At this mont, the shock and discussion triggered by the appearance of the Immortal extend far beyond just the Ga Administration Bureau.
Jiuding Mountain——Fallen Star Cliff:
This place is a realm rarely visited by humans. The towering peaks stretch thousands of fathoms high, so steep that even birds struggle to traverse, monkeys despair to climb, with no path leading to the summit. Yet, beyond the sea of clouds unreachable by common people, the view atop the mountain is unlike any natural creation.
On the summit’s pinnacle, it appears to have been completely flattened by an unrivaled force, leaving a vast, flat cross-section covered with a grand platform ticulously constructed of gigantic green stones and smooth white jade, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
On the platform, twelve translucent jade plates are distributed according to a mysterious trajectory, faintly corresponding to the positions of the Twelve Constellations in the Cycle. In the center of the platform is a massive main jade plate, far larger than the others, with runes flowing unceasingly.
At this mont, on the twelve small jade plates, twelve different figures with extraordinary auras appear floating in virtual form. Of these twelve figures, eleven are shimring, translucent projections, only the poised and deep-eyed middle-aged man standing in the main position presents a clear and solid entity.
They are the twelve core official mbers of the secret organization "Pantheon."
The middle-aged man in the main position surveyed everyone, speaking in a deep voice: "Fellow colleagues, I presu everyone is aware of what transpired outside Longhua City. The Immortal... has truly appeared. This proves our long-pursued direction was correct—the special Items dropped by World Boss activities indeed hold the opportunity to foster ’Ascenders.’"
His tone shifted, carrying a trace of unhidden regret: "However, regrettably, the first successful Ascender did not erge from within our Pantheon."
As his words fell, a sharp voice imdiately rang out from one of the jade plate projections, with a clear tone of complaint: "Hmph! Really don’t know whose decision was mistaken back then! Out of all the choices of World Boss drops, why opt for that ’Dragon Emperor’s Shocking Book’? And what was the result? It’s not even remotely connected to true Immortal Path Ascension!"
The accused Divine Calculation Sky Demon projection fluctuated, indignantly retorting: "Hey, it’s easy for you to say, considering how many people were vying for Boss drops at that ti, plus those True n involved. Getting even one matter was quite difficult.
Since you’re so confident, why not go after the task of seizing Ascension Items next ti?"
"Hmph! If it’s up to , I’ll do it! It’s better than so people who only complain after the fact!"
"Enough!" the middle-aged man’s voice deepened, "Now is not the ti for mutual reproach. Though the ’Dragon Emperor’s Shocking Book’ is not a direct Ascension Item, it did yield three powerful Legendary Magic spells that significantly enhance our organization’s overall strength. The current primary concern is—our leader is already aware of this event. Should we, and how should we, convey the leader’s intentions to that newly erged Immortal ’Hidden Moon Following Wind’?"
A projection with a hoarse voice cautiously stated: "I think it’s wise not to act impulsively. After all, the other party is an Immortal, their rank unknown, their strength unfathomable. Us initiating contact carries unpredictable risks."
Another younger mber voiced a differing opinion: "I believe the focus shouldn’t be on contact. Based on my calculations, the next major world event is likely related to the ’Demon Star Tower.’ The ultimate Boss of Demon Star Tower has a high probability of dropping ’Ascension Items’ again. We must pool all resources to ensure that next ti... we leave no room for failure!"
While these official mbers were caught in heated debate, alongside the Divine Calculation Sky Demon sat "Tree Under the Cicada," whose heart was already tumultuous.
Hidden Moon Following Wind... he had sowhat forgotten this na originally, but ever since the last Ten Extres Formation event, he’d begun vividly recalling—hadn’t they once encountered each other in the sinister dungeon of Xuanxu Palace? Speaking of which, they barely counted as "comrades through adversity." He never expected that the seemingly ordinary Player from back then would now soar to beco a Legendary Immortal!
Unlike the other mbers who broadly assud Hidden Moon Following Wind ascended via a crucial item dropped by the World Boss, Tree Under the Cicada had a different speculation in his heart. The key likely tied to that ’Unnad Taoist Scripture’!
Wang Xie is the holder of the Unnad Taoist Scripture, while the other party then also possessed a fragnt of the ’Unnad Taoist Scripture,’ and it’s precisely him who ascended to Immortality... There’s definitely so unknown connection within this!
He now also grasped most of the Unnad Taoist Scripture, with only the last volu, ’Heavenly Dao,’ being elusive. Hidden Moon Following Wind definitely has the presence of Heavenly Dao; thus he was able to achieve Ascension to Immortality!
The more Tree Under the Cicada thought, the more reasonable it felt, even accompanied by a faint sense of discontent. If he had been a bit luckier, perhaps he would have been the one to ascend to Immortality!
’He must have fortuitously gathered the entire Unnad Taoist Scripture and successfully comprehended it, hence achieving Ascension!’ This notion grew increasingly clear in his mind, even prompting a strong impulse urging him to imdiately seek out Hidden Moon Following Wind for clarification. Given their acquaintance, perhaps the other would rember their past association and offer so guidance?
Yet ultimately, reason prevailed over impulse. The chance to attain Immortality, how precious is it? Why would the other simply impart it? He even cynically conjectured, if the other knew he too was secretly scheming for ’Heavenly Dao,’ might he not, in order to prevent the ergence of a second Immortal threatening his paramount status, act to eliminate him completely? At least, if he were in that position, he would likely do the sa.
