Soon, after finalizing the future upgrade plan...
Ye Li glanced sideways at the Pope of the Temple kneeling trembling beside him, and calmly spoke:
"You previously said that the Federation has two more peerless martial artists outside the Star Sea?"
Although soul searching can also answer his question, it's more convenient to ask the person directly, as they are unlikely to lie.
Selecting the necessary fragments from the vast ocean of memories within the soul requires some time and effort.
"Yes."
Upon hearing the boy's question, Chris Zhenlin placed her hands flat on her rounded thighs and quickly straightened up to answer, "Those two are both former popes of the Federation Temple. The earliest former pope crossed the Star Sea and has been gone for over a thousand years."
As she spoke, her body trembled uncontrollably, and she dared not look her Family Head in the eye.
She still vividly remembered how she had threatened Ye Li with this before. If she angered the young man because of this, her death would be nothing more than a matter of the other party turning his hand.
Although her time as Maid was short, Chris Zhenlin was quickly getting used to this sense of security.
What is the Star Sea?
Ignoring the woman's trembling figure, Ye Li went straight to the question.
Because the speed at which the realm was ascending was too fast.
He knew nothing about these advanced topics and needed someone knowledgeable to enlighten him. "Is there a human civilization beyond Blue Star?"
"Yes, my lord."
Chris Zhenlin nodded slightly, then paused for two seconds as if gathering her thoughts, before slowly replying:
"[The Star Sea] is something that has existed since ancient times, referring to the vast asteroid belt beyond Blue Star."
"While the Star Sea is extremely dangerous, it has almost completely blocked interstellar communication between Blue Star and the outside world. Even the most powerful beings at the pinnacle of strength were unable to cross it before, so we knew nothing about extraterrestrial civilizations."
"But two thousand years ago, the density and flow rate of the Star Sea began to decrease, which suddenly gave the top martial artists on Blue Star the ability to traverse the [Star Sea]."
"Based on the information they've intermittently transmitted back over the past two thousand years..."
"Beyond Blue Star, there is another civilization."
At this point, she paused for a moment, then said, "Huaxia's [Pillar of the Nation] should know something about this."
"Among the Mountain Sea Realm warriors who have not yet left Blue Star, he is the most senior. Even the two former popes of the Federation Temple have sent letters from beyond the heavens many times to inquire about his specific physical condition."
"Mountain Sea Realm?" Ye Li raised an eyebrow and interjected, "Mountain Sea Realm is the name for the Ninth Tier of Martial Dao?"
Chris Zhenlin was taken aback at first, then nodded and said, "Yes."
After merging with the Dao, it evolved into the Mountain and Sea.
For those low-level young martial artists, this is naturally top-level information that is difficult to access.
But since our Family Head has already advanced to the Hegemony Realm, he must have been carefully nurtured by Huaxia Qingyi Bureau since childhood. Why is he suddenly asking about such basic information?
It's really hard to fathom...
Ye Li did not explain, but said calmly, "Continue."
Upon hearing this, Chris Zhenlin snapped out of her daze and nodded hastily, not daring to disobey in the slightest. "Normally speaking, a martial artist at the Dao Observation Realm who has formed Golden Body no longer needs to breathe and can already travel through the starry sky with their powerful physical body."
"It is precisely because of the existence of the [Star Sea] that those who are not at the Mountain Sea Realm cannot leave Blue Star."
She carefully observed the boy's expression. "This is probably about some matters concerning [Star Sea], which is one of the secrets known only to the high-ranking officials of various countries."
Ye Li nodded slightly, then asked, "When will those two Mountain Sea Realm warriors from the Federation return?"
Facing a formidable enemy, he also needs to prepare appropriate countermeasures as soon as possible.
"This..."
Chris Zhenlin's expression stiffened, and she replied with pursed lips, "My lord, there is too little information available for reference, so the temple cannot be certain either."
"I can only say that it will take anywhere from two or three weeks to three months."
Her voice sounded unusually weak, and her body trembled uncontrollably, as if she was worried that Ye Li would punish her for it.
Even after witnessing Ye Li's terrifying growth rate firsthand over the past two or three weeks, she still felt somewhat unsure of herself.
Ye Li did not reply upon hearing this.
Seeing this, Chris Zhenlin trembled even more violently, her head pressed tightly to the ground, staring at the other person's toes with utter terror, wishing she could press her face against them. "My lord..."
"Two or three weeks?"
Ye Li out a soft breath. He also felt that time was a bit tight, but there were still ways to deal with it.
Perhaps.
Hopefully, Huaxia still has enemies internationally.
"Han Xia Guozhu is in good condition and may be able to help you."
Chris Zhenlin said in a hoarse voice, "And that [Papal Staff], I suggest you don't carry it on your person. The temple has tracking capabilities, and they might be able to use it to pinpoint your location."
Han Xia Guozhu?
Ye Li chuckled softly. In the face of crisis, no one else can be relied upon; only by relying on oneself can one break through the encirclement.
He didn't say much, but instead asked, "After learning of your death, will the two Emperors of the Federation come to avenge you?"
"..."
Chris Zhenlin was silent for a moment before straightening up slightly and answering seriously, "Hard to say."
"The relationship between the temple and them is actually not very good."
Upon hearing this, Ye Li was somewhat disappointed. "I see..."
"But most of them will come to Huaxia to ask for the divine staff. This eighth-tier Treasured Artifacts, besides its power of [Divine Word], also possesses many symbolic meanings."
Chris Zhenlin quickly added, afraid that this might influence her judgment. "For the Federation, this staff is absolutely indispensable."
That's wonderful!
Ye Li's brows relaxed, and he slowly stroked the Fengyun Gold Medal at his waist, fearing that the Federation might not care about it at all, otherwise the supply chain would really be cut off.
From this perspective...
The opportunity to reap both Infamy Level and Malice Points seems to be just around the corner.
At this very moment, it is contained within this Fengyun Gold Medal.
Ye Li returned Chris Zhenlin to his soul space.
Then bring up the panel and inject all the remaining Malice Points into the Martial Arts Level column.
[Bite!]
[Starting to consume Malice Points, continuously increasing Martial Arts Level!]
