Chapter 1157: Chapter 729: The Kings' Plan, The Birth of a New Thunder Emperor_2 Chapter 1157: Chapter 729: The Kings' Plan, The Birth of a New Thunder Emperor_2 Upon learning that forces believed to be from the Holy Land had broken into that Land of Evil Omen, they had immediately directed their attention there.
When they caught sight of the Ancient Guidance Palace, many Immortal Kings couldn't help but narrow their eyes sharply, their strength and vision laid bare here; naturally, they recognized the origin of this ancient temple at first glance.
“It seems the Holy Land really has leveled that Ancient Land,”
From the depths of the outer universe, a voice arose, filled with emotion.
“What are your thoughts, my fellows? Feel free to share, so we can all hear…”
As this voice fell, another voice rang out, deep with a few sharp edges.
“This one will speak my own views first.
Rumor has it the Ancient Guidance Palace is related to the dark turmoil, but there are also whispers that it may have ties to that Ultimate Ancient Land within The Boundary Sea. Now that one is right here, we ought to deliberate carefully!”
“Deliberate? You just want to snatch it for yourself, don't you? Have you not considered that the object belongs to the Holy Land? Forget about you acting alone; even if I joined you, what good would it do?
Do not forget the fates of Ao Sheng and the others.
The Master of the Holy Land may not have appeared in many years, but he is certainly not a soft-handed benevolent believer.
On the contrary, once he makes a move, Kings perish, unable to escape with their Primordial Spirits intact, much more ruthless than we are!”
A grand voice of a woman appeared and immediately countered.
“The Ancient Guidance Palace is right here; are we just supposed to watch as it slips away right under our noses?”
“What else can be done? Everyone knew from day one that the Ancient Guidance Palace was situated atop that Ancient Land deep within the Immortal Domain… What? Those chaotic lives that escaped from the Dark Cage, you didn't dare to provoke, but now you insist on dragging us into provoking an existence we should not? What are your intentions? If we followed your words, wouldn't we be simply marching to our deaths?”
The Female Immortal King was very displeased, thinking someone was entertaining absurd ideas. She thought it was sufficient to just watch from the sidelines; as for the opportunities that may lie within the halls of that palace, she didn't care, knowing that not everyone had an urgent pursuit of power.
Of course, it wasn't that the Female Immortal King had no thoughts at all, but after weighing various pros and cons, she felt it was best to play it safe.
“Pingyao Immortal King, for all your might as an Immortal King, you always seem so timid. The terror of that Land of Evil Omen should be clearer to you than anyone.
Inside, there lies an unimaginable existence.
Even though the Master of the Holy Land may have narrowly triumphed over it, we all must have felt how intense the battle before was.
If not trying our luck now, are we just waiting for the great reckoning to come?”
The Female Immortal King fell into a brief silence and, after a while, her decisive voice sounded, “What others think is their business; this one has decided not to meddle in this affair, farewell.”
With the departure of the Female Immortal King, the depths of the universe once again sank into silence, growing somewhat cold.
“Perhaps we should find a time to go and have a look, express our respect to the Master of the Holy Land with our visit, see what he thinks, and then plan accordingly!”
After a moment, the first Immortal King who had spoken tentatively suggested.
“That's a good idea,” another voice replied, different from the previous vigorous vitality, sounding more ancient, and as if there was a hint of the aura of death circulating, “We should make contact and see if an understanding can be reached with the Master of the Holy Land; if not, we can discuss subsequent actions…
“The compassion of women, not grasping at the opportunity that comes once in a thousand years, let's not even mention if the Master of the Holy Land will meet us.
Even if we get an audience, stalling just a little time, it's quite likely things will be back to normal by then.
When it comes time for another plan, what plan?”
The aggressive Immortal King voiced his dissatisfaction.
“Big brother, this Ancient Ship looks formidable, but why is it moving so slowly? This… this… I might as well walk myself!”
Above the city.
Qin Hao frowned at the forward speed, which was comparable to that of a turtle, and he couldn't help muttering under his breath.
“I'm not sure either; it seemed quite fast on the way here.”
The response still came with a shake of the head.
Shi Hao was also puzzled.
