Orders from All Heavens: Earn rewards by playing a guest role

Chapter 53 Guest Appearance: Thunder King

[Order from All Heavens: Transmigrating to the world of "Zombie Supreme," making a cameo appearance as Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan Sect.]

[Mission Requirements: Focus wholeheartedly on cultivating the Tao, become a Celestial Master, and be revered by all under Heaven.]

Su Ming was somewhat surprised when he saw the orders from all the heavens that had appeared.

"System, if I travel back in time and impersonate Shi Jian, will the founders of Maoshan discover me?"

A thought suddenly popped into his mind.

There are people both above and below Maoshan.

There is a large group of patriarchs, one group in heaven and another group on earth.

Therefore, as a disciple of Maoshan, one is granted the privilege of writing a book. If one travels back in time to replace or make a cameo appearance, the founders of Maoshan might discover it.

[Ding, host, please rest assured, there is no risk of being discovered.]

Although that's what the system said, Su Ming still felt unsafe.

After much deliberation, I decided to make a cameo appearance as a spirit rather than as the real person.

Because Shi Jian, as the senior disciple of Maoshan, is a key figure that Maoshan pays close attention to.

If the real person makes a cameo appearance, it means the original Shi Jian is gone.

Wouldn't that directly alarm all the patriarchs of Maoshan and make them all look over? What would happen if they saw him impersonating Shi Jian?

"Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan, is the pinnacle of combat power."

"He could conjure lightning with his bare hands and was revered as the Thunder and Lightning King. If he hadn't been betrayed by his son, it wouldn't have been impossible for him to become a great celestial master or even an immortal ancestor."

Su Ming was thinking about Shi Jian's matter.

Playing this cameo role is very valuable. With just that set of Taoist magic, if I complete the cameo mission and come back to settle the score, it's equivalent to obtaining Shi Jian's powerful Taoist magic strength.

In this way, there is no need to fear those strange threats in reality.

"Ah Li, I'm going into seclusion to cultivate. Don't disturb me."

Su Ming picked up Ah Li and gave her an order.

"Yes, Master, Ahri will definitely protect you."

Ahri nodded obediently.

Su Ming entered the room and closed the door.

"Order accepted!"

He accepted the order without hesitation.

[Ding, order confirmed, begin time travel—]

As the system notification sounded, Su Ming's body was enveloped in a beam of light and disappeared from the room.

... ...

Maoshan.

In a house.

Su Ming suddenly opened his eyes, receiving a stream of memories.

"what?"

Upon receiving the memories, Su Ming was surprised to discover that Shi Jian was currently thirty years old and didn't seem to have a son yet.

"It's good that I don't have a son; it saves me the trouble of raising one."

Su Ming smiled slightly, feeling a sense of relief.

Having another son all of a sudden would be troublesome, so it would be even better if we didn't have a son yet.

Next, all you need to do is focus on cultivating your spiritual path and complete your guest appearance tasks.

As a cultivator, what need is there for a son? He would only be a burden.

Just look at Shi Jian's future fate to know that he was ruined by his son, which was also due to his wrong parenting methods and his indulgence.

"From now on, I am Shi Jian, until my cameo appearance ends."

Shi Jian took a deep breath.

He understood that there were risks involved in making a cameo appearance as Shi Jian, the senior disciple of Maoshan.

After all, there are many patriarchs in Maoshan, and there's always the fear that one of them might see through the trickery.

It would be better to just play the role of Shi Jian, complete the mission, and then leave.

There's no need to cause any more trouble.

"Hmm, he is at the peak of the Earth Master level, but has not yet entered the ranks of the Celestial Master. He has already mastered the Lightning Thunder Fist, but has not yet mastered thunder magic."

He kept organizing the memories in his mind, paying attention to all kinds of memories and habits.

After receiving all the memory information, he felt much more relaxed.

Next, he needs to take care of his body a little. After all, although Shi Jian's Taoist skills are profound, his physical condition is still far from good.

So he simply used nanoparticles to begin microscopic genetic adjustments to his body.

Ten minutes later, the adjustment at the body's genetic level was completed.

Shi Jian waved his hand and cast a Water Mirror spell in front of him.

