Finally, after learning the exact location of Jianping Mountain, Yun Sining used a teleportation talisman to head towards Jianping Mountain.
However, she couldn't use the teleportation talisman to instantly travel back to Greenwood Peak.
Such a long distance would take a flying boat several days to traverse, and even a few Saint-level travel talismans would definitely not be enough.
Moreover, Yun Sining also needed to constantly correct her direction along the way.
Fortunately, Little Lime was by her side.
With the little guy's flight speed, correcting direction can save a lot of time.
While Yun Si Ning was flying, the system's light screen suddenly popped up.
"Huh?"
Yun Si Ning was taken aback. This situation was extremely rare and seemed to only occur when some hidden quest was triggered.
She looked at the light screen, her expression even more astonished.
After absorbing the authority of the God of Greed, a new hidden quest appeared in the system.
Unlock the hidden mission: The Journey of Deprivation
However, due to a lot of things going on at the time—first being chased by the Desire Soul, and then being... well, you know—by her senior sister, Yun Si Ning hadn't paid much attention to this new hidden quest.
At this moment, the text suddenly turned blood red, and a long string of numbers appeared below it.
"The Hidden Mission: The Deprivation Journey has been forcibly initiated. Remaining time: one year (8760 hours)."
"The host must complete the hidden mission within the specified time, otherwise the mission will be judged as a failure."
"The Journey of Deprivation: Find a sufficient number of the Three Desires' Authority within the specified time and successfully absorb them."
"When the task progress reaches 100%, the task is considered complete."
Current progress: 8%
Huh? ? ?
A series of question marks appeared above Yun Si Ning's head.
Is this even possible? The task is forcibly started?
This 8% should be the life authority of the god of greed that I currently possess.
"If I remember correctly, I possess 80% of the power over life."
"If that's the case, wouldn't I have to strip away ten complete powers to complete the mission!"
In one year, ten individuals were stripped of their full authority...
"System, what happens if this task fails?"
Yun Si Ning asked herself.
"Mission failed, and the host's title of Divine Depriver will be revoked."
"At the same time, all holders of divine authority will encounter indescribable tragic experiences."
"An indescribable...tragic experience!"
Yun Si Ning's eyes widened.
Or all those who hold divine authority?
She roughly recalled the scene she saw when she used the Eye of Desire, those red dots.
In the Southern Flame Realm alone, there are more than a dozen points of light.
In other words, there were more than a dozen divine authority holders there, and this was only what Yun Si Ning saw at a glance.
How could so many holders of divine authority all suffer tragic experiences at the same time?
Could the system's task penalties affect so many people?
"System, system, what does this 'indescribable' refer to?"
"Please get rid of that lewd stuff in your head, it's not what you think."
Yun Si Ning: ? ? ?
Giving alms... System, you...
Yun Si Ning was completely bewildered.
"The reason it is indescribable is because the future is unpredictable."
"But one thing is certain: if the host fails to complete the hidden mission on time, the tragic experience will arrive as scheduled."
this……
Yun Si Ning's expression turned serious.
Not only herself, but her senior sister was also a holder of divine authority.
She now understood that this so-called tragic experience did not refer to systemic punishment.
In other words, only by completing this task on time can a potential disaster be prevented.
"Is that why you forcibly started this mission?"
This time the system did not answer, but Yun Sining was already certain of her guess.
It seems that after returning to Jianping Mountain, I have no choice but to embark on a "journey of deprivation".
…… ……
Jianping Mountain, Qingmu Peak.
"Senior brother, senior brother, you must think this through!"
Shen Qingyan stood beside Long Yi, trying her best to dissuade him.
Long Yi looks similar to Hua Yuncang; he is an elderly man with white hair.
However, his appearance was not as kind as Hua Yuncang's; he was a thin, old man.
"Qing Yan!"
He scolded.
"I am the leader of Crimson Cloud Peak. It is not your place to tell me how to do things."
Although Shen Qingyan calls him senior brother, the two are quite different in age.
However, Shen Qingyan and Long Yi were from the same school, both being second-generation disciples of Jianping Mountain.
"Senior brother, I have no intention of seizing power."
Shen Qingyan tugged at Long Yi's sleeve, pleading bitterly.
"Senior Brother Hua is currently in seclusion. If you do this now, he could very well lose his life."
"Red Cloud Peak and Green Wood Peak share the same origin. By doing this, aren't you trying to cause internal strife in Sword Screen Mountain?!"
"If Master were still alive, he would never allow you to do this!"
"shut up!!"
Long Yi was furious. With a flick of his sleeve, he knocked Shen Qingyan aside.
With a casual strike from a Dragon Marrow Realm expert, Shen Qingyan's body slammed heavily against the wall beside her.
She groaned, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.
"My mind is made up, please don't try to persuade me anymore."
Long Yi flicked his sleeves and put his hands behind his back.
"Senior brother!"
Shen Qingyan wanted to say something more.
Long Yi frowned and gave a wink to one of the female disciples beside him.
The disciple understood and stepped towards Shen Qingyan.
