Chapter 32: Arrangements
Qu Yi returned to the Divine Realm of the Meteoric Domain.
The 19,000 members of Tianfeng Fort had all returned to the planet where they first arrived in the Divine Realm of the Meteoric Domain. Each of them sat quietly with smiles on their faces, clearly having obtained the Soul Beads they desired and were now striving to refine them.
One Soul Bead represented a set of laws. Refining a Soul Bead was not easy; it required time to fully absorb it—ranging from millions of years to over a hundred thousand years.
However, compared to other cultivators in the Divine Realm, the cultivation speed of these 19,000 people from Tianfeng Fort was truly extraordinary.
That Gongye Bo, though born into one of the eight imperial families, had spent hundreds of millions of years cultivating yet only reached the Divine Weapon stage—already an astonishing speed.
But the 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort could reach the Divine Weapon stage in just about a million years.
Qu Yi’s appearance immediately startled all the members of Tianfeng Fort who were in meditation. They all opened their eyes instantly, stood up quickly, and looked at Qu Yi with excitement.
Through the process of refining Soul Beads, these people had realized just how great an opportunity Qu Yi had brought them.
Reaching the Divine King realm was now within reach!
“Fort King,” the 19,000 people called out in unison.
Qu Yi nodded in satisfaction, glanced at everyone in Tianfeng Fort, and smiled, saying, “Brothers, have you all obtained the Soul Beads you wanted?”
“We have, Fort King,” they replied in unison once again.
Qu Yi smiled at them and said calmly, “Brothers, in less than a hundred thousand years, the once-every-100-million-years great battle among Divine Weapon-stage cultivators in the Divine Realm will begin. All Divine Weapon-stage cultivators from the eight regions of the Divine Realm will enter the Void Galaxy battlefield. That will be the time when we must fight desperately for survival. I hope those who haven’t yet reached the Divine Weapon stage will hurry up and achieve it. Then we can fight together against the cultivators from the other seven divine realms.”
Ah, wow, huh…
Hearing Qu Yi’s news, everyone in Tianfeng Fort let out expressions of surprise.
All Divine Weapon-stage cultivators in the Divine Realm were going to fight each other—what a grand battlefield, what a cruel experience! Many cultivators who had spent hundreds of millions of years cultivating would vanish forever at that time.
Reaching the Divine Realm did not mean immortality.
Of course, the 19,000 people of Tianfeng Fort, after hearing Qu Yi’s words, also felt sincere gratitude toward him from the bottom of their hearts. Without Qu Yi, they might have ended up in the Void Galaxy battlefield during the next great conflict and truly perished. But now, with this mysterious figure Qu Yi, everyone in Tianfeng Fort realized that their chances of survival had greatly increased.
“Fort King, I will definitely break through to the Divine Weapon stage.”
“Fort King, we won’t disappoint your expectations.”
“Fort King, we will definitely follow you to the Void Galaxy battlefield and show our prowess.”
……
In an instant, everyone in Tianfeng Fort shouted loudly with firm determination, revealing their unwavering resolve. At the same time, the fighting desire in each person’s eyes was filled with confidence and a clear murderous intent.
Qu Yi slowly nodded, waved his hand, and shouted, “Brothers, I will now take you back to the Divine Realm. I hope that over these 100,000 years, by the time you reach the Divine Weapon stage, you’ll be able to maximize the number of spiritual entities in your bodies. Once you break through to that stage and we enter the Void Galaxy battlefield, there will be endless life essence waiting for you, which will also help you maximize the number of spiritual entities in your bodies.”
“Yes, Fort King,” came excited voices.
Qu Yi nodded and immediately enclosed everyone from Tianfeng Fort inside the Dimension Sphere. Then, he took out the Boundless Star Map and quickly returned to the Savage Beast Mountains.
Before long, Qu Yi returned to the Hundred Forts Mountain Range with the Dimension Sphere and released everyone from Tianfeng Fort.
“Brothers, don’t hold back at all. Even if we have to waste all the divine crystals of Tianfeng Fort, we must maximize the number of spiritual entities in our bodies,” Qu Yi shouted from the air after releasing them.
Initially, Qu Yi had given Tianfeng Fort 900,000 divine artifacts at the Divine Human stage, enough for these 19,000 people to have sufficient divine crystals to maximize the number of spiritual entities in their bodies.
“Thank you, Fort King,” shouted the 19,000 people in unison.
Qu Yi smiled briefly before disappearing.
※※※
Inside the Dimension Sphere, Qu Yi remained seated in the Yuan Tai Yun Ling Array, continuing to increase the number of the four types of fused spiritual entities in his body.
After about a hundred years, the number of each of these four types of fused spiritual entities in Qu Yi’s body increased by several hundred, after which he left the Dimension Sphere.
At this point, Qu Yi changed his appearance and entered Shop No. 1 of the Fang Qi Pavilion.
