Perfect Double Agent

"Of course, after all, that's your home too, you can come back whenever you want."

"Get out of here. Entering the Immortal Academy doesn't mean we're going to make them change sects. Keep your little schemes to yourself and just send them more resources later." The old man also arrived, looking displeased. This junior was taking precautions in advance, afraid that he would abduct the two little kids and start his own sect.

Is he that kind of person?

"Little Baiye, let me ask you, did you really create this technique yourself?" The old man reached out and grabbed a child, asking the question.

"Yes." Bai Ye nodded, not hiding anything.

"Then what about the black sword embryo in your eyes..." the old man asked another question.

"I got it from an old friend surnamed Wang."

"Then you'd better be careful. The Wang family has only revealed a small portion of their secret techniques throughout history, and they are extremely protective of their own." The old man deliberately reminded him.

But when he left, he took a group of children with him, probably to do research. The old men of the Immortal Academy and the Holy Academy were all research fanatics. Some of them were so ruthless that they tortured their disciples to the point of death, destroying them again and again, but the results were remarkable.

……

Time always flies, and three days passed in a row.

Today is an important day, but most people are unaware of it, or even what has happened.

However, for some high-ranking officials, this was an unprecedentedly important event.

The cult leader, the old fox, and the former holy maiden looked up at the sky, watching the old-fashioned young man lead the two away, their eyes filled with reluctance.

"How many years will this departure last..." the old fox whispered.

"You're just too sentimental. Didn't my junior brother say he'd be back in two or three years?"

"Yes, they will come back..." the leader of the Jietian Sect murmured.

Both children were good children. They only took the Golden Ox, the Golden Ape, and the Immortal Corpse. They also only took a small portion of the divine medicine, leaving most of it behind to be used to cultivate other prodigies.

He wasn't sure how far the two children would go in the future, nor did he know if they would encounter difficulties from those immortal families, but the two children never forgot their roots.

Unfortunately, he, as the leader, hasn't been able to help much over the years, and he'll be even less able to help in the future.

"Oh no..." Just as the two were silent, the old fox suddenly exclaimed.

"Hmm?" the cult leader asked.

"I forgot to ask Ye'er to bring some Flying Phoenix and Eight Treasures Chicken. Those two children are very picky eaters. Will they not be used to the food?" The old fox was worried and at the same time received two pairs of eye rolls.

"There's nothing lacking in the Nine Heavens, they won't lack anything, don't worry." The sect leader patted the old fox on the shoulder, without saying anything more.

Chapter 257 Mysterious Battlefield

Many people don't know what the Nine Heavens is, especially the Three Thousand Provinces which are isolated from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

In the eyes of the beings of the Three Thousand Continents, they are the heavens, beings of the upper realm. But in the Nine Heavens, the Three Thousand Continents are called barren lands, the lower realms.

Entering a new place is something that makes anyone a little uneasy, and the witch was no exception. To be honest, she had just turned sixteen.

The witch looked around curiously, appearing lively and agile, but one of her hands was tightly gripping the Chaos Robe at the waist of the boy beside her, as if afraid that if she let go, she would never be able to hold on to it again.

"Is that the Nine Heavens...?"

The horizon was shrouded in gray, and a blurry building connected heaven and earth, filling all the space. It was so enormous that it towered into the outer reaches of the world, as if it had existed since time immemorial.

"No, we haven't left the no-man's land yet. That should be a city," Bai Ye said softly, holding the witch's small hand and feeling its coolness.

Sure enough, as they got closer, the scenery became a little clearer, and a giant city gradually came into view. It was so big that it covered an incredibly vast area and was as high as the sky. Even just one wall was hard to see the edge of.

This is an incomparably magnificent ancient city, standing tall for eternity, stretching across the horizon as if blocking the way forward. Around it, one after another, large stars revolve. At first glance, it seems as if one has traveled to the time before creation, standing among the myriad stars of the universe, easily feeling the grandeur and magnificence.

It's hard to imagine such a scene. They stand outside the city walls, as tiny as dust, with huge stars covering the sky and endless gray mist surrounding the ancient walls that seem to be blocking out a world.

"What kind of city is this... Is the city wall built from a refined star?" The witch was shocked. She had once bought a condensed star and had a nascent universe within her body, so she could easily sense it.

"The Imperial City... This will be the place where you fight in the future, and it may also be the place where you perish."

"And this is also where you began, and where you will end." The old man spoke calmly, but his words shook the two of them to their core.

"Is this the legendary imperial city? Wei Dong seems to live here, right?" the witch asked.

“The Wei family and the Tuogu family are both families that have achieved longevity and are also families that have been guarding the city. They should be inside.” Bai Ye nodded.

