In the otherworld, the stronghold established by humans had the appearance of an ancient city.

In all four directions, the city walls were connected. On the outer side of the city wall, the bones of creatures from the otherworld that had been specially processed were stuck into it.

These bones were simple and practical materials. They could deter ordinary creatures from the otherworld that came out at night.

The new policy was announced without any warning.

However, none of the martial arts experts of the Daxia Kingdom objected.

The warriors understood the underlying intentions. Most of them obediently followed the new policy and either left Jiangnan province or entered the stronghold in the otherworld.

What followed was confusion. From their mentality, body, and knowledge, they were not prepared for anything.

This was especially true for small and medium-sized martial arts factions. The core members looked to their boss, and their boss looked to the other factions. In the end, they looked at each other, and everyone was at a loss.

On the square opposite the space-travel passage was a restaurant operated by the Myriad Phenomena Sect.

At this moment, there was a long line of customers holding queue tickets.

Chen Yiming had once used four large golden words to guide the adventurers in the stronghold to the rocky plains. Therefore, a rumor spread that if something happened, he would come to the square at the exit of the space-travel passage.

The ones who were most likely to receive the insider information were undoubtedly the Myriad Phenomena Sect, the largest sect in Jiangnan. This caused the business of the restaurants operated by the Myriad Phenomena Sect to soar,

even though the cost of eating at the restaurants here far exceeded the average cost of eating at other restaurants in the stronghold.

Of course, Chen Yiming hadn’t given his faction any insider information. There was no need for that. The province had already given them a lot of special privileges.

In the lobby on the first floor of the restaurant, in the northeast corner, there were more than 10 men and women sitting around a dining table with dishes in front of them.

The ingredients were all from creatures from the otherworld. To martial arts disciples, these were all priceless supplements. To warriors, it was also a good supplement for their daily cultivation.

“Old Qin, why are they all customers with the same goal as us? There’s no insider information being traded!”

A middle-aged woman in simple clothes looked at the dishes in front of her with a pained expression.

She pricked up her ears and listened for a long time. However, it was either a commotion coming from the door from time to time or a conversation about something unrelated.

Old Qin smiled bitterly. What could he do?

It had to be known that once upon a time, a warrior in a small city with hundreds of thousands of people was a big shot.

Now, the number of warriors in Jiangnan province had increased by dozens or even hundreds of times. Their status was no longer the same as before, and they no longer enjoyed special privileges.

Naturally, no one from the government would tell them the insider information in advance in order to rope in the civilian warriors.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman sighed and continued, “Old Qin, the supplies the team brought are limited. Why don’t we just go out of the city to hunt? We can’t just sit back and eat our fill.”

In order to allow the new policy to be implemented smoothly, Jiangnan province had also secretly reduced the supply of cultivation resources for the warrior level.

This method helped to increase the price of cultivation resources on the market.

Warriors were not ordinary people. Their daily cultivation consumed a lot of energy and resources, so they could not go against the direction of the new policy.

Old Qin’s chopsticks froze in midair as the gazes of everyone at the table fell on him.

After a long time, he sighed and said, “Three days, at most three days. During this time, let’s split up and gather information. Try your best to be prepared.”

Of course, Old Qin knew that he could not just sit back and do nothing.

However, as the leader of a team of more than 10 people, not only did he have to consider money, but he also had to consider the overall situation. This was the first time they were fighting the unfamiliar creatures from the otherworld, and if they were not careful, there would be casualties.

Just as the entire stronghold fell into a confused atmosphere, suddenly, a light comparable to a small sun appeared in the distant sky.

Countless cries of surprise shook the entire stronghold.

Everyone was alarmed. They jumped onto the high ground and looked in the direction of the light.

“It’s the graveyard!”

An experienced adventurer had determined the source of the commotion from simply estimating the distance.

The warriors were dumbfounded and their eyes widened.

This was no longer the destructive power of an ordinary meteor. If it landed on the sea of the blue planet, it would be enough to cause a terrifying tsunami that would sweep across the coastline of many countries.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as enough to destroy a country.

It was hard to imagine that they would have a chance of surviving if they were there.

They did not have to wait long.

The light comparable to a small sun fell straight to the horizon.

Their vision instantly turned white, and the blinding light forced them to close their eyes.

The sound came a moment later than the light.

