Chapter 1208 - 937: Dreaming? Drunk? (Part 2)
"Could it also be restored like the Immortal Sect, back to its original state?"
"I’m afraid not at the moment. After all, the Kunlun Divine Mountain has been desolate for too long and the spiritual energy is not rich enough. Moreover, the city is not just about buildings; the people living within are more important. Currently, only the structures are being restored. Without enough spiritual energy to circulate, an empty city won’t last long before collapsing again.
If there are enough cultivators residing, they could meditate day and night, inhaling and exhaling energy in a cycle with the city."
Otherwise, I will have to restore the Kunlun Divine Mountain and Jasper Pool Immortal Realm everywhere until they regain their former celestial glory and operate autonomously, even if they are empty cities."
"Master can cast a wide net to catch more fish!" Yan Xuan said with a gallop and a grin, "Just spread the news that one can meditate and comprehend the Dao in the Kunlun Divine Mountain, and all cultivators in the wilderness will be moved, crying and begging to get a residency qualification."
Jiang Yuan laughed with tears, "But I also have to restore the city bit by bit by myself. That’s a huge project. If I put the news out there and attract countless cultivators, are you trying to exhaust me?"
"Oh, is that the case? Take your time! Anyway, I want to be the first to move in..."
......
The silhouette of a person and a demon beast disappeared into the endless ancient road, while everyone waiting on the Immortal Shuttle was anticipating the latest news.
Yan Xuan, having nothing to do, couldn’t help but occasionally take videos to share in the group, to update everyone on the progress.
"If such a huge city could truly be restored, wouldn’t the Cloud Concealment Sect be able to move right in?" Ling Di looked at the ruins of the city just posted by the senior in the group, and his paws trembled slightly with excitement, quickly sending another message to Sect Leader Cang Rui.
He instructed him to seize the heaven-sent opportunity at all costs, tightly clutch the pleated leg of the master, even if it meant crying and begging, and find a way to allow the sect disciples to move into this former divine city!
Even though the spiritual energy of Kunlun Divine Mountain isn’t as rich nowadays, it’s precisely for this reason that cultivators can move in.
Otherwise, when it truly regains its divine mountain supremacy with floating immortal energy inside, only immortals will have the qualification to reside in it, leaving no chance for the disciples of the Cloud Concealment Sect!
"Ancestor, are you talking about the legendary Kunlun Divine Mountain and Jasper Pool Immortal Realm?" Cang Rui received the news early in the morning, feeling numb all over, doubting if he was dreaming.
Recently, he’s been busy preparing the entire sect’s relocation and contemplating intensively how to negotiate with Mr. Jiang, pondering how to achieve his goal smoothly.
To the extent that Cang Rui wondered if he was dreaming while struggling with these thoughts day and night. In the dream, the ancestor mentioned Mr. Jiang is restoring the divine mountain, and by then, there would be a divine city accommodating tens of thousands of cultivators.
Ling Di roared through secret communication, "Little Cang Rui, have you woken up yet? Woof woof, if you miss this heaven-sent opportunity, you will be the sinner of the Cloud Concealment Sect, do you understand? Snap out of it!"
The sound waves shook Cang Rui so much that his face paled, and he hurriedly replied respectfully, assuring that he would definitely let the sect disciples reside in Mr. Jiang’s small courtyard.
Of course, it would be even better if they could collectively relocate into the divine mountain’s divine city!
Old Dog finally felt a bit relieved, then put away the communication stone, frowning as he pondered how to propose such a bold request to the master.
Hu Zhile was privately messaging her little sister, thinking that this time with the master gaining the supreme treasure of the divine mountain, there surely would be many places needing help. She wondered if she could help her sister seize the opportunity to further her status, as even being a maid by the master’s side would be better than just being a guest now.
Yuan Man, being of guest status, was not included in this invitation.
Seeing one shocking message after another in the small courtyard chat group, she became increasingly aware that following Mr. Jiang this time was the most crucial part of destiny.
If she seizes the opportunity to uncover various secrets, it will just be the beginning. Yuan Man believes she needs to quickly groom a new city lord for Cloud City so she can relinquish her duties and follow Mr. Jiang, pursuing the cultivation path and striving for early ascension!
Thinking of this, she abandoned casual chat and immediately got up to check the cultivation progress of the Little Rabbit Demon.
