Visitors Arrive in Droves, an Urgent Mission

Lin Yi's gaze swept over the twenty-odd Constant Guard in front of him, and he knew that apart from those who were on missions and those on the Frontline the Black Mist Sea, those who were free within the cosmic domain should have all returned.

Standing at the forefront were two Constant Guard at the Eternal Source Realm Completion.

The one on the left is tall and thin, with vertical diamond-shaped pupils and a very fine dark blue light pattern around the edge of the pupils, a characteristic of the Abyssal Flow Race's variant bloodline.

The man on the right was a burly man from the Fusion Flame Race, with a pair of curved, dark red horns on his forehead. The inscriptions on his horns were much sparser than those on You Na's, but the aura he exuded was more profound and weighty.

Lin Yi recognized the two people at a glance.

After all, there are only about a hundred Constant Guard in the entire Silent Cosmos Domain, so he naturally knows them by heart.

The man on the left is named Saen, Eternal Source Realm Completion, and is Wen Xiao's most senior and capable Constant Guard.

The man on the right is Levo, a Fusion Flame Race. He is also at the Eternal Source Realm Completion and possesses formidable combat power. He once fought against three other peak Eternal Source Realm Completion cultivators without being at a disadvantage. Before he joined the Constant Guard, he was widely recognized as the next person to break through to the Constant Source Realm.

And it remains the same now.

Lin Yi only stole his title for a few hundred thousand Epoch before returning it to him.

"Your subordinate, Saen, respectfully welcomes the Inspector."

"Your subordinate, Levo, respectfully welcomes the Inspector."

They both spoke at the same time.

Lin Yi nodded slightly in return.

The Constant Guard are all pragmatic in nature, without much fuss or fancy stuff; when giving instructions, they just get straight to the point.

"Saen, Levo."

Lin Yi said, "Inspector Wen Xiao has other important matters to attend to and is temporarily unable to return to the Silent Cosmos Domain. From today onwards, I will assume the position of Inspector. My time in the Silent Cosmos Domain is short, and I will need your coordination on many matters."

Saen's diamond-shaped pupils lingered on Lin Yi's face for a moment, then he bowed slightly. "Inspector, you're too kind. We will naturally cooperate fully."

Levo grinned, the inscription on his triangular face flashing slightly. "Hehe, I've watched the footage of the Inspector taking on five opponents Mist Sea City several times. I, Old Lei, am convinced."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi's lips curled up slightly.

I hadn't really had any contact with this Levo before, but now he seems to be quite straightforward.

Just as he was about to say something more, the Constant Guard insignia on his chest suddenly trembled slightly.

A faint glimmer of light flashed from the edge of the emblem, and then a voice rang in his mind.

"Newly appointed Inspector Lin Yi, your permissions have been successfully integrated with the intelligent system."

Lin Yi felt a slight chill run down his spine.

It was the voice of the intelligent master at headquarters.

Its existence is a crucial guarantee for the Constant Guard to maintain efficient operation among the four Constant Domain.

Lin Yi silently replied in his mind, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Yan."

"Your personal training room has been unlocked, located on the seventy-third floor of the tower. The current list of pending matters in the Silent Cosmos Domain has been synchronized to your insignia, totaling forty-seven items. Among them, there are thirty-nine routine matters that do not require your personal attention, which will be handled by Saen and Levo as usual. There are eight important matters that require your personal review, one of which is time-sensitive and should be prioritized."

"What is that time-sensitive matter?" he asked himself.

"He Yongzhen, the patriarch of the He Family, requests an audience with the newly appointed Inspector. According to the Constant Guard's custom, after the new Inspector takes office, the patriarchs of various families in the universe usually come to pay their respects within ten Epoch to confirm whether the Inspector has any new requests. He Yongzhen is the first to submit an application."

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow slightly.

He Yongzhen.

Of course he remembered that name.

When he was staying at the Wen Family in Silent Giant City, he went to the Ring Arena to fight in order to earn Eternal Cosmos Crystal, and swept through the True Source Realm and won 272 consecutive victories.

