Looking at Elder Ruyan, who was a little frightened, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial tried to speak in a softer tone. “Sister Ruyan, I believe your idea is very impressive. Do you mind elaborating it further for us?
‘Does this mean he wants me to explain to him?’
Elder Ruyan was a little nervous about what to do.
What if her explanation was not good? What if he was unsatisfied by her explanation?
Chu Kuangren spoke to her telepathically from behind. “Elder Ruyan, keep your head up and speak your mind. Don’t forget. Your Sect Leader is still holding the fort here.”
Upon hearing this, Elder Ruyan started to feel more confident.
Then, she told them her ideas and opinions.
Although she was stuttering and stumbling in her words at the start, her explanation got smoother the more she spoke. All of her ideas gradually flowed out like water from a floodgate.
The Daoist Celestials’ eyes lit up as they listened.
“Sister Ruyan, your ideas are simply amazing.”
“That’s right. If we carry out Elder Ruyan’s plan accordingly, Firmament Star’s forces will eventually unite. This will certainly help us tremendously to progress into an interstellar civilization.”
The Daoist Celestials said happily.
Elder Ruyan was relieved to see the Daoist Celestials’ reactions. Although they had lived way longer than her, it seemed that they were still lacking knowledge in this area compared to her.
She suddenly became delighted.
It turned out that she could still be of some help to her Sect Leader after all.
She had been worrying about this for the past few days because Chu Kuangren was now no longer just the Black Heaven Sect Leader.
He had become the king of the human race.
As such, his attention on the Black Heaven Sect would surely decrease. Besides, seeing that he now had a group of capable Daoist Celestials by his side, she feared that she would appear too inferior compared to them. After all, she was not even an Emperor.
Furthermore, she was neither as talented as the other cultivators nor possessed any uniquely powerful Daoist Physiques or techniques of the sort. Hence, it would take time for her to catch up to Chu Kuangren’s level.
She worried that she would become more and more distant from her Sect Leader because of that.
At that thought, she felt very sad.
However, she did not think that way anymore.
Although there were plenty of powerful cultivators around her Sect Leader, these people would usually be busy with their cultivation. Hence, their handling of internal affairs was not as good as hers.
It turned out she was quite useful to her.
Seeing the Daoist Celestials who were discussing the things she mentioned, Elder Ruyan realized that her throat had dried up from all the talking just now. She was about to get up to have a drink.
At that moment, a cup of tea suddenly floated towards her.
It was from Chu Kuangren.
“Thanks for all your hard work, Elder Ruyan.”
“Thanks, Sect Leader.” Elder Ruyan received that cup of tea.
“Elder Ruyan, I’m giving you full authority to deal with the matters of establishing a new empire. If you need any help, please don’t hesitate to bring it up to me.” Chu Kuangren smiled.
“Huh? You want me to handle something so important?”
“Weren’t you the one who proposed this in the first place, Elder Ruyan? So, of course, you’ll have to be the one to see it through,” Chu Kuangren said and chuckled.
Elder Ruyan was a little hesitant.
Beside her, Daoist Celestial Luo Shui also chuckled and said, “Our King is right. We’re not that good at dealing with things like that, so we’ll be looking forward to working with you, Elder Ruyan.”
“That’s right. Since our King has already given the green light, you can just relax and carry out your plan, Sister Ruyan. If anyone dares to stand in your way, just let us know.”
“Ha! Let’s see who has the gall to stop us from building an empire.”
A few of the most powerful Daoist Celestials said.
Elder Ruyan nodded her head seriously. “Alright.”
That was how Elder Ruyan, a cultivator who was not even an Emperor, became someone with the highest authority in the whole Firmament Star, second only to Chu Kuangren.
…
Chu Kuangren had left the matter of building an empire to Elder Ruyan and the others.
Hence, he returned to the Towering Heaven Palace, preparing to enter closed-door meditation.
“Although we’ll soon unite all the forces in Firmament Star, we still need an absolute form of power if our civilization is to stand proudly in the universe. A civilization without Immortals won’t go far.”
“My most important goal now is to become an Immortal!”
Chu Kuangren mumbled.
He then took out a rhombus-shaped crystal. It was a piece of divine fragment.
It belonged to the King of Gods.
Inside that divine fragment contained a tremendous amount of energy. However, besides the King of God’s power, a part of the Godly Mountain Source was also inside it.
