Global Cultivation: First-time Top-up for the Ultimate Destiny Treasure Chapter 288: Ji Tongtian's Bad Idea

Chapter 288: Ji Tongtian’s Bad Idea

Ji Tongtian, who had calmed down, looked at the elders present and coughed lightly.

"Seniors, what are your thoughts? You should know that I am only a city lord. Although I have some guards under me, my strength is still insufficient compared to all of you."

Old Master Nie and the others looked at each other. Old Master Lin Yan looked at Ji Tongtian and said seriously, "City Lord Ji, actually, we just came to tell you about it. After all, you can't be of much help, and your usefulness is limited, so..."

The more Lin Yan spoke, the darker Ji Tongtian's face became. Alright, it seems like they really just came to inform him.

However, what Lin Yan said was right. Even the few of them might not be able to defeat the Venerable Lone Dragon, let alone a small city lord like him?

He believed that he was also at the perfect foundation establishment stage, but his attributes and spells were far inferior to these few old fellows. If they were unable to defeat him, how could he fight with him? With his head?

After thinking this through, he did not get angry at Old Master Lin Yan's words. Instead, he continued to speak indifferently, "seniors, since all of you said that the Venerable Lone Dragon one can talk, doesn't that mean that there is still room for us to ease the situation? As long as we contribute some treasures or something, we might be able to get along peacefully."

Once these words were said, grandfather Nie and the rest looked at Ji Tongtian as if they were looking at a fool. They did not expect City Lord Ji, who was usually strict with himself, to actually say such words.

It was indeed possible to compromise, but that was only possible under the conditions of the same race. However, what kind of enemy were they facing now? That was the demon race. So, what was the demon race? They did not understand either...

However, they knew one thing. The Venerable Lone Dragon hated the human race very much. He even said that the demon race and the human race had an irreconcilable relationship. This kind of relationship was not something that could be mended with just a few treasures.

At this moment, Ji Tongtian seemed to have thought this through as well. He revealed an embarra.s.sed expression. It was true that he was a little delirious just now, which was why he said such words.

Now that he thought about it, he felt a little ashamed of the human race. If he had to compromise with a foreign race, did that not mean that the human race was inferior to them?

When he thought of this, Ji Tongtian could only sigh and say, "seniors, you should see what you should do. Just as you have said, that is not a battle that the soldiers of my city lord's mansion can partic.i.p.ate in. Moreover, even with my strength alone, I can not fight against tens of thousands of beast tide troops."

At this time, Li Xuande waved his hand, stopping Ji Tongtian from continuing what he wanted to say.

Li Xuande used that thick and heavy voice to slowly say, "City Lord Ji, calm down first. Even if the other party is extremely powerful, we might still have a chance. Moreover, there is still a young friend whose strength is far above ours. He has fought with that demon before, so it is not hopeless."

Hearing this, Ji Tongtian's eyes lit up. Originally, when he heard that the demon race was in the core formation realm or was leading tens of thousands of late-stage foundation establishment beast tides, he was stunned.

He was completely dumbfounded. He did not want to use his brain at all. He even thought that the great desolate region had already fallen into doomsday.

However, now, it seemed that there was still some chance and hope?

"Who is that person?"

Ji Tongtian's eyes lit up as he looked at Li Xuande and asked who the young friend they were talking about was.

Li Xuande waved his hand and said indifferently, "It's not convenient to reveal this for the time being. You just need to know that the little friend's strength is far above ours."

After saying this, Ji Tongtian did not continue to ask any more questions. After that, he sat down and looked at the few elders as he asked in a low voice, "then, seniors, what can I do?"

"City Lord Ji, you only need to issue an announcement and gather the late-stage foundation establishment cultivators to fight against the beast tide. As for the demon race's Venerable Lone Dragon..."

Master Nie did not continue. He looked at the other elders with a trace of desperation in his eyes.

In the evening, the elders left the city lord's mansion. Ji Tongtian was busy issuing an announcement and trying to let the entire great desolate region know about this matter.

After all, they only had a dozen days to prepare for this matter.

...

Three days later.

Su Yi slowly opened his eyes in a cultivation room. After returning to Central Plains City, he did not miss a single second. He was completely in the process of cultivating.

After consuming the Jade Lotus of Destiny and the celestial-grade azure origin pill, his cultivation was already prepared to reach the perfect foundation establishment realm.

He looked at his current cultivation panel and smiled. Perhaps when the beast tide arrived, he could give them a surprise.

[Name: Su Yi]

[Realm: Late Foundation Establishment Ninth Level (86,451/90,000)]

As long as he swallowed a celestial-grade azure origin pill, he could directly reach the perfect foundation establishment realm.

Naturally, he had the experience of breaking through to the foundation establishment realm before. This time, he clearly had the intention to gamble.

If he gambled correctly, he would become the greatest hero in the world. If he gambled wrongly, there would not be a future.

He purified an ordinary azure origin pill into an celestial-grade one. He held it in his hand and looked at it. He did not consume it. Instead, he placed it in the storage s.p.a.ce of the immortal destiny seal.

This was his trump card and also his gambling stake.

At this moment, his immortal destiny seal suddenly moved. It was a message sent by Nie Ling through the seal.

"Grandpa wants you to go out with him."

This message made Su Yi puzzled for a moment before he quickly reacted.

Nie Dingtian wanted him to go out with him. He was afraid that he was going to do something big, and this big matter should be related to his life. That was why he did not tell Nie Ling.

Seeing this, he left the cultivation room and quickly arrived at the Nie family's mansion. Nie Dingtian was already waiting in front of the main door.

Nie Ling, on the other hand, stayed at Nie Dingtian's side and waved at him. Seeing that Su Yi had arrived, Nie Dingtian lightly smiled and then went up to greet him.

"Su Yi, you really came."

He knew what Old Master Nie was referring to. He looked at Nie Dingtian with a slight smile and replied, "of course, I'll do my part."

Nie Ling was confused. She did not know what kind of riddle the old and young were playing.

At this time, Nie Dingtian reached out and touched Nie Ling's head.

"Little girl, if you have nothing to do, stay at home and cultivate. Don't go anywhere. Grandfather will be back soon."

Hearing this, Nie Ling seemed to have understood something. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly as she said seriously.

"Got it, grandpa!"

She knew that she would not be able to help much in this matter. Instead of worrying about her family, it would be better to wait for news at home.

Nie Dingtian removed his palm and looked at Nie Ling with a profound gaze. Then, he stepped forward and placed his hand on Su Yi's shoulder.

"Let's go, Su Yi."

"Okay."

After replying, the two of them slowly left the main gate of the Nie residence.

Behind them, Nie Ling watched the two of them leave. One was her grandfather who doted on her the most, while the other was the person who held the most weight in her heart.

At this moment, they were embarking on a journey for the sake of the great desolate region's peace. The only thing she could do was to quietly whisper behind her back.

"Su Yi, take care!"
