440: Plans changed!

Su Ming looked at the simulation results on the simulator, his expression extremely ugly.

He did not expect that this simulation would only last for a short few years.

He was glad he had used up his last simulation opportunity!

Otherwise, returning from the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm in a few years would have been his death date.

The number of simulations was exhausted; he would have to wait sixteen years for the next one.

"I must be cautious."

Su Ming rubbed his temples lightly.

The simulation results clearly told him that he must not go to the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm.

Not only that, but within the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, he could not be too flashy.

First, there was the possibility of Su Qingyuan being used as a Cauldron, and now, through the simulation, he had also become that lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Perhaps, at this very moment!

Among the high-level members of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, someone was already targeting him.

After all, his previous two missions outside had been perfect.

A chill rose from his spine, piercing straight to his heart.

He closed his eyes, trying to suppress the surging unease in his chest.

Originally, he had prepared to become a Genius Disciple of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect!

But in an instant, Su Ming had become fat meat in the eyes of others.

This unexpected sudden change made him feel suffocated.

"It seems I cannot go to the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm."

Su Ming let out a silent sigh in his heart that no one could hear.

That breath was heavy, as if he wanted to exhale all the pent-up frustration in his chest.

His trip to the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm was far from just to use the ultimate dao emperor weapon openly.

More importantly, it was for the abundant Cultivate resources within the Secret Realm.

If they wouldn't let him use the ultimate dao emperor weapon, he would endure it.

After all, an innocent man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime; he understood this principle better than anyone.

But to cut off his path to resources was tantamount to taking his life.

Resources were the foundation of Su Ming's survival in this world and his greatest reliance for rapidly improving his strength.

Without resources, even the most Heaven-Defying talent would be nothing but a castle in the air.

More than four years... The time left for him was neither long nor short.

Su Ming's fingertips tapped lightly on the tabletop, making a dull sound, while thoughts surged continuously in the depths of his eyes.

"It seems I can only proceed with Plan B."

"Before the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm opens, I must find a way to take Su Qingyuan away."

In Su Ming's mind, the ugly face of the Grand Elder in his hall suddenly appeared.

Full of benevolence and morality, speaking so passionately for the future of the Sect, as if he could shed his blood for the Sect at any moment.

But behind his back? His true purpose was merely for himself.

"A bunch of hypocritical guys!"

Su Ming had seen through it; the current Nine Heavens Immortal Sect was rotten to the core.

It wasn't that they didn't care about the Disciples, but rather that they viewed all Disciples as leeks that could be harvested at any time!

They were the nourishment for maintaining their own high and mighty status.

In Su Ming's view, this approach was almost indistinguishable from the Eerie Clan.

"A bunch of old, undying thieves."

Su Ming cursed under his breath, but a cold arc tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Since you are unjust, don't blame me for being unrighteous.

Originally, he had wanted to slowly accumulate strength within the Sect.

But now it seemed that staying in this place for even one more day was a waste of life.

Since he couldn't enter the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm within the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect, he would find a way to take Su Qingyuan away before the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm opened.

It was just that how to make Su Qingyuan willingly go with him was also a problem.

Su Ming's eyes gradually became deep.

Difficult, does not mean impossible.

The night deepened, and a crescent moon hung in the sky, cold and sharp as a hook.

"Four years... is enough."

Su Ming stood up slowly, his tense body relaxing.

After Su Ming walked out of his Immortal Cave, he did not stop, but headed straight to the Mission Hall of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect.

Since he had decided to leave the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect before the Heavenly Emperor Secret Realm opened.

Then he naturally had to settle accounts properly before leaving.

He had no intention of leaving these vast Sect resources behind for nothing.

To fleece a sheep, one must naturally fleece the fattest one.

Soon, Su Ming stepped into the bustling Mission Hall.

Deep in the hall, Elder Wang, who was responsible for mission registration, saw Su Ming's figure from afar and immediately piled up a smile on his face.

For a Disciple with such strong talent as Su Ming, even an Elder was happy to befriend him in advance.

This was a form of investment, and even more, a means to ensure his own status.

"Su Ming, are you here to take on a mission again today?"

"Good lad, you are truly diligent!"

Elder Wang stroked his beard, smiling until his eyes were almost narrowed into slits.

Su Ming looked at the smiling face full of wrinkles in front of him, but his heart was ice-cold.

He remembered in the simulator how this person had been extremely cold to him in the end, and he couldn't help but sneer in his heart.

"Yes, Elder Wang,"

"I was just thinking about earning more points; Cultivate resources are always in short supply."

"Hahaha, well said. Cultivation is like rowing a boat against the current. With this realization, you will sooner or later become a Core Disciple of the Sect."

Elder Wang nodded with satisfaction, then asked.

"What mission do you plan to take this time?"

Su Ming did not say much and walked directly to the mission light screen.

Immediately after, he reached out and pointed to a mission, speaking in a calm tone.

"I want to take this one."

Elder Wang looked in the direction Su Ming pointed, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

"Th-this one?"

He raised his voice, carrying a trace of disbelief.

"Su Ming, are you sure?"

The mission Su Ming pointed to was to collect from a newly discovered Medium-sized Immortal Stone Ore Vein in the Qingming Mountains.

Elder Wang lowered his voice, his expression becoming solemn.

"A Medium-sized Immortal Stone Ore Vein, and it's newly discovered. It has been confirmed that an Eerie Creature of the Immortal Lord Realm is entrenched there."

"You... are you really not afraid of death?"

Su Ming turned his head, his pupils carrying a trace of confidence.

"Rest assured, Elder Wang, I have my own discretion!"

"As for the Immortal Lord Eerie Creature, I have my own ways to avoid being discovered by it!"

"Besides, as long as I obtain the immortal stone mine vein, that is enough. I don't necessarily have to confront the Eerie Creature head-on!"

Before his voice had faded, a sound of gasping echoed throughout the originally bustling hall.

"Heavens, it's Su Ming! It's him again!"

"He actually dares to take the mission in the Qingming Mountains? Doesn't he know that there is at least an Eerie Creature of the Immortal Lord Realm there?"

"An Immortal Lord level Eerie Creature! Is he crazy? Does he want to die?"

"Hmph! Overestimating his capabilities! From ancient times to the present, there has never been a precedent of a Heavenly Immortal Realm cultivator defeating an Immortal Lord Realm cultivator by jumping a level!"

In the Mission Hall, everyone's gaze was focused on Su Ming.

But Su Ming seemed not to hear them, just waiting quietly for Elder Wang's reply.

Seeing Su Ming's determined attitude, Elder Wang did not try to persuade him further for a moment.

He knew that Geniuses were generally different from ordinary people; if they were the same as ordinary people, how could they stand out?

"Alright!"

"But the rules must be made clear to you in advance!"

"You can choose to keep the immortal stone mine vein you seize for yourself, or you can choose to hand it over to the Sect!"
