Cooperation, the Totem Hall Completed
Patriarch Xuanji and Ling Taixuan exchanged a glance, both seeing the determination in each other's eyes.
This deal is a sure thing!
Ling Taixuan immediately bowed, his tone respectful. "My Primordial Beginning Dao Sect is willing to cooperate with the Heavenly Hao Alliance! We will obey the command of the Great God Haoyang!"
"Very good." Heavenly Lord Haoyang nodded in satisfaction. "Those who understand the times are wise; you will not regret your decision today."
He paused, then continued, "Since we're cooperating, there are some things you should know. The High Antiquity gods currently existing are roughly divided into three factions."
"One faction is my own Heavenly Hao Alliance, where all the gods join forces to Tribulation Transcendence by borrowing the sect's fortune. It is also the faction with the largest number of members."
"The second faction is the Rogue Cultivator Faction. Those deities are arrogant and unwilling to rely on any sect or external force. They plan to hide in the secret realm and tough it out, which is simply courting death."
"The third faction consists of those who each found a host and attached themselves to other forces. For example, the Moon God Wangshu joined the Luozhen Sect."
"The Moon God Wangshu?" Ling Taixuan's eyes lit up.
They recognized the name! The High Antiquity Moon God, also a high-ranking deity, whose strength was no less than Haoyang's.
"Not bad." Heavenly Lord Haoyang's eyes turned cold. "Wangshu and I have always been at odds. She is also Higher God with a heavy divine status. Keeping her around will only consume more Tribulation Power."
"The power of the God-Slaying Tribulation is linked to the total number of existing gods. The fewer the gods, the weaker the Tribulation Power, and the greater our chances of survival."
He looked at Ling Taixuan, his tone suggestive. "Therefore, the first thing to do after cooperating is to eliminate dissidents. The first target is the Moon God Wangshu, and the Luozhen Sect she is affiliated with."
Ling Taixuan was overjoyed and almost burst out laughing.
It's like my wish came true!
They were just worried about how to deal with the Luozhen Sect, and now the Great God Haoyang is going to use the Luozhen Sect as a scapegoat.
By using the power of the gods to eliminate Li Yunjing, we can both avenge ourselves and reclaim the Immortal Vein and Luozhen Province —it's a win-win situation!
"Rest assured, Great God!" Ling Taixuan immediately declared, "Li Yunjing of the Luozhen Sect is arrogant and domineering, monopolizing Immortal Vein. He is already an enemy of the Dao Realm. Our Primordial Beginning Dao Sect is willing to be the vanguard, cooperating with the Heavenly Hao Alliance to crush the Luozhen Sect and capture the Moon God!"
Patriarch Xuanji sneered, "That brat Li Yunjing has been arrogant for a long time because of his Semi-Immortal Artifact. With the Great God Haoyang here, this time we'll make sure he dies without a burial place!"
Looking at the excited expressions of the crowd, Heavenly Lord Haoyang's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
A group of frogs at the bottom of a well are easy to manipulate.
"Very good." He said calmly, "Starting tomorrow, the gods of the Heavenly Hao Alliance will gradually move into Primordial Beginning Valley. You should first organize your troops and investigate the strengths and weaknesses of the Luozhen Sect. When the time is right, we will send troops to Luozhen Province."
"Yes, sir!"
Ling Taixuan and the others bowed in unison, their voices filled with barely suppressed excitement.
They seemed to already see the destruction of the Luozhen Sect and the dominance of the Primordial Beginning Dao Sect in the Dao Realm.
Three days later, on the Verdant Fertile Plain, north of the sacrificial plaza of the Biyuan Tribe.
The groundbreaking ceremony was held on time.
Zhi Qianshu brought his entire clan, young and old, to the scene.
The clan elders, dressed in their most solemn animal-skin robes, held the ancestral tablet and totem, their expressions solemn.
Li Yunjing also personally attended the event and stood at the very front of the line.
When the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers were set off in unison.
The craftsmen of the Artifact Hall broke ground, while the array masters simultaneously inscribed array patterns on the foundation.
Polished bluestones were transported over and used to build the foundation of the palace according to the blueprints.
The warriors of the Biyuan Tribe also stepped forward to help, carrying stones, digging soil, and moving timber, working enthusiastically.
