Chapter 987: Gratitude
Qin Yiyao immediately sensed something was amiss.
However, despite their carefulness along the way, it seems they were still discovered.
after all.
The myriad realms are indeed vast, with many uninhabited places, but they are also bizarre and unpredictable places where anything can happen. Some people may try to hide their whereabouts but end up being completely exposed, while others may plan to make a high-profile appearance but end up disappearing without a trace...
Not everyone can have everything go their way.
"Minister, since there's a Concept Realm expert leading that team, they must be someone who isn't unknown. Perhaps they can recognize your identity." Qin Yiyao's thoughts wandered through Ling Xuzi's narration, and such a conjecture flashed through her mind.
The Conceptual Realm is considered the pinnacle of all realms. Even the most prosperous and powerful civilizations would not have many such experts. The Conceptual True Source level is divided into three tiers: "Origin, Myriad Wonders, and Eternal Life." With each tier higher, the number of experts in the Conceptual Realm becomes increasingly smaller.
Aside from the divine generals stationed in Zixiao Heaven by the Eternal Celestial Court, there are fewer than twenty conceptual realm giants in the entire Zixiao Heaven.
They were all people with names and reputations.
"You're right."
Ling Xuzi's expression was solemn: "The leader of that group has already been identified."
"They were all guilty people, exiled to the Epochal Graveyard to await their deaths!"
"Among them is a banished disciple from four eras ago of my Immortal Dao Civilization, named Jian Qu. He was originally the next Heavenly Lord of Hongmeng Heaven, but because he was at odds with the Eternal Immortal Court, he was punished and exiled..." Upon hearing this.
Qin Yiyao's heart skipped a beat.
"Could it be that the entire team is..."
Ling Xuzi nodded.
"It seems that this is indeed the case."
That explains why a force of over two hundred people, including a conceptual giant, would choose to bypass all the territories of civilizations and travel through desolate and uninhabited remote star seas.
Even though this lineup can be described as luxurious, in the eyes of outsiders, they are all "sinners" who should have died in the Epoch Graveyard!
If they are recognized, and the news spreads widely...
to be frank.
Qin Yiyao's first thought was probably not that they would be besieged by various civilizations because of their "prison escape," but rather that many powerful beings would prioritize finding a way for them to leave the Epoch Cemetery.
As the foremost of the eight great secret lands of the myriad realms, the Epoch Cemetery remains quite mysterious to this day.
But as mysterious as it may be, there is at least one thing that all living beings know: the Epoch Graveyard is definitely not short of great opportunities!
That place where the gods are buried must be a place where there is no opportunity!
Anything related to the gods of the era is a top-tier treasure that is hard to come by in all the heavens and myriad realms. All living beings want to become gods, and there are ways to do so. It is precisely because of this that countless capable people and heroes have given their lives for it throughout history.
If the Epoch Cemetery weren't a place where you could only enter but not leave, I would have long been willing to risk my life to explore it.
But Qin Yiyao also considered that there were probably quite a few people who deliberately committed heinous crimes in order to enter the Epochal Graveyard...
In pursuit of a higher level, it's not wrong to say that one will stop at nothing.
"Does the commander think that Yue Ru might be in that team right now?"
Qin Yiyao's gaze was deep and thoughtful.
It seems.
What happened at the Epoch Cemetery?
If even a "junior" like Lian Yueru can come out, then could it be that her master has already come out as well?!
Thinking of this, Qin Yiyao once again felt a rare mix of "excitement" and "relaxation".
She wasn't without pressure.
However, these pressures seem insignificant compared to the goals she wants to achieve.
If Master has already escaped, then I don't need to be so tense...
so tired.
She felt a little dizzy.
After realizing that her master might have escaped the Epoch Graveyard, Qin Yiyao felt no pressure for the first time in over a decade.
Like a flood bursting forth, one feels light and refreshed in an instant.
"Anyway, she is definitely alive, and she has definitely left the Epoch Graveyard."
Ling Xuzi flicked his finger, sending the Life Soul Jade to Qin Yiyao: "Otherwise, this Life Soul Jade, which has lost its luster, will not light up again."
Qin Yiyao took the Life Soul Jade and felt the warm vitality on it.
"What does the commander intend for me to do?"
“...I want you to follow the destiny connection of this Soul Jade, find her, and then bring her back.”
Ling Xuzi stared at Qin Yiyao, his tone serious.
Let her go?
Qin Yiyao suddenly felt the pressure rising again.
Even if Ling Xuzi himself were to handle this kind of task, it would be very difficult!
There were many guilty people in that group. Regardless of whether they were wronged, they had been imprisoned for so long, and their temperament must have changed. She guessed that it wasn't for the better.
Now that they have escaped from their cages, the fact that they are still together instead of going their separate ways suggests that they have a purpose!
They deliberately concealed their tracks. If they knew that someone had followed the connection of fate to find them, they would definitely choose to kill them to prevent future troubles!
“I know this is not a good thing.”
"But as the head of the department, I must not leave the Jade Emperor Palace without a reason, and it is even more unacceptable to leave without permission. I have too many karmic entanglements, and it would be easy for my purpose to be exposed."
"Besides, you're the only one I can trust!"
“You have a clean background. You have only been in the myriad worlds for about ten years and have been cultivating within my Purple Sun Clan. You have not been involved with the outside world too much, so you are not likely to arouse suspicion.”
If there were other options, Ling Xuzi would never have entrusted such a crucial task to a young person like Qin Yiyao, who had very little experience and was not strong enough to protect herself.
The myriad realms are fraught with peril, and with only the cultivation of the Creation Realm, there is absolutely no way to guarantee a smooth journey.
Most importantly, Qin Yiyao is someone he can truly trust.
At the very least, Ling Xuzi could guarantee that she was definitely not a spy for the Eternal Immortal Court!
The tentacles of the Eternal Celestial Court extend throughout the immortal civilizations and can even reach into other civilizations. This massive force, which dominates the Eternal Heaven and whose upper echelons are almost entirely composed of "descendants of the Heavenly Mandate," is by no means a good dog!
Countless people deeply resent the Eternal Celestial Court and wish it could be eliminated as soon as possible!
That includes himself.
However, the Eternal Celestial Court, backed by the Primordial Dao Ancestor and bathed in divine light, conveys divine will and possesses profound foundations. They are the ones who have always been the ones to kill others. What Ling Xuzi is most worried about is that Yue Ru, the disciple who was "personally punished by the Primordial Dao Ancestor," will be discovered by the Eternal Celestial Court to have escaped the Epoch Graveyard.
Think about it.
We can only trouble Qin Yiyao to do this.
"If you're willing to do it, I can help you out and find some excuse to take you on a long trip without arousing suspicion..."
"No need for further explanation from the head of the department."
"I will definitely do this."
Qin Yiyao did not hesitate for a moment.
After she joined the Jade Emperor Palace, Lingxuzi had always intended to take her as his disciple and treated her very well, even granting her every request.
Those who are so dedicated to seeking the Dao and receiving instruction are truly pure cultivators, and there are not many like them nowadays.
Even without her master's deliberate instruction, Qin Yiyao knew how to repay kindness.
Furthermore, Qin Yiyao was also counting on this opportunity to see her master.
