Chapter 202 The enemy of my enemy is my friend
For Lin Hanzhou, he certainly couldn't just rush into breaking through to the seventh rank like that.
The foundation of this mere 100,000 square kilometers of "lower-grade" world is far from the limit of the worlds he can create.
It should be noted that he spent a full three drops of priceless "Source of the World" as the foundation for his creation of his own grotto-heaven world.
Three drops of supreme treasure of the seventh rank.
We should at least create a foundation that is equally "top-notch", right?
If in the end only one, the most worthless "inferior" world foundation is created.
Wouldn't he be losing a fortune?
It's like spending a huge sum of 10 billion yuan to buy a house; you definitely can't buy an unfinished building.
Therefore, Lin Hanzhou continued the tedious and lengthy process of pioneering the world.
His goal is clear: he will never break through the limits he can bear.
Anyway, there was no clear time limit for the mandatory tasks of the Samsara Palace, so he wasn't in a hurry to do them.
Moreover, the most basic task requirements were a piece of cake for him.
[Basic mission requirement: Kill ten peak sixth-tier cultivators from either the "Taiyan Holy Land" or "Blood Soul Holy Land" factions.]
[(Optional) Kill one seventh-tier cultivator from either the "Taiyan Holy Land" or "Blood Soul Holy Land" faction.]
The task is considered complete once any one of the tasks is completed.
Furthermore, the difficulty of this task will not increase as the reincarnated person's own strength increases.
This also allows Lin Hanzhou to focus on breaking through to the seventh level of cultivation here without any worries.
……
Just as Lin Hanzhou was in seclusion in the Phoenix Palace, deeply immersed in cultivation.
outside world.
Inside the core temple of the Central Region.
Huang Xi, with an air of supreme authority, sat regally at the head of the table.
Below them were dozens of seventh-tier Void Realm experts, each possessing an aura as vast and unfathomable as an abyss.
These people are now the most elite core forces among the local forces in the entire Tianyuan Realm.
Ye Gujue and Jiang Wuyai were among them.
However, they no longer possessed the arrogance and domineering presence they once had as the "strongest in the world."
Before this Lady Huang Xi, who was already at the peak of the seventh rank and also possessed the "Destiny," they could only stand respectfully with their hands at their sides, just like everyone else.
At this moment, they are holding a crucial emergency meeting.
The core issue discussed at the meeting was how to deal with the mysterious cultivators who had suddenly appeared in the Tianyuan Realm over the past fifty years, emerging like mushrooms after rain.
Those mysterious cultivators were of unknown origin, belonging neither to their native forces nor to the Taiyan Holy Land nor the Blood Soul Holy Land.
Their cultivation levels also varied, with the lowest being only at the fourth or fifth level.
At the highest level, there were even dozens of terrifying beings who had reached the seventh-order Void Realm.
Their favorite thing to do is to specifically target and kill people from the "Taiyan Holy Land" and the "Blood Soul Holy Land".
It was precisely because of the addition of these mysterious cultivators, who were like mercenaries, that these local cultivators, who were originally at a disadvantage, were able to finally hold their heads high in the short span of fifty years.
For fifty years, they have defeated those two holy lands one after another.
Currently, with the help of these mysterious people, they have successfully invaded the previously occupied Eastern and Western Regions and recovered a large amount of lost territory.
However, the attitude of the Central Region's top leadership towards the existence of these allies is not monolithic.
"Lord Huang Xi!"
An elderly man with white hair and beard, who looked highly respected, stepped forward first and spoke in a deep voice.
"I believe that we must eliminate these mysterious cultivators of unknown origin as soon as possible."
"Their origins are mysterious, and their actions are extremely eccentric and utterly unpredictable."
"It's very likely that, like those two damned holy sites, it's an extraterrestrial demon."
"Now, they might choose to cooperate with us temporarily because of their own interests."
"But who can guarantee they won't turn against us in the future? That they won't stab us in the back?"
His words were powerful and resonated with many in the audience, who agreed with his viewpoint.
I don't think so.
No sooner had the old man finished speaking than another mocking voice rang out in the hall.
The one who spoke was Ye Gujue, who had always disliked Elder Zhang.
"I believe we should continue with the current employment system."
"After all, it's easy to tell whether these mysterious people are friends or foes."
"These mysterious people are genuinely helping us kill those extraterrestrial demons; there's no denying that."
"and……"
Ye Gujue changed the subject abruptly and retorted without any politeness.
"Old Zhang, the reason you're so opposed is probably because you're still settling a personal score for your good-for-nothing grandson who's courting death, isn't it?"
"I heard that your precious grandson actually went and flirted with a beautiful female seventh-level expert, and then she slapped him to death."
"Doesn't he deserve it?!"
"You—! Ye Gujue! You're spouting nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Elder Zhang trembled with rage, pointed at Ye Gujue, and angrily rebuked him.
"Hmph! Even so! That doesn't change the fact that those people are lawless and disregard the rules of my Tianyuan Realm."
"As a member of the Tianyuan Realm, I absolutely cannot stand idly by and watch such a person continue to roam free!"
"Oh, that sounds nice."
Ye Gujue continued in a sarcastic tone.
"The way you say that makes it sound like your Zhang family is very law-abiding."
"I've heard that your equally good-for-nothing second grandson recently caused quite a few deaths..."
"Shut up! You...you're smearing me! Utter smear!"
It looked like the two were about to start fighting right there in the sacred council hall.
The other seventh-tier experts quickly stepped forward and separated the two.
Ultimately, unable to reach a conclusion through debate, the group could only resort to the most primitive and fair method—a vote!
This prompted all the seventh-tier powerhouses present to state their positions.
However, the final vote count was exactly the same on both sides.
It was exactly a tie.
In this situation, Huang Xi, who had remained silent throughout, held a particularly crucial vote.
All eyes were fixed on her.
Huang Xi's face remained expressionless; she simply uttered two words:
"maintain."
That is, to maintain the current system.
She knew the true origins of those mysterious people better than anyone else present.
They were the reincarnated beings from the Samsara Palace.
These are beings from different worlds, with all sorts of bizarre methods.
When there is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two parties, the best approach is not to offend them easily.
Moreover, the goal of all those reincarnated individuals is now those two holy lands.
As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.
She understood this principle very well.
