Chapter 1730 - 1729: Earth Immortal Power!
"So what exactly makes it so difficult?"
Qin Feng hurriedly asked.
Since they already had a concrete method, the next step was to figure out how to solve the problem.
If there’s a problem, then we solve the problem!
Old Lady Liang sighed and said, "Do you know why I chose five people from the Five Great Holy Lands? These five people don’t just need strength, what matters even more is their ability to rule."
"No idea."
Qin Feng shook his head.
"Because to activate this Great Formation, we need a huge number of people, and the five people must have absolute authority. Only with perfect cooperation can it be completed. That’s why I had you at Qinling, Changbai Mountain, Tianshan, Shu Mountain, and Kunlun Mountain, the Five Great Holy Lands, compete against each other so that the losers would willingly admit defeat."
"Only that way can I choose the people I need."
Old Lady Liang said.
"A huge number of people and absolute obedience—those two I can handle. What about the rest?"
Qin Feng said.
Old Lady Liang shook her head and said, "No, I don’t want only you to manage it. I want all five who inherit the Five Elements Immortal Power to manage it."
"Uh, I think that’s doable."
Qin Feng said.
"I don’t want you to ’think’, I need absolute—"
Old Lady Liang started again.
This time, before she could finish, Mei Niang on the side couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Old Lady Liang, let me put it this way! The one at Changbai Mountain who inherited the Golden Immortal Power, Ning Tingxue, is his little lover. The one at Kunlun Mountain who inherited the Fire Immortal Power, Phoenix, is his childhood-sweetheart little lover. The Heavenly Mountain Apricot Blossom Gully hasn’t picked someone yet, but the Holy Daughter of Xinghua Gully is his first love. As for me, I’m his Mother-in-law. Does that make it clear for you?"
"Uh, uh..."
Old Lady Liang was completely at a loss.
Little lover?
Childhood-sweetheart little lover?
First love?
Mother-in-law?
Her head got more and more tangled.
So the people she selected were either Qin Feng’s lovers or his mother-in-law??
"..."
Old Lady Liang was stunned speechless for a moment.
No wonder he said there’d be no problem with obedience...
"Then the next problem is also the most difficult one."
At this moment Old Lady Liang once again showed a face full of sorrow and said, "My original plan was to start gathering you five two months before the catastrophe, set up the Array, and finish just in time when the catastrophe arrived. But I was imprisoned by that Changming from the Upper Realm for far, far too long. From what you’ve said, there’s only one month left before the catastrophe descends."
"One month—it’s simply impossible to finish..."
"..."
Hearing this, Qin Feng and Mei Niang both raised their brows and fell into thought.
From the way Old Lady Liang put it, the scale of the Array sounded huge; now they only had half the originally planned time left, which was indeed a huge problem.
"What if we have enough manpower and enough Spirit Stones?"
Qin Feng asked.
"If we have more people and more Spirit Stones, of course the speed can be increased, but..." Old Lady Liang glanced at Qin Feng, then sighed disappointedly again and said, "But even if you gather all the Hidden World forces in Hua Country, it would still be far from enough..."
"Then... what if we gather the Hidden World forces of the whole world?"
Qin Feng said.
"That would naturally be good, but..."
Old Lady Liang gave a bitter smile and said, "That would still require time for you to Conquer the world. And the reason I chose the Hidden World of Hua Country to pass down the Five Elements Immortal Power when I came to the Lower Realm is because I understand the global situation—everyone is fighting over the Xumi Land to hide from the catastrophe, no one will get involved."
"..."
Qin Feng couldn’t help but give a wry smile.
He hadn’t expected her intel to be this outdated, completely unaware of the current state of the world.
"Don’t worry. Leave manpower and Spirit Stones to me. The most crucial thing now is choosing the last Immortal Power Inheritor, then starting the preparations to set up the Array."
Qin Feng said.
On the other side.
In the distance, the group from Xinghua Gully and the group from Li Family Vineyard saw the thick smoke above the Moonless Sword Sect, blotting out the sky and sun, as if that place was hell itself.
"Crap, it looks like there was just a fierce battle over there—we’re late!"
Xiao You from Xinghua Gully frowned tightly and said.
Old Ni’s expression was also grave at this time. She shouted to everyone, "Speed up!!"
Everyone rushed forward.
They finally arrived at the Moonless Sword Sect’s territory.
Seeing the devastation all around, confirming that a fierce battle had just taken place here, their hearts all clenched tight.
However.
When everyone saw Qin Feng, Mei Niang, and Old Lady Liang, their eyes lit up and they all let out a long sigh of relief.
"Xiao Feng, it’s really great that you’re okay, haha!" Li Jiuye went over, grabbed Qin Feng’s shoulders, and shook them hard, excitedly saying, "I thought this Father-in-law of yours was never gonna see you again. The fact that you’re still alive is just awesome! Later you and I are gonna have a good drink to celebrate. Our Li Family’s wine is famous, you know."
Just as he finished, his chubby wife viciously grabbed his ear and started scolding him, "You looking to get beaten again? Using this as an excuse to drink? Forgot about kneeling on the keyboard already?"
"No, n-no no no..."
Li Jiuye yelped in pain and begged for mercy.
Old Ni glanced Qin Feng up and down, and seeing that he wasn’t injured, she breathed a sigh of relief. Then she turned and bowed to Old Lady Liang, saying, "Many thanks to Old Lady Liang for saving him."
"Thank you, Old Lady Liang!"
The people from Xinghua Gully all bowed along with Old Ni.
Li Jiuye, his chubby wife, and the others saw this and also bowed in unison, saying, "Thank you, Old Lady Liang!!"
"Uh..."
Old Lady Liang looked a bit embarrassed and said, "Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t save him—he saved me."
"Ah??"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Old Lady Liang was someone from the Upper Realm; logically speaking, shouldn’t she be the one who saved Qin Feng and the others?
How come...
Perplexed, Mei Niang stepped forward, smiling as she explained, "Back at the Mystic Void Paradise, we didn’t have time to explain, so you still don’t know, right? Xiao Feng is now one of the world’s top experts..."
Then.
She told them what she knew about Qin Feng’s exploits.
For example, Qin Feng Conquered Kunlun Mist Cloud.
For example, Qin Feng Conquered the world.
For example, Qin Feng possesses power that can insta-kill an ordinary Immortal Realm expert...
By the time she finished.
Everyone was already so shocked that they couldn’t say a word...
...
Next.
Qin Feng didn’t have time to chat about anything else. Time was tight, and no one knew how much longer the Holy Daughter at Vine Dragon Mountain could hold out.
He immediately returned to Lake City to make arrangements before setting up the Array.
First.
He needed to gather the five people who possessed the Five Elements Immortal Power.
Wood Immortal Power: Qin Feng.
Fire Immortal Power: Phoenix.
Water Immortal Power: Mei Niang.
Golden Immortal Power: Ning Tingxue.
As for the last "Earth Immortal Power," the one who originally had the final qualification was Old Ni from Xinghua Gully.
However.
On the one hand, Old Ni saw that all those inheriting Immortal Power were clever young girls who, aside from Mei Niang, all had some sort of ambiguous relationship with Qin Feng.
And Mei Niang was younger and prettier than her, which made her even more embarrassed to become one of them.
So she pushed Liu Li forward to inherit the "Wood Immortal Power"!
