It's Just That There Are a Few More Beneficial Insects

Swish, swish, swish.

Figures emerged from the flying boat.

Xiang Li was placed in the very center of the crowd.

"Lisun, do you know how to activate it?"

Xiang Qingcang looked at Xiang Li.

Xiang Li nodded and said:

"It's not difficult, but we'll need Grandpa's support at the time, otherwise the timeframe might be too short."

"Don't worry." Xiang Qingcang nodded.

He looked at Xiang Li intently for a moment, then said:

"Lisun, once you arrive in the Misty Clear Realm, you must quickly expand your connections and build your network. Also, remember to help probe that senior's attitude regarding the Five Continents Domain."

Xiang Li nodded:

"Grandpa, don't worry, I remember all of that."

"Okay, then we won't waste any more time."

Xiang Qingcang took a few steps back, looked at the Xiang Clan experts present, and said:

"Stay vigilant; there's no room for error on this matter!"

At this moment, a powerful member of the Xiang Clan tried to speak:

"Elder Chief, what's going on now?"

Xiang Qingcang glanced at Xiang Li, who had already begun activating the talisman, and then said:

"Above our Five Continents Domain, there is a place called Misty Clear Domain, where there are even better cultivation conditions and resources."

"Not long ago, a powerful figure from the Misty Clear Realm found our Xiang Clan and took Lisun into their ranks. Now, we are on our way to the Misty Clear Realm."

Xiang Qingcang finished speaking...

All the elders of the Xiang Clan present showed strange expressions:

"There are even better places to cultivate beyond the Five Continents Domain? The Misty Clear Realm, why have I never heard of this name before?"

"Judging from the scale of things today, just going there already requires such a grand procession. It seems that the Misty Clear Realm is far superior to our Five Continents Domain. Xiang Li is truly blessed to be able to go to such a place."

"Being accepted into the sect, it seems they are no ordinary disciples. The term 'inner disciple' is rarely heard of. Perhaps they are like the closed-door disciples of the Five Continents Domain."

Each of the powerful figures was lost in their own thoughts.

Between Xiang Li's hands.

The talisman suddenly burst forth with radiance.

Brush.

A flash of light landed on Xiang Li's body, covering his entire body.

Suddenly, a peculiar aura emanated from Xiang Li.

At this moment, everyone felt a sense of unease and looked up at the sky.

There, amidst the clouds, stands a towering gate, its intricate patterns seemingly blessed by the Great Dao, instantly awe-inspiring at first glance.

Xiang Qingcang stared at the gate in the clouds, his expression solemn.

The current state of the Misty Clear Realm is probably beyond what the Five Continents Domain can compare to today.

"Grandpa, take me upstairs."

Xiang Li's voice rang out.

"Good!"

Upon hearing Xiang Qingcang immediately unleashed his full Saint Emperor aura, stepping to Xiang Li's side and using his power to drag the two of them straight towards the Cloud Gate.

When Xiang Qingcang approached the gate by about a hundred feet, he felt a powerful resistance.

Faced with this resistance, even he, being the one in question, was unable to continue upwards.

He looked at Xiang Li and gently shook his head:

"You'll have to walk the rest of the road yourself."

Xiang Li nodded, activated his power, and walked towards the gate.

Below, countless eyes were fixed on the scene before them.

The eyes of the Xiang Clan's powerful members held expressions of satisfaction, excitement, and envy.

"The Xiang Clan should produce an extraordinary figure soon!"

What is happening now is unprecedented even in the entire Five Continents Domain.

Somewhere in the Land of the Four Directions.

On the cool mat, the old man sat up, his gaze falling on the gate in the clouds.

"This door?"

"The Xiang Clan's luck hasn't been good lately, and now they're trying to harm other people's descendants."

The old man shook his head slightly, with a hint of disdain in his expression.

"However, having done all that, it seems they really intend to give up."

