What's it like to be stronger than Saitama?

Thinking of this, Yang Xi had a bad feeling. He had slept until nightfall and had no idea what had happened to the cloud he had fixed in the sky.

After seeing his sister off, Yang Xibian once again soared into the night sky and came to the foot of this cloud layer.

Fortunately, the weather wasn't great today, and there wasn't much of a moon, so Yang Xi's "masterpiece" probably won't be noticed by many people.

Even if someone discovers it, it doesn't matter. As long as there are no unusual phenomena containing fluctuations of profound laws, it won't attract the attention of powerful individuals.

"Disperse."

Yang Xi cautiously tried to break free of his own profound power's control over the cloud layer, fearing that the phenomenon of advancing to the fourth rank would strike again.

Fortunately, perhaps because the time limit had passed, this cloud layer became no different from its surroundings.

"We've finally dealt with this strange phenomenon that led to the comprehension of profound mysteries."

After leaving a clone at the 05 defense line, Yang Xi sensed the spatial anchor point and arrived at the dense stronghold located inside the mountain on Banana Island.

Learn from your mistakes. If you keep causing trouble here, it will be even easier to shift the blame if something unusual happens.

"However, my men are really capable. They've only been here a few days, and the pile of alien beast corpses is already this much."

Helpless, Yang Xi had no choice but to first remove some of the special energy beads to replenish his dark energy reserves.

Looking at the much cleaner base, Yang Xi took out the almost transparent Philosopher's Stone from the Void Cube.

A voice, extremely weak, came from the Philosopher's Stone.

"Yang Xi, you little brat, you broke your promise and have ruined my ancestors!"

Since he was in the wrong, Yang Xi didn't argue with Philosopher's Stone about the form of address.

"You're still conscious? I thought you'd kicked the bucket."

"Screw you, I can hold on a little longer!"

Yang Xi looked the Philosopher's Stone up and down and decided to help it out.

He can't return this primal power, but he might be able to leave the consciousness of the Philosopher's Stone behind.

Thus, Yang Xi solidified the spiritual imprint of the spiritual contract on the Philosopher's Stone.

"Old man, if you don't want to disappear, follow the mark to my Cloud Top Space. If I don't die, neither will you!"

The Philosopher's Stone's consciousness was already on the verge of collapse. Sensing the vast and gentle spiritual power from the imprint, it leaped towards the spiritual imprint like a fish out of water.

As the Philosopher's Stone's consciousness departed, the transparent crystal shattered, turning into powder that slipped through Yang Xi's fingers.

Yang Xi quickly ascended to the Cloud Top Space, only to see a round, chubby spirit spinning aimlessly above the Cloud Top Hall.

Upon spotting Yang Xi, the emoji-like spirit, with its wide eyes, pounced on him!

"Wow, Yang Xi, you little rascal, you've sucked every last drop out of me! Not a single drop left! Even Damon isn't as ruthless as you!"

Yang Xi felt like he was being hugged by a ball of cotton. After the Philosopher's Stone nibbled at him for a while, Yang Xi finally pulled him off.

"Alright, old man, I didn't originally intend to take that much from you, but things didn't go as planned!"

This was Yang Xi's honest opinion. He wasn't that ruthless; he planned to leave some of the original power for this treacherous Philosopher's Stone so that it could grow and then be harvested again, one wave after another, endlessly.

"Sigh," the Philosopher's Stone floated helplessly. It knew it couldn't turn back, but fortunately, its consciousness remained. "Young man Yang, I've treated you fairly well, so you have to take responsibility for me!"

Yang Xi was both amused and exasperated. "Don't say that. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, you can live in this Cloud Top Space forever."

“I can also grant you some permissions so you can build yourself a little house you like, and you won’t be the only one here.”

Yang Xi, carrying the spirit of the Philosopher's Stone, visited the Four Symbols Hall invisibly. Seeing the Heavenly Gang members logging in and out to do tasks from time to time, the Philosopher's Stone felt a little better.

At least there are other people here, so it shouldn't be too boring most of the time.

