74: Chapter 75 You're not cultivating immortality, you're doing drugs! He was drinking cola while trying to fool the Blood Demon Ancestor!

"Ji Linglong!"

Before Wu Mingyue even arrived, her voice boomed out: "You useless thing! You couldn't even watch over one man (server)! If my Great Xia's national destiny (save file) is lost, I will hold you solely responsible!"

"Enough talk," Dugu Xue said coldly. "Where is the teleportation array? I'm going to chop that old ghost down."

"Waaah... my Brother Jiang Chen..." Su Daji sobbed while pulling out poison. "I'm going to poison the Netherworld Blood Sea! I'm going to poison that whole pool of bastards to death!"

Ji Linglong froze.

She looked at these three super female big shots who were even more anxious and furious than she was, and for a moment, she even forgot to cry.

"You guys..." Ji Linglong wiped away her tears, looking a bit dazed. "Are you here to help me?"

"Help you?" Wu Mingyue snorted coldly. "I am here to save my Regent Prince! It is for my storyline that hasn't been cleared yet!"

"I'm doing it for the wedding," Dugu Xue said concisely.

"I'm doing it for my VIP privileges!" Su Daji said righteously.

Good grief.

The reasons were more outrageous than the last, but their goal was surprisingly consistent.

The four people, who had originally been hostile toward each other, had at this moment, because of the same man, formed the most outrageous and powerful alliance in the history of the cultivation world—the [Large-Scale Game Rights Protection and Husband Rescue Alliance].

"Stop arguing!"

Just as the four female big shots were preparing to charge directly toward the Netherworld Blood Sea, a calm voice suddenly rang out from a corner of the ruins.

Academician Li Zhenbang pushed up his glasses, which were already half-broken, and walked out from a pile of rubble holding an instrument that looked like a tablet computer.

"Ladies, while I fully understand your anger over the internet outage, as a scientist, I must remind you—blindly charging in is a major military taboo."

"Who is speaking? A mortal?" Wu Mingyue frowned, about to lash out, but then she saw Li Zhenbang hold up the tablet in his hand. On the screen, a green dot was flashing rhythmically.

"What is this?" Su Daji leaned in.

"This is a 'Quantum Entanglement Biological Sign Monitor'." Academician Li pointed at the light spot, his tone as steady as if he were giving an academic report.

"This light spot represents Director Jiang. Just a moment ago, through satellite positioning (actually, it was the relay signal from the drone launched earlier), we captured his exact location inside the Netherworld Blood Sea."

"Is he still alive?" Ji Linglong asked anxiously, her hands trembling.

"Not only is he alive." Academician Li zoomed in on the screen and pointed to a set of data on the side.

"Heart rate: 75 beats/minute (normal)."

"Blood pressure: 110/75 (perfect)."

"Adrenaline level: low (emotionally stable)."

"And even..." Academician Li pointed to another curve that was slowly rising, his expression becoming somewhat strange. "His blood sugar index is rising. According to the waveform analysis, he is probably drinking some kind of high-sugar carbonated beverage?"

The whole place fell silent.

The four female big shots, who had originally been prepared to risk their lives, collect a corpse, or perform a blood sacrifice, now stared at each other, their expressions incredibly vivid.

Captured by that old monster Blood Demon Old Ancestor who eats people without spitting out the bones...

Not only was he not scared to death, not eaten.

He was even drinking cola?!

"This..." Sect Master True Person Xuanweizi swallowed hard. "The son-in-law is truly not a mortal. I admire this state of mind."

"Since he is fine, then it's easy to handle." Li Zhenbang put away the tablet, looked at the four top combatants before him who were capable of sweeping across the Nine Provinces, and revealed a meaningful smile.

"Everyone, this is not just a rescue operation."

"This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate the power of scientific cultivation to the entire cultivation world."

"I suggest we don't do any special operations. We should—" Academician Li pushed up his glasses, a cold glint flashing across the lenses. "All forces, attack! Push forward head-on!"

"Let that bumpkin Blood Demon Old Ancestor know what happens when you provoke someone you shouldn't, and cut off the internet you shouldn't have!"

"Good!" Wu Mingyue was the first to respond, waving her dragon robe. "Golden Dragon Guards, listen to my command! Target: Netherworld Blood Sea! Burn that pool of water dry for me!"

"Myriad Sword Tomb subordinates, raise the sword formation!" Dugu Xue drew her sword and pointed it at the sky.

"Sisters of the Joyful Union Sect, bring the poison, we're going to add some ingredients for the Old Ancestor!" Su Daji laughed through her tears.

Looking at these allies who were even more enthusiastic than she was, Ji Linglong took a deep breath.

She raised the taichu divine sword in her hand, her voice resounding through the clouds:

"Taichu Holy Land! The whole sect, attack!"

"Let's go! Let's go pick up my husband and bring him home! And by the way, scatter the ashes of the Blood Demon Old Ancestor!"

...

Mighty and grand.

On this day, the history of the Nine Provinces' cultivation world was rewritten.

The sky was obscured by four colors of spiritual light.

Golden dragon aura, white sword aura, pink mist, and the righteous aura of the Taichu Holy Land.

A massive army of millions of cultivators, driving war chariots, flying boats, and Flying Swords, swept toward the Netherworld Blood Sea in the extreme north like a swarm of locusts.

The scene was even more spectacular than the resistance against the demon race invasion back in the day.

And the slogans they displayed left the onlookers along the way dumbfounded:

[Hand over Jiang Chen! Resume updates!]

[Return our save files! Blood Demon, prepare to die!]

[Those who touch our server, even if far away, must be executed!]

No one expected it.

A great war that could have triggered a catastrophe in the cultivation world was actually caused by playing games.

...

And at this moment.

Deep within the Netherworld Blood Sea.

Jiang Chen, completely unaware that the outside world had turned upside down for his sake, was sitting on a relatively clean rock with his legs crossed.

He held half a bottle of cola in his hand, looking at the Blood Demon Old Ancestor opposite him who was holding a butcher's knife and staring at him with a confused look, and grinned.

"What? Old man, don't believe me?" Jiang Chen pointed to the churning, foul-smelling blood water in the blood pool.

"Do you feel like you've been stuck at a bottleneck for thousands of years, and no matter how much you absorb essence blood, you can't break through?"

"Is it that every full moon night, your dantian feels like it's burning with pain? And there's a feeling of blockage in your meridians?"

The knife in the Blood Demon Old Ancestor's hand paused.

Those green ghost-fire eyes widened suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost.

"You... how do you know?"

"Because this is science." Jiang Chen shook his head, looking at the pool of blood with an expression of disgust.

"You call this a blood sea? This is clearly just a pool of industrial wastewater filled with iron oxide, hydrogen sulfide, excessive heavy metals, and various unknown viruses!"

"Old man, this isn't cultivation."

"This is drug addiction!"