That arena was owned by the He Family.

After his winning streak ended, the He Family not only paid his accumulated appearance fee and 100-win bonus as per the rules, but also gave him an additional 200,000 Eternal Cosmos Crystal as a gesture of goodwill.

The He Family runs the Ring Arena, which is in a gray area, but he actually has a pretty good impression of Ring Arena.

When he was competing there, the He Family followed the rules from beginning to end. They did not sabotage him behind his back because of his many consecutive wins. As far as he knew, he had not heard of any cases of forcing someone to go up and compete.

As for those who were lured by the high prize money advertised by the He Family, as cultivators, they didn't even know their own limitations. They blindly rushed in to pursue a winning streak, only to end up injured or even dead. Who can they blame for that? Even without the arena, they would have died elsewhere because of their greed.

"Reply to He Yongzhen," Lin Yi said in his mind, "We can meet tomorrow."

"It's already arranged. In addition, the visits from the heads of the Huo Family, Wen Family, and other major families have been submitted one after another. Should we arrange those as well?"

"Just arrange them in order," Lin Yi replied.

"Understood. Your private training room is ready on the seventy-third floor. The handover information crystal left by Inspector Wen Xiao before his departure has been stored in the training room."

Lin Yi nodded, withdrawing his thoughts from the depths of his consciousness. He turned to look at Saen and Levo, briefly instructing them. "Handle routine matters as usual. Send any documents requiring my signature directly to the cultivation room. The He Family patriarch will be visiting tomorrow; please notify me then."

"Yes," Saen replied with a slight bow.

Levo grinned and said, "Understood. Go ahead and get busy, sir. We'll keep an eye on things here."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, first instructing Ellie and Xuanji to allocate his courtyard, while he himself headed towards the tower.

The tower of the Constant Guard's headquarters in the Silent Cosmos Domain is exactly the same as it was when he first came here.

The ever-burning pale gold crystals continued to slowly circulate on the tower's surface, each flicker creating a tiny ripple of light.

He passed through the archway and stepped inside the tower.

The teleportation array beneath his feet lit up automatically, and in the next instant, he found himself standing in front of a dark golden door.

This is the seventy-third floor.

Lin Yi raised his hand and placed it on the intricate talisman in the center of the gate. The Constant Guard insignia automatically sensed this, and the gate slid open silently.

What appeared before him was a private cultivation room that was even more spacious than the Seventh Court and the Constant Island Constant Lord Manor he had previously lived in combined.

In the very center of the cultivation room was a circular stone platform slightly raised above the ground, and next to the platform floated a palm-sized, deep purple information crystal.

Lin Yi reached out and took the crystal, placing it between his eyebrows.

The information Wen Xiao left behind then flooded into his consciousness.

"Levo, congratulations on breaking through to the Constant Source Realm. By the time you see this message, I'll already be deep within the Black Mist Sea."

Levo?

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, then realized what he meant and burst into laughter.

He now knows that Wen Xiao took on the Commander's mission and went deep into the Black Mist Sea not long after arranging for him to go to Constant Island for exchanges. Obviously, in Wen Xiao's view, his successor should be Levo without any surprises.

According to the tradition of the Constant Guard, even if the position of Inspector is temporarily vacant, unless no one in the local Constant Guard has broken through to the Constant Source Realm for a long time, people are generally not transferred from other places.

In any case, if a major case occurs that requires Constant Source Realm to take charge, the Eternal Source Realm Completion, which is in charge of the affairs, can also apply to other cosmic domains for reinforcements.

Meanwhile, Wen Xiao's voice continued.

"The position of Inspector can be busy or leisurely. Apart from the newly joined Lin Yi, the other Constant Guard are all experienced and can handle their daily affairs. If there are any tricky matters, you should contact Raymond in the Silent Vast Cosmos Domain or Soan the Silent Annihilation Cosmos Domain first. I spoke with them before I left."

"By the way, since Lin Yi is a newcomer, I arranged for him to go to Constant Island for an exchange. After the exchange, with his talent, he should at least be able to reach the mid-stage of the Eternal Source Realm. You can give him some pointers in your spare time."

