The acc.u.mulated strength in the ropes shocked many people.
Every rope was connected to a winch. On it was the power of about 400 cultivators.
Each group had arranged 15,000 winches, and many experts had joined.
However, it required the combined strength of four groups to barely make the chain move.
This meant that the acc.u.mulated power had finally broken through the static inertia of the Netherworld fragment.
!!
With this acc.u.mulation, their speed quickly reached the level of a mortal jogging.
Although the speed was not fast, compared to the absolute stillness earlier, this was still a relief.
As long as they moved, there was still hope.
However, this chain was more than 44,000 kilometers long.
If they relied on this speed alone, how long would it take to pull that Netherworld over?
Just maintaining this speed clearly could not satisfy them.
Under the orders of the higher-ups of the Divine Judgment Hall, the beacon towers continued to burn.
Then, there were five groups, six groups, seven groups, eight groups, and nine groups!
With more than twice the strength, the speed at which he pulled the chain gradually increased. When it stabilized again, it roughly maintained the average flying speed of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
In this way, they could travel 1,000 kilometers in a day.
44,000 kilometers of distance only needed 44 days to pull the two pieces of Netherworld fragments together.
It was barely acceptable for the duration to be slightly more than a month.
“City Lord Nine Nether, is there really no other pa.s.sageway in that Netherworld?”
Standing by the chain, Jiang Li and a group of higher-ups of the high-grade Divine Judgment faction stood there and watched as the chain was continuously pulled back.
The twisted s.p.a.ce prevented them from easily approaching.
“Are you talking about the overlapping illusion? Shouldn’t everyone know better than me?”
Be it the overlap of the Ghost King Desolate Ground and the Netherworld Illusion, or the illusions of the Land of Blood and Tragic Death City, they had been discovered by the Divine Judgment Hall a long time ago.
In the cultivation world of the Eastern Region, even if there were many regions like the Ten Directions Region that were not ruled by the Divine Judgment Hall,
However, after so many years, they had basically sent people to investigate. In terms of acc.u.mulating this secret information, Jiang Li could not compare to them.
“As expected of the Divine Judgment Hall. You can gather so many people in a short period of time.”
“However, these people shouldn’t be enough.”
The acc.u.mulated strength could indeed pull the Dragon Imprisoning Lock at a decent speed.
However, they were not Jiang Li, so they could not unleash their full strength like a perpetual motion machine 24 hours a day.
In fact, when ordinary cultivators practiced spell techniques, they had to be careful with their spiritual qi when fighting.
Cultivators below the Golden Core realm could only store spirituality in their meridians and Qi Sea because they did not have a physical spiritual qi core.
They could only maintain their output for one to four hours at most.
High-level cultivators above the Golden Core realm had stronger endurance. The time spent in fights between cultivators after the Nascent Soul realm was often calculated in days.
However, they also needed more time to recover.
Even if they controlled the time and immediately meditated without exhausting their strength, they would often need twice or thrice the time to barely recover.
That was only spiritual qi recovery, not including physical and mental recovery.
Of the ten groups of people that were originally prepared, only one group was left as the subst.i.tute. Clearly, it was far from enough.
If this continued, they would at most last for half a day before everything stopped.
The experts of the Divine Judgment Hall were not fools and naturally thought of this.
60 million people were only the threshold!
“We still need to gather people, at least three times as many as now to maintain the operation.”
“These people are all pulled from the coastal front line. If we want to continue, many internal affairs of the sect will have to be suspended.”
“The losses incurred and the price of recruiting them will be several times higher. It will also take longer.”
“We’ve already posted notices in various cities. We should be able to gather a portion of the rogue cultivators.”
“My Beast Control Sect is mobilizing demon beasts like bulls and horses. As long as we change the winch, we can replace a portion of the manpower…”
The few Earth Immortals beside him quickly explained the current situation.
Although it was a little difficult to gather manpower, with the size of the Divine Judgment Hall, it was only a matter of whether they were willing to take it out.
The only problem now was time. They needed people who could arrive in a short period of time to support them.
The few people from the Divine Judgment Hall looked at the Ghost City Lord.
Jiang Li had long known that these fellows definitely had a motive for inviting him over so enthusiastically.
Fortunately, their goal coincided with Jiang Li’s.
“As long as the reward is enough, Fengdu City can provide temporary manpower.”
Jiang Li, who was wearing a mask, nodded in agreement.
With his own brute force and the ghost soldiers of a city, it was enough to match the strength of 30 million people.
Coupled with the fact that Jiang Li was a perpetual motion machine that did not need to rest, just by his own effort, he could reduce the original 60 million people to 40 million people. It could greatly ease the pressure of the Divine Judgment Hall.
Since there were three groups of people needed, they could reduce the manpower by 60 million people!
Coupled with the experts of the Divine Judgment Hall personally entering, it was enough to make up for the lack of manpower.
