In the astonishment of countless people, Wang Lu finally finished reading his report. At this time, the quarrel between the several Elders behind him also came to an end. Wang Lu clearly heard that the Disciplinary Elder wanted to confiscate all of his Master's illegal gains in accordance with the sect's rules. His Master protested several times, but to no avail. She could only swallow the bitter fruit and put on a sullen face. Seeing her expression as if she had just been raped, Fang He was helpless and did not pursue the matter further.
Seeing this, Wang Lu could not help but sneer. His Third Uncle thought that Wang Wu was too simple. If this fellow's wealth was really robbed, she would not have this expression. But now, this "I admit defeat" attitude could only mean one thing: she lied about her illegal gains! The millions of spirit stones that his Third Uncle collected were simply irrelevant to her! The advertising fee that those sponsors gave her was not just a mere millions of spirit stones. At least, the first sum of money was just a deposit, and later on, there would definitely be a high percentage. Actually, if one thought about it, how could a million spirit stones cover the price of a public advertisement in the highest specification meeting of the Wanxian League?
However, there was no need for him to say these words. When he returned to the mountain, he would slowly discuss the percentage with his Master. After all, he could not advertise while she took the benefit.
Moreover, after Wang Lu finished reading the draft, it was time for the most important agenda item of the day: the opening of the group of immortal tombs.
The entrance to the group of immortal tombs was originally hidden at the bottom of the ancient sword tomb. However, in recent years, the Excavation Management had fully excavated and transformed the ancient sword tomb. And in order to cater to today's ceremony, they also deliberately built the entrance into a real gate and placed it on the vast grassland.
If there was only one gate, it would look very lonely. However, when Feng Yin Daoist Master raised his hand and held up the key to open the immortal tombs, the entire grassland lit up. The overgrown weeds and the rooted soil sunk one after another, and a complete city rose from the soil amidst people's exclamation.
Looking at the amazed eyes of the people present, the several high-level Excavation Management on the golden platform secretly nodded their heads.
This city was actually a gift project, specially built for the opening ceremony. It looked magnificent and orderly, but in fact, it only took a short three days from the establishment to the completion. Several Nascent Soul cultivators joined hands to cast a spell, and a city that could accommodate tens of thousands of people came into being.
To a large extent, this city was based on the Taobao City of the Western Continent. However, the layout of the city was more reasonable and orderly. The main purpose of the city was to build a large number of supporting facilities around an inexhaustible treasure house. On one hand, it was convenient for cultivators to enter the group of immortal tombs to dig for treasures. On the other hand, it was also to fully explore the commercial value of the group of immortal tombs. After seeing the Taobao City of the Western Continent, no one doubted the attraction of the group of immortal tombs to the cultivators of Nine Regions. This place would certainly become one of the most popular areas in Nine Regions, and the area around the entrance of the group of immortal tombs was truly a land of gold.
The core area of the city had already been divided by the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League before the construction started. Among them, the two most valuable pieces of land around the entrance belonged to Lingjian School and Shengjing Sect respectively. The rest of the land belonged to Ten Thousand Arts Sect, Kunlun Immortal Sect, and Royal Soldier Sect. Actually, when Feng Yin Daoist Master proposed the project, he could also rely on the outstanding contribution of Wang Lu and his authority in the Excavation Management to let Lingjian School get more benefits. It was just that, after discussing with Lu Li, he thought that with the size and characteristics of Lingjian School, it was meaningless to occupy too many areas, so it was better to use it as a favor.
In addition to the areas that have already been reserved, there were still a lot of vacant land left in the city, which was planned to be auctioned at the right time, and the proceeds would be managed by the Excavation Management.
After the emergence of this city, Feng Yin Daoist Master named it "Plentiful City", which implied a harvest city, and also a kind of commemoration. Before the Age of Chaos, there was a city in the Nine Regions that was famous for its richness, which was also called Plentiful City.
However, this Plentiful City, which contained infinite future, was destined to be a foil today, because the gate of the immortal graveyard was about to be truly opened.
The key to the immortal graveyard was jointly held by Hetu Daoren and Feng Yin, and they slowly put it into the gap of the gate. After a short yet long wait, the heavy door suddenly opened, revealing an expanse of star-like brilliance.
In the midst of the fine light, a nebula-like whirlpool slowly and powerfully rotated. At the same time, an old voice came from the gate.
"After waiting for so long, I finally see a living person."
As soon as the voice fell, several figures flashed in front of the gate. Tian Lun, Zhuri, and Kuqin instantly stood beside He Tu and Feng Yin. The leaders of the Five Uniques of the Wanxian League had gathered and confronted the voice from the gate.
Regardless of how much preparation the Excavation Management and the Wanxian League had done in advance, there were still many unknowns in the world after the gate was opened, and unknowns also meant risks.
Wang Lu's experience in the lowest level of the Ancient Sword Tomb had more or less spread out, and the story of Sword Demon Zhong Shengming was also well known by many archaeology enthusiasts. And if a Dixian level character who withstood the four in nine divine tribulations was only used to guard the gate, then it would not be strange for anything to appear in the immortal graveyard.
And once there was a real danger, these leader-level cultivators were naturally duty-bound. Just now, they sat upright on the golden platform, looking down at all living beings. Behind this privilege also meant a special obligation.
Four Supremes of Unity Stage and one Peak Deity Stage — in fact, after defeating the Prophet of Holy Light Religion outside of Taobao City, no one dared to regard Feng Yin as an ordinary Peak Deity Stage cultivator. With such power, even if a True Immortal came down to earth, it would not be good. The voice from the gate paused for a moment, and then somewhat helplessly said.
