At the Reincarnation Hall…
After the Fifth Immortal Moon had consumed the Golden Immortal Dao Fruit, her cultivation level rose steeply.
At present, she was standing before a mission gate, browsing through the information about a mission.
[Special Mission: Hunt the beneficiaries of the Lord God.
A planar world under Honggu Great Chiliocosm has been destroyed. The core that remained has been transported to the Infinite Realms Battlefield, and it has landed there safely. A batch of beneficiaries from the Lord God is heading toward it to exterminate the remaining traces of humanity on that planet.
Hint 1: The Jiuyuang Sect is the leader of the human race on that planet.
Hint 2: There are a total of 35 teams of beneficiaries from the Lord God. The strongest team is led by a Level 15 expert, and the weakest amongst them is a Level 14 expert.
Hint 3: There is a chance the beneficiaries from the Lord God will receive a side mission to hunt beneficiaries from the Reincarnation Hall.
Hint 4: The cultivation level limit to receive this mission is Level 14, and only 30 teams are allowed to receive this mission at the same time.
Hint 5: After killing one beneficiary from the Lord God, you will be able to obtain 1/5 of the opponent’s cultivation level and absorb it to improve yourself without any side effects.
Hint 6: You will be able to notice the Lord God’s beneficiaries once you’re within 100 miles of them. Remark: You may also be noticed by the other side.
Hint 7: Crisis and chance are directly proportional to each other.
Note: This mission, according to the estimation, has a mortality rate of at least 95%. Please make your decision wisely!]
The Fifth Immortal Moon accepted the mission without any hesitation. In the meantime, a large group of reincarnators had gathered around her. All of them had shocked expressions etched on their faces.
“What kind of mission is that?”
“Not only do we need to hunt down the beneficiaries from the Lord God, but can we also absorb their power after killing them without any side effects? This is unbelievable!”
“This is a good opportunity to improve our cultivation level!”
“If we can slay a few Golden Immortals, wouldn’t we be able to ascend into the Taiyi Realm right away?”
“Are you mad? There is a big gap between the Taiyi Realm and the Golden Immortal Realm. You’re now only at the initial stage of the Golden Immortal Realm, and even if you kill ten Golden Immortals, you won’t be anywhere near the Taiyi Realm. However, things would be different if you’re at the peak stage of the Golden Immortal Realm. There’s a probability that you can step into the Taiyi Realm after killing a Taiyi expert or a dozen of Golden Immortals.”
“It’s harder than reaching the sky to transform from the Golden Immortal Realm to the Taiyi Realm. But this is such a rare opportunity. There’s no way we let it pass like that. Besides, I thought that we needed to form the Taiyi Dao Fruit if we wanted to break into the Taiyi Realm from the Golden Immortal Realm? Can we skip that step by absorbing some cultivation level?”
“This is what makes the Reincarnation Hall so incredible and great. Look, we can even receive missions from the Lord God Space. Do you know what this means? It means the Reincarnation Hall is a lot stronger than the Lord God Space.”
“I agree. Are you going to accept the mission?”
“I’m not sure about it. What about you?”
“Nope, I’m not going to do it. My team has disbanded, and I’m all alone now. I must have a death wish if I accept this mission! Can’t you see the estimated mortality rate? It’s about 95%! If I go there, I’ll be dead in no time! Besides, some of the Lord God’s beneficiaries are Taiyi experts. If they know we’re there, they will certainly come and kill us. Also, I heard that they’re ruthless and heartless. They can easily kill someone on the same level as them, and from this point alone, we from the Reincarnation Hall are a lot weaker.”
“But this is a golden chance. It won’t appear on a daily basis. If you miss it, you’re going to regret it. After all, this is one of the rare chances where you can step into the Taiyi Realm.”
“Hah, if and only if I can come back alive. Sigh, this mission is for those teams that are well-prepared. I heard that some of them are strong enough to defeat a Taiyi, and one of them could even fight toe-to-toe with a Great Overarching. They’re truly terrifying.”
“Yeah, you have a point. I guess we should just do whatever we can.”
The Fifth Immortal Moon listened to their conversation and went away. She did not have to go through the mission gate after accepting the mission as she would be transported to the mission location as soon as the time was up.
On Chuyang Peak…
Jiang Ming withdrew his consciousness from the Fifth Immortal Moon.
“I had no idea that the Reincarnation Hall would issue a mission to hunt down the beneficiaries from the Lord God. Not only that, but the beneficiaries from the Lord God are also heading here to destroy us? Well, I guess they’re coming straight for me, so can I say that the Lord God is die-hard on killing me. But the strongest of them are only in the Taiyi Realm? They have seriously underestimated me.
“Is it true that the Reincarnation Hall is stronger than the Lord God since it knows the missions issued by the Lord God? Or are they related to each other?”
Countless thoughts flitted across Jiang Ming’s head at that moment. However, he couldn’t figure out why, but he felt the mission issued by the Reincarnation Hall was strange.
However, he was familiar with the experts in the Reincarnation Hall. They were pretty powerful, in his opinion. Some of them were strong enough to fight on par with a Taiyi expert or a Great Overarching expert.
