617 City of Immortals (1/2)
”…”
”…”
In the hall in the group of immortal tombs, the long silence exaggerated the indescribable awkward atmosphere. Only the white mist that constantly churned under the feet created a bit of liveliness in the place.
The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals headed by Daoist He Tu and the ancient immortals headed by Xuan Mo walked on two distinct rows. The two sides ignored each other, not having any eye contact. However, they all cautiously restrained their primordial spirit and magical power, not letting them out even a little bit, as if they were extremely reserved young girls or women persecuted by an extremely religious sect.
Wang Lu highly suspected that if the road could be extended indefinitely, these people might really go all the way to the end of their lives. And at the moment they die, they would still not turn their heads. If he could capture the scene where the two groups silently marched into death with a video spell, he could sell the video using the political theme with a sky-high price.
Unfortunately, this embarrassing road soon came to an end. At the end of the white mist, a magnificent palace was revealed. At this time, the Earth Immortal side finally broke the silence.
”This is the venue for the grand competition. As you can see, it is a huge venue designed to meet the needs of various events according to your plan. It covers an area of more than a few hundred miles, and with a height of more than fifty miles as well as filled with more than a thousand buildings. Including the supporting facilities, all the indicators are up to your standards—the arenas could accommodate even the battle of the level of true immortal. We welcome you to conduct a field trip later to check the specific quality.”
While saying that, Xuan Mo projected the structural map of the venue for people to see.
On Nine Regions side, He Tu and the others quietly watched but declined to comment on this magnificent venue. Based on their position, it was really inconvenient for them to say any compliments. Nevertheless, even with the most stringent standard, it was also hard for them to say any negative word about this huge venue.
The venue was more than just simple and having grand scale. When it was designed, it was made by several Supremes of Deity Stage that were experts in engineering under the overall direction from Wang Lu who tasked them with an almost impossible mission. It was no less difficult than the flood and famine divine ship worth one billion spirit stones that could survive the age of chaos once fantastically proposed by Shengjing Sect… This facility not only required strong foundation, which could accommodate the highest level of fighting but also meet the very complex and specific requirements for various other events.
For example, food competition even required a storage room that could achieve the ability of 'absolute freshness'. The hunting venue required a complete ecosystem of birds, beasts, plants, insects, and fish, which could form their own ecosystem.
At that time, when the proposal was being considered, some members of the Organizing Committee suggested that the design was clearly provocative. However, Wang Lu successfully refuted them using the argument of 'Even if their faces are badly beaten, those stuck up and arrogant Earth Immortals would still strongly support the building of the venue. And if they agree to the design but could not execute it perfectly, then we could have an excuse if we lose…'
However, it seemed that the latter part of the argument was useless now. Using the mysterious remarkable ability of 'creating something out of nothing' of the group of immortal tombs, these Earth Immortals actually completed this architectural marvel in less than a month.
After a long time, Daoist He Tu sighed. ”It's really hard on you.”
Xuan Mo chuckled. ”With the magical ability of creating something out of nothing, it's not really hard. It's not as difficult as creating a world in the immortal cultivation dream…”
However, as soon as she finished speaking, she immediately heard Bai Ze sneer and say, ”It's not really hard? Xuan Mo, how could you treat it so lightly? How could physical objects be equal to objects in the immortal dream? It would be nice if this City of Immortals is built in the immortal dreamland. Unfortunately, these wastes are incompetent and suspicious, they refused to believe us! To create things in the real world, it would cost more than one hundred percent of the magical power! Moreover, it is obvious that you guys were the one who put forward the design blueprint, but we were the one responsible for the construction work, during which, you could take advantage of this time to do special training. It was indeed a really good calculation!”
Before his voice even fell, a young man's voice came to retort him, ”At the beginning, in order to design the blueprint, our team had been struggling for more than ten days and nights, racking our brains until we were all exhausted. Solely the number of designers who committed blood and died alone had reached thirty people, there were even more Daoist Masters of Deity Stage whose primordial spirits routed, body perished, and dao disappeared! You guys merely lost a bit of strength, so what qualifications do you have to talk like that in front of us?”
Upon hearing this, Bai Ze was furious. ”What nonsense! Just those blueprints could kill more than thirty people? Do you think we're idiots!”
Wang Lu sneered. ”Don't believe it? Then you can see it yourself!”
With that, he took a stack of files from his mustard seed bag, unfolded the top one, and read aloud, ”Daoist Master Mo Yu, Standing Member of Design Committee of Union of Ten Thousand Immortals, an outstanding comprehensive designer, died in Evian Valley on the XXth day of the XX calendar year of Nine Regions due to ineffective medical treatment at the age of 622. He is scheduled to be buried at XXth day of the XX calendar year of Nine Regions at Evian Valley. Hereby his obituary...
With that, he began to show the file to the people. The file was stamped with the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals' red seal, which was particularly eye-catching.
The obituary notice authenticated by the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals naturally could not be faked. Even though this 'newly formed' organization was new to the Earth Immortals, they at least knew that the authority of this organization was much higher than that of the individual, and that the documents with official seal were not to be trifled with.
The Union of Ten Thousand Immortals of Nine Regions were also similarly dumbfounded, because even Daoist He Tu himself did not know. What was so special with this Daoist Master Mo Yu who spared no effort to the task until death put an end to him? They were even more baffled that the seal of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals could actually be in this unfathomable obituary.
While the crowds were staring at him, Wang Lu opened the files one after another and pronounced the name of the deceased.
Daoist Hong Luo, Daoist Master Jin Jing… Every obituary was stamped with the red seal symbolizing the supreme authority of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Every time they saw such an obituary, several Supreme level Elders could not help but look at He Tu, but He Tu would just look up and ignore them. This was a completely unthinkable act for the head of the Union of Ten Thousand Immortals famous for his earnest and conscientious working attitude.
