Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear-Chapter 502 - 475: The Spoils Distribution Conference
Give up?
So the Frost Monarch truly doesn’t want to marry Qingxue to him, which makes sense now, she’s here to assert dominance directly.
Wang Wu suddenly realized and immediately said:
"I will follow your orders without question, if you tell me to go east, I’ll never go west; if you tell me to chase a dog, I’ll never chase a chicken!"
At this moment, he seemed ready to wear his loyalty to the Frost Domain on his face.
But—he didn’t know what he said wrong, or what the right thing to say was.
Anyway, the Frost Monarch fell silent once more.
After a long time, she seemed to sigh softly, "Qingxue is currently in seclusion, so she can’t meet you now, but what she promised, she won’t go back on."
"Additionally, from now on, you are the Lord of the Frost Realm."
So domineering, is there even a way out for him? Isn’t he better off free and at ease? Being the Lord of the Frost Realm is that easy?
Wang Wu could only muster up his courage and loudly say: "I beg you to rescind your order, I am willing to start as a small soldier in the Frost Domain, I will prove that I am worthy of Miss Qingxue!"
But this sentence made the Frost Monarch silent again.
Wang Wu gritted his teeth, raised his head abruptly, and stared at the Frost Monarch, as if gazing into the abyss.
Yet, in just one second, he was already drenched in cold sweat; the Frost Monarch should have restrained ninety percent of her aura, but it was still beyond his ability to withstand.
He could still hold on, purely because of that deep-seated pride urging him to desperately maintain his last shred of dignity.
Suddenly, all the pressure vanished, like the tranquility after a violent storm, transforming into an evening of utmost peace and beauty.
The Frost Monarch wore a red robe, like the evening glow, brilliantly bright and extraordinarily beautiful, beyond description!
The eyes that looked over at him were like a clear corner of the sky, transparent and without ripples, seemingly capable of reflecting everything in the world.
Wang Wu was stunned!
But by the time he reacted, the evening glow had dissipated, the splendor was no more, and the Frost Monarch had already left.
Only a single sentence lingered like an echo.
"What if this is the opportunity Qingxue fought for you?"
Qingxue? She fought for it?
You silly girl, how could you threaten your master with something like this?
But it’s undeniable, little Miss Qingxue is really good to him.
But—
Wang Wu stood there, feeling lost and forlorn.
He didn’t know what this feeling was, if he had to describe it, it’s like seeing towering mountains and a brilliant galaxy, finally understanding how insignificant he truly was.
"She is so strong."
This was an exclamation from the Four Clowns, not a critique.
Wang Wu said nothing, his Vermilion Bird Array Soul had flown back, and the Frost Monarch seemed to have left some kind of mark on it, making it legitimate, just based on this, saying he’s not the Lord of the Frost Domain, no one would believe it.
"May I ask, are you the newly appointed Lord of the Frost Realm, Elder Wang Wu?"
In the distance, two figures were cautiously flying over, bearing the marks of the Black Domain, indicating they were guards of the Sin Prison, one of whom was of no low level, at least matching Song Guangming’s level.
Goodness, truly leaving him no chance to refuse.
Putting away the Vermilion Bird Array Soul, Wang Wu inclined his head, "Do you have any matters?"
"Reporting to Elder Wang, we have come to disturb you because the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower is about to be reinstated, and there will be earth-shaking changes. With your esteemed status, we wouldn’t want to disturb you."
The chief smiled ingratiatingly.
"Wasn’t it Zhenyuan Tower, how has it become the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower?" Wang Wu asked curiously.
"Elder Wang is not aware, it’s all due to the Dubhe Immortal Alliance interrupting our process of refining the Zhenyuan Tower, causing our Hidden Origin Association great losses. Now it’s impossible to refine the Zhenyuan Tower anew in the short term, perhaps it will take tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years, and before then, this place is naturally still most suitable for imprisoning criminals. So this site remains the number one prison."
"Are there that many prisoners to confine? Isn’t our Hidden Origin Association adhering to neutrality?" Wang Wu asked again.
The chief paused, but still explained with a bright smile: "Reporting to Elder Wang, our Hidden Origin Association does indeed adhere to neutrality, but the principle of neutrality is that our interests are not infringed. For instance, this time the Dubhe Immortal Alliance attacked us proactively, and although both sides took a step back under the mediation of the Daluo Golden Immortal, those affiliated other Immortal Alliances must still be held accountable, or else won’t anyone treat our Hidden Origin Association like a soft target in the future?"
"So that’s why, thank you for clarifying."
"It’s my duty, it’s my duty."
"Good, I have one more question, who was the Daluo Golden Immortal mediating this incident?"
"Oh, Elder Wang jests, how could such matters be known to a small person like me?"
"Oh, then what are the specifics of the battle losses? I’ve been in seclusion for the past ten years and don’t know, could you tell me simply?" Wang Wu asked again.
"Reporting to Elder Wang, what the battle losses are, is actually not for someone of my status to know, nor do I have the privilege to speak out of turn, it’s getting late, please don’t make it difficult for a small person like me."
"Alright."
Wang Wu nodded, a thought flashed in his mind, and he had already teleported out of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.
And almost simultaneously with his teleportation, all the remaining damaged array stones in his Qiankun Bag vanished like a wisp of green smoke, not a trace could be taken out.
Except for the two sets of array stones that had been repaired.
With this move, he lost at least a hundred billion points of Spiritual Qi.
