Ji Qiao stepped into the hall and saw Venerable Bai Yue standing with his hands behind his back, his posture as straight as a pine tree, his expression solemn and dignified, quietly waiting for his arrival.

Venerable Bai Yue's eyes were like torches, and he said straight to the point: "We need to have six million people plant the eggs of immortality to meet the demand."

When Ji Qiao heard this, her face was filled with astonishment, and she couldn't help but exclaimed loudly: "So many? This almost accounts for 30% of the population of my Great Zhou Dynasty!"

Venerable Bai Yue's expression remained unchanged, and he said in a firm and unquestionable tone: "Yes, there are indeed a large number. However, our vision cannot be limited to the Great Zhou Dynasty. We can send missionaries to other countries to preach and encourage them to plant the eggs of immortality as well, so as to expand our sphere of influence. In addition, we can also invite the monarchs of these countries to visit the Great Zhou and control them by planting eggs of immortality for them. In this way, our influence will surely be greatly expanded."

After hearing this, Ji Qiao felt a lot less pressure in her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is."

Venerable Bai Yue narrowed his eyes slightly and said sternly: "Although humans are of low status, their life force is extremely magical. If we can use this force, we will definitely be able to accomplish a great cause."

Ji Qiao nodded quickly and said, "No problem, I'll take care of it right away." After saying that, Ji Qiao turned around and hurriedly left the hall.

After Ji Qiao left, Jiang Shang, who had been standing silently by the side, finally couldn't help but said, "Master Ten, do we really have to sacrifice so many people?" His voice was filled with a hint of reluctance and deep confusion that was difficult to conceal.

Venerable Bai Yue's face darkened, and he said sternly: "Jiang Shang, don't have any pity! You have already completed the transformation through the method of rebirth, and are no longer an ordinary human. You should understand that in order to achieve our goal, some sacrifices are inevitable."

Jiang Shang bowed his head and replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Venerable Bai Yue sighed slightly and said in a slightly more gentle tone: "However, there are also extraordinary people among humans. Looking back at the battle in the Divine Realm, it is said that there were three humans who performed outstandingly. I once met them on Fantasy Island, and one of them was a world-famous human swordsman."

Jiang Shang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then he said, "Master, among these three people, is it true that one of them is wearing a black robe and is handsome, another one is blind in one eye, and the other one is the great swordsman Zi Yu?"

Venerable Bai Yue showed a look of surprise on his face. He stared at Jiang Shang and asked, "How did you know this?"

Jiang Shang stood in front of Venerable Bai Yue, his expression respectful, his tone filled with memories and emotion: "Master, back then, Ah Gou and I were working in the bloodstone mine of the God Clan. It was Wang Hun, the disciple of the great swordsman Zi Yu, who rescued us from the sea of ​​suffering. He is not only an outstanding martial artist, but also has a kind heart. I was fortunate to have him teach me the art of refining qi, which benefited me a lot. Afterwards, he instructed me to come to Fantasy Island, where I became your disciple and continued my studies."

Upon hearing this, Venerable Bai Yue's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, as if he was thinking about something. After a moment, he said in a deep voice: "Why didn't you mention this earlier?"

Jiang Shang lowered his head slightly, his voice firm, "Master Wang Hun once told me not to reveal this past. But now, I feel the time has come. If I continue to conceal it, it would be unfair to Master and disloyal to Huandao."

Venerable Bai Yue nodded gently, his expression softened a lot: "This Wang Hun is not only your savior, but also your Qi Refining Master. It is rare that you have such respect for your teacher."

Jiang Shang then asked, "Master, do you know the whereabouts of these three people? If I can see them again, I will definitely express my gratitude to them."

Venerable Bai Yue pondered for a moment, then said: "After the victory of the Underworld Clan, they moved to the vast land in the north. If they are still there, you do have a chance to meet them again. You can go to the Underworld Clan Kingdom, test their opinions, and see their attitude towards the missionary work of Fantasy Island."

Jiang Shang's eyes flashed with anticipation: "Master, why don't I go to the Netherworld in person in the future? On the one hand, I can understand their views on our missionary work, and on the other hand, I can invite them to Fengdu City to enhance the friendship between the two sides and reunite with old friends."

Venerable Bai Yue nodded slightly, with approval in his eyes: "If the Underworld Clan does not oppose us, and is even willing to support us, then our missionary journey will be much smoother. I'll leave this matter to you."

Jiang Shang clasped his fists and bowed: "Yes, Master. I will definitely live up to your trust."

Venerable Bai Yue waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and rest first. Get ready. When the time is right, we will set off for the Netherworld Kingdom."

Jiang Shang responded, turned around and left the palace, and hurried back to his resting place.

On the other side, late at night, Wang Hun stood on the terrace outside the room, his eyes deep, as if he was traversing the night sky, immersed in his own thoughts. The moonlight sprinkled on him, stretching his shadow very long, and there was silence all around, with only the occasional sound of insects breaking the tranquility.

At this moment, Wu Wenwuwen appeared beside him silently like a ghost, her voice soft and mysterious: "Wang Hun, what are you thinking about?"

Wang Hun came back to his senses from his deep thoughts, smiled slightly, and replied with a relaxed tone: "I was in a daze, there is nothing to think about."

There was a sly look in her indifferent eyes. She approached Wang Hun and whispered, "I may know the whereabouts of the third fragment of the God of Weapons' Blade."

Wang Hun's eyes immediately became sharp. He stared at her and asked anxiously, "Where?"

Bu Wen Wu Wen did not answer directly, but took Wang Hun's hand and said softly, "Come with me." She took Wang Hun into the room and carefully closed the door to ensure that they would not be disturbed by outsiders.

Wang Hun looked on indifferently, his eyes full of confusion and expectation.

She ignored him but didn't say much. She just gently tapped Wang Hun's forehead with her slender fingers. Her eyes were full of seriousness and mystery: "Wang Hun, don't resist. I will take you to the Gate of Guixu temporarily."

Wang Hun felt a strange force, but he did not resist and let it guide him. The souls of the two people seemed to be separated from their bodies, crossing the boundaries of space and time and coming to a mysterious place.

They stood in front of a huge door that towered into the sky, exuding an ancient and powerful aura. The door was engraved with unrecognizable runes and flickered with a faint light, as if it was the entrance to another world.

Wang Hun stared at the gate in front of him and exclaimed, "This is the gate to Guixu."

She nodded without asking, a hint of awe in her voice: "Yes, countless souls pass through this gate every day, they are either looking for a home or waiting to be reborn."

Wang Hun smiled slightly and said jokingly: "I only have one, not countless."

She rolled her eyes at him, but with a hint of smile in her eyes: "Look ahead, that huge figure."

Wang Hun followed the gaze of Wuwenwu and saw a tall figure looming on the other side of the gate. He was holding an axe and a shield, and exuded an indomitable fighting spirit, as if he was an ancient warrior guarding the secret of the Gate of Guixu.
