System's Super Sect-Chapter 585 - 582, A New Territory! Cangwu City?

"Immortal Sect, here comes the old man!"

After a whisper, Situ Xiuneng accelerated his pace, gliding through the forest like riding the wind.

The rustling sound of the wind blowing through the treetops was constant in his ears.

In the forest, Situ Xiuneng tried to avoid hitting any branches, which was not difficult for someone of the Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression.

As the wind rustled the branches and leaves, Situ Xiuneng seized the opportunity to pass through, without touching a single leaf.

Time passed slowly, and Situ Xiuneng suddenly stopped, looking up at the mountain top.

Through the gaps between the leaves, he saw the majestic main hall of the Immortal Sect, estimating the distance to be only a hundred yards.

Retracting his gaze, Situ Xiuneng couldn’t help but murmur, "This Yunlan Mountain didn’t seem high, but this forest is unexpectedly deep."

After speaking, Situ Xiuneng slowed down his pace.

Within a hundred yards from entering the Immortal Sect Master Hall, he had to be cautious, more cautious. After all, the Invisibility Flower could hide his aura but couldn’t blind people’s eyes.

From his perspective, the main hall wasn’t much to see.

For a sect or a family, their secrets are always in the back.

Most likely it’s a Secret Realm.

However, before searching for the secrets of the Immortal Sect, he wanted to see the full view of the sect. Honestly, even if a Four-star Giant Influence invited him to inspect their sect, he wouldn’t care.

But the Immortal Sect is different; he genuinely wanted to see more.

The Vortex Map with special abilities, the Flame Vein Skill that can be performed without Anomalous Vein, and the flying boat that can travel twenty to thirty miles with swordsmanship... they all originated from here.

There’s another reason: if the negotiation fails.

He would still be the Silver Level Chief closest to East Lake, inevitably becoming the leader of this alliance army, commanding the alliance army to annihilate the Immortal Sect.

Attacking a sect that possesses Upper Realm of Mountain Suppression, possibly even higher realm power, won’t work with mere numbers, so he must understand them well.

To know your enemy is to defeat them!

Having decided, Situ Xiuneng changed direction and decided to bypass to the side of the Immortal Sect Master Hall.

After half a stick of incense, Situ Xiuneng stopped again.

"Huh?"

He lifted his eyes through the gaps between the branches to look at the mountain top, the majestic main hall of the Immortal Sect was still about a hundred yards away.

Still?

Situ Xiuneng was stunned.

How could it still be a hundred yards?

Although he hadn’t been moving directly uphill, there were instances of walking straight, but he did move upwards.

Estimating it had been half a stick of incense, how could the main hall of the Immortal Sect still be a hundred yards away?

"Huh?"

Suddenly, Situ Xiuneng realized another problem.

The main hall of the Immortal Sect he saw looked exactly the same as what he saw earlier from a different position.

He had walked so far to the side, yet what he saw was still the same?

A sect’s main hall couldn’t be round, could it?

When realizing this problem, a trace of panic flashed in Situ Xiuneng’s heart, but it was immediately suppressed and vanished without a trace as he pondered.

After a long silence, Situ Xiuneng moved.

Cautiously, he walked toward the Immortal Sect Master Hall he saw, and to ensure he wouldn’t go astray, Situ Xiuneng took out a dagger from the Hidden Ring Sect.

A very ordinary wooden-handled dagger, only half a foot long.

"It might be some peculiarity in this forest that confuses my senses." Fortunately, he had been to a Secret Realm where, despite walking straight along the path, his body unwittingly moved somewhere else.

However, he could use Vein Qi to block that power from himself in the Secret Realm, which was not possible in the Immortal Sect.

Otherwise, the Invisibility Flower would have been eaten in vain.

So he could only use the simplest method.

Then, Situ Xiuneng took out a rope from the Hidden Ring and tied it to the dagger’s hilt, then used his physical strength to direct it towards the Immortal Sect Master Hall.

Of course, the dagger was flying in the forest.

It naturally aimed at a tree in the forest.

Just as Situ Xiuneng was about to grab the rope and follow the line up, an unexpected event occurred!

The dagger flew toward the trunk of a tree but suddenly bounced away.

"Someone?"

Situ Xiuneng’s first reaction was to hide behind a tree, thinking that someone must have used something to knock his dagger away.

But as he hid, Situ Xiuneng suddenly felt something was wrong. If someone knocked his dagger away, he shouldn’t have been unable to hear it.

Even though he hadn’t extended his Perception, his hearing hadn’t disappeared.

Situ Xiuneng quickly pulled the rope, retrieving the dagger. He picked it up and was stunned.

The dagger’s tip was curled!

But where the dagger fell, there wasn’t even a stone.

And even if there were stones, what kind of stone could chip his dagger like this? This dagger was forged from Black Pool Cold Stone, a weapon that could penetrate Mountain-Suppressing Armor even without Vein Qi!

"Impossible?"

Involuntarily, a very bold idea surfaced.

Even though he himself didn’t believe it, after eliminating all possibilities, however implausible the last possibility may be, it would be the truth.

Situ Xiuneng picked up the dagger and stabbed it into the tree trunk beside him.

Sparks flew instantly!

"This is a tree?"

Situ Xiuneng was shocked.

This tree is even harder than the Mountain-Suppressing Armor!

If you tell someone, who would believe it!

