The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 477 Veto

After Gray Old Man, Frost Lord also decisively threw her Vermilion Bird Array Soul into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower.

This time it was very obvious that her Vermilion Bird array soul was indeed very different. It seemed that she had put a lot of effort into it, and it also seemed to have devoured and absorbed other array souls.

Anyway, the previous four array spirits combined didn't seem to be a match for Frost Lord's array spirit.

As expected, when the giant tower illusion was formed and then integrated, the resulting realism ratio was as high as 12%. For a time, the fiery red of the Vermilion Bird directly dominated the giant tower illusion.

Even if the combined proportion of the first four array spirits is 14%, it's still not enough.

Absolutely not. At this moment, even an outsider like Wang Wu could clearly see and sense how much control Frost Lord had over the Great Wilderness Prison Tower. It was an overwhelming display of domineering power.

No wonder she was so domineering before.

No way, could it be that on the previous battlefield, another Vermilion Bird Soul of the Hidden Origin Society was killed by the enemy, and then it was taken back by Frost Lord?
Only the fusion of two Vermilion Bird array souls could produce such a huge change.

At this moment, many people on the scene had complex and subtle expressions, but of course, they didn't show it too much.

Every one of them here is a powerful and influential old monster who has lived for thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Even Wang Wu is an ancient monster who has been around for thousands of years.

After a brief pause, several more people sent out their array souls, but without exception, they were all weaklings in front of Frost Lord, old and weak, and utterly vulnerable.

The highest percentage was only 4%, and the lowest was only 1.2%, and that was the one sent by the Black Emperor next to Wang Wu.

By this time, as many as 13 array spirits had been sent into the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower, with Frost Lord's Vermilion Bird array spirit still far ahead.

As you can see, the Vermilion Bird's spirit spreads its wings and sings in the illusion of the giant tower, soaring through the heavens and earth, invincible and unstoppable.

Not only did it suppress the other array spirits to behave properly, but some weaker array spirits were even at risk of being devoured, such as the pitiful array spirit of the Black Emperor.

At this moment, the two second-rank elders of the Hidden Origin Society in the front row looked at each other with calm eyes, seemingly confident.
One of the elders of the Hidden Origin Society casually tossed out a Azure Dragon Array Soul. This Azure Dragon Array Soul was completely different from the one Wang Wu had seen before. It seemed to have also completed its absorption and devouring. It was full of dragon essence and tiger ferocity, and its heavenly might was unpredictable. It could actually suppress Frost Lord's Vermilion Bird Array Symbol in every aspect.

Good heavens, this is also the fusion of two Azure Dragon Array Souls.

This is a grand undertaking; everything was planned out clearly from the very beginning.

Sure enough, once the Azure Dragon Array Soul entered the illusion of the giant tower, the situation changed instantly, stirring up the wind and clouds, the dragon soared through the nine heavens, leaping and bounding for thousands of miles, transforming the great cycle of heaven and earth.

In a short time, the situation was turned around, and some array spirits that were almost suppressed by the Vermilion Bird array spirit immediately turned to the Azure Dragon array spirit, as if they were willing to be absorbed and integrated.

In this way, the Azure Dragon Array Soul, which already occupied 13% of the market share, is now even more remarkable.

The Vermilion Bird's array spirit was even sealed off and squeezed into a corner.

Wang Wu, watching from below, was also anxious, for this was a power struggle.

Although the Great Wilderness Prison Tower was not refined into the Tower of Suppressing Yuan, it was actually very close. It was equivalent to the foundation of the Hidden Yuan Society and was a national treasure.

Whoever has more control over it has more authority.

Moreover, this is not a political game among the middle-level members of the Hidden Origin Society, but a game among the upper levels.

The seven Hidden Origin Elders will determine who will be responsible for what position during their term of office.

Who will be the class monitor? Who will be the academic representative? Who will be the sports representative? Who will be the subject representative? This is where the real test will be.

However, only fourteen array souls have been deployed so far. Considering that one Azure Dragon and one Vermilion Bird have been fused together, there should be two more array souls remaining.

Oh, the big boss, the one who's bringing up the finale, is here.

The next second, a phoenix array spirit was cast into it.

Good heavens, he was radiant and commanded the entire audience.

With just one investment, it was able to achieve a tie with the Azure Dragon Soul Formation, and its market share was as high as about 13%.

At this moment, some of the array spirits that had not previously joined the Azure Dragon array spirits quickly moved closer.

This created a three-way situation.

The Azure Dragon Array Soul pulled six array souls, occupying 30% of the share; the Phoenix Array Soul pulled six array souls, occupying 31% of the share; and with Frost Lord's Vermilion Bird Array Soul, the share was 12%.

This is the result of the Hidden Origin Society's massive investment and all-out attack: a total control share of 73%.

Overall, it's actually not bad; it's acceptable.

From an individual perspective, especially from Wang Wu's perspective, well, aren't you just taking advantage of the fact that there's no one left in my Frost Domain?

Frost Lord's Vermilion Bird Formation Soul was completely suppressed, and no one knew how it was calculated or what the mystery was.

With the Azure Dragon and Phoenix Array Souls suppressing it, the Vermilion Bird Array Soul only had 6% of its authority left, while the remaining 6% was falsely occupied by the other two.

This doesn't make any sense at all!
Wang Wu wanted to curse, and even considered taking out his Vermilion Bird Formation Soul and throwing it in as well.

However, as soon as this thought crossed his mind, Shuangjun, as if he could read his mind, immediately turned his head and swept his imposing gaze over him.

Wang Wu understood immediately.

Stay put!

Okay, why is that?

