Just like Leona, after Benny had shown his talents, he had become burning hot in others' eyes.
Warriors of the Fiery Rain Star Area wanted him, and so did the Divine Light and Fighting League. At this moment, the forces staying on the Cloud Sea Star were boiling up because of Benny. They all asked Shi Yan to have this talented commander.
After that battle, Benny's debut had shown off his talents. He had become a character that could call the wind and summon the rain. People directly ignored his low realm as they only considered his talented leadership.
But, Benny listened to Shi Yan, and knew whom he could trust. Thus, he just kept silent.
So, everybody now targeted Shi Yan.
Shi Yan told them that they didn't have the spare efforts to train the corps for different forces. At this moment, they would only help the Fiery Rain Star Area. Afterward, when they had free time, they would discuss this matter again.
He understood that the Fiery Rain Star Area was now bearing a heavy pressure from the God Clan's threat. At this moment, many forces of the Fiery Rain Star Area were facing the God Clan. It was crucial to him and the Fiery Rain Star Area to improve the overall competence of the latter's competence.
Only when the God Clan got damaged would it have no free time to notice the growth of Bloodthirsty's bloodline. It wouldn't pay attention to the Agate Star Area then.
Yu Shan and Xiao En were thrilled on listening to Shi Yan. They felt so lucky, and this trip wasn't in vain. Divine Light and Fighting League felt extremely disappointed. However, Shi Yan didn't have any relationship with them, and he didn't promise them anything.
Shortly after, Shi Yan, Yu Shan, and Xiao En discussed. They agreed to arrange the Fiery Rain Star Area warriors to stay on this Cloud Sea Star.
The Cloud Sea Star was in a corner of the Shadow Ghostly Prison. It was near the space passage hub, and also near the Divine Light and the Fighting League. With the Child Formation, it was connected to the Devil Blood Star. Its location was quite convenient for them.
No matter it was for Leona to come and train, or for the warriors of the Fiery Rain Star Area to return to their headquarters and transport more materials, it was really convenient.
The Cloud Sea Star used to belong to the Dark Shadow Clan, and the Divine Light had claimed the star after that. However, since Shi Yan had rescued three thousand warriors of the Divine Light, they decided to retreat from this place.
If Shi Yan hadn't participated, normally, the Fighting League would take this Cloud Sea Star. Actually, Miao Rong and Xia Xin Yan had planned to claim this Cloud Sea Star.
However, after Shi Yan, Xiao En, and Yu Shan had discussed their plan, they decided to make the Cloud Sea Star their rest stop. So, Miao Rong and Xia Xin Yan didn't hesitate to agree, and declared that the Fighting League wouldn't have any other intention toward this planet.
Thus, the Cloud Sea Star belonged to Shi Yan for the time being, and the warriors of the Fiery Rain Star Area could stay here for a while.
Because of Shi Yan's special relationships with Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao, warriors of the Divine Light and Fighting League could come to the Cloud Sea Star as well. Somehow, this planet had become the communication center of different forces, a crucial place.
With the number of more than ten thousand warriors of the Fiery Rain Star Area here, the other forces in Shadow Ghostly Prison didn't dare to mess up with the Cloud Sea Star. With the Fighting League's backup, no one would come here to court death.
The Cloud Sea Star had been appropriately arranged, but Zi Yao and the Divine Light experts hadn't left yet. They wanted to stay and widen their knowledge when Leona came back. They did want to learn the art of commanding corps.
Shi Yan didn't oppose, so Ju Bo and Sana were happy. They found some islets to stay as guests here.
Xia Xin Yan and Miao Rong hadn't left yet, so the warriors of the Windstorm and Water Moon War Department were also settled on the Cloud Sea Star. They had the same thought as Ju Bo and Sana: they wanted to exchange the excellent tactics and strategic disposition of troops with Benny and Leona.
Of course, Zi Yao and Xia Xin Yan wouldn't neglect Shi Yan. They often met up with him, talking about cultivating methods to seize the chance to be with him.
