Did he not even understand "when in Rome"?

In the void.

The azure-colored Great Clarity Treasure Ship sped past, heading rapidly towards the location of the Eternal Night Continent.

Now.

Quiet Room on the Treasure Ship.

Ye Li sat cross-legged, his blood energy surging around him, without any Dao injuries, making him look absolutely perfect.

The Golden Soul within the Spiritual Platform faintly glowed.

Once the Immortal Essence is restored, the Divine Soul and physical body will be fully restored to their peak.

He raised his palm and slowly turned the scroll hanging in front of him to a new page.

[My Dao Scripture My Book]!

The five pages of the scroll were unfolded one by one, each carrying a different atmosphere.

As Ye Li's thoughts stirred slightly...

His current state is fully etched onto one of those pages.

This is reserved for restoring its original state.

As for the remaining pages, in addition to the previous records, there were also True Lord -level backup plans that he had specially prepared.

"..."

Ye Li carefully checked the scroll to make sure nothing was missing before putting it away.

As the saying goes, "Despise the enemy strategically, but take the enemy seriously tactically."

It is highly likely that True Lord is in charge of the Longwind Divine Dynasty.

This was something none of the Dao Lineage he had previously destroyed had, and even the closest Yin-Yang Sect True Lord would not return for some time.

The fact that several Demon Lords from the Vast Wild Continent did not appear previously does not mean they will do so this time.

If things really come to a head...

He's ready to reveal all his cards at once!

A moment later.

Ye Li pushed open the door and walked along the corridor to the deck.

On this trip to the Eternal Night Continent, he only brought Pei You'an and a dozen or so Manager of the Alliance Association.

I saw him come out.

A capable-looking woman dressed in Sea of Clouds Green Robe immediately stepped forward, cupped her hands, and said:

"Palace Heir."

"The next stop is the Longwind Divine Dynasty's border crossing. Entry documents are ready, and the arrangements for welcoming them have been communicated."

"There are a few things I hope you will keep in mind, Your Palace Heir."

She was beautiful, and her name was Shen Lingyi.

He had served as Alliance Association to the Longwind Divine Dynasty on behalf of the Tongmenghui several times in previous years and was quite familiar with the situation there.

Ye Li nodded slightly, signaling her to continue.

After carefully considering her words, Shen Lingyi said seriously:

"Since the founding of the Longwind Divine Dynasty, its foundation has been far deeper than it appears on the surface. To this day, the alliance has not been able to confirm how many True Lords remain here."

"Therefore, if a conflict arises with them this time, please put your own safety first, Palace Heir."

"Your safety is related to far more than just the Supreme Clarity Palace."

"As for other matters, we will follow orders and will never act on our own."

Ye Li listened patiently and casually replied:

"Knew."

He hadn't originally planned to bring so many people.

However, the scope of [Soul Control] within the True Source World is ultimately limited.

If a conflict really occurs, we can't just resolve the issue ourselves and then stay put, waiting for the Alliance Association to send people from across the continent to clean up the mess.

Bring some trustworthy Manager in charge; it will make subsequent arrangements easier.

While the two were talking...

A majestic fortress gradually came into view ahead of the Treasure Ship.

The city wall, over a thousand feet high, stretches across two mountain ranges, with a faint glow flickering on the ridge, encompassing several nearby roads.

The boats and ships came and went one by one to be inspected.

Several armored cultivators stood before the pass, followed by a constant patrol of warrior cultivators.

Wait until you see the Law Seal on the Great Clarity Treasure Ship.

The leader's expression shifted slightly. He personally stepped forward, took the document, carefully examined it, and then immediately waved for them to pass.

"Supreme Clarity Palace Son, please!"

The array of lights above the fortress suddenly split apart.

The Treasure Ship did not stop and sailed straight into the Longwind Divine Dynasty territory.

The scenery Ye Li saw along the way gradually became different from that of the Cold Sea Continent.

One after another, fiefdoms of various lords appeared below.

Outside the Mountain Gate, a large area of city and spirit fields belong to the same prefecture. Although the banners of the marquis's mansions hanging on the city walls are different, they all bear the imperial banner of the Longwind Divine Dynasty.

Treasure Ships bearing the inscription "[Patrolling the Heavens]" frequently passed overhead.

The warriors on the boat, clad in armor and wielding spears, quickly made way for the Supreme Clarity Palace once they recognized its insignia.

Further away.

Wide roads traverse mountains and rivers, with nodes along the way connecting thousands of massive cities.

