Everyone ascended, but I didn't get on board

Chapter 234 The Western Immortal Realm Changes Hands

"It's you!" Ling Hua's eyes widened as she stared at the two figures in the air. "How is this possible?" How could she possess such power? And this sky full of blue matter, is it really just a magical artifact? How could such a terrifying magical artifact exist in the world?

"Stop! Stop!" Ling Hua hurriedly tried to stop them, but found that his magic was completely ineffective. Even the protective magic array was as fragile as a piece of paper in front of those blue substances.

"How could this be? How is this possible!" He simply couldn't believe his eyes. Watching the entire Immortal Venerable Pavilion about to be swallowed by that strange magical artifact, Ling Hua's eyes widened in horror. He could only shout towards the sky, "Stop! Do you even know what you're doing? Are two rogue immortals really going to make an enemy of millions of immortals in the entire Western Immortal Realm to the death? Even if you have an Emperor behind you..."

Swish!
Before he could finish speaking, a flash of blue light appeared, and he felt a chill in his chest. The blue light passed right through his body, and his protective immortal power seemed to have vanished. He fell backward and died.

"If you want to fight, then fight! Who's going to argue with you!" Qiu Ci withdrew his hand and continued to drive the countless psionic machines to level the entire Immortal Venerable Pavilion. Suddenly, a familiar voice came to his ears.

[Beep! Provocation detected. Time-limited mission issued: Get revenge, teach the other party a lesson, and show them that the strong cannot be humiliated!]

Autumn Farewell: "..."

Juanshan: "..."

Both of them were stunned. What the heck? The dog system can issue tasks now?

"Doggy, what's wrong?" she asked anxiously.

[Beep! Please complete the task as soon as possible!]

"You called me host?" Qiu Ci frowned.

"Yes, Master...?" The dog system called out halfway, then suddenly changed its words, its tone tinged with doubt, and a faint crackling sound of electricity could be heard, as if there was a problem with the connection.

Is the data going haywire again?

"I am the host, then what are you?" she couldn't help but ask.

[Ding! This system is the strongest system in the battle for supremacy across the heavens, professionally designed to create the strongest host in all realms. Please complete the task as soon as possible.] The dog system replied earnestly.

"..." How come the data is so messed up that even the varieties have changed?
Qiu Ci and Juan Shan exchanged a glance, both of them looking rather serious. It seemed that the dog system really thought of itself as one of those systems that issued tasks. Could it be because it had been infected by consuming too many other systems before?
"Who did you just say you were going to teach a lesson to?" Qiu Ci thought for a moment, then asked seriously instead of refuting Gouzi.

[Of course it was that provocation... Huh? Target cleared, mission complete! Rewards being distributed...]

The next moment, a flash of golden light appeared before her eyes, and a red flower landed in her hand. It was a small red flower, folded into layers, rough to the touch, and faded, just like the kind given to children in kindergarten.

This... is truly a simple and unpretentious reward.

"Master, what is this, Lord Xing..." Juanshan was also completely bewildered. He examined the little red flower in her palm carefully, and only after several times did he confirm that it was indeed just a paper red flower with no other effect.

"It's probably because the data has become more chaotic, affected by the system data it previously absorbed," Qiu Ci guessed.

"Then...should we have Lord Xing keep his phone off?" Juanshan suggested.

Qiu Ci thought about it carefully, then shook her head. "No, its antivirus program is still running. If we shut it down now, all our previous efforts will be wasted. The current chaos should only be temporary. We should just go with it." Besides, Gouzi seemed to really dislike being shut down.

She could sense that the dog system's core program was still functioning normally; otherwise, it wouldn't have changed its tune when she questioned it. All she could do now was wait for it to pull through on its own or find its final base as soon as possible.

Juanshan nodded and did not object further. However, Qiu Ci had no longer intended to continue cleaning up the Western Immortal Realm.

Half an hour later.

With no further dissenting voices from below, Qiu Ci withdrew the countless spiritual energy machines. The once majestic and solemn Immortal Venerable Palace was mostly destroyed, with only the central hall remaining intact.

Qiu Ci came here to cause trouble, so she didn't hold back. In addition to Ling Hua Immortal Venerable, she also cleaned up some Golden Immortals in the Western Immortal Realm. After some coercion, the rest surrendered. The Western Immortal Realm completely became her territory.

She didn't care whether these people were truly submissive or not; in any case, the Western Immortal Realm had completely changed hands.

She had originally planned to smash the Western Immortal Realm and then the Eastern Immortal Realm, but she got bogged down in a bunch of messy affairs in the Western Immortal Realm. After Immortal Venerable Linghua fell, the immortals below slid down to their knees with such decisiveness that within an hour, they were all calling her "Immortal Venerable."

Qiu Ci finally felt relieved, but managing the Immortal Realm was truly not her area of ​​expertise. Fortunately, Juan Shan was familiar with the situation, and in less than two days, he had sorted out the entire situation of the Western Immortal Realm and taken over completely.

On the third day, he sent people out to search for clues about the base. The Immortal Realm was simply too vast, and with the dog system acting up again, it would probably take forever for her and Juanshan to find it. So, when they first came to the Western Immortal Realm, they intended to find as many people as possible to help them search for the base.

If one person can't find it, surely a group of people can? It's time to mobilize the power of the masses.

--------

A month later.

"Have you heard? The Western Immortal Realm has changed hands."

"Yes, I heard that the person who defeated Immortal Venerable Linghua not only killed the Immortal Venerable, but also massacred the entire Immortal Venerable Pavilion."

"Just what is the cultivation level of that new Immortal Venerable? He's so powerful!"

"I don't know. According to the surviving immortals, no one can see through her true cultivation level. No matter what kind of magic they use to investigate, they can only tell that she is an Earth Immortal."

"So terrifying! When did such a powerful figure emerge in the Immortal Realm? How come there was no word of it before?"

"I heard that she has quite a connection with that one in the Nine Heavens."

"You mean... she's that person's disciple! Immortal Venerable Linghua has actually offended..."

"It's almost certainly true. Otherwise, how come there hasn't been any movement in the three immortal realms even though Immortal Venerable Linghua has been dead for so long?"

"That makes sense. No wonder this new Immortal Venerable was able to single-handedly wipe out the entire Western Immortal Realm."

"..."

In less than a month, the news of the change of power in the Western Immortal Realm spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm. Along with this information, news also spread that the new Immortal Venerable came from the Ninth Heaven and was a disciple of the Emperor.

Meanwhile, Qiu Ci was browsing through the library of the Western Immortal Realm.

Although she was only at the Earth Immortal level, she could still easily browse through the books with her divine sense. It only took her a few days to roughly scan through the entire collection. She didn't pay much attention to the cultivation manuals and secret techniques, but instead focused on travelogues and miscellaneous books about the immortal realm, hoping to find clues about the base. Unfortunately, she didn't find anything.

Then a celestial attendant approached and said, "Reporting to the Celestial Venerable, the Celestial Venerable Mu of the Eastern Celestial Realm requests an audience!"
