Chapter 419: Chapter 291 Golden Wall Abyss, Infinite Merit_2

Although the seal temporarily prevented Zhao Sheng’s Divine Sense from penetrating the time-space rift,

the records show that this rift is roughly three miles long, and the amount of “Spiritual Energy” from the Otherworld leaking through the seal’s flaws each day is equivalent to the dispersal from a large Fourth Order Spiritual Vein.

As a result, the Heavenly Burial Plain has been unable to recover for nearly ten thousand years, turning its vast territories into a paradise for zombie demon ghosts.

However, after years of relentless eradication akin to sweeping clean one’s own courtyard, the majority of the corpse ghosts in the Heavenly Burial Plain have been reduced to ashes and scattered bones.

...

After watching for a long time, Zhao Sheng slowly withdrew his gaze.

At this moment, a tall figure clad in full armor approached him and said in a deep voice, “Brother Zhao, after watching for so long, have you not yet decided in your heart?”

Zhao Sheng turned to look at the armored man, shook his head slightly, and declined, “The Zhao Family’s foundation is shallow, far inferior to your Dong family. The Infinite Merit Plan is indeed excellent, but I am unwilling to gamble with the lives of my clan members.”

“Brother Zhao, it is said that fortune favors the bold! If the Infinite Merit Plan succeeds, the benefits we gain are simply immeasurable. Think about the merits and immense wealth of conquering a world!

Don’t you want to advance to Nascent Soul, even to Divinity Transformation? Don’t you want to see the Xinglong Zhao Family become a super clan spanning two worlds?” the armored man tempted him one after another.

The armored man’s name was Dong Bichen, a commander of the Daoist Soldier Corps of the Weaver Dong Family, with cultivation at the Late-stage Golden Core.

Because the two families were related by marriage, Dong Bichen took the initiative to seek out Zhao Sheng yesterday, persuading him to join a grand plan known as the Infinite Merit Plan.

Zhao Sheng had heard about the Infinite Merit Plan earlier. Although its name suggests boundless merit, it is essentially a counterattack plan against the invasion of the Netherworld Ghost Realm.

Indeed! Some factions were very optimistic, and before the war even began, they had already started plotting a counterassault on another world.

With the backing of several Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, the Infinite Merit Plan was successfully launched and swiftly accepted by numerous ambitious factions, who eagerly participated.

The Dong Family was just one of them, and their strength was not top-notch since the Ten Great Sects of the Central Continent had all joined as well.

To carve out a larger share of the spoils, the Weaver Dong Family mobilized their millennial connections, trying their utmost to draw in their in-laws.

With a Nascent Soul Ancestor presiding, the Xinglong Zhao Family was highly valued by the Dong Family.

At this time, Zhao Sheng, as a “son-in-law,” was undoubtedly the best candidate to persuade.

To tell the truth, Zhao Sheng was occasionally very tempted by Dong Bichen’s words.

But after much consideration, he ultimately held back because, fundamentally, Zhao Sheng did not have faith in this plan.

Zhao Sheng’s refusal meant the Dong Family’s wishful planning came to nought.

Dong Bichen unwillingly persuaded him for a while, but Zhao Sheng politely declined throughout.

In the end, he left feeling dejected.

…

Without actually being on the Heavenly Burial Plain, one cannot imagine the astonishing power that erupts when the forces of most of the Central Continent unite.

Around that time-space rift, the Sect Alliance built not one, but three Golden Walls, encircling the rift within them.

Each Great Wall was a hundred zhang high, with the outer walls as solid as Jingang, covered in various defense and killing formations; inside, countless stone rooms were constructed for the stationed Daoist soldiers and cultivators.

The innermost of the Second Ring Golden Walls, spanning over five hundred miles, was undoubtedly the most painstakingly built by the alliance, fitted with numerous Big Killers, and the elite Taoist soldier corps of various major sects were garrisoned there.

At the same time, it harbored the most high-level combat power among the three Golden Walls, where Foundation Establishment cultivators are as common as dogs, Golden Cores roam everywhere, and only Nascent Souls can strut with pride.

The Xinglong Zhao Family’s army was not stationed here but had withdrawn to the Second Ring Golden Wall.

As for the third ring, in a word, it serves as the last line of defense and the logistics and supply distribution center.

There are only a little over two hundred miles between the first and second walls, and the territory in between is scattered with numerous Prohibitions, with many factions garrisoned throughout.

Most of these factions were not weak but lacked backing.

On the surface, they were said to participate in defensive rotations, but in reality, they were cannon fodder.

The task of the “troops” stationed on the Second Ring Great Wall included overseeing these cannon fodders, making sure they did not flee in panic.

That the Xinglong Zhao family received such “favorable treatment” is, of course, inseparable from the renown of Zhao Xuanjing.

Naturally, two giants stood behind the Zhao Family—one was the Beggar Immortal, and the other was the Weaver Dong Family.

The Xinglong Dao Soldiers covered an area of a hundred miles, so as soon as they were stationed, the entire corps began to familiarize themselves with the various formations and magic artifacts on the city walls, carefully divided their defensive sectors, established good relations with “allied forces,” and vied for more Spirit Stone resources.

In the first two months, one could say they were extremely busy.

It’s worth mentioning that, perhaps out of respect for the two Nascent Souls, or because the Zhao Clan members were very competitive, besides the necessary supply of talisman and elixir, each soldier actually received a portion of Spirit Stone salary.

Even though the Innate Taoist Soldiers only received one Spirit Stone as monthly pay, compared to the five given to the Qi Refining Clan Members, such treatment was enjoyed by fewer than ten factions across the entire Second Ring Great Wall.

As for the cannon fodders below the wall, they simply brought their own provisions, unable to grasp even a hair in benefits.

Of course, the Sect Alliance was not so naive as to make such enraging moves.

To motivate the various factions, the alliance released quite a few “heavy incentives.”

One was the lifting of knowledge monopolies, proactively releasing a vast array of high-level Techniques and plenty of high-level information about Alchemy, talisman making, Artifact Refining, Beast Taming, Formation, etc., from the Hundred Skills of Immortal Cultivation for factions to exchange.
