Guo Ming and Yang Qianyuan then came out.

Guo Ming frowned: "Brother Chu, what's going on?"

He sensed something was wrong and saw the Heavenly Ring in the sky constantly solidifying and shrinking.

"The battle has begun, but we'll kill Emperor Xihuan first. He's very strong. We'll discuss the details when Commander Xiong arrives."

"His true energy can contend with Da Gu's Sorrowful Wind; it will be a tough battle," Chu Danqing said.

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming's expression immediately turned serious.

"Alright, I'll rest for a bit first." After saying that, Guo Ming sat down cross-legged, with the Twelve Yuan Chen Flying Swords circling around him: "Set up the Twelve Yuan Chen Sword Formation."

"By the way, how's the situation with the Cat Goddess?" Guo Ming asked casually.

“Even if it’s just one more day, I still can’t be sure of the situation.” Chu Danqing sighed. “After killing Emperor Xihuan, we’ll try to delay it a little longer.”

"It's a pity that Emperor Xihuan broke the substitution trick that Qian Yuan had set up on me, otherwise we could have stalled for a while."

Guo Ming was not surprised to see this, after all, nothing in a trial mission goes smoothly.

"It's a minor issue; this was just a delaying tactic." Yang Qianyuan also thought it was normal, considering that the other party had lived a long time and accumulated the destiny of countless generations.

Yang Qianyuan would only realize there was a problem if he didn't notice it.

About five minutes later, Kumashiba responded to the call.

"Mr. Chu, Brother Guo, Qian Yuan, you're not late, are you?" Xiong Zhigang thought the battle was over.

"I'm not late. Here's the situation," Chu Danqing explained after Xiong Zhigang arrived.

At this point, Kumashigaoka had also reached level 2, so he arrived two-thirds faster than before.

As strength increases, talent and skills naturally become stronger as well.

“No problem. I’ll leave Emperor Xihuan to Brother Guo and handle the rest of the palace.” Xiong Zhigang immediately said, “I can resolve this in a quarter of an hour at most, and then I’ll go and support Brother Guo.”

"Qianyuan, what do you think?" Xiong Zhigang looked at Yang Qianyuan.

Yang Qianyuan understood that Xiong Zhigang wanted him to perform divination, which was also the purpose of Chu Danqing's summons.

"Let me do some divination," Yang Qianyuan said, and he and Fei Di began their divination of celestial secrets.

The yarrow on Fei Di's body began to grow, this time not seven feet, but eight and a half feet.

This means that Yang Qianyuan is already half an emperor. Obviously, Yang Qianyuan's status in his trial world has changed, but it has not been fully transformed yet.

It means the emperor's position has been decided, but he hasn't ascended the throne yet.

It seems they are on their way to Beijing.

This divination lasted for a full half hour, and Yang Qianyuan and Fei Di visibly became listless.

Chu Danqing immediately opened the attribute panel and saw that each of the five attributes was missing 3 points. She then shared the information with Guo Ming.

They all knew that Yang Qianyuan's divination of heavenly secrets usually involved using lifespan first and then attributes, unless lifespan was truly insufficient to be deducted, in which case he would choose attributes.

Guo Ming instantly understood Chu Danqing's meaning and decisively took out a sealed jade bottle from his storage bag and handed it to Yang Qianyuan.

It contains ten superior-grade Guo's Longevity Pills.

It can restore Yang Qianyuan's lifespan by at least one hundred years.

As for the lost attributes, it doesn't matter, they can be recovered through cultivation anyway.

"Wait a little longer, until Emperor Xihuan summons the Heavenly Ring before we make our move." Yang Qianyuan said after putting away the Longevity Pill, "Remember, we must make sure Brother Chu is the first to come into contact with the Heavenly Ring."

"And you must make sure that Brother Chu takes it."

"As for whether Emperor Xihuan can be killed, that's another matter."

"Most importantly, Brother Guo, you must hold off Emperor Xihuan. As the Heavenly Ring gets closer to reality, the Heavenly Mandate within Emperor Xihuan will become stronger, and his power will grow stronger."

"After the Heavenly Ring descends, he will be at least equivalent to Tier 4, and because of his destiny, he will be far more troublesome than the four from the opposing faction."

"Instead of killing him, let's take a gamble and choose to steal the Ring of Heaven and then wait for the Goddess of Cats."

Yang Qianyuan paused here and then gave a suggestion.

"After Brother Chu obtains the Heavenly Ring, Commander Xiong, use Military Might - Warlord to send Brother Chu out of the city, throw him as far as you can."

"Once you leave the city, Brother Chu, send Xiong Jinglue and the others back."

"We can summon Brother Guo again using the escort skill," Yang Qianyuan said, plucking the yarrow stalks from Fei Di's head.

It was still divided in two, but one half was chopped into pieces.

The scraps were handed to Fei Di, who began to weave them into small balls.

He then began to skillfully refine his other half.

"As usual, Brother Chu, please keep this half of the yarrow with you."

"As for these fragments, once Brother Guo is summoned by the Emperor, they will be collected and scattered. The locations are as follows," Yang Qianyuan reported the time and place. "Remember, the order must not be disordered, otherwise this substitution trick will not last a day."

Upon hearing this, Guo Ming immediately nodded to indicate that he had remembered it.

