Chapter 2946 Bai Yunzong's Little Thoughts!
Chapter 2946 Bai Yunzong's Little Thoughts!
Lin Yuan always felt that Jing Bai seemed a little dazed. If he didn't provide him with some resources, Lin Yuan was afraid that Jing Bai would wake up and think that what he had just experienced was just a dream.
After using Star Spirit Seat to transfer the resources, Wen Yu's expression turned ugly.
Lin Yuan knew that Wen Yu had basically reached her limit. If she were to forcefully maintain the Astronomical Parliament after reaching her limit, it would definitely have a huge impact on Wen Yu's health.
A small depletion of spiritual energy could be replenished. However, prolonged depletion of spiritual energy could result in permanent damage.
Lin Yuan directly instructed Wen Yu to end the Astronomical Parliament meeting. In any case, the Astronomical Parliament had recruited a new member, addressed the new member's situation, and helped him resolve his problem. No matter how one looked at it, the Astronomical Parliament meeting was a success.
Wen Yu did not end the Astronomical Parliament immediately. She opened her eyes and endured the discomfort in her body as she used the precious spiritual ingredients that Lin Yuan had provided her to restore her spiritual energy.
Soon, Wen Yu recovered, but she had depleted her spiritual energy and needed some time to replenish it.
Wen Yu checked her body and told Lin Yuan, "Young Master, why don't we set the next Astronomical Parliament meeting in 20 days? The Astronomical Parliament meeting every 20 days is basically my limit. The development in the Sky Beyond the Clouds has just begun. If we delay it for too long, it will be too time-consuming for us to deal with the situation."
Lin Yuan nodded.
Holding the Astronomical Parliament every 20 days was relatively frequent compared to the Astronomical Parliament that was held in the main world previously. At that time, the Astronomical Parliament was only held once every 50 to 60 days.
There were two reasons why the Astronomical Parliament was extended for such a long time.
Firstly, Lin Yuan had been busy controlling the main world at that time and did not require the Astronomical Parliament to create any value for him.
Secondly, most of the Astronomical Parliament members had gathered around Lin Yuan. Even those who had not gathered around Lin Yuan had a Thoughts Letter Paper.
With the Thoughts Letter Paper, the Astronomical Parliament members could communicate with each other. There was really no need to hold the Astronomical Parliament all the time.
Lin Yuan now had something that could replace the Thoughts Letter Paper, which was the ramet of the Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower. He could communicate with Kong Huan through it, and naturally, he could also communicate with Jing Bai in the future.
If not for the fact that there were relatively few young Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flowers and he did not have many to waste, Lin Yuan would have arranged a Fantasy Crystal Birth Stone Flower to facilitate communication between Jing Bai and himself.
"Wen Yu, prioritize your health. You must ensure that the convening of the Astronomical Parliament meeting doesn't compromise your safety and health. The Astronomical Parliament this time lasted more than 16 minutes when you used the Star Spirit Seat. This means that the Astronomical Parliament can officially begin!
"For the next Astronomical Parliament, we can intentionally reduce the duration to ensure you don't exhaust your spiritual energy, keeping it within 14 minutes."
…
While Lin Yuan and Wen Yu were conversing, Jing Bai opened his eyes in the cave. When he sensed the familiar darkness around him and the breathing of his companions nearby, he coughed twice.
Jing Bai's cough quickly attracted an angry shout.
"If you can't sleep, don't disturb our sleep. If we don't rest well, everyone will be whipped!"
Basically, whenever someone made a sound during the break, they would be subjected to such a stern shout. However, did the person who barked consider that their shout would wake everyone else up? Compared to the loud shout, his cough seemed quite insignificant.
Jing Bai only cursed in his heart. He knew very well that if he spoke at this time, it would inevitably cause an argument. It would be fine if the dispute could be resolved quickly. However, if it became too loud and disturbed the guards, it would undoubtedly lead to extremely negative consequences.
Jing Bai didn't want others to be punished because of him.
