Chapter 1551: Chapter 1196: Wide-Ranging Impact! In the End, Cultivation Depends on Yourself! (12th Bonus Chapter for Monthly Tickets)

Within a single day, as tens of millions of Players suddenly disappeared from the Mixed Martial Arts World, numerous sects including the vassal states reacted with a series of different responses.

Although the number of Players within Black Wind Village was the greatest among all the sects, reaching a tally of one hundred and sixty thousand.

Yet compared to the significantly larger vassal states, it was, of course, still insignificant.

The officials of the various vassal states had the biggest reaction to the sudden disappearance of the Abnormal People, immediately mobilizing a large amount of manpower to launch an investigation at the first moment.

Next came Wudang, Kunlun, Kongtong, Shaolin, Hua Mountain and numerous other sects with a considerable number of Players, which were also consequently disturbed, filled with doubt and uncertainty.

Black Wind Village, because of the presence of Jiang Dali, who understood the situation, was the quickest to stabilize.

This was all because Black Wind Village had already established a comprehensive intelligence information transmission channel.

When the Players collectively received a tip-off that they would exit the Mixed Martial Arts World collectively within an hour, Jiang Dali was already aware of the severity and impact of the situation, thus through the Player responsible for transmitting intelligence, quickly conveyed his instructions to all areas of the Mountain Village.

Strive to minimize the impact and prevent panic from causing chaos in the sub branch of the Mountain Village.

An hour’s time was enough for the Players to spread the message.

Jiang Dali’s orders were quickly conveyed to the 97 sub branches and affiliated forces of the Mountain Village, known by the Squad Leaders and the mid to upper-levels in each sub branch.

Thus, after the Players collectively left, although various regions of Black Wind Village did experience disturbances, they also stabilized under the rapid and effective response of the numerous mid to upper-levels commanded in a crisis.

However, with the collective disappearance of Players, the intelligence transmission channel established by the Players also completely collapsed.

For a moment, although the mid to upper-levels in various regions held the situation steady, they were also in a state of extreme confusion and shock, momentarily unable to contact Jiang Dali, the village chief, and could only strictly adhere to the orders of Jiang Dali.

The instructions Jiang Dali conveyed to the mid to upper-levels in each region were only three.

First, each region should quickly recall any external personnel to defend their respective territories, no one should go out unless necessary;

Second, each region should be ready to accept material assistance from the three states of Song, Ming, and Tang at any moment;

Third, all external resource points in each region should be temporarily abandoned, any outsiders daring to intrude on the territory should be killed without exception.

The issuance of these three instructions was increasingly severe.

It seemed as if Black Wind Village had suddenly entered an emergency wartime alert state, with the tension sharply drawn, causing a sense of great surprise among the mid to upper-levels managing each area.

However, due to most mid to upper-levels in the regions, who at the earliest moment had received Jiang Dali’s large-scale force mission information from the Abnormal People, they could quickly adapt to such an emergency wartime alert state.

...

Room, inside a pitch-black room.

A burst of white light suddenly appeared.

Within the white light, a figure appeared, quickly merging into the darkness, only a pair of bright eyes seemed to flash briefly.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in the room.

"You’ve indeed come up. Aren’t you afraid of being punished?"

There was indeed someone else in the room, seemingly waiting here from earlier, unsurprised by the figure in the white light appearing out of thin air.

"Didn’t you come up earlier too, why aren’t you afraid of punishment?"

The person who appeared coldly laughed.

The person in the darkness was silent for a moment, then said, "Compared to punishment, I don’t want to leave this world more, the feeling of cultivating here is indeed very comfortable, and there’s no need to face the external intrigues among human affairs. More importantly... I feel I’m about to make that breakthrough..."

The previous person said, "You are definitely trouble, of course, I feel even more troubled. Moreover... I am also about to break through..."

"Both of us breaking through was expected. But now the trouble has already happened, and the Black Wind Village chief is facing great trouble."

"Do you think this trouble can resolve him? Haha..."

"I of course don’t think so, but this situation you saw, even we weren’t informed beforehand, it happened suddenly, indicating that the higher-ups have already communicated and reached an agreement, but it’s hard for me to imagine why would the top go to such lengths for a Black Wind Village chief, which doesn’t fit our interests at all."

"Perhaps it involves greater interests? Who knows? The top might have already run out of patience, the few individuals holding the ancient texts have permissions more than ours, maybe they know more and have been exposed to more, what we can see is ultimately limited."

"You mean... maybe... maybe the top has found ancient text information related to the Black Wind Village chief and discovered something remarkable?"

"Perhaps, but the current situation seems more like the top has contacted God-searching Palace and other major forces in some aspects of Mixed Martial Arts and reached a consensus. Although our Yun Family opposes, if the other three families agree, it’s also to no effect."

The two fell into silence as their conversation reached this point.

This is fundamentally beyond anything they can change.

Even the family factions they represent cannot change it.

