The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1385 - 1398: Evil King Pursues His Consort (17)
The immortals had never seen such a thing; their Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate it, and for a moment, no one dared to act rashly.
Only Jiang Chao felt completely unsettled.
He hadn’t expected that what those mortals said was true; they actually succeeded.
The metal ship slowly opened a door in front of the immortals, and out came ten jubilant... ordinary people.
Almost all the immortals had gigantic question marks on their foreheads.
Were they seeing it right, ordinary people?
How could ordinary people reach the Immortal Realm?
However, no matter how many methods they tried to probe, the conclusion was: the opposite party was just ordinary mortals with short lifespans and devoid of any Spiritual Energy....
"So, this is the Immortal Realm? Other than the air being better, it’s no different from our Lower Realm."
"So, these are immortals... But, I don’t really like their expressions...."
.....
"How impudent..." Nanshan Immortal Venerable was the first to strike.
Unfortunately, his attack was blocked outside the barrier of the metal ship.
"Wow, these immortals are really rude, they have no sense of hospitality, always shouting ’How impudent,’ ’How dare you,’ and attacking without a word."
"Isn’t that right...."
Even though Nanshan Immortal Venerable just casually attacked, it would be no problem for him to kill a few mortals.
It’s just that no one knew what kind of Magical Treasure this strange metal ship was, as it could actually withstand his attack, which was quite extraordinary.
"Detected Level 2 energy fluctuation, danger level yellow, members please prepare to evade."
A mechanical voice, precise and monotonous, echoed in everyone’s ears.
The humiliation Jiang Chao Ancestor suffered in the Lower Realm was vented onto these few mortals before him.
Following the Nanshan Immortal Emperor, he was the second to strike.
Unlike the casual attack of the Nanshan Immortal Emperor, he used all his strength.
"Beep beep beep beep beep...." An urgent alarm sounded, "Detected Level 1 energy fluctuation, danger level red, members please return to the cabin promptly and initiate the special evasion protocol."
As soon as the beeping sounded, the ten people who were standing outside the ship cabin, laughing and looking around, instantly leaped back inside the metal ship like rabbits. The cabin door closed quickly, signal lights turned on, and just as Jiang Chao’s attack was about to hit, the metal ship swiftly retreated through the portal, disappearing instantly.
Without a target to attack, Jiang Chao’s force went straight into nothingness.
Jiang Chao: "...."
The immortals: "....."
What was that?
Rather than chasing these insignificant mortals, the bigger problem facing the immortals now was.... The large portal between the realms, its powerful suction, continuously drawing the Spiritual Energy of the Immortal Realm into it.
And the news brought by Jiang Chao’s incarnation was that the entire Shen Zhou Continent in the Lower Realm had already become a wasteland devoid of Spiritual Energy.
If they couldn’t find a way to stop it, given time, the Immortal Realm would become the second Shen Zhou Continent.
New Era 235
"The tourism route to the Immortal Realm hosted by the Su Family Manor is now open to the general public. Interested travelers please visit the official website to register with your personal code...."
In front of the huge light screen, a young man and woman were whispering: "What’s so fun about the Immortal Realm route? It’s just the elders at home who like it, I still prefer staying at home."
"It’s really too primitive there, nothing’s available, and those natives of the Immortal Realm don’t have a good attitude towards us from the Lower Realm. I can’t understand why some people would pay to suffer...."
"Besides, the natural scenery there is still quite beautiful. Having seen enough of the skyscrapers on Shen Zhou Continent, it’s nice to see the pristine beauty of the Immortal Realm. However, there are some Immortal Realm survivors still researching how to restore Spiritual Energy, hoping to return to their former glory...."
"It’s said that those people are quite hostile towards us from the Lower Realm, so we should always be cautious when we encounter them."
"But, speaking of, with the beautiful mountains and waters of the Immortal Realm, those survivors are all extraordinarily good-looking...."

Extra (Part 2)
Su Zheng didn’t expect this powerful grandaunt to leave him and his younger sister alone to talk.
With a casual wave of her hand, several huge and heavy boxes appeared before them.
"Do you want to become more powerful?"
Su Zheng nodded frantically.
Of course he wanted to, why wouldn’t he?
After experiencing a disaster that almost wiped out the entire Su Family, he dreamt of becoming powerful.
But he was of mortal qualifications and had no Spirit Root, meaning he was destined to live as an ordinary mortal, possibly living a life of wealth.
A mortal.... In front of a cultivator, it was like an ant, easily crushed to death.
"Although you can’t arm your body, you can arm your mind. The power of wisdom is invincible, more formidable than physical strength."
With that, the grandaunt left.
At the time, Su Zheng didn’t understand what his grandaunt meant by these words.
But when he opened the huge boxes and discovered books he had never seen but felt heavy, something vaguely dawned on him.
The deeper he delved into these books, the more he could feel the weight in his mind.
That weight was the weight of knowledge.
Later, he heard that Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation World began to wane. He increasingly appreciated his grandaunt’s foresight in this move.
The Su Family’s Clan Leader, who was also his grandfather, declared that all Su Family members, regardless of age or gender, young or old, must study the books left by their grandaunt.
The contents recorded in the books were vast and boundless, and even with a lifetime’s effort of one person, it’s doubtful they could reach the end.
Fortunately, with the power of the whole clan, they finally achieved something in the shortest time possible.
And their grandaunt called it the light of technology.
The movement of Su Family Manor could not be hidden from the newly appointed City Lord, and unexpectedly, he greatly supported it and promoted Su Family Manor’s teaching methods throughout the city, sending talents to Su Family Manor when discovered.
As Spiritual Energy in the Cultivation World gradually disappeared, the Mortal World was undergoing tremendous changes.
Watching Su Family Manor, through everyone’s efforts, overcoming one challenge after another, and developing one novel item after another, Su Zheng had a premonition that one day, they ordinary people could stand on equal footing with cultivators or even suppress them.
Ordinary people armed with knowledge were no longer chickens and ducks to be slaughtered at will.
Knowledge is invincible, wisdom is invincible!
What Su Zheng did not expect was that, in just one generation, they accomplished what he desired.
And every generation of the Su Family afterward adhered to this ideal, advancing further and further on the path of pursuing wisdom.

Extra (Part 3)
Shui Linglong couldn’t understand why she didn’t die while everyone else did.
Her biological father died, the Sect Leader died, and the elders in the sect experienced a drop in cultivation and then withered away one after another.
Yet she lingered in the world with a decrepit and aging body.
At this moment, she began to hate her former self, who consumed too many Heavenly Treasures.
It seemed that because of all those good things she consumed, she was left clinging to a thread of life, unable to die.
But becoming an ordinary and decrepit old person made her live a life worse than death.