"Those two families are no ordinary people either. The former has four phoenixes that are unparalleled in the world, and the latter's eldest son can be called a dragon. Of course, you are not bad either. If you perform well in the future, you can marry the fairy of the world of immortality. She is a descendant of a true immortal, with immortal blood flowing in her veins. She is a true fairy." The old man smiled.

"You're quite the smooth talker, old man." The witch looked displeased. Fortunately, her junior brother wasn't the type to be lustful; instead, he had his own ideals.

Thinking of this, the witch couldn't help but feel curious, "Junior brother, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Even the old man in front of him turned his head when he heard this.

"Me? I probably want to become the leader of this world, to lead the beings of this world to resist foreign invasion, protect the vast land behind us, and safeguard countless homes."

"It's tough. Being a leader isn't an ordinary title. It requires one's own fearlessness, unparalleled courage, and willingness to sacrifice and fight. This is all based on one's own strength and will."

"Besides, you also need someone to support you. This path... is very difficult!" the old man said meaningfully.

"No matter how difficult the road, I will fight my way through it with my shield and my spear. Even if every step leaves a bloody mark, as long as I stand, I will keep moving forward!"

Bai Ye's face was serious, and even a dazzling holy spear appeared in his hand. Then, he used the spear to draw lines in the air, leaving golden and transparent Dao patterns that resembled characters. At a glance, one could understand their meaning: I, Bai Ye, firmly believe that as long as I do not betray the lives of the people of this world, the lives of the people of this world will not betray me!

It's like a vow, and also like a testimonial.

Why did the old man bring them to the capital city? And why did he say that this place was both the beginning and the end?

The great battle will begin here and end here; as long as the pass holds, people will live; if the pass falls, people will die.

There is only battle, no retreat, and no betrayal. He has mastered the origin of time and space, much like a traitor from the Immortal Ancient Clan. The people of the Three Thousand Provinces do not know this, but the old man and the young man could not possibly not know it, and they might even know that he possesses the Golden Spear.

Therefore, he did not hide anything. He did not have the bloodline of the Gu Zu. His only special feature was that he was better than Wang Qiang. However, this mark was different from that of An Lan's descendants. It had been modified and concealed.

"Is this your invincible divine power that has defeated all your contemporaries?" The old man glanced at the characters that had disappeared into space, then his gaze fell on the spear. After examining it for a moment, he looked surprised. "It is extremely powerful, with the growth patterns and energy of immortals. It will change as you become stronger. If you can become an immortal in the future, it may transform into an immortal divine power, which is very rare and comparable to some people's."

After reaching this conclusion, the old man led the two along the city wall, not intending to enter the city, but having other purposes.

"Were there any immortals among your ancestors?" the witch asked with a smile.

"No, when my mother was pregnant with me, she accidentally fell into an underground golden pool, and I was born with this supernatural power." Bai Ye and the witch stood behind the boy, casually chatting on the golden clouds. The witch had actually heard this story when she was a child.

"My poor junior brother... Don't be afraid, your senior sister will protect you..." The witch used her enchanting voice, which was charming and seductive. Then she stretched out her arms, but Bai Ye dodged them in disgust.

Judging from Bai Ye's actions, he's clearly experienced this kind of thing many times.

However, just as they were chatting casually, an ancient stone forest gradually appeared before their eyes.

This place has already left the imperial city and is still in the no-man's land, but at the end of the stone forest lies a desert.

The sandy land stretched endlessly, a deep red that seemed to reach every corner, each grain of sand like a blood-red crystal, so red it was almost unbelievable.

"Courage is essential to becoming a leader. Give it a try." The old man waved and sent Bai Ye to the edge of the blood-red desert.

"What's there..." The witch was shocked. Just as her junior brother stepped in, a low, mournful sound filled the entire world. A cold wind blew, creating a blood-red whirlwind. Black mist emerged silently, seemingly trying to cover the sun. In the distance, countless shouts of killing could be heard, and ancient mounts galloped about. The scene was extremely eerie.

The old man remained silent, leading the witch into the stone forest. Looking at the small graves piled up with stones, he silently took out a flask of wine.

At this moment, Bai Ye felt as if he had arrived at the end of the Immortal Ancient Era, witnessing the battle between the armies of the two realms in a time-space transition.

This place is extraordinary; it's just like the real thing. It doesn't seem to have happened in the ancient immortal realm, but rather like it's happening right now.

A demonic image, its eyes bloodshot with rage, fixed its gaze on him from afar. Resembling a spider with eight legs and three heads, it charged straight at him.

"Another realm, the Three-Headed King clan... Is it because of a special environment that the remaining imprints here have changed?"

