Chapter 738: Chapter 371: Divinity Transformation Tribulation

And so, Cheng Zongyang summoned Luo Dingran. After informing him of his decision, he said,

"So, withdraw all the Exploration Teams. There’s no need to explore any further. Once the Barrier is formed, no one is to go outside unnecessarily."

Luo Dingran understood Cheng Zongyang’s meaning. "Yes, Sir!"

With that matter delegated, Cheng Zongyang zoomed out the map, returning to a global view.

In the end, after analyzing the various scenarios, his gaze fell upon Site Number Two.

’Let’s just put it in Site Number Two. The ones coming in the future will be Qi Cultivation Practitioners anyway, so there’s no need to open up a separate location.’ Cheng Zongyang made his decision: the channel would be established within the safe zone.

Although the current safe zone was ten times larger than before, it was still far too small for the number of people who would be arriving.

Therefore, the safe zone had to be expanded further.

Channel Number Two would also be placed in the center of the safe zone.

"Should we inform the locals?" the Ring Spirit asked.

Cheng Zongyang understood the Ring Spirit’s meaning. He thought for a moment, then said, "Erect a Stone Stele nearby with the words ’Transmission Channel’ carved on it. Ignore everything else. After all, other matters haven’t been resolved yet, and not everyone from the Cultivation Immortality Realm has arrived. The repatriations can wait."

"Understood." The Ring Spirit immediately began setting up the new channel inside the safe zone.

It didn’t transfer the existing one, but instead created an entirely new one. ℯℯ𝘭.

As for Cheng Zongyang, he left the Realm of Ten Thousand Races and returned to the outside world to select a location for the channel’s exit point.

He came out of his private lounge at the Commerce Association, and just as he was about to leave, Zhou Zhendong suddenly approached him.

"Zongyang, as you requested, our people have sent invitations to the Emperors of the Seven Kingdoms and the leaders of the Thirteen Royal Families. They should all arrive within seven days. Is there anything else you need?"

Cheng Zongyang replied, "No, that’s all. Just continue to take full responsibility for our expansion plan."

Zhou Zhendong thought for a moment, then replied with a solemn expression, "Alright. I’ll see it done right."

Cheng Zongyang smiled. "Remember, we are the masters of the Immortal City. You don’t need to be intimidated by them. Just treat them with standard courtesy. We need them to cooperate with us, we aren’t begging them for help."

Zhou Zhendong chuckled. "It feels surreal. To think I’m about to meet the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms and the leaders of the Thirteen Royal Families. In the past, I wouldn’t have even dared to dream of meeting a County Magistrate."

"Hahaha, that’s why a man’s got to have dreams. I still need to go set something up, so I’ll leave this to you," Cheng Zongyang said.

"Of course." Zhou Zhendong cupped his hands in a salute.

Cheng Zongyang turned and left.

He had only one purpose for summoning the monarchs of the Seven Kingdoms and the leaders of the Thirteen Royal Families.

He needed their cooperation to not only expand the outskirts of the Immortal City but also to ensure the smooth execution of the future repatriation plan. The repatriated individuals would be gradually dispersed among the various kingdoms and territories under Royal Influence.

Letting the repatriated population live near the Immortal City was out of the question.

He piloted the Flying Cloud Shuttle in a few circles above the Immortal City, finally settling on a location for the channel in the central district, next to the Commerce Association. He could decide what the channel would look like; it didn’t have to be like the passage in the mountains.

He found Li Xuejin, marked out an area, and tasked him with leading a team to clear out the few houses there within three days and then renovate the site according to his specifications.

Li Xuejin didn’t ask any questions and immediately summoned people from the construction department.

With a tight deadline and a heavy workload, a thousand construction workers immediately sprang into action. Once the residents were relocated, the site was swiftly demolished by people from the Ministry of Industry, and all the construction debris was transported outside the city.

In less than a day, an area spanning three alleys and roughly six houses was completely cleared. Then, working day and night, they began transforming it into a walled garden.

Within three days, the Ministry of Industry had completed the site’s renovation.

Cheng Zongyang immediately began to set up the Array.

When everything was ready, he entered the Realm of Ten Thousand Races once more.

"Ring Spirit, it’s ready!" Cheng Zongyang said immediately.

The next moment, a blueprint materialized in front of Cheng Zongyang as the Ring Spirit said, "Just place this at the designated location. You can form it into any shape you wish."

Cheng Zongyang nodded, took the channel blueprint, and left.

As he used the blueprint, a square Transmission Channel, shimmering with a swirling blue halo, slowly took shape.

It was ten meters wide and ten meters high.

Protected and concealed by a Tier Five Array of the same type used by the Cyan Profound Sect, no one on the outside could see what was within.

As the channel finished forming, Cheng Zongyang smiled.

’And with that, all my problems are solved.’

’Let’s give it a try.’ With that thought, he couldn’t help but step inside.

But he found himself blocked by what seemed to be a membrane of light, completely unable to pass through.

"What’s going on?" Cheng Zongyang froze, reaching out to touch the channel.

There really was an invisible curtain of light. At that exact moment, the Ring Spirit’s voice echoed in his mind.

"There’s something wrong with this world!"

Cheng Zongyang was taken aback. "What do you mean?"

The Ring Spirit’s voice was tinged with confusion. "There seems to be an issue with the Martial Arts Realm. I never discovered this before. This is... a seal!"

Cheng Zongyang’s expression grew grim. "You’re saying the Martial Arts Realm is sealed? Blocking the connection between the two realms? Then what about the channel in Site Number Two and its connection to the Cultivation Immortality Realm?"

The Ring Spirit replied, "I just tried to open the other four channels. Without exception, all of them are sealed."

"Can’t you break it?" Cheng Zongyang frowned. ’After all this hard work, if I can’t connect the channels, then everything was for nothing.’

But he had no idea why a seal would exist in the first place.

’A seal on the connecting channels between the Realm of Ten thousand Races and the Martial Arts Realm? Then why was one left open?’

The Ring Spirit responded, "I also ran a quick check. The connection between the channel in Site Number Two and the Cultivation Immortality Realm also has a seal, but it’s in an open state. This means the previous master must have opened that channel deliberately. As for why, I do not know.
