After all, it's impossible for the family heir to go on such a dangerous mission! After becoming the heir of the Cao family, Cao Ang's status was far higher than that of his other brothers, that's a fact!
As he walked, Cao Pi recalled his father Cao Cao's expression after learning that he had volunteered for the mission.
At that moment, my father's eyes widened, showing surprise and worry, but he eventually calmed down and appeared quite composed. Finally, he told me his story from back then.
“Pi’er, your father here was once a rogue. I struggled step by step, and finally, by sheer luck, I gained the strength and status I have today. Xu Shao called me: a capable minister in times of peace, and a ruthless hero in times of chaos. At first, I didn’t believe it, but later…”
"Now that you've made up your mind about this trip, don't regret it. Just keep going. Um, I have some connections with your Uncle Xun. I'll have him do a fortune telling for you later."
"The divination result is out. It roughly means that you will have a close call on this trip, but also a great opportunity. However, just take these divinations with a grain of salt. The most important thing is your own hard work and struggle..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm asking you one last time, and this is the last chance you can withdraw. If you miss this opportunity, it will be too late to turn back! I'll ask you one more time: have you all carefully read the detailed requirements?"
"I saw it clearly."
"no problem."
"knew."
Listening to everyone's answers, Guo Jia showed neither joy nor sorrow. Over the years, as the abbot of Wu's military and political affairs, he had seen far too many grand occasions. Although the people before him were all elites, they were nothing compared to this.
"So, one last time, does anyone want to quit?"
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, but no one answered. A few minutes later, Guo Jia asked again, but still no one answered. Then, several minutes later, Guo Jia asked one last time.
"Alright, no one has quit after three consecutive attempts, so let's begin. First, please come to me and get your own jade talisman."
"This jade talisman is very important; it is a marker. With it, you will have certain advantages after you arrive in the other world, including detailed information such as intelligence, identity, magical treasures, and the immortals and gods of the region."
"In addition, it also serves to conceal one's identity, conceal heavenly secrets, and prevent being discovered by immortals. Although time is limited, it can at least provide a safe start. Now, please line up and come forward one by one."
Upon hearing this, the immortals underground automatically lined up in less than a breath. It just goes to show how eager everyone was to travel to another world.
"Name?"
"Cao Pi".
"This is your jade talisman. Also, have you placed any related restrictions on your soul to ensure that it won't be intercepted by otherworldly beings at the time of your death and allowed to acquire your knowledge?" Guo Jia suddenly asked. Although he already knew the answer, the procedure still had to be followed.
"Thank you for your concern, Prime Minister. My father had already made arrangements for protection before he left. Thank you for the kindness of the Wu Kingdom."
"Well, if it's Mengde, then it's quite possible. However, just in case, we still need to do another check. Have them look in the mirror, and don't resist. If their souls don't appear, it means they're well prepared; if their souls appear, it means they haven't passed the test yet. The same applies to the rest of them."
This step is actually to protect these talents, as well as the Kingdom of Wu and Xu Xian and his group. Otherwise, if the immortals learn about the situation in the Han Dynasty and become suspicious, wouldn't Xu Xian be completely finished?

Chapter Thirty-Five: The Heavenly Emperor's Decree...
About fifteen minutes later, all of the hundreds of people had received their own jade tokens.
After all, the level of the jade talisman varies depending on the amount of money they pay in advance. The treatment they receive after entering the world of the Legend of the White Snake also differs.
For example, the highest-grade jade talisman, like the one Cao Pi had, would give him a native identity after he entered the country.
In this situation, it's truly a case of "if you don't court death, you won't die!" Regardless of the outcome, there's definitely no danger to your life!
As for the lowest-grade jade talisman, it can only conceal the secrets of heaven, and only for seven days.
Seven days later, the fortune stored in the jade talisman will be exhausted, and then it will be exposed to the eyes of the immortals and Buddhas like an extraterrestrial demon, and the consequences will naturally not be good.
In addition, more than half of them came from distinguished families and were not subject to the restrictions placed on their souls by the Wu Kingdom. They had all accomplished this task within their own families.
The requirements for protecting one's soul, one's personal cultivation level, ability, and family wealth—all these factors combined mean that not just anyone can participate in this matter!
Putting everything else aside, the round-trip transportation cost alone is enough to buy a basic blessed land, or at least its equivalent. Yet, despite this, it is still very popular. That's the benefit of a monopoly!
Moments later, the gates of darkness opened. Accompanied by beams of crystalline light, hundreds of heroes were enveloped in divine light.
Gradually, the light grew increasingly dazzling, becoming impossible to look directly at. After a while, the light gradually dimmed. At this moment, hundreds of time travelers vanished from their original spot.
This is just the first batch; in the days to come, there will be a second, a third, and even a fourth batch...
...
In the world of Legend of the White Snake, Lin Yang has arrived at the edge of the universe. This place is filled with chaotic energy, which is extremely dangerous and vast.
Therefore, the area is relatively open, and there are relatively few immortals who come here. That's why Lin Yang chose this place as his crossing point.
With a wave of his right hand, a dark portal appeared, perched atop a giant rock. Accompanied by a buzzing sound, hundreds of black dots appeared.
Seeing this, Lin Yang took out a magical artifact and began to operate it. After Lin Yang cast the spell, the jade talisman transformed into streams of energy that entered their bodies.
This makes it convenient, safe, and the chances of being discovered are very low. If all else fails, it can even self-destruct, making it extremely convenient.
Of course, those scions of wealthy families who had paid money couldn't be treated the same way. Since they hadn't signed a contract, they weren't considered citizens of Wu, and Lin Yang couldn't do anything directly. But he could do it indirectly!
Don't forget, the main purpose of summoning them here was to let them cause trouble and attract the attention of all the gods and Buddhas! Secondly, it was to acquire their fortune, give them a chance to break through, and earn travel expenses!
In this way, Lin Yang divided these time travelers into two categories. One category would disguise themselves and then be discovered by Xu Xian 'accidentally,' eventually joining Xu Xian's ranks and developing their own power base.
As for those whose partners are of extraordinary background, who did not sign contracts, and who are not working for Wu for free, their fate is rather worrisome.
With a wave of his sleeve, over two hundred heroes, each possessing considerable wealth and carrying various magical treasures, flew away, transforming into shooting stars and heading towards the earth.
After all, time travel always involves unusual phenomena. Now, letting them reveal themselves will better attract the attention of the immortals and Buddhas!
With a whoosh and a loud bang, more than two hundred meteors appeared in broad daylight.
Looking up, you'll see that the sky has darkened and the moon has appeared. The sun's light has suddenly dimmed.
