Chapter 597
Time flies, years go by. In a blink of an eye, the time has come to the end of the year 994 of the pioneering calendar. Quinir sat in the general control room of the White Tower of the Nine Rings, looking at the peaceful and prosperous scene of the Truth Island displayed by the monitoring circle, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Truth be told, the past year has not been easy. Whether it was the accident in the Demon Slayer Canyon at the beginning of the year, or after returning to the Nine-Ring White Tower, the cleansing and suppression of the Arcane Revival Society's forces presided over with Douglas were all major events related to the life of the family and the fate of the Nine-Ring White Tower. If you are not careful, you will never recover. In order to deal with these things and stabilize the situation, both Quinnier and Douglas put a lot of energy and put in a lot of energy. Even with the cultivation strength of the peak of the Quinir Legendary Rank, it was a little unbearable.
However, fortunately, with the prophetic information provided by Luo Sheng, a disciple of the 'Divine Stick', whether it was the changes in the Demon Slayer Canyon or the conspiracy of the Arcane Revival Society, it was not able to threaten Quinir's life in the end, nor did it cause fatal trauma to the Nine Rings White Tower. Instead, Quinnier and Douglas, who were prepared, took the lead and solved the hidden dangers inside the White Tower of the Nine Rings in a relatively perfect way.
So in the past few days, although there has been some turmoil within the Nine-Ring White Tower because of Anthony's 'expulsion', Talingsno's 'malfunction', and Bob's 'demotion', after Douglas came forward to stabilize the situation, calm has been restored, and the grassroots and middle-level forces have not suffered much loss, and the internal cohesion has been greatly improved, and the degree of organizational activity is much higher.
In terms of the external environment, although the Nine-Ring White Tower attacked Snoa, because of the existence of Anthony, an important bargaining chip, the Nine-Ring White Tower still reached some tacit understanding with the Arcane Revival Association in private. Except for Douglas and the mysterious leader of the Arcane Revival who was suspected of being the 'Regressive Light' Othello, the Nine Rings White Tower was not attacked too strongly by the Arcane Revival Society.
As for the contradictions between the Nine Rings White Pagoda and the Church of the Gods, the Human Kingdom Alliance, the Bright Church and other forces, they have also been alleviated to a certain extent after the Nine Rings White Pagoda stabilized its interior, and put on a posture of shrinking its forces and sticking to the Northland. After all, this is the critical season for the rise of the demon tide, and all parties are trying to strengthen their own strength and accumulate capital for future changes, and no one wants to easily fight a force that has given up on continuing to expand and is extremely powerful in itself. There is not much benefit if you win, and if you lose, you will never recover, and no one wants to do this kind of loss-making business.
There is a relatively gentle external environment, and the internal hidden dangers are cleared, and the development of the White Tower of the Nine Rings is quite rapid during this time. Not only did he quickly control the Northland countries that he swallowed some time ago, but he also began to use the resources of these places to feed back and accelerate the growth of the Nine Ring White Pagoda itself.
In just a few months, various research and production tasks, which were originally slow due to resource problems, began to advance rapidly after receiving sufficient resources, and these achievements were quickly transformed into the strength of the Nine Ring White Tower. Coupled with the scattered power gathered after the momentum, the basic strength of the Nine Ring White Tower has nearly doubled, and the high-level strength has also increased a lot. It can be said that except for the lack of Anthony, a top-level combat power who is expected to hit the immortal level, the other aspects of the Nine Rings White Tower are not only not weakened, but much stronger.
"Now that everything is going in a good direction, it's up to Douglas to see if he can pass the immortal level. "After using the power of the circle to amplify his perception and confirm the situation around the Island of Truth, Quinnir retracted his perception and set his sights on the location of Douglas's exclusive half-dimensional 'Arcane Starry Sky'.
Although the situation of the White Tower of the Nine Rings seems to be very good at the moment, Quinnir knows very well in his heart that this prosperity is not very stable. Internally, Terrence, who has a subtle connection to the Arcane Revival Society, is close to awakening, and the risk of civil strife in the White Tower of the Nine Rings has not completely disappeared. On the external side, the power of the Church of the Gods is rapidly recovering and improving, and after they have completed the accumulation of strength and distributed the existing benefits, they may not turn their attention to the Nine Rings White Pagoda again.
In this case, if the Nine Rings White Tower wants to keep the existing good situation, at least in the early stage of the Demon Tide, it must have a powerful hole card that is enough to deter the Quartet. And the only one who has the potential to become this kind of hole card at this stage is Douglas's promotion to the immortal rank. After all, only an immortal-level grand arcanist can suppress Tyrence, who may become a divisive factor, internally, and externally contend with the demigod-level incarnations of many gods, and maintain the status and interests of the Nine-Ring White Tower.
Therefore, after dealing with the affairs of the Arcane Revival Society, Douglas took some secret information traded from the Arcane Revival Society and began to retreat and practice, impacting the immortal rank. All the affairs of the Nine Rings White Tower were handed over to Kunnir to be responsible. And this is also the reason why Quinir sits in the White Tower of the Nine Rings and monitors all parts of the Island of Truth in real time.
"Let's hope everything goes well!" Quinnir sighed and withdrew his gaze after sensing the entrance to the 'Arcane Starry Sky' and seeing that there were no anomalous fluctuations.
Advancing to the Immortal Rank is almost the last hurdle for professionals. Once the promotion is successful, not only can you have the power to compete with the demigods, but you can also greatly extend your lifespan and continue to accumulate strength. Even if they don't follow the path of fusing divinity and igniting divine fire in the future, powerful immortal rank professionals can still continue to improve their strength, and eventually reach a level that is comparable to the gods.
However, it is precisely because the immortal rank is so powerful that the difficulty of promotion is also amazingly high. Historically, except for some special stages, where the number of Immortal Rank professionals would be slightly higher for special reasons, most of the other time, the Immortal Rank was a rare existence. Without enough talent, accumulation and chance, you can't step into this level at all.
So even if Douglas has already entered the immortal level half a step, Quinniel does not dare to guarantee that his old fellow will be able to be promoted smoothly, and when he thinks of this, he always has some faint worries.
"I don't know how Luo Sheng is now, I hope something else happens!" After retracting his gaze from Douglas, Quinnir thought of Luo Sheng, the disciple who changed the fate of the Nine Rings White Tower.
Half a year ago, when Ra Sheng activated the teleportation scroll, Douglas had sensed that Ra Sheng had left the dark region, but he was never able to find the location of Ra Sheng's breath. In the past six months, although Quinir has confirmed that Luo Sheng is still alive through the natural spirit that he gave to Luo Sheng at the beginning, he has no idea about Luo Sheng's state, and he is naturally worried about Luo Sheng in his heart.
"Hmm, this breath, Luo Sheng is back!"
