Chapter 1151 - 234: Mo Mei and Companion Return in Despair, Ning Zheng’s Invitation

Chapter 1151: Chapter 234: Mo Mei and Companion Return in Despair, Ning Zheng’s Invitation

Three more days passed.

Ning Zheng continued to sit quietly in the tavern, listening to the frontline war reports.

"It’s madness, madness; Wanluan Valley was just the beginning. Now over 430 True Immortals have fallen."

The frontline reports even numb Ning Zheng.

"This is the final frenzy because the projection of the Time Ancient Tomb will only stay open for three thousand years, and it’s about to close."

"Yes, in a while, the space turbulence will be smoothed over again, and time will return to the void."

Don’t think that the projection of this Time Ancient Tomb opening for only three thousand years is short.

In fact, if you don’t break through to Immortal Venerate within these three thousand years, it means that even if you were given six thousand years or ten thousand years in the multi-dimensional space-time, there would be no hope of breaking through to Immortal Venerate.

On the contrary, continuing the brutal and high-frequency battles day and night would drive you completely mad, causing war stress disorder.

Thus.

In the last ten days, every cultivator was charging furiously.

Another two days passed, and it seemed the peak breakout period finally arrived, with frequent breakthroughs to Immortal Venerate beginning to appear.

In the Immortal Realm, two people broke through, and in the Netherworld, three more broke through, yet Ning Zheng did not know or recognize the names of these True Immortals.

This is quite normal.

The history of the Immortal Realm is lengthy. How many True Immortal Great Perfections have been stuck?

Some are core disciples hidden within the Immortal Venerable Sect, unlike True Immortal Momei, who ventures out to earn resources, so of course, they are unknown to outsiders.

Only after becoming an Immortal Venerate do they become known to the world.

But four more days later...

No cultivators broke through anymore; it seemed that everyone who could break through already did.

Moreover, the casualties had multiplied over tenfold!

In just four days, as many as over 300 True Immortals perished in these past four centuries.

Reportedly, up to now, the number of fallen True Immortals has reached over a thousand, including over 130 True Immortal Perfections.

And this is just the official statistic.

Even though prehistoric True Immortals lived in higher dimensions, they only cultivated one path, whereas the True Immortals of the "future" cultivate ten paths, containing ten times the energy, which is enormous!

At this moment, the resources they accumulated, the top corpses of Divine Beasts obtained from fallen True Immortals, have been divided by prehistoric and contemporary Immortal Venerates.

Contemporary Immortal Venerates use these resources alongside prehistoric Immortal Venerates to replenish the nearly exhausted Immortal Vein Domain of the Time Ancient Tomb, allowing minerals to be mined for several million more years.

"To not touch the mundane world, nor get involved in this cycle of causality, might actually be a good thing. Although going in now might already make me a True Immortal Great Perfection, not being greedy ensures a future."

Ning Zheng remained an observer.

As the closing moment of the Time Ancient Tomb approached, a visitor suddenly appeared at Xirong Manor.

Ning Zheng looked at the two people: "True Immortal Mo Mei, True Man Dan Ding, why are they landing on my Xirong’s side?"

The two appeared withered, looking as if their Essence, Qi, and Spirit were completely drained.

Ning Zheng, with a thought:

[True Immortal Mo Mei’s opportunity to break through to Immortal Venerate: 8 trillion Qi Fortune Value.]

[True Man Dan Ding’s opportunity to break through to Immortal Venerate: 5 trillion Qi Fortune Value.]

Previously, True Immortal Mo Mei’s opportunity to break through to Immortal Venerate required a full 20 trillion... now it’s reduced.

According to this situation.

It seems these two people won’t break through in the last three days.

Thus, they chose to leave the battlefield early...

Of course, Ning Zheng not only lacked the funds to help them break through but also had no intention of helping them achieve that.

Moreover, his fate gambling table only helps them find the next opportunity for Immortal Venerate...

It doesn’t directly help them break through.

For instance, the ancient environment of high-dimensional True Immortals right now, isn’t this also an opportunity for Immortal Venerate?

But even with the opportunity in front, they can’t break through!

I could spend 8 trillion for Mo Mei, arrange a fate for another Immortal Venerate, and they might still fail.

It’s not worth it.

It’s still more suitable to stabilize with Jiumu Qing, who needs just 1.5 trillion currently, the price of two Immortal Venerate furniture pieces to half-awaken.

Afterward, she might even have a high chance to fully awaken on her own, saving so much money?

