Paragon Of Sin

Chapter 639 - 634: Grand Demonstration, A Feeling

A high-pitched sound emanated out from the Spiritual Projection Obelisk. It blared out for thousands of miles, encapsulating every last skyship in the surroundings, causing them to vibrate slightly. The trembling alerted everyone that the demonstration was beginning.

The anticipation in the hearts of the cultivators of Origin, not just those of the True Element Sect, were at an all-time high. The last time the Golden Life Pavilion had performed such a grand showing, it showed off a fuel-efficient, highly-sustainable, affordable, and spacious skyship design. This design was terrifying, and the vast majority of cultivators today used them. It had replaced the archaic designs that were clunky and filled with various issues.

The best defining feature of that skyship design was its integrated homeopathic formations. With it, the various formations interlinked together through an array could be repaired without long-term maintenance. This was a huge issue because numerous issues occurred while traveling through planets, such as assaults or natural phenomena, and then the skyshipʼs foundation would be devastated or ruined.

This left cultivators stranded. It wasnʼt easy to safely traverse planets using oneʼs own power, especially with its enormity and various territories. Fortunately, the homeopathic formation allowed self-repairs as long as one has resources.

Afterward, all skyships of future generations had incorporated this formation. Despite it seeming as if the formation was the most vital portion of the product, the design for the skyship was still popular due to its exquisite design. It was so popular and efficient that 80% of all skyships in circulation had its general design. After overturning that market, the excitement for the next big thing was as high as the heavens from the entire Aeternal Sky Starfield.

The Spiritual Projection Obelisk within Origin wasnʼt just releasing that sound, but every location within the sixteen domains that had one. This included the Imperial Clanʼs Domain and the Nine Worlds Domain. Despite their restrictions set forth to prevent the Golden Life Pavilion from operating within their territory, they werenʼt willing to lose this opportunity, and the Golden Life Pavilion wasnʼt so petty as to turn away potential customers.

They, just like all the other worlds, all the forces within their territory, had the ability to buy a ticket to the demonstration. This earned the Golden Life Pavilion an incredibly tidy sum with very little cost on their part. After all, the cost to use the Spiritual Projection Obelisk was borne by these forces, not them. They just had to release the Revealment Diskʼs energy fluctuations out to their pre-crafted tickets.

The cost was close to roughly a millionth of what they themselves earned from just the ticket sales. Still, they only used it for special events. While there were scaled down versions of the demonstration, handled by the four branches independently or planet-restricted, this was throughout the entire sixteen domains.

Far-off at the edge of the Aeternal Sky Starfield, a nascent planet was orbiting about. New Everlore had changed drastically from its original state nine months ago. In fact, it was totally different to an unbelievable extent. While far away from the radiance of the Solar Star, the environment of New Everlore was flourishing, a contrast to its bare bones state before.

There were tall, rich forests with freshwater rivers. The trees brimmed with pure wood energies while the waters were infused with special properties. If a mortal were to drink it, their bodies would be flushed of impurities, their thirst quenched, and their cells energized. For cultivators, they would experience similarities, but the water energies within would promote the growth of their innate energies.

There were entire fields being cultivated. There were grains that emitted gentle energies in every ounce. There were rice, corn, wheat, potato, and more that were varied from field to field, having various variations. There was one rice field that emitted a strong heat. This light red-colored rice was extremely beneficial to alleviate a cultivatorʼs affinity towards fire as well as absorb fire energies to cultivate themselves.

There werenʼt just farms for food corps, but plantations that grew tea leaves, oil seeds, fruits, and sugar canes. The fields were exceptionally rich and had high yields. Regardless of the corps desired time to seed, they were all equally vibrant.

The common people, those low-leveled cultivators, were working in good conditions and had buildings established to maintain a steady pace and oversee unhindered progress. Yet at this moment, everyone on the planet, the trillions of people, were all looking at the sky to see a gigantic obelisk. There were eight established, and above this obelisk were a single gigantic golden solar star-like object, far bigger than the other sixteen domains.

At one of these obelisks were millions of members of the Eternal Monarch Sect. At the lead of these millions, amongst them all, were a single woman of astonishing beauty and grace, looking forward with a calm, steady gaze.

Wu Baozhai observed the obelisk before her. Roughly a month ago, a half-dozen experts on voidships that seemingly exceeded Mortal Limits had arrived. She had thought it was an attack, even going as far as ordering defensive measures, but they had instead brought along numerous materials and respectfully talked to her as if she was an equal.

