I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 671 This in itself is an immense blessing! (Please subscribe and vote with monthly tickets)
The ceiling above the cave is not rock, but a real sky with the sun, moon and stars alternating. However, the sun, moon and stars seem to be formed from the purest spiritual energy, and the light they radiate carries the vitality to nourish all things.

Beneath their feet stretched rolling mountains and valleys. Upon closer inspection, they realized that each mountain range was a living dragon vein, breathing in and out vast spiritual energy from the earth!

The meandering river, with its crystal-clear water shimmering with a faint spiritual light, is clearly formed by liquid spiritual energy mixed with the essence of countless rare mineral veins. Every drop is a treasure!

Looking around, the magical herbs and flowers were growing everywhere, so lush and abundant that it was unbelievable.

Everywhere you look, you can see fruits over ten thousand years old hanging from the branches, crystal-clear snow lotuses blooming in patches on the glacier, and Ganoderma lucidum radiating seven-colored light clustered under ancient trees like mushrooms.

The concentration of spiritual energy in the air is more than a hundred times higher than that in the outside world. Each breath is equivalent to several hours of arduous cultivation in the outside world!

At the center of this small world stands a magnificent ancient-style architectural complex, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters, its scale comparable to, or even more magnificent than, the palace of an earthly empire.

This is clearly the place where the ancestral sorcerers of all generations lived and practiced. After countless years of expansion and development, it has long since formed its own unique layout. However, it is now empty and desolate, lacking any human presence.

Inside the main hall, Li Chen saw a statue of the first ancestor of witches, carved from an unknown white jade. The statue's face was blurred, yet it exuded an aura of majesty that looked down upon all living beings.

In the incense burner in front of the statue, three sticks of incense burned gently, emitting a refreshing fragrance. The incense had been burning continuously for ten thousand years without ever going out!

After a general tour, Li Chen had a general idea of ​​what was going on, and he turned and walked out of the cave gate.

Outside the door, the old shaman Canggu, who had been waiting anxiously, and representatives from various tribes immediately surrounded them, asking eagerly, "Great Shaman, what is the situation inside?"

Li Chen didn't say much. With a thought, he temporarily granted the dozens of key figures in front of him entry access through the "Words of the Stars" scepter in his hand. "Come in and you'll see."

When these people, filled with excitement and curiosity, followed Li Chen through the gate of light once again, they were all stunned by the fairyland-like scene before them!

The dense spiritual energy rushed towards them, causing every pore on their bodies to open up. After just a few breaths, they felt that the bottleneck that had not loosened for many years was showing signs of breaking through!

They gazed greedily at the abundance of rare and precious materials scattered across the land, their eyes filled with fervor and disbelief.

The old wizard Canggu was so excited that tears streamed down his face. He understood better than anyone that this blessed land was the private territory of the ancestor of wizards, a symbol of supreme power and resources.

Li Chen's willingness to grant them temporary access for a visit was an immense favor in itself! He was the first to kneel down, choking back tears, and said, "Thank you for your grace, Ancestor Witch! We swear to serve you to the death!"

Others also knelt down, their voices filled with gratitude.

Subsequently, a supreme meeting, chaired by the newly appointed shaman, was held in the council hall that had not been used for thousands of years.

Seated around the huge circular stone table were more than ten people, including Li Chen, Cang Gu, Oksana, and representatives of wizards and chieftains from seven or eight other tribes.

The old wizard Cang Gu, acting as his deputy, was the first to raise the issue: "Our ancestor, the spiritual energy here is so abundant that it is the foundation for the revival of our clan! I propose that we select the most talented and loyal young members of the clan to cultivate here. This will surely be twice as effective and will quickly cultivate a group of top talents!"

Li Chen nodded slightly, which was exactly what he had in mind. However, he added, "Cang Gu is absolutely right. But this is our clan's sacred ground, and qualifications cannot be granted lightly. They must be selected through a rigorous process, and the final selection must be made by me personally."

He already had a plan in mind: those beautiful, graceful women who knew how to serve others would naturally be given priority to enter and cultivate, thus enriching his harem. As for men, or women of mediocre appearance, he would simply give them some resources that were considered treasures outside but were like weeds here to get rid of them.

To put it bluntly, the resources in this cave are so abundant that even a single blade of grass would be enough to make cultivators outside fight tooth and nail for them, and they would be eternally grateful to us.

Li Chen naturally wouldn't voice these thoughts.

The old wizard Cang Gu was shrewd and experienced. He seemed to understand something from Li Chen's eyes, but he would never point it out. Instead, he felt that this was the source of the wizard ancestor's power and pleasure, and it was only natural.

The two understood each other without saying a word and quickly finalized the matter.

After the meeting, everyone left the cave with excitement and anticipation.

Li Chen did not start the selection process immediately; he decided to first inspect the other tribes in the surrounding area.

After all, he was new to the area and needed to personally "inspect" the "situation" of these tribes to see if they were truly "qualified" to be included in his system, especially whether they had enough "excellent resources" that caught his eye.

Just then, a beautiful woman who had been sitting quietly in the corner gracefully rose, walked up to Li Chen, and gave an elegant bow. Her movement immediately attracted everyone's attention.

This beautiful woman is named Yelena, and she comes from the Moonlight Lake tribe, which is adjacent to the Frostwolf tribe.

She looked to be in her early thirties, the prime of a woman's life.

She wore a well-tailored dark green long dress, the hem of which was adorned with tiny gemstones, like twinkling stars in the night sky.

What is most striking is her amazing figure. Her waist is so slender that it seems as if it would break with the slightest bend, yet it only makes her full and high breasts even more breathtaking, like ripe peaches, rising and falling slightly with her breath.

Beneath the hem of her skirt, a pair of long, straight, and beautiful legs were faintly visible, their proportions perfect.

Her face carried a hint of languor and allure, her eyes sparkling with captivating charm, her red lips full and luscious, and a small beauty mark at the corner of her mouth added a touch of devilish seduction.

"Respected Ancestor Witch." Yelena's voice had a slightly husky, magnetic quality, making it sound exceptionally alluring.

"I am Yelena from the Moonlight Lake Tribe. Upon learning that the Witch Ancestor wishes to inspect the various tribes, my Moonlight Lake Tribe is willing to be the first to invite the Witch Ancestor to come and provide guidance. Our tribe is adjacent to the Snow Mountain and the Spirit Lake, and the scenery is quite unique. The sisters in our tribe have long admired the Witch Ancestor and hope to see his face and hear his teachings."

As she spoke, she leaned forward slightly, unintentionally revealing her impressive assets. Her eyes were full of confidence and allure, clearly demonstrating her expertise in showcasing her charm.

Li Chen's gaze lingered for a moment on her slender waist and full breasts, and he had already made a mental note of the Moonlight Lake tribe.

This tribe has great "potential" and deserves his personal, in-depth investigation.

At that very moment, top experts from the Holy Palace were already rushing towards this place; they were sent by Emperor Ivan of the Great Luo Dynasty.
