Next, An Lanxiu began selecting people in the Profound Viewing Academy!
And everyone cooperated with her!
Thus, in no time, An Lanxiu had selected twelve thousand people!
These twelve thousand were all carefully chosen!
Ye Xuan directly had An Lanxiu take them into the small tower to cultivate!
Moreover, he had the group of big shots inside the small tower guide them!
After seeing those big shots, An Lanxiu decided to continue recruiting!
She wanted to build a force capable of rivaling Princess Xin’s army!
Ye Xuan had no intention of suppressing Princess Xin. On the contrary, he would trust her even more than before.
Killing the rabbit and cooking the hound—Ye Xuan would naturally not do such a thing, nor could he!
He was planning for the academy’s future!
After he was gone, the academy needed balance among all parties. No single faction could dominate!
Besides An Lanxiu, the Moon Emperor was also forming her own army. She knew this was the time to change the Moon Kingdom’s fate, so she was very dedicated.
In less than a few days, she had formulated a plan for conquering parallel universes!
In the hall.
Ye Xuan looked at the plan the Moon Emperor had drawn up. After a long while, he looked at her. “Fight to sustain the war?”
The Moon Emperor nodded. “Yes! When conquering a parallel universe, we must control some resources of that universe. Only then will our army not burden the main Profound Viewing Academy. Of course, not plundering. I will send people to search for ancient secret realms or explore ownerless spiritual veins as much as possible. With these peerless powerhouses, this will be easy!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Acceptable!”
As he spoke, he looked at the Moon Emperor. “No plundering!”
He knew this door could not be opened. Once opened, it would spiral out of control!
Because when he gave the order to plunder, those below might turn to slaughter and looting.
The Moon Emperor nodded. “Rest assured, I will restrain my people!”
Ye Xuan stared at her. “Our original intention is to establish a new order in a universe, not to massacre it. Deal with the strongest force, and everything will become simple. In short, do not chaos a parallel universe!”
The Moon Emperor nodded slightly. “I understand!”
Ye Xuan put away the plan and said, “From now on, you are in charge of parallel universe matters!”
The Moon Emperor nodded. “Thank you for your trust!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “If you need any help, just contact me!”
The Moon Emperor glanced at Ye Xuan and said, “Of course!”
Ye Xuan nodded. “Go busy yourself!”
The Moon Emperor bowed slightly and withdrew!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes!
This Moon Emperor was more scheming than Princess Xin. Princess Xin’s thoughts were laid out in the open, while this one’s were in the shadows!
Ye Xuan slowly closed his eyes!
Intrigue!
At this moment, a small head suddenly poked in at the hall entrance.
Ye Xuan looked over. It was Xiao Jing!
Xiao Jing grinned. “Big brother!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Come in!”
Xiao Jing walked in. Without any restraint, she went straight to Ye Xuan and sized him up unabashedly. “You’ve grown stronger!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “You too!”
Xiao Jing sat down nearby and said, “Big brother, can you give me something to do?”
Ye Xuan was curious. “What do you want to do?”
Xiao Jing stared at Ye Xuan. “Can I command an army!”
Ye Xuan shook his head decisively!
Damn it!
Compared to the Moon Emperor and Princess Xin, he was more afraid of this little one!
This fellow was no pushover!
Once she had an army, forget when he was gone! Even if he was here, she might rebel!
Xiao Jing looked aggrieved. “You’re that wary of me!”
Ye Xuan glared at her. “Don’t give me that nonsense!”
Xiao Jing grinned and said, “Serious talk. I caused too much trouble before. Now I want to do more good, so I want to build a mercenary group. Rest assured, not the old bandit kind, a proper mercenary group!”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao Jing without speaking.
Xiao Jing said seriously, “What bad intentions could I have?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “Change your reason!”
Xiao Jing stared at Ye Xuan. “The one just now is in charge of conquering parallel universes, right?”
Ye Xuan nodded.
Xiao Jing said, “If she conquers parallel universes, she will build a powerful army. If I were her, I would definitely mix in a lot of personal loyalists. That is, though the army is nominally under the Profound Viewing Academy, they are all her confidants. With you here, the army will listen to you, but if you are not in this universe, gone to the Virtual Realm, who knows who the army will listen to! Moreover, Princess Xin also commands an army. Then what about the main institute? Can the Profound Viewing Guards alone hold off the two of them?”
She paused and continued, “So, I think we need another army. I think I can do it!”
Ye Xuan looked at Xiao Jing without speaking.
Xiao Jing continued, “Balance! What the Profound Viewing Academy needs most now is balance, preferably three parties checking each other. Look at me—I can balance the two of them, really!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “So confident?”
Xiao Jing said seriously, “Of course!”
