Qing Chen slowly tucked the Recording Stone into his sleeve, already having a plan in mind.
With the Council of Elders' decree behind him, he would have greater room to maneuver.
Since he had already requested the Council of Elders' decree, he could go all out as long as he did not implicate any more islands.
The conflict between these two islands would not become a problem for him.
Instead, it might become an opportunity for him to further strengthen both his power and his influence.
What a timely death for that Foundation Establishment High Person! What a splendid fight between these two great islands!
Only three or four years remained until the once-every-thirty-years weakening of the storm restriction.
Qing Chen had a feeling that Immortal-Severing Island would surely see winds rise and clouds surge this time.
This might be a tremendous opportunity that came only once in several centuries.
Naturally, he did not want to miss it, so he needed strength all the more.
And when it came to increasing his strength, the most important things for him were the Brahma Demon-Refining Art and the White Bone Demon Mara Banner.
Brahma Demon-Refining Art: required refining blood energy at the same level as the art, using the Brahma Aperture Blood-Refining Secret Technique to cultivate rapidly.
White Bone Demon Mara Banner: refined large quantities of living creatures' flesh and blood to produce blood energy matching the demonic banner's current grade.
After a brief moment of thought, Qing Chen instructed Gao Yuliang and Deng Ziyue:
"Martial Nephew Gao, take my island lord's Command Token to Mysterious Mountain Island and meet Yue Xipo, the Head of the Yue Household.
"Set out a little later. When you reach the Yue Household, say you have come to discuss the campaign against Mysterious Constancy Island.
