Chapter 291: Universal Board (2/2)
The moment they entered the next hall, Mo Wuji felt like he entered a marketplace. There were many cultivators around and a variety of big and small arrays display screen showing the messages from the various groups and some even displaying recruitment messages. This was exactly the same as a cultivation city’s association.
Chu Qianlou looked at those array display screens and said, ”This place is called the Universal Pier where newcomers form their groups or get recruited by groups before heading towards the Star Wars Battlefield. Therefore, if we want to go over to the Star Wars Battlefield, we have to find informations here. On the second level of the Universal Pier is where people exchange items that they want using contribution points. In the event you don’t wish to exchange for the items here, there are other buildings outside which you could exchange for items using your contribution points tool. In other words, in this place, universal contribution points are much more convenient and useful than spirit stones.
There are many approaches to earn contribution points. The easiest way would be to join the military and make use of the military power. You could also accept missions here, kill space beasts or even kill alien cultivators to earn contribution points. Alien cultivators in space have a different way of cultivating from cultivators in the Zhen Mo Continent so the way their soul dissipated upon death would be different too. This is exactly why the moment you kill an alien cultivator, you would receive contribution points. Remember to hang your universal token around your waist and not keep it inside your storage ring.”
Chu Qianlou brought Mo Wuji and the rest to the third level while she was speaking.
On the third level, Mo Wuji saw a few huge array gates. Mo Wuji could be considered to be quite knowledgeable in array gates now so in one glance, Mo Wuji was able to tell that these are voided array gates. Stepping out of these array doors would be equivalent to leaving the Zhen Mo Continent, into a new space.
”Everyone saw the huge array gates right? These are the array gates that leads to the Star Wars Battlefield. Every gate here would lead you to a position in space outside the Zhen Mo Continent and you would be faced with threats the moment you walked out of these gates,” Chu Qianlou said as she pointed to the array gates.
Mo Wuji enquired, ”Sister Chu, the Universal Hall that we are in is not in the Zhen Mo Continent anymore right?”
Chu Qianlou nodded her head,” Yes, this is the heart of the Zhen Mo Continent’s protecting array. Don’t think that the Universal Hall here is very safe because the truth was that in the space beyond the array gates here, we, Zhen Mo Continent, stationed hundreds of huge militaries with us. Otherwise, our array gates will definitely not be able to defend against the attacks from space.”
Mo Wuji sighed in his heart because regardless in the cultivation or mortal world, the peace on the surface was exchanged by countless of fresh blood. Without the hundreds of militaries stationed outside the Zhen Mo Continent’s space, Zhen Mo Continent would have been invaded like the Lost Continent.
”Then why didn’t anyone thought of entering from the Lost Continent then invade Zhen Mo Continent from the Lost Continent?” Mo Wuji felt a little odd because given the Lost Continent weak defense, it should be very easy to invade.
This time, without waiting for Chu Qianlou’s reply, a cultivator standing by the side couldn’t help but asked, ”Hehe, my friend here just arrived right? The Lost Continent and us, Zhen Mo Continent, belonged to one planet called Zhen Xing. In fact, we couldn’t be more excited if people dared to invade us from the Lost Continent because they are simply courting death…” Mo Wuji was even more curious because he really couldn’t understand as he just came over from the Lost Continent. Hold on…I barely managed to get here alive too.
Chu Qianlou explained, ”There are indeed flaws in the cultivation regulations in the Lost Continent for example the lack of spiritual energy. The moment someone invade the Lost Continent, all we needed to do is to close the Zhen Xing’s trap array and these people are as good as dead because it isn’t that easy to get from the Lost Continent to Zhen Mo. Furthermore, they wouldn’t be able to do much by staying in the Lost Continent.”
Mo Wuji finally understood what he meant. They must have had control over the huge Zhen Xing protecting array. As for people invading the Lost Continent, even if they killed a whole lot of people there, it would simply be like losing a few ants in the eyes of the Zhen Mo Continent power holder. This was exactly like what the earlier cultivator said, that they couldn’t be more excited for people to invade the Lost Continent. This was because if those trapped in the Lost Continent were not extremely strong, it would simply be a case of hitting dogs behind closed doors for cultivators of the Zhen Mo Continent.
Mo Wuji suddenly felt uncomfortable and he gradually lost his initial admiration for the power holders of Zhen Mo Continent. They were simply protecting their own personal interest instead of protecting the people of Zhen Xing when they set up such a measure.
”We can understand more on the first level and then either choose our own groups to join to enter the Star Wars Battlefield or accept a mission together to enter battlefield together,” Even though Chu Qianlou’s level of cultivation was much higher than Mo Wuji, she would still ask for Mo Wuji’s opinion.
She believed that as long as Mo Wuji don’t die in the Star Wars Battlefield, his cultivation level would most likely surpass her’s in a decade’s time.
Mo Wuji said apologetically, ”I have some matter on my hand which requires me to enter the Star Wars Battlefield alone so if I am able to make it back in time, we could enter as a group in the future. If I couldn’t make it back in time, then...forget it.”
Mo Wuji had long decided that he needed to visit the Thorny Wind Gate and because it was an extreme realm, he would naturally not bring Pang Qi and co. over with him. Otherwise, he would be harming them instead of helping them.
Pang Qi and co. heard that Mo Wuji wanted to enter the battlefield himself and a trace of disappointment flashed across all their eyes. Evidently, they were all ready to enter as a group with Mo Wuji. However, they all respected Mo Wuji’s decision and immediately expressed their agreement to work together in the future.
Mo Wuji was a very decisive person so he bade goodbye to Chu Qianlou and co. immediately after he made his decision. Because he didn’t want the rest know where he was going, he decided to find out more about the Thorny Wind Gate on his own.
…
After a couple of hours, Mo Wuji returned to the level three of the Universal Pier yet again as he was ready to enter the Star Wars Battlefield from here.
Just after Mo Wuji left, there was a yellow haired cultivator rushing to the first level as he met up with a gloomy face man who had been waiting in one of the spiritual tea room.
Just as he saw a man walking over to him, he instantly stood up and ask, ”Has he left?”
”He had just left and I’ve heard that he had been asking about the location of the Thorny Wind Gate and even bought a spatial positioning ball heading towards the Thorny Wind Gate. He left from the Spatial Gate Number 7 ,” The yellow haired cultivator replied.
