Chapter 45: Faction Showdown (2)
At the same time these words were said on stage, there was no fighting in the arena. Hastily joining in on the great recruitment war of Foundation Establishment seniors and Core Formation masters was by no means an easy matter! Which of their opponentâs items and benefits surpassed their own? Regardless of whether they didnât find their according positions, or their advantages were enough to attract Xu Yangyi or Chu Zhaonan, they could forget about participating on the eve of this tempestuous struggle.
Click clack click clackâŚ
the sound of keyboard typing resonated in each of the great clans. It was like passing clouds and flowing water, not pausing the least bit for rest.
âIâm glad Iâm living in the age of Cultivation Civilization nowâŚâ An old woman inhaled deeply with her face flushed. Her chest rising up and down severely, she said shakily, âIf this was the past, how could we dare compete with those leviathans? But now societyâs culture is developing. Several thousand years of cultivation and civilization have fused together in harmony. We have a sliver of a chanceâŚâ
She finished speaking and suddenly opened her eyes, her voice carrying an excited hoarseness. âXu Yangyiâs numerical statistics havenât come out! We of Yuyangâs Song Clan cannot let this opportunity slip by!â
Yes, times had changed. A thing such as law wasnât only something normal people were aware of, but also little Qi Condensation cultivators and Foundation Establishment seniors. Even Core Formation masters had to abide by it, as well.
The law was something that only those at the top of the world could trifle with. If one didnât comply with rules, then there was simply no law. The worldâs system would shatter apart, and the result was absolutely something that the entire Earthâs tens of Core Formation masters couldnât bear!
What about their easy cultivation and supplies? And the people? Would they still want their Core Formation masters themselves to go out searching?
âThe stats are out!â On the other side, tens of men and women in suits beat their keyboards as if their lives depended on it. âAncestor, through the statistics of the final second of qi captured, Mr. Xuâs final fist strength reached 3800 kilograms and his speed was at 80 meters per second!â
The white-haired man who was called ancestor didnât speak. Only his ten fingers intersected together turned white! This... was the data of middle-stage Qi Condensation! It even surpassed ordinary middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivators by a hair!
âGet readyâŚâ The man said tremblingly, his voice crowing as he stood up. âNo matter what, we must fight this time!â
Among everyone, only Chu Tianyi wore a sneer on his face.
Cultivators didnât have much time to handle interpersonal relationships. He himself was a man of sophistication who had come from real âhumanityâ... What Moonchaser had said moments ago wasnât wrong. Xu Yangyi would surely be tempted, however, he had forgot about humanityâs instinct!
Perhaps Moonchaser was planning on having Xu Yangyi set his heart in following him. After all, didnât Xu Yangyi want to become enlightened in an arcane effort? What if he ran into a bottleneck? How would it look if you took my arcane effort and didnât join my sect? But...
But! From how he spoke, everyone knew that Xu Yangyi was bound with a Core Formation arcane effort! Even if it was a sect that they had to move aside for and didnât want to struggle with, at this moment, everyone had to exhaust all of their strength as if their lives depended on it!
âYoung friend, your cultivation is on its way. You will definitely encounter all kinds of bottlenecks. The Floatingcloud Sect wonât force you into becoming a sect disciple by any means, but is there anyone greater than Daomaster Floatingcloud who can point out these obstacles? Yes, Daomaster Floatingcloud has a policy of nurturing talents. However, there is a grand class once every year! His Grace will personally appear to dispel your doubts!â Moonchaser struck while the iron was hot.
Chu Tianyi chuckled coldly and closed his eyes.
The crashing waves would continue to keep pushing and swelling⌠The struggle would truly explode...
Moonchaser didnât pay heed to other cultivatorsâ gazes. His thoughts were rather proper by all rights. Who would dare fight now that Daomaster Floatingcloudâs name had arose? It was nothing but a few major powers, but this prize had unexpectedly hooked such a big fish. He truly did hold boundless admiration for Daomaster Floatingcloudâs foresight.
