Strongest Lord by Opening Blind Boxes

Chapter 502: Chapter 340: Mirror Lake Royal Court, The Auction

Just as the student surpasses the master, Wang Yi was content to remain behind the scenes, acting as a ”Supreme Emperor” while quietly developing his territory.

After the mobilization meeting ended, Wang Yi followed Jelena’s advice and appointed many officials, granting them administrative authority over the territory. He then headed to the Military Affairs Office to attend a military and political conference.

This conference was convened by the Minister of Military Affairs, Nangong Jin. Its main purpose was to discuss the National War policy against the Waga Royal Court and subsequent military plans.

Nangong Jin and the others were unaware of the existence of the ecological weapon, Star-devouring Grass. Their discussion focused on how to dispatch troops, whether to establish outposts, and how to handle war refugees and spoils.

”The Waga Royal Court is basically finished. You can still go out and fight, but be careful. Don’t be careless. The Base Fusion Insects and the Three-Eyed Golden Lions are at your disposal. If necessary, you can ask my avatar for help... Also, be wary of other Stellar Influences.”

Wang Yi offered a few simple opinions.

He had lost most of his interest in attacking the Waga Royal Court. He was only slightly curious about where the Lord of the Royal Court and the Heart of Chaos were hidden. And satisfying that curiosity was clearly not as important as opening Chaos Blind Boxes.

It was worth mentioning that the Military Affairs Office now had three Ministers of Military Affairs: Nangong Jin, Wang Bushi, and the up-and-coming Zhao Wukang. Their salaries were extremely high. After the last distribution of Virtual Air Force Pay, they each received over a million Gold Coins, much to the envy of everyone else.

Continuing the National War would allow them to gain a large amount of military merit. People like Man Datou, Fish-Transformed Dragon, and Yang Qingniu were war maniacs, thinking only of grinding for merit and raising their military rank. Their enthusiasm for participating in the war was sky-high.

Another day passed. Following Hong Yue, a second small world fully stabilized in the sky. It also resembled a moon, hanging there and emitting a faint blue light.

Wang Yi named it Blue Moon, planted ecological seeds within it, and developed it into his second subsidiary territory. Meanwhile, Wang Panwu entered the third small world to begin nurturing it with the Earth Creation Law.

Ye Qitian, Xue Shentian, and Liu Chenglin drew lots to decide who would govern the Blue Moon. After a ruckus that lasted for the better part of a day, Xue Shentian won, and Wang Yi appointed him as the Master of the Blue Moon.

Xue Shentian possessed the S-Class Lord Talent [Real-time Intelligence]. He was quite ambitious and shameless. He pestered Wang Yi for troops, kneeling and crying about how Li Mingli had three thousand Celestial Eagle Warriors and that as the Great Lord, Wang Yi couldn’t favor one over the other, and so on and so forth.

Wherever Wang Yi went, he followed. This pestering went on for a full three days. Wang Yi, unable to stand it any longer, finally transferred the Dou Shen Palace to the Blue Moon, effectively putting Xue Shentian in command of the Holy Fighting Gods.

The Holy Fighting Gods were a powerful fighting force, one of the Soldier Types created by Wang Yi himself. They used the Star Tree as their barracks and were led by the Commander, Athena, a Bronze Saint Fighter who had awakened her Eighth Sense. They could all use the Light Speed Fist, and their level cap was 260!

Xue Shentian was overjoyed. The very next day, he dispatched the army of Holy Fighting Gods to invade the Waga Royal Court.

As for Wang Yi, he once again settled into a leisurely life. He spent his days practicing his swordsmanship, opening Chaos Blind Boxes, and reading the newspaper. He would also dine with Li Longyu and the others, chatting about everyday matters, as if he had retired to enjoy a peaceful family life.

Half a month later, on a bright and sunny morning, Li Longyu approached Wang Yi while holding a honey peach the size of a soccer ball and said, ”Old Wang, I think I’m pregnant again?”

”What?”

Wang Yi was stunned. He carefully examined Li Longyu’s belly and said, ”Xiaoli, your Physique is really something else. Don’t tell me it’s septuplets again this time!”

Li Longyu actually nodded. ”I can sense it. It’s seven babies. But this pregnancy might last for three years!”

”Three years? Good heavens, you’re not going to give birth to seven Nezhas in three years, are you?”

Li Longyu smiled. ”Before my belly gets too big, I want to go traveling for a bit. I’ve already discussed it with Zhao Mei and Liang Xiaoyu. We’re planning to take a trip to the Mirror Lake Royal Court!”

The Mirror Lake Royal Court ranked 1234th on the Fourth Dimension’s territory leaderboard. It was a permanently neutral Royal Court with beautiful scenery and abundant resources. It had established Teleportation Arrays in many High-Dimensional Divine Halls, making it a famous tourist destination in the Fourth Dimension, also known by the moniker ”Miracle Royal Court.”

