365: Chapter 365 allows you to travel to the mortal realm to collect...

Gou Feng and the others kept their heads bowed, trembling even more violently; not a single person dared to speak.

They knew clearly in their hearts that the core problem now was the military pay for the front lines.

Hundreds of millions of Spirit Stones—an absurdly large amount. Even if they exhausted all their own resources, they could not gather it.

Gou Feng was filled with terror, his mind constantly replaying the incident where the Spirit Stones were intercepted. If that one hundred million had not been lost, perhaps the situation would not have become so dire. But it was too late; he dared not offer a single word of defense, only bowing his head tightly, letting fear consume him.

Shen Guhong watched the fearful, silent crowd below, his inner anger burning like a wildfire.

He suddenly looked up, a flash of violence in his eyes; he was clearly at his limit and about to explode.

Just at this moment, Shen Bing walked out from the side: "Father, I have brought news from the Empress that can solve our current predicament!"

Hearing the words "Empress," a glimmer of joy flashed in Shen Guhong's eyes, and he hurriedly asked: "Oh, what solution does the Empress have?"

Many Yao Race experts also revealed expressions of joy.

After all, the Empress's cultivation and insight were extremely formidable.

Whatever method the Empress proposed would surely be able to solve the Yao Race's predicament.

Shen Bing looked up slightly and said: "Father, the Empress has already used a secret technique to make the Demon Clan Ruins appear permanently, and she has abolished all entry thresholds, allowing any Cultivator to enter and explore freely."

"What?!" As soon as Shen Bing finished speaking, a low murmur of astonishment echoed in the Main Sect Hall, and even Shen Guhong was slightly stunned, a flash of surprise in his eyes.

Although he had heard that the Demon Clan Ruins had appeared, he had never thought it was related to the Empress, much less that she would use a secret technique to make the ruins permanently appear without entry thresholds.

Far away in the small courtyard, Qin Changsheng was also somewhat astonished.

He had heard Jiang Hui mention the appearance of the Demon Clan Ruins at Qingyun Tower and had always assumed that it was because the ruins had reached their time limit or appeared automatically due to some natural change. He never imagined that the Empress had used a secret technique behind it!

This news completely exceeded his expectations and made him secretly vigilant. What exactly was the Empress's intention in doing this?

Shen Bing did not pause, and facing the astonished gazes of the crowd, continued: "Furthermore, the Empress also told me that Granny Qing possesses a peerless treasure, and that treasure has a Heaven-Defying effect that can triple the output of the Spirit Stone Mine!"

"Triple the output of the Spirit Stone Mine?!"

"If that is placed in our largest Spirit Stone Mine, our Yao Race will not lack Spirit Stones!"

This time, the astonishment of the crowd was even greater; their previously tense expressions instantly relaxed, and their eyes gradually lit up.

As Shen Bing's voice fell, the oppressive atmosphere in the Main Sect Hall instantly dissipated, replaced by intense surprise and excitement.

Shen Guhong's face also showed a trace of joy: "Is this true? Does Granny Qing really have such a treasure?"

"Every word I speak is true; this is what the Empress said," Shen Bing said, bowing.

"The Empress's words are naturally true!"

"Back then, our Yao Race also had many Spirit Stones!"

"Yes, over ten thousand years ago, our Yao Race never lacked Spirit Stones!"

"As long as we obtain this treasure, we won't have to worry about military pay!"

Many Yao Race experts were very excited.

If they could obtain such a powerful item, their problem of Spirit Stone shortages would be easily resolved.

Just as the hall was filled with joy and everyone was immersed in hope, Gou Feng suddenly stood out and said: "Leader, I have something to say, I don't know if I should say it!"

Shen Guhong frowned slightly, and after a while, said: "Speak your mind, no need to stammer!"

Gou Feng took a deep breath and said: "Leader, everyone, even if we can find the Sealing Tower, we might not be able to reach the fifth level!"

"The Pressure inside the Sealing Tower is extremely strong, far beyond our capacity to bear. We simply cannot go in!"

As soon as Gou Feng's voice fell, the heated atmosphere in the hall instantly solidified. The joy on everyone's faces faded as if extinguished by cold water, their expressions changing slightly, their eyes filled with astonishment and gravity.

They were very familiar with the Sealing Tower.

Magic power cannot be used inside it.

And the Pressure is also extremely strong.

Even Golden Core Cultivators like them would find it very difficult to reach the fifth level of the Sealing Tower.

If they couldn't enter the fifth level, they would never be able to see Granny Qing.

For a moment, the atmosphere in the hall became oppressive again, and the hope that had just ignited seemed to be doused with a basin of cold water.