Previously she had considered entrusting Cloud City to Bai Yunqi, but later he successfully transformed into a Flood Dragon, abandoning his ascent as an Azure Dragon, dedicatedly following Mr. Jiang, making it clear he wouldn’t lower himself to being a mere city lord.
Yuan Man shifted her focus to the fortuitous Little Rabbit Demon, Fengling, who had received a Dragon Breath from Bai Yunqi and learned a new Earth Element Technique under Hu Zhile’s guidance, whose cultivation was rapidly increasing.
In the future, once she reaches a sufficient strength, Yuan Man would personally guide her on how to assume the role of the city lord, the future is promising!
Qu Luming excitedly talked in the group for a moment, looking at the ruins of the divine city in dire need of restoration, and suddenly recalled his "abandoned" main body.
What a lousy Demon Realm Alliance, a mess with tons of issues, having endured for so many years just to create a group ascension trick that turned out to be mere illusionary bubbles. He’s thinking about persuading Du Li again, as long as he can find a way to get onto Mr. Jiang’s boat, he’ll be stable for the rest of his life!
"Daydreaming early in the morning?" Du Li received the message and listened to the sneaky little mutterings of his split soul, talking about righteous ways of the world and how Mr. Jiang could even conquer the Kunlun Divine Mountain, confusedly muttering, "God mountain this and turquoise pool that, surely this guy hasn’t been hitting the bottle again?"
He didn’t pay it much mind, internally puzzled, wondering why he hadn’t been able to sense any connection with his split soul lately.
Du Li secretly tried several times. Being both a demon cultivator and ghost cultivator, unable to absorb his split soul is normal, but why does the control of the main body over the split soul seem invalid?
What’s going on here?
Could it be that Qu Luming lingering in the Netherworld affects their bond?
After all, the operation that turned the split soul into a ghost cultivator before dying was unprecedented, he had no comparison group, truly unable to understand the current situation.
If the control of the main body over the split soul completely fails, does Qu Luming still count as his main body?
He decides that when the time is right, he will have a good talk with the split soul to see if he feels any strangeness, perhaps identifying the crux of the problem.
Seeing the morning time for a beating nearing, today being free of duties, Du Li early teleported to Carefree City hoping to stroll around and then join Miss Hu heading to the courtyard.
The wilderness is about to ascend; the city after bustling all night is starting to quiet down.
Except for the final calibration jobs at the roadside shops, pedestrians are scant, and the city defense array of Carefree City becomes increasingly radiant in the morning light.
"A night hunting so many demon beasts, yielding numerous demon cores, yet the number of beasts keeps rising." Du Li looked at baskets of bloody demon cores, thinking of the report from the alliance, his mood gradually heavy.
Adding teleportation arrays around some city areas, encouraging demon cultivators to hunt more demon beasts ultimately isn’t a fix-all solution.
Additionally, the more demon cores entering the market, the lower the prices, reducing profitable gains from hunting, causing many demon cultivators to leave the business.
Controlling demon beast population becomes a significant challenge faced by the Demon Realm Alliance.
Adding to this, relying on the remnant power of the celestial Dao for ascension is still a mere dream. Recently, an array master activated the array of Wanmang Mountain, gathered at least thousands of demon cultivators, and still, the celestial Dao’s remnant power swallowed them without easing the situation at all.
Du Li comforted himself, thinking surely these rabble lacked cultivation and fortune to withstand the celestial Dao’s power and thus vanished. Once Mr. Jiang restores City Lord Yuan’s Heart Mirror, selecting qualified cultivators, and activating the array, they definitely could succeed in ascending to immortality!
However, nobody knows how long it will take to assemble qualified cultivators.
As the Vice Alliance Hierarch, he needs to have dual plans, especially during these lengthy years waiting, must figure out methods to curb unbridled demon beast proliferation to prevent disruptions in the group ascension plan.
"Duang!"
While pondering, suddenly the ground trembled, the city defense array shook near breaking.
Amidst the crash, a deep voice roared, "Carefree City, city of sins, slaughtered countless of my descendants in one night, today you shall pay the blood debt with blood!"
Despite the protection of the great array, the sound wave shook the demon cultivators in the city, stirring their blood, and shocking their hearts.
Even Du Li’s pupils contracted—clearly indicating a Great Demon Beast seeking revenge, an inevitable fierce battle is looming!