âCore Formation arcane effort⌠A Core Formation Grand DaoâŚâ Below, a man with a marigold on his chest was breathing chaotically and clenching his fist into a deathly pallor. âZhaoping Cityâs Li Clan, hear and obey!â
âPresent!â
âPlease instruct, Second Clan Master!â
âWe must use our maximum strength⌠to win over Fellow Daoist Xu! Immediately satisfy any of his request!â
âYes!â
âTianfeng Cityâs Su Clan, hear and obey!â Not too far away, a man with reddened eyes said with a hoarse voice, âDonât hesitate at all costs⌠even if the Su Clanâs ancestral legacies are emptied! This man must be won!â
âRecruiting him is the same as recruiting a Core Formation masterâs seed! Our Su Clan will have the hope to emerge into power!â
âBeijiangyuan Cityâs Fang Clan, hear and obey!â On the other side, a man in his early twenties waved both of his hands, rigidly locking his eyes on the billowing qi wall. âNo matter what⌠we must risk it all this time! Immediately contact the Fang Clan if we can transfer all financials! Gold! Spirit stones! Resources! Real estate!â
âBut, Young MasterâŚâ
âNo buts!â The youth turned his head and glared at everyone, breathing heavily like an ox. âAfter we return, I will speak to the ancestor!â
The present was already an ocean of silent undercurrents. In the blink of an eye⌠a tsunami had arrived! Even the crowdâs breathing had joined together to become a great river of passion. Originally⌠Xu Yangyi alone nearly reddened their eyes. Now⌠this person was even bound with a Core Formation arcane effort?!
Was this a joke?! If such a person wasnât recruited, when would they wait to do so?!
Perhaps Daomaster Floatingcloud himself hadn't expected that his prize of an arcane effort could be called an exquisite chess piece by itself. As long as any champion wanted to master it, they would have to go to him to study. It was the same as him beginning to set the title of master and disciple, but he hadnât expected...
Moonchaserâs good intentions had ruined the matter and thoroughly ignited this fire!
Firecloudâs lips angrily trembled into a pasty color. He had believed himself to be shameless enough, but he hadnât anticipated the shamelessness of a Core Formation master. It truly was worthy of praise and admiration!
Standing motionlessly in an invincible positionâŚ
He clenched his teeth hatefully and turned his head. He still wanting to say something, but suddenly, a sharp noise like an arrow piercing through clouds in the sky completely tore open the seemingly tranquil cover!
âThis is the CSIBâs special envoy C-Lilac! I just contacted the branch chief! The CSIB is willing to offer a five billion USD signing bonus! Five supreme-grade spirit stones! An attack-type supreme-grade magik artifact of any choice! A defensive-type supreme-grade magik artifact of any choice! An evasion-type supreme-grade magik artifact of any choice! A supplementary-type supreme-grade magik artifact of any choice! Moreover, weâll establish a medium-scale spirit stone mine for you alone! Itâs accompanied by three types of B-grade rare metals: Mooncrescent Gold, Fireblaze Ruby, and Myriadlight Stone! But itâs not limited to just this! Mr. Xu will get to exclusively enjoy the privilege of an estate equipped with a high-grade Spirit Focusing Formation! Youâll be specially appointed a Wealth Repossession Captain! The special privilege of the Nine National Offices! In addition, the CSIB wonât take a single percentage share!â
Crash!
The crowd finally exploded!
The CSIBâs massive expenditure astonished everyone! At this instant, even the three Foundation Establishment cultivators had turned their heads back in shock.
âYou⌠Youâre truly willing to part with such capital?!â Moonchaser finally understood the folly of what he had done! The CSIB hadnât made a move, but when they did, they spent a frighteningly extravagant cost!
âA mine with three B-grade metals⌠Theyâre planning on arming him to the teeth! Theyâre going to raise him to the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment?! Four supreme-grade magik artifacts⌠Fuck⌠Has Foundation Establishment become four supreme-grade magik treasures?! A high-grade Spirit Focusing FormationâŚâ Firecloud couldnât help but to curse fiercely. This spending style was too great, so great that he didnât dare welcome it! His total value wasnât worth that much!
The worth of a Foundation Establishment cultivator to buy a single person!
Originally, Xu Yangyi wouldnât have been worth so much. It was like he had studied abroad and returned, only his starting point was much higher than where everyone else stood. However, the final result wouldnât simply be him becoming the CEO upon returning from studying abroad after ten-odd years, the position that everyone had struggled for.
But now⌠Xu Yangyi had secured a Core Formation arcane effort! His fiendish aptitude came in addition with a Grand Dao arcane effort that would lead straight to Core Formation!
But what if Floatingcloud didnât teach him later on?
