Through its translucent barrier, Su Yuan could see the celestial mist swirling inside.

If he were truly within, even Su Yuan himself would feel that this was a path to ascend to the Celestial Realm.

Upon this thought, Su Yuan suddenly realized that he had just observed the essence of the Celestial Law World, yet the legendary Immortal Realm was nowhere to be seen.

It seems the Immortal Realm indeed does not exist in reality, but rather in some special space that cannot be located, one can only see it through the orthodox ascension ritual within the Celestial Law World.

This is also his ultimate goal as the executor of the plan.

More than an hour later, small figures departed from the Cold Plum World, ascending along the ’Path of Ascension’.

Su Yuan speculated that these people were probably the same batch of Ascenders as Su Youlin, but the vast majority of them hailed from famous families with extremely complex interpersonal relationships, which is why they were not targets for the plan executor.

Moreover, having just one undercover in the same batch of Ascenders is already the limit; the more undercover agents, the easier it is to be exposed.

There seems to be some sort of special Acceleration Array within the Path of Ascension, allowing these Ascenders with only Foundation Establishment cultivation to ascend at speeds comparable to Golden Core cultivators.

Soon, the Ascenders were quite close to the Observation Law Ship.

Captain Zhang had Su Yuan look at the secretly taken target photos, so he could accurately identify the ambush target among the more than twenty Ascenders.

It was a young man with chestnut long hair, handsome features, a tall stature, wearing an ancient-style blood robe, with eyes exuding a cold and dead aura.

This person was the target whose identity Su Yuan was to replace, the only civilian genius of the younger generation in the Cold Plum World, the rising star of the Demon Dao, Su Youlin.

Regarding the modeling of Su Youlin, Su Yuan was very satisfied.

Only slightly inferior to his true self. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

But what worried Su Yuan was how to accurately ambush Su Youlin among more than twenty Ascenders, especially with a Golden Core Peak cultivator leading the group, without being discovered?

Before Su Yuan could ask, the Observation Law Ship suddenly moved.

This massive ship did not make any extra preparations, just crashed into the ’Path of Ascension’.

That semi-transparent pipe with barriers over a thousand meters thick showed no movement upon impact, yet the Observation Law Ship miraculously penetrated the pipe barrier, moving forward unimpeded.

The smoothness was akin to a water droplet merging perfectly with a cup of water.

In the blink of an eye, the tip of the Observation Law Ship pierced through the pipe barrier, entering the pipe interior.

At this moment, the Ascender squad happened to rise from below, extremely close to the Observation Law Ship.

However, all the Ascenders, including the Golden Core Peak leader, seemed oblivious to the massive Observation Law Ship, brushing past its hull.

This gave Su Yuan a clearer understanding of the Observation Law Ship’s camouflage and infiltration capabilities.

Federation technology, truly reliable.

Very soon, Su Youlin was about to pass by the Observation Law Ship.

Just then, Captain Zhang reached out towards the young man from across the ship.

The young man in the blood robe instantly appeared inside the ship, in front of Su Yuan.

Su Yuan didn’t bother to look at the other party, instead, he looked at where Su Youlin had just been, seeing a figure identical to the latter following the main team without any abnormalities.

"That’s a puppet I prepared in advance, which can stand in for a while. Once you’re ready, I can swap you with the puppet to catch up with the Ascension main team."

Captain Zhang quickly explained.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, not too surprised.

If a Nascent Soul True Monarch couldn’t even accomplish this much, that would be strange.

He retracted his gaze from the outside, focusing on the Demon Dao genius Su Youlin, who had maintained a flying posture but ended up falling on his bottom.

At this moment, the young man with chestnut hair and a blood robe obviously hadn’t figured out the situation, looking around in confusion.

However, having risen from a civilian to his current status, he was only confused for two or three seconds before his face changed dramatically, and he let out a somewhat horrified low roar:

"You... you’re Outer Heaven Demons!!!"

As a Cultivator under the Celestial Law World, the young man in the blood robe was, of course, speaking in the Celestial Law tongue, a language Su Yuan had learned and could understand perfectly, allowing him to communicate without barriers.