"Don't be so nervous, I haven't eaten people for a long time."
Seeing that there was no response from the five people at the gate, the voice from the gate was somewhat disappointed. "After tens of thousands of years, it's not easy to make a joke, but no one responded to it? Has the current immortal cultivation world become so impetuous and utilitarian that they don't even have the mood to talk to an old man who has just been unearthed? Very well, as you wish, I'll go straight to the point. "
"Being able to open this group of immortal tombs proves that you should be aware of its value, but you may not realize the price behind this value."
Upon hearing this, the five peerless cultivators had different complexions. After a long time, Feng Yin slowly opened his mouth and tentatively said, "This immortal tomb uses the power of the Feng Shui line as the core, and the words and deeds of the cultivators that go deep into it lead to the cause and effect to create suitable magical treasures. The so-called price is the experiential learning that the cultivators have to go through."
This answer was, of course, wrong, at least far from perfect. It was true that this was the basic principle of this immortal tomb, but it was like going to a restaurant to eat and only calculating the cost of the ingredients, not considering that the chef and the waiter also have to live. The power of the Feng Shui line and the cause and effect of the cultivators were only the basic cost of creating magical treasures in the immortal tomb. The existence of this group of immortal tombs must have a more profound meaning.
Sure enough, the voice from the gate said, "This is not the price. The treasures in this group of immortal tombs have an inestimable value for you right now — with all due respect, after sleeping for tens of thousands of years, I am quite disappointed to see that the current Nine Regions has become so weak — and if you want to obtain the treasures, experiential learning alone is far from enough. Would the people who built this group of immortal tombs care about the experiential learning process of you, the later generations? "
Feng Yin said, "So what exactly do you want?"
"Responsibility." The voice from the gate lightly said, "The group of immortal tombs is the legacy left by the ancestors. If you want to take away the treasures, you have to inherit the will of the ancestors, which is a necessary responsibility."
Feng Yin was not surprised by this. It should be said that in the past few years of preparation for the opening of the group of immortal tombs, the research on this group of immortal tombs had been carried out in depth, which was enough for people to make a preliminary judgment.
"The people who built this group of immortal tombs were a group of great pioneers. They built this group of immortal tombs for a noble reason. During this period, they traveled all over the Nine Regions, and even traveled thousands of miles to the Western Continent to exchange skills with the sages from afar. Then, with the knowledge obtained from the other continent, they finally completed this group of immortal tombs. "
Hearing this, everyone present understood why the Golden King's Treasure House and the group of immortal tombs were similar, and why the key to the group of immortal tombs was in the hands of Golden King. They also had a vague answer.
However, people were also more curious. What was the purpose of the people in the past to build a great building that had no meaning to them at all costs?
"As for the specific reason, you will know it when you gradually go deeper. This is not a one-off deal, but a step-by-step test. The deeper you go into the group of immortal tombs, the more benefits you can get, but at the same time, the greater the responsibility you have to shoulder."
At this time, someone suddenly asked, "What if you just want to take the benefit but not the responsibility? Is there any shortcut to take? "
Such a naked and even shameless question, among the ten thousand people present, only one person dared to ask it so openly. Everyone turned their eyes and saw a woman with snow-white clothes and fluttering long hair, who was maliciously smiling.
Behind the woman, several Elders of the Lingjian School were trying to stop her from speaking, but they were forced by her invisible sword qi to not get close to her.
The voice from the gate was not angry. "That's impossible. When you get the treasure, you will naturally shoulder the responsibility that you should shoulder."
"Can't it be divided?" Wang Wu seemed to have guessed something. The smile on her face gradually became a bit more dignified. She then picked up the wine gourd from her waist and drank more than half of it in one go.
The voice from the gate didn't answer. After a long time, it let out a sigh. "It feels good to talk to a living person. Even if it's only two or three sentences, it's better than talking to myself in the immortal tombs for tens of thousands of years. Unfortunately, my power has been exhausted. Future generations, try your best to explore the immortal tombs, not only for the ancestors, but also for yourselves. "
With that, the nebula vortex inside the gate automatically dispersed, and the voice also disappeared without a trace. However, the stars behind the gate became more dazzling and soon connected into one, as if silently welcoming the arrival of people.
The leaders of the five great sects looked at each other, and then Feng Yin took the initiative to step forward. "As the director of the Excavation Management, I should take the lead."
Hetu Daoren nodded and did not object. The first to enter the immortal tomb was, of course, likely to get the greatest benefit, but it was also likely to encounter the greatest danger. It was best for Feng Yin to take on this responsibility. As for him, Hetu Daoren, as the leader of the Wanxian League, it was not appropriate for him to force himself to take the lead at any time.
"I'll also go with you. I don't want to wait for a moment longer for the secret left by Dixian." With that, Supreme Tian Lun also took a step forward, intending to go with them.
For the first exploration of the group of immortal tombs, these two were enough. Even if other people had the intention to go, they didn't think that they were worthy to go with Tian Lun and Feng Yin.
The two sect leaders looked at each other. With Feng Yin in the lead and Tian Lun in the back, they walked into the gate one after the other. While everyone was watching and wishing them well, a leisurely figure slowly walked into the gate. His pace was indescribably bold and confident. That light and gentle posture seemed as if the two people in front of him were just the pioneers, while he was the real protagonist.
That person was Wang Lu!
