Chapter 308 - 306: Effortless Domination
Chapter 308: Chapter 306: Effortless Domination
By the time the research on species attributes was complete, it was already evening.
After that, Lin You also tried putting the species into his Origin Space, and finally came to a conclusion.
His Origin Space was still too small!
With a range of only a hundred meters in radius, it was okay for small-sized species, but for large species like the Ancient War Tree and Cyan Rattan, it was a bit challenging.
Especially the main body of the Cyan Rattan, even if all the vines were retracted, it could barely fit inside.
It seems that to easily carry all species outside, he’ll need to continue expanding the space.
“Let’s check out the Holy Sanctuary tomorrow.”
Glancing at the sky outside, Lin You didn’t do anything else, instead shutting down the interface and going into the treehouse.
During this period, he had been busy with upgrading the territory, so he needed a good rest.
…
Early the next morning.
As soon as the sky brightened, Lin You got up and headed to the Holy Sanctuary to check the situation there.
And not long after he left.
The tranquility of Yellow Sand City was broken by caravan after caravan.
Within a radius of three hundred miles around Yellow Sand City, all the large and small cities sent envoys over, gathering on the clearing outside the forest.
Such a massive gathering immediately caught the attention of passing traders and cultivators, who stopped and whispered among themselves.
“Is this Yellow Sand City?”
In the crowd, a Tier Six Lord looked around, with an expression of amazement on his face.
Especially when he saw the bustling commercial area outside the forest and the magic energy airships coming and going in the sky, he was even more shocked.
This person was the lord of Linchuan City, more than two hundred kilometers away from Yellow Sand City.
Previously, due to the fall of the Tier Seven Lord of Desolate Ancient City, he lost his backing and also learned about Lin You.
However, as Yellow Sand City was relatively far from him, he didn’t pay much attention to it.
But just yesterday, he suddenly received news of the Yellow Sand City Lord upgrading to Tier Eight, which gave him a great shock.
Unable to sit still, he set off almost before dawn, personally leading his team over.
Beside him, other lords from different cities also visited personally, without exception, to pay their respects to the newly minted Tier Eight Lord.
“Brother Meng, we’ve heard that your Shuangye City has a lot of interactions with Yellow Sand City. When we meet, you must give us some pointers.”
In the crowd, Meng Qing’an, the lord of Shuangye City, was surrounded by other lords, who chattered.
“Haha, no problem, no problem. I am an old acquaintance of that one, and I know a bit about his temperament. Just be polite when you meet him.”
At this time, Meng Qing’an was proud and full of smiles.
Because his Shuangye City was adjacent to Yellow Sand City, they frequently interacted.
This instantly made him a target for these lords to curry favor with, seeking to rely on him to improve relations with Yellow Sand City.
Seeing these lords who usually ignored him being so polite, Meng Qing’an couldn’t help but admire his own wisdom.
If he hadn’t expressed his stance early on and established a relationship with the Yellow Sand City Lord, how could he enjoy his current esteemed position?
It can be said that it’s thanks to Yellow Sand City’s influence that these lords treated him in this manner.
“Younger Brother Meng, the batch of grain you wanted a few days ago was provided by old me. Don’t forget your old brother’s kindness.”
Next to him, an elderly lord promptly added.
“Rest assured, if it weren’t for the grain old brother provided, I wouldn’t be able to get this close to Yellow Sand City. I’ll certainly speak well of old brother.”
Meng Qing’an replied, his smile broadening even more.
Not long after, Xue Changgui appeared with a team of guards outside the forest, catching the attention of all the lords.
“That’s Manager Xue from Yellow Sand City.”
Meng Qing’an quietly reminded beside them.
Afraid that the lords might be disrespectful due to Xue Changgui’s strength and implicate him, he quickly continued:
“He’s been by the Yellow Sand City Lord’s side for a long time, managing almost all affairs inside and outside Yellow Sand City, and is highly valued. Remember to be polite when you speak.”
The other lords were greatly alarmed at these words.
Managing all of Yellow Sand City’s affairs is equivalent to a Vice City Lord in status.
With a Tier Eight Lord backing them, none dared act rashly and they hurriedly went up to greet him.
Afterward.
They took their respective teams, followed Xue Changgui into the forest, and proceeded into Yellow Sand City, explaining their intentions along the way.
When they learned that Lin You was not present.
Though they were slightly disappointed, they didn’t dwell on it.
After all, their visit was merely to express their stance and perhaps form a connection.
Meeting with Lin You was not a priority.
As long as they showed their good intentions, that was sufficient.
Soon, they got their carriages settled and followed Xue Changgui into the city.
As they passed the training ground, a low exclamation suddenly arose from the group.
“Look quickly! That looks like… a Tier Nine Cultivator!”
At these words, everyone was astonished, looking toward the training ground.
Indeed, they saw a tall, old figure standing there, instructing the soldiers below in cultivation.
The aura emanating from his body was terrifying, far surpassing the Tier Seven species beside them by countless times!
Inside Yellow Sand City.
There was actually a Tier Nine Cultivator instructing others!?
It should be known.
They were mere Tier Six Lords, and even among those preparing to advance to Tier Seven, none dared claim they could escape from a Tier Nine Cultivator.
For such a powerhouse to appear in a territory that had just risen to Tier Eight left them in awe.
