Jiang Amber pouted as she watched the boundary reach the teleportation array. Each Guardian would be sent to a separate checkpoint not far outside Tiandong City, while all the boundary challengers would be transported to a stronghold outside Tiandong City. Everyone set off together, but unlike the last time with Bu Luo, they had to choose different Guardians. Only one person could challenge the boundary at a time, with a ratio of one to twenty, making the battles incredibly brutal.
Just then, at the Universe Hall's teleportation point, as all the cultivators were being sent away, a familiar voice suddenly called out from behind Gu, pulling him back from the array. Jiang Amber and Chu Yunxiang were also teleported away together.
"What’s wrong? Is Mi Chong Laozu's condition worsening?"
Seeing someone blocking his path, Gu couldn't help but think of the recent care he had received from Elder Shen Shixing and Gu Yi at Universe Hall. He couldn't think of any other reason Shen Shixing would seek him out besides Mi Chong Laozu.
"The Hall Master asked me to request your assistance for Universe Hall."
"Oh?"
Gu Zhuiqi appeared indifferent on the surface, but inside he was clear-headed. Wasn't it just about eliminating a few more Ninth Underworld cultivators during his watch? It was likely that all the Guardians from various Major Sects had received similar news. Perhaps among those coming from the Ninth Underworld, there wouldn’t be any Guardians present. Tiandong City was part of the World of Mortals after all; ultimately, it was still up to the mortals. Even if Nine Nether Cultivators felt aggrieved, there was nothing they could do. Over the past millennium, in ten Sky East Tournaments, no one had ever claimed first place from Nine Netherman, which likely had something to do with that exclusion. As soon as Shen Shixing spoke, Gu understood his intentions.
"The Hall Master hopes I can try not to let any Ren He from Nine Nether Golden Cultivator slip through during my watch. If possible, I should also aim to eliminate them when they are Nascent Soul Cultivators. For every Dongyi person I capture, Universe Hall will reward me with a piece of their primordial spirit. I believe you understand its significance."
Although Qunqin had already guessed Shen Shixing's purpose for coming, he was surprised that Universe Hall would offer such a rare Law Grade medicine as a reward. A primordial spirit could even be useful for Transcendence Stage cultivators; that reward was indeed substantial.
"Understood," he replied. "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Shen Shixing slightly bowed his leg in acknowledgment. He knew that this young man before him concealed an extraordinary strength that others could not fathom. The profound Spell from A Distant Paradise was something even he, an Integration Stage cultivator, had never encountered before. How could a mere Jin Qi cultivator have learned such things? Outside the secret realm were countless demon tribes, yet he had never heard of anyone named Tree Ancestor. Who could cultivate such an outstanding disciple? While there were many self-taught Loose Cultivators in this world, very few could reach the pinnacle of success. Over hundreds of thousands of years, there hadn’t even been enough individuals to count on one hand who achieved such heights at Gu Na's age while mastering numerous powerful Spells; no one would believe it if he told them.
Yan Dong, under the alias Jiang Young Man, had made a promise. Whether the Universe Hall had fulfilled Gu Ren's expectations was uncertain; while the Universe Hall could not rely solely on Gu Yi, how many could truly stop the cultivators from the Ninth Underworld? Moreover, during that incident with the Transcendence Stage Guardian, it was undeniable that there was someone who could listen to advice. Shen Shixing felt a twinge of worry as he watched Gu disappear into the teleportation array, unable to shake off his thoughts.
Just last month, the Jade Void Sect and the Treasure Pavilion's Steward had gone to the academy to seek out Wen Shiren. Officially, they were investigating Wen Shiren's alleged connections with the Ninth Underworld, but in reality, they seemed intent on capturing him for immediate justice.
Bu Luo Ren had not killed him but instead brought back news that no one wanted to believe yet had to take seriously: at the border between the Extreme Northern Frozen Earth and the World of Mortals, a large number of Nine Nether Cultivators were amassing, preparing for an invasion. They were merely waiting for a signal or for the Sky East Tournament to conclude before launching a full-scale assault on the Ninth Underworld. The mastermind behind this plot was known as Ye Youluo, a figure reputed for being blind to people but keenly aware of fate.
Upon receiving this news, the Universe Hall dispatched Combined Stage Elders to verify the information in the north. Additionally, a team of Transcendent Practitioners was also sent to the northern border as a precaution.
Many elders and Stewards who learned of this news dismissed Yeqin's concerns, believing that Wen Shiren was merely attempting to divert attention from himself. Meanwhile, the Elders of Moon River Sect remained silent; Zhang Liuyuan's betrayal had dealt a severe blow to them. Externally, they were undergoing a series of purges, and their combat strength was less than half of what it once was. Even Coco, as a Super Sect, could easily flatten Moon River Sect at this moment.
The academy chose to remain silent as well, waiting for instructions from Universe Hall. They first needed to ensure that the Sky East Tournament was conducted properly; they could not allow talents like Yan Dong to face another tragedy like what happened in Eastern Extreme Secret Realm. Last time, there had been no one capable of turning the tide. Bu Luo Academy’s elders and Stewards were unaware that Gu dared to flaunt Tian Dong Da’s reputation at Cangtian East Duel. Even Ye Youluo’s meticulous plans were merely gambling; even if he lost, there would be no significant repercussions.
Ironically, it was Cheng Zong who should have stepped forward but instead maintained an unprecedented silence. Unaware of what transpired outside his Sect, Cheng Zong had always been active in the World of Mortals but remained extremely exclusive; other Sect cultivators were rarely allowed near Immortal Mountain where Cheng Zong resided. No one knew why Yan Dong was acting so unusually.
What drew everyone's attention was an alarming report about Hong Yulong providing information and joining forces with Wen Shiren to besiege a Robe-Wearing Monk—one blind man against another who at least possessed Transcendence Stage cultivation. Those who heard this news felt as if they were facing a formidable enemy; its seriousness was comparable to dealing with a Mahayana Practitioner.
Ye Xiezi and Ye Youluo were not just extraordinary beings; they were unique figures within the Ninth Underworld who had encountered two great masters. Many praises and titles were concentrated on one person, yet no one truly understood what kind of person Ye Youluo was or what kind of character he possessed that would lead him to act in such ways.
