Chapter 684: 0423 The Great Pioneering (Seeking monthly tickets and subscriptions)

In the square.

The [Life and Death Two Vastness] barrier faded, gradually returning to normal, with lingering death qi persisting.

After a brief silence, the grandmasters snapped out of the one shot from earlier, contemplating its mysteries.

Some with narrower vision were already dazzled by the various Dao techniques demonstrated by Lu Chenzhou.

"What kind of Dao is he exactly?"

"Is it the world, life and death? Or the passage of time?"

Only those with higher cultivation could realize that Lu Chenzhou’s essence was the World Dao, but he might have an exceptionally strong learning ability, allowing him to simulate and comprehend all sorts of truths in this world through the World Dao.

One grandmaster’s palm revealed a gray sphere.

"I’ve also learned the [Life and Death Talisman], but why didn’t I think of applying the life and death Dao to fist technique? Young people indeed have nimble minds."

"No wonder he’s Wanxiang Dao’s top genius, this pioneering spirit is worth learning from."

"Observing the battle between Sword Embracing Tiger and Lu Chenzhou has been very rewarding, even though I didn’t make it to the small realm, it was worthwhile."

Now, regarding the strength comparison between Bao Hu Saber and Lu Chenzhou, many grandmasters have made their judgments.

One can only withstand five hundred moves.

One suppressed Wei Fenghua throughout.

The result is self-evident.

Finally, the five grandmaster slots for this exploration were decided: Lu Chenzhou, Sword Embracing Tiger, Li Dalong, Chen Tang, Wang Xian.

Li Dalong, End Realm cultivation, specializes in Dragon Form Fist and Stick Technique. Chen Tang, End Realm cultivation, Mantis Fist grandmaster, specializes in Saber Technique.

In the crowd, Li Ao looked at his friend Wang Xian, feeling quite emotional; this martial arts genius that he had overshadowed for decades had officially surpassed him today.

He didn’t know what kind of opportunity Wang Xian had gained, surely related to Lu Chenzhou. Under the sect system, when one person attains the Dao, everyone benefits, as it has always been.

Martial arts practice, first depends on talent, second on luck. Suddenly having an astoundingly capable junior brother, that’s luck.

Li Jin said:

"Details of today’s trial selection battles should not be spread. The Demon Palace is intensifying assassinations of human geniuses, even using Demon Emperor death soldiers, be cautious."

Du Meng, considered a wake-up call for the world. As an unparalleled genius, it’s best to keep something in reserve. If all cards are revealed to the Demon Race, they’d tailor their tactics, and no genius can withstand repeated torment.

Eliminated grandmasters left the scene.

Lin Xia ranked 8th, she looked at Wang Xian and Lu Chenzhou, smiling, "Good luck, brothers. See you in five years, your sister will be waiting in the human world for your return."

She still felt a bit regretful, compared to other Daoistic traditions, the merged Wanxiang Dao was obviously more intense, in past years, with her strength, she’d easily be in the top five.

Lu Chenzhou hugged Lin Xia with his broad arms.

Wang Xian also joined in, bidding farewell to the sister.

Seeing the junior brothers somewhat downcast, Lin Xia laughed, "It’s also a good thing, with us all gone, who will accompany master, he’s rather lonely out there."

...

Three days later.

The selection for the master and major groups was completed, compared to grandmasters, these two groups recruited many people, not demanding high talent, mainly serving as the base force against the Demon Race, one hundred masters, a thousand majors.

The amount of war groups values essence over quantity. Moreover, the Wanbang Council won’t put all eggs in one basket. Most geniuses will continue to develop and grow in the human world.

Altogether 27 war groups, nearly thirty thousand martial arts backbone forces, 135 grandmasters, 27 great grandmasters, under the escort of each Daoistic tradition’s Martial Arts Kings, headed to the Mining Realm.

At this time, the entrance to the Mining Realm was held by the Wanbang Martial Arts Council. Initially, the Demon Palace would occasionally dispatch some Demon Emperors to harass, attempting to reclaim the entrance.

