System's Super Sect Chapter 1071 - 990: The Holy Land in the Hearts of Heaven and Earth Lake’s Human Race—Immortal Sect (Part 2)

So much so that they would pore over the Immortal Daily numerous times.

Not for any other reason than to knowingly endure hardship, yet still relish the torment that reading it brought.

Thus, the following morning, when the fresh Immortal Daily was once again disseminated by the Wing Race Demon King, millions swarmed to acquire it.

An immense crowd was observed leaping hundreds of feet into the air, snatching up the Immortal Daily before excitedly descending.

"I secured one!"

"I got it!"

Those fortunate enough to seize a copy immediately sought a place to sit, wholly engrossed in their reading.

The opening was astounding!

The Sword Demon Elder and the Immortal Sect Leader were actually plotting an invasion of the territory belonging to the Heaven-Shrouding Tower.

A counterattack!

The sheer audacity of the Sword Demon Elder and the Sect Leader left everyone in disbelief, involuntarily gasping.

"Aren't the Sect Leader and the Sword Demon Elder excessively bold? To plan a counterattack against 25 Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted powerhouses!"

"I feel my blood surging! From this day forward, the Sword Demon Elder and the Sect Leader are my idols!"

...

Amidst continuous gasps of amazement, the article presented a simple account, devoid of elaborate descriptions.

Yet, it conveyed a profound truth!

That the Sword Demon Elder single-handedly battled 25 Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts. Outnumbered, he was at a disadvantage, but the forces of the Heaven-Shrouding Tower progressively weakened.

In essence, 25 individuals were unable to overcome the Sword Demon Elder alone!

Upon reading this, the crowd erupted in excited cheers.

"The Sword Demon Elder is impossibly powerful, isn't he?"

"One man against twenty-five! Who else could achieve such a feat?"

"Sword Demon Elder!"

"Sword Demon Elder, I wish to bear your children!"

Amidst the surging cheers, Pei Wu, Bainian Hanshan, Long Yue, and others, similarly clutching their Immortal Dailies, exclaimed in wonder.

When five invincible powerhouses below the Celestial Unrestricted realm made their appearance.

A collective tension gripped everyone's hearts once more.

For the Sword Demon Elder was swiftly overwhelmed.

He was completely outmatched!

Then, the Sect Leader summoned more Immortal Sect powerhouses and three dragons.

A wave of cheers erupted anew.

The tide of victory turned back towards the Immortal Sect.

"True Dragons!"

"The Immortal Sect actually possesses three True Dragons, each invincible below the Celestial Unrestricted level. I always believed True Dragons were mere legends!"

"The Heaven-Shrouding Tower forces must have been stunned then. They thought they had the advantage, only for the situation to completely reverse!"

"What a dramatic turn of events!"

As sighs of awe spread through the crowd, the demise of Shan Tianhun, one of the primary leaders of the Heaven-Shrouding Tower's Vanguard Army, sent the entire Heaven and Earth Alliance, and everyone in Heaven and Earth Lake witnessing this event, into a frenzy of cheers.

The inhabitants of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, and everyone in Heaven and Earth Lake reading the Immortal Daily, now viewed the Immortal Sect as a sacred sanctuary in their hearts.

The most hallowed ground imaginable!

An boundless adoration for the Immortal Sect's formidable cultivators.

On this momentous day, countless individuals adopted the Immortal Sect's experts as their role models, secretly vowing to dedicate themselves to diligent cultivation with the aspiration of joining the Immortal Sect.

Furthermore, on this day, below the Immortal Sect's domain, Cangwu City became a convergence point for throngs of people, with many more journeying from distant lands.

Though they knew the Immortal Sect was presently recruiting, they were content to settle in Cangwu City, patiently awaiting the day the Immortal Sect would open its gates for new disciples.

This influx, however, presented a significant challenge for City Lord Huan Cheng of Cangwu City.

Because Cangwu City possessed a finite capacity for its residents.

Despite Wenping's modifications enhancing Cangwu City's population allowance, it could not indefinitely accommodate an unlimited number of people.

With no other recourse, Huan Cheng urgently sought assistance from Yunlan Mountain.

Nevertheless, he hesitated to directly trouble Wenping.

Consequently, he conferred with Elder Yu Mo and the others.

Ultimately, it was Huai Ye and a group of disciples who devised a solution.

Their proposal was to establish both an Inner City and an Outer City.

The current Cangwu City would serve as the Inner City.

Residency within this Inner City would be restricted to individuals who achieved a certain cultivation realm.

The Outer City would be situated beyond the confines of Cangwu City.

In the Outer City, people could reside without any restrictions.

This arrangement would effectively prevent Cangwu City from becoming overcrowded.

Upon Huan Cheng's descent from the mountain and promulgation of this decree, the Inner City quotas for Cangwu City were immediately claimed.

Since Huan Cheng had not imposed any restrictions on trading the residency quotas, within mere hours, the prices for Inner City residency soared to exorbitant levels.

The closer a residency quota was to Yunlan Mountain, the higher its price climbed!

Moreover, formidable individuals from the Mountain Suppression Realm found themselves willing to join the City Lord’s Mansion, all for the allure of residing at the base of Yunlan Mountain and accepting directives from a mere Profound Realm cultivator like Huan Cheng.