"Not only that, I think you should also have a way to return to the real world."

With a thought, Yang Xi noticed that Zhuque, who was diligently setting up the Cloud Top Space and handling the tasks of the Four Symbols Hall, appeared beside the two of them.

Yang Xi introduced, "This is Zhuque, my capable assistant. Her situation is similar to yours. Maybe you can learn from her how to descend into the real world through the Heavenly Gang Mask."

The spirit of the Philosopher's Stone glared and said, "Hmph, do I need to learn from a little girl?"

Zhuque remained unmoved by its mockery, staying quietly by Yang Xi's side without paying any attention.

In the eyes of the Philosopher's Stone, she was ignoring him; only Yang Xi knew that Suzaku was always like this.

As the embodiment of the seventh consciousness, she has no emotions and can manifest in countless forms. Don't be fooled by the fact that she has one projection here; perhaps another projection is currently judging a member of the Heavenly Gang who has violated the rules of judgment.

This was also the power that Yang Xi had granted her some time ago.

"Alright, old man, I, Yang Xi, am a straightforward person. I've absorbed all your source power, so I'll compensate you with a free life."

"Choose one of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Black Tortoise, or Qilin, and I will find a way to get you a physical body so that you can adventure in the Four Seas, the Blue Star, and even countless planes."

The Philosopher's Stone stared blankly at Yang Xi, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this...is this real?"

This was what he had dreamed of for countless years, but unfortunately, although he could grant others' wishes, he could never cultivate himself into human form.

Yang Xi smiled slightly, "I am speaking to you now as the leader of the Arbitration Committee."

"I'm absolutely not kidding!"

333 Xuanwu returns to its position!

"The leader of the judiciary?"

In his spirit form, the somewhat dazed Philosopher's Stone stared blankly at Yang Xi, sensing that the other's aura had suddenly changed.

Become profound and trustworthy!

Perhaps even Yang Xi himself didn't know that the organization he had created, the Judgment, had already been transformed into a real and powerful force, and had begun to influence the situation of the entire Blue Star Plane.

As the founder of the Judgment and the leader of the organization, he naturally exudes the aura of a superior, commonly known as the aura of a king. When recruiting followers, his charm doubles.

Looking at the spirit, Yang Xi already had a series of plans in mind to allow the spirit residing in the Cloud Top Space to return to the real world.

To achieve reincarnation in another sense.

However, it requires a rather special superpower, and Yang Xi already knows where to obtain this power. Let's guess!

"My suggestion is that you can choose either the Qilin or the Xuanwu."

Yang Xi smiled and said, "Qilin Si Tu, your original body was the Philosopher's Stone. Although you have now broken free from that constraint, you are still destined to be associated with the earth element."

The Philosopher's Stone asked, "Then what is the meaning of the Black Tortoise?"

"Xuanwu governs water, and its name embodies gentleness and roundness, which aligns well with your personality."

Yang Xi wouldn't tell him that it was because of the thousand-year-old tortoise and the ten-thousand-year-old turtle. Didn't that old thing, the Philosopher's Stone, always like to boast about how long it lived? It was perfect to be a giant turtle with a head that was long but a tail that was short.

The Philosopher's Stone was somewhat tempted by Yang Xi's words, and he looked at Yang Xi with a complicated expression.

It was this little guy who awakened it from its seal, snatched it away amidst the battles of various powerful figures, and even absorbed all of its original power.

"With this kid's cunning and treacherous nature and endless tricks, his future achievements are bound to be limitless! Forget it, the Philosopher's Stone is broken, and I've already severed ties with the past. I'll follow him and do something spectacular, so that my life won't have been in vain!"

The Philosopher's Stone, with a touch of melancholy, said, "Right and wrong, grudges and affections, all turn to nothing. From now on, there will be no more Philosopher's Stone in this world."

"I choose to become the Black Tortoise of the North!"

Yang Xi was initially taken aback, but then his expression turned solemn. He bowed deeply to the spiritual entity and said in a loud voice, "Respectfully requesting Xuanwu to return to its place!"

