Chapter 1577 A Hundred Million
Once Yuan and Xi Meili left the Pavilion of Knowledge, they disappeared into the Purple Sea. Bai Ning left shortly after and returned to her clan in the upper heavens to update them on the situation.
"Where are we going now?" Xi Meili asked Yuan as they soared across the Purple Sea.
"A place that will allow me to kill a lot of magical beasts," he calmly said.
"Why?" Xi Meili raised an eyebrow.
Although divine beasts and magical beasts are beasts, magical beasts are typically simpleminded and instinct-driven animals mutated through spiritual energy, so divine beasts don"t feel anything even if magical beasts are slaughtered. In fact, divine beasts often slaughter and consume magical beasts, which is akin to humans cultivating with spirit stones and monster cores.
"I need to kill a hundred million ent.i.ties…" he sighed.
"A hundred million?!" Xi Meili"s jaw dropped at this astonis.h.i.+ng number that would take years of constant grinding.
"I would love to ask why you"d need to kill so many, but I"m a little afraid to do so…" Xi Meili swallowed nervously.
Yuan chuckled and said, "You just asked. Anyway, it"s a quest—something I need to do to become stronger."
"You"re already powerful enough to kill immortals. I cannot imagine how much more powerful you can become." "No, I am not powerful enough to kill immortals. I only managed to kill that one because his cultivation was restricted. If I had to fight him at full power, he"d easily kill me." Yuan shook his head at reality.
"Still, I don"t think anyone else out there can boast of defeating someone nine realms above their own strength."
"With so many experts from the upper heavens showing up, I will need to become strong—much stronger if I want to protect you and everyone." A glint of determination flickered within Yuan"s eyes.
"We could"ve asked Xuan Kun, but we had already left the Pavilion of Knowledge." Xi Meili then said.
"It"s fine. I intend to return to the others first. We can figure out the rest afterward." After returning to the Cultivators" Haven, where Meixiu and the others are in seclusion, Yuan said to Xi Meili, "You can return to training if you want. I"ll be away for a few days." "I"ve had enough training for now. I"ll take a look around the city while I wait for your return," she said.
Yuan nodded, "Stay safe."
She chuckled, "Don"t worry, I doubt many Bai Xutao are out there." Yuan logged off the next moment.
Once he returned to Earth, Yuan went to relax inside the bathroom by soaking in medicine. Even though the medicine no longer had any effect on his body, it still felt better than an ordinary hot bath.
After getting out of the bathroom, Yuan noticed a card placed on the desk beside the bed.
He picked it up and read its contents.
[Chairman Lee has contacted us on... The Great Battlefield has finished with its renovations and will resume Faction Wars soon. Our Faction War with Fiery Garden of h.e.l.l has been scheduled.]
"Two days ago, huh? Luckily, I finished my business in Cultivation Online earlier, or I would"ve missed the Faction War," he mumbled to himself.
The Demon Sealing Faction and Fiery Garden of h.e.l.l was scheduled to begin in three days.
He went to the training grounds to see if anyone was there, but it was empty.
Everyone was busy with their training in Cultivation Online.
With nothing else to do, Yuan went to the balcony and started playing the zither to pa.s.s the time.
A few hours later, Meifeng knocked on the door.
"You can enter."
Meifeng walked straight to the balcony and said, "You saw the note, right?"
"Yes."
"Do you really intend to fight the Faction War alone?"
"Yes, but I"ll need you there to be the ruler," he calmly nodded.
"Of course, I"ll be there."
"I"ll make my way to the Eternal Lotuses now. I"ll see you at the Great Battlefield."
Sometime later, Yuan disappeared into the clouds, speeding toward the Eternal Lotuses" headquarters.
When he arrived, the guards at the entrance instantly recognized him and said, "Our leader is expecting your arrival, Player Yuan." Yuan followed one of them inside and was led directly to Bai Lianhua"s room.
"Welcome, Yuan. I"ve been antic.i.p.ating your match since Miss Meifeng told me about it two days ago." Bai Lianhua greeted him with a bright and beautiful smile.
"If I was any slower with my business in Cultivation Online, I would"ve missed it and disappointed you." Yuan smiled.
"But you didn"t. Anyway, Yu Rou is in her room."
Yuan nodded.
"Ah, before you go to her, I"d like to thank you again for all your help. The resources you"ve given us greatly benefited every member of our faction, and our faction"s prowess skyrocketed in a short time." "That was the purpose to begin with. Maybe you"ll be able to get your revenge on the Fiery Locust Swarm soon."
Bai Lianhua"s eyebrows suddenly raised, and she said, "Unfortunately, that may no longer be possible, as the Fiery Locust Swarm had been disbanded after their rank was stripped and their leader and a majority of their members had been banned from partic.i.p.ating in further Faction Wars for using drugs during their match with the Demon Sealing Faction."
"Oh, right. I forgot they did something like that." Yuan chuckled.
"Fiery Queen and her faction also faced ridicule since the Fiery Locust Swarn was under them." Bai Lianhua added.
"So they must be extra p.i.s.sed off right now. This is great. It"ll make our match even more entertaining."
Yuan left to meet with Yu Rou shortly after.
The following day, Yuan traveled to the Great Battlefield with Yu Rou and Bai Lianhua.
When he arrived, Meifeng was already waiting for him—alongside the other members of the Demon Sealing Faction. This time, every member was present. However, none of them would be partic.i.p.ating in the Faction War and were there as mere spectators.
