Chapter 1114: Chapter 456: The Protagonist’s Plan That Ended Before It Began (2)

In this way, maybe he won’t just catch up with progress, he’ll directly surpass it!

Thinking of this, his heart flared with excitement, and he shouted, "Go!"

He exerted the blood and flesh within the chestnut-red horse, making it seem as if it were on steroids, as it frenziedly galloped towards Zhenyue City.

Outside Zhenyue City, Ma Jia used his ability to manipulate flesh, adjusting his height and facial features to change into someone indistinguishable from a cultivator.

Zhenyue City could only prevent sneaking in but couldn’t discern his direct adjustment of flesh for transformation and disguise. Showing the token of the Demon-breaking Army trial to the city guard, he smoothly entered the city.

The progress thereafter went exceedingly well, his disguise was not seen through, and he successfully handed over the token, completing the trial, becoming an official member of the Demon-breaking Army as a cultivator.

The registry under the Demon-breaking Army was a cultivator, not Ma Jia, but he did not mind.

Obtaining the Demon-breaking Army identity was very easy for him. He could completely ride first then buy the ticket, first clear the Immortal Mansion, then turn back to claim the trial.

Holding the Demon-breaking Army badge, he swiftly headed to Li Di Guan to receive the qualification to explore the Immortal Mansion.

He had already planned everything out; regardless of the Immortal Mansion’s focus, or choosing the difficulty of strategies, he’d only pick the one with fewer people.

As long as he could conquer a single Immortal Mansion, he could firmly establish himself in the Dungeon Plane.

But when he raced all the way to Li Di Guan, arriving at the hall for applying to explore the Immortal Mansion, he was dumbfounded by what he saw.

What’s going on? Why are there empty spots at six application places corresponding to seven array eyes in the hall, with only the application place marked with "Phecda" having a cultivator waiting behind the table?

Is it the end of the workday?

He exited the hall and glanced at the sun in the sky, no, the day was still early.

An ominous premonition surged in his heart, and he quickly walked toward the Phecda application place, bowing to the middle-aged cultivator responsible for application registration and granting exploration qualifications for the Immortal Mansion, he asked:

"Senior, I completed the Demon-breaking Army trial on an outing a few days ago, just returned to Zhenyue City, dare I ask what’s the situation, why can’t I apply to enter the other Immortal Mansions?"

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator sighed with emotion, saying:

"You young man are unlucky, you missed a major event."

Ma Jia asked, "What major event?"

The middle-aged cultivator pointed to the sky, excitedly saying:

"Celestial Beings who once went to Overseas Immortal Mountain, upon learning of the chaos caused by demons, started returning to Da-Xuan gradually from yesterday."

Ma Jia heard these words, and suddenly felt a pang in his heart.

"Celestial Beings? What Celestial Beings?"

The middle-aged cultivator waved his hand, unwilling to explain to the unknown young man before him, saying:

"You just need to know that they are prominent figures from beyond Da-Xuan."

"It is rumored they reside in Overseas Immortal Mountain, their cultivation legacy never broken, each possessing profound cultivation. In a single day, they’ve broken through six out of the seven Immortal Mansions!"

"The array eyes of the six Immortal Mansions are activated, the last Immortal Mansion being broken is just a matter of time."

The middle-aged cultivator exclaimed:

"The Demon Realm has materialized, Demon Qi rampant, I thought the world was on the brink of catastrophe, didn’t expect there’s still a turning point."

"With the Celestial Beings here, Da-Xuan will be peaceful."

After hearing this, Ma Jia only felt his head buzzing, not, what does this mean, how come in a day, six out of seven Immortal Mansions have been broken?

Originally being satisfied with his ranking of nineteen, now he instantly felt less satisfied.

With seven leaving just one, it equates to all the native people in the world along with players entering the World Dungeon, all squeezing into Phecda Immortal Mansion, you could imagine the competitive pressure.

He tentatively asked, "Senior, then can we still explore and obtain blessings from the Immortal Mansion since the array eyes inside have been activated?"

The middle-aged cultivator shook his head, saying, "Certainly not, once the array eye is activated, the Immortal Mansion will be merged into the Purple Star Inscription Grand Array, except for those recognized by the Immortal Mansion, others cannot enter."

Upon hearing the middle-aged cultivator’s answer, Ma Jia’s heart utterly sank, he gritted his teeth, clenching his fist.

This is too much, these seven Immortal Mansions clearly were prepared for the ten-thousand players entering the World Dungeon, allowing players to obtain blessings, how can they hog the resources by entering the Dungeon ahead?

Where is the morality, where is the fairness, where is left of the Immortal Mansion.

He didn’t have time to scold other players who entered the World Dungeon first; at this point, he must seize the only remaining Phecda Immortal Mansion.

"Senior, I want to take advantage of the last chance to see the legendary Immortal Mansion, please help me register for the qualification to enter Phecda Immortal Mansion."

The middle-aged cultivator took Ma Jia’s Demon-breaking Army identity badge, calmly picked up the register, and began to slowly grind ink while saying:

"Then you better hurry, if your steed is fast enough, you might catch the first round of tests."

Ma Jia felt his blood pressure rising, you know I’m anxious, yet you leisurely make flippant remarks, if it weren’t for the crowd here, he would’ve punched Zhong Deng a couple of times.

Holding back his anger, he said, "Senior, I’ve admired the Immortal Mansion for a long time, please hurry."

The middle-aged cultivator shook his head slightly, saying, "Young people are just impatient, rushing in this way might not even get you through the first gate of the Immortal Mansion."

Before the middle-aged cultivator could finish grinding the ink, a red paper crane flew into the hall and landed on the table.

The middle-aged cultivator was stunned, then looked up at Ma Jia, smilingly saying:

"Young man, you’re in luck."

Ma Jia was puzzled, but seeing the demeanor of the middle-aged cultivator, it seemed like something good had happened, so he asked, "Please enlighten me, senior."

The middle-aged cultivator said, "The final test of the Phecda Immortal Mansion has been broken, lucky I spent extra time grinding ink, saving you from all the hustle."
