Elder Cai’s mind and spirit trembled. This Divine Soul aura belonged to a youngster in the mid-Emperor Realm, yet his Divine Soul Attack was so terrifying that even he could only admit defeat! It was truly horrifying! Even a high-quality Emperor Realm Divine Thought Master could not possibly injure a high-ranking King with a Divine Soul Attack. Yet, Ling Chen was able to do so. He must have refined his Divine Soul with Divine Soul Treasures. Otherwise, it would be impossible! Refining Divine Soul treasures are extremely rare. Ling Chen actually had the fortune to obtain one; his luck is truly good! "Now, do you believe?" Ling Chen looked towards Zheng Dong. With just one glance, Zheng Dong shuddered as if he had fallen into an ice cellar. "I believe, I believe..." The words almost popped out from between his teeth. Two Divine Soul Attacks had injured his Divine Soul. More importantly, the burning pain made him wish for death. He dared not contend with Ling Chen. Ling Chen slightly smiled and said, "I am the City Lord; do you have any objections?" Zheng Dong hurriedly shook his head. Seeing this, Ling Chen gently nodded. Then, his body rose dozens of feet, looking down at the people below. "Do any of you have any objections?" Ling Chen asked aloud. "Greetings to the City Lord!" The Cultivators below bowed respectfully to Ling Chen. Within the World Prison, the most primitive law of the jungle was followed. There was no law to speak of. The one with the more powerful fist is the boss! Seeing this scene, Ao Wu was dumbfounded. They had entered at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, Ling Chen had become the City Lord of this city? It was like a wild fantasy! Ling Chen nodded in satisfaction, his gaze landed on Zheng Dong: "Zheng Dong, would you manage the city for me temporarily?" Hearing this, Zheng Dong was dumbfounded. He thought that after his position as City Lord was taken away, Ling Chen would kill him. Unexpectedly, Ling Chen still tasked him with management. "Lord Ling, I am willing!" Zheng Dong quickly bowed down. He flicked his finger, and an Elixir flew towards Zheng Dong, finally hovering in front of him. "This is an Elixir for repairing the Divine Soul, take it!" A eight-star King, Ling Chen could indeed kill. It would be very helpful for his cultivation of the Green Lotus Sword Manual. But, Ling Chen did not want to take action immediately. Because he wanted to train here a bit, perhaps it would help him comprehend the Sword Dao. Moreover, this World Prison was not merely home to a single eight-star King. Letting go of Zheng Dong, there were other eight-star Kings. Zheng Dong was the most knowledgeable about those people’s strengths. Having Zheng Dong around could save him quite a bit of time. "An Elixir for the Divine Soul?" Zheng Dong’s face was filled with ecstasy. He quickly grabbed the Elixir and took it immediately. He was not worried about Ling Chen harming him. Because with Ling Chen’s strength, there was no need to resort to such despicable methods. He was powerful enough to kill him outright. Soon, the medicinal power spread. The burning sensation in his Divine Soul was healed by a wave of cool energy. "Thank you, City Lord!" Zheng Dong quickly said respectfully. "Do your job well, and you won’t be lacking benefits!" Zheng Dong nodded vigorously. Suddenly he remembered something, shouted coldly: "Fang Jie, hurry up and return the Lord’s storage ring to him!" Hearing this, Fang Jie’s body trembled slightly. Only now did Fang Jie realize. He had stolen the new City Lord’s storage ring! "Lord, spare my life!" Fang Jie quickly knelt down, holding the storage ring in both hands, placing it in front of him. Ling Chen waved his hand indifferently. A mere 100,000 top-grade Spirit Crystals, he didn’t care at all. Fang Jie bowed in thanks again. Ling Chen looked at the crowd and said, "Today, as I become the lord of Black Water City, each of you will be rewarded with a thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals." "A thousand Spirit Crystals?" "My heavens, the City Lord is too generous, right?" All the Cultivators were going mad. Many tears of excitement welled up in their eyes. They hadn’t seen so many Spirit Crystals in a long time. Usually, having a dozen in hand, they still had to use them sparingly. The new City Lord actually rewarded a thousand at once? The crowd bowed to Ling Chen again. Zheng Dong’s face twitched as he transmitted a message: "Lord, we only have about a hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals in hand, that’s not enough to distribute to everyone." Black Water City, with over two hundred cultivators, A thousand each, that’s over two hundred thousand. Ling Chen stated lightly. Zheng Dong’s face showed disbelief. Before entering the World Prison, their Spirit Crystals had been scavenged. Having about a hundred thousand per person was already good. Ling Chen actually took out over two hundred thousand to distribute among the people. Isn’t that too wealthy and extravagant? At this moment, Fang Jie seemed to think of something. Once he recognized the master Ling Chen’s storage ring and looked inside, he nearly fainted from excitement. Because there were actually 100,000 top-grade Spirit Crystals in the storage ring! Ling Chen had said, these were all rewarded to him. A casual reward of 100,000 Spirit Crystals, that’s insanely generous! Keep in mind, Zheng Dong, the former City Lord, had only about a hundred thousand. "There, distribute these! Afterwards, bring all cultivators who understand the levels of ’Dao’ to the City Lord Mansion!" Ling Chen casually took out three hundred thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals and placed them into the storage ring, handing it to Zheng Dong. "Yes, Lord!" Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 Zheng Dong respectfully accepted. Ling Chen then headed toward the City Lord Mansion. Zheng Dong quickly signalled with his eyes to Fang Jie, who immediately understood and followed Ling Chen. Two quarters of an hour later. Zheng Dong brought fifteen cultivators to the City Lord Mansion. The original council hall had been demolished by Zheng Dong. Thus, everyone gathered in a side hall. "Greetings to the City Lord!" As everyone entered the hall, they respectfully saluted Ling Chen. A thousand top-grade Spirit Crystals completely won them over. Ling Chen nodded and said, "Gentlemen, no need to be formal, take a seat!" After expressing their thanks, everyone dared to sit down. "The reason I called you here is mainly to ask how you have mastered ’Dao’?" Seven-Star Kings, to have so many people able to master Dao, it seems this World Prison is really not simple! Keep in mind, in the outside world, generally only Seven-Star Kings and geniuses can master Dao. Like Murong Ziyi, a Seven-Star King, hasn’t reached the level of ’Dao’ yet. "Lord, I’ve been in the World Prison for the longest, let me share my views first!" "Hmm, go ahead! Everyone else too, speak freely! If anything touches me, there will be a reward of Spirit Crystals!" Zheng Dong thought for a moment, then opened his mouth and said, "Lord, you should know that after we advance to King, we can resonate with nature’s spiritual energy, a single attack can invoke nature’s spiritual energy to enhance the attack’s power." "But, in this World Prison, the Spiritual Energy is extremely thin, incomparable to the outside. Moreover, there’s a lack of Spirit Crystals here, so most Cultivators dare not waste their Spiritual Power." "So, if we want to enhance our strength and cultivate Spirit Arts regularly, it’s completely unrealistic, we can only find another way!" "Those who enter this World Prison are all above Six-Star Kings. Most have grasped six layers of Martial Arts Realm, and to elevate our strength, merging Martial Arts Realm into ’Dao’ is the most effective method."
