Chapter 1180: The Underbelly

The tasks on the light screen of the Envious Clan’s Task Hall have actually changed drastically, not only are the rewards of the tasks, but the contents of the tasks are also very different.

After all, at this moment, it was no longer the same thing as a day ago.

The vast majority of the various beheading, probing missions of the Rain Clan had turned into holding on. Hold on until a ninth-order powerhouse appeared and broke the prohibition outside the Xuan Ling domain.

Of course, some of the beheading missions were still retained there, after all, killing more Rain Race would lighten the burden of one’s own side as far as defense was concerned.

And these decapitation missions, without exception, gave rewards that had been raised by at least a notch.

As Chen Fei had seen earlier, to obtain three days of use of the Xuan Light Pool, one needed to kill a peak Rain Race Heaven Opening Realm powerhouse.

Nowadays, there was no need for that, a late stage of the Heaven Opening Realm would do.

Chen Fei was looking at the task when he suddenly sensed the space in front of him flooding with fluctuations, all of those present were at the Heaven Opening Realm, so naturally they all sensed it as well, and their gazes looked in front of the light curtain.

A figure slowly appeared, then bowed to the surrounding Open Heaven Realm.

The Envy Clan’s eighth-order Creation Realm powerhouse Shi Jianzhu, if usual, without a certain status, simply can not see the Envy Clan this level of powerhouse, let alone let the other party to their own initiative to salute.

“Gentlemen, nowadays, the situation of the entire Xuan Ling Domain is already known to you all, there is still more than half an hour left, the Rain Clan will be advancing, leaving very little time for us to prepare.”

Shi Jianzhu looked at all the various races in the field at the Heaven Opening Realm, his voice appeared extremely heavy.

Shi Jianzhu was a pessimist, once something happened, Shi Jianzhu would think of the worst case scenario of this matter first and use it to prepare for a response.

This way of dealing with things is not really wrong, and even to a certain extent, dealing with things can be more cautious and meticulous.

But this is the past, before the envy clan as long as do not want to break through the ninth order, then almost nothing, can be the envy clan broken.

Even with other eighth-order races, the Envy Race also has the certainty to save their own living forces.

However, today’s incident involved a ninth-order supreme realm powerhouse, involving the Heart Trickster Realm.

According to the most pessimistic thoughts, the end result would definitely be that the entire Xuan Ling Domain would be swallowed up by the Heart Trickster Realm, and all the cultivators within the Xuan Ling Domain would either be decimated or forced to transform into resentful spirits.

One would die outright, and one would live on for a while, perhaps with their shells still intact, but with their spiritual wisdom extinguished, turning them into knives of the Heart Trickster Realm.

“Elder Shi, what should we do then?”

Hao Yuelong, the Lord of Cold Nan City, stepped forward and arched his hand.

More than 60% of Cold Nan City’s Heaven Opening Realm had come to Envy City, Hao Yuelong’s thoughts were simple, if all seven eighth rank races perished, then the remaining cultivators in the Xuan Spirit Domain wouldn’t be able to have a second chance at all.

Since this was the case, it would be better to come directly to Envy City.

And what if the Rain Race didn’t follow the rules, and first stood firm and disposed of all the cultivators outside the boundaries of the eighth-order races before attacking the eighth-order races?
In terms of the Rain Race’s previous show of weakness, followed by dragging two ninth-order powerhouses into the Heart Trickster Realm, I’m afraid that the probability of clearing the outside world of ordinary cultivators first is still very high.

“If the ninth-order powerhouses don’t come out, then the Xuan Spirit Barrier we set up will still be able to hold out for a while, and then we can rely on the formation to defend the city walls.”

Shi Jianzhu waved his hand, and a sand table evolved by heaven and earth yuan qi appeared in the mission hall, on which the entire Xuan Ling domain’s boundaries were clearly displayed.

