Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 572 - 74: Ten Days in the Sky (16,000 Da Zhang)_5

Although he wasn’t as cherished by Luo Hou King as others, he was still one of Liu Tianning’s supporting powerhouses.

"Let’s follow his suggestion and temporarily pause the Forget Sorrow Array and Yuan Feng Formation," said King Heavenly Destiny, "However, it is best not to pause for too long, to prevent dissatisfaction."

...

July 28th, Southern Desolate.

Inside a temple, the statue of Blood Spirit Venerable came to life once more.

Only this time, his aura was somewhat illusory.

"Why is it more difficult than I expected? And why are there more variables... The cost of initiating the Xuantian Breaking Realm Array has increased," he mused.

In Ten Suns Palace, an ancient god’s statue remained.

Long before the Ten Suns Cave Heaven fell into the hands of Great Zhou, Blood Spirit Venerable had planted one of his avatars there, although it had been dormant all this while.

Now, he intended to activate the Xuantian Breaking Realm Array to first break through barriers, then awaken his avatar before starting the arrangements within it.

Now, the difficulty was much greater than expected.

He tried to calculate using his fingers within, yet he could not deduce anything.

"Is the difficulty of opening the passage increasing?"

This conjecture seemed plausible, as the elevation of the Grotto Heaven led to fluctuations in the world’s barriers.

Sometimes high, sometimes low.

For him to open the passage was not so easy.

Therefore, Blood Spirit Venerable had originally planned to act at the beginning of September because it would be easier for him to enter, and the sect would pay a relatively smaller price.

"As the action approaches, unexpected changes have emerged," Blood Spirit Venerable pondered, "We need to prepare earlier to increase our odds of success."

The temple was established on a mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, there were over a hundred thousand believers praying towards the temple above, their golden light entering into Blood Spirit Venerable’s body.

"Longyangzi," Blood Spirit Venerable transmitted his voice to a spot in the temple.

"Venerable," Longyang Daoist immediately rushed over and knelt respectfully.

"Go ask the Royal Court for five thousand boys and girls to come here, no older than nine, and send them into the Blood Pool," he instructed.

"Also, bring me ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Yin-year Yin-month deceased ghosts."

"Remember, these ghosts must reach the Eighth-Grade Ghosts realm," Blood Spirit Venerable said indifferently.

Longyang Daoist looked up: "Venerable, I fear the Holy Light Royal Court will not agree."

"Just go and ask. That’s your responsibility," Blood Spirit Venerable replied coldly, "Remember, screen them carefully and be quick."

"If there is any oversight, you’ll find death is beyond your reach," he warned.

A shiver went through Longyang Daoist, who hastily acknowledged, "Yes, Venerable."

The statue of Blood Spirit Venerable in the temple absorbed a wave of golden light and then returned to its state as a statue.

...

July 29th.

In the areas around the Crimson Lake, the rules suddenly changed.

"How odd, why would they change just like that? The effects of the Forget Sorrow Array are gone?"

On Lake Heart Island, Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun were examining the news in the Earth Mirror.

It was an announcement from the Military Realm.

The Forget Sorrow effect suddenly disappeared in sixteen areas, including Yao Guang Island and Hong Song Forest.

"I was actually planning to go to these places to flex my muscles," Xia Jing frowned, as memory retention wasn’t an issue inside, nor was there fear of offending anyone.

Currently, the power wielded by Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun was immense!

In Liu Tianning’s group, they had, over three months, either gained additional places through persuasion, already had some, or formed alliances and cooperation.

The combat power they could now mobilize, with just the Fifth Grade, exceeded sixty-five people!

And that was just the people!

In fact, most wealthy powers were guarded by ’Mechanical Puppets.’

For example, Ji Ye previously in the Extreme Night Sea didn’t have many people, but he did possess two to three hundred Mechanical Puppets with Fifth Grade Combat Power!

Now that Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun had risen, their power was formidable.

This was also why Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun couldn’t easily walk away from their responsibilities.

He was now placed in this position.

If he did well with the people under him, he could continue these network relationships indefinitely, reaping endless benefits in the future.

If he were to abandon his duties now, it would affect not just him personally, but both the Xiahou and the Pingyang Commandery Prince families.

"Cousin," Ji Ziyun entered the tent at this moment, "Did you see the message?"

"I saw it," Xia Jing replied, "I’m not sure why this change has occurred."

"I heard that Liu Tianning’s Ten Thousand Skill Tower Ship has arrived near Crimson Lake and hasn’t left; could it be related to him?" Ji Ziyun speculated, "Could it be another opportunity as significant as the one in Extreme Night Sea?"

"If that were the case, there’s no reason Zhao Xing wouldn’t have informed me," Xia Jing was puzzled.

He was confident in his friendship with Zhao Xing.

Even if it’s inconvenient to share the spoils, he should have been informed about such sudden changes.

As he pondered, suddenly—

"Buzz~"

The Earth Mirrors of both Xia Jing and Ji Ziyun sounded simultaneously.

"It’s Zhao Xing."

"Speaking of the devil, and he shall appear," Xia Jing laughed. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

"You take it, cousin," Ji Ziyun said.

"Brother Xia, Mr. Ji," Zhao Xing’s projection appeared inside the tent, "Did you receive the message from the Military Realm?"

"We received it," Xia Jing nodded, "Does this have to do with Mr. Liu?"

"Yes," Zhao Xing nodded, "I only just found out, my teacher did not tell me the reason."

Liu Tianning and Luo Hou King’s announcement was unknown to Zhao Xing.

It would be impossible for Lao Liu to tell him everything.

So Zhao Xing received the message at the same time as Xia Jing.

However, Zhao Xing guessed it was Liu Tianning’s doing, as he was the only one with the influence to persuade the three kings to change the game rules.

"Is there some great opportunity? It’s not going to be about fish again, is it?" Xia Jing joked; there were indeed fish in Crimson Lake.

"I have only a clone following," Zhao Xing said, "I do not know the specifics."

"But, my teacher doesn’t seem to be seeking treasures, nor has he called for my true self. So, I advise you, if you are almost finished, it’s best to leave Crimson Lake."
