Chapter 607: Chapter 240: Illusion Immortal Tower’s Distinguished Guest (Part 3)

After Ye Wuyue left Jade Beauty Peak, she flew to the Contemplation Platform on a distant immortal mountain. She sat on the edge of a cliff, her legs hanging in the air, swinging unconsciously, as the mountain wind blew through her short hair. After daydreaming for a long time, she muttered, "How could you possibly die? If you died...what would happen to Qingyao and Manman..."

She lay back, placing her hands over her face, "If you really died, who would be my role model then..."

Suddenly, she felt a shadow cast over her face.

She opened her eyes and through the gap between her fingers, she saw an aged face like tree bark.

She immediately stood up, "Greetings, Grand Elder!"

Ye Wuyue didn’t know much about Huai Jingming, only that he was the Grand Elder of the Heaven-Questioning Sect and returned just over twenty years ago. Before his return, the position of the Heaven-Questioning Sect’s Grand Elder had been vacant.

Huai Jingming smiled, "No need to be so formal, relax a bit."

"Is there something the Grand Elder needs from me?"

Huai Jingming laughed, "I heard you successfully transcended the tribulation. Not bad, among the Tribulation Immortals under the age of a hundred in the Heaven-Questioning Sect, several appear every thousand years, but a Tribulation Immortal under fifty is something that hasn’t happened in thousands of years."

Ye Wuyue said helplessly, "If I had known becoming a Tribulation Immortal was such a hassle, I wouldn’t have transcended the tribulation so early."

"Is it a hassle?" Huai Jingming asked seriously, "Did you encounter any problems in your cultivation?"

Ye Wuyue puffed her cheeks, "There’s no real issue with cultivation, it’s just that senior brothers and sisters always want to hang out with me. It’s kind of annoying..."

Huai Jingming was momentarily stunned, "So that’s what’s bothering you."

He could understand the thoughts of the disciples.

Ye Wuyue is exceptionally talented, and more importantly, she’s not a native of the Immortal Continent. Someone from another region, without any support, joining the Heaven-Questioning Sect and achieving the status of Tribulation Immortal under fifty, is significant. A person like that has a bright future, and getting close to her, maybe even becoming Dao partners, is undoubtedly worthwhile.

Moreover, she’s particularly charming and endearing.

It’s normal for her to be popular.

Huai Jingming smiled, "Then how about I give you an assignment, so you don’t stay in the Heaven-Questioning Sect and can relax a bit?"

Ye Wuyue asked suspiciously, "What does the Grand Elder want me to do?"

Huai Jingming handed her a scroll, "You’ll know after reading it."

After Ye Wuyue finished reading, she hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands,

"No, no, no, no! Such a significant task, I can’t do it!"

"It’s all about training, tasks you can’t do are exactly the ones you should try, otherwise you’ll never be able to do them," Huai Jingming said.

"But..." Ye Wuyue was troubled, "I’m not from the Immortal Continent, and I don’t know anything about the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty... I’m unfamiliar with everything, how can I handle such an important thing?"

"Go with confidence, no matter what happens, the Divine Phoenix Hall will always stand behind you," Huai Jingming said with a laugh.

"This..." Ye Wuyue hesitated for a long time, "Alright, I’ll do my best..."

Huai Jingming handed her a jade slip of energy transformations, "What you need to pay attention to and possible solutions to issues you might encounter are all in here. Look carefully, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, just come and ask me."

"When do I set out?"

"In three days."

"That soon!"

"There’s no time to lose."

Ye Wuyue took a deep breath, her eyes determined, "I will do my best."

Huai Jingming left with a smile.

Ye Wuyue sat alone by the cliff, absorbing and reflecting on the contents of the jade slip. The jade slip’s information could be considered an encyclopedia of the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty, containing detailed records, descriptions, and discussions from its political structure to its customs and culture. She herself was a princess of an Imperial Dynasty, which seemed very relatable. Although the Shangjing Immortal Dynasty was far stronger than the Great Li Dynasty, in this world, nothing is new, and what happens in an Imperial Dynasty cannot be avoided in an Immortal Dynasty either.

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed.

Returning under the moon.

On her way back to the dormitory, Ye Wuyue suddenly remembered a small detail she had overlooked before.

"The Grand Elder said that no matter what happens, the Divine Phoenix Hall stands behind me? Why not use the name of the Heaven-Questioning Sect and instead use the Divine Phoenix Hall?" She frowned and thought, "The Divine Phoenix Hall is the residence of the Sect Leader, Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable... Could it be that my going to Shangjing Immortal Dynasty to interface with the Demon Extermination Bureau was directed by the Divine Phoenix Celestial Venerable?"

Puzzled, but she did not immediately seek out Huai Jingming to inquire.

Three days later, with everything prepared, she embarked on her journey to Changning City.

...

Fan Wubing and the Anger Demon Lord stood, one tall and one short, outside the Illusion Immortal Tower.

"As expected of the world’s number one brothel, truly magnificent," Fan Wubing clicked his tongue in admiration.

Although called a building, the Illusion Immortal Tower was actually a large manor, much larger than Liu Qingqing’s manor. In the center of the manor was a grand building thirteen stories high, that was the real Illusion Immortal Tower. A crescent moon arched over the eaves of the Illusion Immortal Tower, lights shining brightly, a fragrance wafting, and rootless flowers hanging in the air, their white calyxes like celestial lotuses. The whole atmosphere was alluring at first glance, captivating the soul.

People came and went, both men and women.

There was even a designated "parking lot" for stopping various transportation artifacts and immortal beasts.

Judging by the grades of these transportation artifacts and immortal beasts, those who came to spend at the Illusion Immortal Tower were either wealthy or noble. It was a money trap that ordinary people would feel could empty their pockets in an instant just by glancing at it.

Fan Wubing said, "I’ve heard that the support behind the Illusion Immortal Tower is the Heaven and Earth Bank." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Anger Demon Lord asked, "How do you know?"

"I specifically investigated it."

The Anger Demon Lord immediately raised his fists, extended two little fingers, eyes full of disdain, "Men really can’t escape this, vulgar!"
