BXBX NOVEL Chapter 495: 302: Harvest (Happy New Year's Eve, one more to come)
“So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!”
“This is where his confidence in breaking the formation lies!”
Looking up at the White Jade Immortal City above the high sky, Xiao Miao was at a loss for words, while Xuan Zhen was full of exclamations.
It took him a while to come to his senses, then he turned to the still dazed Xiao Miao and shouted, “Kid, what are you blanking out for, hurry over there!”
“Huh?”
Xiao Miao was taken aback, confused: “Over there, where?”
“Where else could it be!”
Xuan Zhen called out repeatedly, “Of course it’s to the Immortal City, quick, if we’re too late it’ll be too late, you don’t want to get trapped in this godforsaken place and die, do you?”
“Oh, oh, oh!”
Although he had not grasped the intricacies, with “elder” Xuan Zhen having spoken, Xiao Miao didn’t feel it was right to say more. He immediately used the Minor Five Elements Escape Art, rushing towards the location of the White Jade Immortal City.
It was not just him. Within the Void Spirit Cave Heaven, cultivators from all directions were doing the same, frantically racing towards Fish and Dragon Island.
And at this time, around Fish and Dragon Island…
“Fish and Dragon Island, is it Green Jade Mountain?”
“Li Liuxian, is he King Shifa?”
“This… this… this…”
Around Fish and Dragon Island, the cultivators who had arrived early to watch the situation were all pale as death.
A few Golden Core cultivators even knelt directly on the ground, continuously kowtowing and saying, “We were blind and did not recognize Mount Tai, unaware of Spell King’s True Body, nearly ruined the Spell King’s grand plan, please punish us, please punish us!”
The group was panic-stricken, repeatedly pleading guilty, not even daring to seek forgiveness.
No wonder.
Although they did not have the eye for detail of a Great Return to Void Cultivator like Xuan Zhen, they were not fools; naturally, they did not believe the Heavenly Punishment Thunder for this scale of tribulation was brought upon by a Nascent Soul.
An insignificant Nascent Soul, what virtue or ability could lead to the coming of Heavenly Punishment Thunder?
If not Nascent Soul, then what?
Deity Transformation?
The crowd had no knowledge, unable to speculate; but one thing they were sure of was that within the Cultivation Realm of Liang Country, there was only one person with such ability!
Green Jade Mountain, King Shifa!
After realizing this, everyone felt a darkness before their eyes, nearly fainting from fright.
Ever since the battle at Tianshu Sect seventy years ago, with King Shifa gone missing and Green Jade Mountain vanished, Liang Country’s Cultivation Realm had become a world for Golden Core cultivators, ruled by various Golden Core powers, each governing their own territories.
Fish and Dragon Island was also one of the Golden Core forces. Over time, it had expanded its influence, clashing with neighboring powers multiple times. Its strength was so great that it even made other nearby Golden Core powers feel threatened. They started creating alliances to suppress it.
Although the suppression didn’t have much effect, and was even turned around by Fish and Dragon Island, the hostile relationships were nonetheless established.
Furthermore, when the Heavenly Punishment descended, they had followed the news and gathered here, many with ulterior motives, many with ill-intent…
Now, as the shocking news broke and Fish and Dragon Island revealed its foundation with King Shifa reemerging in the Cultivation Realm, their previous actions were probably only describable by four words.
Deserving death a thousand times over!
For this, several people wanted to cry but had no tears.
How would they know that Fish and Dragon Island was Green Jade Mountain, that Li Liuxian was King Shifa?
If they had known, they wouldn’t have dared to make things difficult for Fish and Dragon Island all these years even if they had ten thousand times the courage.
Now what? How would they end this?
The few had no idea and could only kneel down to plead guilty.
As for fleeing for their lives…
Looking at the White Jade Immortal City, and thinking back to the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Tribulation just now, this thought had barely risen before it was ruthlessly crushed inside them.
Just like these few, the others were the same, all sincerely terrified and at a loss.
Just then, from within the White Jade Immortal City, a thunderous voice boomed, reverberating through the Void Spirit Cave Heaven.
“This is a Death Land, and after thirty years, a great calamity will come, overturning Qiankun, causing calamity to living beings.”
“I have forged this city, named the White Jade Capital, wishing to use it to break the realm and leave, to avoid this tribulation.”
“Alas, with shallow cultivation, the road ahead is uncertain, life and death unpredictable; truly unsure if I can break through this calamity.”
“If you are willing to entrust your lives and follow me in taking the city to break the realm and leave, come to Dongting Lake, Fish and Dragon Island.”
“Three months later, the White Jade Capital will break the realm and depart!”
The voice was as resounding as thunder, sweeping through the Void Spirit Cave Heaven, showcasing the incredible power of a cultivator.
“This…”
Upon hearing this, the kneeling people were first stunned, then came to their senses and kowtowed incessantly towards the White Jade Immortal City above Fish and Dragon Island.
“Spell King is benevolent, Spell King is benevolent!”
“Great Mercy, Great Mercy!”
“We from Green Crane Mountain swear to follow the Spell King to death!”
“Cloud Dream Valley is willing to follow the Spell King, without regret even in death nine times over!”
“We from Poison Dragon Pool…”
“We from Hundred Herbs Sect…”
“We from Flying Cloud Pavilion…”
Several people kowtowed, sincerely terrified and overjoyed.
As Golden Core cultivators, although they did not know the secrets of the Void Spirit Cave Heaven, they vaguely felt something was amiss here. Hence, they were worried but didn’t know how to resolve the problem.
Now that their worries had materialized, they were even more lost. Just when they were pondering their next move, Fish and Dragon Island presented them with such a choice.
Whether to stay here and wait for that “great calamity” to come or to follow King Shifa, join Fish and Dragon Island, and take the White Jade Immortal City to break the realm and leave?
There was truly no need to think about it.
Even without the pressure of the great calamity, the chance to enter the gates of this Immortal City represented immense opportunity for these Golden Core forces. Their future prospects, the hope of achieving Nascent Soul, could be said to depend entirely upon this.
So, was there still anything to think about?
The several of them immediately on behalf of the forces, families, and sects they represented, fervently pledged their loyalty.
On the other side…
“This…”
“Brother Dao Shi, impressive!”
Xiao Miao was still fleeing when he heard a sigh in his mind, it was Xuan Zhen speaking up.
At this point, he too had grasped the key point, and said excitedly: “King Shifa is actually willing to take the people of Liang Country’s Cultivation Realm to break the realm and leave. Just by boarding this route, we can get out of this godforsaken place.”
