Atop Hundred Refinement Peak, Alkaid flipped through a substantial stack of documents in his hand.
"Ten Great Immortal Paths, Six Sects of the Demonic Dao, Six Buddhist Temples, Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, Three Immortal Martial Sects, Ancestors Divine of the Ten Directions, Four Great Immortal Dynasties..."
These were the famed and established inheritances of the Northern Sea Star.
Unlike those forces led by a Dao Lord with a few disciples, each of these factions had tens of thousands of disciples, occupied a territory, and were of vast scale.
Heavenly Dao Sect was one of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, yet it was not the most powerful one.
The most formidable, the Three Pure Sanctuaries, had three Dao Lords in the same period.
Based on the calculation of thirteen Shattered Void in Heavenly Dao Sect, it was estimated that there would be over thirty Shattered Void under them.
It was the same with the Six Sects of the Demonic Path.
The Yin Moon Sect—which bordered Heavenly Dao Sect and Taiyi Immortal Sect—could put up a fight against Heavenly Dao Sect, and the number of Shattered Void Realm Supreme Elders in their sect was definitely more than ten.
Well, whether they could maintain that number after the death of both the Eight Desolations Demon Lord and the Dark Demon Lord was another question.
However, a characteristic of Demon Cultivators was their fast cultivation pace before Integrate Dao, although the chance of achieving it was extremely slim.
It was conceivable that the number of Shattered Void Demon Cultivators in Yin Moon Sect would still exceed ten.
If just the Yin Moon Sect was like this, combining all six sects of the Demonic Dao, gathering one hundred and eighty Shattered Void Demon Cultivators would not be difficult.
As for the remaining Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, there would only be more Shattered Void Demon Emperors, definitely reaching triple digits.
Besides, there were also the Divine Race and various other small forces and foreign powers...
"Gathering fifteen to twenty Demon Hunter targets won't be difficult, as long as..."
He glanced at the Limitless Sword, which was beginning to take shape.
"I am strong enough."
...
"Sect Leader."
The voice of Wan Liugui came from outside the Formation.
As Alkaid opened the Formation, the Hollow Void War Immortal stepped in and presented a set of documents: "These are all the properties of the Lu Family and the Li Family in the Southern Capital, as well as in the Southern Region. They have all been sent over as congratulatory gifts for your ascension as the master of the Southern Region, in addition, they have also handed over the industries of Mystic Profound Spirit Fluid and Longevity Fruit."
"Hmm."
Alkaid responded.
These two families were quite discerning indeed.
They had essentially offered up all the assets they had built up in the Southern Region over hundreds of years as a "peace offering" gift.
"Hand the industries of the Mystic Profound Spirit Fluid and Longevity Fruit over to Ling Family and Chi Family to manage."
Alkaid decided the future of the two families with a single comment.
"Yes, I will notify them to come over immediately."
Wan Liugui said, feeling somewhat envious in his heart.
With these two industries as their foundation, these two families would have an annual income of at least tens of millions of Pure Yang Great Pills.
With such earnings, supporting ten or eight Hollow Void would be no problem.
If these two families could manage to keep up these industries, wait a few thousand years, their households would certainly give birth to one Hollow Void after another. The moment a particularly talented genius of the younger generation emerged, reaching Void Refinement would be settled.
Of course, progressing from Void Refinement to Shattered Void required a large investment of resources, and this resource point alone would be somewhat insufficient.
But as long as they could continue to develop in the Southern Region, with the flourishing progress of the Southern Region, their profits would also rise, eventually reaching the day when their earnings would be high enough to truly have the capacity to nurture a Void Refinement into a Shattered Void.
"Also, please ask Wu Changfeng to come over."
"Understood."
Wan Liugui withdrew.
Soon after, Wu Changfeng had arrived at Hundred Refinement Peak ahead of Chi Yu and Ling Ruogu.
"Sect Leader."
"Hmm."
Alkaid handed a Jade Talisman to Wu Changfeng.
Wu Changfeng glanced at it and quickly realized something: "This is the Surveillance Station system developed by the Guardian Mo Ye, right? Although it's not very sophisticated and requires quite a bit of cost, it's advantageous due to its high fault tolerance."
"That's right."
Alkaid nodded.
Wu Changfeng was indeed very familiar with the affairs of the Southern Region.
He then took out a piece of jade and said, "Now look at this."
Wu Changfeng sent out his Divine Sense.
This time, in just a moment, his expression turned to one of astonishment: "An upgraded version of Mo Ye's Surveillance Station system? No! There's a significant difference between the two. Mo Ye's system relies on the advantage of numbers to monitor the surroundings, but with us and Yin Moon Sect bordering four states, the scope we need to monitor is too vast. To fully supervise it would require an enormous investment of manpower and resources, but this system of yours..."
He looked at Alkaid: "has greatly improved the efficiency of the system, reduced the time it takes for construction, and increased precision by a hundredfold... Even Shattered Void concealing their presence can't hide. As long as they are living creatures... If I'm not mistaken, the core of this system comes from a Soul-type Dao Technique?"
"Correct, I have used a Perception-type Dao Technique called True Spirit's Light as the system's core. Moreover, based on one of my talents, I have developed it," Alkaid explained. "With a talent called 'Supreme Spirit Master,' I can sense each Spiritual Artifact and infuse these artifacts into the Surveillance Stations, creating Perception points. Then, using a Soul-type Dao Artifact as an intermediary, I radiate the Dao Technique known as 'True Spirit's Light' throughout the entire border."

