Fey Evolution Merchant

Chapter 2840  Meeting in the Sky!

The Sky Beyond the Clouds was much too large, and there were a number of dominant factions in there. The dominant factions often fought with each other.

If a lifeform committed a crime in the East Universe and escaped to the West Universe, the East Universe faction would need support from Honor Absent Palace to cross over to the West Universe and punish the lifeform.

If they crossed universes to hunt down another lifeform, there was a high possibility of being discovered by the West Universe's officers. Once discovered, they would be subject to punishment in the West Universe.

The cost of hiring a combat team was very low. Hence, even a weak lifeform with the highest status made sure to bring a large group with it wherever it went.

"Since that's the case, it will be even easier to nurture the Quagmire Sparrow Bass! For now, observe the King Blood Jackals and look out for any possible species worth nurturing.

"The King Blood Jackals alone won't be enough to build a kingdom that can produce an endless stream of faith power. Not only do we need to discover species worth nurturing, but we'll also need to nurture feys that can produce rare spiritual resources and increase the resources under our control!"

Having only just arrived at the Sky Beyond the Clouds, it was imperative that they refresh their store of resources.

There was nothing that Lin Yuan needed to hide from Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.

The King Blood Jackals' territory was more than half the size of the main world.

However, North of the Lonely River was just a drop in the sea. Compared to the entire Sky Beyond the Clouds, North of the Lonely River was pathetically minuscule.

The truly powerful species were all looking beyond the Sky Beyond the Clouds to the abyss that surrounded it.

Lin Yuan would not compare himself to the species that had been developing in the Sky Beyond the Clouds for countless epochs. Rather, he would carefully and stably build up the supply of faith in his kingdom.

…

All of Sky City's members had been activated.

Sky Sea was docked above this area, and Lin Yuan released 300 Spirit Craftsmen from the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

The Spirit Craftsmen had built many miniature palaces in the Spirit Lock spatial zone. All they needed to do was dig a large enough space before embedding the pre-constructed palatial structure into the ground.

The palace would be built 20 meters underground because Silver Corona's sea of bone lotus flowers needed to push their roots increasingly deeper into the ground. If the palace was positioned too near the surface, Silver Corona's lotuses would be obstructed from properly laying down their roots, or the roots would grow into the palace and damage the walls.

With the help of their feys, the Spirit Craftsmen finished building the palace in less than two hours. The construction and decoration of the interior were also completed at the same time.

The entire palace was modeled after the Return from Faraway Palace, and everyone felt a sense of familiar intimacy.

Lin Yuan had already released Silver Corona.

With its Sovereign ability, Soul Receives Bone Territory, Silver Corona could store the sea of flowers temporarily in its body. Rememberling had used a large amount of its soul storage to enable Silver Corona to store the sea of bone lotus flowers.

Immediately after being summoned by Lin Yuan, Silver Corona released the sea of flowers from its soul.

The sea of flowers completely blanketed the ground around the palace. The white bone mist rose from the sea of flowers, creating another forbidden area.

Silver Corona was currently only Sovereign VI/Creation VII. As such, it could not kill most of the lifeforms that had accidentally stumbled into the sea of flowers.

However, Lin Yuan's main reason for summoning Silver Corona was for it to investigate the area and conceal the palace.

Lin Yuan did not allow Silver Corona's power to rise too quickly because he wanted its bloodline to evolve in the best direction.

Moreover, Silver Corona needed a large amount of flesh to evolve, and he did not have sufficient flesh at hand to give to it.

The King Blood Jackals were now very obedient. Those who were uncooperative had been eliminated by Kani.

Unlike in the main world, there were no dimensional rifts in the Sky Beyond the Clouds from which Lin Yuan could obtain a large amount of dimensional lifeform flesh to feed to Silver Corona.

Besides Silver Corona, Red Thorn also had an enormous appetite for blood energy. Red Thorn's Mouths of Relinquish digested flesh just as quickly as Silver Corona did.

Currently, Lin Yuan did not know how he was going to nurture Red Thorn and Silver Corona.