Shen Guhong's face also sank, his brows locked tightly, and a flash of irritation and unwillingness flickered in his eyes.

"Father, I have a plan to break the Seal of the Sealing Tower!" Shen Bing said.

Shen Guhong also immediately said: "Daughter, what method do you have? Tell me quickly!"

Shen Bing nodded slightly and said: "This Sealing Tower has a fatal weakness—it is terrified of blood. We can collect enough blood and splash it onto the body of the Sealing Tower!"

"Daughter believes that as long as there is enough blood, we can counteract the Pressure inside the tower, make the Sealing Tower unseal, and at that time, we will be able to successfully enter the tower, see Granny Qing, and get the treasure!"

"Impossible!"

"But unsealing the Sealing Tower requires a vast amount of blood!"

"Where are we going to collect so much blood?"

Shen Hu and Gou Feng looked at Shen Bing with some confusion.

Shen Bing smiled and slowly spat out two words: "The Mortal realm."

"The Mortal realm?" These two words were light, but they instantly made the discussion in the hall cease. The surprise on everyone's faces stalled, their eyes filled with confusion, and they looked at Shen Bing in disbelief.

Far away in the small courtyard, Qin Changsheng also watched Shen Bing with some astonishment.

He also did not expect that Shen Bing would target the people of the Mortal realm.

Mortals have weak Physical Bodies, and the spiritual energy contained in their blood is negligible. He really could not understand how such blood could unseal the powerful Pressure of the Sealing Tower.

Facing everyone's confusion, Shen Bing continued: "Leader, everyone, you don't know this, but what the Sealing Tower fears is blood, yet it does not limit it to the blood of Cultivators!"

"Although Mortals have no cultivation, they are numerous. Their blood gathered together can also produce powerful strength, enough to counteract the Pressure of the Sealing Tower."

"And there are many Mortals; even if tens of millions or hundreds of millions die, it won't attract any attention!"

"We just need to incite a war in the Mortal realm, let the humans there kill each other; then, countless Mortals will die, and their blood can be collected endlessly."

As the voice fell, the hall instantly fell into silence. The confusion on everyone's faces gradually faded, replaced by some joy and fanaticism.

Inciting a war in the Mortal realm to let countless Mortals perish—such means were too ruthless, but once they thought of the treasure in the Sealing Tower and the ability to completely solve the predicament of the Spirit Stone shortage, the hesitation in everyone's eyes was gradually replaced by greed and determination.

Shen Bing seemed to have anticipated everyone's reaction and continued: "If the war in the Mortal realm is not intense enough, and the number of dead Mortals is not enough to collect the required blood, we can also lead some Yao Beasts and oddities to the Mortal realm."

"Those Yao Beasts and oddities are cruel and bloodthirsty; once they enter the Mortal realm, they will surely slaughter Mortals on a large scale. Then, with both methods, I believe it won't take many years to collect enough blood to unseal the Sealing Tower!"

"Good, this plan is excellent!"

"Mortal blood may not have much spiritual energy, but the quantity is very large!"

"And slaughtering Mortals won't cause any commotion!"

"Shen Bing's plan is very good!"

"For the sake of our Yao Race's great cause, the deaths of a few Mortals mean nothing at all!"

Gou Feng, Shen Hu, and others all agreed with Shen Bing's plan.

They all believed that this plan was feasible.

As long as there was enough Mortal blood, they could also break the Seal of the Sealing Tower.

In their eyes, the lives of Mortals were insignificant. As long as they could seize the treasure and solve the problem of the Spirit Stone shortage, they would not hesitate even if they slaughtered tens of millions of Mortals.

Shen Guhong slammed the armrest of his chair, his eyes full of determination, and said in a deep voice: "Good! Proceed as Shen Bing said! Immediately pass the order, send men to the Mortal realm, incite wars between nations, and lead a batch of cruel Yao Beasts and oddities to the Mortal realm to slaughter and collect Mortal blood!"

"Within three years, we must collect enough blood to unseal the Sealing Tower!"

"Understood!" The Yao Race experts replied in unison, their tones full of excitement and urgency.

Far away in the small courtyard, Qin Changsheng was also a bit stunned at this moment.

He also did not expect that the Yao Race would be so ruthless in order to break the Seal of the Sealing Tower.

They were actually going to slaughter tens of millions of Mortals.

Qin Changsheng pondered for a long time in the small courtyard, but had no good countermeasures.

Qin Changsheng stood up, deciding to go to the Main Sect Hall.

To tell the Sect Head about this matter and let the Sect Head decide.
