Everyone in the room instantly fell silent. Ever since the incident with Sophia, the transfer order that Wang Zhong had submitted had not been approved. Even when Wang Zhong wanted to see Sacred Teacher Leyson, the reply he received was that the Sacred Teacher was not in the base, as if he was deliberately avoiding him. The three girls and Wang Zhong had their own guesses. The higher-ups did not summon the most powerful Teacher, punish him, or even let him go. They definitely had other thoughts about Wang Zhong. Now, it had finally come.
Si Jiali and Lan Daier looked at Wang Zhong with some worry on their faces. An order that the higher-ups had deliberated for over a month, coupled with the strangeness of the soldiers retreating from the frontlines, would definitely not be easy no matter what they gave Wang Zhong.
"I'm just going to see Uncle Zhang. It's not like I'm going to climb a mountain of knives or dive into a sea of flames." Wang Zhong was rather calm. He laughed and stood up. "I'm going."
When he saw Uncle Zhang again, he was no longer just an illusory image. He had just rushed over from the Holy City, and he still had a smile on his face. His temperament and appearance did not seem to have changed much. He was still reserved and perfect, just like an ordinary person. However, his face was filled with worries. Compared to before, he was less free and leisurely like when he was fishing by the lake.
"I've seen the transfer order that you handed over." Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Is your little girlfriend doing well?"
"Her injuries have stabilized. However, she is no longer suitable for cultivation. " Wang Zhong smiled. "Uncle Zhang, let's not beat around the bush. I just want to accompany Si Jiali back to Earth. What do I have to do for the higher-ups to let her go?"
Uncle Zhang probably did not expect Wang Zhong to ask so directly. As a result, he did not even have to use his good excuse. He opened his mouth slightly and then laughed out loud. "Ha ha, you're still as straightforward as before."
"Alright, I'll be straightforward. There is an important mission that you must complete to end this Holy Battle."
Wang Zhong was rather flabbergasted. Even though the miraculous ceasefire between the humans and the Octopus people over the past month was somewhat puzzling, the vast majority of people felt that this was just a period of rest and reorganization. They had never thought that the Holy Battle would truly end. "What kind of mission?"
"I can't give you a detailed explanation right now." Uncle Zhang sighed silently. It was not that he did not want to explain, but that he could not. Based on the information he had and the evaluation from the Patriarch Society, Wang Zhong was also one of the suspects for the sudden heaven-defying rise. In fact, he was the most suspicious one.
"I can only tell you that all the people who have sacrificed themselves in this Holy War, regardless of whether they are humans or Mizobudapi people, did so for the opportunity to complete this mission … This mission is very important to both the Mizobudapi people and us humans. It is even related to the survival of our civilization." He looked into Wang Zhong's eyes and said word by word, "So, if you believe me and listen to my arrangements, I promise that as long as you come back alive, the Patriarch Society will not make things difficult for you. Then, you can accompany Scarlet back to Earth and live the life you want."
"Is it very dangerous?" Wang Zhong smiled.
Danger? Of course it would be dangerous. Regardless of whether Wang Zhong was the one chosen by the wings or not, he would still be in danger.
Uncle Zhang did not answer directly. He just said, "If you are sacrificed, I will definitely take care of all the family and friends you care about, regardless of whether they are in the Holy City or on Earth. If you can come back alive, you will definitely know the whole story and solve the doubts in your heart. "
"It's a little unclear." Wang Zhong smiled and said, "But it seems that I don't have a choice?"
Uncle Zhang smiled and nodded. There was no need to beat around the bush when talking to smart people. To be honest, even without that layer of relationship, he felt that he would definitely like this twenty-year-old child very much. He had a young face, but he had a different aura and vision.
"When do we start?" Wang Zhong did not hesitate.
"Come to me tomorrow morning. I will take you to the place you should go."
"Okay, see you tomorrow morning." Wang Zhong nodded rather straightforwardly. It was not that he did not want to ask more, but he understood Uncle Zhang. If he did not intend to say it, he would definitely not say it.