If I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes and tried it myself, I wouldn’t believe it either.

...

Viewing Room.

Before he knew it, two tubs of popcorn were gone again. Wen Ping went downstairs to get another tub and continued watching "Harry Potter".

However, one whole morning yielded nothing.

At lunchtime, Wen Ping glanced at Situ Xiuneng’s state in the Maze Array and then spent the afternoon buried in the Viewing Room again.

For several days in a row, Wen Ping always did this.

When the Life Core Pendant could swing again, Wen Ping tried it, but this time he wasn’t so lucky. The Life Core Pendant remained quiet, returning to its original position no matter how he fiddled with it.

Although some disciples or elders would occasionally watch "Harry Potter" these days, due to their longing for Flying Swords, they mostly went back to binge-watch "Immortal Slayer" at night.

That morning, Huan Cheng suddenly came up the mountain.

As soon as he arrived, the first thing he said was, "Sect Leader Wen, the old man from the Hundred Sects Alliance is missing, and the others are also hiding in the inn, not daring to come out."

"Hmm."

Wen Ping responded casually and then asked the system to show him Situ Xiuneng’s situation.

Situ Xiuneng was still trying to find a way out of the Maze Array...

Wen Ping then said, "Uncle Huan, just ignore him... By the way, how is the repair work in Cangwu City going?"

Huan Cheng replied earnestly, "I came up the mountain today to talk about this. The City Lord of Cloud Sea City has already sent some Companion Crystal Stones with a Great Demon General, and more will arrive gradually. However, the City Lord of Cloud Sea City refuses to accept payment."

"I expected that." Wen Ping thought for a moment and then said, "Just tell him it’s not mine to give, if he doesn’t accept payment, I can’t keep a good record."

Huan Cheng nodded, "Understood."

As they talked, Wen Ping suddenly remembered the question he had thought of a few days ago.

When will this patching up end?

"Let’s go, let’s go down the mountain and take a look."

Saying this, Wen Ping stepped towards the Thousand Layers.

After taking a step and stopping at the bottom of the mountain, Wen Ping and Huan Cheng arrived at the damaged city wall.

Luan Yue and another person were currently moving some overly heavy rubble. Seeing Wen Ping arrive, they quickly put it down and bowed towards Wen Ping, "Sect Leader Wen!"

Wen Ping only nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

Then he turned to Huan Cheng and said, "Uncle Huan, how long do you think it will take to repair this city wall?"

Huan Cheng replied, "It should only take half a year... with the two of them here, it shouldn’t even take half a year."

"Half a year!"

Wen Ping fell into deep thought.

Half a year isn’t long for him.

He can live for hundreds of years now, wasting half a year is no big deal.

But for the people of Cangwu City, with a life span of just a few decades, spending half a year repairing the city wall seems a bit extravagant.

As always, once it’s destroyed again, are they going to repair it again?

The time after that?

The time after that?

"System, is there a way?"

In the end, he had to ask for the system’s help, as he truly had no solution.

Natural disasters and man-made calamities, he wanted to prevent them, but truly couldn’t stop them.

The system responded, "There are many ways. Currently, there are only two feasible ones for you as the host."

"Which two?"

Indeed, while the system wasn’t omnipotent, only it could accomplish some things.

"First, increase the Fame Level to Level Four. This will not only enhance the host’s power in the Immortal Sect field but also grant the ability to annex. Although the Super Sect System will do its utmost to prevent the host from annexing powers like Cangwu City, if the host insists, I can’t stop it either. Once Cangwu City becomes a vassal, the host can undertake tasks and gain Heaven and Earth Transformation attempts, transforming it so that every flower and tree can be like the Immortal Sect!"

Hearing the system’s words, Wen Ping fell into deep contemplation.

Not to mention how difficult increasing the Fame Level is, annexing Cangwu City now as a vassal does seem a bit inappropriate.

Previously, the system held back, but now he feels that such a quota shouldn’t be wasted.

Especially when the Hundred Sects Alliance is watching intently!

Let’s hear the second one, if there’s really no choice, he’ll pick the first one.

"What’s the second one then?"

"The second is to upgrade the Main Hall. Calculations show that after three more upgrades, the Main Hall can obtain a new territory. Then the host can allocate Cangwu City as its own territory, and by doing so, the Evil Spirit Knight will automatically start patrolling Cangwu City. However, compared to the first method, this method isn’t as perfect. There’s still a probability of Cangwu City being destroyed. In light of the host’s ties to Cangwu City, please choose carefully."

"Let’s go with the second one. The first method is indeed perfect, but reaching Level Four Fame in the short term won’t happen."

"Shall we proceed with upgrading the Main Hall now?"

"Upgrade, three consecutive times."

"Upgrading the Main Hall three times in a row requires a total of 300 White Crystals."

"Why is it so expensive?"

"Because the cost for upgrading the Main Hall doubles each time. If the host is reluctant, then forget it."

"No, I’m willing, I’m willing!"

For the sake of Cangwu City, spending it is worth it.

After all, Huan Cheng was my father’s brother, and Cangwu City is also the place where I grew up.

Suddenly, Wen Ping thought of a question, "Right, after upgrading the Main Hall, we might have to upgrade the Tingyu Pavilion too?"

The Lower Realm of Mountain Suppression’s Evil Spirit Knight guarding Cangwu City might be a bit insufficient.
