2733 Four Beasts Territory’s Conflict!
The moment Lin Yuan was done speaking, he saw the Moon Empress stride over to him before enveloping him in a bear hug!
This was not to say that Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress were on bad terms, but the Moon Empress rarely showed her emotions so outwardly. Normally, she would just adjust his collar or pat his shoulder.
From how unrestrained she was in expressing her emotions now, Lin Yuan knew that she had been worried sick about him!
Lin Yuan gently reached his arm around her back and patted it. “Master, it’s all over!”
The Moon Empress only released Lin Yuan after a beat had passed.
She looked him up and down. It was only when she was certain that he was completely fine that she said solemnly, “Little Yuan, from now on, even if I can’t be of help in whatever you’re doing, you cannot wait until the last second to update me! Even if I can’t help you, I can share your burden!”
The Moon Empress was being extremely sincere.
When the dead spirits crisis began, the Moon Empress experienced helplessness for the first time. This helplessness made her aware that there was no end to increasing one’s power!
In her youth, she was accustomed to doing her best. But after she became a Class 5 Creation Master and subsequently a member of the Radiance Federation’s royalty, she stood at the top of the world and undoubtedly slowed down her increment of power. From then on, she stopped focusing her energy on increasing her power.
She only redirected her focus back to increasing her power when she was injured during her battle with the Freedom Federation’s royalty, and it became imperative that she achieve a breakthrough in order to extend her lifespan!
In the past, the Moon Empress believed she had come upon this realization far too late.
But as she thought about how Lin Yuan had taken each step on his journey of growth, the Moon Empress felt that being able to come to this realization, regardless of timing, was a blessing!
Firstly, she now had an endless lifespan, so her previous delay would not have any impact on her increasing her power in the future.
Moreover, she had obtained a large leg up from Lin Yuan in terms of increasing her power. He had provided her with treasures that she could not produce on her own despite being a Class 6 Creation Master. It was through the resources she obtained from him that the Moon Empress had been able to make progress in advancing her level.
When Lin Yuan heard this, it became one of the rare moments that he found himself disagreeing with what the Moon Empress said.
Lin Yuan shook his head gently at the Moon Empress.
“Master, I have already increased my power. In the past, you had to shelter me from everything and shoulder all the pressure on your own. Now, it’s my turn to protect you! Rest assured, I won’t allow you to fall into peril so easily. I won’t make you this afraid and worried again!”
Lin Yuan spoke earnestly.
To him, there was no senior he felt closer to than the Moon Empress. She was as important to him as Chu Ci was.
Although Morbius and his own special characteristics could be credited for his growth thus far, the Moon Empress’ involvement had been instrumental as well.
Without the Moon Empress, it was likely that he would have been killed by Cheng Wu.
“Little Yuan, you have already grown up. You are now my shelter and the protector of the main world. But don’t forget that nothing is more important than your safety!”
From Lin Yuan’s words, the Moon Empress felt cared for and looked after. These feelings were both amazing and warming to the Moon Empress.
Mystic Moon was very happy for the Moon Empress when he heard what Lin Yuan said.
He could not help but think of Wen Yu.
Wen Yu’s growth had also far surpassed Mystic Moon’s expectations.
After thinking for a moment, Mystic Moon walked out of the inner palace so he could leave the space to Lin Yuan and the Moon Empress.
All this time, Spring had been watching from the shadows to ensure Lin Yuan’s safety.
She was both thankful and respectful toward the Moon Empress.
She was grateful for the help that the Moon Empress had given Lin Yuan. In a way, it could be said that the Moon Empress had sped up the Saint’s awakening.
Moreover, teachers were respected figures in both the main world and Sky Beyond the Clouds. The Moon Empress would carry the title of ‘Saint’s Teacher’ for the entire life. The title would make her the most venerated figure in the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds.
Once the Moon Empress was certain that Lin Yuan was in perfect health, she began to ask him for details.
“Little Yuan, tell me about the current circumstances in detail. This will make it easier for me to issue orders accordingly.”
