Looking back now, Xing suddenly feels a little regretful.
I should have saved two for him.
Chapter 92 Only one of us was kept in the dark
Amidst the towering clouds, atop the towering clouds.
The banner for the "Second Immortal Assembly" was hung atop Jueyun Peak. At this moment, the three immortals of Jueyun, along with the Night Demon from Wangshu Inn, gathered here to discuss how to deal with the upcoming "Pioneers".
"So, is this banner really necessary?"
The True Lord of Moon-Cut Yang, or simply Moon-Cut, who had already transformed into human form, looked up at the banner hanging high above and then hesitated before glancing at the True Lord of Water-Cleaning Mountains, who had also transformed into human form beside him.
"I don't know, it was all Liu Yun's doing. She said that doing it this way would bring us closer to the people of Liyue, so I just let her do it."
Li Shui shrugged helplessly, and the tuft of red hair on her head swayed rather cleverly.
"What? I, an immortal, am upholding the Emperor's principle of rule by man, ensuring this meeting is more relevant to the people of Liyue, and you, mere bystanders, dare to criticize me?"
Liu Yun Jie Feng Zhenjun, who had also transformed into human form, pushed up his red-rimmed glasses with some dissatisfaction and looked at the two immortals who were now drenched in sweat with a hint of reproach.
"True Lord Liuyun, let's get to the point quickly..."
Seeing that the other two immortals were already embarrassed by Liu Yun's aura, Xiao quickly spoke up to help them out of the predicament.
"Hmph... Look at the two of you, both of you are immortals, yet you don't even have the slightest bit of Xiao's awareness!"
Liu Yun... no, in her human form she should be called "Xian Yun".
Xianyun was very disdainful of the actions of Xiaoyue and Lishui, but praised Xiao highly.
"Alright, seeing that the [Pioneers] are about to arrive, I won't waste any more words. Next, let's follow the Emperor's previous arrangements and prepare for their [welcome]..."
"Wait... to welcome them? Shouldn't we test the [Pioneer's] character first, and then reveal some information to them after they have gone through many trials?"
Upon hearing the word "welcome," Xiaoyue was the first to raise her hand, expressing her confusion.
Clearly, this is a typical immortal, who has undoubtedly put many people who have come to Jueyun Mountain to seek immortality to their test.
"Tsk, are you getting senile? Have you forgotten what the Emperor said before?"
Upon hearing this, Xianyun couldn't help but roll her eyes. Some people really have the memory of a fish... no, a "fish" might still be hating someone for a thousand years because of that, but this guy, after only a few days, has already forgotten?
"Um...you mean, the Emperor faked his death to escape, secretly protecting Liyue, and using this [Pioneer] as a go-between to soothe Liyue's pain?"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue scratched his head, seemingly recalling something.
"Sigh... I really did forget. Looks like you've worn yourself out quite a bit..."
Upon hearing this, Xianyun sighed and rubbed his forehead, but it was clear that Xiaoyue had not forgotten about it because of wear and tear; he simply hadn't remembered it!
"The Emperor once said that the power of that [Pioneer] is comparable to his own and should not be underestimated; he needs to be guided patiently."
Gazing at the crescent moon lost in thought, Risui finally couldn't bear it any longer. She leaned closer to the foolish deer and whispered something in its ear.
"Hiss! I thought that was the Emperor being humble, intending for us to treat that pioneer as an equal!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyue suddenly understood.
At first, he genuinely thought the Emperor was being modest and deliberately exaggerating the person's strength, so he didn't think much of it. Now, it seems... the Emperor wasn't joking after all.
"Ugh……"
Looking at that foolish look, Xianyun sighed again, rubbing his forehead.
She was beginning to doubt whether it was a mistake to treat this guy as the first guide. What if he spoke rudely and angered the "Pioneer"? In the end, she might get a hit with a baseball bat, or at best, just a bump on her head, or worse... this Jueyun Realm would probably have to be renamed "Jueyun Ruins".
"Alright, when that young friend arrives, don't put on that arrogant attitude anymore. Be a little more approachable, lest you jeopardize the Emperor's grand plan!"
Xianyun rubbed his temples, looked at Xiaoyue who had been so submissive after he had spoken, sighed helplessly, and then turned his gaze to Xiao.
"Great Sage Who Subdues Demons, I'm leaving the Wangshu Inn to you."
Xianyun was quite at ease with this reliable Yaksha.
"We will certainly live up to the trust placed in us by True Lord Liuyun!"
Xiao nodded solemnly.
"Well, since that's the case, let's adjourn the meeting. I hope everyone will perform well, but don't overdo it and disgrace the style of our immortal clan!"
With a wave of his hand, Xianyun put the banner back into his arms, then transformed into a crane and turned to leave.
