I Can Strengthen Infinitely

"Divine Calculation Elder, could you elaborate a bit more on the matter."

"No rush, I invited you here today specifically to discuss this. You are the pinnacle of strength across the nine provinces of the world, and in this imminent disaster, your assistance is essential; otherwise, the fall of mankind would be but a blip."

Hong Meng pointed to the stone pillar standing on the plaza, saying, "I believe you all know that outside the nine provinces, there are other places where resources are evidently superior compared to ours, because our place is referred to as the East Wilderness Polar Region, but thousands of years ago, it was not like this."

"Hmm." Qin Yuesheng’s expression showed slight surprise.

"And why has it become like this?" someone asked.

Hong Meng slowly replied, "It’s because thousands of years ago, celestial and demonic beings from the Outer Realm descended upon the human world. These two are natural enemies and thus waged fierce wars across the land of the nine provinces, causing mountains to crumble and the land to fissure, depleting resources significantly. Even many strong individuals of that era could not escape unharmed, rendering the nine provinces desolate, and martial prowess declined."

"Celestial and demonic beings..." Everyone present was a Grandmaster, and they did not doubt the existence of celestial and demonic beings.

Those were undoubtedly legendary beings of immense power, making even Grandmasters seem as insignificant as ants before them.

"Thousands of years have passed, the world has changed, and last month I divined the celestial patterns, consuming years of my lifespan, and accidentally discovered that a disaster will befall the human world once more."

Immediately the entire place became somewhat chaotic, and a Grandmaster hurriedly asked, "Divine Calculation Elder, is there a way to avert this?"

"Averting it is impossible, but there is a plan."

"What plan?"

"Lanhai Dragon City."

"Hmm?"

"Hmm!"

Upon hearing this name, some Grandmasters looked bewildered, completely unaware of what it was.

Other Grandmasters’ expressions became strange, as if they harbored great apprehension about this place.

It was also the first time Qin Yuesheng heard of it and couldn’t help but be curious. He then turned to the old beggar and asked, "Senior, what is Lanhai Dragon City, do you know?"

But before the old beggar could speak, Xiahou Rui excitedly interjected, "I know, I know, Lanhai Dragon City is a forbidden secret realm overseas, rumored to hide a great secret within. However, it is extremely dangerous, and many Grandmasters who ventured there have lost their lives."

"Divine Calculation Elder, you are also aware of the situation over at Lanhai Dragon City, what is the connection between this plan and it?"

Hong Meng stroked his chin’s whiskers and said, "According to legend, Lanhai Dragon City houses the relics of a once-incredible cultivator who achieved the state of Five Qi Chaoyuan and Three Flowers at the Top, reaching the Holy Seal Realm. Whoever acquires it would only be a step away from immortality,

but Lanhai Dragon City is extremely dangerous, and even a Grandmaster cannot successfully enter. However, I recently observed the celestial phenomena and chanced upon great news, that is, seven days from now, when the tides of the East Sea recede, Lanhai Dragon City will enter its most vulnerable stage, presenting the best opportunity to venture inside, everyone..."

Divine Calculation Elder earnestly said, "My plan is to allow one of the Grandmasters present to become immortal."

"Hiss!"

All the Grandmasters present drew a sharp breath.

"Only by attaining immortality will one possess the strength to protect the human world. However, I believe none of you would easily give up this opportunity that you have long yearned for. I have gathered you all here in Celestial Secret City to inform you of this matter, and who will ultimately become the fortunate one relies entirely on your abilities. The path to immortality is narrow, depending wholly on fate."

Divine Calculation Elder’s words were simple and straightforward, and everyone understood clearly in their hearts.

"Seven days from now, when the sun sets, and the East Sea tides recede, it will be the best opportunity to enter Lanhai Dragon City, proceed with caution."

A Grandmaster suddenly asked strangely, "Why don’t you keep this great opportunity to yourself instead of sharing it? What’s in it for you?"

Divine Calculation Elder wore an expression of disdain, "Everyone’s fate is different; perhaps Lanhai Dragon City is not destined for Celestial Secret City. If I hoard it, and that glimmer of hope is lost, wouldn’t that be disastrous for mankind? You, my friend, are thinking rather narrowly."

"This old fellow talks freely, but in reality, Lanhai Dragon City is filled with dangers. Going with too few people means merely serving as cannon fodder. It’s only with more people that there might be a chance to obtain the relic within." The old beggar whispered to Qin Yuesheng.

Qin Yuesheng nodded quietly in agreement.

"Since that’s the case, if Divine Calculation Elder has no other important matters, I’ll take my leave first. See you at Lanhai Dragon City in seven days."

"Please!" Divine Calculation Elder nodded.

With the departure of the first person, the remaining Grandmasters also left one after the other, seemingly preparing for the events seven days later.

The opportunity to attain immortality is extremely rare. If one can acquire the relic of the Holy Seal Realm cultivator within Lanhai Dragon City, it would save at least a century of arduous cultivation.

"Everyone, if you’re not in a hurry to leave, why not have a meal here in Celestial Secret City? We recently acquired a batch of Snowfield Ice Simurgh from the north, its meat tender and exquisite, a top-tier ingredient in the world."

Some unhurried Grandmasters pondered for a moment, then agreed.

Upon hearing there was good food, Xiahou Rui eagerly agreed as well.

The old beggar said to Qin Yuesheng, "I have some matters to attend to, so I’ll leave first."

"Safe travels, Senior."

The old beggar picked up the little beggar, and the two quickly departed the place.

"Big brother, are you staying as well?" Xiahou Rui asked.

"Hmm, I haven’t been to Celestial Secret City before, so staying for a meal sounds good."
