Chapter 1926: All Departments Gather, A Shocking Moment!
'Conversely...'
If this matter is handled well, it might catch the president's eye, providing an opportunity to climb the ranks and gain more resources;
'But if things go wrong, or if danger arises, my life might be in danger.'
"The world is vast, but one's own life is the most important."
If all else fails, I might as well give up this ministerial position; it's not worth gambling my future with my life.
Similar thoughts...
It surged wildly in the minds of every department head.
With everyone preoccupied with their own thoughts, the scene fell silent for a moment.
A short while later,
The Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Spirit Medicine Department, dressed in a robe embroidered with patterns of alchemy furnaces and spiritual herbs, couldn't contain himself any longer and stepped forward to stand still.
He respectfully performed a half-bow to the several semi-honored guests at the head of the table.
With a somewhat cautious tone, he asked:
"senior!
As disciples of the Cultivator Association, we should obey the Chairman's decree without question.
However, I have a question that concerns the safety of this reconstruction, and I hope you, senior, will kindly enlighten me!
next moment,
A detached and concise voice emanated from the throne above, carrying the majesty of a semi-ruler, devoid of any superfluous emotion:
"explain."
Upon hearing this,
The Minister of the Elixir Department, without further hesitation, straightened his back and said loudly:
"According to my inquiries, the time it took for the Guild Master to chase the mysterious evil cultivator who invaded the city and return to Zhenhai Immortal City was not long at all."
Therefore, I dare to ask, did the guild leader ultimately kill it completely?
If not, and that mysterious powerful figure is still roaming outside, our newly rebuilt headquarters will most likely be destroyed again.
That would not only waste a huge amount of spiritual materials and time,
It would also result in the needless loss of disciples, a loss that outweighs the gains!
of course,
These words, on the surface, were for the greater good of the monks' association.
After all, rebuilding the headquarters requires a massive amount of spiritual materials and resources.
If it is destroyed again, the losses will be incalculable;
The deeper subtext, however, was clear to everyone present: they were simply worried about the safety of themselves and their subordinate cultivators.
After all, the combat power displayed by that mysterious attacker was too terrifying.
Far exceeding ordinary half-saints,
They even possess the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Faced with such a formidable enemy, no one dared to be careless.
As the Minister of the Elixir Department posed this crucial question...
The leaders of other departments in the main hall also raised their heads, their gazes all falling on the several semi-saints at the head of the table.
His eyes were full of anticipation and trepidation, waiting for a definite answer.
Seeing this scene,
The several semi-venerable figures at the head of the table exchanged glances, nodded slightly, and conveyed their opinions.
Then, the half-saint who had remained silent and had a gentle expression slowly stood up, his gaze sweeping over the crowd below, and spoke in a steady tone:
"I understand your concerns. If I were in your shoes, I would have the same worries."
To be honest, when I first heard the news, I was just as worried.
They were afraid that the mysterious cultivator would escape.
This could lead to even greater trouble.
He paused, then his tone suddenly became extremely firm:
"However, not long ago, I received definite information personally conveyed by the Chairman."
Although the guild leader was unable to kill the mysterious cultivator on the spot, he had used a supreme secret technique to completely suppress him within the great formation.
With the power of the formation and the guild master's seal, there is absolutely no way he could break out of the formation again and cause trouble!
at this point,
I hereby guarantee, in the name of the Monks' Guild, that there is absolutely no falsehood whatsoever!
With this remark,
The cultivators inside the hall instantly breathed a sigh of relief, a glint of light flashing deep in their eyes.
His tense expression relaxed considerably.
Someone couldn't help but ask immediately:
"Senior, is this really true?"
"Is that mysterious cultivator truly completely sealed away and unable to escape?"
"Of course it's true!"
The semi-respecter spoke with a firm tone.
"How could I possibly deceive you?"
Besides,
"For this headquarters reconstruction, we old guys will personally accompany you all to Zhenhai Immortal City to meet the Guild Master."
Upon hearing this...
In an instant, the cultivator who had just harbored a last shred of doubt completely let down his guard.
Everyone put themselves in the shoes of these respected elders, believing that they wouldn't risk their lives.
Even if they were to scheme against others, they would never harm themselves; there is no doubt about that.
quickly,
Faced with the decree conveyed by the guild master, the cultivators in the hall had no further objections, and all of them were respectful and awaited instructions.
Then,
The several semi-saints at the head of the table stood up in unison. Among them, the semi-saint dressed in a black and gold robe stepped forward, his gaze sweeping around the hall with a majestic air.
