Ninety years have been spent to build three Immortal Stele.

Roger didn't think there was any problem.

But all of this is predicated on a peaceful world.

Otherwise, even if you want to live a simple life, others won't allow it.

"I wonder if this task can be completed using a clone?"

"Or perhaps in a dimension where the flow rate is even faster at some point..."

If the above two approaches can be proven to be feasible.

Roger's path to immortality became even smoother.

About the Immortal Stele.

He actually possesses a "Seven Killings River" from the Slaughter Mask.

Wait until the time is right.

He could easily digest and devour it, turning it into his own monument.

In this way...

He only had two gaps left on his path to an immortal monument.

"Perhaps it won't take 90 years..."

"Of course, excess monuments can also be allocated to other positions."

End of brief reflection.

Roger's attention returned to Iloz's body.

In his Phoenix form, he appeared quite poor.

Cindy and the fairies freely In and Out over its corpse.

All they found were handfuls of ashes.

This greatly displeased Roger.

In order to kill Iloz.

He did sacrifice 75% of the Coiling Dragon Spear's durability!

While Cindy and the others were busy.

Roger also worked very hard, squatting next to the Phoenix's corpse and fumbling with his bare hands to make a gun!

Roger put in a lot of effort.

The durability of the Coiling Dragon Spear has only been mostly restored.

at this time.

The loot that fell from Iloz's body has been counted.

The final result perfectly matched Roger's initial impression.

This guy seems to have been prepared to either succeed or die trying.

Roger was left with very little.

First are three jet-black "Phoenix tail feathers".

After Iloz died.

His body turned to ashes in an instant.

All that remained from head to toe were two hard eyeballs and three tail feathers.

The eyeballs are worthless.

Tail feathers...

That's true.

At least in Roger's perception, this thing was completely useless.

That's why I kept it.

One reason is Roger's collecting obsession.

Secondly, he speculated that this thing might be of some use to Yu Feng.

The Phoenix and the Jade Phoenix certainly don't share the same origin.

But at least they are species that compete with each other in similar fields.

These three tail feathers embody the essence of the Phoenix.

It might even be helpful for Little Jade Phoenix's development.

Secondly, there was a thick notebook.

This was found in Iloz's storage items.

Honestly.

His storage devices are of high quality.

It is a small and exquisite conch.

The interior space is similar to that of the Sky Dragon's Jaw Pouch.

But very few items were of value.

This notebook can be considered somewhat useful.

Roger couldn't make out what was written on it.

But the moment he touched the notes.

The data panel then displayed this message.

"Prompt: You have obtained the ' Vortex Creature Job Change Scroll'. Do you wish to perform a secret ritual to transform into Vortex Template?"

Roger has no immediate plans to defect to the enemy.

But he was still quite clear about the principle of knowing oneself and one's enemy.

Keeping this book and studying it further will certainly not hurt.

Moreover, the book also includes a handwritten note by Iloz in the appendix.

The names of the people he had converted during his years as Captain were recorded in hastily Common Language.

Roger didn't know most of them.

However, this involves the perception and divination of these names through the Star Master Authority.

He can be sure.

The people on this roster are all Ascension-grade.

And they.

They were all captured by the Sky Walker.

Ultimately, it transformed into Vortex Template!

This made Roger deeply uneasy.

He had his doubts.

What if one day I officially go to war with the Vortex Creature?

You might run into many of the people on this roster! "Biggle and the others haven't been recorded yet."

"But it's probably only a matter of time."

Roger's heart sank.

Although Iloz is dead.

But Quinan left in the Sky Walker.

They have already completed at least most of their mission.

If he's not mistaken.

Most of the masters in the Historical World were captured by them and turned into Vortex Creature.

This action certainly did not happen by chance.

No wonder I can only be a lone commander in the Fifth Star Track!

Besides the job change certificate.

The rest was also unremarkable.

They are—

"999 damp firewood"

"Dried-up seaweed * 699"

"New Recruit Training Uniform"

"New Recruit Training Manual"

"Centurion Set (for use only in Sunken Battlefield)"

Roger considered 'firewood' and 'water plants' to be the most valuable.

Its purpose is still unclear.

But Roger sensed a hint of "campfire" and "tent" in them.

Perhaps in some Two-Dimensional World.

There is room for them to shine and generate heat.

As for the recruit meal, he used it purely as leisure reading material.

It was the centurion suit that finally piqued Roger's interest.

From an aesthetic point of view

This outfit is very much in the style of Quinan.

Especially the lower half of the body, which is neither pants nor a skirt.

It makes one suspect that it is a poorly adapted version of the Quenan battle skirt.

Roger couldn't see its attributes.

However, the restriction of "only for use in the Sunken Battlefield" adds a lot of mystery to this set.

