"I'm being targeted again." Qiao Xuan suddenly shuddered, and at the same time he couldn't help feeling frightened and angry. "If you want to kill or shave, just tell me straight out." "It's always like this, coming and going, leaving and coming again. What's going on?" However, no matter how angry he was, he didn't dare to vent these words out loud. There's nothing wrong with complaining in your heart, but if you say it out loud, you'll probably be hated. At the same time, he finally understood why Ming Zun had said several times that "too much inspiration is not necessarily a good thing." If the inspiration is high enough, one can indeed discover and enter the mirror world, and can indeed contact Ming Zun and his fellow Taoists through the secret method of water mirror. These are all benefits. There is another thing that was originally an advantage but has now become a disadvantage: the perception of danger and space fluctuations is too keen! The former allows him to be alert physically and mentally when he is in danger or being targeted by someone stronger than himself, allowing him to react in time and prepare in advance.

The latter allows him to detect in time when gods, ancestral spirits, human ghosts and the like descend upon him or possess him, or bestow power upon him, through secret methods. These two insights have helped Qiao Xuan a lot over the years. But now, Qiao Xuan really wants to make himself a foolish person. He really didn't want to live in fear, nor did he want to get involved in the dispute between the Pantheon and some secret force! However, he was not strong enough and was unable to leave when the Qingshui River Basin became chaotic. Even if one asks for some power to protect oneself from Ming Zun, it is like rootless water, which will be gone once it is used up. However, the opponent can summon spirit puppets through magic circles continuously. Even if he doesn't show up, he can use these spirit puppets to kill him. What's more, up to now, I haven't been able to spot the other person, and I only have a vague feeling of being spied on. "Ugh!" Qiao Xuan sighed heavily and thought of a very disrespectful guess: The most likely reason why Ming Zun only gave him a little power and did not help him avoid prying eyes or go to a safe place was that he had given up on him. The second possibility was that Ming Zun wanted to use him to deal with the secret forces that suddenly emerged. This is also a kind of temptation. If the enemy of the secret forces is the Pantheon, and the gods of the Pantheon, then there is room for cooperation between Ming Zun and the secret forces. If the enemy of the secret force is not or not only the Pantheon, Ming Zun can stop the loss in time. The worst that could happen is the loss of a patron, that's all. "What impolite things are you thinking of?" Just when Qiao Xuan was secretly criticizing Ming Zun, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in his ears. Only his voice is heard, but his person is not seen.

However, Qiao Xuan's reaction was relief. Then, with a very strange feeling, he replied loudly: "I am wondering if you want to kill me. If you do, please do it directly, and don't torture me like this." "Torture?" The gentle voice was filled with doubt, "Have I tortured you? I don't think I've ever laid a hand on you." Qiao Xuan had a complicated expression and a bitter voice: "But your concern is a torture to me." "Uh……" The gentle voice seemed very apologetic. "Ha ha……" Another voice sounded, old, mischievous, and cheerful, "Tao boy, you are being disliked." The gentle voice said helplessly: "Master Qiu, how on earth did my master tolerate you for decades? You always talk about things that are not related to the topic, right?" The old voice laughed and said, "Junshi boy is very happy to bicker with me. It can be regarded as a spice of boring life." The gentle voice smiled helplessly. Qiao Xuan was confused after hearing this, but the worry in his heart eased a little. These two people should not be the kind of heartless and ruthless people. At least they still have some warmth and maybe they can find a glimmer of hope. Or maybe, there might be new opportunities. Just when Qiao Xuan's mind was about to go astray, Tao Tie and Qiu Lao no longer hid in the dark and appeared in front of Qiao Xuan. "I have met you two..." Qiao Xuan hurriedly greeted him, but he didn't know how to address him. senior? This is true of the older man. You can't tell the young man's age from his appearance. If he happens to meet someone younger or someone who refuses to admit his age, he will be instantly annihilated when he hears the call of "senior". Honor God? The old ones look like spirit puppets, while the young ones exude an incomparably pure human aura. This…… Qiao Xuan felt that he had lived in vain for nearly forty years, but he couldn't even figure out such a simple question. It's as if my brain suddenly rusted and couldn't move. Tao Tie and Qiu Lao understood Qiao Xuan's state very well and did not think that Qiao Xuan's hesitation was an offense. Ultimately, the problem lies with Tao Tie and Qiu Lao.

