After a while, Xiahou retracted all the cards and looked at everyone again.
"This is the first matter. The second matter concerns the Earth Tribulation... The Earth Qi, which has been dormant for years, has beco active again recently!"
Everyone’s expression stiffened upon hearing this, understanding what it ant.
It ant... the Dragon Vein was coming!
Previously, even the struggle for the Tiger Level Star Veins resulted in countless casualties.
But these were mostly lower-tier skirmishes, mainly involving Radiant Moon Shining Star, with only a few Burning Sun.
And once the Dragon Vein is involved, then... at least it will be Burning Sun fighting for it!
Every King Level is extrely important to the nation.
And for those who are already Three Suns realm experts, this is also a chance to strive for King Level achievents.
Xiahou said, "To prepare for the upcoming Dragon Vein struggle, the departnt will establish the Fifth Imperial."
"The Fifth Imperial?"
Not to ntion Su Yuan, even the two True Monarchs, Fang Yuan and Tong Xue’er, were quite surprised upon hearing this.
However, Nangong Li’s face remained calm, as if he had so prior knowledge.
Xiahou nodded and said, "According to our agreent with the Four Great Hidden Sects, in matters crucial to the state, all major sects must join forces and provide support.
To better compete for the Dragon Vein and face the disaster, after discussions among several Imperial Seats and with the consent of the Red Emperor, we will establish a semi-sectarian Fifth Imperial under the Sky Patrol Departnt – the Qilin Imperial!"
Fang Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Those guys from the sect..."
"This matter has been discussed by the upper levels for a while now. Currently, the Vermilion Bird Imperial’s Fang Yu is already on his way to the Four Hidden Sects to draft candidates for the Qilin Imperial, and he’s expected to bring them back soon."
Everyone’s expressions varied. Since the establishnt of the Sky Patrol Departnt by the Red Emperor, there have only been the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu Imperials, a tradition lasting nearly ten thousand years.
The sudden addition of a Fifth Imperial made everyone quite unaccustod.
Moreover, the envoys of the Sky Patrol Departnt mostly rose through the ranks, with well-docunted strength and achievents.
And the level of the sect people... no one feels assured...
However, in the face of disaster, one must dare to constantly change rules and adapt!
Sticking to old ways only leaves one lagging behind.
Xiahou explained so details again, finally advising in a dry voice:
"So, everyone should stay on standby within the Yan Court recently, as the situation may change and actions might be needed at any mont."
Everyone acknowledged: "Yes, Xia True Monarch."
Xiahou lifted the set of cards he had before. A green light surged in his palm, and soon, large pieces of Qingmu grew from Xiahou’s hand.
As wood shavings flew, one card after another was imprinted and flew to each person present.
Clearly, a set of card copies was imprinted for everyone.
"Well then, that’s all for today."
Xiahou called out, and then everyone left the Four Symbols Hall and went their separate ways.
Su Yuan returned directly to his residence.
"Welco back, Master!" Ruan Ruan greeted joyfully at the door.
Su Yuan walked in with a smile and suddenly rembered sothing, flipping his hand to take out a few Early Sun Star Cores to give to Ruan Ruan.
These were the Burning Sun Star Cores hunted during the ti the Demon Soul Avatar stayed in the Demon Beast Forest before being recalled.
"Master, what are these...?" Ruan Ruan asked, receiving the star cores with a puzzled expression.
Su Yuan said, "The Dragon Vein is about to rise, and the temporary peace is about to end, so we must quickly enhance your strength."
Ruan Ruan asked, "But isn’t Master in great need of Star Cores?"
Su Yuan fondly ruffled her head, "I still have two Chongyang level ones left. Now, the Early Sun level Star Cores are not that important to ."
Currently, both breathing and skills are maxed out, and aside from the Four Arts, there’s nothing that requires Star Dust for enhancent.
Making Sun Spirit Pills of Early Sun level has limited effect on now; it’s better to directly let Ruan Ruan devour them to quickly raise her cultivation to Chongyang level.
The stronger Ruan Ruan becos, the stronger I will be.
