The three domain lords, Crimson Flame Domain Lord, Azure Mist Domain Lord, and Profound Ice Domain Lord, arrived at Blue Rain Star and waited outside the hall.
The Crimson Flame Domain Lord crossed his arms and said in a gruff voice, "I want to see who this Palace Master is!"
The Azure Mist Domain Lord toyed with the jade fan in his hand: "I heard that you've finally decided to show yourself this time?"
The Lord of Xuanbing Domain said coldly, "If he's just a guy with an empty reputation..."
The three exchanged glances, all seeing the same thought in each other's eyes: if this palace master's strength was insufficient, they would have to reconsider their treatment within the Star Palace.
In this world, strength is ultimately paramount. If it weren't for the abundant resources of the Star Palace and the fact that there was a Realm Lord or Palace Master who had never shown his face, how could they possibly be subordinate to a Universe-level being?
"My lords, the Palace Master invites you."
"A guard said respectfully."
The three men straightened their robes and strode confidently into the main hall.
Xingchen sat on the throne in the main hall of Xingchen Palace, his fingers gently tapping the armrest.
He deliberately concealed his aura, but there were still faint fluctuations of the laws of space and time flowing around him.
Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and the three domain lords walked slowly in, led by their guards.
The three of them were initially somewhat nonchalant, but the moment they stepped into the main hall!
"boom!"
An indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly descended!
That was not something deliberately released by the stars, but rather a natural pressure brought about by the difference in the level of life.
The three domain lords felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, their blood seemingly freezing.
"This...this is the Palace Master?!"
The Crimson Flame Domain Lord exclaimed inwardly, cold sweat instantly beading on his forehead.
He had met several realm lords before, but had never felt such a terrifying aura.
The Azure Mist Domain Lord's legs went weak, and he almost knelt on the ground.
He was horrified to discover that his understanding of the laws at the Domain Lord level was nothing compared to that of this Palace Master, like the difference between a firefly and the bright moon!
Even the most composed Lord of the Xuanbing Domain was in no better shape; her prized ice laws were completely frozen, and she couldn't even operate them.
The three walked cautiously to the center of the hall and bowed in unison: "Greetings, Palace Master!"
Xingchen nodded slightly: "No need for formalities."
Only after he spoke did the terrifying pressure lessen slightly.
Only then did the three domain lords dare to raise their heads and secretly peek at this mysterious palace master.
The man on the throne was dressed in white, his face incredibly young, but his eyes seemed to contain an endless starry sky, making it impossible for anyone to look directly at him.
Most terrifyingly, they vaguely sensed that this palace master possessed terrifying energy comparable to that of a star!
"I've heard you have some complaints about me, the palace master?"
Xingchen asked with a half-smile.
The three were immediately terrified, and the Crimson Flame Domain Lord hurriedly explained, "No, no! Your subordinate has absolutely no disloyalty to the Palace Master!"
"is it?"
Xingchen gently raised her hand, and a ray of starlight gathered in her palm.
"Then why have I heard that some people complain that the Star Palace is not living up to its name?"
This wisp of starlight, though seemingly faint, sent chills down the spines of the three domain lords. They could sense that the power contained within it was enough to easily annihilate them!
Lord Xuanbing hurriedly knelt down: "Palace Master, please understand! Those are all outsiders sowing discord! We have benefited greatly from the Star Palace, how could we have any disloyal intentions?"
Xingchen put away the starlight and nodded in satisfaction: "Very good. Since you have joined the Star Palace and are using the resources of my Star Palace, you must abide by the rules of the Star Palace."
He looked at Elena and said, "If anyone disobeys in the future, just expel them."
Chapter 44 The Eighth Extraterrestrial Battlefield, Hundred Soul Crystals
"Yes, Palace Master."
Elena responded respectfully, a hint of a smile flashing in her eyes. She knew that after this incident, these three domain lords would never dare to harbor any disloyal thoughts again.
Xingchen inquired about some matters concerning the Star Palace, then dismissed the three.
