103: Chapter 103 Infiltration Mission

[In less than a month, you have taken the entire Spirit Ruins Realm into your pocket.]

[The Western Regions and the Middle Pond, both vast lands, have been entirely incorporated into the territory of the Universal Alliance.]

[Compared to your cautious approach in the previous simulation, this time you simply crushed everything like a bulldozer.]

[A cultivation level at the Late Stage of Tribulation Transcendence in the Spirit Ruins Realm is a true dimensional strike.]

"As expected, strength is the ultimate truth."

Chen Yuan watched the simulation text constantly refreshing in his mind, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

In the last simulation, unifying the Spirit Ruins Realm took several years, involving subjugation, warfare, and acting.

Strength really is everything; in this simulation, there's only one word for it: crush!

[After unifying the Spirit Ruins Realm, your talent Born to be King begins to exert its power.]

[Although the cultivation of the practitioners in the Spirit Ruins Realm is far below that of the Upper Realm, even the smallest mosquito is still meat.]

[More importantly, during the process of unification, you scoured all the secret realms and harvested a significant amount of usable resources.]

[You appointed Zhao Shuyue as the Acting Alliance Leader of the Universal Alliance, responsible for managing all affairs in the Spirit Ruins Realm.]

[Before departing, you summoned Zhao Shuyue and Daoist Lan Hai before you.]

["I am about to head to the Upper Realm. Everything in the Spirit Ruins Realm is entrusted to you."]

[Zhao Shuyue cupped her fists respectfully: "Rest assured, Alliance Leader. Your subordinate will do everything in my power to develop and strengthen the Spirit Ruins Realm."]

[Daoist Lan Hai, however, had a bitter face: "Master... once you leave, if someone from the Upper Realm comes down, I won't be able to hold them off alone..."]

[You glanced at him: "You must hold them off even if you can't. If you dare to run, you know the consequences."]

[Daoist Lan Hai shuddered and nodded hastily.]

Chen Yuan couldn't help but chuckle.

This Daoist Lan Hai might be cowardly, but his Soul Transformation Stage cultivation was already top-tier combat power in the Spirit Ruins Realm.

As long as people from the Upper Realm didn't descend to slaughter them, there wouldn't be much of a problem.

[After arranging the affairs of the Spirit Ruins Realm, you took Guan Qingqing and Yang Cong and rushed toward the Giant Flood Dragon Clan Secret Realm.]

[When you stepped onto the soil of the Upper Realm again, a majestic surge of heaven and earth spiritual energy rushed toward you.]

[Compared to the barren spiritual energy of the Spirit Ruins Realm, it was like the difference between heaven and earth.]

[You stayed briefly in Xiao Mao Village, where Mao Feng received you warmly.]

[However, you didn't delay much and took Guan Qingqing directly to the Southern Region.]

[This time, your goal was very clear.]

[You intended to enter the Heavenly Demon Hall again through the connection of the Tiannan Immortal King.]

[This time, you brought Guan Qingqing along for personal protection. With the Heavenly Demon Hall as a backer, the Xingzhi Academy surely wouldn't dare to act recklessly.]

[You arrived at Tiannan City, and the Tiannan Immortal King reached a deal with you just like in the previous simulation.]

[You would help him win the City-State War, and he would obtain the nine heavens thunder lingzhi for you.]

[You didn't directly ask him to recommend you to the Heavenly Demon Hall, as that would have aroused suspicion instead.]

[Just like in the last simulation, you established the Qinglan Sect in Tiannan City.]

[This time you were more cautious and brought Yang Cong over to manage the Qinglan Sect for you.]

[With Yang Cong, a subordinate who earned your deep trust, the speed of building the Qinglan Sect was also much faster.]

[Everything was progressing according to the trajectory in your memory.]

[A year later, you easily defeated the Ghost King Lion of Hundred Ghost City using your Ninth-Rank Array Master formation techniques.]

[The Tiannan Immortal King recognized your strength even more, and under his recommendation, you successfully joined the Alchemy Tower and the Array Master Association.]

