Chapter 860: Chapter 817: You Need a New Beginning For a long time, the great hall remained terrifyingly silent.
No one dared to breathe loudly, fearing that Dongjin might explode and vent his anger on them.
Suddenly, Dongjin shouted twice.
"Investigate!"
"Investigate thoroughly!"
Everyone responded quickly, each of them looking extremely displeased.
How dare they bully the Red Leaf Sect?
Do they want to become the second Lingxiao Sword Sect?
Following that, Dongjin’s cold eyes fell into the crowd, scanning each person until they fixed on Chen Lie, Tian Hui, and Qing Huang. These three were the custodians of the Celestial Rank Fate and could not shirk responsibility for this matter!
Tian Hui naturally realized this, so when Dongjin’s cold gaze landed on them, he stepped forward.
Tian Hui took a step forward, bowing apologetically: "I should be punished, I only hope Vice Sect Leader Dong will not blame Elder Chen Lie and Elder Qing Huang."
Dongjin said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"
Tian Hui bowed his head quickly, "I would not dare!"
Dongjin snorted coldly and continued, "The fault of losing the Vortex Map lies with all three of you. I don’t want to say more. From today on... the three of you will guard the Boundless for a hundred years, during which time you’re not allowed to take even a half-step outside!"
"We accept the punishment."
The three accepted the result with dim eyes.
Guarding it is, then.
A hundred years is not unbearably long.
Earth Unrestricted Experts live for a millennium; a hundred years, though long, is bearable.
After announcing their punishment, Dongjin addressed everyone once again, "This matter must be investigated clearly before the Sect Leader returns. If you fail to do so, none of you will have an easy time. Once it’s investigated, report immediately!"
"Understood."
"Understood!"
The crowd responded in unison.
...
Boundless.
Aboard the Flying Ship, Wenping quickly operated the Changmo Technique, generating a large vortex that greedily consumed the rich Wood Qi within the Boundless.
Vast amounts of Wood Qi flooded towards Wenping from all directions.
With thousands of years of foundation, how could Wenping waste it?
Since many Celestial Materials couldn’t be taken away, it was better to absorb a portion of it.
Wood attribute Celestial Materials couldn’t be spared at all.
After a long time, when the Wood Qi in this area gradually thinned, Wenping stopped operating the Changmo Technique and piloted the Flying Ship to another location.
"After thousands of years of foundation, the Wood Qi contained in these Celestial Materials is far richer than that of the current Immortal Sect."
Wenping couldn’t help but sigh.
These few days of cultivation surpassed months within the Immortal Sect.
Bear in mind, the Immortal Sect now has over a thousand Jianmu and hundreds of immortal trees.
Yet the concentration of Wood Qi still can’t compare to the Boundless.
Cultivating in Boundless for a few more days could lead to achieving Perfection in the Upper Realm; a few Mirror-Breaking Pills would suffice to break into Earth Unrestricted.
"If only there were several more places like Boundless." Wenping chuckled, but he knew this was impossible.
Finding one was already a stroke of great luck.
Just as Wenping shifted to another area to continue absorbing Wood Qi from the Celestial Materials, a resounding dragon roar echoed through the sky.
A voice directly penetrated his mind.
The Wood Dragon had made up his mind!
"Human, you say this is not your first encounter with demons of the previous era?"
Wenping responded, "I have two Palace Guards."
"Palace Guards... demons with good bloodlines. How did you assist them?"
The Wood Dragon had thought it through over the past few days.
He was a True Dragon.
How could he become mere fish meat?
Wenping answered directly, "I fed them some things, and their powers are now close to the Middle Realm of Earth Unrestricted."
"Just feeding them food? I have devoured all things of this era, and nothing helped me."
