Chapter 558 – Imperial Court’s Summon
Translator: Xaiomoge
Under the pressure of the terrifying might, Warlocks below the Moonlight Warlock rank were forced to kneel on the ground, trembling. Only Moonlight Warlock rank experts and above can resist the might emitted by the imperial edict.
After going through the Great Warlock and Starry Sky Warlock rank, and then advancing to the Moonlight Warlock rank, the soul of human Warlocks has undergone tremendous changes. At this point, human Warlocks no longer fear divine might, demonic might, dragon might, and the like.
The middle-aged eunuch saw the Moonlight Warlocks standing upright, frowned slightly, and said with a solemn expression: “By the heavens’ wiliness and the Emperor’s decree the Battle Demon Sect’s Yang Feng who has both integrity and talent is hereby summoned to go to the the holy Cloud Capital to pay His Majesty the Emperor respect and assume a post.”
When the middle-aged eunuch announced the imperial edict, the Moonlight Warlock rank experts and above bowed slightly to show their respect for the royal family.
In the Great Cloud Dynasty, the Imperial Court is the strongest force, and the royal family controls most of the Imperial Court. Unless the Ten Great Sects and Eight Great Families unite seamlessly, it is impossible to subvert the royal family. Therefore, the people of the great sects and families still have a certain awe of the Imperial Court.
Yang Feng relied flatly: “I’m grateful to His Majesty!”
After hearing the imperial edict, many Warlock representatives looked at Yang Feng with envy and jealousy, and the same is true for many warlocks from the Ten Great Sects.
In addition to the disciples that the Ten Great Sects and Eight Great Families sent to the Imperial Court to serve, the Imperial Court still has the right to conscript one or two Moonlight Warlocks every so often.
Under normal circumstances, the Imperial won’t exercise this right. After all, it has countless experts, holds control of more than 100 planes, and possess countless resources.
There have been many experts who are focused on cultivation recruited by the Imperial Court, among which there is no lack of Glorious Sun Warlocks and Bright World Warlocks, and there are even Infinity Warlocks.
The most powerful Moonlight Warlocks in the Great Cloud Dynasty the Moonlight Seven Stars serve the Imperial Court as officials.
For his Majesty the Emperor to actively summon Yang Feng to the holy Cloud Capital, he clearly wants to put the latter in an important position.
Generally, after the disciples of the Ten Great Sects advance to the Moonlight Warlock rank, they will join the Imperial Court and grasp part of the power of the Great Cloud Dynasty and obtain tremendous cultivation resources. At the same time, they will safeguard the interests of their respective sects.
It is very advantageous for the disciples of the Ten Great Sects and Eight Great Families to join the Imperial Court. As for Warlock geniuses who are actively recruited by the Imperial Court, they are future pillars of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
The middle-aged eunuch took a deep look at Yang Feng and uttered: “Yang Feng, please arrive at the Cloud Capital within three months. I will now go back and report the completion of my task.”
Yang Feng asked: “Excuse me, Sir, may I have your name?”
The middle-aged eunuch smiled lightly: “I am called Liu Fu. Yang Feng, goodbye!”
With this, Liu Fu escorted by the 20 Starry Sky Warlocks turned around and strode out.
The Moonlight Ceremony ended shortly after Liu Fu left, and Yang Feng returned to the Immortal Huang Palace and told everything that transcribed to Huang Yihe.
Huang Yihe pondered for a while, and then said: “A summon of His Majesty the Emperor? It seems that your performance in the Time Sky City was really dazzling. What’s your plan?”
Yang Feng answered: “Originally, I planned to go to the Astral Realm to collect cultivation resources. But with the imperial edict, I can only go to the Cloud Capital.”
Originally, Yang Feng had planned to to enter closed door cultivation for a period of time and further cultivate the Transcendent Pupils, and then go to the Andrak Plane to obtain enough Bamhagra Stone to create a level-3 optical computer. Next, he wanted to travel the Great Cloud Dynasty under an alias.
The Emperor’s summon has disrupted all of Yang Feng’s plans.
Huang Yihe spoke with a smile: “The holy Cloud Capital is a place where people of different walks of life mingle. There are many opportunities there. Feng’er, you don’t need to worry. You are now a Moonlight Warlock. Even if the Imperial Court assigns you a post, you’ll have little to do. With enough assistants, you may even enter closed door cultivation.”
Moonlight Warlocks may spend decades or even 100 years on research. Most Moonlight Warlocks focused on the practice of cultivation aren’t willing to be distracted by ordinary affairs. Therefore, the Great Cloud Dynasty will provide them with many assistants who can handle most affairs. Only some major events will require the attention of the Moonlight Warlocks.
In the Turandot Subcontinent, many Warlock groups like to hide behind the scenes and manipulate states like puppets to collect resources for them.
