197: Conquer the Weird Abyss
Chapter 197: Conquering the Mysterious Abyss
Xue Lingling was half-convinced, then tried to link the two Domain Scrolls.
Who would have thought that the two Domain Scrolls would easily establish a Domain connection and resonance with just a touch, as if they were made for each other.
"It actually works?" Xue Lingling was overjoyed. "As expected of master and disciple, now we don't have to split it into two separate outposts."
Given the current situation of the Underworld Club, it clearly couldn't maintain two outposts.
Now that the two Domain Scrolls had established resonance, they could be placed together, interconnected, growing and progressing together.
Afterward, the group followed Xue Lingling to personally tour and experience the scenery of Taozhi Mountain.
It was a perfect addition to the Netherworld background map.
The two major Domain Scrolls were now in place.
Next came the historic crucial step: conquering another world to establish a territory for the Domain Scrolls.
This was also an important step for the Club to advance from Silver Rank to Gold Rank.
At the same time, it was a significant milestone for the development of Yaoyang City.
Mayor Chen Shilong naturally gave his full support, and the Association also didn't hesitate, directly dispatching a large number of troops to support the establishment of Yaoyang City's first otherworldly outpost.
Even Chen Shilong and Cui Wenxuan personally came.
Not only these two, but Old Master Wang Fengnian was also pulled over by Wang Xiaocong, and he used his prestige in the military to mobilize the army from the Mysterious Abyss defense line to cooperate fully.
This day was destined to be recorded in Yaoyang City's "county annals."
Outside Yaoyang City's North Dimensional Port, crowds gathered.
Many Spirit Master citizens who had received the news arrived early, supporting the operation with their actions.
As the news spread, more and more citizens spontaneously came to offer support.
It could be said that the military, government, and people were united.
Vice President Huang, who was there to lend a hand, was also deeply moved by this scene.
After all, it was the city's first otherworldly outpost, carrying the hopes of everyone.
Outside the Mysterious Abyss control zone, at the Mysterious Abyss rift, a large army had gathered, with a throng of people, and the surrounding grotesque entities dared not approach.
"Are you sure you want to establish it in the Mysterious Abyss?" Cui Wenxuan and Chen Shilong couldn't help but confirm again. "The competition here in the Mysterious Abyss is quite fierce; almost all top Undead System Domains are located here."
Wu Xian and Xue Lingling exchanged glances and nodded firmly.
Are you kidding? They were targeting the elites.
How could the dignified Netherworld be afraid of competing with other Undead System Domains?
This would also make it easier to integrate other Undead System Domains later on.
"In that case, let's proceed."
Cui Wenxuan smiled slightly, and with his command, the main elite forces rushed into the Mysterious Abyss rift.
The civilian allied army and various large units remained outside the rift to guard it.
After all, the conquest of another world would inevitably trigger a strong counterattack and invasion from the otherworldly forces.
To put it plainly, it's easy to take a piece of land, but the difficulty lies in the series of troubles it causes and the subsequent defense.
"Actually, there's no need to be so nervous," Vice President Huang joked. "As far as I know, the location of your Yaoyang City's rift in the Mysterious Divine Realm is relatively remote, so the difficulty of conquest isn't very high.
When the time comes, Little Wu can unleash his Divine-Grade Undead, which will directly solve half of the trouble."
"It's a bit remote, but it's not necessarily simple," Cui Wenxuan said meaningfully.
"Oh?" Vice President Huang was puzzled. "Could there be other factors involved?"
Cui Wenxuan neither confirmed nor denied, merely glancing at Chen Shilong beside him.
Chen Shilong remained calm, seemingly a bit embarrassed, and said, "You might encounter some Evil God Scroll Masters."
Upon hearing this, Vice President Huang became serious. "I almost forgot about that. The pollution here in Yaoyang City is so severe, it's indeed easy to attract Evil God Scroll Masters.
However, with Old Cui here, he can keep those Evil God Scroll Masters in check."
