Chapter 231

Ningruo was after all the creator of the 'Ascension Project,' so she should be informed.

The Fugitive Laozu: "Ningruo, there's something I think I should tell you."

The Fugitive Laozu: "While organizing the world coordinates left by Yuan, I discovered a peculiar world coordinate."

The Fugitive Laozu: "Then I sent a fragment of my soul, carrying the Moonshadow Sword Intent, to that world—but found its situation far from simple."

The Fugitive Laozu: "I think it's time to inform the other Daoists as well."

After sending three consecutive messages, Xu Xing waited a while.

Ning: "Wait a moment."

Soon, Ningruo initiated a video call.

Indeed, explaining this way is more convenient.

Xu Xing chose to accept the call.

Then her face appeared on the screen, her eyes still bright, a faint smile on her lips.

"What is it, Xu Dage?" Ningruo's voice was light and cheerful.

Yet she was nothing like the terse tone she used when texting.

Bie Xuening, by contrast, was usually cold and distant in person, only revealing her true nature online.

"Not long ago, I arrived at Qingxu and found Yuan's laboratory, which contained numerous world coordinates."

"One of these worlds—Yuan was injured during his exploration—so I became curious..."

Xu Xing briefly explained to Ningruo everything about the Beast God Realm.

The Beast God Realm's Hun Tian Yi, which had invaded the Beast God's essence; the fused entity known as 'Tianyi Immortal'; the condition of the human race within the Beast God Realm...

After hearing all this, Ningruo frowned and fell silent for a long while.

"What about the other worlds?"

"I deployed two Ascension Platforms to two Void-Return-level worlds; those two worlds had no issues."

After thinking for a while longer, Ningruo smiled and said: "Do as you see fit, Xu Dage—after all, this was meant to be shared with several Daoists anyway."

I only held off at first, fearing it might all end in vain and waste everyone's effort and attention.

"Hmm, good then."

Afterward, the two briefly exchanged updates on the status of the two Void-Return-level worlds and the Ascension Platform's parameter settings before ending the call.

Thinking it over, Xu Xing then called another person in the know—his senior sister.

This time it was simple: she listened to him, asked no further questions, and ended the call.

"Alright, that's enough."

Xu Xing rose from his chair.

This time, the ones to notify weren't just a few Daoists on the Central Continent; he wouldn't post in the Boss Group.

Just as Xu Xing was about to speak, a cold voice suddenly sounded in his ear.

"Master, I think you should inform Xiang Yuanjun as well."

It was Yueying speaking to remind him.

Xu Xing paused.

"You're right."

Xiang Yuanjun's mastery of the Dao of Cause and Effect is unparalleled; she must be among those involved in this Beast God Realm affair—better to inform her ahead of time.

Yueying watched as Xu Xing took out his phone again, said nothing, lowered her gaze, her red eyeshadow dimmed by the pale blue glow emitted by the Jieyan Yi.

Not long after, Xu Xing ended the video call with Xiang Yuanjun.

He walked to the Jieyan Yi and looked upward.

His gaze seemed to pierce through layers of obstruction, reaching beyond Qingxu.

"Fellow Daoists, listen to me."

His voice was clear, neither loud nor soft, yet echoing in all directions, subtly stirring all things in the cosmos.

The constantly rotating rune pathways seemed to pause for an instant, then resumed their spin...

Beyond Qingxu, atop the towering vertical cliff, countless figures stretched as far as the eye could see.

On that day, after all explorers inside Qingxu were expelled, not everyone left—some remained, watching from outside Qingxu.

Others attempted to re-enter Qingxu.

But the moment they fell into the gray-black mist sea, they were forcibly returned to the cliff's edge.

As if Qingxu itself had changed, refusing entry to outsiders.

Such anomalies drew the attention of certain special beings.

"Thirty-seventh attempt to enter Qingxu—meimei da!"

A sultry, melodious voice rang out.

The woman had an exquisite face, a tight leather suit accentuating her fiery curves, with strategically torn sections revealing large patches of pale skin.

!. du

And various recording devices floating beside her...

She was a Hehuan Sect charm cultivator!

With this much attention, how could a Hehuan Sect charm cultivator possibly miss it?

Not just her—everywhere along the cliff, beautiful figures could be seen.

Plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum—each with her own distinct charm.

And their cultivation levels were at least Soul Transformation, their charm arts masterful, every movement radiating boundless allure.

After all, this was Qingxu—no matter how safe it seemed now, those below Soul Transformation were better off staying away.

This is a special notice issued by the Zong Sect's leader!

Could it be that many explorers have not left precisely because of this, just a little bit?

Just as this charm cultivator finished tying ropes to herself, preparing to slowly descend and grab a massive wave of viewership.

Splash!

Sudden cries of shock rose from all around, countless "Wocao!" exclamations flooding the live stream's comments, all urging her to turn around and look.

Hm?

What happened?

Because this was Qing Xu, she dared not extend her spiritual sense, but turned around to look.

Yet what she saw made her pupils instantly dilate, her glossy red lips slightly parting—she was utterly stunned.

Below the cliff, the boundless mist sea that had shrouded Qing Xu for years now churned violently, as if a giant invisible hand had torn open a gray-black curtain.

It was as if something of immense weight had plunged into the endless gray-black mist sea, forcibly crushing and pushing the mist aside.

Strange beasts that had dwelled in the mist for years, suddenly exposed to sunlight, let out anxious roars and shrieks, scattering in all directions.

But they did not flee far before exploding one after another, like water balloons pierced.

Auspicious light flowed, divine radiance surged.

Sacred fruits, spiritual herbs, divine metals, and precious ores were now starkly exposed.

Many stared, eyes fixed.

If only one could get hold of those…

But the sight of those beasts exploding moments ago was far too terrifying—no one dared move.

And at the very center of all this abnormality stood the "Return Home" Lab.

Xu Xing stood before the Jie Yan Device, feeling countless gazes fall upon him.

Because Xu Xing's notice had come so suddenly, the Immortals could only cast their gazes from afar toward Qing Xu.

But the gaze imbued with True Immortal power—how terrifying—could a single layer of mist shrouding Qing Xu possibly block?

"Beasts of all kinds, no matter how many times, remain utterly repulsive!"

A familiar voice came—but no longer as gentle as before.

Huo!

Among the Immortals, none hated beasts more than him; all beast clans above the Union Dao stage in the Xuan Realm had been slaughtered by his hand.

As for those below the Union Dao stage, if he encountered them, he would not hesitate to crush them between his fingers.

"Brother Dao, why have you summoned us here?"

"Not yet," Xu Xing said coolly. "Wait until all my fellow Daoists have arrived, then I will explain everything at once."

Such a commotion—I refuse to believe I won't lure out some fool. (End of Chapter)
