Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1913: Chapter 1425: Anchoring_2

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief; as long as he didn’t suddenly disappear with no one knowing his whereabouts, it was fine. Whether he would suffer, get injured, or even fall in the Outer World didn’t concern them, or perhaps they simply didn’t care.

After all, it was his own decision to go to the Outer World, having nothing to do with them.

At the same time.

Ten thousand Xuanshan Army soldiers safely arrived in the Otherworld through the space rift. Perhaps they were lucky, as they landed in a plains region, and there were no creatures with Spiritual Intelligence nearby, reducing the risk of exposure.

The Third Prince was quite upset; he actually didn’t want to come to the Otherworld, but who could have imagined the General would just pull him in directly.

“General Liu, why did you bring me in here?”

Liu Feng bowed slightly as a gesture of apology and said, “Forgive my offense, Your Highness, but it was the Emperor’s command, and I was merely following orders.”

There was really no need to ask; the Third Prince could already understand what was happening. This definitely was arranged by his father, the Emperor; otherwise, even a General, no matter if he is from the Xuanshan Army, would not dare treat him like this!

“Tell me, why did Father instruct you to bring me in here? What are his orders?” He became more serious as he spoke.

“Your Highness must know that besides the Hundred Schools researching the Methods of crossing over, the noble families and royal family of Daqian have also joined forces to research to avoid being under others’ control in the future.”

Liu Jiangjun continued, “They have deduced a Secret Technique, which is to anchor the Outer World! Using us as coordinates, Your Highness will consume Dragon energy from the dynasty to anchor this world!”

The reason for involving the Third Prince was partly because he was already in the hidden valley, not needing

“What?!” The Third Prince couldn’t believe what he had heard.

The Hundred Schools had a similar idea, but they didn’t use people as coordinates or consume the dynasty’s Dragon energy; instead, they used Spiritual Objects from the Otherworld, leveraging the power of formations to trace back to find the world where the Spiritual Objects originated.

“Is this method reliable? Will it threaten your safety or lives?”

Upon hearing this, Liu Jiangjun felt warmth in his heart, his tone softening, “Rest assured, Your Highness, even if this method doesn’t work, it won’t cause much harm.”

The Third Prince was still somewhat skeptical, but he heard him say, “Your Highness, time is short, please quickly learn the Secret Technique!”

“Alright.” He could only agree at this point.

Because their goal was to test whether the Secret Technique could succeed, they didn’t explore further, only cleared the nearby area.

But perhaps it was because the Spiritual Energy was thin here, or rather, the Spiritual Energy of this world was thin; they hardly obtained any Spiritual Objects.

“It seems this place is a barren, remote area,” the Third Prince disdainfully said.

But before Liu Jiangjun looked over, he retracts his gaze and focused on deploying formations, as using them as coordinates was actually a special formation, with them being the formation base, Array Flags, and nodes.

Time passed quickly, seemingly several hours had already gone by.

And there were less than six hours left before the space rift reached its limit!

“Alright!”

In the last two hours, the Third Prince finally set down the Jade Slip.

“Deploy formation!”

With a loud shout from Liu Jiangjun, the ten thousand soldiers, as if they had rehearsed many times, smoothly took their positions.

From a high vantage point, one would see a rather complex and mysterious formation.

The Third Prince walked into the center of the formation, the place where he was to perform the ritual!

“Your Highness, please proceed.”

He took a deep breath, casting aside various troubles and said gravely, “Let’s begin!”

The Third Prince, being a royal family member, and with the current Emperor’s permission, possessed quite a bit of Dragon energy from the dynasty. Seeing everything ready, he began using the Methods.

With a roar, a large mass of virtual fire erupted from within him, reflecting inside his body, making him look like he was wrapped in flames.

With his actions, the formation rapidly started operating, a crimson flame soared into the sky, but it connected through the space rift with the Daqian dynasty in the Primal Spirit Realm!

“Is it a success?!”

A moment later, all the phenomena around the Third Prince vanished, and he spoke with disbelief: “How can it be so simple?”

He did not believe the Methods were already perfected to such a high degree; there might be reasons they couldn’t figure out.

But now was not the time to research these; less than an hour was remaining before the space rift closed, so it was too late for the exploration, and one by one, they traversed back to the Primal Spirit Realm.

“May I ask, Your Highness, what were the phenomena that emerged from the space rift earlier?” Upon their exit, someone asked eagerly.

The group had witnessed everything firsthand, but couldn’t understand what it was. Now that the practitioner had emerged, they naturally wanted to know the cause.

“Afraid I must disappoint you; the Secret Technique wasn’t enacted by us, it passed before us, and we were also quite curious at the time.” The Third Prince lied without any change in his expression, but rather with sincerity, making others think he’s telling the truth.

But it was obvious many did not believe him.

However, from his reaction, it seemed unlikely they would learn anything, and as for Liu Jiangjun and the ten thousand soldiers nearby, even less likely as they didn’t even bother to inquire.

“The matter is resolved, and I shall take my leave.”

In front of everyone, the Third Prince stretched lazily, giving the impression of someone just freed from bondage.

After he left with the Xuanshan Army, the Cultivators from the Hundred Schools looked at each other and then quickly dispersed.

Meanwhile, when the Third Prince activated the formation, in the distant Daqian Imperial Capital, the dynasty’s Dragon energy began to churn, astonishing the officials unaware of the causes, prompting them to rush to the Emperor for consultation on how to deal with the sudden event.

“My esteemed ministers, stay calm; this matter is not an ill omen, but rather a joyous event for Daqian!”

The Emperor, seated high above, observed everyone’s expressions and reactions, and only when their discussions were about concluded did he speak.

When he spoke, the previously noisy hall instantly quieted down, everyone listened to him.

The Emperor informed them that the experiment of anchoring the Otherworld with the Secret Technique had succeeded.

“What?!”

Those who were previously uninformed exclaimed in surprise upon hearing this.

“However, this technique demands large consumption, and requires the use of the dynasty’s Dragon energy, which is too costly to be utilized on a large scale.”

The crowd initially excited about the Secret Technique, went cold upon hearing his words, and calmed down.

Considering the Emperor’s statement about the large consumption of Dragon energy, necessary just to anchor one Outer World, it seemed not very worthwhile.

Because the Dragon energy greatly influences a dynasty’s stability; if the Dragon energy is insufficient, the dynasty cannot be stable.

So despite acquiring a new world which could offer numerous Spiritual Objects and resources, the consumed Dragon energy was not easily replenishable.

“If there’s nothing else, let’s dismiss the court.”

Seeing no one speak, the Emperor rose and left directly.

The officials left, each with their own thoughts, many appearing contemplative, their minds pondering unknown subjects.

However, what the disciples of the Hundred Schools didn’t know was that Daqian dynasty and noble families had already gathered forces to explore the newly anchored Otherworld.

“This journey to the Otherworld is no longer a mere exploration, but a conquest of that world, so you forerunners must seek plenty of information and intelligence!”

“Yes!”

The Emperor himself did not appear, but arranged for the Crown Prince to handle the matter.

Looking at the thousands before him, the Crown Prince said warmly, “Everyone, please take care, I look forward to your safe return.”
