Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Ye Junlin never expected that this platinum summoning card could summon an existence of such a level.

With Donghuang Taiyi, a terrestrial immortal in his later stages, overseeing things, Yongyetian gained the confidence to establish itself.

"Your subordinate, Donghuang Taiyi, pays respects to the sovereign."

Donghuang Taiyi bowed slightly, his voice coming through the mask with a strange echo, both respectful and dignified.

Ye Junlin suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly said:

"Your Excellency Donghuang, there's no need for such formalities. With your assistance, the Eternal Night Heaven will be as powerful as a tiger with wings!"

Ye Junlin looked at Donghuang Taiyi, who was bowing respectfully, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice:

"Your Excellency Donghuang, from this day forward, you will be one of the 'Five Emperors' of my Eternal Night Heaven, with the title 'Dongyu'."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded and replied, "Your subordinate obeys."

Ye Junlin added, "Currently, the laws of heaven and earth have not fully recovered, and spiritual energy has not yet reached its peak."

"With your cultivation level at the late stage of a terrestrial immortal, making a move lightly might provoke a backlash from heaven and earth."

"For now, I will remain in the Eternal Night Space to cultivate in seclusion, as a trump card of my Eternal Night Heaven. I will not easily reveal it to the world unless absolutely necessary."

He knew very well that the power of a terrestrial immortal was far too terrifying, and the current Eastern Region could not bear it.

Making a hasty move would not only expose one's strength but could also invite unnecessary trouble.

"Understood, Your subordinate." Donghuang Taiyi's tone was calm, as if he had long been accustomed to lying low.

Yuan Tiangang, who was standing to the side, had been holding his breath ever since Donghuang Taiyi appeared.

At first, he only felt that the other party's aura was unfathomable, far exceeding his own late-stage Celestial Realm.

When Ye Junlin revealed his cultivation level, he was even more shocked—a terrestrial immortal realm!

That was the realm he pursued throughout his life!

He gazed at the yin and yang energies surrounding Donghuang Taiyi, feeling the oppressive aura that seemed capable of stabilizing the universe and reversing yin and yang.

My heart is filled with both an infinite yearning for a higher realm and an indescribable sense of awe.

As a fellow top expert, he could better appreciate the terror behind this strength.

Ye Junlin noticed Yuan Tiangang's expression but didn't point it out, only saying:

"Gangzi, use the communication token to notify all core personnel to return to the Eternal Night Space immediately. There is important information to discuss."

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang quickly responded, gathering spiritual power at his fingertips and activating the communication token at his waist.

In less than half an hour, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng and the other eight guards, as well as Di Yun and Linghu Chong, the two Seven Stars, all returned to the Eternal Night Space through the spatial portal.

As soon as everyone appeared and finished paying their respects to Ye Junlin, they sensed an unfamiliar and terrifying aura in the hall, and all of them became wary.

When the figure in black robes and a mask was clearly seen, even a peak-level assassin like Jing Ke couldn't help but shrink his pupils—

This person's aura sent a chill down their spines, as if they were facing an unfathomable abyss.

Seeing this, Ye Junlin said loudly, "Everyone, let me introduce a new partner to you."

He pointed to Donghuang Taiyi

"This is Donghuang Taiyi, who will be one of the 'Five Emperors' of my Eternal Night Heaven from now on. His cultivation level is... late stage of the Land Immortal realm."

"hiss--"

Gasps of astonishment filled the air.

Late-stage Land Immortal!

This level of attainment was practically legendary to them!

Jing Ke, Di Yun, and the others exchanged glances, all seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Your subordinates greet Lord Dongyu!"

After realizing what was happening, everyone quickly bowed and paid their respects, their tone filled with genuine reverence.

Even Yuan Tiangang, a powerful expert in the late stage of the Celestial Realm, bowed respectfully.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded in acknowledgment, his voice coming through the mask: "No need for formalities."

After everyone calmed down, Ye Junlin mentally gave the system the following command:

"System! Integrate the core building complex into the eternal night space."

[Ding! Initiating integration into the Eternal Night Space...]

In an instant, a slight tremor came from the depths of the Eternal Night Space, and everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake slightly.