Lin Yuan said seriously, “Master, I have killed all the real Eight Pages of Tower Canon. I will be staying in the Radiance Federation for a few days before leaving on a long trip. When I next return to the Radiance Federation, I will organize and collect the resources left by Tower Canon.
“We can safely say that the threat to the main world posed by the Eight Pages of Tower Canon has been fully eliminated. It’s true that the dead spirits crisis persists, but I will send the demon insects to handle it.
“Once the demon insects are done, the dead spirits crisis will no longer have any impact on the lifeforms in the main world. Based on the current quantity of demon insects, there are enough of them to effectively stop the dead dimensional lifeforms from breaching the surface.
“Although there is still death aura in the ley lines, the humans living on the surface will be able to return to the lifestyle they led before the dead spirits crisis broke out.”
Lin Yuan’s words allowed the Moon Empress to gain a complete understanding of the current situation.
For the regular people, the dead spirits crisis had been concluded.
The demon insects’ handling and elimination of the dead spirits would be subsequently carried out in the depths of the underground.
The shift in circumstances caused the Moon Empress to be hit by a wave of realization. From its onset until today, the dead spirits crisis had only been going on for two months.
The Moon Empress had braced herself to lead the Radiance Federation in tackling the dead spirits for a few thousand years. She never expected the dead spirits crisis to be fully suppressed almost immediately after it began!
The Moon Empress remained silent for a moment before asking, “How long will it take the demon insects to clear out the death aura from the ley lines?”
There was no need for Lin Yuan to hide anything from the Moon Empress.
His identity as the Saint would not be confirmed beyond a shadow of a doubt until he went to Epoch God Palace and the Returning Saint Pool enlightened his birth horoscope.
“Master, it will take the demon insects around 200 years to fully treat the environment underground. However, using the demon insects to clear out death aura from the ley lines will leave an impact on the ley lines. Any damage to the ley lines will also be damage to the main world’s potential.
“Luckily, I have a way to clear out death aura from the ley lines without damaging it in any way. If everything goes well, my plan will be complete within two years.”
The Moon Empress was astonished to hear that.
Clearing the death aura was no small feat! The Moon Empress could have never imagined that the death aura could be fully cleared out from the ley lines within two years.
The Moon Empress did not ask Lin Yuan what his methods were. Since Lin Yuan had said it, it meant that his plan was definitely viable!
The Moon Empress still wanted to use the dead dimensional world to train the humans and sea clans. She told Lin Yuan about her thoughts.
Lin Yuan found her idea to be achievable. It was true that using the dead dimensional lifeforms to train the main world’s lifeforms would substantially increase the combat power of the main world’s lifeforms.
At that moment, Spring’s voice appeared in Lin Yuan’s ear, “Lord Saint, Summer will direct the death aura to the vicinity of the Startling Lines Continent. If the crystals formed from the death aura are buried, they will create an area conducive for the dead dimensional lifeforms’ survival.
“It will be easy to create such a training ground. You can extract a portion of the dead world’s roots and inject it into this area to create a territory of death. With the support from the root power, various types of dead dimensional lifeforms can be produced!
“This territory of death can be created both on land and in water to suit your needs. If you intend to create this territory of death, I will send the servants from Epoch God Palace’s Spring Palace to handle this matter.”
Once again, Lin Yuan felt the deep respect and sincerity that Spring held for him.
She was very willing to help him to solve all the problems he encountered.
This behavior meant that Spring had no doubt that he was the Saint!
Since Spring had a very good method to solve his issue, Lin Yuan did not have to come up with a solution on his own.
Instead, he shared Spring’s plan with the Moon Empress.
All the Moon Empress needed to do was to create the territory of death.
Setting up territories of death around the main world would become prime training grounds for the humans, sea clans, and dimensional lifeforms!
Lin Yuan’s mind was not focused on the main world.
The Heavenly Family Cottage and Vast Sea Labyrinth represented the top power of feys. He needed to tell them that Tower Canon had been destroyed.
However, it would be better for the Moon Empress to handle the follow-up tasks.
