Time flew by, and three months had passed.
Over the course of more than three months, the six hundred thousand people who had come from the Star Boundary gradually became accustomed to the Void Territory. Under Yue He and Bian Yuqing's careful arrangements, these six hundred thousand were dispersed throughout the Void Territory, each taking up their respective roles.
At Bian Yuqing's suggestion, the Void Territory had now established several halls: the Pill Hall, the Artifact Hall, the Formation Hall, the Scripture Hall, the Martial Hall, the Sacred Spirit Hall, and so on.
Among them, the Pill Hall was led by Great Emperor Marvelous Pill as its Hall Master. He had entered the Dao through alchemy, condensing his own Dao Seal, and his accomplishments in the art of alchemy had long since reached the limits of the Star Boundary. His refining skills were divine and supreme, having reached the absolute pinnacle.
If the Void Territory wanted to develop, relying solely on existing reserves was certainly not viable. Most of the resources Yang Kai had obtained from the Grand Ancient Ruins Plane had been spent on the Nine Heavens Grand Formation. Now, even though there were some remnants, they weren't much. Adding in what had been obtained from the Seven Arts Land's hidden vault, and the compensation previously paid by the Flying Flower Barge, it likely wouldn't last long. The cultivation bases of the various Great Emperors had already reached their limits, and they urgently needed advancement—but when they cultivated, which of them didn't require fifth-grade or higher resources?
Any single fifth-grade resource was calculated in millions of Open Heaven Pills, and that was only fifth-grade. Perhaps the Great Emperors needed even more than fifth-grade—possibly sixth-grade or even higher! If that were truly the case, the required expenditure would be even more staggering.
This meant the Void Territory needed means of generating income.
The Void Territory had just been established—no connections, no channels. What means of income could it possibly have? Fortunately, the Seven Arts Land had left behind a decent foundation. Those seven orchards were now the Void Territory's greatest asset. The seven types of spirit fruits were one of the main ingredients for refining Open Heaven Pills. If they could obtain the recipe for Open Heaven Pills, then with Great Emperor Marvelous Pill's foundation in the Dao of Alchemy, refining them would certainly not be an issue. As long as they could continuously produce Open Heaven Pills, the disciples' cultivation wouldn't be so strained going forward.
Therefore, for the current Void Territory, the development of the Pill Hall was the top priority—and the catalyst for its rise.
The Artifact Hall was headed by Hou Yu as its Hall Master. Though her cultivation wasn't particularly high—currently only at the second level of the Emperor Venerable realm—in the Dao of Artifact Refining, no one in the entire Void Territory could surpass her. Back in the Star Boundary, the name of Master Monkey was renowned across all four domains, and many warriors took pride in possessing an artifact she had personally crafted. If not for Nanmen Dajun's recommendation, Yang Kai would never have been able to recruit her.
Previously in the Star Boundary, Hou Yu had crafted many exquisite artifacts for the Lingxiao Pavilion, which had played a tremendous role in the war between the two worlds.
The Formation Hall's master was naturally Nanmen Dajun. He had hardly had a moment's rest these past days. Ever since arriving at the Void Territory, he had been following closely behind Master Wuliang. He was well-versed in formations and obsessed with them. The Star Boundary, that bounded cosmos, had held him back—and after arriving at the Void Territory and witnessing the wonders of the Nine Heavens Grand Formation, he was instantly captivated beyond recovery.
He possessed extraordinary foundation and comprehension in the Dao of Formations; otherwise, he would never have achieved what he had today.
For three months straight, he had served as Master Wuliang's assistant, humbly regarding himself as a disciple, working diligently and tirelessly.
Master Wuliang had initially looked down somewhat on these formation masters who had ascended from the bounded cosmos. However, after spending some time with Nanmen Dajun, he was astonished to discover that this man possessed extraordinary intuition and comprehension in the Dao of Formations. Nanmen Dajun's attainment was indeed inferior to his own, but that was due to the difference in their environments of growth. If he had been placed in a world like the Star Boundary, Master Wuliang admitted to himself that he might not have achieved as much as Nanmen Dajun.
Grateful to Yang Kai for providing him the opportunity to construct the Nine Heavens Grand Formation—fulfilling a lifelong wish—Master Wuliang held nothing back, intentionally seeking to mentor Nanmen Dajun.
One was eager to learn, the other willing to teach. Over the course of three months, with the Nine Heavens Grand Formation as his foundation, Nanmen Dajun frantically absorbed the profound mysteries of formation arts beyond this cosmos. His growth was immense.
The Scripture Hall existed as the place to store numerous technique manuals and texts. Whether in the Star Boundary or beyond this cosmos, Yang Kai had killed quite a few people. Especially within the Grand Ancient Ruins Plane, where he had obtained many spoils of war—among which were naturally many secret techniques and cultivation methods. These things were of no use to Yang Kai himself, but he had kept them all. Now stored in the Scripture Hall, they were available for the disciples to borrow and study.
For the Martial Hall's master, Yang Kai entrusted the position to Lu Xue. After all, she was a fifth-grade Open Heaven cultivator, and she had the qualifications for it. On this matter, the various Great Emperors had no objections.
However, among the six hundred thousand who had come from the Star Boundary, most had relatively shallow foundations. Therefore, in addition to teaching the basics of martial arts beyond this cosmos, the various Great Emperors and Pseudo-Emperors would occasionally hold lectures, imparting the matters disciples should pay attention to during cultivation as well as useful techniques.
In the Star Boundary, hearing the teachings of a Great Emperor was essentially an impossible feat. Nor did any Great Emperor have the leisure to do such things—at most, they would take on a few disciples and teach them carefully. But having come beyond this cosmos, the Great Emperors had set aside their pride and made contributions to the Void Territory's development.
The cultivation experience of Great Emperors was incredibly precious—it was exactly what these six hundred thousand people needed. Therefore, every time the Great Emperors held lectures, the venues were packed to capacity.
Over the course of three months, countless warriors broke through their own limitations, their strength greatly enhanced.