Among them, the one that was as black as an abyss was the present-day territory of the Rain Clan, while the remaining half was the Xuan Ling Domain that had not yet been contaminated.

“Why don’t we gather our Xuan Ling Domain’s cultivators together, otherwise what should we do if the Rain Race rushes all to other places first?” A Heaven Opening Realm raised his voice.

The other Open Heaven Realms couldn’t help but look at Shi Jianzhu as well, after all, when they had to attack the Rain Race before, those seven eighth rank races had each gotten their own little schemes going, and that was inexcusable.

Nowadays, if they still didn’t gather together to resist the Rain Race together, it would seem to be too arrogant and unwise.

“Within the Xuan Ling Domain, each of the eighth-order races is protected by an eighth-order top formation, which has taken an unknown number of thousands of years and is unrivaled in its power. The Rain Race raised their clan, and even with the help of the Heart Trickster Realm’s Grievance Spirits, it would be difficult to break through the formation in a short period of time.”

Shi Jianzhu used his hand to gently point, and the main cities representing the eighth-order races on the sand disk all lit up with the shields of the formation.

“Once a certain race suffers a strong attack from the Rain Race, there’s no need to worry, the Envious City possesses a rule-based teleportation formation that can arrive at the battlefield in a matter of moments, and will naturally help to defend against the Rain Race’s attack at that time.”

On the sand table, within the light shields representing the boundaries of the seven eighth-order races, seven pillars of light rose up into the sky, which were connected to each other.

These were not ordinary teleportation formations, but were condensed directly from the rules, and without the Ninth Order being present, these teleportation formations would not be destroyed.

“At that time, even if a certain race’s formations can’t hold fast, we can continue to pass through the formations and transfer away, so that the formations within the other boundaries won’t be wasted, and we can delay more time by taking turns to hold fast.” Shi Jianzhu whispered.

Not gathering together, to put it simply, was that he didn’t want the clan protection formations that the clans had worked so hard to set up to go to waste.

And there was no need to fear being besieged, one could gather together in a very short period of time when needed.

The Heaven Opening Realm within the Mission Hall had a dawning look on their faces, and their expressions couldn’t help but relax a lot.

Chen Fei also couldn’t help but nod slightly, if the opponents were only the eighth-order Rain Race, then even if the Xuan Ling Domain was shrouded by the power of the Heart Trickster Realm, the Rain Race would have great difficulty in defeating the seven eighth-order races. But, this war was one that involved ninth-order powerhouses.

All of the aforementioned stoicism was only accomplished this smoothly when the ninth-order powerhouses were not present.

Once the ninth rank powerhouses appeared, this war would be over, either the Rain Clan would die, or the other cultivators of the Xuan Ling Domain would die.

It was because of this uncertainty that Shi Jianzhu’s expression was like this, because in Shi Jianzhu’s opinion, even the best of planning could end up being a failure, causing the Xuan Ling Domain to lose out completely.

“All of you are willing to come to my Envy City, I will thank you all on behalf of the Envy Clan.” Shi Jianzhu’s voice became louder.

At this moment, the Open Heaven Realm that were willing to come to Envy City had basically come almost all the way, and those that hadn’t come yet, that was because they didn’t want to risk their lives in Envy City.

“According to common sense, it’s all about giving rewards after completing the mission, but nowadays at this time, it’s already a bit out of place, willing to come to Envy City and work with my Envy Clan, the Envy Clan can’t be without indication, these Xuan Guang Stones and Wound Healing Medicines are some of the thoughts of my Envy Clan.”

Shi Jianzhu waved his hand, a white stone as warm as jade and many medicinal bottles flew into the hands of each of the Heaven Opening Realm present.

Chen Fei reached out and held the Xuan Guang Stone, sensing the majestic Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in it, as well as the near-completion of one of the secondary rules, his brows could not help but move slightly.

This Xuan Guang Stone was somewhat similar to the Rule Crystal Stone, but it was undoubtedly even further advanced, and not only did it condense a Secondary Rule, there were also other subtleties within it.