"Also, Uncle Zhang, you owe me an explanation." Wang Zhong smiled. "And I will definitely come back alive to hear it from you personally."
He did not say too much to Scarlet and the others, as he did not want them to worry. Something that could make Uncle Zhang so serious was definitely not easy to solve, but he had no room to avoid it.
A mysterious mission at an unknown location.
Wang Zhong's natural and calm performance was not because he believed in his own strength, nor was it because of his trust in Uncle Zhang, but because he had a calm Taoist Heart.
Pursuing the Great Path was Wang Zhong's nature. He yearned for adventure, and he was a restless person. Over the past month, he had lived a peaceful and joyful life with Scarlet, Lan Daier, and the others, but this had not changed. Instead, he had a higher feeling about this. This kind of waiting and this kind of life were also part of his Taoist Heart. Cultivation was definitely not just about increasing one's strength. The key to supporting a practitioner to continuously pursue the highest realm was their way of thinking.
If one was slightly more advanced, it could be called a Taoist Heart. He understood what he wanted, what he should do, how he should do it, and how he should face it. These things could not be solved by relying on strength. If he occasionally took a step back, perhaps he would really be able to see the world.
Although the sword was hidden in the scabbard, it did not mean that it was not sharp. It was just that the scabbard hid its brilliance. When this brilliance became older, as long as one constantly wiped it, the moment it was unsheathed, it would truly reveal its brilliance!
The warship flew across the sky and traveled thousands of kilometers before stopping at a place that Wang Zhong had never thought of.
Pilroni Sacred Mountain!
When the warship flew into the territory of the Octopus people, Wang Zhong did not feel too surprised. Rumors about the agreement between the higher-ups of the humans and the Octopus people had already spread all over the Skylink. Similar discussions were everywhere in the base, so it was not surprising.
But Pilroni Sacred Mountain? Wang Zhong had been here before. The Path to Heaven and the phoenix remains. There were only a few clear places. What kind of mission would be carried out here?
When he was on the warship, he could see that there were hundreds of Octopus people gathered at the entrance of the Sacred Mountain. They were all Saint-leveled experts. When the aura of hundreds of Saint-leveled experts gathered together, it was extremely terrifying. Even though the soldiers in charge of piloting the warship tried their best not to look sideways, they could still see that their bodies were trembling uncontrollably. If Sacred Teacher Uncle Zhang was not standing beside them, these ordinary Heroic Soul soldiers would have been so frightened by the aura below that they would have collapsed.
The warship slowly descended, and the hundreds of Saint-leveled Octopus people stared at them. Some of their eyes were filled with hatred. Perhaps their relatives and friends had died in this battle, but most of the Octopus Saints appeared calm and indifferent, as if they were not enemies at all. Of course, they could not be considered friends.
"Hello, Your Excellency Zhang Lei." A Warlock Saint dressed in a golden robe embroidered with a phoenix totem welcomed them. "Your Excellency the Ceremonial God and the other testers have been waiting for you for a long time."
Uncle Zhang nodded slightly, and the Warlock Saint respectfully said, "Please follow me."
The hundreds of Saint-leveled Octopus people immediately made way for them and looked at the two humans respectfully. They controlled their emotions very well. The more advanced a civilization was, the more straightforward they would be when they looked at problems. The easiest way to win their respect was with power.
Wang Zhong followed behind Uncle Zhang and could see that the Warlock Saint was holding a red thing that looked like a token in his hand. When they walked up the Sacred Mountain, a gentle aura spread from the token. Not only did it easily separate the sea of flames on the Pilroni Sacred Mountain, but even the white jade staircase that made Wang Zhong feel great pressure became much gentler. It was not that he felt that the staircase had become weaker because he had become stronger. With Wang Zhong's current sharp senses, he could still easily distinguish this difference. However, Uncle Zhang seemed to be completely unaware of it.
