Heaven Continent was one of the many continents in the universe. There were hundreds of islands on Heaven Continent. A small portion of them were barren, and even birds were extinct. However, most of the islands were inhabited by living beings. Most of them were from the Origin Race, but there were also other races.
For example, the demon dragons that Chen Zong killed during the mission.
The target of this mission was a member of the Origin Race.
To be precise, it was a young member of the Origin Race. The mission was to escort this young member of the Origin Race out of Heaven Continent and to the neighboring Thunder Cloud Continent. Once they reached one of the islands on Thunder Cloud Continent, the mission would be considered completed. After that, Chen Zong could return to the Nine Heavens Imperial Court and receive his reward.
Although Thunder Cloud Continent and Heaven Continent were neighbors, the distance between them was not short. Even if a Third Realm cultivator traveled at full speed, it would still take two to three years.
Of course, Third Realm cultivators did not have the ability to fly in the air yet. Only Fourth Realm cultivators could do that. Hence, to cross the continent, they had to take a flying ship.
Through the realm gate, Chen Zong soon arrived at the destination of the mission — an island. He then followed the directions to the exact destination and came to a courtyard. There, he saw the target of his escort.
It was indeed a very young person. Chen Zong guessed that he was not very old.
"You are the Nine Heavens Imperial Court disciple who accepted the mission?" Beside the target of the mission was a similarly young woman. Her eyes were sharp, and her lips were thin. She was staring coldly at Chen Zong. She seemed to be scrutinizing him, and her tone was somewhat interrogative.
"Yes," Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
"If you are not from the Origin Race, what race are you from? What is your cultivation level? "the woman asked again.
"I am from the Human Race. My cultivation level is at the advanced level of the Divine Aspect Realm," Chen Zong replied unhurriedly.
The woman's expression changed drastically when she heard that. Her eyes became even colder with a hint of anger. She immediately shouted, "You are not from the Origin Race, and you are a human with mediocre talent at the advanced level of the Divine Aspect Realm. What right do you have to accept this mission? Do you have the ability to complete this mission?"
"We'll know when the time comes." Chen Zong was not angry at all. His tone was still neither fast nor slow, and his expression did not change.
"You …" Chen Zong's lukewarm attitude seemed to have infuriated the woman. A strong and cold aura erupted from her body like a surging tide.
"Alright, Tenth Month. Since this Sir can accept missions, it means that he is ranked in the Heavenly Generals Roll of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court." The target of the mission, the handsome young man from the Origin Race, smiled and stopped the woman who was about to explode. He then looked at Chen Zong and said, "Sir, since you've accepted this mission, I'll leave it to you."
"Okay." Chen Zong's response was straightforward and simple.
Of course, this was also Chen Zong's style. Since he had accepted the task, he had to do it well and complete it in order to receive the reward.
Receiving the reward was one thing, but the most important thing was that Chen Zong would not allow any carelessness to lead to the failure of the mission.
"Then please choose a room to rest in. We'll set off three days later when everyone has arrived." The young man from the Origin Race smiled and said, "Oh yes, I'm Na Zhen."
"Okay." Chen Zong nodded and casually found a room in the courtyard. He rested and meditated at the same time.
…
"Young Master, even if this person is ranked in the Heavenly Generals Roll, his ranking is definitely very low. It's highly likely that he is ranked after the 900th rank." After Chen Zong left, Na Zhen and Tenth Month returned to the room. Tenth Month frowned and said impatiently, "Moreover, he's a human. A human without any special talent. If he encounters any danger, he probably won't be of much use."
"The Nine Heavens Imperial Court's selection of disciples is very strict. The Heavenly Generals Roll is even more valuable. Even if he's a human, being able to be ranked in the Heavenly Generals Roll is enough to show that his strength is not ordinary." Na Zhen said seriously, "Also, the reward for this mission has already been given to the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. The mission has also been accepted. If we chase this person away, it's the same as giving up on this mission and we won't be able to get back the reward. Therefore, since he has accepted this mission, we'll let him do his part."
Hearing Na Zhen's words, although Tenth Month was still a little annoyed, he still felt a little better. Soon after, he revealed a cold smile and said, "That human probably thinks that Young Master needs to rely on his strength. Fortunately, Young Master has already prepared for both sides."
Na Zhen smiled and did not say anything else.
Chen Zong of course knew that the target of this mission was Na Zhen. Although he spoke very politely and courteously, in his heart, he did not think highly of himself.
After all, the combination of a human and a high-level Divine Aspect Realm cultivator would not give others the feeling that they were strong.
Especially in the universe, the Origin Race was a much stronger race than the human race. It was normal for them to look down on the mediocre human race.
That was a sense of superiority, a sense of superiority that was rooted in their bones.
It was like an aristocrat looking down on a commoner. It was a very normal feeling.
