“Real mission? Actual descent?”
Wu Ming covered his mouth, murmuring in a very low voice, concealing his surprise.
Previously, the Temple of the Main God was merely a spiritual transmigration, but he had a feeling that since he brought in that jade piece, it immediately seemed to trigger a mysterious transformation, accelerating the Temple’s original pace of action.
Not only were the missions increasingly difficult, with the difficulty level significantly heightened compared to the original tier system, but the mission progression also accelerated.
According to his limited communications with other reincarnators previously, Wu Ming clearly knew that their original mission frequency was at most once a year or even once every few years. However, now, missions had to be undertaken every few months!
“Now even real body transmigration has been introduced…” How could Wu Ming not understand the immense significance of this? The Temple of the Main God seemed to have received a significant enhancement, greatly increasing its intervention in the Great Zhou World.
“And this time, the mission difficulty is at the ‘Universe’ level!”
In the mission description just now, this point also made Wu Ming quite alarmed.
The Temple’s missions were generally divided into eight levels: Tian (Heaven), Di (Earth), Xuan (Mysterious), Huang (Yellow), Yu (Rain), Zou (Universe), Hong (Great), and Huang (Vast). The missions he had previously experienced were merely at the Hong and Huang levels. Now, however, it had jumped another major level!
“As for this world…”
Wu Ming rubbed his chin, a faint smile playing on his lips: “…if it’s real body transmigration…”
“Old Sun, prepare immediately, I’m returning to the fortress!”
With this mission hanging over his head, Wu Ming immediately lost all interest in continuing his inspection and gave the order directly.
“Alright, alright! This old man will prepare right away!”
Old Sun secretly sighed, thinking that although the young master had some clever ideas, he was still a spoiled son at heart! On the surface, however, he became even more fawning and bustled about eagerly.
…
“Temple of the Main God, initiate connection!”
After returning to the fortress, Wu Ming directly went to the meditation room for practice, tightly shut the doors, and only then sent out the signal.
He had no choice but to do so!
After all, there was still Wu Qing residing in the fortress!
This young lady was no ordinary servant; his orders had no effect on her whatsoever. She would even barge into his room whenever she pleased, without any regard for the distinction between men and women.
However, the practice of the Daoist arts was the most critical matter, and could not be disturbed by external forces. Here, Wu Qing would not dare to act rashly.
[Ding! Reincarnator number Gengshen 69, disciple of the Main God requests connection! Access granted after identity verification!]
Instantly, with a grand and mechanical voice, a circle of light appeared, enveloping Wu Ming completely.
Huala!
Then, his entire body vanished without a trace from the secret room.
After a dizzying whirlwind, Wu Ming arrived once again in the Main God’s space.
“Hmm, it’s just like before!”
He looked around and found that the surroundings were still a vast expanse of white, empty and boundless. Only the Main God’s Temple floated high above the auspicious clouds, radiating ten thousand rays of rosy light, exuding a mysterious and majestic aura.
“So this is real body transmigration? Compared to the previous spiritual transmigration, there’s not much difference!”
Wu Ming also checked his dantian, his consciousness sea, and other critical areas, and then had to reluctantly admit that the Temple’s technology was too advanced for him to tell the difference.
“But the Temple of the Main God has no reason to deceive me. If it says it’s real body transmigration, then it’s probably exactly that!”
Wu Ming’s face was somewhat excited: “Being able to hide my real body in the Main God’s space is like having an ironclad safeguard against death!”
Just imagine, even if I offend a true immortal dragon in the Great Zhou World, I can simply hide in the Main God’s space, creating a separation between two worlds, an absolute defense, making it possible to go anywhere in the world safely.
Moreover, if one stays in the Temple all the time, aside from missions, there would be no external forces that could cause any harm?
This would truly place one in an unbeatable position.
[Ding! According to the disciple privileges of the Main God, reincarnator number Gengshen 69 may stay in the Temple for a maximum of five hours!]
Just as Wu Ming was indulging in his daydreams, the next prompt from the Main God Temple immediately brought him crashing down to earth, prompting him to give the celestial Main God Temple an obscene gesture: “I knew you wouldn’t be this kind-hearted!”
Yet, deep down, he was vaguely aware.
Previously, the Main God Temple merely housed one’s spirit in its space, which didn’t consume much. Thus, the privileges of a disciple of the Main God were sufficient for staying a lifetime.
However, with the current real body, it was a shift from storing spiritual essence to storing physical matter, requiring a significant increase in energy, which the Main God Temple itself was unwilling to waste.
“Having five hours of absolute life-protection after each mission isn’t too bad either!”
After thinking it through, Wu Ming couldn’t help but console himself: “Moreover, after the Main God Temple transformed from virtual to real, the costs for bringing in magical artifacts and other treasures have decreased significantly. Although overall, it’s still more expensive than outside, there’s no profit in reselling materials. Still, I don’t have to struggle desperately to sell my magical artifacts to exchange for merits anymore…”
He could say that his last mission was quite fruitful, but he didn’t gain much in the way of merits—only two hundred minor merits. If not for this transformation of the Main God Temple from virtual to real, which lowered the cost of bringing in various magical artifacts, he might have had to sell off his assets.
Even so, it was still quite troublesome.
After all, the Temple of the Main God wasn’t a junkyard that accepted everything.