Different from the Turandot Subcontinent, the continent has abundant resources, a vast area, and has experienced the Eight Warlock Dynasties. The Warlocks here have rich experience in the exercise of power and practice of cultivation. The greater the power, the more cultivation resources you can obtain, the smoother your cultivation will be, and the higher you cultivation base will be.
As long as there are enough assistants, then even if Warlocks at the Moonlight Warlock rank and above enter closed door cultivation for decades or even a century, it won’t affect the operation of the the state.
Take Yuan Yi who guards the Demonic Realm as example, he spends most of his time on cultivation and research of secret methods. He won’t take action if there is no major event.
Yang Feng felt relieved after hearing this.
As the backbone of the Great Cloud Dynasty, the Cloud Capital is not only filled with powerhouses, but also has at least 10 Infinity Warlocks.
Many human Warlock geniuses gathered in the Cloud Capital in the hopes of joining the Imperial Court and obtaining various secret methods and cultivation resources.
In the Cloud Capital, Great Warlocks and Starry Sky Warlocks can be seen everywhere, and there is even no shortage of Moonlight Warlocks and Glorious Sun Warlocks. It is not an exaggeration to call it an extremely dangerous place. Even Infinity Warlocks don’t dare to act presumptuously inside the Cloud Capital. Otherwise, they may be eliminated.
Yang Feng originally planned to travel to the Cloud Capital after he reached the Glorious Sun Warlock rank. After all, the stronger he was, the easier it will be for him in the Cloud Capital.
Huang Yihe waved his hand, and a stand-in doll engraved with seals flew into Yang Feng’s hand: “Since His Majesty has decreed for you to go to the Cloud Capital, there is nothing to do about it. This is a stand-in doll. If someone uses a soul extinction curse on you, this stand-in doll can die instead of you once.”
As the casting distance increases, the power of common spells decreases. Separated by a distance of tens of thousands of kilometers, Infinity Warlocks can kill Starry Sky Warlocks at most. Soul extinction curses are very queer. Separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, the caster can curse the enemy through some casting mediums without the power of the curse decreasing in the slightest. Such curses are intractable.
Yang Feng took the stand-in doll inscribed with seals and spoke with a look of gratefulness in his eyes: “Thank you, Teacher.”
Huang Yihe smiled and handed a jade card engraved with more than a dozen seals to Yang Feng: “I have a few friends whom I haven’t seen for many years in the Cloud Capital. You can go to them with this jade card and ask them to take care of you.”
“Yes, Teacher!”
“Now, if you have any questions about cultivation, just ask away.”
“Okay!”
One after another, Yang Feng consulted Huang Yihe about all kinds of problems he encountered in cultivation.
In a few words, Huang Yihe dispelled all doubts that Yang Feng encountered in his cultivation. As if a fog blocking his advancement has cleared, Yang Feng could now ‘see’ farther ahead.
The Cloud Province is a greater province that houses the Great Cloud Dynasty’s royal family. At the time, with the Cloud Province as the base and the help of the Ten Great Sects and the Eight Great Families, the founding emperor of the Great Cloud Dynasty began his conquest. After defeating numerous Warlock groups, he took control of the Eastern World, and created the Great Cloud Dynasty.
It was because of this achievement that the Ten Great Sects and the Eight Great Families have been able to become the top forces in the Eastern World. At the same time, in order to defend their rights, these top forces send numerous Warlock geniuses to join the Imperial Court and become officials of the Great Cloud Dynasty.
Cloud Province, inside a luxurious flying boat flying towards the Cloud Capital.
“Amazing!” Strolling alone inside the luxurious flying boat, Yang Feng looked at the snow-white glossy floor. On huge crystal panels inlaid in the surroundings, a beautiful female celebrity sang with great emotion and a dozen girls danced seductively behind her.
Made from mirage crystals and enchanted with various spells, these huge crystal panels can transmit images.
In the continent, many spells have been commercialized. Since magic stones can be mass-produced, there are many simple secret treasures that use magic stones available on the market.
Magic lamps, TV-like magic tablets, magic chariots, and other such secret treasures have become very popular in the continent, and even ordinary people can use them.
Of course, these secret treasures that use life magic energy can only be used in cities equipped with super large purification devices. Once ordinary people leave these cities, they may be eroded by the powerful life magic energy and become strange monsters when using these secret treasures.
Only official Warlocks can freely utilize all kinds of simple secret methods that use magic stones as energy source and truly enjoy the conveniences brought by the magic civilization.
Yang Feng looked around and exclaimed: “Apart from the lack of Internet and some special electrical appliances, many conveniences brought by Earth’s science and technology are realized here by using spells. As expected of the most advanced and powerful human Warlock civilization.”
