Chapter 3311: How About Building an Undead Empire
The Beast Emperor, like the Three Ancestors, was old and experienced.
Lin Moyu was sufficiently polite, so the Beast Emperor naturally wouldn't be stingy.
Moreover, the Beast Emperor saw Lin Moyu's potential. People like Lin Moyu were rare, with only a few appearing in an entire era. The future achievements of such people were immeasurable.
If you can't kill someone, it's better to befriend them.
The Beast Emperor said, "Generally speaking, there are several ways to handle your own territory."
"The most common way is to do as I have done - establish a force, with you as the king of this force."
"Another way is like the Three Ancestors, infiltrating from various aspects. Actually, the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce isn't as simple as you think. Those things the Three Ancestors do..."
At this point, the Beast Emperor smiled mysteriously and didn't continue.
Lin Moyu heard the implication. Besides the overt Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce, the Three Ancestors' forces must have hidden parts.
This also fit Lin Moyu's impression of the Three Ancestors. They were indeed very likely to do such things.
It's possible that the forces hidden in the dark were even more terrifying than the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce.
Lin Moyu asked, "Besides these, are there any others?"
The Beast Emperor chuckled, "Apart from the methods of myself and the Three Ancestors, there's also ruling like that one in the Boundary Sea."
"However, he has unique advantages that others can't imitate. If you think about it, you should be able to understand the reasons."
Lin Moyu's thoughts raced, and he instantly understood the differences.
The King of the Boundary Sea's biggest advantage was his absolute control over the sea race.
This was different from the Beast Emperor. Under the Beast Emperor were various royal clans and numerous beast race lineages.
Each lineage had its own system, its own living habits, cultivation methods, and ancestors.
And their ancestors might be stronger than the Beast Emperor.
If an ancestor were to revive one day, the Beast Emperor's ruling position could be weakened.
But the sea race was completely different.
There were no lineages in the sea race. Everyone obeyed the King of the Boundary Sea's orders. The King of the Boundary Sea had true absolute power, his word was law.
The Beast Emperor said, "Of the three methods, the Three Ancestors' method isn't suitable for you. You can choose between the other two."
Lin Moyu said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder Beast Emperor. I'll think it over carefully before deciding."
The Beast Emperor chuckled, "There's no rush for this matter. You have plenty of time. Come, let's go see how many good things that old fellow Withering and Flourishing has collected over the years."
The Beast Emperor led Lin Moyu towards Withering and Flourishing Elder's lair.
On the way, Lin Moyu pondered how to handle his new territory.
From the Beast Emperor's words, Lin Moyu could be certain that the amount of territory occupied was very important.
As for where the importance lay, the Beast Emperor didn't say and Lin Moyu couldn't guess, but he could be sure it was certainly very important.
So this territory absolutely couldn't be given to others. It must be controlled by himself.
The several Origin Spirit Veins under the territory must also be controlled by him.
At first, he had thought about moving Dao City here, but now, after hearing the Beast Emperor's words, Lin Moyu decisively abandoned this idea.
Dao City was developing well in the Eastern Continent for now. It didn't need to be moved yet.
Moreover, Dao City already had the Lu Feng Chamber of Commerce, which meant the Three Ancestors' forces had already infiltrated.
This wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but it meant Dao City was no longer completely his own territory. He needed to share a piece of the pie.
The Three Ancestors had always done things this way. There were no major problems. Lin Moyu had never thought of monopolizing it himself. That would only slow Dao City's development.
But for this new land, Lin Moyu didn't plan to let the Three Ancestors get involved. He decided to occupy it himself.
Lin Moyu thought of the simplest method - to build this area into his undead empire.
The King of the Boundary Sea controlled the entire sea race, but each member still had their own thoughts. They might even wonder if the King of the Boundary Sea's actions were correct.
In terms of control, even the King of the Boundary Sea was far inferior to his own undead legions.
The legion commanders also had intelligence, but they would never question whether his orders were correct.
As long as it was an order he gave, even if it was wrong, even if it meant going to their deaths, they would do it without hesitation.
This way, the territory would be his alone. If there were any benefits in the future, they would be maximized.
The Beast Emperor had clearly dealt with Withering and Flourishing Elder before. He went straight to Withering and Flourishing Elder's lair.
This was a huge valley, surrounded by three mountains, with only one entrance.
The Beast Emperor said, "Withering and Flourishing's lair is inside. This fellow has arranged several formations here. It's always troublesome to come here."
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "You've come many times?"
The Beast Emperor said, "I don't get along with this fellow. I have indeed come a few times, but usually I call him out to talk. There are too many formations here. I don't want to go in."
Call him out to talk? It was probably to fight.
Lin Moyu could see there were indeed many formations here.
And the formations were very ancient, carrying an archaic aura. It was clear that Withering and Flourishing Elder had indeed studied formations extensively.
The Beast Emperor said, "Can you handle it?"
The Beast Emperor didn't understand formations well. If he were to do it, he would probably just force his way through.
Lin Moyu smiled and said, "Let me do it. Some of the formations here will self-destruct. If we force our way through, we might damage the things inside."
From these formations, one could roughly judge Withering and Flourishing Elder's level in formations. It probably hadn't reached seventh grade. He wasn't a very powerful formation master.
The only advantage was that the formations he arranged were very ancient, with some research value.
The Beast Emperor said, "Alright, then you do it. That old fellow Withering and Flourishing, his formation skills are actually mediocre, but he especially likes to tinker with this stuff. He's researched for so many years without much progress."
Lin Moyu heard the disdain in the Beast Emperor's words. He smiled and said, "Formations require high talent. Sometimes, if you don't understand, you just don't understand. There's no helping it."
The Beast Emperor deeply agreed. Despite his high realm, he just didn't understand much about formations.
He could figure out those third grade and below formations, but not really anything above third grade.
The formations Withering and Flourishing Elder had arranged here were partly for warning purposes.
Lin Moyu guessed that Withering and Flourishing Elder didn't want to be disturbed. In case he was doing something, he could be warned in advance.
But there was one thing Lin Moyu didn't quite understand. Formations of this level couldn't stop the Beast Emperor at all.
But the Beast Emperor was clearly wary and didn't really want to force his way through.
Perhaps there were some hidden things within the formations.
The Beast Emperor warned, "Be careful when breaking the formations. There's a soul-devouring bug hidden in one of the formations."
"Soul-devouring bugs can cause significant damage to the soul. Even I find them troublesome."
While studying the formations, Lin Moyu asked, "What are soul-devouring bugs?"
The Beast Emperor said, "Soul-devouring bugs are a strange type of insect. Withering and Flourishing pulled them down from beyond the sky once. They're quite troublesome. They can immune most powers. Once bitten by one, your soul will be damaged and it's hard to recover."
Lin Moyu heard the Beast Emperor's wariness. "If soul-devouring bugs are so troublesome, why didn't Withering and Flourishing Elder use them?"
The Beast Emperor chuckled, "It's not that he didn't want to use them. He couldn't use them. He's also afraid of soul-devouring bugs. He could only trap them in formations to act as guardians."
