Cultivation of Immortality: This is what unorthodox methods are like.

Including Ruo Jinghong, none of the cultivators wanted to go to the Underworld or the Second World to fight.

Because these two places are simply too dangerous.

Especially the underworld.

When they first arrived, they went to the second layer of the world and concluded that it was the most dangerous.

However, after waiting for a long time in the far west, everyone went to the underworld.

As a result, even this group of Daoist cultivators almost died and perished after entering the Underworld.

because:

The underworld corresponding to the far west is truly terrifying.

The underworld is the most terrifying; the second layer of the world is filled with endless evil, which also makes everyone despair.

Therefore, everyone agreed that it is best to strive in the real world.

Hmm...although abnormal weather in the real world is also dangerous.

Wang Quan frowned: "This is inappropriate!"

"Based on the data you've analyzed, the number of cultivators who need to go out and clear away the abnormal weather each day is not that many."

"Since the other cultivators are idle anyway, why not let them go to the second layer of the world and slowly cleanse the evil!"

Ma Qingqiu shook his head: "Hundreds of thousands of ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators, without the 'Scripture of Salvation,' would struggle for a year, but it wouldn't be as effective as us going in and casually reciting some of the 'Scripture of Salvation.'"

"We've decided to have them work in shifts, day and night, to clean up the abnormal weather!"

Seeing this, Wang Quan didn't know how to offer any advice.

Finally, he looked at the assembled cultivators: "Gentlemen, who is willing to come with me to the Underworld to fight?"

Even those who had witnessed his abilities, such as Ruo Jinghong and Su Mali, chuckled and said, "Let's play it safe for now and slowly build our careers in the real world!"

"You have acquaintances in the Underworld. You can go there first and establish yourself. Then you can help us get an identity so we can assist you."

Seeing this, Wang Quan had no choice but to nod and say, "Alright!"

"However, when everyone is dealing with abnormal weather, they must not forget to hold a sacrificial ceremony."

Although the sacrificial ceremony no longer awards points.

However, all the Daoist cultivators could clearly sense that this sacrificial ceremony was extremely important to Stone City.

Therefore, even though they could not see any benefits, everyone still maintained the sacrificial ceremony every three days without fail.

At that time, all the spirits, cultivators, and martial artists in the city will participate.

During the sacrifice, anyone who does not offer sandalwood will be suppressed and slowly die, becoming a superior material.

-----------------

Night fell:

Whether they are spirits, martial artists, or even newly initiated magic practitioners who can barely cast spells in the city, they all received the conscription order.

They were organized into teams and divided into zones.

Some were busy in the city, acting as logistics personnel, while others had to stand on the city walls and arrow towers to cast spells.

Another group will leave the city to fight against the abnormal weather outside.

All of these factors made the entire Stone City turbulent and bustling.

From within the den of extravagance came shouts: "We're going to die tomorrow, why not indulge ourselves tonight?"

"A lavish getaway to the death! Everything is free if you come!"

"Free today, free tomorrow, and free again the day after tomorrow!"

"It's better to live a life of debauchery than to die a miserable death!"

Whoosh!

Many spirits, martial artists, and even orthodox cultivators flocked to the den of iniquity.

Not long after, they came out shivering, clutching their backs, with dark circles under their eyes. They leaned against the wall, panting heavily, then chuckled and went to sleep.

Under the cover of night, some cultivators who were about to leave the city to fight the next day formed small groups.

They wore cloaks, carried candles, and entered the small rooms inside the stone building.

These stone buildings were the residences that Wang Quan and others obtained by using their authority, and then they built structures similar to earthen buildings.

These stone buildings, one inside the other, can accommodate hundreds of thousands of living beings.

The cloaked monks huddled together in the small room, exchanging secrets.

They used coded language and written communication to discuss tomorrow's battle.

"If they use me as cannon fodder, I'll spit on them even if it means my death!"

These monks were all forcibly conscripted from other places.

After they arrived, they spontaneously organized themselves, wanting to unite against the monks who controlled them.

Besides these monks who united together, there were also some monks who acted alone.

These cultivators were mostly experts in the Foundation Establishment stage.

Many of them completed their foundation building process with 108 foundation-building spiritual lights.

Although they are not as strong as Daoist cultivators, they are far more powerful than other Foundation Establishment cultivators.

They are loners and disdain forming groups.

However, they also observed other Foundation Establishment cultivators, and then secretly formed societies to search for the hidden differences between themselves and the Dao Seal cultivators.

They had heard of the Daoist script and the authority it granted.

In fact, some monks knew:

The reason they are weaker than Daoist cultivators is because of Daoist cultivation.

They also knew that if they didn't obtain the Dao Seal before practicing the technique, they would never obtain it again in their entire lives.

They knew the reason for the gap, but they were unwilling to accept it.

They wanted to find other ways to bridge the gap between themselves and the Daoist cultivators.

Some powerful secret societies have even secretly used methods to scheme against Daoist cultivators, slicing them into paper-thin slices to observe and study them bit by bit, hoping to find something special about them.

Under the cover of night in Stone City, Ruo Jinghong led a group of cultivators to help Wang Quan prepare materials.

Five-colored altars, sandalwood crafted with special magic, and a large number of magical artifacts were all piled up around the royal palace.

With everything prepared, the king ascended the platform to perform the ritual and enter the underworld.

Ruo Jinghong took a deep breath: "Fellow Daoist Wang Quan, I feel you'd better not go."

"The underworld is still too dangerous!"

"I asked my friends in other cities and found that out of 108,000 cities, only a little over 3,000 had established outposts in the Yin Palace corresponding to the far west."

"These more than three thousand strongholds were personally built by the headquarters of the unorthodox sects and the orthodox sects."

"Even with the capabilities of so many sects, they can only establish one stronghold each; we certainly can't!"

Wang Quan laughed: "The underworld in the far west is different from other places!"

"A high cultivation level and strong strength don't guarantee you can operate within the Netherworld of the Far West!"

"When doing things in the underworld of the far west, one still has to be mindful of the ways of the ghosts."

Ruo Jinghong blinked: "I hope so!"

She knew that the king had some ghostly connections in the underworld; but could those ghostly connections be effective across such a long distance?

Wang Quan laughed: "You all descended into the underworld, only to return in a sorry state."

"As for me, I was well-fed and watered, and was politely escorted back by a group of ghost brothers and sisters."

"What you can't do, I might be able to do!"

Ruo Jinghong nodded: "Yes!"

"Anyway, you need to be careful!"

"If things go wrong, let's escape back first!"

"Out of ten billion cities, apart from the sect headquarters, no other city has established a base in the Underworld; it's not shameful that we can't!"

Wang Quan nodded: "Alright, I'm going to perform the ritual to enter the underworld!"
