Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

After a moment of silence, Lu Wenwu scratched his head and asked, ”Can I ask what the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable wants with this thing? As far as I know, isn’t he a demon cultivator? Are demon cultivators now into breeding?”

”Yes, and no, that’s something you might not be aware of.” Lou Yuwei explained mysteriously, ”You should know, the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable appeared with the beast tide and destroyed Celestial Star City, right?”

Lu Wenwu: ”???”

How come I don’t know I destroyed Celestial Star City along with the beast tide?

I thought I was the one who stopped the beast tide?

Didn’t you destroy Celestial Star City with the aftershocks when trying to kill me?

Why is this being pinned on me?

Is this some kind of smear campaign?

”... Uh, I’m really not clear on that, I’ve only heard a bit about it.” Lu Wenwu felt this matter was tricky to comment on.

”It’s enough if you’ve heard about it, it’s not important.”

Lou Yuwei continued speaking, his face showing a trace of resentment.

”The important thing is, that Violent Dragon Demon Venerable got hold of a little world, but for the World Stone, he directly destroyed that little world along with the billions of lives within it!

”Such actions are simply outrageous, utterly reprehensible! Merely for one World Stone!”

Lu Wenwu continued to remain silent.

The Immortal Dao Alliance is really pushing it, why is everything pinned on me!

Gosh, what’s the use of just having one World Stone...

Seeing Lu Wenwu’s silence, Lou Yuwei thought he was similarly indignant about the situation.

After all, the Immortal Farmer Sect is full of agricultural scholars concerned with feeding everyone, and should absolutely loathe such things, this is very reasonable.

”So, what does the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable need the World Stone for? And what’s the use of Boundary Stone?” Lu Wenwu asked helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Lou Yuwei became even more infuriated: ”This you might not know, there is an ancient record of a demonic artifact refining method called ’Ten Directions Silence’.

”Through destroying a little world, the Blood Evil Qi, Vengeful Qi, Qi of Destruction, and so on birthed from the world’s destruction are refined into the World Stone, so the Ten Directions Silence is already half-finished.”

”According to the ancients, once this Ten Directions Silence is detonated, everything within hundreds of miles will be devoured into nothingness, with even the earth and Spiritual Qi unable to continue existing, even a Loose Immortal would fall.”

”If one wishes to deploy the Ten Directions Silence safely, a Boundary Stone is required to refine the corresponding launch device, which can enable the Ten Directions Silence to spatially jump thousands of miles during detonation and instantly explode at the deployment site, rendering it unavoidable.”

”Based on the Immortal Dao Alliance’s conjecture, the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable has grand ambitions; he aims to complete the ancient ultimate weapon Ten Directions Silence and then deploy it in the major city of the Immortal Dao Alliance to blood sacrifice a large number of cultivators and gather souls and Blood Evil Qi.”

”Alternatively, the Violent Dragon Demon Venerable’s ambitions might be larger still, threatening the Immortal Dao Alliance with Ten Directions Silence and dragging the Cultivation Realm into an era notified by the Demonic Dao! That would be terrible, this massive threat must be eliminated!”

Lu Wenwu: ”...”

After listening to Lou Yuwei’s explanation, Lu Wenwu fell silent again.

Gosh, the Immortal Dao Alliance really has quite the imagination.

He knew about Ten Directions Silence, the Cultivation Realm’s very own nuclear weapon, recorded in the Dragon Mansion’s archives, capable after activation of tearing off a small piece of the world.

Unless a Loose Immortal expends their cultivation or a real Immortal descends to mobilize the Power of Rules for repairs.

Otherwise, the void created by Ten Directions Annihilation would take centuries to automatically repair.

Just, this thing is a white elephant too.

Historically, this thing appeared three times, all three users died on the spot.

The launch device is merely a theoretical effect, in practice, it must be manually detonated, essentially like holding a nuclear bomb for a face-to-face explosion with the enemy, no one survives.

Just... uh...

You could say, there’s a reason why this thing isn’t a regular strategic weapon.

If the launch problem could be really resolved, maybe the Cultivation Realm could gallop into a harmonious society, entering a new era of relative safety kept by mutual deterrence with Ten Directions Silence.

Cultivation methods bring extraordinary convenience, able to shortcut ahead, lighting up a technology tree that leaps levels.

But before systematic, summarized natural sciences are created, it’s challenging for the Cultivation Realm to achieve controlled invention and product estimation, mostly blindly work through, then test concrete effects.

Similar to ’Bone Transformation Technique’, Ten Directions Silence such surprisingly effective yet extremely impractical creations are countless in the vast historical river of the Cultivation Realm.

As Lu Wenwu and Lou Yuwei chatted idly, unconsciously, the auction had officially started.

A young auctioneer of elegant demeanor stood behind the auction platform, addressing today’s guests and introducing the rules of this grand auction.

Lu Wenwu’s Divine Sense silently swept around the auction hall.

In the Celestial Character Area, apart from several Demon Venerables with hidden identities and Transformed Demon Gods, the rest were just Nascent Soul cultivators.

From the Immortal Dao Alliance, besides the Celestial Secret Tower Master coming out to greet everyone, wishing the auction success, none of the Divinity Transformation True Venerables from the Righteous Dao were present.

These Divinity Transformation True Venerables were in their boxes, attending the auction while secretly waiting to hook the big fish Violent Dragon Demon Venerable.

A rough count revealed at least twenty Divinity Transformation presences.