"Finally, let me remind you, the Inspector not only has to manage the internal affairs of the Constant Guard, but also has to deal with those old families in Silent Giant City from time to time. Those patriarchs are all shrewd people who have lived for countless Universal Epoch. When dealing with them, it is very important to know how to handle things properly. You should be aware of that."

"In addition, I left a batch of cultivation supplies in the warehouse; the list is in the crystal appendix. I don't need them now, so you can take them."

The message ends here.

Lin Yi removed the crystal from between his eyebrows and silently thanked him in his heart.

The inspector who had promoted him from Mist Sea City to his current position, even before setting off to venture deep into the Black Mist Sea, did not forget to instruct his successor to take care of him.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, Inspector Wen, I will take good care of myself."

As for the things Wen Xiao left behind, Lin Yi didn't plan to take them. After all, strictly speaking, these things weren't really left to him. Besides, he was already wealthy and didn't need to take them.

After reading the information left by Wen Xiao, Lin Yi did not rush to start cultivating.

He Yongzhen is coming to visit tomorrow, and he needs to sort out his relationship with the He Family and what attitude he should take towards the Ring Arena as the inspector.

The Ring Arena enjoys considerable renown within the Silent Cosmos Domain and even the entire Seventh Constant Domain.

The He Family has amassed enormous wealth and influence through this industry, but its shady nature has kept them in a delicate predicament.

Imperial law neither explicitly prohibits nor explicitly supports ring fighting.

The He Family was able to survive in this gray area because of their extremely strict self-discipline.

We never force any cultivator to go on stage. Every competition has a complete contract record. Any disputes will be proactively reported to the Constant Guard for record-keeping.

Lin Yi experienced this firsthand when he was competing in the ring.

Although the He Family has many rules, each one is written in the entry contract, with no hidden clauses.

Winning streak bonuses, appearance fees, and challenge rules are all open and transparent.

This is why he has a relatively good impression of the He Family.

As for the Huo Family...

After the Constant Guard assessment was completed that year, Huo Yi took the initiative to come to him and personally handed him the evidence of the branch's crimes.

This decisiveness is something not every family patriarch can achieve.

After all, no matter how remote a branch is, it still carries the name of the Huo Family. Handing over the evidence means publicly admitting that one's clansmen have committed a capital crime, which is a significant blow to the reputation of the He Family.

But that's exactly what Huo Yi did at the time, and Lin Yi approved of that sense of propriety.

If a branch commits a crime, the main family will sever ties; this is the rule that all major families should abide by.

If every company could do this, Constant Guard's workload could be reduced by nearly half.

With this in mind, Lin Yi made a plan.

He stood up and immediately used Soul Transmission to summon Xuanji over.

A moment later, Xuanji appeared. "Master."

"Xuanji, the heads of the He Family, the Huo Family, and other major families will be coming to pay their respects tomorrow. Please help me prepare for their reception. Also..."

Lin Yi paused, then asked, "How's Ellie doing?"

"Reporting to Master, the seclusion has begun."

Lin Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this.

He certainly knew what kind of personality Aurelia had.

That strong-willed nature never changes because of the strength or weakness of one's abilities.

"Alright." Lin Yi nodded. "Let her focus on her cultivation. Let me know if she needs anything."

"Yes," Xuanji replied.

The next day.

The main hall of the tower.

Located on the first floor of the tower, this main hall is the standard venue for the Constant Guard to receive visitors. The dome of the entire hall is made of a single piece of light gold crystal, and an eternal dark gold aura flows inside.

In the center of the main hall is a large round table made of black jade, surrounded by several chairs also carved from black jade.

Lin Yi sat upright at the head of the round table, while the seat opposite him remained empty.

Xuanji stood behind him, still wearing that light blue palace dress, holding a dark purple crystal plate with a pot of freshly brewed fine wine and two crystal cups on it.

A short while later, a very faint sound of footsteps came from outside the archway of the main hall.

Those were deliberately light footsteps.

Lin Yi raised his head.

A tall, slender figure slowly walked through the archway.

