King of Creation

A treasure with power comparable to an Innate Spiritual Treasure, it would be untrue if Ye Zhen were not tempted.

Having just gained freedom, he went straight to the outer city of Luoyi to purchase the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures needed by the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou.

However, according to Achou, training the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit in the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames is a gradual process.

Currently, all that’s needed is a Poisonous Flood Dragon Pill of Divine Communication Realm cultivation and ten thousand pieces each of three types of Poison Flame Grass.

The first step in this cultivation requires at least ten years.

After all, the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames are extremely mysterious, and even with the guidance of Achou, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, it’s not something that can be easily mastered.

Ten years is neither long nor short.

However, for Ye Zhen, who now has the Mirage Dragon Pearl that can alter the power of time, it’s only about a year.

Luoyi of Great Zhou is arguably the most prosperous and populous place on this Primordial Continent, with countless goods and commodities.

With a little effort, Ye Zhen acquired the Poisonous Flood Dragon Pill and the three types of Poison Flame Grass needed by Achou.

According to Achou, the next step is for Ye Zhen to imprint a Divine Soul Imprint deep within the core of the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit.

When on the True Profound Continent, Ye Zhen’s Divine Soul Cultivation was insufficient, so he could only seal it with the help of others.

Now, Ye Zhen’s strength, both in terms of Divine Soul Power and Spiritual Power, has increased significantly since leaving the True Profound Continent, especially after forging his Primordial Spirit, allowing him to easily imprint a Divine Soul Imprint on the Origin Divine Soul of the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit.

Previously, he never thought of this Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit, hence it was never subdued.

After wandering for half a day, he bought some fresh trinkets for his senior sister Liao Feibai and others on the True Profound Continent, like Luluo and Feng Qingyue, as well as his parents.

Different customs and regions, different products.

Although they can’t be brought over in a short time, it would be a pleasant surprise when he returns someday.

Back at the posthouse, as per the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou’s instructions, Ye Zhen easily imprinted a Divine Soul Seal within the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit.

It was done using the secret Soul-locking Technique.

The Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit that had driven Ye Zhen to flee years ago can now be easily manipulated.

Of course, mainly because it had already been captured and sealed.

With the Heavenly Temple’s charges against Ye Zhen dismissed, his mission of reporting to duty concluded with the submission of a Jade Scroll report on the pursuit of evil traces in Shahe City.

In this Jade Scroll report, Ye Zhen only vaguely mentioned Liang You, the Wind Patrol Envoy of the South Patrol’s Seventh Route.

Because of the matter in Shahe City, that guy has been in a difficult situation recently.

What’s more troublesome is the loss of the Teleportation Command for the ancient teleportation array in Shahe City.

Typically, each ancient teleportation array affects an area of three hundred to ten thousand miles at the minimum, and up to seven or eight million miles at most.

The loss of one ancient teleportation array’s Teleportation Command means that the expansive Great Zhou’s influence in that area’s surrounding region becomes very low.

Many rebellions in remote areas stem from this.

However, the Great Zhou, which controls the ancient teleportation arrays nationwide, isn’t completely powerless without that Teleportation Token.

In the secret warehouse of the Military Headquarters of Great Zhou, there are spare Teleportation Tokens.

The problem is, the loss of a Teleportation Token indicates that the ancient teleportation array has the risk of being used by others at a critical time.

Especially in the Southern Border of Great Zhou, if something happens there, it could cause chaos in tens of millions of miles of the southern border.

It’s possible to create a completely new set of Teleportation Talismans, but the production process is extremely complicated and takes several years, making it very troublesome.

Therefore, the Heavenly Patrol Department has issued a military order to Liang You, Wind Patrol Envoy of the South Patrol’s Seventh Route, to find the missing Teleportation Token of Shahe City’s ancient teleportation array within six months.

If found, it would be seen as a contribution to offset previous faults.

If not found, Liang You not only loses his post as Wind Patrol Envoy but will also be imprisoned and face punishment.

Liang You is an incredibly important piece Ye Zhen has placed in the Southern Border.

Not only involved in dealing with the Tianming Marquis Country and Ming Tang, it may play an even more significant role in the future.

Ye Zhen is determined not only to preserve Liang You but to assist him at critical moments.

Thus, Ye Zhen directly sent the Teleportation Token of Shahe City’s ancient teleportation array to Liang You using a small-size teleportation formation.

As for how Liang You plans to stage the discovery of this Teleportation Token, how to gain more credit, and how to place trusted aides, it’s Liang You’s concern.

What Ye Zhen requires is that with a single command talisman, he can get the intelligence he wants from Liang You in the future.

Having settled these matters, Ye Zhen began contemplating leaving.

Preparing to submit a memorial to resign and return to his fiefdom.

Mainly because cultivation is inconvenient in Luoyi.

With the little cat and Nine-Headed Beast, it’s manageable, as no one pays attention, and they’re thrown into the Mirage Dragon Pearl to cultivate, adding ten days of cultivation for each real day.

But with others such as Big Ears, Ling Qianbi, etc., it’s not feasible.

People can’t just disappear in living flesh, can they?

Although there’s an illusion backed by Achou’s Mirage Energy that can deceive the Divine Sense of Dao Realm experts, Ye Zhen is reluctant to use it unless necessary.

Moreover, on this return trip, Ye Zhen plans to significantly enhance the overall strength of the people around him.

For instance, a substantial upgrade in the strength of the Sky Wing Three Saints, senior sister Liao Feibai, Wen Fuguo, Shuili Dan King, and others.

One year of cultivation equals ten years, and with the massive cultivation resources Ye Zhen possesses, in about two to three years, these people’s cultivation and combat power would undergo earth-shaking changes.

The time Ye Zhen lacks most can be recovered to some extent.

However, not long after Ye Zhen submitted his resignation memorial, Princess Changle, or rather the First Deputy Hall Master of the Barbarian Spirit Hall, came rushing over.

"Lord Ye, you’re our Barbarian Spirit Hall’s Left Chief Priest, just appointed and haven’t even taken your seat, yet you’re planning to leave Luoyi?

Aren’t you worried about making the entire Ancestor God Temple mock Changle?" Princess Changle teased with a sly smile upon her arrival.

Though Ye Zhen knew it was in jest, appointing him as the Left Chief Priest during that situation was risking everything to help him, which shouldn’t be overlooked.

Ye Zhen could only listen.

"Uh, Princess..." Princess Changle raised her eyebrows, and Ye Zhen immediately knew he misspoke, quickly bowing and surrendering to correct himself, "Master Hall, I truly have no such intentions. May I ask what instructions Master Hall has?"

Seeing Ye Zhen’s humble demeanor, Princess Changle’s tense and charming face relaxed into a smile, hands behind her back as she walked forward, "If so, then my Left Chief Priest, come assume your post with me now!"
