Chapter 664: The Mission Arrives

Feeling the terrifying power of the Divine Demon Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation,

Zhang Yuhe's excited mood could not calm down for a long time.

It was simply too strong.

With this Divine Ability,

there would never be a situation of weak offense in the future.

Even a Chaos Beast with tyrannical defense probably couldn't block a single strike from the Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation.

"Let's go back first and upgrade my natal celestial sword to a True Divine Artifact before anything else."

Zhang Yuhe slashed with his right hand.

A two-meter-square particle vortex slowly appeared in the Void Realm.

He took a step forward and quickly returned to Yitian Manor.

Standing on the cultivation platform,

Zhang Yuhe took out his identity token and looked at the information in the Sect's treasury.

He couldn't help but frown slightly.

Wanting to upgrade his natal celestial sword to the level of a True Divine Artifact required consuming a massive amount of Materials.

Furthermore, basically none of these Materials were cheap.

The problem was,

it wasn't just a matter of Zhang Yuhe needing to upgrade a single set of natal celestial swords.

Those nine Clones of his were still empty-handed right now.

Shouldn't he get a complete set of Nine Heavens Primordial Swords and arrange them for all of them?

Zhang Yuhe didn't plan to actually let the Clones stay in Yitian Manor to Cultivate.

This was a meaningless thing to do.

What if Donghua Palace encountered danger?

Wouldn't that cause everyone to be wiped out in one fell swoop?

Zhang Yuhe planned,

after he arranged a set of natal divine swords for all those Clones,

that he would immediately send them out.

The further apart they were scattered across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths of the Chaos Sea, the better.

Anyway, when a fight was necessary,

the Clones could also immediately teleport and gather together.

During normal times,

it was still better to scatter as much as possible.

Highlighting safety above all else.

Zhang Yuhe put away his identity token and quickly made a trip to the Sect's treasury.

When he came back,

that original ten thousand contribution points had basically bottomed out.

"No matter how many Sect contributions there are, they can't withstand being spent."

Looking at the identity token, which only had a few dozen contribution points left,

Zhang Yuhe couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless.

After assisting Duan Changqing in killing He Rufeng back then, God King Yuan He had rewarded him with ten thousand Sect contributions.

He originally thought this was a huge sum of money,

and that it might not even be spent out after tens of billions of years.

However,

now, just to prepare the Materials needed to refine the natal divine swords,

they were actually completely exhausted.

Of course,

spending the contribution points was completely worth it.

If Zhang Yuhe weren't a Disciple of Donghua Palace,

and wanted to collect so many Materials by himself in the outside world,

he wouldn't even know when he would finish gathering them.

Nine Clones each with a set of natal divine swords meant eighty-one True Divine Artifacts.

Coupled with his own natal celestial sword needing to ascend to a True Divine Artifact,

gathering so many Divine Artifact Materials really wasn't that easy.

Relying on a major force was truly convenient.

Carrying the Materials, Zhang Yuhe walked to the adjacent Artifact Refining Room and sat cross-legged in silence.

Refining a full ten sets of natal divine swords would probably take quite a bit of time.

At this moment, among his nine Clones, eight were scattered all over Yitian Manor, quietly Cultivating.

As for the other Clone, carrying the identity token, it came to the Dao Repository Hall.

Zhang Yuhe wanted to understand as much as possible about the situation of the Chaos Sea,

and for the time being, he could only start from the Dao Repository Hall.

Read more books.

Donghua Palace's vast collection of books contained all kinds of information.

As long as he skimmed through them roughly,

he wouldn't be a stranger to the Chaos Sea anymore.

The true body sat cross-legged in the Artifact Refining Room, and the nine Clones each went about their business.

About one hundred thousand years passed.

Zhang Yuhe slowly walked out of the Artifact Refining Room.

Seeing him wave his right hand,

nine divine swords flashed and appeared.

The divine swords circulated slowly, emitting a faint Spiritual Pressure.

"It's finally done."

Looking at the divine swords surrounding his body, a faint smile couldn't help but appear on Zhang Yuhe's face.

After the natal divine swords advanced to the True Divine Artifact level, their power underwent a qualitative change.

If he were to deploy the Divine Demon Heaven-Slaying Sword Formation again, who knew how terrifying its might would be?

After a short while,

Zhang Yuhe stood tall on the cultivation platform, silently raising his head to look at the sky.

He saw particle vortices slowly appearing above Yitian Manor.

The nine Clones soared into the air one by one and quickly vanished without a trace.

The huge Yitian Manor was left with only him alone again,

as if those nine Clones had never appeared at all.

Zhang Yuhe had these Clones separate and head to various places in the Chaos Sea.

Each of them would find a secluded place and stay quietly to Cultivate.