Na Pi wore an extremely elaborate dark blue brocade robe, with some very ancient patterns embroidered in silver thread on the surface, extending from the collar all the way to the hem.

His hair was neatly combed and tied back with a dark blue jade ring. He had a very short white beard on his chin, and his eyes were a very pale gray-blue. His facial features were clearly defined.

First Order of the Constant Source Realm.

Lin Yi confirmed it in his mind.

He Yongzhen's cultivation level was the same as his, both being at the First Order of the Constant Source Realm.

However, if it really came down to a fight, he could easily kill He Yongzhen in just a few moves.

He Yongzhen walked to the round table and bowed slightly. "He Yongzhen greets Inspector Lin Yi."

Although He Yongzhen was no match for him, Lin Yi didn't put on airs. He stood up to return the greeting and then gestured for him to sit down. "Clan Chief He, please have a seat."

He Yongzhen thanked him and sat down in the chair opposite Lin Yi.

Xuanji placed the two crystal cups in front of the two Pis respectively, and then took a step back.

Lin Yi picked up the crystal glass, not in a hurry to say anything, but simply took a small sip.

He Yongzhen also picked up his cup and took a sip, then put it down and took the lead in speaking.

"Inspector Lin Yi, congratulations on assuming the important post of the Buddha of Jizhou. I was unable to pay my respects immediately yesterday; I hope you will forgive my inconvenience."

Lin Yi placed the crystal cup back on the table and waved his hand gently. "Clan Chief He, there's no need for such formalities. I also fought in the Ring Arena back then. He Hongcan of the noble family followed the rules, and the winning streak bonus was paid in full. I've always remembered that."

He Yongzhen said, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes.

His biggest concern during this visit was the new inspector's attitude towards Huanhuan Jinggu Yong.

After all, the circular competition is essentially a gray industry. Although the He Family has always been strictly self-disciplined and never forced any cultivator to compete on stage, if the inspector is determined to investigate, he can always find an excuse.

But now, Lin Yi started his speech by mentioning his past experience competing against the He family in Jinggu Yong, and praised the He Family for following the rules. This attitude was clear enough.

"He Hongcan is indeed a remarkable talent." He Yongzhen continued, picking up where Lin Yi left off, his tone tinged with emotion. "He's been working at the Ring Sports Center for over a Universal Epoch now, always as a manager from the very beginning. The fact that the Ring Sports Center has remained so stable over the years is largely thanks to him."

He paused for a moment, then tentatively asked in a dismissive tone, "I wonder if the Inspector has any specific instructions regarding the Huanhuan Jinggu Yong industry?"

Lin Yi picked up the crystal glass, took another sip, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Clan Chief He, the Huanhuan Jing Gu Yong Neng has reached where you are today through your own abilities. You did very well when I was competing in the ring. I hope you will do the same in the future."

Upon hearing this, He Yongzhen's expression turned serious. He stood up from his chair and said solemnly, "Thank you for your admonition, Inspector. The He Family will keep it in mind."

Lin Yi nodded slightly, raised his hand and gestured for him to sit down.

"Chief He, there's no need to be so formal. I've already said that as long as the rules are followed, the Constant Guard will not interfere."

He Yongzhen sat back down in his chair, his expression noticeably more relaxed.

Lin Yi then casually asked, "Is He Hongcan still competing with Gu Yong?"

He Yongzhen smiled and said, "He's still here. I heard the other day that the Inspector General is coming back to take over, and he specifically asked me to inquire about it. He said that if the Inspector General has time, he would like to personally pay him his congratulations."

"Manager He is quite good." Lin Yi nodded. "I'll visit him when I have time."

This statement can be seen as a return favor for the 200,000 Eternal Cosmos Crystal that He Hongcan gave him back then.

Upon hearing this, He Yongzhen's smile deepened.

He knew that the true purpose of today's visit had been achieved.

This attitude was even better than the best outcome he had anticipated.

He Yongzhen rose again and bowed solemnly. "Then I will not disturb the Inspector any longer. If the Inspector needs anything in the future, please do not hesitate to ask."

