Global Dungeon: I Can See the Status Bar

This mockery made Duan Chaolong feel utterly ashamed, his weathered face turning alternately blue and white.

The dignitaries and nobles behind him glared angrily at this young cultivator with only Foundation Establishment cultivation, the anger and killing intent in their eyes almost wishing to skin him alive on the spot.

In the past, how dare such a nobody speak conceitedly to them?

But now, they could only endure.

Finally, after almost emptying their pockets and even surrendering many magical artifacts, talismans, and elixirs to settle their debts, Duan Chaolong and his disciple finally stepped onto the teleportation array heading south.

And when it was the turn of those dignitaries and nobles, the young cultivator who had just received a message talisman had an even more intense sneer on his lips.

”Ladies and gentlemen, today’s price is ten thousand times more expensive than yesterday!”

”What!!!”

”Damn it!”

”You’re raising the prices right on the spot!”

”Get your superior here to talk to me directly!”

”Do you know who I am, daring to treat me this way!”

A Divinity Transformation True Venerable carrying a three-foot cyan blade slowly walked out from the teleportation array, undoubtedly a sword cultivator.

As everyone knows, the group of sword cultivators is famously fearless and reckless, each one seemingly a madman, arguably the least favored group in the cultivation realm, next only to demon cultivators.

No exceptions.

Even those with extraordinary power and privilege fear the reckless youth.

They dare to do anything.

Just like that rookie Bay Area Gun God.

No matter who you are, some truly do kill.

The Divinity Transformation Sword Cultivator’s gaze, cold and sharp as a knife, swept across the hall, making the air inside the teleportation station palpably chillier.

”I am his superior. Who here has an issue with the pricing?”

”No objections, no objections.”

”This is as it should be.”

”I’ll pay the spirit stones right away!”

”I... I can pay with a top-grade magical treasure and some elixirs!”

”...”

The dignitaries and nobles immediately felt like geese with their necks being strangled, left only with forced smiles, each one pledging loyalty in turn.

If one’s aptitude is ordinary, it’s entirely possible to use elixirs and heavenly and earthly treasures to reach Golden Core.

Even the Nascent Soul isn’t an impossibility in this manner.

But Divinity Transformation, absolutely no chance of being forcefully achieved this way.

In these obviously turbulent times, these noble families can’t afford to offend such a Divinity Transformation True Venerable.

Usually, they might sell your family elder some face and not hold grudges.

Now, it’s not so certain.

Moreover, this one is a sword cultivator!

So, they could only painfully pay up, taking out enormous wealth in exchange for a chance to head south.

What they didn’t know was.

Those who left first were actually the lucky ones.

Because the Immortal Dao Alliance was adjusting the pricing rapidly based on the number of people using the teleportation and their social standing.

The price of teleportation escalated fiercely, spiraling out of control.

Almost every minute and second saw new highs in pricing.

A ten-thousand-fold increase was just the beginning!

Even the youths of noble families had to shell out all their assets, layer by layer, to scrape through, leaving almost even their Qiankun Bags behind, just to barely escape to the southernmost islands of the world to eke out a living.

Saint Venerable Heng Ru, having been the Alliance Leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance for so many years, truly understood what kind of being these families were below.

He knew even better how much blood these families had sucked from this giant establishment of the Immortal Dao Alliance over the years!

Even in the face of true doomsday, they were reluctant to part with their reserves to aid the front lines, let alone personally step into the battlefield to defend the country.

Thus, Saint Venerable Heng Ru straightforwardly adopted the simplest and most brutal method to collect the wealth held by these families, consolidating everything into his hands as much as possible, then sending it to the Doomsday Defense Line under construction.

Whether spirit stones, talismans, spirit plants, magical artifacts, spirit beasts, puppets, or elixirs, these were all essential war reserves.

For every bit more stored, the grasp on winning this battle increases, as does the chance of victory!

Saint Venerable Heng Ru and several late-stage Divinity Transformation cultivators were doing their utmost to squeeze those vampires perched atop the great tree of the Immortal Dao Alliance, employing all forms of coercion and inducement.

Even going so far as to request the Blood River Demon Venerable and the Demon Race to help uproot some families that went too far.

He even had a vague feeling.

If they could win this battle, the doomsday brought by the impending arrival of the True Demon was not only not a disaster, but instead a good thing.

If it weren’t for this occurrence, these noble families wouldn’t surrender what they had swallowed without a fight!

In this unprecedented collaboration, all sorts of resources filled Qiankun Bags one after another, racing day and night to the Land of the Far North.

The sect’s precious secret lands, treasured in ordinary times, were now unconditionally opened.

The precious magical artifacts from the armory were distributed evenly to every war cultivator.

The Instructor Elders began tirelessly imparting knowledge to numerous disciples.

Even the spirit veins, the foundation of the sect, were being violently exploited in the most extravagant manner, mined at maximum speed to provide spirit stones for the front lines.

All the human relationships, benefits, long-term prospects seemed like blank paper, laughably pale before the apocalypse.

After being ruthlessly PUA’ed by Lu Wenwu, the leaders of the Immortal Dao Alliance, led by Saint Venerable Heng Ru, became steadfastly determined.

At this critical juncture, anyone daring to stir any trouble would be immediately dealt with!

The development of the future?

Grudges and hate?

Alienated relationships?

All bullshit!

One must survive first to have the right to discuss anything else!
