As soon as the Formation was opened, several figures land into the Seven Skillful Land. There were quite a number of people who had come, numbering in the hundreds.
However, Yang Kai secretly observed them and found that although there were many of them, they only represented twenty or thirty forces. After all, each force would definitely send more than one person.
Some of these forces were led by Open Heaven Stage masters, but all of them were Low Rank Open Heaven cultivators, with the majority being Third Order, and a few Second Order. Some of them were even Emperor Realm. Yang Kai couldn’t understand why these forces were like this. Did they not even have Open Heaven Stage masters?
The old man in the lead had a head full of white hair and a healthy complexion. After landing, he immediately cupped his fists and greeted, “Golden Light Dock’s Hong Ji, greets Madam!”
Yang Kai was only an Emperor Realm, so he naturally didn’t put him in his eyes. These words were directed towards Yue He.
The representatives from the various forces behind him also stepped forward and shouted in unison, “Greetings, Madam!”
Yue He quickly waved her hand and shouted, “Wrong, wrong!”
Hong Ji asked in confusion, “What is wrong? Please enlighten me, Madam.” Inwardly, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before coming here, everyone had been wondering what kind of temper the new owner of this Seven Skillful Land had. If it was easy to get along with, then so be it, but if it was hard to get along with, it would be difficult for them to get along with them this time.
Now that he saw Yue He’s expression and tone, he immediately understood that although this woman’s cultivation was high, she wasn’t a difficult person to deal with, so this trip shouldn’t be too difficult.
Yue He pursed her lips and smiled, “I’m not some Madam, I’m just a maid. The one in charge here is my family’s Young Master.” Saying so, she pointed at Yang Kai.
Everyone was shocked. Most of them couldn’t sense Yue He’s cultivation, but only those Third Order Open Heaven knew that this woman was unfathomable and was definitely a Mid Rank Open Heaven.
But now, this Mid Rank Open Heaven actually called herself a maid, and the Emperor Realm youth beside her was the real master?
Who was this young man?
However, no matter what his background was, no one dared to be negligent. All of them straightened their expressions and bowed again, “We greet Sir!”
Hong Ji even lowered his head to his knees and respectfully said, “This old master’s eyes are blurry from old age, please forgive me!”
Yang Kai smiled lightly and waved his hand, “Those who don’t know are not guilty, stand up.”
“Many thanks, Sir!” Everyone stood up and looked at Yang Kai again, their expressions completely different from before. Although they had also seen Yang Kai before, none of them had taken him seriously, only thinking that he was a servant by Yue He’s side. Now, Yue He, a Fifth Order Open Heaven, was actually the servant!
Hong Ji secretly wiped the sweat from his brow and wore a smile on his face as he looked towards Yang Kai and said, “Sir’s Dragon and Tiger's aura is extraordinary, no wonder you were able to obtain this Seven Skillful Land. Now that this place has changed Owner, it is truly the Seven Skillful Territory's good fortune, and also our good fortune!”
This old man’s blatant flattery made many people secretly despise him, but all of them nodded in agreement. There was nothing they could do about it. Before, they had to rely on Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch's face to act, but now they had to look at Yang Kai’s face.
This was the tragedy of a small force, unless their entire family fled the Seven Skillful Territory.
However, even if they left the Seven Skillful Territory, where could they go? This world was vast, and all the Spirit Province with some hidden resources had already been occupied. If they rashly intruded into someone else’s territory, it would certainly cause some conflict.
Yang Kai smiled reservedly, appearing unfathomable.
Hong Ji continued, “This old master is quite rude, may I ask how to address Sir?”
Yang Kai was stunned for a moment, he hadn’t thought of this point yet, but he quickly smiled and said, “You can call me Void True Lord.”
His title in the Star Boundary was Void Great Emperor, which was why he was using it here.
Moreover, the title of True Lord was normally only given to the Chief of the lower tier forces, such as Great Moon Province’s Chief, Great Moon True Lord. Once one reached the middle class forces, they would become a Heavenly Monarch, an existence like Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch.
Yang Kai was an Emperor Realm, so he shouldn’t have the qualifications to use such a title, but at this moment, no one present felt anything was wrong.
He had a Mid Rank Open Heaven maid with an extraordinary background, so what was wrong with using the title of True Lord?
Everyone bowed again and said, “Greetings, True Lord!”
Yang Kai smiled and said, “All of you are guests from afar, come inside and have a chat.”
Hong Ji bowed and said, “Then I will trouble the True Lord.”
A group of several hundred people followed Yang Kai and Yue He into the main hall. The main hall was spacious and had many seats, with two rows of guests sitting on the left and right. Hong Ji sat in the first seat on Yang Kai’s left.
No one offered tea, after all, the Seven Skillful Land was currently lacking in manpower.
However, Hong Ji and the others didn’t dare to complain, all of them sitting up straight with solemn expressions.
Hong Ji stood up and called out, “True Lord has just obtained the Seven Skillful Land, congratulations! Golden Light Dock offers two hundred thousand Open Heaven Pills, ten drops of Diamond Rain Nectar, and a thousand-year-old Blood Coral as a present!”
Saying so, he handed over a Space Ring with both hands and raised it up high.
Yang Kai smiled and said, “Golden Light Dock is sincere, this True Lord will remember it.”
Tilting his head slightly, Yue He accepted the ring and Hong Ji smiled, “A small token of respect, making True Lord laugh.”
