After Lin Feng’s star ascended to the Heavenly Level Ninth Rank, and after devouring the mountain range, he immediately left it.

He did not continue the devouring but headed towards Tushan Town.

He planned to return to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, partly to send Feng Shaoyu, Jun Wuxi, and others there, and partly to gather the entire sect’s strength to help hunt demon beasts and obtain beast souls, which would speed things up significantly.

Moreover, returning to the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace wouldn’t waste much time; he could use the travel time to comprehend mystical techniques.

Lin Feng, having left the Divine Martial Academy, had been heading towards Tushan Town’s direction, and he was now only two days’ journey away.

Sitting cross-legged on a lifebound spirit sword, Lin Feng controlled the sword while traveling and comprehended the devouring mystical technique.

He didn’t dare to waste a moment, striving to break through to the Martial Emperor Realm before the battle with Leng Jiang.

Two days passed swiftly, and by noon, Lin Feng arrived at Tushan Town.

Flying over the mansion of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace, Lin Feng smiled as he looked down at it.

In less than two months, the mansion had expanded more than threefold since he left, now resembling a small city.

Moreover, when he left, the mansion was very shabby, almost like a slum.

But now, white jade paths, pavilions, and magnificent palaces had all been built.

"Not bad!" Lin Feng was very satisfied with this, and he landed directly on a square within the mansion.

"The Palace Master has returned!"

"The Palace Master has returned!"

"Greetings to the Palace Master!"

The Heavenly Vault Divine Palace was in an uproar as some disciples who saw Lin Feng exclaimed loudly.

In an instant, hundreds of disciples and elders of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace flew over to him and greeted him respectfully.

"Relay my order, let all those above the Martial King Realm come here," Lin Feng instructed loudly while standing in the square.

Martial artists below the Martial King Realm can only hunt low-level fierce beasts, which is of no use; he needed to send those above the Martial King Realm out.

"Yes!" They took the order, but before they spread the word, the strong members of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace hurriedly came over.

Zhan Luan, Xi’er, and other rulers of the Nine Palaces, along with elder martial artists like Emperor Shih and Hai Mingjiang, all arrived.

In just a moment, the square was crowded.

Lin Feng had no choice but to order all those below the Martial King Realm to leave and go back to cultivate.

Confronted with Lin Feng’s command, no one dared to resist, and they all left the square.

"Palace Master!"

"Palace Master!"

A crowd of powerful people from the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace greeted Lin Feng.

Lin Feng nodded slightly, his eyes sweeping over everyone, and he nodded internally.

There were more than twenty thousand people left on the square, meaning there were over twenty thousand people with cultivation surpassing the Martial King.

Moreover, many people’s cultivation had improved significantly compared to when they were in the Heavenly Vault World.

For instance, Yin Tianchou, Lin Feng remembered that before leaving the Heavenly Vault World, he was only at the Sixth Layer of the Martial King Realm, and now he was at the Seventh Layer.

And Luo Qianfan, who was only at a half-step Martial King Realm at that time, was now at the First Layer of the Martial King Realm. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

The spiritual energy from nature here was dense, surpassing the Heavenly Vault World by ten times; be it the cultivation environment or resources, everything was way better than the Heavenly Vault World.

The rapid improvement in everyone’s strength was reasonable.

"Everyone, I’m back this time for a task I need you to undertake!" Lin Feng addressed the crowd loudly.

"Palace Master, there’s no need to be so formal, just give your orders!"

"Yes, please instruct us, Palace Master!"

"Palace Master, whatever you say!"

Upon hearing this, many immediately spoke up, their voices overlapping.

The Palace Master needed help, and they naturally wouldn’t shirk their responsibility.

Lin Feng nodded, raising his hand slightly to signal for quiet. Once the crowd was silent, he said loudly, "Everyone, leave Tushan Town and go hunt fierce beasts and extract their beast souls."

"Extract beast souls?" The crowd was momentarily stunned but not too surprised, as many knew Lin Feng could devour beast souls.

"Extract beast souls from fierce beasts of Level Six and above, as many as possible, and bring them to me within ten days!" Lin Feng instructed clearly.

There was only half a month left to see if he could ascend his star to the Heavenly Level Ninth Rank, which would depend on them.

Of course, he wouldn’t be idle during this time, as his devouring speed was faster than all of them combined.

"Yes!" They responded in unison.

At this moment, Xi’er had a thought, and she smiled, "Brother Lin Feng, now that our Heavenly Vault Divine Palace controls the entire Tushan Town, the former dominant Tu Family and many small families have submitted to us, we can also command them."

Xi’er knew in her heart that Lin Feng’s sudden return to have the crowd collect beast souls was an urgent effort to elevate the star’s level, so she thought of mobilizing all manpower.

"Is that so? That’s wonderful!" Lin Feng was delighted; the more people, the more beast souls they could gather.

"Xi’er, I’ll leave this task to you!" Lin Feng said to Xi’er.

"Brother Lin Feng, rest assured, I will complete the task perfectly!" Xi’er replied playfully.

Afterward, the powerful members of the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace left to hunt fierce beasts.

Of course, to ensure there were people to guard the sect, Lin Feng had Cai Yun and Qing Ya stay behind.

Both had cultivation at the Ninth Layer Peak of the Martial Emperor Realm, close to the strength of a Martial Emperor Realm strong person, and were sufficient to sit at the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.

Soon after, Lin Feng released Feng Shaoyu and Jun Wuxi from the Jade Bracelet Space and let Cai Yun and Qing Ya make arrangements, after which he also left the Heavenly Vault Divine Palace.