Unclear as to why the flight speed on their return could be reduced to barely stronger than walking.
Was it due to this Ancient Ship being unlike others, which didn't require manual control and could sail automatically by just inputting the destination into the Divine Sense?
After all, an Ancient Ship like this was something he had never encountered before.
“`
But, speaking of which, not only had the matter been perfectly resolved this time, but a sizeable gain in the form of an ancient temple had been obtained; Shi Hao wasn't concerned about the issue of speed.
He had been running at full strength all this time, and now that he could relax for a bit, it didn't seem like such a bad way to enjoy the moment.
“If it's slow, then let it be slow. I estimate that after this stretch, the speed will increase.”
Qin Hao felt helpless but could only nod in agreement.
Having been locked in the ancient temple for so long, he was eager to go home the moment he got out.
Feeling the slight increase in experience points, Jiang Hui nodded with satisfaction in the village.
Although the increase in experience points was not significant, the accumulation over time was considerable.
Even an army of ants could vanquish a large elephant.
It wasn't in vain that he dispatched all the genius youths of the village and deliberately set the speed of the Life Ancient Ship to be extremely slow.
Under his coercion and inducement, the nine monsters reluctantly agreed to enter the Dark Cage again.
As for what Jiang Hui had said, they did not take it seriously, even the old man's head did the same, since it sounded too astonishing.
Throughout history, who could tamper with the insides of the Dark Cage? Let alone keeping them conscious.
That sounded like an obvious exaggeration, not to be taken at face value.
Indeed, it would undoubtedly be a direct confrontation with the existence in the darkness, and while their new master's strength was certainly formidable,
circumstances could overpower individuals. Compared to immediate ascension to paradise, they weren't opposed to the idea of degeneration, especially since there had been precedents, and it wasn't out of the question that the Dark Cage could collapse once again.
Of course, the most important reason was that they didn't want to die.
It's better to live, as they say, and even ants understand this principle, let alone these creatures who had spent countless years to reach this day.
Although only their Primordial Spirits remained, if they found a body and combined it with the Pill of Three Lives, a return was not impossible.
On this day,
while in closed-door meditation within the Divine Bamboo Forest of the Questioning Path, suddenly, Jiang Hui's eyes snapped open, and he seemed to have an epiphany, rising to his feet and taking a step forward.
The scenery beside him changed dramatically, and when he looked again, he was already amidst a range of undulating peaks.
Especially the main peak in the center, it was exceptionally majestic, penetrating the clouds above as if it were a divine blade descending from the heavens.
Around the main peak, faintly visible were creatures with shimmering lightning, of varying sizes; some had simple limbs, while others resembled tadpoles.
They were none other than the Little Thunder Spirits Jiang Hui was raising.
At this moment, these Thunder Spirits wore serious expressions. Although their evolution differed, all had reached a commendable state; they were small in size, but the power coursing through their bodies was immense and abundant.
All at once,
thick, barrel-sized azure lightning bolts extended from the bodies of the Little Thunder Spirits, entwined with each other, and amidst the sparks of lightning, seemed to form a Formation of sorts.
The dazzling lightning danced wildly within, like silver dragons breaking through the sky; around the Little Thunder Spirits, dense webs of electricity intertwined into a dense network, flickering with a breathtaking brilliance.
Jiang Hui looked out and, in the frontmost position of those Little Thunder Spirits,
there stood a humanoid creature.
Eons ago, the creature had already evolved to be similar to humans, yet it had no face,
For the Human Race is the spirit of all things.
Although inherently weaker in strength, they could learn from the strengths of All Clans without much limitation, and the Human Race's creativity and numbers were among the most abundant in the Ten Thousand Clans.
That's exactly why,
whatever clan it was in the Ten Thousand Clans, once they reach a certain level of strength, they prefer to adopt a Human Race form when venturing out.
Its body, under the baptism of Thunder and Lightning, gradually transformed into an even more Perfect form, with every inch of its skin radiating an awe-inspiring power.
Above the village,
the clear sky that stretched for thousands of miles changed in an instant,
and in just a brief moment, unimaginably dense dark clouds gathered from nowhere, looming and converging above, looking like angry beasts roaring furiously. In no time at all, they covered most of the village.