Immediately after, there was a loud bang. Everyone’s heads went blank, and their minds buzzed. Their minds went blank for a moment.

“Oh my god!”

“Is it coming?”

“It should be fine from this distance!”

When their vision returned, everyone felt an invisible shock wave heading towards the human stronghold.

The shock wave spread out endlessly, destroying all obstacles along the way. To the naked eye, it looked like everything had directly melted into ashes.

Some unlucky flying creatures flapped their wings in panic and tried to fly into the sky.

However, as soon as they flew into the air, they were swept away by the shock wave. They could not even struggle and disappeared completely.

At this moment, in the face of such a terrifying shock wave, the human stronghold was in chaos.

However, there was nowhere to hide. They could only enter the space-travel passage and return to the blue planet. However, the square was filled with people. Only a few people could squeeze into the space-travel passage.

About 10 minutes later, the aftershock of the shock wave spread to the human stronghold and weakened to the level of a typhoon.

Most of the buildings in the stronghold were modular. Their stability, strength, and resistance were average, and they were severely damaged on the spot.

On the other hand, the warriors were generally fine.

Only a few people were hit by the debris and were covered in dust.

“Is the otherworld that terrifying?”

“Why did we set up a stronghold here? Do you want us to die?”

Discussions rose and fell. Most people thought that an unknown disaster had occurred in the otherworld.

In the military camp in the otherworld, similar to the other places in the human stronghold, it was also in a mess.

More than 10,000 martial arts experts from the military stood motionless against the aftershock of the shock wave, ignoring the debris that was still rolling around them.

They were divided into four divisions, and each division was divided into various elite teams. The team leaders were all at the level of having mastered the transformation of internal force, while the team members were all warriors who had the power of internal force.

General Mu Wu frowned and thought to himself, “Could this be the signal that Governor Wang was talking about?”

It was really unbelievable. With such destructive power, he estimated that with just a few blows, the entire Daxia Kingdom would probably be destroyed.

General Mu, who had always been swift and decisive, suddenly hesitated and did not give the order to set off.

After waiting for five minutes,

Mu Wu paced back and forth anxiously.

No other incidents occurred. A second small sun did not appear.

They waited for another five minutes.

Mu Wu was almost certain that it was the ‘signal’.

Without any hesitation, he immediately gave the order for the entire army to attack.

The gates of the military camp opened on both sides. General Mu Wu was at the front, and the four divisions maintained their formation. They exited from the gates one by one and rushed towards the location of the incident.

At the same time, the head of the provincial publicity department, Duan Feng, informed his subordinates about the ‘signal’ and arranged for it to be spread out as soon as possible through various channels.

About half an hour later, the warrior army from the human stronghold set off and quickly followed the military team that had set off earlier.

In the Chen family house, Chen Yiming was lying on the bed, still playing the game.

The figure in his mind: Successfully launched an attack with the sword from the sky.

Chen Yiming: How’s the lethality?

The figure in his mind: It leveled the graveyard with one strike.

Chen Yiming was speechless.

He was dumbfounded.

The reason for this was because someone in his previous world had said that the rules were decided by one’s strength.

At that time, he wanted to represent the blue planet to display his strength to the otherworld. Therefore, he instructed the figure in his mind to use as much strength as possible.

Then, with the enhancement from the Undying Body talent and the fact that he wasn’t afraid of death, he naturally chose to showcase his finishing move: Giant from the sky.

However, he had to be flexible and adapt it to become the falling sword.

After a while, Chen Yiming received a shocking piece of news from the spiritual figure.

The mysterious symbols acted as some kind of medium to connect the human body to the power of nature. Most of the damage would be transferred away.

The spiritual figure turned into a sword and fell from the sky. Even without the enhancement from the Undying Body talent, it was still unharmed.

In other words, as long as the mysterious symbols were around, it was very difficult to kill living creatures in the inscription realm. This was because to a certain extent, they were attacking the power of nature corresponding to the mysterious symbols.

“The treants died too aggrievedly.”

From the spiritual figure, Chen Yiming learned how powerful the inscription realm was. The first thing he thought of was the treants who had died under the giant’s attack.

He guessed that each of the small treants was a part of its complete spiritual will.

Thinking back, when all the treants were fused together, their huge roots had fused into one and they had gathered all their power into the mysterious underground space.

