First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

On the luxurious grand bed, the woman in a silk open-front robe slowly sat up, her brow deeply furrowed.

”Why would I dream...”

The speaker was none other than the Desolate Lord Disaster Mother of this Great Wilderness Realm.

At her level, under normal circumstances, dreaming was impossible.

It was normal for thoughts to remain undisturbed by external influences.

But now...

For a moment.

Chaotic thoughts churned in the Desolate Lord Disaster Mother’s mind. She wasn’t unaware of what was happening outside.

Lu Ding had already gone on a killing spree in Overcast Mountain.But that had nothing to do with the Great Wilderness Realm.

The Great Wilderness Realm was so hidden.

A self-contained world, a paradise detached from the outside. Outsiders couldn’t enter even if they wanted to.

Right now, there were no members of the Great Wilderness Realm wandering outside either.

So there was no risk of anyone leading them here.

As long as they hid well.

After eight or ten years—just a blink of an eye for these demons—the heat would die down, and they could come out to assess the situation.

But now, the moment the Desolate Lord Disaster Mother lay down for that eight-to-ten-year sleep, she was jolted awake. No matter what, she couldn’t fall back asleep. Her heart was filled with a foreboding sense.

As if, in the next second, Lu Ding would come knocking.

Yet she racked her brains but couldn’t figure out how Lu Ding could possibly find a way in.

The Great Wilderness Realm could only be opened from the inside. Even for members who went out, returning required reporting through secret techniques, and then someone inside would open the door.

Thinking of all this...

The Desolate Lord Disaster Mother gently rubbed her temples: ”There’s no way he can get in.”

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

Lu Ding was recounting basic intelligence about the Great Wilderness Realm to Gongyang Qingrou.

His demeanor was polite, his tone courteous.

Their earlier conversation had been rather stiff, because Lu Ding hadn’t known what this person was here for.

And since she was connected to Ji Continent, stiffness was unavoidable.

But now, with politeness, it was because both parties had reached a cooperative agreement.

Mutual benefit—that was only right.

Lu Ding needed Gongyang Qingrou’s current Deification Ninth Level.

And Gongyang Qingrou needed Lu Ding’s promising future.

After he finished speaking.

Gongyang Qingrou thought for a moment: ”I have two methods. One is clever. I can use secret techniques to probe. I’ll definitely be able to find them, but it might take some time.”

When it came to finding people.

Two-Straight Tower, as an assassin organization, was professional.

And as the leader of Two-Straight Tower, this was precisely Gongyang Qingrou’s area of expertise.

She continued.

”The second method is more direct. Lu Ding, do you care about changing the terrain of Overcast Mountain?”

Lu Ding asked instinctively: ”What do you mean?”

He had an idea, but he found it somewhat outrageous. The area of Overcast Mountain was no small matter...

”I can shatter this entire stretch of Overcast Mountain, forcing them out. If they don’t come out, the shock will kill them.”

Well.

Another ruthless and merciless one.

Shattering Overcast Mountain.

Such an unpretentious, yet mind-boggling statement.

An attack powerful enough to shatter the entire Overcast Mountain might not force out the demonic spirits of the Great Wilderness Realm.

But its sheer force would be enough to kill ninety-nine percent of the demons inside.

That was practically genocide.

At that moment, Lu Ding realized that the Deification Ninth Level in front of him seemed different from the Deification Ninth Level he had understood and seen before.

The numbers were way too overpowered.

Even if Lu Ding fully unleashed the two divine abilities, [Golden Ao Island] and [Human King’s Loose Hands], he might not be able to shatter even half of such a vast Overcast Mountain.

He thought for a moment and asked: ”Are all Deification Ninth Levels that strong where you’re from?”

Gongyang Qingrou thought about it seriously: ”Not really. I’m only this strong because I spent a short time training at Lü Mountain on the Demon Continent.”

”But the Deification Ninth Levels of the Lu Family might be on par with me.”

”Also, at Deification Ninth Level, the gap between individuals in this realm is enormous.”

”As the saying goes, better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. Once you reach Deification Ninth Level, you should go to the First Circle. But when you get there, although Deification Ninth Levels have some status, it’s definitely lower than what you have here.”

”Whether it’s the Lu Family, Lü Mountain, or other major powers, most Qi Refiners, upon reaching Deification Ninth Level, constantly suppress and accumulate their cultivation strength.”

”Only after restraining themselves to a certain degree do they consider ascending to the First Circle, and then they break through immediately.”

”In your terms, it’s to seek a higher social standing, to avoid starting from the middle or lower rungs. Using that higher social standing as a pioneer, they carve out a broader world for later disciples and followers from the same power!”

”Only those with insufficient backing, lacking resources, or poor talent, upon reaching full Deification Ninth Level, would immediately take the risk to go to the First Circle, seeking more resources to break through.”

This explanation seemed to open a new door for Lu Ding.

But upon closer thought, it made perfect sense.

Perhaps Gongyang Qingrou’s way of putting it sounded a bit odd.

But put another way.

Going from the Third Circle to the Second Circle was like developing from a small ordinary county to a city.

Going from the Second Circle to the First Circle was like going from a city to a province.

Although overall, a province was definitely wealthier than a city.

But if your resources and connections were all in the city, then continuously accumulating and making money in the city was more promising than heading straight to the province to develop.

When you had enough accumulation, you could go directly to the province and open a big company...

Thinking about it this way, Lu Ding thought: Damn, that makes so much sense.

Wasn’t this just primitive capital accumulation!?

The stuff he’d learned in school was still haunting him!

At this point, Lu Ding didn’t yet know that Great Han was also doing primitive capital accumulation. And that accumulation process was called the Hundred-Year Ten Thousand Immortals Plan.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ding felt these things were still too far away from him.

Right now, he was only at Spirit Refinement Second Level.

It was still early.

No rush.

Returning to the earlier topic: ”If we go with the clever method, how long will it take?”

The main thing was, the demons in the Great Wilderness Realm were all contribution points. If he had no other choice, Lu Ding really didn’t want them all killed by shockwaves.

They were all harvest!

Gongyang Qingrou raised three fingers: ”Give me three days to try first.”

Lu Ding nodded: ”Alright.”

He stood up.

A single [Celestial Shift].

BOOM!!!!!!

The Lu Ding who had been on the video call in Overcast Mountain instantly appeared in the reception hall of White Ridge, right beside Gongyang Qingrou.

At that moment.

It was clearly visible—Gongyang Qingrou’s pupils abruptly dilated, then contracted again.

She stared at Lu Ding as if she had seen a ghost: ”Is this... a spatial displacement technique? No... that’s not right... It’s even more exquisite than spatial displacement!?”

”But aren’t you only at Spirit Refinement cultivation?”

Although the information from Lu Xiu said Lu Ding was at God Ascension cultivation, Gongyang Qingrou, used to seeing geniuses, didn’t find it particularly surprising.

There was some surprise, but she could still accept it.

After all, compared to cultivation level, strength was what really mattered!
