Chapter 735 - 369: Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Function Integration (Part 2)

Chapter 735: Chapter 369: Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Function Integration (Part 2)

With the exception of the yet-to-be-designated communication function, it had nearly fulfilled his initial idea of a "universal pass."

It was just like in the modern world—as long as you had your phone, you could do almost anything.

But the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal had even more, and even stronger, functions.

Going all in, Zongyang continued spending Points and simply added Spiritual Communication to the mix (inspired by the method from Immortal Sword Shushan). Activating Spiritual Communication could be done even by ordinary people, but it would consume Universal Points.

This way, even ordinary people could use it.

Finally, he also went ahead and integrated the handbook information, changing it to a "Rules and Announcements" section that could be displayed and viewed at any time.

After the Ring Spirit approved everything, a brand-new Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal emerged.

——

With the appearance of this brand-new [Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal · Spiritual Interface], all the functions were effectively consolidated, making it far more comprehensive and powerful than before.

Although the teleportation function was intended to address the issue of controlling the passage, its uses were limited. He would need to make other arrangements based on future situations that might arise.

But this situation was determined by hard constraints. After all, the power of the Five Great Immortal Sects was plain to see. If they controlled the entire periphery of the passage and prevented people from entering, he had no way to interfere directly. Even the Ring Spirit was powerless.

Therefore, the solution was to trick as many people as possible from the Five Great Immortal Sects and other top factions into the Realm of Ten Thousand Races. Reducing the flow of people outside would gradually resolve the problem.

Having completed the upgrade to the new version of the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal, Cheng Zongyang made his decision. "Ring Spirit, roll it out. I need to get started on formulating the plans for the Immortal Mountain and the new passage."

"Not a problem."

As the Ring Spirit agreed, Cheng Zongyang didn’t stay to watch everyone’s reactions. Instead, he left the Realm of Ten Thousand Races.

He sought out Li Yihuo and found him staring intently at the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Token in his hand.

Evidently, Li Yihuo had also sensed the token’s update the moment it happened.

"Boss." Noticing Cheng Zongyang’s arrival, he immediately put the token away, tucking it into his sash.

"Mm," Cheng Zongyang nodded slightly. "I’ve confirmed it. The Five Great Immortal Sects have issued secret directives to the Nine-Star, Eight-Star, and Seven-Star factions to provoke a war. They are also pushing these factions to initiate combat themselves, aiming to drag every power in the entire Cultivation Immortality Realm into the fray.

"Whether they’ll succeed in starting the war is still unclear. I’m preparing to return to the Immortal City to set up the Immortal Mountain and handle other matters. The Cultivation Immortality Realm faces immense turmoil in the future, and I already have a new plan. What are your thoughts?"

He hadn’t told Li Yihuo the details of his plan; there was no need to at the moment. He was just asking to hear his subordinate’s thoughts.

Hearing from Cheng Zongyang that war was truly breaking out didn’t surprise Li Yihuo all that much. After all, it was something he had anticipated. He could also guess the Five Great Immortal Sects’ objective in starting the war.

It was the same objective the Noble Families had when they stirred up trouble, ignoring the drought in the Three Mansions—to shuffle the deck and redistribute the profits.

As for Cheng Zongyang’s final question, he thought for a moment before replying:

"Boss, Li Cungang and I will remain here. We mainly want to see how the war develops. Besides, we can also scout for some talent for you. Whether it’s for the Cheng Clan Commerce Association or the Immortal City, we still don’t have enough capable people."

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "Alright, I’ll be counting on you. Also, the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal has undergone some changes, as you’ve seen. It now includes three free teleports. Remember, if you ever face a life-or-death crisis, use the teleport immediately. It can transport you to a safe zone in the Realm of Ten Thousand Races. As long as you’re in the safe zone, you’ll be unharmed."

Li Yihuo nodded. "Don’t worry, Boss. But these Immortal methods are truly incredible, to be able to integrate so many functions into a token and display them as a virtual image."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something and stared blankly at Cheng Zongyang.

