Chapter 1180 - 305: Disgraceful Scum, Betrayer of Comrades
"From now on, I will never approach within three thousand li... no, ten thousand li of the Forbidden Land in Jinlan Mountain!"
The Black Shadow Man, feeling joyful from the drinks and boasting recklessly with others, returned to his room, activated the Jade Tablet, listened to the stories within, and closed his eyes to relax.
He was overly fond of being corrupted, especially after coming out of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, and without the constant churning malice, he found it difficult to muster any interest in the ambitions of others within the Mud Sea of the Muddied World.
The Black Shadow Man pondered aimlessly, then fell sound asleep, without a trace of caution.
Because the expenses here were high, basic safety was assured.
As long as one was willing to spend money, it didn't matter whether they were human or ghost.
On the other side, Yu Ziqing was still conducting various experiments and probing, mentally conjuring up what the entity that lent strength to Yuan Chou might look like.
Unfortunately, Yu Ziqing would probably never guess that the other party was now asleep in a brothel.
Moreover, it was a high-end brothel in Daqian, especially focusing on customer experience, opened by Emperor Kuihou.
Emperor Kuihou remembered Yu Ziqing's nonsensical philosophy: Customers are here to have fun.
For many cultivators, they had passed the age of needing real weapons to do actual work, even if their exterior remained young, their hearts were no longer youthful.
They sought fun, literally seeking happiness, relaxation, and indulgence.
Thus, Emperor Kuihou didn't open branch shops, but rather established many brands, differentiating by tiers.
The place where the Black Shadow Man came was of a high caliber, to think of taking off pants here would truly be looked down upon.
Recently, Emperor Kuihou was even considering whether to change the name again.
The name brothel drew a lot of traffic, was useful, and had a wide customer base, but the downside was that its reputation was not that great.
What he wanted to create was high-end, stylish, and trendy, a sanctuary for the mind, a place for cultivators with strained mental states to relax, so they could loosen up and cultivate better.
Every place was subtly changing something.
On the South Sea Island, a group of deans gathered together, they stood at ten directions of the island, completed setting the big array, and activated it from ten directions simultaneously.
A light screen suddenly rose from the ground, and within moments, where it contacted the ground, the light screen seemed to solidify, continuously extending upwards.
The light screens from the ten directions converged above the island, at the center forming a rune with ten branches, solidifying like a grey stone, fixed quietly.
Once the big array fully activated, the entire island was sealed off completely from the outside world, even seawater and air could not penetrate.
Or to say, the island was now isolated from the world, because within the Big Island Cave Heaven, it was still connected to the Void, where the Sun, Moon, and Star Radiance could pour in, continuously transforming into Spiritual Energy.
A group of deans came together, rechecked three times, and Chu Ye showed a smile.
"Succeeded, a large chamber.
Now, no power will obstruct us anymore.
Before success, this place will not be unsealed."
Yang smiled, extended a finger.
"This time, thirty years! Within thirty years, we will certainly succeed!"
Everyone was full of confidence, as if foreseeing the day when their names would be inscribed at the core of the historical records.
Even in the briefest of records, their names would not be omitted.
Upon completing the big array modeled after the Big Island Cave Heaven, as long as the difficulty was low enough, and the material values required were low enough, spreading such arrays worldwide.
At the very least, their world would never be at risk of degradation again, with time, a change in quantity would lead to a qualitative transformation, and the world itself would elevate.
This is the thought of orthodox Dao cultivators.
The Ninth Tier was the limit, so they sought to open the path to the Tenth Tier for the whole world.
In their perspective, they wouldn't wish for everyone to be Ninth Tier as the best, nor would they seek a method to advance to the Tenth Tier alone and become the strongest.
They only thought that a Tenth Tier path was merely a road forcibly walked upon this path.
Reaching here might make the pursuit of truth easier, that's all.
Pursuing power, even they would despise themselves.
As the massive chamber was completed, Yang's heart calmed, and his whole being seemed to settle down.
The past frustrations, the short temper that would flare at the slightest, seemed to have vanished.
He looked at the other deans, believed they felt the same.
Recently, the deans had been at odds, but everyone exercised restraint, any conflicts were direct physical fights, no one went all out, lest the Cave Heaven or Big Island be damaged, resulting in failure.
Moreover, direct physical combat was a more effective way to vent inner agitation than competing with secret techniques.
In fact, to make the hits hurt more and be more resilient, some deans even lightly cultivated a bit of body refinement Dharma Method.
From the day the super-large chamber took shape, the progress of the long-stalled Spiritual Energy conversion formation suddenly accelerated.
The deans, full of pent-up energy, unleashed their full potential, their thoughts leaping at such speed that even the hard-working students couldn't keep up with them.
They couldn't even instantly understand each other anymore, needing a moment to think, and some explanation.
If this pace continued, forget thirty years, they might achieve their goal in just ten years.
...
Abyss, Yu Ziqing came again to the shore of the Mud Sea of the Muddied World, and after patrolling along the coast for a long time, besides an uncountable amount of Black Soil, he found nothing else.