When he appeared outside the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, he saw the surroundings had already changed; it used to be a simple valley, surrounded by towering mountains, but now it seemed to sit beneath the earth’s abyss, surrounded entirely by lava, covering an area of hundreds of thousands of miles.
Only the platform where the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower was located remained, with a diameter of several miles.
No doubt, this was the terrifying aftermath of the previous battle between the Hidden Origin Association and the Dubhe Immortal Alliance.
Just as Wang Wu was contemplating which direction to leave, a floating cloud suddenly appeared beneath his feet, carrying him swiftly upward.
There’s such a privilege?
He looked up, but all he saw was a vast sea of clouds, as if there were immortal arrays crisscrossing, and nothing else could be seen.
When he lowered his head to look again, the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, which originally appeared to be only thirty meters tall and covered in moss, surprisingly grew proportionately as he soared upward.
He flew up a thousand miles, and the tower rose a thousand miles high.
He flew up ten thousand miles, and the tower reached ten thousand miles high.
As he passed through one immortal array, the tower had already reached a height of one hundred thousand miles, towering and magnificent, its grandeur overshadowing the massive lava field below, which previously seemed to span hundreds of thousands of miles, now appearing like a small pond.
Indeed, the entire world below had become insignificant.
How to describe it? It was like a mortal standing before a globe, casually spinning it, and the Earth would rotate several times.
The actual space and distance were directly discounted.
Now Wang Wu felt that this Cultivation Realm was somewhat like a globe in his hand.
Yet, this was distinctly different from the relationship between the world inside and outside the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower—it was hard to describe, just felt incredibly magical.
At this moment, he even saw the ruins of Dragon Head City and Dragon Tail City.
Then he saw many more cities, high mountains, great rivers, and seas, theoretically all distributed on the same dimensional plane, at least reachable by using Escape Divine Techniques.
But at this moment, from this perspective, one could see these cities, mountains, rivers, seas, and forests twisted, overlapping, and hidden.
Wang Wu saw a majestic mountain, and he could instantly identify its aura as the home of the Mang Mountain Ancient Bear.
Here it seemed small, yet also large.
The smallness was an illusion, the largeness was real.
Because it was composed of tens of thousands of massive mountains as well as the plains, canyons, forests, and rivers between them, with an actual area of millions of miles in circumference.
But in reality, it was folded, reachable from the lowest world but eternally unseen within the folds, somewhat like a 2.5D.
So this is a domain!
Partly in reality, partly folded outside.
Wang Wu suddenly understood.
At this moment, as he continued to ascend, having passed through three immortal arrays in succession, he almost thought he had ascended.
But in fact, he had not.
The Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower was still rising proportionately with him.
He didn’t even know exactly how high it was.
However, he finally saw another Zhenyuan Tower of the Hidden Origin Association, which was more dazzling, its divine light brilliant and its power unfathomable than the current Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.
But it was even higher than the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, so high that its end couldn’t be seen.
But at this moment, the white cloud beneath his feet suddenly halted, and the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower also stopped at this moment. The surrounding scene changed, but then seemed ordinary, without any golden brilliance, without any majesty like a prison.
A group of people sat around, some drinking tea, some chatting, others in a daze as if lost in their thoughts.
If not for seeing the Frost Monarch and Elder Hui among them, he would have thought he had arrived at a vegetable market on Earth.
Looking again at the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, it had now become a pathetic, frail little stone tower placed in the center.
Wang Wu almost thought that all he had experienced earlier was an illusion.
Yet, when he looked up, he could still see part of that Zhenyuan Tower.
"Wang Wu, what are you standing there for, take a seat."
The Frost Monarch spoke calmly, as if she were a different person.
And as she spoke, gazes began to turn towards him, and there were quite a few people here.
In the most prominent position, sat seven people, including the Frost Monarch and Elder Hui, indicating that they were likely the seven Second-Grade Elders of the Hidden Origin Elder Council.
Then in the second row, there were also seven seats, but only six people, was the empty one prepared for him?
In the third row, there were eighty-one seats, and among them, Wang Wu saw Feng Muhai, a familiar face.
But it seemed he was just as clueless, his shocked expression like he had swallowed a goose egg.
Oh dear, such a grand scene, even the Black Emperor could only sit in the second row.
No wonder the Sin Prison Chief was stammering before, not daring to speak carelessly. Well, having so many big shots waiting made him feel guilty.
Wang Wu quickly stepped back, intending to stand in the back row, but then the Frost Monarch shot him a fierce glare, so he had no choice but to sit in the empty seat next to the Black Emperor.
It was quite awkward,
because without a doubt, Wang Wu was the weakest here, the rest were all above Taiyi Fifth Tier.
"Begin!"
An amiable-looking elder in the first row spoke softly, then activated three complete array souls!
The three array souls flew towards the mottled, shabby Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower. With a hum, the tower seemed to respond, revealing a series of void giant tower illusions that merged and became more real.
If judged by realism, it could at least have 10% authenticity.
The three array souls could yield a ten percent share, impressive indeed.
Then Elder Hui also released his array soul, and upon merging with the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, formed a void giant tower illusion that followed suit, merging with the previous three, making the giant tower illusion even more real.
Hmm, it had at least a 4% share.
"So, is this a loot-sharing meeting, oh no, is the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower Limited Liability Company officially going public in the Hidden Origin Association?"
Wang Wu suddenly realized.