’Cheng Zongyang was the one who gave us our Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Tokens. And through my investigations over this period, I’ve learned that the Spirit Seals from the Realm of Ten Thousand Races are identical to the ones the Boss gave us. And he was able to get so many of them!’

Although Li Yihuo had many questions he wanted to ask, his rational mind held him back. ’The Boss has his secrets. As a subordinate, all I need to do is my job.’

Cheng Zongyang noticed the change in Li Yihuo’s expression but paid it no mind. Seeing that Li Yihuo was determined to stay, he left him with some life-saving resources.

Even with a teleport, one still needed time to use it.

Li Yihuo accepted the items and saw Cheng Zongyang out.

Cheng Zongyang then went to find Ma Yue.

When he arrived at Ma Yue’s residence, he was surprised to find both Ma Yue and Lin Feng there.

"Sir!"

"Boss!"

Seeing Cheng Zongyang arrive, Lin Feng and Ma Yue seemed both excited and happy. The smile on Lin Feng’s face was especially wide.

"No work today?" Cheng Zongyang asked curiously.

Ma Yue shook his head. "It seems the Corpse Collection Manor is shutting down."

Cheng Zongyang paused, seemingly guessing the reason, but asked anyway, "What happened?"

Ma Yue’s expression turned serious. "For some reason, all the Qi Cultivators at the manor have been recalled to their Sect, leaving only the Martial Artist deputies to watch over the Corpse Collection Manor. Li Deli didn’t explain, just told me to stay here and that we’d discuss our cooperation later. I suspect something must have happened to the Sect. Otherwise, they wouldn’t go so far as to recall even the Qi Cultivation Disciples."

Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment, then said, "Then there’s no need to wait around. The Cultivation Immortality Realm is about to go to war. Do you want to return with me, or stay with Shopkeeper Li?"

This time, both Ma Yue and Lin Feng were shocked. But they didn’t doubt Cheng Zongyang’s words. Before Ma Yue could even speak, Lin Feng hurriedly said:

"Sir, I want to stay. Since a war is starting, it’s the perfect opportunity for me to raise my Cultivation. I can temporarily join one of the factions and improve my Cultivation through constant battle."

Cheng Zongyang was quite satisfied with Lin Feng’s reaction and decision. The Cultivation Technique he practiced was fated to thrive not in a peaceful environment, but in conflict.

Only through slaughter could his Black Death Soul Power grow stronger.

So he just nodded and looked at Ma Yue. Ma Yue nodded in agreement as well. "Then I’ll stay with Lin Feng. I can also collect more Cultivator corpses for the Boss."

He now had the top-tier storage space of the Ten Thousand Races Spirit Seal Token, which was large enough to store a great number of Cultivator corpses. Even if it ran out of room, he could find a place to stash the bodies and continue collecting. He no longer had to use restrictive Storage Pouches.

Hearing this, Cheng Zongyang thought for a moment and took out two Soul Gathering Steles.

"Then you two can each have one. I’ll grant you temporary usage rights. They..."

After Cheng Zongyang explained the steles’ abilities, he saw their excited expressions and added a warning:

"Although these steles are powerful, you must never let your guard down against Cultivators. A powerful Cultivator won’t give you a chance to strike or even react."

"Yes, Sir!"

"Yes, Boss!"

The two replied in unison, cupping their fists.

"Then get accustomed to using them. Let’s see how many Divine Souls you can collect for me in the end," Cheng Zongyang said with a smile.

"Yes!" they replied in unison once more.

With that, Cheng Zongyang used a Teleportation Array to return to the East Sea Abyss.

Giving the two steles to them served a dual purpose: first, it provided them with a weapon that offered both offense and defense; second, they could collect Divine Souls to continue upgrading the steles’ Grade and Abilities.

Via the Teleportation Array, he made his way back to the Immortal City.

In the days that followed, after meeting with his core personnel, Cheng Zongyang officially launched the Immortal Mountain project.
