Two Realms: I Will Become the Immortal Emperor

Chapter 488: Chapter 457: Deployment, Garrison

Half a month later, Chen Che began receiving a series of reports.

The first was about Tan Chen.

After collecting his 120,000 Spirit Stones from the auction house the next day, the man immediately went on a spending spree. Not only did he buy a private courtyard in Jinyun Valley, but he also purchased several shops purely for collecting rent.

In just a few days, he had already spent most of the Spirit Stones he had acquired, an ostentatious display of wealth to the extreme.

Chen Che had no comment on the matter.

It was his personal gain, after all. His reach didn’t extend to meddling in other people’s private affairs.

The second piece of news concerned the Divine Court Wood.

After learning the origin of the Divine Court Tree from Tan Chen, Liu Yuanqing had been ordered to immediately send people to search along the river. After several days of effort, they had found two more, slightly smaller, Divine Court Trees.

One was four zhang tall, the other about six.

Of course, what pleased Chen Che the most was the discovery of what appeared to be Divine Court Tree Seeds.

Upon inspection, most of them were still viable but had never sprouted, having been buried deep underground where Spiritual Qi was insufficient. These seeds were now with the Liu Family, who were attempting to induce germination. As soon as they sprouted, they could be planted.

”Excellent. Tell Liu Yuanqing I’ll reward him with two thousand Spirit Stones for every seed that sprouts!”

Chen Che was incredibly pleased.

Once these Divine Court Trees were planted, he wouldn’t have to worry about his Divine Sense cultivation anymore. The trees might even continue to be useful after he reached the Nascent Soul Realm.

Third, Wang Chen had entered seclusion to prepare for Foundation Establishment.

As a first-generation disciple of the valley, he was naturally someone Chen Che valued. Moreover, not only was Wang Chen destined for a high position in the Law Enforcement Hall, but he also had a Golden Core Remnant Soul assisting him.

However, at his current level, his success in Foundation Establishment was practically guaranteed.

Once his cultivation stabilized, they could immediately begin preparations for the Law Enforcement Hall.

Of course, the jurisdiction of the Law Enforcement Hall wouldn’t be limited to the valley; it would also cover all the subordinate powers under their control.

If it weren’t for the Night Rain Hall, establishing the Law Enforcement Hall might have required a fair bit of his effort. But as things stood, Chen Che could be a hands-off manager.

However, of the three most outstanding disciples of this generation, there was still Yu Daogui from the Yu Family of Chi State. Chen Che hadn’t yet decided how to place him, though he was considering putting him in charge of the Sacrificial Hall in the future.

After all, since Lu Qinglian’s departure, the Sacrificial Hall had been left without a leader.

This hall was a mixed bag of characters. If the Law Enforcement Hall was a sharp sword pointed inward, then the Sacrificial Hall was the bared fangs facing outward. It required a person of sufficient strength and courage to oversee it, a task no less difficult than managing the Law Enforcement Hall.

He would have to wait until Yu Daogui achieved Foundation Establishment and then observe him for a while before making a final judgment.

After all, not every Cultivator was suited to managing a hall. The other disciples were a tier below; under normal circumstances, it would take them anywhere from a few years to three or four decades to reach Foundation Establishment.

The first three reports all concerned matters within the valley.

The last few were from the outside world.

First, the Evil Cultivator who had previously slaughtered several mortal cities had appeared again. This time, his methods were even more ruthless; he had devoured an entire mortal kingdom. A few Cultivators managed to escape and claimed to have seen him wielding a white Soul-Calling Banner.

For a time, rumors that Xiao Chan had struck again ran rampant.

But Chen Che knew that the culprit this time was likely Gongyang Shuo, the one wanted by Jinyun Valley. And according to a message from Yu Yunko, the man had probably already made contact with the Star-Picking Sect.

In addition, a large force of Star-Picking Sect Cultivators, numbering over a hundred, had invaded the territory of the Primordial Sect.
