After confirming that there were no other valuable items in the Muchun Hall, Ye Li extracted a portion of the spiritual essence of the [Life-Sustaining Azure Tree] and stored it in his Seal of Judgment.
This gleaming seal certainly couldn't be limited to just gathering people for private meetings.
Although Ye Li won't need this life-restoring power, he might use it somewhere in the future, so he might as well consider it as adding to his encyclopedia.
At the strong invitation of the Qingyi Bureau of Hanhai Province, Ye Li temporarily stayed at the bureau.
He only had two days left, and he couldn't be bothered to go back again.
Of course, it's impossible to be idle.
He declined the banquet invitation from the Bureau of the Qingyi Bureau and instead immersed himself in the confidential archives there, carefully perusing them.
Due to the limited number of files.
That same day, he used the [Seal of Judgment] to find Yang Qingshan, expressing his desire to access the documents within the General Administration.
After sending the relevant information to Ye Li, Yang Qingshan also expressed his concern and advised Ye Li to be as careful as possible during his trip.
The relationship between the Federation and Huaxia is not too strained, but it is certainly not harmonious either.
Being cautious in everything you do will never lead you astray.
Ye Li simply waved his hand in response, and then disappeared from the Divine Consciousness space.
"..."
Yang Qingshan was speechless and choked with emotion.
He stared at the spot where the boy had disappeared, tapping his fingers lightly on the table, still feeling a little uncertain.
He worried that Ye Li was unaware of his own importance and thus underestimated the hostility of the other nations.
But this [Secret Realm of Kings] is related to the other party's future master realm... so there's no choice but to go.
"... It's difficult..."
Within his Divine Consciousness space, Yang Qingshan sighed softly, his brows furrowed.
He has already given another spot in the Secret Realm to a veteran Martial Infant Realm within the bureau.
The opponent is skilled in Sword Nurturing Technique, and has been nurturing his Sword Qi for thirty years, yet it has not been unsheathed.
I think I can protect the boy in this fight.
Hanhai Province, Confidential Archives.
The first light of dawn was faint, and the morning mist was thick.
"Call--"
Ye Li let out a silent sigh, sat down on the wooden chair, and pinched the bridge of his nose.
The Three Mountains and Six Sects have a long history, and the amount of related information is staggering.
Fortunately, after two days of investigation, he finally selected two suitable targets from the files of the [Six Factions]—
Heavenly Sun Sect, Linglong Holy Land.
Ye Li targeted them because both of them had serious crimes recorded in the Qingyi Bureau's archives that were enough to wipe out their sects.
These are indeed two very bold Mountain Gate.
As for why the Qingyi Bureau has kept them until now...
The reason is very simple--
Within the Heavenly Sun Sect, there are three Martial Infant Realm Old Ancestor, plus ten mid-level Divine Mansion Realm experts.
The Linglong Holy Land is even more frightening.
Five powerful Martial Infant Realm guarded the Mountain Gate, along with more than ten martial artists at the Divine Mansion Realm...
Ye Li couldn't help but sigh.
Even if we integrate the Qingyi Bureau from several provinces within a single continent.
Winning over either of them would be quite difficult.
Even myself.
Before receiving nourishment from the Muchun Hall, seeing two Mountain Gate with such a configuration, they were bound to demonstrate their terrifying evacuation speed.
But it doesn't matter.
The situation is different now.
"We'll settle scores with them as soon as we get back..." Ye Li immediately finalized the plan.
He put away the vast amount of data projected before him, put away his Seal of Judgment, and turned to leave the confidential archives.
Today is the day we head to the Federal Nation.
This is my first time going abroad in this life or the last, and I'm actually quite looking forward to it.
Inside the courtyard outside the archives room.
As soon as Ye Li stepped out, he saw a person sitting on the stone pier in front of him.
His hair and beard were slightly white, but his face was not very old; on the contrary, he looked somewhat young. He had a sword hanging at his waist and exuded a powerful aura.
Hearing the door open, he looked over sharply.
After seeing Ye Li's face clearly, the man's eyes flickered slightly.
As a candidate Arbiter for the Qingyi Bureau.
Li Cangjian had heard of this new Arbiter and knew of his astonishing feat of reaching the Peak Divine Mansion Realm at such a young age.
Even so.
As Martial Infant Realm martial artist who had worked in the Qingyi Bureau for over a hundred years, he still harbored resentment towards the young man being promoted to Arbiter at such a young age.
In Li Cangjian's view
In any case, we should wait until Ye Li has truly matured before discussing the appointment of the Arbiter.
He understands the principle of handling special cases specially.
Given the boy's terrifying talent, it is indeed appropriate to make an exception for him.
But there's nothing I can do; if I feel uncomfortable, I just feel uncomfortable.
Seeing Ye Li approaching.
Li Cangjian suppressed his emotions.
He stood up and gave a slight bow. "General Ye."
As his companions on this mission, and with the other being his superior, he wouldn't show any dissatisfaction at this moment.
"No need for such formalities."
Ye Li stopped in front of him and asked calmly, "Are you one of our companions this time?"
He was not surprised that his companion was a young man with a sword.
It is not uncommon for martial artists at the Martial Infant Realm to easily maintain their youthful appearance before their Blood Vitality declines.
Just like that Old Ancestor of the Muchun Hall, whose hair and beard were all white, if you go back fifty years, he would most likely have been a handsome and robust middle-aged man.
"That's right, my name is Li Cangjian."
Li Cangjian straightened his back, staring at the small mark on the other person's waist, his expression somewhat complicated.
The Seal of Judgment.
That was something he had longed for, something he had strived for for over a hundred years but still hadn't obtained.
Having said that, he took a deep breath, his previous complex emotions vanishing, and said with renewed spirit:
"General Ye, I've heard you've been staying in the archives for the past two days, so you must not know much about this [Secret Realm of Kings]."
"It will be about half an hour before the private jet arrives. How about I explain things to you?"
As he spoke, Li Cangjian's expression was serious, and a hint of determination lingered in his eyes.
Yang Qingshan's decision to have him accompany the new Arbiter to the Federation likely involved some consideration of escorting him.
Although he felt it was too early for Ye Li to take over as the Arbiter, he also acknowledged the boy's miraculous speed of advancement.
As for whether Ye Li is worthy of this Arbiter's Cloak...
Li Cangjian felt there was plenty of time ahead and he could observe the situation gradually.
We'll definitely see a result within the next thirty years.
After Ye Li nodded.
Li Cangjian cleared his throat and pondered for a moment before saying, "You should be familiar with the term 'Martial Dao Grandmaster'."
"But this is only our Huaxia's description of Seventh Tier martial artist."
"In the Federation, Seventh Tier martial artists have different titles; they are generally referred to as [Kings]."
"And this [Secret Realm of Kings] is the place where some [kings] in the Federation's history fell."
"The core area of the Secret Realm is filled with insights into the Golden Body, and it is also our destination."
"There are a total of fifteen slots this time. Nine are for the Federation itself, two are for Huaxia, two are for White Country, and the last two are for the wealthy Golden Moon Country."
Li Cangjian paused, then said in a deep voice, "I suppose you're not very familiar with the international situation, so let me say a few more words here."
"Our relationship with the Federation is neither good nor bad, but our relationship with the Golden Moon Country is rather hostile."
"If they speak rudely, you don't need to pay them any attention. Conserve your energy for entering the Secret Realm and focus on obtaining the Golden Body Technique first."
