Chapter 623: Chapter 538: Sorting Out

As the big shots disappeared one by one, the celestial formation in the sky began to slowly fade away, the stars receded, and sunlight pierced through the darkness of the starry sky. The golden sunlight scattered down, startling the people in the city who had been frozen in place.

All that had just transpired seemed like a dream.

However, the still-strong environment suffused with spiritual power, the ordinary people around them, and even novice cultivators who were sound asleep, all these were telling them that what had happened was real.

Once the people had recovered, there was commotion throughout the city.

"This... this is the technique of the ancient cultivators?"

"Shen Hong, the Sword Immortal! No wonder he left such a formidable reputation during the era of the Immortal Alliance!"

"Could it be that this Shen Hong really is a Sword Immortal?"

"What concerns me more is that our Changbao has over thirty great cultivators at the Infant God level? From several generations of sealed cultivators?"

"Was that really a breakthrough just now?"

"Isn’t it obvious? It looked as if they had self-sealed, gathered characters from various generations, and made a collective breakthrough."

"There are tactics like this?"

"Don’t be surprised. The Twenty-Eight Star Array is the Dajian’s renowned tactic, and it’s not to be practiced by anyone other than the royal family and direct descendants. It is said that the Dajian Dragon Vein Formation originated from this, it’s the foundation among the foundations of Dajian!"

"That... does that mean it’s easy for Dajian’s Infant Gods to break through?"

"Easy, are you still dreaming?"

"Wake up, my friend. There are many ways to break through in Array Dao, but can you ensure success? Furthermore, what about twenty-eight people breaking through together, any slight movement would affect the whole body, which would require a great deal of courage!"

"What does it mean?"

"It’s rumored that this array can indeed help others break through, but it’s a road of mutual glory or mutual loss. If most people can break through that’s fine, but if one or two people lag behind, could they be forcibly dragged along by the qi mechanism?"

"What if there are more people lagging behind?"

"It doesn’t take too many, just three to five lagging behind, everyone will have to go to the Underworld together!"

"Going to the Underworld, that serious?"

"What do you think? After many people fail, their qi will be interconnected; that would have a huge impact. Not to mention not being injured, even survival would be difficult."

"Hiss... it’s that scary?"

"What else do you think? Let alone the Twenty-Eight Star Array, even the Eastern Azure Dragon Seven-Star Dajian rarely opens in a thousand years. Those who are sure do not need it, those who are not sure... you’re dreaming, even your own father wouldn’t dare to let you breakthrough like this!"

"In fact, most of the Array break-through methods are like this!"

"So they still dared to self-seal, gather people from several generations to break through together, are they seeking death?"

"All I can say is, this Sword Immortal must have some kind of method that drives them crazy! After all, he is a great cultivator with a renowned reputation during the era of the Immortal Alliance!"

"Yes, Shen Hong, the Sword Immortal! How many legends are there about him!"

"..."

With over twenty Yuan Shen God Monarchs breaking through, it was destined to be a super big event, bound to cause a huge stir throughout the Spirit Suppressing Realm.

But with this kind of strength, Changbao was no longer afraid, especially in the current situation!

From today onwards, as long as Changbao didn’t court death, it should be able to hold a not-so-low status in the Spirit Suppressing Realm.

Moreover, they were nominally a vassal state of Daqian, so they also had a super big backer!

Therefore, the entire Spirit Suppressing Realm was even more turbulent!

...

Wang Zijia and a group of Yuan Shen big shots went from the City Lord’s Mansion to the underground palace in succession.

The newly-breakthrough Yuan Shen cultivators all entered a special area en masse, a place filled with rooms specifically designed to stabilize cultivation.

On the other hand, Wang Zijia was arranged a special palace.

Upon entering, Wang Zijia found the setup to be incredibly extravagant. It could be described as ’luxurious’.

It wasn’t the kind of luxury seen in the mortal world. The entire palace was situated at the mouth of this city’s spiritual vein, and there was a sixth-grade great array that could be freely controlled. The furniture made of calming wood was like a spiritual tool, as if it constantly emitted the fragrance of the third-grade calming incense beneficial for entering tranquility.

The meditation cushion that was used for meditating was damned well-knitted from third-grade Enlightenment Grass.

The people below had even given this palace the name ’Sword Immortal Palace’!

Having never enjoyed such ’luxurious’ treatment before, Wang Zijia stood stunned for a moment after arriving at the cultivation room, then pursed his lips.

"The accumulated wealth of Hidden Tower over eight-thousand years doesn’t seem so bad!"

Shaking his head, he discarded all the chaotic thoughts from his mind and took a moment to regulate his breath.

The next moment, he raised his hand and a shadow emerged.

’Faux Spirit Borrow Way: Gui Ling’er!’

The shadow of Gui Ling’er, who was originally at the peak of the Infant God level, seemed to be pulled by something, slowed down its emergence, and its aura surged rapidly.

From the pinnacle of the Infant God level, it quickly entered the pinnacle of Yuan Shen.

Each usage of Faux Spirit Borrow Way, as long as the target was still under the control of Demon Seeding, could connect with the original Dao consistency. As long as the other party advanced, his faux spirit could advance too.

