Chapter 271: Chapter 264: Fantasy Floor, What Kind of Trash Martial Soul World Is This?? (Double Chapter)

Looking at Qin Yu’s apprehensive appearance, Han Xiaopao suddenly remembered how he felt when he first arrived at the Cyan Origin Immortal Realm, also confused and very cautious.

But unlike Qin Yu, he had no mentor with him; he had to carve out a path for himself step by step.

As the Vice Domain Master of Cyan Origin Immortal Realm and the Commander of the Heaven Shepherd Alliance, he has a quota every thousand years to mentor at least one newcomer.

Han Xiaopao doesn’t like conflict and just wants to cultivate and develop steadily. Though somewhat complacent at times, he still has to find a way to meet the alliance’s quota.

The standard for mentoring a newcomer is that within a thousand years, you must at least bring forth an "outstanding" newcomer. Even if you take on many newcomers, if none stand out, then it doesn’t meet the standard.

Han Xiaopao is quite lazy, so he plans to only mentor Qin Yu and believes in his own judgment that Qin Yu will not disappoint him.

After all, Qin Yu comes from humble beginnings and has managed to step by step make his way here from a small world, which is surely extraordinary.

...

After a few simple instructions, Han Xiaopao said to Qin Yu, "Work hard, I have high hopes for you."

Hearing this, Qin Yu nodded firmly and replied, "I won’t let you down, Lord."

Before leaving, Han Xiaopao thought of something and turned to Qin Yu, saying, "Let me ask you a question."

"In the future, when you go on a mission and encounter an enemy you cannot defeat, what will you do?"

Finishing his words, Qin Yu pondered seriously and then replied earnestly, "Lord, since it is a task assigned by you, and also by the alliance, if I encounter a strong enemy, I will not retreat. Even if it means death and the destruction of my path, I will not fear. If the mission fails, the only outcome is my death, for failing to complete it due to incapability."

Hearing this response, Han Xiaopao paused, then tucked away his folding fan and lightly tapped Qin Yu on the head: "Are you foolish?"

"In the future, if you encounter an opponent you can’t beat, the first thing to think about is to run."

"Our Divine Alliance has spent a lot of resources to nurture you, and if you recklessly get yourself killed, it’s an utter waste and disrespect for the alliance’s investment in you."

"Running and retreating are different; running is not shameful, as long as you are not a deserter. As the saying goes, ’Keep the green hills, thus not fearing for firewood to burn another day.’"

"If you can’t complete a mission the first time, there will be a second and third. Eventually, you’ll succeed, so... prioritize your life and don’t make meaningless sacrifices."

Perhaps seeing Qin Yu reminded him of his younger self, Han Xiaopao couldn’t help but say a few more words.

Hearing this also left Qin Yu stunned, as it was the first time he encountered a leader like this.

In the past, all the seniors and leaders he’d encountered advised him to be fearless and unafraid.

"Alright, I still have some matters to attend to."

"Head out and turn left; a senior brother will be there to assist you, and you’ll follow him for tasks in the future."

With that said, Han Xiaopao waved his hand and disappeared from the hall.

.......

After confirming that Lord Han had left, Qin Yu slowly walked out of the hall, looking at the row upon row of Immortal Halls, feeling a myriad of emotions.

This place is truly grand!

After descending the stairs and crossing a few plazas, he saw a tall, lean man dressed in a crisp black robe, holding an Iron Sword, standing with an air of cool detachment as he sized him up.

"Are you Qin Yu?"

The man smiled as he asked Qin Yu.

"I, little brother Qin Yu, greet Senior Brother," Qin Yu said, cupping his hands towards the black-haired man.

.....

"Jun Moye."

As he spoke, the black-haired man extended his right hand: "From now on, you will follow me."

"Senior Brother Jun." Qin Yu also shook his hand, and in that moment, he could feel the powerful wave of Spiritual Power emanating from Senior Brother Jun’s palm, leaving Qin Yu startled.

So strong!

Even with just a brief contact, he felt how powerful this Senior Brother Jun was!

...

"Come with me."

With that, Jun Moye led Qin Yu to the front of an Immortal Hall.

"This will be your dwelling. Currently, this is the only vacant one, so make do with it for now."

This Immortal Hall is extremely luxurious and splendid, with steps made from the finest Dragon Spirit Stones, surrounded by a powerful Spirit Gathering Array, and various arrays overlapping with grandeur.

"This is my dwelling?"

Qin Yu was also astonished. These living conditions are incredibly good!

Isn’t it said that after Ascension, one usually starts by living in stables?

It seems the stories from legends are deceiving?

"Rest well tonight."

"Early tomorrow morning, I’ll wait for you at the gate. This task is important, you must not be late."

After giving his instructions, Jun Moye left.

....

That night, Qin Yu couldn’t sleep, his heart filled with anxiety.

After all, he had directly ascended to the Immortal Domain, and without realizing it... it seems he had leapt across many levels. He also worried about failing his tasks and betraying the trust placed in him.

.....

Before dawn, Qin Yu was already waiting at the gate.

He waited until noon, but didn’t see anyone.

Could it be... he was already late? That his senior brother had already left?

The next moment, Jun Moye walked over, stretching and yawning, smiling as he said, "Sorry, Senior Brother had some matters to attend to."
