189: Doing a mission?!

After finishing the three tasks he had set, Chu Yuan planned to go find Shangguan Xinglan again.

Could he obtain the Legacy of a Divine-Grade Artifact Refiner?

After all, he had promised Ye Qingyi and Bai Zhi, so he naturally could not break his word.

Chu Yuan shook his head slightly, sinking his consciousness into the primal origin space, and strengthening the Spirit Venerable Realm volume of the Heavenly Revelation Spirit Cultivation Art Cultivation Technique to its limit.

Immediately, he began to comprehend... Tianxuan Divine Continent.

In a certain underground space, four mysterious figures gathered.

"The dark demon sword fiend might have been found."

The Black-Robed Figure said coldly, "That brat caused us significant losses and even got our Demon God Cult headquarters wiped out. What are your plans?"

"Are you saying that the dark demon sword fiend brat is Chu Yuan of the Xuantian Sect?"

The red-robed figure's voice was full of shock and doubt, "It shouldn't be him, right?"

"This Venerable One thinks it's highly possible." The gray-robed figure spoke, "Generally speaking, those in the Spirit Soul Realm cannot enter the Xuanhong Secret Realm, and the four of us paid a considerable price back then."

"But the dark demon sword fiend brat slaughtered people from our four Cults, so it's very likely that the white Yao Beast in his arms did it."

"Have you forgotten that the Yao God Bai Zhi is rumored to have been brought out from the Secret Realm?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of the crowd flickered.

"If you put it that way, it's highly probable that it's him. After all, Shangguan Xinglan said that Chu Yuan is proficient in Ice Spirit Skill, and so is the dark demon sword fiend."

The gray-robed figure spoke, but then changed the subject, saying gloomily, "But Chu Yuan is backed by three God Realm experts: Ming Ye Ghost God, Bai Zhi, and Shangguan Xinglan. Furthermore, Nether Night is rumored to have taken on three Great Ghost Gods as servants. Are you sure you want to make a move?"

As soon as these words came out, the scene instantly fell silent.

After a long time, the Black-Robed Figure spoke coldly, "What are you afraid of? Our four Cults are opposed to the Human Race. Have we faced few God Realm experts before?"

The three people remained silent.

After a long time, the gray-robed figure said, "This matter involves Ghost Gods. My Ghost God Sect concedes defeat!"

As he finished speaking, his figure vanished.

Seeing this, the Black-Robed Figure's expression turned cold, and he looked towards the other two.

"That brat is extremely wicked. If we don't eliminate him, we won't know whose headquarters will be wiped out next."

Hearing this, the two figures who had intended to leave paused.

After a moment of silence, the red-robed figure sighed softly and said, "Find a way to lure him away from the Xuantian Sect. This Venerable One will ask someone to hold back Bai Zhi and Nether Night."

The green-robed figure said, "Then I will ask someone to hold back the three Ghost Gods of the Ghost Fiend Nether Abyss. You figure out the rest yourself."

"Alright, wait for my news."

The Black-Robed Figure nodded, and immediately the three figures vanished, as if they had never appeared. Chu Yuan naturally did not know that someone was planning to target him. Of course, even if he did, it would not matter.

At this moment, after two days, he had finally mastered the Spirit Venerable Realm Cultivation Technique of the Heavenly Revelation Secret Codex.

Incidentally, he entered the Inheritance Space, completed the seventh-rank Alchemy trial, and obtained the Legacy knowledge for eighth-rank Alchemy.

The flow of time in the Inheritance Space was very fast, so it did not waste much of his time.

"Next, we'll see how many surprises Duanmu Shenfeng can provide."

Chu Yuan muttered, took out the silver-white sumeru ring, and used his Divine Thought to retrieve the ancient texts he had not yet looked at.

There were not many.

Only three books, plus one Formation diagram.

One book contained records of more than a dozen eighth-rank Spirit materials, one contained records of basic runes for eighth-rank Formation, and the last was Duanmu Shenfeng's insights on setting up eighth-rank Formations.

They were all quite thin. He wondered if he could rely on these to become an eighth-rank Formation Master?

Although Chu Yuan felt it was a long shot, considering the existence of the primal divine crystal, it did not seem entirely impossible.

Looking at the Formation diagram again, it was the eighth-rank Formation, Seven Star Slaying Yao Formation!

"Study it first!"

Chu Yuan did not overthink it, immediately starting to copy it, and then using the primal divine crystal to assist his learning.

Another three days passed.

As soon as Chu Yuan finished his seclusion, he saw Su Yao and Han Linger waiting outside the courtyard.

"Junior Brother, you've finally finished your seclusion."

Seeing Chu Yuan, Su Yao sighed slightly in relief and smiled.

"Senior Sister, what's wrong?" Chu Yuan asked curiously.

Su Yao shook her head, her tone slightly helpless, "Junior Brother should know that the Sect gives mission quotas to the Disciples of each peak every year. This year's assessment is about to begin, but our Ziyan Peak Personal Disciple group is still quite short."

"If we fail the assessment, Ziyan Peak's resources will be reduced by one-fifth."

Chu Yuan raised an eyebrow slightly, "That's reasonable. How much are we short, and what do we need to do?"

Su Yao shook her head, "We're still quite short, but completing one sixth-level mission will meet the standard. So I have already accepted one."

"I originally planned to go alone if you hadn't come out of seclusion."

"But since you're out now, if you go with me, I'll be more confident."

Chu Yuan nodded, "What exactly is the mission, and are there any other rules?"

"A sixth-tier Yao Beast at the Perfection of the Emperor Realm has appeared in the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. To prevent its strength from Breaking through to the seventh tier, we need to go and slay it."

Su Yao said with a serious expression, "As for the mission rules, experts above the Spirit Venerable Realm in the Sect are not allowed to interfere."

Chu Yuan frowned slightly, "That doesn't seem right. What if seventh-tier members of the Yao Race or people from the Four Great Evil Cults make a move?"

"Don't worry!"

Su Yao smiled confidently, "When Xuantian Sect Disciples take on missions of the fourth level or higher, an expert one level higher from their peak will secretly provide protection. This time, I specifically asked Revered Master to leave seclusion, so there won't be any problems."

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked, "Senior Sister, can we use external help to complete it? For example, asking experts outside the Sect to help complete it."

"No!"

Su Yao shook her head, "Sect missions are inherently for the tempering of Disciples. If we complete the mission by relying on others, it loses its meaning, and the Sect does not permit it."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan wasn't exactly disappointed. He pondered, "Alright, then I will go with Senior Sister."

"Great!"

Su Yao nodded, her eyes smiling, "Then let's go quickly!"

Chu Yuan nodded, but said, "I'll notify Little Bai and Sister Qingyi first."

"You can." Su Yao nodded, "But you must tell them that they should stay close to Revered Master and not appear within a hundred miles of us."

"Otherwise, a faint wisp of their aura would be enough to make that Yao Emperor flee."

"Understood!"

Chu Yuan nodded, sent a message to notify the two of them, and then left with Su Yao.

"Senior Brother, Senior Sister, please be careful on your journey."

Han Linger watched the two leave on their swords, feeling a little disappointed.

"I must become stronger so I can go with Senior Brother next time."

Han Linger clenched her small fists. "I'll continue to Cultivate. When Senior Brother returns, I'll ask for a spirit transformation pill and directly Break through to the Spirit Crystal Realm."

Having said that, she turned and left.