“After a quarter of an hour, Brother Chu can send Brother Guo back.” After finishing the refining, Yang Qianyuan checked the time again: “It is now the beginning of the hour of Wei, there is still one hour left.”

Chu Danqing glanced at the time; it was 3:15 PM, after which she could take Guo Ming back.

"Okay, I understand," Chu Danqing said. "Then I'll take you back first and make sure you recover well."

Yang Qianyuan simply nodded. He went all in, using up his lifespan and adding 15 attribute points. Now he only had 15 minutes left to live.

Without paying a heavy price, how could one possibly see the future so clearly?

However, he didn't say it all.

There's no need to worry about lifespan.

This isn't the Guo family's longevity pill; even with the lowest recovery efficiency, it would still grant a lifespan of one hundred years.

Given his attributes, he certainly didn't receive the minimum lifespan.

[An unnotarized item has been detected. Since it was provided by a covenant partner, you can choose to have it notarized as usual or waive the notarization option.]

[1. Notarized, Excellent grade requires 10000 Paradise Points]

[Covenant Target #3 has been detected carrying items belonging to a Tier 2 Dimensional Apostle. You may choose to pay a processing fee to complete the transfer or abandon the transfer.]

1. Handling fee: Paradise Points x 10000

【2. Give up the transfer and stay where you are】

[You have returned Covenant Target #3. The rationalization of the repatriation has been completed. Duration of this operation: 1 hours. Cost: Paradise Points x1]

Because of the special nature of this trial mission mode, no missions were triggered, and the income from Paradise Points came entirely from treasure chests.

After spending 20,000, you're left with less than 3,000 amusement park points.

However, this is necessary. Although Yang Qianyuan did not say how he was doing, it must not be optimistic.

The Paradise also allows Apostles to use Paradise Points as a negative number. Even if there is no gain, you can still exchange the entire set of inherited skills for Paradise Points after returning.

After seeing him off, Chu Danqing said, "Let's go."

"Let's conceal our presence first; things are in a lot of chaos outside." Guo Ming said, taking out a series of items, from invisibility talismans to talismans for eliminating presence and blocking the sound of movement.

Before long, it enveloped Chu Danqing, Da Bao, and Xiong Zhigang.

Guo Ming added the same talismans to them before saying, "I will take you there on my sword so that we don't miss the opportunity."

If they were to actually reach the palace, even if they moved quickly, could they outrun Guo Ming flying with them?

The Twelve Yuan Chen Swords, which had concealed their forms, swiftly lifted the three of them, with Guo Ming leading the way.

Due to the enemy's deployment, Tianfu was now filled with either Gu worms or ghosts, and a large number of soldiers were killing each other indiscriminately, making it a truly horrific sight.

It's a pity that Chu Danqing himself is in dire straits, otherwise I would have helped him out.

"Brother Chu, those four have also sensed that the Heavenly Ring is about to descend. The location is so obvious, they are probably also heading to the palace," Guo Ming said in a low voice.

Chu Danqing's attention had always been on the Heavenly Ring, so he was aware of it as well.

“A gathering of righteous men,” Chu Danqing suddenly said.

Guo Ming was somewhat puzzled. He knew about the "Gathering of Heroes" skill; he had seen it in the amusement park before, and it only worked if the target was a native of his own faction.

Xiong Zhigang didn't know why Chu Danqing would say that.

"Qian Yuan must have omitted something. I'm certain that his divination of heavenly secrets was definitely more than just intelligence gathering."

"He must have done something using his celestial abilities and the future interference granted by his predetermined destiny."

"He kept emphasizing the usefulness of gathering people together, which must have its purpose."

"There are some things he can't say, because saying them might disrupt the future." Chu Danqing had actually guessed this as well.

For example, how much this trial world wants Emperor Xihuan dead.

"Don't worry about it. I'm just giving you a heads-up. The Qian Yuan Heavenly Secrets Deduction is useful, but it can only provide a plan. The actual implementation still depends on you," Chu Danqing reassured him.

Chu Danqing was worried that they might overthink things.

"Brother Chu, don't worry, I naturally understand. Heavenly divination is not omniscient, and the future is not fixed," Guo Ming said with a smile.

He believed in divination and prophecy, but not in fate.

Xiong Zhigang echoed, "That makes sense. The secrets of heaven can be used, but if one blindly follows them, it will only lead to one's own destruction."

As the two talked, they arrived at the palace. After crossing the palace walls, they met Emperor Xihuan.

Emperor Xihuan was sitting on the roof of the Golden Palace. He had even moved his dragon throne up there. The Xuanhuang True Qi around him gradually solidified into a real dragon that spanned most of the palace.

"This true energy isn't right," Guo Ming said in a low voice. "The opponent is already close to the fourth level."

“It is destiny; he has integrated destiny into his true energy,” Chu Danqing said. “Moreover, he did not approach it, but rather unsealed it. His true strength is at the fourth level.”

"However, because of the integration of destiny into true energy, it was forced to be suppressed to level 2 under normal circumstances."

"The return of the Heavenly Ring is causing the suppression to gradually disappear."

"No wonder the amusement park has six factions to divide it up this time."

"Emperor Xihuan's strength is indeed no less than that of the five of us."