Only Meng Qing’an knew about this.
He spoke gravely: “Now you should understand why I advised you to present yourselves properly, right?”
The meaning is clear.
Even if the lord of Yellow Sand City is absent, the strength contained within this city is not something they can contend with!
From this point on, the last trace of doubt in the lords’ hearts was completely dispelled, and they dared not harbor any negligence.
Yet, they failed to notice.
Xue Changgui, who was leading the way at the front, had the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
Allowing these lords to witness the existence of Yue Daonan was no coincidence, but rather intentional on Xue’s part.
The purpose.
Was to intimidate them and make them understand the current strength foundation of Yellow Sand City.
Although Xue Changgui’s strength was not formidable, he was quite adept in this regard.
He certainly did not want to see anyone recklessly intruding upon Yellow Sand City in the future, displeasing the lord.
These are the tasks expected of them as subordinates.
Soon.
The lords, whose mindset had undergone a subtle transformation, were led into the city’s negotiation hall to begin discussing various matters.
…
On the other side.
Lin You was unaware that other lords had visited his territory.
At this moment, he had already teleported to the Holy Sanctuary.
Just as he had anticipated.
After the demon uprising, the Floating Islands suffered significant damage, even the streets below were affected to varying degrees.
However, compared to last time, it was slightly better, with no major losses incurred.
It seems this time quite a few high-tier lords came with the demon uprising.
Yet Lin You wondered how many Tier Ten demons had been successfully slain and if anyone procured Tier Ten crafting materials.
Of course,
Lin You wasn’t particularly focused on this.
Since he had heard from Mageon earlier that most Tier Ten blacksmiths of the dwarves had already been booked by those Tier Ten powerhouses, with substantial resources provided as deposits.
Cutting in line might displease those powerhouses.
Moreover, Mageon has been busy dealing with matters of the Dwarf Kingdom lately and couldn’t help him craft, even if he had materials, there wouldn’t be a way to craft them now.
He could only wait for some time before addressing it.
After all, he wasn’t greedy.
A Tier Ten life-saving necklace was enough.
“Let’s check out the Secret Realm first.”
Glancing around, Lin You locked his gaze on the Secret Realm Gate at the center of the platform and quickly walked over.
With the demon uprising over, Secret Realm ticket fees were reset, and a large number of lords began gathering around the portal again, shouting and recruiting teammates to pass through the Secret Realms, making it much more lively than usual.
Lin You walked through the crowd and entered the Secret Realm Gate, trying to see if he could enter the Tier Seven Secret Realm.
To his surprise, he could.
However, entering a Tier Seven Secret Realm meant that the ultimate land essence obtained would be Tier Seven, which probably wouldn’t appeal to many Tier Eight individuals wishing to waste their chance.
Unless they sought to test their luck to see if they could obtain an SSS-level secret treasure.
Or they aimed to challenge the highest difficulty rating of 1000 points and directly deal with the Lord Demon, but this wouldn’t be included in the rankings.
Since the difficulty ranking for Tier Eight Secret Realms ranges from 1000 points to 2000 points.
“Perfect, I can accumulate some magic energy and Tier Seven essence first.”
Looking at the interface options that popped up before him, Lin You pondered.
He didn’t need Tier Eight territory essence at the moment.
And the final boss of the highest difficulty of Tier Eight Secret Realm is a Tier Nine Lord Demon, which he couldn’t contend with at present.
Thus, tackling the highest difficulty Tier Seven was most suitable.
Each run, excluding the ticket, could yield about 4.5 million magic energy and 5 pieces of Tier Seven territory essence.
Just enough to upgrade Heaven-Devouring, Demon King Dragon and Demon Consort Dragon, and Dandelion.
After upgrading his territory, he had 5 pieces of Tier Seven essence left.
That meant he only needed to run the highest difficulty Tier Seven seven more times.
With this thought.
Lin You swiftly clicked, directly selecting the highest difficulty Tier Seven instance to teleport into, taking seven members of the royal family and a freshly created hundred Tier Eight species with him.
For him, the Tower of Sin at this time posed no difficulty.
Only the final Tier Eight Lord Demon was somewhat threatening.
Yet, it was merely a threat.
Because within the Secret Realm, the lord demon’s basic attributes are slightly lower than those in the Main Demon Plane.
Thus once the Secret Realm opened, he led the plant army to directly push through, layer by layer eliminating the demons inside, and accumulated experience for Heaven-Devouring along the way.
With the experience bonuses from the Forest Sage and Devouring Skill, the experience of Heaven-Devouring soared.
Its kills weren’t many.
But each corpse devoured earned it 1 point of experience.
Except for a few demons that died without leaving corpses, the others became its experience points.
For this, Lin You deliberately didn’t summon those two Tier Eight Devouring Flowers to prevent the corpses from resurrecting.
By the sixth layer, he heard a prompt in his ear.
[Congratulations, Devouring Flower · Heaven-Devouring has reached maximum experience.]
[Insufficient territory essence to upgrade, unable to proceed with upgrading temporarily.]
“Alright, next layer.”
After closing the attribute panel, Lin You commanded, leading the plant army to forge ahead to the next layer to clear the demons in the Tower of Sin.
Meanwhile, his magic energy was rapidly increasing.