Any ordinary cultivator would never be able to refine such an amount of energy.
However, since Chu Kuangren possessed the Universal Cauldron Physique, he could do it!
With that, he started to refine the divine fragment.
Time flew by, and almost six months had passed.
On this very day.
Chu Kuangren woke up from his closed-door meditation.
He had completely refined the energy inside the divine fragment. Now, his cultivation level had progressed from a new Minor Daoist Celestial all the way to a late-stage Minor Daoist Celestial.
Nevertheless, that was only his cultivation level.
It could not be used as a metric for measuring his combat strength.
With his Prominent-grade Emperor’s Core, Prominent-quality Dao, and Prominent-grade Esoteric Art, his combat strength was already on par with those of a level above him.
Not to mention, he had his Heavenly Dao power, mind power, Immortal Techniques, Immortal Body, and many more trump cards up his sleeve. He could even fight a Great Daoist Celestial head-on.
It might not even be a problem for him to win against a normal Great Daoist Celestial.
“I wonder how far Elder Ruyan and the others have progressed.”
Chu Kuangren mobilized his Emperor Thoughts to cover the entire Black Heaven Sect.
He could see Lan Yu cultivating her techniques.
Murong Xuan and Nangong Huang were sparring with each other.
Lil Red, the Godly Phoenix, was sneakily eating a few spirit fruits in the Clear Winter Valley.
Honorable Xuan Qi was playing chess with the Third Forefather, and he seemed like he was on the losing end. Meanwhile, the Seventh Forefather was watching their match, bouncing up and down anxiously since he could not help either side.
Somehow, the White-Robed General had sought out the Innate Ferocious Daoist Celestial, trying to get some pointers about the mysteries of the Infallible Tormented Physique…
Everywhere his Emperor Thoughts went, he saw everything happening all around the Black Heaven Sect from his mind.
A few moments later.
He found Elder Ruyan. She was with Gu Linglong at that time, with the map of the Firmament Star in front of them.
The both of them were discussing building an empire.
They even tried simulating their ideas using the sand table beside them when they reached an important point. It was clear that the two of them were more attentive in dealing with this matter than Chu Kuangren.
“Linglong used to be the Royal Azure Dynasty’s queen, so she has experience in managing a country. It seems like she’s the right person to work together with Elder Ruyan in this case,” Chu Kuangren thought.
After that, he opened the Fantasy Roulette.
“Congratulations, Host. You have received a Legendary-grade item – Advanced Warship Blueprint.”
It was a blueprint for constructing a warship.
Chu Kuangren retrieved that item with a pondering look in his eyes. “This came at just the right time.”
If the human race were to progress into space, other than relying on powerful cultivators, having various cultivation methods was also essential.
Pill refining, weaponsmithing, runes, formations, and more.
Among them, one thing stood out as the most important, and that was the method of transportation in space — a warship that could be used for prolonged combat.
The manufacturing of such warships was very complicated as it involved a range of formations, runes, and other techniques. The level of technology present in a warship was usually a sign of how advanced and highly developed a civilization was.
Chu Kuangren took a look at the warship blueprints he got. The formations and runes inscribed on it were far beyond the level of the Firmament Star’s most advanced warships. It was even more high-tech than the Blood Origin Star’s warships.
“I’ll bring this to the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial and Formation Daoist Celestial for them to study this properly,” Chu Kuangren thought.
His figure disappeared in a flash before arriving on an asteroid in the Extraterritorial Region the next moment.
With his current strength, he could pass through the Detaching Heaven Megaformation at will without the help of the teleportation camps.
After finding the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial, Chu Kuangren took out the warship blueprints and showed them. When the Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial saw it, he looked as if he had just found a great treasure.
“This is amazing. It’s simply amazing. If we had warships of this caliber back then, our battle with the Blood Tribe wouldn’t have been that hard-fought. Where did you get this blueprint from, my King?”
“I got it somewhere by luck.” Chu Kuangren chuckled.
The Crimson Sun Daoist Celestial did not question him more and quickly called the Formation Daoist Celestial, an elderly man with a long beard. The two of them then started to study that blueprint together.
Chu Kuangren did not disturb them, and after briefing them about a few matters, he did not return to the Firmament Star right away either. Instead, he wandered about in space.
“It’s been a while since I’ve upgraded my Stellar Undying Body.. Let’s find a planet to devour then,” Chu Kuangren thought.