Lin Yi stood up and nodded slightly in return.

"Clan Chief He, please take care."

He Yongzhen turned and walked towards the archway, his steps much lighter than when he came.

Lin Yi watched He Yongzhen's figure disappear outside the archway before sitting back down in his chair.

Not long after, Xuanji gave another report.

"Lord Pi, Lord Huo Yi requests Constant Lord."

Lin Yi nodded. "Please."

Before long, a burly figure appeared at the archway.

Huo Yi was wearing a dark purple formal robe today, with the Huo Family family crest embroidered in silver thread at the hem.

However, unlike the visit from the He Family, this time, Lin Yi stood up and took the initiative to greet Huo Yi as he stepped into the main hall.

This seemingly casual move actually has a profound and far-reaching implications.

According to custom, when an inspector receives a visitor, he only needs to sit in the main seat, but Lin Yi chose to stand up to greet him.

Huo Yi had clearly noticed this detail.

He paused slightly, then quickened his pace to Lin Yi and bowed.

"Huo Yi greets Inspector Lin Yi."

"Chief Huo, please have a seat."

Lin Yi led Huo Yi to sit down at the round table.

Back then, Huo Yi, as the Constant Lord, took the initiative to visit him, Constant Guard of the first level of the Eternal Source Realm, and even provided evidence.

Although he knew very well that most of it was done out of consideration for Wen Xiao, in the end, it undoubtedly saved him a lot of trouble.

That's why he took the initiative to greet me today.

At this moment, Xuanji had already changed the cups and poured the fine wine for the two of them again, then quietly retreated behind Lin Yi.

Lin Yi picked up the crystal glass, took a sip, and then slowly opened his mouth.

"Clan Chief Huo, in this attack on Mist Sea City, were any of the Huo Family's clan branches within the city affected?"

The moment the question was posed, Huo Yi's heart skipped a beat.

That's an extremely clever question.

Instead of asking "How is the Huo Family doing lately?", they directly asked whether the Huo Family's clan leaders in Mist Sea City had been harmed.

But Huo Yi was no ordinary person. He had lived through countless Universal Epoch and dealt with all sorts of extraordinary beings. He understood the full meaning behind Lin Yi's words almost instantly.

Lin Yi did not dwell on what happened back then.

Not only did they not refuse to let go, they even offered them a way out.

Huo Yi immediately went down the steps.

"Thank you for your concern, Inspector. Although the Huo Family family members in Mist Sea City were frightened during the attack, fortunately, the Inspector returned in time, and the city's protective formation remained intact, so none of them suffered any substantial harm. Huo Yi hereby thanks the Inspector on their behalf for your life-saving grace."

Lin Yi nodded slightly upon hearing this, placed the crystal cup back on the table, and then said in a casual tone, "Speaking of which, the Huo Family was more decisive than many families I've met in handling the Mist Sea City branch. When the branch made a mistake, the main family not only didn't cover it up, but also proactively handed over the evidence to me and cooperated with the investigation."

"This person's approach to handling the situation is a model for all families."

Upon hearing the word "role model," Huo Yi felt a weight lifted from his heart.

What he feared most was that Lin Yi was not entirely satisfied with what happened back then, believing that the Huo Family's main branch had instigated it, but had temporarily tolerated it due to his status and strength. Now that he had enough status and strength, he would come looking for trouble with the Huo Family again.

He had rehearsed all possible scenarios repeatedly before he came.

Lin Yi would respond coldly, use indirect approaches, and subtly probe the Huo Family during conversations.

He had prepared contingency plans for all possibilities, and had corresponding explanations for each situation.

But he never expected Lin Yi to praise the Huo Family as a "role model".

While Huo Yi was still in a daze, Lin Yi started speaking again.

"By the way, Chief Huo, I've heard that quite a few members of the Huo Family are serving in the Imperial Army?"

Huo Yi immediately composed himself and replied with a smile, "That's true. The Huo Family will select elite soldiers to be sent to the Imperial Army for training."

Currently, there are approximately one thousand soldiers still in service.

