Chapter 821: Connate Metal (2)
Editor: Atlas Studios
An uninhabited heavenly mountain?
An island floating overseas?
High and cold clouds?
Or an empty cave under the ground?
Only in a kind of extreme place could one avoid the harassment of evil thoughts.
They could not bring too many people.
Otherwise, if they attracted evil thoughts, everyone would be finished.
In the blink of an eye, they had already planned more than a hundred ways to survive the apocalypse.
Most people gave up resisting immediately.
However, they immediately sensed a terrifying domain erupting below them.
Under the envelopment of the domain, the speed of the surging evil thoughts suddenly slowed down, becoming less than a tenth of their original speed.
It was the current Human Emperor who had used the Anti-Cultivation Spiritual Bead of the Nüba’s Eye.
The anti-cultivation domain could slow down the speed of evil thoughts. This was the information he had learned during the test. At this moment, it was very useful.
“I, Jiang Li, will block the evil thoughts here. I hope that everyone can cooperate and save the Nine Provinces together.”
“In addition, at this critical moment of life and death, I hope everyone doesn’t have any other thoughts. Otherwise, my Fengdu City will immediately retreat.”
“You should know that Fengdu City is in the Netherworld!”
Jiang Li took on the most important and difficult mission alone.
Letting the three thousand experts mobilize the cultivators of the Nine Provinces to cooperate with the logistics was already benevolent.
Everyone had their own thoughts.
Even now, this kind of life-and-death situation was no exception.
Even at this moment, Jiang Li believed that at least more than half of them in this group had the intention of resisting on the surface and exhausting their opponents, or even stabbing them in the back!
This was the nature of humans, not to mention that these people in power in the continent of the Nine Provinces had the attributes of politicians to begin with. It was better not to expect them to have a conscience.
Jiang Li could only use the most direct method to explain the consequences to them.
The continent of the Nine Provinces was the continent of everyone, not just the Human Emperor.
Under the calamity, if they dared not help, he would not bother with them anymore!
At that time, they would part ways!
Fengdu City turned around and killed all these guys first. Then, they brought all the people they could and ran to the Netherworld to hide.
Currently, he was already modifying the internal structure of the coffin.
They separated the vast and empty space and used it to rise from the ground to the high-rise building in the dome, using the space as much as possible.
It was definitely not a problem to contain a few trillion people.
He would modify the Netherworld environment on the Yang side of the Back Yin Mountain.
It could also allow some of the more tenacious humans to barely live.
Under Qin Shuman’s calculations, if Fengdu City used its full strength, it could roughly take away and raise the population of one to two large provinces other than the Prosperous Ox Continent.
Although the loss was huge, it was still acceptable!
At most, they would wait for hundreds or thousands of years.
After the evil qi in the continent of the Nine Provinces dissipated, they would move back!
As long as they reproduced for a few generations, the Nine Provinces would regain their vitality.
The calamity here was too terrifying.
If he could not do it, he would not sacrifice his own benefits.
He had already prepared for the worst and would really do this.
As if they had heard Jiang Li’s determination, the three thousand experts more or less put away some of their bad thoughts.
He flew out of the Bottomless Pit with the three Hall Masters and four Merit Ministers of Fengdu City.
The matters above had already been arranged properly, and his subordinates were quite capable.
The plan depended on the person. All Jiang Li could do now was try his best to stall for time alone.
“With this time, I can probably last 33 days.”
“It’s time to find something to do.”
With a thought from Jiang Li, a circular hole immediately appeared in front of him.
One could see that there were birds and flowers inside.
A large area of golden rice spread out on the vast rice field. At a glance, there was no end to it.
The space that appeared in front of Jiang Li was the interior of the current Yin Burial Coffin.
Not long ago, the Yin Burial Coffin had pulled out a Netherworld fragment alone to connect it.
Without a doubt, it had also obtained the reward of the Netherworld Merit. The total amount was much more than Jiang Li’s green lotus.
