Shennong Dao Master

"No, nothing." Jing Yan laughed. "Big brother is joking with me."

"See?" Chen Xuan patted Jing Yan's shoulder with satisfaction.

In fact, he was very familiar with Jing Yan, otherwise, he wouldn't have recognized him at a glance.

"Alright, let's talk business." Yue Girl ignored Chen Xuan and stared at Jing Yan: "Do you have the items?"

"Yes." Jing Yan nodded. "The Taishi Crown, the Preaching Book, the Boundary Repair Pen, we got them all."

"We?" Yue Girl looked behind Jing Yan: "There are two other people, who are they?"

"Zhao Xing, Yu Tianqing." Jing Yan waved his hand, "They're my brothers; I brought them in, along with Bai Yang."

"How did you get into the Imperial Palace?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.

"This isn't the place to talk." Jing Yan said, "We've got the items; let's get out of here and then write the mission summary."

"Jing Yan is right." Yue Girl said: "Let's get out of here first."

...

With Chen Xuan, a top-tier drudge, the following tasks were much easier.

Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing jumped into Chen Xuan's ear together and stayed with Yue Girl and the others.

Then Chen Xuan, carrying the Taishi Crown, silently approached the South City Gate.

When he could no longer walk, Chen Xuan stopped hiding his tracks and initiated a sneak attack on the gate-guarding Book Puppet.

"Boom~"

The Star Fall Fist sent three Tao Domain Realm Book Puppets flying.

Taking advantage of this gap, Chen Xuan quickly threw the Boundary Repair Pen and the Preaching Book into the mouth of the Tomb Beast Statue.

"Buzz~"

Everything around seemed to freeze, as if the story had come to an end.

Just as Chen Xuan was preparing to face the imminent attack, he realized that no attack had landed on him for a long time.

Then he looked up and saw that he was already outside the city.

"Pop~"

The city wall seemed to regurgitate, spitting out the Boundary Repair Pen and the Preaching Book.

"We did it! Hahaha!" Chen Xuan laughed heartily.

Yue Girl, Zhao Xing, Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and the others also flew out from his ear.

The Boundary Repair Pen and the Preaching Book, along with the Taishi Crown, shone brightly.

"Splash~"

The water in the moat suddenly boiled as if something was breaking the surface.

Other members, with experience, dared not look at the moat.

However, Zhao Xing and Yu Tianqing secretly watched.

An ancient Realm Transfer Tomb Ship, like a ghost slowly sailing from the depths of time, broke the surface's tranquility.

The prow of the ship emerged first, revealing a meticulously carved ferocious beast head in front of everyone.

The ship's body was made of a strange black wood, weathered by time, covered in mottled patterns akin to the wrinkles on an elder's face, telling countless untold stories.

From the gaps in the wood, tendrils of black mist seeped out, with faint, low wails as if aggrieved spirits trapped within were struggling in pain.

On both sides of the ship's railing hung an array of old copper bells. These copper bells varied in shape and size, and had mysterious runes engraved on their surfaces.

"Realm Transfer Tomb Ship, it's it." Yue Girl's eyes lit up. "Everyone, get on the ship."

Upon hearing her, everyone flew up.

"Splash~" After stabilizing, the Realm Transfer Tomb Ship began to sail along the river.

Everything around began to fade; the heavens, the city, all seemed to disappear.

Zhao Xing stood on the deck with many others, glancing around, finding about thirty-seven people on the ship.

Originally, each team had thirty people, but now only thirty-seven were left.

Bai Yang's team, moreover, had only three survivors; it had truly been a life-risking mission.

Fortunately, everything was coming to an end. After counting the numbers, Yue Girl said: "We are entering a Void River and will soon exit the Transmission Realm. Once we're out, we'll find a safe passage back, so you don't have to worry."

"Once we return, we will reward merit and grant you your due star fire rewards."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and some even cheered on the spot.

"Jing Yan, your group will be under my command for now." Yue Girl looked at Jing Yan, Zhao Xing, and Yu Tianqing.

"Yes."

"Next, rest on the spot and don't move around randomly." Yue Girl ordered.

"Yes." The Realm Transfer Tomb Ship was clearly a treasure itself, with a spacious interior and numerous areas, but for now, the outsourced members evidently had no heart for exploration.

They obediently sat around Chen Xuan.

Zhao Xing also sat cross-legged, feeling as though Yue Girl had glanced at him twice.

"Could it be that she noticed I've cultivated the Three Gods Fate Palace?"

But seeing Yue Girl closing her eyes again, he stopped overthinking and quietly waited for the journey to end.

The time within the Transmission Realm wasn't long; even including the waiting time, it was just over a decade, yet the gains were significant.

"Star Fire obtained the Historical Officer's Three Treasures. After returning this time, I can demand that the Great Zhou people first migrate to the Red Star Empire."

"Including preparation, it will take decades, but we should reach the Red Star Empire eventually."

"Besides, Jing Yan, Yu Tianqing, and I also obtained some high-quality Divine Power Decrees."

"We learned some clues about the Reincarnation Altar... it was a huge success!"

"Great, next I can focus on Nanluo 21's Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum." Zhao Xing thought. "The treasures in that Preaching Scholar's Imperial Mausoleum are no less than here, but I need to prepare thoroughly; otherwise... hmm?"

As Zhao Xing was thinking, the Realm Transfer Tomb Ship suddenly began to shake violently.

The surrounding void suddenly became rugged, and the river seemed extremely turbulent.

"What's going on?"

"What happened?"

"Are we not going to get out?"