Immediately, a powerful spatial force spread out.

The once empty eastern area was now shimmering with light, and earth and rocks were churning.

One after another, pavilions of different styles but equally magnificent appearance rose from the ground, arranged in a well-organized manner, forming a neat architectural complex.

In front of each pavilion hangs a plaque with ancient and vigorous calligraphy, exuding a faint spiritual energy.

Monarch Pavilion, Two Gods Pavilion, Three Emperors Pavilion, Four Venerables Pavilion, Five Imperial Pavilion, Six Absolutes Pavilion, Seven Stars Pavilion, Eight Guardians Pavilion.

Ye Junlin led everyone to move and look, and saw that the Monarch Pavilion was located in the very center of the building complex. It was nine stories high, with glazed tiles and golden dragons coiled around the pillars, and its momentum was the most magnificent.

The Two Gods Pavilion, Three Emperors Pavilion, Four Venerables Pavilion, and Five Imperial Pavilion are located next to the Monarch Pavilion, and their styles are ancient and mysterious.

The auras of the Five Imperial Pavilions and Donghuang Taiyi subtly resonated with each other;

One of the pavilions in the Six Absolutes Pavilion is equipped with an observatory and a divination array, which was obviously tailor-made for Yuan Tiangang.

Seven Star Pavilion: The environment is serene and elegant, conducive to contemplating spiritual realms.

Outside the Eight Guards Pavilion stood swords, spears, and halberds, exuding a chilling aura of killing intent; it was the perfect place to hone one's skills in combat.

"These eight pavilions will become our residences and training grounds in the Eternal Night Space."

Ye Junlin pointed to the building complex and said slowly,

"The Monarch's Pavilion is my residence; the other pavilions are for you to reside in according to your respective positions."

"As for the other vacant pavilions, powerful individuals will join them in the future."

He paused, then added:

"Each pavilion is equipped with a spirit-gathering array and a defensive array, making the spiritual energy concentration far exceed that of the outside world."

"You can either meditate here or handle other matters on weekdays."

As everyone gazed at the pavilion before them, they felt a rich spiritual energy wash over them; a single breath brought a sense of comfort and ease to their meridians.

It was clearly a specially arranged cultivation ground, and everyone was overjoyed.

"Your subordinates thank you, Your Majesty!" the crowd responded in unison, their voices filled with excitement.

After the assignments were completed, everyone looked at their assigned pavilions, and their eyes blazed with fighting spirit.

With such an excellent cultivation environment, one's cultivation level will surely reach a higher level in the future.

With the trump card of Donghuang Taiyi, a terrestrial immortal, the future of Yongyetian is becoming increasingly clear and bright.

Ye Junlin's gaze swept over everyone, and he took out a copy of the "Shadow Technique" from his system space, handing it to Yuan Tiangang:

"Yuan Tiangang, this is the 'Shadow Technique,' take it."

Yuan Tiangang took it with both hands, and immediately felt a cool and pure spiritual energy fluctuation. After flipping through it briefly, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Ye Junlin explained, "This technique is a high-grade Heaven-rank skill, specializing in speed and stealth."

"Upon mastering this skill, one can move freely in the shadows, making it difficult even for cultivators at the Celestial Realm to detect them."

"More importantly, cultivators will be subtly and gradually develop loyalty to me, Eternal Night, and there is absolutely no possibility of betrayal."

He paused, then looked at Jing Ke and the others:

"This technique is best suited for recruiting intelligence agents, but you may also practice it if you are interested."

"Especially you eight guards, Jing Ke, for the way of assassins, stealth and speed are the foundation."

Yuan Tiangang grew increasingly alarmed as he looked, and sighed as he looked up:

"This technique is a perfect match for the previous 'Blood Slaughter Technique'!"

"The Bloodlust Technique tempers the body through killing, growing stronger with each kill, making it suitable for direct combat."

"The Shadow Technique, on the other hand, is hidden in the shadows, specializing in stealth and speed, which complement each other perfectly."

"With these two techniques, the strength of my Fine Rain Pavilion's assassins and intelligence network will surely improve by leaps and bounds!"
