Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 233 Go Get Your Way Back

Qiu Ci and Juan Shan exchanged a glance, both worried and anxious. It seemed that it had indeed been greatly affected in the Nine Heavens. They wondered whether the current situation was intentional or unintentional on the part of the main god.

"It's a pity that Lord Chen is not here either. What should we do, Master?" Juanshan looked anxious. The dog system was clearly not in a good state. To make matters worse, Xiao Er had been recycled and recharged by the dog system earlier, so there was no way to investigate now.

"We can only wait and see. Hopefully, its antivirus program can clear up these interferences, otherwise..." Qiu Ci sighed, her eyes narrowing slightly, "we'll just have to wait until we find the final base." If such a base really exists, there must be facilities there that can restore the dog system.

The system is essentially a string of data, and besides the base, only the same system can investigate the specific cause of this chaos. Now that Xiao Er is gone, although a few of the systems the temple previously acquired still remain, those are all sub-systems of the main god, unlike the dog system. She dares not easily turn them on and try, for who knows if it will have the opposite effect. Moreover, she can't help but suspect that the sudden data chaos in the system might also be within the main god's calculations.

Seeing that Qiu Ci had put away the ball of light, Juan Shan was anxious but could only wait. "Master, where are we going next? Are we really going to help the main god find the final base?"

"Of course we need to find them." Qiu Ci nodded firmly. "Although I don't know what the main god wants to do, I do need the base's help." Whether it's for upgrading or for the Dog Command.

Juanshan nodded knowingly, "Then, Venerable One, where do you think the base should be located in the Immortal Realm?"

Qiu Ci pondered for a moment before shaking her head. "I don't know either." If even the main god couldn't find this place, then this base must be very well hidden, probably a place no one would expect. "But I know what we need to do now."

"What?" Juanshan was taken aback.

Qiu Ci chuckled softly and patted his shoulder. "Of course, let's go get revenge first!"

She hadn't forgotten that she was still holding her breath, and she had to get rid of that anger first, otherwise... she wouldn't be able to think clearly!

Western Immortal Realm, Immortal Venerable Pavilion.

Ever since returning from the Nine Heavens, Ling Hua had felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen. He couldn't help but think of the two rogue immortals from before. He was quite certain that they were indeed rogue immortals because they both possessed the aura of being bound to the system.

This aura was actually very subtle, and only someone with his level of cultivation could discern it at a glance. However, he could also tell that the two were different. After all, most Loose Immortals ascended through the body, and their foundations were more or less unstable, so their cultivation would appear quite superficial.

But these two are different. Not to mention that the man's foundation is no different from that of a normal ascending immortal, and his physique even seems to be different from that of an ordinary person, which is not like the cultivation obtained through the body.

The woman was even stranger. He couldn't see through her foundation at all. Her cultivation was perfectly natural, not only unstable but also giving him the illusion that she was actually suppressing her cultivation. If it weren't for the aura of being bound to the system, he would never have recognized her as a rogue immortal.

Especially the blue magical artifact on her body—it was, undeniably, the strangest and most powerful artifact he had ever seen. Despite showing no fluctuations of immortal power, it could instantly kill a Celestial Immortal realm expert, even if the opponent was two realms above her. Moreover, the artifact gave off a very strange feeling; it seemed to be a single entity, yet also as if it were composed of millions of artifacts, not to mention its ever-changing shape.

He even felt that if the other party were willing, even a Golden Immortal wouldn't be a match for that magical artifact. It was precisely for this reason that he had some thoughts about it. If an Earth Immortal could achieve this level, then what about him, as a Celestial Venerable? If he obtained this magical artifact, the four Immortal Realms would not be in their current state.

That's why he crossed over without hesitation, intending to seize the opportunity and get it first. But who knew that the old fox Mu Xi thought the same way, and it even attracted the attention of the Emperor.

The Immortal Venerable's strength was indeed enough to make him roam freely in the Immortal Realm, but in front of the Emperor, everyone tacitly dared not cross the line, because those who had crossed the line in the past had all turned to ashes.

He dared to openly steal treasures in the Eastern Immortal Realm and was not afraid to fight Mu Xi to the death, but in front of the Emperor, he really didn't dare to utter a single fart.

What kind of existence is the Emperor? He is the strongest being in the Immortal Realm. Since their ascension, the Emperor has existed in the Nine Heavens. No one knows how long he has lived or how many years he has existed. No one knows how strong the Immortal Venerable is. However, even a trace of his aura that he casually leaks is enough to make them unable to resist. Moreover, the system he casually creates can make a mortal with no cultivation ascend to an immortal in an instant.

Yet this peak expert, someone who hadn't appeared in the Immortal Realm for tens of thousands of years, suddenly summoned those two rogue immortals. This made him wonder if they had anything special about them, or if they were actually the Emperor's people, or even if the strange magical artifact was given to them by the Emperor.

But what have they all done? Openly opposing the Emperor and making things difficult for his people? Won't the Emperor punish them?

On the way back from the Ninth Heaven, Ling Hua kept thinking about this problem. Only after safely returning to the Western Immortal Realm did his worries subside. Fortunately, the Emperor didn't seem to care. He should be alright.

"Something's happened, Immortal Venerable! Something's happened..." Just as he was thinking this, a celestial attendant rushed in in a panic.

Ling Hua's heart, which had just settled, jumped again. "What happened? Has the Emperor's decree arrived again?"

"No, it's not..." The fairy servant shook his head frantically, trembling.

"That's good." Ling Hua finally breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't the Emperor's punishment, everything was fine. "What's with all this panic? Tell me in detail, what exactly happened?"

"It's the sky! The sky... the sky has turned blue!" the fairy servant said, still trembling.

"Blue? Isn't the sky naturally blue?" What nonsense! Ling Hua was about to get angry when she suddenly felt the entire hall shaking violently, as if the whole world was trembling, with a constant rumbling sound.

His heart sank as he realized something was wrong. He immediately dashed out of the house and looked up to see a vast expanse of blue matter, like a tsunami, covering the entire sky above the Immortal Venerable Pavilion. Countless blue lights were shuttling back and forth, and any spell seemed to be ineffective in front of it. Wherever the blue light passed, the entire Immortal Venerable Pavilion was turned to ashes.

These are... the strange weapons that the wandering immortal had before. How can there be so many?!

He looked closely and, sure enough, saw two familiar figures amidst the blue light filling the sky. The next moment, a female voice rang out from above.

"From this day forward, I shall be the one to call the shots in this immortal realm!"

I have some urgent business to attend to and need to go back to my hometown. I might not be able to update tomorrow, so I'm letting you know in advance and will try my best to catch up.