"Outer Heaven Demons?"

Su Yuan’s mouth twitched, wanting to refute, yet finding this description rather fitting.

"Su Yuan, there’s no need to waste words with him."

Captain Zhang spoke coldly:

"Time is tight. We don’t have the time to persuade him to surrender. Just use the Soul Searching Technique to extract all the information from his mind."

"After all, this person is a malicious demon who has harmed many Righteous Dao Cultivators; a rougher approach to soul searching is permissible."

"Though such a rough soul search may lead to some informational gaps, it’s the quickest method available."

With that, in the young man in the blood robe’s terrified gaze, Captain Zhang reached out towards his head.

But at this moment, Su Yuan spoke:

"Captain, there’s no need for that."

Captain Zhang was slightly taken aback and then frowned.

Could it be that Su Yuan felt sympathy for this demon and was being lenient?

But in the next second, Captain Zhang realized his thoughts were entirely mistaken, and incredibly so.

Su Yuan casually extended a hand towards the young man in the blood robe, and a crimson Decaying Profound Light surged forth, enveloping him instantly.

In just a moment, the person was completely eroded by the Decaying Profound Light, becoming a slave to Su Yuan, body and soul.

Next, Su Yuan took a silver-white metal rod from his Tribulation Moon Pearl, giving it a slight shake, revealing a banner made of holographic projections.

With a gentle shake of the banner, the soul of the young man in the blood robe uncontrollably floated out, swiftly being drawn into the banner.

Soon after, faint sounds of interrogation and the young man’s wails emanated from the banner.

In less than ten seconds, after being attended to by tens of thousands of Cyber Brothers, the young man in the blood robe disclosed all information cleanly, which was then organized and displayed on the holographic projection.

With a thought, Su Yuan enlarged the holographic projection for both him and Captain Zhang to review.

Captain Zhang watched this scene dumbfounded, feeling a strange sort of "Who am I? Where am I? What should I be doing?" confusion.

No... why is Su Yuan so proficient at this!

He looked down at the fleshly body of the young man in the blood robe, finding it had already collapsed into a Corruption Fungus under the effect of the Decaying Profound Light, which Su Yuan nonchalantly stored in the Tribulation Moon Pearl, leaving behind only his clothes, a few accessories, and a Storage Magical Treasure.

The body collapsed, the soul returned to the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, marking the end of the Demon Dao rising star named Su Youlin!

Captain Zhang was well aware that a high-achieving student from one of the Ten Great Immortal Sects would certainly be stronger than a Cultivator from the Barbaric World, but wasn’t Su Yuan just a freshman in college?

Instantly eliminating one of the Great World’s most promising Demon Dao rising stars, isn’t that a bit too disrespectful?

And this skilled technique, it’s just like he’s practiced with thousands upon thousands of people, more demonic than a demon...

No wonder Wu Luo True Monarch and the newly promoted True Monarch Zanyuan have such high hopes for this kid.

Captain Zhang had a lot he wanted to rant about, but considering the five-minute time limit, he could only suppress the various odd thoughts in his mind and focus on the information within the holographic projection.

This information was divided into three parts, with the first highlighting Su Youlin’s life and personality traits.

In short, he was a young man who, due to his civilian background, suffered bullying throughout his childhood, leading to certain psychological distortions and driving him to extremes.

Unlike most who walk an extreme path, this young man usually acted very calmly and composedly, only showing his madness in rare occasions.

Also, given his civilian status and Demon Dao identity, he was isolated by fellow Ascenders in the same batch.

After Ascension, he would have no personal connections to speak of.

The second part listed Su Youlin’s cultivation techniques, martial arts, Daoist techniques, divine techniques, and other skills.

Su Yuan glanced through them, finding no significant difficulties, figuring he could master them with some casual practice. Conveniently, this person was also a half-baked Sword Cultivator, so using a sword wouldn’t arouse suspicion.

The third part detailed this man’s objectives after Ascension, and served as the most crucial intelligence component.