Bai Ye didn't know, but this was the place that could best temper a person and the place where transformation was most likely to occur, provided that one could endure it.

Bai Ye moved, wielding an unfinished tortoise shield in one hand and a golden spear in the other, charging directly towards the Three-Headed King.

This is strange. Normally, those alien creatures would be afraid of the golden spear, but here, no creature cares what kind of spear he is holding.

"boom!"

When the two met, a single blow caused a massive collapse of space. This was merely a remnant from ancient times, not a true living being. It was preserved due to the special nature of the region and still possesses such terrifying combat power. It was definitely not at this level in the past.

The spear swept across, its golden light boundless, more terrifying and unparalleled than sword energy, instantly forcing back the three attacking spider legs.

"Roar!"

The three-headed demon spider roared, emitting a foreign syllable. The sound waves rolled, shaking the heavens and earth, sending sand and dust flying, directly piercing through the void, and even the sun and moon seemed to lose their light.

It was terrifying. The roar was even stronger than the roar of a lion or the bellow of a bull. Even nearby, many creatures were affected, some with blood flowing from their ears, and some were shattered by the shockwave!

Bai Ye also let out a long howl, formed by countless runes within his body that vibrated into a small bell. Instantly, transparent ripples spread out, like waves in spacetime, colliding with the incoming sound waves and causing a violent explosion.

Immediately afterwards, he flashed to the other end, descended from the sky, and launched a fierce attack.

The three-headed demonic spider suddenly raised its head, its eyes gleaming with dark light, like an extremely evil creature from the deepest hell. Its physical body was unparalleled, its strength surpassing all others of its level, and its entire body was burning with terrifying demonic flames. The aura it exuded was so terrifying that it was unbelievable, its arrogance reaching the heavens, as if it wanted to slaughter all living beings!

"How did that form? Are all alien creatures those terrifying monsters?" The witch was shocked, because her junior brother had never encountered an opponent.

"It's a special place. Some say that the Immortal King Wuzhong attained enlightenment here and left indelible marks of time. Therefore, when a great battle took place here later, some of those marks were preserved," the old man explained. This was also one of the destinations he brought his two children to.

"The Immortal King of No End..." The witch suddenly had a strange feeling. She knew that her junior brother was related to the Immortal King of No End and had obtained the Immortal King's techniques. She just didn't know if it would resonate here and bring him good fortune. If that happened, the old monster's eyes might bulge out.

The battle raged on the blood-red battlefield. The eight spider legs, like eight indestructible spears, were accompanied by surging demonic flames that threatened to set the heavens ablaze.

Bai Ye, wielding a long spear, fought with sweeping, powerful blows that shook the surrounding area. They advanced from the edge of the battlefield directly into its center, where they unleashed a devastating attack.

"boom!"

The spear plunged into the space and reappeared, as if it came from another world, carrying the will of its master. With a single strike, it pierced through heaven and earth and nailed a head in the middle.

The spider roared in pain, its ferocity intensifying. Its two heads shook, each spitting out a beam of light that shot directly at the figure appearing in the sky.

Undeterred, Bai Ye slammed down his shield, meeting the beam of light head-on, and pressed it over the mouth. At the same time, he pulled hard, and the two beams collided, creating a violent explosion.

In the distance, one could vaguely hear a series of booming sounds, and the sounds of bodies colliding, like metal striking metal, with black demonic blood splattering from time to time. A moment later, a golden light shone brightly and cleaved through a demonic shadow in two.

The Three-Headed Demon Spider was extremely powerful. As a clan known for its ferocity in the Immortal Ancient Era, it was almost unstoppable among its peers. It could even kill a peerless genius with the power of the Three Immortals. Now, it has been killed.

But at that very moment, another group of people arrived from not far away, not just one, but a whole group, intending to ambush and kill them.

"kill!"

Bai Ye stood in the sky, his body stained with black blood, holding a shield in one hand and a pistol in the other. Although he lacked a mount, his aura was still terrifying. His blood energy was like a sea, swirling the sky, and the light from his pistol pierced through space.

He burst forth in an instant, leaving behind a massive spatial rift. He was too fast, teleporting in at an instant. His physique was unparalleled. He wielded his spear, sweeping across everything in all directions, cleaving the heavens and earth in two. At the same time, several figures were also cleaved in two.

He held nothing back, going all out to fight fiercely on this rare battlefield, leaving a trail of corpses in his wake.

This is quite astonishing. There are so many creatures there, densely packed, that every raised hand could kill a true god. Their rhythm is not chaotic; they are carrying out a different kind of encirclement and killing, not a so-called one-on-one battle.
