Nobody told me this wasn't a game.

All they need to do is eat dog food until they reach the eighth realm, and then go to a lower-level community to make good use of the rules and maximize their abilities!

Zuo Chang wasn't entirely sure. He said, "Winning this game is extremely important for us. As for whether it's good or bad, it depends on how capable our opponents are."

This may sound illogical, but it is actually quite reasonable.

He thought to himself, "General Tianwang is indeed General Tianwang. From yesterday to today, he hasn't made a single move to prepare for battle, not even a pretense. I thought he was putting on a show, but I didn't expect him to be..."

Zuo Chang turned to look at him and asked, "The Church of Time, such a powerful force, has never successfully cultivated a Seed of Heavenly Dao?"

Even in book clubs, no one knows anything about "the pearl in the ocean".

If Zuo Chang speaks of the specific effects of the Seed of Heavenly Dao, then that would be enough to prove that he once obtained the Seed of Heavenly Dao.

When Zuo Chang acquired the Whispering Forest, it was already a matter of four-figure sums for the community, so the additional effects of the Seed of Heaven were of no use to him.

Tang Yuan witnessed everything before him and glanced at Zuo Chang without showing any emotion.

Tang Yuan was taken aback. He sensed that Zuo Chang was lying, but he didn't ask any further questions: "Then should we cultivate the Way of Heaven or the Way of Humanity?"

The Whispering Forest is quite large.

Zuo Chang needs this power.

Asking directly is definitely not an option.

Zuo Chang nodded: "Normally, only one seed can be planted in a certain area, but the spiritual energy of the Canghai Pearl is beyond your imagination. Not to mention two or three, four or five seeds are no problem. Plant the Human Dao in a conspicuous place, and then secretly plant the Heaven Dao. It's like having an insurance policy."

As the torrent surged underground, the surrounding spiritual energy revived. At the small island where the water splashed, clusters of spiritual energy were already floating, which could be seen with the naked eye.

Even if you punch a thousand times a day, progress will be very slow, and your body will gradually become stronger.

Once the flowing water hits a protruding "island" in the middle of the river, it is immediately pulled by some force and stops moving forward. Instead, it seeps into the ground at high speed!

Mayumi pointed to the strange phenomenon and asked, "Father, what's going on?"

The torrent may appear slow, but it is actually devastating, pushing even large boulders like trucks as they are swept downstream.

"Zheng!"

Previously, when she stood here, the magical power within her body did not recover naturally; instead, it continued to decrease.

With a slight adjustment, the changes were quite noticeable.

She raised a small question again.

The reason why adventurers from the upper realm are so powerful is that while the rules limit their cultivation, they also grant them "the strongest theoretical value at the seventh realm."

Tang Yuan smiled and said, "The Seed of Heavenly Dao is not so easy to cultivate. Even the number of times one has successfully obtained the Seed of Heavenly Dao is only a handful; and there has never been a case of someone successfully obtaining and cultivating it, and then winning the game!"

Zuo Chang repeated what he had told Feibiao.

Zuo Chang nodded: "You have become a target of a certain team. They can kill you and then drag your corpse back to fertilize the seeds."

Ah. Interesting.

Mayumi stood up.

She looked around and said, "I was just thinking of stretching my muscles."

Chapter 164

The Forest of Whispers, within a square basin.

Three adventurer teams gathered here: "Sword of Dawn," "Eight Spiders," and "Triple Gate."

The book club publicly stated its willingness to support the winner of the Whispering Forest as the lord of Mailbox City.

This news made all the adventure groups in the Mailbox Department eager to try their luck, and it also put the Divine Sound Society on alert.

Arc Light immediately sent people to cause trouble. Of course, she didn't think the team she was supporting would receive assistance from the reading group; she just didn't want things to go smoothly.

As long as the city lord of the mailbox department remains undecided, there will be a day of good news.

There can only be one winner, but the Divine Sound Society supports three groups.

There are too many wolves and not enough meat, making it difficult to distribute.

It's ok.

The square basin was large enough that the three adventure groups stood in a tripod formation, each occupying a corner and doing their own thing.

They formed a defensive alliance, vowing never to infringe upon each other's rights, and whoever planted the best trees would be the winner.

Triple-door planting area.

Daoist Jiuyao looked at the tender sprouts breaking through the soil, then looked at the empty space around him, and sighed softly.

