What the Dawn Squad needed to do now was to extract all the materials left behind in this Universe World. This was a huge project, and with the current population of the Dawn Squad, there were more than thirty people in this region, but there are dozens of Universe World in this world, so there is no end to mining.
It would take at least several hundred years.
The only way was for Blue Sky Pass to send more people over, but Blue Sky Pass is a very important place, so a large number of people had to stay behind to prevent the Black Ink Clan from attacking, making it impossible to use too many people to extract resources.
The amount of manpower they could draw out was already the limit, and the manpower they could draw out was now scattered throughout the resource production area.
“Team Leader, although the Black Ink Clan has been driven out of this region, it’s hard to guarantee that there won’t be any scattering troops coming to harass us. I think we should not split up and act as a team. If we really encounter any problems, it will be easier for us to support each other,” Feng Ying suggested. She had also considered Yang Kai’s unfamiliarity with these matters, so she had said this. It wasn’t as if such a thing had never happened before. Although the probability of this happening wasn’t high, if it did, it would likely result in casualties.
“I’ll listen to you,” Yang Kai nodded, “What do you think we should do first?”
Feng Ying looked around for a moment before pointing to the largest Universe World and saying, “It’s right there. I just took a look over there and saw traces of the Black Ink Clan mining resources. Since the Black Ink Clan is already mining, it means there should be a lot of resources in this Universe World.”
“Then let’s go take a look.” Yang Kai waved his hand and Breaking Dawn immediately flew towards the Universe World.
A short while later, Breaking Dawn stop above a deserted mountain, Yang Kai looked up and saw that this Universe World was completely silent and devoid of life. Not only was there no sign of life, even the greenery was nowhere to be seen.
The World Force of Universe World in the Black Ink Battlefield had long since been devoured by the Black Ink Clan. Without the World Force, the Universe World was like a rootless tree and water source, it was naturally impossible to survive.
There were indeed traces of the Black Ink Clan mining resources here, and the entirety of the world territory was filled with signs of destruction.
This scene reminded Yang Kai of the situation in the Black Prison.
The Black Prison was also rich in all kinds of resources, but these resources were all hidden in the ore stars. One needed to collect black stones from the ore stars and use their World Force to break them open in order to extract the resources hidden within.
Most of the time, even after expending a great deal of effort, there was nothing in the black stone, and even if there was some harvest, the grade of resources obtained from the black stone would all depend on luck.
Extracting resources from the Black Prison was a big gamble.
If one’s luck was good, they could easily obtain Sixth Grade, Seventh Grade, or even Eighth Grade materials, but if one’s luck was bad, they would only be able to obtain a small harvest.
Previously, in order to deal with the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord, who was hiding in the center of the Black Prison, more than a hundred Cave Heaven Paradise had joined forces and mobilized a large number of people. After spending a hundred years mining all of the Black Territory’s Ore Stars, they had broken through the suppression of the Super Array, allowing them to fight with the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord. The amount of resources they had obtained during this time was simply unimaginable.
All of these resources had now fallen into High Heaven Palace’s pockets, so it could be said that the Cave Heaven Paradise had helped High Heaven Palace greatly. Otherwise, with just High Heaven Palace and Luan Baifeng’s subordinates’ strength, even if they spent thousands of years, they might not have been able to completely extract the Black Territory resources.
In this matter, High Heaven Palace had taken a huge advantage, but at the time, Yang Kai had been trapped in the Black Prison Prison and suppressed the Black Ink Clan’s Royal Lord alone, this was a kind of compensation from the Cave Heaven Paradise.
Currently, this resource production area's Universe World was no different from the ore stars in the Black Territory.
However, there wouldn’t be any black stones here, and whatever resources were mined would be the same. There was no need to bet on luck.
Thinking of the Black Territory, Yang Kai’s heart skipped a beat. In order to allow Luan Baifeng’s subordinates to open the Ore Star in peace, he had even specially refined a set of Artifacts that could teleport the ore stars. The Void Yin-Yang Mirror had no other use, but under such circumstances, it could teleport an entire Ore Star from a very far distance.
How similar was the situation in the Black Territory?
Just as he was thinking about this, he heard Feng Ying say, “Team Leader, there are rules in the pass. No matter who mined the resources, as long as they are used for their own cultivation, they are free to use them as they please. Only when there are a lot of resources will they be handed over to the pass and cannot be kept for personal use. Dawn has more people than the other teams, so can we split them up into several batches? When the others are mining the resources, leave a few people to guard the area.”
Yang Kai replied somewhat absentmindedly, “En, you arrange it, I’ll go investigate the nearby area.”
Saying so, he soared into the sky.
If his idea was feasible, there was no need for him to stay here and mine for resources. All he needed to do was move the stars here to the vicinity of Blue Sky Pass and the mining would be completed soon. After all, there were still more than twenty thousand people guarding the Blue Sky Pass, so the efficiency of mining there was much higher than the thirty or so of them.
Everyone was stunned, not knowing what Yang Kai was planning to do.
Shen Ao said, “Our Team Leader is acting so mysteriously, what is he going to do?”
Feng Ying shook her head, “I’m not sure, he’s just a Team Leader in name, he doesn’t really care about anything. Forget it, let’s just ignore him for now.” As she spoke, she divided the thirty or so people into six small teams, each of which was assigned with a Seventh Order Open Heaven leader. Each team would take turns to guard against any sneak attacks from the Black Ink Clan, and when one of the teams was on duty, the others would be able to mine the resources at ease.
