The power of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter, Ye Zhen had long witnessed.
Especially when the cultivation of the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter reaches the Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm or breaks through to First Stage of Realm King Realm, they will advance to become a Heavenly Patrol Divine General.
The Heavenly Patrol Divine General has an overwhelming advantage against martial artists of the same rank, and even against those with a cultivation several realms stronger, they not only pose a threat but can also retreat calmly.
Thus, with a little more freedom this time, Ye Zhen plans to train a contingent of Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunter.
If Ye Zhen’s ranks exceed ten Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals, it would be an invisible intimidation to anyone.
Under regular circumstances, training a Heavenly Patrol Divine General is extremely difficult.
Among one hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, ultimately only one or two can become Heavenly Patrol Divine Generals.
This time, Ye Zhen plans to train a hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters. Normally, if one of them appears, it would be considered fortunate.
However, with the Mirage Dragon Pearl’s temporal power and the Spirit Void Fruit, Ye Zhen can leverage the flawed Heavenly Dao of the True Profound Continent for a distinct comparison and contemplation of Dao Pattern Laws, increasing the probability tenfold or even a hundredfold.
But deploying these resources means Ye Zhen’s biggest secret may be partially revealed to these Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters.
If the choice of personnel has issues, it could bring endless trouble to Ye Zhen.
Hence, Ye Zhen entrusted the selection issue two years ago.
He tasked Fengg Jiumo, the Heavenly Patrol Divine General, and Spirit Scout Niu Er to screen and select loyal, spotless backgrounds, those that have no problems in origin among the Heavenly Patrol Guards and Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters.
In the Heavenly Patrol Department, when one breaks through to the Divine Communication Realm and has some small success in spatial cultivation technique, they are called Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters.
And those suitable for cultivating spatial divine power technique but not yet successful or haven’t reached the Divine Communication Realm are all called Heavenly Patrol Guards.
Ye Zhen’s Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy has been expanding for over five years, and the number of Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters has grown from the original sixty to just over one hundred fifty.
The elite level, namely the Dark Palace Realm Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, only increased from ten to eleven.
Yet, the number of Heavenly Patrol Guards in rotation training under the Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy is as high as five thousand.
With five thousand trained Heavenly Patrol Guards as a base, Ye Zhen has ample selection opportunities.
Yet these individuals must be not only spotless and without any origin flaws but also willing without much attachment.
Initially, Fengg Jiumo and Niu Er selected over two hundred candidates, but just as candidates, without Ye Zhen’s final decision, these individuals were consistently observed, screened, and then exclusions were made.
After two years, Fengg Jiumo and Niu Er excluded a third based on various indications.
Of course, not saying that the excluded third definitely had issues.
However, Ye Zhen’s requirements are exceedingly exacting, even if it’s unclear parental origins or mysterious disappearances without specific whereabouts, or previously mysterious contacts with unknown personnel, all are excluded.
Simply put, it’s finding fault in the tiniest details.
After more than two years of selection, less than one hundred forty remained.
Among that hundred forty plus, based on cultivation talent, age, and disposition, ultimately one hundred were selected.
Actually, according to Ye Zhen, maintaining subordinates’ loyalty is simple.
Instilling fear and gratitude, combining grace and might is the true path to loyalty.
However, for these one hundred, Ye Zhen doesn’t intend to use such methods, aiming to employ Soul-locking Technique unconditionally.
Otherwise, when they truly reach the breakthrough bottleneck, Ye Zhen would not dare to bring them to the True Profound Continent to leverage its flawed Heavenly Dao for breakthroughs.
"Master, all candidates for the special mission have been brought here, with ninety-seven from Heavenly Patrol Guards and only three from Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters." Within the Earl of North Sea’s Mansion’s underground palace, the Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo reported back.
"Has everything been explained?"
"In response, everything has been explained. One-time settlement fees have been paid in advance, and annual family support funds are also arranged."
"Alright then, have them come in one by one."
With Ye Zhen’s current Primordial Spirit Power, the speed to perform Soul-locking Technique on these Dao Entrance Realm Heavenly Patrol Guards is extremely fast.
