Cultivation: I have an omnipotent land

Chapter 92 Border Crisis

On this day, Xiao Ming meditated and cultivated as usual.

Suddenly, the sound of a bell rang out from Tian Shu Peak.

At first, Xiao Ming didn't care, but after the bell rang three times, it didn't stop and rang three more times.

"Six bell tolls signify the summoning of all the sect's leaders and elders for a meeting." Xiao Ming opened his eyes.

Although he didn't know what had happened, Xiao Ming didn't dare to delay and immediately rushed to Tian Shu Peak.

The sect's main hall was no longer as tranquil as before. Seventy or eighty Foundation Establishment deacons stood below the hall, while six or seven Core Formation elders sat in the hall.

With such a display of power, even the sect leader, Zong Zhengming, stood obediently below.

"What on earth has happened?" Xiao Ming wondered.

"Senior Brother Xiao!" While Xiao Ming was pondering, a slender hand patted his shoulder.

Xiao Ming turned around and saw a young girl in green clothes looking at him with a smile.

"Junior Sister Yan, you've broken through to the Foundation Establishment stage."

"This is all thanks to Senior Brother Xiao's help." Yan Yuxue was naturally referring to the main ingredient of the Foundation Establishment Pill.

"What's the point of talking about mutual benefit? It's just a matter of each getting what they need," Xiao Ming said earnestly, shaking his head.

"Junior Sister Yan, do you know what happened?"

Yan Yuxue also shook her head.

Just then, an old man dressed in a purple robe walked in from the back of the hall, followed by a chubby boy carrying two spirit swords on his back.

"It's Lin Tianrui." Xiao Ming recognized him at a glance. This true disciple had left a deep impression on him during his previous trip to Yan Family City.

Lin Tianrui also noticed Xiao Ming's gaze and nodded and smiled at him.

"Greetings, Grand Elder!"

At the same time, everyone present, including the Core Formation Elder sitting in the hall, stood up and bowed to him.

The old man in purple robes standing before us is Lin Sheng, the Grand Elder of the Gu Spirit Sect.

The elder walked to the chair in the center of the hall and sat down, then got straight to the point: "Enough with the small talk. I'm sure you're all curious about what happened that prompted me to summon you all so hastily. Yesterday I received an urgent message from the border: a beast tide has broken out there."

"Border beast tide!"

The Foundation Establishment cultivators present all changed their expressions, but the Core Formation elders in the hall remained calm, clearly having already received the news beforehand.

The border beast tide is not like the small-scale skirmishes within the Yue Kingdom. Even fourth-tier demonic beasts are extremely rare to see, and the damage it causes is at most the destruction of a few obscure families and markets.

It wouldn't be surprising if the border beast tide included monsters of the seventh rank or higher. If it were a once-in-a-century beast tide riot, it wouldn't be impossible for a fully-formed great demon to appear.

In such a beast tide, it is not uncommon for Core Formation cultivators to perish.

"It's quite large. Can the border hold it off?" a Foundation Establishment cultivator asked.

"If the situation were optimistic, why would I be in such a hurry to call you here?"

"In order to deal with this matter, the Ancestor personally came out of seclusion to discuss with the Corpse Soul Sect and the Beast Spirit Sect. The border matter is related to the safety of the three sects, so all three sects must contribute their efforts and send some elite forces to guard the southern border. The Flame Sun True Person of the Beast Spirit Sect will personally be stationed at the border."

Upon hearing that a Nascent Soul Grandmaster was stationed at the border, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief.

"I have drafted a list here, which has been submitted to the Ancestor for review. The people on the list will go to the southern border to guard against the beast tides for three years."

Upon seeing the list in Elder Lin Sheng's hand, the people present immediately began to whisper among themselves.

"Alright, I know many of you have already completed your sect missions. But the current situation is special, and it's time to contribute to the sect. We can't refuse." The Grand Elder interrupted the whispers, but didn't completely cut off the conversation.

"Of course, since the sect owes you this time, your contribution points will be doubled, and you can also withdraw half of them in advance."

Under the elder's coercion and enticement, everyone present shut their mouths.

"A total of 120 people were selected this time, including two Core Formation Elders, eighteen Foundation Establishment Deacons, and one hundred Qi Refining Disciples from both the inner and outer sects."

"The two Core Formation elders are Elder Duanmu Yan from Xuanyuan Peak and Elder Yun Hong from Tianshu Peak."

Upon hearing the Grand Elder call out their names, both elders remained expressionless, clearly having already discussed the matter privately.

"The chosen Foundation Establishment deacons are Lin Tianrui..."

Upon hearing the first name, the Foundation Establishment cultivators present subconsciously looked at the chubby boy who had come in with the Grand Elder. Even their own descendants had been arranged to come in; it seemed that those who were called out could not escape.

"Wu Yingfeng, Su Jun, Xiao Ming, Yan Yuxue..."

As all the names were read out, the expressions of those present varied, some were happy, some were worried, and some, like Lin Tianrui, were full of fighting spirit and drive.

"Those of you who have gone back should take care of your personal affairs and depart in three days," the Grand Elder said, his gaze sweeping over the crowd.

As he walked out of the sect's main hall, Xiao Ming let out a long sigh.

The southern border had been peaceful for decades, so how did it suddenly turn into a beast tide? He had no idea what had happened there that caused him to suffer this undeserved disaster.

Despite having finally reached the Foundation Establishment stage, he still couldn't escape the fate of being dragged to the southern border to become cannon fodder.

Despite his frustration, Xiao Ming was not one to sit idly by and wait for death. He knew that the journey to the southern border would be fraught with danger, so he needed to quickly increase his strength and acquire more ways to save his life.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ming took out his contribution point token. He had just obtained a large number of contribution points, and now he needed to quickly convert these contribution points into his own strength.

Having made up his mind, he immediately went to Tianlu Pavilion and sold a batch of Qi-refining talismans that were no longer of much use to him, which greatly increased his contribution points. Afterwards, he took these contribution points and plunged into the Transmission Hall and Hundred Herbs Hall, spending most of them, and returned to his cave with a full load of things.

First is the elixir, the Azure Sky Pill, a second-grade elixir used to enhance cultivation.

Vitality Jade Bone Pill is a second-grade elixir used to heal injuries.

The Azure Dew Pill is a second-grade elixir used to quickly restore spiritual energy.

If it really is going to the southern border, Xiao Ming believes that the second-grade pills used to heal injuries and restore spiritual energy will be no less valuable than pills used to enhance cultivation.

Secondly, there are magical texts. Whether it's spells, cultivation insights, or even various accounts of what he saw and heard in the Southern Frontier, Xiao Ming accepts them all, knowing they might come in handy at a crucial moment.

After returning to his cave, Xiao Ming first packed his things quickly, and then entered the omnipotent space.

First, plant the three types of pills you exchanged to eliminate any worries you might have.

He then walked over to two other spiritual plants that were still in the budding stage.

【Name】：Hundred Barriers Bewildering Array

[Growth Status]: Budding stage (20%)

Current Status: Good

[Name]: Tian Lei Zi

[Growth Status]: Budding stage (15%)

Current Status: Good

The first spiritual plant was a foot-long vine with dark green roots and lush, vibrant green leaves that revealed some mysterious patterns.

The second seedling was even more peculiar; it didn't grow a single leaf and looked like a purple gem coral, its body shimmering with subtle lightning.

The fact that both spiritual plants grew in such a special way demonstrates their extraordinary nature.

Xiao Ming carefully loosened the soil and fertilized the two spiritual plants, hoping they would grow up quickly.
