Chapter 475: Chapter 474 The First Siege Battle by Jiang Li
Before the appearance of the seven gods, Jiang Li had already completed his task.
The system’s task was to get the approval of the seven gods, to become the eighth god.
But the seven gods were controlled by the power of belief. As long as the majority of their followers believed in the existence of the River God, the power of belief generated by the believers would compel the seven gods to acknowledge the River God’s status.
The most compelling proof was the system’s task conclusion.
[Congratulations to the host for completing the task, becoming the eighth god recognized by all gods – the God of Darkness. After learning how to use the power of belief in the Eira World, once the soul returns to its original body, the strength of the host’s soul would be equivalent to that in the Eira World]
[Do you wish to settle the reward?]
“…What on earth is happening?”
Jiang Li recalled—the system originally intended to extract his soul and attach it to a hapless apprentice mage in the Eira World. But since it couldn’t extract his soul, it had to change the form of the task.
It now seemed that although the form of the task had changed, the prewritten task conclusion remained the same.
“According to the task conclusion, the system intended for me to start as an apprentice mage, improve soul strength, and learn to use the power of belief after becoming the ‘God of Darkness’.”
Whether it’s improving soul strength or learning to use the power of belief, it would have been beneficial for Jiang Li five hundred years ago.
“Settle the reward.”
What Jiang Li received was a small fragment of the celestial ascension ladder.
…
Jiang Li arrived at the Dao Sect and found the Immortal Elder.
Seeing Jiang Li enter the cave mansion, Bai Hongtu secretly took out the Remote Communication Talisman and said softly: “Attention, all Sect Dynasty members. The target has entered the Sealing Self Cave and is expected to have a conversation for half an hour.”
“Tianyuan Emperor Dynasty has received the news.”
“Yu Yin, you are indeed very proactive in this regard. Great Zhou Dynasty has received the news.”
“The Great Wei Dynasty has received the news.”
“The Buddhist Sect has received the news.”
“The Body-incorporating Sect has received the news.”
“The Four Sea Dragon Palace has received the news.”
“Red Dust Pure Land is ready.”
Bai Hongtu continued: “Let me reiterate our goal before the battle…”
“Break the Human Emperor’s defense and make him bleed a drop of blood!”
“Break the Human Emperor’s defense and make him bleed a drop of blood!”
“Break the Human Emperor’s defense and make him bleed a drop of blood!”
The representatives of each force roar, full of war intent.
Bai Hongtu took a deep breath, as if announcing a major event that would determine the fate of the nine provinces.
“I announce, the first siege on Jiang Li begins now!”
…
“Frost Giant? I vaguely remember this name.” The Immortal Elder, after listening to Jiang Li’s story in the Eira World, remembered an Immortal he met in the Immortal Realm.
“I remember about forty to fifty thousand years ago, an Immortal who called himself the Frost Giant ascended to the Immortal Realm. We had met a few times.”
“We once sat together while listening to a Heavenly Immortal’s Dao lecture. We discussed our own circumstances, and he said that before he ascended, he left behind two sons. One son inherited his godly nature and the other inherited his demonic nature. As soon as these two sons were born, they were at the Body Integration Realm, and their cries could shatter mountains and cause the river to flow backward, bringing a disaster to the world.”
“Fortunately, he was infinitely close to becoming an Immortal at the time, so he was able to subdue his two sons, or else who knows what would have happened.”
“He also regretted that while his two sons seemed powerful, their highest achievement in life would be reaching the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. They would never have the hope of Ascension. If these two sons had offspring, they would also be extremely powerful, born at the level of Body Integration Realm. After receiving cultivation methods in the future, they would become the Transcendance Tribulation Stage but could only stay at Transcendance Tribulation Stage, unable to Ascend.”
“That is a bloodline’s limitation, the Heavenly Dao’s limitation on races that are born strong.”
“The gods and demons of the Eira World should be the offspring of this Frost Giant.”