Upon hearing this, the others turned and returned to their posts, leaving only Li Shui Die Shan staring blankly at the three who had scattered, pointing at himself in bewilderment.
"what about me?"
No one cares.
Next, a grand drama will unfold in Liyue.
Both on and off screen, most of the main characters and supporting characters know what's going to happen next, but our villain is still busy trying to "seize the Heart of God".
"It is known that the Heart of God is within the body of the Rock God. The Rock King Emperor has perished, and his body is hidden by the Seven Stars. If one wishes to find the body of the Demon God, then a long-standing ritual is needed to bring the clues to the surface."
So next...
D'Artagnan looked at the figure sitting in front of the stage, listening to the storyteller recounting the tale of "Galaxy Baseball Man," and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
Zhongli, a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth, is a rare genius in this world. He is well-versed in both ancient and modern knowledge, and even some old scholars cannot argue with him when it comes to the accounts in some ancient books of Liyue. In addition, there is his status as a guest elder of the Hall of Rebirth...
Simply perfect!
Next, everything just needed to proceed step by step, and... he even made two preparations.
It's a pity that the "Unrestricted Manual" wasn't delivered to her before the "pioneer" set off; otherwise, she would have done him an extra favor.
But it's not a big problem. Next, he'll have that "Trailblazer" help him complete his plan...
And by the way, let's test that Trail Blazer's strength!
Despite noticing the person spying on him, Zhongli remained calm and composed, leaning against the railing listening to music.
One can only say that he truly deserves to be called the most ancient demon god in the mortal world...
He actually managed to hold back his laughter...
…………
Star Dome Train
After two jumps, the train had arrived outside the Immortal Ship Luofu. Looking at the enormous spaceship that resembled a planet, Kiana's eyes were filled with surprise.
"Is this... the Immortal Boat Alliance?"
"Click..."
On March 7th, someone decisively took a picture of the magnificent Luofu Mountain outside the car window. Such a grand and spectacular scene is rarely seen!
Looking out the car window at Luofu, Dan Heng's eyes were filled with complex emotions...
Chapter Ninety-Three: The Prophet on March 7th
Everyone noticed the complex look in Dan Heng's eyes and expressed their understanding.
After all, everyone has secrets they can't tell, and within the train crew, these secrets can be tolerated by family members.
Danheng was unwilling to talk about the past and would not participate in this pioneering journey, a sentiment shared by everyone.
So next...
They will cross the massive gate before them and enter the interior of Luofu.
Provided that……
"This is the Star Train. Repeat, this is the Star Train. I have arrived in the airspace of the Celestial Ship and request permission to land on the ground... or perhaps the deck."
Himeko requested permission to enter Luofu through the communication system, but all she received were intermittent, repeating signals.
After several calls, Luo Fu finally responded, but...
The intermittent sound made Kiana frown slightly.
That voice... why does it sound so familiar to her?
Is it an illusion?
But there was no time to think further. After obtaining permission, the Jade Gate opened wide, and the Starry Sky Train officially entered the Immortal Ship Luofu.
What awaits them next...
Tsk, why not just ask?
In the chat group, Kiana, who felt inexplicably uneasy about the upcoming journey on the Immortal Ship, tagged Xing again.
Kiana: "@Star, we've entered Luofu, but something feels off..."
At the same time, Xingjian, who was on her way to Jueyunjian, stopped with a smile on her face.
"Something feels off? That's exactly right!"
If Bellberg's pioneering journey can be considered a "beginner's level", then Xianzhou Luofu's pioneering journey is a huge one right in the beginner's process!
Compared to that guy who deceived her feelings, even Cocolia seemed much more pleasing to her eye...
However, Kiana does need to be mentally prepared, but we can't reveal too much, since not everyone can have the same leisurely life as her on "Star Ellis".
After some deliberation, Xing responded to Kiana.
Xing: "All I can say is that the pioneering journey within the Immortal Ship will be very difficult. You will not only have to consider the simple task of recovering the star core, but also a series of political issues. However, as long as you stick with Uncle Yang, there will definitely be no major problems!"
Kiana: "I see..."
Upon seeing the word "politics," Kiana instantly understood what she was about to encounter. The next moment, she felt as if her head was being squeezed by some kind of past knowledge, causing a slight soreness.
That was the last thing she wanted to touch...
In other words, the upcoming journey on the Immortal Ship Luofu will be accompanied by various situations caused by internal problems of the Immortal Ship?
It truly lives up to its reputation as a place with a style similar to that of China.
But could this one factor alone cause her such unease?
However, since Xing did not provide any further explanation, she did not press the matter further.
After all, that was her own pioneering work...
Xing: "Oh right, there's one more thing!"
