Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 309: Chapter 246: Immortal Dao Sects, Attacking the Royal Court

The flow of starlight paused. Wang Yi had just ridden the Starlight River right up to the Galaxy Airship.

The hatch of the Galaxy Airship opened. With a hearty laugh, Wang Yi led Xiang Yun inside.

The Starlight River then swiftly condensed into a single point of light and flew back between Wang Yi’s eyebrows.

Traveling with the Starlight River was certainly fast, but it came at the cost of consuming the river itself.

Wang Yi had just consumed one such stream, but he had since repaired it, performed another Refinement, and absorbed it back into his body.

This particular Starlight River was the shortest one Wang Yi had found on Yamero Star to date. At only 60 meters long, its Refinement cost a mere 60,000 Chaos Energy.

This little river was useless for combat, but it was more than enough for travel.

Of course, when factoring in the Mountain and River True Qi used to repair the Starlight River and the cost of activating Starlight Rush, Wang Yi’s trip of less than a minute had still consumed over 70,000 Chaos Energy. Ordinary Players couldn’t afford it, but Wang Yi had a whole mining planet to his name, so this expenditure was nothing to him.

Inside the Galaxy Airship, Wang Bushi, Zhao Wukang, and the pilot, Frank, immediately saluted Wang Yi.

Seven Fist Emperor Taisens were also inside the airship, and they too saluted at once.

When Wang Yi learned that Man Datou had actually gone to the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court alone, hoping to subjugate the Ancient Barbarian Race, he couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

’This simpleton. He’s not even a Player, yet he’s trying to push the plot forward? He’s no smooth talker, and he thinks he can win with words alone?’

Wang Yi immediately concluded that Man Datou was doomed to fail.

However, the 17th Border Barrier of the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court could only be breached from within. Normally, it would take a great deal of time to devise a strategy. If Man Datou could break this barrier, a swift conquest of the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court would become possible.

’For now, all we can do is wait. I have the Ghost Gate Thirteen Needles, No-Damage Attack, and the Tongyou Jade. As long as Big Head can fight his way out of the Royal Court, he’ll live. But if he dies inside...’

Wang Yi shook his head. The Soul Altar in his territory could only resurrect Players, not dead Indigenous People or hatched units. If Man Datou fell in battle inside the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court, Wang Yi figured he’d have to rely on the natural cycle of reincarnation to see him again.

With nothing to do but wait, Wang Yi started to feel a bit bored. He took out a gold Chaos Blind Box, gave it a couple of perfunctory prayers, and opened it.

====

’Ten options, not bad at all! Mad, Ancestral Burial Garments? Can burial garments even be passed down? Is golden High-Calcium Milk still milk? What would happen if I drank it, just a calcium boost? And that last one, Cactus... is it a real Immortal’s palm, or just a spiky green plant?’

Wang Yi muttered to himself and, after a brief comparison, chose the Enhance +9 [Immortal Dao Sect’s Construction Drawings].

====

Name: Immortal Dao Sect’s Construction Drawings +9

Description: Use to construct a Cultivation Sect in your territory. This Cultivation Sect requires a Player with a Cultivation Profession to serve as the Sect Leader, allows for a custom name, and has its own independent, small-scale sect growth system.

Immortal Dao Sect Configuration Preview:

Ability One: [Small-Scale Sect Growth System] +3. An Immortal Dao Sect established by a Player has a limited size and growth potential. By completing system tasks, you can unlock the construction of an Alchemy Room, Artifact Refining Room, Spirit Medicine Garden, Spirit Beast Garden, and Training Room, for a total of five buildings.

Enhancement Effect: The five buildings are upgraded from small-scale sect Level to super sect Level.

Ability Two: [Sect Leader Authority] +2. The Sect Leader of the Immortal Dao Sect can utilize sect growth permissions to perform daily management. Upon taking the position, the Sect Leader is gifted a Sect Leader’s Hall.

Note Two: This Immortal Gate Dojo is designated as an open subordinate institution of the territory, under the jurisdiction of the Lord Player.

’Build a self-named Immortal Dao Sect and let Adventurer Players be Sect Leaders? Interesting!’

Wang Yi contentedly put away the [Immortal Dao Sect’s Construction Drawings]. He figured that once the sect was built, he could make Zhao Mei the first Sect Leader. She could take on Indigenous People as disciples, and he could appoint three more Sect Leaders later. It seemed like it would be fun.

Next, Wang Yi took out the [Ancient Barbarian Kingdom’s Great Secret Treasure Map]. The item was already active, showing both Wang Yi’s current location and that of the Great Secret Treasure.

Judging from the Treasure Map, the Great Secret Treasure had to be somewhere inside the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court.

’Getting this Great Secret Treasure is going to be a pain. I’ll probably have to wipe out the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court to even get a shot at it. I wonder what kind of loot is inside...’

Wang Yi pondered silently. Seeing no movement from the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court up ahead, and still unsure if Man Datou could break through the Border Barrier, he started doing some callisthenics inside the Galaxy Airship just to pass the time and get some exercise.

About half an hour later, Zhao Wukang suddenly slapped his thigh and exclaimed, ”He did it! The Commander broke out from the Ancient Battle City, one of the four major cities! There’s a breach in the 17th Border Barrier! We can attack the Ancient Battle City now!”

