Indestructible God King

“My senior apprentice-brother, the North Wolf Hall Lord, couldn’t be here with us today. So I, the East Wolf Deputy Hall Lord and his junior shall act on his behalf to cut the ribbons!” Wang Ke explained.

Everyone was okay with the arrangement.

“Next, we call upon the presence of the Golden Crow Sect’s eldest apprentice-sister, the most beautiful in all of the Ten-thousand Great Mountains, to join us on stage!” Wang Ke announced.

Zhang Li'er walked up the stage with a bright smile.

She felt not an ounce of embarrassment. What’s embarrassing about this?Even Chen Tianyuan is up there; what’s there to be afraid of? Besides, this is all to get the money! There’s nothing to be ashamed about!

The group of people stood in line, facing the crowd. Wang Ke was concerned about his Revered Teacher and the other guests feeling awkward, so he didn’t set time for them to deliver speeches.

A lady in qipao walked up to the honorable guests with a tray.

“Dear honorable guests, please take up the scissors so we can start!” Wang Ke said.

Chen Tianyuan nodded, still black-faced. Mo Sanshan’s face was twitching uncontrollably for a while. I am an Astral Infant cultivator! Am I really going to put up this cutting rope charade in front of an audience?Sect Lord! Speak up!Are we really going to do this?Such an embarrassment!

“Cut!” Wang Ke shouted.

“Booom~~~~~~~~~~~~~!”

Numerous Grand Ceremonial Lights were activated—Wang Ke had crafted another batch of them with the blueprint Princess Youyue had left him.

Auspicious colors soared to the sky surrounding God Wang Tower, beaming all over. Supported with musicians hired by Wang Ke, the atmosphere of the opening ceremony was boosted to the climax in an instant.

The ribbons were cut, signaling the official opening of God Wang Company!

“To a booming business! And endless wealth!” One of Wang Ke’s “touters” shouted from amidst the crowd.

“To a booming business! And endless wealth!” Many other “touters” shouted along with him.

Only then did the cultivators from every sect realize something—

“Elder Chen, did we think too much of it? God Wang Company is really just an ordinary business?” Elder Sun asked.

“It’s only the opening of a business, yet we came with this many disciples to show support?” Elder Chen’s jaw dropped.

“Did we make too big a deal out of it?”

“I... I don’t know...!”

“But people are wishing the company a booming business and endless wealth, aren’t they?”

………………

……....

Countless cultivators from the immortal sects were looking at Wang Ke, questioning themselves about why they made the trip; they started to feel cheated the more they spoke about the matter. Still, it didn’t feel like a ruse, considering the extremely prestigious guests on stage.

“I am really confused about the situation!” Elder Sun exclaimed with a frown.

“Let’s wait and see. Things will become clearer!” Elder Chen said after taking a deep breath.

Everyone was trying to control their soaring blood pressure and their wildly twitching eyelids as they waited.

On the other hand—Chen Tianyuan, Mo Sanshan, and the others could not wait to get off the stage and hide.

They were people with reputations, but they felt they were helping Wang Ke scam the audience. Did we all fall for Wang Ke’s trap?Most importantly, we did it willingly!Damn!

Chen Tianyuan threw a fierce stare at Wang Ke before getting off the stage, for the latter to infer he should have been forthcoming about what the ribbon-cutting was about. I would not have come if you had told me about this!

Wang Ke shrunk his head apologetically.

“Now!” Wang Ke shouted, “All the people who have attended the God Wang Company’s opening ceremony will receive a delicate gift. Please enter God Wang Tower and go up to the assembly hall on the third floor. I have prepared seats for you, so we can introduce our main product to everyone! Everyone, please!”

The bands played uplifting music while the auspicious rays of light bloomed in the sky. Even if the ceremony wasn’t the grandest, it surely was the liveliest.

Perhaps there had never been such a lively occasion in all of the Ten-thousand Great Mountains' history.

Chen Tianyuan was worried that fellow cultivators would ask him about the meaning of that ribbon-cutting ritual, so he rushed into the tower to hide. Too embarrassing! This horrible disciple of mine! How could he do that!

Many of Wang Ke’s well-trained subordinates ushered the people inside.

There were both lifts and escalators, but the cultivators could reach the third floor with one leap.

Everyone was filled with confusion. What the heck is this all about?What does the God Wang Company do?What is it going to sell?What were we invited here for?

Of course, many were fooled by the building’s luxurious furnishing.

All of them were accustomed to ancient architecture. Some sects advocated being one with nature; their disciples would tend to live inside thatched-roofed houses. When compared to those simple, dim-lit places, God Wang Tower—with its red carpet and show lights—gave them such a visual impact that they started to feel giddy.

Close to three thousand people entered the assembly hall on the third floor.

Wang Ke designed it according to the Great Hall of the People, with a two-deck seat arrangement within the hall itself.

Chen Tianyuan and other distinguished guests went to the upper deck, while countless chairs at the bottom could fit everyone else.

Tong An'an and the ten bald men hid amongst the general audience. They were all looking at a gigantic whiteboard hanging at the center of the assembly hall.

The lines of blood-colored words written on the whiteboard caught everyone’s attention.

‘A hundred and twenty-four years ago, during the great battle between the righteous and the demonic on Mount Langyan, the righteous faction lost a thousand and three hundred cultivators. The demons lost a thousand and four hundred.

‘A hundred and thirteen years ago, during the great battle between the righteous and the demonic at Lake Taixu, the righteous faction lost eight hundred and twenty-four cultivators, while the demonic faction lost seven hundred and ninety-eight!

‘A hundred and eight years ago, during the great battle between the righteous and the demonic at the Southern Miasmic Sea, the righteous faction lost three thousand and eight cultivators, while the demons lost four thousand two hundred and thirteen!

‘Ninety-six years ago, during the great battle between the righteous and the demonic at the Northern Miasmic Sea…!’

……………………

……

The battling history between the righteous and the demonic was recorded on the whiteboard. Those bloodied death tolls drew memories out of many people’s minds. A great number among the crowd had experienced those battles first hand. Many of their own revered teachers, teacher-uncles, apprentice-brothers and sisters; many died in those battles.

The immortal sect disciples walked into the assembly hall while commenting about the building. Their hearts suddenly felt heavy as they read.

Why is the God Wang Company reminding us of these tragedies?

Considering the ribbon-cutting ceremony, it is obvious that the Heavenly Wolf Sect and the Golden Crow Sect fully support whatever the God Wang Company does!

Is this something the two top immortal sects are pushing towards?Could it be related to the conflict between the demonic and the righteous factions?It must be something big!

Everyones’ faces instantly showed grim expressions as they became serious about the product launch.

Nothing about the conflict between the demonic and the righteous factions can be considered trivial!

So many seniors died on those battlefields. Now that everyone has gathered here, something earthshaking is bound to be announced!
