Chapter 146 There is always a higher level beyond the higher level [Third update, 10,000 words, please give me your monthly vote! ]
The wind blows gently by the lake.
The peach blossoms on the peninsula sway in the wind, crystal raindrops roll down from the petals, and light air currents shuttle between the buds.
Baiyujing Pavilion and second-floor terrace.
Lu Fan frowned, a hint of surprise showing on his face.
His mind sank into the [Task] column, and his emotions suddenly fluctuated.
"Main quest: Transform the Five Phoenix Continent into the Five Phoenix World (the quest has been accepted). Current quest progress: Low Martial Arts (the quest evaluation has not yet been opened)."
"Task prompt: It is detected that there are three people in the Ti Zang realm in the current world. The world level upgrade assessment task can be started. Do you want to start it?"
The system's prompt made Lu Fan frown.
World level upgrade assessment task?
Is there such a task?
Lu Fan estimated that the Wuhuang Continent should soon be eligible to impact and upgrade to become a medium-level martial arts world.
However, he didn't expect that it seemed to be much faster than he imagined.
Is it because of the number of people in the Ti Zang realm?
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.
He had a vague feeling that this assessment task did not seem to be simple.
He was not sure what the assessment would be about.
However, a world-level upgrade task would not be easy.
Stare at the system prompt that pops up.
Lu Fan pondered for a long time.
"System, what is the specific content of the world level upgrade assessment task?"
Lu Fan asked the system in his heart.
"The world level upgrade assessment task cannot be canceled once it is triggered. If the host chooses not to accept the task, the task will be postponed for 30 days. After 30 days, the task will automatically start."
"Friendly reminder: Because it takes a short time for the host to trigger the world assessment upgrade task, the task difficulty is increased by 10%. After completing the task, the reward is doubled."
Lu Fan was startled.
His fingers tapped rapidly and lightly on the gauntlet, revealing the struggle in his heart.
Even if Lu Fan does not accept this task now, it will be automatically triggered after thirty days.
Judging from the system description, this task is not a simple one.
"What will happen if I fail the world level upgrade assessment mission?"
Lu Fan asked the question that concerned him most.
It is very negative to think about the consequences of mission failure even though the mission has not yet begun.
However, Lu Fan felt that he needed to understand more.
"The upgrade assessment mission failed, and the world protection power will be cancelled."
A system prompt pops up.
Lu Fan's heart suddenly sank.
This answer made Lu Fan smell something deeper.
The power of world protection...protecting the Five Phoenix Continent?
Why is there a world protection force?
Are there other worlds outside Wuhuang Continent? Once the world protection power is cancelled, does it mean that Wuhuang Continent will encounter other worlds?
If we encounter a world with similarly low-level martial arts, that would be fine.
But if you encounter a world of medium or even high martial arts...
The Wuhuang Continent may not be able to stop it.
Maybe it will be swallowed up by other worlds!
This was what Lu Fan didn't want to see. After all this time, it was not only because of his hard work, but also because of his family in Beiluo City of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Lu Changkong, Ni Yu, Ning Zhao and others are all considered his family.
Baiyujing is the force he spent a lot of effort to build.
He didn't want all this to be in vain.
Leaning back on the Thousand Blade Chair, Lu Fan let out a breath, as if he was venting the pent-up anger in his heart.
"We have to face it eventually..."
Finally, Lu Fan fixed his eyes and made a decision.
"System, accept the world upgrade assessment task..."
Lu Fan's words fell.
The system was silent for a long time.
Afterwards, a prompt message pops up.
"Mission description: There is always someone better than you. As a powerful person who wants to create a fantasy world, you need to be able to protect the world you create from being harmed."
"Assessment mission: Resist the invasion of four wanderers from outer space and the spiritual clone of a master of the plane of the middle martial world (mission settlement standard: Bai Yujing is immortal.)"
Lu Fan's eyes suddenly focused, emitting an extremely bright light.
When he saw the content of the task.
The spiritual energy in the body suddenly surged, and the terrifying spiritual pressure instantly spread throughout the entire island in the middle of the lake.
The water around the island in the middle of the lake suddenly sank.
Everyone on the island was terrified and looked towards the second floor of the island in the middle of the lake in amazement, wondering why Lu Fan's emotions were fluctuating so drastically.
"Sure enough...there is always someone better than you!"
Lu Fan clenched his fists.
As a time traveler, he could accept that there are always other worlds outside the Heavens. In fact, from the very beginning, Lu Fan had guessed that there might be other worlds outside the Wuhuang Continent.
"The mission settlement standard... Baiyujing is not destroyed? It sounds... a bit cruel."
Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
"The mission has been successfully accepted. Four wanderers will arrive in three months..."
The system prompt popped up again.
However, after the words popped up, there was no movement in the system.
In the sky, the dark clouds that were shattered by Lu Fan's palm slowly gathered again and blocked the sunlight.
Lu Fan thought about it, looking at the lake, and fell into a serious state.
Three months... Are there still three months left?
However, Lu Fan frowned, the system said that four wanderers would arrive in three months.
but……
The Lord of the Plane of the Zhongwu World did not seem to mention that he would come in three months!
...
South County.
In Nanjin City, it was cloudy and rainy, blocking out the sun.
