Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 386: Chapter 284: Mingyu Divine Lord 2

Wang Yi offered no reply. He ignored the Player shouting from the pyramid and simply acted on his own. First, a speck of light flew from between his eyebrows and transformed into a massive mountain.

This was a mountain Wang Yi had refined in the Mountain and River World. After several rounds of repairs, it was now towering and majestic.

”I’ll trade a mountain for a mountain!”

With a soft cry, Wang Yi casually set the great mountain on the ground. He then pointed a finger at Purple Jade Mountain and began to refine it.

As his Chaos Energy was consumed, Purple Jade Mountain immediately began to tremble. Then, under the influence of a strange, immense force, it slowly began to rise.

”Holy shit!”

”What’s going on?”

”Who the hell is this guy? He summoned a massive mountain, and now he wants to uproot Purple Jade Mountain!”

”Badass!”

”Quick, go tell Chief Manda!”

The Players aboard the Pyramid Flying Device were stunned by the scene before them, all traces of their earlier arrogance gone. One of them scrambled to contact Chief Manda.

At that moment, however, Chief Manda was still out in the Starry Sky hunting a Starry Giant Beast, making him completely unreachable.

Wang Yi paid them no mind and continued refining Purple Jade Mountain. Once it was done, he immediately used a Town Recall Scroll to return to his territory.

A moment later, Purple Jade Mountain appeared to the north of Huaguo Mountain. Its Spirit Vein swiftly connected with the earth, visibly altering the territory’s ecosystem and reviving the nearby peach trees.

Wang Yi was overjoyed. He checked his territory management panel and saw that the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem’s Evolution progress had returned to 35%.

’Hard work finally pays off!’

Wang Yi felt a great sense of satisfaction, but he didn’t rest. He quickly crossed over to other Newbie Worlds.

「Meanwhile, in the Xuyi World.」

Zhang Xuyi was leading a group of Cultivators in forging a Mountain and River Battle Sword.

The Mountain and River Battle Sword was a large-scale Magical Treasure, a type of massive Flying Sword, and was exceedingly difficult to forge.

Zhang Xuyi used the Mountain and River Battleship as her Cosmic Spaceship.

In the past, Zhang Xuyi had a hundred thousand Golden Core and three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators under her command, making it easy to forge a Mountain and River Battleship. But now, with so few high-level Cultivators remaining, it was a struggle to forge even a single large Mountain and River Battle Sword, even with tens of thousands of Cultivators. Some of the required High-Level Arrays simply couldn’t be constructed.

’Sigh, in a Cultivation Civilization, technology is synonymous with one’s Realm. Without high-level Cultivators, our technology has completely fractured... And I have no idea where my unreliable fourth uncle has wandered off to.’

Zhang Xuyi was deeply frustrated. She couldn’t understand how things had come to this. Others who served the Divine Country received great benefits, so why was her own situation so miserable?

’Whatever, the foundation is still intact. We’ll just have to develop slowly. The Nascent Soul Cultivators are being reborn from their Nascent Souls, so it shouldn’t take them too long to recover their strength!’

As Zhang Xuyi was sighing to herself, a woman in a white dress appeared before her. With a single step, she was standing right in front of her.

”Who are you? Why are you here?”

Zhang Xuyi was alarmed. She couldn’t see any identity information on the woman, but it was clear she was no ordinary person; she had appeared before her without a sound.

”Zhang Xuyi, Lord of the Xuyi Royal Court. In light of your relative loyalty, you are rewarded with three volumes of the Divinity Transformation Secret Manual. You no longer need to concern yourself with the matter of the Ming King, and I will not inquire about past events. The Golden Lion is dead. Conduct yourself accordingly!”

The woman in white spoke calmly, then pointed a finger. Space shattered, and a disheveled, white-haired old man tumbled out.

”Fourth Uncle!”

Zhang Xuyi’s heart went cold.

The old man was none other than Zhang Yunlu, the one and only Divinity Transformation Cultivator of the Xuyi Royal Court.

He looked dazed. When he turned and saw the woman in white, he immediately flinched.

The woman in white took a single step and vanished without a trace, leaving behind three jade slips enveloped in a glowing mist.

”This is...” Zhang Xuyi looked at the three jade slips, her face filled with ecstasy. ”These are inheritance manuals for Divinity Transformation! They can be used to create Divinity Transformation Cultivators directly! Fourth Uncle, who was that woman? What a grand gesture!”

Zhang Yunlu still wore a look of lingering terror. It took him a long moment to compose himself before he said, ”Xuyi, you didn’t recognize her? That was the Mingyu Divine Lord!”

”What? The Mingyu Divine Lord!” Zhang Xuyi was stunned once more. ”A being like her... why would she descend to a lower world?”

”Never mind that. Just carefully consider the Divine Lord’s words,” Zhang Yunlu said with a wave of his sleeve. ”Your Fourth Uncle also received a boon from her. There is now hope for my Tribulation Crossing. I am going into seclusion immediately!”

With that, Zhang Yunlu executed an Escape Technique, transforming into a beam of light and disappearing into the distance.

Zhang Xuyi did as he said, replaying the Mingyu Divine Lord’s words in her mind. A gradual understanding dawned on her, and she muttered aloud, ”The Golden Lion is dead... the Golden Lion is dead... Golden Lion Venerable is dead?”

