Chapter 1080 - 1066: The Beast Tide Threat
The Bailan Realm is also under the jurisdiction of the Great City.
It requires passing through two Teleportation Light Gates to reach this area. When the two arrived, it just happened to be nighttime, and the lights in Bailan City were all lit.
Even though there was no electricity.
But the population of Bailan City is not small.
With just a rough glance, at least hundreds of thousands live there.
Most of them are a community of Martial Artists earning money in the Spirit Realm, and another part consists of the stationed army of Bailan City.
This city guards the spirit passage of the Bailan Realm, preventing any Exotic Beasts from the Bailan Realm from invading Canglan Star.
Among the many divided domains in the Dream Realm of the Spirit Realm, the Bailan Realm is not very noticeable.
It's more like a marginal area, with only a few tens of thousands of garrisoned soldiers.
Because there are no alien races living here.
The only threat is the annual beast tide, but Exotic Beasts are ultimately just beasts. Aside from those in high positions possessing intelligence, most of the rest are no different from wild animals. At most, they are stronger, more ferocious, and bigger in size than wild animals.
With the various defensive structures of Bailan City, as well as the Martial Artists and regular troops, the impact of beast tides over the years has been handled perfectly.
Of course.
In the past year or two, there has been a gradual intensification of the beast tide in Bailan City.
"This beast tide is the best place for you to train your Divine Technique. Try to see if you can infuse the Black Moon Divine Power into those three triangular marks on the palm of your hand."
Loloya pointed to the marks the City Lord had drawn on Baiyu's hand.
He had heard Loloya explain on the way here that this originated from the oldest Mystical Language, meaning "Summon Divine Spirit," but it had been improved many times to become what it is now.
By infusing the Divine Power into them.
It will grant the blessing of the Divine Spirit, causing a brief eruption of the true destructive power of the Divine Power throughout the body.
This is the "God Transformation."
However.
When Baiyu attempted to infuse Divine Power into it, there was no reaction. The Black Moon Divine Power would return to his body as soon as it was infused in a little bit.
"Only by filling the marks with Divine Power can you achieve the effect of God Transformation. Like this..."
Loloya clenched her left hand, and on the back of her hand, the same mark as Baiyu's lit up, with countless streams of Divine Power flowing like quicksand.
She radiated a blinding light and emanated an aura Baiyu had felt before from the City Lord that was unassailable.
She quickly released her hand, exhaling deeply.
"How did you manage that step?"
Baiyu asked.
Loloya smiled proudly, "The first time I successfully used it was when I was fighting the demon organization 'Painful Dawn.' I was on the verge of death, but for some reason, I suddenly achieved it."
When Baiyu heard her description, he felt slightly troubled, "So, there's no specific method to cultivate this Divine Technique? It can only be realized through insight between life and death?"
This seems quite troublesome.
If you realize it between life and death, it's fine; if not, it directly leads to demise.
Loloya said gravely, "It's not always like this. For example, Qian Xin cultivated successfully while meditating, but according to big data, it's easier to cultivate God Transformation during a battle. The reason, according to tests by the City Lord, is that spirituality is more active during battle, making it easier to mobilize Divine Power.
But the method is self-explored.
The path to the Extraordinary has more than one way. It depends on you.
But this time, resisting the beast tide is an assignment from the City Lord. I originally wanted to help you, but unfortunately, the City Lord does not allow it."
Loloya displayed a helpless expression. After bringing Baiyu to the City Lord's residence in Bailan City and introducing him, she left alone.
The City Lord's residence in Bailan City isn't luxurious, but compared to many residences in the city, it's fairly decent.
The City Lord is a middle-aged man with a Tier One power of Meteor.
So when Loloya and Baiyu arrived, he almost didn't realize why someone from the Tower of Miracles would suddenly visit, thinking he had made a mistake and was going to be taken back to the Great City for punishment.
After Loloya explained the intention of their visit, the City Lord relaxed.
"Officer Bai, the beast tide generally occurs during this season each year. Previously, we discovered Exotic Beasts gathering outside the city, for which we even lost a search team."
After Loloya left.
Geman, the City Lord of Bailan City, began speaking to Baiyu about the serious matter.
When he learned Baiyu was there to help solve the beast tide issue, Geman's enthusiasm increased a notch.
"Have you investigated the specific size of the beast tide?"
Baiyu asked seriously.
He came here primarily to see if he could learn God Transformation through combat. Obviously, the choice to send Baiyu here was because the beast tide here wouldn't be too easy to handle, nor would it be too dangerous.
It's a suitable training ground.
The second reason... there seems to be a manpower shortage; every City Lord's Attendant has tasks to worry about, and this year's beast tide in Bailan City is expected to far exceed previous years in scale. The City Lord had previously submitted a request for assistance to the Great City.
The City Lord seemed to be without suitable personnel, and Baiyu happened to return, so he was directly dispatched here.
"Specific size... Very large, estimated to be four times last year's beast tide." Geman showed a trace of concern on his face, "These beasts, every time food is scarce, want to storm Bailan City, and this time they seem to have proliferated again."
Four times? ππ«ππ²πππ―ππ¨π§ππ.ππ π¦
Baiyu was also stunned by this number, no wonder Geman requested assistance.
"Isn't there a way to eradicate it permanently?"
Once and for all.
Baiyu thought that even if some price had to be paid, it would be good to completely solve the beast tide issue.
However, the City Lord just shook his head.
"The lairs, breeding grounds, and original habitats of those Exotic Beasts are deep within the Bailan Realm. It's extremely difficult to reach, and easily leads to manpower losses. In such an environment, Exotic Beasts will be even harder to deal with."
The City Lord, seasoned in this area for many years, naturally understood what Baiyu was thinking.
He also wished for a permanent solution.
But it was completely unfeasible.
"The gathering of the beast tide is expected to take a few more days. In the meantime, we've been sending hunting teams out to cull small Exotic Beast gatherings to mitigate the harm of the beast tide. Officer Bai, you could explore the city these days. Bailan City has the largest materials trading market, and the materials brought by the beast tide each year reach astronomical figures.
If there's something you need, maybe you'll find it while exploring."
The City Lord warmly recommended.
Hearing the word "materials," Baiyu immediately thought of his Sequence Four Magic Elixir, Master of Techniques.
So far, he hadn't found any of the materials for the Magic Elixir, completely clueless.
Perhaps he would find something in Bailan City.