To Yang Kai, this gift was indeed a small gift, so he didn’t even have the mood to look at it. The Open Heaven Pill in his hand was worth hundreds of millions, so how could he care about a mere two hundred thousand? The Diamond Rain Nectar was probably a special product of Golden Light Dock, it should only be a Third Grade resource. The only interesting thing was the Thousand Year Blood Coral. It might be useful, but its value wasn’t high.
But for a third class force, such an item was a considerable amount of wealth. Just the two hundred thousand Open Heaven Pills were enough to buy a fourth grade resource, and the third class force didn’t even have a Mid Rank Open Heaven.
Immediately after Hong Ji, another force’s representative presented a gift.
Yang Kai naturally didn’t refuse, allowing Yue He to accept all of them. These forces had probably discussed this beforehand, so the value of these gifts wasn’t too far off. To them, these gifts were precious, but it would not hurt their foundation.
Yang Kai could also understand this.
When they were giving gifts, they naturally didn’t forget to introduce themselves. Yang Kai soon learned that in this Seven Skillful Territory, besides the second class force, Seven Skillful Territory, there were also seven third class forces.
There were more than seven groups of people, and the rest were the representatives from the Universe World!
Only now did Yang Kai realize that under the Seven Skillful Land's jurisdiction, there were actually more than a dozen Universe Worlds. All of these people were the Great Emperors of the Universe Worlds, the top figures of their respective worlds.
The gifts they sent weren’t as good as those from the Third Class forces. They were all specialties from their respective worlds, better than nothing. After all, they belonged to the Seven Skillful Land, so it could be said that everything in this Universe World belonged to the Seven Skillful Land.
Yang Kai’s eyes lit up when he heard this!
He didn’t care about these gifts. To him, the most precious things were undoubtedly the dozen or so Universe Worlds.
Controlling these Universe World meant that in the future, there would be a steady stream of talents!
After secretly sending a voice transmission to Yue He, he learned that this phenomenon was very common in the entire Three Thousand Worlds. Every force controlled a large number of Universe Worlds, such as the Golden Light Dock where Hong Ji lived. There were also a few Universe Worlds under his jurisdiction, but they were not as numerous as the Seven Skillful Land.
As for those Cave Heaven Paradise, which one of them didn’t control the Universe Worlds of the entire Great Domain or even several nearby Great Domains? Selecting talents from these countless Universe Worlds was the only way to ensure that one’s family would have a steady stream of experts!
In other words, the Star Boundary was located in a remote location and was almost isolated from the outside world, so it knew nothing about these Three Thousand Worlds.
Inside the main hall, Yang Kai was chatting happily. Although he wasn’t proficient in the way of an Emperor towards his Servant, he understood the principle of showing both kindness and authority. Now that he had borrowed the power of Yue He, a Fifth Order Open Heaven Stage cultivator, to give them some face was a kind of kindness, causing everyone to sigh. This new True Lord was much easier to get along with than Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch.
“Seven Skillful Heavenly Monarch is dead, and this Seven Skillful Land could not keep its name. This King wishes to rename this place the Void Land. What do you all think?” Yang Kai looked down and asked.
Hong Ji was the first to respond, “Of course! With True Lord overseeing the Void Land, the Void Territory will definitely become famous throughout the Three Thousand Worlds in the future, no one can look down on us.”
Yang Kai had only wanted to change the name of the Seven Skillful Land, but he had directly changed the Seven Skillful territory to Void Territory. His flattery was obvious, but it was not repulsive.
Yang Kai laughed and said shamelessly, “Naturally.”
Suddenly, he frowned and said, “However, my Void Land has just experienced a great battle and this protective array has suffered many damages. Although I ordered someone to ask Grandmaster to repair it, this person’s hands are still lacking…”
Without waiting for Yang Kai to finish, Hong Ji said, “Rest assured, True Lord. After this old master returns to Golden Light Dock, I will immediately send some disciples to assist you, but my Golden Light Dock doesn’t have many disciples, only five hundred people can come over. I hope True Lord can forgive me.”
Immediately, another person stood up, “Reporting to True Lord, my Flying Crane Sect can also send five hundred disciples.”
One after another, people stood up and declared that each of the seven forces would be able to mobilize a few hundred people to help. In just a short time, the seven forces had gathered several thousand people.
Yang Kai’s face lit up as he nodded repeatedly, “Good, good, good. Since everyone is so considerate, I hope that when you return this time, you can send your disciples over as soon as possible. Don’t worry, I won't let them work for nothing. Each of them will be given two Open Heaven Pills a day. If there is anyone who is proficient in Spirit Arrays, the compensation will be different.”
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up!
Two Open Heaven Pills a day wasn’t a lot, but five hundred disciples was equivalent to a thousand Open Heaven Pill a day, and repairing the Spirit Array wasn’t something that could be done in a day or two. It was highly likely it would take a year or so, so the income would be quite generous.
No one had thought that they would be able to gain some benefits from this, so they couldn’t help feeling a bit grateful towards Yang Kai. After all, even if Yang Kai didn’t give them anything, they would still have to work for him.
At that moment, all of them felt somewhat regretful. If they had known this would happen, they would have send more people.
After chatting for a while more, everyone bid their farewells, obviously realizing that there were benefits to be gained, all of them couldn’t wait to go back and recruit disciples.
The seven forces quickly left, leaving behind a dozen or so representatives from the Universe Worlds who stared at Yang Kai expectantly.
