Chapter 125 Territory Establishment
"Now is the perfect time to circulate your energy and digest the essence, so don't think about doing anything bad." Russell sat down next to Mu Wanqing, removed the object from her mouth, and said teasingly.
The girl, whose mouth was finally free, responded shyly, her voice so soft it seemed to melt.
The methods Russell used on her last night were unheard of. After a night of dual cultivation, a large amount of energy had accumulated in her body. Before Russell returned, she had been circulating her cultivation technique according to the method he taught her, trying to refine and absorb this energy. Unfortunately, there was just too much of it. It had been almost half an hour since she woke up, and she still felt her abdomen was swollen.
Russell seemed to sense her embarrassment, untied her clothes, pulled her into his arms, and gently rubbed her lower abdomen. "Take it slow, no rush. You'll get used to it. Hmm—how about wearing earplugs next time?"
Mu Wanqing blushed and hummed in agreement, then nestled obediently into his arms.
She felt she could no longer live without Russell; the feeling of being completely controlled and thoroughly explored was both shameful and addictive.
Time flies, and half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Over the past two weeks, Russell's hard work day and night has finally paid off. Mu Wanqing has opened up all her meridians, her true qi has transformed into spiritual power, and her dantian has condensed the first strand of true magic power. She has taken the lead over the three of them, Tong Lao, Jiu Mozhi and Murong Fu, and has become a Qi Refining cultivator, making the three of them extremely envious.
However, this envy did not last long, because today, Russell is finally going to take over the Spirit Palace.
The main hall of Lingjiu Palace.
The atmosphere inside the hall was solemn and completely silent.
All the palace maids from the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments stood on both sides, their expressions solemn.
The island lords of the seventy-two islands and the cave lords of the three soils and six caves knelt on the ground in a dense mass, all respectfully kneeling on one knee and bowing their heads to the red-clad figure on the tiger-skin throne high above.
She leaned lazily against the tiger-skin throne, tapping the armrests with her fingers, her gaze casually sweeping over the people in the hall.
Old Wu, kneeling at the very front, had cold sweat dripping down his forehead.
In fact, a month ago, they received news from a mysterious person that the Child Granny was about to lose all her power.
They had been plotting for a long time on the seventy-two islands and thirty-six caves, discussing how to take this opportunity to attack the Spirit Palace, capture the Child Granny alive, and force her to reveal the antidote to the Life-and-Death Talisman.
Unexpectedly, the plan had barely been made when the summons from the Child Granny arrived.
Wu Laoda felt a chill run down his spine, thinking that some damned traitor had leaked the information.
Going up the mountain this time is likely to be a dead end, but if we don't go up the mountain, once the life-and-death talisman takes effect, we will be unable to live or die.
Between two evils, they chose the lesser one, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and obediently go up the mountain, prepared to be purged.
But no one could have imagined that Granny Tong had actually grown up!
Wu Laoda secretly glanced at the figure on the high seat, his mind in turmoil. Wasn't it supposed to be that his power was being dispersed? How come not only did he not lose all his power, but it seems that he has even made further progress?
What exactly is going on?
Equally perplexed was Li Qiushui, who was clinging to the rock wall like a gecko outside the cave.
Through the cracks in the stone wall, she stared intently at the old woman inside the hall, completely baffled.
It was clearly time for Tong Lao to dispel her powers. Every time she did, she was as weak as an infant, and anyone could take her life. So why was this time different? What went wrong?
She was unwilling to accept this day; she had been waiting for it for a full thirty years!
As for Granny Tong, she had already obtained the Qi circulation method of Taiji Xuanqing Dao from Russell. Although she still hadn't developed any magical power, her skill was no longer comparable to what it used to be.
She had spotted Li Qiushui outside the palace long ago, but kept quiet because she felt that Li Qiushui was nothing more than fish on a chopping board, to be killed at any time, and that there was no need to delay Russell's coronation ceremony for such a trivial matter.
Thinking of this, the old woman lazily got up, strolled to the front of the group, and slowly said, "Do you know why I summoned you here today?"
Boss Wu and the others exchanged bewildered glances, then quickly bowed their heads, saying, "Your subordinates are foolish and humbly request your guidance, Granny!"
"Grandma is getting old and no longer wants to manage Lingjiu Palace and your rabble, so she has found you a new master. You must serve him well from now on and not be negligent."
What?!
Upon hearing this, apart from the palace maids of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments who already knew the inside story, Wu Laoda, Sangtugong, Xuanhuangzi, and the others looked at each other in disbelief, their hearts filled with shock.