With the help of the merit, its artifact grade increased again. Now, it had already reached the medium-grade Heaven-rank super artifact.
At the same time, there was an additional function.
In the future, no matter where the coffin was, Jiang Li could open the space connected to it at any time.
He could directly enter or easily take items from the coffin.
Finally, there was no need to use other storage artifacts to temporarily replace it.
After taking something out of the coffin space, a golden soft rope that was tied into a ball appeared in Jiang Li’s hand.
It was the top-notch ancient immortal artifact, the Immortal Binding Rope, that Jiang Li had snatched from Jiang Ziya earlier.
Jiang Ziya used the Fire Cloud Cave, the holy land of the human race, to leave behind many things from ancient times.
However, other than the apricot yellow flag, one of the Connate Five-Direction Flags, this rope was undoubtedly the strongest.
This Immortal Binding Rope was once the treasure of one of the twelve Golden Immortals of Chan School, Ju Liusun.
After activating it, it could automatically bind the enemy. Anyone below the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal realm would be captured.
In the Divine Investiture Battle, it was considered a brilliant artifact. Its name was known by many people.
However, this Immortal Binding Rope was not one, but a pair.
The other was called the Flashing Metal Rope. It was the belt of the Grand Pure One, the Grand Supreme Elder of the Tushita Palace.
He had once brought considerable trouble to the stone monkey during the calamity of the Journey to the West.
Therefore, it could be seen that this Immortal Binding Rope should have originally belonged to the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Beginning.
However, he gave it to Ju Liusun later on.
Initially, they were given to these two disciples by the Dao Ancestor, Hong Jun.
These two ropes were actually two Connate Golden Threads that swam in the Chaos.
They were found and refined by the Dao Ancestor.
Now, one had fallen into his hands.
The lifespan of this rope had reached its end.
Jiang Li opened his mouth. One of his canine teeth was different from the others, and it emitted a jade-like emerald luster.
This was not because his teeth were stained with vegetable leaves.
It was because this tooth was the remains of Daoist Jade Cauldron, the tooth of Pangu, the creator of the world.
It was refined by him and fused into his body as a tooth.
This emerald tooth was also the hardest part of his body.
As Jiang Li used the anti-cultivation domain to slow down the evil thoughts below, he bit the end of the Immortal Binding Rope.
Even under the circumstances of severe damage, it was extremely difficult for Jiang Li to damage the Immortal Binding Rope.
Fortunately, this tooth saved him a lot of trouble.
As the jade-like tooth stabbed into the Immortal Binding Rope, he activated the Spirit Essence Absorption.
The pitiful rope ball shook, but it was still unable to resist Jiang Li’s Spirit Essence Absorption.
Threads of golden threads were pulled out and put into the Qi Sea Purple Mansion.
The Five Elements Qi of Metal.
During this period of time, Jiang Li discovered that he was unable to refine this rope no matter what.
He already had two Dragon Imprisoning Lock, so he did not especially need such an artifact with repeated functions.
He might as well extract its Connate Metal today as one of the five qi in his chest.
This was also one of the few qi that could compare to the Nüwa Earth Mother Qi.
Time passed just like that.
In the outside world, the three million Wood Dragons and 90 million Yin Soldiers of Fengdu City covered the Nine Provinces.
Under their supervision, most forces accepted the uniform arrangement.
All cultivators above the Soul Formation realm, be it rogue cultivators or sects, had to squeeze their Essence Souls every day to condense a large number of Essence Soul balls.
Cultivators and commoners below the Soul Formation realm had to join the dream world.
Each person would immerse themselves in the dream for at least sixteen hours a day to contribute their dream and emotional strength.
In the location of the Village Viewing Platform in the Netherworld, a huge building was temporarily built.
Inside, there were a large number of ghosts imprisoned. Qin Shuman was presiding over them and doing some kind of experiment.
