King of Creation Chapter 1817 - 1802: Prince Huan’s Fury

"Ah... It’s so stifling for me today..."

In the palace of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, King Guo Zhang of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom sighed deeply towards the sky, his sigh filled with frustration and oppression.

Prime Minister Xuy Shi glanced at Guo Zhang and began to speak slowly.

"My king, as the saying goes, a gentleman’s revenge can wait a hundred years. Today’s calamity is mainly because the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom has been founded for too short a time and lacks foundation.

You are now in the prime of your life, wise beyond measure, if you use the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom as your foundation and strive to govern and develop it for a century, then it will be another scene." Xuy Shi said.

With this comfort, Guo Zhang’s heart slightly eased, "Prime Minister, after a hundred-year development, will our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom have the capacity to trouble this Ye Zhen?

Let alone the unclear relationship with the demise of my father, today’s bad luck is something I’m determined to vent."

"After a century of striving for governance, our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom can ensure self-preservation. However, if you want to bother Ye Zhen, it will be difficult." Seeing the instant loss of radiance in Guo Zhang’s eyes, Prime Minister Xuy Shi added another sentence, "But if you accumulate national strength for several centuries and find a suitable opportunity, there might be a chance."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of King Guo Zhang of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom sparkled again, "Good, with the Prime Minister assisting me, I will strive to govern diligently for three hundred years, and then I shall face Ye Zhen in a decisive showdown."

Sensing a change in his expression, Guo Zhang moved on, "But after today, the relationship between our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom and Prince Huan’s Mansion may be..."

"My king, don’t worry, actually this matter today is considered a good thing for our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom."

"How so?"

"My king, the matter of vying for the throne is no trivial matter, if our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom intervenes, it could easily lead to disaster. Withdrawing from this matter is instead a good thing for our Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom." Prime Minister Xuy Shi said.

After pondering for a moment, King Guo Zhang of the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom stepped forward and gave Prime Minister Xuy Shi a deep bow, causing a significant change in Xuy Shi’s expression.

"Prime Minister, accept my gratitude, earlier I acted impulsively and regret not heeding your words, resulting in a big mistake. After this event, I am aware of my error; please don’t hold it against me and dedicate yourself to assisting me. After three hundred years of effort, compete against Ye Zhen for supremacy." Guo Zhang said sincerely.

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Xuy Shi also bowed down to Monarch Guo Zhang, "My king, you honor this old minister too much. With your confidence, how dare I not obey?"

Fifteen minutes later, the Prime Minister of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom bid farewell to the full-of-confidence monarch, returning to his residence with heavy steps, his eyes full of worry.

He had studied the records of the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy Ye Zhen, whose rise occurred over just a few years. The position of Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy, Ancestor God Temple Barbarian Spirit Temple Left Chief Priest, Earl of North Sea, which usually takes many people centuries to achieve, was completed by Ye Zhen in just a few years.

Where will Ye Zhen be in three hundred years?

He felt that Monarch Guo Zhang’s ambition to match Ye Zhen in three hundred years might be...

His only solace was that Monarch Guo Zhang set this time frame at three hundred years later, a time considered neither too long nor too short, but no one can predict the changes in the world.

Perhaps after three hundred years, Monarch Guo Zhang might change his mind himself?

.....

While the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom returned to tranquility, within the Prince Huan’s Mansion in Luoyi Inner City of Great Zhou, a storm was brewing!

"What?"

"Chief Steward Mao was captured by the Inner Prison Punishment Department, and his life is uncertain?"

"Who can tell me why the Inner Prison Punishment Department would suddenly trouble Chief Steward Mao?"

"And how did the already acquired Ancient Teleportation Formation from the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom get lost? What did Mao Yongcheng do before being apprehended by the Punishment Department?"

Amidst the roars, a teacup in Prince Huan Ji Ao’s hand turned to powder, making the officials of the Prince Huan Mansion present dare not utter a word.

The Great Zhou, having experienced countless generations, is tangled with various power relationships, especially those with strategic Ancient Teleportation Formation, which are long plotted for, leaving no room for outsiders.

Who knew Ye Zhen would trade with the West Patrol Xio Qiangu, creating a new opportunity.

