Chapter 986: Chapter 495: Road Tax_2

Once I enter the Country of Mourning, I can bring in the Nine Realms Sky and achieve my goal." Lachlan Ashen was full of confidence.

The witch priests’ inheritance of the 36 Tribes of the Northern Region has a long history and many unimaginable methods, which are even more bizarre than the stealth cultivators of Sang Island. Lachlan Ashen believed that Owen Bertram would be utterly "amazed" when encountering his witch priest inheritance.

...

"Destroy the city!" Sun Daren slammed the recently delivered report on the table in front of him, his eyes full of murderous intent: "The Demon Clan has infiltrated!"

Greystone stepped forward to volunteer: "I am willing to go! I will capture the Demon Clan and bring them to justice!"

Owen Bertram pondered for a moment, but just then, the Abyss without Bottom in East Immortal Lake trembled three times. An invisible energy wave spread throughout the lake, leaving the water crystal clear. However, the entire lake overlapped with another world, and everything in that world seemed to ripple and sway with the water waves.

"The Country of Mourning has opened..."

Countless voices screamed, and anyone could see that if they jumped into the lake, they could enter that world. For a moment, countless cultivators emerged from hiding, either flying on swords, riding clouds and fog, or using divine skills to teleport into the lake.

Sun Daren shook his head gently, not stopping them this time.

Firstly, these cultivators were well-behaved, not causing harm to civilians with their fighting techniques. Although he was an important official of the Imperial Court, could he prevent them from treasure hunting? Secondly, it’s hard to persuade the dead ghosts. Sun Daren probably wouldn’t listen to their pleas anyway.

They never thought about why the Country of Mourning was different from the other Extinction Domains of the Wood Dynasty. What cultivation level were they at, and why did they feel that after entering, they would rely on their "luck" to gain benefits instead of becoming fertilizer for the entire Extinction Domain?

Owen Bertram didn’t need to worry about capturing the Great Demon anymore. All the strange creatures came here only for the Country of Mourning. Greystone, the foolish girl, once eagerly asked: "Sir, let me go in and meet them!"

Sun Daren disdainfully asked, "Are you stupid?"

"Huh?" Greystone was dumbfounded by the scolding and saw Sun Daren standing up and waving his hand outwards by the lake, saying, "Let them all enter, but they must come out no matter what they find inside. We’ll just guard this exit and collect taxes. People must pay if they want to pass through!

As for how much tax to collect, our Horizon Bureau has always been casual, don’t you think?"

Greystone’s eyes lit up. Sir was indeed more cunning! Ah, no, more brilliant.

"But..." Greystone hesitated, "With such a large East Immortal Lake, you can’t always cover it with your domain, sir." Even the Sixth Realm wasn’t invincible, and usually, a cultivator would only open their domain during battle. Maintaining it for too long would exhaust even the Sixth Realm.

Sun Daren smiled slightly and said, "I have a solution for that. You go and assemble the cultivators we’ve subdued and divide them into five teams with you and four other Sixth Realms, each leading one team. The little guys who aren’t worth my time will be left to you."

Greystone accepted the order and assembled the subdued cultivators and her own elite Horizon Bureau troops into five teams. While they were dividing the work, everyone suddenly noticed something unusual and looked in a certain direction. They saw Sun Daren rising into the air, covering the entire East Immortal Lake with his domain, and then waving his hand, releasing a golden light.

This golden light was an unknown divine power that dyed the entire East Immortal Lake a transparent pale gold color! Then the radiance vanished in a flash, making everyone think that there was some change in East Immortal Lake, but they couldn’t understand what it was. Even the four Sixth Realms cultivators couldn’t comprehend it, and they realized there was an immeasurable gap between them and Sun Daren, making their losses not unjust.

With the Pardon Authority, Sun Daren endowed intelligence to the water of the entire East Immortal Lake, turning it into a special kind of "life." However, due to the vast amount of water, the overall intelligence was low, about equivalent to Sun Daren’s previously owned dog in his past life.

The entrance to the Country of Mourning overlapped with East Immortal Lake, so whenever someone came out of the lake, the water would secretly "woof" to Sun Daren.

It was a simple task, even suitable for a dog.

Although Sun Daren’s arrangement was made on a whim, it wasn’t "hasty." He also wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to truly cultivate a "Water Spirit."

Owen Bertram had previously used the Pardon Authority to provide the Chaotic Demon with water armor. However, in each battle, that kind of water spirit had been killed prematurely. This time, Sun Daren prepared to carefully protect and cultivate it towards the level of a Boundary Flower.

As the intelligence was low, this life form didn’t seem much different from ordinary lake water, and the four Sixth Realms cultivators didn’t notice anything unusual.

Greystone had great confidence in Sun Daren, and she faithfully executed his commands, scattering the five teams in five directions. She didn’t care about the cultivators rushing into East Immortal Lake, but if anyone came out, they would have to pay taxes first, or not even a mosquito would be able to pass through!

During the three days when the Country of Mourning reopened, countless cultivators from various places arrived. At first, they quickly "rushed" through the levels to avoid the obstruction of the Horizon Bureau. Later, they found out the Horizon Bureau had no intention of stopping them, and the word quickly spread. Many cultivators who were initially hesitant about entering the Country of Mourning due to the Horizon Bureau’s presence also came to try their luck.