Wang Zhong felt as if this was not his first time here. Uncle Zhang's realm was not something he could guess. Basically, anyone below the level of a Great Teacher could be tracked. Simply put, even if one had never eaten pork before, they would still have seen pigs running. However, after the Tribulation Stage, one would become extremely mysterious. Without any inheritance or guidance, it was like a blind man trying to figure out an elephant. Thus, on Earth, there were Heavenly Souls, but not a single one had succeeded in the Tribulation Stage!
The three of them easily reached the top of the mountain, unlike the last time when Wang Zhong had to use his blood to test everywhere. The Warlock Saint operated the token, and in just two or three seconds, a pillar of light fell from the sky.
"Please." The Warlock Saint did not follow them, as if he was not qualified to enter. He only bowed respectfully.
It was a familiar passage and a familiar place. However, at that moment, five extremely powerful creatures were gathered under the two huge pillars that Simba once described as the front teeth of a phoenix.
Wang Zhong was very familiar with one of them as he often saw him on Skylink. He was Sacred Teacher Timo, the commander in charge of the southern battlefield. He did not appear in the form of an energy body and looked like a middle-aged man who was doing very well. Meanwhile, the other four were all Octopus people. They were either wearing robes or carrying divine swords on their backs. Every single one of their auras was so powerful that they were comparable to Uncle Zhang at his peak. One of them was an Octopus person who was wearing a robe and had long tentacles on his head that almost reached the ground. His aura was especially powerful. Even when he stood among these powerful god-leveled experts, he was like a crane in a flock of chickens, and people could pick him out at a glance.
These people were obviously very familiar with each other. At that moment, he smiled and nodded at Uncle Zhang as a form of greeting. Then, he looked at Wang Zhong. The light in his eyes seemed to be able to clearly see through Wang Zhong's internal organs. In the end, his gaze stopped at the Nebula Sword on Wang Zhong's back.
This was the treasure of the Octopus people's Sword Faction. When Wang Zhong saw that his gaze was fixed on him, he thought that he would ask for it. However, he did not expect that his gaze would only stop on the sword for a moment, as if he did not care much about it. He simply calmly said, "If you're ready, go in. The mission is very simple. Only one person can survive."
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the transmission array that Wang Zhong had used before appeared on the ground. With just a quick glance, he could tell that it was the transmission array that led to the phoenix's head, where the Octopus people's altar was located.
There was something strange about this matter. Could it be that they had gone through so much just for this? Wang Zhong smiled and did not hesitate at all. What would come would eventually come. He would understand once he entered.
He took a step forward, and the transmission array flashed. His entire body instantly disappeared.
When Wang Zhong disappeared, an Octopus person standing beside Dhomiguer coldly snorted. There was obvious dissatisfaction in his eyes as he looked at Uncle Zhang. "The examination grounds were built by the Mizobudapi civilization after hundreds of years. The sacrificial war was also carried out in the Mizobudapi World. How many homes of the Mizobudapi people have been destroyed? Furthermore, the 200,000 soldiers that you humans had promised to sacrifice were destroyed by you humans. Instead, you killed 13 of our Saint-leveled experts! "
The aura of this Octopus person was not weaker than Uncle Zhang's. In fact, it was slightly stronger! The divine sword on his back looked extremely similar to the Nebula Sword. It was the Sword Faction Leader, Dhomuta, who had survived the Heavenly Calamity.
In this sacrificial war, the Sword Faction was the backbone of the Octopus people's army. They had suffered heavy losses. Not only had a large number of Sword Faction disciples died, even his most beloved disciple, Heinrich, had died at the hands of that young human. They had also lost the precious treasure that the Sword Faction had inherited! They had even allowed that young human to obtain the true inheritance … Frankly speaking, Dhomuta was rather unhappy. Although he had to consider the overall situation and could not take revenge, he would definitely not be polite with his words.
Although the other party's aura was powerful, Uncle Zhang simply faced him calmly. "Don't talk about these useless things. Our goals are very clear. In the current situation, there are four of you. You have the advantage. Being long-winded is just a sign of weakness."
The expression of the Sword Faction Leader, Dhomuta, changed slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Ceremonial God Dhomiguer laugh and interrupt their argument.