Of course, if the other party did not think highly of him, Chen Zong did not care. He only needed to complete the mission well. At the same time, he could also train himself well. The most important thing was to find the opportunity to break through and master the true Great Dao Sword Technique. The secondary thing was to complete the mission and get the reward.
For three days in a row, Chen Zong did not appear. Instead, he stayed in his room and cultivated quietly.
Because the mission had not officially begun.
After three days, Chen Zong walked out of his room.
Other than Chen Zong, there was the escort target, Na Zhen, and Na Zhen's personal bodyguard, Tenth Month. Both of their cultivations were in the Divine Aspect Realm. Moreover, they had reached the peak of the Divine Aspect Realm. In addition to their identities as Origin Race members, their talents were not bad and their strength was not weak.
Of course, they were not as strong as Chen Zong. Even though they had not fought, Chen Zong knew that the two of them were not his opponents. They were not a threat to him at all.
The Divine Sense had been born when he had broken through to the Spirit Ascension Layer in the Void. In the Void, his senses had been sharper and clearer. However, after arriving in the universe, although it still existed, it was not as clear. He could only make a rough judgement.
Apart from the three of them, there were thirty other people who had come with them. They seemed to be a team.
That's right, they were a team called the Sky Beacon Team. They were mainly a gathering of rogue cultivators. In the universe, rogue cultivators were not synonymous with weak. Because the universe was vast and there were many opportunities, many rogue cultivators dared to fight and obtain good opportunities, greatly increasing their strength. They were very impressive.
The Sky Beacon Team was a group of independent cultivators. They cultivated together and traveled together. However, what they did most of the time was to escort people. They were specially hired to escort people across the Void and protect their targets.
In the Sky Continent, the Sky Beacon Team was one of the more famous teams. It took a lot of effort to hire them to escort people.
"Captain, this is a true disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court. He is ranked on the Heavenly General List and is quite strong. He will escort me with you," said Na Zhen to the members of the Sky Beacon Team.
The captain of the Sky Beacon Team frowned and looked displeased. Just as he was about to say something, Na Zhen added, "Of course, we will pay you the full amount we promised you."
The captain of the Sky Beacon Team did not say anything after hearing Na Zhen's words. He looked at Chen Zong and said, "The Sky Beacon Team will be in charge of this escort mission. Don't interfere."
Chen Zong nodded indifferently.
Seeing Chen Zong like this, the Sky Beacon Squad was a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything. The Sky Beacon Squad had a pretty good reputation in the escort world, and they had completed many escort missions. Their evaluations were quite good, and they had long had their own set of rules. They didn't allow outsiders to interfere because it would only interfere with their arrangements and so on.
They hoped that Chen Zong knew what was good for him. Otherwise, even if he was a true disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, they would not be polite.
Chen Zong could sense that the thirty members of the Sky Beacon Team were all at the Third Level of the Godly Phase Realm. Six of them were at the peak of the Godly Phase Realm, while the rest were at the high and middle levels of the Godly Phase Realm. Each of them had an extraordinary aura. It was obvious that they had been through many life-or-death battles. They were truly elites who had been honed by life and death situations.
The difference between those who had been honed by life and death situations was obvious.
The captain of the Sky Beacon Team even gave Chen Zong a slight sense of threat, which meant that he was not weak. He might even be ranked on the Heavenly General Roll. Of course, he was not a disciple of the Nine Heavens Imperial Court, so he could not be ranked on the Heavenly General Roll, but his strength was undeniable.
"Young Master Na Zhen, shall we set off now?" asked the captain of the Sky Beacon Team.
"Alright, thank you," said Na Zhen with a smile.
The members of the Sky Beacon Squad immediately spread out. Although they appeared to be scattered, everyone's positions were carefully chosen and could change accordingly. If they were attacked, they would be able to react quickly and provide reinforcements everywhere. They also protected Na Zhen securely.
Naturally, October and Chen Zong were also in the center of their protection.
From Chen Zong's point of view, he had to admit that the Sky Beacon Squad was very professional.
Double insurance!
Na Zhen really had double insurance. This was good too. It would be best if they could complete their escort mission safely.
The Sky Beacon Team had their own space-crossing airship. This time, they were going to cross the void between Sky Continent and Thunder Continent, so it came in handy.
The space-crossing airship set off and flew towards the outside. Its speed slowly increased and eventually reached its limit. However, this space-crossing airship couldn't travel through the void like the space-escaping airships. It could only rely on its speed to continue its journey.
Chen Zong was arranged a room in the space-crossing airship. He did not come out. He stayed in the room and focused on cultivating.
His cultivation techniques, comprehension of the Great Path, comprehension of swordsmanship, comprehension of Ao Wu, and so on, were all cultivated, comprehended, and improved under the One Heart Sutra.
Advancing together!
This was an ability that countless people envied.
Na Zhen and Yue Yue were also staying in their room, quietly cultivating. Although they were not considered as geniuses in the Origin Race, their cultivation could not be neglected. If they were strong enough, why would they pay such a high price to hire someone to escort them?