「Two days later.」

Wang Yi returned from a small, mountainous world named ”Sea Power,” bringing back a ”Whale Cloud Mountain.”

Whale Cloud Mountain also contained a Spirit Vein. Wang Yi placed it next to Purple Jade Mountain, and as its Spirit Vein merged with the earth, the Flower and Fruit Ecosystem was restored even further. The Evolution progress reached 66%.

On that same day, an old, white-haired man appeared on the World Line of the Typhon World. He had the otherworldly bearing of an immortal sage and carried a longsword on his back. It was Li Bozhen.

Li Bozhen sat cross-legged on the World Line, drew a talisman in the empty air with his hand, and uttered a single word: ”Go!”

A light flared as a rune materialized, transforming into a Small Sword. Then, as Li Bozhen pointed downward, the Small Sword abruptly pierced through the World Line and entered the Typhon World.

This was the art of Flying Sword Communication!

After a long moment, the Small Sword pierced its way back out of the world. Li Bozhen frowned and muttered to himself, ”The Ming King isn’t in the Typhon World? Where is she? Did that Lord hide her away?”

Li Bozhen formed a series of Hand Formulas, as if performing a divination. A moment later, he once again drew a talisman in the void, and soon another communication Flying Sword condensed into being.

’The only one left to contact is him... I hope he’s still alive.’ ”Flying Sword, go!”

Li Bozhen formed another Hand Formula. The communication Flying Sword, as if sentient, once again pierced the World Line and entered the Typhon World.

The Small Sword’s speed was astonishing. Like a streak of light, it flew directly toward the Huaguo Mountain Territory.

A moment later, inside the First Dining Hall, a handsome young man was sweeping the floor. He suddenly sensed something and turned around, horrified to find a Small Sword hovering silently before him.

The young man’s eyes narrowed. He was startled but not panicked. He was none other than King Pingxi, Li Ben.

”Senior Brother, I am sending this Flying Sword Communication to ask for your help. I am currently on the World Line and seek an audience with Yang Jian of Huaguo Mountain. This matter concerns Princess Longyu and affects the entire world. It is of the utmost urgency. I implore you, Senior Brother, you must help!”

A voice suddenly echoed from the Small Sword, which then dissipated into fine specks of light.

Li Ben’s eyes narrowed. He instantly recognized the speaker’s voice and muttered to himself, ”Li Bozhen! He’s not dead? And he wants an audience with the Lord?”

After a moment’s thought, Li Ben put his broom away and headed for the Eco-Castle.

’To be able to use Flying Sword Communication and speak of the World Line... this Li Bozhen is no longer the Junior Brother I once knew.’ Li Ben understood that this matter couldn’t be ignored. He decided to report it and let the more capable people in the territory handle it.

A moment later, Li Ben met with Jelena. He bowed and said, ”City Lord, I received a Flying Sword Communication from Beyond the Heavens. The former Sect Leader of the Jade Mountain Sword Sect, Li Bozhen, is on the World Line seeking an audience with the Lord!”

”Li Bozhen?” Jelena was very courteous to Li Ben. ”Thank you for reporting this, sir. Please, tell me everything you know about this person.”

Li Ben didn’t dare to hide anything and proceeded to tell Jelena everything he knew about Li Bozhen in detail.

After listening, Jelena thought for a moment. ”This Li Bozhen is outside the World Line, so he must no longer be a Mortal. Please wait a moment, sir, while I inform my father.”

Wang Yi was at the summit of Huaguo Mountain, inspecting the Flower Fruit Trees. When he received Jelena’s message, he couldn’t help but feel a jolt of apprehension.

’Li Bozhen!’

Wang Yi remembered him. Li Bozhen had been a bit of an oddball. After his death, his True Spirit had been stored in the Spirit-Suppressing Pearl—the very same pearl that Wang Yi himself had brought to the Chaotic World Royal Court.

’This Li Bozhen is most likely from the Mingyu Divine Country as well. I wonder if he was resurrected or reincarnated. Why has he come now?’

After a moment’s consideration, Wang Yi decided to go and meet with Li Bozhen.

A short while later, the Galaxy Airship ascended from the Refining Profound Sect.

Aboard the airship were Wang Yi; Frank, the pilot; Jelena; Li Ben; Zhao Mei; Liang Xiaoyu; Yun Rou; as well as Wang Bushi, Xiang Yun, Ji Liangren, and Yue Zheng.

Both Jelena and Wang Bushi carried a Wind and Cloud Banner, making the group quite a formidable party.

It was worth mentioning that Ji Liangren was wearing a jersey, with three soccer balls floating behind his back. He was a Great Slave Lord who neglected his proper duties; he had contracted a few slaves and spent all his days playing soccer with them. It wasn’t a proper game, of course—he was purely grinding his battle stats.

His Supreme Jersey and Super God Football had now been upgraded to Red Light Quality, and their power was quite impressive.

As for Yue Zheng, he was a Demon Gun Knight and Xiang Yun’s disciple. Though only level 12, his skills were already extraordinary.

Soon, the Galaxy Airship pierced through the World Line. After searching for half an hour, they finally found Li Bozhen, sitting cross-legged on the line itself.
