Immortals Step into Heaven

Zheng Yuan also roasted and ate the Fiery Armor Ox, which was delicious and full of spiritual energy, which had a slight effect on physical training. After eating the Fiery Armor Ox, Yu'er kept complaining to Zheng Yuan that lamb was not as delicious as the Fiery Armor Ox, and asked if he could switch to the Fiery Armor Ox in the future.

Zheng Yuan secretly thought that it was a bad idea. If he had known this earlier, he would not have roasted the Fiery Armored Bull. The Fiery Armored Bull was a demon beast, and there were not many of them in the entire Demon Beast Mountain Range. Zheng Yuan did not have the ability to get a large number of Fiery Armored Bulls for Yu'er.

Zheng Yuan was sitting in the Danhuo Pavilion, flipping through miscellaneous notes on demonic cultivators. Meanwhile, a large number of demonic cultivators had appeared near the Yunshan Market, along with cultivators from various sects. For the past year, Zheng Yuan hadn't set foot outside the Danqing Sect. According to Senior Brother Tang, disciples sent out by the sect often didn't return, which filled Zheng Yuan with worry.

Senior Brother Tang stated that this incident was related to the Yunlong Sect ruins. After news of the Yunlong Sect ruins spreading near the Yunshan Market, people from all walks of life flocked to the market to investigate. This news undoubtedly caused a great uproar, and many cultivators gathered there with various motives.

Some people are eager to explore the ruins for magic weapons and skills, while others want to uncover the mystery of the Yunlong Sect. However, with the influx of a large number of people, the situation has become increasingly complicated. The appearance of demonic cultivators has made this area full of danger and uncertainty. Murders and treasure-stealing are common. Zheng Yuan heard about this in Danhuo Pavilion and felt worried. He didn't know whether the Yunlong Sect ruins were real or fake.

In this ever-changing world, I don’t know what the future will hold.

The Danqing Sect was also affected by this incident. The fact that the Danqing Sect was too close to the Yunshan Market caused panic within the sect. Everyone was worried about the threat of the demon cultivators and the opportunities that the Yunlong Sect ruins might bring. The disciples discussed this privately. Some feared that their lives would be in danger, while others were extremely excited, thinking that they could obtain a heaven-defying opportunity from the Yunlong Sect ruins and soar to the sky.

Zheng Yuan had no desire to covet the treasures of the Yunlong Sect ruins. He believed that even the best Yunlong Sect treasures needed a life to obtain them. He knew that in this chaotic situation where demonic cultivators and various factions were competing, rashly getting involved would likely lead to great danger. Losing one's life was not out of the question.

Furthermore, when the Yunlong Sect was destroyed, most of the valuable items had already been looted. Even if there were any left, they would likely be defective or overlooked items. Furthermore, after so many years, the condition of any treasures that might still exist was unknown due to the erosion of time. Even if there were any treasures left, it would not be the place for these Qi Refining cultivators to fight for them.

Rather than taking risks for those invisible and intangible treasures, it is better to practice peacefully in Danqing Sect and wait for the situation to become clear. Then see if there is any chance to gain some benefits.

In this uneasy atmosphere, everyone's cultivation was affected to a certain extent. Even Uncle Xiao often went out. No one knew what he was doing outside, and Zheng Yuan didn't dare to ask too much!

Boom!Boom!Boom!

Three bell rings echoed around the Danqing Sect, reaching every corner. Zheng Yuan's face changed slightly when he heard the bells. He knew it was the Danqing Sect's signal to summon the outer disciples in the Qi Condensation Stage. Anyone within the sect was required to attend, or they would be expelled. Zheng Yuan felt a sense of unease, unsure of the purpose of this summons.

In this dangerous situation, any action taken by the sect could affect the fate of every Qi Refining Stage disciple. He put down the notes in his hand and walked quickly towards the Danqing Palace.

When Zheng Yuan arrived at the Danqing Palace Square, he saw hundreds of people already there.

He glanced around and saw quite a few familiar faces, including Senior Sister Zhang Xueyue, Senior Sister Liu Pingping, and Senior Brothers Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun. Zheng Yuan was somewhat surprised to see Senior Brother Xu; he hadn't expected him to escape from a Level 2 Lion Scorpion Beast. Duan Peng had surprisingly reached the seventh level of Qi training. Chu Xiong, whom he had met in the chores, was now at the eighth level, conversing with a cultivator at the thirteenth level.

Senior Brother Zhang from the Mission Pavilion was also there. However, Senior Brothers Tang and Li Zhe were not there. Zheng Yuan had met Senior Brother Tang some time ago, and he had said he was going to Yunshan Market to look for a foundation-building opportunity. It seemed he hadn't returned yet.

Zheng Yuan quickly stepped forward and started talking with Senior Sister Zhang Xueyue, Senior Sister Liu Pingping, Senior Brothers Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun, as well as Senior Brother Xu and others.

"Senior sisters and brothers, what is the purpose of today's gathering?" Zheng Yuan looked puzzled.

Zhang Xueyue frowned slightly and said softly, "We don't know either, but looking at the situation, I'm afraid something big has happened."

Senior Sister Liu Pingping also nodded and said, "Yes, it must be unusual for so many people to be gathered here."

Zhang Jiwei and Jiang Yiyun nodded after seeing Zheng Yuan. Although they were curious about how Zheng Yuan escaped,

But there were many people here and no one mentioned the matter of the Monster Mountain. Instead, they looked solemn, as if they were thinking about some possible situation.

When Senior Brother Xu saw Zheng Yuan, he was also slightly surprised. At that time, he saw Zheng Yuan being chased by a first-stage late-stage perfect lion scorpion beast. He didn't expect that he was still alive. He was really lucky. But Xu Wen still patted Zheng Yuan's shoulder without showing it, and said, Junior Brother Zheng, since you are here, you should make the best of it and see what arrangements the sect has.

Zheng Yuan admired Senior Brother Xu more and more. This guy is really shameless!

He almost got himself into trouble, but now it's as if nothing happened! He looked at Xu Wen and sneered in his heart, but they pretended that nothing was wrong, so Zheng Yuan didn't show it.

Zheng Yuan chuckled and said, Senior Brother Xu is right.

Conversation room

Before long, nearly a thousand outer disciples gathered in the square. They all had different expressions, some were confused, and they were all guessing the purpose of this call.

At this moment, several people emerged from Danqing Hall. They were all senior disciples in the Foundation Establishment stage, with the sect leader, Dan Daozi, in the middle. When Dan Daozi and his companions arrived at the square, everyone fell silent. Then, Dan Daozi slowly spoke, "My fellow disciples, the sect has a major decision to make."

From today on, despite the numerous missions in the Mission Hall, no one has accepted them. From now on, outer disciples must complete no fewer than five missions per year.

As soon as this order was issued, the outer disciples in the square looked at each other in bewilderment. Some expressed unease, while others fell into deep thought. The increased number of missions during this turbulent time undoubtedly increased the risk, but disobeying the Sect Master's orders also threatened expulsion from the sect, leaving everyone feeling torn.

Zheng Yuan's face couldn't help but become solemn. This was not good news for him. He had no way to do anything after the leader gave the order.

"Hmph!" Dan Daozi snorted coldly at everyone's reaction. He waited until the outer disciples quieted down.
