Chapter 355: Taking All Beings as Hostages
Chapter 353: Taking All Beings as Hostage
“An Everlasting Heavenly Father, it’s not like an Eternal Heavenly Father. Of course it will fall.”
Ji Hongdao shook his head and laughed lightly.
“What’s more, the owner of this lapis lazuli broken palm is also an Ancient Celestial Sovereign who achieved the Heavenly Sovereign Fruit with an ancient method.”
“Achieving the Eternal Heavenly Dignity by an ancient method is not as harsh as today’s need to go against the reasoning of heaven and earth.”
“The strength is naturally more than one level weaker.”
“It’s possible to be killed by someone, to suffer a calamity and die.”
Without leaving too much time for the cultivators present to be shocked, Ji Hongdao seemed to have just said something insignificant, and then turned to command, “This mission is urgent, and there isn’t much time for rest. Today, Huangfu and Shangguan will first bring everyone to familiarize themselves with the do’s and don’ts within the Eternal Immortal Base.”
“Official construction will begin tomorrow.”
“Stage one mission, outside the Shouting Abyss, construct the Heavenly Xuan Spirit Locking Grand Formation.”
“After we finish relocating that newly discovered Mystic Domain, then we’ll rush over to build the second Spirit Locking Formation.”
“Once the two places are built, we can return.”
“Right. ……”
Ji Hongdao paused and pulled out a Tianxuan Small Mirror from his bosom, shining a light list above everyone’s heads.
“Well teach you all to know that as of today, the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation Popularization Competition has officially begun.”
“Although most of you are not among the participants, the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance will not let your hard work go to waste.”
“Escorting, transportation, collaboration, every bit of effort will also be exhaustively recorded and converted into points. By the time the final grand formation is constructed, all of these points can be used to exchange for the alliance’s techniques and treasures.”
“Moreover, the construction of every Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation will be considered a merit task of superior A merit.”
“When the construction of the formation is completed, it will be rewarded with a corresponding merit based on the amount of contribution.”
“It will be given out in real time without delay.”
Before Ji Hongdao’s words fell, the cultivators present were already all in an uproar.
It was obvious that they had just learned of this news as well.
Superior Grade A merit, all weekdays were basically dangerous and extremely difficult tasks.
Unusual cultivators had no hope of completing them.
Nowadays, however, one could obtain it by diligently constructing the Tianxuan Spirit Locking Formation.
How could this not make them go crazy.
Ji Hongdao smiled faintly, “Gentlemen, do you want to obtain a merit technique and raise your permission level?”
“This time, it’s truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.”
“If you miss it, I’m afraid that if you want to obtain the same reward in the future, you’ll need to pay a price that’s more than several times as much.”
“So, please also work hard.”
Amidst the excitement of the group, Li Fan surveyed the light list in the sky.
Perhaps it was because the Great Competition had just started and the gap hadn’t been widened yet.
The list on it kept changing every moment, enough to see how fierce the competition was.
There were a total of seven hundred and eighty-three places on the list.
The names were very familiar, all of them were the trainees who had participated in the special training in the Huan Yu Special Academy back then.
Apart from Li Fan and Xue Mou who were at the bottom of the list with zero points, there was also a Jindan cultivator named Guo Ye Zhong, who for some reason had also not yet formally participated in the formation construction.
“Alright, put away your excitement for now. Leave your strength for tomorrow.”
After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was almost baked, Ji Hongdao then continued.
“After disembarking, make sure to carry this [Black Death Talisman] with you. Even within this Eternal Immortal Base. You guys remember that.”
“From tomorrow onwards, there will also be cultivators stationed at the Immortal Bastion who will move with you in case of the Abyssal Demonic Sound.”
“Huangfu and Shangguan will explain the specific matters for you.”
After saying that, Ji Hongdao waved his hand, only to see hundreds of talismans with black light traveling like lightning on their surface appear in the sky.
Each of them then flew in front of the cultivators present.
Li Fan touched it with his hand, and the black death talisman instantly transformed into a black line that lurked down at his left wrist. It was too late for a closer inspection, so at Huangfu Song’s urging, he left the Dust Transit Boat and took up temporary residence within the Eternal Immortal Barrier.
The Immortal Base was worthy of being the front line of defense against the Shouting Abyss, and was almost self-sufficient.
The place was full of facilities and places commonly found in Eternal City.
Aside from the inability to teleport, there was even a Heavenly Xuan Mirror present here as well.
However, the place where Li Fan and the others were residing was only the outermost part of the Immortal Base, and according to the size of the severed palm seen earlier, it was estimated that it would only occupy one finger at most.
If they wanted to go deeper, with cultivators dressed in green guarding the area, it was impossible to do so.
……
Just as the cultivators were loitering within the Immortal Basement.
On the Dust Crossing Boat.
Ji Hongdao was still standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the scenery within the Broken Palm building.
A figure that was as twisted as a ghost suddenly appeared behind him.
“Still the same tactics of luring people with profit, don’t you know how to play some new tricks?” The figure spoke out, full of disdain.
Ji Hongdao didn’t seem surprised by his appearance, and didn’t turn his head back, just said leisurely, “Old-fashioned, but effective.”
“Isn’t it?”
“Cultivators in the world, who can really have huge profits placed in front of them and not be moved?”
“Even if ‘noble’ as Young Sovereign you, if it is not profitable, how would you be willing to personally guard the Reigning Abyss for dozens of years, and not move?”
The Young Monarch snorted coldly and did not retort.
After a moment of silence, he spoke out, “To be able to gain something from the Abyss, that is my skill. Will you let others try?”
“I won’t mention the credit for guarding such a dangerous place.”
“Why is it that nowadays, even on my side, the [Heavenly Xuan Spirit Locking Formation] has to be constructed?”
“You and I know only too well what that thing is.”
“My generation of cultivators ……”
Ji Hongdao turned around abruptly, his face unprecedentedly serious as he stared at Shaojun.
Shaojun’s words also stopped abruptly.
“The Tianxuan Spirit Locking is a great trend.”
Ji Hongdao said in a single word, “Anyone who dares to defy it will die.”
“I advise Young Sovereign not to try to provoke the will of the [Law Transmitters].”
Seeing that Young Jun still had a look of uncertainty on his face, Ji Hongdao sighed and persuaded, “Now that the situation is critical, it has reached the point of no time to lose.”
“Heaven and Earth have somehow suddenly liberalized their cultivation restrictions, as if they have broken the pot and want to drag us along with them.”
“On the side of the Five Elders Association, after many attempts, they have never been able to search for any trace of the Heavenly Dharma Transmitter. It’s already stupid.”
“The Dharma Transmitters have even observed traces of the Principle of Heaven and Earth being reversed.”
“What that means, I believe you know very well.”
“At this point in time, the only way to get through this difficult time is to [Heavenly Xuan Locking Spirit], using the majority of the Xuan Huang Realm’s living spirits as hostages.”
“Only then can we slowly look for the way to break the situation.”
The Young Monarch obviously could not accept Ji Hongdao’s words.
He asked rhetorically, “With all beings as ants, how do you know how you are not an ant?”
Ji Hongdao was unimpressed, “We are naturally above all beings.”
The Young Lord snorted coldly, “Perhaps.”
“We’ll see.”
The figure then shook and disappeared.
