A New Clue, Ascending to the Azure Cloud Sect!

The Northern Territory is indeed a natural sanctuary.

But the organization that stole the Innate Origin must have a powerful backer to be so rampant.

Even the Yutian True God has a headache.

If Chen Ning investigates this matter, he will inevitably have to make an enemy of the powerful backer behind him.

Having many lice doesn't make you feel itchy.

To obtain the Azure Lotus of Life, we must wade into these muddy waters.

Thunder God said, "To be honest, the situation in the Northern Territory is far too complicated. If you give me some more time, with the resources of the Unknowing Island, I will definitely be able to rebuild the Northern Territory. Why don't you wait until then to investigate this matter?"

"Thank you for your kindness, Senior Thunder God, but I urgently need to complete the task assigned by the Yutian True God, and I'm afraid I don't have that much time."

"Since that's the case, then I'll give you another piece of advice: some forces in the Northern Territory, including some powerful figures at the God Realm, are under the protection of the Great God White Brows."

Thank you.

Thunder God not only gave this advice, but also provided a clue.

The Western Territory is a huge prize.

After the destruction of the Nine Yang Palace,

A new force has emerged, taking over from the Nine Yang Palace, and it's located on the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent.

There's been quite a commotion lately.

There are also liaisons in the Northern Territory.

So.

Investigating the new power in the Western Territory that has succeeded the Nine Yang Palace might yield some results.

But.

Chen Ning, however, began to ponder.

Was Thunder God telling the truth?

Thunder God initially said he wanted to wait until the Northern Territory was rebuilt before helping Chen Ning thoroughly investigate the matter.

Later, when Chen Ning said he needed to finish the task as soon as possible, he also provided information about the clues that the Great God White Brows's influence had reached the Northern Territory.

Perhaps it's a case of shifting the blame eastward.

It could also be the truth.

Is it true or false?

We'll have to wait and see what the next investigation reveals.

However, regardless of the circumstances, it's fine if the backer is just an ordinary God Realm expert, but if it's truly one of the two Middle God, the Thunder God or the Great God White Brows.

That would be a tricky situation.

At the same time.

The Spirit Rhinoceros True God wasn't entirely honest either; if even the Thunder God knew this, how could the Spirit Rhinoceros True God not know?

The Nine Yang Palace has already emerged. If the Spirit Rhinoceros True God is also completely unaware of this new force, then it might as well replace the ruler of the Spirit Rhinoceros Continent.

Azure Cloud Mountain.

The peaks rise one after another, shrouded in clouds and mist.

When Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu arrived, it was early morning.

Chen Ning and Ning stood atop a green peak.

Observing the scene below the mountain.

According to the information provided by Thunder God, this is a hidden force, the Azure Cloud Sect.

He has a reputation for kindness.

This sect has only a handful of members, but if you come here to become an apprentice and learn skills...

The entire Azure Cloud Sect imparted all their knowledge to each other.

And they ask for nothing in return.

They don't even need you to work for them.

It truly reflects a heart dedicated to saving the world.

I never strive for fame or fortune.

It's truly hard to imagine linking the Azure Cloud Sect with that sinister organization that stole the Innate Origin.

But sometimes, it's precisely this kind of pretense, this kind of contrast, that's what's most terrifying.

While Chen Ning and his companion were still observing...

A loud eagle cry rang out.

A giant Wind Spirit Eagle descended.

On its back stood a young girl, who raised her eyebrows and asked, "Who are you? Why are you sneaking into my Azure Cloud Sect's territory like this?"

"We have long heard of the Azure Cloud Sect influence throughout the world, and have come here to visit and learn from them. Please forgive us if we have caused any disturbance."

"Visit?"

The girl looked at Chen Ning and Zhao Xiuxiu with disbelief and said, "You are both at the Late Stage of Saint Venerable realm. With such strength, what could my Azure Cloud Sect possibly teach you?"

"Young lady, we've come specifically to learn the Azure Cloud Sect's most powerful and secret technique."

Chen Ning bowed slightly.

The Azure Cloud Sect possesses a secret technique.

It is the most precious treasure of our clan.

But he never holds back, as long as the visitors are not extremely wicked or evil.

The Azure Cloud Sect will then impart all their knowledge to them.

This secret technique is called the Thousand Illusions at Will.

Simply put, it's a form of illusion magic, creating illusions and dreamscapes.

It makes people believe it to be true.

Whether for defending against enemies or for escaping, it is a skill that can be mastered.

It has some similarities to the deceptive skills that Chen Ning inherited from the God of Deception.

Chen Ning's idea was simple.

When one has mastered this Technique of Deception, it will be difficult to conceal. If one can learn the "Thousand Illusions at Will," then one can make others mistake the Technique of Deception"Thousand Illusions at Will of Wishes."

In this way.

It can save a lot of trouble.

The girl blinked her beautiful eyes, and behind her, dozens of flying swords appeared, swirling and humming.

"I don't believe it. You don't look honest at all."

"Your words have hurt me deeply. Do I look like a bad person?" Chen Ning said, looking aggrieved.

"Hmph, someone as good-looking as you must be a liar. Better to kill the innocent than let the guilty go free."

As the girl spoke, she rode her flying sword toward Chen Ning.

Chen Ning didn't move.

The opponent was at the Late Stage of Saint Venerable, which Zhao Xiuxiu could easily handle.

Just as Zhao Xiuxiu was about to take action.

All the flying swords the girl was riding came to a stop in mid-air.

A somewhat helpless voice rang out. "Sisi, you'll be reprimanded by the sect leader if you keep doing this."

The words had barely left his mouth.

A young man appeared; he had a square face and strong features, and seemed to be an honest and upright person.

Upon seeing the man, the girl named Sisi couldn't help but complain, "Brother Xiaoshan, I was just investigating suspicious individuals for the sect. The sect leader won't blame me."