"Alright, Dhomuta. Since the Angel of Misfortune has appeared, regardless of whether it is within the scope of our plan, we have finally achieved our goal. Let's not talk about our past grievances. Now, to both of us, passing the assessment is the only thing we should be concerned about. "
As he spoke, without waiting for Dhomuta to reply, he stretched out his hand and gently brushed the transmission array on the ground. It was as if he had activated some exquisite array. The entire transmission array flashed with light, and a three-dimensional projection of a field appeared in front of everyone.
There were mountains, rivers, forests, and trees in the field, but it was not very wide. It was only about six to seven square kilometers. However, it looked like the embryonic form of a massive bird-like creature that quietly floated in the air.
It was a fragment world that had been refined. However, it was different from an ordinary fragment world. It had been refined with the remains of a phoenix as its foundation!
When they looked at this place, even though it was just a projection, regardless of whether it was Dhomiguer, the other god-level experts from the Octopus people, Uncle Zhang, or Sacred Teacher Timo, they could all sense the vastness and vastness contained in this seemingly small space. This did not refer to its surface area, but its depth and level.
"The material density in the peripheral worlds is too low. It is simply impossible to refine such a qualified assessment space, even if we gather the minerals of the entire Mizobudapi World for hundreds of years!" Even the experienced and knowledgeable ceremonial god, Dhomiguer's eyes were filled with pride and gratification. "Only the remains left behind by the Phoenix God can barely reach this material standard. Furthermore, the Mizobudapi World has mined these resources and obtained them from many wars. We have accumulated wealth for almost a thousand years, and our emperor personally refined it. Only then were we able to complete this incomparable work hundreds of years ago! This is a place that is sufficient for a level-5 civilization to conduct an assessment. However, it's a pity that this is only a level-4 assessment … "
Yes, regardless of whether it was Wang Zhong, Simba, or Tatamu, they had all guessed wrongly. The altar that the Octopus people called a sacrifice to the heavens was not an altar at all. Instead, it had a single function that had been determined hundreds of years ago. Until now, it was a so-called assessment space that had only been used twice!
"Long live our emperor!" When they heard the emperor's name, the god-level Octopus people's eyes were filled with fervor as they softly prayed.
This was just a standard assessment space. It was just a space of six to seven square kilometers, but the consumption was already so huge. However, it was said that the foreign domain was also created by a civilization, but it was many times larger than this space. The level of the space was also much higher. Just thinking about it made people yearn for it.
Uncle Zhang and Sacred Teacher Timo were also deeply moved. In the past, the humans had an expert that far surpassed the level of their civilization. If the humans had continued to have his guidance over the past few hundred years, perhaps they would not have reached their current scale. They might even be able to create a space like this.
Everyone sighed in their hearts. On the projected image, six illusory figures appeared at different positions at the same time.
…
It was another wormhole transmission where one's body was disintegrated and reconstructed. However, it was different from the intense pain he had felt when he was a Heroic Soul. He had reached the Heavenly Soul Stage and experienced the burning of the Hellfire. His body was no longer an ordinary body, and his various functions were more natural and perfect. To Heavenly Soul experts, this kind of wormhole disintegration and transmission was no longer an unbearable pain. In fact, it felt as if their entire body had been massaged. After experiencing this disintegration and reconstruction, they unexpectedly felt relaxed.
Wang Zhong's body was enveloped in a pillar of light, and countless pieces of his body were continuously being reconstructed. His vision was restored, and he saw a space that was not too big.
It seemed to be only six to seven square kilometers, and one could see the end of it at a glance. The terrain did not seem to be any different from ordinary terrain. There were mountains, rivers, forests, and trees. However, if one took a closer look, they would realize that there was an extremely rich spiritual influence in the air. Even ordinary people could see the rich spiritual influence with their naked eyes. Thick, colorful clouds gathered in the air.
Before Wang Zhong could take a closer look, the reconstruction of his body was completed. The pillar of light that enveloped his body dissipated, and an extremely powerful gravitational force was transmitted from the ground. It was as if an extremely powerful giant was fiercely pulling his leg downwards!