Wang Bushi said urgently, ”Then what are we waiting for? Let’s head to the Ancient Battle City, back up Man Datou, and begin the assault!”

Wang Yi’s expression sharpened. ”There’s no time to lose. Attack the city at once!”

”Yes!”

Zhao Wukang mentally connected to his Scouting Divine Eye to monitor the four major cities outside the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court. There was no time to mobilize the main Taisen force; he immediately gave Frank their heading.

The Galaxy Airship began to move, arriving outside a massive city in less than ten minutes.

Man Datou was still in the thick of a bloody battle. He was drenched in blood and, though still fighting fiercely, his body was covered in wounds. Even his Iron Cloth Shirt had been broken.

There were three to four hundred Barbarian Witch Warriors surrounding and attacking Man Datou. From behind them, Bronze War Chariots and Bronze Fighters gave chase. Farther back still, nobles of the Ancient Barbarian Country were charging out of the city gates, wielding Bronze Firearms.

Wang Yi glanced down and barked, ”Rescue him!”

”Yes!”

Xiang Yun and Wang Bushi were the first to respond, shouting their assent in unison. Wang Bushi shot out of the Galaxy Airship first. He activated his Thunder Fire Transformation, rode his Wind and Fire Wheels, and, with the Spear of Destruction on his back, used Rushing Headbutt to charge straight for the gate tower.

Xiang Yun brandished his long spear, summoned his Demon Dragon, and mounted it, charging straight down into the enemy formation to rescue Man Datou.

Zhao Wukang activated a skill, tossing a Totem Pole-like Divine Healing Totem onto the battlefield below.

The seven Fist Emperor Taisens also leaped from the Galaxy Airship.

Wang Yi wasn’t idle, either. He leaped from the airship, manifested his Great Sage Avatar, and went on a killing spree.

Seeing the reinforcements, the blood-soaked Man Datou let out a great laugh and roared, ”You savages, prepare to be conquered by force!”

By now, Xiang Yun had landed in front of him. The Demon Gun Knight, who possessed four Talents, let out a cold snort as his Battle Armor detached from his body, transforming into a Mechanical Beast that moved to guard Man Datou.

The Mechanical Beast bared its fangs and brandished its claws. Its mouth and four paws glowed with an eerie blue light, giving it a ferocious appearance.

It was, of course, the Ion Beast!

The Ion Beast had a combat form, its Combat Skills were extremely high, and its power was immense.

”General Man, you’re heavily injured. Fall back and recover! Leave these grunts to me!”

Xiang Yun let out a sharp cry. With a shake of his long spear, black flames erupted around his body, and he began a merciless slaughter.

Xiang Yun’s Level wasn’t high, but his skills were powerful, and his combat prowess was extraordinary. Even if Man Datou, now a Little Witch, were restored to his peak, he still wouldn’t be a match for Xiang Yun.

When Xiang Yun attacked, he was even more ferocious and direct than Man Datou.

BOOM!

Up ahead, Wang Bushi had brought the towering gatehouse crashing down.

Just then, Wang Yi received a regional notification: ”Ding! Ancient Barbarian Country war plot has advanced. A breach has appeared in the 17th Border Barrier. The Ancient Battle City, one of the four Garrison Cities, has lost its barrier’s protection and can now be conquered!”

”Ding! The gatehouse of the Ancient Barbarian Country’s Ancient Battle City has been destroyed. Ancient Barbarian Country war plot has advanced. The Garrison Cities of Ancient Fighting City, Ancient Power City, and Ancient Barbarian City have lost their war barrier protection!”

”Ding! Tip: By conquering the four Garrison Cities of the Ancient Barbarian Royal Court, the 17th Border Barrier of the Ancient Barbarian Country will be completely dispelled. Conquering any one of the Garrison Cities will grant one Supply Treasure Chest.”

Wang Yi’s focus sharpened upon hearing the system notifications.

’There are Supply Treasure Chests, too? I wonder if they contain any Chaos Blind Boxes?’

Just as he was thinking this, two giants, fifty to sixty meters tall, suddenly appeared from behind the collapsed gatehouse up ahead.

The two giants had skin of rock and were bound in handcuffs and shackles, making them look incredibly cumbersome.

[Mountain Giant: War slave of the Ancient Barbarian Country. High-Level Heroic Level combatant. Ultimate power guarding the Royal Court. Upon defeat, has a chance to drop a Recruitment Scroll, Chaos Egg, or Chaos Blind Box.]

Wang Yi read the two giants’ information. He was just about to show off and unleash a Great Ore Vein Mountain God to make short work of them.

But Wang Bushi attacked first, launching a Flame Spear that skewered the two rock giants like candied haws, piercing straight through their chests and obliterating them.

DING! DING! Two items of loot dropped.

Wang Yi quickly summoned a Bronze War Chariot and rode it over to check. He soon found a Recruitment Scroll and a Green Blind Box.

’These rock giants are pretty good, they actually drop Blind Boxes. Hopefully, I’ll be able to build a giant army later on.’

Just as Wang Yi was thinking this, he saw a large number of Mountain Giants emerge from behind the ruins of the city gate.

’Looks like this wave is going to be a windfall.’ ”Kill them all!”
