Chapter 471 The Road Ahead is Uncertain
Now we need to talk about what needs to be done to open the ascension channel.
The ascension channel is actually a transmission formation, but it needs to communicate with the heavenly laws of the two worlds, the fairy world and the immortal cultivation world, and convert the rules of the two sides.
The essence of ascension is to quickly adapt the Dao rules of one place to the Dao rules of a higher level. If successful, the ascension is successful; if unsuccessful, one will be repelled by the Dao rules of both sides and fall.
Therefore, opening the ascension channel is not a simple matter. It requires the formation master to understand the rules of both sides, requires a lot of fairy-level materials, and requires enough fairy spirit to maintain the operation of the formation.
There are no more than five formation masters in the fairy world who can build the ascension channel. Asking them to help will require a considerable amount of financial resources, not to mention the fairy world materials and fairy spirit, which will also cost a lot. Therefore, building an ascension channel is a very expensive matter.
It's like the God-Forsaken Land is a child who was abandoned by his parents. Now he wants to return to his parents' arms. His parents have to spend a lot of money to buy delicious food and fun things for the abandoned child, and spend a lot of money to build a relationship with them. After the child comes back, it is still unknown whether he will be a good child that can make his parents proud, or a rebellious child who spends money and relies on his parents for support.
Therefore, it is not enough for them to just say that they have become better. Abandoned children can only be recognized by their parents again if they become useful. What does it mean to be useful?
You have to pay for repairing the relationship yourself, then show your strength to your parents, provide them with good food and drink, and be a filial son and grandson.
After figuring it all out, Zhong Ling'er fell into deep thought.
Offering yourself up to others to be taken in as their grandson, and having to pay for the repair of the ascension passage yourself, it seems uneconomical no matter how you think about it, but this is the only way to survive, so you have to pretend to be their grandson.
Zhong Ling'er inquired about many people and events in Hunyuan Sect. The more she listened, the heavier her heart became. The leader of Hunyuan Sect was a profit-oriented person, otherwise he would not have felt that this small world was seriously damaged and abandoned it without even repairing it.
To him, all creatures in the world are ants, and what he lost was just an ant nest.
Of course, there are ways to persuade him, such as offering Ancestral Dragon, Bai Ze, little Qilin and Black Tortoise cubs, including ginseng spirit, magic flower spirit and other rare things in the fairy world. But they are not her possessions, but her friends. Although she would bully them on weekdays, she actually cherishes them very much.
At least they won't be given away as objects.
After seeing the three people off, Zhong Ling'er fell into deep thought. After a while, Ling Ji came back.
"Sister Ling'er, Hades has done his best. He specially went to the fairyland, and the Hunyuan Sect gave him face and sent two people. Otherwise, they would only send an inner sect disciple every hundred years to check the situation, and they would not send people so soon."
Zhong Ling'er took Ling Ji's hand and said coquettishly: "Sister Ba, I know you have said a lot of good things for me, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to see the immortal. But I still have one thing to ask of you. Do you know who was the immortal who dropped the twelve Dingkun beads?"
Ling Ji hesitated for a moment and said, "It's Guangyuan Immortal Venerable of the Li Sect, but he may not care about your affairs anymore. Back then, he helped to save this world and gave you a glimmer of hope, but he was scolded by the people of the Hunyuan Sect for meddling in other people's affairs and causing trouble for nearly a thousand years."
Zhong Ling'er was surprised. What was wrong with the people of Hunyuan Sect? They didn't leave them any chance of survival. They even didn't let go of those who helped them. No wonder the two immortals said that other sects would not care about the affairs of this world.
Not only can they not teach their children well themselves, but they also don’t allow others to teach them, and they force their own children to die. Is it still acceptable to have such parents?
"Sister Ba, how are the small worlds under Hunyuan Sect? What is their relationship with Hunyuan Sect?"
Ling Ji sighed, "The Hunyuan Sect is quite nice to them. As long as the offerings are in place, they won't be too demanding. But we can't say they are too close. They charge a fee every time they help them repel a demon invasion. It's the most expensive among the eight sects."
Zhong Ling'er was speechless. Why did this feel like collecting protection money again?
Seeing the disbelief in Zhong Ling'er's eyes, Ling Ji smiled helplessly, "Since the appearance of the Heavenly Demon, many things have changed. In fact, the Immortal Realm is not peaceful either. Although the Heavenly Demon cannot conquer the Immortal Realm, it always sneaks in and secretly harms many immortals."
"The biggest problem is that the demons can actually live by absorbing immortal energy. They absorb immortal energy to strengthen themselves, which is equivalent to converting immortal energy into demon energy. The immortal energy in the immortal world becomes thinner. I heard that in recent years, the eight major sects have been limiting the number of people who can ascend."
This can still be restricted, Zhong Linger took a breath of cold air, how can the ascension be restricted so that only a few succeed and most perish?
And this is bad news. The fairy world is limiting the number of people who can ascend, so how can they open another ascension channel?
At the end of the conversation, Zhong Ling'er asked her to help convey a message to Immortal Guangyuan to express her gratitude.
Yuan Ying and Yuan Hui went back after staying for a day. When they left, they ran to Zhong Ling'er and wanted to ask for a few more copies of Palm Universe. Zhong Ling'er said that this thing was rare, so she could only give them twenty more, and the two left happily.
Ling Ji stayed and agreed to help everyone fight against the demons, which greatly boosted the morale of the immortal cultivation world.
Zhong Ling'er also released the news, saying that Yuan Ying told her that he learned from the Palm Universe that there are many new and strange things in this world, which made him feel that this small world is very vibrant. He will report truthfully after returning, and the opening of the path to ascension should not be a problem.
Many people saw that Yuan Ying and Yuan Hui ignored the gifts from other people, but were obsessed with the Palm World given by Zhong Ling'er. They even looked for Zhong Ling'er before leaving and left with a smile. They all agreed with Zhong Ling'er's statement.
So when Zhong Ling'er was about to form a Mahayana tribulation-crossing team, almost all the strong people in the world of immortal cultivation came, and with the help of Ling Ji, Zhong Ling'er felt that it was a sure thing.
The army marched down to the bottom of the Demon Abyss in a mighty manner, and saw the destroyed formation. Zhong Ling'er did not stay, but led the troops to split into three groups, and each of them went their separate ways at the next fork in the road.
Zhong Ling'er hadn't walked far when she encountered the demon army again.
Seeing that Zhong Ling'er did not take out the spiritual power cannon, those powerful demons breathed a sigh of relief. The fear of being bombarded dissipated and their fighting spirit became stronger.
Zhong Ling'er asked Bai Ze beside her, "I forgot to ask about the good and bad luck just now. What do you think of this battle?"
Bai Ze looked at the people fighting in front of him and smiled calmly, "Why ask? What you do is always very dangerous. But you have made sufficient preparations, what else do you have to worry about?"
Zhong Linger sighed, "After all, it's still a disaster. If it was a good thing, I would be relieved. But there's nothing I can do. Who can blame me for turning the tide? Just like the future of this world of immortal cultivation is bleak, I have to hack a way out. It's just facing the challenges head-on!"
