Chapter 527: New Mission

The Haoshen Abyss has been held.

For the Yan Country, this is excellent news of the highest order.

At the same time, that Space Rift above the Haoshen Abyss will also be repaired at an extremely rapid speed.

Among the Eight Kings, the whereabouts of the Strength King are unknown, while the other seven kings all escaped with ease.

Among the Four Cardinal Virtues, Huo Yuande, Tu Yuan De, and Shui Yuande have all defected to the Yan Country, and Shui Yuande, under the persuasion of Huo Yuande, even signed a contract with Zhang Aiyu.

Tu Yuan De signed a contract with Yun Luo, and everyone is happy.

The Resurrection Society has been completely shattered, and only the Thorn Maiden and the Demon Sword wielder remain of the Gospel Society.

This time, many emerging factions were suppressed by the Twelve National Pillars together with the Twenty-Eight Mansions.

The Six Marshals did not even have to show their faces, and the situation at the Haoshen Abyss was successfully resolved.

By the time Ye Bai returned to the Heaven Gate, Jiang Dashi was drinking tea on a recliner.

"Ye Bai, let me tell you some good news: we have restored contact with the factions of the Upper Realm, and we are no longer like duckweed without roots."

"Moreover, this time the God of Light threw quite a few good things into the Haoshen Abyss that can allow Blue Star to ascend."

"Now that spiritual energy is beginning to recover, we will all take turns going into seclusion during this period to break through our bottlenecks."

"The Six Marshals should be able to break through to the Heavenly Tier and subsequently regain their youth."

"Those of us National Pillars stuck at the Eighth Rank will likely all break through to the Ninth Rank one after another."

In fact, it is not that their strength is insufficient, but that the capacity Blue Star can bear is only so much.

If a Marshal were to break through to the Heavenly Tier or Saint Tier, they would be squeezed out by the Crystal Wall of Blue Star and appear directly in a plane outside of Blue Star.

Therefore, they have always been suppressing their cultivation realms.

"This is indeed good news; if our Blue Star can gradually grow stronger, we won't have to look at others' faces to develop."

Ye Bai nodded.

"I returned this time to entrust the Heaven Gate entirely to you."

"After I break through to the Ninth Rank, according to custom, I will no longer be the Gate Master of the Heaven Gate."

"You take over; strive to carry forward the Heaven Gate."

Jiang Dashi stuffed the pitch-black Ink Jade Token into Ye Bai's arms.

"With this token, you will be able to walk freely in the treasure vault of the Heaven Gate."

"But don't forget one thing: every treasure is set with a restriction; you must exchange points before you can take the treasure away, otherwise you will suffer the treasure's counterattack."

After Jiang Dashi finished speaking, he disappeared instantly.

He went into seclusion.

After breaking through the Eighth Rank, he will completely regain his youth and recover his vitality.

The Paper Puppet stood quietly behind Ye Bai; after Ye Bai became the Gate Master, the Paper Puppet officially became Ye Bai's phantom beast.

"Paper Puppet, according to the intelligence you have collected, how many have surfaced in the Yan Country this time?"

Ye Bai said with a cold sneer; he still holds the function of inspection, and he estimates that in a short while, a great reckoning will come.

"Quite a few have surfaced this time!"

"The Chuma of the Northeast, the Buddhas of the Western Desert!"

"These two are the most active."

"However, the Chuma of the Northeast is also divided into several factions; the ones most active this time are the Gray Immortals."

"But they have all been dealt with by the Yan Country; you can go back and inspect to see if there are any fish that slipped through the net."

The Paper Puppet released all the intelligence in her hands, and a book appeared in her hand.

The book contains all the intelligence regarding this matter.

"Very good, I will keep it in mind for now; is there anything going on at the Heaven Gate?"

"If there is nothing, I will leave."

The Paper Puppet shook her head: "There is no urgent matter for the time being; the issue with Anbao Hall was already explained to you last time."

"We will not be open for business for the time being; we will continue only after Jiang Dashi comes out of seclusion."

"You don't have to stay here now; if I have anything, I will naturally contact you through the contact paper doll."

Ye Bai appeared directly on the campus of Imperial Capital University.

Ever since the plane began to ascend, the recovery of spiritual energy has also begun, and some Weird activities have also become more frequent.

As for Hastur, whom he had not seen for a long time, Ye Bai suddenly discovered a three-meter-tall octopus man standing beside him.

It was moving its tentacles while walking on campus, its eyes rolling around, looking quite restless.

"Hastur, it seems you still managed to reap quite a few benefits at the Haoshen Abyss this time!"

As soon as Ye Bai saw this height ratio, he knew that Hastur had gained quite a lot.

"Average, average, not worth mentioning."

Hastur shook the few hairs on his head.