He didn't intend to let these Clones go out for adventure and tempering.

There was no need.

In Zhang Yuhe's mind,

there was never any such thing as adventure and tempering.

He only needed to Cultivate quietly.

To him,

Cultivation was always a matter of course, and there was completely no need to toss and turn.

There was no need to forcibly add difficulty for himself.

Time slowly passed.

A million years later,

Zhang Yuhe, sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform, suddenly had a slight shift in his expression.

An identity token quickly appeared in his hand.

After casting a hand formula,

God King Yuan He's voice faintly came out from the token.

"Zhang Yuhe, come over for a moment."

"Yes, Palace Master."

Zhang Yuhe put away the identity token and slowly stood up.

He knew that

the mission had arrived.

According to what Duan Changqing had said before,

after breaking through to the True God Realm, Donghua Palace Disciples would be sent to various places to take on Guardian Envoy missions.

"Having Cultivated peacefully in Donghua Palace for tens of millions of years, it's finally my turn to do something for the Sect."

Zhang Yuhe muttered silently in his heart.

He didn't have any repulsion toward the Guardian Envoy missions of Donghua Palace.

As a Sect Disciple, one naturally had to shoulder one's own responsibilities.

This was the same in any faction.

Back then in the Yu Fan Heaven Dao Sheng Sect,

when Zhang Yuhe was at the Soul Transformation Realm, he even served as the Guardian Envoy of Yunzhong.

"I wonder where Palace Master Yuan He will arrange for me to guard."

"Forget it, why think so much? Just go over and take a look to find out."

Zhang Yuhe soared into the air and quickly flew toward Yuanhe Palace.

After a short while,

he arrived outside a magnificent palace.

Stepping into the main hall,

and looking at the old man in green sitting on the upper seat,

Zhang Yuhe respectfully shouted,

"Disciple Zhang Yuhe greets the Palace Master."

God King Yuan He slowly stood up, looked at Zhang Yuhe, and asked with a smile,

"How has your Cultivation been recently? Your Realm should be stabilized already."

Zhang Yuhe gently nodded.

"Thank you for your concern, Palace Master. After a million years of Cultivation, the Realm has long since stabilized."

Hearing this,

a faint smile couldn't help but emerge on God King Yuan He's face.

He believed that

Zhang Yuhe knew the intention behind his asking this.

It was no secret that Donghua Palace Disciples needed to execute Guardian Envoy missions after advancing to the True God Realm.

This was not a secret.

But not all True God Disciples would willingly accept the mission.

Some Disciples, after advancing to the True God Realm,

would find all kinds of excuses to shirk it.

For example, saying they had just broken through and their Cultivation Realm had not yet stabilized,

or that their new Divine Ability hadn't been fully Cultivated yet and they needed to spend time pondering it more,

making it temporarily inconvenient to execute the mission.

and so on.

There were thousands of reasons,

but in reality, they just didn't want to go out.

Going out to serve as a Guardian Envoy—how could it compare to the freedom within the Sect?

Donghua Palace had quite a few enemies.

Whether it was the Extra-territorial Evil God or the powerful Tianyang Sect, they were all mortal enemies.

Moreover, the aristocratic clans scattered everywhere were no pushovers either.

Who knows when they might secretly trip someone up.

Although Donghua Palace Guardian Envoys held high positions and great power everywhere,

all of this was completely related to one's own strength.

If strength was insufficient,

the local aristocratic clans wouldn't pay any attention to you at all.

Even things like colluding with external enemies to assassinate Donghua Palace Guardian Envoys occasionally happened.

Otherwise,

how could Donghua Palace, having been passed down for countless epochs, only have around ten thousand True God Disciples left?

Because many True God Disciples, while out serving as guardians,

fell due to various accidents.

The Chaos Sea was vast, and naturally there would be many people willing to take risks out of desperation.

Even if they would face iron-fist suppression from Donghua Palace afterwards, there would still be people taking desperate risks.

It was precisely because of this

that Donghua Palace Disciples going out to serve as Guardian Envoys was actually a relatively high-risk mission.

It was completely normal for True God Disciples to occasionally be unwilling to shoulder such a mission.

For these people, God King Yuan He would never force them.

Without the heart of a powerhouse capable of suppressing everything, these people were destined not to go far.

He didn't need to pay attention to them anymore.

But Zhang Yuhe was clearly different.

Facing the upcoming Guardian Envoy mission,

Zhang Yuhe's expression was calm, and he had completely no resistant emotions.

This was the true backbone of Donghua Palace.

Great waves wash away the sand;

only those who could remain were the elites.

And Zhang Yuhe was precisely such a person.

Thinking of this,

a faint smile couldn't help but emerge on God King Yuan He's face.
