481: Chapter 66 Departure—Fengyin State_3 481: Chapter 66 Departure—Fengyin State_3 It wasn’t that she was completely careless, she did her work when it was time to work and she improved when it was time to improve, but there was always a feeling that she wasn’t giving it her all.

It was as if she wasn’t really into the game, which even made Xiao Jie feel like she was just playing a game.

But at this moment, her voice was unusually serious.

“You’ve changed so much, huh?

How come you’ve suddenly become so serious?”

Ye Luo said lightly, “What’s so strange about that?

Before, I felt like there was a high chance it was a no-go.

Becoming a god, becoming an Immortal, just thinking about it seemed absurd.

My friend died exactly because they thought too much.

I certainly don’t want to follow in my friend’s footsteps, so of course I took it easy.

But now that there’s really a chance to become an Immortal, I’ve got to give it my all.”

“In that case, we need to come up with a plan first.

Just going with the flow, like before, is absolutely not going to work.

We need to have every step clearly thought out.”

Xiao Jie fully agreed.

“I was thinking the same.

Two heads are better than one, let’s put our plans into action.

First step—reach level 30 and advance to a Demon Refiner.

Since it’s a legendary profession, it must be extremely powerful, and given my recent experiences, I can definitely grind for the top-tier Talent.

Second step—accumulate enough inner cores.

Master Hongchen forced me to take an oath, saying that once the Golden Core is complete, I must see him within 24 hours, or I would trigger the Oath of Divine Punishment.”

Xiao Jie originally had little concept of the Heavenly Tribulation, but after using the Heavenly Tribulation Technique to annihilate nine Demon Kings, he now had some understanding of it, and he knew it was better not to try it.

And the Oath of Divine Punishment that would trigger after his would bring an enhanced heavenly tribulation, which was even more lethal.

Ye Luo suddenly had a brainstorm, “What if you first manage to gather enough Demon Cores, like you did today, and then in one go, rush to level 10 and ascend to Immortality?

Wouldn’t that allow you to directly avoid the divine punishment?”

Xiao Jie sighed, “It’s not about avoiding it; it’s about facing it with the body of an Immortal.

Whether Immortals fear divine punishment or not, that’s the question.

I’ll ask the Kaiyang Star Lord when I get a chance.”

Just so happened, he had three sticks of Black Sandalwood Incense in his bag.

But Xiao Jie felt that it was unlikely to work.

Based on the general setting of myths and immortal cultivation novels, not even Immortals might withstand the heavenly tribulation.

“It doesn’t matter, as long as you ascend to Immortality, then just face Master Hongchen.

What is he compared to the power of an Immortal?”

Xiao Jie sighed, “It’s not that simple.

Master Hongchen has thought of everything.

The Oath of Divine Punishment he made me swear was to see him at the time of Golden Core consolidation, before ascending to an Immortal rank.”

I Want to Be Immortal cursed, “Damn, this Master Hongchen sure knows how to plot.”

Ye Luo said, “Then just ascend to Transcendence.

There’s no restriction on that, right?”

Xiao Jie replied, “That’s true.

But even if I reach Transcendence, just the three of us won’t be enough when the time comes.

Fortunately, by then, the entire Dragon Soaring Knights will be there to face him.

However, it’s better to rely on oneself than on others.

This kind of thing will surely require me to take the lead.”

If others couldn’t beat Master Hongchen, they could run, but he had no chance of escape.

Ye Luo said, “So our goal is very simple, we must quickly help you level up to 30 first, then accumulate enough inner cores, reach an agreement with the guild, and find as many experts to help as possible.

I happen to know a good place for rapid advancement.

The three of us going there together would be perfect.”

“Oh, where?”

“Ghost Mist Ridge.”

Ghost Mist Ridge?

Xiao Jie was aware of the place, located to the west of Sunset Plain, shrouded in darkness all year round, with ghosts and zombies as the most common Undead Monsters, and even Netherworld Ghost Generals randomly spawning in the wild.

Ye Luo said, “My profession can control ghosts, I Want to Be Immortal’s profession counters ghosts, and your weapon also counters ghosts.

Plus, you have the Gods and Ghosts Avoid Talent now, making you even less afraid of ghosts.

The most disgusting thing about Undead Monsters is their curses and physical immunity, but now these two points are basically useless against us three.

Leveling up at Ghost Mist Ridge will definitely get us twice the results with half the effort.”

Xiao Jie’s eyes lit up, thinking that really made sense.

“What are we waiting for then?

Now that the matter here is resolved, it’s time to head back to Canglin State.”

The three of them immediately sprang into action.

After leaving the inn, they bought the necessary supplies, summoned their mounts, and sped off toward the north.
