Chapter 159 Combat Mannequins
Inside the council chamber of the Tianyuan School…
Several Supreme Elders from different Sacred Lands, including the one from the Fo Sect, had gathered up here.
In normal times, everyone treated the Tianyuan School as if it was invisible. However, when an order was issued concerning the safety of the world, no Sacred Lands would dare not to come.
“Everyone!” Liu Changkong said after everyone had taken their seats. He glanced across the crowd with a serious face and said, “The Tianxin Bell is a divine tool created from the universe. It has the ability to communicate with the origin of the world, but today, it chimed 81 times by itself, and this foretells a cataclysmic event that will destroy the world is going to happen. Before this, Venerable Fanxing from the Riyue Sect sent a message to us. According to the message, the devil sects have been eliminated, but a portal has appeared, and devils from other dimensions are coming.
“The reason we summoned you all here is to inform you of the gravity of the situation.
“At the same time, we also want to ask if any of you know the portal’s location so that we can destroy it as soon as possible. If not, things will worsen when the devil army arrives. The world will be destroyed, and our land will be trampled on.”
Liu Changkong’s voice was deep and serious.
However, none of them replied to him as they all did not know about it.
Toward the end of the meeting, they came to three conclusions:
Look for the location of the portal.
Prepare for the war.
The Tianyuan School would act as the center of connection.
Each Sacred Land issued orders to its affiliated forces on the same day.
Many experts were patrolling around the land as well to look for the portal, but they could not find anything.
At the Jiuyang Sect…
The people here were oblivious to the catastrophe that was about to befall them.
After burying all of the disciples that had died during the war and fixing the mountain gate, they dispatched many disciples into different locations in Qing Province to take over the properties of the families or clans that had gotten massacred and to bring all parties under their actual control.
Disciples from different peaks were dispatched except Chuyang Peak’s.
As for Zhiyang Peak, the First Seat had been killed, and most of the disciples had been removed from the sect, leaving only a few of them behind.
The Sect Master had no idea what he should do with Zhiyang Peak. None of the remaining disciples were good enough to lead Zhiyang Peak. In the end, the Sect Master governed over Zhiyang Peak temporarily while he looked for a member to take over from him in the future.
The Jiuyang Sect was busy, while Jiang Ming was as free as he used to be. Today, the Great Zhou Calendar 20th October 9,999. It marked the tenth year since the system had awakened.
“One more month!”
While Jiang Ming was reading a book, he kept his eyes on the watch.
He did not have to cultivate anymore.
The inner world would evolve by itself, so he hardly needed to do anything. That being said, he was still able to speed up the process by splitting his mind and integrating it into the inner world.
As for special abilities?
He did not need any of them anymore as he had too many of them right now.
“Winter is so boring without the howling wind and falling snow,” Jiang Ming commented as he closed the book. He looked skyward and let out a sigh.
The weather was basically the same for all four seasons.
It was nice, but it was a bit dull.
Not far away from him, Xi Yao was playing Weiqi with Five Elemental Linglong.
“Xi Yao!” Jiang Ming shouted.
“Yeah?” Xi Yao replied without lifting her head. She was playing with a white stone between her fingers, pouting. “The location of the portal hasn’t been found
yet?”
“Nope. All Sacred Lands, including Long Yuan and the Submerged Dragon Continent, are looking for it, yet none of them has found anything. I suspect that the portal must have been sealed as soon as it emerged. Once it appears again, I’m afraid that our world will be in big trouble.”
“Will there be experts even stronger than Imminent Immortal experts?”
“I doubt so. According to the ancient records of the Sacred Land, if a being more powerful than an Imminent Immortal expert appears, the sky will change.”
“Then there’s nothing to worry about,” Jiang Ming said as he rose to his feet.
He looked toward the north, and a serious expression dawned upon his face.
“What’s wrong, Senior Brother? Did you find anything?”
“Have you noticed anything, Brother Jiang?”
Linglong and Xi Yao stood up at the same time and looked toward the north.
“They’re here!”