Of course, if not connected, it would only maintain the previously evolved faux spirit status.

Simply put, it’s capable of replicating the controlled person anytime and achieving status synchronization!

With the faux spirit’s formation completed, boosting him.

Wang Zijia’s aura rapidly climbed and reached the Yuan Shen peak in the blink of an eye.

"So this is the power of a Yuan Shen Great Cultivator? It’s truly addictive!"

Feeling the exaggerated strength within every move, as if experiencing a leap in life’s level, Zijia’s face was full of intoxication.

"But the eruption of this power is too strong, even adding all the mana in the external Dantian, I could probably only use it twice, right?"

"I guess two shots are a bit risky!"

It took a moment for him to adapt to this kind of power.

Zijia began to try and familiarize himself with it. It was not only Gui Ling’er, but also the evolution of other people’s Faux Spirit.

These twenty-six people plus three tortoise’s Faux Spirit were learning a mixed variety of types.

Even after one promotion, the disordered things were adjusted, and most of the core was still retained.

Therefore, it almost includes the majority of ordinary Dao Consistency methods, allowing Zijia to develop horizontally to a terrifying extent.

He was a standard bucket cultivator!

It might not be easy to restrain him in terms of Tao Law!

But he needed to focus on his Dao cultivation!

······

It took Zijia most of the day to finish his Cultivation and leave the cultivation room.

"Great honor to meet you, Ancestor!" As soon as he walked out of the cultivation room, four very young and clean ten-year-old children respectfully greeted Zijia.

Two boys and two girls, whether in temperament or looks, and even in mentality, were probably the best of their generation in the Li Family!

Zijia glanced at the four people for a moment, which made the four children, who were trying to keep their composure, a little nervous.

He didn’t continue to stay silent because the pressure would be too great for these kids.

He showed a somewhat lenient smile and asked, "Who is in charge now?"

"Responding to Ancestor, Patriarch Wangzu and the three tortoise ancestors are in seclusion, and now Elder Li Xingming is in charge of the affairs in the underground palace."

One of boys taking the lead among the four, who also seemed the oldest, replied:

"Elder Li Xuhai has already rushed back to Kyoto. The disturbance caused by the ancestors today was too great, and there needs someone to calm things down over there."

Li Xingming and Li Xuhai were the remaining two God Monarchs of the current Li Family.

Among them, Zijia was relatively familiar with Li Xingming. Of course, the other party probably didn’t realize it yet, even if they had any guess, it would only be a vague guess.

"Call Li Xingming then!" Zijia commanded.

"Understood!" The four children respectfully replied.

Zijia didn’t say more and left the cultivation room, casually heading towards the office on the other side.

One of the children ran off hastily, and the remaining three followed Zijia obediently.

When Zijia entered the room, two of the children started to make tea and prepare things, obviously they were strictly trained.

This was a very common phenomenon in the whole Spirit Suppressing Realm, even in the whole Daqian. Moreover, countless people would fight over such jobs.

The children serving the major elderly ancestors and Great Cultivators hosted one of the most promising positions.

It was called the "child realm" at the initial stage of cultivation, which shows how exaggerated the prospects of this position could be!

In fact, not only in this world, but in many worlds, positions like Daoist boys, Book boys, and Secretaries are very promising.

Those who could mix with the Big Shots, how could they have a low future?

······

A moment later, in the study room of the Sword Immortal Palace.

When Li Xingming rushed over, Zijia, under the care of two children, was quietly tasting tea.

Well, it was fourth-grade Spiritual Tea, with a lingering aftertaste. However, the value degree given by the same amount of Love Poison Pill was much higher, Zijia was a bit corrupt.

"Li Xingming pays his respects to Elder Sheng Hong!" Li Xingming respectfully saluted the silver-haired Zijia.

"What’s the situation outside?" Zijia asked.

"Reporting to the Ancestor, quite a lot of people quietly came to the Sword Burial Valley, making it a bit ’lively’, but for now, nothing chaotic has happened."

Li Xingming hesitated in his words and then added uncertain whether Zijia was asking about this:

"As for our Changbao, everything is still calm. It will probably take a month for the powers outside Changbao State to react. After all, with so many of us breaking through together, they are likely to pay a visit after a while."

Zijia nodded, asked, "What about Gui Ling’er and the others?"

"All the elders are very stable and are all working hard to consolidate their cultivation." Li Xingming immediately replied.

Zijia fell into contemplation. Then, he suddenly changed the subject, "How many resources do we have left in the family warehouse?"

Upon hearing this, Li Xingming fell silent. He probably felt it was somewhat shameful and disrespectful to the ancestor. He lowered his head and said:

"Our Changbao has been without a national treasury for two thousand years. It has become a situation where various clans rule separately, our royal family only has a clan library left, equivalent to an ordinary cultivation family."

"Apart from Kyoto Prefecture, the rest of the prefectures are controlled by various major families. Only this Burial Sword Valley is special and no one dares to touch."

"If not for Gui Ling’er Patriarch who did not allow Changbao to split, the overall situation would probably not have been maintained until now!"

He did not try to evade or hide, but frankly explained the current situation in Changbao State.

"We, your unworthy grandchildren, await your punishment, Ancestor!"
