Chapter 261 : Chapter 261
Chapter 261: Who Is the Mantis? Who Is the Oriole?
Early the next morning!
Su Ming and Xuanyuan Tianji found Chen Shu and told her that they were preparing to leave.
When Chen Shu heard this, she unsurprisingly tried to persuade Su Ming to stay.
What happened next was exactly the same as what Su Ming had seen in the Simulator. Su Ming told Chen Shu about the future affairs involving the Eldritch Race and the Wang Family.
As a result, Chen Tian suddenly appeared and interrupted their conversation.
In the end, Chen Tian asked Su Ming to take Chen Shu with him. Su Ming did not refuse and directly agreed to Chen Tian’s request.
Three days later!
Chen Tian handed a portion of the resources from the Hope Zone to Su Ming. Without another word, Su Ming directly divided those resources between Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji.
When Chen Tian saw this, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
These resources could be considered Chen Tian’s payment to him for taking Chen Shu away, but he had not expected Su Ming to divide them between Chen Shu and Xuanyuan Tianji without even blinking.
After leaving the Ancient Emperor Ruins, Su Ming brought the two of them all the way to the Fallen Immortal Abyss.
Although he had already obtained a Xuanhuang Shield from the simulation, as the saying went, one could never have too many good things. Who would ever disdain having too many treasures?
“Here!”
Xuanyuan Tianji placed the Xuanhuang Shield forged from Xuanhuang Stone Marrow before Su Ming.
“This thing should not be very useful to you as you are now. Why did you still make a trip here to retrieve it?”
Xuanyuan Tianji looked at the Xuanhuang Shield in her hand and asked in puzzlement.
“Although I have no use for it, Senior Sister Zi You and the others need it!”
Su Ming took the Xuanhuang Shield, the corners of his mouth curving slightly upward.
Since the Xuanhuang Shield could withstand his Chaos Divine Lightning, after he returned to the Dead Land, it would still be of great help in assisting Zi You, Zhuge Qing, and the others in breaking through to the Tribulation Stage.
Although the Lightning Tribulations in the Dead Land were much stronger than those in the Qingxuan Immortal Domain, they still could not compare to his Chaos Divine Lightning.
“Let us go!”
Su Ming put away the Xuanhuang Shield, opened the Void Domain within his body, and signaled for the two of them to enter.
Xuanyuan Tianji shook her head, then walked into the Void Domain. Chen Shu followed close behind her.
“Taixuan Immortal Domain! Let us set off!”
...
One year later!
Su Ming arrived once again in the familiar Taixuan Immortal Domain from his memories.
After arriving in the Taixuan Immortal Domain, he immediately released Xuanyuan Tianji and Chen Shu.
“Which realm-boundary is this?”
Xuanyuan Tianji looked at the surrounding scenery and subconsciously asked.
Hearing this, Su Ming pointed in a certain direction and said, “This is the Taixuan Immortal Domain. That direction is the territory ruled by the Human Race.”
This time, the place Su Ming had arrived at was once again different from the one in the simulation, but the good news was that it was not far from the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.
Moreover, the Thousand-Eyed Emperor of the Eldritch Sect was injured, and the Eldritch Race as a whole had become relatively low-key. Therefore, Su Ming was not worried that he would encounter the Eldritch Race here.
“Taixuan Immortal Domain?”
“How do you know this is the Taixuan Immortal Domain? And... you seem to be very familiar with this place.”
Xuanyuan Tianji very keenly caught the information hidden in Su Ming’s words.
From what Su Ming had just said, Xuanyuan Tianji could clearly sense that Su Ming was very familiar with the situation in the Taixuan Immortal Domain.
If Xuanyuan Tianji had not known that Su Ming came from the Lower Realm, she would even have suspected that he was from the Taixuan Immortal Domain. He actually even knew the Human Race’s sphere of influence clearly.
Among the three of them, only Chen Shu knew nothing about the situation here.
In the era when Chen Shu had been born, the Qingxuan Immortal Domain had already been in a state of isolation. The Realm-Boundary Grand Array could not be used, and all members of the Human Race could only cling to life in the Qingxuan Immortal Domain.
