Chapter 353: Using All Living Beings as Material |
“The Longevity Immortal, not the True Immortal. Naturally, they would fall.”
Ji Hongdao shook his head, lightly smiling.
“Moreover, the owner of this broken blue stone palm is none other than the Ancient Immortal who achieved the position of Longevity Immortal through ancient methods.”
“Achieving the position of Longevity Immortal through ancient methods is not as harsh as it is today, requiring the understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.”
“Strength naturally weakens considerably.”
“Being killed by someone, encountering calamity and perishing, all are possible.”
Without leaving much time for the cultivators present to be shocked, Ji Hongdao seemed to only mention a trivial matter, then proceeded to instruct: “This mission is urgent, there isn’t much time for rest. Today, Huang Fu and Shangguan will familiarize everyone with the precautions within the Eternal Immortal Stronghold.”
“We will officially begin construction tomorrow.”
“In the first phase of the mission, outside the Abyss of Roars, we will construct the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array.”
“Once the two locations are built, we can return.”
“Oh yes…”
Ji Hongdao paused, then took out a small Tianxuan Mirror from his bosom, projecting a beam of light above everyone’s heads.
“Let me tell you, the mass distribution of the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array has officially begun.”
“Although most of you are not participating in the competition, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will not let your hard work go to waste.”
“Escort, transport, cooperation, every effort will be meticulously recorded and transformed into points. When the final Great Array is built, these points can be used to exchange for techniques and treasures within the alliance.”
“Moreover, the construction of each Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array will be considered a meritorious task of the highest rank.”
“Once the formation is completed, rewards corresponding to the contributions will be given out.”
“Real-time distribution, no delay.”
Before Ji Hongdao finished speaking, the cultivators present were already in an uproar.
Evidently, they had just learned of this news as well.
Tasks of the highest rank are usually extremely dangerous and difficult.
Ordinary cultivators have no hope of completing them.
And now, as long as they diligently construct the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, they can obtain them.
How could this not drive them crazy.
Ji Hongdao smiled faintly: “Everyone, do you want to obtain techniques, to elevate your authority level?”
“This time, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“If you miss this, I’m afraid in the future, the price to obtain equivalent rewards will be several times more.”
“So, please work hard.”
In the midst of the excitement, Li Fan looked at the light list in the sky.
Perhaps because the competition had just begun, the gap had not yet widened.
The list above was constantly changing, indicating the fierce competition.
There were a total of 783 names on the list.
The names were very familiar, all of them were students who participated in the special training at the Universal Branch Academy.
Apart from Li Fan and Xue Mu, who bottomed out with zero points, there was also a Golden Core cultivator named Guo Yezhong who hadn’t formally participated in the formation construction for some reason.
“Alright, for now, put away your excitement. Save your energy for tomorrow.”
After a while, seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Ji Hongdao continued.
“After disembarking, make sure to carry this Black Death Token with you. Even within this Eternal Immortal Stronghold, you must do so. Remember that.”
“Starting tomorrow, there will also be cultivators stationed in the stronghold to accompany you to prevent the Abyssal Sonic Waves.”
“The specifics will be explained by Huang Fu and Shangguan.”
With that said, Ji Hongdao waved his hand, and hundreds of tokens with black light swirling on their surface appeared in the sky like lightning bolts.
Then each flew to the cultivators present.
Li Fan touched it with his hand, and the Black Death Token instantly turned into a black line, lurking around his left wrist.
Before he could thoroughly inspect it, urged by Huang Fu Song, they left the Dust Crossing Boat and temporarily settled in the Eternal Immortal Stronghold.
The stronghold was indeed the front line against the Roars of the Abyss, almost self-sufficient.
Facilities commonly seen in ordinary provincial cities were all available here.
Apart from the inability to teleport, there was even a Tianxuan Mirror present.
However, where Li Fan and the others lived was only the outermost part of the stronghold. Judging from the size he had seen before, it probably occupied no more than a section of a finger.
If they wanted to go deeper, they would be stopped by cultivators wearing green clothes.
…
Just as the cultivators were strolling around the stronghold.
On the Dust Crossing Boat.
Ji Hongdao was still standing at the bow of the ship, looking at the scenery inside the Broken Palm Building.
A distorted figure, like a ghost, suddenly appeared behind him.
“Still using enticing means, don’t you know how to come up with something new?” The figure spoke arrogantly, full of disdain.
Ji Hongdao seemed unsurprised by his appearance, not even turning his head, just calmly saying, “Old-fashioned, but effective.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Among all cultivators in the world, who can truly resist great benefits placed before them without being tempted?”
“Even someone as ‘noble’ as you, Lord Shao, if there were no gains to be had, how could you willingly guard the Abyss of Roars for decades without moving an inch?”
Lord Shao snorted coldly, not retorting.
After a moment of silence, he spoke up: “Being able to gain something from the abyss is my skill. Why don’t you let others try?”
“I won’t mention the merits of guarding such a dangerous place.”
“Why do we even need to construct the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array on our side now?”
“You and I are both well aware of what it is.”
“We cultivators…”
Ji Hongdao suddenly turned around, his expression unprecedentedly serious, staring at Lord Shao.
The young Lord’s words also stopped abruptly.
“The Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array is the trend of the times,” Ji Hongdao emphasized each word, “Anyone who dares to oppose it is on a path of death.”
“I advise you, Lord Shao, not to attempt to challenge the will of the Law Transmitters.”
Seeing Lord Shao still looking displeased, Ji Hongdao sighed persuaded him, “The situation is urgent now, to the point where there is no time to lose.”
“For some reason, the heavens and earth suddenly lifted the restrictions on cultivation, seemingly throwing caution to the wind, as if they want us all to perish together.”
“At the Five Elders’ side, after numerous attempts, they still couldn’t locate the whereabouts of the Law Transmitter. They are getting restless.”
“The Law Transmitters have also observed signs of the reversal of the principles of heaven and earth.”
“What that signifies, I believe you are well aware.”
“At this moment, only with the Tianxuan Locking Spirit Array, using the lives of half the creatures in the Xuanhuang Realm as materials, can we get through this difficult time.”
“Then we can slowly search for a way out of this predicament.”
Lord Shao obviously couldn’t accept Ji Hongdao’s words.
He retorted, “Using all living beings as ants, how do you know you’re not one yourself?”
Ji Hongdao shrugged it off, “We are naturally above all living beings.”
Lord Shao snorted coldly, “Perhaps.”
“Let’s wait and see.”
With that, his figure shook and disappeared.
