Chapter 466: Chapter 465: Taking the Initiative to Pressurize
This eting would determine the relationship between the Heavenly King Hall, the European Church Court, and the Vampire Clan. The European Church Court appeared righteous on the surface, but they were imnsely corrupt behind the scenes. Initially, Ye Fan had thought he could rely on the Vampire Clan, but after making contact, he realized that they were hardly any better than the European Church Court.
In fact, Ye Fan now realized he had completely ssed things up with both the Vampire Clan and the European Church Court. He had thought he could form an alliance with the Vampire Clan, but they proved to be arrogantly aloof.
This really is a matter of strength. If I were to break through to the Reincarnation Realm, I’d like to see if that old fellow Cain would still dare to act so superior in my presence. Of course, if I actually broke through to the Reincarnation Realm, I wouldn’t need to ally with anyone. My power alone would be enough to suppress the major factions. It seems that breaking through is the key. If you’re not strong enough, no one will give you a second look. But if you are powerful enough, it’s no longer a matter of whether they give you a second look.
At that mont, Nangong, Tian Can, Di Que, Black Fog, and several other newly-risen, high-level mbers of the Heavenly King Hall gathered around Ye Fan. In total, there were about a dozen people, all of whom were at the King Level or higher. As the scale of their operations expanded, Ye Fan knew that ordinary martial artists could no longer make much of a difference.
However, the current situation in the Heavenly King Hall was that Nangong had broken through to the Supre Level, and Black Fog was just a step away from it. The rest were at the Emperor and King Levels. The Hall’s overall advancent this ti had not been very successful, but Ye Fan understood. As the cultivation realms grew higher, the speed of advancent would inevitably slow down.
Ye Fan spoke up, "I’ve gathered you all today for one reason: to discuss the future direction of our Heavenly King Hall! I can tell you all clearly that neither the Vampire Clan nor the European Church Court are good people! We have already beco mortal enemies with the European Church Court! The final battle between the Vampire Clan and the European Church Court should be happening soon; both sides are preparing for war! I called this eting to discuss with all of you how we should establish ourselves in the Divine Land. We are all part of the Divine Land, and protecting the Divine Land Martial World is our duty and responsibility!"
Hearing this, the others nodded. In this era, allies were the least reliable, especially non-human factions—a fact they had learned through bitter experience.
Nangong was the first to speak. "Since they can’t be relied upon, then we should stand alone in the Divine Land and have nothing to do with them!"
"Right!" the others agreed.
"Exactly," Ye Fan said. "That’s precisely what I was thinking. How many spiritual materials do we have left in the Heavenly King Hall?"
Ye Fan had a penchant for collecting things, so he had ordered the Heavenly King Hall to gather spiritual materials at any cost from a very early stage. Spiritual materials were essential supplies for any martial artist.
Tian Can reported, "Chief, our current supply of spiritual materials is enough to support five or six more transformations!"
The Heavenly King Hall underwent a major transformation almost every two years. To have enough resources for five or six more ant their stockpile was substantial.
"Very good," Ye Fan declared. "Take out half of it. I want the Heavenly King Hall to undergo a rapid transformation!"
This was a montous decision. While it would indeed bring about a rapid transformation, it ca at a great cost—more than a third of the dicinal potency would be wasted. But at this point, Ye Fan was no longer concerned with waste or conservation. His choices were limited, and ti was running out.
"Alright," the high-level mbers of the Heavenly King Hall agreed. They understood the urgency of the situation and did not object.
Ye Fan continued, "The great war between the European Church Court and the Vampire Clan is imminent! We must hasten our transformation. Although the Vampire Clan’s actions have been a great disappointnt, we have no choice but to rely on them for now. When the war begins, we must even lend them our aid.
"This is because they are an important stepping stone in the fight against the European Church Court. If they fall, it ans we will have to face the European Church Court alone!
"Therefore, we must complete our transformation before the great battle. I’m giving everyone one month. Work day and night to seek your breakthroughs. Don’t worry about the supply of spiritual materials!"
His words made several of them frown. A month was undoubtedly not enough ti, but there is no motivation without pressure. Only under such suffocating stress could they hope to grow faster.
"Yes!" the top leaders nodded, steeling themselves for the task.
"Of course, it’s not just you who will be transforming this ti," Ye Fan added. "I will be transforming as well!"
"Is the Chief preparing to challenge the Reincarnation Realm?" Nangong asked in shock.
"That’s right. I need to put so pressure on myself, too. My body is immortal, and my Body Refinent cultivation has already reached the Reincarnation Realm, but I’m still clueless when it cos to the Martial Arts Realm. So, I’ll see you all back at the Heavenly King Hall in one month!"
Hearing that Ye Fan was seeking yet another breakthrough, they were all in disbelief. But there was nothing they could do except sigh at what a freak their leader was. A cultivation speed like his was probably one in ten thousand.
Everyone departed with their own concerns to prepare for the transformation.
anwhile, Ye Fan returned to his villa. It was only then that he learned Su Qingxue had gone to the Fla Valley. He knew his wife was also about to have a breakthrough, so he imdiately set off for Shangjing.
It had been a long ti since he had last visited Shangjing. This ti, he wasn’t there to see his family or his won. He was there mainly to et Zhan Xiong.
In a teahouse, Zhan Xiong greeted him, "I knew you would co looking for !"
"Senior!" Ye Fan said respectfully.
Although his strength now far surpassed Zhan Xiong’s, he still respected him greatly. Zhan Xiong had been the first person to accept his identity and the first of the Divine Land’s factions to accommodate the Heavenly King Hall. Naturally, he felt a great deal of gratitude towards Zhan Xiong.
Zhan Xiong asked, "What do you want to know this ti?"
Communicating with a sharp mind like his was always straightforward. Ye Fan said imdiately, "Senior, I want to et Zhuang Zhou!"
Zhuang Zhou is Zhan Xiong’s master, and he definitely knows more about the Divine Race. This thought made him even more eager to et the man.
"So, you want to et my master," Zhan Xiong said.
"Yes!" Ye Fan nodded.
Zhan Xiong continued, "My master once told
that if you ca looking for him one day, I was to give you this." He handed a brocade pouch to Ye Fan.
The air of mystery was almost comical, and Ye Fan was left speechless. Nevertheless, he opened the pouch, only to be dumbfounded by its contents. He had never even heard of the places marked on the map inside.
With a sigh of resignation, Ye Fan unfolded the map completely. "Senior, what are these places? I’ve never heard of them!"
Zhan Xiong stared at the map for a long while before replying, "Brother Ye, this is a very ancient map, so it’s no wonder you’re unfamiliar with it. These places existed long ago, but their nas are no longer in use. However, I can have soone create an updated version for you!"
"That would be much appreciated, Senior!" Ye Fan said, cupping his fists.
Zhan Xiong smiled. "It’s a small matter. No need to be so polite."
He imdiately summoned a subordinate, handed him the map, and ordered, "Get this done quickly!"
"Yes!" his subordinate replied before heading off to handle the task.
Then, he turned back to Ye Fan and asked, "Brother Ye, what level has your cultivation reached?"
He felt a bit ashad asking this. He had once held a slight edge over Ye Fan in terms of strength, but now, Ye Fan had left him in the dust.
Ye Fan simply stated, "My body is immortal."
