Chapter 1247 The Seal Will Be Broken
Another month passed.
There are still twenty days left before the March date set by Luo Li.
On this day, the barrier suddenly fluctuated violently, and then dissipated with a loud bang.
The golden light that enveloped the center of the continent faded like a tide, revealing the huge monster that stretched across the plain.
It was a real, huge city.
The city wall is several feet high and stretches for thousands of miles, surrounding the entire central area.
The wall was not a monotonous black and gray, but was flowing with a faint colorful halo. It was a vision formed by the combination of the power of chaos, black iron, and five-colored divine finance.
Above the four gates of the city, the four ancient characters "East", "West", "South" and "North" are engraved respectively. The power of the soul flows between the characters, carrying a natural pressure.
Inside the city, the outlines of pavilions and towers can be vaguely seen, and the streets are crisscrossed, but they are not paved by humans, but are naturally evolved from array patterns. Each floor tile is a small spirit gathering array.
"This, this is..." Elder Su walked forward tremblingly, and as soon as his fingertips touched the city wall, he was bounced back by a warm and powerful force.
He suddenly looked up, his eyes filled with disbelief, "Weapon spirit! There is a weapon spirit in this city!"
Not only is there a weapon spirit, but the aura of the weapon spirit is actually faintly consistent with Luo Li's.
Luo Li stood at the south city gate, looking at this supreme treasure that had cost her more than two months of hard work, and let out a sigh of relief.
She raised her hand and pressed it on the city gate, whispering, "From now on, you will be called the City of Gods."
"Buzz."
The city gate trembled slightly, as if responding to her words.
The newly born spirit is still too fragile to transform into a human form, but it already has its own self-awareness.
In the sunlight, the halo of the City of Gods flows slowly. It is the pressure of the supreme treasure, but it carries the warmth of protection rather than the murderous aura.
All those who had questioned Luo Li were silent at this moment.
They looked at the city that appeared out of thin air and finally understood that Luo Li's words were not empty talk.
She said it could be done, and it really was done!
This kind of supreme treasure of the city type is probably the first of its kind in history!
Moreover, this was not built in a hurry, but a supreme treasure that condensed a lot of effort. It is a barrier that can truly support them in the catastrophe.
Di Xuanming walked over to Luo Li and brushed the dust off her shoulders. His voice was low and gentle: "Thank you for your hard work."
Luo Li turned her head to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of fatigue, yet surprisingly bright: "When the catastrophe comes, this will be the safest place."
In the distance, the young men looked at the City of Gods, and the fiery light in their eyes rekindled.
They knew that this city was not only the confidence Luo Li gave them, but also the hope they would protect with their lives.
And deep in the clouds, the quietly surging demonic energy seemed to become even more restless with the birth of this city.
The storm is imminent.
"Let's go and take a look inside." Luo Li said to everyone.
Everyone was slightly excited and nodded heavily.
Di Xuanming held Nian An in his arms and walked into the South City Gate side by side with Luo Li.
Behind him, Lan Xiaoxiao and the others, as well as representatives from various forces, and those young boys and girls who could no longer contain their curiosity and excitement, poured into this brand new, miraculous city like a tide.
The city gate was heavy and opened silently, yet it exuded a solemn majesty.
As soon as they stepped in, everyone felt different.
As soon as he passed the city gate, a warm spiritual power rushed towards him, flowing into his body through his limbs and bones. Even Luo Li's soul, which had been tense for days, relaxed a little.
The young men followed closely behind, and as soon as they stepped into the city, they couldn't help but let out a low cry.
The bluestone slabs under your feet are not ordinary. Each one is engraved with a miniature spirit gathering array, and stepping on them can actually absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.
The pavilions on both sides of the street look ordinary, but soul jade wind chimes are hung on the eaves. When the wind blows, the clear sound of the chimes can actually cleanse the restlessness and depression in the soul.
Further away, four tall towers can be vaguely seen. These are the locations of the Alchemy Pavilion, Equipment Refining Workshop, Formation Hall and Sutra Library.
"Every step feels like stepping on a spiritual vein!" A young man couldn't help but use his soul power. He felt that the surrounding spiritual power was pouring into his body like living water, and his cultivation speed was several times faster than that of the outside world.
Lan Xiaoxiao touched an ancient tree covered with ice crystals beside her and exclaimed in amazement, "Even the spiritual plants in the city are being nurtured by the formation. Ah Li, your handiwork is too terrifying."
Luo Li's eyes swept over the layout of the city, and she lightly tapped the void with her fingertips. A light golden light curtain unfolded before everyone's eyes, which was the full picture of the City of Gods.
In the picture, in addition to the four towers, there is a magnificent meeting hall in the center, surrounded by courtyards and houses in an orderly manner, which are obviously the bases reserved for various forces.
The highest point in the center is the council hall, the roof of which is inlaid with a huge star stone, which absorbs sunlight during the day and emits soft starlight at night.
"To the east is the warehouse. All spiritual weapons and elixirs are transported directly here via the teleportation array. To the west are a thousand training rooms, with formations that can simulate different battlefield environments. To the north..."
Her fingertips touched a blank area in the north of the city. "This is the residence for ordinary spiritual masters who cannot participate in the battle. The formation will protect them."
Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
They were only concerned with preparing for war, but forgot that in a catastrophe, ordinary spiritual masters were even less powerful than ants. Luo Li actually took this into consideration.