Qiao Xuan was affected by the powerful aura fluctuations that emanated involuntarily from Old Qiu, and his thinking speed was suppressed. The reason for this is that Tao Tie has limited understanding of the Dao authority of the Dayin Realm. However, Mr. Qiu's realm was too high, so he was forced into the human-ghost combat unit constructed by Tao Tie. This inevitably leads to the supermodel situation. There are many solutions. The simplest way is to change to the God combat unit template, followed by Tao Tie’s improved human-ghost combat unit template, and then Qiu Lao’s adaptation. Either way, it takes time. Tao Tie waved his hand gently, and a little water mist fell on Qiao Xuan. Qiao Xuan suddenly felt extremely calm, and his thinking speed returned to normal levels. After exhaling lightly, Qiao Xuan smiled shyly: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you two seniors." There is no order of learning; the one who is more capable is the teacher, especially when it comes to personal ability. Regardless of age, calling someone “senior” will never be an offense but will only be understood as respect. "It doesn't matter." Tao Tie said gently, "My curiosity caused you too much trouble, so that you lost your mind, and you were also impacted by Mr. Qiu's aura, so you were at a loss as to what to do." After a pause, Tao Tie stopped beating around the bush and said directly: "I know you are connected to a being named Ming Zun. If it is convenient, I would like to say hello to Ming Zun." "This……" Qiao Xuan pondered and said, "I must ask for your advice." "of course." Tao Tie nodded, and with an idea in mind, he took Old Qiu away, leaving a separate space for Qiao Xuan to act conveniently. In order to express his sincerity, he did not spy on Qiao Xuan's words or actions. In the distance. After stabilizing his body, Old Qiu grumbled and complained: "Tao boy, the level of your creation is a bit low, not even as good as the level shown in the Beginningless Sea." Tao Tie rolled his eyes slightly: "Where is the Beginningless Sea? The Dayong Realm! Even if the principles are different, the difference is not that big. This is the Dayin Realm, the principles are too different. Can they be compared? No!" Mr. Qiu didn't care about that. He just said, "I don't care. Anyway, you have to help me find a suitable body as soon as possible. Otherwise, no matter what I do, it won't work." Then, Old Qiu started to grumble again: "Really? No one respects the elderly. I'm an old man half buried in the earth, so what's wrong with wanting some special treatment?" Muttering, Elder Qiu took out the Taiyi Banner and handed it to Tao Tie: "Look, this is my granddaughter, your Senior Sister Qiu Wanru, who went to the Taiyi Sect to ask for the acquired spiritual treasure Taiyi Banner. I'm not using it well, so I'll give it to you." Acquired spiritual treasures are things that can be freely transformed between reality and illusion. Therefore, he was able to come to the Dayin Realm from the Dayong Realm through the True Spirit Projection Array. As soon as he saw the Taiyi Banner, the Taiyi Xuanzhu mark between Tao Tie's eyebrows began to spin.

Even Zhuzhu, who was in deep sleep, uttered a vague mumbling in her sleep: "It smells so good. I want to eat it." Tao Tie would definitely not be polite to Old Man Qiu and Senior Sister Qiu. He took the Taiyi Banner without any hesitation and immediately put it into the Taiyi Xuanzhu. At the same time, comfort Zhuzhu and let her sleep well. Then ask Guandi and Shenxiao Zhaogong to work together to activate the Taiyi Xuanzhu to swallow the Taiyi Banner. "You are so rude. You can eat anything from Taiyi Sect just like that." Old Qiu saw what Tao Tie was doing and said jokingly, "You are not afraid of being soft-spoken and getting into trouble in the future." Tao Tiehun said nonchalantly, "I don't mind itching if I have too many lice. I have too many ties with Taiyi Sect and this one is not a big deal. Besides, we are behind enemy lines. In order to complete the mission safely, we must increase our strength. The court must reimburse me, otherwise I will quit." Upon hearing this, Mr. Qiu laughed. Then, the two figures appeared beside Qiao Xuan again. A vast and great will has just descended, extremely secretive. If the two people were not so close, it would be difficult to detect them. A hazy water mirror was hanging in front of Qiao Xuan, and a majestic voice spoke calmly: "Two great masters from the Dayong Realm, you want to see me, how can you not see me?" The word "Dayongjie" made Qiao Xuangan dumbfounded. what? Not a secret force, but a figure from another world? hiss! Have I become a traitor? Ahhh, then we must find a way to overthrow the Pantheon and kill Ziwei Tianzun! Impacted by Mr. Qiu's aura, Qiao Xuan's thoughts went astray again and he started to have wild thoughts. Seeing this, Tao Tie stopped sprinkling water and simply put down a layer of isolation cover. Then he said to Shui Jing: "Dayong Tao Tie, I greet you, Master Ming." Elder Qiu then spoke up: "Dayong Qiu Tianyi, I greet you, Master Ming." This is a very formal greeting. Across the misty water mirror, Ming Zun's voice fell silent for a moment before he replied, "Da Yin Zi Hui, nice to meet you two fellow Taoists." Although the status and strength of "Ming Zun" are far higher than Tao Tie and Qiu Lao, at this moment, Tao Tie and Qiu Lao represent the Dayong Dynasty and are the ancestors of Dayong, so "Ming Zun" must treat them seriously. When Tao Tie heard the self-proclaimed "Zihui", he thought to himself, as expected. Since he observed last time that the connection between Qiao Xuan and Ming Zun was transmitted through the moonlight of the mirror world, Tao Tie had come up with the guess that Ming Zun was a pseudonym, a larger version of Zihui Tianzun. Hui means brilliance. Zihui Tianzun was once the ruler of the Dayin Realm, and he must have held a very high weight in the principles related to glory. But after all, he is not the incumbent, so the possibility of him still occupying the authority of the Great Sun Radiant Principle can be ruled out. The three lights are the sun, the moon, and the stars.

