The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Chapter 166 Arrangements

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng's eyes flickered slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips.

"That requires having the opportunity."

Ye Feng neither refused nor agreed, giving an ambiguous answer.

He did not know the Great Luo Domain Lord Mandala; he simply knew something about her and had some prior knowledge of her.

However, he was confident that he could cooperate with Mandala and gain the support of this Great Luo Domain Lord.

Mandala knew very well what his purpose was in establishing his power in the northern border of the Tianluo Continent. Lu Heng of the Holy Demon Palace, who had planted the curse on him, was no ordinary enemy.

"If Pavilion Master Ye is willing, then it's easy to discuss."

Wanluo Supreme said with a smile.

"Um."

Ye Feng smiled and nodded, his eyes sparkling.

This time, when he collaborated with Blood Eagle Supreme, he mentioned Mandala, indicating his desire to make contact with it. Blood Eagle Supreme relayed his words up the chain of command.

If Mandala is curious about how he knows his name, then perhaps it won't be long before he meets this Great Luo Domain Lord.

At that time, we can have an open and honest talk with them.

The ancient Mandala flower, the adopted daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, and the body of his clone—this is the true origin of the Mandala. Unfortunately, some of the memories of the Mandala have been lost.

As for Mandala herself, the curse within her body is a troublesome problem right in front of her. If it is left unresolved for a few more years, she will probably have to fall into a long period of slumber and recuperation.

This was an opportunity for him to cooperate with Mandala and gain her trust.

In this northern border region, without a supreme earthly expert behind you, you will find it difficult to move an inch. But with the support of Mandala, the supreme spiritual liquid will not be lacking.

It's not impossible to cultivate to the Ninth Rank Supreme within a decade or so, and then break through to the Earth Supreme.

"Wanluo takes his leave—"

Seeing that Ye Feng agreed, Wanluo Supreme was overjoyed and took his leave with clasped hands.

Ye Feng didn't try to stop him, watching Wanluo Supreme leave before letting out a soft sigh.

Whether Mandala will come to him because of his few words is not entirely certain, and it is even possible that Blood Eagle Supreme did not report what he said.

However, this is not a big deal. He can go to the Great Luo Heaven Domain to meet him. Why would it take a while to gain the support of this Earthly Sovereign?

The most important thing right now is to cultivate spiritual power and strive to break through to the fourth-grade supreme as soon as possible, so as to have the strength to fight against those fifth-grade supreme beings.

Only in this way can Tianfeng Pavilion unify the surrounding areas. As for whether or not the areas that withdrew will be taken over after the war in the Great Luo Heaven Domain ends, it will not have much impact.

If another force is willing to take him in, it will be a very good fortune once he breaks through to the fourth rank of Supreme.

"Cultivate!"

As night fell, Tianfeng City was enveloped in a tranquil darkness.

Inside the main hall, the crystal stones on the dome emitted a bright light, illuminating a slender figure beneath them.

Wang tide stood in the hall, her light blue gauze dress outlining her exquisite figure. Her black hair cascaded down to her waist like a waterfall, and a faint blush graced her fair face.

"Now that the war has ended, I wonder if there will ever be another chance—"

Wang tide's fingers gently gripped her dress, her watery eyes glancing occasionally at the high platform, a mixture of nervousness and anticipation in them.

treat.

Since the destruction of her family, she followed the young master from the Jade Origin Continent to this Heavenly Luo Continent, experiencing many trials and tribulations, and finally found a place to settle down in the Heavenly Wind Pavilion.

That night, although the young master did not do anything to her, he did give her the status of a maid.

This was a great honor for her, a person at the Transformation Realm. However, over the past year, the young master had been busy with cultivation and affairs of the pavilion, and she had rarely had the opportunity to get close to him.

Now that the war in the Great Luo Heaven Domain has ended, the young master has some rare leisure time and has taken in several new maids. His third uncle is also reminding him of this—

"Come on up."

Suddenly, a gentle voice rang out, and Wang tide's delicate body trembled slightly. She quickly looked up.

Ye Feng, dressed in black, stood on the high platform in the hall, a faint smile on his handsome and otherworldly face, his dark and deep eyes looking over.

"Young Master—"

Wang tide quickly stepped forward, gave a graceful bow, and spoke in a soft, sweet voice, tinged with shyness.

Ye Feng glanced at Wang tide, and the smile on his lips deepened.

As Tianfeng Pavilion's influence in this region grew stronger and things calmed down, Qianxuan, Cangxuan, and their subordinates sent him many women here.