Jiang Ming had noticed a dense amount of evil energy spreading from the land in the far north. It was so thick that it enveloped the entire sky and was rapidly moving toward the south.
At the same time, there was also a strange, terrifying aura in the air, and it sent a chill down his spine.
In the far north, tall figures appeared on the horizon one after another. They stopped the wind and caused the ice plain to collapse.
“How terrifying!” Xi Yao’s expression changed.
“Will they keep on coming?” Jiang Ming asked. “I’m not sure about that either,” Xi Yao replied, offering him a bitter smile. An idea popped up in Jiang Ming’s head, and he entered the Supreme Chat Room.
(Jiang Ming: An interdimensional portal has appeared in my world, and we’re under attack by the army from another dimension. What I want to know is, will they keep on appearing through the portal?] [Ming Fei: Group admin, just let me know if you need any help. I’ll do my best to help you! If an interdimensional gateway appears, the cost is small as long as it doesn’t exceed the limit of the power the world can bear.]
[Tian Fozi: Generally speaking, crossing over the gateway is very difficult, even if there’s an interdimensional portal. However, there’s one particular situation that would be a problem if it were to occur.]
[Ming Fei: What you’re trying to say is that there has been a similar occurrence in the past? After they’ve invaded his world, they gradually incorporate the energy of the other world into the world to reduce the rejection?]
(Tian Fozi: Exactly. Group admin, have they come to your world before? Or this is the first time?]
(Jiang Ming: They’ve come to my world before. The Sky Devil appeared in our world and established the Sky Devil Sect.]
[Tian Fozi: That would be a problem! If they’ve set up a sect in your world, the rejection will be close to none when they come to your world through the portal again. If the portal has stabilized, I’m afraid more and more of them will be coming. Group admin, I have something that might be useful in driving them off. Do you need it? Oh yeah, the most important thing you need to do right now is to find the portal and destroy it. Once the portal is destroyed, it will be tough for them to create a new one.]
[Ming Fei: Group admin, I forgot to ask, is it a passage opened based on the coordinates, or is it a gate that is established directly?]
[Jiang Ming: Is there any difference between the two?]
[Ming Fei: Of course, there is! If it’s the former, it needs to be maintained at all times, and every time it transports a living being, it needs to consume a huge amount of energy. However, if it’s an interdimensional portal, it means a stable passageway has been established. It’s the same as crossing from one door to another, but the other world will reject one after crossing the gate.] (Tian Fozi: It requires a rare special item to create an interdimensional portal, not to mention that it takes a huge amount of mana to activate it. Group admin, don’t care if it’s a temporary passageway or a portal. What you should do right now is that you need to find the portal and destroy it. All of us here are ready to help.)
[Ming Fei: I have plenty of light scrolls and light divine weapons with me right now!)
[Zhan Ge: I’m ready to help.]
[Ao Jiu: Me too!]
[Zi Lei: Count me in!]
(Luo Heng: Brother Jiang, I’ve prepared a team of Level 10 spaceships. Robots pilot them so they can fly themselves!) [Ye Qingxian: Brother Jiang, just let me know if you need anything!)
[Dongfang Chenxi: Brother Jiang, I’ve sent a team of Level 10 Combat Mannequins to you. I’ll send you more afterward! I want to let those people know the consequences of attacking your world!)
(Jiang Ming: Thank you so much, guys!)
(Jiang Ming: Chenxi, don’t! As the group admin, if I can’t even defend against an invasion like this, I will only be bringing disgrace to you all and the Supreme Pagoda. Don’t worry. As long as there aren’t any Level 10 to Level 12 experts, I will be fine.]
[Zhan Ge: You have a point. If even our group admin can’t ward off the invasion, no one can.)
[Ming Fei: In any case, I’ll be here. Just let me know if you need any help, group admin!]
Jiang Ming returned to reality, and a smile broke across his face.
There was nothing he should be afraid of since so many people supported him.
‘Don’t give me a reason to get mad!’
Jiang Ming looked toward the land in the far north and heaved out a sigh of relief.
