Chapter 72: Mystic Realm Enters Reality
Vehicles came and went, the sounds a bit noisy.
Zhang Yunlu was on her way to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall.
She had taken the afternoon off.
Because she placed first in the previous sparring test, and coupled with the fact that most of the school teachers now knew she had begun practicing the Cailian Method, getting this leave was quite easy.
Even Fang Chi, who hadn't gotten along with her much before, didn't dare make things difficult for her now, and even wanted to proactively mend their teacher-student relationship.
However, she didn't pay him any mind.
As for Zhang Xiu, since he was on the night shift, he had already gone to the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall ahead of her.
Today, she planned to complete the final stage of the Cailian Method cultivation and then welcome the upcoming trial.
Unlike the first two stages, the final step, Cailian Method, needed to be completed at noon.
According to the description in the "Nine Qi Cailian Method", this final step is best chosen when the sun is at its zenith, casting light in all directions.
After this, she could also consider joining the Sword Sect...
Just as she was thinking,
"Yo-ho! Isn't this Xiao Yunlu!"
As the voice entered her ears, she saw Chi Jiuyu slowly approaching her on a tricycle.
"Where are you heading? I'll give you a ride!"
She had just delivered something to the Si Lv Hall as instructed by Shishu.
On the way, she encountered a group of Disciples from other Immortal Sects and deliberately rode slower, but none of those people recognized her.
If Shishu hadn't mentioned it beforehand, she would have thought her current fame had really decreased.
"...No need, thank you." Zhang Yunlu gently shook her head and refused.
"Tsk tsk!"
How long has it been, and she's already become so cold.
As expected, I'm the most awesome one; I've 'died' so many times and haven't changed at all!
"Looking at you, are you preparing to Cultivate the Cailian Method?"
"Yes."
"Which stage?"
"The third stage."
"Then that's the final stage? That's quite good!"
This Xiao Yunlu is really good.
Originally, in today's stable world, it would have been difficult for her to discover her talent.
But she was so lucky, meeting Shishu who came out of seclusion.
And from then on, she soared. Now, she's even close to establishing a Heavenly Dao Foundation, and joining the Sword Sect is definitely a sure thing!
Moreover, she also heard that this Zhang Yunlu's parents died when she was young, and her brother raised her.
Wait!
Why does this plot feel so familiar?
Parents died, then she met a powerful person who discovered her talent, and from then on, she soared.
Emm...
It sounds a bit like the protagonist in a storybook novel...
No, no!
According to the settings of protagonists in those underdog novels, you should at least have a few enemies, right?
And a family heirloom!
That must be there too.
In summary, I am the protagonist!
"I'm here."
Huh?
Looking up, sure enough, the Miscellaneous Affairs Hall building was just a short walk around the corner.
She had been too focused just now and hadn't noticed.
What a pity, she still wanted to have a good chat with her little fan, the only person in Xuanjian City she had given pointers to.
"Alright, alright, then I wish you smooth cultivation!"
Saying that, Chi Jiuyu suddenly pushed off, and the tricycle shot out.
Woohoo!
Zhang Yunlu stared at the departing tricycle for a while before turning and walking around the corner.
She really used to admire her a lot.
............
Municipal Building, Mayor's Office.
Knock knock!
The Mayor's secretary knocked on the door and then walked in.
"Mayor, the Si Lv Hall sent an application. Someone wants to hold a large-scale event and wants your opinion."
Huh?
Such a small matter needs to be sent here to me?
"Ask for my opinion? My opinion is to not approve it!" The Mayor waved his hand irritably.
What kind of large-scale event are they holding? Aren't there enough things going on recently?
Wasting away in Xuanjian City for so many years had almost consumed his enthusiasm.
Now, he just wanted to retire peacefully, then find a place to advance to Returning Void and go to the Starry Sky Battlefield.
Exploring the Starry Sky, that's a man's romance!
"Actually, I think you should take a look."
"What is there to see? The current situation is so chaotic, and they still want to hold a large-scale event? Isn't this purely adding..."
Just as he was complaining, the secretary had already placed the application on his desk and pointed to the name - Chi Jiuyu.
The name of the large-scale event applied for was - The Third Trial.
Oh my Little Martial Grand-Aunt of the Sword Sect, you're giving me too much Face; turns out this matter is related to you!
"What do you think?"
"..."
The way you say that, it makes it sound like I can actually not approve it.
The Mayor picked up the very simple application and read it carefully.
To prevent himself from missing any key points, he read it over and over several times.
How should I put it...
The format is quite standard, but it's a bit too simple, and the most important location is actually 'None'?
Yes!
It wasn't left blank, but deliberately written as 'None'.
"What do you think about this?" The Mayor asked the secretary.
"I think..." The secretary, who was about to state his guess, glanced at the floor-to-ceiling window behind the Mayor.
Just this one glance, he froze.
"I think... we don't need to guess anymore."
Huh?
The Mayor turned his head back with some confusion, and then he also froze.
Outside the window, the entire sky was covered by a faint red shadow.
What is that?
Is it another damn Fa cultivation?!
"Quick! Open the satellite map and take a look!" The Mayor, who had reacted, immediately said.
The secretary also quickly came back to his senses and swiftly formed a hand seal, projecting a light screen.
Although called a satellite, it was essentially a type of Magical Artifact.
Things like the ancient Heaven-Peeping Mirror and World-Observing Platform can now be classified as 'satellite' type Magical Artifacts named by Saint Emperor Yuan.
The light screen quickly displayed an image, which was an aerial view of the entire Xuanjian City.
On the map, a huge, faint red illusory sphere appeared in the sky above Xuanjian City. Just looking at the projection, it was about half the size of Xuanjian City.
And it was continuously becoming more solid, seemingly approaching reality from another space.
After staring at it for a while, the Mayor slowly uttered two words.
"Mystic Realm!"
This is a Mystic Realm that is gradually entering reality. That powerful figure behind the scenes actually wants to use a Mystic Realm as the venue for the third trial!
Xuanjian City, with a total area of 487,000 square kilometers.
This means that even without considering the issue of spatial folding within the Mystic Realm, it contains over 200,000 square kilometers.
The Mayor quickly walked to the window, opened it, and walked straight out.
Standing in the void, he looked up.
The Mystic Realm was hidden behind the sky, like a red moon enlarged dozens of times, silent and still, yet emitting a heart-palpitating pressure.
The banner ghosts released by that Fa cultivation when he refined the Ten Thousand Souls Banner were like fireflies compared to this Mystic Realm, which was like the bright moon.
The vast Mystic Realm almost obscured the boundaries visible to the eye.
This scene made the Mayor recall his experiences on the Starry Sky Battlefield back then.
In one mission, he had personally witnessed a small asteroid break through the atmosphere with destructive force, burning with fire as it crashed down.
At that time, he was only at the Nascent Soul stage, and it was thanks to a Celestial Transformation Stage cultivator being present that they were able to destroy it.
But that was the Starry Sky Battlefield!
