“I’m going too!” The moment Pei Qianyi mentioned his little sister, he forgot all about complaining that he was hungry and trotted after Chu Ge into the inner room.

To her, Xu Shuhe’s current state seemed almost like madness, leaving her at a complete loss.

After announcing the names of the disciples who had completed the six-thousand-step trial, it was time to turn to Jiang Li, who had ranked first in the second round.

Tan Zhuo raised her head. Her eyes were brimming with watery light. The air here was wonderfully fresh, though the sky seemed somewhat hazy. Surely it was not about to rain?

“This... this...” How could the town mayor possibly answer such a question? He stammered for a long while, yet could not manage to utter a single complete sentence.

Chu Ge did not join in gathering the spirit herbs. Instead, a misty radiance gathered in her palm, lush and emerald-green. In an instant, several twin-stemmed jade blossoms transformed into droplets of pure essence. The essence was then repeatedly extracted and refined before finally merging with the other prepared essences and condensing into a pill.

The moment the machine’s head turned, Qin Bin’s gaze locked onto Night Crow, and the crosshairs automatically fixed themselves firmly on the target.

“Since you refuse to believe me...” Before he could finish, the male cultivator suddenly drew the long sword in his hand and casually slashed downward.

Yet here, some of the high-tech instruments were not merely on par with the technological standards of his previous life; in the field of biology, they even surpassed them.

The figure was calculated from three components: accumulated knowledge, practical experience, and actual achievements. But what proportion did each account for?

There was no other way. Your master had no choice but to send word to her master, the Snow Fairy, and the two of them then departed together.

The matter of Xisidis killing an academy instructor and rebelling against the Floating Island had already been announced by the Floating Island across the entire Southern Barbarian Continent. Demon Shadow was a veteran student of the academy. He had not attended during the same period as Xisidis, but he had still heard of her name and illustrious exploits.

As the minutes passed, the clear radiance in those violet eyes flickered without pause. Yet with every flicker, it grew dimmer—and more clouded.

It was Yan Guhong’s voice. But that single sentence from Yan Guhong caught his attention and distracted Hua Qingyi. Xie Nianyi seized the opportunity, retreating in a single move while flying along the wall. His body skimmed away flat against the surface, and by the time Hua Qingyi gave chase, Xie Nianyi had already vanished without a trace.

“Isn’t Patriarch Doutai Sword Qing’s master? By that reckoning, the rebellious abbot of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Way must also have lived several hundred years ago.” Li Tianyou blurted out.

The candlelight within the divine hall was limited in brightness and could illuminate only the lower half of the pair of stone pillars. As for their lofty upper halves, no one knew where they extended; they seemed to disappear into the boundless darkness of another dimension.

Thus, during Li Ziyuan’s detour off the main route, he discovered that, apart from the troops mobilized earlier, the enemy forces had clearly been reinforced again. Moreover, the reinforcements consisted almost entirely of Japanese troops. Judging from the Japanese and collaborationist forces encountered along the way, the Japanese contingent had increased by at least two companies.

Ami hesitated for a moment, then nodded. He believed that, to the Mad Priest, Ding Huo had no value beyond his strange egg-shaped armored beast. Since that was the case, there was no need to frame Ding Huo.

He had once been captured by the troops, only to be released for certain reasons. No one had expected the fellow to suffer the misfortune of being honorably captured once again. Li Ziyuan had some idea of the man’s current identity, however. After glancing around, he immediately asked what had happened.

Fortunately, Li Tianyou’s swordsmanship and physical constitution were both exceptionally powerful. Had it been an ordinary cultivator, his eyes would already have been ruined.

The municipal government was even planning to transform this place into an integrated industrial park combining employment, dining, and entertainment.

Just then, Shen Hongyi heard from Changsun Cai that Li Wenjing had won the lottery. Hoping to claim a share of the windfall, Shen Hongyi hurried over to curry favor with Li Wenjing, hoping to repair their relationship and take the opportunity to obtain some money.

And then there were the ordinary people. They possessed only the meager magic power barely sufficient to survive in the Cloud World—so little that it was not even enough to cultivate. Seen in that light, how fortunate must it be to reach the ninth-tier barrier, the realm revered among these people as the mark of an absolute powerhouse?

It was much like Nuan Nuan. She still did not understand this world, yet she had already endured unimaginable suffering.

I did not expect Yuan Ji to be of any help. Having abandoned all hope, I closed my eyes and only wished to fall to my death without suffering any unnecessary pain. Otherwise, it would truly hurt.

“What is the matter with this mission? Tell me about it!” The document did not specify how it had been completed, so Cao Peng was making a routine inquiry.

Tao Yingxuan seemed to have grown accustomed to being struck. She merely bit her lip and covered her face, forcing herself not to cry aloud. The side of her face, which had not yet gone down, swelled even further.

With the invisible market formed by the thousand-odd powers of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, did she really need to worry about overlapping markets?

That was right. Once one possessed an ark like this, one’s military strength could absolutely rise another level... It was said that, in ancient times, several quasi-emperors had relied on an ark to defeat a full-fledged emperor by sheer force.

“Since the vice dean puts it that way, I can only accept your command with gratitude.” Jun Wuxie curled his lips into a cold smile.

The two objects Chongjing threw out looked exactly like human beings. At first glance, they seemed to be puppets from the art of mechanisms, yet they were far more intricate. Their polished shells emitted a dim, cold gleam. Two gemstones were set where their eyes should have been, and they gently twisted their heads as though they could truly see.
