The key that the Excavation Management had been searching for for three years was in the Western Continent!
Perhaps it was because there was no such thing as an impenetrable wall in this world, or perhaps it was because the news of the Lingjian School frequently searching for information about the Western Continent had spread like wildfire, or perhaps there were always people who were good at treasure hunting and the Eighth Elder of Heavenly Sword Hall who thought alike … In short, the news about the Western Continent had recently become a hot topic in the immortal cultivation world of Nine Regions.
The Western Continent referred to the west. After crossing the endless ocean to the west of the Nine Regions, the land at the junction of the sea and sky was the Western Continent. Needless to say, the first time the cultivators of Nine Regions arrived in the Western Continent was tens of thousands of years ago. At that time, the cultivators of Nine Regions had just come out from the Age of Desolation. When they went to the Western Continent, they thought that they could find a paradise. However, what they saw was a desolate and barren land. The surrounding spiritual energy was thin, and there was no law of the Great Dao of Nine Regions. For cultivators, it was simply a dead end. Disappointed, they withdrew. In addition to leaving the name of the Western Continent, they didn't find anything else.
After tens of thousands of years, a cargo ship that crossed the ocean arrived at the west coast of the Nine Regions. The people of Nine Regions were surprised to find that the Western Continent had unknowingly developed a vigorous civilization. With the increasingly close communication between the two continents, more and more Western Continent people entered Nine Regions, and people gradually gained a bit more understanding of the former barren land.
However, to this day, the Western Continent was still a mysterious place for most of the people of Nine Regions. In addition to knowing that there were different races and different civilizations, they still didn't know the specific situation. There were a lot of Western Continent people who entered Nine Regions, but most of them were merchants and mercenaries. Nine Regions people were even less willing to leave their homeland and go to the Western Continent. After all, although the Western Continent civilization was good, it was not as prosperous as the Nine Regions. Thousands of years ago, there were several enthusiastic Nine Regions cultivators, Master and Disciple, who went to the Western Continent and took the scriptures of the largest religion in the Western Continent back to Nine Regions. Not only did they develop the religion of the Western Continent in Nine Regions, they also brought the real seed of the Western Continent civilization. Their heroic story of going through countless hardships and dangers on their journey to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures was compiled into a book by later scholars. It was named 'Journey to the West'. Among the master and disciples, Eldest Martial Brother was the most beloved. That cultivator surnamed Sun was known for his fiery temperament and for being upright and outspoken. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. After they took the scriptures and practiced according to them, and finally established the sect, the Eldest Brother, who was the Great Elder of the sect, suffered from qi deviation and his primordial spirit was scattered. Later, although he was rescued by their Master, his temperament changed greatly. From an upright and plainspoken person, he became brainless. All day long, he said some sensational remarks, such as after believing in the Lord, he knew that the civilization of Nine Regions originally came from the Western Continent … and so on. His image plummeted, and the originally illustrious Saint of War also became a silly Saint. The sect that the Master and the disciples painstakingly established also became unknown as time went by. A good opportunity for the exchange between the East and the West Civilization died prematurely.
In short, today's Nine Regions people's understanding of the Western Continent was still limited. Their contact was limited to several countries that had a close business relationship with the Nine Regions. However, the number of countries and city-states in the Western Continent far exceeded that of the Nine Regions. Most of the regions were still mysterious. This time, they speculated that the key to the group of immortal tombs might be in the Western Continent. Thus, before they went to the Western Continent, they naturally had to do their homework, so that they could be prepared. For a time, books and records about the Western Continent became extremely popular in the Nine Regions. The merchants who often traveled between the Eastern and Western Continent also became very popular.
This craze lasted for several months. Finally, the Excavation Management, in the name of the committee, integrated a team of more than ten people and led a group of attendants and translators to the Western Continent to look for the key to the group of immortal tombs. At the same time, the big and small sects also received the news and organized their own expeditionary forces. After all, the key to the group of immortal tombs was of great importance, and the reward offered by the Excavation Management was particularly tempting.
Even the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League each sent their own private army to get the key first and fight for a bigger voice in the Excavation Management.
And in the Lingjian School, this private army mission fell on Wang Lu's head.
Of course, it was more accurate to say that this mission was fought for by Non-Phase Peak's self-recommendation.
At first, the Sect Leader Feng Yin didn't want Wang Lu to participate in the expedition to the Western Continent. First, these three years were the critical period for Wang Lu to consolidate his foundation and prepare for the King Pill. Second, the Western Continent was by no means a good place for cultivators. Because of the difference in the laws of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, ordinary cultivators simply could not display much of their ability in the Western Continent. If their cultivation base was not stable enough, there was even the danger of their magical power collapsing. Only by advancing to the King Pill and condensing the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in the Jade Mansion could one maintain one's strength in a place with different laws. Whether it was the Excavation Management's expeditionary army or the private army of the other sects, all of them were King Pill cultivators or above, and very few of them were Xudan Stage cultivators. Of course, with the solid foundation of Wang Lu's cultivation base, even if he only had Xudan Stage cultivation base, his Jade Mansion would not collapse after entering the Western Continent. At most, his strength would be limited. However, when his cultivation base was advancing by leaps and bounds, suddenly changing his cultivation environment was definitely not a good thing.
However, Wang Wu proposed that before Wang Lu's King Pill was completed, he should have more experience, which would be helpful for his further cultivation. After all, she was Wang Lu's Master, so she had the most authority on Wang Lu's cultivation. Feng Yin argued with her for a bit, but seeing that she seemed to be seriously proposing it instead of her usual loss of moral integrity, he no longer insisted and just let her be.

