Chapter 1135 - 218: The Emergence of the Time Ancient Tomb

Jiumu Qing's movements are very subtle, almost unnoticeable to outsiders, but Ning Zheng still noticed.

Because of the Beast Taming, she can perceive it no matter how deeply it's hidden.

"Has she realized that she's been deceived, that she's a fake heir of Kong Country?"

Ning Zheng smirked:

"She's very angry because she found out she was a clown before..."

"Previously, as Embers, her logic was fixed, her thinking was simple, and Xi Rong fooled her like an idiot, making her believe the nonsense about being a Kong Country heir."

"Now, as she is half-awakened, she has discovered this dark history of hers."

She is like the second Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate, having discovered the dark history of being tricked by Xi Rong, now she's furious.

Generally speaking,

A half-awakened Ghost King... has realized they're dead, owning normal logical thinking ability...

These kinds of beings become quite insidious and cunning, figuring out how to thoroughly arouse their obsession and take the final step to come back to life!

Right now, Jiumu Qing is enduring, pretending.

Yet, she has no clue that she has quietly become a beast tamed, already under somebody's control...

But she's still half-awakened, logically deficient, unable to detect anomalies in the Beast Taming Contract.

"When she plots and calculates, fully awakens herself, breaking through as an Immortal Venerate, she'll realize she's become a tamed beast."

Ning Zheng looked calmly, quietly at the lying low Jiumu Qing.

"She's already a mature friend who will work hard to awaken herself, perhaps saving me quite a bit of money."

Seeing her reaction, Ning Zheng instantly decided to wait it out.

Letting her strive to awaken herself, thinking about future discounts...

Confirmed Jiumu Qing's half-awakened choice was: Endurance.

Ning Zheng felt relieved.

The biggest worry was her flipping the table, confronting directly, which would be hard to deceive.

Neither fighting nor not fighting...

After observing for ten minutes, ensuring Jiumu Qing was still pretending her previous movements, Ning Zheng no longer paid attention to her, instead focusing on his hundred Dharma Aspect Clones.

"To manage these things, control an Immortal Venerate beast... has depleted most of my Qi Fortune Value, Immortal Stones, hopefully leading to good results!"

...

Chongshan Town.

The NPC Jiucai Rong is managing tasks.

Recently, the task board on Chongshan Town's side has become semi-automatic.

People send [emails] private messages, apply for [tasks], and explain the rewards.

Then Jiucai Rong only needs to check the [private message] content and confirm the counterpart has sent the reward in advance before publishing daily tasks.

Now their model has become quite mature.

Various forces come to publish tasks, Jiucai Rong only needs to approve.

As for why so many forces come to this Heaven's Chosen platform to secretly publish war tasks rather than in the Immortal Realm or Netherworld?

The Immortal Realm and Netherworld are not monolithic, some military districts even oppose and plot against each other.

As seen in Jiucai Rong's delegated tasks, it's encountered some quite ludicrous ones.

Even witnessing certain military districts tasking them to attack their neighboring district's friendly forces, snatch their supplies, and deliver to them!

It's just the Immortal Realm being too vast, with thirteen Immortal Realm giant civilizations under which numerous affiliate countries exist, internal strife is inevitable.

Netherworld even more so.

"Alas, this world is really a chaotic troupe." Jiucai Rong sat at the counter, complained.

"I think it's completely normal!"

Beside him, the NPC Su Yuniang parked the Wind Speed Dog at the door, this law enforcement maiden also loitering and chatting in the shop.

Su Yuniang sat on the chair, resting her chin, watching Heaven's Chosen come and go on the street outside:

"Who would truly sacrifice for the Immortal Realm? Which civilization, sect, family doesn't have their own thoughts? On the battlefield, surely they seek something."

"Okay, I think you're quite right." Jiucai Rong couldn't help but ask: "How's the battle going recently?"

"It's alright."

Su Yuniang nodded, "Mainly training the troops."

Now, at Sword Casting Manor, besides Xin Xichen's batch following the Treasure Bottle civilization... only Su Yuniang's army has the qualifications to go on the battlefield officially as a mercenary.

And as the only army training on the battlefield of blacksmith players under the guidance of True Immortal Momei, progress is rapid.

Previously, during the opening service, boasting: Sun Moon Su Yuniang, becoming the manor's Guardian God.

Now it seems initially achieved.

No matter if Xirong Manor's Guardian God is strong or not, she's the most fighting-capable blacksmith!

"Those small fry of hers, fishing in the battlefield... let me open the [Observer Perspective] for you." Saying this, Su Yuniang opened the battlefield.

On screen, a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.

Across the void battlefield above, two military ships chased rapidly, back and forth.

Boom, boom, boom!

A myriad of Human Immortals and Celestial Immortals exerted themselves, constantly attacking each other.

On such a large battlefield, apart from True Immortals, individual strength is minuscule.

Amidst the crowd, Su Yuniang's batch of troops is just a small cultivator group on the ship's deck.

"Just this?" Jiucai Rong couldn't help but mock, "Congratulations on breaking my fantasy of going on the battlefield, fighting heroically."

"Well, I'm really sorry."

Su Yuniang rolled her eyes, "In the Lower Realm, you're peerless, laboriously ascending, you might still be one of the hundred thousand Celestial Soldiers encircling Sun Wukong and getting clubbed to death."

Jiucai Rong scratched his head, "Indeed disillusioned."

Before hitting the Immortal Realm battlefield, blacksmiths imagined how strong they were, how mighty their army was, various personal heroism ideals.

But after seeing the real battlefield, there's no heroism, no personal power, not unless you're a True Immortal...

How many True Immortals are there in this world?

On this massive meat grinder battlefield instead, Human Immortal, Celestial Immortal these war machineries as screws, fear, dullness, powerlessness.

War is never something worth longing for.

Earth is full of bones like this.

The facets of the Immortal Realm's warzones are alike.

Heading into battle instantly disenchants the youth holding heroic ideals.

As they mocked watching the [Observer Perspective], they suddenly saw a crack in the vibrating space.

The space rippling like waves, surging with huge waves.

The two opposing War Immortal Ships seemed to sway in the transparent ripple waves and could capsize, severely damaged.

"Help!"

"What's happening?"

"Did an Immortal Venerate attack personally?"

"This definitely isn't an Immortal Venerate's Law Avatar, our fleet can still resist somewhat, it wouldn't have such momentum!"

On the deck, innumerable cultivators wailed frantically, crowded like sardines, trying to flee into the cabin.

As for Su Yuniang's party, having been on the deck as soldier bull too long, suddenly excitedly took off and lifted their standard helmet over their heads, shouting loudly:

"The Time Ancient Tomb, the Time Ancient Tomb must have emerged!"

"Let me see the storyline on the timeline, that distant instance!"
