Chapter 169 - 169: 157 Crazy Expansion
It sounds like stuff of legends.
But it happened just like that.
Since the fall of the Lan Yu Heavenly Monarch, these two every year, over the ownership of the “Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique”, would compete against each other at the Heavenly Capital Martial Arts Arena.
Many years have passed, yet no victor has emerged.
Each time, it manages to draw countless cultivators to watch the battle.
It almost became a reserved show of Yuandao State, and even attracted many cultivators from other states who admired it, trying to get a glimpse of the prowess of the two God Transforming Immortal Monarchs.
However, the day of the agreed duel arrived this year.
There wasn’t a single person in sight in the Heavenly Capital Martial Arts Arena.
People waited for a long time, but neither Du Guxi nor Du Gushi showed up. Thinking the time of the duel was changed, the cultivators didn’t think much of it at the time.
It wasn’t until several days later that shocking news arrived.
The friends and subordinates of the two, after trying all sorts of methods, were still unable to contact the pair.
Even after enlisting the help of the Tiantong Hall to extrapolate, they could not find any trace of them.
As if they vanished into thin air! There was not a trace to be seen dead or alive! The ones most affected were the Lan Yu Sect.
With top powers vanishing, people inside the Lan Yu were panic-stricken.
They were on edge, suspecting everyone to be the enemy in disguise.
And other parties, after the initial shock, began to recover slowly.
The Lan Yu Sect, being enormous and unshakable.
But that was in the past.
After several years of internal fighting and losses, the Lan Yu suffered heavy losses.
Followed by the mysterious disappearance of the two Immortal Monarchs.
What strength does the Lan Yu Sect have left now?
A sense of greed began to flourish among many forces.
The Burned Feather Alliance was secretly established.
It began with small scale skirmishes.
Then, with the “Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique” acting as a fuse, a widespread massacre began.
This Unity-Path True Technique was broken into five parts by the Lan Yu Heavenly Monarch before his demise, and stored in five encrypted Jade Scrolls.
Four of them were handed over to his four most loyal subordinates for protection.
The remaining one, however, was entrusted to the most mysterious and peaceful Law Enforcement Hall within the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals.
Only with the combination of the five Jade Scrolls can the complete “Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique” be reproduced.
Following the mysterious disappearance of the du Guxi brothers and subsequent predators circling around, the seemingly most loyal God
Transforming Immortal Monarch in the Lan Yu Sect, who had been with Lan Yu Heavenly Monarch for the longest time with the oldest pedigree, Wei Xutuo.
Betrayed them, taking with him one part of the “Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique”.
Under the pretext of discussing strategies against the enemy, he deceived another God Transforming Immortal Monarch who held a Jade Scroll, Wu Tongtian, into the ambush set up by the Burned Feather Alliance.
Wu Tongtian fell with resentment, Wei Xutuo obtained two parts of the
“Heavenly Capital’s Feather Transformation Technique” , and the Burned Feather Alliance took the opportunity to massively annex the territory of the
Lan Yu Sect.
The Lan Yu Sect, upon receiving the news, was firstly shocked.
Then, overwhelmingly furious.
A centipede dies but never falls down.
A bloody counter-attack begins.
The war ignited and subsequently swept across Yuandao State.
Countless Gold Core, Nascent Soul, and God Transforming cultivators were affected.
The radiance of fallen paragons in the sky above was constant, without pause.
However, the Energy Refining Cultivators who were most numerous in number couldn’t even serve as cannon fodders because of their low combat power.
So they weren’t really affected.
Moon Palace.
“Who is it this time setting the big game…”
Having observed all the major and minor affairs of Yuandao State in the recent period, Li Fan’s gaze flickered.
The strong aura of a conspiracy behind this is too obvious.
“Anyone with sharp eyes can see the potential issues here.”
“Unfortunately, now that they are deeply mired within this chess game, they have no control over their own destinies.”
“Energy Refining Cultivators, with their low power, don’t even qualify to become chess pieces.”
“It doesn’t matter if you look down on them, for I don’t.”
At that moment, Li Fan called on everyone in the Moon Palace, issuing the order for a strategic expansion.
Although characters like Su Xiaomei were somewhat puzzled by this order, they executed it decisively.
Marking the end of the 43rd year, the matter of Law Passage that had been halted for half a year was resumed.
This time, it was even more intense than before.
Under Li Fan’s instruction, the Moon Palace left only 30,000 points of contribution for reserve use.
All the rest was loaned out.
The news of the restart of Moon Palace operations instantly spread among the Energy Refining Cultivators.
Those who have been waiting agonisingly for half a year were overjoyed.
They came in swarms to the Moon Lake.
