Chapter 278 The Great Sweep! [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

Things will surely go smoothly, because if they don't, the Qionghua Sect will face annihilation and the risk of its lineage being cut off...

Compared to the complete severance of the lineage, avenging Master Taiqing seems insignificant.

With the sword pillar broken and the double sword net no longer binding it, the Illusionary Realm will soon return to its original state, leaving the area that the Qionghua Sect can cover.

Aside from being rich in spiritual energy, the Dream Eaters were completely poor and had nothing that Fang Ge could be interested in.

Even their most prized possession, the Dream Vessel, which can materialize dreams by absorbing feelings of longing, is of no use to the Central Continent Team.

Unlike the Qionghua Sect, which is currently even more prominent than the Shushan Sect... it can be said that it is full of treasures!
Apart from Elder Chongguang, who was rather straightforward and attempted to struggle but had all his cultivation destroyed by Fang Ge's slap, all the other high-ranking members of Qionghua chose to give in.

These people aren't really villains, and they're quite weak. Even if you kill them, it won't trigger any side quests.

"That's right! The dual-sword technique violates the will and rules of Heaven. Even if one ascends to the Heavenly Light of Kunlun, one will not escape the punishment of the divine realm. Only self-discipline and cultivation are the right path."

Fang Ge remained aloof and didn't care what their expressions were.

If they knew that they were the head of the Qionghua Sect from another timeline, I wonder what kind of expression they would have.

The Shangqing Zhuxian Gong, a technique that follows an unorthodox path of cultivation and is capable of leading to the realms of immortals and gods, is far more valuable than anything from the Qionghua Sect.

Even the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden would covet such a supreme technique. The Dual Sword Technique… how could it compare to this in such a direct way?

But for the Zhongzhou Team, what they already possess and can replicate is almost costless, and the Zhongzhou Team is not some ancient sect with strong sectarian prejudices...

Fang Ge showed no restraint whatsoever, acting as if he were in his own home, and quickly emptied the Qionghua Sect's treasury and books.

Several high-level sword techniques of the Qionghua Sect, such as Shangqing Breaking Cloud Sword, Thousand Directions Residual Light Sword, Nine Nether Cold-Quenching Sword, and Sword Howling to the Nine Heavens, are mostly A-level or even AA-level. It would be wonderful to obtain them for free.

As for the Five Elements Immortal Arts and the methods of sword forging and weapon refining, they are priced at Grade A or above at the Main God's place! This fills the gap in the Central Continent Team's high-level immortal arts and weapon refining techniques.

Moreover, due to Su Yao's jealousy of talented people, even Murong Ziying was unable to learn all of these things.

This would further highlight that the new Qionghua is a "legitimate and prestigious" family, allowing them to completely drain Murong Ziying of his resources.

Fang Ge didn't even spare Zong Lian and the others' cultivation and insights. He forced them to write them down by hand, squeezing out every last bit of value and completely draining them.

After all, although the Central Continent Team is also a major force in cultivation, it is all built on abundant resources. The insights of these Nascent Soul stage cultivators are also of some reference value.

As for whether they will write counterfeit goods... as long as these old-fashioned people are forced to swear to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden that the content they provide is complete and accurate, they will not lie.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, we can have Chu Xuan proofread and verify it.

The classic texts and cultivation techniques are actually a minor expense, because they can be exchanged for one-tenth of the price at the main god's place, which means you save about twenty C-level side quests in total.

As for minerals and treasures... we'll have to buy them little by little!

While Chu Xuan's alchemy could create some low-level minerals, it was very difficult to replicate high-level ores imbued with divine properties.

However, in the world of Chinese Paladin, there are no orthodox cultivators... Even so, they can still make A-grade and even AA-grade weapons, which shows the high quality of the materials used!
Qionghua's inventory contains a considerable amount of spirit iron and divine stones. Fang Ge was too lazy to take the low-grade flying sword, but he still had to get the sect's treasure, the Water Spirit Pearl, and the Heavenly Pearl.

At the same time, Fang Ge wanted to reforge the multiple swords he had obtained into a pair of S-grade spiritual treasures!
"It's a waste for you to have these things; they'll only shine when they're in my hands."

Upon hearing this, no matter how well they maintained their composure, the faces of these Qionghua elders turned pale and then flushed.

It wasn't until Fang Ge finished counting the supplies and generously tossed over a thousand lesser-grade peaches into their treasury that they couldn't help but smile.