His gaze first fell on the head of the elixirs department, and he issued the transfer order in a deep voice:
"The Spirit Medicine Department will immediately dispatch three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators and ten elite Golden Core Realm disciples."
Prepare healing pills, spirit-gathering pills, and other elixirs needed for reconstruction. Accompany me to Zhenhai Immortal City!
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Your subordinate obeys. Preparations will begin immediately and without delay!"
The Minister of the Elixir Department bowed and accepted the order decisively.
Then,
The half-saint's gaze shifted to the side, landing on the head of the weapon-refining department, a man with dark, reddish skin and a burly build, dressed in a crimson weapon-refining robe. His tone became more serious:
"In this headquarters reconstruction, weapon refiners are of paramount importance."
Repairing the formations, forging weapons, and reinforcing the city walls all depend on the support of the weapon-refining department!
"I hereby order you to mobilize the entire Refining Department, taking all refining equipment and materials, and depart with the main force. Do you have any objections?"
"I have no objections. I will obey your orders, senior, and go through fire and water without hesitation!"
The Minister of the Refining Department responded loudly and confidently.
Subsequently, the Half-Sage issued clear instructions to the Law Pavilion, the Law Hall, the Deacon Department, and other departments.
Detail the tasks and clearly define the responsibilities.
In less than the time it takes to burn an incense stick, all departments received their respective tasks, accepted their orders, and turned around to prepare manpower and supplies.
Just as the Jingfeng Immortal City Cultivator Association branch was busily coordinating manpower and preparing supplies...
Millions of miles away in the Immortal City of Chongyi, the main hall of the Cultivator Association was already bustling with activity.
The hall was also filled with top experts from various departments.
Several semi-saints stood before the main hall, their auras dark and oppressive. One of them, holding a whisk, spoke in a clear voice,
The voice, carrying a seductive power, resounded throughout the entire hall:
"Gentlemen, this mission to rebuild the headquarters in Zhenhai Immortal City, as ordered by the Guild Master, may seem like a difficult task..."
In reality, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for advancement for you!
As you all probably know, Zhenhai Immortal City was attacked not long ago, and many high-ranking experts and core disciples of the headquarters unfortunately perished.
The vast headquarters of the Cultivator Association had a large number of high-ranking and powerful positions vacant.
what does this mean?
I don't need to say more, do I?
You should all know this perfectly well!
He paused, looking at the light that had ignited in the eyes of the crowd below, and continued:
"The vacant positions are your opportunities!"
The current Cultivator Association is a merger of the three former alliances, and its power is unparalleled among humans.
The higher one's status, the more cultivation resources, techniques, secret arts, and spiritual veins one controls.
With ample resources to support it, it would be difficult not to make further progress in cultivation!
Speaking of which,
He chuckled softly, his tone carrying a hint of expectation:
"Make the most of this opportunity, do your best, and earn the president's appreciation."
Perhaps many years from now, one of you will be able to reach the position of a half-sage.
It's even possible that they could go further and touch the threshold of the Nascent Soul Realm!
Following this semi-respectable figure's impassioned speech...
A surge of heroic spirit welled up in the hearts of the many cultivators below, all their previous concerns vanished, leaving only a desire for their future and cultivation.
'good!
There are a lot of high-level positions available at headquarters, which is a great opportunity for us to get ahead!
The Cultivator Association wields immense power and possesses countless resources. Climbing even one step up its ranks can make one's cultivation path a hundred times smoother.
Reaching the realm of a semi-saint is no longer an unattainable dream!
"In this reconstruction, we must give it our all, make a significant contribution, and strive to fill those vacant positions, so that we can rise rapidly in our careers!"
'···'
Such thoughts surged wildly in the minds of every cultivator, their eyes burning with fervor and their fighting spirit soaring.
Just then...
The half-saint's aura surged, and a vast and majestic voice boomed in everyone's ears:
"The time has come. Follow me to the Teleportation Hall and head straight for Zhenhai Immortal City!"
"As ordered!"
"As ordered!"
A unified and resounding response echoed throughout the hall.
Then,
The powerful members of the Chongyi Immortal City Cultivator Association branch formed a large and imposing group and marched toward the teleportation hall not far away.
This scene is not an isolated case.
Within the boundless sea territory, almost identical scenes were unfolding in the cultivator association branches of every large and medium-sized immortal city.
As time goes by...
Teams dressed in the uniforms of the Cultivator Association filed out of the teleportation hall of Zhenhai Immortal City in an endless stream.
