Chapter 339: Chapter 326 Please Cooperate with the Work

Looking back, starting from the foot of the mountain, the urban buildings densely spread to the end of the line of sight, seemingly infinite, full of a sense of life and urban energy.

Clearly under the same sky, even within the same region, separated by a transparent formation light screen, the setting on the mountain and below the mountain differed vastly, as though separated by a boundary between mortals and immortals, appearing to be two different worlds.

Wang Zijia paused briefly, then redirected his gaze towards the Qifeng.

After a brief tour, he headed directly for Thick Virtue Peak, where the Formation Institute was situated.

Although Wang Zijia had been to the Inner Door Seven Peaks many times, he had only visited the Inheritance Peak once, and even then, he had barely explored it. Subsequent visits, he went straight to the Scripture Pavilion.

On top of that, barely two years had passed since he joined the sect, half of which he spent outside. For various reasons, he was unfamiliar with the Inner Door. His knowledge was mostly derived from the materials he had read.

Hence, Wang Zijia was holding his identity card as he navigated. His mana activated, a conspicuous spiritual light guided him.

The Qifeng was very tall, exceeding even the famous mountains and rivers, including Mount Everest, in his previous life.

Even though the seven peaks were very regular, without extensive mountain ranges, it still encompassed a vast land.

Just one peak, the Thick Virtue Peak, was home to the Alchemy, Artifact, Formation, and Talisman Four Academies, as well as the departments of the Inner Door, pertaining to every faction of cultivation skills. This gave a glimpse into its magnitude.

Wang Zijia flew for a while before reaching the area near the peak of Thick Virtue Peak.

Here, there was a vast white building complex, like mutton fat jade, all styled in classical designs, with carved railings and jade bases. It resembled the palaces of heavenly realms.

Even though the light screens of formations could be seen everywhere, they did not spoil the immortal palace style. Instead, they added an even more mysterious feel.

He gently landed in the designated area and put away the Blood Fiend Jade Shuttle in his sleeve.

Before he could use his identity card, a figure approached Wang Zijia and asked, "Dao Child Wang Zijia?"

Wang Zijia turned to see a monk who had just ascended to the Perfected Realm.

This was the first time in his two lifetimes to be received by a Perfected Realm Martial Uncle. This left Wang Zijia slightly startled.

Then he quickly paid his respects and said, "Yes, it’s me. Greetings, Martial Uncle!"

"The Four Academies are interconnected. Since you hail from the Qifu Faction, you are considered a disciple of my peak. No need to be so cautious." Gu Wenhe glanced at Wang Zijia, then said: "My name is Gu Wenhe, I am the one in charge of your Lower Realm matters this time."

"Greetings, Martial Uncle Wenhe!" Upon hearing this, Wang Zijia greeted him respectfully.

Gu Wenhe did not say anything else, but turned and walked towards the building complex. "There is a lot to do, let’s not delay. Let’s go," he said.

"Yes!" Wang Zijia respectfully agreed.

Following Gu Wenhe, he stepped into the palace group, weaving his way through the numerous palaces. For the first time, Wang Zijia witnessed the strength of Wanyu Sect.

The Perfected Realm monks, who were rarely seen in the Outer Door, were seen everywhere here. Wine Monks were even carrying out miscellaneous jobs and running errands like Outer Door disciples, and even odd-job workers.

Truly, Wine Monks were a dime a dozen, Perfected Realms roamed everywhere!

It was then that Wang Zijia understood the term ’Direct Disciples’.

A Perfected Realm monk in Wanyu Sect was indeed merely a disciple, let alone a Big Shot, it wasn’t even considered rare!

Only after ascending to the Middle Third Boundary and becoming a God Monarch, could one be considered to have entered the middle to higher echelons of the Wanyu hierarchy.

Despite having accessed many introductory resources on Wanyu Sect, none were as realistic as this firsthand experience.

At a glance, Wang Zijia understood why Wanyu Sect had been fighting with Bone Soul Sect for hundreds of years, yet he, as a member of the Qifu Faction, had hardly felt its impact, and could hardly see any corresponding tasks.

Because the whole Outer Sect, to the Inner Sect, was just a large-scale disciple cultivation base. If they had to send Outer Sect disciples to battle, it probably signified the situation escalating into an all-out war.

Just as described in the information, the Outer Door, after thousands of years of development, had formed its system. Despite its multifaceted relationship with the Inner Door, it was, in reality, a different world.

Probably due to the impending battle, as Wang Zijia followed Gu Wenhe, he noticed many Wine Monks hurrying along.

While Wang Zijia took in his surroundings and thoughts flooded his mind, the two arrived at the center of the building complex.

There was a huge hall about ten meters high here, as if it was built for giants.

When Gu Wenhe led Wang Zijia into the hall, Wang Zijia felt a shift in space and perceived himself to have become even smaller.

The hall appeared quite large from the outside, but the inside had undergone a significant spatial expansion, making him feel as minuscule as an ant entering an imperial palace.

Looking up, at the center of the hall, there was a large spiritual liquid pool. At the center of the pool, there was an elliptical, hundred-meter-high silver light screen hovering, like a Space Gate.

The substantial power of space emanated with the flashing silver light on the light screen.