"By the way, Ye Bai, I can feel that there are more loopholes in this plane."

This sentence that Hastur suddenly said made Ye Bai pause in surprise.

"More loopholes? No way, right?"

Ye Bai became quite curious.

"That's right, when a plane ascends, many loopholes will be created, and many gods will invade Blue Star through these loopholes."

"I suspect that the God of Light did not stop, but is brewing a bigger conspiracy."

After hearing Hastur's words, a look of displeasure appeared on Ye Bai's face.

"However, your plane has ascended now, and the strength of your resistance has also increased."

At this moment, Ye Bai suddenly asked Hastur.

"Hastur, I would like to ask you, what is the advancement beyond the Ninth Rank? I only know of Heavenly Tier, Saint Tier, and such."

Hastur's eyes rolled: "Let me tell you. Beyond the Ninth Rank, there is Heavenly Tier, Saint Tier, and Demigod."

"Heavenly Tier is actually the barrier of the Ninth Rank. As long as you break through the Ninth Rank, you reach Heavenly Tier. It is only one step away from breaking through to Saint Tier."

"And we will ignite the divine fire when we are Demigods. Once we become gods, the divine fire will turn into a divine spark."

"After becoming a god, it is further divided into Weak Divine Power, Weak Divine Power, Medium Divine Power, Qiangshen Shenli, and the master of gods, the Overgod."

"However, looking at the current upgrade of Blue Star, it can at most only reach the Saint Tier."

"Above the Saint Tier, you have no way to break through at all."

"Unless you can find more World Fragments to integrate with Blue Star."

"In fact, plane fragments are the main force leading to plane upgrades."

World Fragments? This was another very new term.

"Actually, World Fragments are the fragments formed after every world is shattered."

"Worlds are divided into Great Thousand World, Small Thousand World, and Weak World."

"The plane where Blue Star is located belongs to the space between a Small Thousand World and a Great Thousand World."

"They need to absorb more World Fragments to be able to upgrade."

"Do you mean a Middle Thousand World?"

Hastur nodded.

"The plane where the gods are located is a super-large Great Thousand plane. They have plundered countless heavenly treasures to strengthen the Great Thousand plane."

"Your Blue Star is their next target."

At this time, Ye Bai appeared very humble.

"Lord Hastur, then how should we go about plundering World Fragments to subsequently improve the laws of Blue Star?"

Hastur's eyes shifted: "In fact, I also have quite a few World Fragments in my possession, but when I was imprisoned in the cosmic prison, I lost control over those World Fragments."

"If you want to obtain those fragments, I can teleport you inside, but if any problems arise, I will not be responsible."

Ye Bai thought about it carefully, and in the end, he shook his head.

"No need, no need to be so troublesome. With my current strength, World Fragments still have an impact on me."

"I had better not do this for the time being."

"Hastur, once my strength grows, I will help you get rid of the trouble of the prison."

After Ye Bai headed to the Qi Luck Hall, he took on another inspection mission.

Marshals go into seclusion in pairs, and the Pillars of the Nation go into seclusion in groups of four.

Therefore, the entire Yan Country's high-end manpower was suddenly stretched thin.

Helpless, the Big Dipper could only take the field ahead of schedule.

"This time your mission is very simple. You go to investigate the Buddhas of the Western Desert to see if they have been engaging in corruption and breaking the law."

"This time, they forcibly stepped forward during the great chaos at the Haoshen Abyss."

"Their Eighth Rank Buddha was severely wounded, so I need you to investigate it clearly."

"You are acting alone this time; there shouldn't be any problems, right?"

Because the Yellow Dragon Marshal and the Qilin Marshal had both gone into seclusion, it was the Azure Dragon Marshal who assigned the mission to Ye Bai this time.

"Of course there is no problem."

The great battle at the Haoshen Abyss also caused Ye Bai's strength to soar rapidly.

After absorbing a portion of the Qi luck from the angels, the Water Qilin Beast finally turned into the appearance of a Qilin, but it had not yet evolved; it needed to find the Water Spirit Pearl to evolve to the next stage.

At this time, it was quite fierce. As a member of the auspicious beasts, the Water Qilin's combat power had soared several times over.

【Name: Water Qilin Beast】

【Gender: Female】

【Attribute: Water/Light】

【Trait: Auspiciousness: By the side of the Water Qilin Beast, luck will become very good; it is a natural auspicious sign.】

【Level: Sixth Rank Peak】

【Skills: Water Dragon Bullet (Proficient): Stomping its four hooves on the water surface, it summons a water dragon-shaped Water Dragon Bullet to attack the opponent.

Chongta (Proficient): Using its four hooves to stomp toward the opponent, an Earthquake Wave slams into the opponent, causing the opponent to fall into a state of dizziness.

Water Healing (Proficient): Summons a stream of water to restore its own body; its strength is more formidable than imagined.