Basically, less than one hundred breaths per person.
Each time Ye Zhen performed the Soul-locking Technique on a Heavenly Patrol officer, he sent them directly into the Mirage Dragon Pearl; awaiting them is a long period of arduous cultivation.
To emerge from the Mirage Dragon Pearl, their cultivation must at least break through to the Dark Palace Realm to become elite level Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters.
After dealing with these one hundred Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters, the Heavenly Patrol Divine General brought in one hundred selected soldiers from various military camps one after another.
These one hundred soldiers, besides meeting the Heavenly Patrol Divine Hunters’ requirements of spotless backgrounds and loyalty, had two additional requirements.
One, they must have held a military post in various camps, at least as low-level officers like squad leaders. Ye Zhen’s carefully nurtured hundred soldiers are not purely for slaughtering.
Ye Zhen intends for these hundred carefully nurtured soldiers to become the backbone, high-level officers, or even Commanders of his elite troops.
So Ye Zhen’s second requirement is that these hundred soldiers must have a certain cultural level.
Half a day later, Ye Zhen stepped out of the underground palace’s secret chamber, letting out a long breath.
A multitude of growth seeds have been planted, just waiting for time to catalyze and harvest.
Looking at Fengg Jiumo and Niu Er waiting by the door, he lightly coughed.
"From this moment on, destroy all archives of these two hundred individuals. Their records can only exist in your minds, with absolutely no leakage, understood?"
"We understand." Niu Er and Fengg Jiumo nodded simultaneously.
Ye Zhen slowly nodded, casually tossing out two storage rings, "Work well. I hope when I return, both your cultivations have broken through again.
Especially you, Niu Er, I hope to see Realm King Realm Niu Er upon my return, not Peak of Ninth Stage Dark Palace Realm Niu Er."
"Understood! Your orders." Niu Er nodded slowly, albeit with difficulty, breaking through to Realm King Realm isn’t that easy.
But as Niu Er’s Divine Sense entered the storage ring, his expression turned ecstatic.
Spirit Void Fruit!
Inside the storage ring are ten Spirit Void Fruits!
These Spirit Void Fruits are great aids for breaking through bottlenecks, and now the market is priced steeply day by day, and even with Spirit Stones, they’re hard to buy.
Even Master Xuanzhi in Dao Realm willingly bowed before Ye Zhen for the Spirit Void Fruit.
Yet Ye Zhen remarkably rewarded him with ten.
Suddenly, Niu Er felt that being sent to Ye Zhen back then, and unfortunate souls placed under Divine Soul Restriction, was not merely bad luck but, indeed, an opportunity.
Who would reward their subordinates with such Heaven and Earth treasures like Spirit Void Fruit?
Not even the various captains could boast such grandeur, right?
Exchanging glances with Heavenly Patrol Divine General Fengg Jiumo, Niu Er and Fengg Jiumo bowed as Ye Zhen walked away.
Half a day later, having arranged all matters, Ye Zhen quietly left the Earl of North Sea’s Mansion and dove into a mighty river next to North Sea County.
Shortly after, the Great Saint of Jinghai engaged in arduous cultivation inside the Mirage Dragon Pearl was summoned by Ye Zhen, and with a single gulp, Ye Zhen swallowed him, transforming underwater into a swift as lightning current, darting away like a waterborne Flood Dragon.
Since a year ago when the Heavenly Temple Shahe City Branch Temple was slaughtered, Heavenly Temple summoned Ye Zhen to reluctantly return for a debrief in Luoyi.
During this year, Ye Zhen has been entangled in various affairs, never having peaceful days.
However, after Xio Qiangu’s provocation and Ye Zhen’s fierce retaliation, Ye Zhen’s North Sea County and Second Route Wind Patrol Envoy are set to enter a comparatively stable development phase.
And Ye Zhen finally has time to go to Five Immortals Island to meet the mysterious person who holds the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects that can replenish origin power.
Whether the Little Demon can awaken depends on this visit!
