Chapter 1031: Chapter 75: There Is No Path to Immortality in This World (37)
In front of us is a colossal island.
Though unsure how we were transported to this location, without a doubt, Daoist Bai Jie glanced around at the position where his side was located—on the edge of this island: the beach.
It seems not everyone has been transferred to the same location; Daoist Bai Jie roughly glanced around, approximately half of the people were not on this beach.
The fine, golden sand conveyed a soft touch, while the sparkling seawater behind washed up and retreated, leaving clear watermarks.
Meanwhile, the group of demons was at a corner of the beach. The spot where all members of the demon clan landed was the rocky outcrops on the beach. Similarly, the demon clan was not entirely gathered, some faces were absent… for instance, the extraordinarily ferocious Huang Baifu was missing among the crowd of demons.
This place is inexplicably strange, but undoubtedly, the Spiritual Energy here is remarkably rich, not inferior to that beside the Jade Dragon Pillar.
It seems the state of Spiritual Energy here is inherent to this place itself, unlike the Jade Dragon Pillar which was caused by the release of Spiritual Energy during advancement.
“This isn’t sand!” Suddenly, a young Taoist from the Daoist Association exclaimed, “This is gold!”
The golden ‘sand’ slipped from the hand of the young Taoist at that moment. However, he quickly grabbed another handful, and with a sound of a ‘boom’, a cluster of bright red flame was generated in his palm.
Under the heat of the flame, the ‘sand’ quickly melted, gathering into a puddle of golden liquid. Shortly after, as the golden liquid cooled and solidified, it surprisingly turned into real gold!
Such a vast expanse of beach, unexpectedly, is entirely made up of this high-purity gold!
Although for Taoists, wealth is not considered the most important… historically, cultivation has always emphasized financial, physical, and magical resources, and wealth allows one to possess more resources.
A few kilograms, dozens of kilograms, or even hundreds of kilograms of gold may not concern these Taoists… but what if it’s an entire massive beach of golden sand?
Not just that, the seawater washing up seems to carry some shiny objects… upon closer inspection, one would find they are nearly flawless pearls, jade, and agates!
As it turns out, beneath this beach lies countless heaps of treasures!! No wonder the seawater appears to shine!
“President Huanyang, Vice President Lai, and Vice President are not here…” A man who seemed rather posed whispered beside Daoist Bai Jie, “Besides this, Qingcheng Mountain, Tianfu Cave, Five Elements Sect… the panions from nine sects are also not seen. But they were present in the deep valley.”
“I know.” Daoist Bai Jie nodded his head, “Over there… it’s not just Huang Baifu, Qu Xinghe, and Xiao Shengmo are also missing. It seems to be a random transfer, hmm…”
Daoist Bai Jie mused silently, deep in thought.
At this moment, demons gathered in a corner of the rocky outcrop began to walk towards the Taoists, with Ming Tus Mountain stepping forward directly, ing to stand before Daoist Bai Jie, clasping his hands with a smile, “Daoist Bai Jie, I find this place peculiar, how about we set aside some minor disputes and cooperate in handling it?”
Most of the power from China’s fighting forces has been gathered here, yet was inexplicably transferred to this strange island, rendering the methods obscure and unfathomable, causing foreboding in Ming Tus Mountain’s heart; if the outside skirmishes continue here, it would clearly be an unwise move.
Originally, this conflict was initiated by Huang Baifu and had nothing to do with the Black Tortoise Clan… moreover, just as Daoist Bai Jie stated, the relationship between the Black Tortoise Clan and the Taoism-cultivated field is indeed better than that with any of the demon clans.
After all, the Black Tortoise Clan had a True Martial Great Emperor from Taoism once, didn’t they?
Naturally, the Four Spirits of Heaven are ancient Divine Beasts worshipped in ancient China, each having historical ties with Taoist origins, but as times change, the only remaining legacy is the True Martial Great Emperor’s Taoist lineage.
“Hehe, panion Tu Shan, what you said is quite reasonable, doing good for goodness’ sake.” Daoist Bai Jie nodded with a smile at this moment, “Strength es with unity, weakness with division; it’s rare for panion Tu Shan to grasp profound righteousness.”