Li Yunjing stood on the high platform. As the prototype of the Totem Hall appeared, the long-unseen light screen appeared in front of Li Yunjing.
[New building detected. Should it be added to the upgradeable building system?]
"Yes."
Buzz.
Beneath the foundation, a barely perceptible glimmer of light flashed.
The ordinary bluestone instantly gained a more ancient and dignified aura, and faint golden patterns spread out from the foundation of the palace.
Like other sect buildings, the Totem Hall can be upgraded directly once the foundation is laid and the materials are prepared.
With a thought, Li Yunjing began to examine the spiritual effects and upgrade requirements of the Totem Hall.
[Totem Hall (lv0)]
[Current effect: None]
[Level 1 Spiritual Effect: Gathers the clan's fortune, slightly improves the physical constitution of clan members, and protects them from injury and illness.]
[Upgrade Requirements: Requires 100 catties of low-grade spirit jade.]
The upgrade requirements aren't difficult.
Over the years, the Luozhen Sect has amassed a considerable fortune, possessing all the common materials such as spirit jade and beast crystals.
"Now that all the materials are ready, let's upgrade it all at once."
Li Yunjing silently recited the instructions and began the upgrade process.
Upgrading the Totem Hall from level 1 to level 2 is not difficult either.
Li Yunjing continued to upgrade. After checking the upgrade requirements, he decided to continue upgrading as long as they were met.
As the level increases, the Totem Hall under construction grows taller at a visible rate.
The stone wall, which was originally only half a person high, instantly reached the top of the palace.
The originally bare beams and pillars automatically revealed mysterious totem patterns.
The roof tiles were laid out on their own, presenting an ancient and deep blue color, and animal head totems slowly emerged at both ends of the roof ridge.
The craftsmen were stunned, their tools frozen in mid-air, forgetting what to do.
"This... this is a miracle!" Zhi Qianshu murmured to himself, his eyes filled with awe.
He only knew that Li Yunjing Divine Ability powerful, but he never imagined that even building a palace could be so miraculous.
To everyone's astonishment, the entire Totem Hall was built from scratch, from simple to magnificent, in the time it takes to burn half an incense stick.
When Li Yunjing reached level 8, the upgrade requirements could no longer be met, so he stopped.
At this time, the Totem Hall was nine zhang tall, and its entire structure was built of dark blue-black boulders, each stone smooth and warm, gleaming with a faint Golden Light.
Above the main gate hangs a huge stone plaque, which has no words on it, but is engraved with an ancient totem pattern.
Under the blazing sun, a man wielding a giant axe cleaved through the wasteland. His lines were rugged and his aura was imposing; it was the ancestral totem of the Biyuan clan.
On either side of the temple gate stands a totem pole, each ten feet tall, with lifelike carvings of hunting, warfare, and sacrificial rituals on its surface.
The entire hall has no ornate decorations, yet it possesses a profound and ancient majesty.
Buzz.
The palace doors slowly opened on their own.
A pale golden beam of light shot up from the hall and into the sky.
Within the pillar of light, the faint phantom of a towering giant could be seen, wielding a massive axe, standing tall and imposing.
That was the residual will of the Biyuan Ancestor, which was activated by the Totem Hall and manifested in the world.
The Biyuan tribesmen all knelt down with a thud, devoutly worshipping the giant's phantom.
"The First Ancestor has appeared!"
May the First Ancestor bless you!
"..."
The elderly people were in tears, their bodies trembling with emotion.
Their ancestor, whom they had worshipped for thousands of years, has actually appeared today!
The giant phantom slowly lowered its head, as if looking down upon its own people.
Then, it stretched out its large hand and sprinkled down specks of golden light.
Golden light fell, landing on every member of the Biyuan tribe.
Everyone felt a warm current spread throughout their bodies, their fatigue and pain disappeared, and their strength increased.
Several elderly people who had been bedridden for years actually stood up, their complexions becoming much rosier.
A moment later, the giant's phantom gradually faded and disappeared into the hall.
The beam of light receded, Totem Hall returned to its calm, as if nothing had happened.
But everyone knows that this palace is no ordinary place.
Li Yunjing stepped forward and probed the hall with his divine sense to examine the detailed effects of the Level 8 Totem Hall.