Time flew hurriedly, and half a month passed by.
Within this period when Leona hadn't arrived yet, Benny had taken the Fiery Rain Star Area warriors to play with him. He had applied many strange and rare methods to train the troops, some of which were unimaginable. For example, he let some warriors with the same power Upanishad use a secret technique to connect their soul altars, which would combine their powers when attacking or defending.
Benny had some secret techniques that could connect people closely. They worked and gave rise to incredible attacks indeed.
He also arranged the warriors with power Upanishads that could support each other into smaller stations. The powers they used could support each other magically. At the same time, he did prepare the formation using different weapons and armors, and also some odd dispositions.
Benny had them all in his head. He just lacked experiences. Today, as he got the Fiery Rain Star Area's volunteers for his practice, he was so happy that he didn't feel tired at all.
Xiao En and Yu Shan had paid close attention. In the beginning, they couldn't ease their mind because they didn't know what he was doing.
However, after ten days, when they saw how powerful their soldiers were when they applied Benny's techniques, they immediately decided to make their troops cooperate their best with Benny, no matter how hard he wanted them to play in the field.
They could ease their minds now, and even thought that if Leona didn't arrive, Benny here would be enough to transform the corps they brought here into a mighty force that could resist the God Clan.
For half a month, Shi Yan often took a walk with Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao around the Cloud Sear Star. When they had free time, they would go to watch the sky and the ocean, putting aside the worries of chaos and the threat from the God Clan. It was a rare chance for them to relax their tense nerves. Shi Yan sometimes tried to understand his power Upanishads as well. Unexpectedly, he did harvest something.
Under the state of his calm mind and soul, when he let go of everything to understand the magnificent natural sights around, it seemed easier to increase his realm.
This finding surprised and cheered him up. All of a sudden, he recognized that he had never had a quiet moment in his life. And, he actually needed time to relax. He should stop somewhere to admire the beauty of Nature, and let his heart and soul feel at peace.
While he sometimes had a flash of recognition of his powers, the tier of power Upanishads in his soul altar would be sparkling with starlight. At the same time, his Life and Death power Upanishad seemed to generate something magical.
He wouldn't try to put his mind to study them, just enjoying those fleeting glimpses. In this state, he felt his soul slowly sublimate. His Ethereal Extent had some changes as he reached the Second Sky of Ethereal God Realm.
He suddenly realized that when he had his soul and body relaxed this time, it was a rare spiritual baptism for him. He really needed this kind of calmness and peace to increase and strengthen his realm.
This kind of peaceful and relaxing life also cheered up Zi Yao and Xia Xin Yan. After the small quarrels they used to have in the beginning, they had become calmer. Sometimes, when they went with Shi Yan to watch the clouds changing in the sky, they could stay silent for a long time as they just simply enjoyed the sweet, comfy moment with their loved one.
It wasn't a short time since the two women had known Shi Yan. However, they had never had a moment when they could ease their mind and enjoy the natural attractions around with Shi Yan.
The days and nights they had spent with this man had always been accompanied by fighting, running, magical encounters, and dangers. There were very little moments they could just stand and enjoy the magic of life without worrying about the chaos behind.
The quiet and cozy life in this Cloud Sea Star was what they had always yearned for. Just like Shi Yan, they also had the chance to relax and open their mind to comprehend the mysteries of their powers Upanishads. They felt that their souls being purified, and something had changed in their soul altars as well.
This wonderful feeling was hard to describe.
Unfortunately, the happy days couldn't last long. On this day, while they were standing on the reef to watch the immense sea with many white waves, they heard Xiao En screaming.
Many warriors of the Fiery Rain Star Area were gathering on the gourd-shaped island far from them. The battleships that had anchored and immerged undersea also floated up. Xiao En and Yu Shan wore a solemn face as they were observing the sky
"What's going on?" Zi Yao's face was cold. "Someone comes to provoke us?"