Jing Bai was completely awake now. Just as Lin Yuan had expected, he thought that everything that had just happened was just a dream. However, it was undeniable that the dream just now gave Jing Bai a very pleasant feeling. In the dream, he seemed to have been the savior of the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes. Unfortunately, that sense of fulfillment was fleeting.
Jing Bai rubbed his eyes and spread his hands out. At this moment, Jing Bai suddenly realized that he had touched something very hard. Jing Bai had lived in this cave for a long time, so there shouldn't be any miscellaneous items in this cave. Jing Bai took the item that was placed in his hand and looked at it. He realized that it was actually a very exquisite ring.
Jing Bai had never seen such an exquisite thing. Even if such a thing existed, it would usually be in the Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes' hands.
The Crystal Rock Illusion Snakes hardly gave the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes any opportunity for enjoyment. The appearance of the ring reminded him of Lin Yuan's words about leaving him a gift.
Lin Yuan had intentionally instructed Jing Bai on how to use it. At present, he activated his spiritual energy and projected it onto the ring as Lin Yuan had instructed.
Jing Bai's breathing quickened. If he had not been mentally prepared, he would definitely have cried out in shock.
Jing Bai saw that this spatial equipment contained numerous crystals and round pearl-like things. The crystal contained a large amount of pure spirit qi. The pearl also contained extremely pure water-elemental energy. These things could increase Jing Bai's strength in an extremely short period.
Compared to the items in this spatial equipment, what astonished Jing Bai even more was the realization that the meeting held among the constellations was actually real. It was equivalent to telling Jing Bai that his wish could really be fulfilled in the future. He was no longer a lonely and pitiful person. Now, he had officially found an organization.
Jing Bai knew how important this ring was to him, so he didn't put it on. Instead, he opened his mouth and took it, keeping the ring below his molars, tightly clamped by his jaw muscles. He would secretly use these resources in an uninhabited place. If he could not hold back and used these resources now, the pure spirit qi in the crystal and the pure water-elemental energy in the pearl would immediately alert the others in the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes.
Given the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes' current situation, those fellows would most likely report their private stash of resources to the inspectors in exchange for some benefits. If not for the fact that the Purifying Water Illusion Snakes were rotten to the core, Jing Bai would not mind giving these resources to them.
Jing Bai took two deep breaths and forced himself to calm down. He was looking forward to the next Astronomical Parliament meeting.
…
After a week, Lin Yuan called Autumn over and asked him, "How are the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons doing now?"
Autumn knew very well that Lin Yuan had not gone to see the captured Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons in the past week because Lin Yuan wanted him to polish off those individuals' rough edges.
Autumn reflected that both the leader of the Spinning Wings White Falcons, Bai Yunzong, and the Second Elder of the Crimson Heaven Falcons, Chi Zhentian, had already adjusted their stances and wanted to submit to Sky City from the bottom of their hearts.
It was Lin Yuan who wanted to take these people under his wing, and not Autumn. Now, Autumn's capabilities were stretched to their limit in managing the situation with the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons.
"Young Master, I've completed and handled everything that needed to be said or done. You can take over the captured Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons at any time.
"One of the individuals captured from the Crimson Heaven Falcons is the Second Elder, representing their top combat power. We've managed to loosen the tongue of the Second Elder. Feel free to inquire about anything you'd like to know from him at any time."
Lin Yuan smiled and said, "In that case, Autumn, why don't you take me to take a look and understand the situation? It's time to take in the Spinning Wings White Falcons!"
Sky City now could develop the territory of the Spinning Wings White Falcons. However, developing the territory would require the cooperation of the other species in the territory.
The Spinning Wings White Falcons were not the only ones in the territory. There were also their dependent species who listened to their orders. If Lin Yuan wanted to develop the Spinning Wings White Falcons' territory without any bloodshed and obtain the support of these species, the Spinning Wings White Falcons had to cooperate fully.
Lin Yuan wanted to complete the development of the Spinning Wings White Falcons' resources as soon as possible so that the faith country could continue to develop at its current speed. Therefore, controlling them was something that Lin Yuan urgently needed to do.