Wang Wu immediately backed down. Even without the Vermilion Bird Array Soul, Frost Lord was still such a terrifying demon king.

Next, the elder of the Hidden Origin Society who possessed the Phoenix Array Soul stood up, his gaze sweeping across the entire hall. The hall was utterly silent, as if some agenda had been completed, and he, having secured the largest share, had become the ultimate victor. Then, the old man who possessed the Azure Dragon Array Soul stood up, followed by Frost Lord.

At this moment, high above in the heavens, at the top of what should be another Zhenyuan Tower, a vast and ancient voice echoed down.

"Duanmu Cheng, you have made a contribution to the repair of the Great Wilderness Prison Tower. You should be appointed as the chief elder of the Hidden Origin Elder Council. You can cast three votes on any major decision and have the right to veto every ten thousand years."

“Feng Rushan, as the second elder of the Yinyuan Elder Council, you are entitled to three votes, and you have the right to veto every 20,000 years.”

"Frosty Red Leaf, as a third-seat elder of the Hidden Origin Elder Council, you are entitled to three votes, and every 30,000 years you have the right to veto."

"The remaining four are attending elders and may cast one vote each."

"This appointment is valid for 100,000 years."

As soon as he finished speaking, the fifteen array souls within the phantom tower were taken away by an unknown force, meaning that control had been taken away.

Everyone else remained unchanged, but Shuangjun suddenly swayed, her face paling slightly, clearly indicating that she had suffered a serious injury.

Why is this?

Wait a minute, could it be that Frost Lord was injured because he had cultivated the Vermilion Bird Array Soul to a certain level, and that's why he was injured after the Vermilion Bird Array Soul was taken away?

On the contrary, others did not work as hard as she did.

Since everyone knew the consequences and the outcome from the beginning, they naturally wouldn't put in their best effort to cultivate.

However, it seems that Frost Lord had no choice.

So what if she's entered the Hidden Origin Elder Council? Clearly, only the top three have truly significant authority, and that's exactly what she's vying for—the top three.

Look at the Black Emperor, now he sits in the same row as Wang Wu.

Look at Elder Gray, he's now just Elder Feng's puppet, while Frost Lord has at least secured three elder seats.

Three voting rights, one veto power every 30,000 years – this is a powerful weapon that can truly determine the future direction of the massive Hidden Origin Society.

At this moment, three mysterious jade talismans fell from the clouds above, landing in the hands of Duanmu Cheng, Feng Rushan, and Shuang Jun respectively. With these jade talismans in hand, everyone felt a terrifying and indescribable sealing aura, which seemed capable of sealing and annihilating any existence.

Is this what they call a veto?

It seems that with this item, apart from second-rank elders who cannot be killed, all other third-rank elders can be instantly killed.

Completely unreasonable, yet very reasonable.

At this moment, Wang Wu didn't dare to breathe loudly, and neither did everyone else, including the Black Emperor beside him.

The atmosphere only eased after Duanmu Cheng, Feng Rushan, and Shuang Jun put away the jade talisman that had vetoed the vote.

At this moment, Duanmu Cheng spoke again.

"I propose a motion to restart this Great Wilderness Prison Tower to enforce the Reincarnation Law, with all profits going to the public. Vote now."

As soon as he finished speaking, all seven second-rank elders of the Hidden Origin Society, including Shuang Jun, agreed.

There is no dispute.

At this point, Duanmu Cheng took out a Void Seal and pressed it against the Great Wilderness Prison Tower in the very center.

In an instant, an extremely powerful yin and yang energy descended from the sky, piercing through the Great Wilderness Prison Tower.

Immediately afterwards, the Yin and Yang energies at the core of the Great Wilderness Prison Tower began to change intensely.

Then you'll see that the entire inner world of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower begins to be overturned, reshuffled, and everything returns to zero.

Wang Wu seemed to understand something; this was the clearing out.

At this moment, he even saw some creatures still lurking in the Great Wilderness Prison Tower, and there were quite a lot of them.

Among them were ancient trees hidden deep within, iron spirits, human cultivators, ancient demons, and even a familiar face.

That Jade Bee Immortal is still alive and living comfortably in his Jade Bee Palace. It's hard to imagine how they survived the ravages of the Three Calamities.

In total, tens of thousands of powerful beings were eliminated in one go, including even some Taiyi True Immortals.

Without a doubt, these are all ancient criminals who were previously hidden away.

They sensed something was wrong and tried to escape. To be fair, they were quite strong, but with this plan, none of them could escape.

Wang Wu was very curious: why didn't they run away before?

Is it being overlooked, or is the person in seclusion?
Especially Jade Bee Immortal, it didn't even try to escape, which just shows how amazing its idea was.

Soon, a mysterious net appeared. It seemed to be formed from the power of the Great Wilderness Sin Prison Tower itself. All the creatures that were cleared out were intercepted without exception. This net was quite intelligent and appeared at an extremely fast speed and with a tricky angle, intercepting them one by one.

Then, they were packed up and thrown into the brand-new prison tower, skipping the interrogation process, so there was no possibility of any wrongful convictions.

As for the so-called reincarnation, it means that prisoners and their descendants can only live for a maximum of 5000 years before they are forced to ascend to heaven.

After ascension, the physical body is destroyed, and the spiritual energy returns, which is called reincarnation.

In fact, every single one of the hidden creatures that escaped this wave was immediately subjected to the Reincarnation Act, their physical bodies turning to dust and their spiritual energy being scattered like spring rain.

Throughout the entire process, Wang Wu could only watch quietly. Then he suddenly felt that they, including himself, were like immortals standing on the clouds, looking down on all living beings.
