Chapter 54: Two Squads Return: Nvwa and Wuyou

The Ninth Main God Palace.

Yinglong’s eyes flickered as she stared at the star map in the void, the dot representing the Yin-Yang Universe flickering in and out of visibility.

When the Yin-Yang Daoist used the primordial treasure Taiji Diagram to disrupt spacetime and turn the entire universe into a great crucible, the Main God Palace severed its connection to the Yin-Yang Universe.

“What a massive pit this is!” Inside the central glowing orb of the Main God Palace, the [Main God] Yinglong held the Cangxuan Pearl.

The Yin-Yang Universe was a world the Dragon Clan had only recently discovered; several squads sent in for training had all been wiped out.

“I never expected that even with the Dawn Squad and the Jiuge Squad here, they’d still be wiped out in one go?” Yinglong’s expression turned regretful.

The Dawn Squad and the Jiuge Squad were the Ninth Main God Palace’s elite; she had high hopes for them.

The reason was simple.

Other squads all had some traceable origins, but these two squads left Yinglong utterly clueless.

Yet based on their past mission records, Yinglong was virtually certain they weren’t here to cause trouble—they truly followed the rules and genuinely contributed to the Main God Palace.

So Yinglong chose to ignore it, pretending she didn’t know other Daoists had entered.

Missions were issued abnormally, rewards still given as usual.

Both sides cooperated perfectly.

After all, for the Dragon Clan, the Main God Palace was merely a tool to advance their grand plan.

But as long as no one deliberately caused trouble or targeted the Dragon Clan, they had no objection to other deities coming for amusement.

It was simply treated as an entertainment platform.

Everyone was here to have fun; the goal was simply joy.

No one should make things hard for another; everyone benefits.

This way, Daoists enjoy themselves, and the Dragon Clan profits with peace of mind.

It was a perfect win-win.

But she never expected the Yin-Yang Universe’s pit to be this deep, trapping both of her most favored squads at once.

“Actually, the Wuchang Squad isn’t bad either—they’re probably another Daoist here for fun.”

Sensing the Yin-Yang Universe was showing signs of collapse, as if the entire world were heading toward destruction.

Yinglong guessed Xiang Xuanqing and the others were beyond saving.

“Luckily, I held back a trick this time—they descended via possession, so there’s still a chance to pull them back.”

The moment the Yin-Yang Daoist began re-refining Yin and Yang, the dot representing the Yin-Yang Universe in the star map dimmed completely.

Yinglong knew it was time to act and retrieve them.

She gripped the Cangxuan Pearl and announced in a cold, mechanical tone:

“Mission World: Yin-Yang Universe.”

“Main Objective: Reverse Yin and Yang.”

“Mission status for the Wuchang Squad, Jiuge Squad, and Dawn Squad… hmm?”

Yinglong’s gaze returned to the star map—the Yin-Yang Universe, just moments ago dimmed, suddenly flickered back to life, its glow intensifying.

The Main God Palace reestablished its connection to the Yin-Yang Universe.

A smile appeared on Yinglong’s face.

“Mission completed successfully. Squads returning.”

“We’re coming back already?”

Inside the Main God Palace, light began to rise.

Minghe glanced around—no more, no less—exactly seven.

“Everything’s been arranged. Why stay any longer in the Yin-Yang Universe?” Xiang Xuanqing stretched comfortably, rolling his neck.

After killing the Yin-Yang Daoist, they had jointly repaired the shattered Yin-Yang Universe.

Simultaneously, they subtly refined the world’s laws, improving the cultivation environment of this universe.

After all, although the Black-and-White List had been a trap, it had objectively raised the universe’s upper limit and promoted the emergence of high-level cultivators.

Now that the Black-and-White List was gone, they couldn’t let the universe’s sentient beings regress further, could they?

Zhenyuanzi resettled the universe’s sentient beings.

He then altered everyone’s memories of this battle.

Finally, he left behind a legend of ascension.

Everything was more or less in place.

Moreover, this journey brought Xiang Xuanqing considerable gains.

Li Ming had slain the Yin-Yang Daoist once.

