distinctly different timbres: a blend of lightness and depth, charm and coldness, resonating deeply.

This person was none other than the sect master of the Joyful Union Sect, a Celestial True Monarch at the Dao Integration level—

Shen Ning.

He handed Yuan a jade butterfly that shimmered with seven colors and was crystal clear.

"This is also our responsibility."

The most precious treasure of the Hehuan Sect: the Seven Emotions Butterfly.

With the power of this disc, combined with the Seven Emotions and Desires Refining Array of the Hehuan Sect, one can control the seven emotions and six desires of living beings within a certain range.

The seven major immortal sects have decided to set up an array together, and Yuan, a true cultivator, has activated the Seven Emotions Butterfly.

The entire Central Continent, and even the four star regions, will be affected!

Yuan played with the jade disc in his hand, thinking about the possible consequences after the formation's influence, and a complex expression appeared on his face.

"The elders are kind, but there is no need to pity them."

Shen Ning remained expressionless, her tone icy.

"Just like you said, good advice is hard to persuade a damned ghost."

“We have already warned them not to get involved in anything related to the Tai Xuan Immortal Network.”

"They deserve all the consequences that followed."

Upon hearing this, Yuan remained silent for a while, and finally sighed softly.

"I know."

The price of Ascension Points has reached such a high level not only because of the impact of the public announcement of the Tai Xuan Immortal Network, but also because of the behind-the-scenes manipulation by some people with ulterior motives.

Those people had a simple goal: to make a quick buck.

Taking a deep breath, Yuan closed his eyes and leaned back.

"This matter must not be leaked."

What they need to do next is to weaken the greed of the retail investors who are involved at the top, while amplifying the greed of those who are secretly pushing things along.

Finally, an announcement was released through the Immortal Network to completely stabilize the value of Ascension Points.

If there are still retail investors who are unwilling to leave the market after their greed has been diminished...

There's nothing we can do about it, it's just like that—

It's hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words.

“You can rest assured about that. Ancestor Hongzun has already taken note of this matter,” Shen Ning explained. “Before the great formation is activated, apart from the various ancestors, the seven of us, and you, no one else will know about it.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

"Does Senior Sword Ancestor also know about this?"

He hasn't been able to contact his fellow villagers for more than two months, almost three months.

"I don't know." Shen Ning remained expressionless. "How could I possibly know about the matters concerning the Sword Ancestor?"

He paused as he spoke, as if he had remembered something.

"However, the founder did tell me that this period is very important, and that we should prioritize stability in everything we do."

"Is this so..."

Looking at the seven-colored light flowing from the jade disc in his hand, Yuan suddenly remembered a rumor from a few days ago.

In the Eastern Star Region, there is an old demon who has reached the Dao realm. He has been using part of the energy of a star in a remote planetary system to maintain a simulated divine soul illusion, which has affected the flow of spiritual energy in the vicinity, causing fluctuations in the star system's protective array.

As a result, he was crushed to death by a giant hand that appeared out of nowhere.

It is said that the person who made the move was a true immortal.

He initially thought the story was exaggerated, but now that he thinks about it...

"Yes, that's true."

A strange voice echoed in his mind, sending a chill down Yuan's spine. (End of Chapter)
