Wu Shattered Star River

Taking over Tianwu Sect went smoothly. The Fei family had only occupied Tianwu Sect for a hundred years. These few Saint Sovereigns were either left behind from before or had joined later, and they didn't have much loyalty to the Fei family.

Or rather…

None of the experts in the entire Eastern Ten States had much loyalty, because the power of forces in the Eastern Ten States vanished too frequently.

An expert might occupy a force, but might be killed or expelled after a few months or years.

For the cultivators below, what difference did it make who they followed? As long as the new leader wasn't too tyrannical and gave them food, that was enough.

Clearly!

Jiang Han was a good boss. He didn't reorganize Tianwu Sect too much. He issued an order—to let the four Saint Sovereigns perform their respective duties. He only wanted half of the resources, and the remaining half was to be divided among the four Saint Sovereigns and the cultivators below.

Usually, Jiang Han didn't manage the affairs of Tianwu Sect. He sent Wang Yu as a supervisor to monitor the entire Tianwu Sect.

As for whether Wang Yu would collude with the four Saint Sovereigns and embezzle his resources?

Jiang Han didn't care. It didn't matter if he didn't find out, but if he did, Wang Yu and the colluding Saint Sovereigns would die.

Jiang Han also made it clear that he would secretly investigate from time to time, and that he would also arrange for secret agents. If the four Saint Sovereigns and Wang Yu wanted to die, they could do whatever they wanted.

The four Saint Sovereigns and Wang Yu hurriedly said they wouldn't dare. At least for a short time, they definitely wouldn't dare to mess around.

Moreover, Jiang Han was giving them enough. When the Fei family controlled Tianwu Sect, they took 70% of the sect's resources, and all the Saint Sovereigns and cultivators only divided 30%.

Surrounded by a group of Saint Sovereigns and Heavenly Emperors, Jiang Han toured Tianwu Sect.

This sect was quite decent. It was estimated that it had been operating for many years before. After the Fei family occupied it, they operated it for another hundred years, and the sect's systems, rules, and regulations were all very complete.

Jiang Han became the new sect master, but he was too lazy to change the name, because he and Ye Wanqiu definitely wouldn't stay in Tianwu Sect for too long.

Ning Province wasn't their final foothold. The resources in the entire Ning Province were too scarce, and they couldn't even supply the resources needed for Ye Wanqiu's cultivation.

In fact, Jiang Han was thinking that even the Southern Region wasn't a place to stay for long. He wanted to go to the Northern Region, but he just didn't know how to get there yet.

If he went to the Northern Region and had Zhen Ji and Yao Ao as backers, not only would life be good, but more importantly, he could follow Zhen Ji to fight back to the Eastern Region.

In Jiang Han's heart, the Eastern Region was home, because his family and clansmen were in the Great Chiliocosm below the Eastern Region. That was his root, his homeland.

He and Ye Wanqiu were like two stray dogs who had been driven out, and he naturally wanted to go home.

"I have to find a way to increase my strength, at least to the Dao Ancestor Realm!"

While inspecting Tianwu Sect, Jiang Han thought to himself. If he wanted to fight back to the Eastern Region and go home, even if he didn't reach the sixth or seventh level of the Dao Ancestor Realm, he had to break through to the Dao Ancestor Realm, right?

With his current combat power, he was no threat to the Dao Ancestor Realm at all. Ye Wanqiu's combat power was also not enough. When facing a powerful Dao Ancestor Realm, she would either be captured or killed.

After taking a tour, Jiang Han returned to the main hall of Tianwu Sect. He dismissed all the Heavenly Emperors and looked at the four Saint Sovereigns and asked, "Do you understand the Void Realm?"

"The Void Realm?"

The four Saint Sovereigns looked at each other. Two of the Saint Sovereigns looked confused. One of the Saint Sovereigns said, "Sect Master, I've heard of it, but I don't really understand it."

Wang Lin pondered for a moment, and then said, "Sect Master, I've heard some things. It's said that if you can refine a Void Realm, you can mobilize the power of the Void Realm."

"This power is very terrifying. If you can refine it successfully, you can easily suppress Dao Ancestor Realm experts below the third level just by relying on the power of the Void Realm!"

"Oh?"

A trace of curiosity appeared in Jiang Han's eyes. He was just asking casually, but he didn't expect that Wang Lin really understood?

