Chapter 1289: Chapter 1296: Displaying Divinity Before Others

Venerable Lianjing watched Jiang Fan return safely and was slightly relieved.

After looking him over, she couldn’t help but show a strange expression: "Daoist friend Wang, where did you just teleport to?"

Jiang Fan forced himself to remain calm as he returned to his cushion, sat cross-legged, and said without a hint of panic:

"A place with a nice view."

"Yeah, I even saw two fluffy white rabbits."

Venerable Lianjing asked suspiciously: "The rabbits you mentioned, are they real rabbits?"

Jiang Fan wondered: "Why do you say that, Venerable Lianjing?"

Without replying, Venerable Lianjing took out a mirror and tossed it to Jiang Fan.

Jiang Fan took it confusedly and looked at his reflection.

Only then did he discover a bright red lipstick mark on his cheek!

Jiang Fan blushed.

That troublesome True Word, looking so pretty, and still wears lipstick?

He quickly wiped it off and awkwardly returned the mirror to Venerable Lianjing.

The latter chuckled softly, muttering: "Even when teleporting, you have to take advantage."

"Men, heh~"

As she looked at the mirror handed back to her, she waved her sleeve gently and said: "You keep the mirror."

"This is one of my frequently used items, containing a trace of my Domain."

"Once you reach the Heavenly Realm, use it against strong foes, and it will trap them within."

"It only works on One-star Giant Kings and below."

"The maximum number of captives is two."

Jiang Fan was taken aback.

This mirror is too heaven-defying, isn’t it?

With this mirror on him, what need does he have to fear Venerate Xinnie?

He could imprison him directly in the mirror!

He quickly cupped his hands and gratefully said: "Thank you, Senior Lianjing!"

Venerable Lianjing smiled slightly: "For someone like you, perishing in the Heavenly Realm would be a loss to our Central Earth."

"When you get to the Heavenly Realm, stick close to me, I’ll do my best to protect you."

Jiang Fan cupped his hands again, sincerely thanking her from the heart.

This was already the second time Venerable Lianjing helped a junior out of admiration.

Such venerables are rare.

At this moment.

Venerable Qian Jiao led three venerables over.

Among them, Jiang Fan recognized one.

It was indeed Venerable Purple Cloud!

The other two were dressed in Confucian robes, with divine rings shimmering behind their heads, undoubtedly venerables as well.

"These three are your fellow Daoist companions."

"I hope you succeed swiftly and return safely."

"Venerable Xingyuan is already waiting for you all in front of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, Venerable Purple Cloud, you lead them."

Venerable Qian Jiao said.

Venerable Purple Cloud cupped hands to Jiang Fan and Venerable Lianjing: "Please, both of you, come with me."

Soon.

On a hill a thousand miles away from Wenhai Academy.

A Connecting Sky Black Pillar, over four feet wide, rose straight into the deep sky.

Jiang Fan frowned slightly.

When he first entered the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, the passage was only three feet wide.

In the Great Wilderness State, it was four feet.

Now, it’s over four feet.

The passage is continually expanding, and when it’s large enough to accommodate an Ancient Giant’s massive body, that’s when they’ll descend to the Lower Realm.

At the same time.

In front of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar, there was a man in a blue robe, wearing a Confucian crown and holding a feather fan, with his other hand behind his back.

He was facing away from the group, gently fanning himself, and said: "Purple Cloud, distribute the Magic Artifacts."

Venerable Purple Cloud cupped hands and said: "Yes, Venerate."

He took out five eye-shaped crystal shards with inscriptions engraved on them.

He kept one for himself, sticking it to his forehead.

The other four were distributed to Jiang Fan, Venerable Lianjing, and the other two Confucian Practitioner Venerables.

Jiang Fan took his and found a trace of Vast Energy within, looking puzzled: "Is this item for emergencies?"

Venerable Purple Cloud shook his head and said: "This is the Heavenly Eye Crystal."

"Once activated, it will record our every action and word in the Heavenly Realm and transmit it in real-time to the sects of Hunyuan State for all disciples to witness live."

"In other words, our actions in the Heavenly Realm are under the scrutiny of the entire Hunyuan State."