“Alright then! I’ll be here waiting for you guys!” Jiang Ming lifted his head and looked into the sky.
He could sense that there was a surge of powerful force coming straight toward their planet through the void, and they were going to arrive here very soon.
He chuckled and shook his head.
‘Come. The more of them come, the better it is. Since we’re in a new place, of course, I have to make some new rules.’
After he finished preparing the dragon, he waved his hand and sent some into the Jiuyang Hall. At the same time, he also informed his master, all the First Seats, and the Sect Master.
The Jiuyang Hall.
When the Sect Master and the other arrived, what appeared before them was a table filled with scrumptious food.
“Linglong has slain a Golden Immortal-level dragon and made it into food through a special method,” Gu Hai said as he walked around the table, clasping his hand behind his back and stroking his beard with his hand. There was a big grin on his face as he continued. “If she hadn’t prepared it through a special way, we might not be able to handle a piece of dragon meat here.”
He picked up a piece of dragon meat with his chopsticks, and for a moment, a divine light burst forth, and a wonderful aroma filled everyone’s nostrils in the hall, causing some of them to swallow their saliva.
“Impressive!” Yan Yan shouted excitedly. “Who would’ve thought that we would have a chance to enjoy the dragon meat!? This is not an ordinary dragon, but a Golden Immortal dragon. It’s an Immortal Lord!”
It was only now they realized what kind of food was presented before them.
Looking at the food, the Sect Master couldn’t help but shiver in excitement.
“Golden Immortal!” Gu Hai chimed in, “It represents immortality, limitless possibilities, and continuity. It has different names across different realms. In the immortal realm, it’s known as the Immortal Lord. In the demon realm, it’s the Demon Lord. In a small chiliocosm, it’s the Giant. Even in the supreme Heavenly Realm, a Golden Immortal is someone who wields great power. Hahaha, today is surely my lucky day that I have a chance to enjoy such a great feast!”
“Senior Brother Gu!” Dongfang Lie swallowed a large gulp of saliva and looked at him. Then, he snorted. “There’s nothing good about you, but I have to admit that you really are good at taking in disciples.”
“Hehe!” Gu Hai grinned delightfully. “Ever since the establishment of the Jiuyang Sect, none of us have been able to become immortals, but now my disciple has shown her power in slaying an Immortal Lord. You know what? I may be really good at taking in disciples.”
“Stop that, will you?” Ying Yue delivered a glare at him before asking worriedly, “Will killing the Dragon Lord cause trouble?”
“It’s worth it to have trouble if you can eat Dragon Lord meat!” Dongfang Lie rubbed his hand and said, “What are you waiting for, guys? Let’s eat!”
The Sect Master looked at Gu Hai and asked, “Can they hold them back?”
“Don’t worry,” Gu Hai replied as he waved his hand. “The fact that they can send the food here means one thing—they don’t really care about it.”
At the same time, a red-haired elder rushed in and landed in the center of the hall. He pushed the Sect Master away and harrumphed. “How dare you people! How could you not inform me when there’s a feast going on? Do you all want me to punish you?”
“Great Monarch!” The Sect Master greeted him before replying with a smile, “We’re just too shocked and didn’t have the time to inform you. Since you’re here, you should be the first one to eat.”
“That’s more like it!” Huo Daoren picked up a piece of dragon meat with chopsticks. He brought it closer and squinted his eyes. He took a deep breath, and a gush of energy flowed through his body, causing his blood Qi to surge and his cultivation level to rise.
He exclaimed, “As expected of Dragon Lord meat. I just need to take a piece, and my cultivation level has already increased so much. Great, this is great! What are you guys waiting for? Hurry up and feast in! If you don’t want to eat, I’ll eat them all myself!”
“You will get a bloated stomach if you eat too much. Let me help you!” Dongfang Lie said as he picked up a piece of meat and popped it into his mouth.
The rest of the Elders and the Sect Master followed suit.
“It tastes good!”
“It’s delicious!”
“I can feel that my cultivation level is increasing!”
“I’ve already stepped into the Paradis Realm!” Hao Chen couldn’t help himself and said, “My body has become stronger, and I assume that I can step into the Imminent Immortal Realm after this meal. This is unbelievable!”
“Xiao Chen, that’s because you have a lot of potential,” Huo Daoren lamented. “You have the most talent and potential amongst your peers. In the past, the Jiuyang Sect couldn’t provide you with much and limited your growth, but you don’t have to worry about anything anymore! You can explore your potential completely.”
“I will!” Hao Chen nodded.
“Xiao Hai!” Huo Daoren looked at Gu Hai and continued. “After that incident, I thought you wouldn’t be able to cultivate anymore, but little did I expect that the two kids that you brought back would turn out to be such incredible beings. I have to say, you truly are lucky. You’re the chosen one!”
“Great Monarch, you’ve flattered me,” Gu Hai replied. “But I’m not the chosen one, those two kids are. I’m the father of the chosen ones!”
Pfft…
The Sect Master and the rest of the First Seats nearly vomited their food as all of them did not expect Gu Hai to be so shameless.
At Chuyang Peak…
After Jiang Ming finished his meal, he stood up and looked into the sky.
At the same time, the system’s voice rang out in his mind.
