28: Relics of Xiuxian Dynasty

Ignoring everyone's astonishment, Meng Yun's expression remained unchanged: "Yes, Director, I am a Nascent Soul."

"Meng, no, Brother Meng, didn't we just meet? You were still in the Golden Core stage then!" Sun Liang didn't understand, but he was greatly shocked.

"I broke through after lying down at home for a while," Meng Yun said, spreading his hands.

Is that even human speech?

Sun Liang was speechless.

If he had known Meng Yun was so strong, he wouldn't have gone head-to-head with Qian Lai.

Zhou Yinhe slowly nodded: "It seems my perception was correct. You are indeed in the Nascent Soul Realm."

He added: "May I ask, how old are you this year?"

"Nineteen."

A collective gasp of cold air echoed throughout the room again.

A nineteen-year-old Nascent Soul—there wasn't a second one in the entire Cloud Sea!

Forget the entire Cloud Sea, even looking at Blue Star, it might be unique!

Even in immortal cultivation dynasties, based on investigations from the ruins, those who could break through to the Nascent Soul Realm before the age of twenty were extremely rare, and all of them were prodigies!

And such individuals, once they truly matured, would invariably become powerful figures!

Thinking of this possibility, everyone's gaze towards Meng Yun couldn't help but fill with a burning intensity.

The Nascent Soul Realm was enough to qualify one as a branch director, a respected figure wherever they went!

Meng Yun was not yet fully developed; if they didn't befriend him now, when would they?

Zhou Yinhe's eyes narrowed slightly, then he looked at Meng Yun solemnly and extended an invitation:

"Meng Yun, your strength and potential are unparalleled. I will apply to the higher-ups to provide you with the top-tier cultivation plan, but at the same time, you must actively participate in official operations. Do you have any objections?"

Meng Yun pondered for a moment, then slowly nodded: "That's reasonable."

Zhou Yinhe smiled and nodded, seeing Meng Yun's understanding: "In that case, there happen to be two newly discovered historical rifts right now. One is the ruins of an immortal cultivation dynasty. The other is the ruins of an Arcane system filled with strange flames."

"However, I suggest focusing on the immortal cultivation dynasty ruins."

"Because it involves immortal cultivation, the energy fluctuations in the ruins are extremely strong, and the exploration difficulty is very high. Only those with strength at least at the late Golden Core stage can explore it."

"Your strength surprises me. I wonder if you are interested in exploring the ruins?"

"Arcane system, and immortal cultivation dynasty ruins?" Meng Yun felt a bit lost, as he had only become an ability user for one day, and his knowledge was truly limited.

Zhou Yinhe didn't mind and explained in detail to Meng Yun: "To be precise, this is a corner of a ruin from a certain immortal cultivation world, named Tianjian Dynasty. According to our investigation, a legendary spiritual artifact, named Dharma Banishment, should be hidden inside."

As for the Arcane system, Zhou Yinhe believed Meng Yun would not be interested, so he decided not to introduce it further.

"Tianjian Dynasty, Demon Subduing Sword?" Meng Yun was greatly astonished.

Isn't Demon Subduing Swordplay the unique divine skill Meng Yun himself mastered for slaying demonic seeds?

What in the world is this Demon Subduing Sword?

Could there be some connection between the two?

But the world where he comprehended Demon Subduing Swordplay was indeed a low-magic world, with no cultivators at all?

Numerous doubts flashed through Meng Yun's mind. He felt that this so-called Tianjian Dynasty seemed to be worth visiting.

"That... if I find the Demon Subduing Sword, can I keep it for myself?" Meng Yun asked shamelessly.

"Haha, treasures always belong to the capable. If you can find the Demon Subduing Sword and successfully control it, then it will naturally be yours," Zhou Yinhe laughed heartily.

This Meng Yun was indeed someone who wouldn't act without benefit.

But that was fine, much better than being completely without desires. Those extremely indifferent ability users were the most terrifying dangerous elements.

"Alright, then count me in for this dynasty. Thank you, Director Zhou, for your support," Meng Yun nodded.

"Strength is king, that's all. If you want to thank someone, thank yourself," Zhou Yinhe was very satisfied with the result: "I'll send you the relevant information later. We'll set off to enter the ruins in the next two days."