He asked, "How did you learn about it? Have you seen any information about it?"

Wang Lin replied, "My great-grandfather once served as the Grand Commander of the Feather Forest Army for the Qingyu Clan. He knew the Qingyu Clan very well. An ancestor of the Qingyu Clan once successfully refined a Void Realm."

"It seems to have been more than a million years ago? Unfortunately, he was killed by an expert from the Central Region in a great battle not long after he successfully cultivated it."

"Really?"

Jiang Han couldn't sit still and stood up abruptly and asked, "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"

"I shouldn't be wrong!"

Wang Lin was startled. He didn't expect Jiang Han to be so excited. He replied, "My great-grandfather served the Qingyu Clan for hundreds of years and knew the Qingyu Clan very well. It was also because of my great-grandfather's experience that my family was exterminated by the Kong family."

Speaking of the end, Wang Lin gritted his teeth a little.

Jiang Han's thoughts became active. His eyes flickered and he asked, "Do you have any way to get a copy of the Qingyu Clan's Void Realm refining information? Whoever can get it, I will reward them heavily!"

The four Saint Sovereigns looked at each other, with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Although the Qingyu Clan had declined, they were still a royal family, the nominal masters of the Southern Region. The Qingyu Clan had two Dao Ancestor Realm experts, and one of the ancestors was at the sixth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm.

How important was a secret method like refining the Void Realm? How could they possibly get it?

The royal family was rich and owned the four seas. The resources in the treasure vault must be piled up like mountains. They definitely couldn't exchange it even if they used treasures.

As for stealing? This thing must be in the imperial city, how could they steal it?

Wang Lin thought for a while and said, "Sect Master, I still have some friends in Qingyu City. I can...try, but I guess it will be very, very difficult!"

"Hmm!"

Jiang Han nodded and said, "Give it a try. You can mobilize the resources in the sect at will. As long as you can get it, you will be the vice sect master of Tianwu Sect in the future!"

Wang Lin bowed and said, "This subordinate will definitely do my best!"

Jiang Han nodded in satisfaction, and then asked, "Besides Tianwu Sect, are there any other powerful forces in Ning Province?"

"Yes!"

Ru Yun replied, "Our Tianwu Sect is in the north. There are also three major forces in the south, west, and east, namely Qianjiao Sect, Xiaoyao Sect, and Wenjian Pavilion."

"These three forces are all major sects, and they all have several Saint Sovereigns. Among them, Qianjiao Sect is the strongest, with eight Saint Sovereigns. They have always considered themselves the strongest force in Ning Province and regard themselves as the overlord of Ning Province."

Changsun Rui continued, "Yes, mainly because Qianjiao Sect likes to cultivate beautiful women and enchantresses, and often sends out a large number of well-trained enchantresses, so Qianjiao Sect has a good relationship with the major forces in the nearby states."

"Qianjiao Sect once had a Saintess who married the young patriarch of the Lynx Clan, the master of the nearby Liang Province, as a concubine—the clan king of the Lynx Clan is in the Dao Ancestor Realm and is the largest force in Liang Province."

"Qianjiao Sect?"

Jiang Han frowned. If it was just eight Saint Sovereigns, it wouldn't matter, but the marriage alliance with the Lynx Clan was a bit troublesome, after all, the Lynx Clan had a Dao Ancestor Realm expert.

He thought for a while and asked, "What level is the Dao Ancestor Realm expert of the Lynx Clan?"

Changsun Rui replied, "It should be the second or third level. Liang Province is similar to our Ning Province, and they are both very barren."

"The Lynx Clan did not establish their clan in Liang Province in the past, but in the more fertile Yan Province. Later, they were expelled by another major force. It seems that the sect master of that major force was only at the fourth level of the Dao Ancestor Realm!"

"Second or third level!"

Jiang Han exhaled slightly and was not too worried. The second or third level was okay. If they faced each other, he and Ye Wanqiu would also have a chance to fight.

Seeing Jiang Han breathe a sigh of relief, the four Saint Sovereigns were all slightly stunned. What did Jiang Han mean? Could it be that he could fight against the second or third level of the Dao Ancestor Realm?

Seeing Jiang Han's expression, Wang Yu was excited.

His guess was indeed correct. It seemed that Ye Wanqiu was really in the Dao Ancestor Realm? This time, he was not only hugging four thighs, but also two towering trees!