Prince Huan Ji Ao dared not touch West Patrol Xio Qiangu, nor had the ability to snatch it from the tiger’s mouth.

But for Ye Zhen of the Second Route Wind Patrol, he thought he could take a small share.

Thus Prince Huan Mansion immediately took strong action.

Unexpectedly, not only did they come up empty-handed, they also lost Mao Yongcheng in the end.

"Your Highness, this old servant has just received notice from the Punishment Department that Mao Yongcheng, the Second Chief Steward, has been executed by the Punishment Department, and his Primordial Spirit, erased of Spirit Wisdom, has been sent to the Treasure Refinement Department." The hurried report came from the Grand Steward of Prince Huan’s Mansion, Zhao Yu.

Upon hearing this, Prince Huan Ji Ao suddenly stood up, his face full of anger, "What, that old dog Yu Chaoen didn’t even notify me before disposing of my subordinate?"

"Your Highness, within the Inner Eunuch, Chief Yu has this authority." Zhao Yu’s response was quite bitter.

Ji Ao sat back down with a grim face, "Was the reason uncovered?"

"In response to Your Highness, it is said that the disposal of Chief Steward Mao was personally ordered by Chief Yu."

"What about the cause?"

"The cause was initially unknown, but the Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom, however, sent a detailed explanation. The origins and outcomes of this event are not a secret over there." Prince Huan Mansion’s Grand Steward Zhao Yu handed over a Jade Scroll with both hands.

With just a glance, Prince Huan Ji Ao’s eyes turned extremely gloomy.

"Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy Ye Zhen?"

"Is he determined to oppose me? Hmph!"

With a cold snort, the Jade Scroll in Prince Huan Ji Ao’s hand instantly turned to powder, and the entire hall’s temperature seemed to drop by a few degrees, causing several officials of Prince Huan’s Mansion to shiver inexplicably!

....

Ye Zhen clearly understood the terrifying effect of the temporal sequence space within the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

With the temporal power of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, Ye Zhen could cultivate elite individuals in one-tenth the time it would take others.

Under full cultivation, others might need a hundred years to cultivate a Martial Artist at the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm or Early Stage of Realm King Realm.

But Ye Zhen needs only ten years.

This advantage is extremely powerful, but despite the advantages, there is a major problem, which is cultivation resources.

Due to the effect of temporal power, Ye Zhen could shorten the time to cultivate elites by ten times, but the consumption of cultivation resources remains unchanged.

Moreover, because cultivation within the Mirage Dragon Pearl can only be done using Spirit Stones and Thought Spirit Pills, the resources consumed by Ye Zhen to cultivate elites within it exceed those consumed by others by an additional one to two tenths.

Not only this, others have to provide a hundred years’ worth of cultivation resources over a century for their cultivators.

But Ye Zhen here has to provide a hundred years’ worth of cultivation resources to the elite Martial Artists he cultivates within ten years.

Under such circumstances, the resources required for Ye Zhen to cultivate an elite are enormous.

Even if he uses only Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills, a Martial Artist on average consumes ten thousand Low Grade Thought Spirit Pills a year, equivalent to ten thousand High Grade Spirit Stones.

The two hundred Ascetic Priests Ye Zhen previously cultivated consume two million High Grade Spirit Stones a year.

This is a huge test for Ye Zhen’s financial strength.

If it weren’t for the support of the Market of Dulong Island, he might not have been able to continue cultivating those two hundred Ascetic Priests.

Thus, Ye Zhen knows his Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters lack experts like the Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo, who can single-handedly defend a front.

And his North Sea County army is also missing generals capable of commanding the central army.

Currently, the North Sea County army consists of millions, but the highest cultivation among them is County Captain Tang Biao, who is still at the Dark Palace Realm.

This army, if faced with opposing forces boasting more than two Realm King Realm experts, is highly likely to be crushed.

Ye Zhen has always wanted to change this situation but is constrained by limited financial resources.

But today, the annual tribute of Marquis Haiyuan Kingdom and the revenue from the Ancient Teleportation Formation in Haiyuan City can partly realize Ye Zhen’s plan.

However, given the significance of this matter, selecting personnel for cultivation proved extremely troublesome.
