A Supreme's Prestige, Jade Mountain Refinement

"No one can cure him?"

Ye Li rubbed the patterns on the waist tag with his fingers and asked with some curiosity.

A black-level mission... This means that this Vajra Buddhist Disciple is at most at the Dao Evolution Realm. Even if he is a top-tier Domain Lord, he shouldn't be able to cause such a big stir within the Great Sheng Territory.

Putting aside everything else, just the governors who are stationed in a single prefecture would probably be enough to give him a hard time.

"There are definitely some. Take, for example, Prefect Cao Ming of our Xianjing Continent. Many years ago, he successfully entered the Cosmic Birth Realm, which is a genuine Venerable cultivation level. If he were to encounter this Vajra Buddhist Disciple, subduing him should not be a difficult task."

Xie Huaiwei sighed, "But they are Buddhist Disciple from prestigious sects, how could they not know the methods of the Great Sheng? They brought several Buddhist Treasure to conceal their aura, how could any local prefecture or county have the ability to locate them?"

"Not to mention, he even carries the two most powerful Buddhist Treasure from the Vajra Hall with him. He could probably contend with even a Venerable One if he were to encounter one..."

"Anything else?" Ye Li knew the other person hadn't finished speaking.

Given the resources of Dasheng, if the Venerable One is not capable, then they should send out someone stronger. They can't just stand by and watch this Vajra Buddhist Disciple go unpunished, can they?

"What else could it be? It's the reason everyone knows."

Xie Huaiwei pursed her lips and said, "The Four Extremes Twelve Gates, the Vajra Hall belongs to the Great Brahma Palace, one of the [Four Extremes]."

"In other words, this Buddhist Disciple is a disciple of that Immortal Realm Buddhist supreme being."

"This background and title alone are enough to terrify a bunch of Yao Xuan Envoy, not to mention that the Palace Master of the Vajra Hall has already made a statement, 'earnestly requesting' everyone to consider the face of their Great Brahma Palace and allow him, the Palace Master, to personally subdue this Buddhist Disciple who rose from the Vajra Hall."

"He said it was a plea, but who couldn't tell what he really meant?"

Xie Huaiwei's words carried a hint of sneer. What difference was there between these words and directly telling the Dasheng Nine Luminaries Division to show mercy? It was simply telling the governors of each continent to think twice before acting when they encountered that Buddhist Disciple.

Is it really that hard to guess who is behind this Vajra Hall?

Upon hearing this, Ye Li nodded slightly, his mind racing with thoughts.

Based on the memories of the soul and the other party's account, he finally understood the respectful title given to martial artists in the Great Sheng Realm.

Dao Evolution Realm Domain Lord, Cosmic Birth Realm Venerable, Immortal Realm Supreme.

As for why both the Cosmic Birth Realm and the Heaven and Earth Realm and Earth are called Venerables.

Ye Li believed that it might be because cultivators at the Heaven and Earth Realm, even within Dragon Pool County, were not qualified to sit at the table for a meal. At best, they were minor experts in some large city, and therefore were not qualified to be addressed with respect.

Although both the Retainer General and the general of the Great Sheng Dynasty were called generals by the people, the difference between them was enormous and clearly visible.

Composing himself, Ye Li turned and asked:

"Does this mean that even the Supreme Being has to give face?"

"Even the Supreme One's face must be given by Da Sheng." Xie Huaiwei nodded in affirmation of this statement.

To her, beings of this level were practically gods.

However, this does not mean that this Vajra Buddhist Disciple can act with impunity within the territory of Dasheng.

The Great Sage Society will grant a certain degree of tolerance to the strong, but not unlimited tolerance. There are limits to how much face they will give to that Buddhist supreme being.

If the disturbance gets too big, or if the Vajra Hall fails to capture this wanted criminal for too long...

When the Nine Luminaries Division takes action, they will no longer show any mercy.

As for now, it's really a matter of turning a blind eye.

"This Vajra Buddhist Disciple is quite clever."

Xie Huaiwei added, "Not only do they know that even if the people of the Nine Luminaries Division are surrounded and attacked by the local Yao Xuan Envoy, they will not kill any of them, but will try every means to escape."

"Understood."

Ye Li put away the waist token in his hand and silently made a mental note of the matter.

This Vajra Buddhist Disciple's approach was indeed tactful; he knew how to get Da Sheng to be as lenient with him as possible.

Let's leave it for now, but we can keep an eye on it later.

"This task is just a formality for us; anyway, nobody in the entire Dragon Pool can stop that madman."

Xie Huaiwei sighed, appearing utterly helpless about the matter. "If we happen to run into someone, it's a good thing. As long as we bring back news, the department will provide appropriate compensation."

Ye Li neither confirmed nor denied this.

Just then, the Tiger Tally at his waist suddenly vibrated slightly.

This means that Prefect Lin has something to discuss with him.

Ye Li stood up, exchanged a few more pleasantries with Xie Huaiwei, and then successfully saw her out of the courtyard.

They then headed towards the prefectural governor's residence.

We traversed wide streets and overcame numerous restrictions.

Under the moonlight, Ye Li quickly arrived at the prefectural governor's mansion. It was late at night, and the mansion was exceptionally quiet.

As soon as I entered the main hall, the old man's familiar voice rang in my ears.

"They've arrived?"

Lin Huaijin looked up from behind his desk, clearly having been busy there for some time.

When Ye Li approached, he tossed a scroll from the table over and laughed:

"I've picked out the [Great Dao Resonance Method] for you. Take a look and see if it suits you. If not, I'll take you to the storeroom to take another look."

[Spiritual Great Dao Resonance Method: Thousand Mountains Ten Thousand Peaks (Beginner)]

It doesn't feel as good as the legacy of the Skeletal Elder...

Looking at the text appearing on the panel, Ye Li sighed inwardly, then calmly nodded and said:

Is there anything else?

"I knew you'd be impatient, kid." Lin Huaijin smiled slightly. He actually wanted to chat with his lieutenant first to build a rapport.

However, such matters always require mutual consent; one-sided casual conversation will only escalate into a stalemate resembling an interrogation.

Lin Huaijin picked up the jade seal from the table, stepped down from the table, came to Ye Li, and pondered:

"I've just taken office as prefect, and there are many things I haven't had time to take over yet, so there's nothing I can give you."

"This is the certificate of [Jade Mountain Refinement], an opportunity prepared for me by the higher-ups. However, I am old and frail, and even with this refinement, I am unlikely to advance any further. Therefore, I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it."

The old man handed the jade seal to Ye Li and smiled:

"Consider this a reward for your meritorious service in wiping out the Mu family. I'll trouble you to go in my place."
