Longevity through Upgrading Buildings-Chapter 502 - 238: Shang Court Cultivator... Ji Yuan!
Additionally, Hua Yaoyue seemed unwilling to say more.
After Ji Yuan arrived here, he naturally positioned himself as usual, shielding everyone in front of him.
Similarly, Dong Qian did the same, so Ji Yuan quickly noticed her as soon as he arrived.
"Senior Sister."
Ji Yuan first sent a voice transmission to greet her, and then he approached her side.
"Junior Brother, you’re finally back."
"The Sect Leader Martial Uncle has already sent a message with a lot of details, I’ll relay them to you later."
"Alright."
Ji Yuan responded, and the two of them said no more but focused on listening to Master Xuan Shui’s words.
He stood on the high platform in front of the square, dressed in a water-blue robe with gold trim, hands clasped behind his back, exuding Golden Core aura. Even his calm speech carried a slightly oppressive feel.
Ji Yuan didn’t know where he began his speech, but what he heard now was:
"Therefore, Shang Mountain must not fall at any cost. Once Shang Mountain falls, it signifies the failure of our Shang Dong Six Immortal Sects."
"At that time, the entire Shang Dong will become nothing more than a backyard garden for the demonic cultivators."
"When that day comes, do you still think you can cultivate? Just escaping their relentless pursuit would be fortunate. Many of you have already dealt with demonic cultivators and know how it is."
"We, the righteous cultivators, are just resources for their Demon Dao cultivation!"
Ji Yuan listened intently, and he agreed with Master Xuan Shui’s assessment, as it was indeed true.
In the face of the Demon Dao, righteous cultivators are simply resources for their cultivation.
From essence blood to corpses... there were times when Ji Yuan felt like he himself was a demonic cultivator lurking within the Water Dragon Sect, because his Chaotic Burial Mound required not only Foundation Establishment corpses but also Golden Core corpses.
While he was thinking, he suddenly sensed someone watching him.
The strength of his Divine Soul immediately came into play, and he looked in the direction of the gaze, seeing a woman with a veiled face looking back at him.
That was... the Isle Master of Cloud Mist!
Once, she had specifically asked Han Feiyu to deliver a Communication Talisman to him, but now Han Feiyu had been expelled from the sect...
Ji Yuan gave her a slight smile.
Immediately after, the Communication Talisman inside his storage bag vibrated slightly; the Isle Master of Cloud Mist had sent a message.
Ji Yuan sensed it but didn’t respond and continued listening to Master Xuan Shui’s speech.
"So, you’re all well aware of Shang Mountain’s significance. Even now, our Water Dragon Sect has many Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed there, but this is far from enough."
"The Demon Dao in Shangxi has been scheming for a long time, and this time they’re coming out in full force. Therefore, for our Shang Dong Six Immortal Sects to resist the attack of the demon cultivators, we must give our all."
"Next, our Water Dragon Sect needs to assemble the first batch of righteous cultivators willing to go to Shang Mountain to resist the demon cultivators!"
"The numbers are tentatively set as follows: 30 at the Peak of Foundation Establishment, 50 at the Late-stage Foundation Establishment, 100 at the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, and 200 at the Initial-stage Foundation Establishment. The spots are limited, first come, first served."
"Those willing to go can register with the Master of Bamboo Shadow Island in a moment."
When Master Xuan Shui finished speaking, a woman in a deep green magic robe rose into the air on a flying sword at the front of the crowd and offered a slight bow to everyone.
"I am Bamboo Shadow, greetings to fellow Daoists."
Ji Yuan, who had met her a few times at Liancheng Mountain, remembered she was a disciple of Su Xin Zhenren.
Not familiar.
"Senior Sister Bamboo Shadow, count me in; damn it, I’ll go to Shang Mountain and slay all those bastards!"
"Junior Sister Bamboo Shadow, my spear is already itching for a fight."
"Count me, the third one, in."
"..."
Many of the more radical disciples of the Water Dragon Sect were already shouting loudly, and Ji Yuan watched them with a sense of admiration.
No matter their motives, the fact that they were stepping up at this moment was commendable.
"Silence."
Master Xuan Shui spoke again, this time with a noticeable weight of authority, and the previously noisy square quieted immediately.
He slowly swept his gaze over the many Foundation Establishment cultivators present and spoke in a deep voice, "As the Sect Leader, and since you are all disciples of our Water Dragon Sect, I am responsible for your lives."
"I won’t deceive you; this journey to Shang Mountain is one of great peril. Thus, I hope you will consider carefully, not be driven by impulsive passion."
"In the next three days, the Master of Bamboo Shadow Island will wait here on Water Dragon Island."
"After three days, registration will close. On the fourth day, the disciples who have registered will be led by the Golden Core Zhenren of the sect to march on Shang Mountain!"
Master Xuan Shui’s final words were delivered with a tinge of anger.
His voice echoed throughout Water Dragon Island, continuously resonating in everyone’s ears.
The remaining Foundation Establishment cultivators, while not rallying with raised arms like ordinary mortals, shouting ’March on Shang Mountain’ or such, were nonetheless stirred with fervor.
Even Ji Yuan felt a momentary impulse to find a demonic cultivator and tear them to pieces.
But that feeling lasted only a moment before he suppressed it with one sentence.
He told himself, "Qiu Qianhai is a demonic cultivator."
"Moreover, those remaining in the sect will also have their respective duties assigned, so I ask for your cooperation."
"If there are any complaints, feel free to come to Water Dragon Island to find me or go to the Ancestral Hall to speak with the Elders."
After Master Xuan Shui finished speaking, his gaze roamed the crowd, seeming to seek out one or two to make an example of.
