The originally serene and sunny sky had turned pitch black.
The ground shook violently, and the familiar staff mbers had all disappeared. The Martial Arts Miniature World was a world controlled by the Fifth Order Divine Instrunt, Mirror Twelve, but today, apocalyptic changes had occurred.
"Hahaha..."
Soone was laughing loudly outside.
"Eastern Demon Sect, I have won..."
The changes were still underway.
...
Immortal Sect.
At the closing ceremony, many sighed in relief, still enjoying the last monts, although so had already stopped watching.
After all, a month and a half of competition was enough for everyone.
But soon, everyone's phones, the TVs on the streets, and various other ports were flooded with the new ssage.
The Martial Arts Miniature World had lost contact, Divine Mirror Twelve had malfunctioned, sending all the staff out of the competition scene and then took control of everything without making contact with anyone.
There was an accident.
...
The sun, moon, and stars outside had vanished, and all that could be seen was a stretch of inky darkness.
Fortunately, quite a few students knew spells, so the surrounding scenes were illuminated by various Illumination Techniques they conjured.
Students who had been living in separate rooms now gathered in small groups, keeping a close but cautious distance from each other, ready to offer support at a mont's notice.
An invisible force enveloped the entire Minor World, preventing anyone from leaving, including using spells to send ssages.
All twenty-three Spiritual Springs had withered, the connection to the heaven and earth's Spiritual Energy was unfelt, and everything seed to have plumted into a nightmare.
"Take the sword,"
Little Swallow handed the Clearwater Egret Sword to ng Yu, and ng Yu took it without hesitation.
In the face of danger, it was natural to stick with those one was close to. Key school students, many of whom knew each other from their daily lives, ford one team, while others grouped by region to prepare for the crisis.
ng Yu hadn't made many friends over the past month, but Little Swallow had t quite a few like-minded individuals. Their team of twenty-seven welcod ng Yu's inclusion, as they were well aware of his combat strength, which was underestimated within the entire Martial Arts Miniature World.
For instance, the Red Leaf Wooden Sword had been replaced by the Clearwater Egret Sword, he wore a piece of Protective Armor, and he was prepared with Alchemical Elixirs and Spirit Talismans.
Most of Little Swallow's team were girls, and though their combat strength was slightly weaker, even with the participation of so Flower Guardians, they were very hopeful for a leader to guide them.
After all, the sounds of fighting from outside, the shouts of the Eastern Demon Sect, had been heard by everyone. And on a daily basis, everyone had seen films like "The Great Escape," "Resident Evil," and various other chaotic tales from different worlds.
From a distance, the sound of arguing could be heard; it was two groups disputing over the dicinal pills in the pharmacy. They had thankfully not yet co to blows.
This ti, after passing through the Light Gate to enter the Martial Arts Miniature World, aside from the registered items, no one was allowed to bring various Storage Bags. dicines and Magical Treasures had to be registered, which didn't seem like an issue until the crisis hit and resources were found to be insufficient.
High school students of the Immortal Sect, though living in a greenhouse, were often subjected to various crisis trainings: what to do if external cultivators invaded the Immortal Sect or how to respond after a war broke out.
The two groups of students weren't fighting for the drugs but for the control authority. Facing a crisis, many had their own ways of dealing with it and absolutely didn't want to follow others' directives or be commanded.
"Ah Yu, what on earth has happened?"
Little Swallow was a bit scared, and ng Yu could only respond with a wry smile.
Since the monuntal shift, twelve hours had passed, and ng Yu had no idea what had occurred outside, but it was clear it wasn't anything good.
So said that the Myriad Gods Sect had used a massive weapon to destroy the planet of the Immortal Sect. Fortunately, everyone was protected by Divine Mirror Twelve and had narrowly escaped disaster. Now, they were in flight.
So say that an enemy's master has infiltrated the Minor World and is currently sabotaging it; people outside are trying to save us, and reinforcents will soon arrive.
Others say, don't worry, it's just the Fifth Order Divine Instrunt, Divine Mirror Twelve, that has malfunctioned. It was damaged in a great battle in the past and has been operating continuously, so many issues, etc., are just technical adjustnts.