These women, selected from among the billions of living beings in the Tianfeng Pavilion's lower realm, are all exceptionally beautiful and rare. Some of them are also quite talented, only one step away from reaching the Supreme Realm.

He did not accept all the women who came to him; he only kept a few who had good talent and potential and were outstanding in all aspects.

In his view, these women were not bad as maids and as a facade for Tianfeng Pavilion.

Although he likes beautiful women, not everyone is worth his attention.

"Are you offering yourself up tonight?"

Ye Feng chuckled and spoke frankly.

Wang tide's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head, not daring to meet Ye Feng's gaze. A voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz came from deep in her throat.

"I—want to serve you, young master."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, raised his hand and gently lifted Wang tide's chin, forcing the latter to look at him.

Soft crystal light streamed down from the dome of the main hall, illuminating her pretty face. Her bright eyes reflected Ye Feng's image, filled with determination.

"A beauty under the moon, that's a nice memory."

Ye Feng chuckled, waved his hand, and the palace door closed in response. He then led Wang tide into the inner room.

It's okay to indulge yourself occasionally. The woman in front of him doesn't hold much place in his heart, but her name alone can evoke many memories of the Sword Continent.

Judging by the time, he had been away from the Sword Continent for two or three years—

The next morning.

The morning light streamed through the windows, illuminating the sleeping quarters.

Wang tide nestled in Ye Feng's arms, her black hair loose, a faint blush on her pretty face, and a reassuring smile on her lips.

"This maid is not bad—"

Ye Feng looked down at the sleeping woman in his arms, a gentle smile appearing on his lips.

He actually spent most of last night cultivating, and women below the Supreme Realm were not qualified for him to indulge himself.

Even so, after a brief exchange, his long-tense mind relaxed considerably.

Blindly focusing on cultivation is not advisable.

"Young Master—"

Wang tide slowly woke up, and the first thing she saw was Ye Feng's handsome and refined face. Her pretty face immediately turned red, and she quickly got up.

"You can rest here and focus on your cultivation from now on. I also have something to tell you to do."

Ye Feng smiled slightly, gently pressed down on Wang tide's shoulder, and glanced at her.

"Please give your orders, young master."

Wang tide nodded slightly, her watery eyes gazing at Ye Feng.

"You are a student of the Jade Origin Spirit Academy on the Jade Origin Continent, so you should know about the so-called Spiritual Path, right?"

Ye Feng's deep black eyes flickered as he gently stroked Wang tide's delicate, porcelain-like face.

The woman in his arms was originally a carefree young lady from a wealthy family, not yet twenty years old. She was rescued by him due to a family tragedy and followed him all the way to this Hundred Battle Domain.

Although its current strength is somewhat weak, it is still trustworthy.

"Young Master, are you referring to the Spiritual Path Space where the Five Great Academies use the divine artifact, the Judgment Realm, to select and recruit students?"

Wang tide paused for a moment, then asked softly.

"Hmm, not bad."

Ye Feng nodded slightly.

"The selection process for the Spiritual Path in the Five Great Academies is relatively rigorous. I will later scour the territory of Tianfeng Pavilion to select some young men and women who have not yet cultivated, possess excellent talent and character, and are expected to enter this Spiritual Path space."

"There is a mysterious black page in the Spirit Path space that I need to obtain, and this is the task of these people, and also yours."

Ye Feng spoke in a low voice, explaining to Wang tide.

Within the Spiritual Path lie fragments of the Ancient Divine Scripture, the Immortal Record. This particular page possesses sealing power; if one could obtain it, it could continuously suppress the curse within the Mandala, preventing it from falling into slumber in the future.

However, these fragments of the ancient divine scripture were not easy to obtain; he only knew that they were found in the spiritual path.

The space on the Spirit Road where spiritual power cannot be used is nothing to supreme beings, but it is quite vast and boundless to some young men and women who have not cultivated.

Finding this fragment from here is like searching for a needle in a haystack, but how can we know we can't succeed if we don't try? Those who enter the spiritual path can not only discover it themselves, but also recruit others.

With proper planning, there is a chance. Furthermore, the mandala might possess a method to sense this fragment, its essence being the ancient mandala flower—

"A mysterious black paper in the spiritual path—"

Wang tide looked blank, clearly not understanding what Ye Feng was referring to.

"You should first select and find people who can enter the Spirit Path. As for the specific number of people needed, you can ask your third uncle and Qianxuan to assist you. Just say it's my arrangement."

"This matter is not urgent. You have several decades. If you really can't find one, it's not a big deal. Just consider it as training talent for my Tianfeng Pavilion."

Ye Feng's lips twitched slightly, but his eyes showed little eagerness or longing; instead, they were unusually calm.