Ming Tus Mountain bowed his hands, “Old man here sees the tall peak at the center of this island reaching into the clouds, constantly exuding an astonishing aura of dignity, which surely conceals the secrets of this place. Perhaps we could find the reason for our transfer here or even a way back. This beach, though a treasure trove, with gold and silver treasures, is not of utmost importance to us. Daoist Bai Jie, what do you think…”
“Then let’s set off.”
Daoist Bai Jie nodded his head, then giving orders to let everyone prepare and start advancing towards the tall peak at the island’s center.
Nonetheless, many Taoists still secretly stuffed into their pockets the rare and valuable treasures they found on the beach.
Which family doesn’t have descendants bustling in the mundane world?
These rare and valuable treasures don’t have much utility to Taoists, but they can certainly benefit descendants, right? So, naturally, it’s… collect, collect, collect!
…
“Cannot contact, there are a total of twenty-eight missing personnel.”
At one corner of the island, a man wearing a Management Bureau uniform approached Captain Hong Ling, reporting meticulously.
As for the other three captains, they were within a ten-meter radius, inspecting the locale.
They arrived on site after Huang Baifu’s one Tyrant Fist smashed a corner of the deep valley.
Just as they intended to intervene to prevent this level of bat from spreading, a strong light emitted from the peculiar pillar, and then they all came to be in such a strange place.
Currently, Captain Ling Feng and his subordinates are in a primeval forest—here the ancient trees are so grand, placing just one outside, it would probably be classified as a nation’s protected level, right?
“No signal at all, satellite positioning isn’t working either…” Captain Ling Feng helplessly tucked his phone into his pocket and said with a sigh, “Looks like we can only take it one step at a time.”
Saying this, his gaze fell on a team member—the member from the Management Bureau held a black briefcase in his hand.
Fortunately, during this strange transfer, the box wasn’t lost… inside it contained the ‘Meteorite God Bullet’, worth tens of millions per piece.
This is also the real trump card secretly developed by the Management Bureau for suppressing the Dao Monster!
“Glasses, please take out four magazine clips first. Everyone should equip one… this place, feels not so easy to deal with.” Captain Ling Feng looked up at the towering ancient trees… vaguely, he seemed to see a giant mountain silhouette in the clouds above.
“Are we really going to fight?” Hong Ling was a bit astounded, “A magazine clip with ten bullets costs several billion… feels like it’d escalate quickly!”
The captains: “Emmmmmm…”
…
A flash of white swept across the mountain ravine elegantly at that moment.
Her face was cold and indifferent, showing no hint of joy or sorrow… But undoubtedly, she was one of those transferred after the white light, and her aim was towards that mountain peak.
…
Where is this place?
Tai Yinzi rubbed his chin, observing the surroundings — after pleting a New Year’s project activity and returning, intending to replenish some spiritual power, I had decided to sneak some of Ms. Maid’s flower tea to drink. Only then did I discover something in the storage room, which had caused me to seemingly bee possessed, run out, and finally collide with a spiritual energy beam. But before I had a chance to understand the situation, I was dragged to this ghostly place.
After recalling the previous events, Tai Yinzi suddenly changed his expression dramatically, kneeling on the ground with his hands supporting his body.
“It’s over!! I’m doomed!!! I’m definitely doomed this time! Last time, I just broke a shabby old plate and was hung up for seven days and seven nights…”
“Though it is said that this is stuff from the former sect, which instantly brought back past memories and made my brain twitch. But…” At this moment, Tai Yinzi forcibly grabbed his own hair, filled with regret!
Although the storage room’s door was left open, who knows if this isn’t You Ye digging a pit for me… This isn’t the first or second time!
Could it be that my Main God Project is too excellent and received the master’s praise, causing this maid to feel jealous, worry about her position and deliberately set me up to lower the master’s evaluation?
Hmph! Little girl, these petty thoughts cannot escape the Dharma Eye of this old Taoist!
As long as I continue managing the game world, continually harvesting high-quality souls, being a Gold Black Soul Envoy is just a matter of time. By then, I’ll be the Black Soul Chief, rising to the top as clerk, smoothly step into spots of prosperity, and a mere maid will only fawn over me!
