Chapter 1065: Assume Command of the Void Palace! Amethys

"So easily enslaved a Rank 9 Mid-Grade Law Saint?"

Watching Zhang Hengyang's sudden change in attitude, Su Qingli couldn't help but whisper in astonishment.

You have to know,

Zhang Hengyang hadn't suffered any injury; his spiritual force was at its peak.

"My spiritual force is far stronger than his, and he had no defenses against spiritual intrusion—it was simple to enslave him."

Xu Jingming smiled, then turned to Zhang Hengyang and ordered: "From now on, devote yourself fully to assisting Ling Shuang."

"But outwardly, you must still pretend you're merely subservient, forced into this position."

Spiritual techniques are my trump card; unless absolutely necessary, it's better not to expose them.

Moreover, enslavement techniques are highly controversial.

"Understood."

Zhang Hengyang nodded slightly, then handed over a space ring, bowing respectfully: "These are the resources I extracted from the palace's warehouse."

"I took roughly 70% of the resources—all of them are here."

"So much?" Ling Shuang's eyebrows lifted.

If Zhang Hengyang had truly escaped, it would have been a massive loss.

"Sister Shuang, take them first. Later, we can pick out any resources in the Void Palace useful to us."

"Alright." Ling Shuang nodded slightly.

As the current mistress of the Void Palace, she naturally had full authority to allocate its warehouse resources.

Of course, she would take only what she needed, not act as recklessly as Zhang Hengyang had.

"Since Zhang Hengyang is now ours, it's time for you, Sister Shuang, to formally assume the position of Void Palace Mistress."

Xu Jingming smiled at Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang understood at once and called in Yi Lingxiu and Robert, who had been waiting outside.

"Hail, Mistress."

The two bowed deeply upon entering.

Zhang Hengyang quickly adjusted his demeanor, stepping forward: "Sister, Brother, I was blinded by greed."

Master Ximan did indeed appoint Little Sister as the new Mistress and ordered me to assist her fully."

"I was blinded by profit, but now I recognize my error and have earned Little Sister's forgiveness—I beg your understanding!"

Yi Lingxiu and Robert noticed Zhang Hengyang's apology, yet his expression still held faint resentment.

Then again, who wouldn't be bitter after being stripped of the Mistress's position?

But with Ling Shuang and Xu Jingming present, this senior brother would never have another chance.

Realizing this, both smiled: "Senior Brother, no need for formalities—if Master were still here, he'd forgive you too."

"Your new position remains Grand Hierophant, responsible for assisting me in managing the Void Palace."

Ling Shuang spoke up at the right moment.

"Good, good, excellent—everyone is pleased!" Yi Lingxiu and Robert both smiled.

Unlike Ling Shuang, they had spent decades alongside Zhang Hengyang; some fraternal bonds remained, and they naturally didn't wish him harm.

To retain the position of Grand Hierophant was already the best possible outcome.

"Since everyone agrees I shall assume the position of Void Palace Mistress, we must act without delay—tonight, summon the high-ranking officials to announce it."

"Also, regarding the Void Palace's future administration and..."

Ling Shuang stood before the three, her clear voice echoing through the VIP hall.

As the former vice-president of the Demon Capital University, she naturally knew how to govern a faction—her words were precise and authoritative, prompting nods from Yi Lingxiu and the others.

"Thus, the Void Palace is now fully under our control."

Xu Jingming's gaze flickered slightly from his seat.

According to Amethys's prediction, the Magma Colossus will descend within four years.

Before then, he must prepare for everything—even failure.

The Void Palace's inhabitants are all spatial ability users; even if we ultimately fail, we can carve out hidden realms and flee into the spatial chaos to preserve our lives.

This is precisely why I was willing to confront Lei Ding and seize the Void Palace...

Su Qingli accompanied Ling Shuang in handling the succession matters within the Void Palace, while Xu Jingming went alone to Island No. 1.

In the villa's living room, Amethys sat elegantly on the sofa.

She was tall and statuesque, her curves graceful and alluring, her slender waist easily encircled—delicate yet radiating resilient strength.

Her long, straight legs faintly revealed themselves beneath the pale golden Jinsezong Sect robe.

Her full chest rose and fell subtly beneath the robe, exuding the allure of a mature woman.

As she lowered her head, absorbed in the book in her hands, her entire aura appeared noble and sacred.

That sacred radiance seemed to emanate from every inch of her skin, deterring any casual desecration.

Yet Xu Jingming inexplicably recalled the flawless, pure female form he had glimpsed when activating the Perfect-Level Heaven's Eye...

"Teacher, I've come."

Xu Jingming exhaled softly, shaking off his distractions.

"Unleash your full spiritual force. Let me see it."

Amethys lifted her head slightly, her pale golden eyes fixing upon him.

"Yes."

Xu Jingming did not hesitate—a torrent of spiritual force surged forth!

Whoosh—

In an instant, the entire villa living room was filled with a heavy pressure, as if a thunder calamity was about to strike!

"The SSS-grade Spirit Refinement Art, 'Lei Hai Guan Xiang Fa,' of the supreme being of the First Civilization, Lei Shen, is truly extraordinary."

In Aimer's melodious voice, a hint of awe could be faintly heard: "Xu Jingming, your mental strength has already exceeded 1.9 million Hz."

You have to know, when she initially broke through to the ninth rank mid-level, the spiritual power intensity she possessed was only 1.6 million hertz!

Xu Jingming surpasses her by 300,000 Hz!

This clearly shows that Xu Jingming's potential is even higher than hers!

"This is the SSR-grade Spirit Refinement Art I mentioned earlier. Your mental strength has reached the threshold—I will now give you the original scripture."

Aimer handed the book over.

Xu Jingming took it and looked.

The entire scripture was written on paper made of an unknown material, appearing extremely ancient.

On the cover, in bold, swirling characters, were written: "Xing Chen Guan Xiang Fa."

These characters were written in a script Xu Jingming had never seen before, yet he understood them instantly.

Clearly, some form of mental power was embedded within them.

"The 'Xing Chen Guan Xiang Fa' has ten levels, but since this is an incomplete scripture, the final three levels are missing."

"But don't worry— the first seven levels are more than enough to carry you to the Supreme Being stage."

"After all, even I have only reached the sixth level so far."

Aimer spoke softly.

"This is the SSR-grade Spirit Refinement Art."

Xu Jingming's eyes sparkled with delight, then he turned to Aimer with curiosity: "Teacher, what is your current mental strength?"

"Instruments can no longer precisely measure the vital energy or mental strength of a Supreme Being. But I estimate it to be around twenty million Hz," Aimer replied.

"Twenty million?" Xu Jingming was internally stunned.

His mental strength was only 1.92 million Hz—ten times weaker than Aimer's!