Lately, within a thousand miles, all Demon King forces, with or without names, have withdrawn. On one hand, many Demon Emperors in the Demon Palace used "Demon God Avatar", losing a lot of vitality. On the other hand, it’s due to the "Seven Peak Under the King" from the West, [Grand Duke of Black Prison] breaking through seven.

This figure, taking advantage of no Demon Venerable in the human world, launched a sweep against most Western Demon Emperor forces.

At this moment, how could the Demon Palace dare show themselves?

On this day.

At the open space near the Mining Realm entrance, 27 war groups lined up neatly, Lu Chenzhou stood beside Wei Fenghua, with the Shaolin Daoistic tradition’s Songshan Martial Academy formation nearby.

Leading them was Tuo Tian Head Monk.

The monk appeared in a spiritually exhausted state, clearly due to an intense period of Heart Sutra practice, he had taken a Heavenly Realm Sword Immortal from Hanhai Sect as his master, namely Long Yue’s mentor.

Beside the monk, were also familiar faces.

Zhen Ding, champion of the Heavenly Path Cup, an unparalleled genius alongside Continental Lu Chenzhou, now holding End Realm cultivation, even though Wang Xian obtained a Heavenly Grade opportunity, he still paled in comparison.

Mingxin, who is as famous as Lufang, has reached the End Realm cultivation, mastering both inner and outer cultivation as a Grandmaster. Because of their close relationship, Lu Chenzhou often exchanges horizontal training insights with Mingxin, learning that he is also studying the Horizontal Training Divine Skill and plans to integrate Buddhist Hard Qi Gong to create the legendary "Vajra Undying Divine Skill"!

Compared to the "Flowing Water Style," Mingxin aims for the ultimate in the hard-core style, transforming into "Shaolin’s Eighteen Bronze Men."

The formations of other Daoist traditions are also composed of Grandmasters accumulated over centuries by various schools. There are even formidable ones like the Sword Embracing Tiger who can hard clash with a Great Grandmaster. In contrast, young geniuses like Hong Tianxiang have not passed the selection due to insufficient strength, disadvantaged by their young age.

Throughout the entire venue, among the young geniuses of Lu Chenzhou’s generation, only he is under 40 years old.

He looked towards the Po Suo formation but did not see the figure of Di Jialou, wondering if he truly has fallen.

Buzz!

A colossal figure, as grand as mountains and seas, tore through the void, descending with boundless destructive phenomena.

After the civil war, the momentum of the Northern Guardian King became even closer to the Absolute Peak, like a treasured blade about to be unsheathed.

"This time the land reclamation will be conducted in units of war groups; the more demon race forces eliminated, the more mining veins discovered, the greater the merit. Internal conflicts within mining fields are prohibited. If two war groups simultaneously discover a mining field, ownership can be decided through friendly competition..."

After finishing his address, the Northern Guardian King reiterated: "This land reclamation is not a game; it is a war between us and the demon race, concerning the direction of civilization in the next stage. You all are the crème de la crème selected by your Daoist traditions. Your words and deeds represent the face of the Daoist tradition. I do not wish to see betrayals, cowardice, or actions unworthy of the martial arts spirit. Remember, human civilization now has only two choices: first is to fight with all your might for a chance at survival, even if it means nine deaths with no regrets. Second is to live in cowardice, waiting for the end of the world."

The Northern Guardian King drew out a long saber, slashing towards the void ahead with the "Radiant Sky-Swapping Seven-Day Saber." As the saber light fell, it seemed as though invisible hands plunged into the void, and a pitch-black deep door appeared in the wilderness.

"I declare the great land reclamation begins!"

Team after team marched in triumphantly.

Once all the teams disappeared, two figures descended from the sky, one being the Old Ghost of the Yellow River, and the other being the Rising Sun from the East.

As if guardians of the gates, the two peak Heavenly Kings watched over the entry, preventing any collusion between internal and external forces of the demon race against the land reclamation.

