A council hall in the Mission Hall.
The room was packed with people, and Jiang Ping was among them. Ye Qingyun had informed him and then rushed over to attend the guest meeting.
He looked up and around and noticed that there were many more guest advisors present than at the last meeting.
Clearly, given the matter concerns the Falling Moon Ruins, the Qingling Palace has a large-scale operation, and these Guest Elder cannot remain uninvolved; they are under the command of the higher-ups.
At this moment, the person in the main seat at the front was replaced by a handsome young man.
A deep blue flame-shaped mark between his brows gave him an unusually mysterious appearance.
This person was none other than the newly appointed deacon, Yan Kai.
Jiang Ping noticed that in the front row, a young man in black looked somewhat uneasy, as if he were absent-minded, lacking his usual domineering and assertive demeanor.
The man in black was Liu Ruhai, who had become quite famous recently and had suffered two setbacks.
First, Jiang Ping and his two companions came to his door to intimidate him. Then, he offended someone and was stripped of his deacon position and had 20,000 contribution points deducted from his account.
"With 20,000 contribution points and the loss of his hard-earned steward position after years of hard work, Liu Ruhai has suffered a great loss. I heard he was planning to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave, but after all this, his entry will likely be delayed for many years, unless he has some great opportunity."
Sitting next to Jiang Ping, Ren Xiaoxiao couldn't help but send a telepathic message.
For Dao Seed of her caliber, the Heavenly Heart Cave is of immeasurable value, capable of simulating True Saint Tribulation.
Moreover, it's unrealistic to expect to directly undergo Crossing the Tribulation after just one simulation. Even among the current Upper True Disciple, only a few have successfully simulated tribulations more than once; they are still refining their skills, let alone Liu Ruhai.
It can be said that due to a series of recent events, the cultivation progress of this peerless genius, who is rising like the sun, will likely be delayed for many years.
If it were someone with a weaker mindset, their Dao Heart might have collapsed. Liu Ruhai was able to sit still, which shows his strong inner strength.
As the saying goes, while some are sad, others are happy.
Jiang Ping noticed that another young man in the front row was full of vigor and was chatting with a beautiful guest, even daring to make jokes about Liu Ruhai in order to show off.
"This Feng Zhan is fearless. His elder brother Yan Kai can protect him in Nine Clouds City, but we are going to the Falling Moon Ruins, where the dangers are unknown. If we run into Liu Ruhai alone, hmph."
Ren Xiaoxiao couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
She had lived in Qingling for many years and had seen many people like Feng Zhan. Today, she saw him build a tall building, but how many people had died tragically when that building collapsed?
However, if Ren Xiaoxiao could think of this, the newly appointed deacon Yan Kai would naturally be able to as well.
When finalizing the list of guest advisors to be sent, the steward deliberately omitted Feng Zhan's name.
But fortunes can change drastically over time.
In the past, Feng Zhan dared to undermine Liu Ruhai by relying on his elder brother's connections, and today he even made jokes in public. Liu Ruhai is not one to tolerate such behavior.
The young man in black immediately stood up to object.
As is customary, such mandatory tasks are usually followed by a break after each trip. Feng Zhan did not participate last time, so according to the rules, he must be on the list this time.
Yan Kai in the main seat, changed his expression slightly. He was stunned for a long time, and did not refute it on the surface. However, everyone could see that he was using telepathy to comfort Liu Ruhai.
This kind of thing can be a big deal or a small deal. As long as no one objects, there won't be any problems afterward. But if you really investigate it and make a big fuss, then Feng Zhan's trip will be unavoidable.
As a result, Feng Zhan was included on the list for this trip.
The Guest Elder had been so arrogant just moments before now looked quite unpleasant, and he had even lost all interest in flirting with the female guest elder.
Behind him, Jiang Ping had been observing from the sidelines the whole time, and even after he was on the list, he remained indifferent.
Or rather, he was certain he couldn't avoid this trip; he was the number one target on the list.
"It's not all dangerous. The high-ranking members of both major Dao system are personally leading the way and bringing their geniuses along for training. This means that as long as we don't go too deep, there's probably no problem."
Ren Xiaoxiao said.
She was also on the trip and was quite looking forward to it.
Jiang Ping pondered. According to everyone, the outer perimeter of the ruins was relatively safe, but to seek great fortune and soar to new heights, one would definitely have to venture deeper. Could these guest elders resist the temptation?
Time passed quickly, and the council meeting ended soon afterward. The departure date was set for 100 days later.
"One hundred days, which is three months."
Jiang Ping raised an eyebrow. He was currently undergoing the fourth stage of the Foundation Establishment Chapter. At the current pace, refining the Phoenix Baleful Intent would be no problem, but there wasn't enough time to complete this stage.
"Three months... can I break through to the next realm?"
Thinking of this, he shook his head again.
Over the past two years, Jiang Ping has not only refined his physical body and honed his skills, but also continued to hone his Primordial Spirit cultivation.
Although they have accumulated considerable resources, they are still far from being able to bring about the World-Ending Tribulation.
"Unless one possesses legendary-level Primordial Spirit Great Medicine, it's impossible to achieve flawless refinement in a short time and thus break through the barrier."
Jiang Ping thought to himself.
Since his Undying Physical Body, this major hurdle, which many people considered extremely dangerous, posed no difficulty for him. As long as he had the opportunity to Crossing the Tribulation, it would be a chance for rapid improvement without any obstacles.
The key issue is that he doesn't have those resources at his disposal.
After much deliberation, Jiang Ping's heart stirred, and he couldn't resist making a trip to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
Qingling traverses the South Heaven Departmental Prefecture; how could it lack resources of this caliber?
Jiang Ping came out shortly after entering the Spirit Treasure Pavilion.
The reason is simple: those great medicines are too valuable, enough to allow a primordial Primordial Spirit with Undying characteristic to leap again. Naturally, the contribution points required are also high, enough to enter the Heavenly Heart Cave once.
Jiang Ping had no choice but to leave with regret.
Leaving Spirit Treasure Pavilion, passing by a small courtyard ahead, a slightly plump old man in a Daoist robe was sunbathing.
"Elder Lu."
Jiang Ping and several other Qingling Sect from the Spirit Treasure Pavilion greeted him respectfully, but were naturally ignored.
Although this true saint frequently appears at the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, his aloofness is ingrained in his very being, and few can gain his response.
Back in his own Palace, Jiang Ping continued to hone his physical body, striving to improve as much as he could.
However, the next day, he left the Quiet room and flew to Nine Clouds City with Ye Qingyun.
In the largest restaurant in the city, in the most luxurious private room, the two met Ji Wushuang.
This man, dressed in white, was exceptionally handsome and possessed an otherworldly air, like a banished immortal untouched by worldly concerns. Judging by his face alone, one could hardly tell if he was male or female.
Brother Ji, how have you been?
Ye Qingyun greeted him warmly, and he was quite grateful to Ji Wushuang.
The other party's previous act of standing up for him, or rather, supporting him, indirectly told the world that Ye Qingyun had the background of Direct disciple of Venerable One.
Jiang Ping clasped his hands in a fist salute and laughed, "Brother Ji is becoming increasingly unfathomable. Could it be that the Yin and Yang Order has already been broken?"
Ji Wushuang shook her head, denying it. "It's still far from enough."
He scrutinized Jiang Pingping closely, then suddenly raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but say:
How about we have a friendly spar?
Ji Wushuang added another sentence:
"Don't use the Sword of Ten Thousand Laws."
I went to the second update in the evening.
