--- Chapter 141 ---
Yao Ming and other elders from the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe watched Baek Ain's fight from afar.
They were frightened by the power of Hell's Guidance Array, which was capable of trapping anyone below 3-Star Dou Saint and weakening them to oblivion.
It is extremely horrible for Hall of Souls members as they weakened a lot, feeling their Soul-Related Dou Techniques become unbearably useless.
They cannot fight.
They cannot run.
They are helpless livestock on the chopping block, waiting to get slaughtered.
Yao Ming smiled bitterly at this sight. The fearsome Hall of Souls got reduced to this pitiful state.
He felt fear, awe, jealous, and somewhat happy.
Fear because such a monster like Baek Ain exists in this world.
Awe, at his seemingly endless strength and extraordinary mastery over Array.
Envy because the Sun-Swallowing Nether Bird Tribe actually have him as their Saint.
And somewhat happy as their Saintess is one of his women. Even though they haven't married yet, the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe will receive massive benefits.
Well, if we are talking about benefits. The Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe received a huge one already.
The Hell's Guidance Array is something they could use for a lifetime, according to Baek Ain's words. They only needed to charge the Array back with the same resources, which were Magical Beasts' remains.
Since they are inherently Magical Beast Tribe, they could contribute to their Tribe by leaving their remains here.
As long as the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe maintained its status and power amongst the strongest Beast Tribe, it would form a continuous loop.
"Prepare for the second attack." Baek Ain suddenly flashed to their side and loosened his shoulders. "Chief Ming, you better warm up because the Hall of Souls' Western Branch has two more Dou Saints."
"I have taught you to control Hell's Guidance Array, so they shouldn't be a problem."
"Minimize the casualty. We need to conquer the Mellowing Serpentine Dragon Secret Realm after this."
"Noted." Yao Ming nodded firmly. It's his chance to prove that the Nine Serene Deep Ground Python Tribe's worthy of becoming Baek Ain's ally.
Baek Ain chuckled, "Don't be so stuffy."
"It's just Hall of Souls. I'm planning to wipe them up sooner or later."
"Just Hall of Souls..." Yao Ming and the Tribe's elders were rendered speechless. It's not hard for them to notice Baek Ain's casual tone when talking about Hall of Souls, meaning he has utter confidence to succeed.
If they thought about it deeply, it wouldn't even take Baek Ain a year to wipe the Hall of Souls because he possessed Behemoth Paradise on his back.
From Yao Ling, they learned that Behemoth Paradise is completely advanced in any shape or form compared to the outside world.
The only Behemoth Paradise lacked was time to develop.
"Well, I'll leave. Call me when the second attack arrives." Baek Ain kicked the ground and disappeared from their sight.
Ha arrived at the quiet grassland and sighed, "This world changed too much."
"Who would have thought the Hall of Souls possessed this many Half-Saint and Dou Saint Experts..." Thanks to Lady Yue's incomplete memory, Baek Ain finally knew the power Hall of Souls had.
On the Western Branch alone, the Hall of Souls has three Dou Saints and twenty-one Half-Saint Experts. And this branch wasn't the strongest as the Hall of Souls' Southern Branch tripled that amount.
Fortunately, Baek Ain wasn't afraid of challenges.
According to Eden, the Spirit of Clocktower in the Behemoth Paradise, the Serials have made tremendous improvements.
Over 6.900 people have reached the realm of Dou Venerates. They also attained the early stage of Sage Physique thanks to Great Honey Milk Tree's roots.
One hundred and fifty-seven people have reached the early stage of Half-Saint Realm, starting to evolve their Sage Physique to Great Sage Physique under Fan Gu's model instruction.
Forty-nine people have reached the middle stage of the Half-Saint Realm, with some evolving their Sage Physique to variant type. Even then, they are still researching a way to become stronger. It was due to Baek Ain modifying their Dou Techniques and giving them hope.
Surprisingly, twenty-five people have attained the high stage of the Half-Saint Realm. They have even evolved their Sage Physique to Great Sage Physique, unlocking their genes. These elites gained a massive strength boost, making them monsters compared to people of the same cultivation base.