Anyway, there are all sorts of different claims, which is also the reason for the argunts over there. If you're not even sure of the level of the crisis, how should you respond?
"Don't worry too much; there's nothing to fear,"
ng Yu muttered quietly, then turned his gaze to the lotus seeds on the hundred words.
A deep sense of crisis swept over him.
The current situation was a major event.
The Immortal Sect's high-stakes exam league had been held for thousands of years. Although there had been disturbances, under the protection of the Fifth Order Divine Instrunt, Divine Mirror Twelve, and rigorous maintenance, such a critical event had never occurred, and now, it could only an that sothing bad was happening.
He rembered the voices that ca from outside, the ha-ha-ha laughter, and the ntion of the Eastern Demon Sect; perhaps it really was possible that an enemy had invaded?
So, should he enhance his power?
Or rather, if not now to enhance, then when?
He still had one hundred!
His divine sense settled on two options.
The first one, Wind-Slicing Strike, was a casual move he had been practicing lately, with substantial power.
The second, alchemy.
With the Shaoyang Mysterious Skill, if he placed the lotus seeds with hundredfold strength, the warning was still that he would explode, so now, he could choose a skill that hadn't been enhanced yet, which were these two.
Wind-Slicing Strike was for offense.
If enemies ca, I would strike with one sword, shattering all spells with a single blow!
But, as a fifth layer Qi Cultivator, even if he achieved hundredfold strength, he could at most touch the Golden Core from Foundation Establishnt. If the other party could kill a Fifth Order Divine Instrunt, more powerful than a Nascent Soul, would his increased combat power be useful?
Alchemy ant playing it safe.
Besides providing support for friends, another aspect was to tell powerful enemies that ca, "I have value!"
For more than half a year, ng Yu had been following Old Liefire, learning various alchemy knowledge and becoming familiar with the basic techniques of Fire Elent alchemy. Old Liefire was skilled in using different flas and temperatures to refine various alchemical elixirs, which ng Yu had also learned. If he were to take the exam for a First Grade Alchemist now, of course, he would not pass, but after achieving Sword Intent with the Fire Crow Sword Technique, he could still manage to produce One Yang Pills and Second Turn Marrow-Cleansing Pills. What about now, with hundredfold alchemy?
ng Yu's hundredfold strength wasn't limited to enhancing martial skills; it could be applied to other areas, too. For instance, if an alchemist were enhanced, it would undoubtedly increase his personal value.
There were many alchemists in the Immortal Sect, but the higher up you went, the scarcer they beca. Although ng Yu was only at the basics now, after hundredfold enhancent, he estimated that he could at least reach the level of a Third Grade Alchemist—aside from talent and such, alchemy requires material wastage and daily honing etc. With hundredfold enhancent, a Third Grade Alchemist would be accepted or treated well by any power.
In terms of alchemy, improvent was definitely more cost-effective than cultivation, economically speaking.
Yes, using the hundredfold, although it's a pity, a person only lives once. If one dies without utilizing the enhancent, that would truly be silly!
Which option should he choose?
Of course, if he chose either of these two, he would truly have been kicked in the head by a donkey!
Hundredfold, oh hundredfold, he went to prison for this, and was it just for such trivialities?
From the very start, he had prepared a definite enhancent for the hundredfold.
What he was about to choose now was one of the Immortal Techniques popular among middle-aged and elderly students as an elective course in middle school.
It had a very low barrier to entry, and the cultivation technique's effects were vouched for by Spirit-Transforming Cultivators. Teachers instructed students not to waste their ti learning it, as it was rely a consumption of one's life. Historically, only a very few individuals ever succeeded, but it was still relentlessly promoted by the Immortal Sect. Many middle-aged and elderly people felt they might possibly succeed, preferring to cultivate properly rather than rob or practice Forbidden Techniques. Until their death, they always believed they had a chance. It was known as the Immortal Sect's stabilizer, and the biggest scam among Immortal Techniques.
Amidst myriad transformations and divine skills, I only ask, can it grant rebirth?
Growing Golden Lotus!
