Realms In The Firmament

With over one hundred Saint Origin Stage cultivators beyond level five, the Monarch’s Hall could likely defeat the guards of a sky king. Ye Xiao really didn’t have to be so pessimistic.

That would be sightless!

However, the old man didn’t want Ye Xiao to know the truth… Even if there were only one or two level-five Saint Origin Stage cultivators, he wouldn’t let Ye Xiao know.

Level-five Saint Origin Stage cultivators were three levels stronger than Bu Xiangfeng, but incredibly more powerful than Bu Xiangfeng in practical fights. The difference was beyond Ye Xiao’s recognition, so Ye Xiao wouldn’t understand what it meant if he knew the truth!

The truth was that Ye Xiao had no idea what a miracle he had just created. It was a record that nobody ever broke.

He had so many powerful cultivators in his organization, but as the prime leader, he didn’t know.

Those powerful cultivators were working on the daily management affairs in the organization, while the weaker ones were in the Department of Battle as warriors.

Nobody ever ran an organization like this since the universe existed, except Ye Xiao!

Well, Master Ye did it!

It was a record that nobody would ever break, or anybody had ever broken in history. What a ridiculous record!

Ye Xiao would definitely become a weirdo in the history of the world!

“Well… If we don’t even dare to tell the world our men’s names… How are we going to influence the world…” Master Ju had no choice. He must give Ye Xiao his answer and then kept thinking of a way to introduce the powerful men under his lead…

Well, was this a good time to do so?

Ye Xiao looked at him for a while and then gritted his teeth. In a deep voice, he said, “I just thought about it, and you are right, Master Ju. As the Prime Leader of the Monarch’s Hall, I am not capable of holding everything up for the entire organization yet. We must have somebody who can stand up as poles of the Monarch’s Hall… Let’s make some representatives of the Monarch’s Hall. One Blade, Two Warriors, and Seven Stars. The leaders of the twelve units will be the Twelve Divine Stands!”

Master Ju was shocked. “Who is the One Blade? Who are the Two Warriors? Who are the Seven Stars? And the Twelve Divine Stands… Isn’t the title too big for these people?”

Ye Xiao said, “The One Blade is Qiu Luo. The Two Warriors should be the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long. I don’t have the Seven Stars yet, but we will find some good men. The Twelve Divine Stands… Well, that’s just a title… Our enemies wouldn’t care if it is too big or not, and our allies wouldn’t stop supporting us just because we have a big title for the men…”

“Like we just said, it is better to have a goal than nothing.”

Ye Xiao made a sign and said, “That’s it for now.”

“The One Blade is Qiu Luo? The Two Warriors are the Dark Evil Spirit and Bai Long? Well… That is…” Master Ju’s lips were shaking.

Master Ju was surprised that things didn’t go as he expected. He made the suggestion for not only the Monarch’s Hall but also the young people in the seven clans…

‘How did this go wrong? I didn’t have time to introduce my men yet… How could he just make his decision by himself? This isn’t right!’

“Prime Leader, the three men you just picked are all in the middle of the Divinity Origin Stage, aren’t they? I don’t think they can take responsibility for such big titles. If we let them be the soul figures of the Monarch’s Hall, it will only degrade our organization…” Master Ju said.

That was the only reason he could bring up as an argument against Ye Xiao’s plan. The older man surely was smarter. That was a quick reaction…

“Master Ju, didn’t you just tell me to give some big titles for our own men? If I am going to make some soul figures for the Monarch’s Hall, I should surely pick those whom I trust the most. The three of them decided to follow me since the beginning. If I don’t make them the soul figures, who should I choose?” Ye Xiao looked at Master Ju, and he was surprised. “I know they are weak, so what? They will keep getting better and stronger. I may not be a powerful cultivator, but I do have a lot of dan beads that can keep them safe. As long as they can have more fights and learn from their experiences, they will improve. I don’t think it is difficult to make them powerful cultivators. We just need more time. Don’t you agree?”

Master Ju was lost. He said, “Prime Master… Are you going to build your own team?”

“That’s right. Master Ju, you got the point.” Ye Xiao said, “To survive the chaotic world, having some powerful men is not enough. I need a team that is totally loyal to me! It belongs to me. And with my own team around, I will never feel powerless!”

Master Ju thought for a while, and then he realized that his own plan wasn’t the best for the prime master. It was true that a leader should be open-minded and accept all capable men to join him.

However, a leader should never easily trust some men who suddenly pledged loyalty. For a leader, only those who had followed him since the very beginning were trustworthy!

Therefore, it was reasonable that Qiu Luo, the Dark Evil Spirit, and Bai Long could become the soul figures in the Monarch’s Hall. Bu Xiangfeng wouldn’t have the chance, because he never swore to follow Ye Xiao with full loyalty. Meng Youjiang and his wife didn’t have the chance to be included in the Seven Stars. The young men who were loyal to Master Ju were the last Ye Xiao would choose…

He would choose those who were loyal to him even though they were not powerful enough and not those who were powerful but not proved to be loyal. It was obvious.

Master Ju understood it now. He didn’t know what to say, and he was a bit lost…

‘I… I didn’t see this coming at all… This is not part of my plan…’

…

“You are such a pig! You old stupid pig!” Master Guan and Master Song both scolded Master Ju. Master Ju looked frustrated.

“The older you become, the sillier you are! Calling you a pig insults a pig! How could you do such a foolish thing? Don’t you even know how to think? It is important to think of the problem from the perspective of the man when you are trying to play a scheme on him! What the hell did you do?”

Master Guan and Master Song both scolded Master Ju. Their whiskers were shaking. “This is unbelievable… This is unacceptable! This is unforgivable!”

Master Ju looked so sad, and he said, “I had a good plan… The young man has nobody… I was going to give him some powerful men… Oh heavens…”

“No excuse now! He has nobody, and that’s true. But do you really think he would just trust our men instead? Does he even know our men? Does he know our clans? How much does he know about our power? He couldn’t even tell what level we are! How could you do that? How dare you? How could you…