As they spoke, the group had already entered the true Mysterious Abyss.
Looking around, it was a scene of a desolate underworld; the sky above was pitch black, and beneath their feet were scattered spirits and bones, with grotesque and eerie mountains stretching across the heavens and earth like the claws of devils.
In no time, eerie gusts of wind blew towards the crowd, and the wails of malevolent spirits were incessant.
Cui Wenxuan calmly released the nine-star Jade Scroll, dressed in white, holding a sword, with an ethereal presence.
As a powerful aura emanated, the surroundings instantly became much quieter.
Wu Xian also couldn't help but carefully observe this Jade Scroll painting spirit; if nothing unexpected happened, it should be similar to Xu Lu's [Evil-Suppressing Guardian].
Judging from the powerful aura and fluctuations, it was at least a Mahayana stage powerhouse on the verge of Ascension.
Vaguely, it gave Wu Xian a sense of déjà vu.
"Chairman Cui, what is the name of your Jade Scroll?" Wu Xian asked curiously.
Cui Wenxuan smiled slightly and said, "Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master - Lu Xiaoyao!"
Wu Xian remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he gasped.
Good heavens, this sense of déjà vu was getting stronger and stronger.
Recalling the scene not long ago where a single sword strike severed the Wang Family Scroll Master's fallen god, it was no wonder his strength was so formidable; it turned out he had a connection to that great individual's shadow.
Although still far from the true Ancestor Lu, the similarity and completeness were at least thirty to forty percent.
If he could find a way to "enlighten" him later, it would be Ancestor Lu reincarnated at the Jade Scroll level—just thinking about it was exciting.
"Tsk tsk, how could such a dashing figure not have wine?"
Wu Xian pondered the demeanor of this Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master, speaking from inspiration.
"Hmm?"
A hint of surprise flickered in Cui Wenxuan's eyes, and he fell into contemplation.
In contrast, the others clearly didn't take Wu Xian's words to heart, simply considering it a casual remark.
Only Cui Wenxuan knew what kind of inspiration that seemingly careless remark had brought him.
All this time, he had thought his conception of the Evil-Suppressing Immortal Master was complete, but Wu Xian's single sentence reignited his inspiration and ideas.
Just for that one sentence, his trip here was not in vain.
Perhaps this was the difference between a Genius and a Mortal?
It was like the mathematics community in the previous life; the lifelong research and efforts of contemporary mathematicians might only save a future mathematics Prodigy an afternoon of time one day.
Perhaps not even an afternoon, but just a few minutes.
In fact, for Wu Xian, transforming Cui Wenxuan's concept into the true Ancestor Lu would genuinely only take a few minutes.
This was the biggest difference between him and the native Scroll Masters.
"Hey~ I think this place is quite good," Vice President Huang surveyed the surrounding terrain and scenery. "The location isn't too deep, and the terrain is also very good, just right."
"It is indeed good," Chen Shilong murmured, nodding, but a hint of worry was evident in his eyes. "How about we look around more, choose a few more places?"
"That works too, after all, it's such an important matter," Vice President Huang agreed, nodding.
"This old man, however, thinks this place is excellent," Cui Wenxuan said playfully. "The little ones' Club is just starting, and this place is perfectly suitable."
Upon hearing this, Chen Shilong seemed somewhat helpless and stiff, saying nothing more.
Wu Xian and Xue Lingling observed briefly and also felt this place was good.
"My little disciple, little Lingling, what do you two think?" Cui Wenxuan asked with a smile.
"It's fine," they both nodded in unison.
Just then, a familiar young figure was seen approaching.
Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Bai Shiqi, the Dojo Prodigy.
"Brother Wu, Chairman Xue, what are you doing...?" Bai Shiqi looked at the impressive lineup before him, secretly astonished.
"We're preparing to establish an outpost," Wu Xian also said with a look of surprise. "Brother Bai, why are you here?"
"Outpost?" Bai Shiqi was stunned and shocked. "You, you, you... have you already created a Domain Scroll?"
