Chapter 264

Turn off the identity device.

Jiang Jian's gaze lowered slightly as he looked at the silk in his hand.

This item was something Shen Xi had personally ordered the puppet spirit to deliver to him.

The fabric was soft and felt cold to the touch.

A few lines of small characters were clearly written upon it.

"By the decree of the Sovereign of Chang'an."

"Jiang Jian of the Surface Realm is hereby appointed as an official of the Star-Governing Palace."

"He shall serve as the Border-Patrolling Envoy of the Guanxi Pavilion in the Earth's Surface Realm."

The silk emitted a faint light and gradually became transparent.

A few seconds later.

It completely dissipated and merged into the identity device.

The miniature array within it was activated directly!

Hum!

The transparent wristwatch vibrated continuously, emitting a humming sound.

Notification sounds rang out one after another.

Clearly, the identity device was upgrading.

The Star-Governing Palace spanned two major planets, and its overall structure was extremely vast.

The Guanxi Pavilion, to which Jiang Jian was appointed, was one of the institutions established by the Star-Governing Palace on Earth's surface.

Shen Xi was the very Master of the Guanxi Pavilion!

To compensate Jiang Jian for not receiving Level 6 treatment,

he had specifically submitted an application to the Tianjing Yamen.

He had made an exception to appoint Jiang Jian as the Border-Patrolling Envoy of the Guanxi Pavilion, granting him immense authority in the Surface Realm!

Most importantly.

Once Jiang Jian took office, he could directly utilize the treasures allocated by the authorities as well as the core Earth resources managed by the Guanxi Pavilion, thanks to his status as a Border-Patrolling Envoy!

Clang!

Suddenly, a harsh metallic jamming sound rang out.

"Star-Governing Palace appointment document, execution failed!"

"Identity device upgrade failed!"

Crack!

A snapping sound echoed.

Streams of light escaped from Jiang Jian's identity device, shattering like glass and annihilating in the wind.

"Is it because my cultivation hasn't reached the Divine Palace Realm?"

Looking at the identity device.

Jiang Jian frowned slightly.

He swiped his finger to open the device and checked the information column.

Sure enough, behind his name, he saw a line of dark gold characters.

"Star-Governing Palace, Earth Surface Realm, Guanxi Pavilion Border-Patrolling Envoy."

This line of text looked very dim.

Clearly, it had not been truly activated.

Suddenly.

The real-time communication rang.

Jiang Jian took a look and found it was a call from Shen Xi.

He swiped the screen to accept the call.

"I have already formally submitted the matter of transporting the World Origin and breaking the portal ahead of schedule, and I have obtained the support of a True Monarch."

Shen Xi did not beat around the bush and spoke directly, "The Surface Realm Guanxi Pavilion has accepted the official mission."

"As the Favored One of Yinshan, you are the only person at this moment who can leave the Nine-Layer Realm."

"As long as you deliver the piece of World Origin I retrieved to the Yingtian Division of Chang'an Prefecture,"

"the Tianjing Hub will be able to lock onto the accurate coordinates and immediately take action to break the world portal!"

Clearly.

Shen Xi had already noticed that Jiang Jian had left the Realm-Breaking Palace and taken the identity device.

That was why he had called to arrange the transport of the World Origin.

"I failed to break through the realm."

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment before saying softly.

Upon hearing this.

The other side of the communication went quiet.

A few seconds later.

Shen Xi said in a deep voice: "When a realm breakthrough fails, the Star Universe rules will backlash against the self."

"You actually managed to endure it without dying."

"This is enough to prove that your cultivation foundation is fully capable of achieving a peerless Divine Palace!"

He did not ask for the reason for the failure, nor did he blame him.

Instead, he offered much praise to Jiang Jian.

"As long as you are not dead, there is still a chance."

Shen Xi spoke again, "Before you have absolute certainty, do not attempt to break through the realm again. You are now an official of the Star-Governing Palace, and your status is precious; you must not suffer any mishaps."

Jiang Jian nodded and said: "The reasons for the failure are complex; I do indeed need to sort them out properly."

Shen Xi said: "Regardless, the matter of transporting the World Origin cannot be delayed any longer."

"The Chang'an Prefecture Nine-Layer Realm encompasses almost half of the top forces in the Surface Realm."

"These living beings are all trapped inside and cannot get out at all."

Speaking of this, his tone became low, "There is something you might not know."

"Ever since I submitted this plan and obtained the affirmation of a True Monarch,"

"there are at least eight hundred, if not a thousand, Divine Palace Realm experts who know about this."

"They are all waiting."

"Waiting for you to come out of the Realm-Breaking Palace, borrow the path of Yinshan, leave the Second-Layer Realm, and head to the Surface Realm."

Suddenly.

Beside Jiang Jian.

The projection of the Guiding Envoy appeared and spoke eerily: "The Yinshan Wonder Realm is constantly in motion and is moving further and further away from Chang'an Prefecture. It is about to rotate to the back of the Earth. If you delay any longer, you won't be able to return to Yinshan."

Jiang Jian's gaze narrowed slightly, and he replied: "I understand."

On the other side of the communication.

Shen Xi could not hear the Guiding Envoy's voice.

But he could vaguely sense the change in Jiang Jian's tone.

"Jiang Jian, if possible."

"I hope you can go to Yinshan quickly, head to the Surface Realm, and deliver the item."

"If you can break the world portal ahead of schedule,"

"you shall be credited with the primary merit."

After saying this.

Shen Xi's expression was cold and stern; he said no more and hung up the communication directly.

From beginning to end, he had not used a commanding tone.

Because Shen Xi himself was a peerless genius with a proud and aloof personality.

When he was young, he was forced to join the Earth Alliance and hold an official position, and he had always been disdainful of the bossy behavior of those high-ranking officials.

Now.

Although Shen Xi had profound cultivation and held a high position, he still maintained his original intention and had not become the person he once loathed.

Jiang Jian did not have any ill feelings toward Shen Xi either.

On the contrary.

Jiang Jian guessed a little about his true intentions and felt some understanding in his heart.

"Shen Xi has been guarding the Second-Layer Realm for a hundred years."

"His true schemes must be extremely deep."

"It is definitely not as simple as mere romantic entanglements."

While pondering.

Jiang Jian vaguely sensed.

Shen Xi had been lurking here, laying out plans for a long time.

Once his schemes erupted, he would instantly soar to the heavens and shock everyone!

This time.

Regarding breaking the world portal and leaving the Second-Layer Realm ahead of schedule,

Shen Xi's attitude was somewhat urgent.

Jiang Jian did not believe at all that Shen Xi's purpose was merely to support the Moon Realm.

The attack of Mercury on the Moon was still in the probing stage.

Although the Moon Realm barrier had shattered not long ago, causing a great shock on Earth.

But looking at it now.

The actions of the Demon Monarch Baxia were somewhat like loud thunder but small raindrops, with no major subsequent movements.

At least at this very moment.

The pressure faced by the four realms of Earth and Moon was not significant.

Jiang Jian made up his mind, put away the identity device, and looked at the Guiding Envoy beside him.

"It is time to return to Yinshan."
