242: The Mystical Son

Wu Ning nodded slightly.

In reality, the reason he had rushed to Misty Immortal Abode was not to listen to the newly promoted Dao Venerable’s lecture; that held no appeal for him whatsoever.

What attracted him most about Misty Immortal Abode was actually Misty Immortal Abode itself—a super force comparable to the Wu Clan. This was an excellent place to sign in.

Wu Ning glanced at the System panel:

Remaining Sign-in Attempts: 162672

He hadn't used any of these for over a hundred years, accumulating more than fifty thousand additional sign-in opportunities, but he still needed over five hundred years to gather enough for a single Millennium Sign-in.

Currently, he could use a few Annual Sign-ins at Misty Immortal Abode. Anyway, a few more or a few less wouldn't make much difference.

Fairy Wind Caiwei led Wu Ning on a tour through the various Immortal Peaks of Misty Immortal Mountain. They visited places like the Dao Comprehension Cliff and the Trial Tower. Their unconcealed presence quickly drew the attention of countless Misty Immortal Abode Disciples.

Fairy Wind Caiwei was the Misty Saintess, the pure and inviolable Saintess in the hearts of countless Misty Immortal Abode Disciples.

Her personally accompanying a man on a tour through Misty Immortal Mountain immediately caused a huge shock to those male Disciples.

“Damn it! Who exactly is that guy, and what right does he have to be alone with our Saintess?”

“The Saintess is actually so close to him. Ahhh, why must I witness such a horrifying scene!”

“Oh no! I haven’t seen the Saintess smile so happily in a long time. Could she have a good impression of that pretty boy?”

“One quarter of an hour! I want all information on that guy!”

“Don’t stop me, I want to have a life-and-death duel with that guy, until one of us dies!”

“…”

…

Tongtian Peak, Misty Immortal Abode, within an Immortal Palace.

A servant cautiously said, “Saint, your subordinate has discovered something, and I’m not sure if I should speak of it.”

In the grand hall, a valiant young man, dressed in a golden-patterned white robe and wearing a golden crown, was wiping an Immortal Sword. Upon hearing the servant’s words, he couldn't help but frown.

“What is it? Speak.”

The servant hesitated for a moment, “Many people outside are spreading rumors that the Saintess is accompanying a strange man on a tour of the various peaks. The two of them have been talking and laughing along the way, and their relationship seems unusual.”

“After hearing about it, your subordinate personally went to see, and confirmed that it is true.”

The valiant young man stopped his movements, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. “What is that person’s identity?”

“Saint, please forgive me. I... your subordinate was in a hurry to report to you and hasn’t yet investigated that person’s identity,” the servant said tremblingly, a bead of cold sweat immediately appearing on his forehead.

“Hmph!”

“Then why aren’t you investigating now!”

The valiant young man let out a cold snort, his gaze chilling.

“Yes, your subordinate will go now!”

The servant breathed a sigh of relief and quickly retreated respectfully.

The valiant young man watched him leave, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes, and his expression turned gloomy.

He was the current Misty Saint. As the Misty Saintess, Fairy Wind Caiwei, in the eyes of many in the Immortal Abode, they were a match made in heaven, destined to become Dao Companions in the future.

He himself also believed this.

Only an outstanding and peerless woman like Fairy Wind Caiwei was worthy of him, Yun Wuji!

He had already regarded her as his woman and intended to propose to his Revered Master to become Dao Companions with her after his Breakthrough to Immortal Emperor. He would not allow anyone to covet her!

…

Amidst their cheerful conversation, Fairy Wind Caiwei unconsciously led Wu Ning to Tongtian Peak.

As the central main peak of Misty Immortal Mountain, Tongtian Peak was incredibly vast, seemingly possessing the ability to reach the heavens. Clouds and mist billowed around it, encircling countless ancient stars, like a giant sword piercing directly into the starry sky.

Looking up from the foot of the mountain towards the peak, one couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

Wu Ning’s heart stirred. This Tongtian Peak was considered the core of Misty Immortal Abode. He had been holding back from signing in earlier precisely so he could use it here on Tongtian Peak.

The more special the location, the greater the probability of signing in for more precious treasures.

He hoped this Tongtian Peak could give him some surprises.

“System, use three Annual Sign-ins for me!”

Wu Ning called out in his mind.

“Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining ten thousand chaos origin crystals!”

“Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining one Creation Saint Garment!”

“Ding, sign-in successful. Congratulations, Host, for obtaining fifty million years of Cultivation!”

The System’s mechanical voice kept ringing out.

“chaos origin crystals?”

Wu Ning felt a hint of surprise. chaos origin crystals were a rare specialty of the Chaos Sea, containing extremely vast and pure Chaos energy. They were a valuable resource for Dao-Grade powerhouses for daily Cultivation. He hadn’t expected to be able to sign them in at Misty Immortal Abode.

Ten thousand chaos origin crystals might sound like a small amount.

But one must know that chaos origin crystals were extremely rare even in the Chaos Sea. Some Lesser Extremity Dao Venerables who wandered the Chaos Sea for years might not even be able to produce ten thousand chaos origin crystals all at once, even if they were completely squeezed dry.

As for the second sign-in item, the Creation Saint Garment, it was a bit of a white elephant.

Although it was a Saint Garment equivalent to a top-grade Dao Artifact, it was merely for show.

It was a very pure robe, and besides the most basic functions like transformation, defense, and dust-repelling, it had no special abilities whatsoever.

The third sign-in of fifty million years of Cultivation was within Wu Ning’s expectations.

Wu Ning thought to himself, this was probably the limit for Annual Sign-ins. Perhaps he would need to sign in at Heaven Overlord-level forces to see an improvement.

He glanced at his accumulated sign-in rewards. Last time at Tianxu Ancient Land, he still had sixty million years of sign-in Cultivation that hadn't been extracted. Adding these fifty million years, he now had one hundred and ten million years of sign-in Cultivation.

These should not be enough to allow him to directly Breakthrough to Middle Extremity.

It was extremely difficult to continue advancing in the Dao Lord Realm. The difficulty of advancing from Lesser Extremity to Greater Extremity was no less than that of advancing from Immortal Emperor to Dao Lord. Spending a billion years was a very common occurrence.

However, he had fused with a Great Dao Heavenly Embryo, and his Dao Body had comprehended the Great Dao runes on those golden obelisks in the Virtual God Realm for over a hundred years. Now, with ten thousand chaos origin crystals, he should not be far from advancing to Middle Extremity.

Wu Ning pondered for a moment, intending to go into seclusion for a Breakthrough after returning to his clan this time.

“Dao Child…”

At this moment, Fairy Wind Caiwei gently called out to him, then pointed to a bright, shimmering, hazy immortal path ahead and said, “This is our Misty Immortal Abode’s Three Lives Road.”

“Step onto the Three Lives Road, and as you walk forward, you can revisit your past lives.”

“One step, one life; one thought, one existence.”

“Dao Child, would you like to try it?”

Fairy Wind Caiwei said softly.

“One step, one life; one thought, one existence…” Wu Ning looked at the Three Lives Road, which was enveloped by a mysterious power, a hint of interest appearing in his eyes.

Swish! Swish!

Just then, several young men and women with extraordinary Auras appeared before the two of them.

“Saintess, the Three Lives Road is an important area of our Immortal Abode. Bringing an outsider in so casually might be inappropriate…”

The handsome man leading them smiled gently. His gaze fell on Fairy Wind Caiwei, seemingly disdaining Wu Ning beside her.
