A few people discussed fruitlessly; after all, this is the new pass chief's first command. They couldn't oppose too much and had to comply, but in their view, the new pass chief might face an unyielding refusal this time. The supplies from the Military Supplies Department are not easy to apply for, even when there is no war in the past, the applied supplies always came with a discount, let alone now when battles are tense everywhere. This might be good as it would allow the new pass chief to quickly adapt to the style of the Military Supplies Department and not act recklessly in the future. It's good to be youthful and vigorous, but ultimately it must conform to the larger trend. Therefore, they hurriedly drafted another list, reported it to Lu Ye, and through Lu Ye's submission, conveyed it to Haotian City's Military Supplies Department. Next is to wait. Even if the supplies come quickly, it still requires some time. In the past, just the approval process alone required a few days' process. The folks at the Military Supplies Department are known for being stingy as iron roosters, wishing all supplies could be kept in the vault instead of being leaked. In the inner hall of Lu Ye's palace, a golden vortex slowly rotated, Yiyi and Amber were immersed in the rich and pure spirit force, practicing cultivation. In the two years Lu Ye was not around, their cultivation relied entirely on Yiyi's battle merits to obtain, occasionally receiving some aid from the sect master to steadily improve their strength. Now that Lu Ye has returned, there's no worry about the gold-hued spirit fortune stick anymore. Lu Ye's current battle merits are so abundant that he can't use them all, allowing them to constantly maintain with the gold-hued spirit fortune stick, enabling one spirit and one tiger to cultivate freely and enhance themselves. From the very beginning, Yiyi and Amber have been inseparable from him, and now as his cultivation rises easily, the disparity in strength grows, so Yiyi and Amber's cultivation must be enhanced quickly, otherwise, one day, one spirit and one tiger will be unable to keep up with his progress. Lu Ye was not cultivating, but instead was arranging the teleportation array on the side. Meanwhile, over at Dark Moon Forest Pass, the doppelganger is doing the same task. Having not arranged a teleportation array for a long time, Lu Ye was uncertain as to the distance his current cultivation could connect. If it couldn't reach a thousand miles, then this arrangement would be ineffective, as the connection between the two arrays would not link and naturally cannot teleport. If it can reach, many things can become simpler in the future. Not to mention, he also has tasks to refine Explosive Fire Spirit Stones and As-Close-As-Siblings array discs. The efficiency of refining by the true self alone cannot compare to the efficiency when both the true self and doppelganger are involved. If so, the efficiency of refining Explosive Fire Spirit Stones and array discs can be multiplied, and when his realm ascends in the future, there will be no need to find a secret meeting place outdoors, saving some traveling time, without the fear of being secretly followed and ambushed by those with malicious intent. Just like days ago, if the teleportation array had been used to send the doppelganger directly to the true self's location, Liew Yuemei wouldn't have stumbled upon his whereabouts, nor would she have discovered the secret of the true self's doppelganger. Only, at that time, Lu Ye didn't consider this, coupled with re-condensing the doppelganger being not too complex... resulting in Liew Yuemei covertly following, sparking subsequent incidents. Despite not arranging a teleportation array for a long time, the skill wasn't rusty. Only moments later, the two arrays each took shape. If it were arranged by two different cultivators, it would naturally not link, but strictly speaking, the true self and the doppelganger are the same person, so the two arrays arranged don't have this concern. Now it's just looking to see if the distance presents a problem. The true self here activated the array's power, mental consciousness spread, accompanied by the array's humming, resonating afar, the other array a thousand miles away reacted similarly. And it feels like the distance isn't at its maximum. In other words, with his current Divine Sea Level 2 cultivation, the arranged teleportation array can span distances greater than a thousand miles. How far the exact limit is, that requires some verification. Lu Ye's true self stood in the array, spirit force urged, infusing into the array, with spatial distortion, instantly vanished. Once vision restored, he was already in the residence of the Dark Moon Forest Pass doppelganger. He pushed open the door, leisurely walked out, wandered through the Dark Moon Forest Pass, where post-battle aftermath was busy, although Lin Yue was personally overseeing, making the doppelganger seem idle. Following Lin Yue's aura, he flew to a section of the city wall, Lin Yue turned her head, smiling gently: "Junior Brother Taibai." Lu Ye nodded and stood by her side, casually saying: "How's Senior Sister Lin's injury?" During the Insect Plague's attack, Lin Yue was injured, but seeing her current state, it should be no major concern. "Just a minor wound." Lin Yue replied, "Junior Brother should rest well after exhausting battles, why run out here?" After the doppelganger teamed with the true self to slay a large insect a few days ago, Lin Yue clearly cherished the doppelganger more. Note from the editor: Always check * for corrections. She initially valued Li Taibai, viewing him as comparable to Lu Yiye, now elevated to capable of rivaling Feng Wujiang, but before not having a clear grasp of the doppelganger's strength. Witnessing that battle, she