Although the exchange list included low-level magical artifacts, none of Wu Ming’s current magical items were considered valuable by the Temple. So far, only two items had met the “buy-back” standard.
One was the official ninth-grade Blackwater Town Earth God Edict.
The other was the Suizhou Pearl, which contained the dragon’s essence and was coveted even by the River Earl!
In Wu Ming’s view, these were rare treasures that one could only encounter by chance. Selling them directly would be a great pity.
“The Suizhou Pearl’s fortune is related to my own cultivation. Originally, I was considering selling the Blackwater Town Earth God Edict to prepare for this mission, and even to complete the cultivation techniques, but I didn’t expect…”
Looking at the mission details, Wu Ming’s expression changed somewhat.
Because the mission world this time was clearly the Ghost and Spirit World!
Wu Ming fell silent, as scenes from the previous mission world flashed through his mind—Black Mountain, Heitai County, and the figures of Shanlan, Zheng Qian, and Tu Yanghao.
In his hand, a faint glow appeared, revealing a grayish-white, elongated stone tablet, faintly shimmering with spiritual light.
“This Earth God Edict was already somewhat mysterious, but I never expected that before I could fully study it, the next mission world would again be the Ghost and Spirit World. Could this mean… that I have a destined connection with it?”
Wu Ming smiled wryly, his eyes gleaming mysteriously: “If that’s the case, I really can’t bear to part with this Earth God Edict anymore!”
…
In the Great Zhou World.
After returning to the fortress, Wu Ming immediately summoned everyone and announced that he would be going into retreat.
He especially reminded Wu Qing that he needed to concentrate on breaking through a certain crucial point in his Daoist techniques, which was extremely important, and not to disturb him under any circumstances.
Wu Qing naturally agreed with a half-smile, leaving Wu Ming somewhat apprehensive.
Fortunately, the Temple of the Main God was now using real body transmigration. Even if this girl eventually discovered that there was no one in the secret room, she couldn’t harm his physical body, so he could feel slightly reassured.
With everything calm outside, Wu Ming naturally entered the secret room early, closed himself off, adjusted his state, and began his retreat.
Three days later, at midnight.
Peng!
In the midst of absolute silence, a circle of light suddenly and without warning emerged from Wu Ming’s body, completely engulfing his figure.
At the same time, inside Wu Qing’s room.
“I have a feeling that my younger brother is hiding something from me!”
Wu Qing, dressed in Daoist robes, was sitting cross-legged on a cloud bed cultivating her energy, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
“Although I’ve checked several times and found nothing unusual with his soul, how could his martial arts, Daoist techniques, and his insight and judgment have improved so significantly?”
This wasn’t that Wu Ming didn’t try to hide it, but the change was just too drastic to conceal completely, especially from someone close like Wu Qing, who had noticed many clues.
“From being a useless waste to becoming like this, unless he underwent life-and-death trials or some tremendous transformation, there’s absolutely no way this could happen!”
Wu Qing was extremely certain in her heart.
After all, before the transmigration, Wu Ming was already a teenager of fifteen or sixteen. At this age, in Wu Ming’s previous life, his worldview might not have been fully formed, but his temperament, personality, and even his fundamental nature had basically been revealed.
There’s even a stricter saying that one’s character is set by the age of three!
From the behavior and influences seen when someone is just a toddler of three or four years old, one can already see the shadow of what they will be like in their seventies or eighties. Let alone a teenager of fifteen or sixteen!
At this point in life, a person is essentially already set, unless some cataclysmic upheaval or life-and-death trial occurs, there is absolutely no possibility of change!
“But my younger brother has always been within the fortress. If there was a major transformation, the events with the Zhou family previously didn’t seem to reach that level…”
Wu Qing rubbed her forehead, feeling quite troubled, even affecting her Daoist cultivation.
At that moment, her expression suddenly changed.
Because within her consciousness, a vast and mysterious presence had surfaced, delivering a message.
“This is… interesting! Truly interesting!”
Her expression shifted several times, finally settling into a faint smile: “No matter what grand scheme some great being has laid out, or what divine opportunity has been bestowed, I shall simply cut through it all with my sword…”
Peng!
A circle of the same light bloomed around her, instantly enveloping her form. When it receded, the cloud bed was already empty.
…
“Back again, huh! The Ghost and Spirit World!”
Wu Ming, naturally unaware that Wu Qing had also been selected by the Main God Space as a reincarnator, looked around at the gray expanse and the empty ground, and was once again taken aback: “Why aren’t there any other reincarnators? Could this be a solo mission for me?”
At that moment, a screen of light appeared before him, displaying a stream of information that coalesced into text:
[Reincarnator ID: Gengshen 69]
[Name: Wu Ming]
[Attainment: Third-tier Spirit Realm Mage, Sixth-tier Innate Physical Realm]
[Equipment: Tian Gong Ring, Black Gold Finger Ring, Five-colored Robe of the Dao]
[Title: Disciple of the Main God]
[Note: Your appearance and attire have been subtly adjusted, automatically equipped with the scenario’s language, allowing seamless communication with scenario characters. These adjustments will vanish after the mission… Note: Strictly forbidden to disclose any information regarding the Main God Temple or the real world to scenario characters. Violators will be eliminated!]
[Reincarnator verification complete. Initiating mission release!]
In an instant, Wu Ming felt the gray mist around him begin to stir, and an immense sense of dread gradually loomed closer.
