Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 539: Chapter 359: Perfected Person Miaoshan

’These rewards are pretty average. The only valuable thing is the [Quest Certificate for Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin]. But to gain Xia Qinglin’s allegiance, I’ll still need to complete a quest in the High-Dimensional Divine Hall...’

Wang Yi took out the [Quest Certificate for Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin] to inspect it, while Emperor Tathagata took out his [Quest Certificate for Coffin Bearer Wang Yinghu]. Mingyu Divine Lord’s face lit up with joy; she had obtained three quest certificates, one of which was the [Quest Certificate for Chaos Lord Hu Ba].

”This is wonderful! Lord Huba is a legendary figure. Many people in the Alliance must want to see him resurrected. What an unexpected surprise! This quest certificate alone makes this whole trip worthwhile!”

Mingyu Divine Lord clearly held the castle-transforming Lord Huba in high regard, even reverence. She examined the quest certificate in her hands over and over, evidently resolved to undertake this quest.

However, Wang Yi and the others had already been teleported back to Da Feng Cliff Square.

According to the rules of Da Feng Cliff, they could attempt another winning streak here.

Wang Yi was in no hurry to fight. He took out the Hundred Battle Treasure Chest awarded by the system and opened it. His luck was mediocre; inside were only 10,000 Star Yuan and nothing else.

After a brief rest, Emperor Tathagata activated a Battle Banner, once again initiating a legion war.

Wang Yi deployed his Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors as usual.

When Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors undergo mutations through battle, their ecosystem stores the memory. In the future, upon encountering similar foes, they will rapidly mutate to become their natural predators!

This was precisely why Wang Yi wanted his Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors to experience as many battles as possible; it was a way to strengthen their foundation.

Their opponent in this legion war was the ”Miaoshan Legion.”

This legion’s basic troops were Monks, with higher tiers including Martial Monks, Vajras, Venerables, and Bodhisattvas. They possessed formidable defenses and excelled at persuasion—in other words, converting enemies into allies.

Neither Mingyu Divine Lord nor Emperor Tathagata had any recollection of this legion. Throughout the battle, over three hundred Mingyu Sword Immortals were persuaded to convert to the Buddhist Sect.

In contrast, not a single one of Emperor Tathagata’s Eco-catastrophe Legion or Wang Yi’s Spirit Rhinoceros Warriors was converted.

The Miaoshan Legion also had its own masters, four of them: [Venerable Sun Momo], [Sea-covering Vajra Zhuang Mingyue], [Great Compassion Buddha Hand Gu Lijian], and [Ghostly Great Sage Ancestor Wang].

The final boss was [Ancestral Master Miaoshan Sun Miaoshan]. He wasn’t a Chaos Lord; his class was [Ancestral Master Miaoshan]. He wore Buddhist Beads and a Daoist Robe, had a portly figure, and a stubbly beard with bristles like steel needles.

His methods were extraordinary; he could persuade people to ”lay down their butcher’s knives” and convert to the Buddhist Sect, and could even forcibly tonsure them!

A dozen or so Mingyu Sword Immortals were tonsured by this Ancestral Master Miaoshan, converted to the Buddhist Sect, and became his Dharma Guardian Vajras.

Of course, victory ultimately went to Wang Yi’s trio. The spoils of war were decent, including items like Buddhist Beads, cassocks, and golden alms bowls.

Quest Certificates for the five main characters were also distributed. Wang Yi received one of them—the [Quest Certificate for Sun Miaoshan].

According to the certificate’s description, using this Scroll in the High-Dimensional Divine Hall would trigger a Descension Quest. Completing it would resurrect Sun Miaoshan and secure his allegiance.

’Sun Miaoshan seems like an interesting character. Once I leave Hundred Battle Mountain, I’ll head to the High-Dimensional Divine Hall to do the Descension Quests and recruit him along with that Chaos Era’s Piano Demon Xia Qinglin.’

As Wang Yi pondered this, the system awarded another Hundred Battle Treasure Chest for their victory. From it, he pulled a Five-Color Quality weapon: the [Vajra Demon-Subduing Pestle].

”The fighting at Da Feng Cliff is done for now. We can move on. Gale Cliff is next. Same as always, let’s head to the inn first for a cup of tea!”

Mingyu Divine Lord took the initiative to speak. ”If I remember correctly, there’s a High-Dimensional Divine Hall in Gale Cliff. We could work on some Descension Quests there.”

Emperor Tathagata added, ”Besides the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, Gale Cliff also has an amusement park and an adventure house.”

Mingyu Divine Lord said, ”The amusement park and adventure house are just for fun, a way to kill time and nothing more. The Descension Quests in the High-Dimensional Divine Hall, however, are exclusive and can’t be accepted elsewhere. Little Tongtian, you might want to look into them.”

”Okay!”

Wang Yi nodded, continuing to play the part of a minor character.

”Speaking of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall...” Emperor Tathagata continued, ”Your Excellency, your Descender status must have reached the highest tier by now, right? Can this avatar of yours enter the High-Dimensional Divine Hall?”

”I can,” Mingyu Divine Lord replied.

”Alright then. You can get a four-win streak at Gale Cliff, but there are six Battle Banner Squares, all for solo matches. There’s also a lot to explore. Why don’t we go our separate ways for a while and regroup in one month at the inn on Windbreak Mountain? How does that sound?”

”That works for me.”

”I have no objection,”

A moment later, Wang Yi parted ways with Emperor Tathagata and Mingyu Divine Lord. He entered Gale Cliff and discovered the number of Players had dropped sharply. After walking around for a while and visiting the inn, he noticed that everyone he saw was level 300 or higher.

’Looks like the higher up you go, the tougher the challenges get.’

With this realization, Wang Yi got a room at the inn. After a short rest, he changed his personal information to ”Sun Wukong” and his displayed level to 300!

”Sun Wukong” wasn’t a new identity; it was Wang Yi’s very first, numbered Descender identity.

Wang Yi then changed into a different cosmetic outfit, equipped the Golden Cudgel he had forged in the Fantasy Divine Weapon Pool, and donned a golden monkey Mask he had gotten from a blind box. His transformation was complete.

’Dressed like this, I doubt even Mingyu Divine Lord and Emperor Tathagata would recognize me if they saw me.’