With solemn expressions and focused auras, they left the palace without hesitation and surged towards the ruins of the former headquarters, now reduced to ashes, in the city center.
The immortal city, which had been somewhat deserted and oppressive due to the destruction of its headquarters,
It was as if they had been injected with a stimulant.
It became bustling with noise again.
The long street and the air were filled with monks from the association hurrying along, attracting many local monks and residents to stop and watch.
The whispers were filled with speculation and awe about the earth-shattering events of the past few days.
quickly,
The moment all the cultivators who came to the rescue stepped into the headquarters of the Cultivator Association...
That shocking scene came into their view without any concealment.
The once towering buildings and array formations that shone brightly in the sky—the headquarters of the cultivators' association—have vanished.
Instead, there was a vast, mirror-like expanse of charred black "white ground" that stretched as far as the eye could see.
It was as if an invisible giant hand had swept across, completely erasing everything above the ground.
Only the earth, scorched and crystallized by the high temperature, remained.
It reflected a cold, lifeless glow in the sunlight.
moment,
The previously orderly queue was suddenly filled with gasps and murmurs.
Seeing is believing!
Even after hearing the descriptions in the messages many times and seeing it with my own eyes, I was still... utterly shocked!
I never imagined the headquarters would be destroyed so... completely!
A middle-aged Golden Core cultivator with a sharp, wiry face murmured, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Yes!"
His colleague next to him spoke, his voice hoarse.
"This is something that cannot be accomplished by ordinary magic or natural disasters."
I truly cannot fathom what kind of earth-shattering collision of forces could have caused such a thing...
It was a terrifying scene, as if the world had just been created and all things had returned to nothingness.
Then,
More echoes and even more horrifying descriptions came from the ranks.
"What's so special about this? You haven't even been to the western edge of the city yet, have you?"
That's what you call truly breathtaking!
A small group of cultivators who had just come from that direction lowered their voices, but could not hide the fear in their tone.
“I just went around to take a look,”
The other person chimed in, their face still showing lingering fear.
"It's not just a corner of the Immortal City that was destroyed."
That area, spanning thousands of miles, along with the underlying spiritual veins and crust, was directly... wiped out!
Now that place has been replaced by an endless ocean that appeared out of nowhere.
The seawater was deep and unfathomable, and a chilling aura seemed to linger among the waves…
"It's said that it was pierced through by the aftershocks..."
"Be careful what you say! This is not a matter for us to discuss lightly..."
Just as these members of the various monk associations were deeply moved and discussing the matter—
boom!
A terrifying pressure, as vast as an abyss and as heavy as a mountain, swept in without warning.
It instantly enveloped the entire headquarters ruins area.
That wasn't a targeted act of killing intent.
Rather, it is absolute suppression at the level of life itself.
Like the immense water pressure suddenly pressing down on a tranquil deep sea.
The hundreds of cultivators residing in front of the ruins of the Cultivator Association headquarters, regardless of whether they were Golden Core cultivators or not.
Even the Nascent Soul True Monarchs froze in unison.
The surging magical power within them seemed to freeze, their souls were gripped by an invisible hand, and the noisy discussions abruptly ceased, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
A look of shock and awe appeared on everyone's face.
Then,
A cold, authoritative, and emotionless snort resounded deep within the consciousness of every cultivator, shaking their very souls.
"quiet!"
"The headquarters has been destroyed; this is no place for you to make noise and gossip."
"Stop talking and await orders!"
Although the owner of that voice did not appear, the pressure from someone at the half-saint level was undeniable.
He is clearly one of the high-ranking leaders of this rescue operation.
Upon hearing this...
The hundreds of cultivators fell silent, their curiosity and restlessness caused by the shock instantly suppressed.
At the signal of the leading Nascent Soul cultivators, the cultivators from the various immortal city branches quickly composed themselves, daring not to whisper among themselves, and remained silent.
Followed by.
Led by the demigods of each immortal city, the mighty torrent entered that desolate, vast, and boundless scorched "white land".
The texture underfoot felt hard and strange.
The lingering, faint heat emanated from the boots.
A faint, unsettling smell of burnt and broken aura filled the air.
Soon,
At the very heart of the ruins, where the headquarters' central hall should have been located...
A solitary building came into view for all the members of the rescue team.
It was an extremely magnificent palace, seemingly carved entirely from some kind of deep purple divine jade, with its eaves, brackets, and flying eaves and walls.
Its surface is imprinted with countless mysterious runes and patterns.
It stands quietly in the center of the white ground, forming a stark contrast with the surrounding desolation and death.
It's also incredibly eye-catching!