Not a problem! The CSIB still had Core Formation masters stationed in command! Even if their understanding of the Burning Heavens Revelation was inferior to Daomaster Floatingcloudâs, couldnât it be understood via analogy?
What? You donât understand? Speak up, brother, you think I wonât slap you to death and send you flying over the sky?!
With Xu Yangyiâs aptitude that was capable of shaking Sunnihilatorâs stone stele and making it crack, an explosive strength that surpassed ordinary middle-stage Qi Condensation cultivators, and the addition of this Core Formation arcane effort...
Not to even mention a fragrant steamed bun, he was gold! He was the whole hog!
âWe are Fengyiâs Wang Clan! As long as young friend Xu says the word, you will be a candidate for the next clan master! The entire Wang Clan, all of the initial-stage Qi Condensation cultivators will be yours to command!â Before Lilacâs voice even fell, an old man with reddened eyes stood up, not be out done. His voice even shook the sand on the floor. âYoung friend, consider it clearly. Admittedly, joining a big organization is good, but there are countless clauses and rules awaiting you! Donât you want to be as free as idle clouds and field cranes?â
âHehehe⌠Old Ghost Wang, you sure speak full of yourself. Not even speaking about the rank twenty-seventh Burning Heavens Revelation, how could a golden dragon like young friend Xu himself take residence in a shallow cave? A phoenix doesnât perch on a parasol tree.â Before he finished speaking, a seemingly fast-moving-but-motionless old woman with a young girl supporting her stood up. Her wizened and thin hand was like a chicken claw, trembling. âThere are more than a hundred clans present in Nantong Province, and every clan has brought at least 50 to 60 members and at the most 200 elites. In this endless human tide, youâve come to gamble your clan legacies, but youâve completely avoided placing my Chen Clan of Zhaoping, in your eyes.â
âYoung friend Xu, our Chen Clan is no different, but we are Nantong Provinceâs largest alchemy clan! Perhaps all of the Bountiful Treasures Pavilionâs pill elixirs are only model numbers and spread through various channels, but were you aware that true high-grade pill elixirs are never put online for auction?!â
âIn Nantong Province, the Chen Clan stands on top in the way of alchemy. As I just said, if the Chen Clan says we are second, none will dare say that they are first! As long as you sign a contract with my Chen Clanâour agreement wonât be one to death, only a hundred yearsâmy clanâs pill elixirs will be totally opened to you without restriction!â
As her voice came to the end, she nearly yelled, âNo matter the pill elixir! As long as itâs on the market, my Chen Clan will concoct it! You can even ask everyone here, in which of Nantong Provinceâs auctions does the highest-grade pill elixirs not originate from my Chen Clan?â
âIf old madam Chen is speaking like this, then our Fengyiâs Wang Clan wants to throw in our two cents, as well.â Before the first wave had even subsided, a second one had come crashing. A youth in a refined suit stood up and pushed back on his gold-rimmed glasses. He was seemingly calm, yet his palms were already overflowing with cold sweat. âFellow Daoist Xu, my Fengyiâs Wang Clan governs three of the western provinces! Nantong, Yunqi, and Guifang. Which clanâs high-grade Spirit Focusing Formations has not come by my Wang Clanâs hand? The Chen Clan is wealthy, but the Wang Clan stands on similar footing!â
âFellow Daoist Xu, if you join a big organization, we will cup our hands and express our good wishes. However, layers upon layers of rules and etiquette is unquestionably inferior to the joyous liberations of an unfettered lord of a major city! I, Wang Chaofeng, the young master of the Wang Clan, guarantee here that if Fellow Daoist Xu joins the Wang Clan, we will also only sign you on for a hundred years! After a hundred years, Fellow Daoist Xu may do as he will! Not only will my Wang Clan open a Spirit Focusing Formation for Fellow Daoist Xu, the Wang Clanâs three most precious treasures: Six Yin Fairies, Six Yang Gods; Immortal Erudition, and Dragon Swallows Setting Sun, will be open to Fellow Daoist with unlimited access!â

1. Six Yin Fairies, Six Yang Gods - ĺ ä¸ĺ ç˛, If you are familiar with the concept of âDingâ and âJiaâ Both these things represent a duality of Yin and Yang. You might know these are part of the ten heavenly stems, part of Chinaâs ancient sexagenery cycle. These stems are based on elements/animals, part of a sixty day cycle. (twelve animals, five elements) (5*12) Iâm not very good at explaining this.
