Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 318 Return
Half a month later, Ji Fuyou completed his recuperation.

This time, the refining of the golden source crystal not only enhanced his physique, but also tempered his spirit.

Moreover, the quenching effect is very significant.

If before he had almost no confidence in completing his spiritual transformation, now…

I already had the idea that "it's worth a try".

As for whether it will succeed...

However, it cannot be considered truly absolute.

Therefore, Ji Fuyou plans to practice some more.

Continue refining the golden physique source crystal, using the remaining will of that great being within it to hone yourself, so that when the time comes to complete the spiritual transformation, you can do so smoothly and without any surprises.

……

According to Ji Fuyou's plan, he naturally hoped to refine the second golden source crystal as soon as his energy recovered.

However, he couldn't guarantee how long it would take to refine the second golden source crystal.

If more than a month passes, you will miss the second opening of the Mayan temple.

Considering that there were less than ten days left before the opening of the Mayan Temple, Ji Fuyou did not refine the source crystal easily. Instead, he went to Dragon Head Town to summon the divine beast Horned Deer and evolve it to level 7.

On the other hand, it also involves using all the lucky oil collected in Dragon Head Town to soak the divine weapons, minimizing the burden on the Judgment Battle Blade and Dragon Pattern Flying Sword.

After finishing up these matters, big and small, Ji Fuyou, Fang Qiyun, Yang Kaitai, and others finally set off again for the Sand Highlands of the Kingdom of Kaya.

……

The convoy headed straight for the border.

However, as he crossed the border, Ji Fuyou keenly noticed that a large number of vagrants from the Brahma Kingdom were entrenched outside the pass.

This scene surprised him somewhat.

"what's the situation?"

"Let me ask."

Fang Qiyun quickly contacted the Qingzhou Border Management Office.

She quickly got the answer: "There's a civil war in the Brahma Kingdom. These people are moving towards the border of the Shang Dynasty to escape the war."

"civil war?"

"Yes, corruption is rampant in the Brahma Kingdom. Captain should have heard about this before. Originally, it would have been one thing if the officials of the Brahma Kingdom were a little corrupt, as long as the lives of the people could be saved and social stability could be maintained, so that the people would not rebel. But the fog of corruption kept emerging, causing one tragedy after another. The Brahma high command not only did nothing about it, but also blocked the news and suppressed those who warned against it..."

Fang Qiyun frowned and said, "After half a year of forbearance, public sentiment has finally erupted, and with the covert support of some forces... civil war has begun."

"Is the situation in Brahma Kingdom very serious?"

"Very serious."

Fang Qiyun said, "It was better in previous years, but in the past year, the death toll caused by the fog has skyrocketed, especially as the fog has begun to erode towns... In just one year, the death toll in the Brahma Kingdom has reached a staggering two million! Especially last month, a city was swallowed up, and hundreds of thousands of people perished!"

"Two million!?"

Even Ji Fuyou was somewhat moved by this number.

It's important to understand that in many war zones, the annual death toll doesn't even reach this number.

At this moment, he keenly realized something: "The Brahma royal family refuses to cooperate with us, so they want us to send people into the Brahma Kingdom to wipe out the Misty Beasts?"

"Yes, they are worried that a large number of Federation warriors entering Brahma will threaten the royal family's rule."

Fang Qiyun said, "Although the death toll is high, the capital of Brahma is protected by a large number of experts and has not been affected by the mist. Therefore, in their view, maintaining the rule of the royal family is more important than introducing external forces to help eliminate the mist."

She glanced down at the newly collected data in her hand: "The Qingzhou Martial Arts Association has been in contact with them for two or three months, saying they wanted to help them clear up the fog, but they've been constantly refusing with various excuses. The higher-ups have clearly lost patience... so..."

Ji Fuyou was not surprised by this.

The world's four poles are already dividing up the four continents.

Without the interference of the other three poles, the four major world powers could easily wipe out the surrounding small and medium-sized countries with their immense national strength.

"If you're going to make a move, do it quickly. Don't let the prolonged battle lead to even greater casualties."

He simply offered a word of advice.

Fang Qiyun glanced at the documents, then looked up and said, "The main problem is that the Qingzhou government, military, spiritual and martial arts associations don't know your true attitude. Now that I have your words, I can tell them to take action without worry and send people to forcibly enter the Brahma Kingdom."

"My stance? The state governor system hasn't been officially implemented yet, has it?"

"Although it has not been implemented, the main reason is that the federal government is worried about the potential for major public opinion crises that would be difficult to control due to this reversal of historical progress. However, many high-ranking and even mid-level officials have already learned about this news and understand that the government is extremely determined to implement this system."

Fang Qiyun smiled and said, "It's also because you, Captain, don't have much contact with the governments of Qingzhou, Chuzhou, and Xizhou. If you just send out a signal, the military and political leaders of the three states will definitely visit Yunjing Garden immediately."

"Oh? You're trying to implement it? What kind of resistance are you encountering?"

Ji Fuyou asked.

“There is almost no resistance.”

Fang Qiyun said, "The officials who can rise to the top or even the middle level are all shrewd people. They can naturally see that times have changed. In order to deal with the severe situation brought about by the erosion of the fog, it is inevitable that those who wield powerful military force will rise to the top."

