Chapter 401 Return to the Emperor's Plane and Hand Over the Territory
On the edge of the battlefield, several Yan Hai Plane Professionals stood on the defensive line, observing the situation on the Emperor Plane's side.
They occasionally released some skills, attacking the land outside the defensive line to prevent Emperor Plane Professionals from infiltrating.
The defensive strength here seemed ordinary, but Fang Che perceived that many Eight-rank Professionals of the Yan Hai Plane were hidden in the dark.
These powerful Professionals used covert Observe skills to prevent Emperor Plane Professionals from escaping with their territories and to prevent anyone from infiltrating.
However, all their Observe skills were distorted by the aura of the Emperor Plane, and no one could discover Fang Che.
Fang Che continued forward, quickly passing through the defensive line underground and officially entering the battlefield.
As soon as he entered the battlefield, Fang Che felt as if he had arrived in another world.
The surrounding bloody smell became more intense; although he was underground, Fang Che felt as if he was soaking in blood.
Not only that, but the space here was extremely unstable, and the aura of a domain could often be felt.
However, since this place was in the peripheral area of the battlefield, there were no powerful Professionals fighting here.
And the skills released by the Yan Hai Plane defenders only left a few pits on the ground and did not affect Fang Che.
Fang Che safely moved away from the Yan Hai Plane's defensive line, no longer subjected to attacks from the Yan Hai Plane's defenders.
However, the number of patrolling Yan Hai Plane Professionals around him had increased significantly.
Among the patrolling Professionals, Fang Che also saw three Professionals who had come with the guards.
Fang Che ignored them and continued to move underground.
After moving for another distance, Fang Che saw a group of Seven-rank Professionals from the Yan Hai Plane gathered in a circle.
In their midst, the soil turned into turbid flowing water, constantly swirling.
After the water swirled for a moment, an Emperor Plane Professional wearing a cloak was flung out by the water!
The Yan Hai Plane Professionals simultaneously released skills, besieging this person.
Seeing this, Fang Che did not offer aid; he merely quietly changed his direction of movement, moving away from this area.
Suddenly, Fang Che detected an abnormal spatial fluctuation, and his expression changed slightly as he quickly retreated.
The next second, domain power gathered around him, and then spatial cracks opened, and a violent suction enveloped those Yan Hai Plane Professionals.
These Yan Hai Plane Professionals, affected by the suction, could not stand firm, and the skills in their hands also deviated.
The exposed Emperor Plane Professional, seeing this situation, turned and ran.
However, he hadn't run long before the surrounding domain power suddenly surged, erasing those spatial cracks.
The Yan Hai Plane Professionals instantly broke free from the suction's influence and pursued the exposed Emperor Plane Professional.
Next, the surrounding domain power continuously increased, frequently opening spatial cracks, which were then quickly erased.
Fang Che felt the two completely different forces within the spatial cracks and knew that the Nine-Order Soul Master of the Emperor Plane and the Yan Hai Plane were fighting each other.
One side wanted to help the Emperor Plane Professional escape, while the other wanted to capture the Emperor Plane Professional.
After a brief struggle between the powerful Professionals, the Yan Hai Plane Professional ultimately gained a slight advantage, killing the Emperor Plane Professional on the spot.
As soon as the Emperor Plane Professional died, the domain power instantly disappeared.
A Yan Hai Plane Professional quickly found a carp from the Emperor Plane Professional's Relics and turned to run towards the Yan Hai Plane.
After the others divided the remaining resources, they protected the person who had obtained the carp and returned together towards the Yan Hai Plane.
After these people left, Fang Che continued to move towards the Emperor Plane.
Subsequently, Fang Che frequently encountered Emperor Plane Professionals who were being besieged.
Due to insufficient numbers, these besieged Emperor Plane Professionals simply could not survive.
Fang Che, cautious all the way, ignored all the besieged people and simply focused on his journey.
After a long time, Fang Che saw the defensive line on the Emperor Plane's side and the defenders on the city wall.
The number of defenders on the Emperor Plane's side was also not large; they were also releasing skills to attack the areas outside the defensive line to prevent infiltration.
At the same time, many powerful Professionals were hidden around, using covert Observe skills to observe the surroundings.