"Thank you, Master!"
Ruan Ruan giggled and swallowed one of the star cores in one bite.
Then she put away the remaining star cores and leaned against Su Yuan’s side, quietly devouring and refining them.
Su Yuan smiled but did not disturb her.
He reached for the wooden cards copied by Xiahou True Monarch and spread them out before him.
"Truth Secret Society..."
Su Yuan’s eyes scanned over the cards with different illustrations, a flash of intrigue in his eyes.
"Three Suns realm, True Form Release, 22 people... This can be seen as an enhanced version of Star Envoys, with almost double the number.
The Star Envoys back then were impressive. I wonder what skills these Truth Secret Society mbers possess..."
A faint trace of anticipation arose in Su Yuan’s eyes.
Fighting with others, what endless joy it brings!
Though not fanatical, Su Yuan loved battle, especially against various experts.
"Since I’m on standby, I should now focus on improving my cultivation..."
With a thought, a red light flew from before him, transforming into a Demon Soul.
Su Yuan had already consud a Chongyang Sun Spirit Pill before setting out for the Four Symbols Hall.
Now, he took out another Chongyang Sun Spirit Pill and handed it to the Demon Soul.
Then, both body and avatar used the pill’s power to cultivate together.
The thick Star Power deep within Yan Court was not much lacking compared to Qingming Realm, fully sufficient.
Combined with the Chongyang Sun Spirit Pill’s boost and the double cultivation speed of the Demon Soul Avatar...
Even though extrely slow, the energy in Su Yuan’s Star Sea was visibly increasing bit by bit.
In a blink, half a month passed.
Su Yuan and the Demon Soul had completely refined two Chongyang Sun Spirit Pills.
The cultivation improved sowhat, but it was still far from reaching the Three Suns realm.
The Demon Soul also brought back two Chongyang Star Cores, but consecutive use of Sun Spirit Pills might destabilize the foundation, so more ti for settling is needed now.
"Then, let’s ditate to enhance the Power of Soul for now."
Su Yuan closed his eyes and sank his consciousness into the golden Soul Card within, beginning to feel the power of the Infinite Profound Phoenix.
At this mont, the Sky Patrol Black Card began to stir again.
Su Yuan took out the Black Card and found himself intrigued.
"So, the Four Hidden Sects have arrived at last."
Su Yuan’s figure flickered, leaving the room...
Within the Yan Court, Fang Qingxiao led a group of over a hundred people from outside.
"Are those the people from the Hidden Sects? It’s my first ti seeing them."
"The one with a few strands of white hair mixed into the black, seems to be the second on the Burning Sun Top 100, Wenren Feng of Mo i Valley!"
"And the fifth on the Top 100, Ruan Jinglun of Yulun Mountain!"
"Why have the sect people co to the Sky Patrol Departnt? It looks like there’s going to be so major move."
"..."
Many passing envoys watched from afar as a line of people in sect robes headed to the depths of the Yan Court, discussing amongst themselves.
Undoubtedly, these were mbers of the Four Sects, each exuding terrifying auras, at least Radiant Moon, with quite a few Burning Sun level experts!
At the forefront of the group, besides Fang Qingxiao, there was another woman of absolute beauty and unmatched aura.
She was none other than Dan Taing, the Divine Thought Path Spirit Venerable whom Su Yuan had encountered when seeking spiritual skills.
At this mont, Dan Taing was closely next to Fang Qingxiao, her eyes smiling as she looked around curiously at the scene inside Yan Court.
"The Yan Court is indeed majestic... By the way, Fang Qingxiao, where’s the territory of our Qilin Palace?"
"Over... there." Fang Qingxiao pointed his hand, "A section has been specially designated."
Dan Taing smiled, "Not bad, it’s quite close to your Vermilion Bird Palace."
Fang Qingxiao’s mouth twitched, a subtle stiffness of discomfort on his face.
Unexpectedly, the person elected by the Four Sects and even agreed upon by the Red Emperor as the Qilin Imperial was Dan Taing.
There was no choice but to lead her down the mountain to the Yan Court...
