"Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted?"
Upon hearing the words 'Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted,' Sword Demon nodded thoughtfully, responding absentmindedly to Wenping's command.
Since his last encounter with Ye Wuping, he had been yearning for a real challenge against a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted. He wanted to test his limits and experience the true power of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted.
It's decided then!
If a powerful Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted appears, he will push himself to the limit and engage in a fierce battle to the death.
Retreat to the Sect?
Heh heh.
Impossible.
How could I, Sword Demon, be someone who fears death?
Seeing Sword Demon's joy at the mention of Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, Wenping nodded with satisfaction and then turned to Long Yue, saying, "You too."
Being suddenly named, Long Yue was startled.
"Me too?"
"Only by experiencing life and death training can you surpass your brother Long Ye; otherwise, you'll always be just for show."
With someone like Sword Demon, who loves battles and desires to grow stronger, Wenping had nothing to worry about.
Sword Demon was destined to become very powerful.
Long Yue was different.
Spoiled and accustomed to comfort, even though she had been eager to grow strong and challenge her family's decisions recently, that determination would eventually fade. Therefore, Wenping needed to send Long Yue for training to keep that motivation alive.
If there's a real threat to her life, she can always be brought back through a Teleportation Array.
However, Wenping wouldn't disclose this about the Teleportation Array to Long Yue for now, to prevent her from becoming reliant on it.
"Alright, I'll go," Long Yue responded, then asked, "My handsome Sect Leader, does this count as a Sect Task, and are there any Sect Task Points as rewards?"
"Hmm?"
Wenping glared at Long Yue.
Bargaining with him?
Thinking that family ties matter?
Don't play these tricks; the Immortal Sect isn't a place for favoritism.
But then Wenping thought, maybe giving some Sect Task Points as a reward would motivate Long Yue more.
"System?"
The system quickly responded, "A task has been customized for Long Yue. Killing an Earth Unrestricted Lower Realm powerhouse from Zhengtian Tower with Summoning Magic can earn you 50 Sect Task Points, and killing an Earth Unrestricted Middle Realm powerhouse can earn you 300 Sect Task Points."
Wenping immediately conveyed the system's details to Long Yue.
At the same time, he also assigned a task to Sword Demon.
Bringing back the corpse of a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted would earn 2000 Sect Task Points!
Wenping's Necromancy was in need of corpses, so if Sword Demon could kill a Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, it would be a major gain.
"Thank you, handsome Sect Leader!"
"Sect Leader, I will head to East Lake directly."
After speaking, the two left one after the other.
After they left, Wenping thought of checking on Ye Wuping's condition to see if she was alive. But before he could move, he received a message from Yun Liao through the Sound Transmission Stone.
"Sect Leader, 80 disciples have all passed the second round of the semifinals. The forces from the Red Leaf Sect tried to eliminate us, but we won. Among them, Chen Qin and Ye Wumei performed particularly well, defeating opponents in the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression."
Wenping smiled with satisfaction, saying, "Not just Chen Qin and Ye Wumei; all eighty of them have the ability to fight against the Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression. As long as nobody acts foolishly, there should be no problem securing a spot in the top one hundred of the Red Domain."
Yun Liao responded, "I will ensure they all enter the top one hundred of the Red Domain, not disappointing the Sect Leader's expectations. Also, Jisheng Hall just approached me, asking if the Sect Leader has made a decision yet. They also informed me that the Domain Master will be present at the finals at the Heaven Ascending Plateau, and time is running short for the Sect Leader to decide."
"Ignore them, we'll deal with it after the Seven Domains Celestial Ascension Ranking," Wenping said, putting away the Sound Transmission Stone and losing interest in checking on Ye Wuping.
Whether she's alive or dead doesn't matter.
If she's dead, it just fills a gap for Necromancy.
Given the current situation with threats looming for the Immortal Sect, Wenping planned to make another trip to the Final Forbidden Area to gather more Demon Pills.
To create more Demon Gods.
Or, if possible, to create a Celestial Unrestricted Demon Ancestor.
With nine high-grade Mirror-Breaking Pills in hand, and only a ten percent success chance, Wenping didn't believe all nine could fail.
...
As Wenping entered the Final Forbidden Area, Yun Liao returned to the battlefield.
Upon his return, everyone was in an uproar. Of course, there was more jeering and booing than anything else.
Yun Liao, who boasted he would take first place in the Red Domain.
