My Augmented Statuses Have Unlimited Duration

Chapter 374: Six Million Souls

After sending all the injured people back to the headquarters of the Great Mountain Alliance, he took out a large number of healing pills from his inventory without holding back and distributed a few to everyone.

It was enough for them to heal themselves.

Then, he had to do things like rewarding the survivors and handing out death compensation.

Fortunately, their headquarters was located in the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm.

The production of this huge mystic realm had always been very rich during this period of time. It was completely enough to support their expenditure.

After a calamity-like battle, there were still many things that needed to be dealt with, such as staff placement, array formation repair, and so on.

Only this way could the Great Mountain Region be more united and not immediately become dissociated after the battle and catch their breath in the shortest time.

Of course, Jiang Li naturally did not need to worry about these trivial matters.

“Jiang Li, was that someone from the Cloud Manor on the Cloud Palace earlier?”

“You brought them here?”

“Why would the people from the Cloud Manor help us like this?”

In the Great Mountain Conference Hall, the people-in-charge of the three major sects of the Great Mountain Region had yet to treat their injuries when they pulled Jiang Li here.

They had too many questions that Jiang Li needed to answer. The sudden miracle still made them in disbelief.

Their greatest doubt was still the Cloud Manor that had unleashed the lightning capable of scaring away the Myriad Slaughter Sect. Why did such a force that had finally reached the peak of the cultivation world appear here?

If they could not understand why, they would not be able to eat and sleep in peace.

Jiang Li did not intend to hide it from them, and he explained after asking them to calm down.

“They are indeed from the Cloud Manor, one of the three divine pillars of the Divine Judgment Hall. They are not interested in the Medicine Garden Mystic Realm and do not need us to pay a higher price. Please don’t worry.”

Jiang Li knew that although they did not say it out loud, they were most afraid that the Cloud Manor that had inexplicably appeared also had ill intentions.

If the tiger they invited chased away the wolf and swallowed them, they would be happy for nothing.

After Jiang Li made it clear, they felt a little more at ease.

“The reason why the Great Mountain Alliance could join the Divine Judgment Hall in a short period of time and obtain the help of the Cloud Manor is because I handed them information about the Armored Trolls.”

“Because that piece of information was too important, it filled the last gap of 180,000 merit points.”

Jiang Li casually handed the Mad Blood Talisman Lightning to the three of them.

Just like the cultivators of the Cloud Manor, even if Jiang Li did not say it, they would not be able to see through it.

“What… What information is this? It’s actually worth 180,000 merit points.”

“No, the value of this small talisman lightning should be far above 180,000 merit points.”

“If it’s a normal accumulation of merit points, even if they reach a million merit points, they still have to go through a series of checks by the Divine Judgment Hall. Some sects without any backers can drag it out for more than half a year.”

“If that’s the case, when the Great Mountain Alliance joins the Divine Judgment Hall, our Great Mountain Region will no longer exist.”

“Furthermore, the Cloud Manor, one of the three divine pillars, can actually personally step forward…”

The three of them stopped here. Clearly, they already knew that the information was definitely very important.

If Jiang Li was troubled, they were naturally unwilling to force him.

Jiang Li saw through their thoughts and explained himself.

“There’s nothing to hide. Since the information has already been submitted to the Divine Judgment Hall, this matter will spread sooner or later.”

“However, before the news becomes widespread, let’s just keep it a secret.”

“This information is actually just luck.”

Jiang Li repeated what he had said to the Cloud Manor.

The three of them clicked their tongues in wonder when they heard this. No one expected that the body materials of one of the two races that harbored malice towards the humans would actually restrain the other party so much.

“If that’s the case, should we focus on developing the original Hundred Tempering Mountain ruins?”

“There are still some aberrations in the underground cave there. Perhaps we can extract some blood of madness from them.”

“On that mountain, every piece of land and rock has the aura of an Asura creature.”

“If we spread the stone materials on the mountain around the front line battlefield, it might affect the Trolls.”

After knowing the “180,000 merit points” worth of information, the three of them immediately had some thoughts.

Others did not know about this yet. Perhaps they could seize some benefits in advance before the news spread.

“It’s a pity about the Rock Mountain Range. If we can obtain it before the information is sent out, even if we only sell admission tickets and let the people of the other sects hunt, we can still obtain a considerable amount of benefits.”

In the entire Eastern Region, any sect with decent strength would guard against the Armored Trolls with much difficulty.

The blood of madness was a necessity. Once the news spread, everyone would need it.

