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

Chapter 1418: Chapter 1033: Yan Xuan’s Speech Draft

The former Alliance Leader and Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Demon Realm Alliance were discussing defecting to the small courtyard, while Jiang Yuan just stood there completely baffled.

Lowering his head, he looked at the big turtle hugging his thigh, acting cute and wheedling for Flood Dragon Meat, question marks practically biubiu popping out over his head. Didn’t you ascend? How are you back again?

[Special Mission: Black Tortoise]

[Mission 19: Demon Beast Yan Xuan purifies Spiritual Power, sheds demonic nature, Ascension to Divine Beast completed. Reward: 1x Mystery Gift Pack of your choice has been delivered]

[Achievement: Assisted the first Four Symbols Divine Beast in successfully ascending. Reward: 1x Courtyard Upgrade Card]

As the prompts flashed across his vision, Jiang Yuan didn’t bother checking the rewards in his Storage Bag. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn’t seeing things, then asked, "Yan Xuan, didn’t you ascend already? Everyone watched you fly away through the cracked-open sky, so how did you run back here in the blink of an eye?"

"Master, I’m a Divine Beast at least! Something as simple as an avatar, you think I wouldn’t know how?"

Yan Xuan craned his neck and said matter-of-factly, "My true body isn’t slacking off. I’d just ascended to Divine Beast Black Tortoise and already started supporting the Wilderness World, so for now you don’t have to worry about it collapsing. But I couldn’t bear to leave Master, so I kept an avatar here to eat and drink well—what’s not to love?"

Jiang Yuan: ...

That works, he supposed. The brief bit of parting melancholy just now was, in the end, unnecessary.

Yan Xuan went on, "Besides, after the Four Symbols Divine Beasts fell all those years ago, I’m the first one to ascend. No matter how you look at it—emotionally, rationally, publicly, privately—I’ve got to say something to all living beings, to set right what’s been thrown into chaos, and let the grand workings of heaven and earth better align with the Heavenly Dao, growing more prosperous and natural. But I—I don’t know how! I’ll have to trouble Master to help me figure out what to say?"

"Huh? A Divine Beast ascending needs a speech written?" Jiang Yuan was even more confused, thinking, you’re the one who ascended, how am I supposed to know what to say?

Maybe...mobilize the Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts to migrate on their own, hurry up and clear out the Wilderness World and hand it over to the Human Race?

In the Extreme West and Extreme East Secret Realm, Shi Hu and Huo Jun were also affected by the Ascension scene; they stopped what they were doing and rushed back to the small courtyard to join the fun.

Hearing this, Shi Hu bared his teeth and said, "Senior Yan Xuan, this request is kind of forcing the issue. Master is a Human Race Cultivator, not a Demon Beast. He hasn’t ascended as a Divine Beast—how could he have that kind of experience?

We Demon Beasts all want to hear about the current state of the Cultivation Realm. It’s the End of Dharma Era, and cultivation is tough. We finally have a case like this, so don’t you dare slack off—properly teach us and pass on some of your experience."

Yan Xuan pouted, thinking, what experience could I possibly have? I just listened to Master, he told me to go east and I didn’t go west, and then I ascended, right?

Thinking of that, he stretched out his neck, leaned closer, and shot back, "You’ve followed Master for quite a while yourself. Got any cultivation experience you can share with the Demon Beasts?"

"Uh, I, well..." Shi Hu was instantly stuck, and muttered in a small voice, "The Four Symbols Divine Beasts seem kind of different from other Demon Beasts, right."

Taking advantage of the shift in topic, Jiang Yuan asked, "Since you’ve ascended, will the Wilderness World still sink and fuse with the Human World?"

"Of course it will." Yan Xuan spread his claws helplessly. "I’m just one Divine Beast; my strength has limits. Right now all I can guarantee is that the Wilderness World won’t suddenly snap and fall apart. As for other demands, you can’t set the bar too high. Once all Four Symbols Divine Beasts ascend, then it should probably maybe more or less stop sinking."

"If it doesn’t sink, won’t the Human World be cut off from Spiritual Energy again?" Huo Jun frowned, voicing his inner doubt. "Does that mean we have to migrate all Demon Cultivators and Demon Beasts away, then move all mortals of the Human World up to live on the Wilderness?"

Yun Ying picked up the thread, "That probably won’t work. The Wilderness World has already been ravaged by Demon Beasts to the point it’s seriously depleted. If we don’t give it time to recover and just bring all the mortals over, then to fill their stomachs they’ll have to crazily open up farmland, and the environment will never improve."

"Then we only bring over cultivators who have awakened." As soon as Yun Shu said it, she realized something was off, and added awkwardly, "But once Spiritual Energy is cut off, aside from this batch of cultivators, mortals won’t have the chance to awaken anymore."

Yan Xuan waved his claws and cut in, "You’re all thinking about what comes later—that’s still a ways off. I need to transmit a message to the entire Wilderness World; what exactly am I supposed to say?"

At that question, all the cultivators watching fell silent.

Thanks to Mr. Jiang, getting acquainted with the Divine Beast Black Tortoise was already a blessing from three lifetimes ago; what more could they possibly ask for? Besides, didn’t you see him brute-force his way through Tribulation Crossing, tanking the Thunder Tribulation head-on? That kind of thing can’t be imitated, and the experience can’t be borrowed.

In the end it was still Jiang Yuan who thought it over and suggested, "In this End of Dharma Era, it’s already hard enough to cultivate and ascend. Whether Demon Cultivators, Demon Beasts, or Human Race Cultivators, what they most want to understand is, under the current Laws by which the Heavenly Dao operates, how to cultivate into an Immortal.

Your cultivation and Ascension process is basically unrepeatable, so why not consider talking about knowledge in that area instead?"

"Mm, I’ll have to think this through properly." Having just ascended as a Divine Beast, Yan Xuan had received quite a lot of Heavenly Dao knowledge. If he integrated it according to Master’s suggestion and talked about it, that actually sounded pretty good.

The small courtyard had just successfully raised its first Divine Beast to ascension; they definitely had to hold a celebration banquet.

On top of that, the Nine Major Sects, Hao Daqiang, and other new members had joined but hadn’t been officially welcomed yet, so this time they could take care of everything at once. Jiang Yuan mulled it over and instructed Bai Yunqi to start preparing the celebration banquet, inviting everyone who ought to be invited to come and join the fun.

Ling Di used space teleportation, holding the Teleportation Array documents Du Li had left for constructing the Demon Realm Alliance’s arrays, checking and cross-verifying them one by one. Discovering that Senior Yan Xuan had successfully ascended, she was just about to hurry home when she sensed the sky undergoing changes once more.

At the same time, all living beings who had been immersed in watching the Divine Beast ascend also sensed it. In unison, they raised their heads to look at the sky.

Holy light, carrying an unquestionable aura, tore through the Wilderness night and cast down a gigantic shadow of a Divine Beast.