Everything was no different from the Yan Hai Plane's side.
Fang Che also saw many Emperor Plane Professionals who had successfully plundered territories emerge from underground and quickly move towards the front line.
Fang Che did not emerge from underground; he still moved cautiously towards the Emperor Plane's defensive line.
Now, Fang Che had not yet left the battlefield; if the enemy launched an attack and the powerful Professionals on the Emperor Plane's side could not rescue him in time, Fang Che would be doomed.
It would be too unlucky to be attacked due to carelessness when he was so close to the finish line.
Fang Che moved even more cautiously.
After some time, Fang Che successfully entered the defensive line area.
The next second, a soul appeared before Fang Che and said, "You're safe. Come with me."
Then, the soul moved towards the ground, and Fang Che followed closely.
Not long after, Fang Che emerged from underground and followed the soul to a house, where he met a Nine-Order Soul Master.
Fang Che immediately bowed: "Greetings, Junior."
The Nine-Order Soul Master smiled and said, "You've worked hard. Now you can give me the Plane you plundered."
"Yes, sir." Fang Che immediately took out the storage ring containing the territory and handed it to the Nine-Order Soul Master.
After the Nine-Order Soul Master checked the carp stored in the storage ring, he took out a token, drew a carp pattern on it, and then handed it to Fang Che, saying:
"This is your reward. Use the token to communicate with the Plane Will and redeem your reward. Of course, I suggest you find a team to help you redeem the reward; that way, you'll get more rewards."
Fang Che bowed and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior. Do you have any other instructions?"
The Nine-Order Soul Master said, "If possible, I hope you will accept more territory-plundering missions in the future. Other than that, there is nothing else. You may rest."
"Junior bids farewell." Fang Che left the room, and the soul that had guided Fang Che immediately walked up to him and said, "Follow me; I'll take you out of here."
Fang Che bowed and said, "Thank you for your trouble."
A moment later, Fang Che moved away from the front-line battlefield and arrived at the area where Fang Che used to capture the Criminal and submit missions.
The soul pointed to the nearby teleportation array and said, "I'll see you off here. You can leave through the teleportation array."
The soul turned and left.
Fang Che respectfully bowed to the soul's retreating figure, then entered the teleportation array, heading to the area with the least rule restraint.
Then, Fang Che hid in an unmanned corner and quickly returned to his Plane.
Upon returning to his Plane, Fang Che took out the sword item and cut all the territory previously plundered from the Yan Hai Plane into rubble.
After retaining a portion of the rubble as the foundation for a teleportation array to the Yan Hai Plane, Fang Che mobilized Plane energy to wash over the other rubble.
+++
Chapter 402: Space Dominance skill and Curse Space skills
After the Plane energy washed over it for a period of time, the aura of the Yan Hai Plane within the rubble completely vanished, and it was immediately fused into the Plane by Fang Che.
After Fusion of a small portion of the rubble, the losses from the forcible promotion of the Plane Rank cap to Rank 8 were completely restored.
As the Fusion of rubble continued, the Plane expanded rapidly.
Once all this rubble was devoured, Fang Che set up a Formation as before, burying the Death Sculpture and Concession Token.
With these matters handled, the energy within the Plane immediately experienced explosive growth.
Subsequently, Fang Che shifted his attention to the Tribal Professionals.
Ever since the Plane Rank cap was raised to Rank 8, many Professionals had failed at Skills Creation, and in order to collect the Materials needed for Skills Creation, they submitted requests to Fang Che to exchange resources.
However, because Fang Che had been anxious to plunder the territory of the Yan Hai Plane, he had delayed their requests for a few days.
Now that he had free time, it was the perfect opportunity to look into it.
Under Fang Che's focus, the Soul fragments immediately displayed the resources and requests submitted by the various tribes.
Fang Che quickly recorded their reasonable demands on paper, and then began the Creation of professions.
Brand new professions were born one after another, and the Qi emitted by these professions intertwined, helping the Plane develop rapidly.
When the number of professions reached the limit, Fang Che discovered that the Plane's development state had reached a very strange condition at this moment.
To the naked eye, the Plane Rank cap seemed capable of advancing to Rank 9 at any moment.
