NOVPUB"The Lord of Dreams is about to revive!"
In their memories, there was nothing about the Lord of Dreams’ appearance.
Yet, upon seeing this half-revealed face, none had any doubts.
All were unbearably excited.
The cultivator clad in a ritual robe, a peak fourth-level one, looked at the tall divine statue with eyes mixed with shock and joy, then seemed to remember something, and immediately turned his head with a cold, piercing gaze sweeping over the people below and said:
"The Lord of Dreams is reviving at a speed far beyond our predictions; it’s not impossible that we might see His return within a hundred years."
"Everyone, the changes in the statue of the Lord of Dreams today must remain inside your bellies!"
"Otherwise, if other Divine Venerables learn about it, they might covet the Lord’s powers... Once the Lord truly vanishes, we will have no hope left!"
The crowd below, feeling the cold, serpentine gaze of the robed cultivator, couldn’t help but shiver.
They immediately loudly said:
"Yes! We obey the great elder’s command!"
At the same moment.
Deep within the Pantheon, within three divine temples.
A voice that couldn’t be distinguished as male or female slowly sounded:
"Yin God... actually shows signs of reviving."
"Is it the one from the Yan who has ascended, or the one who is about to be no more?"
After pondering for a moment, She softly said:
"Has there been any movement on the Yan’s side?"
A voice, indifferent yet respectful, quickly responded:
"Upon the Mother Goddess, the great elder of Yan’s primitive Demonic Sect returned to His sect and since then, there has been no sign of activity, even with Yan State being attacked, they have not made any substantial response."
"No response? That’s unexpected..."
A kind voice spoke, yet with a hint of confusion:
"What exactly is this primitive Demonic Sect planning?"
...
"I heard that Sen State has gone mad with activity recently! Who would have thought, the Three Danger Lands actually contain several ancient Dao Secrets!"
"What a pity, I haven’t even passed through the Nascent Soul Tribulation yet, so I’ve no hopes for those Dao Secrets."
In the temporary imperial palace of Diwu Hall beneath Yuhuang Peak.
Xi Wushang stood beside Wang Ba, animatedly recounting the news he had heard from other enforcers.
But in the end, he couldn’t help but show a look of regret.
Wang Ba, hearing this, also became curious:
"So many? But with Vice Hall Master Song and the other three peak-stage Nascent Soul cultivators working together, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?"
Xi Wushang, hearing this, immediately perked up, shaking his head and said:
"You’ve got it wrong! These Dao Secrets are not just sitting there waiting for people to claim them. Each one, it’s said, possesses incredible might, and ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators can’t even get close, not to mention they move unfathomably, not something that can be caught in a short time. Moreover, the location is special, at the border of Sen State, the Kingdom of Immortals, and the Chu Dynasty. Now people from Chu and the Kingdom of Immortals are all vying for them."
"The Kingdom of Immortals people also vying for Dao Secrets? They shouldn’t need it, right?"
Wang Ba said, confused.
"Not sure about that, not just Chu and the Kingdom of Immortals, I’ve heard Longevity Sect, Youxian Temple, Qin Family, and even the primitive Demonic Sect have people coming over."
Xi Wushang shook his head slightly.
"So many people have come?"
Wang Ba was greatly surprised.
"Absolutely, you haven’t heard, these Dao Secrets seem to be different, once assimilated, they may immediately bring about Cultivation Ascension, this kind of enticement, who could resist? Not to speak of others, even within our Sect, there are countless who are stuck at the Nascent Soul peak, unable to comprehend the Dao Secret."
"This competition over the Dao Secrets is likely to be another bloody struggle."
Xi Wushang continued speaking, filled with emotion, then turned to Wang Ba, curiously asking:
"You’ve been out of sight recently, lad; is Diwu Hall that busy? We in Rende Hall have nearly finished our tasks. In a few days, we’ll be starting the Sect’s new cultivator assessments."
Wang Ba, hearing this, came back to his senses, and smiled without giving away too much.
These past few months, Wang Ba had indeed put in incredible effort on the survival matters of the thirty million mortals.
From initially sustaining these mortals to gradually guiding them to sustain themselves.
Even though he was seen as an ’immortal’ who could do anything in the eyes of mortals, the amount of effort required was hard to articulate.
The resource coordination for Qi had also come to an end, but dealing with and guiding the mortals was still ongoing.
Soon, though, Wang Ba began to worry.
He had exhausted his strength on these mortals, but in the end, along with the dungeon, they were still to be handed over to the Sect.
Although he had quietly begun moving some of the population to the Scroll Dungeon, he couldn’t be too obvious about it.
After all, everyone knew that there were thirty million mortals in the Pearl Dungeon, and if after a check, they found people missing, he would have no way to explain it.
Demon Sect cultivators, too, had a liking for mortals.
"Let’s see how it goes."
Wang Ba pondered this way and that and ultimately decided to take it one step at a time.
If it really came to it, he would ask his master to step in.
The Sect should be willing to give face to a practitioner who attains spiritual transformation, especially since he hadn’t harmed any of the mortals.
Of course, this was on the premise that Master Yao Wudi knew about the matter.
So, after considering back and forth, he decided to come clean with his master.
Because he had been dealing with the mortals and the resources of Qi, now that the former was finally on the right track and the latter nearing completion, he finally had some time and freedom.
"Diwu Hall will have to wait for Martial Uncle Song to return; he’s the main person in charge of this operation. Without his word, unless Master Xi or the Sect Master orders, we can only wait here properly."