Obviously, it was the main entry point connecting the twenty-odd mini worlds. It was one of the most important buildings in Wanyu Sect: the Ascending Platform, its status not inferior to the Scripture Pavilion on Inheritance Peak!

Unlike the unmanned management of the Scripture Pavilion, in the sky above the great hall, three god monarchs dressed in purple elder robes were floating.

Each of them had a giant Dharma Idol behind them, above their heads were floating Dao wheels. They sat cross-legged in the void, like the legendary Immortal Gods.

Wang Zijia mimicked Gu Wenhe’s movements, giving him a respectful bow, then, under Gu Wenhe’s guidance, he moved to a corner of the Great hall and began undergoing various array scans.

Wang Zijia didn’t know what he was doing, nor could he sense the detecting power of the lit up runes; they seemed as harmless as light effects.

Apart from the golden balance in his mind appearing to glow brighter, there were no abnormalities.

Wang Zijia obediently underwent the various scans, likening it to a pre-flight check-up before boarding a ’spaceship to the moon’!

While Wang Zijia was being scanned by the array, Gu Wenhe was not idle; he was constantly manipulating various formation light screens, carrying out a series of operations.

[True Spirit Anchor Failed, reason unknown, switching to Soul Anchor!]

The sudden sound startled Gu Wenhe and Wang Zijia, who was moving, looked at him blankly.

Gu Wenhe only slightly frowned and began operations anew.

As he operated, the array symbols around Wang Zijia once again lit up. This time the scans were not so advanced, and Wang Zijia clearly felt that it was a very detailed detection power, but he still couldn’t capture it.

[Soul Anchor Failed, reason unknown, please switch to Mana, Dao Foundation Anchor.]

[Also, please inform the related target to cooperate. If anchoring cannot be completed, it will be impossible to lock onto and pull back the related target under special conditions after entering the Lower Realm. Everything will have to depend solely on oneself.]

[Or activate the forced anchoring program to break through any stealth means.]

Wang Zijia: "······"

The sudden voice again startled the three God Monarch elders in the sky, who were meditating with closed eyes, and one of them opened his eyes to look over.

Gu Wenhe frowned even more and asked: "Do you have a stealth magic treasure on you?"

It seemed very normal for a True Spirit anchor to fail, but it was not quite so normal for a Soul Anchor to fail.

Wang Zijia: "······"

"I have a top-notch spirit tool!" Feeling the substantial gaze of the God Monarch elders in the sky, Wang Zijia carefully glanced at Gu Wenhe and added: "An Inheritance Spiritual Artifact!"

Gu Wenhe was still frowning and didn’t question any further, nor did he argue with Wang Zijia that a tool belonging to the Lower Three Realms couldn’t possibly shield this place’s detection. Instead, he indifferently said:

"For the upcoming test, actively cooperate. This is for your space anchor, and only for your space anchor, for when we need to lock onto you and pull you back up if necessary. As for what you’re hiding, the Ascending Platform isn’t interested and doesn’t have that kind of detection function."

"Oh!" Wang Zijia responded blankly.

Seeing this, Gu Wenhe started operating again.

The symbols around him flashed once more, and Wang Zijia once again sensed the change in the detection power. This time, he was clearly aware of some power trying to infiltrate his body.

He didn’t resist, carefully guiding it into his body. The force directly rushed towards his Dantian.

Wang Zijia immediately arrived at his Chaotic Sea of Knowledge, under the illumination of the golden balance, nervously guarding against the birth of a new weight.

However, it seems that Wang Zijia was overthinking, that force just circled around Wang Zijia’s Dao Foundation a few times, as if it had finished recording, then returned the same way it came, not taking any detours.

[Mana, Dao Foundation Anchor Successful!]

[Attempting to lock onto the target...]

[Lock established!]

[······]

When the force finished its inspection, Gu Wenhe began frequent operations again. Amid the flashing screen, Wang Zijia heard various prompts.

Gradually, he understood that he was being tested for being pulled back as a precautionary measure in case he was unable to complete the construction of the bidirectional ascension channel!

’The Wanyu Sect is truly one of the top Sects in the Spirit Suppressing Realm, so powerful!’ Wang Zijia exclaimed in his heart. It was one of several such exclamation he had today.

After two years in the Sect, he finally understood today what a top Sect was.

Just as Wang Zijia was lost in his thoughts, Gu Wenhe was conducting various operations, making Wang Zijia change his position a few times, keeping him occupied for nearly an hour, before finally completing the operations.

He then led Wang Zijia to the center of the Great Hall, saluted the sky again, and Wang Zijia did the same.

This time Gu Wenhe didn’t remain silent, but spoke up: "Reporting to Elder Letong, disciple has completed the anchoring of Dao Child Wang Zijia. We can commence the journey to the Lower Realm!"

The God Monarch elder Tian Letong, who had opened his eyes earlier, looked at Wang Zijia and said, "The flow of time in the Qinglian World is abnormal now. Even if we anchor you, we may not be able to receive your call for help. Are you sure you want to go to the Lower Realm?"

"Responding to Elder Letong, I wish to go to the Lower Realm!" Wang Zijia replied respectfully.

Seeing this, the elder spoke no more, and a round white jade order emblem fell into Wang Zijia’s hands like a pendant.