Water Cannon (Proficient): Sprays water cannons from its mouth to attack enemies.

Water Evasion (Proficient): Able to run easily on the water surface.】

【Evolution Route 1: Saint Water Qilin Beast: Absorb the essence of heaven and earth, seize Qi luck, and obtain the Water Spirit Pearl to evolve into a Saint Water Qilin Beast.】

According to the intelligence collected by the paper doll puppet, there were traces of the Water Spirit Pearl in the Western Desert. He planned to head to the Western Desert to take a look; it would of course be good if he could obtain the Water Spirit Pearl.

If not, Ye Bai was not very anxious; after all, a Qilin's lifespan is almost infinite.

Even if it did not evolve into a Saint Water Qilin Beast, Ye Bai would not have too many regrets.

"Ye Bai, there have been many things happening recently. You must be prepared to do the work of two people."

The Azure Dragon Marshal patted his shoulder to show encouragement.

He had no more room for promotion now.

He could only constantly improve himself and break through his current limitations.

After becoming one of the Big Dipper, Ye Bai became exceptionally busy, wishing he could split himself into several people to use.

Therefore, the Mirror Clone currently possessed by Lan Fa brought Ye Bai a great many benefits.

He can create a Clone, specifically for conducting experimental research.

Moreover, every time a Clone disappears, its memories return to Ye Bai's mind, just like the Shadow Clone Technique from Naruto.

"Paper Puppet, help me collect materials from the Western Desert; I will need them soon."

Ye Bai treats the Paper Puppet as an intelligence chief.

Naturally, he uses it whenever he can.

"I have already collected the information regarding the Western Desert."

"What appeared there is not a true Buddha, but someone whose nickname is Golden Body Buddha."

"He is an eighth-tier Pet Beast Master, but he provoked the Pillar of the Nation to his face, and the Pillar of the Nation slapped his golden body until it exploded."

"He can be considered the strongest power in the Western Desert."

"I have vaguely investigated that there is another power also in the Western Desert, but I have not yet tracked down any specific people."

"I will let you know in advance if there is any movement."

After hearing the Paper Puppet's words, Ye Bai took the materials and flipped through them.

"I have memorized these materials; which city are we going to next?"

"Which city is closest to the Golden Body Buddha?"

"There are only a few large cities in the Western Desert, and I have found that Tianxi City has become the base camp for the Golden Body Buddha."

"They condone the spread of an evil cult, advocating that everyone is equal and that one will ascend directly to the Western Paradise after death."

"The wealth swindled is all being carved up by the high-level officials of Tianxi City."

Hearing the situation reported by the Paper Puppet, Ye Bai realized that the situation in Tianxi was serious.

"Then I should not delay; let's hurry and set off."

The train started up with a clatter.

Yet on the train, Ye Bai encountered many people sitting cross-legged on their seats, chanting words under their breath.

"Sir, what exactly are those people doing?"

Ye Bai asked with great curiosity, while the Ice Glass Dragon coiled around Ye Bai's neck, emitting waves of cold air.

It has now also broken through to the seventh tier, and its strength is about the same as its mother's.

【Name: Ice Glass Dragon】

【Gender: Female】

【Level: Seventh Tier, First Level】

【Trait: Cold Current (In snowy environments, casting ice-attribute spells will significantly increase their power)】

【Skills: Absolute Freezing Qi (Proficient): Exhales a stream of extreme cold from the mouth, completely freezing the opponent.

Ice Dragon (Proficient): Uses cold air to condense into Ice Dragons to attack the opponent.

Ice Dragon Breath (Proficient): Emits Dragon Breath with extreme cold properties from the mouth; once hit by the Dragon Breath, it will 100% freeze into ice. The colder the place where the Dragon Breath is emitted, the greater the skill's power.

Dragon Roar (Proficient): Emits a deafening roar to intimidate the opponent, making the opponent shiver with fear.

Ice Dragon Claw (Mastered): Condenses Dragon Claws made of ice to attack the opponent.

Ice Transformation (Mastered): Freezes its own body into ice to resist the opponent's attacks.】

【Evolution Route: Frost Glass Dragon, evolution materials unknown】

【Description: The little princess of the Ice Glass Dragon clan; she is born with maxed-out ice and dragon talents, so she requires many resources to be nurtured.】

It was quite difficult for Ye Bai to raise the Ice Glass Dragon to the seventh tier.

The strength of the Ice Glass Dragon is much stronger than that of an average Pet Beast, but among Ye Bai's many Pet Beasts, it does not rank very high.

It is just that Pet Beasts like the Myriad-Change Butterfly are too powerful.

"Sigh, it's all because of that Buddha causing trouble; now they are promoting the idea of early ascension to paradise, so everyone is going to worship the Buddha."
