g in front of a swamp.Dao Wuming reached out a hand toward the swamp, and with his finger pointing, he saw it slowly split open. From within, a middle-aged man surfaced, his eyes tightly shut.Looking..."Me"

A puzzled expression crossed Huang Qiuyan's face, but she quickly smiled and said, "Master Jiang, if I were really that powerful, I wouldn't have needed to follow behind you and rely on your strength to protect me!"

Jiang Yun said lightly, "Perhaps, if I hadn't been there at the time, you would have still found a way to leave that world safely!"

As Wong Chio-yan said, Ginger Cloud had indeed never put her in his heart.

But as she told herself about the information regarding those other lower realm cultivators, it made Jiang Yun realize that she had always underestimated her.

Even, Ginger Cloud could almost be certain that she had likely learned about some of her information as well.

If so, then back when she was in the Seijō World, her following behind her own self... wouldn't that have been intentional

Jiang Yun was very clear that his true origins, and the things he carried, were extraordinary secrets.

If the people from the celestial domains knew, it would cause great trouble for myself. Therefore, I must ensure that my identity remains concealed.

Seeing Ginger Cloud's expression, Huang Qiuyan couldn't help but throw a wink at him, and said in a tone of reproach: "Young Master Ginger, it's because I'm repaying your life-saving grace that I'm sharing this information I got with so much difficulty."

"If you don't appreciate it, that's fine, but I didn't expect you to doubt me. If I had known, I wouldn't have told you in the first place. It's really true that good people get no reward!"

"Humph!"

After letting out a soft cry, Huang Qiuyan turned her head and ignored Jiang Yun, as if she was truly angry.

If it were another time, Jiang Yun would not even bother with Huang Qiuyan.

But now is a critical time, and Ginger Cloud also wants to know how much Huang Qiu-yan understands about him. So despite his reluctance, he had to smile and say, "Miss Huang's kindness, Ginger naturally appreciates it."

"But, Mr. Jiang was genuinely curious: how could Miss Huang know so much about every cultivator who entered this ancient path to the heavens"

Wong Chiu-wan turned her head and glared at Ginger Cloud, saying, "If you want to know, just ask directly. Why do you have to beat around the bush and suspect me"

Ginger Cloud nodded and said, "Yes, Ginger was wrong!"

Seeing Ginger Cloud admit her mistake, Yellow Autumn Swallow continued, "I think that ever since you entered this Sky-Piercing Ancient Path, you should have noticed that someone has always been secretly watching you, right"

Ginger Cloud nodded again and said, "Yes!"

Even though Wong Chiu-yin was speaking in a hushed tone, she still did her best to keep her voice low. "I got this information from the person who's been watching me!"

Ginger Cloud stared blankly at Huang Qiuyan for a moment, then suddenly raised his thumb towards her and said, "Miss Huang, Ginger admires you!"

Huang Qiu-yan's words do seem quite believable.

Only cultivators from the Azure Sky Domain could have such a thorough understanding of the situation for all subordinate domains.

And those who monitor the cultivators of the lower realms are naturally also the cultivators of the Zhutianjiyu.

No matter what methods Huang Qiuyan used, she was able to get the surveillance people to reveal themselves and be willing to tell her these things. She is indeed very capable.

After a while, Jiang Yun continued to ask, "Then I don't know if there is any news about me"

"Not at all!"

Huang Qiu-yan shook her head decisively. "Don't even get me started. Even the person who told me wouldn't possibly know the situation of every Lower Realm cultivator."

After all, the number of cultivators who have entered the domain gate is enormous!

He told me they were just some individuals with outstanding abilities who were highly regarded by cultivators from the myriad domains.

Jiang Yun only then fully understood.

Actually, the cultivators of the myriad heavens domain didn't investigate the information of every lower realm cultivator who was about to enter the domain gate before it opened.

Instead, they should wait until the lower realm cultivators enter the domain gate. After that, they will send people to secretly monitor all the lower realm cultivators. Based on each person's performance and strength, they will identify those who stand out. Then, they will investigate their backgrounds.

Ginger Cloud nodded to Wong Chung-yan and said, "I understand. Thank you, Miss Wong, for sharing!"