Triple Gate Adventure Team...

He was the only one left alive!

He could understand why the others were eliminated, including the father of the Nine Luminaries Daoist.

But what's the deal with that old man surnamed Mu?

He kept saying he killed Lu Li, the chief of the Heavenly King Division, and this is what he got?

They couldn't even make it through the first phase, yet they have the nerve to brag like that!

Nine Luminaries stood silently, recalling the scene that had just unfolded—

"Nine Luminaries brat, are you the only one left from your Triple Sect?"

The leader of the Dawn Sword, Yagyu, began to mock them.

"You're lucky, kid! If the three of us hadn't signed the Godly Covenant early on and formed an alliance, you would have been eliminated long ago! Now, we have no choice but to give you a hand and protect you!"

Commander Zhu of the Eight Spiders looked gloomy.

The others were also sarcastic and cynical, making Jiuyao feel increasingly embarrassed, his fingernails digging into his flesh!

What upset him even more was...

The opportunity to take off may be missed!

What kind of organization is the Divine Sound Society?

That was the greatest product of the Church of Time's split, a true powerhouse controlling a two-digit community.

In Jiu Yao's eyes, the book club, a loose organization that drifts and has no fixed abode, is worthless. How could it be as powerful as the Divine Sound Society?

Finally, there's a chance...

If I can perform well in this game...

"Ugh!"

All destroyed!

In his moment of despair, Jiu Yao's brain began to work at high speed.

He always felt that someone like him, a dragon among men, should have a bigger stage and a brighter future. He shouldn't be confined to a place like 96511, much less spend his life in a small adventure group like Triple Gate!

perhaps……

It's time for a change of scenery.

Sword of Dawn.

Eight spiders.

Ignoring the sprouting tree seeds, Jiuyao lifted his foot and walked towards where the Eight Spiders were.

He thought to himself, "The Divine Sound Society has obviously done an assessment. They only sent one person to the Triple Gate and the Sword of Dawn as a token gesture, but they sent three people to the Eight Spiders! This shows that the Eight Spiders are the ones they are supporting, and the other two are just extras."

"Since that's the case, why should I cling to this rotten wood? Do I really have to wait until everything turns to ashes before I know how to find another way out?"

While he was pondering, he had already arrived at the planting area of ​​the eight spiders.

"Hey... isn't this Nine Luminaries? What brings you here?"

The leader of the Eight Spiders is named Zhu Yuan.

He looked at Jiuyao with a cheerful smile, but there was no kindness in his eyes.

Zhu Yuan dislikes Jiu Yao very much.

To be precise—

What he disliked was his outstanding son, Michonji.

Zhu Yuan had a secret ailment he was ashamed to talk about, but which was common knowledge:

Infertility.

He has been the leader of the Eight Spiders for thirty years, married seven wives, and tried his best to cultivate the land, but always failed to reap any harvest!

Although the people of Mailbox City dared not talk about it to his face, they spread rumors behind his back, saying, "So what if he's rich and powerful? He's still going to die without an heir!"

therefore……

Whenever Zhu Yuan saw the outstanding offspring of the Threefold Immortal, he felt a nameless rage and wanted nothing more than to slap him across the face!

"Commander Zhu."

Jiuyao approached and greeted him politely.

Zhu Yuan was taken aback, noticing that the young man before him lacked any arrogance, which was quite different from his usual demeanor: "Why are you here instead of guarding your tree seed?"

"Commander Zhu, I've thought about this for a long time and I feel that the Triple Gate Adventure Team is really worthless... There are two things I want to say, but I don't know if I should."

"Just tell me."

Jiuyao bowed his head and knelt on one knee, saying earnestly, "I have wandered for half my life, only regretting that I have not met a wise ruler... If Commander Zhu does not mind, I am willing to become his godfather!"

Commander Zhu was slightly taken aback.

The other four people present were also taken aback.

This Jiuyao is extremely young, with no hair on his mouth, and lives a life of luxury and is highly valued. How could he have "wandered for half his life"?

As for the claim that he never met a wise ruler, that's even more absurd.

His father is the leader of the Triple Gate, and his ancestors were said to have been a powerful clan in a three-digit community. Even if they've declined now, they're still a force to be reckoned with. What need does he have for a wise ruler? He should just inherit the family business!

Zhu Yuan frowned deeply, unsure of how to respond.