As she spoke, she added, "In fact, these middle and upper-class people have long had this understanding. Back then, a family worth tens of billions in Chuzhou was completely manipulated by a mere deputy senior-level mental ability user. And as the mist erodes, there will be more and more alien beasts and monsters that master mental abilities. If someone of mediocre strength is placed in a high position, wouldn't that just be handing over a weakness to the alien beasts? In the future, it will be inevitable that the strong will hold high positions and govern a region."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

The convoy then proceeded, heading straight for the Kingdom of Kaya.

During their journey, the group encountered a combat zone.

However, Yu Chen, who was traveling with the team, stepped forward and directly demonstrated his combat power as a master-level martial artist.

Immediately, the two fighting teams, each consisting of several hundred men, ceased fire. The battle only resumed after the convoy had passed.

We encountered similar situations several times along the way.

However, the presence of master-level martial artists clearing the way barely affected the convoy's speed.

The only problem was that the road conditions worsened, wasting a lot of the group's time.

"I remember there's an airport not far from Sand Heights? Next time, let's just arrange a plane."

Ji Fuyou said something.

"clear."

Fang Qiyun nodded: "I will contact King Tuta right away and ask them to repair that airport and apply for a dedicated airway."

Ji Fuyou did not refuse.

Each time he went to the Kingdom of Kaya, it was to wipe out the demons and living statues in the Mayan temples. This act was undoubtedly a rescue for the people of the entire Kingdom of Kaya from suffering.

Enjoying such a small privilege is nothing.

……

After a bumpy ride, Ji Fuyou finally arrived at Sand Highlands.

At this time, the villas and manors in Sand Highlands had all been acquired by Tuta and were used specifically to house Ji Fuyou and his group.

In addition, military personnel are stationed here, and professional staff are responsible for cleaning and maintenance.

After Ji Fuyou and the others arrived, the place had been thoroughly cleaned beforehand, so not only was everything clean and tidy, but the ground was also spotless.

When they arrived, the two royal family members, Tuta and Turing, held a grand welcoming ceremony.

Considering that he, as the governor of three states, will be responsible for clearing the fog south of the Eastern Divine Continent, and the Kingdom of Kaya is located south of the Eastern Divine Continent...

Ji Fuyou accepted the invitation to the banquet from Tuta and Turing.

He briefly mentioned the matter at the banquet.

Tuta and Turing agreed without hesitation.

This decisiveness surprised Ji Fuyou.

"Don't you need to reconsider?"

"It is an honor for our Kingdom of Kaya that the Chairman is willing to establish a branch there."

Tuta said without hesitation, "Our Kingdom of Kaya is willing to set an example and prove to the surrounding countries that responding to Chairman Ji's call can bring about changes within the country."

Turing, standing to the side, also smiled and said, "We sent people into the Mayan temple. The monsters inside were far beyond what our Kaya Kingdom could handle. Fortunately, Ji Wusheng helped us clear out most of these monsters last time. Otherwise, if they had really broken out of the Mayan temple, the entire Kaya Kingdom would have been devastated."

She looked at Ji Fuyou: "Now that we know the gap between us and these monsters, and Martial Saint Ji is willing to send people to help us continue to wipe out these monsters, we should be overjoyed, how could we refuse?"

Fang Qiyun also slightly activated his mental communication and said, "Aside from slightly larger countries like Brahma and Great Sun that might have ambitions, small and medium-sized countries like Kaya usually beg the four major world powers to station their troops here."

After hearing this, Ji Fuyou did not continue on this topic.

After a harmonious and friendly exchange, Ji Fuyou and his group rested and recharged.

The next morning, they went directly into the Mayan temple.

The demon archers, giant rats, and other monsters in the Mayan temple were mostly wiped out by Ji Fuyou last time.

But as time went on, some more monsters broke through the mist and entered the temple.

Because these monsters were too powerful, the Kingdom of Kaya was powerless to stop them and could only use its army to seal off the temple.

Without repeated purges, the number of monsters inside the temple has increased considerably.

These monsters are perfect for Fang Qiyun, Liu Yiren, Xiao Hanxue, Yang Kaitai and others to practice on.

Since Fang Qiyun had already cultivated her vitality, the 10 purple physique source crystals directly boosted her physique stat to 41, and her vitality also soared to over 560.

Although Xiao Hanxue had not cultivated her life force, her mastery of divine energy made her combat prowess unparalleled among master-level martial artists.

Add to that the master of spiritual cultivation, Yang Kaitai, and Liu Yiren with her falcon...

The group made very smooth progress in the Mayan temple and encountered almost no significant danger.

They quickly arrived at the center of the temple.

"Captain, should we wait here, or..."

Fang Qiyun's gaze fell on Ji Fuyou.

"wait?"

Yuan Xing's words flashed through Ji Fuyou's mind.

To gain power, one must do what is theoretically impossible.

So……

Before the Mist Monsters descend upon Red Star, we will storm their stronghold and wipe them out completely.

Wouldn't you call this turning the impossible into the possible?

"Stay put and guard the area."

Ji Fuyou spoke and, without hesitation, activated the power of the Void Authority.

The next moment, thick fog rolled in, and his figure disappeared from everyone's sight.