Wang Yi had learned about the Mirror Lake Royal Court from the Mysterious Newspaper. A joyous celebration, held once every thirty years, was currently underway there. Many travelers were drawn to it, and a large-scale auction was also said to be taking place.

”You’ve read the Mysterious Newspaper too? The Mirror Lake Royal Court is a good place to visit. Go on, go on. I approve. Have fun!”

Wang Yi nodded. As he spoke, he opened a Chaos Blind Box and got an Enhance +5 ear scoop.

Li Longyu said, ”Aren’t you coming with us, Old Wang? Jelena is managing things at home, and you don’t have much to do anyway. Why not come have some fun with us!”

Wang Yi waved his hand. He had no interest in sightseeing at the moment. He said casually, ”The territory can’t do without me. I just look idle, but I’m actually very busy! Besides, how can sightseeing be as interesting as opening Chaos Blind Boxes?”

”You’re just going to let us go out on our own? Come on, let’s go together!” Li Longyu said, tugging on Wang Yi’s arm. ”With you as our bodyguard, we can relax and have more fun.”

”Not going!”

”The Mirror Lake Royal Court is holding an auction. There will be good things for sale. If you go, you might find an unexpected treasure!”

”Heh, not going!”

Wang Yi was unmoved. But just then, Wang Pingyi flickered into existence before him, bowed, and said, ”My Lord, a message has arrived from Li Bozhen of the Mingyu Divine Country. The Mingyu Divine King will descend upon the Mirror Lake Royal Court in three days and invites you to attend for a matter of great importance.”

”The Mingyu Divine Lord?” Wang Yi’s brow twitched. He glanced at Li Longyu beside him, shook his head, and sighed. ”Ah, women... they really do affect the speed of my Cultivation! Let’s go, let’s go. I’ll accompany you all on a trip to the Mirror Lake Royal Court!”

Wang Yi was actually quite concerned about the Mingyu Divine Lord. He didn’t dare take her invitation lightly; after all, she was the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.

Upon hearing this, Li Longyu was overjoyed and immediately went to pack for the trip.

If he were traveling to the Mirror Lake Royal Court alone, Wang Yi could use Starlight Rush or pilot the Bronze War Chariot. However, since he was taking Li Longyu, Zhao Mei, and the others, he felt it would be more appropriate to use a spaceship.

Wang Yi had quite a few spaceships in his territory. The strongest was, of course, the Cloud Sea Battleship, but unfortunately, it lacked the Top-Level Immortal Jade needed to power it. So, Wang Yi chose ”Taohua Island.”

Taohua Island was an ecological spaceship that had already transformed into an Eco Earth Deity. It could take root in the void and absorb Cosmic Energy. Its level had now reached LV200, and it possessed a movement skill, allowing it to fly at extremely high speeds. It was considered a very decent Cosmic Spaceship.

「One day later.」

Wang Yi departed. Taohua Island ascended into the sky, scattering a shower of peach blossoms.

The people on the island, aside from Wang Yi and Li Longyu, included Zhao Mei, Liang Xiaoyu, Yun Rou, and Wang Sanmei.

Wang Yi let Li Longyu pilot the ship while he sat amidst a grove of flowers, continuing to open his Chaos Blind Boxes.

Getting to the Mirror Lake Royal Court was actually simple. They just needed to find a High-Dimensional Divine Hall that had a Teleportation Array leading there.

There were many such High-Dimensional Divine Halls in the Starry Sky of the Fourth Dimension, so they weren’t difficult to find.

In fact, besides the Royal Court Planets, there were also many Starry Continents in the Starry Sky of the Fourth Dimension. These Starry Continents were teeming with active Adventurer Players, and most contained Secret Realms, wild zones, and major regional cities. They were bound to have a High-Dimensional Divine Hall.

With Li Longyu and the others steering haphazardly, they arrived at a Starry Continent named Wangu Continent a day later.

This Starry Continent was not far from the Hundred Battle Royal Court and wasn’t particularly large. It was mostly covered in wild grasslands. At its very center was Wanggu City. The city was magnificent, with its walls, buildings, and roads all constructed from giant stones. Outside the city were countless spaceships, while inside, the streets bustled with traffic and a dense population. And in its center stood a massive High-Dimensional Divine Hall.

”We’ve found the High-Dimensional Divine Hall! Let’s go see if it has a Teleportation Array!”

Li Longyu called out and piloted Taohua Island straight toward the center of Wanggu City, but they were immediately blocked by two level 200 Players in Golden Armor.

”Spaceships are forbidden inside the city! Your island is forbidden too!”

”Will the people on the island please disembark and proceed on foot! The order of Wanggu City is maintained by our Celestial Wolf Gang. Disobeying our command is the same as making an enemy of the Celestial Wolf Gang!”