Xuanyuan Tianji told Chen Shu that the Taixuan Immortal Domain was one of the Ten Great Immortal Domains in the Great Thousand Worlds.
After Su Ming and the others briefly stopped there, they headed in the direction of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.
This time, Su Ming did not plan to enter the Great Dream Immortal Sect through Li Mutian.
He intended to head directly to the imperial capital of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty and join the Great Dream Immortal Sect on his own.
In the future great battle, Li Mutian’s squad was too weak. In the end, if Su Ming’s own strength had not been solid enough, he would not have survived at all.
In Su Ming’s view, he still hoped things could be as easy as possible. It would be best if he ended up in the squad led by Dreamless Immortal King.
In that squad, he could keep a constant eye on every move made by the Immortal Lord Great Perfection elder he had once seen inside the Eldritch Sect.
One year later!
Su Ming and the two women arrived at the imperial capital of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.
When they entered the imperial capital, Su Ming directly stated his purpose.
Therefore, after the three of them entered the imperial capital, they were immediately arranged to enter the Great Dream Immortal Sect.
The reason Su Ming could enter the imperial capital so easily was entirely because he wanted to join the Great Dream Immortal Sect.
In the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty, the Great Dream Immortal Sect was the front line in the fight against the Eldritch Sect. The Great Dream Immortal Dynasty wished that even more people would join the Great Dream Immortal Sect.
The Great Dream Immortal Sect only stipulated that ordinary cultivators and families without any background would be forcibly required to join the Great Dream Immortal Sect.
As for those families with backgrounds and strength, they were not forced to have everyone join. They only needed to send a portion of their descendants inside for training.
In Su Ming’s view, certain parasites had already appeared within the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty. These parasites used the banner of resisting the Eldritch Race to strengthen their own families and suck the blood of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty.
This situation had become especially severe now that the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign had been injured and fallen into slumber.
This phenomenon could also be seen from the great battle many years later.
Su Ming remembered very clearly that in the war from his memories, aside from the people of the Great Dream Immortal Sect, almost none of the aristocratic family descendants of the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty had come out.
Those families had merely made a symbolic gesture by sending out a few elders.
And the reason they gave was quite interesting. They claimed it was for the noble purpose of protecting the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign and preventing the Eldritch Race from launching a sneak attack.
“Wait!!!”
Suddenly, Su Ming, who had just entered the cave residence of the Great Dream Immortal Sect’s Inner Sect, widened his eyes sharply.
When he had been sorting through his thoughts along the way just now, he had suddenly realized a problem.
Only after Su Ming thought of the excuse the Immortal Dynasty’s aristocratic families had given in the simulation did he realize that he had overlooked something.
That was, after he entered the Eldritch Sect in the simulation, he had only encountered a few scattered Eldritch Creatures. Those Eldritch Creatures had all been drawn away by Nameless Immortal King and the other three.
At that time, Su Ming had thought that the strength of the Eldritch Race was nothing special, and that there were only those Immortal King-level Eldritch Beings.
But just now, he suddenly realized that if the Eldritch Race was truly that weak, then should the Taixuan Immortal Domain not have resolved the problem of the Eldritch Race long ago?
“So... the other Eldritch Creatures went to the Great Dream Immortal Dynasty because they wanted to completely kill the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign?”
When he thought of this, Su Ming could not help but feel a cold sweat on behalf of the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign.
Su Ming knew very well that those aristocratic families were only paying lip service to protecting the Great Dream Immortal Sovereign, but they themselves were also certain that the Eldritch Race absolutely would not dare to launch a sneak attack.
After all, in that war, the Human Race had mobilized on a grand scale and sent out four Immortal Kings.
If even the slightest accident occurred, the Thousand-Eyed Emperor might very well meet with misfortune as well.
“Interesting!”
Retracting his thoughts, Su Ming lifted his foot and walked toward the Resource Hall.
He had just joined the Great Dream Immortal Sect and had not yet collected his cultivation resources.
