OBS Chapter 417 Why are we involved twice?
Chapter 417 Why are we involved twice?
The steward of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect seemed to want to speak but hesitated, yet still wanted to.
He really wanted to say that Master Chihe was usually quite upright, and his previous disciple was also so righteous that he was almost wicked.
How could a newly accepted apprentice act so unpredictably?
Of course, at this moment, the manager could only say a few words like "unconventional," and he had no idea that Song Jiu's amazing actions would only increase in the future.
She won the competition, but apart from Song Jiulai, everyone else felt that her victory was somewhat unfair.
Song Jiulai interpreted all of this as jealousy towards her.
The competition won't end in one day. Now that the first round is over, after a few more rounds, today's competition will be over.
The remaining people can choose to travel around the Snow Cang Sect.
After all, it's a rare opportunity to come all this way.
Unlike other places, the Snow Cang Sect keeps many of its magical treasures in the sect city.
For example, that towering Star-Picking Tower.
This is the actual building of the Star-Picking Tower.
This is the most prized treasure of the Snow Cang Sect, a legendary immortal-grade magic weapon.
It is said that what is shown before us is not the true appearance.
Once it is born, it will surely be a sight that blots out the sky.
The Star-Picking Tower in front of us is already magnificent enough, but the key is said to be the nine-tailed fox sealed inside.
After the competition ended midway, in addition to Song Jiulai, three other disciples of the Wanxian Sect advanced to the next round of the competition.
It's not that my sect is too weak, but rather that we simply don't have many members to begin with.
Having three is already quite remarkable. In the early stages, it would be quite difficult for the disciples of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect to compete with the Heavenly Sun Sect.
However, there was no excuse for losing the competition. The other disciples were taken back by the steward for an educational lesson, and Song Jiulai took on the role of 'guide' for the other three disciples.
In the past, this was the responsibility of the person in charge, but this year, with the addition of Songjiu, the person in charge is actually happy to have an easier time.
The other three disciples included a pair of twin boys and the little kid who had asked Song Jiulai his age earlier.
These twins were serious and unsmiling. They had entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect at a young age and were cold and aloof there.
What made it hardest to hold back was that both of them were in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, and according to the rules, Song Jiu should call them senior brothers.
In the cultivation world, cultivation level is the deciding factor, as is seniority. When Song Jiu entered the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, True Person Chihe had a higher cultivation level and a different position, so she didn't have to follow the sect's conventional seniority system.
Those with lower cultivation levels than her should be called junior brothers and sisters, and those with higher cultivation levels should be called senior sisters and senior brothers.
So Song Jiulai led two senior brothers and a junior sister along one of the main streets of the Xuecang Sect.
I also bought a few snacks that are popular in the Snow Cang Sect.
Junior sister Leyou is just like her name suggests, always carefree and happy. She would accept Song Jiu's offer to buy her things.
The junior brothers seemed much more serious.
"No, Junior Sister Jiu Song, we no longer eat human food."
Song Jiulai reluctantly withdrew his hand: "Senior brother, according to our traditions, you are still children. Minors should act like minors!"
The junior brother still wouldn't listen, and he was clearly more determined than Song Jiu, even speaking with a hint of earnestness.
The twin brother said, “Junior Sister Jiu Song, you have only just entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment. It is time for you to start fasting. Cultivators should not be too attached to worldly things. Junior Sister, you have been eating since we came here. We are almost at the end of this street. I think it is enough.”
Song Jiulai: "..."
She looked at the pastry in her hand: "This is the last one. I definitely won't eat any more after this!"
System: "You're so old and you're still being lectured by children! Look at you, others can cultivate their minds, why can't you?"
"Nonsense! I've already passed the Golden Core stage, which proves that my mental cultivation is fine!"
System: "Don't set a flag. That Heavenly Dao might be preparing a suitable inner demon for you. Last time, we managed to break through its code, so it will definitely change its tactics."
"Isn't it?"
Song Jiulai was also somewhat surprised: "Is the Heavenly Dao not without its own consciousness, but rather the law of heaven and earth?"
"Even if it's the law of heaven and earth, in other words, it's an AI program like me that has no self that's in charge. To it, the two of us are like viruses in the code. Do you think it would activate its antivirus software if it discovered us?"
"..."
Wow, that makes so much sense!
Although the system tells me not to be afraid of the tribulation lightning now, what if the Heavenly Dao changes its tactics for the next tribulation?
Song Jiulai now knew how reliable the system was: "System, we'll have to rely on you to overcome our tribulations in the future."
The system was quite arrogant this time: "Hmph, now you know how useful my system is? Look at other systems that get treated like dirt by their hosts."
"You weren't exactly lenient with me when you were scolding me like a granddaughter..., were you?
"...Yeah, that's true. Fine, we're even!"
"Senior sister! Senior sister!"
Le You's call interrupted Song Jiulai's exchange with the system. Le You pointed at the Star-Picking Tower: "Do you know what's locked inside that tower?"
"A nine-tailed fox, a legendary sacred beast," Song Jiulai said casually. "I had heard about it before I came."
Leyou: "Yes, it's a nine-tailed fox. And it's said that this nine-tailed fox has been silent for thousands of years, but it suddenly moved twice this year. Some people say that this is an ominous sign."
"Ok?"
Song Jiulai, unaware of the commotion, asked, "What's going on?"
"It's howling, but Xue Cangzong doesn't know what it's howling about."
Le You shook his head and said, "Before the Nine-Tailed Fox made any move, everyone thought that the Star-Picking Tower was sealing a sacred beast, but it turned out to be true! That's a sacred beast. We haven't seen a sacred beast in Yunzhou Continent for so many years."
Seeing that Le You seemed to know something, Song Jiu immediately asked her, "How was the nine-tailed fox sealed inside in the first place? What mistake did it make?"
Moreover, why is the Snow Cang Sect able to imprison a sacred beast?
"Probably." Actually, Le You didn't know much either. "How could you be sealed away if you didn't make mistakes?"
Song Jiulai raised an eyebrow: "When did it start making a sound?"
"Not too long ago." This time, it was the twin brother who answered: "The last time something happened was back in the Moonlit Secret Realm. Junior Sister Jiu Song knows about the Moonlit Secret Realm, right?"
Song Jiulai's brow twitched slightly: "I've heard a little about it."
Last time, when they went in, the Moonlit Secret Realm did indeed inexplicably have a problem and close down.
It's still not open!
What a waste of the qualification she managed to get.
"The Moonlit Secret Realm appeared at some unknown time. It was the first time the Nine-Tailed Fox howled, causing a tremor."
"The second time was just two days ago. It is said that someone underwent a triple tribulation of lightning in the Dragon Frost Swamp and even showed the aura of the dragon race, which caused the nine-tailed fox to become restless as well. Both dragons and nine-tailed foxes belong to the divine beast race. Perhaps she sensed something."
System: "Damn it, how come both times it's related to our family? Could it be that the rumors about extraterrestrial visitors are true?"
Song Jiulai: "It's been so long, don't you realize it?"
Besides them, who else could be extraterrestrial visitors?