[However, the most crucial part, the Heavenly Demon Hall, had not come yet, but you were in no hurry.]

[After making a name for yourself in the City-State War, the scale of the Qinglan Sect expanded significantly.]

[Many cultivators also set aside your identity as a human and chose to accept you as a genius Sect Master.]

"It's exactly the same as last time."

Chen Yuan nodded with satisfaction.

[Finally, a few days later, the Tiannan Immortal King invited you to his residence.]

[After arriving at the City Lord's Manor, you met Xing Haotian again.]

[Though you were happy in your heart, you did not show it, maintaining the appropriate level of vigilance just like in the previous simulation.]

[After going through a series of procedures, you successfully passed Xing Haotian's test. Next was to participate in the Heavenly Demon Hall's assessment.]

[While waiting for the assessment, you tried to contact Zhang Xiaobai, but were never successful.]

[In the last simulation, Zhang Xiaobai was active in the Central State as the Crown Prince of the Daqing Empire, but his whereabouts later became unknown.]

[You inquired through various channels and even used the Tiannan Immortal King's connections, but Zhang Xiaobai seemed to have vanished into thin air, and no news could be found at all.]

"This kid... where on earth did he go?"

Chen Yuan felt somewhat helpless.

Zhang Xiaobai's biggest characteristic was being elusive.

Every simulation he would pop up at a critical moment, but when you really wanted to find him, he would disappear without a trace.

[You temporarily set aside the thought of finding Zhang Xiaobai and decided to focus on the task at hand first.]

[The assessment at the Heavenly Demon Hall proceeded as scheduled, and you passed smoothly with your extraordinary strength.]

[Xing Haotian officially brought you under the banner of the Creation Hall.]

[Just when you thought things would proceed as in the last simulation, the Heavenly Demon Hall gave you an unexpected mission.]

["Chen Yuan, I have a special mission for you to complete."]

Xing Haotian's voice rang out from the transmission jade slip.

["What mission?" You were somewhat curious.]

["The Xingzhi Academy in the Central State."]

[Xing Haotian's voice became serious, "I need you to enter the Xingzhi Academy as a reserve disciple of the Heavenly Demon Hall and go undercover."]

Seeing this, Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed.

Xingzhi Academy!

"This really is... like a pillow being sent just as I was getting sleepy."

A cold light flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes.

He was just worrying about not having an opportunity to delve into the Xingzhi Academy for intelligence, and the Heavenly Demon Hall had delivered the opportunity right to him.

["The Xingzhi Academy has been making frequent moves in recent years; we suspect they are secretly planning something big."]

[Xing Haotian continued.]

["You are a Ninth-Rank Array Master. With your formation attainments, the Array Academy of the Xingzhi Academy will surely accept you."]

["Your mission is to infiltrate the Xingzhi Academy. As for the true objective, it will be communicated to you when the time comes."]

[You agreed to the mission without the slightest hesitation.]

[After all, you would have to go to the Xingzhi Academy sooner or later anyway.]

[Only this time, going as a mole for the Heavenly Demon Hall saved quite a bit of trouble.]

[Furthermore, you were not alone; after all, you still had an 'old acquaintance' at the Xingzhi Academy.]

[However, before heading to the Xingzhi Academy, you needed to settle Guan Qingqing first.]

[The waters of the Xingzhi Academy were unfathomably deep; taking Guan Qingqing along would be too dangerous.]

[After thinking it over, you decided to entrust Guan Qingqing to Xing Haotian's protection.]

["Senior Xing, I have a presumptuous request."]

["My disciple, Guan Qingqing, has a relatively weak constitution."]

["I'm afraid I won't be able to look after her while I'm at the Xingzhi Academy. Could I ask Senior to look after her on my behalf?"]

[Xing Haotian was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Go with peace of mind. I will have someone take good care of her."]

[The look in his eyes as he watched you held a bit more appreciation: "You kid, you're becoming more and more like your... never mind, go on."]

"What does this mean?"