The Lingjiu Palace is about to change its leader!
Could it be that the Old Woman is nearing the end of her life? Yet, judging from her complexion, she is clearly several times better than before. Could it be a final burst of energy before death?
Before they could figure it out, they heard Granny Tong continue, "Junior brother, why don't you come out and see the empire your senior sister has built for you?"
Junior brother?
Just as everyone was wondering, a gentle voice rang out in the hall: "Thank you for your trouble, Senior Sister."
The sound wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly, as if it were right beside them.
Everyone looked up at the sound and saw that a man had somehow taken up the tiger-skin throne where the old woman had been sitting.
The man was dressed in a long black robe, with a handsome face and a relaxed posture, and there was nothing out of place about him, as if he was meant to sit there.
In an instant, everyone present, including Li Qiushui who was peeking through the stone wall outside the hall, had the same thought: Could this person be Tong Lao's maid?
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
While everyone was still in a daze, the palace maids of the Nine Heavens and Nine Departments, led by the four swordsmen Mei, Lan, Ju, and Zhu, were the first to react, and they all knelt down and respectfully paid their respects.
Wu Laoda and the others were startled and quickly knelt down, preparing to perform a grand ceremony. However, before their knees even touched the ground, an invisible force suddenly arose and lifted them up.
"No need for formalities," Russell gestured for Mei Jian and the others to rise, then turned his gaze to Wu Laoda and the others: "Besides announcing to the world that I have taken over Lingjiu Palace, there is another matter I have summoned you all here for."
As he spoke, he swung out a palm strike. Under the blow, Boss Wu and the others felt a warm breeze, followed by an indescribable sense of ease.
"The Life and Death Talisman—the Life and Death Talisman has been broken!" The old man next to him tested his fists and feet, and then shouted out in surprise.
"Mine has been unlocked too!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
In an instant, cheers rose and fell in the hall. The island lords and cave masters of the seventy-two islands and thirty-six caves checked themselves and were overjoyed to find that the life-and-death talisman that had tormented them for many years had disappeared completely in an instant!
The old woman watched this scene without any change in expression. Now that the master of Lingjiu Palace was Russell, she naturally wouldn't care how these servants were dealt with. The only thing she wanted to do now was to do one thing.
Amid the cheers, Tong Lao's lips curled into a cold smile as she walked to Russell's side and said, "Junior Brother, please continue with your work. Senior Sister will be right back."
Russell nodded without saying anything more.
Half an hour later.
At the summit of Misty Peak, a sea of clouds surges and the wind howls.
Russell stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the vast Lingjiu Palace below. Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, the flying eaves and brackets appeared and disappeared, like a fairyland.
Mu Wanqing stood behind him, dressed in simple white clothes, her beauty as exquisite as a painting.
Before long, three figures arrived together.
-
The person in the lead, dressed in fiery red, was radiant with energy. Behind her were Kumārajīva and Murong Fu.
Russell looked at the Old Woman and asked curiously, "What did Senior Sister do?"
He had already received a notification from the system that Li Qiushui's fate had shifted, and the two lottery opportunities, one white and one green, had arrived in his account. It seemed that Tong Lao hadn't killed her; otherwise, the shift in fate caused by a direct kill would have been far smaller than crippling her without killing her.
The old woman walked up to him and said in a cheerful tone, "I crippled that bitch's martial arts, broke her limbs, cut off her tongue, planted life-and-death talismans all over her body, scratched her face, and placed a bronze mirror in front of her, so that she can neither live nor die."
Russell was astonished.
As expected of an old rival, he struck with such ruthlessness.
Seeing that Russell and Tong Lao had finished their conversation, Murong Fu stepped forward at the opportune moment, cupped his hands and said, "Brother Luo, the lords of the Thirty-Six Caves and the lords of the Seventy-Two Islands have all been sent down the mountain."
Kumārajīva also put his hands together and added, "All the palace maids of the Spirit Palace have been moved to the mountainside. As per your instructions, not a single one has been left behind."
Russell nodded and said softly, "Then let's begin."
As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand, and an ancient-looking token materialized in his palm. He threw it out, and it burst forth with dazzling golden light.
The golden light spread in all directions like ripples, instantly enveloping the entire Misty Peak.
A deep hum resounded throughout the heavens and earth.