Lin Yi nodded. "Very good."

Then, he picked up the crystal glass and tilted it slightly towards Huo Yi, "From now on, just follow the rules."

The inference from this statement is crystal clear; it's not specifically directed at the Huo Family.

Huo Yi stood up, smiling, and said, "Understood, thank you, Inspector."

Lin Yi got up and escorted Huo Yi to the archway, watching his figure disappear at the end of the corridor before turning back to sit down at the round table.

Xuanji stepped forward and filled his crystal cup, saying softly, "Master Pi, Chief Huo's steps were faster when he left than when he came."

Lin Yi picked up his glass, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"Just put his mind at ease. The fact that the Huo Family willingly handed over the evidence back then is already quite remarkable in this desolate world. Besides, Inspector Wen Xiao mentioned back then that although Huo Yi is shrewd, he never crosses the line. For a family like this, you should give them the face they deserve, but you can't let any of the lines slip by."

Xuanji nodded slightly, silently noting Lin Yi's words.

In the following Epoch, the patriarchs of the various families in the Silent Left Giant City visited one after another, as if by prior arrangement.

The head of the Wen Family was the first to arrive.

Wen Xu stood beside the clan leader. When they met, he winked at Lin Yi, but after being glared at by the clan leader, he immediately composed himself and became as upright as if he had been transformed.

Lin Yi wanted to laugh, but held back because of Yonghe.

After some time, after seeing off a visitor from the Constant Source Realm, Xuanji handed Lin Yi a list of upcoming guests.

Lin Yi glanced at it briefly.

Apart from the Constant Lord, who was sent on a mission by the Dao Origin Hall according to regulations, almost every family in Jizhou that could be named had sent someone.

Nothing was missed.

Of course, no family would dare not come.

After handling the initial matters for one person, Lin Yi planned to begin in-depth cultivation.

Ultimately, strength is the only true measure of success.

"For the next period of time, if anyone visits, just say that I have gone into seclusion."

"Yes," Xuanji replied.

Afterwards, Lin Yi thought for a moment, then focused his mind on his inner Divine Kingdom, and took out fifty Origin Constant Crystal from his inventory.

He picked up one of the Origin Constant Crystal, probed its core with his Soul Power, and guided its primal essence into the Purple Mist Space.

In the very center of the Purple Mist Space, countless deep purple threads converged from all directions, intertwining and entwining with each other.

Soon, a new, thumb-sized, dark purple dodecahedral crystal condensed and took shape.

Then came the second one.

The third one.

The tenth one.

After consuming all fifty Origin Constant Crystal, plus the one he attempted to condense after the Constant Source Celebration, his current total reserve of Purple Mist Crystal is fifty-one.

It can support continuous cultivation for 5.1 million Epoch.

Of course, he couldn't burn all the crystals at once.

Although the duties of the inspector are not usually heavy, there are always occasions that require his personal attention.

In addition, the Dao Origin Hall might send urgent missions at any time, which would inevitably disrupt his cultivation rhythm.

Most importantly, he didn't know that the Dao Origin Hall's urgent mission would delay his productivity. To be on the safe side, he first stored an extra person's Purple Mist Crystal in the Purple Mist Space so that he could use them whenever he needed to burn them.

The reason he didn't convert everything into Purple Mist Crystal was mainly because he was afraid of encountering too intense a battle. If the Origin Law True Body were injured, he would still have to spend Origin Constant Crystal to recover quickly.

Therefore, a compromise of fifty coins was chosen.

After doing all this, Lin Yi wasted no time.

He closed his eyes and sank his mind into the depths of his Soul Origin.

The spiritual energy is ignited.

That familiar, bone-deep sense of clarity once again confirmed his suspicion that Bao was a monster.

Lin Yi focused all his attention on the Origin Law Mark in the center of the Source Sea Giant's chest, and began to sense the rhythm of the Chaos Origin Law.

The entire training room was completely silent.

Only the inscription patterns on the four walls slowly flowed, each flow creating a tiny ripple of chaotic energy.

After the ripples detached from the wall, they converged towards the center of the stone platform, eventually forming a faint golden halo around him.