The Scripture Storage Valley’s Valley Master, Daoist Wushe, was the best at management among the three. He was the first to think of this.

However, in his opinion, they could not take down the huge profit. They could only think of using this in their own territory.

However, Jiang Li did not think so.

“It’s just a pity now. There’s no need to be so anxious.”

“Didn’t the Cloud Manor say that the remaining cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range have already joined our Great Mountain Alliance?”

“Now that the people of the Myriad Slaughter Sect have given up on the Rock Mountain Range, that region that is not inferior to the Great Mountain Region belongs to us now.”

“Moreover, I’ve already reached an agreement with the Cloud Manor. In the future, the Great Mountain Alliance and the Cloud Manor will develop the Rock Mountain Range together.”

As soon as Jiang Li said this, the eyes of the three people lit up.

If not for the information about the blood of madness subduing the Armored Trolls, the Rock Mountain Range that was invaded by the Blood Fighting Arena would undoubtedly be a mess to deal with.

It was the kind that even the Myriad Slaughter Sect could not withstand.

However, after Jiang Li submitted that information, it would become a hot item that everyone wanted to fight for.

After the Divine Judgment Hall publicized the information, almost all the forces in the entire Eastern Region would need a large amount of blood of madness.

At that time, it would be best to sell the finished product after they developed it or collect a ticket and let outsiders come in to hunt on their own.

The only place that produced the blood of madness was the Rock Mountain Range.

Of course, if it was only the Great Mountain Alliance, they would definitely be unable to protect this huge sum of profits. If they forcefully claimed it, they would only end up worse than before.

However, the mysterious and powerful Cloud Manor chose to cooperate with them. At the very least, not many factions in the Eastern Region would have the guts to snatch profits from the Divine Judgment Hall’s divine pillar.

The Great Mountain Alliance did not need much. As long as they could obtain a small portion of the benefits, it would allow the cultivation world of the Great Mountain Region to soar.

He wondered how the Myriad Slaughter Sect would feel when they received this news.

Their decision to give up on defending the Rock Mountain Range not only caused them to be punished by the Divine Judgment Hall, but they were also reduced to a low-grade Divine Judgment faction.

They had even lost such a huge opportunity for nothing. They had definitely suffered a double loss.

Of course, if the other party continued to stay in the Rock Mountain Range and did not attack the Great Mountain Region, Jiang Li would not reveal this information.

They did not have the chance to encounter such a good thing.

Hearing Jiang Li’s words, the Valley Master and the other two were also very excited. After surviving the calamity, good things were finally coming.

Not only had Jiang Li’s return resolved the crisis, but he had also brought such good news to the Great Mountain Region.

The appointment of this Great Mountain Alliance Leader was really the best choice they made.

The little willfulness of the three of them back then had pushed Jiang Li to this high position. They did not expect that this decision was very likely the best decision they had made in their lives.

Moreover, how long had it been since they last saw this kid?

The aura on Jiang Li’s body improved greatly again.

When he had just come out, he had even sent a Soul Formation cultivator of the Myriad Slaughter Sect flying. Although they did not know how he had done it, Jiang Li was probably not inferior to them now.

So the question was, which Immortal God did Jiang Li reincarnate from?

They no longer suspected Jiang Li of being the reincarnation of an Immortal God. They were now thinking about whose reincarnation he was.

After chatting with the three of them for a long time, Jiang Li left the meeting room.

Previously, when he received the invitation of the Cloud Manor’s Rainbow Cloud Servant, he indeed planned to go to the place that was said to be a “paradise” and wanted to see the great figure standing at the peak of the Eastern Region.

However, at that moment, the Divine Statue clone sent him an emergency request for help.

The matter of going to the Cloud Manor could only be pushed back temporarily.

With their help, he rushed back to the Great Mountain Region in the shortest time and stopped the war.

The cooperation that Jiang Li mentioned earlier was true.

After repeatedly verifying the effects of the blood of madness, they readily agreed to these small requests.

In fact, the distribution of benefits was far greater than Jiang Li had expected. At the level of the Cloud Manor, they indeed did not care about this small sum.

In addition, although it was said to be a cooperation, the Cloud Manor was responsible for dealing with the troublesome high-level Asura. The Great Mountain Alliance only needed to be responsible for the simplest logistics work.

They had given the Great Mountain Alliance a money tree for nothing.

With the protection of the Cloud Manor, the safety of the Great Mountain Alliance was temporarily not a problem. Jiang Li, who had been racing against time, could finally heave a sigh of relief.