“Master, I have some things to do back in the Radiance Federation, but I won’t be staying for too long. Before I leave, I will give you a large batch of resources that you can use to develop the Radiance Federation.”
The Moon Empress nodded.
The Moon Empress really wanted Lin Yuan to stay in the Radiant Moon Palace so they could have dinner together. However, Lin Yuan was not the only one who did not have time. The Moon Empress also did not have time to spare.
The Moon Empress was much busier than Lin Yuan.
Half an hour later, she would have to head to the Radiance Federation’s imperial court to deliver this good news.
The main world had indeed entered the sixth epoch, but it was not as filled with hardship as they had anticipated. The initial struggles were about to be gone.
In the future, the bitter struggles would turn into sweet fruits that would nourish the entire main world.
During this half an hour, Lin Yuan told the Moon Empress in detail about what had happened in the past two days, as well as his plans for the main world.
…
When the Moon Empress left for the Radiance Federation’s imperial court, Lin Yuan went to a manor in the north district of the Royal Capital. This manor housed all the spirit qi professionals who were waiting for Lin Yuan to help them with their feys’ breakthroughs.
When Lin Yuan arrived at the manor, he realized that there were far more spirit qi professionals than he had expected!
When a large group of people gathered together, friction was inevitable. This was especially so because these people all came from different factions.
The first thing to greet Lin Yuan was exactly a violent fight.
Seven spirit qi professionals had split into three teams and were fighting each other.
Two of their feys could already change into human form.
This fight between emperor-class experts was being watched by many spirit qi professionals in the manor.
One of them was a burly middle-aged man dressed lavishly, and he bellowed, “Spirit Snake Ravine has gone too far! Don’t assume that you can occupy the four manors just because you have some connections to Coiling Dragon’s Valley! Those four manors have the best positions. Spirit Snake Ravine can only take two of them at the very most. You must hand over the rest!”
Once the burly man was done speaking, an elderly woman dressed in a purple robe said angrily, “Four Beasts Territory is much more overbearing! Not only have you taken over our residence, but you are also trying to steal Spirit Snake Ravine’s residence!
“The residences were specially allocated when we first arrived here. You were given four rooms as well. Everyone knows that the resources are allocated based on the number of rooms. The person in charge of allocating the rooms didn’t allow us to fight amongst each other! Today, we will take back the rooms you stole from us!”
Once this elderly lady was done speaking, the elderly man who represented Spirit Snake Ravine snapped, “What do you mean Spirit Snake Ravine is being overbearing? You need to get one thing right. Four Beasts Territory is the one who first started looking for trouble. Even if we end up brawling, we will never release even a single room to you!
“It’s true that Spirit Snake Ravine works with Coiling Dragon’s Valley, but there are only business ties between us. We are not affiliated with Coiling Dragon’s Valley. Aside from Coiling Dragon’s Valley, we are working with other factions as well.
“Gao Huan, restrain yourself! Don’t forget the reason that we’re all gathered here! If Four Beasts Territory continues to cause trouble, you will definitely be punished!”
The burly middle-aged man scoffed.
“Four Beasts Territory isn’t the only one fighting over the rooms. Don’t you know that there are many factions fighting over the rooms as well? Shouldn’t the factions who are most frequently fighting over the rooms be the ones who receive punishment instead?”
At first, Lin Yuan thought that Four Beasts Territory had started the conflict.
Four Beasts Territory had almost been wiped out by Whale Ocean Commerce and had been left with less than 1/5 of their initial number of experts. Although they had the help of allies, they had already fallen out of the ranks of the top factions.
If Four Beasts Territory was trying to fight for resources, they must want to restore their status as a top faction!
However, if Four Beasts Territory was the only faction that was causing trouble, Lin Yuan would definitely punish them harshly.
But based on what the members of the other factions said, Lin Yuan realized that fighting over the rooms happened frequently in this manor.
Anger bubbled within Lin Yuan.
If his memory was accurate, this manor was being managed by Cultivated Garden.