After thinking for a moment and failing to come up with a solution, Lin Yuan decided to stop agonizing over the issue.

There was something very important that he needed to do now, which was to hold Sky City's first official meeting.

This was the first meeting with the participation of all of Sky City's main members since arriving at the Sky Beyond the Clouds.

Sky City did not have many main members, but there were tens of them. Every one of them had important tasks at hand. Hence, it was difficult for all of them to gather in one place unless Lin Yuan specifically called for them.

Lin Yuan had given all of Sky City's main members clear directions for development and drawn up plans for them. He could now continue acting as a hands-off manager.

Lin Yuan wanted to find feys that could replenish the Spirit Lock spatial zone's resources. However, all of them were owned by powerful factions who used them as foundational resources.

The only way to obtain such resources in the wild would be to find an area that had never been touched by a powerful species.

Hence, the best way for Lin Yuan to get his hands on such resources was to search the East Universe's main areas and trade with powerful factions.

With spirit qi crystals full of pure spirit qi and various types of pure elemental energy, Lin Yuan did not have to worry about trading for the resources he wanted.

…

In order to express his respect for the Moon Empress, Lin Yuan intentionally invited her to take the main seat.

However, she did not do so. Instead, she told him seriously, "Little Yuan, Sky City was built by you young people. Cold Moon, Mystic Moon, and I are only here for support. For this meeting, you must be the one to sit on the main seat. You're the City Lord of Sky City.

"Cold Moon, Mystic Moon, and I won't be participating in this meeting. You mentioned that you plan on going out to train in the future. I will help you watch Sky City then. Cold Moon and Mystic Moon will support Little Jie and Little Yu. They have their own things to do. It will be easier for us to communicate privately."

The Moon Empress was saying this after having contemplated the matter.

Firstly, Sky City could only have one decision-maker. This decision-maker needed to possess absolute power.

If Lin Yuan overly expressed his respect toward her and asked her for her opinions during the meeting, it would undermine his might and authority.

If she did not take the main seat, she would be seated next to Lin Yuan. However, this would cause either Wen Yu or Liu Jie to have to move down in seating.

The Moon Empress had been watching Wen Yu and Liu Jie for the past decade. Although they would not mind if such an occurrence happened, the Moon Empress did not want to adversely affect them either.

Hence, it would be better if old seniors like her, Cold Moon, and Mystic Moon did not join in the meeting of youths!

From the Moon Empress' insistence, Lin Yuan understood her meaning and did not try inviting her to join the meeting again.

Her actions touched him greatly.

Ever since the Moon Empress became his Master, she had been silently protecting and guiding him from the wings. She never restricted his development and respected his secrets.

Now that they were both part of Sky City, she was unable to help him with her power but was still trying to care for him in her way.

In truth, the Moon Empress was feeling extremely touched as well.

Lin Yuan felt that the Moon Empress did a lot for him. But she also felt the same way about him.

Firstly, after becoming her disciple, Lin Yuan gave the Moon Empress a source of comfort and became someone she could open up her heart to. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Furthermore, he had saved her and helped her to break free from her shortened lifespan, enabling her to become a birth horoscope expert.

After that, Lin Yuan had helped the Moon Empress' power reach its current level.

The Moon Empress knew that she would never have been able to attain the opportunities that Lin Yuan had given her on her own.

Despite being stronger than her, Lin Yuan's attitude toward her had not changed at all.

The Moon Empress never forgot any of this. She saw it as her blessing to be able to take in a disciple like Lin Yuan.

"Master, after this meeting, I will take Wen Yu and Liu Jie to see you, Auntie Cold, and Uncle Mystic."

The Moon Empress smiled gently. "Chef Supreme gave me a lot of ingredients before we left for the Sky Beyond the Clouds. I can use them to cook up a storm. The two of us haven't had a heartfelt chat in a long time. I think that we should continue the question-and-answer sessions. But this time, instead of you asking me, I will be the one asking the questions!"

Lin Yuan said sincerely, "Master, I will answer all your questions once I've clarified the answers. If you need any resources, you must let me know! Now that you've reached the Divine Kingdom level, faith power is the basic energy you need to improve your divine kingdom.