Yang Xi's voice, like a grand bell, resounded throughout the entire cloud-top space. At the same time, five pillars of light—gold, blue, red, white, and black—rose from the five main halls representing the Qilin, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise.

Those Heavenly Gang members who had not yet logged in also sensed the anomaly in the Cloud Top Space and logged in one after another, appearing in their respective halls.

This is the most complete gathering of all the Heavenly Gang members since the implementation of the Heavenly Gang Plan!

Inside the White Tiger Hall, Augusta stared blankly at the surging spiritual entity in the sky, muttering, "Is Lord Xuanwu about to appear?"

Jiang Ye stared intently at the phantom of the dragon's head, tortoise's body, and snake's tail gradually taking shape in the sky.

He had always thought that Vermilion Bird was just a code name, but judging from today's strange phenomena, the Judgment Organization's foundation is definitely more than that!

Xiao Baishi stared intently at the gradually solidifying Xuanwu phantom. "Returning to its position? Could it be that there are still vacancies in the organization's Four Symbols positions? Otherwise, we are clearly members of the White Tiger Hall, so why has Lord Vermilion Bird always been in charge of us?"

His eyes darted around, "If this vacancy really exists, I wonder what method it would take to become one of the Four Symbols!"

Goodness, Xiao Baishi truly lives up to his reputation as a bestselling author; he dares to dream big!

According to Yang Xi's plan, to advance from the Heavenly Gang position to the Dao Four Symbols position, one must also cross the Star Constellation position and the Zodiac position. Isn't Xiao Baishi, that old bastard, afraid of taking too big a step and messing things up?

But you still have to have dreams, what if they come true?

Yang Xi is indeed considering gradually establishing a promotion mechanism so that more talented people can become the backbone of the adjudication organization.

However, unlike the less demanding Heavenly Gang positions, the later levels will inevitably test the loyalty of the members.

Yang Xi was too lazy to think about the various twists and turns of the tests. He planned to either ask the Vermilion Bird consciousness for help or simply recruit a subordinate who had experience in this area.

"Haha, I'm off!"

The Philosopher's Stone—no, it should now be called Xuanwu—finally condensed its form in the Cloud Top Space with Yang Xi's help.

Wearing the same black robe and dark gold mask as the Vermilion Bird, but under the robe was a slightly burly old man with a few strands of messy white hair peeking out from behind the Xuanwu mask, giving the impression of being vigorous and domineering despite his advanced age.

Xuanwu nodded to the members of the Heavenly Gang in his Xuanwu Hall.

This immediately flattered the powerful figures who made a living in the chaotic sea. Compared with the incorruptible and impartial Lord Zhuque, Lord Xuanwu seemed to be more humane.

But what they didn't know was that beneath Xuanwu's outward appearance lay a cunning and treacherous villain, who had tricked and killed countless powerful individuals.

After making a brief appearance, Xuanwu disappeared from the sight of the other members of the Heavenly Gang once again.

The experts from the other halls simply enjoyed the show, but the experts from the Xuanwu Hall were somewhat anxious, unsure of what kind of person Lord Xuanwu was. Perhaps they should find an opportunity to offer some points and pay their respects.

Xuanwu had actually returned to Yang Xi's side; this area was invisible to them.

"leader."

Xuanwu has lived for so many years, and he has a clear understanding of some things.

Since you've chosen to work under Yang Xi, you need to adjust your mindset.

When it is appropriate to be respectful, be respectful; when it is appropriate to address someone as the leader, address them as the leader.

Moreover, he now only has a spiritual body left; his physical body, superpowers, and even profound mysteries in the real world all depend on Yang Xi.

Yang Xi nodded in satisfaction. It seemed that making the Philosopher's Stone one of the Four Symbols was a brilliant move. It saved the old man's life and gave him a subordinate who had lived for who knows how many years.

"Take some time to familiarize yourself with the business with Zhuque. Work hard for us judges, and you'll get your body and your superpowers!"

"Yes, Chief!"
