Chapter 64: The Immortal Sect Descends to the Mortal World

In August of the 30th year of the Shutian Calendar, in Donghua Commandery, a heavily fortified town where the Northern Route of the Wu Family Army had once been stationed, officials of the Wu Family Army were currently gathering new recruits. Batch after batch of tattered, able-bodied young men walked into the main camp, gazing eagerly at the army captains and officers, hoping to be selected.

However, the captains ruthlessly led the recruits to various testing stations. These tests included height measurements and sandpit jumps.

Some recruits who failed to be recruited immediately knelt down, begging for another chance.

(Author's Note 1: I couldn't find the name of the pirate crew that served as Rob Lucci's opponents when he awakened his Dark Justice, nor the name of the kingdom he rescued. Looking closely, Rob Lucci's eyebrows look super similar to Spandine's. Devil Fruits indeed all have side effects and flaws, which I will describe in detail in subsequent chapters.)

Seeing that the time limit was approaching and none of the members of the Yan family had been teleported back, nor had those from other factions, everyone knew that once the teleportation array closed, those inside would have no way out.

Zhan Yuge spent five days condensing her divine persona. This divine persona was larger than any she had seen in the Divine Tomb space, and since the condensation was not yet complete, the giant halo above her head spread out behind her. When the golden halo grew to be nearly twice her height, the divine persona was finally fully formed.

Will understood very well that Shiki was not as easy to fool as Gecko Moria, nor as easy to talk to as Donquixote Doflamingo. He was more powerful, more aggressive, and far more self-willed, meaning he didn't need any sufficient reason whatsoever; at any given moment, on a whim, he might do something detrimental to him.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, somewhat surprised that the unfamiliar young woman before him would say such a thing. Weren't those the kinds of things street scammers said? The old man cast a slightly regretful and pitying glance at the stranger—how could such a fine-looking young girl turn out to be a scamming charlatan?

Seeing that these people had lowered their gun muzzles, Liu Chen also picked up the travel bags, and while remaining on guard, slowly walked out the door.

Not far away, there was another booming sound, followed by a sky-shaking roar as a building-sized behemoth let out a roar of triumphant pride.

"Simple?" Su Jin swallowed. Actually, this wasn't a complete song; the lyrics were written by her, and the melody was divided into three sections, not all of which had been successfully created yet.

The people Hua Xie had sent over took nearly ten years to blend in perfectly, passing on important information from time to time.

"Child, put it away. This magical artifact of yours is even more powerful than the original Sun-Moon-Star Chain. After all, the Sun-Moon-Star Chain lacked a spiritual consciousness, but because you have integrated the spiritual consciousness of the Golden Spirit Gourd, its utility is immeasurable. Do not easily display it before others, especially the people over there." The ancestor of the Zhan family looked at Zhan Yuge with gratification.

The latter half of her sentence struck a chord in Chang Xiao's heart. She glared fiercely at the back of Yun Zhilan's head; otherwise, she would never have let herself be ordered around! With a stomp of her foot, she walked away with a deeply displeased expression.

Chen Zhendong looked at the telegram, then pointed to the map and spoke. He did not know that the spot where his finger poked was the later world-famous Argyle diamond mine, where ninety percent of the world's pink diamonds were mined.

"You help people? It'll be a miracle if you don't harm them," Xiao lianshan said with utter disdain.

I smiled and squatted down in front of the child. Because Xiao Lianshan was a glutton, he always carried various kinds of snacks on him, and on the way to Wolong Lake, he had even bought a package of salted goose. I asked him to hand it to me, and I passed it to the child.

For a cultivator to enter secluded cultivation to form a golden elixir usually took at least seven or eight years, and sometimes as many as fourteen or fifteen years. He had previously promised to provide Wan Qingping with all the medicinal pills needed to cultivate up to the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, but these pills were clearly not enough.

He didn't notice at all that while practicing his boxing, his "spirit" was also growing. When the meridians throughout his entire body were completely unblocked and his "spirit" became sufficiently powerful, he would be able to step into the Grandmaster realm.

In short, the flames of war that had originally only burned within Annam's borders quickly spread to the north. In the south, the Viet Cong guerrillas and the North Vietnamese army in disguise engaged in bloody ground combat with the US military, the South Korean military, the mercenary/Japanese military, and the Annam military. In the north, various types of US military warplanes frantically bombed North Vietnam. A strategic pattern of "bombing the north and fighting the south" was initially formed.
