Chapter 206 Unlocking Intermediate Level of Gossip
[Lan Yue: Time for daily gossip! Before we get to the gossip, I have to complain a bit more: how could the Heart Bridge competition take so long? Why did someone stay on the bridge for three whole days? What did he dream about?]
Lan Yue carried her teapot and came to the Bridge of Inquiry again, sighing to herself.
If it takes one person three days, when will so many people be able to start the final competition?
However, Lan Yue didn't notice that ever since she sat down next to the Bridge of Inquiry to complain, the cultivator who was immersed in the illusion seemed to have heard something. His ears twitched, and soon after, he opened his eyes and looked around blankly.
The elders of the sect to which this disciple belonged also breathed a sigh of relief.
[Lan Yue: Today I'm looking for gossip, specifically about the Northern Ridge Holy Land. But why hasn't he shown up yet? What's he up to?]
[The disciples of the Northern Ridge Holy Land, along with Elder Wan, have been in the Southern Spirit Sect for so long, surely the people of Northern Ridge still don't know that the Holy Son's biological daughter is still alive?]
[Logically, upon hearing this news, the Holy Son should have already charged forward with his axe. If he hasn't reacted yet, could he have encountered some trouble? What trouble could possibly hold this formidable Holy Son back?]
The moment he uttered those words, everyone in the surrounding Northern Ridge Holy Land was stunned.
What? The Holy Son's biological daughter is still alive? For the past hundred years, the Holy Son has never given up the search. Whenever there is any news, he rushes over like a great vengeful spirit, and every now and then he silently returns to the Holy Land of the Northern Ridge with his axe on his back.
They thought the Holy Son's daughter was long gone, otherwise how could the Holy Son, with his strength, have searched for so long without finding her?
Countless people pricked up their ears, and some even felt that it wasn't exciting enough for them to be the only ones watching the drama unfold, so they quickly ran outside the scope of the voice and quietly pulled over all the other leisurely disciples, managers, and elders of the Northern Ridge Holy Land.
The most recent person to be watching the drama unfold was the Holy Lord of Beiling, who was also very puzzled. He had sent people to search for the Holy Son some time ago, but they couldn't find him even after searching the entire secret realm.
That's just a newly opened secret realm, how dangerous could it be? And what could possibly trap the other party?
He really wanted to know too!
[Lan Yue: But I've never seen the Holy Son of Beiling, nor can I find his location.]
Lan Yue felt very regretful, thinking that she probably wouldn't be able to enjoy this melon.
[System: You have accumulated 30,000 points. Do you want to upgrade?]
The system suddenly popped up, and Lan Yue's eyes lit up.
So she can level up now? The system said she needed 30,000 points to level up, and she thought it would take her forever to accumulate them.
I didn't expect that the 30,000 points weren't calculated from the most recent time, but from the very beginning!
That's really something, obtained without any effort!
[Lan Yue: Of course, upgrade!]
A crisp sound came from the system, and Lan Yue's panel changed.
[Lan Yue: Human Race]
Level: Intermediate bystander
Cultivation level: Late Foundation Establishment
Current points: 5000
Spiritual power converted: 000/000
Transformed IQ: 30]
[Intermediate-level observer: Can search by name to find locations and enjoy the gossip remotely. Increased reach and doubled points.]
Upon hearing the announcement of doubled points, Lan Yue's mouth watered.
The next few melons she ate could even have their rewards doubled. Does that mean that just eating one melon would guarantee at least 1000 points?
If the melon is judged by the system to be of a relatively high level, can she directly receive 6000 points?
Thinking of this, Lan Yue's breathing quickened. She hadn't expected the upgrade to be so appealing. If she upgraded to a high-level gossipmonger, wouldn't that cause an uproar?
[Lan Yue: System, having you is truly wonderful! No need to say more, you're the best system in the world!]
system:"..."
Now it's the best system in the world again. Before, when it was short of points, who said it was a big pig's trotter?
Lan Yue quickly entered the name of the Holy Son of Beiling and found his location.
[Lan Yue: The Heavenly Secret Realm? This secret realm seems familiar. Could it be the legendary secret realm where immortals perished?]