Huang Qiuyan blinked and said, "Thanks are unnecessary. When we enter the first heaven's gate, let's celebrate together then!"

"I'll be counting on you to come with me again then!"

Jiang Yun smiled slightly and said, "Miss Huang is being too polite. If you don't mind, Jiang would be willing to join forces with Miss Huang to break through this Heavenly Gate."

"That's settled then!" Huang Qiu-yan said with a smile.

Ginger nodded, said nothing more, and closed her eyes.

Although Wong Chiu-yin had the heart to chat with Ginger Cloud again, seeing Ginger Cloud's appearance, she could only close her eyes.

Even those who had always been watching Jiang Yun were now closing their eyes, no longer looking at him.

Outside the First Heavenly Gate, silence had descended. All cultivators were patiently awaiting the true opening day of the First Heavenly Gate.

Within the Heavenly Palace, in a grand hall, powerful figures from various domains had gathered. They were engaged in a heated discussion.

"Li Zongzhu, how many lower realm cultivators did you have your eye on this time"

I've only taken a liking to two, and their talents are just average. There's no other way around it, they're the best I could find.

"Clan Leader, I hear that the Underworld under your charge is brimming with talent. This time, you're sure to have a bountiful harvest!"

“In places like this, we try to recruit cultivators from other realms. Our clans have always been weaker than your sects. Even if I take a liking to someone, there probably won't be many who are willing to join our clan in the end.”

"I just hope that this time I don't come back empty-handed!"

Of course, these powerful individuals are the patriarchs or clan leaders of some minor factions within the Heavenly Domain.

I came here to wait until the Yitianque ends, and then I will invite the cultivators from the lower realms that I have my eye on.

In the center, a middle-aged woman sat alone in a corner of the hall, not speaking to anyone. She had her eyes closed, appearing to be meditating, but occasionally she would open her eyes and look at her empty palms.

Every time he opens his eyes, there is a flicker of anxiety in them.

Just then, a rather handsome middle-aged man strode up to the beauty's side, smiling and saying, "Master Yu, I heard you spent a lot of money this time and obtained three observation rights in the Lower Realm. You must have made a great harvest, right"

The beautiful woman glanced at the man, a hint of hatred in her eyes. She said coldly, "Do you have anything to do with Lord of the Free Will Hall"

Indifferent to the cold attitude of the beautiful woman, the man smiled and said, "Ms. Yu, I meant well."

"Soon, your sect will belong to the Zizai Hall!"

"Don't even say that this time, you probably won't be able to recruit a single cultivator from the Lower Realm. Even if you did manage to recruit some, do you think just a few cultivators from the Lower Realm could revitalize your sect Do you think they could make Linglong Pavilion turn against you and align with my Zizai Hall"

To be honest with you, I suggest you submit to my Zizai Hall. As a sub-temple of the Zizai Hall, at least your disciples can live on!

The beautiful woman said coldly, "I'd rather see my sect disappear than join your Zizai Hall!"

"Alas!"

The man shook his head, feigning regret and saying, "Sect Leader Yu, my feelings for you are known to all. Why do you always keep me at arm's length"

If you follow me, how could I possibly wrong you

"At least, I'm a subordinate of the Eight Heavenly Kings in the Zai Di Hall!"

"And, it is said that the one who hosts the Heavenly Court this time is a powerful figure from the Eight Heavens."

"You just have to agree to me, and I can help you speak well of you, so that the cultivators you're interested in join your sect, how about that"

The middle-aged woman simply closed her eyes, ignoring the person completely.

The man finally suppressed the smile on his face and said coldly, "If you don't drink this toast, you'll have to drink a penalty. Elder Yu, you can't escape from my grasp!"

After uttering that sentence, the man ignored the middle-aged woman and turned away, returning to his original spot. He continued chatting with the others, laughing and joking.

And naturally, everyone pretended nothing had happened, for they couldn't afford to offend the Zizai Hall! The middle-aged woman who had just closed her eyes suddenly opened them again. She spread out her palm, and three jade slips appeared in it!t already have an arcane pattern as a seed.However, there are two ways to obtain this kind of seed. One is that someone else plants it for you, and the other is that you plant it yourself! The former...
