The last mission was the riskiest.
This was because Xuanjing was a place where dragons and snakes mixed together. Moreover, the sects had an agreement with the Da Xuan Country's royal family that Xuanjing, as the capital of the country, was not under the jurisdiction of any other Sect. Furthermore, those above the Liquid Level were not allowed to take a step into the city.
In order to ensure that this agreement was carried out, each Sect could only leave one Supervising Disciple in Xuanjing to supervise each other and see if the other Sect was suspected of breaking the agreement.
However, it was also because of this that Xuanjing became a paradise for Loose Cultivators and foreign cultivators. There were even some Evil Cultivators and defectors who would change their identities and enter Xuanjing. Some even formed gangs and hid there.
As a result, the Supervising Disciples of the various Sects in Xuanjing naturally became a thorn in the eyes of certain people. They would often be attacked or assassinated. There were even cases where a few Supervising Disciples in the Sect died within a year.
This kind of matter naturally made the various sects furious. After teaming up to sweep through Xuanjing a few times and killing all of the evil cultivators and murderers, the supervising disciples no longer dared to openly appear in Xuanjing. Instead, they simply changed their identities and hid in Xuanjing.
As a result, the safety of the Supervising Disciples of the various Sects was greatly guaranteed.
However, even so, being a Supervising Disciple in Xuanjing was still an extremely dangerous position. It was normal for one to die every two years. Very few people were able to complete the entire four year term and leave unscathed.
Of course, for such a dangerous mission, the rewards given by the Sect were naturally shocking. Once the four year term was over, there would be a shocking reward of over ten thousand Contribution Points. This was enough to exchange for a portion of Pure Aura Qi.
However, the requirement for this position was that one had to be at least a Middle Spirit Apostle.
After all, the main duty of a Supervising Disciple was not to fight with others, but to monitor the movements in Xuanjing.
The reason why Liu Ming was so interested in this mission was because the location of the mission was the same place as the secret in his heart. Moreover, as a Supervising Disciple, not only could he move around freely, once he entered Xuanjing, even the Sect would not be able to find out what was going on.
Although Xuanjing was said to be a place where evil cultivators ran amok, it also had the most famous black market in the entire Da Xuan Country as well as some extremely secretive grey auctions. Treasures that even Spirit Masters would be tempted by would often appear there, and it was possible that the Pure Aura Qi that he needed would appear there.
As for the danger of being a supervising disciple, he was confident that as long as he changed his identity and was more careful, his identity would not be exposed.
Moreover, with his current strength, as long as it wasn't a Spirit Master, normal Spirit Apostles wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
On the other hand, the first and second missions were too restrictive, which was not conducive to his later plans.
Liu Ming's thoughts spun quickly. After weighing the pros and cons of these missions, he finally made a decision. He immediately walked toward the stone platform to accept this mission.
"What? Junior Bai wants to accept Xuanjing's Supervising Disciple four year mission!" The attendant behind the stone platform could be considered someone that Liu Ming knew, but after hearing this, his mouth couldn't help but widen and his face was full of shock.
"What, does this little brother not meet the requirements?" Liu Ming asked with a smile.
"That's not it. However, with Junior Bai's current status, there is no need to accept this kind of mission. Although Junior is strong, if you really want to go to Xuanjing, it will still be very dangerous." The middle aged attendant couldn't help but remind him.
"The risks of this mission are clearly stated on the mission board. No problem, I believe that I can still deal with these things. "Liu Ming naturally wouldn't go back on his words because of this, so he lightly insisted.
"If Junior Bai wants to accept this mission, then I, as your senior, will not stop you. However, this Supervising Disciple position is not normal. After accepting this mission, you will have to go see Master Lei of the Celestial Arcanum Sect. Master Lei is responsible for supervising the communication between the disciples of the Celestial Arcanum Sect. If he feels that you don't meet the requirements, then you will not be able to accept this mission. Also, information about the previous Supervising Disciple and the token that represents their identity can only be obtained from Master Lei. " Hearing this, the middle aged attendant took over Liu Ming's identity token and used a short stick to poke it a few times before speaking.
"Thank you senior for reminding me. I will go to Martial Uncle Lei's place now." Liu Ming took back his identity nameplate and thanked him in realization.
Thus, in the remaining time, he turned around and left the Duty Hall. He summoned a gray cloud and headed straight for Heaven's Arcanum Mountain.
After a short while, he was stopped by two patrolling disciples at the foot of Heaven's Arcanum Mountain.
"Junior Bai wants to see Master Lei?" These two disciples were not weak Spirit Apostles and had obviously participated in the Large Competition. They immediately recognized Liu Ming, but after hearing his request, they still revealed a troubled expression.
"What, is Master Lei not in the mountain right now?" Liu Ming naturally asked with confusion.
"That's not the case. It's just that Master Lei has not been in a good mood recently and doesn't easily see guests." One of the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciples hesitated before replying.
