I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 87 Leaving the Holy Land, the Ten Rings Gang

Back in his office, Ye Feng sat alone in the large chair. The scenery of the Holy Land outside the window was serene and solemn, but his heart was in turmoil.

He closed his eyes, tapping his fingertips lightly on the table, lost in deep thought.

"Civilization Awakening × Genetics—isn't this the core element of building a high-martial-power society?"

He muttered to himself, a grand and clear blueprint gradually unfolding in his mind.

A nationwide ritual to awaken superpowers, combined with basic cultivation methods that strengthen the body and enhance energy perception and control, is the key to a new era.

"And the existence of Qi is undoubtedly the best bridge connecting these two."

In the Marvel Universe, "Chi" is a relatively mature cultivation system that originates from the source of life.

Whether it's the martial artists of Kunlun with their long-standing traditions or the practitioners in the hidden Tarot, they all possess profound methods for utilizing "Qi".

This power is gentle and restrained, making it the perfect first step for ordinary people to connect with the extraordinary and lay a solid foundation.

"It seems I must find time to visit Kunlun and Tarot as soon as possible."

Ye Feng had already made up his mind.

He was determined to obtain the method of cultivating "qi".

This is undoubtedly the most suitable core foundation for a comprehensive awakening program that combines internal and external efforts. The final key piece of the puzzle he envisions for driving global change seems to have found a clear outline.

However, Ye Feng was also acutely aware that smoothly transitioning the existing ordinary social structure into a new era where everyone has the potential to awaken extraordinary power was definitely not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.

It requires a long period of preparation, gradual guidance, and a relatively stable and controllable external environment.

A hasty and widespread application of power could instantly overwhelm existing social order and moral and legal systems, leading to global turmoil and chaos due to the enormous gap in capabilities.

The complexity of human nature lies in the fact that once an individual suddenly gains power that transcends common sense and rules, the desires and evil thoughts hidden in their heart can easily grow and expand.

The kind of confused thinking that "I'll stop eating beef tomorrow because I'm awakening to new abilities today" is likely to emerge in large numbers.

Therefore, Ye Feng plans to adopt the safest strategy and promote the product in stages and phases.

The primary targets for pilot programs and widespread adoption are naturally the sacred sites where the foundation is already established and the faith is unified.

Moreover, looking at the world, a large number of rigid conservatives and hardliners with deep-seated hostility toward mutants and all supernatural beings still occupy high-level positions in various countries.

Before these stubborn obstacles are effectively eliminated or transformed, prematurely launching a large-scale national awakening plan is tantamount to handing power over to the enemy, sowing huge hidden dangers for our own future and the future of the entire world.

"The timing is not yet ripe—the external pressures and threats are not yet felt deeply enough by those in power."

Ye Feng sighed softly. Limited by the old worldview and power structure, those in power were still immersed in the illusion that they had everything under control.

Even though he had personally ushered in the era of extraordinary change, those politicians would never easily allow the power that could truly overthrow their authority to spread widely.

"Build walls, store up grain, and delay declaring yourself king. The words of the ancients truly contain great wisdom."

Ye Feng slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and turned his thoughts to his next target: Tarot.

At the current rate of development of the Holy Land, the existing land will soon be insufficient. He needs a larger, more secluded base that is more suitable for the development and inheritance of extraordinary power.

This reminded him of the Sanctuary in the Saint Seiya world, which is hidden in another dimension and transcends the world.

In this world, Tarot is undoubtedly an excellent choice, protected by natural dimensional barriers and teeming with rare and exotic creatures and powerful energy beings.

"Clarice, come to me."

Ye Feng rubbed his slightly tired temples and issued an order through the internal communication system. The Holy Domain was currently in dire need of development, and reliable manpower remained scarce.

Upon receiving the message, Clarice quickly arrived at the office. After bowing respectfully, she asked, "Your Majesty, is there any new mission?"

"I'm going on a trip, and I don't know when I'll be back."

"During this period, you will be responsible for handling all matters, large and small, in the Sanctuary in conjunction with the old Pope and Logan. Consult with each other frequently and make decisions cautiously."

Ye Feng looked at her and gave the order directly.

Clarice was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.

As the core and spiritual leader of the Holy Domain, Ye Feng rarely leaves for extended periods of time.

Unless—it involves a major event concerning the future of the Holy Land that requires his personal intervention.

But knowing her limits, she didn't ask any further questions and immediately and solemnly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty! We will do our utmost to protect the Holy Land."

Regarding the existence of "Qi", Ye Feng hopes to verify and experience it personally. Only in this way can he obtain the most intuitive feeling and make the most accurate judgment.

Moreover, the Tarot not only harbors threats like the Soul-Eating Beast, but is also protected by a divine dragon.

