The Golden Horned Deer Vehicle transformed into faint starlight and disappeared, as Shen Fei and his companions appeared amidst the firmament. The climate here in Southeast Asia, before the professionals had their era initiated.
It was much more humid compared to Wu Xia, with dense forests and many towering mountains. After the profession era began, Blue Star underwent significant changes.
The extremes were even more extreme, not to mention the Abyssal invasion. After being steeped in Abyssal Breath, the areas it enveloped were filled with Abyssal Laws.
Initially, the Forest Demon entrenched itself, and the Tier Ten Abyssal True God wielded the laws. Luo Ran and the others, being professionals themselves, had some control.
The impact of the Tier Ten Abyssal True God was not too significant, but the Forest Demon itself originated from the Abyss. After becoming an Abyssal True God on Blue Star, it wildly spread its laws and rank to contaminate Blue Star’s lands.
Although the Forest Demon was slain by Chi You, the residual Abyssal Laws have not been completely eradicated from Blue Star.
Looking around now, one sees mountain peaks covered in twisted plants, resembling snakes climbing, and countless Abyssal Creatures fighting, absorbing the Abyssal Breath here.
On the peaks of these high mountains, some Abyssal Creatures, with auras like that of an Abyss, spread their Abyssal Breath to the surroundings, influencing Blue Star’s environment.
They transform it into an environment more suitable for the survival of Abyssal Creatures.
Were it not known that this was still Blue Star, merely from observing the environment and the slightly dim sky.
One would think this was the interior of the Abyss.
Little Pu emerged from the void, with a face as beautiful as a moon, wearing a light red long dress, elegant and noble in temperament, dignified in demeanor, like a noble lady of high status for a long time.
Her own existence contains the ’Nine Realms’, filled with countless creatures.
After obtaining [High-dimensional Manipulation], and after swallowing the ’Foundation of the High Celestial Plain’, her presence resembled the brilliant heavens.
If one’s strength was somewhat lower, they might be intimidated by Little Pu’s aura without her needing to use any skills.
Despite such a high-standing person, facing Shen Fei, she slightly bowed, her crimson lips gently opened.
"There is an Abyssal Passage approximately three thousand six hundred li to the south, and another one six thousand two hundred li to the west."
Shen Fei nodded slightly at these words, "Those two Abyssal Passages should be where the Puppet Emperor and White Elephant Emperor are located, as the Abyss serves as a resource for them."
"Since we intend to station troops here, naturally we have to announce our presence to them first. Saintess, go to the Puppet Emperor, True Martial, you head towards the White Elephant Emperor."
"Understood!"
The Saintess nodded and instantly vanished from her spot. The ’Source of Space Law’ that exploded from the Deceitful Wolf was refined by the Saintess, allowing her comprehension of Space Law to reach 10%.
Such similar sources of law are indeed a good method to enhance power.
True Martial also transformed into black and white light rushing towards the west, though at a much slower pace compared to the Saintess.
"As for this place, Little Pu, you handle it."
"Alright!"
In the next moment,
Little Pu’s figure seemed to rise infinitely, as if she ascended to an extremely high peak, overlooking everything in the world, with just a random gesture.
Her influence from ’above’ to ’below’ was like a child tilting a glass of water, which would be a catastrophic disaster for ants, reversing their world.
In an instant.
Heaven and earth turned upside down. In Shen Fei’s sight, the Abyssal Breath, which seemed like a attached bone of gangrene, continuously dissipated, and the bizarrely shaped plants vanished in an instant.
The surrounding towering mountains seemed flattened, as peaks were pressed down lightly by a supreme existence, turning all into flat land.
Mountains turned into plains.
Such a scene of transformative grandeur occurred without any grand noise.
It seemed as if it had always been this way.
The Abyssal Creatures that had existed around also disappeared completely, as if they were ants plucked away by someone.
As for those Tier Eight Abyssal Creatures, at most, they were only slightly larger ants.
They were all cast into the ’Nine Realms’ by Little Pu.
Now, Abyssal Creatures are rather rare resources for Shen Fei, as they must be used to complete the ’Summoning Spirit’ task.
Unfortunately, the Abyssal Creatures used for the ’Summoning Spirit’ task will not yield any items.
Just like those Abyssal Creatures consumed by the [Immortal Celestial Scripture] and the [Heaven-Devouring Demon Technique], they will not yield any items.
Little Pu’s figure returned from ’above’ to ’below’, "It’s resolved."
...
Southeast Asia.
Puppet Kingdom.
A massive city was situated by the sea, surrounded by walls nearly twenty meters high. The walls bore scars, with mottled bloodstains still lingering on them.
On top of the walls, individuals patrolled and guarded, their skin sallow, foreheads wide and noses flat, with no light in their eyes.
A beam of light flashed across the dim sky without any concealment, startling the professionals guarding the walls.
The next moment.
Two figures emerged from the city, their faces wary as they gazed at the approaching multicolored light, "This is the realm of the Puppet Emperor! No flying over the airspace!"
The woman among them had her cheeks painted with oils, astonished by the incoming light, as her reconnaissance skills couldn’t discern any information.
All displayed information were question marks.
"Summon the Puppet Emperor."
The figure of the Saintess emerged from the light, her voice calm. If these weren’t also people of Blue Star, she could slap the Puppet Emperor to death.
"You—!"
The face-painted woman heard the Saintess’s disrespectful words towards the Puppet Emperor and her face filled with anger, just about to speak.
Simultaneously.
A pale grey figure floated out from within the city, resembling a drifting skin, with an urgent voice.
"Silence!"
The Puppet Emperor Guo He respectfully said, "Greetings to the Walking Lord! Greetings to the Saintess!"
The Saintess raised her brow slightly at these words, "You know the master? Wuxia Person?"
Though the form of Guo He was somewhat peculiar, his face differed from those typical of Southeast Asia, which were wide foreheads and flat noses, resembling more of a Wuxia person’s face.
"My family’s roots were once in Wu Xia, later settled in Southeast Asia..."
Guo He dared not be negligent; naturally, he had many connections in Wu Xia, as Wu Xia was his ancestral home.
Though connections were somewhat lost during the era of professionals, after becoming the Puppet Emperor, he reestablished some connections with Wu Xia.
However, when the Forest Demon took over the center of Southeast Asia, his communications with Wu Xia waned again.
But it’s not to say that there were no means of communication.
Of course, he knew of Shen Fei’s high status in Wu Xia, adding to the occurrences of the Forest Demon and Chi You battle, alongside the phenomenon akin to sun and moon brilliance over Yamato.
He learned that these were caused by the activity of the Walking in Wu Xia, and through various means, he had to recognize Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast.
Although he wasn’t familiar with Luo Ran’s Summoned Beast’s skills, he knew its appearance to avoid being caught unaware if they ever encountered.
"From now onwards, the southeast area will be the military base established by my master, and when needed, you may have to assist in coordination."
"Understood."
Guo He nodded repeatedly, unable to hide his delight, "With the Walking Lord here, the blue sky over Southeast Asia is assured."
His words were genuine, not just out of courtesy.
He had long hoped for Wu Xia to spare some resources to take over Southeast Asia.
Wu Xia’s stable environment compared to constant fears of Abyssal Emperors, or even True Gods, occurring was much preferable.
In the Puppet Kingdom he was the local emperor, but before the Forest Demon, he could be crushed at any moment.
Even though Wu Xia had rigorous oversight on powerful professionals, it was still preferable to constantly fearing for one’s life.
Now, as Wu Xia begins taking over Southeast Asia officially, especially given it is an entity capable of slaying Abyssal True Gods, he was entirely onboard with it.
