Chapter 362: Chapter 272: Great Wind and Cloud Banner, Xuyi’s Arrival
Wang Yi silently took note, though he wasn’t interested in looking into this "Yun Rou" at the moment. He proceeded to open the second Five-Color Blind Box, which presented only four options.
====
One: Vast Sea Pearl (Five-Colored, Enhance +1)
Two: Clown’s Mask (Five-Colored, Enhance +2)
Three: Lionheart King’s Reclassification Certificate (Five-Colored, Enhance +3)
Four: Divine Refiner’s Reclassification Certificate (Five-Colored, Enhance +4)
====
Wang Yi chose the [Divine Refiner’s Reclassification Certificate]. He checked its information and discovered that the Divine Refiner was a Cultivation Profession specializing in Artifact Refining. As its level increased, one could obtain the refining methods for various Magical Treasures and even invent new ones!
The Enhance +4 version was even stronger; upon leveling up, it granted eight times the number of Magical Treasure refining recipes.
’Artifact Refining? I can use this to develop the Players in my territory. It wouldn’t be bad if the second Sect Leader of the Refining Profound Sect was a Divine Refiner. I’ll see who’s most suitable to train later on. If no promising Players step up, I’ll just have Yuan Yao or Liu Qin become the Divine Refiner.’
Wang Yi silently made his decision.
After dealing with the [Divine Refiner’s Reclassification Certificate], Wang Yi’s exploration of the Divine Wind Secret Realm was complete. He scouted around for a bit and quickly found the exit.
But Wang Yi was in no hurry to return. After all, the Four Symbols Gourd was still collecting the toxic winds that could poison even a Celestial God. He found a random spot to practice Tai Chi and quietly waited for his time in the realm to run out. If nothing unexpected happened, he would be teleported back to his own dilapidated version of the High-Dimensional Divine Hall.
Meanwhile, in the southern part of the Huaguo Mountain Territory, a massive number of troops stood motionless. Even Jelena, Nangong Jin, and the others were somewhat stunned.
The scene before them was beyond their expectations.
The grand army had assembled, but before the battle could even begin, the enemy was annihilated!
"This works out as well! I declare..."
Nangong Jin looked around at the officers and soldiers, her voice rising. "I declare the operation over! All units, return to base!"
The soldiers immediately returned to their respective garrisons.
Jelena, however, boarded her Floating Cloud Boat to patrol the territory.
Wang Yi’s surface territory now covered an area with a radius of three hundred li. Many parts were still undeveloped, and most of Kaiyuan County, including Kaiyuan County’s main town, was now within his domain.
These regions would rapidly come under the influence of the Huaguo Mountain ecosystem.
The Indigenous People within these areas were now considered subjects of the territory, and Jelena felt it was necessary to manage and govern them.
By the Seven-Colored Lake Shore, Yun Rou was utterly confused.
Although she was not a resident of Huaguo Mountain, she had just received the regional announcement that the void invasion had begun.
But less than a minute later, she heard another system notification: the void invasion was over.
"What in the world is going on with this Huaguo Mountain? How long was the void invasion even active? The invaders hadn’t even all shown up yet, had they? How is it over already?"
Yun Rou muttered aloud, completely baffled.
Just then, Zhao Mei, who had left earlier, returned. She slowly approached Yun Rou and asked curiously, "Hey, who are you? What did you do to get suppressed here?"
Above Yun Rou’s body, the six characters "Om Mani Padme Hum" flickered in and out of existence. Hearing Zhao Mei’s voice, her heart skipped a beat. She struggled to raise her head and said, "Beautiful lady, my name is Yun Rou, and my profession is Sky Breaker. You’re so beautiful. Your legs are so long, your chest is so perky... you have such an amazing figure. I like you. Can we be friends?"
"You like me? Be friends?" Zhao Mei couldn’t help but shiver. "You’re crazy, woman!"
With that, she turned to leave.
The sixth wave of the void invasion had ended before she even got there. She planned to return to her sect for some Alchemy and couldn’t be bothered to waste time with some unidentified female hooligan.
"Wait, beautiful lady! I’m really strong! Just give me a chance!"
Yun Rou shouted after her, but seeing Zhao Mei walk away without a backward glance, she felt a pang of disappointment.
Before long, Pei Xue arrived. She was holding a small notebook and was flanked by two robot guards.
"You’re Yun Rou, correct? The Lord sent me to find you. I am now representing the Eco-Castle, and I will formally ask you three questions. Please answer them seriously. Your answers will determine whether you live or die, stay or go!"
