Chapter 2757 Releasing the Imprisoned Ascended Cultivators
Within Jiuyuan City, the storm of the joint statement is sweeping in all directions, and the spies of the ascending forces lurking within Jiuyuan City received the news immediately.
"What's going on? They're actually going to release the captured ascended cultivators!"
"true or false?"
"If it's true, that's great! Send the message back immediately!"
Soon, a cultivator at the Void Refinement stage was teleported into the underground cave again, and the three clones sitting in the underground cave opened their eyes and looked at this person again.
"Why are you back so soon?" the elderly man in the center asked.
"Reporting to Senior Yi, the major powers have just issued a joint statement announcing the release of the ascended cultivators they have captured." The Void Refinement stage cultivator quickly relayed the contents of the joint statement.
"What? They're going to release them?"
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Is the news reliable?"
The three clones all wore expressions of shock. They knew very well how many ascended cultivators were currently under the control of the human race's native forces in the Spirit Realm. The ascended forces had organized many rescue attempts, but all had been unsuccessful.
That's why they're so excited now that they've heard the other side is going to release the Ascended Ones.
"I don't know if the news is true or false. This is a joint statement they just released. We'll have to wait for further information to find out the specifics."
"Do you know why?" the old man in the middle asked.
"This junior does not know," the Void Refinement stage cultivator shook his head.
"Alright, go back immediately and continue to monitor the situation. Once the major powers release the imprisoned ascended cultivators, inform us immediately."
"Also, investigate the reasons why the major powers did this, and investigate whether this is a trap set by the major powers. Alright, go."
"Yes, sir!" The cultivator in the Void Refinement stage bowed respectfully and then teleported away.
The three avatars inside the cave had somewhat complicated expressions. The elderly man surnamed Yi in the center frowned and asked, "Fellow Daoist Hong, Fellow Daoist Mo, what do you think of this matter?"
The red-haired cultivator surnamed Hong frowned and said, "This matter is strange in every way. First, those guys issued a statement that they would no longer target us ascended cultivators, and now they want to release all the imprisoned ascended cultivators. Such actions are completely incomprehensible."
The cultivator surnamed Mo nodded solemnly and said, "Yes, we have incurred their wrath quite a bit. Under normal circumstances, they would never give up their pursuit of us. These imprisoned cultivators are also of great benefit to them. It is highly unusual that they are willing to give up this benefit and release these imprisoned ascended cultivators."
"I can't understand why they would do this. Releasing imprisoned ascended cultivators is like releasing a tiger back into the mountains. Moreover, these ascended cultivators they imprisoned harbor even stronger hatred for them. Making such an abnormal move is really incomprehensible."
The cultivator surnamed Yi nodded and said, "If it were me, I would rather kill these imprisoned ascended cultivators than release them."
"What should I do now?"
"Let's send the message back first. Before the situation becomes clear, we shouldn't act rashly. We should continue to observe the movements of the major forces and wait for the investigation results."
"Okay, let's do it."
Within the human-controlled area of the Spirit Realm, the news was spreading rapidly, and all major forces immediately relayed their orders back.
In the northern part of the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom lies an extremely cold ice field. This ice field is shrouded in terrifying cold air all year round, and ordinary creatures will freeze to death if they approach the edge of the ice field.
Even cultivators who enter the extreme cold ice plains will be gradually eroded by the cold poison. At most, a Qi Refining stage cultivator can only last for a month on the extreme cold ice plains.
Foundation Establishment cultivators can only last for a maximum of six months, Golden Core cultivators for two years, and Nascent Soul cultivators for five years.
If one does not promptly withdraw from the extreme cold ice field to refine the cold poison within their body when the time comes, their vital energy will be severely damaged, and their cultivation foundation will be destroyed.
Deep within the frigid ice plains lie precious spiritual minerals. At this moment, in a massive mine pit, countless cultivators, each with restrictions placed upon them, are mining these spiritual minerals.
Aside from their status as cultivators, these cultivators were just as wretched as miners. Their clothes were tattered, their faces were pale, and their breaths were weak. All of them had suffered severe damage to their vital energy, and some low-level cultivators lay on the ground and gradually died while working.
The Qingtian Immortal Kingdom cultivators in charge of overseeing the mining area completely ignored the dead cultivators, believing that these cultivators had already contributed enough value.
Suddenly, a powerful aura descended, and a cultivator in the early stage of the Integration Realm descended from the sky, passing directly through the barrier above the mining area and appearing above the mining area.
The powerful aura of the Nascent Soul stage cultivator enveloped the entire mining area, and for a moment, countless cultivators below looked up at the sky.
The miners looked at the Nascent Soul stage cultivator dressed in the royal robes of the Azure Sky Immortal Kingdom, their eyes flashing with intense hatred. They knew who the culprit was who had brought them to this state.
The Qingtian Immortal Kingdom cultivators responsible for overseeing the mining area hurriedly flew up and respectfully bowed to the Nascent Soul stage cultivator: "Greetings, Special Envoy!"
"Ah."
The Nascent Soul cultivator simply responded with a faint sound, then waved his right hand, and a golden token appeared in the air. His voice continued, "By order of the Immortal Kingdom, all ascended cultivators shall be released immediately, all restrictions on ascended cultivators shall be lifted, and no further action shall be taken against ascended cultivators."
"What? Release ascended cultivators?"
"Your Excellency, why is this?"
"If we release them, who will run the mines in the future?"
"Yes, Your Excellency, is there some mistake somewhere?"
The group of cultivators guarding the mining area were completely dumbfounded when they heard this order.
The ascended cultivators imprisoned in the mine below were momentarily stunned upon hearing this order; the happiness had come too suddenly, catching them off guard.
"Hmph, this is an order from the Immortal Kingdom. Why should I explain it to you? Execute it immediately! I still need to relay orders to other mining areas. Anyone who dares to delay the order and ruin the Immortal Kingdom's important affairs will be executed without mercy!"
The Nascent Soul stage expert snorted coldly, glanced at the cultivators guarding the mine, and then transformed into a streak of light, rushing out of the barrier.
The several Void Refinement stage cultivators guarding the mining area looked at each other blankly.
"What should we do?" someone asked.
"What else can we do? Just carry it out. Do you want to disobey orders?" The other person waved his hand helplessly.
"Alright, since it's an order from above, let's do it this way. Let's work together to remove the restrictions from these people's bodies." Another person waved his hand and then flew towards the mining area.
Soon, the group of cultivators guarding the mining area removed the restrictions from all the imprisoned ascendants and also removed the barrier surrounding the mining area before retreating to a distance.