After they left, Elena couldn't help but laugh and said, "You really scared them with that move."
"We need to establish our authority."
Xingchen shook his head.
"I am about to embark on a long journey and cannot leave any potential problems for you."
Elena's expression darkened for a moment, but she quickly rallied: "Don't worry, I will manage the Star Palace well."
That night, Xingchen stood alone on the observatory, gazing at the brilliant starry sky.
Tomorrow he will set off for the battlefield beyond the borders, but at this moment, he has an extra concern in his heart: this foundation, and his followers.
The next day, Xingchen prepared to leave.
Before leaving, he called Elena over.
He took out an antique-looking world ring and handed it to Elena.
"The resources here are enough for the Star Palace to operate for a long time."
The sound of the stars was exceptionally clear in the night.
"More importantly, it can help you break through to the Domain Lord level."
Elena took the ring, scanned it with her divine sense, and immediately gasped.
The ring contained not only mountains of cosmic crystals, but also various rare cultivation resources, and even secret techniques!
"My lord, this is far too valuable..."
Elena's voice trembled slightly.
Xingchen shook his head: "Power is important, but personal strength is fundamental. During my absence, you must focus on cultivation. I don't want you to turn into a handful of dust in 100,000 years."
He paused, his tone becoming serious: "Remember, if you encounter any insurmountable danger, contact me immediately through the virtual universe."
Elena nodded solemnly and carefully put the ring away.
Xingchen's gaze swept over the three domain lords standing respectfully beside him, and he slowly spoke: "During my absence, you must do your best to assist Elena."
The three domain lords bowed and agreed, but there was still some hesitation in their eyes.
Seeing this, Xingchen smiled slightly: "If your performance satisfies me..."
He paused deliberately, and the three domain lords involuntarily held their breath.
"When I return, I will grant you the opportunity to break through to the realm lord level."
These words struck the three of them like a thunderbolt.
Breaking through to the Realm Master level! That's breaking through to the Realm Master level!
An existence that can command the wind and rain even in a medium-sized universe!
The three of them knelt down almost simultaneously and shouted excitedly!
"We swear to serve the Palace Master to the death!"
Xingchen nodded in satisfaction.
"Elena, the Star Palace is now in your hands."
Elena bowed deeply: "I will certainly live up to your expectations, sir."
Xingchen looked around at everyone one last time before boarding the spaceship.
"Congratulations, Palace Master!"
The three domain lords shouted in unison, their voices now devoid of any disrespect, filled only with heartfelt reverence and anticipation.
Elena stood alone on the observatory, gazing at the starry sky in silence for a long time.
She knew that their next meeting might be a world apart. But at this moment, she felt no trepidation, only unwavering faith.
"One day, I will make the Star Palace the most dazzling star in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom."
She whispered to herself.
"I will... wait for you to come back."
……
On a spaceship in the dark universe.
Xingchen sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Nebula, help me buy a secret technique for enslavement. As for the level... well, that depends on how much money I have left. You can decide what to buy."
"Yes, master, it has been purchased for you."
After much deliberation, he finally decided that it was necessary to learn a secret technique for enslavement, not for anything else but for the purpose of teleporting to a divine kingdom and expanding his power.
That's right, it's all for the Star Palace. If his faction doesn't even have a Marquis in charge, wouldn't that be too embarrassing for him?
He was too embarrassed to say it when he went out.
Needless to say, teleportation to the divine realm is too time-consuming.
……
Finally, after months of travel, Xingchen arrived at the extraterrestrial battlefield and obtained the secret technique of soul enslavement.
Hundred Soul Crystal
The requirement is a soul amplitude of 100. Each doubling of the soul amplitude can add one slave slot. There are three levels of Hundred Soul Crystals: 10 Soul, 50 Soul, and 100 Soul!
It also included cultivation methods.
For now, it's enough for him to reach the first level of the secret technique. Being able to control ten slaves is enough. There will naturally be better secret techniques waiting for him later, such as the Myriad Hearts Soul Control Secret Technique.
