Chapter 3102 - The Emperor's Arrival

Ying Huo was utterly fearless, as if the Kilopath Net couldn't catch it. All of Tianming’s lifebound beasts were bold, which was unavoidable as they were all Primordial Chaos Beasts and born overpowered from the start.

"I definitely can't let her pick me up every time. Otherwise I'll have to find a way to reveal the matter of the Kilopath Net to her without exposing Yin Chen. If that doesn't work, I'll just have to wait." After all, the Kilopath Net was borrowed. Reverend Daolie had borrowed it from an eminent after begging for a full three years. There must be a set time limit and it would be impossible to let the Little Lion King keep using it indefinitely.

"But let's not worry about that for now. Let's sneakily head to the Battlesky Hall first." Although it was Tianming's first time, he had a rough map of Myriadpath Valley. Thus, it was easy for him to find places like the Grand Myriadpath Ruins and the Battlesky Hall.

Battlesky Hall was the place where the most powerful cultivation techniques and battle arts were stored. It was divided into a front and back hall. The back hall was full of cultivation techniques and battle arts, while the front hall distributed mundus missions. Disciples could earn merit points by completing those mundus missions.

The building was quite large and shaped like a gourd.

"Sure enough, it's another astralship." It was a black gourd, echoing the gold of the Grand Myriadpath Ruins. It emitted black mist, with many eerie murals of specters carved on its surface. The closer you got, the more terrifying it became.

When Tianming reached its front, he found that it was seven or eight times larger than the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and was actually quite close to the Grand Myriadpath Ruins in size. That indicated that even if the gourd was an infinitum-class astralship, its combat power was much stronger than standard infinitum-class astralships like the Ebonfiend, Dreamchild, and Gladeus Ruins. Of course, it wasn't as strong as the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

Although the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb wasn't very big, its material and combat power were quite fierce.

But the gourd in front of him was still stronger than most infinitum-class astralships. Yin Chen said that there were quite a few infinitum-class astralships like Battlesky Hall in Myriadpath Valley. Each one was a crucial place for Myriadpath Valley!

"This indicates that Myriadpath Valley still has a sense of crisis. Once a war breaks out, resources like inheritance caeli, cultivation techniques, and battle arts can be transferred and preserved at the first possible moment, leaving them a way out."

There were more people outside the Battlesky Hall than at the Heavensource Starriver. That was mainly because many disciples were in the front hall, the smaller part of the gourd, selecting mundus missions.

"The so-called mundus missions are special places and events in the Million Mundi. If there’s things that a mundus can't handle on its own, or if Myriadpath Valley has already occupied that territory and something happens in the middle that requires Myriadpath Valley disciples to handle it, it’ll be announced here in the form of missions." The mechanism was everywhere, and wasn’t new.

Myriadpath Valley was equivalent to the imperial capital, and the million mundi were equivalent to various places in the country. If there were things that couldn't be locally handled, they would send someone from the imperial capital to handle it. Completing such missions awarded merit points.

However, the mundus missions of Myriadpath Valley had a special nature. They were also to strengthen the connection between the valley and the various mundi, making it easier to spread the might of Myriadpath Valley and attract mundi geniuses to dream of entering Myriadpath Valley.

"If Myriadpath Valley disciples don't go out and just cultivate here, who’ll know how powerful they are?" That was the reason! Myriadpath Valley disciples had to go out and be strong and powerful, making people yearn for them. If any native of a mundus dared to disrespect them, the elders of Myriadpath Valley would step in and directly teach them a lesson.

Mundus missions could be said to be the most important link in the rule and subjugation of the Million Mundi by Myriadpath Valley.

"Some mundus missions could be handled by the local experts, but Myriadpath Valley still assigns them to its own disciples to showcase their might and authority." For example, a certain matter in the domain would require an elder of several thousand years of age to handle, or even the intervention of a rex mundi.

But Myriadpath Valley would send out disciples under five hundred years old to handle it! Then the entire mundus would know how awesome Myriadpath Valley was, igniting the flames of desire to join Myriadpath Valley.

This process was called spreading the Dao, but if put bluntly, it was just showing off.

"Moreover, the world's resources aren’t just in Myriadpath Valley. Some mundi may produce top-grade manna, or there may be some previously undiscovered secret realms, as well as many top-grade ownerless nova sources, and so on. Those resources may escape Myriadpath Valley's eyes and be hidden by the mundus. So when Myriadpath Valley disciples go out to perform mundus missions, it's like Myriadpath Valley's eyes going out to inspect the various mundi."

It was called the emperor's arrival! Who dared to disrespect? The various mundi all had people in charge of sending ownerless nova sources to Myriadpath Valley. Many had been on the road for several dozen generations, crossing the endless astralscape. Those days were terrifyingly lonely.

But a holy place like Myriadpath Valley could make them do such things.

It was precisely because of that that Myriadpath Valley disciples were very enthusiastic about mundus missions. On the one hand, they earned merit points that they could exchange for resources when they returned. On the other hand, on the mundus side, there were people who flattered them and gave gifts. There was also a supreme feeling that they couldn’t enjoy in Myriadpath Valley.

Wealth went into their pockets, beautiful women threw themselves into their embrace, and all living beings worshiped them.

The Infinitum Mundus had no stareye, so when Li Fan went there, no one paid him any attention. But if he went to other mundi, there would be quite a few proactive peerless beauties like Fengqing Youmeng. In short, Myriadpath Valley disciples indeed had a good time; mundus missions were the best!

Huang Daosheng and the like would also take on some missions in order to go out and have fun. It was like going on a government-funded trip, where they could enjoy themselves, show off, and spread the word.

"So mundus missions are imposed on the mundi by Myriadpath Valley, rather than the various mundi actually needing Myriadpath Valley disciples to come and cause trouble. Normally, a group of bloodsucking, arrogant, and domineering Myriadpath Valley disciples would be the real troublemakers, right?" Coming to Myriadpath Valley required seeing through appearances to understand what festered underneath. The essence of Myriadpath Valley was disgusting!

In short, this is the mechanism of imperial rule, but Myriadpath Valley doesn't advertise it like that. Instead, it goes in a disgusting direction, sucking the blood of the Million Mundi in terms of talents, resources, and so on, creating a supreme martial dao holy land,

Tianming inwardly sneered.

"Dammit, we must overthrow this pseudo-imperial regime and spread the gospel of our Tianming Dynasty to the Million Mundi. It’s for their own good," Ying Huo indignantly said.

"Yes! The high-grade mounts, top-grade mounts, and super duper top-grade mounts of the Million Mundi are all mine!" Meow Meow excitedly exclaimed.

"That's like overthrowing the tyrant and becoming the new tyrant," Tianming chuckled.