Looking at himself in the water mirror, with his hair tied up in a high crown, a mustache, and eyes full of murderous intent, he exuded an imposing aura that made demons and monsters tremble.

"Good, let's organize the Taoist practices we've been cultivating."

He began to organize the Taoist practices he had cultivated, analyzing and comprehending them one by one. After his comprehension and organization, he seemed to have gained some insight.

He only needs to go into seclusion for a short time to break through his current realm and enter the higher realm of Celestial Master.

But he didn't rush to break through, because this was Maoshan, and who knew if the founders of Maoshan were watching him after he broke through.

That would expose the risk, so it's better to play it safe.

"According to Shi Jian's memory, there are many books in Maoshan. Since we're already here, how can we not take a look?"

Shi Jian stood up, put on a black and white Bagua Taoist robe, and strode out the door.

"Greetings, Senior Uncle!"

Outside the door, two Maoshan disciples bowed respectfully.

He nodded slightly and glanced at the two of them.

He then stepped forward and gave a few words of guidance in a gentle yet authoritative tone.

"You two haven't yet entered the stage of refining essence into qi. You need to cultivate diligently and enter the stage of qi transformation as soon as possible."

His guidance to his two disciples on cultivation techniques left them feeling flattered and overwhelmed.

After some guidance, both of them gained some understanding.

"This disciple thanks my senior master for his guidance."

The two bowed in gratitude, their expressions filled with emotion.

"Well, let's go."

Shi Jian nodded slightly, waved his hand, and turned towards the Sutra Repository of Maoshan.

It contains countless Taoist scriptures of the Maoshan School.

This trip is for learning.

How could we miss such a good opportunity? After all, not everyone can enter the Maoshan Sutra Repository.

As the senior disciple of the Maoshan School in this generation, he was naturally qualified to enter.

"I've met senior brother."

Along the way, all the Maoshan disciples bowed to him upon seeing him.

Shi Jian held a highly respected position throughout Maoshan, ranking first only after the sect leader and other elders.

The current sect leader is a purple-robed celestial master who is quite old.

And he was Shi Jian's master.

"Senior Brother, are you going to enter the Sutra Repository?"

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper first bowed and then inquired.

Shi Jian nodded, took out the token and said, "That's right, I've encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation and want to consult some Daoist classics to accumulate insights."

"Okay, please, senior brother."

After checking the token and confirming that it was correct, the two disciples respectfully presented it.

He then opened the door to the Sutra Repository and strode inside.

Inside the Sutra Repository, there is actually an elder secretly guarding it, who usually doesn't come out.

Unless it is an intruder forcibly breaking in.

However, the Sutra Repository is equipped with a dense array of formations, making it extremely difficult for any enemy to enter.

Besides, this is the main altar of Maoshan.

Upon entering the Sutra Repository, Shi Jian was astonished by the sight before him.

A large number of Taoist books came into view, neatly arranged inside.

The entire Sutra Repository is divided into three floors, with the first floor open to all Maoshan disciples.

The second level requires permission to enter, and the third level requires permission from the sect leader, as well as a certain level of prestige and merit.

As the current senior disciple of Maoshan, Shi Jian is naturally qualified to enter, but of course, he cannot stay for too long.

As long as he can get in, it will only take him ten minutes.

Next, Su Ming, disguised as Shi Jian, diligently browsed through various Taoist classics and Maoshan secret techniques in the Sutra Repository.

This is a month in the making.

After all, moving too quickly would arouse suspicion. In fact, he had memorized all the classics of the Maoshan School in just three days.

For the past month, I have been working day and night without eating.

This finally allowed him to reach a higher level of understanding of Taoist magic. If it weren't for his suppression, he probably would have already broken through to the Celestial Master realm.

He meticulously comprehended and understood various spells, talismans, Taoist techniques, weapon crafting, alchemy, and so on.

The Daoist teachings are vast and boundless, leaving him in awe.

"Senior Brother, the Sect Leader requests your presence at the Zixiao Palace."

That day, Shi Jian, who was cultivating, suddenly received a message from a disciple.

"understood."

Shi Jian stopped meditating on the Daoist arts, stood up, tidied his appearance, and strode towards the Zixiao Hall.