As he spoke, the old man shook his head and smiled:

"Actually, the harvest from this land isn't as bad as you think; it's just that there are a lot more beneficial insects."

After saying that, the old man lay back down on the mat, looking relaxed and carefree.

On the other side.

Among the clouds.

Xiang Li had already arrived at the gate.

His gaze lingered on the gate for a moment, then he used his power to swirl the talisman in front of him, causing it to touch the gate.

Buzz!

The talisman trembled upon contact, then vanished.

Rumble.

The door made a loud noise, but instead of opening, the middle of the door began to vibrate.

Immediately afterwards, a voice came from within:

"Did you do this voluntarily?"

Xiang Li paused slightly, then said:

"May I ask what you are asking, senior?"

As soon as the words were spoken, the voice rang out again:

"Did you do this voluntarily?"

It was the same content, but this time, there was a noticeable increase in impatience.

Sensing this, Xiang Li immediately nodded and said in a deep voice:

"Yes, senior, I am volunteering."

Brush.

The words had barely left his mouth.

From within the gate, a force flew out and landed on Xiang Li.

The next moment, Xiang Li's figure disappeared.

Half a breath later, the gate in the clouds also disappeared.

Xiang Qingcang gazed Jingjing at the clouds that had returned to normal, and sighed softly.

It won't be easy for my grandson to come back from this trip.

"However, if Lisun can achieve something in his cultivation, it will be a great benefit to our Xiang Clan."

After speaking, Xiang Qingcang composed himself.

As Saint Emperor and the patriarch of a top-tier power, how could he allow himself to wallow in sorrow?

Below.

Among the powerful members of the Xiang Clan.

Xiang Qing's brows furrowed with a hint of doubt.

Xiang Li was taken in by the powerful figures of the Misty Clear Realm and went to a better place.

But why did he have a vague feeling that doing this might not be the right thing to do?

But soon, he shook his head.

This matter was beyond his control, and now that it had already happened, thinking about it further was futile.

One day later.

Hidden Origin Peak.

Cang Wenyu brought Zhong Ming to Hidden Origin Peak.

"Changzhi, this gentleman, according to him, is also one of your disciples?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi nodded and smiled, saying:

"Yes, I received it not long ago."

Cang Wenyu nodded and praised:

"Indeed, he looks like a very handsome man."

After chatting for a while, Cang Wenyu got up and left.

Lu Changzhi looked at Zhong Ming and smiled:

"Why did you suddenly come to the peak?"

Zhong Ming smiled upon hearing this:

"I've secured a rather thrilling section of the trail, so I'm looking for a place to rest and recuperate. It's been quite a while since I've been here."

"Something more exciting?" Lu Changzhi's expression shifted:

Tell me about it?

Zhong Ming nodded:

"It was the Xiang Clan from the Five Continents Domain. I happened to be passing by and saw that their Saint Emperor level experts and many Saint Venerable level experts had gone out, so I went to take a look."

"The Xiang Clan's mausoleum is very large, with many tombs buried there. It's a good place for protection. However, the Xiang Clan's strongmen are a bit cunning. Both the living strongmen and their deceased ancestors are buried underground. I happened to run into them while protecting the path, and it almost cost me my life."

Lu Changzhi's expression was strange.

He also noticed the commotion the Xiang Clan had caused in the Land of the Four Directions yesterday.

Quite a few people came.

It can be said that a large-scale operation was launched.

I guess it's to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Now that I've heard what Zhong Ming said, it seems I still couldn't prevent it.

After asking about other aspects, Lu Changzhi called out to Mu Fan, asking him to take Zhong Ming and look around for the time being.

It was dusk.

After the meal, the system suddenly spoke up and asked Lu Changzhi:

"Master, the commander is going away for a few days."

"Oh?" Lu Changzhi smiled.

What are you going there for this time?

"My disciple Zhong Ming has just returned. I'll take his system and go fetch the sword for my master."
