Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!

Chapter 1294: Chapter 978: How Can Someone Be So Awesome? (Part 2)

Don’t worry about winning hearts, just let it be!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuan temporarily paused in absorbing lifespan, after all, these Evil Cultivators couldn’t escape their predicament and had no resort other than cursing.

He clicked to consume ten million Spirit Stones to repair expired Upgrade Cards. He opened the exclusive courtyard group and scripted a story, saying he had gained a mystical upgrade and could grant Yun Mo, Qing Niao, Hu Zhile, and others a great fortune;

Then he copied it into the guest group and edited the list based on existing Upgrade Cards, summarising the unfamiliar Ghost Cultivators with the word "etc."

During this midnight in the wilderness, the courtyard’s cultivators were busy training; The Ghost Cultivators from the Netherworld’s Lotus Peak were busy mining.

Jiang Yuan was also anxious to deal with the yelling of Evil Cultivators and couldn’t wait for feedback, directly remotely operating and using stored Upgrade Cards on each one.

Far in the Human World courtyard, Qing Niao had just ended a thrilling Thunder Tribulation.

"Crossing tribulation feels so great!" She grew a bit taller, her girlish figure becoming even more graceful, still barefoot, wielding a large axe, with excitement causing a slight blush, "Cloud Sparrow, am I amazing or what?"

Cloud Sparrow perched on the treetop, with fluttering wings called crisply: "Amazing, amazing! Sister Qing Niao is incredible! No wonder sir wants to give you a gift of fortune."

"What fortune blessing?" Having just finished crossing, Qing Niao hadn’t noticed the new messages on the Communication Stone.

As soon as she spoke, the wind suddenly rose at her feet!

Before she could react, she felt enveloped by a strange power descending from the sky, Qing Niao widened her eyes suddenly—could it be the Power of Celestial Dao Laws?!

Oh my Celestial Fire brother, how can someone be so amazing?!

With shock and immense joy, Qing Niao felt the energy in her body climbing quickly, with a soft "crack", as if some shackles had shattered.

Torrential Spiritual Power joyfully surged through her meridians, spreading unspeakable comfort throughout her body—she had just ascended to Golden Core Realm a moment before, but now she was breaking through to Nascent Soul Realm!

"Wow! Sister Qing Niao will be even more incredible now!" Having received the gift from the sir, Cloud Sparrow knew what the whirlwind from the sky implied and happily jumped and applauded with wings.

"Wuwuwu... Brother treats me too well!" Qing Niao, who had jumped two levels overnight and grown taller, was overwhelmed with excitement and teared up.

Although she couldn’t imagine how it was done, she thought about being able to upgrade an entire realm without enduring Thunder Tribulation, certainly even the Celestial Fire himself would have to pay a significant price.

Besides feeling immense gratitude, blowing up rainbow praises for her brother in the group, she felt she couldn’t do much else.

But in fact, Jiang Yuan reaped quite a lot besides the Spirit Stones spent repairing Upgrade Cards.

[Side Mission: Qing Niao]

[Mission 6: Help Qing Niao elevate to Nascent Soul Realm has been completed. Reward: Skill Upgrade Card +1 issued]

[Mission 7: Help Qing Niao reach Soul Emergence Realm. Reward: Building Upgrade Card +5]

[Qing Niao’s Favorability +1000]

[Qing Niao’s Favorability +1000]

......

The last bit of favorability completed, transforming into ten sparkling diamonds with virtual fireworks celebrating in sight.

The second Death Warrior!

"The favor of the courtyard members is almost maxed out, even Xie Chenyuan has nine diamonds, wow! If in the future, interaction lasts longer, Cloud Concealment Sect’s members would all become my Death Warriors..." Jiang Yuan remembered the hint from the Divine Beast Celestial Dog, and considering the city gates in Kunlun Divine Mountain, indeed needs to "recruit talents widely and gather capable people."

Meanwhile, over a hundred miles west from Carefree City along the riverbank. Hu Zhile and Yun Mo looked furious, staring at a group of four Demon Cultivators fiercely battling a large Demon Beast not far away.

Three days ago a rumor spread that a big creature was transported by the Teleportation Array near Carefree City, its hiding place unknown under some watery domain, with merchants offering high reward for its Demon Core.