“You should have heard of the Clan’s Xuan Guang Pool, and this Xuan Guang Stone is from it. There are also these quests on the light screen, according to your specific cultivation level, once you take them, you can receive 30% of the reward first.” Shi Jianzhu explained.

Hearing Shi Jianzhu’s words, the eyes of those present at the Heaven Opening Realm couldn’t help but light up slightly.

What was the meaning of underpinnings, this was called underpinnings, taking on a mission and directly paying the rewards upfront.

This was what had encountered this particular situation today, or else this kind of thing would simply be impossible to touch.

But obviously the Envious Clan has also taken into account that once prepaid, it is possible that all of the Heaven Opening Realm chooses the one with the highest difficulty, never mind whether it can be completed or not, the first part of the mission rewards to get their hands on it.

Thus added realm requirements, what realm to receive what kind of task.

“The Envious Clan’s atmosphere, we admire it!” A Heaven Opening Realm couldn’t help but arch his hand and exclaim.

“Yes extremely yes extremely!”

The other Heaven Opening Realms couldn’t help but agree, this was indeed the heartfelt words of the Heaven Opening Realms present.

“Resisting the Rain Clan later on, please, everyone!”

Shi Jianzhu had a hint of a smile on his face as he arched his hand, then disappeared inside the mission hall.

As soon as Shi Jianzhu left, all of the Heaven Opening Realms walked towards the counter of the Task Hall and began to receive the tasks for their corresponding realms.

This was because there were only two types of quests left on the light screen, the Firmament and the Killing of the Enemy.

To kill the enemy was to really kill the Rain Race’s Open Heaven realm, while to stand firm, one only needed to join the other Open Heaven realms within the formation to block the Rain Race’s and Grievous Spirit’s attacks, and that would be considered completing the mission.

Moreover, each Heavenly Realm can only choose one mission to receive 30% of the rewards in advance, not if you take a few missions, you will directly receive 30% of the rewards of a few missions.

The Envy Clan is willing to show sincerity, but it doesn’t mean that the Envy Clan is an ingrate, randomly being wool-gathered by you.

Thus, very quickly, the various Heaven Opening Realms had chosen their tasks and gotten their 30% rewards, and each and every one of them couldn’t help but have a smile on their face.

Chen Fei chose the mission of holding fast, as for the mission of killing the enemy, if he really had the chance to decimate the Rain Race’s Open Heaven Realm, after killing them, he could come back and exchange them for the complete rewards as well.

If Chen Fei was willing to display his mid Heaven Opening Realm, the 30% reward he had in his hand at the moment would be even more, because the Firmament Mission also divided the area and intensity according to the realm.

But in the end, Chen Fei only hesitated slightly and didn’t really show his mid Heaven Opening realm cultivation, there was no need to do so.

“There are mid-grade Yuan Crystals and seventh-order lower-grade spirit materials, which kind of reward does Your Excellency want?” The Deacon of the Task Hall asked politely.

“Can I exchange it for Xuan Light Stones?” Chen Fei asked tentatively.

“Yes, you can, but you can only exchange it for half of an Xuanlight Stone.” The Deacon of the Task Hall said, taking out half of an Xuan Guang Stone and swinging it in front of Chen Fei.

“Good, this is it.” A smile appeared on Chen Fei’s face as he put the half piece of Xuan Light Stone into his sleeve.

With only half an hour left, the Rain Clan’s army might arrive, Chen Fei came to the courtyard where he had stayed yesterday, Chen Fei wanted to try out what kind of effect this Xuan Light Pool’s Xuan Light Stone possessed.

Inside the courtyard chamber, Chen Fei sat cross-legged, using his divine soul to carefully perceive the structure of the Xuan Guang stone, and a moment later, Chen Fei’s heart was enlightened.

In the next moment, Chen Fei crumbled this Xuan Guang Stone in his hand. (End of chapter)