[So that's how it is! No wonder the Holy Son of Northern Ridge hadn't made a move; he was trapped in this secret realm by those demons. No wonder these demons hadn't made any significant moves; they had already secretly accomplished something big!]
Everyone: "!!!!"
Their holy son was actually trapped by the demons? How could that be? Even the Demon King of the Demon Realm couldn't overpower them in terms of strength!
So what exactly happened? That wretched demon.
"So your holy son has been trapped by the demons. You'd better send someone to rescue him as soon as possible. If the demons use the holy son to do something, it will be fatal to the entire cultivation world."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder immediately transmitted his voice to the Holy Lord of Beiling.
Do you remember more than forty years ago, when an elder of the Southern Spirit Sect provoked the Holy Son of the Northern Ridge? The hot-tempered Holy Son immediately grabbed an axe and charged over, cutting the mountain where the elder was located in half. That mountain has not recovered to this day.
Back then, the Holy Son of Beiling was already so powerful, let alone now, so many years later.
All I can say is that those demons are truly despicable; they're capable of anything!
The Holy Lord of Beiling replied with a solemn expression, "The secret realm our Holy Son went to before was just a newly opened small secret realm. The danger level of that secret realm was low. We always thought that the Holy Son might be trapped in some formation and unable to receive information from the transmission stone."
"Now it seems that even that small secret realm might be a conspiracy by the demons, sending us false information and taking the opportunity to teleport the Holy Son into the Futian Secret Realm."
The Futian Secret Realm is the secret realm where immortals perished. It is full of hidden dangers and ancient formations that remain everywhere.
If the demons use some of the formations within the secret realm to trap the Holy Son, they might actually succeed.
Lan Yue let out another "Eh" over there.
[Lan Yue: It seems there's more than one trapped in the Futian Secret Realm? Besides the Northern Ridge Holy Son, there's even a Supreme Elder from the Southern Spirit Sect?]
[Wait, isn't the Southern Spirit Sect my sect? Holy crap, even the Supreme Elder is trapped!]
[Besides the Supreme Elder, there's also an Insect Witch from the Western Regions Insect Valley! These three elders are trapped together, and their coordinates are very close!]
The elders of the Southern Spirit Sect: "!!!!"
They, who were originally sighing over the sacred land of Beiling, suddenly became nervous.
Not only that, even the twin siblings looked worried. After all, they had lived in the Western Regions since childhood, and they had grown up listening to the legends of insect shamans.
It is said that this insect shaman was extremely powerful, managing to save the impoverished Insect Valley. He even controlled tens of thousands of insect slaves, leading the other insect masters of the Insect Valley to resist crisis after crisis.
Besides those deeds, this insect shaman even possesses the bloodline of an ancient insect shaman. As long as he doesn't cause any problems, the Insect Valley can continue to exist, and the Southern Region can develop normally.
And those demons actually captured even his insect shaman? How outrageous!
The Northern Ridge Holy Land, the Southern Spirit Sect, and the twin siblings were all deeply worried.
In particular, the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the Southern Spirit Sect immediately sent messages to their elders with higher cultivation levels, asking them to quickly go to the Futian Secret Realm to provide support.
"As expected, bad deeds will eventually be punished. Your two sects have been protecting each other, and other sects have been unable to deal with you. That's why the demons have come to deal with you!" the Holy Spirit Sect Master roared.
He still feels ashamed, but now that both the Northern Ridge Holy Land and the Southern Spirit Sect are in trouble, he is overjoyed!
"Indeed, the cycle of karma is real; every cause has its effect." The Black Serpent Sect Master also joined in the fun.
"You two sect leaders should say less. Such an important matter, and the powerful figures from three fields of our cultivation world have been captured. Is this something to laugh about?" The Crimson Moon Sect Leader looked displeased.
"Do you know what this means? If the demons control these three seniors, do you think none of the rest of us can escape?"
"These three seniors are extremely powerful. It's not impossible that the demon race could use them to massacre the cultivation world."
"Do you think your few ounces of flesh will be enough for those seniors to chop off?"
The two sect leaders: "..."