Immediately afterwards, a series of messages began to circulate in Russell's mind:
[Sect Location: Misty Peak, Lingjiu Palace (Already Recorded)]
[Sect Name: Free and Unfettered Heavenly Palace (Already Entered)]
[Sect Structure: Main Hall (manifesting), Martial Arts Arena (manifesting), Scripture Pavilion (manifesting), Discipline Hall (manifesting), Alchemy Room (manifesting), Disciple's Quarters (manifesting) ————]
To everyone's astonishment, the Lingjiu Palace below began to undergo earth-shattering changes, with one magnificent building after another rising from the ground!
The original palaces and pavilions were reshaped and expanded by an invisible force, with more exquisite eaves and brackets, thicker columns, and more solid walls.
The training ground was transformed from an open space into a wide plaza paved with bluestone, with a towering dueling platform standing in the center.
A seven-story pagoda-style library suddenly appeared out of thin air, its glazed tiles gleaming in the sunlight.
The Discipline Hall was separated from the side hall and became a solemn black stone hall.
Herb fields, alchemy rooms, and weapon-refining rooms also appeared out of thin air, with wisps of green smoke rising from them.
Wherever the golden light passed, the old appearance was transformed into a new one.
The whole process took no more than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea. As the golden light gradually faded, the spiritual palace below had completely changed its appearance.
Oh, no, it should be called the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Palace now.
Russell stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the newly renovated Heavenly Palace below, a slight smile playing on his lips.
[Chat Group Channel]
Russell: "[Image]"
Russell: "How so? My new house, buddy."
Asule: "It's more beautiful than the palace of the Lower Tang Kingdom."
Xiao Yan: "?"
Xiao Yan: "Dude, you opened it again?"
It can only be said that Xiao Yan understands Russell well; he could tell at a glance that Russell had acquired a new treasure.
Russell: "The guild creation token in the system shop."
Xiao Yan: "Alright————"
Xiao Yan: "[Image]"
This is a picture of a desert, vast and boundless, a golden expanse stretching as far as the eye can see, with no end in sight.
Xu Qi'an: "Have we arrived at the Tagor Desert? Has the Queen made her appearance yet?"
Xiao Yan: "I just arrived."
Seeing the word "Queen" gave Xiao Yan a headache.
To obtain the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame, Queen Medusa is indispensable.
The problem is, he really doesn't want to have anything to do with other women anymore. He already made a mistake in dealing with Yun Yun, and he can't afford to make the same mistake again.
Russell: "Speaking of which, Klein, how's it going on your end? Hopefully you haven't been caught out by any trouble?"
Klein: "Brother Luo, watch your words!"
Without any hesitation, Klein hid above the gray fog inside the room.
He deleted Russell's comment with the speed of someone who'd been single for two lifetimes, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Almost, a single oversight in all the careful planning almost led to disaster.
Russell: "Mine."
Ye Fan: "Waiting.JPG"
While the group members were either playing through the storyline or conducting research, the great Emperor Ye was waiting for the arrival of the Kowloon Coffin Flight.
His stage is Beidou; only Beidou's abundant resources and heritage can feed this bottomless pit of his.
Although there are many traditions on Earth, they have nothing to do with him. A short distance apart, they are like two different worlds.
After closing the chat group, Russell had also received the information sent back by the guild creation order.
The first thing he cares about is spiritual energy.
At this moment, within the guild territory recognized by the guild establishment order, the abundance of spiritual energy far surpasses that of the previously visited Jade Dynasty world, comparable to a blessed land in a Xianxia world. This means that guild disciples within this area can skip martial arts training and directly cultivate immortality.
Apart from the Scripture Pavilion, which Russell needed to fill himself, other living spaces such as the Alchemy Room and Weapon Forging Room all had the most basic introductory methods.
And then there is————
[Guild Leader's Privilege: All Laws Return to Their Origin, the Great Dao Returns to Its Source]
[All methods return to their origin, the Great Dao returns to its source: The sect leader is the core of the sect. Whatever the sect disciples cultivate, gain, or comprehend, the sect leader also gains and comprehends.]
Concise and concise.
The core meaning is singular: to gather the strength of the entire sect to support the sect leader alone.
Although the Heavenly Palace is nothing in terms of its current scale—even if all its members were stacked together, they wouldn't equal Russell's size—the problem is that the gang's location can be changed and expanded, and the number of disciples can also be increased.
This time it was only the three thousand palace maids on Misty Peak, but if one day in the future Russell expands the Free and Unfettered Heavenly Palace to the entire Tianlong World, then he would be supported by the talents and resources of an entire world.
This is truly being supported by the world.
"Gentlemen, prepare to welcome the arrival of a golden age." Russell took a deep breath. Once he had fully digested the Triton, it was time for him to explore the new world.
