Chapter 276 Borrowing a Chicken to Lay Eggs [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

At this point, the exchange of the intervening curtain has been basically completed.

Apart from Fang Ge, who still has one A-level side quest, all the other characters combined only have two C-level side quests and nineteen D-level side quests left.

These two C-level side quests allow Zheng Zha to acquire the [Gonggong Phase] and [Houtu Phase], making it easier for him to replicate the original darkness of the demon Zheng Zha.

D-level side quests are generally used to unlock the world of God and Demon Legends.

Before heading to the Sky Pavilion, you need to gather the simplest upgrades, as well as the readily available reward points and side quests.

Fang Ge first returned to the world of Legend of Sword and Fairy alone for ten days.

Time seemed to stand still at the moment of defeating the water monster. Seeing that Fang Ge was still safe and sound, Li Xiaoyao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother Fang, I'm so glad you're alright... Where are the other seniors?" Li Xiaoyao carefully put away Zhao Ling'er's soul crystal and cupped his hands in greeting.

With Fang Ge still alive, the matter of reviving Zhao Ling'er... should be a sure thing.

"From now on, the Qionghua Sect can stand tall and proud in the world."

Fang Ge patted him on the shoulder, looking relieved, and said, "As for them, I can only say that most of them are unharmed..."

"How could this be..." Li Xiaoyao said with a sorrowful expression, unable to bear it, "Even Brother Fang can't revive the fallen predecessors?"

How could anything in the world be so perfect?

Fang Ge smiled nonchalantly, "I only wish that their souls are still here, and that they can be fellow disciples again in the next life... Brother Li, let's return to Mount Shu first. I also ask Senior Sword Saint to look after this [Reincarnation] for me, so that I can find them."

"Alright! I will definitely do my best to help!" Li Xiaoyao nodded vigorously. "Brother Fang has been incredibly kind to me. If there's anything I can do for you in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Fang Ge nodded and then reported the battle situation to the Sword Immortal, the Holy Maiden, Anu, and the others.

The Sword Immortal Mo Yixi was also grateful to Fang Ge for guiding him to find his biological daughter, and wanted to help him with this favor as well.

"Young man, I, Mo Yixi, have never lived with such clarity in my life as I do today..."

Mo Yixi's eyes were clear and firm. He promised, "You have proven that fate is bullshit, and everything is up to us! Even if you have to beg and plead with Senior Brother Sword Saint, I will definitely find a way for you!"

Fang Ge knew that he had attained enlightenment and would soon break through to the Nascent Soul stage, and there was even a possibility of ascending to immortality.

The Sword Immortal, who had never escaped the torment of love throughout his life, eventually succumbed to alcoholism. But now things are different. He has finally taken on his responsibilities and realized that Yin Ruozhuo's actions... were not the only solution.

Fang Ge congratulated Mo Yixi, and the three of them immediately embarked on their journey back to Mount Shu.

In recent days, Shushan has barely managed to repair the damage to the landscape caused by the three-way battle that day.

Although Yin Ruozhuo never leaves his home, Mount Shu possesses its own methods for observing the world. Through secret techniques, he can even instantly discover the past and present lives, family background, and location of any mortal…

In a sense, Mount Shu is the human representation of the divine realm.

When he met Fang Ge, Yin Ruozhuo was very frank. He cupped his hands and said, "Young friend, your skill is beyond compare. I am ashamed to say that I am inferior to you. As for what you are asking for, I will make it convenient for you."

Yin Ruozhuo knew that for Fang Ge, finding the reincarnation of her old friend without going through the Shu Mountain path would just take a little more time.

The opponent was a truly ruthless individual who dared to defy fate and gracefully retire after achieving his goal. Even the water demon beast, which was considered troublesome by the descendants of Nuwa, was defeated by him...

Besides, it's only been a month since we last met, and his cultivation has already risen to an immeasurable level... Offending him would be of no benefit at all, so it's better to do him a favor.

"That's great..." Fang Ge greeted the other party with a smile, and then proposed a new plan.