Along the way, the headquarters were filled with some lightly injured Great Mountain Alliance disciples on duty.

When they saw Jiang Li, they bowed respectfully, and their eyes were filled with worship.

Amongst them were many senior brothers and sisters that Jiang Li knew. However, even if he did not mind, they did not dare to treat him as an ordinary senior brother anymore.

When he returned to his Alliance Leader’s courtyard, this courtyard was luxurious and elegant. It was fully equipped and was one of the most luxurious courtyards.

However, he had not stayed here for a few days since the courtyard was built.

Inside, the table and some furniture were already covered in a layer of dust. Clearly, no one had been here for a long time.

Below his courtyard was directly connected to the headquarters of the Hidden Rock cultivators. It was a top secret zone.

Unless they had his permission, no one could enter. They could only temporarily make do with the cleaning.

“Alliance Leader.”

Jiang Li gestured in the room, and two figures flashed to his front. They were one of the few Nascent Soul cultivators among the Hidden Rock cultivators, and they were also loyal to Jiang Li.

They were also injured. This battle had caused Jiang Li’s Hidden Rock cultivators to suffer considerable losses.

“When the Myriad Slaughter Sect entered the Great Mountain Region, they had once slaughtered several human countries. What’s the situation now?” Jiang Li asked something that no one cared about.

“Together with the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn, we’ve mobilized 4,000 Qi Refinement realm disciples and used a large number of low-level demons to assist.”

“We’ve already completed the collection of souls. More than 90% of the souls of the dead mortals are captured.”

“The total number of souls absorbed has reached 6.33 million. Currently, these souls are stored in the storeroom below.”

The Qi Refinement realm disciples and the small demons who had not even reached the Qi Refinement realm were not of any help in this war.

However, as long as they did their job well, they could also achieve great things.

Low-level Qi Refinement realm disciples and the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn were unable to stop the Myriad Slaughter Sect from slaughtering the citizens of the Great Mountain Region. They were also unable to participate in the battle.

They could only use their advantage in numbers to gather a large number of human souls after these butchers passed through.

Several human countries were destroyed. If they were not dealt with in seven days, it would develop into a very troublesome Yin land.

At that time, not a single blade of grass would grow, and mortals would be unable to continue reproducing on that land.

Over time, powerful ghosts might even appear and affect the Great Mountain Region in the long term.

Now, more than 90% of these souls were gathered by the Prosperous Jiang Hong Inn. Although their actions and methods were not righteous, the result was still good.

That place would no longer be polluted. If some refugees were moved over, they could slowly recover their vitality after dozens or hundreds of years.

These ghosts would not dissipate for nothing in seven days. In Jiang Li’s coffin, they would obtain the best spiritual qi and Yin qi nourishment. One day, they might be able to take revenge.

There were 6.33 million of them. Not all of their souls had been retrieved. The exact number of casualties would only be above this number.

There were also the cultivators who died in the Great Mountain Alliance. Jiang Li would have to repay this heavy karma debt sooner or later.

He specially requested the Cloud Manor to give him ten years to exact revenge.

Ten years was too short for ordinary cultivators or sects.

It was almost impossible for the entire Great Mountain Region to catch up to the Myriad Slaughter Sect.

However, to Jiang Li, it had taken less than two years for him to grow from a mere mortal.

In ten years, he was confident that he could take revenge on the Myriad Slaughter Sect ten times or a hundred times over.

Wasn’t it just an Earth Immortal? He was only three realms away from that. He could even become the strongest before that time arrived.

After throwing out the Yin Burial Coffin, the coffin lid opened automatically.

Box after box of ghosts were transported out of the storeroom and thrown in.

In the coffin space, every box opened, and a dark cloud surged out.

They floated aimlessly in the coffin before being absorbed by the Yin Burial Ghost Cloud.

After a round of fusion, the range of the ghost cloud directly increased to four times its original size.

In the coffin space, the spiritual qi that was originally extremely dense began to form spiritual qi streams on the ground.

It was greedily absorbed by these new ghosts.

Jiang Li had never absorbed so many souls in one go.

To nurture these six million souls into useful ghost soldiers, the expenditure was definitely enough to make a medium-sized Divine Judgment faction cry.

However, Jiang Li was not stingy. After this wave of monsters was nurtured, his number of ghost soldiers began to approach ten million.

Back then, a million ghost soldiers had allowed his Yin Burial Coffin to rise from the Profound-rank to the Earth-rank. It was unknown if ten million could trigger a new change..
