Exploring Immortality Cultivation-Chapter 1023 - 107: The Shadow of the Death Task

"Death mission... special rules..." On the Reincarnation Square, several people exchanged glances and gasped.

"Hiss, abnormal things surely have something strange..." Xiao Jizong frowned, "If this death mission is really meant to give us intelligence and tells us what will happen, doesn't this mean..."

"It will be very difficult." Lu Longcheng's face also looked a bit grim.

—The mission in the Silver-Winged Assassin instance world had already brought them to the brink of death, and this death mission could be even more so on top of that!

"But even if they give us time to prepare, what can we possibly prepare in just ten days?" Chen Taihuan frowned.

Wu Qi's expression changed, "This obviously forces us to exchange time for cultivation to become stronger!"

Fan Zhongxing slightly shook his head, "Focus on the intelligence, focus on the intelligence... shh!"

At this time, someone from the Reincarnation Realm spoke calmly, "At the end of the Near Ancient era, the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao and the Luofu Xuanqing Palace were at war. The Immortal Dao forces in the main world were damaged, and the Divine Dao was on the rise. Later, the Holy Infant Sect committed many injustices and became stagnant, and were thus eliminated by heterodox forces."

"The cyclical nature of the Heavenly Dao, the beginning of all causes and effects, originates from the war at the Imperial Court Immortal Palace ten thousand years ago."

"In the death mission, you must cooperate with other reincarnation teams to protect the disciples of Luofu Xuanqing Palace in their escape."

"In the next reincarnation mission, you will be sent back ten thousand years. You will enter one hour before the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao's offensive begins, and the mission time is one day and night. If the protection targets are not killed by Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao after a day and night, the mission is considered successful, and rewards are settled."

"For each Outer Disciple from Luofu Xuanqing Palace that escapes, a reward of two thousand reincarnation points is given; for each Inner Sect Disciple, five thousand reincarnation points; for each Direct Disciple, eight thousand reincarnation points; for each Nascent Soul Steward, ten thousand reincarnation points; for each Divine Separation Stage Elder, fifteen thousand reincarnation points; for each Unification Stage Supreme Elder, twenty thousand reincarnation points; if the Sect Leader Zhen Chan escapes, sixty thousand reincarnation points are rewarded."

"If no cultivators escape from Luofu Xuanqing Palace and no legacies flow out, all members will be erased."

"Sixty thousand..." Wu Qi's body shook, even beginning to fantasize about what sixty thousand reincarnation points could buy.

The first four volumes of the "Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Lord's Secret Sutra" are not particularly expensive, but each of the last three volumes is several times the price of the previous one, and the seventh volume requires a full fifty thousand reincarnation points. He desires reincarnation points more than anyone else.

Chen Taihuan was more rational, "Those reincarnation points are probably not something we can obtain..."

—If Luofu Xuanqing Palace is annihilated, all members will be erased... Hahaha, everyone knows that Luofu Xuanqing Palace was already uprooted long ago, and only a few mortals with no strong ties to the palace escaped?

—As long as this mission follows history, they're dead!

—In that battle, even Mahayana cultivators were involved, and these low-level cultivators who haven't even reached Nascent Soul are just offering themselves up no matter how many go! Under such conditions, they want to change history?

Meanwhile, Fan Zhongxing was already full of terror, "Hey hey hey... this... this isn't right, according to this intelligence, isn't our next reincarnation mission location..."

—Ten thousand years ago? Ten thousand years ago?

—This causality seems off!

—Are we really being sent back ten thousand years?

—Is this also a means of the Reincarnation Realm Master? Just what level of immortal is he?

"You're focusing on the wrong point! We're now facing a desperate mission!" Xiao Jizong was on the brink of losing it, "And it's actually a mission like this..."

He had no interest whatsoever in the principles or consequences of "returning to ten thousand years ago," he only knew that the situation he faced was very unusual.

Historically, even with Mahayana cultivators and Luofu Daoist Master Zhen Chan suppressing, Luofu Xuanqing Palace was completely annihilated, what can they possibly do?

"What I'm thinking is, maybe the situation isn't as hopeless as it seems?" Fan Zhongxing finally pulled his thoughts together, conducting an analysis, "As Junior Brother Chen mentioned, those sixty thousand reward points aren't meant for us. However, the Reincarnation Realm Master still listed them, which means... there are reincarnation teams capable of reaching that standard still exist?"

"Reincarnation teams..." Lu Longcheng pondered.

Fan Zhongxing decided to put everything on the table, "The last time we saw the 'Skull-snatching Taotie Treasure Appearance·Swallowing World War Dog True Method', I already suspected that Elder Guan Wuji from Wuji Sky Sect was also a Reincarnator. This suggests that there indeed exist higher-level cultivators in the Reincarnation World. The cooperation that the Reincarnation Realm Master mentioned might be referring to this."

After making this point, Fan Zhongxing continued eloquently.