Roger's thinking also opened up—

"First of all, we can confirm that Iloz must have been to the Sunken Battlefield!"

"He even managed to become a centurion."

"Therefore, the Sky Walker is most likely pointing towards the Sunken Battlefield!"

"And Quinan..."

Thinking of Quenan.

Roger's expression became very serious.

He calmly reviewed every word that Quinan had said.

I discovered that this seasoned veteran seemed to have a hidden meaning in almost every word he said.

But if we examine it more closely...

Roger couldn't find any concrete evidence.

Not only that.

He suddenly realized that the image of Quinan in his mind was also constantly changing—

Sometimes.

Roger thought Quinan was a super cunning old fox.

Every move this fellow makes is a prelude to his final act of luring the enemy into a trap.

Sometimes.

Roger might wonder if he'd misunderstood Quinan. Everything this guy does seems to be for his own benefit.

In order to show goodwill.

He even sold Iloz directly to himself!

Quinan made it clear that the two sides were enemies.

But that kind of enemy relationship seemed very awkward.

It's like...

It seemed like they were just going through the motions.

If this conjecture is true.

So who is Quinan trying to fool?

He joined the Vortex Creature.

Will they also join the Sunken Battlefield?

The person behind him...

Is it really just a mystery?

In a short time.

Roger's thoughts couldn't be described as being in turmoil.

At the very least, their heads exploded...

This was the first time he had felt his thoughts were confused and contradictory while pondering a problem! "A Celestial God-level expert!"

"Terrifying!"

Roger patted his head and gave a self-deprecating laugh.

He had already been "arranged" by Kuinan twice in a row!

Although this arrangement did not have much of a negative impact on me.

But Roger wasn't about to be led by the nose forever! "Looks like I'll have to let Quinan try my special skill next time we meet..."

A determined glint flashed in Roger's eyes.

so.

The most important goal next is—

Immortality as soon as possible!

To speed this up.

Roger decided to lower the requirements for the third person.

It'll do just fine.

Anyway, his foundation is already solid enough.

"It's time to raise their level!"

"My strength is no longer what it used to be, and I no longer need to Charge Up to increase my combat strength. Besides, the title of Star Lord at level 122 doesn't sound very impressive..."

Thinking about this...

Roger casually opened the character panel.

"Notification: Your Qi Refiner level has been increased to LV49 (Total Level 151)"

"You have gained a large number of free Attribute Points and Skill Points..."

"You have acquired the Qi Refiner's specialty: Nourishing Life Master"

"The Master of Nourishing Life: Your lifespan will increase by 1800 years."

"You have acquired the Qi Refiner's specialty: Free and Easy Wandering"

"Free and Easy Wandering: You can separate a wisp of your primordial spirit to quickly travel across the entire planet, and even explore the depths of the universe;..."

The distance of the Free and Easy Wandering is only related to your Qi Refiner level and Nascent Soul level.

The higher your Qi Refiner level, the higher your Nascent Soul level.

The farther the journey, the more carefree the travel.

Currently, the furthest reach is the Fourth Star Track and the Sea of Ruins...

Note: In the state of carefree wandering, if your differentiated primordial spirit is severely injured, it will be destroyed, and your primordial spirit will suffer some damage; however, if your Nascent Soul level is LV100 or above, you will be immune to primordial spirit damage.

"Transcending the realm to immortality..."

"It seems like there aren't many XP units left."

"I wonder if that's enough to directly ascend to the level of Strong Celestial God?"

Roger loosened his muscles.

The special skills given by the Qi Refiner are alright.

The Master of Nourishing Life directly granted him an extra 1,800 years of lifespan.

It's definitely a good skill for ordinary people.

Even Roger wouldn't complain about having too much life.

The "Free and Easy Wandering" method is even more practical.

This thing is essentially a super drone.

Not only can you travel to every corner of the Fifth Star Track.

They can even sneak off to visit the planets of Messenary or Telodal! As for damage...

Wasn't it said that as long as the Nascent Soul reaches LV100, one can be immune? Roger glanced at the ' Nascent Soul Great Method Development Progress' under the 'Nascent Soul Technique' specialization.

They have a very optimistic attitude.

Although he is a Qi Refiner with a pure and upright background.

He simply doesn't have time to nurture his nascent soul.

This is causing the progress bar to remain at 0%.

But Roger believed.

When fate brings you together, even minor problems will naturally resolve themselves!

Properly handle Iloz's remains.

Roger wielded the Star Master Authority.

Heading to Cloud Gathering City again.

Although he moved very quickly.

But an irreversible change still occurred here—

After Iloz's sudden death.

The Dark Tide grew increasingly violent.

Meanwhile, the Vortex Nest under his control collapsed rapidly.

Very soon.

A huge hole appeared in the sky above Cloud Gathering City.

