Eastern Guard Establishes Foundation, New Pavilions Added

Ye Junlin hadn't expected that this Platinum Summoning Card could summon a being of such caliber.

With Donghuang Taiyi, a late-stage Land Immortal, stationed here, Eternal Night Heaven finally had the confidence to establish itself.

"Your subordinate, Donghuang Taiyi, greets the Lord."

Donghuang Taiyi bowed slightly, his voice echoing strangely from behind his mask, respectful yet undeniably majestic.

Ye Junlin suppressed the shock in his heart and quickly said:

"Lord Donghuang, there's no need for such formalities. With your assistance, Eternal Night Heaven is like a tiger with wings!"

Ye Junlin looked at Donghuang Taiyi, who was bowing, a sharp glint in his eyes. He spoke in a deep voice, "Lord Donghuang, from this day forward, you shall be one of the Five Guards of my Eternal Night Heaven, with the title 'Eastern Guard'."

Donghuang Taiyi nodded in agreement. "Your subordinate obeys."

Ye Junlin continued, "Currently, the laws of heaven and earth have not fully recovered, and Spiritual Energy has not yet reached its peak."

"With your late-stage Land Immortal cultivation, acting rashly could easily provoke a backlash from heaven and earth."

"For now, remain in the Eternal Night Space to cultivate in seclusion. You will be Eternal Night Heaven's trump card, and should not reveal yourself unless absolutely necessary."

He knew very well that the power of the Land Immortal realm was too terrifying, and the current Eastern Region could not bear it.

Acting rashly would not only expose his strength but also attract unnecessary trouble.

"Your subordinate understands." Donghuang Taiyi's tone was calm, as if he was accustomed to lying in wait.

Yuan Tiangang, standing nearby, had held his breath since Donghuang Taiyi appeared.

Initially, he had only sensed that the other party's aura was unfathomable, far surpassing his own late-stage Heavenly Human Realm.

When Ye Junlin clarified his cultivation level, Yuan Tiangang's heart trembled violently—Land Immortal Realm!

That was the realm he had pursued his entire life!

He gazed at the Yin and Yang energies swirling around Donghuang Taiyi, feeling the pressure that seemed capable of stabilizing the universe and reversing Yin and Yang.

His heart was filled with infinite longing for a higher realm, and a trace of indescribable reverence.

As a fellow top-tier expert, he could better appreciate the terror behind such power.

Ye Junlin saw the look on Yuan Tiangang's face but did not comment. He simply said, "Gangzi, use the communication token to notify all core personnel to return to the Eternal Night Space immediately. I have important matters to discuss."

"Yes." Yuan Tiangang quickly responded, condensing Spiritual Energy at his fingertips and activating the communication token at his waist.

In less than half an hour, Jing Ke, Nie Zheng, and the other Eight Guards, as well as Di Yun and Linghu Chong, the two Seven Stars, returned to the Eternal Night Space through spatial portals.

As soon as they appeared and finished paying their respects to Ye Junlin, they sensed a strange yet terrifying aura in the hall, and their expressions immediately turned vigilant.

When they saw the figure in the black robe and mask, even a peak Void Glimpse assassin like Jing Ke couldn't help but his pupils contracted—

This person's aura sent a chill down to their very core, as if they were facing an unfathomable abyss.

Seeing this, Ye Junlin announced loudly, "Everyone, I'd like to introduce a new companion."

He pointed at Donghuang Taiyi, "This is Donghuang Taiyi, who will henceforth be the Eastern Guard, one of the Five Guards of my Eternal Night Heaven. His cultivation... is late-stage Land Immortal."

"Hiss—"

Inhales of cold air could be heard one after another.

Late-stage Land Immortal!

This realm was practically legendary to them!

Jing Ke, Di Yun, and the others exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Your subordinates greet Lord Donghuang!"

After reacting, everyone quickly bowed, their voices filled with genuine reverence.

Even Yuan Tiangang, a strong cultivator in the late-stage Heavenly Human Realm, bowed respectfully.

Donghuang Taiyi nodded in acknowledgment, his voice coming through the mask, "No need for excessive politeness."

After allowing everyone to calm down, Ye Junlin commanded the system in his mind:

"System! Integrate the core building complex into the Eternal Night Space."

[Ding! Integrating into Eternal Night Space...]

Instantly, a slight tremor came from the depths of the Eternal Night Space. Everyone felt the ground beneath their feet shake slightly, followed by a surge of spatial power spreading out.

The originally empty eastern area flashed with light, earth and stone churned, and magnificent pavilions of various styles rose from the ground, arranged in an orderly fashion to form a complete building complex.

Each pavilion had a plaque hanging in front of it, with ancient and powerful calligraphy, emitting faint fluctuations of Spiritual Energy:

Lord Pavilion, Two Gods Pavilion, Three Emperors Pavilion, Western Venerables Pavilion, Five Guards Pavilion, Six Ultimates Pavilion, Seven Stars Pavilion, Eight Guards Pavilion.

Ye Junlin led everyone as they moved their gazes, seeing the Lord Pavilion located at the very center of the building complex. It stood nine stories high, with glazed tiles for roofing and golden dragons coiled around the pillars, exuding the most magnificent aura.

The Two Gods Pavilion, Three Emperors Pavilion, Western Venerables Pavilion, and Five Guards Pavilion were adjacent to the Lord Pavilion, their styles ancient and mysterious.

The Five Guards Pavilion subtly resonated with Donghuang Taiyi's aura.

Within the Six Ultimates Pavilion, one particular structure featured an observatory and a divination array disk, clearly tailor-made for Yuan Tiangang.

Seven Stars Pavilion: The environment was serene and elegant, conducive to comprehending realms.

Outside the Eight Guards Pavilion stood an array of sabers, spears, swords, and halberds, radiating a formidable killing intent, making it an excellent place for honing combat techniques.

"These eight pavilions will be our residences and training grounds in the Eternal Night Space from now on."

Ye Junlin pointed to the building complex and said slowly, "The Lord Pavilion will be my residence. As for the other pavilions, you shall reside according to your respective positions."

"As for the other unoccupied pavilions, they will be for correspondingly powerful individuals who join us in the future."
