As Ye Li and his companion entered the backyard, Tian Qingwu had just finished a phone call, immediately came to greet them.
This usually composed deputy hall master of the Ziwei Palace unexpectedly lost his composure.
She excitedly led Ye Li to the seat of honor, then poured him hot tea and immediately began to inquire about his well-being.
This is an unprecedented genius in the history of the Supreme Pure Divine Continent!
Tian Qingwu thought to himself, "As long as Ye Li can grow up smoothly, he's guaranteed to be True Lord in the future. There's probably no one else like him on the entire Ancestral Star. After all, the Creation Realm, which he can handle with ease on the Ancestral Star, is almost his starting point!"
Therefore, no amount of enthusiasm from the Ziwei Palace would be excessive.
"Elder Ye, I apologize for not greeting you properly earlier."
After exchanging pleasantries, Tian Qingwu sat down, supporting herself on a chair. Looking at the composed White-robed Youth before her, she said in a slightly apologetic tone:
"The situation in China is complex, and many things need to be reported quickly..."
"It's alright."
Ye Li accepted the teacup from Ying Xuanji, but did not delve into the topic further. Instead, he asked:
"What exactly did Hall Master Tian want to see me about?"
After a moment's hesitation, Tian Qingwu finally spoke frankly, "I would like to invite you to join the Ziwei Palace and become its ninth Star Lord. What do you think?"
Hearing the old woman's words, Ying Xuanji Dao Fruit.
Ye Li's current potential is simply unheard of. Such a young Divine Connection Realm cultivator would be regarded as a treasure no matter which force he joins.
The Ziwei Palace in Taiqing Shenzhou, as a crucial place for cultivating True Lord, is no exception.
And, to be honest...
If Ye Li were to actually join the Ziwei Palace, then the previous eight Star Lords would seem somewhat like clowns in comparison.
The gap between the two sides is too large.
Compared to the young man before them, the eight Star Lords who called themselves "prodigies of the Divine Continent" were practically uncivilized apes from ancient times!
I really don't know how Elder Ye cultivates...
What are the benefits of joining the Ziwei Palace?
Ye Li asked directly.
Benefit?
If it were any other prodigy, Tian Qingwu would definitely send them flying as far away as possible.
Those who join the Ziwei Palace and become Star Lord solely for personal gain are unlikely to help Shenzhou overcome its difficulties, even if they eventually become True Monarch of Creation Realm.
But the boy in front of me is different.
Even if it's just a matter of pure self-interest, Supreme Pure Divine Continent will do its utmost to keep him here; that's Ye Li's value.
This is the value of reaching the peak of the Divine Connection Realm before the age of twenty.
If the Taiqing Shenzhou were to suffer a catastrophic disaster one day, even if the foreign races that made the move did not kill a single soldier of the Divine Continent, they would probably do their best to kill this peerless genius!
Its influence is evident.
Tian Qingwu calmed himself down, then looked up at the boy again and said seriously:
"To be honest, the Star Lord of the Ziwei Palace usually only have one mission, which is to [advance to the Creation Realm as soon as possible] and add new True Lord combat power to the Divine Continent."
"Only in this way can Shenzhou gradually and completely gain a foothold on its ancestral planet."
Tian Qingwu took a deep breath. "To this end, the Ziwei Palace will provide them with any resources they need, whether it's Treasure Medicine, Cultivation Method, or an environment conducive to their cultivation, we will do our utmost to create it."
"For example... if a Star Lord is extremely lacking in a certain rare and precious treasure, and that treasure happens to grow in the treasury of a certain Immortal Sect, then even if the Ziwei Palace has to pay a huge price, it will still be able to exchange the Treasure Medicine from that Immortal Sect."
"You no longer need to waste time governing the situation in the Eastern Continent. The treasure vault has 360 pavilions, and the Secret Realm has 72 Grotto Heaven, all at your disposal."
"From now on, you only need to focus on your cultivation within the temple."
"As for the troubles in the Eastern Continent... the palace will send people there to help you resolve them later."
Listening to Tian Qingwu's words.
Ying Xuanji straightened her chest slightly. She had just broken through to the peak of the Divine Connection Realm and was now familiarizing herself with the realm.
If someone is needed to replace Ye Li in the Eastern Continent, she should be able to do it, and Ye Li will owe her a favor.