What intrigued Ning Zheng was that True Man Dan Ding, who specializes in support roles and isn’t good in combat, couldn’t compete directly with True Immortal Mo Mei, yet had higher potential to break through than Mo Mei?

Indeed, breaking through to Immortal Venerate doesn’t depend on who has stronger combat power at the Same Tier!

The disparity in combat power is due to the system and Divine Techniques.

Some people’s civilization system is weak, combat power is low, but in the face of the difficulty of breaking through to Immortal Venerate, what matters is personal enlightenment and fate.

"How are things?" Ning Zheng asked upon seeing the two return, though he guessed their circumstances, he still asked out of politeness.

True Immortal Mo Mei looked bitter, shaking her head, "I reckon this biggest Path to Immortality is hopeless for us, and it will be even harder for us to break through in our lifetimes."

The collapse of life’s dream is a blow unimaginable to her.

Yet her demeanor is no different from the future of most True Immortal Perfections.

True Man Dan Ding sighed, "A lifetime of effort, all in vain... all my savings are gone, a total of over 120 billion Upper-Grade Immortal Stones in reserves."

"My condolences." Ning Zheng didn’t know what to say, but of course knew how difficult it was, possibly losing on that battlefield, perhaps defeated by powerhouses or falling prey to various accidents and changes.

True Immortal Mo Mei’s effort, competition, and diligence were evident to all.

It’s known that True Immortal Mo Mei previously braved death to gather many True Immortal Perfection friends to besiege the Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate.

With heavy casualties, she obtained a Law Avatar for realization... her chances should be higher than others...

But still, she didn’t successfully break through!

This might also be due to not being a True Immortal of the Direct Lineage.

For other True Immortal Perfections, if Immortal Venerates are willing to sacrifice, cutting off a Law Avatar and letting you gain enlightenment and fusion... it greatly increases the chance of your breakthrough.

Immortal Venerates have ten systems, don’t be misled into thinking that losing one Law Avatar Tao Rhyme is a flaw like Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerate showing a weakness, but in times of peace, if an Immortal Venerate doesn’t act, who would know you were injured?

You’d recover very quickly.

With an Immortal Venerate’s help, referencing their Tao Rhyme makes the path a thousand times easier.

And for someone like True Immortal Mo Mei without a background, wanting a Law Avatar means assaulting Bottle-Storage Immortal Venerates who send out avatars on missions, being a death-defying ordeal, showing the gap.

To people like True Immortal Mo Mei seeking resources by relying on Immortal Venerates?

They won’t take you!

Immortal Venerates under them have no shortage of those from the direct lineage. Wouldn’t they raise their own clan instead?

Take Wanluan Immortal Venerate; his Saint Child candidate Wan Luanfeng.

And at the current time, the Wanluan Valley of True Immortals, led by the True Immortal General of Su Yuniang’s Ark...

With a mature system, they never lack talent, and internal competition is intense; a faction can only cultivate a single cultivator with potential for Immortal Venerance per generation...

How could they accommodate an outsider like True Immortal Mo Mei?

At the dining table, Ning Zheng could only sigh at the plight of True Immortal Mo Mei and her companion, lamenting the harshness of the cultivation path.

As True Immortal Great Perfection’s threshold quickly approached him Ning Zheng.

Seeing the light fade from their eyes and their pupils lose their luster, Ning Zheng couldn’t help but sigh deeply in his heart: Could a carp leap over the dragon gate? Can I really do it?

But setting aside these thoughts, Ning Zheng still spoke: "At rock bottom, don’t dwell too much on it; easily your Tao Heart could collapse, but perhaps there’s still another chance?"

"The task for now is not to overthink, but to find ways to recover losses."

True Immortal Mo Mei, True Man Dan Ding were stunned, and asked, "Xi Rong, is there new business now?"

"Yes!"

Ning Zheng nodded, "Your timely return a few days early is perfect; we’re at Xirong planning to undertake a big venture, looting heavily from the prehistory before the tomb doors close."

The two exchanged a glance.

Ordinarily, neither would ever do such a thing, but they were now at a dead end, their family assets emptied.

True Immortal Mo Mei had armed ten Beast Taming subordinates under her, each equipped with a Magical Treasure and Magical Artifact; this alone accounts for her poverty, as everything is now damaged; one can imagine how much loss that entails—she is truly destitute and not just pretending.

True Man Dan Ding had lost all his blacksmithing base as well.

If there truly is a way to recover, the two are indeed considering taking a chance.
