The Parliament of Stars
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye.
When he learned that Gao Ruilong's residence was indeed holding a banquet, Gao Yunting didn't hesitate. He left twenty percent of the clan's resources for himself and began recruiting in secret. He did everything he could to raise his own faction.
This was all to nip trouble in the bud. He'd already given Gao Ruilong the family head's medallion, so he could announce his succession at any time.
Furthermore, his father hadn't summoned him in the past six months. Even when he made a deal with the Xiao Family, he hadn't received any rewards. Gao Ruilong had grown even more arrogant during the past six months. This only confirmed Cai Renfei's suspicions.
All Gao Yunting could do now was seize every second he had. If that day really came, then he'd …. Rebel!
During this time, the Sky Great District's Gao Family was in turmoil. The lands beneath the Divine Mountains weren't idle either. Ye Zichen's massive sale of Sea Condensing Pills was finally progressing as he'd hoped.
Countless immortal king experts ascended to the Divine Mountains. Quite a few tried to persuade them to wait a few years, but they'd waited too long. Now that they had a chance to ascend, how could they give it up?
In an instant, countless peak-level factions stepped down from power and began fighting each other ….
After countless years of silence, their territory finally fell into chaos.
In these troubled times, Upheaval's development grew even more ferocious. In just half a year, they'd swept through more than fifty percent of the factions beneath the Divine Mountains.
Either they merged with Upheaval, or they became subordinates of Upheaval.
In short, Upheaval was now, without a doubt, the number one faction beneath the Divine Mountains.
"Boss, this is Upheaval's development plan for the next few years. Please take a look."
With the support of Ye Zichen's resources, Wei Jie's strength had reached the peak sky immortal level. It could be said that he was riding the crest of success. Upheaval had over a hundred branches, and over a hundred million members.
As the head of the gang, he was in charge of countless immortal-king branch leaders and elders. He was quite content.
More than seventy percent of the Divine Mountains' secret realms had become subordinates of Upheaval. Ye Zichen no longer had to worry about the gang's finances. His daily income was more than enough to keep the gang running, and he still had plenty left over.
However, Ye Zichen wasn't a money-grubber. He'd only been so greedy in the past because of Upheaval.
Now that Upheaval's operations were under control, he ordered all of Upheaval's excess profits to be converted into pills and distributed to the gang's outstanding members.
Ye Zichen didn't want to become the richest man in the world. He wanted an army that could make even the Divine Mountains tremble.
After placing the jade slip on the table, Wei Jie reported the situation.
"Boss, with the resources you've provided, Upheaval isn't just under the Northern Divine Mountain anymore. We've taken control of more than half of the nine Divine Mountains' factions. There are nearly ten thousand Immortal King experts in the sect, hundreds of thousands of Heaven Immortal experts, and countless Earth Immortals and Human Immortals. "
"We've also practically monopolized the secret realms of the Nine Great Divine Mountains. The resources we obtain from them every day are already enough for the sect to maintain itself. We've also followed your suggestion and exchanged all the extra resources for spirit stones, medicinal pills, and other items that are beneficial to cultivation for the sect members to use.
"In this half a year, I've also established several academies with Immortal King Realm experts as teachers. I've assigned the more talented members of the gang to study in the academies. These students will be our sharpest swords in the future. "
Although Wei Jie's tone was calm, he couldn't help but feel proud as he spoke.
A year ago, he'd been nothing more than a small squad leader in the Axe Gang. Who would've guessed that a year later, he'd become the leader of a gang with hundreds of millions of members?
Ye Zichen had given him all of this.
Ye Zichen didn't pay much attention to the rest, but when Wei Jie mentioned the academies, he couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.
"Not bad. The academies' idea is excellent. In the future, they'll definitely be our sharpest swords. There's no lack of geniuses beneath the nine Divine Mountains. You absolutely can't let anyone with talent go to waste. "
"I understand." Wei Jie nodded.
"I won't look at the plans. You've done well lately, and I'm very satisfied. I'm also confident that your future plans won't disappoint me. "
Ye Zichen pushed the jade slip back to Wei Jie. When he saw this, Wei Jie's expression inexplicably stiffened.
"Boss, how about you take a look?"
Wei Jie's eyes were filled with apprehension. Ye Zichen couldn't help but frown, but he still didn't look at the jade slip.
"I won't look at your plan and let you do whatever you want. Are you still not satisfied?"
"He doesn't mean that."
At this moment, the Assistant Star, Bai Xiaosheng, curled his lips. He had been following Wei Jie and the others to expand their territory, so he had some understanding of the internal situation.
"Old Bai!"
Wei Jie couldn't help but furrow his brows, signaling him not to say anything. Bai Xiaosheng rolled his eyes at him with a frown.
"You've already said it like this. What else can't you say? Moreover, if Boss saw it, wouldn't he also know the situation? "
When he heard this, Ye Zichen's expression darkened despite himself. He turned to look at Wei Jie.
"What's going on?"
"Actually …. It's not that big of a deal." In response to Ye Zichen's questioning, Wei Jie licked his lips and smiled wryly. "It's like this …."
After about the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Wei Jie explained the situation, and Ye Zichen got the gist of it.
During this period of time, a large number of immortal kings had ascended. As a result, the territories of the Lower Divine Mountains had been shaken.
Countless factions had begun annexing and plundering the territories and resources of the clans that had lost their immortal kings. Wei Jie naturally didn't care about the small squabbles, but there was one faction he had no choice but to take seriously.
It was called the Parliament of Stars.
This gang had appeared out of nowhere. It wasn't a faction that had once existed in the Lower Divine Mountains. Just like Upheaval, this gang had abruptly risen to prominence in these chaotic times.
Their starting point was Blue Bird City, located at the foot of the southern Divine Mountain, near the River Styx. Upheaval had expanded from the extreme north. By the time they passed through the Central Divine Mountain, they'd taken control of almost all the factions in the south. They occupied more than thirty percent of the resources in the Lower Divine Mountains.
As for the remaining twenty percent, they were divided among countless smaller factions.
Although the Parliament of Stars' overall strength couldn't compare to Upheaval's, it wasn't an existence that could be easily trampled upon. Its existence had already begun to rival Upheaval.
During this period of time, Upheaval couldn't act against the smaller factions. If they dared ….
The other factions would definitely attach themselves to the Parliament of Stars, which would make things even more troublesome.
The Parliament of Stars seemed happy with the current situation. They stopped expanding their territory. Now, it was a contest of patience.
"The Parliament of Stars."
Ye Zichen smiled indifferently. He hadn't expected someone else to think the same way as him. It seemed this person had some tricks up his sleeve. However, he couldn't let his existence become a stumbling block to Upheaval's progress.