Searching for the fragments of this ancient divine tome and immortal catalog is a good thing; having too high expectations is not a good thing.

From beginning to end, there is more than one way to suppress and resolve the curse within Mandala. At present, he and Mandala have not yet cooperated, so it is too early to say anything.

"Um--"

Wang tide nodded emphatically and responded.

"I should definitely visit the Five Great Courts sometime in the future; the Judgment Realm is extremely useful—"

Ye Feng didn't say much. As his mind settled down, his thoughts began to wander.

The Judgment Realm, jointly controlled by the five academies, is no ordinary divine artifact. Its grade is above the superior level, and it is a relic from ancient times. When its power is at its peak, it is a sacred object.

Putting aside everything else, the fact that the light of this Judgment Realm can shine into lower planes and search for anything desired in the vast world is enough to demonstrate its extraordinary nature.

However, although the Five Great Academies are not particularly strong on the surface, they are backed by some of the top forces in the Great Thousand World.

With his current strength, it's unrealistic for him to either enter the spiritual path space within the Judgment Realm or use the Judgment Mirror, whose power has diminished since ancient times, to search for anything.

"As a member of the Spirit Academy, you naturally understand the rules of the Spirit Academy's selection process. And as far as I know, there are also several students among the Lingfeng Guards of Qianxuan who graduated from the five major academies."

"You can ask them later and make arrangements according to the specific circumstances."

After a moment, Ye Feng came to his senses, gave a few more instructions, and then got up and left.

Selecting and searching for those who will enter the Spiritual Path to find fragments of the Ancient Divine Scripture is no easy task, as it involves the secrecy of information and the talents and character of those who enter.

Finding just one suitable candidate could take over a decade, but fortunately, Tianfeng Pavilion is no longer what it used to be, allowing it to cast a wide net.

Ordinary people who are fortunate enough to be chosen by the Spirit Path can also be recruited with generous offers.

Inside the Tianfeng Palace.

Qianxuan, Cangxuan, and the others stood respectfully at the bottom of their heads, clearly having been waiting for a long time.

"Sect Master!"

Upon seeing Ye Feng appear, everyone bowed in greeting.

Ye Feng nodded slightly, stepped onto the throne, and glanced at everyone with a solemn expression.

"Sect Master, according to news from the front, the Ice River King has led the army of the Great Luo Heaven Domain to withdraw from the Guiyun Mountains. The Guiyun Supreme paid the price of 500,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids in exchange for the Great Luo Heaven Domain's withdrawal."

"The Supreme Being of Youdu, the Supreme Being of Tianshan, the Supreme Being of Leimo, and others have each contributed 300,000 or more Supreme Spirit Liquids. The Great Luo Heaven Domain's expeditionary army has withdrawn completely."

Guiyun City, Youdu City, Tianshan Sect, and other forces controlled by these fifth-rank supreme beings paid a price of over a million supreme spirit liquids.

With the forces controlled by second- and third-rank supreme beings in the southeastern region being completely plundered, the harvest from this campaign in the Great Luo Heaven Domain is unimaginably abundant.

No wonder the Great Luo Heaven Domain launches a war of conquest every few years; it's an incredibly profitable business.

"With so much Supreme Spiritual Liquid, the forces controlled by these Fifth-Rank Supremes are truly rolling in wealth—"

Ye Feng's lips twitched, and he said with considerable envy.

A single drop of Supreme Spirit Liquid would take an ordinary First-Rank Supreme to condense for a month. If exchanged through special channels using Spirit Coins, a common currency in the Great Thousand Worlds, it would require a billion or even more.

This is the most expensive cultivation resource in the vast world. However, even so, some supreme beings can accumulate considerable wealth over a long period of time.

One drop a month, one hundred months, one thousand months, and that's another number. As strength increases, the speed of this condensation will also increase significantly, far exceeding the previous speed.

For a ninth-rank supreme being, a few hundred drops of supreme spiritual liquid might only take a day or two to produce.

Moreover, the only way to obtain this Supreme Spiritual Liquid is through the condensation of Supreme Beings. Some top forces have super spirit-gathering arrays and special spirit-gathering artifacts, such as the spirit-gathering bowl that has been lost since ancient times, which can directly absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and convert it into Supreme Spiritual Liquid.

In this Tianluo Continent, the wider the territory of the Mo Xia, the more benefits one can obtain from the Supreme Spirit Liquid. It is a continuous source, and over time, the more powerful a Supreme Being is, the deeper their foundation becomes.

"Under the leadership of the Pavilion Master, it won't be long before our Heavenly Wind Pavilion's foundation becomes strong."
