222: World Projection

Ling Li smiled upon hearing Xiuyuan's reply.

Old Palace Master had always wanted to help the Initial Domain, but he had always been constrained by the situation on the Extraterritorial Battlefield, leading to continuous compromises.

Xiuyuan's reply was excellent and very much to his liking.

Wu Meng stopped speaking, cupped his hands to the two, and prepared to take his leave.

Xiuyuan stepped forward and said, "Junior thanks Sect Leader Wu for his great righteousness, traveling thousands of miles to assist us. Junior and Sect Leader Wu's esteemed disciple, Gu Cangfeng, became fast friends at first sight. I hope the relationship between our Heavenly Palace and Divine Martial Sect can continue in the future."

Ling Li couldn't help but smile upon hearing Xiuyuan's words.

Seeing Xiuyuan's formal attitude, Wu Meng no longer regarded this young man as a junior, but as the leader of the fourth major power in the Great Barren World.

He seriously cupped his hands and said, "It must be so."

After speaking, Wu Meng glanced at Ling Li, nodded, and then vanished.

At this moment, Xiuyuan's transmission jade lit up; it was Chen Li's voice.

"Palace Master, nearly five hundred thousand captives are all concentrated in the Azure Wolf Domain. The other domains have all been pacified, and I am already arranging for personnel to take up residence."

Xiuyuan glanced at Ling Li.

Ling Li smiled and said, "If you have your own matters to handle, go ahead. I am your subordinate now, so just say if you have any arrangements."

Zhuge Lun, Ling Yun, and Ling Li were actually well aware of Xiuyuan's actions. Wei Tieshan would praise Xiuyuan in front of the three of them whenever he had the chance.

Lin Batian now appeared in the void, standing beside Ling Li.

Xiuyuan said no more and headed directly to the Azure Wolf Domain.

The original inhabitants of a domain numbered nearly a hundred billion, but they were all at the bottom rung and did not care who occupied the domain, because no matter who occupied it, the common people were always needed.

Nor would any occupier slaughter the native population at the bottom.

Five hundred thousand captives sounded like a lot, but in reality, it was less than one ten-thousandth of the total population.

In the void.

Lin Batian sighed and said, "When the Palace Master was in danger, Xuanyue's World Power completely sealed off space, and none of us could do anything. Old Six probably used some item to reach the Palace Master and protected him with the life-saving token bestowed by Elder Zhuge."

Lin Batian described the situation at the time.

Ling Li nodded and said, "The world projection suppressed you Heavenly God Realm cultivators. I suppose the Palace Master couldn't even summon the Ling Tian Pagoda. If Little Six hadn't acted like that, the Palace Master probably wouldn't have been able to hold on."

In fact, Zhuge Lun, Ling Yun, and Ling Li arrived late and had no idea that Xiuyuan had injured Xuanyue with his own power.

Lin Batian nodded and said, "He probably couldn't have held on. After all, the Palace Master fought Xuanyue for more than a dozen rounds. He must have been at the end of his rope then, right?"

"You said the Palace Master fought Xuanyue for more than a dozen rounds?"

Lin Batian was stunned, then carefully recounted the process of Xiuyuan's battle with Xuanyue.

Ling Li laughed loudly, "Good! Good! Good!"

"So, the Palace Master has integrated at least seven laws into his body. I wonder which seven? If he has all five elements, plus space and life, then it won't be long before the Palace Master advances to the God King Realm, as such talent has never been heard of."

Lin Batian also nodded. A Heavenly God Realm cultivator under twenty years old was already outrageous, and the key was that he was incredibly powerful.

Xiuyuan looked at the dense crowd of captives before him, all of them from the Alien Beast Clan.

Gu Shan had already abandoned the territories of the human and ghost races within the Beast Alliance, finally settling all the strong cultivators of the Exotic Beast Clan in these last dozen or so domains.

Therefore, almost all the captives at this time were from the Alien Beast Clan.

Seeing that they were from the Alien Beast Clan, Xiuyuan showed no mercy.

In the end, he gained seventy trillion exotic beast value and over ten thousand lottery draws.

As for the spiritual materials from the exotic beasts' bodies, Xiuyuan was not interested at all and directly handed them over to Chen Li to handle.

These would be used to enhance the overall strength of the Heavenly Palace.

Hei Bu Guan came to Xiuyuan's side and asked, "Palace Master, are you now the new Palace Master of the War God Hall?"

Xiuyuan had nothing to hesitate about; this was a great boon for the development of the Heavenly Palace, so he nodded.

Hei Bu Guan said joyfully, "In that case, the Heavenly Palace's inauguration ceremony can be held now! There's no need to wait until the Chaotic Realm is unified."

Xiuyuan also nodded after hearing this. Indeed, this was a great opportunity.

"I need to discuss this matter with Vice Palace Master Zhuge before making a decision. Let's still proceed step by step."

Xiuyuan thought for a moment and replied to Hei Bu Guan.

Hei Bu Guan's realm was not high, but his grasp of the situation was very precise. Even Chen Li would consult with Hei Bu Guan on any decisions he made.

Xiuyuan returned to the void and saw Lin Batian and Ling Li chatting idly.

The two stopped talking upon seeing Xiuyuan's arrival and turned to look at him.

Xiuyuan had not used any of the exotic beast value he had obtained this time. If there were another sneak attack by a God King...

With so much exotic beast value, Xiuyuan could fight even harder.

Because before, Xiuyuan had always thought that even if he couldn't win, he still had the Ling Tian Pagoda.

But after this confrontation with Xuanyue, he realized that within the scope of a God King's World Power, he couldn't even summon the Ling Tian Pagoda.

Thinking of this, Xiuyuan opened his mouth and asked, "Senior Ling!"

Ling Li interrupted Xiuyuan, "If you find it awkward to address me, and 'Vice Palace Master Ling' sounds too formal, just call me Senior Brother Ling, or Third Senior Brother is also fine."

Xiuyuan nodded and spoke again, "Third Senior Brother, why was Xuanyue able to prevent me from summoning the Ling Tian Pagoda?"

Ling Li smiled, "It's a World Power projection. To put it bluntly, within the projection's range, I am the master. Anything I want, I can do. It's just related to the power of the laws integrated with the inner world."

Xiuyuan understood. It wasn't that he couldn't summon it, but that Xuanyue prevented the Ling Tian Pagoda from appearing in this space.

Seeing Xiuyuan's realization, Ling Li continued, "Xuanyue entered the God King Realm with six laws. He achieved God King status with the five elements plus space. Although he later comprehended some other laws, he did not integrate them into his inner world, so his World Projection Power is not very strong."

Xiuyuan asked if it meant that after achieving God King status, no more laws could be integrated into the divine body.

This was a common understanding among Heavenly God Realm cultivators.

Ling Li shook his head and said, "This statement is both right and wrong. Because after achieving God King status, one indeed cannot integrate more laws into the divine body, but they can be integrated into the inner world. Otherwise, how would a God King cultivate? After all, cultivation in the God King Realm is a process of continuously perfecting the inner world."

"Of course, the number of laws integrated within the Heavenly God Realm directly determines the strength of one's divine body. The more laws a God King achieves, the higher their potential. Because after the inner world is formed, the laws of the two worlds are not completely identical, naturally leading to conflict, and comprehension becomes even more difficult."

Xiuyuan finally understood why those Heavenly Gods, when their inner worlds were difficult to form, would try their best to comprehend more laws to strengthen their divine bodies as much as possible.

They hoped that one day, they would enter the God King Realm possessing multiple laws.