Time slips away silently.

Approximately eight thousand Epoch later.

On this day, Lin Yi felt a very subtle tremor coming from the Constant Guard insignia on his chest.

He slowly opened his eyes, withdrawing his mind from the Origin Law senses.

This is a routine report from Saen.

A family feud broke out in the Eternal Source Realm the Silent Universe, resulting in injuries and deaths. Both sides accused the other of striking first.

This matter didn't originally require Lin Yi's personal involvement, but since one of the families involved had a Constant Source Realm, even though the expert didn't directly intervene, Saen felt it was still necessary to report it to avoid any misunderstandings later.

Lin Yi read the report from beginning to end, and then gave his reply in the comments, "Proceed according to the rules. If Constant Source Realm intervenes, notify me."

After dealing with this matter, he closed his eyes again and continued his cultivation.

Approximately 60,000 Epoch later...

Levo sent a message.

It's not a dispute, it's an invitation.

The auction held once every ten million Epoch in the Silent Giant City is about to open. As is customary, the Inspector is required to attend on behalf of the Constant Guard and deliver a routine congratulatory speech.

Lin Yi glanced at the schedule and replied, "Understood."

On the day of the auction, he appeared on the main stage of the auction hall on time, smiled and recited a standard but completely uninspired Mai Yongbai, then politely stepped down amidst applause.

On the way back, Levo couldn't help but say, "Da Pi, Chou's blessing seems even shorter than Lord Wen Xiao Xiao's."

Lin Yi replied without changing his expression, "How long was Wen Xiao Xiaodapi's congratulatory speech?"

"About twice as much as you."

"Next time I'll try to shorten it by one inch."

Levo couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although the occasional social engagements interrupted his training, there was always someone in this position who couldn't avoid the constant stream of people joining him.

Lin Yi didn't find it annoying.

He simply doesn't like wasting time on these personnel matters.

Therefore, he always made public appearances in a formal, business-like manner, and then immediately returned to continue his seclusion.

Sainrevo gradually figured out the temperament of the new inspector.

Handle everything yourself without disturbing him.

Whenever he was involved, things were always kept simple and brief.

The various visiting cards sent by those families were all turned away by Saen at the tower gate.

Only matters that the person truly cannot handle will be presented to him, and even in such cases, the replies are extremely concise.

Time progressed steadily amidst the occasional official duties of cultivation.

Two hundred and thirty thousand Epoch have passed in the blink of an eye.

Lin Yi sat cross-legged in the center of the stone platform, his body surrounded by a faint golden aura that expanded and contracted.

He slowly opened his eyes and silently sensed the changes in his Soul Origin.

After this period of continuous immersion, my spiritual understanding has improved slightly compared to when I first began my seclusion.

The Origin Law sense of rhythm also progressed steadily in this process.

From the initial 1.15%, it has now reached 3.82%.

This is very fast.

Lin Yi silently calculated in his mind that, on the one hand, since he had just entered the Constant Source Realm, the speed curve of his Origin Law had not yet really picked up. It was similar to climbing up a relatively gentle mountain foot, which was naturally much faster than climbing up to the mountainside and then going up.

On the other hand, under the continuous immersion of the Purple Mist Crystal, Lan Jin's soul essence rose a little further. With this double effect, Lan Jin's speed was even faster than he had initially expected.

He took a deep breath and closed his eyes again.

The spirit of Lingya reignited.

Another 40,000 Epoch have passed.

On this day, an unusual fluctuation suddenly emanated from the depths of the Divine Kingdom within his body.

The fluctuations were not intense, but they carried a very special rhythm, like the gentle ringing of some ancient bell, low and lingering, rippling outwards in circles.

Lin Yi suddenly opened his eyes.

He immediately focused his mind on his inner Divine Kingdom and quickly found the source of the fluctuations.

It was the Dao Origin Hall communication emblem that Han Yu Dao Lord personally handed to him at the end of the Constant Source Celebration.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.

Nearly 300,000 Epoch have passed, and an urgent mission has finally arrived.
