These forty-six Earth Immortals were flattering Lin Xuankong so blatantly, and the flattery was so nauseating that even Lin Xuankong himself found it sowhat hard to bear! Most crucially, even though Lin Xuankong had already put away the Buddha Summoning Talisman, not a single Earth Immortal thought of fleeing at this point. The scene of twenty-eight Earth Immortals from the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect being wiped out in just two breaths’ ti had seared a terrifying, indelible, and unforgettable image into the hearts of every Earth Immortal present!
"Alright, there’s no need for such nauseating flattery!" As those Earth Immortals from the Five Elents Immortal Sect were enthusiastically currying favor, Lin Xuankong’s expression suddenly changed, and he spoke.
The forty-six Earth Immortals from the Five Elents Immortal Sect imdiately fell silent and quietly looked at Lin Xuankong, waiting for his next words.
Lin Xuankong’s gaze reverted to its cold deanor. He looked at the forty-six Earth Immortals from the Five Elents Immortal Sect and said coldly, "Since you forty-six have sworn by the Immortal Path to serve henceforth, I will give you an opportunity!"
The faces of the forty-six Earth Immortals from the Five Elents Immortal Sect instantly showed obvious joy. The feeling of narrowly escaping death, welling up from the depths of their hearts, made every Earth Immortal in the Five Elents Immortal Sect feel as if a great weight had been lifted.
However, Lin Xuankong continued, "But, though the death penalty is waived, punishnt cannot be avoided! The lives of thousands of disciples from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect cannot be lost in vain! And are my life and freedom—the life and freedom of , Mu Shiba—things that scum like you can covet?"
The Grand Elder of the Five Elents Immortal Sect, the Five Elents Wanderer, understood imdiately upon hearing this. This was the best chance for the Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect to stay alive. He imdiately cupped his hands in salute and said, "What commands does Tributor Mu have? Please, speak freely. As long as it is sothing the Five Elents Immortal Sect possesses, even if we have to offer up all the sect’s resources, the Five Elents Immortal Sect would not dare to object. Even if it is sothing the Five Elents Immortal Sect does not possess, as long as Tributor Mu gives the word—be it in the depths of Boundaryless Mountain or the territory of the Profound Yin Demon Sect—I, the Five Elents Wanderer, am willing to lead the disciples of the Five Elents Immortal Sect to venture forth!"
Lin Xuankong frowned slightly. "First, from today onwards, your Five Elents Immortal Sect must cleanse its practices. If another ruthless, tyrannical, and shaless figure like Flaming Blade Duan River appears in your Five Elents Immortal Sect, that will be the day of your sect’s annihilation. When that ti cos, not a single mber of your Five Elents Immortal Sect, from top to bottom, will be spared!"
The Five Elents Wanderer’s expression turned solemn upon hearing this. "As you command!"
Lin Xuankong then continued, "Second, your Five Elents Immortal Sect needn’t bother bringing those magical artifacts of yours, which are little more than scrap. I, Mu Shiba, have more Immortal Artifacts than I can even use; what would I want with them? From today onwards, within thirty days, your Five Elents Immortal Sect must prepare for materials for five thousand Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Additionally, after thirty days, your Five Elents Immortal Sect must prepare for materials for five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts every month. As for when these materials might change, or what they might change to, I will naturally inform you at that ti!"
Upon hearing the second demand, the Five Elents Wanderer’s face involuntarily changed color. It was well known that even for the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, preparing materials for one thousand Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts would require considerable ti. Although the Five Elents Immortal Sect was stronger than the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect, preparing materials for five thousand Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts within a month was an imnse pressure. It would also require a trendous cost, likely depleting more than half of the Five Elents Immortal Sect’s foundational resources! Moreover, after that month, the Five Elents Immortal Sect would be burdened with the ’enormous debt’ of providing materials for five hundred Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts every month! It was easy to imagine how much this Grand Elder of the Five Elents Immortal Sect’s heart bled upon hearing the second demand.
However, despite his heart bleeding and his facial expressions betraying his inner turmoil, the Five Elents Wanderer was very rational at this mont. He knew that the fate of the forty-six Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect was at stake. Thus, with a drastically changed expression, the Five Elents Wanderer said in a slightly hoarse voice, "Tributor Mu, rest assured. I and the other Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect will imdiately make arrangents upon our return to the sect. The five thousand portions of Initial Tier Immortal Artifact materials will absolutely be handed over within thirty days!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuankong’s expression softened slightly. He smiled faintly and continued, "Hmm, I hope you, Five Elents Wanderer, will not risk death and the annihilation of your path by breaking your oath! As for other conditions, there will naturally be a third task, a fourth, a fifth, and so on, up to the five thousandth, even the fifty thousandth. However, I haven’t thought of them yet. When I do, I will naturally inform you!"
Five thousand tasks, fifty thousand tasks??? Hearing Lin Xuankong’s words, the Five Elents Wanderer’s heart twitched. But considering that from now on they would be Immortal Servants to this Tributor Mu, the Five Elents Wanderer could only cup his hands and nod. "I will respectfully follow Tributor Mu’s command. From this day forward, the forty-six Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect will all be Tributor Mu’s Immortal Servants. Serving Tributor Mu is our duty. Never mind fifty thousand tasks; even if it were five hundred thousand, five million, or fifty million tasks, as long as Tributor Mu commands, we will give our full effort without the slightest hesitation!"
The other forty-plus Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect also hurriedly cupped their hands and bowed, expressing their absolute obedience, vowing to be Lin Xuankong’s most loyal Immortal Servants from now on.
A few monts later, the Five Elents Wanderer led the many Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect away from the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect to prepare the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact materials for Lin Xuankong.
Materials for five thousand Initial Tier Immortal Artifacts. Even if the Five Elents Immortal Sect possessed substantial foundational resources and could afford the price, collecting such a vast quantity of materials was a colossal undertaking. Even for a sect like the Five Elents Immortal Sect, the First Immortal Sect in the Central Divine Dynasty Western Region, it would require mobilizing the entire sect’s power, even drawing upon the strength of every Dynasty under its jurisdiction! The crux was the one-month deadline; it was no wonder the Five Elents Wanderer and the forty-plus Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect were anxious.
Once the nurous Earth Immortals of the Five Elents Immortal Sect had departed, the Earth Immortals from the Profound Pure Immortal Sect, Guangqing Immortal Sect, Profound Law Immortal Sect, and the many other large and small Immortal Sects of the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance imdiately ford a long queue. They approached Lin Xuankong sect by sect to swear allegiance, beco his Immortal Servants, receive their tasks, and so forth.
After a period of ti, equivalent to several tea breaks, the more than three hundred and forty Earth Immortals had all finally received their respective tasks. With imnse respect, they bade farewell to Lin Xuankong, each returning to their own Immortal Sect to prepare the Initial Tier Immortal Artifact materials.
Only after the last Earth Immortal had departed did Sect Leader Li of the Spiritual Crane Immortal Sect excitedly float over to Lin Xuankong’s side. "Tributor Mu, this... taking everything into account, from the Seventy-Six Immortal Sects Alliance—excluding the Fire Spirit Immortal Sect, whose Earth Immortals were all annihilated—the remaining seventy-five sects are actually required to prepare a total of sixty thousand portions of Initial Tier Immortal Artifact refining materials for you within one month???"