The person in charge was unnaturally nice. Then, they explained the concept of the demonstration and auction, informing her that they needed to establish these obelisks so the entire population could observe it at once. She was skeptical at first, but after listening to Wu Yuʼs assurances, she accepted it.

When Wu Yu had told her that it was likely Wei Wuyinʼs influence that was doing this, she was thoroughly astonished. Wei Wuyin wasnʼt even here, and thereʼs been no word of him, yet he was having those beyond the Mortal Limits labor for him? To be so polite to a little Astral Core Realm cultivator like herself? Who was situated at the outer edge of the starfield, forgotten by most?

She thought Wei Wuyin was amazing when she delved into the spatial ring he left her, finding all sorts of agricultural and environmental alchemical products. How far-sighted must one be? There wasnʼt a single thing needed besides effort, and they were already capable of growing high-level crops with fertile fields.

The growth of which was expedited. What shouldʼve taken a century had been reduced to a few months. How terrifying was this?! Just anticipating it was terrifying enough, but being able to provide this?

She just couldnʼt stop marveling at his means and capabilities. To add, he wasnʼt overbearing and demanding as others. She couldnʼt imagine what other men wouldʼve demanded of her to help her with any of this.

Wu Baozhai mentally communicated with Wu Yu: ”Those eight obelisks and those golden solar star objects above them must be costly.”

”You have no idea,” Wu Yu chuckled in reply. He had investigated the Golden Life Pavilion thoroughly after meeting Ma Sujiang, including their past achievements. He was well-aware that even mystic-tier forces would have an audience of millions, but they had established it so they could have an audience of trillions.

There was probably no force that would spend so much, yet they received this all for free? If he hadnʼt figured out that it was due to Wei Wuyin, he would fail as a brain-possessing existence.

When the high-pitched sound was emitted, everyone received a feminine voice through their spiritual senses, every cultivator on the planet, to send out their spiritual sense and the obelisk will act to connect with it. They just have to project it outwards slightly.

Some Qi Condensation Cultivators could barely extend their spiritual senses a few meters, so this was very accommodating. As they did, trillions of cyan-colored light erupted and entered the glabella of each individual. They instantly displayed the image of a platform, and it was as if they were really there! They could even feel the temperature of the room through their spiritual sense.

”How amazing!” Wu Baozhai was surprised by this feature.

”I wonder what is about to happen,” Wu Yu spoke out.

”What do you mean?” Wu Baozhai asked, not sure of what Wu Yu meant. She thought that this could be a trap? But then she thought about it for a brief second and dismissed it. Just the few cultivators they sent to establish the obelisks could casually destroy this planet a thousand times over. Why waste the effort?

Wu Yu amusingly explained, ”I just have a feeling that this is about to make a certain someone absurdly famous, and shake this entire world at its core.” He had seen Na Xinyi, so he was aware of the Neo-Dawn Eclipse Pill. If this wasnʼt about that, he would sell his two legs.

”...” Wu Baozhai wasnʼt aware of what Wu Yu knew, but she felt a tightening of her chest at his words. She couldnʼt help but recall that figure that had been almost nothing before. Just like her, a small Qi Condensation cultivator with no backing entering into an entire new world. Then, in a few years, just a few years, he was a household name that shook the entire starfield and its inhabitants to agree, unanimously, that itʼll be renamed after him.

Even the will of the San Clan was ignored, and they dared not speak a single word against it.

Itʼs been barely a year, he wasnʼt even in the starfield, but was it about to happen again?

The ravenous anticipation in her heart started to surge.

There were trillions of eyes observing the platform through their extended, interconnected spiritual senses. From those at the Qi Condensation to those at the Mystic Ascendant Realm, they were all present.

A figure walked onto the platform, feeling the countless gazes upon their existence, watching every breath they took and moves they made. Yet the figure was entirely unaffected, being highly composed.

The figure had lightly applied make-up that accentuated her natural beauty, just enough to make others aware of her. She had her dark-grey hair tied into an exquisite bun, and it no longer hid her bottom that was hugged by a tight-fitting black and gold cheongsam.

Ma Sujiang bowed slightly, ”I welcome all observers from across the Sixteen Domains to this product demonstration. I, Ma Sujiang, shall be your host.. Please forgive me if Iʼm inadequate.”