It was an indirect revenge for Minghe’s previous betrayal.

He also harvested the primordial Yin and Yang energies from the Taiji Diagram.

More importantly, Xiang Xuanqing had met two new Daoist friends.

“Captain, I got so many merit points—thirty thousand in total!”

Ruoxi’s eyes sparkled with delight as she looked up at Xiang Xuanqing, beaming with a radiant smile.

“How many merit points did you get, Captain?”

“Me?”

Xiang Xuanqing’s vision filled with Daoist script.

“Fifty thousand merit points, plus some spiritual materials… uh, why is there an egg?” “An egg?” Ruoxi was curious.

Then, a golden, shimmering egg appeared in Xiang Xuanqing’s hand.

“Why doesn’t it say what kind of egg it is?”

Xiang Xuanqing stared at the golden egg in his hand—it was a special reward from the Main God, labeled simply “an egg.”

Inside the golden egg, chaos swirled; even Xiang Xuanqing couldn’t determine its origin.

Li Ming also received his reward.

In his hand appeared a green seed.

It too was a special reward.

Seeing Xiang Xuanqing’s confusion, Li Ming explained: “This is a signature feature of the Main God Palace—after completing a high-difficulty mission, the Main God grants each squad leader a mysterious reward.”

“These are likely creations of the Main God, capable of yielding strange and unusual items.”

“Take this golden egg back and hatch it—there might be a surprise.”

As Li Ming uttered the word “surprise,” Xiang Xuanqing sharply noticed a flicker of malicious glee in his expression.

At that moment, Zhenyuanzi’s hand also revealed his special reward—a black gourd.

“Huh? Another black gourd?” Zhenyuanzi frowned, as if recalling unpleasant memories.

Clearly, this wasn’t the first time Zhenyuanzi had received such a reward.

He turned to Da Siming with an earnest gaze: “Daoist, I already got one last time—how about I give this one to you?”

“Since it’s a reward meant for you, you should keep it well,” Da Siming replied with a faint smile, declining politely.

Zhenyuanzi turned to Hongyun.

Hongyun stood sideways to him, eyes fixed on the great pillar inside the Main God Palace, feigning keen interest.

He seemed determined to find flowers in the pillar.

Seeing this, Zhenyuanzi could only reluctantly accept it.

“If black is bad, then gold must be good,” Xiang Xuanqing muttered to himself—he’d always had good luck.

Gold meant a legendary creature.

Yes, it must be!

The Vast Illusory World.

Meng Wuyou, separated from Xiang Xuanqing and the others, was on a mission in this world.

After discovering that the Main God of the Ninth Main God Palace was Danxiao Yinglong, one of the Nine Celestial Spheres, she decisively switched locations and went to the Sixth Main God Palace.

There, Meng Wuyou encountered Nvwa.

Or rather, the Myth Squad member—Feng Lixi.

"You've already obtained the Divine Execution Order?"

Before a grand tomb on the Central Mountain Range.

Meng Wuyou and Nvwa met again.

“Naturally.”

Nvwa smiled warmly at Meng Wuyou.

“Why does every time you see me, you look like you’re trying to keep me at arm’s length?”

“Every time? We’ve only just met, Daoist Feng Lixi.”

Meng Wuyou replied indifferently: “Are you forgetting something?”

“No, no, no—my memory is excellent.”

Nvwa shook her head: “For instance, on Su Guang’s Field, a certain deity had seven items stolen in a row.”

“I remember that incident vividly, every moment.”

“Oh? Really?”

Meng Wuyou spoke lightly: “Then do you remember the Dream of a Thousand Autumns over three thousand years?”

“Hmm, that one? Of course I remember.”

Nüwa’s smile did not fade. “How could I forget such a momentous event that forged such a deep friendship between you and me?”

“Indeed, friendship is truly profound.”

Meng Wuyou also smiled.

【So terrifying】

Behind Meng Wuyou, a shy young man shrank his head.

This was Wang Chuan.

Not far from him, a refined deity casually admired the scenery.

“What a breathtakingly beautiful world this is!”