"Moreover, compared to other tasks, we do have our advantages. Since this mission occurs within a predefined history, we can gather intelligence beforehand to prepare—Ten thousand years ago, the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao's destruction of Luofu Xuanqing Palace was a glorious battle worth celebrating, so there is still much information to be probed on Spirit Phoenix Island. Additionally, there are several people who personally experienced the events of ten thousand years ago who are still alive, and we can find ways to inquire from them..."

"In the end, we're different from the usual disciples of Luofu Xuanqing Palace. We can actually start by knocking out a few low-level disciples from Luofu Xuanqing Palace, and then just run off with them..."

Wu Qi was a bit worried: "Will running away like this get us slashed from afar by the Luofu Daoist Master's sword?"

"The previous Master of Heaven Splitting Dao is still there; the Luofu Daoist Master won't bother with small figures like us," Fan Zhongxing said.

Now, Fan Zhongxing has completely become the core of the Reincarnation Team.

Lu Longcheng spoke in a consultative tone: "So, how should we proceed with our exchanges?"

Fan Zhongxing pondered for a moment: "Aside from those who have decided on which cultivation technique to exchange for the introductory chapters of their desired technique, the rest should exchange nothing. Instead, exchange for time to cultivate, head to the Luoyan City instance world, undergo some training, and hone our coordination. That's the most important thing."

This is a method to maximize the team's strength in the shortest possible time.

The immense pressure from the death task made them disregard everything else.

...........................

After reciting today's lines, Zhen Chan sighed deeply.

"What's wrong? Are you unwilling to face such a scene, fearing it'll stir old emotions?" Wang Qi had a leaf between his lips, lazily lying amidst the branches and leaves of a Bodhi tree. This was an over-two-year-old tree, the kind that could easily become a spirit with a gentle enlightenment. Even without sunlight, it remained lush and verdant. Wang Qi staying here was well-hidden.

Wang Qi is currently at the Ruyi Daoist School, waiting for a certain opportunity due to some circumstances.

Zhen Chan shook his head: "Not really... I'm pondering something."

"What?"

"If Wu Qi truly defied the heavens and saved the majority of the Luofu Xuanqing Palace disciples, could you actually produce the complete text of the Mysterious Lord's Secret Scriptures?"

Wang Qi laughed heartily: "He'll find out what 'the author's malice' means."

For example, if they report to the instance NPC "Luofu Daoist Master Zhen Chan," there's a nine out of ten chance they'll be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for 'alarmism' or 'spreading rumors'—"The actors" would certainly cooperate with Wang Qi. Even if they were able to rally a large crowd to run away through "personal charm," a non-historical ambush would net them all.

Joking aside, Wang Qi hadn't fully compiled the Mysterious Lord's Secret Scriptures. This purely imaginary cultivation technique was just a concept; only through repeated experiments could Wang Qi determine the path of pure virtual form within the dataized cultivation method.

Before that, how could any Reincarnator collect enough Reincarnation Points for exchange?

Zhen Chan angrily said: "This is what makes me so uncomfortable! My mind is not at ease! Hey, in this nonexistent play, you won't let me forcefully counteract it. With the memories of hindsight, I could have beaten the Emperor's Extreme Split Sky Dao that destroyed my Luofu into submission back then!"

——Well, it seems that relying on transmigration to make up for life's regrets is a common human trait, even Mahayana Cultivators are not exempt.

Wang Qi shook his head: "Keep it close to history, understand? You need to get into it!"

"Ha, feel my ass... Forget it, I'll just help you finish this 'instance,' at least it could result in a Mirage Game and let future generations remember the history of my Luofu..." Zhen Chan sighed: "Considering the development of your Modern 'heterodox' methods, in a few years, you might not even bother to remember events from ten thousand years ago."

This instance of Wang Qi was also something long planned. He had entrusted Feng Luoyi to work on it early on. The Immortal Alliance had specially set it up, ostensibly under the name "Remembering History, Creating a Large Historical Mirage Game 'Luofu Xuanqing Palace'," based on Zhen Chan's memories, collaborating with historians and Mirage Game artists to create the new instance's aesthetics.

Zhen Chan added: "Isn't it too early for you to let them come into contact with this? They've only gone through two or three reincarnations and might not fully trust the notion that 'the Reincarnation Realm Master can reverse cause and effect and disrupt time and space'."

"Well, counting everything, we only have four months left, just enough for twelve cycles of reincarnation."

Wang Qi shrugged. The movements of the Holy Emperor Venerable had become increasingly mysterious. He suspected that the Holy Emperor Venerable was planning a major move. And the Qionghua Conference could be his opportunity to 'do something.'

Wang Qi had to cast out a certain "bait" before the Holy Emperor Venerable closed the net.

"There's still ten days left, within this time, the number of Reincarnators can further increase..." Wang Qi's gaze pierced through the dense foliage, looking deeper into Ruyi Daoist School.

There, lay an aging Divine Separation Stage Great Perfection Cultivator.

"Use four days to calculate and subdue a Divine Separation Stage Cultivator. Then, for the next four days, seek out another one, and in the final two days, return to Luochen Sword Palace for the next step..."

That was Wang Qi's plan.