Moreover, under the shock of the extraordinary phenomenon of the Taiqing Dao Tablet.
The Star Lord's mindset has undergone a subtle change.
Even if it meant sacrificing some of her own interests in exchange for Ye Li's progress, she could barely accept it.
The question now is whether Fellow Daoist Ye wants to join the Ziwei Palace. With his talent, the Supreme Pure Divine Continent is far from being the only option...
Ying Xuanji felt a little uneasy without realizing it, her slender white fingers unconsciously twisting her sleeve.
"..."
Ye Li lowered his eyes, gazing at the steaming teacup in front of him, before finally raising his gaze and asking:
"As long as it benefits my cultivation, the Ziwei Palace will fully support any action I take?"
With official forces fully supporting their actions, plus the cooperation of local Heavenly Supervision Department and Demon Suppression Department... if that's the case, their power is truly boundless.
Therefore, he deliberately emphasized the phrase "any behavior".
I thought Tian Qingwu would impose some moral constraints.
However, Tian Qingwu simply nodded, and then said in a calm and unwavering voice:
"Yes."
This power is almost comparable to that of the Wallfacers in my previous life... Ye Li was slightly surprised.
Then he asked:
"What if I wanted to use the name of the Star Lord to restore order to the Eight Desolations?"
"Then let's make some changes!"
Tian Qingwu's gaze was intense, as if she were looking at the future hope of the Supreme Pure Divine Continent, and she said with unwavering certainty:
"As long as you take action within the Divine Continent, not only the Ziwei Palace, but also the various Heavenly Supervision Department and Demon Suppression Department across the land... according to the rules set by the Palace, they will all have to actively cooperate with your actions!"
"If anyone is negligent in their duties, or deliberately misses an opportunity—"
Tian Qingwu's voice turned cold and sharp. "The elders can then kill him on the spot! To uphold military discipline!"
In fact, this power is already frighteningly large.
Even surpassing the other eight Star Lord within the hall.
However, Tian Qingwu had seen the other party's operational records in the Eastern Continent. In just five days, they had broken through three Divine Connection Realm forces, and before coming here, they were also helping Eastern Continent clean up troubles...
That incomparably imposing aura of justice could almost be transmitted through the paper to her.
Therefore, Tian Qingwu chose to completely trust this Supreme Elder of the Eastern Continent.
In short, it's all in.
Shenzhou still has the resources to go all in. Even if a real problem arises, the current Ziwei Palace can stabilize the situation, so...
Tian Qingwu stared directly at Ye Li: "Elder Ye, what is your opinion?"
"..."
Ye Li withdrew his gaze from her incredibly stable soul.
He then glanced at Ying Xuanji without leaving a trace, and found that the aloof Star Lord's face showed no dissatisfaction, but rather a sense of matter-of-fact composure.
It looks like they're serious.
However, this should also be related to his previous actions in the Eastern Continent.
If he were truly a figurehead at the Eastern Continent Heavenly Supervision Department, the Ziwei Palace would not have been so quick to invest in him.
That does show some courage.
This move can be considered a win-win situation...
"Alright then." Ye Li gradually composed himself. "I'll take this position."
We'll see if it doesn't work out in the future.
It just so happens that he has never liked actions taken without a legitimate reason.
Using this identity as Star Lord, one can then legitimately travel to the Western Continent to meet Palace Master Jiang of the [Blazing Heaven Flame Palace]. If they cannot reach an agreement afterward, it will be much more reasonable for them to resort to violence.
Otherwise, what kind of person would it be if the Supreme Elder of the Eastern Continent's Heavenly Supervision Department went to the Western Continent to ask questions, and when they ignored him, he just flipped the table?
Upon hearing this, Tian Qingwu glanced at Ying Xuanji with delight, and Ying Xuanji's expression immediately softened considerably.
"Then it's settled." Tian Qingwu took out a Token from his pocket and tossed it to the young man opposite him. "Elder Ye, please keep this safe."
Ye Li took the Token without hesitation and subconsciously asked, "Is this the Star Lord's identification?"
"No," Tian Qingwu laughed, "It's the treasure catalog of the Ziwei Palace."
"Please see if there's anything you need first. As for the identification documents... I'll have Xuanji give them to you later."