“After listening to the Heavenly Immortal’s teaching together, we never met again. I don’t know whether he became a Heavenly Immortal or is still at the Earth Immortal.”
“At the time, the Heavenly Immortal was teaching about the knowledge of formations. It was his first time learning about formations, and he demonstrated a different talent, which got the attention of the Heavenly Immortal. Afterward, he followed that Heavenly Immortal to concentrate on cultivating.”
“Ever since then, we haven’t had any contact, and I don’t know whether he became a Heavenly Immortal before the Heavenly Dao developed spiritual intelligence or if he stayed as an Earth Immortal.”
“Whichever result it is, it’s not what I wanted to see.” The Immortal Elder sighed remembering the Immortal, who could not even be considered an old acquaintance.
He was not sighing for the Frost Giant, but for the entire Immortal Realm.
As soon as Jiang Li left the Immortal Elder’s Sealing Self Cave, he was stopped at the entrance by a cheerful Bai Hongtu.
Bai Hongtu thumbs up, revealing two rows of white teeth: “The Nine Provinces’ Spirit Plant Great Formation is complete, do you want to test its effect?”
Jiang Li rarely saw Bai Hongtu in such a passionate state, and he always felt that this grandson had ulterior motives.
“How to test?”
“Assume you are a Heavenly Immortal attacking Nine Provinces, and I will block your attack as the controller of the Spirit Plant Great Formation.”
“Oh? That’s rather interesting.” Jiang Li did not expect Bai Hongtu’s efficiency to be so high. He had already set up the Spirit Plant Great Formation.
“It’s all thanks to the good cooperation of all dynasties and sects.” Bai Hongtu modestly said.
In terms of the arrangement of the Spirit Plant’s Great Formation, the Spirit Plant Sect benefited the most.
Previously, the Spirit Plant Sect was barely considered a top-ranked strength, with two Body Integrators in the sect who practiced the “Tree Cultivation Decision”.
During the Nine Provinces’ council meeting, the Spirit Plant Sect intelligently seized the business opportunity, and planted trees on a large scale, providing a constant supply of trees for the Spirit Plant Great Formation.
After the Spirit Plant’s Great Formation was completed, the gains of the Spirit Plant Sect equaled several decades of profits of the Sky Mechanism Tower. The Sect Master of the Spirit Plant Sect almost passed out from happiness and ended up eating two Great Restoration Pills in succession.
Now, the Spirit Plant Sect was so wealthy that it could even eat two Great Restoration Pills in a row.
“What’s going on over there?” When Jiang Li wanted to go to the universe, he found a bustling scene at a certain place in the Dao Sect. Officials from the Ming Zhong World and elders from the Dao Sect were discussing something.
“Nothing much, let’s hurry and leave.” Breaking out in cold sweat, Bai Hongtu tried to pull Jiang Li away.
Jiang Li moved forward and asked a Dao Sect disciple: “What is happening?”
Seeing the Human Emperor and the Sect Master coming together, the disciple was under great pressure, especially when he saw his Sect Master desperately winking at him.
After thinking, he felt he should tell the Human Emperor the truth.
“In reply to the Human Emperor, we are discussing with the Ming Zhong World about the agency sales of candy hawthorn. We want the Dao Sect to become Nine Provinces’ sole candy hawthorn supplier.”
“Really?” Jiang Li coldly glanced at Bai Hongtu.
“Yes, our Sect Master said that there have not been large-scale orders between the Nine Provinces’ World and the Ming Zhong World, and many forces are in a wait-and-see period. As one of the six major sects, the Dao Sect should set an example and make outstanding contributions.”
“Hence, the Sect Master chose the food most commonly seen by ordinary cultivators – candy hawthorn – as the first large-scale order.”
Bai Hongtu secretly praised this disciple for his high positioning and decided to promote him to a Core Disciple when the matter ended.
Jiang Li sneered. As if I would believe these nonsense!