truly realized Li Taibai's mighty foundation. That's even with her injuries, the myriad tasks at the mountain pass, she didn't have the doppelganger step out, because in her view, Li Taibai is at a critical time for self-advancement, shouldn't be disturbed by trivial matters. The stronger Li Taibai's strength, the firmer the pass defense, within mere months Li Taibai can ascend one level realm, in years to come, might surpass her in cultivation. A person like him is destined for great achievements, treating him better now will reap more benefits in the future. "Bored to the extreme, came out to take a look. Is there anything that needs my help?" Lu Ye asked. "No need, Junior Brother, go cultivate. I'll handle things here at the mountain pass." Lu Ye departed accordingly. Returning to his residence, he left some fire spirit stones and materials for crafting array discs for his doppelganger. Through the teleportation array, he returned to Jinglan Lake Pass. Sitting cross-legged, he began cultivating while taking out an item. It was the Tyrannical Saber Technique lineage obtained from the Soaring Dragon World. Initially, Lu Ye handed this item to his third senior brother, Xiao Xinghe, for the comprehension of the Tyrannical Saber Technique. A few days ago, Lu Ye traveled to Red River City, partly to meet with the members of Team D-9 and partly to retrieve this item. The Tyrannical Saber Technique lineage consists of three saber skills. Lu Ye comprehended the first style, Myriad Stars, during his Cloud River Realm days, and in the True Lake Realm, he comprehended the second style, Crescent Moon. But no matter what, he couldn't discern the third style, suspecting back then that it's a skill only qualified for comprehension at the Divine Sea Realm. Now having advanced to the Divine Sea, he naturally should comprehend this final saber skill. Immersing his mind within, in an instant, it was as if he was within the stellar space. Unlike the previous two times, this time there were no silhouettes practicing saber skills; instead, a brilliant big sun blinding his eyes. But upon careful observation, Lu Ye was startled to find that it was not a big sun but a convergence of fierce saber light. The big sun suddenly bloomed like a lotus, sweeping across the surroundings. The unparalleled sharp saber intent swept in, and Lu Ye's immersed mind melted away like snow under the glaring sun. Lu Ye opened his eyes, many insights burgeoning in his mind. On a section of the city wall at Jinglan Lake Pass, Yooi Huang was conducting his daily inspection. After days of aftermath handling, the mountain pass showed no traces of the recent great battle, although many defensive works still needed material repairs, which couldn't be rushed. As the end approached, he suddenly sensed something, turning to look in a direction. He saw two streaks of flowing light rapidly approaching, one of which unmistakably carried the aura of Divine Sea Level 5. Yooi Huang quickly focused his vision, soon realizing who was arriving. Such speed! With that thought in mind, he soared up to greet them. In a moment, the two streaks arrived before him, revealing two figures, one of them a familiar face, the Manager Foo Yao from the Military Supplies Department, the other, however, was unfamiliar. Though Foo Yao had only the cultivation of True Lake Level 8, he bore the heavy responsibility of transporting materials to various mountain passes. In such times, having a Divine Sea Realm accompanying as a guard wasn't unusual. But he wondered from which department this Divine Sea Realm had been reassigned. "Manager Foo." Yooi Huang clasped his fists in respect. Although his cultivation level was a tier higher, those from the Military Supplies Department were always esteemed, not to be slighted. Foo Yao nodded slightly, smiling, "Ah, Brother Yooi, it's been a while." Yooi Huang was surprised, as Manager Foo had never given him a friendly face during his previous material transportation visits. This wasn't due to individual character, but the natural disposition of the Military Supplies Department; anyone wishing to obtain anything from them had to endure coldness. It was just part of the job, not much to blame. Yet today, Foo was greeting him with a smile. Has the sun risen from the west? "Manager Foo, such a weary journey, you must be tired." Yooi Huang cautiously said, then glanced at the Divine Sea Level 5 beside him, "And this lord is…?" Foo Yao explained, "Lord Liu has been reassigned from the provincial guard to accompany me in transporting materials." Yooi Huang saluted again, but the Liu-named Divine Sea merely nodded slightly, without speaking. "Where is Pass Chief Lu? I don't see him around." Foo Yao inquired. Yooi Huang inwardly panicked, having forgotten to notify his Pass Chief of the Military Supplies Department's arrival. By custom and logic, the Pass Chief should welcome them to foster a good relationship, making future material requests easier. Quickly thinking, he explained, "The Lord Mountain Pass Chief was exhausted from a recent fierce battle and has been resting for days. Please, this way inside, I'll notify the Chief right away." Foo Yao maintained his smile, "Indeed, that's exhausting. I'll trouble Brother Yooi to announce us." Yooi Huang marveled inwardly, feeling Foo Yao's attitude today was unusually pleasant, almost too kind. Uncertain where the problem lay, he could only lead them inside before heading to Lu Ye's residence. Immersed in comprehending the third style of the Tyrannical Saber, Lu Ye sensed the restriction being triggered. He rose and opened the door, seeing Yooi Huang standing outside, and asked, "Is there a battle?" Instinctively thinking it was another Insect Race attack. Yooi Huang responded, "Not a battle, someone from the Military Supplies Department has arrived."