Zhou Yinhe left in a hurry. After Meng Yun chatted with Sun Liang for a while and entrusted him to help collect the debt from Qian Lai, promising a 20/80 split, he gracefully departed.

Sun Liang watched Meng Yun's retreating figure, filled with emotion.

He retracted his gaze, only to see all his colleagues staring at him with fervent eyes.

Sun Liang: ?

"Sun Tou'er, you've found a powerful backer and are prospering, don't forget us brothers!"

"Yes, yes, Sun Tou'er! Take me with you!"

...

Not long after, Meng Yun's account received five million, plus fifty thousand contribution points. This was the new salary for the Nascent Soul Realm, five times more than the Golden Core stage.

But Meng Yun knew this was just the beginning. The top-tier cultivation plan promised by Zhou Yinhe was still pending application.

The big things were still to come; he just had to wait.

Holding the tablet provided by the 654 Bureau, Meng Yun logged into his account and was surprised to find several emails.

Ignoring emails like theBeginner's Guide (Newbie Guide), Meng Yun directly opened the information about the Tianjian Dynasty sent by Zhou Yinhe.

[Tianjian Dynasty, Code A114, Top Combat Power: Integration Realm]

The Tianjian Dynasty was a dynasty belonging to a certain top immortal cultivation world, which fell into disrepair for unknown reasons.

Legend has it that the dynasty was an affiliated force of the Linglong Empress...

It is rumored that there is a supreme treasure, the Demon Subduing Sword, held by successive rulers of the dynasty...

The combat level of this ruin is relatively high; the minimum entry requirement is peak Golden Core...

In a short time, Meng Yun finished reading the information about the ruins.

Some of the information caught his attention.

Linglong Empress...

It's probably just a coincidence of names, right?

This made Meng Yun think of his little white fox, Linglong.

He wondered how it was doing later; it should be able to live with Wu Yinyao forever.

Following Wu Yinyao, its life would surely be wonderful.

Thinking of Linglong, a warm smile unconsciously curved Meng Yun's lips.

In the last simulation, due to being a Sky Fiend Lone Star, he didn't form deep relationships with anyone.

The only one who could comfort him was this little fox that always nestled in his arms.

Hopefully, it was doing well.

Two days passed in a flash.

Of course, Meng Yun wasn't idle during these two days. He finally moved out of his small dilapidated house where he had lived for many years and temporarily rented a two-story house.

The house also had a courtyard outside, and Meng Yun felt the price was right, so he rented it.

The landlord was currently out of town, so the contract signing was done online.

After Meng Yun tidied up, he didn't receive Qian Lai's spirit stones, but he did receive Zhou Yinhe's invitation to depart.

After replying to him, Meng Yun went to the courtyard, leaped up, and disappeared into the sky.

Before long, Meng Yun arrived at the 654 Bureau. After showing his identification, he skillfully made his way to the underground.

It was still the familiar rocky cavern, with some researchers around, nervously adjusting equipment parameters.

"Alright, the anchor point has been aligned, and the Truth Gate to the Tianjian Dynasty ruins has been opened!" a researcher announced.

Meng Yun stepped forward to the gate, where Zhou Yinhe and several other figures were already waiting.

"Meng Yun, you're here," Zhou Yinhe said with a smile, turning to greet Meng Yun.

"Director Zhou," Meng Yun nodded faintly.

Just then, an untimely sneer sounded.

"Tsk, who is it, I wonder? A mere youth, yet he dares to arrive just on time."

"Exactly, so disrespectful, truly thinks he's someone important..."

"You're the first one to dare to make Miss Jing wait."

Meng Yun followed the sound and saw several figures, currently surrounding a white-clad young woman like stars around the moon. Seeing Meng Yun's late arrival, someone couldn't help but mock him.

Presumably, this young woman who didn't even look at him was the Miss Jing they spoke of.

Wherever there are beautiful women, there will always be some imbeciles.

Meng Yun's face was expressionless, and the aura belonging to the Nascent Soul Realm instantly swept out.

The young people who had spoken disrespectfully all looked terrified, gazing at Meng Yun with ashen faces.

This young man, who looked no older than twenty, was a Nascent Soul?

He was actually a Nascent Soul?

Even Miss Jing herself, at this moment, turned her face slowly, filled with curiosity.