[Changing the ending of the Qionghua Sect will reward you with one A-level side quest and 20000 points.]

—That's far too little...

However, the plot of Sword and Fairy 4 is relatively minor, with no major figures involved and no impact on the overall situation. Since it doesn't qualify as a 2A side quest, the main god granted more reward points.

Fang Ge didn't bother with what happened next. He had explicitly included his own interpretations of the Jie Sect's doctrines in the Shangqing Zhuxian Gong.

As long as the Qionghua Sect remains obsessed with achieving immortality, it will definitely follow the above-mentioned development path. How it will ultimately develop is beyond Fang Ge's control, given his limited time there.

It can't be worse than complete annihilation nineteen years later. As long as Fang Ge leaves this timeline, the original twin swords will be unable to maintain any connection with Xuanxiao and Suyu.

With their aptitude... if they cultivate step by step and have the peaches of immortality to prolong their lives, they might very well become immortals.

Above the peaks of Kunlun Mountain, where the light of heaven shines down, lies the legendary path to immortality. It is a place of celestial realm, on par with Mount Shu.

A large number of cultivators gathered here, gradually forming eight sects: Kunlun, Qionghua, Biyu, Zicui, Xuanpu, Yuying, Langfeng, and Tianyong. They were named after the eight palaces of the immortal realm and were collectively known as the "Eight Sects of Kunlun".

At this point in time... the Qionghua Sect was at its most prestigious. But there was no reason not to take advantage of the other seven sects!
Fang Ge visited them one by one over three days, first explaining physics, then reasoning. Finally, using rare and precious materials and the Supreme Clarity Immortal-Slaying Technique to gain close proximity, he successfully emptied their treasuries. However, the quality was far inferior to that of Qionghua.

Then, Fang Ge traveled across mountains and seas at top speed, visiting major sects such as the Shu Mountain Sect and the Penglai Sect, and did the same thing.

He didn't even let go of the Demon-Suppressing Sword at the bottom of the Chain Demon Tower, trading it for the array diagram of the Four Symbols, Five Elements, and Eight Trigrams Grand Array and the basic information needed for array cultivation...

In truth, they didn't want to change, but they had no other choice. And if Mount Shu later acquires the ability to independently set up this grand formation, the mortal realm will be beyond redemption.

As for these cultivators who will all practice the Shangqing Zhuxian Gong in the future... what does that have to do with the Guanzhong Continent team?

Even the Supreme Celestial Venerable Lingbao had something to say: isn't this exactly what "education for all" means?

Since everyone practiced, it's as if nobody practiced, and the situation remains the same. The only difference is how much of Fang Ge's rare and precious materials he gave out.

Next, it's about seizing treasures in known locations. As long as you're not watched by the Three Sovereigns, you can take them as you please!

Such as the Five Elemental Pearls, the Light Chronicle Cold Map, the Kunlin, the Demon Sword, etc... As for the Solo Fruit, Fang Ge did not take it out of caution.

Because the setting of Shennong, the Earthly Sovereign, has been changed; he is now only "missing," not "dead."

With the intervention of the supreme deity, who knows what might happen if one comes into contact with the Solanum fruit from the Yan Emperor Shennong Cave...

These measures did not actually harm the fundamental nature of the world. Fang Ge filled this plane with a large number of rare and precious materials... At first glance, he seemed like a "good person".

Until the end of the tenth day, Fang Ge set foot in the Fengshen Mausoleum... Due to the serious scrapping of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4 game version, this is one of the most mysterious places.

Some people speculated that Shennong, the Earth Sovereign, was buried here, but the later version contradicts the earlier one... Shennong simply disappeared and was not sealed here.

If this is the main storyline world... there's a good chance this place could be the ruins of a saint.

However, as a parallel world, it is just an ordinary plot location, and in the setting, it is the burial place for the gods who died in the war between gods, humans, and beasts.

Because it was so large, Fang Ge's inner world could not contain it all, so he only moved the very central part.

As for the divine general Jumang guarding this place? Fang Ge wasn't even afraid of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, so this mere divine general, whom even the main characters of Immortal 4 couldn't kill instantly, was suppressed in the inner world in just a few moves.

Fang Ge didn't intend to kill these guards; after all, he wasn't some kind of demon...

When he returns to the Main God Space, all these living beings will be thrown out, and he only needs to seal the God's Tomb.

This was a major undertaking, and should have already alarmed the divine realm. However…

"What other way can you use the [Return] teleportation?"