Little girl You Ye, you just wait to serve me tea, massage my shoulders, and sing songs for me!
“But…” Tai Yinzi finally calmed down, and at the same time looked at the small box tucked in his arms, furrowing his brows, “This thing… is affecting my mind.”
But at this moment, the small box suddenly started to shake, the degree of shaking was even somewhat violent, and the items inside seemed ready to burst out at any moment!
Tai Yinzi felt he could barely suppress the contents, so he directly opened his mouth and swallowed the box — the box seemed to have undergone eerie changes due to external influences.
However, the Black Soul Envoy’s body is akin to a natural isolation zone, and once the box entered Tai Yinzi’s body, it stopped its intense shaking.
Tai Yinzi couldn’t help but wipe his sweat, sighing as he began to examine the surroundings — no doubt, he was now in a chaotic stone forest.
But just as he was about to leave this stone forest, he suddenly heard a loud noise, followed by a slight tremor from the ground!
In front, several stone pillars suddenly fell, and the heavy stones hit the ground, causing that slight trembling sensation.
The fallen stone pillars stirred up a cloud of dust, and amidst this dust, a burly figure gradually emerged.
In an instant, Tai Yinzi saw an iron plate-like man, wearing a vest and slacks with leather shoes, and other than that, just a big gold chain, his appearance was sunny and imposing.
This made Tai Yinzi instinctively think of the protagonist’s appearance of a certain ic he had read while supplementing his network knowledge for developing more activities on the Main God Mountain in the game world recently.
“Jo… Jotaro?”
“Hmm?”
The iron tower-like giant also undoubtedly glanced at Tai Yinzi, displaying an expression of impatience and disdain.
What could I say?
Eight-character mustache, afro, deceitful gaze, yellow leopard print jacket, tight pants… in his fifties.
“Old man, who the heck are you?” The giant man frowned and asked.
Tai Yinzi unconsciously displayed an imposing presence, “Ahem, I am Lord Tai Yin, the fortunate chosen one, and you have been…”
Tai Yinzi suddenly stopped talking.
Habitually reporting such a title wasn’t his intention — it’s just that the giant man’s question was so familiar to Tai Yinzi — basically, every person entering the game world for the first time asks the same kind of question.
“Nonsense, absurd, eat my fist!”
Boom—!!!
Dust flew, as an immense cloud of sand erupted from the ground, skyrocketing up… The giant’s fist was like a rocket launcher with an extremely terrifying power.
But this punch indeed landed on the ground, not on the bizarre old man; the giant lifted his eyes, seeing the quirky old man now standing atop a stone pillar, rubbing his chin and saying, “Oh? You can see me? Demonic power… are you a monster?”
Since securing a steady customer base, Tai Yinzi hasn’t recruited customers externally for a long time, and his working status as a Black Soul Envoy remains from his last experience with Cheng Yiran—ordinary people cannot see the Black Soul Envoy.
But the giant didn’t answer at all, swiftly leaping, swinging yet another punch towards Tai Yinzi’s chest.
This time, Tai Yinzi didn’t dodge, letting the fist land on his chest — a miraculous thing happened, the giant’s fist easily pierced through Tai Yinzi’s chest.
Vaporization!
One of the standard abilities of the Black Soul Envoy!
After the fist penetrated Tai Yinzi’s chest, the fist force swept through a large part of the stone forest ahead, with the sound of huge stones shattering constantly heard.
“Young man, don’t act impulsively, don’t you know how to respect the elderly?” Tai Yinzi squinted, spreading his hands and said, “Let’s get along well!”
“Respect your mother!!” The giant man at this moment snorted coldly, retrieving his fist, and threw a vicious uppercut again.
Tai Yinzi still didn’t dodge, waiting for the fist to bee powerless under the vaporization ability, planning to teach this brute a lesson.
But a tragic thing occurred.
This fist solidly hit his chin, Tai Yinzi felt like his head got hammered, his body spiraling upwards, face disfigured, then dropping to the ground like a dead fish…