Given the current overall strength of the Sanctuary, excluding him and including Logan, they might not be able to reliably handle the possible situations that Tarot might encounter. If they were to inadvertently alert Kunlun's leader, things would become even more complicated.

After all, his initial intention for this trip was to seek cooperation and mutual learning, not to conquer by force.

"At this point in time—Xu Wenwu should have already met Yingli."

"What a pity for this Dragon Envoy."

Ye Feng's thoughts drifted to the guardian of the tarot.

Yingli, as one of the strongest Tarot masters of our time, is not only proficient in the use of "qi" but is also recognized by the dragon.

Unfortunately, for the sake of her love for Xu Wenwu, she chose to give up all her power and leave Tarot, ultimately meeting a tragic end.

===

Shortly after Ye Feng left the Holy Land, a piece of encrypted intelligence quickly circulated among high-ranking officials in various countries around the world.

"Breaking news: Pope Ye Feng has left the Holy Land."

Why did he suddenly leave? Is something terrible about to happen somewhere?

Some high-ranking officials looked at the briefing in their hands with great concern. Almost every time Ye Feng took the initiative to travel, it was accompanied by a major event, especially his two direct confrontations with the devil, which led to a consensus among the global power elite.

This pope would never leave the sanctuary easily unless there was a reason.

Ye Feng was well aware that his every move was being watched by countless eyes, but he didn't care. He boarded a flight and quietly arrived in Hong Kong.

This place is not only a bustling financial center, but also home to one of the three shrines of Kamar-Taj, where magic and the secular world converge.

"The Huan Gang—it shouldn't be hard to find clues in this area."

Ye Feng thought to himself. He didn't know the exact entrance to the Tarot Secret Realm, so he could only resort to a clumsy method.

He strolled into an inconspicuous underground intelligence exchange located deep in an alley.

The interior was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the smell of tobacco and old paper. Several seemingly idle people were lounging on the sofa, but their gazes sharpened the moment he entered.

"Hello, do you have any information about the Ten Rings Gang?"

Ye Feng got straight to the point.

As soon as he finished speaking, the previously languid atmosphere in the exchange vanished instantly, and everyone's attention turned to him.

The Ten Rings Gang is a behemoth that has dominated the Eurasian continent for centuries; it is a truly extraordinary force.

The related intelligence is invaluable.

The shop owner was a lean, middle-aged man with a shrewd glint in his eyes. He put on a professional smile and asked, "Sir, what kind of information about the Ten Rings Gang would you like to know?"

"all."

Ye Feng's words were concise and to the point.

"all?"

"Sir, the cost—it's a bit—"

The boss raised an eyebrow and drawled out the sound.

"Don't worry about the cost."

"I can accept an exchange of information, or I can pay you directly, it's up to you."

Ye Feng interrupted him.

"readily!"

Seeing Ye Feng's extraordinary demeanor and decisiveness, the boss immediately gave his subordinate a wink.

The men exchanged glances, their hands unconsciously reaching for their waists. They seemed confident in their superior numbers and the weapons at their disposal, and were not afraid of the young man who looked somewhat familiar but whom they couldn't quite place.

Soon, a thick stack of documents was moved in front of Ye Feng.

"So many?"

Ye Feng was slightly surprised, not expecting the records about the Ten Rings Gang to be so detailed.

He now understood why Yingli and her child's hideout in the original story was found by their enemies so quickly. Xu Wenwu seemed to have been too confident or negligent in this regard.

The shopkeeper quickly pressed a few keys on the calculator and read out a number. Ye Feng didn't hesitate and swiped his card to pay.

He then found a relatively quiet corner in the store, sat down, and began to quickly flip through the pages.

He skimmed over most of the content, as it wasn't what he needed. He only slowed down when he reached the core file about the leader of the Ten Rings Gang.

"Xu Wenwu, leader of the Ten Rings Gang, has been recognized by the divine artifact Ten Rings and possesses extraordinary power—his exact birth time is unknown, but he is said to have been active for at least several hundred years—"

"The records are indeed very detailed."

After closing the last page of information, Ye Feng stood up, nodded slightly to the boss, and slowly left the intelligence exchange.

As soon as he disappeared, the boss's smile vanished. He quickly whispered to one of his men, "Quickly, contact the Ten Rings Gang. Report back exactly what they found out about that man, including his portrait."

In this chaotic Hong Kong city, underground intelligence networks and forces like the Ten Rings Gang are always intricately connected.

"Has it gotten out?"

Their actions naturally did not escape Ye Feng's notice.

That was also his purpose.

The Ten Rings Gang has been hiding from the world for many years, so it is not easy to find them directly.

Therefore, Ye Feng adopted the most direct approach.

Startle the enemy by disturbing the grass!

As long as the information he gathered about the Ten Rings Gang gets out, the Ten Rings Gang will definitely try to contact him.

After all, he is currently the strongest human being in the public eye!
