Chapter 353: Taking All Living Beings as Hostages
"The Immortal Lord is not the Eternal Lord. Of course he will fall."
Ji Hongdao shook his head and chuckled.
“What’s more, the owner of this Bluestone Broken Palm is an Ancient Heavenly Venerable who achieved the Heavenly Venerable status through ancient methods.”
"The ancient method of achieving the immortal heavenly master is not as harsh as today's method of going against the laws of heaven and earth."
"Of course, their strength is much weaker."
"Being killed by someone or dying in a disaster are all possible."
Without giving the cultivators present too much time to be shocked, Ji Hongdao seemed to have just said something insignificant, and then he gave instructions: "This mission is urgent, and there is not much time to rest. Today, Huangfu and Shangguan will first take everyone to familiarize themselves with the precautions in the Eternal Immortal Fortress."
"Construction will officially begin tomorrow."
"The first stage mission is to build the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array outside the Chizha Abyss."
"After we finish relocating the newly discovered maze, we will rush over to build the second soul-locking formation."
"Once both places are built, we can return."
"Oh, right..."
Ji Hongdao paused, took out a small Tianxuan mirror from his arms, and shone a ray of light above everyone's heads.
"Let me tell you that today the Xuansuo Spiritual Array 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."
"Guarding, transporting, cooperating, every bit of effort will be recorded in detail and converted into points. When the final formation is completed, these points can be used to exchange for skills and treasures within the alliance."
"Moreover, the construction of each Profound Heavenly Soul Locking Array will be regarded as a meritorious mission of the highest grade."
"When the formation is completed, corresponding merit rewards will be given according to the amount of contribution."
“Real-time issuance, no delay.”
Before Ji Hongdao finished speaking, the cultivators present were already in an uproar.
Apparently they had just learned the news.
Top-level armor skills are usually extremely dangerous and difficult tasks.
Ordinary monks have no hope of completing it.
But now, as long as you diligently build the Tianxuan Soul Locking Array, you can get it.
How could this not drive them crazy.
Ji Hongdao smiled slightly: "Everyone, do you want to obtain the skills and upgrade your authority level?"
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"If you miss it, I'm afraid the price you'll have to pay to get the same reward in the future will be several times higher."
“So please keep working hard.”
Amid the excitement, Li Fan looked at the light list in the sky.
Perhaps it’s because the competition has just begun and the gap has not yet widened.
The list above is constantly changing, which shows how fierce the competition is.
There are a total of 783 people on the list.
The names are very familiar. They are all students who participated in the special training in the Universal Academy back then.
In addition to Li Fan and Xue Mu who are at the bottom with zero points, there is also a Jindan cultivator named Guo Ye Zhong who for some reason has not yet officially participated in the construction of the formation.
"Okay, put away your excitement for now. Save your energy for tomorrow."
After a while, seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Ji Hongdao continued.
"After you get off the ship, be sure to carry this [Black Death Talisman] with you. Even in this Eternal Immortal Fortress, you must do so. Remember this."
"Starting tomorrow, there will also be monks stationed at the Immortal Fortress to act with you to guard against the Abyss Demonic Sound."
"Huangfu and Shangguan will explain the specific matters to you."
After saying that, Ji Hongdao waved his hand, and hundreds of amulets with black light flashing like lightning appeared in the sky.
Then they flew in front of the monks present.
Li Fan touched it with his hand, and the black death symbol instantly turned into a black line, lurking at his left wrist.
There was no time to investigate carefully, and at the urging of Huangfu Song, he left the Duchen Boat and temporarily settled down in the Eternal Immortal Fortress.
The Immortal Fortress is worthy of being the front line against the Abyss and is almost self-sufficient.
All the facilities and places commonly found in ordinary provincial cities are available here.
In addition to being unable to teleport, there is even a Tianxuan Mirror here.
However, the place where Li Fan and his companions lived was only the outermost part of the Immortal Fortress. Judging from the size of the severed palm seen before, it was estimated that it only occupied a segment of a finger at most.
If they wanted to go deeper, they couldn't because there were monks in green clothes guarding the place.
…
Just when the monks were strolling in the immortal fortress.
On the dust boat.
Ji Hongdao was still standing at the bow, looking at the scenery inside the broken-palm building from afar.
A distorted figure like a ghost suddenly appeared behind him.
"These are just some tactics of luring people with benefits. Don't you know how to come up with some new tricks?" The figure spoke rudely and with disdain.
Ji Hongdao didn't seem surprised by his appearance. He didn't even turn his head and just said leisurely, "Old-fashioned, but effective."
"Isn't it?"
"Among all the cultivators in the world, who can really not be tempted by the huge profits in front of them?"
"Even if you are as 'noble' as Shaojun, if it is not profitable, how can you be willing to personally guard the Chizha Abyss for decades and remain unmoved?"
Shaojun snorted coldly and did not refute.
After a moment of silence, he said, "Being able to gain something from the abyss is my ability. Why don't you let others try?"
"I won't mention the credit for guarding such a dangerous place."
"Why do we have to build the [Heavenly Mysterious Soul Locking Array] now?"
"You and I know exactly what that is."
"We monks..."
Ji Hongdao suddenly turned around, his face more serious than ever, and stared at Shaojun.
Shaojun's words also stopped immediately.
"The Mysterious Heavenly Soul Locking is the general trend."
Ji Hongdao said word by word: "Anyone who dares to disobey will die."
"I advise you not to try to challenge the will of the Dharma Preachers."
Seeing that Shaojun still looked unhappy, Ji Hongdao sighed and advised: "The situation is critical now, and it has reached a point where there is no time to lose."
"I don't know why the heaven and earth suddenly relaxed the restrictions on cultivation. It's as if they are going to throw us down with them."
"The Five Elders have tried many times but still haven't been able to find any trace of the Dharma Transmission Master. They are ready to take action."
"The Dharma teachers have even observed signs that the principles of heaven and earth are reversing."
"I believe you know what that means."
"At this moment, only [Tianxuan Locking Soul] can use most of the lives of the Xuanhuang Realm as hostages to get through this difficult time."
"Only then can we slowly find a way out of this situation."
Shaojun obviously could not accept Ji Hongdao's words.
He asked in return: "If all living beings are ants, how do you know that you are not an ant?"
Ji Hongdao disagreed: "We are naturally above all other living beings."
Shaojun snorted coldly: "Maybe."
"We'll see."
Then the figure shook and disappeared.
