Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear
Chapter 572 - 539: Celestial Soldiers and Generals
Upon hearing these words, Wang Wu was not surprised.
Three hundred quotas nearly encompassed all Taiyi and Earth Immortals of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear Race into the fold, now they are Guardian Immortal Soldiers, in the future they will be Celestial Soldiers and Generals.
They have an establishment now, no need to stay in the Cultivation Realm striving for a comeback, they can enjoy stable prosperity.
At the same time, it also means that Great Wilderness City is to be abandoned.
But can he accept this quota? Can he accept that his future path is already arranged?
To be honest, he still wants to take a risk, especially since there are many things he hasn’t done yet.
"Thank you for the clan leader’s kind intentions, but I still wish to return to the Hidden Origin Association once, my wives and concubines are there."
Wang Wu politely declined.
"If that’s the case, there is no helping it, I wish you good luck, but I’m afraid you won’t be able to return to the Hidden Origin Association for now, because although the sealing Immortal Array has been dismantled, it seems to have caused some terrible effects, furthermore, whether those six Half-step Daluos will accept the Immortal Decree is also uncertain, Wang Wu, you have been a great benefactor to our clan, regardless of your identity, or what secrets you harbor, or what you’ve done, so I’m willing to give you a piece of advice: being a Celestial Soldier and General is actually quite good, once you miss this village, there won’t be any more opportunities."
"In any case, think carefully, I’ll reserve that quota for you, with a limit of three years, handle your own matters first, strive to return and report to me within three years, don’t delay. This is a one-time opportunity."
The Bear Emperor Armor spoke with deep implication, Wang Wu understood.
"Thank you, Clan Leader!"
Wang Wu expressed his gratitude solemnly, when he came out, he saw those elders and children of the Ancient Bear Race in Great Wilderness City tidying up their belongings, disbanding from organized groups into small ones, leaving Great Wilderness City and fleeing into the mountains and fields.
Their strength had not surpassed the First Grade, they are not Earth Immortals, so they cannot enter within the five hundred quotas, thus instead of staying in this doomed-to-decline Great Wilderness City, it’s better to occupy mountains in the wilderness and quietly thrive.
This is a special Immortal Realm stability-maintainment method.
Therefore, Bear Emperor Armor also could not be partial, he had to allocate two hundred quotas to the side of Hidden Origin City.
After the last battle, although the Taiyi Earth Immortals of Hidden Origin City suffered heavy losses, it is estimated they also fought in desperation and blood, keeping them in the Cultivation Realm, who knows what might happen?
Reason tells Wang Wu that he should join, but he still wants to go to Cyan Frost City, his dearest loved ones are all there, returning to meet them would be good, otherwise, he might never have the chance to see them again.
However, he cannot leave temporarily, as he has only recovered seventy percent of his strength, going out now, he could not return to Cyan Frost City.
Hence, returning to secluded cultivation, huh?
Wait a moment, it’s ineffective, Wang Wu looked at the Jade Talisman in his hand, the Ancient Bear Race has dismantled those Eternal Firm Immortal Artifacts?
"Apologies, Lord Wang Wu, Great Wilderness City is about to be abandoned, all our Eternal Firm Immortal Artifacts need to be placed on a scaled-down Spirit-Catching Ship, within Great Wilderness City, no valuable Immortal Artifacts or Immortal Arrays will remain."
An Ancient Bear came up with a smile, taking back the Jade Talisman from Wang Wu’s hand.
Now the entire Great Wilderness City is like a large demolition site.
Everything is being dismantled.
Useful things are dismantled, useless things are also dismantled because in the future it would be impossible to return, so why not take some hometown stones or entire buildings to reminisce on the past?
It’s simply not a matter.
In fact, even the side of Hidden Origin City is dismantling, if Li Huo Monarch were to strike at this moment, wouldn’t it lead to total annihilation?
Fortunately, this possibility is almost negligible.
Wang Wu wandered around but couldn’t find any place suitable for his secluded cultivation.
Even when he returned to Great Wilderness City, he found it almost reduced to ruins, the elders and children of the Ancient Bear Race had mostly evacuated, only three hundred Earth Immortal Ancient Bears and Taiyi Ancient Bears remained to express their feelings about the place.
A stream of Yin and Yang Qi descended, with nine Creation Talismans floating around forming a temporary Nine Heavens Passage, here is the path to ascend to heaven.
The Taiyi from Hidden Origin City had also gradually arrived, uniformly Taiyi, Earth Immortals had no chance.
"Wang Wu, what are you hesitating for?"
Elder Hui had also arrived, seeing Wang Wu he couldn’t resist shouting, "Others covet the quotas without avail, yet you hesitate. Our generation no longer has the opportunity to prove the Dao of Daluo, but taking this chance to enter All Heavens Immortal Realm and become Celestial Soldiers and Generals is our only opportunity. Don’t be too stubborn. Don’t speak of whether Frost Monarch is alive or not, even if she is, she wouldn’t pass up such an opportunity."
"You boy, don’t be foolish!"
Elder Hui’s words made sense, but he was unaware of the inside story.
Thus Wang Wu could only smile bitterly, cupping his hands before quickly retreating, behind him, the conclusion of the final glory of the Cultivation Realm was unfolding.
He even felt a sense of vastness, yet no place felt like home.
He thought of visiting the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, but as soon as the idea emerged, a slightly uneasy feeling passed through his heart, an alert!
Can’t go, it’s dangerous over there.
Very normal because these Sin Prison Towers were considered the most valuable and monumental heavy assets of the Cultivation Realm, regardless of their purpose, they hold the significance of suppressing the Cultivation Realm.
