After returning to Time Sand City, Li Fuchen exited the city and after making sure no one was following him, he returned to the Deep Blue Plane by using the space-time passage.
Half a year went by and there wasn’t much of a change to the Deep Blue Plane. The demonic beasts and humans maintained a delicate balance.
But Li Fuchen knew that the balance wasn’t going to be there for long.
In the past, the demonic beasts were having the upper hand, but now, it was the humans that had the upper hand. Sooner or later, the humans would start a war and suppress the demonic beasts completely.
“Has the Incantation Martial Emperor not been found yet?”
During the recent years, Li Fuchen had been constantly looking for the Incantation Martial Emperor. There were times when he would even go and search personally, but the Incantation Martial Emperor had seemingly vanished without a trace of clues.
“Could he be dead?”
Li Fuchen was grateful to the Incantation Martial Emperor and was concerned about his life and death.
“Sword Saint Lord, the Incantation Martial Emperor is proficient in the incantation dao. But the one that chased after him was an emperor proficient in curse. Perhaps, they went to the Curse Temple and left the Deep Blue Plane.” The one speaking was a saint called Hundred Class Saint. He specialized in searching and had pledged his allegiance to Li Fuchen many years ago.
“Can you leave the Deep Blue Plane through the Curse Temple?” Li Fuchen was astonished.
“I’m not sure either. There is a rumor saying that there are other Curse Temples outside the Deep Blue Plane. In between the Curse Temples, it is said there is a space-time passage.”
“I see.” Li Fuchen nodded.
Li Fuchen was also apprehensive towards the Curse Temple.
From the information gathered, the Curse Heaven Lord was obviously not a regular heaven lord. Even if he wasn’t a city lord-level heaven lord, he would at least be formidable among the regular heaven lords.
As for the curse dao, it was very unpredictable and it wasn’t easy to deal with for regular people.
“I will make another trip to the Curse Temple after becoming a heaven lord.”
For the time being, Li Fuchen wasn’t planning to enter the Curse Temple. The Curse Temple was neither good nor evil, and he didn’t wish to risk his life.
Without absolute strength, his hopes of finding the Incantation Martial Emperor were slim.
“You have worked hard for these years. Here are 200 peak-grade spirit stones, use them first.” Li Fuchen tossed 200 peak-grade spirit stones to the Hundred Class Saint.
“Thank you Sword Saint Lord.” The Hundred Class Saint was overjoyed.
The Hundred Class Saint believed that his talent and potential were good, he had chances to reach the high-levels of Soul Merge Realm. However, he would need at least a few ten thousand years. But with a huge number of peak-grade spirit stones to cultivate, it would save at least 10 times or 100 times the time required.
“Everyone worked hard too.”
Apart from the Hundred Class Saint, there were several saints that pledged their allegiance to Li Fuchen. Li Fuchen rewarded them with 100 peak-grade spirit stones each.
“Thank you Sword Saint Lord.” All the saints were greatly delighted.
In the entire Deep Blue Plane, only Li Fuchen and a few of the incredible saint lords were able to casually give out 1000 peak-grade spirit stones. They felt that they would have brighter futures if they followed Li Fuchen.
“Sword Saint Lord, since we are all willing to follow you, why don’t you create a faction?” A saint suddenly proposed.
“That’s right, Sword Saint Lord. You might not need a faction for yourself, but your friends and family need a faction to protect them.” The Hundred Class Saint commented.
Li Fuchen responded by nodding.
After hearing what the Hundred Class Saint said, Li Fuchen felt that he had to create a faction too and the advantages were greater than the disadvantages.
But to create a faction, a formidable array was required. If one day he wasn’t around and his faction was trampled, he wouldn’t even be able to regret it.
In Li Fuchen’s opinion, the array had to be a top rate apex array. Meaning it should be a saint lord array. This level of array would be able to resist attacks from saint lords. To be more comprehensive, it should be able to trap and kill enemies.