She felt irritated because her peaceful days were disturbed. She did want to shout and curse.
"Yeah. If it were not someone coming, Xiao En wouldn't be that cautious." While frowning, Shi Yan said, "It should be someone mighty who can threaten Xiao En. Let me check it out."
Then, while closing his eyes, Shi Yan sent a wisp of his Soul Consciousness, which flew like a space saber that could cut off the sky, disappearing into the void.
After ten breaths, his eyes slowly darkened. "It's the Potion and Tool Pavilion as the main force. They also have the Fire Clan, Crystal Clan, and Ice Clan, with around two thousand battleships and thirty thousand warriors!"
Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao changed their complexion.
"They are the force of Second Elder Gu He, right?" Xia Xin Yan threw Zi Yao a glance. "A couple days ago, I received the information saying that the Elder Conference of the Potion and Tool Pavilion ended. Zuo Lou didn't participate in that conference. When we returned from the space passage, Zuo Lou had taken his subordinates and disappeared. No one knows where he is now. He sure knows his fate if the Potion and Tool Pavilion will chase and exterminate him. He has taken action and avoided the danger. With Zuo Lou's absence, in the Elder Conference, Second Elder Gu He took the control. He has vaguely replaced the Pavilion Master. I don't know the details, though. Although Feng Yan was there, she's not a member of the Potion and Tool Pavilion, so she couldn't join the conference. But, I heard that Fu Wei, Bettina, and Zha Duo failed. Fu Wei has to face the wall and reflect on herself..."
Xia Xin Yan frowned deeply while talking. "We don't know what happened inside the Potion and Tool Pavilion's structure. The only thing we can confirm is that the ruling party of the Pavilion now isn't Bettina or Fu Wei. It's Second Elder Gu He."
"Gu He?" Shi Yan contemplated, then looked at Zi Yao.
Gu He and the Divine Light had a close relationship. He thought if Xia Xin Yan knew about the issues of the Potion and Tool Pavilion, Zi Yao must know something as well.
"Gu He's the Second Elder of the Potion and Tool Pavilion. His power in the Potion and Tool Pavilion isn't less than Great Elder Zuo Lou. Today, the cooperation between Zuo Lou and the Dark Shadow Clan has been exposed, so he has lost his party and the ally. Gu He now naturally controls everything. Third Elder Bettina doesn't have a strong background, so she couldn't face Gu He. This time, it wasn't beyond our expectation that Gu He won in the Elder Conference." Zi Yao thought and then said, "Something had happened back in the Elder Conference. But, we don't know the details. We just know that Gu He keeps the Potion and Tool Pavilion's Canon now."
"The one with the Canon will be the Master of the Potion and Tool Pavilion, right?" Xia Xin Yan changed her visage.
"Yeah, the former Pavilion Master of the Potion and Tool Pavilion had his soul vanished. He's not different from a dead warrior now. With the Canon, Gu He only needs to carry out the last ceremony and ritual, and he can be the newly-elected Pavilion Master." Zi Yao nodded.
"Doesn't it say that the one who found the Canon could step on the glorious throne of the Pavilion Master?" Shi Yan was confused.
"I guess Gu He found some reason to blame Fu Wei for something. Otherwise, he couldn't have taken the Canon from her. In short, the current Master of the Potion and Tool Pavilion is Gu He. If not, it would not have been easy for our Divine Light to enter the Shadow Ghostly Prison. Gu He had arranged everything. My teacher has carried out his plan," said Zi Yao.
"Then, why does Gu He come to Cloud Sea Star? From his momentum, I guess he is aiming at the Fiery Rain Star Area warriors." Xia Xin Yan was also confused.
"We will know shortly."
Shi Yan stood up. Starlight swirled around him like a sprinkle which condensed into small meteors. He then shot out in the direction of the gourd-shaped island.
Xia Xin Yan and Zi Yao followed him immediately.