What remains is the moonlight and the starlight. Considering that Zihui Tianzun traveled far to the star realm, using the power of starlight to return to Dayin Realm was too conspicuous and would inevitably attract the attention of Ziwei Tianzun. In this way, only the moonlight is left, and it is the moonlight of the mirror world, which is hidden enough. Thinking this in his heart, Tao Tie did not expose it, and said politely: "Mingzun, I am taking the liberty to meet you because I want to reach a cooperation with you." "What cooperation? To deal with that guy Ziwei?" Mingzun acted like he was not afraid of being exposed, nor did he care much about Ziwei Tianzun's behavior. "of course not." Tao Tie shook his head and said, "How dare I, a mere cultivator, talk about dealing with the master of a world? I just want to ask Master Ming to give me some convenience so that we can share some information." "What information can you give me?" "It's not me, it's Dayong Tianchao." "Can you represent the Dayong Dynasty?" "he can." At this time, Mr. Qiu stood up and condensed a ball of light with a certain mark. Ming Zun saw the mark through the water mirror and immediately believed what Old Qiu said, that is, Tao Tie could represent the Dayong Dynasty and cooperate with him. "It's not impossible." Mingzun said, "Let's give it a try first." After saying this, Ming Zun took the initiative to cut off the connection with the water mirror. The first communication between the advance team of Dayong Dynasty and the high-end existence of Dayin Realm started hastily and ended abruptly. But it was a good start after all. Tao Tie untied Qiao Xuan's isolation mask and did not talk to him. He took Qiu Lao directly back to the advance team. At this time, Miao Zongren had already selected several addresses as alternatives for the first forward base. The next step is to carry out physical surveys and investigate the situation of surrounding forces. To achieve this, we cannot do without Tao Tie’s help. Tao Tie returned at the perfect time and was directly called in to discuss some mundane matters. Old Qiu left Tao Tie with a smile, which was very righteous. The communication with Miao Zongren was generally smooth. No matter what Miao Zongren asked him to do, Tao Tie would push it if he could, and would only take the job when he really couldn't. This was not because Tao Tie lacked respect for Miao Zongren, but simply because he did not want to interfere too much in the advance team. The advance team has its own tasks, and Tao Tie also has his own things to do. From a security perspective, both sides should act independently.

Even in some extremely unfavorable situations, the entire advance team can be sacrificed to save Tao Tie. Based on this understanding, how can we get Tao Tie to actively participate in the affairs of the advance team? This is the same as a sculptor destroying his own work with his own hands. In addition, the most taboo thing in team management is issuing orders to multiple people! During the communication with Tao Tie, Miao Zongren noticed Tao Tie's thoughts and did not force it. And adjustments were made in a timely manner. Take on all the work you can do yourself. Only those matters that really require Tao Tie’s participation will be handed over to Tao Tie as originally planned. "That's all for now. We'll communicate at any time." Miao Zongren ended the conversation with these words, turned around and led the advance team, which had already been assigned tasks by the three deputy commanders, and headed out of Jueling Mountain. The advance team was divided into four groups. The three groups went to three alternative locations respectively for on-site inspection. The last group was led by Miao Zongren himself. They started from the seven cities in the Qingshui River Basin and learned the information about Dayin Realm from every detail. The more details there are, the more they reflect the reality of a world! (End of this chapter)
