"Palm."
Qin Yiyao stood up and said respectfully.
Ling Xuzi waved his hand, gesturing for her to sit down, and looked at Bai Feier: "This old Daoist still remembers you."
Bai Feier immediately stood up, cupped her hands in greeting, and said, "Junior Bai Feier greets Commander Zi Ri."
“I still remember Young Friend Bai… oh no, now I should call him ‘General Bai’.”
He turned to Qin Yiyao, his tone carrying just the right amount of praise: "Chief Qin's old friend is also a dragon among men. Back then, at the Jade Emperor Palace Inquiry Conference, General Bai's sword flashed coldly, his outstanding demeanor is still vivid in my mind."
"I never imagined that in just over a decade, not only has his cultivation advanced to the Creation Realm, but he has also ascended to the position of Creation God General of the Eternal Immortal Court at such a young age. His future is limitless. Your master, the Great God General Xu Hong, truly has a keen eye."
"You flatter me, Master. I am merely fortunate to have been favored by you."
Bai Feier was polite and responded humbly, but she was already on guard.
As the head of a department, Ling Xuzi maintained a very serious demeanor, but these polite words seemed somewhat superfluous, and he was definitely wary of her!
Ling Xuzi smiled and waved his hand, his gaze sweeping between Bai Feier and Qin Yiyao. He asked casually, "General Bai has come to reminisce. The Celestial Court is busy with affairs, and even a Divine General like you must have some rare free time, right?"
Ok?
Bai Feier frowned.
Why does this sound like an invitation to leave? Ling Xuzi then turned to Qin Yiyao, his smile unchanged: "Chief Qin, it is a joyous occasion to reunite with an old friend, but I have already prepared the credentials and necessary items for your studies at Wanchao Civilization."
"The journey is long and the cross-domain teleportation will take time. If there is no delay, it is better to set off as soon as possible. In the path of cultivation, every moment is precious."
Qin Yiyao immediately realized that Ling Xuzi definitely wanted to get Bai Feier out of the way.
Moreover, there are other new developments.
She wouldn't dare say she understood Ling Xuzi very well, but for an elder like him to use such a roundabout way to get rid of someone was a bit much.
But Ling Xuzi definitely doesn't trust Bai Feier, that much is certain.
"What the Minister says is absolutely right."
However, before Qin Yiyao could speak, Bai Feier stood up and said, "I have just finished my trial and took some time to visit an old friend. I dare not disturb you too much. Since Sister Yiyao has important matters to attend to, I should take my leave. I will come to bother you again when I have free time in the future."
The meaning is so obvious, if I stay here, I'll definitely cause trouble for Qin Yiyao.
Since that's the case, it would be better to leave now.
"General Bai, you're too kind. You're welcome anytime."
Lingxuzi stroked his beard and smiled.
Qin Yiyao's lips moved, but in the end she only said, "Sister Fei'er, take care."
Take care of yourself too, and be careful in everything you do.
Bai Feier gave Qin Yiyao a deep look, her eyes filled with unspoken words and deep concern. She didn't linger, turning and leaving the courtyard decisively, her presence quickly fading into the distance.
Only after Bai Feier's presence had completely faded did Ling Xuzi's smile slowly disappear, replaced by a solemn expression.
"It seems the head of the department is wary of Sister Fei'er?" Qin Yiyao looked at Ling Xuzi and spoke frankly.
She trusted Bai Feier and disliked this unfounded suspicion.
Ling Xuzi sighed and said in a deep voice, "I know that you and she have a deep friendship and come from the same lower realm, but there are some things I have to say."
"You are exceptionally talented and resilient, but you are still inexperienced. While the bonds of friendship in the lower realms are precious, I have lived for countless years and have seen too many examples of deep-rooted old friendships being destroyed because they involved the Eternal Celestial Court... The waters there run too deep!"
"The conflict between the divine descendants and the immortal path is extremely dangerous. The Eternal Immortal Court always acts with the will of the gods first, and its methods are unpredictable. I am not saying that she will actively harm you, but in the long run, I'm afraid she won't even know that she is capable of harming you."
Qin Yiyao remained silent, her eyes revealing little emotion.
She understood that Ling Xuzi's words were not entirely without reason. She had also heard about the complexities of the Eternal Immortal Court, after all, it was too close to the gods.
Qin Yiyao still trusted Bai Feier and remained unmoved. Seeing Qin Yiyao remain silent, Ling Xuzi stopped trying to persuade her and instead said, "The credentials for going to the Wanchao Civilization have been prepared. There's no time to lose; you'd better set off immediately."
He raised his hand and tapped lightly, and a beam of mysterious light entered Qin Yiyao's brow.
"This civilization certificate will allow you to sense the guide after entering the Myriad Dynasties Civilization."
Ling Xuzi's expression was solemn, his eyes filled with worry: "According to my spies in other civilizations, it seems that several powerful forces are being mobilized in secret. It appears that the higher-ups of most major civilizations are aware of this matter."
"They won't take the initiative; they'll just lay a trap outside the Dark Realm and wait for others to confront those criminals first. Before that, you need to see Yue Ru."
He is in a hurry.
Qin Yiyao knew he was in a hurry.
Qin Yiyao's eyes sharpened, instantly understanding the urgency of the situation. Without further hesitation, she stood up decisively: "I understand." "Be careful in all things. If anything unexpected happens, survival is paramount!"
……
The pull of chaos suddenly disappeared.
A slight feeling of weightlessness came over me, and then I felt my feet firmly on the ground.
The hazy light and shadow around me suddenly became clear, and the sights and sounds of the outside world that had been isolated for seventeen days flooded into my senses like a tidal wave.
"arrive?"
Gu Heng asked subconsciously, shaking his head to dispel the feeling of floating that had lasted for seventeen days.
"We've arrived at the core of our current Imperial Court civilization's territory, the capital of Menta."
The system replied.
"The capital of Menta?"
Gu Heng blinked and looked around at the scenery.
They arrived at a place he had never even heard of before. The sky was bathed in silvery-gray light, and they were in the center of an enormous plaza.
Beneath their feet was a disc over a kilometer in diameter, engraved with complex, dizzying three-dimensional runes—the exit of the inter-domain teleportation array.
The surrounding area was filled with a constant stream of "people" of all shapes and sizes.
Gu Heng glanced at it and realized that the biodiversity was completely beyond his comprehension.
There are creatures that look like humans but have metallic skin and eyes that are electronic specks; there are alien races that are tens of feet tall, with bulging muscles and carrying huge energy cannons on their backs; and there are life forms that float in mid-air and whose bodies are made of pure energy...
Various languages, sound waves, and even mental signals are mixed together, forming a strange background sound.
"How come there are all sorts of monsters and demons here?"
He scratched his head.
There are quite a few that can truly be called "human," but there are also a lot of humanoids mixed in with these pure humans.
Gu Heng found the structure and style of this Taizhi City particularly abstract, with a strong sense of technological civilization, yet also some of the style of cultivators. But it was definitely more exquisite than the rugged cities of the Dragon Clan built on ancient mountains and lava rivers.
"The Imperial Court civilization is located at the intersection of the star sea, so the creatures that come and go are quite diverse."
Gu Xitong's calm voice echoed in Gu Heng's mind.
"Yes, it is indeed complicated."
Gu Heng rolled his eyes.
