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

Ruo Jinghong and the others were captivated by the magical treasures, such as the Purple Mansion and the external golden pills.

Wang Quan's mind was captivated by the mysterious Taoist scriptures.

He wants to participate in this battle of wits.

He was not after rare treasures or precious medicines, nor did he care whether he could become invincible at a certain level.

He is now only interested in—mysterious Taoist scriptures.

When Ruo Jinghong, Meiniang, and the others heard that he was going to participate in the magical battle, they were overjoyed:

"After we participated in the battle, we got a point as quickly as possible."

"Then everyone will switch sides and join your sect. You will lead us in battles, sweeping away all other sects, accumulating massive amounts of points, and exchanging them for numerous treasures."

Wang Quan shook his head: "I'm afraid we won't have the chance to join forces in this battle."

"Huh?" Ruo Jinghong and Meiniang were surprised and puzzled.

call!

Wang Quan exhaled a breath of turbid air and laughed, "Everyone, although I will participate in the battle, I will participate in the battle between those at the Purple Mansion Realm."

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong and the others were even more confused:

"You're at the Foundation Establishment stage. While I wouldn't dare say you're invincible among those at the same stage, you're definitely more powerful than most of us."

"Especially with the blessing of magical treasures, they should have few rivals."

"But... in just three short years, after you reached the Purple Mansion Realm, your Purple Mansion has not yet been refined and developed."

"When facing those veteran Purple Mansion Realm experts, I'm afraid we won't be able to withstand them."

Wang Quan nodded: "You're right."

"The problem is—this new continent is so vast that no one knows how many geniuses and prodigies are participating in this battle."

"Theoretically speaking, the Foundation Establishment Scripture has the most cultivators, and among them, there are also the most prodigies and geniuses."

"I possess a magical treasure; who can be sure that other prodigies and geniuses don't?"

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong and the others seemed to ponder: "Yes, this battle is important, and it doesn't seem impossible that some Foundation Establishment cultivators who possess magical treasures will appear."

Wang Quan continued, "After the Foundation Establishment comes the Purple Palace."

"How many Foundation Establishment cultivators are there in Stone City? How many have advanced to the Purple Mansion realm in the past few decades?"

"Not a single one."

"Everyone is accumulating resources to reach the Purple Mansion."

"Moreover, some Daoist cultivators died and disappeared before they even stepped into the Purple Mansion."

"Furthermore, cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm, while not exactly cannon fodder when opening up the polar regions, can certainly be considered high-level cannon fodder."

"If even a few more of these high-level cannon fodder die during the opening up of the land, their numbers will definitely be fewer than those at the Foundation Establishment stage."

"That way, my stress will be less."

Upon hearing this, Ruo Jinghong and the others nodded repeatedly, saying, "That makes sense."

According to Wang Quan, the number of cultivators in the Purple Mansion realm is less than that in the Foundation Establishment realm, so the competition is relatively less intense.

At this moment, everyone envied the royal power.

However, Ruo Jinghong and the others had no idea that Wang Quan's single-minded desire to reach the Purple Mansion Realm was simply because:

The Purple Mansion Realm can be exchanged for six volumes of mysterious Daoist scriptures that can be used immediately.

There is only one volume for the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"I know the mysterious Taoist scriptures are important, and there must be others who know their mysteries."

"Therefore, the competition for this mysterious Taoist scripture is definitely intense."

"There is only one volume for the Foundation Establishment Realm, making the competition extremely fierce and allowing no room for error."

"The Purple Mansion Realm has six volumes, so the competition is relatively less intense, and my chances of getting it are higher."

"Moreover, the Daoist scripture clues that can be exchanged in the Purple Mansion Realm are more than a dozen more than those in the Foundation Establishment Realm."

"If I can't get the Daoist scripture, I can get the clues to it."

Although Wang Quan believed himself to have a strong foundation and formidable strength.

However, he dared not make any promises that he could sweep everything aside in the battle of the Western Realm.

There are countless monsters in the world.

Throughout history, how many people have dared to claim to be invincible in the same realm?

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

When Wang Quan decided to participate in the magical duel, he directly registered in the second-level inner landscape and then wanted to see the rules of the duel.

As it turned out, the bigwigs above didn't explain the rules of the duel at all, but only gave a signpost, telling him to gather there three years later.

Seeing this, Wang Quan stopped overthinking and focused more on improving his foundation and acquiring materials for his Purple Mansion.

Thanks to the efforts of the tumor spirits, Wang Quan persevered, digging out their brains once or twice a day to clean them and refine them into crystal brains.

These crystal brains, filled with about half a potion, would shake erratically at the slightest movement.

Attaching these crystal brains externally can enhance intelligence.

Now, he has tens of thousands of external brains.

With the help of his many minds, he studied more spells and advanced his progress in Taoist scriptures.

This foundation is growing every day.

The enhancement of the foundation pleased the royal power.

However, this joy could not dispel his lingering worry.

The black bird flies and the rabbit runs:

Ten days...

Wang Quan gazed into the distance: "Why aren't the Golden Elixir materials for [Western Pole] City ready yet?"

"Are they planning to come at a time that's too far in the timeline?"

"When these materials arrive, I will definitely give them a good scolding."

"If they can come tomorrow, I will only offer nine-tenths of their golden elixir as a sacrifice."

Twenty days...

Wang Quan gazed into the distance: "Are these guys really that afraid of death?"

"The sooner you come, the sooner you'll be free from suffering. Don't you even understand such a simple principle?"

"If they can come tomorrow, I will only offer half of their golden cores as a sacrifice."

Thirty days...

While burning incense and praying to all directions, including the sun, moon, and stars, Wang Quan chanted, "Let the lords of the [Western Pole] family come quickly!"

"The sooner they arrive, the sooner I can reach the Purple Mansion realm and improve my cultivation."

"If they come tomorrow, I swear, I will only let them contribute some of their vital energy as a sacrifice."

Forty days...

The king no longer looks to the distance.

He silently studied Taoist scriptures, silently dug into his brain, silently watched the tumor demon brainwash and irrigate him, and silently studied various spells.

Days passed by, and as the final day for summoning the [Western Pole] family approached, the teleportation vortex turned, and the cultivators from the [Western Pole] family arrived.

There were several hundred Golden Core cultivators, and some Nascent Soul cultivators in the background.

Besides these, there were mostly Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators.

The appearance of a large group of advanced cultivators caused an uproar in Stone City, which only had Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Many cultivators, unaware of the truth, thought these experts had come to clear away the abnormal climate, and thus they all cheered with joy.

The great cultivators of the Western Extremity Clan smiled upon seeing this scene.

"Perhaps... things aren't as bad as we think?"

"There aren't any powerful cultivators here?"

"That Flower-Scattering Taoist priest must have recruited us to be used as top-tier combat power."

"In this way, we will definitely be able to gain some say."

"With our cultivation and influence, this city will fall into our hands sooner or later."

These great cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Dharma Aspect levels laughed.

Some of them possessed Daoist seals and originally cultivated in seclusion within the Ten Great Sects to avoid the dangers of the extreme regions.

At this time, they had no choice but to come due to the forced conscription by the royal authority.

At the time, they were still uneasy, fearing that they would be used as cannon fodder.

Now it seems there's great potential!

Thinking of this, many senior cultivators from the Western Extremity Clan smiled and nodded at the excited crowd.

However, their smiles froze the next moment.