...

Meanwhile.

Silver Eagle Federation.

Heavenly King experts were holding a meeting.

The Great Duke of the Black Prison had solidified his realm, and according to previous agreements, those at the Absolute Peak cannot remain in the human world for more than a year.

A Silver Eagle Heavenly King before him looked displeased, "This Wanbang Council is truly overbearing, rejecting our joint land reclamation request again. Are ten Heavenly Treasures still not enough? It’s too greedy, and too much bullying."

The higher-ups of the Northern Alliance and the Silver Eagle Federation, watching as the Wanbang Council began mining the Primordial Ore, felt uneasy. Some wanted to apply for joining Wanbang, while others proposed bartering for access. Unfortunately, all requests were denied by the Wanbang Council.

The Great Duke of the Black Prison glanced at him. "I already said before that the unification of humanity is the general trend; it’s just a pity..."

He supported Silver Eagle’s entrance into the council; however, at the time, a major portion of the dozens of Silver Eagle’s Heavenly Kings objected.

"The situation is different now. Who could have thought that the Mining Realm would appear on Da Xia soil? Grand Duke, could you personally make a trip to negotiate on our behalf? Without Primordial Ore, in the upcoming era, we’d fall behind the Wanbang Council in all aspects and be subjected to their control." ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Other Heavenly Kings also chimed in.

"Yes, Grand Duke, you are the sole Absolute Peak in the human realm. Even though the Eternal Immortal is in seclusion, we could be a bit more assertive, and I’m sure the Wanbang Council wouldn’t reject us."

"That’s right."

"These resources should be shared by humanity. After all, during the New Heaven Creation plan, our federation’s Absolute Peak experts contributed significantly. We can’t be abandoned!"

At this point, the Silver Eagle Heavenly King was truly panicked; he was not afraid of suffering himself but feared others living in comfort.

The Great Duke of the Black Prison coldly scanned the circle of these Heavenly Kings. "I am not going; anyone who wants to can go."

It’s ridiculous. Although the Eternal Immortal is in seclusion, he is still in the human world. He might have even successfully broken through the Eighth barrier and is merely staying behind the scenes, quietly observing.

Let him stick his neck out?

What a joke.

After all, if he were to venture into the Three Thousand Worlds to find opportunities, how the Silver Eagle Federation subsequently fares would not concern him. These people are just incorrigible.

The Great Duke of the Black Prison’s form vanished.

At the corner of the round table, the Merfolk Emperor·Rees, who was only a step away from the Absolute Peak, eyes filled with coldness.

Recently, he personally sought out the Northern Guardian King for negotiations, only to be turned away. Originally, he placed his hopes on the Great Duke of the Black Prison, which now seemed dashed. He didn’t have a strong attachment to the Silver Eagle Federation, but he himself required a large amount of Middle Grade Primordial Ore to assist in his Breakthrough Seven. Reflecting on a promise made to him by a certain entity some time ago, he felt that perhaps he had only this path left to follow.

...

Million Mountains.

Demon Palace.

Numerous Demon Emperors watched with bloodthirsty smiles.

"Very well, over a hundred potential Grandmasters, tens of thousands of Martial Artists, and 27 Great Grandmasters—if we could keep these individuals in the mines, human civilization would essentially be severing an arm, with what would they fight us?"

"As expected, Lu Chenzhou has also entered. According to spy intelligence, his cultivation should be in the Middle Realm Grandmaster stage, uncertain if at the End Realm. Considering his uniqueness, for the upcoming grand reclamation, an Early Stage Great Demon King should cooperate to hunt him down. Mid and Late Stage Great Demon Kings, if they encounter him, should kill him directly. As for the Demon God Avatars hidden within the Demon Kings, do not act for the time being. If the previous assassination attempts fail, when Lu Chenzhou becomes complacent, provoke him with the body of a Demon King, and then unexpectedly utilize the might of our Avatars to obliterate him with thunderous means in an instant!"