After all, they would still be here for a few dozen years, and while on duty, they could also cultivate to increase their strength so as to avoid wasting time.
After Feng Ying finished distributing them, everyone immediately went back to their respective duties while Feng Ying followed the direction Yang Kai had left in, wanting to see what he was doing.
At this time, Yang Kai arrived at a nearby Universe World.
With his previous experience on moving the Ore Stars in Black Prison, Yang Kai was naturally familiar with such matters. The only thing he couldn’t be certain of now was that this place was still far from Blue Sky Pass, so he didn’t know if the Void Yin-Yang Mirror could support such a long distance teleportation.
However, he had to give it a try.
There were a total of sixteen Array Artifacts in the Void Yin-Yang Mirror, divided into two sets of Yin and Yang, each set consisting of eight Array Artifacts. Originally, Yang Kai had personally refined these Array Artifacts, but later on in the ruins of Great Evolution Paradise, he got Troublesome Grandmaster to refine them again, so their efficacy was far greater than before.
While he was investigating, a stream of light suddenly flew over from the distance. Yang Kai turned his head and recognized that it was Feng Ying.
When she got closer, Feng Ying asked curiously, “What are you doing here?”
Yang Kai said, “I have an idea. It’s good that you’re here, you can help me look after it for a while.”
Feng Ying nodded.
Yang Kai immediately took out the Void Yang Mirror’s eight Array Artifacts and began arranging them.
After about an hour or so, the eight Array Artifacts had been arranged. Feng Ying observed them from beginning to end, her expression gradually becoming solemn.
[Hoogsway: why don't he refine it into a World Bead. Or does it take longer? If he did this, he could probably hold his army like in the past.]
Although she didn’t know what Yang Kai was doing, the eight Array Artifacts had already locked onto this Universe World in front of her, so it was obvious he was planning something big.
Suddenly, Yang Kai appeared in front of her and said, “Keep watching, I’m going back to the pass.”
“Return to the pass?” Feng Ying was shocked, “What are you doing back there?”
“En!” Yang Kai said, “If this matter is successful, we won’t have to work so hard to mine resources here.”
Saying so, he changed his hand seals and began to activate the Universe Escape Law.
Before Feng Ying could ask any more questions, a huge Array appeared beneath Yang Kai’s feet and enveloped him in light. When the light faded, he had already disappeared.
Feng Ying couldn’t help shaking her head. She didn’t know what Yang Kai was up to, right now, it was the best time to extract resources, and every moment they wasted was a great waste of resources. However, she also knew that Yang Kai’s actions were not without reason, so she waited patiently.
However, she still couldn’t understand what was going on. If he succeeded, there would be no need for them to extract resources here. If you don't mine, can the resources come out on their own?
At the same time, Yang Kai’s figure appeared on the Expelling Black Ink Battleship that Blue Sky Pass had first built.
The other mountain passes only had four Expelling Black Ink Battleship each, with the North, South, East, and West each controlling one.
Only Blue Sky Pass has five ships, because at the very beginning, they had built an experimental model of the Expelling Black Ink Battleship. The Expelling Black Ink Battleships that were born later were all based on this model.
Currently, there was an Expelling Black Ink Battleship stationed at each of the four resource production area bases. This Expelling Black Ink Battleship, which had been built at the beginning, was left behind in the mountain pass, making it convenient for Yang Kai to travel there.
Walking out of the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, Yang Kai immediately headed towards the Western Army office.
Zhong Liang was in the middle of handling some official business, so when he saw Yang Kai arrive, he couldn’t help being surprised, “Why are you back? Shouldn’t you be at the fourth base?”
As he spoke, his expression changed slightly, “Did something happen over there?”
Yang Kai was surprised, “The Regiment Commander didn’t receive any news from that side?”
Zhong Liang said, “Naturally, I received it a long time ago. Didn’t it say you had already taken down the other side?”
Yang Kai nodded, “Yes, they did. They’re currently mining resources.”
Zhong Liang let out a sigh of relief, “You scared this old master so much. I thought something had happened. Since the battle has been decided, why did you come back instead of mining resources?”
Yang Kai said, “If you don’t understand, please come out with me, Regiment Commander. If this matter is successful, it will be of great benefit to the pass.”
Zhong Liang raised his brow, “What benefits?”
Yang Kai shook his head, “If it doesn’t work, it’s useless to say. If it does, the Regiment Commander will be able to see it with his own eyes.”
“Trying to act mysterious,” Zhong Liang snorted and stood up, “Fine, I’ll accompany you.”
If it was anyone else who said this, Zhong Liang would have forced him to say something first. As the Regiment Commander, he had a lot of work to do, so how could he waste so much time? However, considering Yang Kai’s performance over the past few years, he had always performed astonishing feats. When he heard that the deaths of the two Territory Lords in the fourth base were directly related to him, he immediately became patient.
Soon, the two of them left Blue Sky Pass and arrived outside.
Zhong Liang glanced over and frowned, “Boy, what do you want this old master to see? You can show it now.”
“Regiment Commander, please wait a moment,” Yang Kai said before immediately setting up his Void Yin Mirror.
