The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1384 - 1397: Evil King Pursues His Wife (16)

Chapter 1384: Chapter 1397: Evil King Pursues His Wife (16)

Jiang Chao had ascended for thousands of years and had long established his own sphere of influence in the Upper Realm.

Worried about the sects in the Lower Realm, he mobilized all his networks, rallying other sects with affiliated sects in the Lower Realm, using all their power and consuming many Heavenly Treasures to repair the Heavenly Ladder in the shortest time possible.

But even this shortest time took over a hundred years.

No matter how anxious Jiang Chao was, there was nothing he could do.

During these hundred years, Jiang Chao never ceased trying to contact the disciples of the Lower Realm sects, but not once was he successful.

As soon as the Heavenly Ladder was repaired, the Spiritual Energy Groups from the Upper Realm surged towards the Lower Realm as if in a frenzy.

It was as if the Shen Zhou Continent of the Lower Realm was like a traveler walking in the desert, parched for a long time and suddenly getting a drink, indulging with no restraint.

In the area where the Heavenly Ladder stood in the Upper Realm, the Spiritual Energy quickly became depleted, so more distant Spiritual Energy Groups were drawn in.

In just a few breaths, all the Immortals witnessing the repair of the Heavenly Ladder immediately felt discomfort all over their bodies, stemming from a lack of Spiritual Energy.

Such a strange phenomenon quickly drew significant attention from the Immortals.

Jiang Chao was the first to act, severing the connection that allowed the Lower Realm to absorb Spiritual Energy, which made the other Immortals present feel somewhat better.

Jiang Chao had a gloomy expression, confirming again that something must have happened to the Lower Realm, and it was no small matter.

He split off a Mahayana Venerable level avatar, who immediately stepped into the Heavenly Ladder, eager to explore what had happened in the Lower Realm.

When Jiang Chao reached the Lower Realm, he was dumbfounded.

The entire Shen Zhou Continent had turned into a land devoid of Spiritual Energy, and his Mahayana Realm cultivation was rapidly regressing. In a short time, he became an ordinary person with no spiritual power cultivation whatsoever.

A cultivator without Spiritual Energy is like a fish out of water, but Jiang Chao, after all, was not an ordinary cultivator, having reached the status of Immortal Emperor. He could still walk the continent as an ordinary person.

But, who could tell him what exactly had happened to the Shen Zhou Continent to make it so strange?

With heavy footsteps, Jiang Chao quickly grabbed a passerby and asked, "Do you know how to get to the Beast Taming Sect?"

The changes to the Shen Zhou Continent were so great that he had no way to discern where the Beast Taming Sect was located.

According to the map in his mind, where he was standing should have belonged to the Beast Taming Sect’s area, but where was the entrance to the sect? In fact, everyone walking on the road was an ordinary mortal; he hadn’t seen a single cultivator, not even those with the lowest cultivation.

The unease in Jiang Chao’s heart grew larger and larger, causing his expression to be stern and his tone unreasonable.

"Who are you? Here’s a suggestion, change your tone and try again...."

The young man Jiang Chao grabbed sized him up and down with annoyance and suggested.

In Jiang Chao’s eyes, ordinary mortals were like ants that could be easily crushed, and he had never been offended by a mortal like this before.

Jiang Chao’s expression changed immediately, his fierce eyes scanning over the young man, "What are you...."

Before Jiang Chao could finish, the young man cut him off with a gesture, stopping his rising momentum, "Stop there, another suggestion, you’d better change that look in your eyes, or I’ll report you to the security team, suspecting you have bad intentions towards me...."

Jiang Chao couldn’t understand what was happening; he had given a lowly mortal a cold look and was taken away by some damn security team for education.

"Another relic of the cultivators...." Jiang Chao heard someone murmur softly.

He immediately pursued the question: "What do you mean by this?"

"It’s been years; Spiritual Energy has long disappeared; there are no cultivators on the entire Shen Zhou Continent anymore.... Besides, with the advancement of technology now, things that used to require painstaking cultivation can now be done by the most ordinary person. Isn’t that better than before?"

"I’ve heard that the Su Family Manor has developed a new technology that can break through Boundary Stones...."

"Ah.... Doesn’t that mean we ordinary people still have hope to reach the Upper Realm and take a look? I heard it’s where the Immortals live; I wonder if it’s better or worse there than here."

"The Su Family people are really amazing. It was said that this idea was proposed by Ninth Young Master Su.... Miss Su is no less impressive...."

"Whether it’s the men or women from the Su Family, they’re all incredibly capable.... Our current good life is truly thanks to their contributions...."

...

The conversation slowly veered off topic, but Jiang Chao’s heart was in turmoil, finding it all very absurd.

Break through the Boundary Stone?

Were they implying that ordinary mortals could reach the effects of ascension by exploiting certain conditions without cultivation?

What a bright daylight dream they were having.

Jiang Chao didn’t believe a single word.

"Next, let’s welcome the representative of the Su Family Manor, Ninth Young Master Su, to give us an explanation...."

The sudden voice startled Jiang Chao; he looked up sharply and realized that the wall before him had suddenly lit up, and a group of people appeared on it.

The scene looked like the imaging stone he used but was more advanced.

The people around him said what was being projected on the wall seemed to be live.

How did they do it? He did not sense any Spiritual Power fluctuations.

That Ninth Young Master Su briefly introduced the project to break through the Boundary Stone, hoping to reach the Upper Realm, and called for volunteers across the continent.

He seemed very confident about his project, while Jiang Chao felt truly troubled.

It was like humans listening to a group of ants planning to overrun their home.

Ridiculous yet somewhat worrying.

After all.... the phenomena he saw and heard before him overturned everything he knew.

If mortals could traverse heaven and earth, going to the Immortal Realm seemed not particularly strange.

Oh please, how could he think that way....

Despite feeling it was impossible, Jiang Chao couldn’t sit still any longer, no longer interested in finding the Beast Taming Sect; he just wanted to return to the Upper Realm.

Compared to the disappearance of the cultivators on the Shen Zhou Continent, addressing matters in the Upper Realm was more important.

When the avatar returned to the main body, everything it had seen and heard in the Lower Realm imprinted in Jiang Chao’s mind.

His mind was muddled, digesting the new information; he hadn’t even had time to share it with his Immortal friends when he heard a loud boom beneath the Heavenly Ladder, and the recently repaired Heavenly Ladder was destroyed.

Almost all the Immortals were furious and exceedingly angry.

After the blast, a giant hole was torn open at the Boundary Stone by the Heavenly Ladder, and a bizarrely shaped metal ship appeared before the Immortals.