“Fellow cultivator, our Fangqi Pavilion has an abundance of divine artifacts of superior quality. If you need any, feel free to take a look and choose.” Fang Mo greeted politely upon seeing someone enter, not realizing it was Qu Yi at all.
Qu Yi smiled faintly before sending a mental message: “Fang Mo, keep it quiet. It’s me, Qu Yi. I need to enter the resting room in the back yard to set up a formation. Keep an eye out so no one enters.”
Without giving Fang Mo a chance to respond, Qu Yi immediately headed to the back yard.
Fang Mo stood there for a while, blinked, and exhaled softly before coming back to his senses. Though he didn’t understand why Qu Yi wanted to change his appearance, he knew there must be a reason, so he didn’t ask further.
Once in the back yard room, Qu Yi began setting up the “Confusing Flower Formation” right away, and it wasn’t long before he completed it. Then, he placed a space-time formation in the center of the Confusing Flower Formation.
Soon after, Qu Yi emerged from the room and returned to the shop. Staring at Fang Mo, he sent another mental message: “Fang Mo, close the shop for now. I’ll take you to a place.”
Hearing this, Fang Mo didn’t hesitate. He smiled at the customers in the shop and said, “Fellow cultivators, I’ve just received news from the pavilion master. Our Fangqi Pavilion needs to close for a while. I’m sorry, please leave calmly.”
“What’s the reason? We were enjoying ourselves, and now it has to close?”
“The Fangqi Pavilion has become too arrogant lately.”
“Hmph, refusing business—how generous of you. We’ll never buy from Fangqi Pavilion again.”
……
In an instant, hundreds of customers in the shop started shouting angrily, left in displeasure, and stormed out.
Fang Mo could only force a smile. After seeing off all the customers and closing the shop, he rushed to the back yard room, where he found Qu Yi smiling at him.
“Master Qu Yi, all the customers have left,” Fang Mo said cheerfully.
“Great. Now I’ll take you to a place that will surely surprise you,” Qu Yi said happily before stepping into the space-time formation.
Fang Mo watched the various formation patterns in the room—vibrant colors and dazzling lights—realizing that Qu Yi had set up some amazing formations there. Without further thought, he followed Qu Yi into the space-time formation and immediately sensed the uniqueness of the surrounding space.
“Master Qu Yi, this formation resembles a space-time array,” Fang Mo said, recalling having traveled via a space-time array before and noticing the atmosphere in this space was similar to it.
“That’s indeed a space-time array,” Qu Yi laughed heartily.
Fang Mo was stunned—did Master Qu Yi also know how to set up a space-time array?
Qu Yi activated the array, and a transparent spatial dome enveloped him and Fang Mo. With a flash of white light, the two disappeared.
The next moment, they reappeared in a cave behind the Beast Village.
“Alright, we’ve arrived,” Qu Yi said with a smile as he stepped out of the space-time array.
It was a space-time array that Qu Yi had prepared long ago. Placing it behind the mountain was to prevent the villagers of the Beast Village from discovering it, while also allowing Fang Mo to quickly reach the village from Fire Treasure Town.
Fang Mo was confused, stepping out of the array in a daze, wondering how Qu Yi could have set up such an array.
“What are you staring at? Hurry up and follow me. Oh, you’re still at the Divine Being stage and can’t fly. Never mind, I’ll summon a Fierce Green Goose—it will be under your control from now on.” Qu Yi left the cave and called out loudly.
Sure enough, at his command, a Fierce Green Goose appeared in the sky.
Qu Yi then asked Fang Mo to project his consciousness and imprint a soul mark in the goose’s soul, making Fang Mo its master.
“Let’s go to where I used to live,” Qu Yi laughed as he flew straight toward the Stone Fortress of the Three Tripods Gate in the Beast Village.
Fang Mo rode on the Fierce Green Goose, closely following behind.
It wasn’t long before Qu Yi returned to his stone fortress, where he was immediately spotted by the villagers of the Beast Village.
In no time, all ten thousand villagers gathered in front of the fortress. Of course, they also saw the newcomer, Fang Mo, and immediately realized he was the alchemist from the Fang Qi Pavilion that Qu Yi had mentioned before.
Qu Yi patted Fang Mo’s shoulder and said, “Villagers, this is a highly skilled alchemist from the Fang Qi Pavilion—Master Fang Mo. From now on, he will oversee your alchemy process. You just need to hand him the crafted artifacts. He’ll also provide one million divine crystals for each artifact.”
Hearing this, Fang Mo was almost shocked into jumping up—when had he become a master alchemist? He couldn’t even craft divine artifacts at the Divine Being stage. Qu Yi’s introduction was really exaggerated.
The villagers of the Beast Village had no idea Fang Mo’s true capabilities. Hearing Qu Yi’s words, they immediately regarded him as a master alchemist.
“Master Fangmo, welcome to Beast Village.” Ten thousand villagers immediately cheered. Fangmo could only force a smile.