He handed over the prepared materials on the "Four Symbols, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams Grand Array - Simplified Version" to Sword Saint Yin Ruozhuo, and then said:

"Now that the Demon-Sealing Tower has collapsed, the seal on the Well of Gods and Demons is in turmoil... Qionghua intends to cooperate with Shushan to use the [Four Symbols, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams Grand Formation] to seal the entrance to the Well of Gods and Demons. With the Three Sovereigns' artifacts to suppress it... this will surely be a great achievement for all time."

This is actually a calculated move, a scheme by the Central Continent Team to exploit others. Even a simplified version of the Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams Grand Array would cost at least 100,000 reward points to set up!

With the help of Shushan... costs can be reduced by more than 90%! They just need to provide the technology!
And Shushan has exactly this need!
To prevent the demonic energy of the Well of Gods and Demons from leaking out and to prevent the demons of the demon realm from encroaching on the human world, the Shu Mountain Sect sent out various people to search for cracks in the Well of Gods and Demons in the human world, and used magic to draw and concentrate the many cracks to the bottom of the Demon Locking Tower.

Then, deep beneath the original tower, connecting to the passage to Mount Shu, a sealing barrier of the Gods and Demons was set up to seal off numerous spacetime rifts.

However, the seal weakens and falters every few years. To prevent instability from causing turmoil in both realms, the sect leader and elders still need to use spells to periodically reinforce the seal...

When the Demon-Sealing Tower collapses, the seal on the crack in the Well of Gods and Demons at the bottom of the tower will inevitably be violently impacted, enough to cause turmoil in both realms!

According to the original plot, after the Demon-Sealing Tower collapsed, the Shu Mountain Sect moved the sealing barrier that bound the cracks in the Well of Gods and Demons from the bottom of the tower to the blood pool in the ruins of the Demon-Sealing Tower.

Right now, Yin Ruozhuo should be busy with this matter.

In the storyline of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 5" more than a decade later, the Well of Gods and Demons was finally cleaved open by the Fuxi Sword. As a result, the Seven Sages of Shu Mountain had to sink the Shu Mountain and seal the entrance to the Well of Gods and Demons with the Three Sovereigns Seal!

Using the Shushan Mountains to seal the Well of Gods and Demons was actually a long-standing plan. It had been in the works since the first patriarch ascended to the realm of gods.

However, how could this method compare to the orthodox cultivator's prestigious [Four Symbols, Five Elements, Eight Trigrams Grand Array]?

As expected, Yin Ruozhuo was deeply attracted by the profound mystery of the array diagram after only glancing at its basic information.

This is only natural... because for non-orthodox cultivators, orthodox cultivation materials are as precious and tempting as the "Great Dao".

The saying goes, "If I hear the Way in the morning, I can die content in the evening." How much more so for the sake of the millennium-long plan of Mount Shu!
"Senior Sword Saint, do you have a plan?"

Seeing the glint of light flashing in Yin Ruozhuo's eyes, Fang Ge smiled slightly and asked softly.

“This…” Yin Ruozhuo pondered for a moment, even someone like him would have such a moment.

"Qionghua has the methods to set up formations and the people to perform the spells... However, the Qionghua Sect is still affected by the events of the past, and it is now a newly established sect. It is extremely difficult to gather all the necessary materials for setting up formations."

Fang Ge softly explained the reason: "The Shushan Immortal Sword Sect holds a leading position in the righteous path and enjoys a long-standing reputation. If we are to say which sect or school can achieve such a feat, then it is only your sect!"

"Sealing the Well of Gods and Demons is a great undertaking that cannot be accomplished in one generation."

Yin Ruozhuo sighed deeply, seemingly with some regret, "I wish to make Li Xiaoyao the next leader of the Shu Mountain Sect. Perhaps everything will end in his hands."

"Me? Me?" Li Xiaoyao, standing to the side, was completely bewildered.

"This unreliable kid can be the sect leader?" Mo Yixi said bluntly, "Senior brother, your personal disciple Taiwu is excellent in both cultivation and character..."

"To accomplish this, none other than Li Xiaoyao can do it."

Yin Ruozhuo replied firmly, "Qionghua has just been established, and our Shushan Society will do everything in its power to help. This includes the matter of finding the reincarnation that young friend Fang is seeking... As soon as there is any news, I will convey it to him immediately."

Fang Ge knew that both things were settled.