Now, as Twelve Daluos are about to construct All Heavens Immortal Realm, of course, they would bring all good things along.
These Sin Prison Towers, many are actually private properties of those Daluos.
Even the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower is actually property of the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch.
"Has it started?"
Wang Wu suddenly stopped, gazing into the distance. Although he couldn’t see anything, he could sense it. A massive shockwave was forming, initially billions of miles away, yet in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of him.
However, this shockwave didn’t possess much power, only causing immense tremors, mountain collapses, earth cracking, fire spurts, and floods.
For mortals, this was naturally a catastrophic disaster, but for the cultivators, even those at the bottom, they could effectively avoid it. Moreover, because of this great calamity, they might discover some Grotto Heaven Blessed Lands, Spiritual Energy Springs, or the like, which could become the site for establishing a Cultivation Sect’s mountain gate in the future.
After all, a camel on its last legs is still bigger than a horse. Even if this vast Cultivation Realm is plundered several times, for ordinary mortals or cultivators below First Grade, it remains an inexhaustible treasure trove.
At this moment, naturally, Wang Wu didn’t care about these things. What he saw was just an enormous tower piercing through the sky, slowly rising from the ground, guided by the Yin and Yang Qi, heading toward Outer Heaven.
In the moment it passed through Outer Heaven, Wang Wu even sensed the so-called All Heavens Immortal Realm and vaguely saw the outline and aura of a true Daluo.
How overwhelming it was!
Just like a mortal standing before the sun, obliterated into ash in a second.
The Daluo seemed to have noticed Wang Wu, but didn’t pay attention, focused solely on relocating one Sin Prison Tower after another.
Yes, not just one.
These may not all be his, but who cares? Whoever grabs it claims it.
Even other Daluo are competing for them.
Wang Wu couldn’t help but worry about the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower where Qingxue was. If it were taken, there would really be no chance.
Suddenly, he heard a desolate, angry, extremely suppressed roar, sounding like a Half-step Daluo, but he couldn’t tell which one.
No, they had united, seemingly dissatisfied with the arrangements of the Twelve Great Daluo. 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
They roared, taking the opportunity when the Twelve Great Daluo were relocating the Sin Prison Towers, to rush towards the firmament, breaking through the passage, and charging into Outer Heaven.
Now the entire Cultivation Realm had become a prison under soft internment. Others could remain, but they dared not stay, as there was a supposedly once-in-ten-thousand-years chance to break through.
Who would believe that!
However, the Twelve Great Daluo seemed indifferent, all busy competing to relocate the Sin Prison Towers.
Suddenly, Wang Wu sensed something, sharply turning to look in a direction—a not-so-conspicuous Sin Prison Tower rose into the air, yet midway, it changed direction, escaping from the control of those Daluo, seizing the opportunity to escape the Cultivation Realm and head to Outer Heaven.
Although there was no information or evidence, Wang Wu still sighed in relief.
Qingxue succeeded, she achieved Half-step Daluo!
In this last moment, she refined that Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower as her own, taking advantage of the opportunity when the Hidden Origin Divine Monarch gave up, and when other Daluo were vying for better Sin Prison Towers, to flee.
Wang Wu stared blankly, feeling gratified, yet at the same time, a deep sorrow arose in his heart. He actually wanted to return to Cyan Frost City to meet Frost Monarch, Snow Wolf, and Madam Yu.
Even though he knew that as long as they lived, being selected for the Guardian Immortal Soldiers would be easy.
So at this moment, the best choice was to return to Great Wilderness City, join with Bear Emperor Armor and the others, and take the special Heaven Ascension Dao. Becoming a Celestial Soldier and General wouldn’t be a bad ending.
But this also meant he might never see them again in this lifetime.
The Twelve Celestial Immortal Realms surely weren’t just one Immortal Realm.
As for staying behind, it essentially meant being trapped for life in the Cultivation Realm, playing with a bunch of kindergarten kids.
When the time came, there would be numerous Celestial Laws restraining, and daring to disobey would result in Celestial Soldiers and Generals being dispatched for punishment.
Was he supposed to be an Ancient Bear version of Havoc in Heaven?
Enough, enough!
This was the era of the Twelve Daluo Golden Immortals; they were the supreme twelve protagonists, opposing them led to no good end.
Being a Celestial Soldier and General was quite good.
Wang Wu turned around, heading straight for Great Wilderness City. But just as he was about to arrive, he stopped again, looking back, unsure if it was an illusion, or if the sense of crisis from his Level 27 Danger Perception and Level 9 Early Warning made him uneasy. Not fatal, just indescribable, like feeling shackled.
Yes, he was certain that becoming a Celestial Soldier and General would indeed be like being shackled.
"I’m not leaving; staying among humans is pretty good."
Wang Wu turned again, disappearing into the wilderness.
Three years later, Bear Emperor Armor regretfully shook his head, selecting a Taiyi who had been waiting anxiously, eagerly looking forward to being selected for the Guardian Immortal Soldiers. Then, the whole group ascended the Celestial Ladder, under the irradiation of the Yin and Yang Qi, completely and forever leaving this Cultivation Realm.
They would never return.
But no one knew that in Outer Heaven, within a certain Celestial Immortal Realm, an Ancient Bear Daluo also sighed with regret. What a cunning little bear cub.
Not even biting!
However, from now on, with the rules of the All Heavens Immortal Realm being perfected, the Twelve Great Daluo would join forces to refine the Immortal Realm Gate. Ascending would become difficult.
Or, if one ascends, they would certainly fall into his hands.
If you’re capable, you can forever remain in the Cultivation Realm, decaying away.