When Roger arrived.

The hole is constantly spewing out Aberrant Matter!

Faintly.

There were also some twisted shadows and pale tentacles trying to crawl out of the hole!

"Warning: You have discovered a great rift leading to the 'Vortex Realm'..."

The bizarre rules and gravity of the great rift constantly distort the Cloud Sea World.

Roger could sense it.

Not only did the sea of clouds become more turbulent and unpredictable.

The immortal mountain, being a fragment of Kunwu Mountain, also became teetering on the brink of collapse.

The Land of Qi Transformation, emitted strange hissing sounds!

"We can't let it expand like this..."

Roger's face darkened.

He gripped the Star Lord Book tightly in his hand.

A vast amount of knowledge flooded into his mind.

A moment later.

He found a temporary solution.

His right hand kept turning the pages of the Star Lord Book.

It finally stopped on page 711.

"Peach Blossom Mountain!"

"Come!"

Roger called out softly.

A celestial mountain, its exterior radiating a golden glow, was pulled from the unknown! That was the Great Secret Realm of the Cloud Sea World—

Peach Blossom Mountain! At that time.

Roger used his Star Master Authority to seize Peach Blossom Mountain.

Then he pressed it into that huge hole! Three seconds later.

Peach Blossom Mountain radiated an even brighter golden light.

Like the sun, it blocked the cracks all around!

The crack stopped widening.

However, Aberrant Matter occasionally seeps in through the gaps in the space.

They followed the Dark Tide.

It permeated the entire Cloud Sea World!

"Fortunately, the Vortex Creature haven't changed the way the Aberrant Matter seep in yet..."

"Indigenous Qi Refiner and Martial Artist will not be infected in the short term!"

"Qi remains the natural enemy of demons!"

Roger observed for a while.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief.

despite this.

The Cloud Sea World from now on will probably no longer be peaceful.

on the one hand.

It needs to integrate into the present world.

on the other hand.

These Mutagenic Matter and Aberrant Matter substances, following the Dark Tide, will eventually find an outlet to be released!

Intermediate time.

The Cloud Sea World is likely to face its greatest crisis since its birth! However, Roger is not entirely unprepared.

Using the power of the secret realm of Peach Blossom Mountain to suppress the hole leading to the Vortex Realm is merely a temporary measure.

To be continued.

He will find a way to quell this Dark Tide! And just as Roger the relevant plan.

Suddenly, a commotion arose on Peach Blossom Mountain, which was being used to fill the holes.

After the golden light dissipated.

Strange shadows flew down from the mountain! They were heading towards Roger! Roger steadied himself.

He calmly went to meet them.

Cloud Gathering City.

The city wall was crowded with people.

Whether they are Qi Refiner can fly, Martial Artist who can't fly much, or ordinary people with extraordinary abilities.

Everyone craned their necks to watch the astonishing events unfolding outside the city.

For them.

Everything that happened tonight was truly surreal.

It simply cannot be explained by common sense!

Their emotions also changed with the changing situation—

If the scene of Roger single-handedly resisting the demonic calamity only left them feeling bewildered and impressed...

The mutual pecking between the Phoenix and the Jade Phoenix made some extraordinary individuals think, "I could do that too."

As for the scene where the Vortex Nest collapsed into a huge hole after Roger took the Phoenix, it made everyone feel what terror really meant!

But very quickly.

This fear transformed into joy and devotion!

because.

They saw something they couldn't believe—

"Peach Blossom Mountain!"

"Holy Mountain Paradise! Am I seeing things? That's the legendary Holy Mountain Paradise..."

"Is it the legendary Peach Blossom Mountain where one can ascend to immortality upon climbing it?"

"That's right, it's Peach Blossom Mountain, exactly the same as the one depicted in the ancient records..."

"Hey? Someone has come down from Peach Blossom Mountain, it's the legendary celestial official!"

"So many celestial officials... They really are all accomplished spirits... Wait, where are these celestial officials going?"

In the presence of tens of thousands of people throughout Cloud Gathering City.

Master Xile Iron-Eating Beast, led many of his fellow disciples from the Four Symbols Temple to be the first to fly to Roger's side.

They knelt down and bowed directly to Roger.

Immediately afterwards.

They are the water demons of Tianhu Lake, the immortals of Chang Le, the monsters of Leize, and the immortals of Yougu Valley...

That moment.

More than a thousand spirits from Peach Blossom Mountain knelt down and worshipped Roger.

They knelt and worshipped.

They also shouted, "Greetings, Mountain Lord (Star Lord)!"

On the data panel.

"Hint: You have obtained the Cloud Sea World- exclusive milestone: Ten Thousand Immortals Pay Homage"

"While world anomalies are forming, should we implement ' Phenomenon Management '?"