"Oh, if that's the case, then I'll have to trouble you two seniors to pass on the message. Just say that I have accepted the Supervising Disciple's mission and have come to see Master Lei." Hearing this, Liu Ming relaxed a bit and still spoke politely.
"Haha, if it was someone else, us two brothers would not dare to do such a thing and risk offending Master Lei. However, Junior Bai has done a great deed for the Celestial Arcanum Mountain. Perhaps Master Lei will let you off the hook." The two Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciples looked at each other and one of them replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Liu Ming naturally gave his thanks again.
Thus, one of the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciples flew to the top of the mountain while the other person curiously asked Liu Ming about what happened in the Secret Realm.
Naturally, Liu Ming told him half truths and half lies about what he saw in the Secret Realm, allowing the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciple to listen with great interest.
In the end, after the time it took to drink a cup of tea, the reporting disciple flew down and said to Liu Ming with a smile on his face, "Junior Bai's face is indeed big enough.
Once Master Lei heard that it was Junior Bai who wanted to see him, he quickly agreed to see him. "
Hearing this, Liu Ming was naturally overjoyed.
Thus, in the remaining time, he followed this Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciple and flew to the top of the mountain.
Compared to Nine Infants Mountain, Heaven's Arcanum Mountain's terrain was much steeper. Many places were simply steep cliffs and normal mountain paths were basically impassable. Some of the outer sect disciples could only hold onto long ropes in order to continue climbing up the mountain.
In the air, Liu Ming curiously sized up these outer sect disciples before looking towards the top of the mountain.
After a while, he and the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciple landed in front of a silver palace at the top of the mountain.
Directly above the palace's door, there was a huge signboard with the words "Heaven's Arcanum" written in gold.
Behind the silver palace, one could vaguely see many pavilions of different sizes.
"Master Lei is already inside, Junior Bai can go in by himself. I still need to continue patrolling the mountain, so I won't be accompanying you anymore. "Arriving here, the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciple turned around and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Senior, just do what you need to do." Liu Ming bowed and thanked the disciple again.
Following this, the Heaven's Arcanum Mountain disciple made another hand seal and flew down the mountain. Liu Ming tidied up his clothes and calmly walked through the door.
The entire palace was about five to six hundred feet wide, and in front of a chair at the end of the palace, there was a tall man wearing a black robe. His back was facing Liu Ming as he looked at a decorative silver sword hanging on the wall. His motionless body gave off the feeling of being as steady and dignified as a mountain.
"Disciple Bai Congtian pays his respects to Martial Uncle Lei." After Liu Ming walked to the front, he immediately bowed deeply and greeted.
However, the black-robed man only raised his head to look at the huge sword on the wall, as if he didn't hear anything.
Liu Ming secretly grinned, but he could only maintain his bowing posture and continue to maintain his respectful expression without moving.
Time slowly passed by, and the two of them remained in a motionless state like statues. The entire palace was also silent.
After the time it took to eat a meal, the black-robed man's shoulder moved slightly and he finally turned around. It was that "Martial Uncle Lei".
Spirit Master Lei expressionlessly sized up Liu Ming a few times before sitting down and saying indifferently, "Liu Ming,
"Not bad, as expected of a disciple who was able to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat. Your willpower is indeed not bad. However, if you only rely on willpower, you won't be able to walk out of the secret realm alive. "
"Martial Uncle Lei is right. This disciple's luck was not bad to be able to safely escape from the secret realm." Once Liu Ming heard that this "Martial Uncle Lei"'s tone was somewhat unfriendly, his heart skipped a beat, but he still maintained a respectful tone as he replied.
"Your luck was not bad! If that's the case, then my nephew Lei Zhen's luck was not good, and that's why he couldn't walk out of the secret realm alive. "Hearing this, Martial Uncle Lei's face suddenly darkened.
"I wouldn't dare, this disciple definitely wouldn't dare to think that way." Liu Ming sighed in his heart, but he still maintained a humble expression as he replied.
"Hmph, if we were only talking about strength, my nephew's lightning attribute Qi Method would definitely not lose to any of the top ten disciples. However, he was not among the five people who walked out of the secret realm alive. This makes me very curious. Just how much strength do you, the disciple with the highest evaluation, have?" Master Lei's eyes narrowed as he coldly spoke. "Hmph! That's right.
"Martial Uncle Lei means …" Liu Ming furrowed his brows and couldn't help but ask carefully.
"It's very simple. I've been in a bad mood these past few days and need to find someone to test my moves on. I don't care what you've come to me for this time, but if you can't take my next attack, then scram back to where you came from! "Martial Uncle Lei's face became stern as he shouted.
Hearing this, Liu Ming's expression changed greatly. After a while, he finally laughed bitterly and said, "Martial Uncle must be joking with Martial Nephew.
"Is Martial Uncle joking with Martial Nephew? With Martial Uncle's cultivation, how could Junior possibly receive it?"