Fan Gu wasn't bragging when he said Great Sage Physique could compete with the people of the Great Thousand World.
And lastly, including the top 10 serials, twelve people have successfully become Dou Saint. Number 1, or what she named herself as Bai Linglong, reached 2-Star Dou Saint just yesterday.
Yes, the Serials on the Behemoth have taken "Bai." as their surname. Fun fact, It was "actually." influenced by Baek Ain, as he dubbed himself Bai Ya when conquering Black-Corner Region.
With this much firepower, Baek Ain was confident he could trample over the Hall of Souls in a few months.
Baek Ain recalled something and connected to Eden through their spiritual connection.
"Eden."
"Eh, my lord? Do you need something?" The Spirit of Clocktower responded in surprise. After all, a month has passed in the Behemoth Paradise, and Baek Ain only sent his Fire Shadow Envoys to send some precious materials, like Great Honey Milk Tree's Saplings.
Baek Ain opened his mouth and asked, "Have you finished the task I gave you?"
Eden huffed proudly and answered, "One hundred percent."
When Baek Ain took over Sage Kingdom and renamed it Behemoth Paradise, he merged several small factions and Black-Corner Region into the new major group.
Only some people(mainly trusted leaders) know about this, and Eden acted as their supervisor. The spirit of Clocktower used Black-Corner Region's intelligence gathering force and dug up every information about Misty Cloud Sect.
"We have found the remaining Misty Cloud Sect in the Central Plains."
"They have merged to the Southern Branch of Wind Lightning Pavilion."
Baek Ain blinked and laughed amusingly, "Now that's a surprising development."
"Is it my action, or has this world just changed the course for the Misty Cloud Sect(Yun Yun)."
"What about Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran?"
"Have you perhaps taken a fancy over them, My Lord?" Eden couldn't help but ask.
Baek Ain rolled his eyes and returned, "Just answer my question."
"What's the matter if I even fancy them?"
"Any woman who developed a deep relationship with you is powerful and talented. I wondered if these two could help Behemoth Paradise grow even further." Eden replied calmly.
"Lady Fei and Xian might not have told you, but they have successfully deciphered Sky God's Notes and become his half-inheritor."
"Their talents are so great, allowing both the Alchemy and Array Formation Division to grow when you are gone."
"They probably kept it a secret to give me a surprise." Baek Ain shook his head, knowing Yi Xian's playful personality.
"Anyway, what's the situation?"
Eden faked a cough and answered, "Nalan Yanran has become Core Disciple of Wind Lightning Pavilion's Southern Branch."
"As for Yun Yun... She was a bit special."
"She was favored by Flower Sect, becoming its leader for a short time before getting annexed by civil war."
"After that, she led the remaining members of Misty Cloud Sect to the Central Plains and gained another favor from Wind Lightning Pavilion, becoming vice-leader through her talents."
"She was so great that even Heaven Demon Phoenix Tribe baptized her to become their member. Her current cultivation is unknown, but many people called her Venerable Storm Lady or Fairy Yun."
"Meaning she's at least a Half-Saint Expert."
"..." Baek Ain was speechless.
Isn't this too much?
Just how many plot twists did Yun Yun go through?
"This alternative universe is something else." Baek Ain mumbled to himself.
Eden was confused and asked, "My Lord?"
Baek Ain rubbed his forehead and replied, "Good job."
"Send some Serials to the Jia Ma Empire and protect the Miteer Family."
"Okay," Eden responded quickly.
Baek Ain stopped the thought transmission and detected over a thousand people entering the Nine Serene Mountain Range. He looked at the horizon and expected Yao Ming to finish them quickly.
He pondered and said, "Gu Clan wiping the Western Branch sounds like a good enough cover for me."
"In the name of revenge, that's it."
[Host, your scheming skill increased as time passed] Alicia suddenly commented.
[I'm surprised Scheming Skill hasn't been created by your continued repentance]
"What? I'm a righteous person. After all, I'm giving Gu Clan a chance to avenge their fallen comrade. There is nothing wrong with that."
[...]
"Hehe, let's use the Gu Clan to the fullest." Baek Ain grinned at the thought of Hall of Souls' helpless yet angry response.