Then, the spiritual figure launched a surprise attack from the other side of the space-travel passage. The Sword Aura storm had killed too many split treants at once, causing a huge problem for the other party.

He remembered that the treants could not recover to their full form, but only fused into three treants that were half a level weaker.

If they were half a level weaker, their cultivation level would definitely have fallen out of the inscription realm. It was very likely that their connection with the power of nature was no longer as close as before.

That was why they had died in his hands.

That night, the evening news did not report any news related to the stronghold in the otherworld.

However, the office area of the provincial government was brightly lit all night. Everyone was at their posts.

This reaction gave the people who did not know the truth a bad feeling. Could it be that something had happened to the many warriors who had entered the otherworld?

For a moment, the atmosphere in Jiangnan province froze.

The otherworld had always represented unknown dangers, and it was very difficult for everyone to feel at ease.

The sun rose again.

At Jiangnan TV Station, there was still an hour before the morning news started. The data from the television station showed that the number of viewers had increased abnormally.

The warriors who entered the otherworld not only represented themselves, but also their families, clans, factions, and so on.

Some bad rumors were spreading last night, causing the people paying attention to this matter to be nervous and lose sleep all night, afraid that something big had happened.

After waiting anxiously for an hour, a beautiful announcer stood in front of the camera. She was so excited that she almost lost control of her emotions. Even her makeup could not hide it.

Soon, they started to announce the big news of the day: humans had successfully occupied the graveyard and dug out a large number of soul crystals from the ground.

Soul crystals had always been extremely rare.

The reason was that humans’ talent in the spiritual aspect was generally far inferior to that of undead creatures of the same level. As a result, every soul crystal was a reward that required a lot of risk to obtain.

In addition, the soul crystals contained broken spiritual wills. While it could be used to temper one’s spiritual power, it also brought about the hidden danger of damaging one’s mind.

Currently, the reason why the beautiful announcer had placed the news of the soul crystals together with the humans’ occupation of the graveyard was all because of the crystal meditation technique.

The purification power produced by the crystal meditation technique could allow one to be unaffected by the broken spiritual wills, turning the soul crystals into the best cultivation resource.

Other than the active spiritual state brought about by resisting the power of corruption in the trial grounds created by the endless number of ghosts and deformed monsters, with the help of the crystal meditation technique, the soul crystal was the second most important item in one’s cultivation in the warrior realm.

In Jiangnan City, In the Dawn Martial Arts Training Center, in Class One, there was a group of students with the best talent in the training center. Most of these students were from the various high schools in Jiangnan City, and all of them were at the top of the disciple realm.

The martial arts teacher, An Xiujie, was also the boss of the training center. He led dozens of students to watch the replay of the morning news.

The real reason for this was to make use of the crystal meditation technique to recruit more students with potential and earn more money. At the same time, it would increase the reputation of the Dawn Martial Arts Training Center.

Another reason was that the price of cultivation resources at the warrior level had increased exponentially. He did not want to leave Jiangnan province, nor did he want to enter the otherworld. He only wanted to live a stable life.

This was a necessity.

“Teacher An, after we master the crystal meditation technique, even if we don’t enter the trial grounds, we can use the soul crystals to quickly temper our spiritual power,” a girl said excitedly.

“That’s right. After mastering the crystal meditation technique, the broken spiritual wills in the soul crystals will no longer be a problem,” An Xiujie explained with a serious expression.

Of course, he understood his student’s thoughts. They felt that they were still young and inexperienced in combat. To enter the trial grounds, it was not enough for them to just master the crystal meditation technique.

The soul crystals made up for this. Those who could afford it could just buy it.

As soon as he finished speaking, the students cheered on the spot.

Almost everyone was fantasizing in their hearts, imagining a similar scene: After mastering the crystal meditation technique, one would first use the soul crystal to quickly improve themselves before entering the trial grounds to quickly progress even further in their cultivation.

They would achieve one break through after another like a hot knife cutting through butter and became a big shot at a young age.

An Xiujie remained serious and did not say anything.

There was something that he could only bury in his heart. The undead creatures were not like the deformed monsters that could not be wiped out.

The news mentioned that humans had already occupied the graveyard, which meant that the soul crystals were being divided up and would soon be used up for cultivation.

By the time the students mastered the crystal meditation technique, children like them would not be able to get anything from the graveyard. Or perhaps the remaining few soul crystals would have already been sold for a sky-high price.
