NOVPUBHaving suffered such a significant loss at the hands of Mo Rubing and the Tianxuan Mirror, it was absolutely impossible that Li Fan had no intention of retaliation.
However, as one of the Law Kings of the Mystic Sky Sect, Mo Rubing’s abilities are too unfathomable. He even infiltrated the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance headquarters as if entering a land with no one present.
Although he died mysteriously in the Ghost Realm later on, Li Fan did not now possess the absolute confidence to subdue him.
Without any fundamental conflict of interest for the time being, Li Fan had no plans to provoke him in this life.
"Perhaps I can secretly learn how the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance deals with this Law King of the Mystic Sky Sect."
According to the normal historical trajectory, Mo Rubing would be excavated by the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance without regaining consciousness.
Perhaps within the Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance, there are still some special methods to deal with members of the Mystic Sky Sect. With a preemptive strike, Mo Rubing might indeed have lost the power to resist.
By then, Li Fan could imitate their methods and continue to use them on Mo Rubing in the future.
But if Mo Rubing pretended to be subdued like in his 119th life, actually using the opportunity to infiltrate…
Then, without a definite method to counter him, Li Fan would not take the initiative to make an enemy out of Mo Rubing.
As for the Tianxuan Mirror.
Carrying the source of the Tianxuan Mirror, I have already secured an invincible position.
Now, I have also mastered a method to peer into its interior...
Heaven bestows this opportunity, and to not take it is to invite misfortune upon myself!
Thoughts racing, Li Fan’s spirit consciousness began to ponder swiftly.
"The Ten Thousand Immortal Alliance is searching through the Sect Ruins for Mo Rubing in order to promote the final method of restraining the Tianxuan Mirror. Behind this must be the silent propulsion of the Mirror Handlers."
"Cang, Fu, heh heh. Neither of these two is a pushover."
"However, this also presents an opportunity for me."
His thoughts stirring, Li Fan transformed into a wisp of light and teleported into the Immeasurable Mirror.
Inside, he continued to build Array Techniques to solidify control.
While waiting for Sun Luyuan to return to the secret room, he also took the opportunity to study the remnants of the Immortal-level Great Array within the Immeasurable Mirror.
…
In Da Qi, the Holy Capital.
In this period of time, as Wang Xuanba tirelessly traveled all over the Xuanhuang Mainland,
Aside from Yin Shangren, Ou Daozi and his son, Ximen Yu, and the other "Stars of Xuan Huang" selected by Li Ping were all coaxed into Sacred Dynasty Daqi by Wang Xuanba, using the rhetoric taught by the Emperor.
Of course, not everyone on this list was persuaded. Some didn’t just refuse the invitation, but even killed Wang Xuanba’s clone.
Wang Xuanba wasn’t annoyed; he just noted their names and reported them to the Emperor.
Then he bypassed them and went to invite the next person.
After the Stars of Xuan Huang arrived in Da Qi, with Li Ping personally receiving them, like Yin Shangren, they all settled down within the Sacred Dynasty.
They each got their own enterprise.
For instance, Ximen Yu, to whom Li Ping promised to help further his research into the power of the Leylines and even divulged some important news about the Leyline Ancient Tree.
For instance, Ou Daozi, who would be responsible for the construction of the new Holy Capital in Da Qi. And moving forward, every small world conquered by the Sacred Dynasty would be redesigned by Ou Daozi as the chief planning architect.
More importantly, Li Ping saw at a glance that Ou Shangtian possessed Kun-Qian Skeletal Hand and the Book of Thousand Deaths, two strange objects. Then he took Ou Shangtian as his personal disciple.
From Li Ping, Ou Shangtian did not feel a trace of malice.
Furthermore, the interesting secrets of the Immortal Cultivation World and the many profound principles of the Tao discussed by the Emperor genuinely captivated the young Ou Shangtian.
So, he willingly became a disciple.
In one’s life, one seeks fame, profit, or peace of mind.
And Li Ping, the Saint Emperor, could satisfy all of these for them.
As for those who did not respond to the summons...
Their outcome had already been decided in Li Ping’s heart.
Under the Holy Emperor.
Deeper than even the Underground Secret Chamber of Yin Shangren.
The secret intelligence agency known as the Monitoring Department was gradually being established.
As the central node of the Formation of Ten Thousand Spirits of Heaven and Earth, everything within the Miniature World was under surveillnce, nothing escaping its watchful gaze.
Waiting for the day when the Sacred Dynasty Daqi would open the path of conquest, to successively bring other Miniature Worlds into its territory. They, too, would be strictly monitored by the Monitoring Department.
But that was not all.
In the foresight of Li Ping, the Monitoring Department’s purview was not only limited to those Miniature Worlds.
Even the Xuanhuang Mainland was to be included.
Calamity Transcendence Sect’s paper effigies, Tianxuan Mirror...
With these as a foundation, establishing a rough intelligence system was no difficult feat.
Li Ping would personally select the secret agents of the Monitoring Department.
The Heavenly and Earthly Changes brought about by the "Heaven opens its favor, and the stars descend to the mortal realm" had already begun to show their preliminary impacts on the Da Qi Miniature World. Among the infants recently born in the dynasty, there were not a few who showed supernatural abilities from birth.
With the Holy Doctor’s House spread across the lands, Li Ping would immediately perceive the physique of every newborn child.
From a young age, they would receive personal training from Li Ping. As they grew up, they would either go to the Monitoring Department or participate in the new method development plan of Yin Shangren...
Putting everything to its best use.
The growth of the empire’s talents required time, as did the growth of the empire itself.
The Sacred Dynasty Daqi was developing at an extraordinary pace, but what currently attracted most attention within the dynasty was a grand competition.
A fishing competition.
Ordered personally by the Emperor, anyone across the country interested in fishing could participate, regardless of prior experience.
Local areas would first determine their winners, who would then travel to the Holy Capital for the final contest.
The Emperor would also be present at that time to share in the festivities with the people.
A rich reward awaited the top hundred competitors of the grand event, enough to ensure a comfortable life for an average family for generations.
And for those who performed exceptionally well in the competition, it was said there would be unique additional rewards from the Emperor himself.
The news had been spread for half a month, attracting numerous participants.
If not for the assistance of the Holy Dynasty’s Immortal Masters in every region, it’s feared that all the fish in the rivers might have been caught, resulting in the awkward situation of no fish to be fished.
Not only the common folk but also the disciples of the Emperor were going to participate.
This undoubtedly further fueled people’s enthusiasm.
It’s common knowledge that the Emperor had affirmed, not just once in public, that he neither has nor will have any offspring.
The Emperor had no heirs.
His disciples were unquestionably the heirs to the Sacred Dynasty.
If one could catch the Emperor’s eye in the fishing competition and be taken as a true disciple...
The fish would leap over the Dragon Gate today!
With various rumors stirring people’s motivations, the commonfolk of Da Qi had become almost fanatical about "fishing," to the point where it was considered even more important than studying or cultivating immortality.
And all of this, Li Ping naturally noticed.
The reason he let it happen and even added fuel to the fire was, of course, the Supreme Treasure Fishing Pond.
This Immortal Instrument was an existence that even transcended the Xuanhuang World.
It was filled with countless opportunities.
It could even be hiding the key to his ultimate breakthrough.
An opportunity to obtain a multitude of divine objects at no cost was not something he would pass up.
Merely fishing out a single treasure from it could potentially greatly enhance the military strength of the Sacred Dynasty.
