Chapter 368: Get out of the Way, Let the Professional Do It!
Translator: Subudai11 Editor: Chrissy
In countless people's consternation, w.a.n.g Lu finally finished his report. And at this time, the noise from the several elders behind him also came to an end. From their quarrel, w.a.n.g Lu clearly heard that the disciplinary elder, according to the sect's regulation, had seized all of his Master's ill gotten gain. The several protests from his master were all rebuffed, which forced her to swallow this bitter fruit. And seeing that her face looked like someone who had just gotten raped, Fang He was also helpless and did not investigate further.
w.a.n.g Lu could not help but inwardly sneer. His Third Uncle has thought too simple of w.a.n.g Wu. If that person has just been really robbed of her money, she definitely would not show that kind of look. Her att.i.tude right now could only be explained by one thing: she lied about her ill gotten gains! The ten million spirit stones that were seized by the Third Uncle were completely insignificant to her! The advertising fees that those sponsors that gave her were not a mere ten million spirit stones. At least, it was just the deposit, while the rest was absolutely higher than that. Actually, when one thought about it, how could the advertis.e.m.e.nt fee for the highest specification of meeting of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals be covered with merely ten million spirit stones?
However, he didn't need to say this reasoning to anyone. When he returned to the mountain later, he could slowly discuss the sharing proportion with his master. She would not be able to take advantage of him with the ads.
Moreover, after w.a.n.g Lu finished reading the ma.n.u.script, it was time for the most important agenda today: the opening of the group of immortal tombs.
The entrance of the group of immortal tombs was originally hidden at the lowest level of the ancient sword tomb. However, over the past view years, the ancient sword tomb has been fully explored and transformed. And in order to cater to today's ceremony, the appearance of a real door for the entrance has been deliberately created, and placed in this vast gra.s.sland.
If it was a single door, it would appear lonely. However, when Feng Yin lifted the key to open the immortal tomb, the entire gra.s.sland was illuminated by lights. The overgrown weeds, as well as the soil under their roots, were all subsided, and under people's amazement, a complete city rose from the ground.
Looking at the astonished eyes of the people present, the several senior committee members on the golden platform secretly nodded.
This city was actually an engineering project presented for this ceremony. Although it seemed large in scale and orderly, the project has actually just been completed three days prior. It was cast by the collaboration of several Yuanying Stage cultivators, and it could accommodate several tens of thousands of people.
This city, to a large extent, actually took its inspiration from Taobao City in Western Continent. However, the design of this city was more reasonable and orderly. The primary intention for this city was to build a large number of ancillary facilities around the endless treasure trove. One, it would facilitate the cultivators who wanted to enter the immortal tomb to look for treasure. Two, to fully realized the commercial value of the exploration of this group of immortal tombs. After experiencing Taobao City in Western Continent, no one doubted that after the group of immortal tombs was opened, they would attract the cultivators of Nine Regions. This place would surely become the most popular area in Nine Regions, and the land surrounding the entrance of immortal tomb would surely become extremely expensive.
The core of the city has already been carved up by the Five Uniques of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals before it was even operated. Of which, the two pieces of land around the entrance, which has the highest value, were evenly split between Shengjing Sect and Spirit Sword Sect. Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Kunlun Sect, and Royal Soldier Sect each has their own share on the outward extension after those two pieces of land. In fact, when Feng Yin proposed such an arrangement, he could get even more benefits by relying on w.a.n.g Lu's outstanding contribution and his authority in the Excavation Management. However, thinking about the scale and characteristics of Spirit Sword Sect, occupying too many lots would be meaningless, so it was better to be reasonable.
In addition to the already scheduled area, the city also left a lot of vacant lands. The plan was that, at the appropriate time, it would be auctioned. The proceeds of that would then be turned over to the Excavation Management to be managed.
After the emergence of the city, it was named by Feng Yin as ”Feng Du (Plentiful City)” which indicated a city with abundant harvest, but also as commemoration. Before the Age of Chaos, there was once also a bountiful city in Nine Regions called Plentiful City.
However, this Plentiful City, which has infinite future, was destined to be just a foil for today, because the entrance of the immortal tomb would be really opened next.
The key to the group of immortal tombs was held together by Daoist He Tu and Feng Yin, which they slowly inserted in the gap at the entrance. After a short but actually long wait, the heavy doors were opened, which revealed numerous lights that seemed to come from countless stars.
In the midst of the lights, there was a whirlpool-like nebula that slowly but powerfully rotated. At the same, an old voice came out from the entrance.
”Ah, after waiting for so long, I finally see the living.”
As soon as this voice fell, several people's shadows suddenly flashed to the front. Tian Lun, Zhu Ri, and Ku Qin suddenly stood beside He Tu and Feng Yin. The sect leaders of the Five Uniques of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals have gathered to confront the voice from the entrance.
No matter how much preparation the Excavation Management and the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals have done in advance, there were still many unknowns after opening the entrance. And this unknown meant risk.
w.a.n.g Lu's experience at the bottom of the Ancient Sword Tomb has more or less spread outside. The story of Sword Demon Zhong Shengming has also been well acquainted with quite a few archeology enthusiasts. At that time, the force that carried the power of four in nine heavenly tribulation was only used as a barrier. Therefore, if there were anything in this group of immortal tombs, it would also not be a surprise.
However, once there was a real danger, the present leading cultivators were naturally duty-bound to act. Just now, they have the privilege to sit in the seat of honor on the golden platform, overlooking everyone. This special privilege also meant that they have a special obligation.
Four Supremes of Unity Stage and one Peak Deity Stage—actually, after witnessing the battle against the Prophet of Holy Light Religion on Taobao City, no one thought that Feng Yin was just an ordinary Peak Deity Stage cultivator. Quite possibly, his power could even deal against a true immortal who descended to earth. After that first sentence, the voice from the entrance paused for a moment before somewhat reluctantly said.
”Don't be so nervous like that, I haven't eaten people for a really long time.”
Seeing that the five people before the entrance were without any reaction, the voice from the entrance seemed to be at a loss. ”Give me a break, after tens of thousands of years, couldn't I crack a joke? Right now, the immortal cultivation world has become this impetuous-ly profit oriented that they would not even want to accompany an old man who has just been unearthed to talk? Very well, as you wish. I'll get straight to the point.”
