King of Creation Chapter 1702 - 1687: Taking Up the Post?

A treasure whose might rivaled an Innate Spiritual Treasure was naturally a powerful temptation for Ye Zhen. Having just broken free from his constraints, he promptly headed to the outer city of Luoyi. His mission: to procure the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures required by Achou, his Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit.

However, Achou explained that nurturing the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit with the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames was a meticulous, stage-by-stage endeavor. At present, the immediate needs were a Poisonous Flood Dragon Pill from a Divine Communication Realm cultivator and ten thousand units each of three distinct types of Poison Flame Grass.

This initial cultivation phase alone was projected to take a minimum of ten years. After all, the Three Absolute Poison Dragon Flames were exceptionally enigmatic, and even with Achou's expert guidance, mastering them would not be an easy feat.

Ten years is a considerable duration, but with the Mirage Dragon Pearl, which possessed the ability to manipulate the flow of time, Ye Zhen calculated it would amount to roughly one year for him.

Luoyi, situated within the Great Zhou, stood as perhaps the most vibrant and heavily populated hub on the entire Primordial Continent, boasting an endless array of goods and wares. With relative ease, Ye Zhen secured the Poisonous Flood Dragon Pill and the essential Poison Flame Grass varieties that Achou required.

Achou then instructed Ye Zhen on the subsequent phase: imprinting a Divine Soul Imprint directly into the core of the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit. Previously, during his time on the True Profound Continent, Ye Zhen's Divine Soul Cultivation had been insufficient, forcing him to rely on external aid for sealing it. Now, however, his power, both in Divine Soul and Spiritual Power, had burgeoned significantly since departing the True Profound Continent. Especially after forging his Primordial Spirit, imprinting a Divine Soul Imprint onto the Origin Divine Soul of the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit became a straightforward task.

He had never previously considered subjugating this Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit; hence, it had remained untamed.

After a leisurely half-day of exploration, Ye Zhen indulged in purchasing various novelties for his senior sister Liao Feibai and others back on the True Profound Continent—Luluo and Feng Qingyue—as well as for his parents. Different regions offered distinct products, and though they couldn't be delivered immediately, they would serve as a delightful surprise upon his eventual return.

Upon returning to their temporary lodging, Ye Zhen, following Achou the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit's precise instructions, effortlessly embedded a Divine Soul Seal into the Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit. This was accomplished using the secret Soul-locking Technique. The very Innate Bone-attached Phosphorus Fire Spirit that had once forced Ye Zhen into a desperate flight years ago could now be commanded with ease. Naturally, this control was amplified by the fact that the spirit had already been captured and sealed.

With the Heavenly Temple's accusations against Ye Zhen officially dismissed, his reporting duty was fulfilled by submitting a Jade Scroll detailing the pursuit of malevolent traces within Shahe City. Within this report, Ye Zhen made only a passing, indirect reference to Liang You, the Wind Patrol Envoy of the South Patrol's Seventh Route.

The events in Shahe City had recently placed Liang You in a rather precarious position. Compounding his troubles was the alarming disappearance of the Teleportation Command for the ancient teleportation array located in Shahe City. Typically, these ancient teleportation arrays governed an area ranging from a minimum of three hundred to ten thousand miles, and in some cases, as far as seven to eight million miles. The loss of a single array's Teleportation Command significantly diminished the Great Zhou's influence within the affected region and its surroundings.

Often, rebellions in remote territories could be traced back to such strategic weaknesses. However, the Great Zhou, which maintained control over the nation's ancient teleportation arrays, was not entirely powerless without one specific Teleportation Token. A reserve of spare Teleportation Tokens was held within the secret vault of the Great Zhou's Military Headquarters.

The core issue, however, was that the loss of a Teleportation Token signaled a potential vulnerability: the ancient teleportation array could be co-opted by hostile forces at a critical juncture. This was particularly concerning for the Southern Border of the Great Zhou, where an incident could plunge tens of millions of miles of territory into chaos. While it was technically possible to fabricate an entirely new set of Teleportation Talismans, the process was exceedingly complex and time-consuming, often taking several years, making it an impractical solution.

Consequently, the Heavenly Patrol Department issued a stern military directive to Liang You, the Wind Patrol Envoy of the South Patrol's Seventh Route. He was tasked with locating the missing Teleportation Token for Shahe City's ancient teleportation array within a strict six-month deadline. Success in this endeavor would be recognized as a meritorious act, effectively offsetting his earlier transgressions. Failure, however, would result not only in the forfeiture of his position as Wind Patrol Envoy but also his immediate imprisonment and subsequent punishment.

Liang You represents an absolutely crucial asset that Ye Zhen has strategically positioned within the Southern Border. His involvement extends beyond managing the Tianming Marquis Country and Ming Tang; he may very well fulfill an even more critical function in the times ahead. Ye Zhen is resolute not only in protecting Liang You but also in providing support during pivotal junctures. Consequently, Ye Zhen dispatched the Teleportation Token, specifically for the ancient teleportation array in Shahe City, to Liang You via a small-scale teleportation formation. How Liang You orchestrates the