"Therefore, the important task of going to the Western Continent, looking for the key to the group of immortal tombs, opening the Dixian Treasure House, and enriching the small treasury of my Non-Phase Peak will be handed over to you!"
"The point is the last sentence, right … Rest assured, I already have a plan in mind, ninety percent sure."
Wang Wu was particularly surprised. "You're so confident? That's the mysterious Western Continent. This time, Sect Leader Senior Brother will lead the team, supported by various sects, and a gathering of heroes, but I don't dare to say that I have too much certainty, where did your confidence come from? "
Wang Lu said with a smile, "A gathering of heroes? I think it's just a motley crew. Uncle Feng Yin, as the Chairman of the Excavation Management, has become muddled. Although there are many strong people in the team, they have no tacit understanding with each other, instead, they have a lot of hatred toward each other. When they arrive at the Western Continent, that unfamiliar place, if they don't kill each other, it's already good enough. It's not realistic to expect them to cooperate with each other sincerely. Hehe, I heard that even Supreme Tian Yue has been added to the team, which really makes people doubt whether Uncle Sect Leader has the sincerity to look for the key. "
In this regard, his Master smiled but said nothing. "What about you? You're just a Xudan Stage cultivator, can you do better than them? Even if they only have a bit of skill, they're still far better than you. "
"Tsk, so what if I'm a Xudan Stage cultivator? As a Master, aren't you also in the King Pill Stage? Moreover, there are two of them, plus your precious emerald green bamboo sword, you're a real man. "
"Hey, hey, I'm the number one King Pill in Nine Regions, you better respect me a bit."
"In short, we're going to look for things, not to fight. Is it important to have a high or low cultivation base? We should use our brains to find things, not our fists … I don't think Sect Leader Martial Uncle's brain is very clear. He didn't take a good shortcut, but instead chose to find a bunch of mobs as his teammates and a bunch of ignorant people as his followers. "
"So, you have a shortcut?"
"Of course, I'll wait for the good news."
—
After ending the conversation with his Master, Wang Lu went straight to the Misty Peak Cafeteria.
When it came to a shortcut, wasn't it obvious that there was one? The biggest problem with this trip to the West was that they were unfamiliar with the people and the place. Therefore, the role of a translator and guide was actually more important than those Daoist Masters and Supreme with brute force. And when it came to a guide, there was a ready-made guide here.
Through these years of daily contact, Wang Lu was very clear that the Western Continent chef was by no means an ordinary person. Her speech and behavior all reflected the characteristics of the people in the Western Continent. Occasionally, when they talked in depth, it showed that she was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. Such a person must be a descendant of the Emperor in the Western Continent, which was far better than the so-called professional guide hired by the Excavation Management from the west coast of Nine Regions. Those guides had lived in the eastern part of the Western Continent for a period of time. Most of them were civilians, barely qualified to lead a tour. Wanting to find a treasure that had been lost for thousands of years in the Western Continent was simply whimsical.
Entering the cafeteria, Wang Lu didn't hurry to open his mouth. He just ordered a few side dishes, which made the chef beaming with joy, and then went to the main topic.
"Aya, Aya, have you ever heard of a treasure that can create the world in your Western Continent?"
Aya blinked her pair of green eyes and said with a smile, "Of course, there are a lot of them. As far as I know, there are more than a thousand kinds of legends about the creation of the world in the Western Continent. Among them, there are nearly a hundred that are supported by real objects …"
Wang Lu said, "It has to be a bit more reliable, the kind that can really split open the world. According to the standard here, it has to be an immortal treasure."
Aya was surprised. "The requirement is so high!? Creation of the world, and it's also an immortal treasure … Then there's only one. As far as I know, only the Golden King's Sword of Creation is a genuine creation of the world. You want to find it? "
"Yes, in fact, if possible, I hope you can go with me."
Aya was quite surprised by Wang Lu's invitation. "You want me to go with you? I'm afraid not. "
Wang Lu said with a smile, "Don't worry, this is a public travel, the budget is unlimited, and you will be satisfied!"
As soon as his voice fell, Aya's face turned serious. "I'm sorry, that's even worse."
"?" Wang Lu curiously looked at Aya.
Aya sternly said, "I oppose the private use of public funds."
"…"
Facing Aya's infinite righteous look, Wang Lu froze for a quarter of an hour, not knowing what to say.
"You, you said you oppose public funds …"
Aya nodded and said, "From a small family to a big country, everything should be done in accordance with the rules. As for public expenditure, every cent should be carefully and cautiously, and must not be arbitrarily misappropriated and squandered. This is my code of conduct. "
Wang Lu asked, "These words sound so righteous … All these years, hasn't your Misty Peak cafeteria ever hosted public banquets?"
Aya's tone was even more indifferent. "Never, so there's no need to talk about it anymore. The cafeteria is closed, please come back another day. "At the end of her words, her voice was cold, as if she wanted him to leave.
After rolling out of the Misty Peak cafeteria, Wang Lu secretly scolded himself for being muddle-headed.
With Aya's cooking skills, which elder would eat and drink at the Misty Peak cafeteria with public funds? Even if the public funds were public, one could not cherish them, but their stomach was their own, right?
Alas, no wonder Aya was angry, but in the end, this is really a chef who has broken away from vulgar tastes.
However, the more it is like this, the more I like you. Gee, as a qualified chef, how can you miss the responsibility of saving the world!?