As for the Crimson Heaven Falcons, their territory was vast, and the Spinning Wings White Falcons were just one of their dependent species. In the short term, Lin Yuan wouldn't be able to develop the territory under the Crimson Heaven Falcons' jurisdiction, so any actions against them could be postponed for later consideration.
What Lin Yuan truly wanted to know was why the Crimson Heaven Falcons had remained in this barren area for so long and what they were waiting for.
If whatever the Crimson Heaven Falcons were waiting for was only beneficial to them and didn't serve Lin Yuan's interests, then he would not need to concern himself and Lin Yuan would not mind fulfilling the Crimson Heaven Falcons' wish.
However, if the resources that they were waiting for were also useful to Lin Yuan's feys, Lin Yuan would not mind snatching their resources to benefit his own feys.
In the Sky Beyond the Clouds, the strong were respected. If Lin Yuan indeed took action against the Crimson Heaven Falcons, they wouldn't dare to make any response.
Up until now, the Crimson Heaven Falcons had robbed countless species of their resources. Those species whose resources had been robbed had now obediently submitted to them. Lin Yuan believed that the Crimson Heaven Falcons would not make a mistake.
The Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons had been relocated by Autumn and were now stationed at the plaza on the western side of Sky City.
Autumn was very clear about his intentions. These Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons would either completely submit to Lin Yuan or Autumn would eliminate them, leaving no room for potential threats and giving them no chance to reveal Sky City's situation to the outside world.
…
Ever since Bai Yunzong saw the Sky City on Sky Sea's back, he realized how powerful the factions targeting the Spinning Wings White Falcons were.
However, there was no need for Sky Sea or the Sky City itself to be used to mark Sky City's extraordinariness. Liu Chen, Liu Yao, and Spring, Summer, and Autumn were enough to prove how powerful Sky City was.
Bai Yunzong had not seen the Young Master that Autumn had mentioned after being captured for so long. He felt a little uneasy. He was afraid that the Spinning Wings White Falcons would be abandoned by this faction.
Bai Yunzong had always thought that the Crimson Heaven Falcons were extraordinary. Even as their dependent species, Bai Yunzong was very confident that his species could be valued by them. However, he didn't have much confidence in facing this expert with several exceptionally powerful abilities and a faction that could build a huge faith country in a short period.
Over the past few days, Bai Yunzong had been restraining the Spinning Wings White Falcons in Sky City. He was afraid that some ignorant member would cause trouble for him. Bai Yunzong's control over the Spinning Wings White Falcons was much better than Chi Zhentian's control over the Crimson Heaven Falcons.
Chi Jue kept a very low profile, looking like a prisoner. However, Chi Ling didn't seem to have the awareness of being a prisoner.
Chi Ling did not cause any trouble. However, he heavily scolded a Spinning Wings White Falcon who offended him, as though they were still the dependent species of the Crimson Heaven Falcons.
Currently, on this plaza, the Spinning Wings White Falcon and the Crimson Crimson Heaven Falcons were on an equal footing.
Chi Ling's attitude clearly showed that he had no awareness of being a servant.
Upon seeing that Chi Zhentian didn't immediately intervene to restrain Chi Ling, Bai Yunzong shot a look at the Spinning Wings White Falcons who were being disciplined by Chi Ling, prompting the member to express apologies to him.
With the Crimson Heaven and Spinning Wings White Falcons preparing to submit, a competitive relationship had already formed between the two sides. The Crimson Heaven Falcons clearly did not take the Spinning Wings White Falcons seriously and did not approve of this competitive relationship.
Bai Yunzong was ready to manipulate the situation to suppress the Crimson Heaven Falcons, securing more opportunities for the Spinning Wings White Falcons among the Sky City leaders.
Since the Crimson Heaven Falcons were stronger than the Spinning Wings White Falcons, it was crucial to begin strategizing immediately to elevate the latter's status.