"This... I'm afraid it would require a large number of Spiritual Artifacts, which is a drain on financial resources... And each surveillance station needs people for maintenance... which is a drain on manpower..."
Wu Changfeng said after careful consideration.
"Consider it as creating job opportunities."
Alkaid said with a smile, "As for financial resources... I'm not short of money right now, what I want is to turn the Southern Region into a truly safe place."
"The Southern Region!?"
Wu Changfeng felt a shock in his heart.
"Yes, to ensure that once anyone enters the Southern Region, if they make a mistake, we can root them out at the first opportunity and punish them severely. Over time, naturally, no one will dare to do evil in the Southern Region anymore."
Alkaid continued, then added another statement: "Of course, we have to start with the four border states to test the waters, before expanding it to the entire Southern Region."
Wu Changfeng sucked in a breath of air.
If Alkaid's plan could truly be implemented, the entire Southern Region would undoubtedly become the safest place in the Northern Sea Star.
And for the chaotic Northern Sea Star, a place of unparalleled safety...
Would almost become everyone's ideal paradise, attracting an endless stream of Cultivators to settle down.
The arrival of these Cultivators would bring manpower, wealth, and technology.
In time, one can hardly imagine to what extent the Southern Region could develop.
"Therefore, I plan to send you to the four border states, carrying a batch of Spiritual Artifacts, responsible for establishing the most basic surveillance stations."
Alkaid spoke and added: "Being close to the border is inherently dangerous, especially since we have just annihilated two Shattered Void Realm Demon Lords and a Void Refinement Realm Peak Master from the Yin Moon Sect. This task can only be entrusted to you."
"Thank Sect Leader for your trust, I will do my utmost to establish this surveillance system as quickly as possible."
"Good."
Alkaid nodded, "First set up the surveillance stations at the border. Later, I will send you the Dao Artifacts which will serve as the network hub."
With that, he took out a Storage Treasure: "Here is the first batch of Spiritual Artifacts."
Wu Changfeng solemnly accepted these Spiritual Artifacts.
After a moment, he seemed to think of something: "Sect Leader, does our surveillance system have a name?"
"The original intention of our system is to correct any Demon Cultivators infiltrating our Southern Region. It will also become a means to apprehend those Cultivators committing crimes in the Southern Region. We strive for a monitoring network that is vast but leaves no room for escape... Therefore, let's call it the Heaven Net System."
Alkaid said.
"Heaven Net."
Wu Changfeng nodded emphatically, bowed, and with the treasures, turned to leave.
After Wu Changfeng left, Alkaid began to think about the potential flaws of the "Heaven Net System."
His "Master of Myriad Spirits" talent gave him the ability to sense the Spiritual Artifacts he refined remotely— every Spiritual Artifact is an extension of his "vision." Moreover, he also cultivated the "True Spirit's Light," a soul perception-type Dao Technique...
The core of the Heaven Net System lies in the use of this talent and True Spirit's Light to make every surveillance station an observation base, with the observation method being the True Spirit's Light Dao Technique.
However, the power of the True Spirit's Light observed through the "Master of Myriad Spirits" is limited, so he needed to refine a Dao Artifact that resonated with True Spirit's Light to increase the power.
Then, when networked, it would allow monitoring over a large area.
Furthermore, the Artifact Spirit of the Dao Artifact can take on a part of the "warning" function, sparing him from always having to keep watch through the "Master of Myriad Spirits."
As the system develops further, basically, with one Hollow Void and one Dao Artifact, several states could be monitored.
Ten or eight Dao Artifacts, coupled with millions of Spiritual Artifacts, would be enough to carry out the layout for the entire Southern Region, bringing it under surveillance.
Such costs would be unacceptable to others, but to him, they are trivial.
Safety and stability are more important than financial input.
"When conditions are ripe in the future, instructions will be issued for anyone born in the Southern Region, or wanting to enter the Southern Region, to leave behind a spirit fluctuation. The monitoring of the Heaven Net System will then be even more complete, able to track any being living within the Southern Region in real-time."
Alkaid knew that this method would cause dissatisfaction among many.
Cultivation is a very personal matter, and many people are extremely concerned about their privacy.
At that time, it would depend on people's choices.
He only needed to ensure that he had enough power to carry out his will.
Not long after, Chi Yu and Ling Ruogu from the Hundred Refinement Peak arrived.
When they learned that Alkaid intended to hand over the industries of Mystic Profound Spirit Fluid and Longevity Fruit to them, they were naturally ecstatic.
Following that, Alkaid began to make arrangements for the duties of others.
At the same time, he distributed a large number of exchanged Elixirs to various Cultivators of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, ensuring that their cultivation could continue to progress rapidly.
Even though their talents might not be outstanding in the Northern Sea Star, a good environment could grant them a high success rate.
Just like the difference between students living in a rural village and those in the capital city of a country, the distinction in environment could easily bridge any gaps in intelligence.
One month later, Alkaid had completed all his instructions.
The turmoil of annihilating the two great Shattered Void Realm and five Void Refinement Realm Demon Cultivators from the Yin Moon Sect gradually came to an end.
And Alkaid also invested his remaining energy into refining the Heavenly Demon Origin.
From time to time, he would also enhance the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, while also nurturing the Limitless Sword.
Under such circumstances, fifteen years flew by in a blink.