The amount of people exceeded even what Li Fan could imagine.
However, Li Fan didn’t release all the quota for Law Passage at once.
Following the same routine of selecting a fortunate cultivator once every three days, this stunt was enough to tantalize the taste buds of all cultivators.
Nearly a month had been spent before the planned amount of contribution points were all loaned out.
By then, Moon Palace’s external debt had amounted to nearly 220,000 points of contribution.
The personal reserve of contribution points was 30,000.
Zhang Zhiliang’s legacy was 320,000 points of contribution.
In total, they had 570,000 points of contribution.
However, the chaotic state of the Yuandao State, which was in disarray and full of battles, provided Li Fan with the best environment for growth.
Under such a rampant growth, the terrifying speed of compound interest finally began to show.
By the end of the 44th year, the Moon Palace’s external debt soared to 310,000 points.
By the end of the 45th year, it was 450,000 points.
By the end of the 46th year, it was 630,000 points.
By the mid-50th year, the Moon Palace’s external debt had reached the astronomical figure of 2.2 million points.
In seven years, the Moon Palace has successfully aided nearly 500 Energy Refining Cultivators to reach the Foundation Establishment phase.
For every cultivator he helped to pass the technique, “The Mountain-Seating Secret” would reflect nearly six months of cultivation.
The feedback from nearly 250 years of cultivation had already promoted Li Fan to the Final Stage Foundation Establishment.
Under the watchful eye of the Formless Killing Machine, Li Fan witnessed the process of Foundation Establishment more than 500 times.
At this point, his understanding of “Establishing the Dao Foundation” probably exceeds that of any other Foundation Establishment Cultivator in this world.
At this time, the heaven-sent genius Su Xiaomei had just broken through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment, while Xiao Heng was still hovering at the early stage of Foundation Establishment.
Such a terrifying speed of cultivation made Li Fan feel like he was dreaming.
The huge amount of contribution points in his hand even made him feel like he was treading on thin ice.
His heart was not filled with the joy brought about by the rapid ascension of the realm, but an increasing sense of unease.
He ordered the people of the Moon Palace to stop the business of passing the technique while also quickly recovering contribution points.
Li Fan prepared for any eventuality, reading about the method of breaking through to the Gold Core in the Tianxuan Realm, raising his guard, ready to run at any time.
In the Yuandao State, in some unknown space.
A black-clothed cultivator had just woken up from his meditation.
He habitually made a hand gesture.
In front of him, a golden ginkgo tree suddenly appeared.
The black-clothed cultivator held a duster in his hand and lightly waved it. The ginkgo tree, which seemed to have been frozen in time, suddenly began to change.
The tree swayed and five golden leaves fell.
The black-clothed cultivator had a joyful expression on his face: “How come five God Transforming cultivators died while I was meditating?”
The hand gesture changed.
Another identical tree appeared next to the golden ginkgo, only glowing softly and silver.
He waved the duster.
Twenty-three silver leaves slowly floated down.
The black-clothed cultivator was even more overjoyed.
He calculated and already knew the reason.
“So they started a civil war, what an unexpected joy.”
“Strange, whose hand did this? I can’t figure it out?”
“Humph, no matter, the more dead, the better.”
“Originally, I used the death of Lan Yu to make a brilliant move, which greatly reduced the number of cultivators.”
“Now with this happening, it seems I am going to exceed the task this time.” The black-clothed cultivator muttered to himself, feeling inexplicable joy.
“There have been too many cultivators in Yuandao State for too long. It’s about time for a fierce pruning, it was all that old man Lan Yu protecting them…”
“Humph, now that you are dead, you won’t be able to show off your abilities anymore.”
Blue ginkgo appeared, and more leaves dropped this time.
The black-clothed cultivator immediately danced with joy: “It seems that the task given by the Heavenly Lord is secure this time.”
Next, he habitually summoned the last green ginkgo.
In the black-clothed cultivator’s stunned eyes, the green ginkgo grew with the wind.
In just a breath’s duration, it had grown an entire circle larger than before.
Full of life, it swayed gently.
The black-clothed cultivator was so shocked that he stood up and exclaimed:
“How is this possible?”
“The number of Foundation Establishment cultivators has tripled in ten years?
Cold sweat dripped from his forehead, and the black-clothed cultivator quickly calculated.
“What a clever Moon Palace of Law Passage…”
After a long time, the black-clothed cultivator gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
“And a bunch of imitators… “You all must die!”
Bang!
The four ginkgo trees of gold, silver, blue, and green in front of him instantly turned into flying ashes.
The black-clothed cultivator held the duster and stepped forward, disappearing instantly..
