"The most universal upper level skill for [Big Toad Qi] is [Circulation Transporting Method]."

"The most universal upper level skill for [Hard Qi Skill] is [Iron Cloth Shirt]. Are you sure you want these two?"

"Yes, I'm sure."

Receiving the [Dragon Emblem] handed over by Zhu Haomiao, the staff slightly furrowed their brow upon seeing the two "Black Iron Dragons".

Black Iron Ascension?

Can such a person participate in the till the land?

Isn't that sending them to their death?

Suspiciously glancing at the young man, the staff opened their mouth to speak, but eventually swallowed back the words.

It's better not to inquire too much about societal matters... reducing the trouble is wise…

Noticing the subtle emotion of the other party, Zhu Haomiao pulled the corners of his mouth, not offering further explanation.

On the other side, inputting the cultivation technique while observing with eyes as calm as one's own heart, the staff maintained a professional smile and respectfully returned the [Dragon Emblem] to Zhu Haomiao.

"All done. After conversion and consumption, you have 6,991 points left in your First Layer Heaven Virtual Points. Please keep it safe."

"Thank you."

Taking back the [Dragon Emblem] and putting it on, Zhu Haomiao headed straight for the Hub of Thousand Realms in the Second Layer Heaven, amazed by the scale as soon as he stepped into the hall.

Huge circular buildings like airports spread endlessly, with passages resembling boarding gates every several meters, leading to a known Illusion Realm.

What's more terrifying is that this building has not just one layer, but is stacked in overlapping layers, appearing over a dozen layers high at a rough glance!

And this is just the Hub of Thousand Realms in Second Layer Heaven, it is said that the one in First Layer Heaven is even more massive...

With a sigh of awe, Zhu Haomiao withdrew his gaze and followed the signs into the depths of the building, finally finding the "boarding gate" in a hidden corner.

"DGUX-0194... this is it..."

As Zhu Haomiao approached, a stewardess with a pleasant appearance compared the info in her hands and immediately greeted him with a warm smile.

"Are you Mr. Zhu Haomiao? Director Liu has been waiting for you for a long time, please follow me."

"Oh, thank you."

Following the staff into the passage, he felt layers of powerful seals scan over him, with a subtle electric sensation sending shivers up his spine.

Experiencing the rigorous security of a formal gate for the first time, even Zhu Haomiao couldn't help but feel a hint of nervousness.

The crucial point is that he "has" two smugglers, unable to withstand thorough scrutiny!

However, fortunately, it seems the treatment for till the land personnel is different, and no one checked his belongings until he entered the final room.

At the end of the passage, a completely enclosed, spacious room came into view.

In the center of the room, a gate over two meters high stood quietly, with a layer of chaotic film swirling inside the gate, connecting to a mysterious unknown world.

Beside the gate, a dignified and refined middle-aged man was speaking with a young girl. Upon seeing Zhu Haomiao, his eyes lit up, and he immediately came forward.

"Little Zhu, you finally came!"

Receiving Liu Hongbin's offered hand with a modestly shy smile, Zhu Haomiao replied.

"Uncle Liu, I'm sorry for keeping you waiting."

"No worries, we just got here ourselves."

Leading the young man to the gate, Liu Hongbin introduced with a smile.

"Little Zhu, this is Bai Linglong, she will be entering the Illusion Realm with you."

"Linglong, this is Zhu Haomiao, your comrade from the same session."

But as they saw each other's appearance clearly, both were momentarily stunned.

The young girl's face was exquisitely picturesque, with a straight yet delicate nose, and features carrying a hint of exotic dimensionality.

Her skin was as delicate and pink as newly blossomed petals, with a faint blush, like the earliest blooming peach blossoms in spring, vibrant yet pure.

However, the circle of light blue crystalline eyeshadow around her eyes flared outward like flames, adding a strong aggressive flair to her sweet demeanor, exuding a mature allure beyond her age with every glance.

Emmm… Isn't this the crazy woman who glared at me during the auction?

I was even planning to take her out first...

Recognizing the girl's identity, Zhu Haomiao secretly mocked, maintaining a polite smile and nod on the surface.

On the other side, Bai Linglong was also somewhat awkward, but upon seeing the exquisite pouch at the boy's waist, she immediately bit her lip angrily.

Unaware of their subtle emotions, Liu Hongbin methodically advised.

"Both of you have just ascended from the First Layer Heaven. Upon entering the Illusion Realm, you will be Original Descenders, so be sure to conceal your anomalies and gather information using your indigenous identity."

"Currently, we've only gathered the most basic intelligence about this Illusion Realm. The time flow rate is 20 times faster, and inside is a place called [Da Zhen], similar to the feudal dynasties of our ancient China."

"You are most likely to descend there."

"In the future, we plan to establish the [Yanhuang Armory] in the capital of [Da Zhen]. Once you gain a foothold, it's best to gradually move there."

"The second and third batch of [Pioneer] are expected to pass the review within a week. Then, you will all gather in the capital and slowly set up the framework of the [Yanhuang Armory]."

With a murmured whisper, Liu Hongbin turned solemnly to Zhu Haomiao, patting his shoulder forcefully.

"Little Zhu, you are the highest commander of the battle group in the DGUX-0194 Illusion Realm, but you don't need to manage chores. Linglong and the incoming [Pioneer] will assist you. Your sole task is to become strong quickly and provide a shield for the [Yanhuang Armory]."

Hearing this, Bai Linglong couldn't help but widen her eyes, staring indignantly at the boy's face.

We both just ascended from the First Layer Heaven, so why are you always overshadowing me?!

Having been the 'strongest king' among her peers since childhood, but facing setbacks as soon as she arrived in the Imperial City, Bai Linglong bit her pink lips in unwillingness, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Liu Hongbin furrowed his brows, knew this proud little girl wouldn't accept it.

But Zhu Haomiao's deep information was too terrifying, and ordinary Transcendents weren't even qualified to know, allowing him to deliver meaningful advice.

"Linglong, you must know, if the higher-ups have arranged this, they must have their reasons. Little Zhu is an extremely powerful talent, powerful beyond your imagination!"

However, this statement only seemed to further arouse Bai Linglong's rebellious spirit. Looking at the boy who appeared even younger than herself, she discreetly turned up her lip.

"Can he be stronger than me?"

Liu Hongbin frowned, knowing if she wasn't convinced, the girl would surely work with resentment, so he reluctantly sighed heavily.

"There's no comparison between you."

Staring into Bai Linglong's pupils, Liu Hongbin was no longer ambiguous, speaking solemnly with each word.

"The difference between you is like a chasm. It's not something effort can bridge..."

On the other side, seeing Bai Linglong's eyes quake in disbelief, her once proud and swan-like aura quickly dwindling as she perceived herself in doubt, Zhu Haomiao hurriedly stepped in to mediate.