As a border town of Nanjun, beyond the wilderness is the land, and beyond the wilderness is the territory of the Southern Barbarians, one of the Five Barbarians outside the Great Zhou.
The Southern Barbarians often went to war with the Southern Jin City, and this wilderness became a burial ground for unknown bodies, where many Southern Barbarians were buried indiscriminately.
It rained continuously.
After a small wave of fighting, the soldiers of Nanjin City dumped all the bodies left by the southern barbarians into the wilderness.
A soldier from Nanjin City, wearing cold iron armor, wiped his hands in disgust.
"Let's go. None of the barbarians are good people. Let's just leave these bodies here."
"The wild beasts of the wilderness will collect their bodies."
The soldiers said.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Several other soldiers also echoed the same.
They have no good feelings towards the barbarians in the south.
Many soldiers were killed or injured in Nanjin City every year, and many families were broken up as a result.
However, the soldiers must hold on, because if they fail to do so and allow these southern barbarians to invade Nanjin City, it will be a disaster for the entire Nanjin City.
Boom! Dark clouds piled up, and thunder suddenly exploded above the sky.
The terrible thunder roared like a ferocious beast, tearing apart the rainy sky.
Wilderness around.
The howling of hungry wolves rang out, and one by one, the hungry wolves, soaked by the rain, stepped out from the grass, their green eyes full of ferocity and greed.
They looked at the barbarian corpses piled in the wilderness.
Saliva dripped between the teeth.
Several hungry wolves looked at each other, and then took a step forward, splashing foul-smelling mud and water towards the pile of corpses of the southern barbarians.
suddenly.
Among the piles of barbarian corpses.
Suddenly.
A figure sat up.
Mud and water splashed everywhere.
The madly running hungry wolf paused, stopped running, and bared its teeth ferociously at the sitting figure.
Click, click, click…
The figure kept twisting his neck.
There was a crisp sound of bones colliding.
"Um?"
The figure sitting upright snorted softly.
Several hungry wolves pounced suddenly, and the gloomy and rainy weather became murderous and filled with the smell of blood.
The figure stood up shakily.
His eyes rolled rapidly and glanced at the hungry wolves.
The originally ferocious eyes of these hungry wolves that pounced forward became dim and they fell to the ground.
The body twitched and lost the breath of life.
The rain poured down, washing away the remaining warmth in the bodies of the hungry wolves.
"What a fragile creature! How lucky I am to have encountered a new and tender low-level martial arts world..."
The figure pinched his orchid fingers and gently stroked his face, and couldn't help but laugh.
…
In Nanjiang City.
Tang Baiyun felt a little uneasy.
Opposite him, a figure wrapped in a black robe stood quietly. Tang Baiyun could feel that the eyes under the black robe were extremely sharp and hot, full of wild ferocity.
"Young Master Tang... Governor Tang has reached a cooperation with our tribe's high priest. Our tribe is very sincere. Young Master Tang should also show some sincerity. I heard that there is a secret place called Longmen in Nanjun. Why not... let the warriors of our tribe see it?"
Tang Baiyun didn't say anything. Although his expression looked ugly, he still had a faint smile on his face.
"The terms that my father negotiated with your tribe's high priest did not include the Dragon Gate Secret Realm." Tang Baiyun said, "The Dragon Gate Secret Realm is a very dangerous place. For the safety of your tribe's warriors, you'd better not enter without permission to avoid unnecessary casualties."
The figure under the black robe laughed hoarsely.
"Young Master Tang..."
"As far as I know, Tang Yimo, the third son of Governor Tang, seems to be the mysterious practitioner that is now widely rumored in the Great Zhou. He is extremely powerful and his strength is not weaker than that of a grandmaster."
"Oh? You mean my third brother? My third brother has indeed inherited the immortal legacy, and now he is my father's right-hand man."
Tang Baiyun looked normal.
"Right-hand man? I'm afraid he's the future successor to the Nanjun governor... hehehe."
The man in black robe laughed sinisterly.
Tang Baiyun's pupils shrank and he clenched his fists.
"My father would not look down upon the illegitimate child born to that slave... He has half the blood of a lowly slave, and my father is not stupid, so why would he make him his heir?"
Tang Baiyun smiled.
“Tsk tsk tsk…”
"That's hard to say. After all, your father values practitioners very much. Your third brother's strength is beyond your reach, so... there is a possibility after all, right? Don't you have the same worries in your heart?"
The black-robed man said.
“Oh, I am also a cultivator now!”
The smile on Tang Baiyun's face disappeared and became as gloomy as water.
"But he is much stronger than you after all..." said the man in black robe.
Bang! Tang Baiyun's pupils seemed to condense into a black dot, and he slapped the table with his hand, his face livid.
The figure wrapped in a black robe looked at Tang Baiyun calmly, with a teasing look in his eyes.
"We in Nanman believe in strength. If you are not strong enough, even if you are the leader of your tribe, you may be abolished... Therefore, strength is the foundation. Mr. Tang... you should be more careful, hehehe."
The flesh on Tang Baiyun's face seemed to tremble slightly.
After a long time.
His clenched fists unclenched.
Looking at the man in black robe, a smile slowly appeared on his face.
