Chapter 1496: Supreme Meeting, Begin!
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Braydon Neal shared his experiences in the Spirit Sea with his teacher, holding nothing back, especially about the space battlefield.

Martial Emperor Yanagi maintained his composed expression upon hearing this.

He spoke with the wisdom of a monarch, “The space battlefield’s emergence affects our domain. When necessary, we must seek assistance.”

Expressing his reluctance, Braydon said, “I prefer not to become deeply entangled with the people of the cosmos.”

Martial Emperor Yanagi, standing with hands clasped behind his back, observed the koi swimming in the pond as he continued, “Braydon, the vastness of the cosmos has nurtured countless formidable cultivators. Until you reach the pinnacle, it’s natural to seek aid and walk the path of a sovereign.”

He reminded Braydon of his past strategies, “In your youth, you understood this principle well. Leading the Northern Army with regal authority, you safeguarded the northern desert for miles. You employed your formidable power to assert dominance over rival factions. Have you forgotten these lessons?”

…

Turning to face Braydon, Martial Emperor Yanagi awaited his response.

Braydon remained silent for a while, then rose and bowed respectfully. “Teacher, I will heed your counsel.”

Martial Emperor Yanagi continued, acknowledging Braydon’s early responsibilities and the weight of his present duties. “My Braydon, entrusted with the northern territory in your youth, you’ve since carried the burden of national revitalization. Despite never complaining, the pressures of your youth still linger, causing you to instinctively resist as you mature.”

He elucidated further, “The human race of the cosmos respects and protects you, but also assigns you responsibilities. Your reluctance stems from this internal conflict—you’re wary of becoming too enmeshed with them.

“But Braydon, there are some things you can’t avoid. Your success will bring trouble to the human race in the cosmos. With your temperament, how can you idly stand by?” Martial Emperor Yanagi spoke with conviction.

Born a human, Braydon had no choice but to uphold the responsibilities of his race.

For generations, it was ingrained that the strong should protect the weak and defend the realm of their kind.

Braydon chuckled ruefully. “I understand your point. I merely desire to roam as a lone cultivator. If the opportunity arises, I wish to traverse the stars and encounter other beings.”

Martial Emperor Yanagi reassured him, “Your aspirations align with my guidance. Since your youth, I’ve never restricted your freedom. Similarly, the humans of the cosmos won’t limit you either.”

Their mentorship continued until noon, with Martial Emperor Yanagi inviting Braydon to share lunch in the pavilion.

Progress had been made regarding Laird Xenos and Yuri Qualls’s missions.

Laird had infiltrated the Lowe family, eliminating sixteen individuals and capturing Vaughn Lowe alive.

This yielded vital information implicating numerous influential figures.

Braydon held one steadfast stance: punishment.

Anyone involved in tampering with the Northern Army’s pension would face severe consequences.

Forgiveness was not an option; those marked for Northern Army’s justice could not be spared, even at the risk of the capital.

That day, Laird confronted and vanquished 475 adversaries throughout the capital with his blade.

Yuri, following Kanan Zullo’s lead, launched a brutal assault into Jichita, swiftly dismantling four powerful families and seven aristocratic families in a single night!

Could one faction alone consume all the resources allocated by Luther?

Collusion was apparent.

What added fuel to the fire was the presence of infiltrators at every level, facilitating such rampant greed.

Moreover, a portion of the supplies had been smuggled out of the country, prompting Yuri’s swift and deadly retaliation.

Upon learning this, Braydon promptly quashed the issue, strictly forbidding any discussion within the hall.

Those with concerns were directed to consult Marvin Townsend, head of the Dark Division.

Marvin’s authority was unquestioned; few dared to challenge them.

Once the Dark Division had you in their sights, escape was futile; their prisons ensured that much.

In just three days, the hundred-countries meeting convened in the capital, hosted at the Northern King Residence.

The area was heavily fortified, with martial law enforced across the surrounding streets.

The Dark Division patrolled each intersection, authorized to act swiftly in emergencies, all under the Northern King’s explicit permission.

With the meeting at hand, any mishaps were intolerable.

Representatives from the Ten Great Empires, including Haven Downing of the Alpha Empire and Jaziel Sherman of the Delta Empire, attended.

It was evident that the ten great hidden agents were dispatched to signify their return to Braydon.

They no longer needed to return to their respective empires.

There was no need to conceal their identity as one of the ten great hidden agents anymore.

They could now move around freely.

No one would dare to challenge them!

For if the current Northern King’s cavalry were to be mobilized, they could effortlessly dominate any nation in the world.

The million-strong soldiers of the Northern Army were unparalleled!

The army stood at the pinnacle, with the commander akin to an emperor.

The one who held the commander’s seal was the leader of the ten great armies of the Northern Army.

Under Braydon’s command, the Northern Army had reached unprecedented heights.

In the courtyard of the Northern King Residence, a vast conference room awaited.

Circular in design, it featured a central round table surrounded by three tiers of seating, capable of accommodating up to 500 people!

Braydon arrived early in the morning, finding all the key figures of the Northern Army assembled.

The leaders of the elite forces and the lieutenant commanders of the Northern Army stood outside, ready to listen.

Lazlo Abbot and Lester Crawford were also present.

Gordon Lowe, Blake Matthews, Carl Mason, Zayn Ziegler, and Sammy Dudley had rushed back for the occasion.

Of utmost significance, Martial Emperor Yanagi led Heather Sage, Dominic Lowe, Sawyer Quail, Kieran Normand and Zavier Leach to the meeting.

With most of the Northern Army’s notable figures in attendance, it was evident that Braydon had important news to impart.

Haven, representing the Alpha Empire, entered the venue accompanied by Mute.

Jaziel and Lior Neal, Braydon’s third uncle, had both made their appearances!

All ten great hidden agents were gathered here.

The leader of the group, Haven, knelt down on one knee, cupping his fists as he shouted, “The Northern Army’s No. 1 hidden agent, Haven Downing, greets the commander!”

“The Northern Army’s No. 2 hidden agent, Jaziel Sherman, greets the commander!”

…

“The Northern Army’s No. 10 hidden agent, Shawn Jeffcoat, greets the commander!”

The ten great hidden agents entered the meeting room, paying no heed to anyone else.

Upon seeing Braydon, they immediately greeted him!

“Please be seated,” Braydon said calmly. “Today’s discussion does not pertain to the Northern Army.”

Apart from the representatives sent by the Ten Great Empires, the rest were all lords of their respective countries!

Among them were some familiar faces.

For example, in Banko, several rulers had met their demise at the hands of Braydon, leading to a blood feud.

But what of it?

As long as the Northern King remained alive, no one in the hundred countries would dare to act against him!

The Northern King held dominion over the entire world!

As everyone took their seats, the five hundred available spots in the conference room were all occupied.

During Braydon’s pacification of the 3,000 ruins, he suddenly disappeared, claiming to have entered the Spirit Sea.

Mysterious members of the Neal family then appeared, wielding a formidable force that quelled the unrest in the ruins.

This left all the countries perplexed.

What exactly lay within the Spirit Sea?

Upon his return, Braydon called for the hundred-countries meeting.

What was his intention?

“Luther, please enlighten them about the Spirit Sea,” Braydon said calmly.
