When Lu Sheng’s figure entered the transmission portal, in an instant, a very faint red light flashed across the Jade Scroll in his arms.
The speed was so fast that even Lu Sheng did not notice the change in the Jade Scroll.
Not to mention the other people beside Lu Sheng.
As the surrounding space twisted and turned, a wave of dizziness struck Lu Sheng. He quickly closed his eyes. In this transmission portal, Lu Sheng even felt his body being pulled and tugged by the spatial passage. It wasn’t until a moment later that this feeling gradually weakened.
Along with the distorted and blurry space, it also slowly became clear bit by bit.
When the space completely stabilized, the sound of birds and beasts rang in his ears.
Only then did Lu Sheng open his eyes and look around.
He found that he had somehow arrived in an extremely lush forest. Apart from the sounds of birds and beasts, everything was incredibly quiet.
Between Heaven and Earth, there floated a faint Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, with no signs of pollution and no trace of any Transcendent’s aura.
"Is this... the Three Thousand Worlds?"
Lu Sheng spoke softly, then took out the Jade Scroll, using its function to conceal his aura, hiding his own presence.
After doing all this, Lu Sheng began to release his Perception, probing the entire forest.
However, the forest was utterly silent. In Lu Sheng’s perception, there were only traces of ordinary beasts and birds.
There was no sign of any human presence.
It wasn’t until Lu Sheng’s Perception extended beyond the forest that he detected the aura of living beings and heard their conversations.
"Hmm? It’s actually Federation language!"
After listening to these creatures’ conversations for a bit, Lu Sheng realized this point.
"Could it be that this is a planet fallen to the Human Federation? These people’s clothing... resembles ancient garments. It should be a planet fallen to the Daoran Sect."
After some thought, Lu Sheng moved towards these people. While erasing his aura with the Jade Scroll, Lu Sheng also used the Seal of Brilliance to disguise himself in clothing similar to theirs.
At this moment, on the main road outside the forest, there were groups of excited young men and women, walking and talking.
"This Pure and Muddy Gate selection ceremony is a once-in-a-decade event. If we can get admitted into the Pure and Muddy Gate, won’t we be able to soar through the skies like those Immortals?"
"It’s exciting just to think about it. But this news is something my father put in huge effort to find out. It’s said that within a thousand miles, many people are already heading towards the Pure and Muddy Gate."
Another young man said with a smile.
"If we can meet these people, we can travel together. After all, if we get admitted into the Pure and Muddy Gate, we will be fellow disciples, so forming relationships in advance is very beneficial."
"Just thinking about having the chance to enter such an Immortal place makes me eager to reach the Pure and Muddy Gate immediately!"
Their faces were filled with yearning for the Pure and Muddy Gate.
Their conversation was clearly heard by Lu Sheng.
"Pure and Muddy Gate?"
"Selection ceremony?"
"Is this the day when a certain force of this world recruits disciples?"
"These people are all planning to join the Pure and Muddy Gate?"
Lu Sheng’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Soon he pieced together the identities of these young men and women and their current situation.
"From their language, this should be a planet fallen to the Daoran Sect, occupied by the Void Insect Race, and now part of the Three Thousand Worlds."
"So... the Void Insect Race has taken over this planet. According to what Senior Sister said, the creatures on this planet must have already become the Void Insect Race’s nourishment. And this so-called Pure and Muddy Gate... perhaps there are traces of the Void Insect Race within it!"
A flash of light appeared in Lu Sheng’s eyes.
"Perhaps I can follow them to the Pure and Muddy Gate to investigate!"
With this thought, a plan formed in Lu Sheng’s mind.
This time, the mission for Lu Sheng and his fellow sixth-tier strongmen was to investigate the Void Insect Race’s situation within the Three Thousand Worlds. Since the Pure and Muddy Gate might have traces of the Void Insect Race, Lu Sheng certainly wouldn’t miss it.
Then, Lu Sheng’s figure appeared on the path those young men and women were heading towards, deliberately slowing his pace to wait for them to catch up.
When they reached Lu Sheng, he smiled and cupped his hands, "Friends... from your direction, it seems you are also heading to the Pure and Muddy Gate?"
Upon hearing this, those few people indeed showed delighted expressions, "Brother, you are as well? In that case, we can travel together. When we join the Pure and Muddy Gate, we will be fellow disciples. Getting familiar in advance is a great blessing!"
Lu Sheng smiled faintly and naturally agreed with them, blending smoothly into their group.
Along the way, Lu Sheng walked with them towards the Pure and Muddy Gate, meanwhile prying for information and learning some details about the Pure and Muddy Gate.
"Let me tell you, I have a distant cousin who joined the Pure and Muddy Gate. He said that nowadays, an elder of the Pure and Muddy Gate is about to break through the Golden Core and achieve the Nascent Soul!"
