Chapter 382: The Dark Elder's Decision
Li Paor restrained his aura, returning to calmness, and transmitted his voice with deep gratitude, "Thank you for your help, big brother!"
A flicker of surprise passed through Li Fugui's eyes. "I didn't expect you to really break through! The effect of this crystal is far better than Chaos Crystals. It will become a strategic national resource. You've hit the jackpot this time!"
"All thanks to your guidance and support, big brother!" Li Paor said, his mood joyful.
Within the army, many soldiers cast envious glances at the collected white crystals.
Li Fugui issued an order, "Seal and store these Abyssal Crystals for submission to the military headquarters!"
Many people revealed looks of regret.
Li Fugui, meanwhile, organized the entire exploration process. The fact that cultivators tainted by the Abyss would, upon being slain, precipitate crystals that could enhance cultivation was extremely important intelligence.
Therefore, he quickly reported everything that happened here to the upper echelons of the Dark Nation through his avatar.
Dark Nation.
A high-level meeting was swiftly convened.Fifty Near King-level Elders assembled in full attendance.
The Great Elder of the Dark Nation looked at Li Fugui's avatar and gestured, "Explain the situation."
Li Fugui immediately transmitted the intelligence he had just gathered to all the attending Elders.
Li Fugui began, "I led the army to investigate. Based on the traces at the scene, it should have been a Near King-level Abyss Rule cultivator who took action, killing the sect leader and elders of the Great Sun Sect."
"Currently, we have extracted the other party's aura. It is a completely unfamiliar aura. We cannot rule out that it has been disguised. The identity of the other party is uncertain. However, after the Great Sun Sect cultivators were Abyssalized, killing them actually precipitated a special type of crystal."
"This type of crystal can be used to enhance cultivation. A Continent-City Level general under my command tried refining one, and his cultivation advanced to Near King-level! According to his estimate, that crystal precipitated from the Great Sun Sect's sect leader roughly equated to three thousand kalpas of arduous cultivation."
All the Elders showed expressions of astonishment, quickly realizing the strangeness of the matter.
"Why didn't that Abyss Rule attacker take those people from the Great Sun Sect away?"
Li Fugui shook his head. "Unclear."
The Great Elder's eyes were profound as he said, "This matter is somewhat peculiar. Being Abyssalized and then killed precipitates Abyssal Crystals. If this situation can occur with Near King-level beings, then this matter becomes extremely important!"
The Great Elder's words caused a change in the expressions of everyone at the meeting.
Clearly, everyone had thought of one issue: if a Near King-level cultivator refines the Abyssal Crystal precipitated from an Abyssalized Near King-level powerhouse, could it rapidly advance their cultivation to the King-level realm?
The Great Elder was very close to reaching King-level!
If it were possible, then the Great Elder obviously wouldn't pass up this opportunity to attempt a breakthrough to King-level by refining Abyssal Crystals!
Li Fugui lowered his head. "Unclear."
The Great Elder looked at him and said indifferently, "Continue pursuing the traces of that cultivator. Have Li Paor promoted to Vanguard General to hunt down that foreign enemy who dares to invade the Dark Nation!"
Upon hearing this, a thick chill suddenly rose in Li Fugui's heart. He understood the Great Elder's meaning.
Under the Great Elder's gaze, Li Fugui heavily lowered his head and said, "I understand!"
"Transmit that batch of Abyssal Crystals over!" the Great Elder said.
"Yes!"
Li Fugui nodded.
All the Elders remained silent, offering no further comment on the matter, instead quietly waiting for events to unfold.
The spatial transmission of the items was completed very quickly.
The Great Elder, located at the very center of the Dark Nation, gathered the over hundred Abyssal Crystals before him. After careful study and confirming the safety of the Abyssal Crystals, he immediately began absorbing them.
After several attempts, a dense black light flashed in the Great Elder's eyes.
"These resources have a slight effect on me as well, but what is most suitable is undoubtedly Near King-level Abyssal Crystals!"
The Great Elder's mouth curved into a smile. "Whether this is a trap or a windfall, I must obtain sufficient resources for advancement. King-level! King-level!"
The Dark Great Elder developed a strong interest in that Abyss cultivator. He didn't care about any strange aspects within this. As long as he could obtain enhancement, that was enough. Even if he had to sacrifice all the Near King-level cultivators in the Dark Nation, it didn't matter!
On the other side.
City Lord Yu had already begun managing the three thousand God Realm Seas he had contracted.
He dispatched members of his clan and subordinates to open up Chaos Channels between the three thousand God Realm Seas.
Because the three thousand God Realm Seas were extremely close to each other, the channels didn't need to be opened very long. Channels connecting to each other were opened among all three thousand God Realm Seas, allowing them to form a complete God Realm Sea cluster.
Cultivators traveling through the Chaos Channels could achieve astonishing speeds, capable of teleportation, making transportation extremely convenient.
City Lord Yu also established a Chaos City at the center of the three thousand God Realm Seas. Not only did it connect to all the God Realm Seas, but it also linked to a channel leading to a teleportation array!
City Lord Yu planned to establish a major transportation hub city!
This plan was extremely perfect. In just over a thousand years, City Lord Yu had basically succeeded in its construction!
City Lord Yu Dong stood on the city wall, watching the Star Han Kingdom cultivators coming and going at the city gates. The entry fees alone brought him a daily fortune!
"Father, have you already advanced to Continent-City Level?" a young man beside him asked with pleasant surprise.
Yu Dong chuckled and nodded, "That's right, I have indeed broken through."
"Congratulations, Father!"
Yu Dong laughed heartily, "No need to rush. Manage this city well. Your future resources for advancement are right here!"
Yu Lai's heart immediately grew fervent as well.
He looked inside and outside the city, a sense of shared pride and accomplishment welling up within him.
"Father, what is that?"
Yu Lai pointed towards the end of a Chaos Channel.
"Hmm?"
Yu Dong looked into the distance and indeed saw clusters of black mist rapidly approaching.
"That's... Calamity Energy?" Yu Dong looked puzzled at the surging Calamity Energy. "Where did this come from?"
When he extended his perception into it, he saw faint, flickering white figures moving within the black energy.
"Calamity Fiends?"
Yu Dong's face changed. Without another word, he immediately contacted the kingdom's army stationed in the city!
The reason his city could be so stable was precisely because a detachment of the kingdom's army had its garrison located within his city, which deterred any troublemaking among the traveling cultivators.
After sending the message to the kingdom's army, Yu Dong also immediately issued a notification to everyone within the city.
"I am City Lord Yu Dong of East City. I now have an urgent battle report to notify everyone. Outside the city, a large number of Calamity Fiends are approaching to attack. The specific strength is unknown. I specially request everyone to proceed to the city walls to assist in defense. This City Lord will calculate rewards for everyone based on your contributions!"
Yu Dong's reaction was extremely swift.
The cultivators in the city who were trading, resting, or cultivating were all startled awake.
Many immediately climbed onto the city walls, looking beyond the Chaos!
They indeed saw dense black energy rapidly approaching the city. Within the black energy, the figures of Calamity Fiends were faintly visible.
