The Twenty-Four Prefectures of Eastern Continent

The Greedy Wolf Star Domain and the Taiqing Star Domain are far apart, and finding them without knowing their exact location is not an easy task.

Fortunately, Qin Han was from the Eastern Continent, and he had been away from home for many years to establish the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, so he was somewhat uncertain about his future.

For his own safety, the first thing he did after establishing the Heavenly Machine Pavilion was to spend a huge amount of resources to build a spatial wormhole connecting the Taiqing Star Domain in the secret area of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion.

Although it's a temporary wormhole that will be obsolete after use, it's sufficient for the current situation.

Moreover, Array Formation leading directly to [Eastern Continent] is hidden outside the wormhole.

It is entirely possible to travel all the way from Tianheng Star to Taiqing Ancestral Star.

"The situation on the ancestral star is extremely complex. If we are not careful during the journey, even a Venerable One could encounter serious trouble."

Qin Han tore open the secret realm's protective barrier, leading Ye Li inside. Gazing at the dark wormhole hovering in mid-air ahead, he chuckled softly:

"Although my cultivation level is not top-notch, I am quite valued within my sect. Most of these things were arranged by my master beforehand."

"Finally, it's come in handy."

As he spoke, his true energy surged forth, summoning a small, entirely blue-white boat. He stepped into it first, and his figure vanished.

Ye Li followed closely behind.

Although his current level of cultivation is sufficient to withstand spatial turbulence of this magnitude, he does not need any so-called Treasured Artifacts for protection.

But being able to resist is one thing, and choosing not to resist is another.

He never suffers any hardship that isn't necessary.

The two figures disappeared into the spatial wormhole.

The entire secret realm of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion began to crumble, sending the two of them rapidly toward the Taiqing Star Domain, which was more than ten million miles away.

"Unbeknownst to me, hundreds of years have passed since I arrived here..."

On the flying shuttle, Qin Han gazed at the gradually crumbling entrance to the wormhole and sighed with some regret.

When he first came here from the Taiqing Star Domain, he was only at the Sun Moon Realm Fifth Layer.

In just a few hundred years, they have broken through three levels of heaven, a speed that is quite rapid even within the Eastern Continent's Heavenly Supervision Department.

This is also thanks to the unbridled divination and fortune-telling on Tianheng Star.

Unlike the perilous Taiqing Ancestral Star, there are countless objects related to the creation of True Person, where one careless mistake could lead to one's own demise.

I quietly sorted out my thoughts.

Qin Han turned around and looked at Ye Li again, smiling, "Don't worry, sir. Although I've been away from the Eastern Continent for hundreds of years, I can still keep track of the current situation there through the Treasured Artifacts within the Eastern Continent."

"I've even had my eye on your jurisdiction for a long time."

As he spoke, he took out a thick map of the Eastern Continent, slowly unfolded it in front of him, and pointed to an area painted green, saying:

"Sir, you see, Wanjing Prefecture is rich in Spiritual Energy, with fertile land stretching for tens of thousands of miles. In the past thousand years, there have been very few major events concerning the Divine Connection Realm."

"The level of danger isn't the highest among the twenty-four prefectures of the Eastern Continent, which is perfect for you, sir, to stay in the Divine Continent and live off... cough, collect your salary."

After saying that, Qin Han coughed twice, his posture visibly relaxed, and continued with a smile, "You only need to go to the Imperial Sky Observatory within the Ministry of Personnel to transfer personnel, and you will be able to obtain the corresponding Guest Elder Jade Token and go to this place to take up your post."

Ye Li listened quietly, silently constructing a map of the Eastern Continent in his mind.

Given the current situation, Qin Han's attitude has been sincere enough.

Inviting him to Shenzhou for tea was truly an arrangement made with tea as the sole purpose of the visit. Even the large prefecture in the Eastern Continent where he was assigned sounded like a place of peace and prosperity.

No one can ask for too much.

But the problem is... he doesn't want to receive a salary without working.

They came here specifically to target the restless True Person Mountain Gate the Divine Continent. If their jurisdictions are too far away, it might be inconvenient to take action later.

"Sir, there's no need to worry."

Seeing the troubled look on his face, Qin Han quickly added, "Although there are two first-class True Person sects in Wanjing Prefecture Immortal Sect True Persons of the Divine Connection Realm in charge, their relationship with Shenzhou is quite good. They have been law-abiding for many years and actively respond to the defense against foreign enemies."

"Your daily work involves patrolling and clearing out any anomalies within the main county. As for powerful enemies outside the main county, the Demon Suppression Department is responsible for dealing with them."

"If we encounter some stubborn Mountain Gate that we cannot conquer by force, we can use the [Guest Elder Jade Token] to request troops from the Demon Suppression Department for easier action."

Such a peaceful and stable prefecture sounds truly unsettling...

Ye Li let out a barely perceptible breath.

He then looked at an area marked in blood red on the map and asked casually:

"Where is this place?"

There's no need to rush. After all, this is only one side of the story. We'll only know the real situation by going to the scene in person.

"Tai'an Prefecture."

Qin Han looked in the direction he was pointing, and his expression changed slightly as he said, "There has been quite a bit of trouble there recently. We'll have to wait until that senior elder in the department comes out of seclusion, or until my master is free to help, before we can figure out a solution."

"I see..."

Ye Li kept this in mind and did not rush to volunteer to go and investigate.

Because it's unnecessary.

According to the other party, the [Guest Elder Jade Token] of the Heavenly Supervision Department has no location restrictions and can be used anywhere.

Then I can just go and check it out myself when the time comes.

Fight if you can, retreat if you can't.

There's absolutely no need to worry.

Seeing him nod, Qin Han assumed that the other party had taken his words to heart and couldn't help but laugh, "Sir, you are indeed knowledgeable about the world. Then let me tell you more about the specific situation of [Wanjing Prefecture]?"

He has petitioned his superiors to allow him to accompany Ye Li to Wanjing Prefecture as its garrison commander.

Anyway, I'll be reassigned to a local post soon after this trip.

It would be better to simply follow behind this obviously extraordinary and mysterious big shot, so as to do one's part in any way possible.

"Just a brief explanation will suffice."

"OK."

After obtaining Ye Li's consent.

Qin Han put away the map in his hand and sat up straight. "Wanjing Prefecture is located on the edge of the Eastern Continent. There are about a dozen Mountain Gate sects with Venerable Ones presiding over them, and the number of people in the county is in the hundreds of millions..."

At this point, he added, "The Laws on the ancestral star are extraordinary. Within the Eastern Continent, even ordinary martial artists who haven't reached the demigod level can live for three to five hundred years."

"In terms of prosperity alone, Taiqing Shenzhou can be considered the most prosperous Human Race force in the entire ancestral star and even the surrounding Star Domain!"

As he narrated.

The two were getting closer and closer to the Taiqing Star Domain.

After nearly three days.

A majestic planet, many times larger than Blue Star, finally came into Ye Li's view, displaying a magnificent array of phenomena.

"Mr. Ye, that is the Taiqing Ancestral Star."

Qin Han got up from the flying shuttle, looked ahead, and smiled brightly.

PS: I'm organizing my thoughts on the new map, so this is just one update for now. I'll make up for it later.