Just like the half-god clan, Zhu Clan’s array. It was an extremely incredible saint lord-class array.
As for the supreme array, it was something that Li Fuchen didn’t even dare to think about. It was known that a universe city was enveloped by a supreme array.
It was recognized in the universe that if a city lord stayed in his own universe city, no one would be able to deal with the city lord, not even a half-god.
If Li Fuchen could set up a supreme array, even if he wasn’t around, not even multiple heaven lords would be able to trample his faction.
But to set up a supreme array, one would need to be a heaven lord first.
A supreme array was harder to comprehend than supreme martial arts.
“There is no need to hurry. I can create a faction in the future.”
Li Fuchen decided that the next time he visited the Ancient Stone Star Domain, he was going to ask the Night Devil Team to see if anyone was adept in arrays. If it was possible, he would invite the individual to the Deep Blue Plane and set up an array.
Of course, even if the other party was willing to come, Li Fuchen had to consider things thoroughly. It was a huge matter to expose the space-time passage.
…
East Unicorn Continent, Hundred Flower Valley.
This Hundred Flower Valley was set up by the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess. It wasn’t just beautiful, it even had a powerful array. Once the enemy entered the Hundred Flower Valley, it was the same as to enter a sea of flowers. One would get lost in it easily.
Of course, no one would be ignorant enough to barge into the Hundred Flower Valley.
Inside the Hundred Flower Valley, beside the clear river, Li Fuchen and the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess were drinking tea and having a conversation in a pavilion.
The tea was the Hundred Flower Tea and had an overwhelming fragrance. It also had the effects of calming the mind and increasing cultivation.
“Mingyue might not have a high grade of bone frame, but it is very pure. Once I bring her back to the Myriad Flower City, I will arrange for her to enter the Myriad Flower Pond. By then, she will become a saint with ease.”
The Hundred Flower Pond was famous even in the entire Crosswise River Star Domain and other star domains.
Because this Myriad Flower Pond was created by the Myriad Flower Lady after using a massive amount of resources.
It was said that the Myriad Flower Lady created the Myriad Flower Pond a few million years ago. After each millennium, she would invest huge numbers of heaven class flowers into the Myriad Flower Pond. After millions of years, it had accumulated thousands of times. The myriad flower essence qi was now extremely concentrated and would be able to produce a deep level of changes, allowing for heaven-defying transformation.
There were legends about the Myriad Flower Pond saying that if a regular person could smell the Myriad Flower Pond’s myriad flower essence qi, they would be able to live for 1000 years. If anyone could stay inside for one day, they would be able to live up to 10,000 years.
However, no ordinary person could get near the Myriad Flower Pond.
The Myriad Flower Pond would only open once every 500 years, furthermore, people with pure yin bone frame could enter.
The reason why the Jasper Flower Saint Lordess was able to become a Hundred Flower Guardian was because she possessed the pure yin bone frame. She had accepted Zhao Mingyue as her disciple because Zhao Mingyue possessed the pure yin bone frame too.
All Hundred Flower Guardians would actually search for disciples that possessed pure yin bone frames.
The Myriad Flower Lady was lazy to accept disciples with regular pure yin bone frames. Those that could be accepted as disciples by the Myriad Flower Lady would certainly have heaven-defying pure yin bone frames.
“It is Mingyue’s fortune to be accepted as senior’s disciple.”
Li Fuchen had heard of the Myriad Flower Pond and was genuinely happy for Zhao Mingyue.
This was an opportunity to rise up the heavens.
Without the Myriad Flower Pond, Zhao Mingyue would certainly need an extremely long time to become a saint.
Apart from having casual conversations, they exchanged about their individual daos too. The Jasper Flower Saint Lordess was also adept at the sword dao. The Myriad Flower Lady had a supreme sword art, the Myriad Flower Sword Art. It was all-embracing, and truly glamorous. It required the extraction of a huge amount of sword dao essence.
