Chapter 716: Chapter 244: Temple, Barrier (4900 words)_3
“Without breaking through this barrier, everything else is illusionary.”
“We’ve been fighting for such a long time, to no avail… we haven’t even seen the Five-colored Divine Stone.”
“Shall we join forces to figure out how to break this barrier?”
The strongmen from different powers exchanged glances.
Above the void, streams of spiritual power quickly communicated.
“Joining forces with Nightmare Hall is like seeking a tiger’s skin!”
“Without using their power, we cannot break through this barrier.”
“What will we do if they seize the Five-colored Divine Stone after we break the barrier?”
“It won’t be that simple, this is just the outermost layer of the barrier, who knows how many layers there are inside… We saw it when we cracked open the gap earlier, the temple was surrounded by flickering points of light, I fear that the restrictions inside the barrier are much more formidable than those outside!”
“The last time your people from Tang Country came in, they decimated them all. This time they are prepared, these people are tough players, if they seized the Five-colored Divine Stone, that would be bad…”
“There’s no choice, we’ll just have to take one step at a time!”
After the strongmen of various powers exchanged their opinions…
The middle-aged man from Tang Country who had spoken earlier nodded slightly and said, “Then, let’s join forces first.”
“Concentrate our strength and break this outermost barrier first!”
The curly-haired man in the black robe smiled slightly: “Those who understand the times are great men!”
At this moment, a short-haired woman emerged from the Sky Demon Sect and said, “Four hundred miles to my right, there is a location where the barrier’s power is weaker.”
“Especially around eleven o’clock at night, there will be a surge of strange power from within the barrier at that location.”
If you want to break through this barrier, you can breakthrough at that point.”
Damn it!
The Nightmare Hall strongmen, including the curly-haired man in a black robe, cursed simultaneously in their hearts.
The people from the Sky Demon Sect arrived the earliest and indeed found the weakness of the barrier!
Yet they were still putting on airs here!
“Huh?”
The short-haired woman from the Sky Demon Sect saw that the people from Nightmare Hall remained silent and sneered jokingly, “What, were you just bragging about joining forces, and now you’re not happy?”
“How could that be?” The curly-haired man in a black robe chuckled and raised his hand, “Please lead the way!”
The short-haired woman from the Sky Demon Sect gave a slight smirk, her figure flickered and turned into a ray of light, disappearing into the sky.
People from Tang Country, the Demon Race, and a few other powers from Star Nation immediately followed.
The strongmen from Nightmare Hall exchanged glances.
“Do you really believe them?”
“After we killed the Sky Demon Sect Leader, the people from the Sky Demon Sect fought back like mad, wishing to die with us… Their words can’t be trusted!”
“Yes, these people are in a league of their own, in case they join hands to scheme against us…”
“Enough!” The curly-haired man in a black robe snorted and said, “Do we have any other choice now?”
“They want to use our strength, aren’t we also looking to use their strength?”
“Just by ourselves, even if we spent hundreds of years studying, we wouldn’t be able to break this barrier!”
Seeing that the group of people did not dare to raise any objections, the curly-haired man in a black robe added, “This time, we also came prepared.”
“Even if they join forces with all their might, so what?”
“When it truly comes down to combat… hmph!”
“Regardless, we must get our hands on the Five-colored Divine Stone!”
A group of men in black robes nodded in unison.
Immediately, everyone turned into a stream of dark energy, pursuing the group with an incredibly fast speed.
——————————
Let’s chat about the plot.
The outline of this book is quite detailed, covering a large framework and involving the past and present lives of Chen Fan and Chu Xuan, so there is a lot to write and the storyline is very long.
From the confirmed map contained within the known content, it can be seen… Blue Star, The Heavenly Feather Realm, just these two domains alone would take millions of words to write about.
Not to mention the Four Realms that Chen Fan’s Beastmaster’s Space is connected to, and the vast Divine Domain that he dreamt of.
But my preferred and favorite way of writing is to gradually progress…
Which results in having to write about everyday life (I also can’t always write about beast-raising, otherwise it would become purely filler) during the transition period (during cultivation and rest).
Writing about everyday life is too challenging…
Some readers think the daily routine is too filler, so I try to make it humorous, which is actually harder to write than normal battles.
This book is indeed quite challenging to write… especially when I no longer dare to use traditional fantasy tropes such as conflicts, repression, eruptions, face slaps, etc.
A villain appears, some readers say how can there be such a bad person in the world?
Some readers say, why are there so many bad people in the world?
Truth be told, I was truly taken aback when I saw comments like these.
I don’t know how to explain.
All I can say is, what should I write if I don’t write such matters?
There are many books that write… three months later, what and what…
Five years later, what and what…
I really can’t write such scenarios… because it always feels as if the protagonist has nothing to do, the protagonist spaces out and a few years pass, then what exactly are we, the readers, watching?
Five years later?
Chen Fan is now raising so many Guardian Beasts, if he does nothing and sleeps for five years, five years later he would also be invincible.
We should be watching the process, as well as the story itself, right?
It’s like when Xiao Yan became a Dou Emperor…
If Potato wrote hundreds of thousands of words and then wrote: “Five years later, Xiao Yan became a Dou Emperor, the end.”
What would be left to read then? Haha.
I’ll try to speed up the pace.