Ye Xuan thought for a moment and said, “I can let you build a mercenary group, but you must promise me one thing!”
Xiao Jing nodded. “I know, you’re afraid I’ll rebel. Rest assured, I can check them, and they can check me. I cannot rebel unless I join forces with one side… Oh, I mean, that is impossible!”
Ye Xuan suddenly smiled. “If one day I am not at the academy, will you treat my descendants well?”
Xiao Jing was stunned, then said calmly, “If you are not at the academy! Then what meaning does this academy hold for me?”
Ye Xuan fell silent.
Xiao Jing smiled. “Are you afraid I’ll rebel after you leave?”
Ye Xuan shook his head. “You would not!”
Xiao Jing looked at Ye Xuan. “Why?”
Ye Xuan said softly, “Because even if I let you be the dean, you would not be interested!”
Xiao Jing fell silent, saying nothing.
Ye Xuan smiled faintly. “I treat you as family!”
Xiao Jing was silent for a moment before saying, “Me too!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “If you want to form a mercenary group, go ahead!”
Xiao Jing grinned. “Great! I even thought of the name for the mercenary group! It will be called the Profound Viewing Mercenary Group!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “After forming it, what do you plan to do?”
Xiao Jing thought and said, “Establish a mercenary union, develop a union independent of the academy. I think this world needs mercenaries. Mercenaries can do many things. Of course, I will restrain this union and try not to do things like murder and robbery! Moreover, there are many mercenaries in this universe now, but they are scattered. I think I can unite them!”
Ye Xuan was silent for a moment before saying, “What do you need from me?”
Xiao Jing quickly said, “Money!”
Ye Xuan opened his palm, and a storage ring slowly floated to Xiao Jing. She glanced at it and said, “Enough!”
Ye Xuan smiled. “Go!”
Xiao Jing grinned. “Thank you, big brother!”
With that, she turned and left. At the hall entrance, she suddenly stopped, looked back at Ye Xuan. “Big brother, if you have a son, what will he call me?”
Ye Xuan said irritably, “Aunt, of course! What, sister?”
Hearing this, Xiao Jing grinned, then bounced away into the distance.
Ye Xuan shook his head with a smile.
What he did not expect was that in the future Profound Viewing Universe, an extremely terrifying force would emerge.
The Mercenary Union!
…
After Xiao Jing left, Ye Xuan entered the small tower.
What he wanted to cultivate was strengthening his physical body!
Not to focus on developing the body, but to strengthen it enough to fold universes!
He could now only fold virtual universes, which was far from enough for him. This time, his goal was to directly fold Zero Degree Spacetime!
To reach the level of those big shots, he must fold Zero Degree Spacetime!
One sword invincible!
To fold spacetime of that level, his divine soul and physical body must reach an extremely terrifying degree!
On a barren plain, Ye Xuan sat cross-legged. Above his head was a heavenly tribulation!
The tribulation continuously sent down divine lightning striking Ye Xuan. At this moment, Ye Xuan was like a lightning person, his entire body wrapped in lightning.
Thus, Ye Xuan tempered his body again and again using the heavenly tribulation.
Several months passed!
Ye Xuan, sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes. A burst of lightning erupted from them, instantly shattering the space before him!
Ye Xuan took a deep breath and clenched his right fist tightly.
Boom!
A bolt of lightning suddenly erupted from within his body, directly shattering the surrounding spacetime!
Ye Xuan waved his sleeve, and the surrounding spacetime immediately returned to normal!
Ye Xuan looked at his hands. At this moment, he was extremely excited!
Power!
Endless power!
This was power from the physical body!
It had to be said, he quite liked this kind of physical power. Fighting others, fist to flesh, and completely brainless hard clashes!
At this point, Da Shan walked over from the side. He smiled. “Young Master Ye, congratulations!”
Ye Xuan looked at Da Shan and smiled. “My body still has a considerable gap compared to Senior!”
Da Shan nodded. “Indeed, but you are a sword cultivator. For your body to reach this level is already terrifying!”
Ye Xuan laughed heartily. “True!”
Without saying more, he directly left the small tower. This time, he prepared to go to Zero Degree Spacetime to see if he could fold the spacetime there!
If he could, the power of his folding sword would increase countless times!
But just as Ye Xuan was about to leave, the space before him suddenly cracked. Then, a woman covered in blood suddenly appeared before him!
Seeing the person, Ye Xuan was stunned!
Because this was none other than the Xuanhuang Woman from before!
At this moment, the Xuanhuang Woman was in a rather miserable state.
Ye Xuan looked at her without speaking, somewhat surprised. This woman had actually survived the fate tribulation?
The Xuanhuang Woman looked at Ye Xuan, also without speaking!