"When the Heavenly Eye Crystal is activated, everyone must be cautious in their words and actions."

"Do not behave outrageously, attracting universal scorn."

Jiang Fan felt bewildered.

Wait, why didn’t Venerable Qian Jiao mention that this mission would be showcased to the whole Hunyuan State in real-time?

He only wanted to earn a few Wish Papers!

How did it turn into a public performance for all Hunyuan State?

If it goes wrong, who knows what kind of mockery he’ll face.

Venerable Lianjing, accustomed to such things, placed the Heavenly Eye Crystal at her forehead, which then slowly sank into her skin.

"Most Great Venerates of the Heavenly Human Five Declines Realm act ostentatiously."

"Only in this way can they gather the faith of all living beings."

Jiang Fan suddenly understood.

Upon reaching the Heavenly Person Five Declines Realm, their thoughts are all about Merit.

This second entry into the Heavenly Realm by Hunyuan State seeks to retrieve the remnant of a Great Venerate from a thousand years ago.

It’s a great opportunity for Venerable Xingyuan to establish prestige and gather widespread faith.

If they were to hide their activities, how could they talk about it?

"Isn’t this just showing off?"

Venerable Lianjing said helplessly: "In times of peace, how else can one gather faith?"

Reluctantly, Jiang Fan pressed the crystal shard to his forehead, saying: "Alright then."

"I would like to see what supreme divine power a Great Venerate wields when they take action."

At this time.

Venerable Xingyuan spoke.

Still turning his back towards them, fanning himself, he spoke briefly:

"The mission of Hunyuan State rests on you and me."

"Fellow Daoists, let’s set off!"

Jiang Fan wondered: "Why is the Great Venerate turning his back on us?"

Venerable Lianjing’s mouth twitched as she rhetorically asked:

"A Great Venerate with a henpecked face, versus a Great Venerate turning his back to all beings."

"Which do you think commands more authority?"

Jiang Fan clicked his tongue.

For Merit, Great Venerates of the Heavenly Human Five Declines Realm really have it tough.

They have to be mindful of their image everywhere, paying attention to details at all times.

Venerable Purple Cloud adjusted his clothes and appearance, saying earnestly: "Everyone, prepare to activate your Heavenly Eye Crystals!"

Jiang Fan couldn’t help but straighten his chest.

After all, they were being watched live by countless Martial Artists across the Hunyuan State.

Countless eyes were on them.

If they lost face, they would lose it big time.

As everyone successively activated them.

The Heavenly Eye Crystals of all five, including Venerable Xingyuan, lit up.

At the same time.

Across over a hundred sects in Hunyuan State, countless Martial Artists gathered.

This mission was also of great significance to the sects’ disciples.

The more they learned about the Heavenly Realm, the better their hope of survival in the orchestrated catastrophe.

In a tranquil courtyard of Wenhai Academy.

Venerable True Word stood with arms crossed, face cold as she stared at the five images projected into the air at the center of the courtyard.

Those were the five perspectives.

She sneered: "What difference is there between showing off and deception?"

"Such faith is meaningless..."

She withdrew her gaze, uninterested in watching.

But suddenly, her gaze fixed on one of the screens.

It was Venerable Purple Cloud’s, as his gaze swept over Jiang Fan, capturing his image.

"That wicked thief!"

Venerable True Word’s eyes sharpened instantly: "He’s actually participating in this Heavenly Realm mission too!"

"On what grounds?"

"Everyone else is a Venerate, what use does he have as a Nascent Soul Realm?"

"I hope he makes a fool of himself and embarrasses himself before all of Hunyuan State!"

In the image.

Venerable Xingyuan moved, raising his hand gracefully, his aura exploding with the five Flame Marked Divine Rings.

Blindingly brilliant starlight, immensely splendid.

Venerable Xingyuan’s back, under such light, appeared extraordinarily majestic.

His voice also became modulated, full of an unfathomable mystique.

"Like a great roc rising with the wind, soaring ninety thousand miles high!"

"Go!"

In an instant.

The starlight engulfed everyone, shooting like a meteor towards the upper section of the Connecting Sky Black Pillar!

Jiang Fan watched speechlessly.

Even traveling had to be a show of divine spectacle!

This is really too much!