Large ships laden with Spirit Materials converged from all over the world, sailing continuously towards the central Capital City.

"Those are all tributes sent to the Capital City from various prefectures."

Shen Lingyi approached Ye Li and solemnly introduced him:

"As far as we know, the Longwind Divine Dynasty alone has more than twenty publicly known Fortune-Mastery True Cultivator."

"The border troops, the prefectural governments, the inner court... and the various branches of the royal family, each have their own True Person in charge."

"If any one of them were to establish their own Mountain Gate elsewhere, they would be capable of supporting a Top-Tier Dao Lineage."

"..."

Pei You'an stood to the side, her mood growing increasingly somber as she listened.

There are already more than twenty True Person among those who are publicly known!

The place I wanted to rescue Qin Baiyi from turned out to be such a dangerous den!

Ye Li, however, felt lighthearted upon hearing this.

His gaze swept over a distant sky patrol ship.

There is the aura of a True Person inside.

The other party also noticed him, but showed no intention of coming over to meet him. They simply paused briefly before continuing their patrol along the same route.

'She has a strong sense of pride...'

Ye Li withdrew his gaze, lost in thought.

With his current influence, if he were to travel between the Cold Sea and Azure Luo continents, any True Person he had ever met would come to greet him.

The fact that the Longwind Divine Dynasty royal family dared to use Qin Baiyi to invite him over shows that they are indeed very confident in their own abilities.

I hope that once we actually meet, I can give myself a more confident answer.

After a long journey.

The Capital City of the Longwind Divine Dynasty finally came into view.

The Treasure Ship has not yet approached.

The endless stream of boats coming and going outside the city came into view.

High Platforms lined up along the city walls, specifically for visiting monks to dock.

The outer city stretches as far as the eye can see.

Wide streets stretched in different directions, and palaces extended for thousands of miles in the depths. Layers of arrayed lights converged in the sky, making it difficult even for True Person's Divine Consciousness to penetrate.

Shen Lingyi had already submitted the documents.

Before long, a group of officials arrived by boat.

The leading man in the crimson robe had a thin face. After boarding the deck, he first bowed to Ye Li in greeting.

"Shao Chengyuan, the Longwind Capital Reception Envoy."

"I have been ordered to come and greet Palace Heir Ye."

His manners were impeccable; after exchanging greetings with Pei You'an and the others, he smiled and said:

"The Palace Heir's residence has been prepared, a private courtyard, and the meditation Quiet Room and residences for all fellow practitioners have also been arranged."

"Since you have come from afar, please take a rest first."

"If there is any need at any time, just send someone to inform me."

Ye Li nodded slightly, then asked directly:

Where is my friend, Qin Baiyi, now?

Shao Chengyuan for a moment, then replied with a smile:

"Miss Qin is now living in the residence of the Third Princess."

"However, the Qin family's affairs are handled personally by the royal family, and ordinary government offices do not have the authority to release them."

Pei You'an immediately took out the redemption document and stepped forward, saying in a deep voice:

"But she had already completed the formalities, and your Law Seal is on it!"

Shao Chengyuan took it and glanced at it, looking somewhat troubled.

"There's nothing wrong with this approval document, but since there are new assignments coming up, I no longer have the authority to process it as before."

"If you two wish to inquire, you must first write to the Imperial Family, and then I will relay the message..."

Pei You'an wanted to say something more.

Ye Li had already reached out and retrieved the approval document, saying softly:

"Then Trouble you to take me there."

Shao Chengyuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He thought to himself, "How could this person act like this? I just said that we can only communicate by letter. As Supreme Clarity Palace Son, doesn't he even understand the principle of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'?!"

But then he thought of the orders he had received, and the other party's resounding reputation.

He could only grit his teeth and bow, saying:

"This humble official does not have the authority to bring anyone into the palace; at most, I can only ask someone to inquire on your behalf."

"That's fine too."

Seeing the young man nod in agreement.

Just as Shao Chengyuan was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard the young man continue:

"I must see Qin Baiyi by tonight at the latest."

"Take these words with you exactly as they are. If you fail to meet the person, you will bear the consequences."

"..."

Shao Chengyuan's smile froze slightly.

He looked at Ye Li, but the other party showed no intention of explaining, simply waiting calmly for a response.

A moment later.

The Reception Envoy finally bowed, inwardly admiring the courage of this Supreme Clarity Palace Son, and forced a smile:

"Well... I'll go and ask for instructions right away."

"Please wait for Palace Heir inside the city, Your Highness."
