Chapter 614

After seeing off Li Yin and them, Shi Hao and the others returned to the City Lord's manor hall and began arranging the upcoming matters.

First is the garrison issue: the several major immortal cities of Qinghan Immortal Province must all station troops.

Arrange Jun Jian Tian to lead the Profound Armor Break Mountain Army to guard Qingping Immortal City; arrange Zhao Huang to lead the Scarlet Flame Burnt Heaven Lord to garrison Yongye Imperial Capital; General Fengyan then leads the Azure Thunder Subdue Abyss Army to garrison Lingyun Immortal Metropolis.

Next is the management issue of tens of thousands of subordinate immortal states and major powers; after discussion, it was decided: managed uniformly by our subordinate power, the Lingyun Immortal Dynasty; minor matters and arrangements can be decided independently, while major decisions and major changes are to be decided and issued by the City Lord's manor.

Next is the development issue: decided to launch an indefinite recruitment of talent plan in Qingping Immortal City; powerful loose cultivators and cultivation geniuses can come at any time for assessment; after passing the assessment, they can join the City Lord's manor's service.

Furthermore, some top-tier prodigies and powerhouses, after undergoing double assessment, can even be recommended to join the main sect, Qingyun Sect.

Finally, there is the tax and tribute issue; after all, wealth is indispensable for development and strengthening.

Shi Hao and the others, after thorough deliberation, decided to temporarily collect tribute at half the previous standard of the Bright God Kingdom.

The tax is levied at three percent, which can be said to be extremely conscientious, but don't think the low rate means little— the base is huge!

You might make a small profit, but I will never lose……

"Good! All matters have been arranged properly; next we should implement them. This is our first attempt, and also the sect's first attempt to fully control a continent's wealth, population, and power— we must strive to do well!"

"If done well, it will not only continuously reward the sect, but also allow us to continue completing the sect's tempering tasks— killing two birds with one stone."

Shi Hao spoke, and everyone replied: "Good! Let's work together, let's get started!"

At the same time, on the Yunxian Mountain of the Fengyun Mountain Range.

On the Qingyun Peak of the Qingyun Immortal Sect.

The summit's scenery is breathtaking, the climate pleasant, the immortal spiritual aura extremely rich; inhaling a breath is immensely comfortable, the gentle immortal breeze dances over the fields of blooming immortal flowers, their fragrance wafting— everything is tranquil and serene.

Feng Qingyang was leisurely reclining in a luxurious rocking chair, eyes closed, cultivating his spirit.

On the left side table lay many immortal fruits, fragrant; on the right side small stand, a pot of seven-colored chaos tea was steaming, this tea had just come from the system.

And the maid, Wanxia Shen Zhu Luo Wanxia, who had reached the Sixth Layer of the Divine Lord Realm, was personally brewing tea for him.

"Sect Master, although you have unlocked the Immortal Emperor Realm cultivation, you are still very hardworking, constantly concerned with all the sect's disciples and elders, as well as the myriad beings of the immortal realm— is this what they mean by 'the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility'?"

"I only hate that I cannot become strong quickly! Otherwise I could share the Sect Master's burden, letting him relax properly, be at ease."

"Sect Master, your tea is ready," Luo Wanxia said softly.

Who would have thought that as soon as her words fell, a cold mechanical tone sounded in Feng Qingyang's mind.

【「Ding, congratulations host for completing one of the sect's major dungeon tasks, the Qinghan Immortal Continent dungeon, rewards can be claimed. 」】

"Finally here!" Feng Qingyang, who had been meditating, instantly opened his eyes, "Just leave the tea here; the sect has an important matter to attend to, you may go down first; if anything comes up, the sect will summon you."

"Yes, Sect Master," Luo Wanxia replied before retiring and leaving.

After she left, Feng Qingyang opened the system interface.

【Lord: Feng Qingyang, Cultivation: Primordial Beginning Immortal Emperor】

【Exclusive Immortal Emperor Dao: All-Heavens Dao】

【Divine Abilities: Annihilation Heaven Divine Eye, Words Become Law, Invincible Golden Body (cooldown complete)】

【Techniques, Martial Skills, Immortal Treasures: too many to recall, omitted…】

【Current Main Quest: Sweep the Upper Three Realms, Honor the Vast Universe; Current Side Quest: Sect Major Dungeon Task (can view overall progress) Note: rewards available to claim】

【Sect: Qingyun Sect (Tier 4) Sect Value: 9.5 million/10 million, Prestige: 5 billion, Merit: 50 million】

New Feature: 'Assign Side Quest to Designated Person' (unused); 'Summon Card Fusion Upgrade' (unused); currently there are ten summon cards of each rank; 'All Things Binding Feature' (used): current three slots out of a maximum of five, bound to 'Shi Hao', 'Lin Bai', 'Hua Qingyu'.

"No need for more words, directly claim the reward."

【Ding, congratulations host for obtaining one Primordial Beginning Dao Pill.】

(A divine pill containing endless Dao, usable by a near-Immortal Emperor who has achieved the Ninth Layer Great Perfection of the Divine Lord to directly break through to the Primordial Beginning Chaos Immortal Emperor.)

【Congratulations host for obtaining sixty-six stalks of the exclusive Innate Divine Lord Immortal Emperor Leaves.】

(These innate immortal emperor leaves can be fused and refined; implanting them into a peak Immortal Venerable helps them perfectly and naturally break through the Divine Lord realm, unlike the Tenfold Break Emperor Pill, with no side effects.)

【Congratulations host for obtaining the All-Heavens Myriad Realms Gods' Battle Platform.】

(A battle platform specially for the sect's strong cultivators and high-realm elders to train and fight; within it, opponents of the same realm are randomly summoned from the All-Heavens Myriad Realms to fight you; after victory, there is a chance to obtain any random drop from the opponent; after accumulating a hundred wins, you will also receive the gods' blessings.)

"Another Primordial Beginning Dao Pill! Not bad, not bad!"

Feng Qingyang, upon seeing the first reward, nodded with great satisfaction.

Know that one Primordial Beginning Dao Pill is equivalent to a Chaos Immortal Emperor! The previous reward's pill hasn't been used yet, meaning that whenever you want, you can instantly craft two Immortal Emperors.

It had been unused because I was considering who to give it to first, but soon there will be no need to consider— if nothing unexpected happens, the Xianhong Dao Region will soon erupt in major turmoil.

"", it's better than the side-effect-laden Tenfold Break Emperor Pill, and can suffice.

"This third reward is quite interesting, the Gods' Battle Platform can randomly summon opponents of the same realm from the All-Heavens Myriad Realms to fight; winning gives a chance to obtain any of the opponent's drops."

"Does fighting monsters have a chance to explode rewards?"

"Just, system, what does 'anything' include?"

【Ding, reporting to Lord, the opponent's drops include but are not limited to: weapons, immortal treasures, spatial immortal rings, techniques, martial skills, cultivation… etc.】

"It can even drop cultivation? That's great!"

Feng Qingyang's eyes lit up; after the sect's high-realm elders and strong cultivators return to the sect, he will have them all try the Gods' Battle Platform.

My Qingyun Sect will sweep the All-Heavens Myriad Realms, unbeatable!

The little author today celebrates a birthday; this should be the third birthday since I started writing this book. Time really flies— unknowingly, two and a half years have passed… It's shameful that I've only written over a million words in two and a half years… Thanks to all the readers who support this book, thanks for the companionship.

Another year older, I am twenty-three; if the spring breeze holds pity for flowers, may I be allowed to be young again… Finally, I wish for the book's Qingyun Sect and its readers to prosper every day, riches upon riches!