"When it comes to gathering faith, you don't have to concern yourself with anyone else. Just do your best to collect as much faith power as you can! During this meeting in Sky City, I will be encouraging all the members to do their best to collect as much faith power as they can."

Lin Yuan came to this decision after thinking about it deeply.

Even the most positive competition would affect the relationship between the members. Lin Yuan was aware of this.

Yet, he still made this decision because if he divided up the villages instead of allowing the members to fight over them, this would cause Sky City's members to become complacent toward their collection of faith power.

The collection of faith power was not an endeavor in which results could be seen quickly. It required long-term investment and effort. Hence, it was easy for people to become complacent if they were given easy access to faith power!

Back in the main world, Lin Yuan had also gone through a period of arrogance when it came to collecting faith power. It was when he evolved Green Vine to World Emperor/Divine Kingdom. It was his first World Emperor/Divine Kingdom, after all. He only began to take the collection of faith power seriously again once he understood how useful it was.

The Moon Empress nodded and said, "Little Yuan, I won't be careless when it comes to increasing my power. You don't have to worry about this."

There was something else the Moon Empress initially wanted to say but eventually decided against it.

She wanted to say that she was already struggling and doing her best to chase after him. If she became arrogant, she would eventually fail to even see the dust he left behind.

The Moon Empress refused to let this happen.

Once she could no longer see him ahead of her and could no longer be of any help to him, she would become utterly worthless in their activities in the Sky Beyond the Clouds!

With the Moon Empress' pride, she did not want to become a burden to Lin Yuan.

Now that he knew that the Moon Empress was taking the collection of faith power seriously, Lin Yuan relaxed.

He knew how determined she was to increase her power.

…

Once Listen and Endless Summer arrived at the palace, the meeting officially began.

Lin Yuan sat on the main seat with Liu Jie and Wen Yu flanking him.

Su Yiren, Luo Lan, Bei Xu, Listen, and the rest did not have assigned seats and took seats next to Liu Jie and Wen Yu.

In the past, Bai Qinghuan would have tried to sit nearer to Lin Yuan. Her ambition was written plainly all over her face.

But ever since she went to Return to Ruins to take down the dimensional wall at the boundary of the main world and dimensional worlds and was bullied by him, she realized that was a result of Lin Yuan's displeasure toward her. Hence, she withdrew her ambition and no longer crossed any lines.

Bai Qinghuan had been waiting for an opportunity for her to demonstrate her abilities.

Such an opportunity had presented itself when they were in the main world. However, the enemy had been too strong, and there was no way for the enemy to be overcome through human means. Regardless of how impressive Bai Qinghuan's combat strategies were, she could not close the gap between herself and such overwhelming power.

Later, the humans somehow managed to defeat the dead spirits. At that time, all Bai Qinghuan could do was stay by Liu Jie's side and assist him.

But ever since arriving at the Sky Beyond the Clouds and gaining an understanding of its circumstances, Bai Qinghuan's heart began to tremble.

Bai Qinghuan knew that her opportunity to shine was finally there!

Given the circumstances, there was no need for Bai Qinghuan to use other means to gain Lin Yuan's attention.

Hence, Bai Qinghuan was much more reserved than before and took a seat next to Bei Xu.

Ten years ago, Bai Qinghuan would have scoffed at Bei Xu. Back then, she saw him as nothing more than an upstart without any experience.

But now, Bai Qinghuan no longer dared to view him with such scorn. His improvement in recent years had been too dazzling, and her opinion of him had changed completely.

Lin Yuan had already ordered Bei Xu to take on the management of the Lonely River. Bai Qinghuan was extremely envious of this.

However, she also knew that Bei Xu was more important to Lin Yuan than she was.

Bai Qinghuan intended to use her impending opportunity to fight for Lin Yuan's attention.

There was an enormous chasm between Bei Xu and Ta Lei's talent. But if Ta Lei had known how to seize his opportunities, Bai Qinghuan believed that Lin Yuan would have been willing to bring him to the Sky Beyond the Clouds as well.