Di Xuanming looked at the blank space, his eyes softening. "Should we notify them now?"
"No rush. Ordinary spiritualists make up the vast majority of the continent, and the City of Gods certainly can't accommodate them." Luo Li shook her head.
She continued, "The courtyard above is for ordinary spiritualists to participate in logistical preparations. The City of Gods has an underground city, which is sufficient for shelter. Now let the various forces move in and stabilize the core of the formation. Once the seal is completely loosened, it won't be too late to transfer them in batches."
The first group to enter the City of Gods were the ancient clan.
Feng Chuan and others brought the ancient tribe of Dahuang Lingwu and the ancient tribes in Lingcheng and their disciples to move into the City of Gods that day.
Other forces were discussing, after all, the main forces must remain in their respective main cities.
The night was as dark as ink, and the four towers of the City of Gods lit up with a faint light, which complemented the array patterns on the city walls, shrouding the entire city in a warm protective shield.
Luo Li stood at the highest point of the council hall, looking towards the north.
The sky there was darker than elsewhere, and there was a faint swelling of black mist, a sign that the seal was loosening.
"The cracks in the seal have widened again." Di Xuanming had stood behind her at some point, holding a water mirror in his hand.
Luo Li's fingertips slid across the void, and the power of chaos condensed into a thin line, probing the crack in the water mirror: "Yan Ye's aura is becoming clearer and clearer. He is attacking the core of the seal."
"Wen Xingyan and Song Wanbai, along with the War God's vanguard battalion, have arrived at the location where the seal has dissipated and are currently using formations to temporarily reinforce the seal."
Emperor Xuanming said in a deep voice, "But it won't be very effective. It can only last for another ten days at most."
Ten days.
This number weighs like a stone on my heart.
Luo Li turned around and looked at the young men who were training outside the hall.
The martial arts arena has been moved to the center of the City of Gods and is now brightly lit.
Not far away, Lan Xiaoxiao was surrounded by several teenagers under the age of twenty, who were asking her for advice on footwork.
She rarely stopped jumping around and patiently demonstrated the basics of the Tengju technique. "Remember, the formation pattern under your feet can help you gain momentum, but don't rely on it. If you really reach a place filled with demonic energy, the formation won't be able to protect you every step of the way."
The young men responded in unison, their eyes shining like stars.
Luo Li looked at this scene with a slight smile on her lips.
These days, they not only honed their basics, but also learned to cooperate through repeated battles.
As she said at the beginning, the catastrophe was never a one-man war.
"Ari!"
A gentle voice sounded from behind him, and An Shuxue ran over, holding a scroll in her hand. "Currently, the logistics lists of all factions have been compiled. The Alchemy Pavilion said that the current reserves of Danbuli City's healing pills are enough to support three major wars. The Weapon Refining Workshop has newly forged a hundred powerful crossbows for defending the city, which can be used by spiritual masters who are not yet lord-level."
Luo Li took the scroll and ran her fingertips over the words on it: "Okay, have all the major forces give me the list of people who will be staying in the City of Gods as soon as possible."
"Got it!" An Shuxue was about to run away when Luo Li called her back.
"Tell Xing Yan and Brother Wan Bai not to hold on any longer. If they can't hold the seal, retreat immediately."
An Shuxue nodded heavily: "I understand!"
After he ran away, Di Xuanming said, "Ali, I just received news that the Mu family has indeed begun secretly contacting the envoys of the Demon God Temple."
Luo Li's eyes turned cold: "They are so impatient."
"Xuan Mu has already brought people to keep an eye on them," Di Xuanming said, "Should we take action now?"
"No need." Luo Li shook her head. "Keeping them here might yield a bigger fish. The Nine Heavens are holding their troops still, so I'm afraid it's more than just waiting for the seal to be broken."
Three days later, urgent news arrived.
The seal cracked open with a gap about ten feet wide, and dozens of demons suddenly broke through the seal. Although Wen Xingyan's vanguard camp killed them, they also lost a spiritual master.
When the news reached the City of Gods, representatives from various factions were discussing defense deployment in the council hall.
Upon hearing the news of the loss, the hall suddenly fell silent, and several older elders looked solemn.
"The power of these Demon God Temple demons is even greater than expected." Elder Su said in a deep voice, "Among those dozen or so demons, three have reached the semi-saint monarch level. Ordinary spiritual masters can't stop them at all."
Luo Li tapped her fingertips on the table, her gaze fixed on the core of the seal on the map. "Pass my order. Have Feng Wuhen lead the Bulicheng disciples over there, and transfer twenty more young men over there. Have them follow Wen Xingyan and see some blood."
"Young men?" The elders of Yaochi Holy Land were stunned. "Although they have made progress, facing a Semi-Saint Lord-level demon..."
"You have to learn to crawl out of your blood," Luo Li interrupted her, her voice calm but filled with undeniable strength. "You can't grow storm-resistant pines and cypresses in a greenhouse."
When the young men outside the hall heard the news, they showed no fear at all. They clenched their fists and shouted, "We are willing to go!"
These days, they are no longer the arrogant people they used to be. Luo Li's teachings and the existence of the City of Gods have made them understand that retreat is never a solution.
That night, twenty young men followed Feng Wuhen through the teleportation array and arrived at the sealed place where Wen Xingyan was.
Five days later, good news arrived.