Hu Zhile and Yun Mo, upon inquiry, found out it was an amphibious Demon Beast, allegedly with delicious sweet flesh and a fine delicacy. They decided to find, hunt the amphibious Demon Beast, sell its Demon Core for a good price, and bring the rest of its bone, meat back to the courtyard to add another dish to everyone’s table.

With exceptional sense of smell, Hu Zhile spent two nights and days and finally tracked its trail in a secluded river valley.

They designed a plan to lure it out, collaborating beautifully in the heated battle, when suddenly a group of four arrogant mercenaries came. Without speaking they went straight into action, forcing Hu Zhile and Yun Mo away from the prey, then claiming it for themselves.

"It’s all my low Realm’s fault, dragging the lady down." Yun Mo regretted tremendously at the moment, feeling terribly timid for failing to act despite sir’s given opportunity to strengthen.

If he dared to risk it all and die once, gaining Top Grade Dual Spirit Roots gifted by sir, he wouldn’t let anyone easily seize the prey.

With anger burning inside, Hu Zhile shook her head to comfort: "They broke the rule, Carefree City strictly prohibits forcibly seizing others’ prey. The fish demon we found, unless we were defeated, anyone else could only watch from the sidelines, not interfere.

Don’t worry, since tracking the prey I’ve recorded with the Memory Stone, initially to show everyone the novelty, now it serves as evidence. Once they finish fighting, we’ll take evidence back to Carefree City to find the Steward, make them spit out everything they swallowed!"

"Afraid of facing evasion." Yun Mo worriedly pointed at a Demon Cultivator in red, lowering his voice: "I’ve seen him before, said to be the Commerce Association Leader’s younger brother, as arrogant as they come. Last time he snatched someone’s prey, even with evidence he dragged the dispute on and it ended unresolved."

He paused for a moment, softly suggested: "Our small matter, unnecessary to use sir’s connections and alert the City Lord for justice. How about, we ask Senior Bai to assist with this matter?"

"If Senior Bai knew we were bullied, he’d surely rush over. Just..." Hu Zhile was reluctant, if Yun Mo’s combat power just slightly improved, they could compete again, and the outcome wouldn’t be certain.

She sighed lightly, "After Senior Bai succeeded with Walking Flood Dragon, his power increased greatly along with responsibilities, now in charge of matters at Lotus Peak, also busy constantly. To disturb him for a Demon Beast isn’t quite fitting."

The courtyard members received sir’s grace, anxious not to fall behind in cultivation, each busy with their own tasks.

Though bullied, ultimately it’s due to lack of skill and weak personal strength, even if help secures a win, frustration still lingers.

"Ah! If only I were slightly stronger..." Yun Mo lamented again, considering whether to rush forward desparately!

If truly perished, with sir’s backing could resurrect with better Spirit Root, avoiding such humiliation.

Gaining courage to suggest risking his life, suddenly wind stirred beneath him, a strange power wrapping from above. As if countless stars sparkling around, permeating within, his Spiritual Power wildly surged and soared!

Bone Refining Realm Second Layer!

As the strange sensation, seemingly lasting long or instantly ending, faded, Yun Mo looked incredulously at wings turning icy blue, his mind buzzing.

"What is... happening? Miss Hu, I suddenly ascended a Realm! Yet... it shouldn’t be..."

Stammering, Yun Mo gazed bewilderedly at Hu Zhile—the whirlwind around her had just dissipated, her aura had ascended from Bone Refining Realm Peak straight to Demon Pill Realm Peak!

After more training, crossing Thunder Tribulation, she’ll be a Transformation Realm Great Demon!

"It’s sir!" Hu Zhile reacted swiftly, reminding: "Wasn’t it like this last time? We’ve experienced this, consider it."

Indeed, upon opening the courtyard liaison group, they saw Qing Niao and others blowing rainbow praises.

"Sir treats us so well, greatly indebted with no way to repay even with shattered bones!" Yun Mo’s eyes immediately welled up.

While Hu Zhile, filled with fighting spirit, feeling grateful to sir, declared: "Let’s first reclaim our prey then discuss, sell the Demon Core for a good price, we can at least contribute something for sir."

Great, earlier two versus four was merely slightly disadvantageous; now both ascended an entire Realm, if those robber bastards aren’t beaten to teeth-shattering defeat, it wouldn’t do justice to sir’s bestowed fortune!
