Everybody was shocked. They were frightened.
For tens of thousands of years in the history of the Human Realm Upon Heavens, this was the cultivators’ first time to encounter such a problem!
‘What the hell happened?’
The purple qi was important for every cultivator in the world. There was not much of it every day, but it was pure. People didn’t need to purify it at least. Everybody got to take a little of it, and the cultivators saw it as a gift from the gods…
All the high-level cultivators were surprised and upset about it. All they could do was to tell themselves, “This is an accident. Something went wrong, and it will be fixed about tomorrow… The spiritual qi will be back!”
Many people had the same thought, and they all stopped the morning exercise early.
Nobody knew that all the spiritual qi had been stored in Ye Xiao’s Boundless Space. He had used up the spiritual qi in the Space, but it was half-filled the next day after absorbing all the purple qi in that morning!
Even Ye Xiao didn’t notice it.
He didn’t know why Erhuo was excited all of a sudden. The cat was running like a wild animal in the Space… Erhuo’s fur was falling off, but the new one grew back immediately…
Within one night, Erhuo changed seven layers of fur!
It was still a little cute kitty that was as small as a man’s fist. The Silver-scaled Golden-carbuncled Snakes in the Space clearly felt that their chief was a lot stronger!
Ten thousand times stronger!
‘What happened?’
‘We want to be stronger too…’
Somewhere in the Space.
A golden light glittered.
It was the golden hawk. It was an egg at the moment. The egg suddenly cracked, and the hawk showed up. Hawky blinked. It was awake!
The hawk actually woke up at this moment.
The golden hawk was hatched twice. Its feathers were tender like the feathers of a baby bird. It seemed the feather wasn’t as strong as usual, but when Hawky stood up, the feather became as sharp and strong as a steel sword.
Hawky was smaller than before, but it became smarter.
“Koo? Koo, koo, koo?” Hawky looked at Erhuo and asked, “Hey, Chief. Where is Master?”
“Master is going crazy…” Erhuo meowed to answer. “I don’t know how he did it. He is just awake… I mean the king’s mentality is awake… I think something touched him… That is good… Well, I guess his mind will be unstable for a while. Do not touch his nerve, I am warning you…”
“Koo…” Hawky nodded.
Erhuo rolled its eyes and thought, ‘Humph. Why did he suddenly wake up? I know why. I just don’t want to tell you… It is complicated and exhausting to explain. You are a baby bird. You don’t need to know everything. Just don’t make Master mad.’
It was early in the morning.
Meng Youjiang woke up and realized the atmosphere had changed.
What he saw with both eyes was green.
Everybody was confused. Why was the world suddenly green? When they saw the reason, they were shocked.
The giant trees that were made into the Hall of Life and Death had grown again!
The trees had grown even more than the last time.
The Hall of Life and Death had been a fortress of trees, but now it was a castle of trees. It was ten times bigger than before!
The Hall of Life and Death used to occupy ten miles of the land, which was astonishing. Now, it was hundreds of miles! That was terrifying.
The growth of the trees was not all. The green color wasn’t all from the trees. In the territory of the Monarch’s Hall, all the plants had grown crazily within that night. They had all grown like the fortress of trees! The Monarch’s Hall had become a world of trees!
The fortress of trees was the center, and the trees built up walls surrounding the entire place. The Monarch’s Hall seemed to be encircled by the ocean of giant trees.
People were shocked when they saw so!
‘What was going on?’
‘How did Lord Monarch do this incredible thing?’
‘The Monarch’s Hall is not like an organization, but more like a sea of trees, a jungle in the city!’
People were all shocked, and also confused.
Ye Xiao walked outside the Hall of Life and Death. He seemed to be exhausted.
How could he not?
Within one night, he had broken through several times and even reached the Saint Origin Stage. He had used up hundreds of buckets of the Water of True Spirits, and thousands of pieces of Chaotic Purple Crystal.
The fortress of trees had become a horrible killing formation!
The murderous traps in the fortress even frightened Ye Xiao himself. Honestly, it was cold-blooded and brutal to make such horrible formation traps!
He was so angry, so he made it. He had lost his mind when he did it, so it was fine. He didn’t care!
The Monarch’s Hall was a lot weaker after the four clans left, so he needed something to protect the Monarch’s Hall. The new fortress of trees was powerful enough to keep it safe inside the Monarch’s Hall!
– Clap, clap, clap… –
Ye Xiao clapped and called everybody to gather over. He had words to say.
“From now on, the Hall of Life and Death continues the business of saving lives. The Hall of Life and Death is the Monarch’s Hall, and the Monarch’s Hall is the Hall of Life and Death. I am putting both things as one.
“There are things I need you to do. Listen up. The twelve units settle in different parts of the fortress. Each part can hold no more than two hundred people. Well, you don’t have over two hundred people, so just get in. These places will not be open to the public.
“The Seven Stars will be in the middle of that bridge.
“The One Blade and Two Warriors stay around me.
“Everybody gets this done today.
“In the future, not far away, there will be enemies coming to attack. Guards will still take turns to guard the entrances. Nobody leaves the fortress, except the guards. Everybody stays inside the fortress and focuses on cultivation.
“We are not expanding.
“The wall of Iron Maples outside draws the boundary. The world of trees is the territory of the Monarch’s Hall
“We give orders from this place. No matter how many people we have, the headquarters won’t be expanded.”
Everybody was shocked.
‘The headquarters will not be expanded?’
‘What does that mean?’
That meant the leaders of the Monarch’s Hall were all appointed!