Pei Xue’s expression was cold. "First question: Are you willing to join Huaguo Mountain?"
"I am!"
Yun Rou actually nodded. She was still looking in the direction Zhao Mei had disappeared, muttering, "Even a fiery woman yields to a persistent suitor. If I stay here, I’ll have a chance to get close to her! I, Yun Rou, have joined Huaguo Mountain. Even if you try to drive me away, I won’t leave. Wherever she is, that’s where my home is!"
"Female simp. Assessment complete," Pei Xue said, her face still an icy mask. "Second question..."
「Half a day later」
Yun Rou joined the Refining Profound Sect, becoming its sole servant disciple, while the three Royal Authority Artifacts were sent to the castle on the mountain peak.
Of these three Royal Authority Artifacts, one was the Golden Sparrow Country’s National Destiny Jade Seal, brought by Liang Xiaoyu. The other two were the ones Yun Rou had handed over: the Celestial Net Butterfly and the King’s Jade Curtain!
"And with that, all six Royal Authority Artifacts are gathered!"
Li Longyu toyed with the three Royal Authority Items, then slowly took out the Emperor’s Sword, the Golden Key Axe, and the Cyan Emperor Jade Pendant.
The Emperor’s Sword and the others had, of course, been gifts from Wang Yi.
Li Longyu gently caressed her swelling belly, a strange light glinting in her eyes. She turned to Yuan Yao and Liu Qin and said, "Lately, I’ve been feeling restless. I have a faint sense of where my destiny lies. If I take these six artifacts to the Celestial Net Country’s capital, Celestial Essence City, and place them in the six Garrison Cities, I should be able to activate the Celestial Net Array. Once the great array is active, the Celestial Compass will be mine to control. At that time, I should be able to roam the Starry Sky!"
Yuan Yao said, "So, you’re planning to just leave like that?"
Liu Qin, her expression cold, said, "It’s better if you go. If you stay here, you’ll definitely bring disaster!"
Hearing this, Li Longyu smiled. "My dear sisters, after I leave, I’ll entrust our husband to your care."
"Sigh!" Yuan Yao let out a breath. "Does it have to come to this?"
Liu Qin’s tone softened slightly. "You’re pregnant. It’s better not to go! Even if you have to leave, at least give birth to the child first!"
Li Longyu shook her head. "The fetus in my womb represents the World Law. I can’t let it stay here. Otherwise, ’they’ will come for it, and our husband won’t be able to stand against them!"
Yuan Yao sighed again. "Sister, why don’t you wait for the Master to return and talk it over with him properly?"
For once, Liu Qin nodded in agreement. "That’s right. Don’t do anything foolish!"
"My mind is made up. My dear sisters, please let me leave quietly. We’ll meet again if fate allows!"
Li Longyu smiled, put away the six Royal Authority Items, and slowly walked onto the Bronze Ship. Three Celestial God Level Giant Ape Puppets guarded her, blocking Yuan Yao and Liu Qin from approaching.
A moment later, the Bronze Ship flew into the sky and vanished into the distance in an instant.
At the same time, outside the World Line of the Typhon World, countless purple great swords drew near.
The great swords were lying flat, and on each one sat a cross-legged, green-robed Cultivator.
VMMMM! A hundred-zhang-long giant sword appeared, breaking through the void. Atop this giant sword were mountains, rivers, and pavilions. In the rearmost pavilion sat a woman clad in a starlight robe, her face indistinct.
The woman stood up, walked to a balcony, and rested her hands on the railing as she gazed down at the World Line below. In a deep voice, she said, "So this is the Typhon World? The Ming King reincarnated here? I wonder if she has managed to gestate the World Law yet. But since the Divine Lord has given the order, we must take her away regardless of whether she succeeded or not. We can’t afford any accidents!"
After examining the World Line more closely, the woman continued, "A reinforced World Line is difficult to breach. Our only hope now is that the Ming King comes to us willingly. Even if she hasn’t regained her past-life memories, she should have felt my influence... As for that Little Lord... Hmph. He doesn’t know what’s good for him. He was offered a powerful backer and refused to take it. Now he’s just cowering in a Newbie World. I really don’t know what he’s thinking. In the future, he will definitely regret it!"
This woman was none other than Zhang Xuyi, the 1645th-ranked Lord of the Royal Court from the Fourth Dimension. She had come on official orders, leading an army of one hundred thousand Golden Core Cultivators, three hundred Nascent Soul Cultivators, and one Divinity Transformation Cultivator, all for the sole purpose of welcoming the Ming King’s return!
