Meanwhile.

Inside the palace of the Dimensional Space.

Ye Junlin looked at the mountain-like pile of resources in the hall, his eyes cold.

These were all things looted from the Ye Clan—the foundation their family had accumulated over generations. Now, they could be used to strengthen Eternal Night Heaven.

"System, convert all these Spirit Stones, pills, and Cultivation Manuals from the Ye Clan into Energy Points."

As soon as Ye Junlin finished speaking, the system's icy prompt sounded in his mind.

[Various resources detected, including Low-grade Spirit Stones, Profound-tier cultivation techniques, healing pills, and more. Bundled conversion will yield 10,000 Energy Points. Confirm conversion?]

"Confirm."

At Ye Junlin's command, the resources in the hall instantly transformed into streams of Flowing Light and all flew into the system panel.

At the same time, the Energy Points began to soar.

Ye Junlin looked at the number on the panel and nodded in satisfaction.

Twelve thousand Energy Points were enough for him to make some serious moves.

"System, give me twenty Bronze Draws."

[Each Bronze Draw consumes 500 Energy Points. Twenty draws will consume 10,000 points. Confirm?]

"Confirm."

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Supreme Mask x1!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card x1!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Eternal Night Heaven Exclusive Token x50!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card x1!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Storage Ring x10!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Bronze Summoning Card x1!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Blood Slaughter Art x1!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained Breaking Mirror Pill x10!]

[The remaining draw rewards consist of Low-grade Spirit Stones and several poisoned daggers. They have been automatically stored in the system warehouse.]

After the string of prompts ended, several items appeared out of thin air before Ye Junlin.

He reached out, took them all into his hands, and examined them carefully one by one.

Supreme Mask: Entirely black, of unknown material, and engraved with intricate patterns. Once worn, it could conceal one's Aura and alter one's appearance. Even Strong Ones four realms above the wearer could not discern its true nature. It was the perfect choice for traveling the martial world.

Eternal Night Heaven Exclusive Token: Fifty in total. Each token bore the character "Night" and was incomparably sturdy. It contained a communication array that allowed real-time communication between Eternal Night Heaven members within five thousand li.

Storage Ring: Ten in total. Each contained a thousand cubic meters of space, enough to hold massive quantities of supplies. After acknowledging an owner, it could be bound with a drop of blood and was not easily lost.

Blood Slaughter Art: Those who cultivated it could grow through killing intent and Fresh Blood. The stronger the Masters they killed, the faster their cultivation progressed. It would also gradually make them loyal to the host. Should they betray him, they would suffer a backlash from the art and die.

Breaking Mirror Pill (Grandmaster-grade): After taking it, a peak Grandmaster could break through into the Grandmaster Realm without any side effects. If consumed by a Grandmaster, it could raise them by one minor realm.

"Haha, with the Blood Slaughter Art and Breaking Mirror Pills given by the system, establishing the Misty Rain Tower will be much easier."

"I can use the Breaking Mirror Pills to win over Grandmaster experts, then have them cultivate the Blood Slaughter Art. That way, I won't have to worry about their betrayal."

Ye Junlin happily thought that the system truly understood him, then temporarily stored everything in the system space.

There were also three Bronze Summoning Cards, glowing faintly and filling Ye Junlin's eyes with anticipation.

"System, use the three Bronze Summoning Cards!"

[Three Bronze Summoning Cards consumed. Beginning the summoning of Strong Ones from the Myriad Worlds...]

As the system prompt fell silent, Three figures appeared out of thin air within the palace.

The man at the front was broad and powerfully built, with a resolute face. He wore a rough cloth outfit, a Longsword hanging at his waist. His gaze was sharp as a blade, carrying an Aura of fearless defiance toward death.

The man on the left was of average build and ordinary appearance, looking like a common citizen. Yet he held a dagger in his hand, its Cold Light flickering with a deadly Aura.

The man on the right wore ragged clothes and had disheveled hair. He carried an Aura of age and hardship, but his eyes were incomparably resolute. In his hand was a rusted iron sword, emanating an unyielding will.

1. [Name]: Nie Zheng

[Cultivation]: Late-stage Void Glimpse Realm

[Cultivation Art]: Immortal Tier Iron Blood Assassination Art—nurtures killing through killing. Every strike is ruthless. When the art circulates, a layer of iron-blood fiendish Aura surrounds the body, weakening the enemy's will.

[Martial Skill]: White Rainbow Piercing Sun Sword—a thrust like a White Rainbow Piercing Sun, swift as lightning and unstoppable as bamboo splitting. It targets the enemy's weak points; below the Void Glimpse Realm, none can withstand it.

[Origin]: A top assassin of the Warring States era. To repay Yan Zhongzi for recognizing his worth, he charged alone into the residence of Xia Lei, the Prime Minister of Han, sword in hand. After killing dozens and successfully assassinating Xia Lei, he disfigured himself, gouged out his eyes, and cut open his stomach to avoid implicating his family. His loyalty and righteousness were unmatched.

[Loyalty]: 100% (System-bound, will never betray)

2. [Name]: Zhuan Zhu

[Cultivation]: Mid-stage Void Glimpse Realm

[Cultivation Art]: Immortal Tier Fish Intestine Assassination Technique—hides within the invisible and conceals sharpness beneath clumsiness. Skilled at disguising himself and blending into the surroundings, he delivers a fatal blow when the enemy is at their most relaxed.

[Martial Skill]: Fish Intestine Sword Skill—performed with a short dagger, its moves are tricky and vicious. Combined with the Fish Intestine Assassination Technique, it can take an enemy general's head amid an army of ten thousand. This was the very skill he used to hide a dagger inside a fish's belly and successfully assassinate King Liao of Wu.
