Plares City

When Ling Chen first arrived in Plares city, he only planned on staying there for a day or two before leaving for Nivarna City. However, he ended up staying for a whole week.

During that time, Ling Chen spent all of his time touring around the city and visiting their most famous sites.

Even though Plares City was considered the most dangerous city throughout the Verid Empire and was filled with powerful criminals, it didn't scare Ling Chen.

With his strength, he was able to walk through the city like it was his own backyard. The level of strength of those so-called evildoers wasn't enough to threaten him.

As such, most of the bandits and slave traders that attacked him during his stay in the city didn't even know how they died or who killed them.

The moment someone tried to harm Ling Chen or followed him, he simply released his God Domain and killed them without even lifting a finger or used his dark tree roots to suck them dry.

Also, after touring the city for a whole week, Ling Chen was able to find two people with great potential and innate talent.

Even though they were both criminals who have committed many evil deeds, Ling Chen still gave them access to the Akasha Spiritual World.

Whether one was the evilest person in the universe or the most virtuous person, as long as they met his requirement or had great innate talents, Ling Chen would give them access to the Akasha Spiritual World.

As for how they were going to use the power and the items they got from the Akasha Spiritual World, he didn't care.

.......

It was already late at night and Ling Chen was quietly resting within his hotel room.

As today was his last day in Plares City, he wanted to have a good night sleep before leaving for Nirvana City, the capital of the Zenus Star.

However, as usual, before Ling Chen went to sleep, he made a quick appearance within the Akasha Spiritual World.

Though it seemed like it's only been a day since he last visited the Akasha Spiritual World, it was, in fact, three months as time flowed differently within the Akasha Spiritual World.

As soon as Ling Chen dove within the Akasha Spiritual World, he saw that Akasha was already there waiting for him as he hovered in the sky.

"Divine Father, you're back," Said Akasha with a cheerful expression on her face.

After coming into the Akasha Spiritual World almost every day for the past week, both Akasha and Ling Chen have grown closer to one another.

At the same time, Akasha learned how to be more relaxed in front of Ling Chen and even joked around sometimes.

"Every time I come here, your world gets bigger and you stronger. So, what's new?"Asked Ling Chen with a slight smile on his face as he patted Akasha's head.

"Well, we now have fifty more new contractors since the last time you came. Like usual, 75% of them went the Light Domain while the other 25% went to the Dark Domain."

"The Light Domain still has more people than the Dark Domain. Even those people invited by the Demonic Shura chose the Light Domain instead when entered the Akasha Spiritual World." Explained Akasha.

"I see. don't worry too much about it. It won't stay like that for too long." Answered Ling Chen with a mysterious smile on his face.

"Other than that, how are the Akasha Mission Hall and the Akasha Store doing?" Asked Ling Chen.

The Akasha Mission Hall was like any Mission Hall in any Sect or institute where one could complete a mission to earn contributions points.

However, while the Mission Hall of a Sect or an Institute were usually limited in a certain area, the Akasha Mission Hall covered the entire Omega Galaxy.

The Akasha Mission Hall didn't have any restrictions or differentiated between good and evil. It didn't matter if one wanted to assassinate someone or destroy a planet.

As long one had enough contribution points or spiritual coins, one could simply post his or her mission on the Mission Hall after paying a certain fee.

If a Contractor simply wanted to obtain a unique item from a faraway location, the Contractor could also create a mission and posted it on the Akasha Mission Hall and asked someone to obtain it for him or her.

It didn't matter if it was a big or a small mission. One could post any mission on the Akasha Spiritual World after paying the appropriate fee.

As for the Akasha Store, it was an exclusive store of the Akasha Spiritual World where things like Battle Techniques, Martial arts, Pills, Artifacts, Dao Law Seeds were sold.

These Artifacts and Martial Arts were all from the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe. As such, other than the Akasha Store, they could not be found anywhere else in the Omega Galaxy.

Unlike the Akasha Mission Hall, the Akasha Store was off-limit to the Contractors. One could only buy stuff from it but not be able to use it to sell their stuff.

"They are getting used to the Mission Hall now. Many of them have posted missions. Most of them were killing missions while some were about finding some rare items and materials."

"As for the Akasha Store, we only sold some Dao Law Seeds which they called Life Transition Stones. As for the Artifacts and the Martial arts manual from the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, they're simply too expensive for them to buy at the moment." Explained Akasha.

"That's pretty good. As for the items in the Akasha Store, you don't have to worry about them. It's still too early for them." Answered Ling Chen.

"Ohh yeah! Remember the people you asked me to keep an eye for, I think I find a clue about one of them."

"You mean the members of the Shadowless Council?" Blurted out Ling Chen with a surprised expression on his face.

"Yes." Hurriedly answered Akasha with a smile on her face.

"Quickly send me all the information." Said Ling Chen with an impatient look on his face.

Despite being a well-hidden and mysterious organization only known by a selected few, Ling Chen had long known about the Shadowless Council through the memories of the Mad Emperor.

Even though he didn't know much about them, he knew that they were extremely dangerous and powerful.

They were the only threat to him as well as his goal to control the Omega Galaxy and the rest of the 8th Ring of the Chaos Universe through the Akasha Spiritual World.

Ling Chen already knew that they would come out hiding when they got wind of the Akasha Spiritual World. However, he didn't expect them to come out so soon.

Nonetheless, he was extremely happy about it as he would be able to take care of them before he left for the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe.

"I see. So, one of them is the master of the leader of the Night Owl Guild which is an influence comparable to that of the Ten Behemoths." Ling Chen said with a slight on his face after Akasha sent him the information.

"That's very good. Akasha, keep an eye on that Nightmare guy. I am pretty sure that they gonna try to use him to get to us and once they do, we'll give them a big surprise." Said Ling Chen with a sinister look on his face.