Even if they have the privilege to return to the Mixed Martial Arts World now, they are like pitiful creatures, trapped in this dark room, unable to leave, nor can they disclose any of the information they know to the outside world. This sense of helplessness and frustration makes even someone with their high aspirations feel disgusted and agitated.

And the only way to resolve this disgust and agitation seems to be to become stronger.

Compared to the players who only recently learned about the Internal Cultivation Methods developed by the Supreme Alliance, as disciples of the Martial Arts Family, they had already accessed these secrets much earlier. They even found their paths to making Martial Arts stronger through practicing in the Mixed Martial Arts World and combining their insights.

This is why they can be stronger than other players and better unleash the power of various Martial Arts, simply because they are more immersed, devout, and persistent!

...

The level of one’s Realm is never determined by others, but by oneself.

Jiang Dali once thought about how he would respond if the players he could continuously reap suddenly disappeared one day, or even worse scenarios occurred.

He had given himself an answer at that time — start from scratch, build a skyscraper from the ground, only then can miracles happen!

Once reborn in this world, he managed to get by without any support until the army of players arrived.

Now, with a higher status and starting point, despite facing more fearsome enemies, there is no reason to be panicked or lose the courage to counter strong foes simply because of the disappearance of players.

Because Jiang Dali never lacks courage, never lacks Battle Intent, and never easily gives up in any adversity!

Therefore, in the first instance of all players collectively logging off, he immediately set out to Shaolin, seizing all time and opportunities to enhance his power.

Having lost the players as targets to reap, he must not slack off but needs to exert every effort to rapidly elevate his power.

This is not only to face the Eternal Life God but also to demonstrate his astonishing cultivation talent to all those who might be observing in secret.

If this incident of collective player logging off was an event deliberately created by the family who discovered some of his secrets, specifically to restrain him, although the possibility is extremely small, he has to defend against it. Naturally, he must display awe-inspiring rapid power enhancement to eliminate such potential threats.

At present, using the over six million Cultivation Points and Potential Points accumulated recently in the panel to enhance the Power Realm is clearly insufficient.

But if he goes to the deeply-rooted Shaolin, challenges the legendary Shaolin Blessed Land Wooden Man Alley, even though it might still be insufficient to accumulate Cultivation Points and Potential Points to elevate the Power Realm, there could be a chance to access the Yuan-level Mohe Unlimited left by Dharma, finding more ways to restrain the Heavenly Mohe Unlimited power of the Eternal Life God.

On the other hand, utilizing Shaolin’s profound power could also help establish a solid defensive line at this moment when Black Wind Village is weakened due to the loss of large numbers of personnel.

Jiang Dali does not feel embarrassed or ashamed about this.

Since Shaolin had so brazenly handed him the hot potato of Dharma’s Heart, now they have to exert some effort.

Wanting to lock the mountain gates and say, "a monk dislikes fighting and killing," and let him Jiang Dali and others fight it out with no consequence — is there such a good thing?

Two days later.

On their way to Mongolia and Shu, Nie Renwang and Zhu Wushi were respectively dropped off along the way, while Jiang Dali and Ying Yuan together rode the dragon to the Songshan Shaolin Ancestral Court.

The ancient famous monastery, built to the north hillside, confronts the ancient city of Luoyang not far away. In front of the mountain gate are a pair of stone lions, male and female opposites, majestic and imposing. The main gate is a building with single eaves, wide across three bays, lying on a nearly ten-foot-high brick platform, accompanied by hard mountain-style side doors and Eight Characters walls on both sides.

The Demon Dragon, carrying the Fire Qilin, comes across from the sky, its aura incredibly astonishing, such tremendous commotion immediately alarmed many monks and high-ranking monks inside this ancient monastery. Suddenly, the otherwise earthly paradise-like, leisurely and peaceful Shaolin Temple turned into a place as if facing a great enemy, with the air seemingly filled with tense atmosphere.

A large number of bald monks looked up at the two gigantic creatures appearing in the sky, whispering in shock and discussing among themselves. Under the sunlight, this group of bald heads seemed to sway like shimmering lakes, quite dazzlingly reflective.

Fortunately, there was no Shaolin Player present, otherwise, this Buddhist quiet place surely wouldn’t miss a chorus of "Shit, Shit," replacing Amitabha Buddha’s exclamations.

"Without the Shaolin players, these Shaolin bald heads look dumbfounded."

Jiang Dali stood proudly atop the dragon’s back, stretching out his hand to shield his eyes as he squinted at the group of reflective bald heads below, speaking with power, his Lion Roar voice exploded like thunder throughout the mountain.

"Listen up, Shaolin High Monks down there, there’s no need to panic. I, the Black Wind Village Chief, have come today to pay respects to your mountain, to meet with your Shaolin Abbot and Hui Generation monks for important discussions. You all make room quickly for this Village Chief to descend on my mount."

(Good night!)