For a period, East Lake transformed into another focal point of the Heaven and Earth Lake.

What was once the most desolate region, where few desired to remain, now saw everyone eager to relocate closer to East Lake.

Certainly, amidst the widespread excitement across Heaven and Earth Lake, there was also an overwhelming sense of anticipation for the next day's Immortal Daily publication.

This was because the article from today concluded precisely at the moment when the powerful experts from the Heaven-Shrouding Tower, at the Celestial Unrestricted level, made their grand entrance!

It was easy to surmise the immense fervor that would sweep across the Heaven and Earth Lake when tomorrow's Immortal Daily was disseminated throughout the land.

In summation.

Within a span of merely two to three days, the Immortal Sect, through the sole power of the Immortal Daily, had managed to achieve the true unification of Heaven and Earth Lake.

This unification transcended the mere establishment of a geographic area called Heaven and Earth Lake.

The genuine unification manifested as all inhabitants and all existing powers developing profound admiration, deep respect, and an ardent yearning towards the Immortal Sect.

This was an accomplishment far beyond what mere martial unity could ever attain.

Concurrently, within the hallowed grounds of the Immortal Sect, a tremendous surge of Vein Qi energy erupted, sending ripples of alarm throughout the entire sect.

This powerful energy originated from the deepest recesses of the Immortal Sect's imposing mountains!

It radiated an aura of profound sacredness.

And it was imbued with an overwhelmingly potent and unparalleled imposing presence.

Had Wood Dragon been present, he would have immediately recognized the nature of this imposing aura.

Following the dispersion of the Vein Qi energy, which startled every corner of the sect, a deafening sound, akin to thunderous tremors, reverberated from the Meridian Gate, echoing throughout the entirety of the Immortal Sect.

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

Bang—

And then, a fifth distinct sound!

Boom!

Upon the emergence of this fifth resounding impact, every single individual within the sect instinctively cast their gaze upwards, directing their attention towards the origin of the sound emanating from the Meridian Gate.

All cultivation activities ceased instantly, and the disciples turned their steps towards the rear of the mountain.

Wenping, too, promptly emerged from the Undead Hell, positioning himself atop the Tingyu Pavilion. His gaze was fixed on the depths of the Immortal Sect – the very location where the Sword Demon was undertaking his breakthrough!

"The imposing aura is nearly comparable to that of the Celestial Unrestricted expert from the Heaven-Shrouding Tower, yet it is merely an aura; something essential is still lacking."

Wenping briefly shifted his gaze towards the direction of the Mage Tower.

The Mage Tower was precisely one hour away from the completion of its upgrade.

Abruptly.

The Sound Transmission Stone within his possession suddenly activated.

As Wenping reached out to retrieve it, the distinct voice of the Sword Demon reached him through the stone.

"I have not let the Sect Leader down; I have successfully opened the Fifth Meridian Gate, utilizing a total of three Mirror-Breaking Pills."

Wenping replied, "Your fortune is quite remarkable; including the previously used one, you've only consumed four Realm-Breaking Pills in total."

The high-grade Mirror-Breaking Pill possessed a mere ten percent chance of facilitating a breakthrough to the Celestial Unrestricted realm.

This meager ten percent probability was exceptionally low.

Therefore, the fact that only four Mirror-Breaking Pills were required was a clear testament to the Sword Demon's exceptionally good fortune.

"All thanks to the Sect Leader's profound cultivation!"

The Sword Demon responded with utmost respect.

"Consolidate your realm first. In one hour, proceed to the Mage Tower; I shall await you on the fifth floor, as there is something you will require there."

Wenping intentionally refrained from directing the Sword Demon to the Mage Tower the instant its upgrade concluded.

This was because Wenping intended to visit the Mage Tower himself prior to the Sword Demon's arrival.

The Sword Demon had only encountered the intricacies of magic after the emergence of the Mage Tower, leaving his comprehension of its nuances still underdeveloped.

Consequently, this time, it was incumbent upon him to guide the Sword Demon in selecting a specific path, one wherein the Sword Demon could achieve unparalleled excellence in the future.

Rather than attempting a superficial grasp of all magical disciplines.

Be it defensive capabilities, restorative arts, or offensive prowess.

Although the sect possessed the Fifth World, which considerably accelerated cultivation speed, time remained a somewhat insufficient resource, both for the Sword Demon and the Immortal Sect as a whole.

Therefore, it was imperative for the Sword Demon to first achieve mastery in a single domain.

This could involve dedicating all efforts to cultivating offensive power to its absolute peak.

Or alternatively, focusing all efforts on cultivating defensive capabilities to their utmost limit.

Individuals who attempted to master a multitude of skills often struggled to attain the pinnacle of strength in any single area.

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

The Sword Demon exclaimed with palpable joy. He carefully put away the Sound Transmission Stone and immediately resumed his seated meditation, consuming another high-grade Realm-Breaking Pill.

While consuming additional pills might not directly aid in breaking through realms, the potent energy contained within the Realm-Breaking Pill was more than sufficient to help him firmly establish himself at the Celestial Unrestricted level.

This was in stark contrast to the Red Leaf Sect Leader, Ye Wuping, who, despite achieving a breakthrough during combat, found himself unable to fully manifest his post-breakthrough power.
