Chapter 464: Healing and Dongwang City

Upon returning to Dongwang City, Yun Ye sealed two disaster dolls and rushed to the Sacred Department Building to exchange for a large amount of Rare Treasures.

Although he possessed Holy Lineage blood, reducing the side effects of using evolution techniques, he still needed an extended period of rest.

In just one month, he had used the techniques twice, one of which involved the heavily burdening combination of three evolution techniques. If he did not exchange for some Rare Treasures to assist in stabilizing his condition, he feared he would hesitate in battle as a captain.

"Elder Brother, there are only five days left. Is that enough time?"

Shui Wuge asked.

"A little adjustment will suffice. And even if we lose, we can always reclaim it next year. Is there any need to rush? No, there isn’t," Yun Ye replied, shrugging.

Seeing Yun Ye’s calm demeanor, Shui Wuge realized that the situation was likely as he described—very close to the truth.

Just as she was about to say something, a voice suddenly interrupted.

"Changdong, you’re as arrogant as ever! But what happened to you in just a few days? You’re not taking care of yourself,"

Shui Riyue bounced by, "With this state, challenging Mom might not work. Sister suggests you just admit defeat. Otherwise, using spiritual blood will only worsen your injuries, and you might face gene collapse."

She spoke at her own pace, fading from view as if the orders to assassinate she had given earlier never happened.

"Let’s go, let’s go back and heal," Yun Ye ignored her comments.

Shui Wuge nodded in agreement, and they walked away together.

This left a group of people in the Sacred Department Building with varying expressions. Could it be that Shui Changdong had suffered such serious spiritual injuries?

This was interesting. A month ago, Shui Changdong had shocked many by slaying the Vice Captain under Shui Riyue, and many had high hopes for him, believing he might force Shui Weibai to reveal some of her hidden cards instead of being instantly defeated.

But now, it appeared their expectations had fallen short. Was Shui Changdong afraid of the battle’s outcome and deliberately injuring himself multiple times using spiritual blood to avoid fighting?

This speculation held validity; they cherished their lives. If faced with such an important battle, they would have certainly been more cautious. Why else would he have repeatedly used the forbidden techniques of spiritual blood around this time, unless it was intentional?

…

Upon returning to his mansion, Yun Ye waved his hand and set up a secret formation to disguise himself as someone reading a book.

He then infused spirit energy into his Storage Ring, releasing an alchemy furnace.

This furnace was a new model from Tomorrow Nation, highly effective in aiding alchemy. As long as the data was recorded, it could almost guarantee the production of top-quality spirit pills.

"Rise!"

Yun Ye released a rainbow ring as the furnace’s power source, then added a large amount of Rare Treasures to begin the alchemy process.

In the evening,

Yun Ye finished refining the pills. After a moment of satisfaction in assessing his work, he sat down and consumed a spirit pill to stabilize his spiritual body.

The evolution technique traced the strongest bloodline within him, but power couldn’t create from nothing; it still required support from his own spirit energy.

For some aspects, mere spirit energy was insufficient. He needed to decompose his own bloodline, Spiritual Roots, and even his soul to complete the process. This was extremely dangerous; even if successful, reassembling could destabilize the body, soul, and Spiritual Roots.

Thus, relying solely on Spiritual Law was challenging unless it involved time or life laws. Yun Ye had yet to master such profound Spirit Laws or Physical Laws, so he could only rely on external forces to heal, specifically the spirit pills made from various spiritual materials required by humans.

Top-grade spirit pills can change one’s constitution, purify spirit energy, and even transform the soul, making them the best external aid for healing such injuries.

In Dongwang City, almost no one could refine pills, so it was believed that his injuries would be extremely difficult to recover from.

Time passed quickly.

After five days, Yun Ye opened his eyes, and the crystal key around his neck began to vibrate, signaling that everything was about to begin.

Yun Ye pushed open the door, and Ming Hua was cleaning in the hallway. Seeing him come out, she quickly bowed. Yun Ye nodded silently and headed downstairs toward the Sacred Department Building.

"Elder Brother, let’s go together,"

Shui Wuge said as she stood up from the hall where she had been drinking tea.

The two of them left the family head’s mansion side by side and got into a special car.

Since there was still plenty of time, Yun Ye did not urge the driver to go too fast and took the opportunity to observe the scenery of Dongwang City along the way.

Dongwang City was a modern city devoid of spirit energy, bustling with residents. Life was hurried but peaceful and serene, without conflict or oppression.

This was quite natural; with a lifespan limited to only thirty years, fate was all too evident!

Even if one worked tirelessly, indulged in pleasure, or committed evil, when time was up, it would all vanish into thin air, making everything seem so unnecessary.

It could be disregarded whether powerful people existed among ordinary beings; even if they did, they ultimately faced the invincible spiritual clans and Holy Lineage.

Exploiting ordinary beings wouldn’t extend one’s lifespan, and killing them to maintain the order of spiritual clans and Holy Lineage was strictly forbidden.

Thus, Dongwang City entered a peculiar era of peace.

Yun Ye spread his Spirit Sense to cover a large area of the city, capturing the every move of millions of residents in his mind.

Afterwards, he confirmed his observations.

Among the ordinary populace of Dongwang City, although there was some deceit, it was merely conflict over interests, not the hidden plots and lethal schemes typical in power struggles. It was very ordinary, very peaceful, with no secret organizations; ordinary beings were wholly uninformed about the world.

"This situation…"

"Perhaps it is a disaster."

"Or, it might also be a stroke of luck."

Yun Ye’s gaze landed on the towering Sacred Department Building. Though this building served as the hub of Dongwang City, where was the true essence of Dongwang?

"Our main character has arrived!"

As Yun Ye and Shui Wuge stepped out of the car, someone coldly spoke with disdain. A glance revealed it was Team One’s Vice Captain of Water Palace.

For some reason, members of Team One lingered at the entrance, and Shui Qingya was notably absent, indicating they were waiting for their captain.

Besides him, the majority of Team Four members had arrived, including ordinary members.

Compared to the elite members, of which there were only fifteen, there were significantly more ordinary members, each team boasting about fifty; it was indeed quite lively.

Those who hadn’t come weren’t absent due to positions but simply because they were at odds with Yun Ye.

Yun Ye scanned the scene…

Team Three was present, but only one person from his Team Two was missing.

"Gongque Vice Captain, where is Team Two?"

Yun Ye asked.

"…Heh, go to the building and look for your Team Two. Without the captain’s ‘orders,’ they wouldn’t dare to act ‘on their own,’" the Vice Captain of Water Palace sneered.

The absence of even one member from Team Two already placed Yun Ye in a difficult position, so he naturally wished to rationalize their behavior, as theoretically, Team Two’s actions were indeed justifiable.

"That’s truly excellent!"

Shui Wuge, who had come down with Yun Ye, had a noticeable change in expression, growing visibly cold. Was this a calculated threat meant to put them in their place?

Did they think Shui Weibai could live another hundred years?

Shui Weibai became captain in her twenties and had served for seventy years, now nearing the end; opposing her elder brother would surely lead to reckoning in just a few years!

How foolish!