However, after careful Observe, he discovered that the Plane Rank cap seemed locked, as if it could never advance to Rank 9.
Fang Che was somewhat confused and silently chanted: "Observe."
The Illusory Eyes appeared out of thin air to carefully monitor the situation of the Plane, and soon understood the reason: the Plane's control over space was too weak.
Only by fully mastering the Plane's spatial power and allowing the spatial power to spontaneously protect the Plane could the promotion standard be met.
According to the information prompts seen by the Illusory Eyes, to fully master spatial power, one needed to set up teleportation Formations in every corner of the Plane to gather and constrain spatial power.
Once the Tribal Professionals entered a teleportation Formation every time they teleported, rather than other places, the standard for advancing to Rank 9 could barely be met.
Once the spatial power could spontaneously lock onto the activity area of strange enemies, then it would be one hundred percent possible to advance to Rank 9.
Seeing this information, Fang Che thought of the Planes he had invaded, as well as the situation of the Emperor Plane.
Those weak Planes basically had no teleportation Formations, and when invading these weak Planes, the weak Planes could only discover Fang Che's initial point of invasion.
If Fang Che changed direction, the weak Planes could not determine his specific location at all, and could only let weak Professionals search everywhere, without any target.
However, the Emperor Plane and the Yan Hai Plane were different.
In these two Planes, the Plane Will always locked onto the target first, then issued missions, letting the Professionals go to fixed areas to search.
This kind of spatial locking ability posed no threat to Fang Che, and Fang Che could easily dodge it; therefore, Fang Che had not paid much attention to this matter.
Unexpectedly, this was actually the foundation for the Plane Rank cap to advance to Rank 9.
However, thinking about it carefully, this kind of spatial ability was quite good; if Fang Che did not have the Illusory Eyes, he certainly would not have been able to escape the locking of spatial energy.
Fang Che continued to check the specific information, and then learned that there were different levels of spatial locking ability.
The highest level was Level 1, which could lock onto the enemy's specific location at any time.
Under Level 2 status, it could lock onto an activity area of one hundred square kilometers of the enemy; every time it locked on, the spatial energy would lose control, and it would take five minutes before it could lock onto the target again.
Under Level 3 status, it could lock onto an activity area of one thousand square kilometers of the enemy, and it would take one hour before it could lock onto the target again.
Level 4 was ten thousand square kilometers, and it took four hours to re-lock the target; Level 5 was one hundred thousand square kilometers, and it took eight hours to re-lock the target.
These eight hours belonged to the limit state and would not continue to extend; however, the locked area could continue to expand.
Fang Che recalled the missions he had previously accepted from the Mission Hall and discovered that the Emperor Plane's spatial locking ability had only reached Level 4.
Having taken so long to reach Level 4, it was easy to imagine how difficult it was to improve the spatial locking ability.
Fang Che continued to learn information through the Illusory Eyes, and then discovered that even if he provided the best resources, it would take three thousand two hundred and fourteen years to raise the Plane Rank cap to Rank 9.
Fang Che did not want to waste so much time, so he continued to use the Illusory Eyes to learn information.
Not long after, Fang Che found a shortcut: the Creation of spatial skills.
As long as Fang Che mastered spatial skills when advancing to Rank 8, he could utilize these spatial skills to rapidly develop the Plane.
The more powerful the created spatial skills were, the faster the Plane Rank cap would advance to Rank 9.
Of course, as the Plane controlled more spatial power, the usefulness of spatial skills would decrease.
Now, there were two choices before Fang Che: one was to create spatial skills and rapidly develop the Plane.
The second was to create other skills and let the Plane develop slowly.
After a moment of thought, Fang Che decided to create spatial skills.
Because the Emperor Plane was currently at war with the Yan Hai Plane, once one side won, it would inevitably devour the other Plane and receive all-around enhancement.
If the victorious Plane, after being enhanced, could directly lock onto the Fang Che Plane, then Fang Che would not even have a chance to run away.
Therefore, he had to speed up now and raise the Plane Rank cap.
He did not seek to defeat the enemy, but at least he needed the ability to resist.
Thinking of this, Fang Che continued to Observe the Plane, looking for spatial skills suitable for his advancement to Rank 8.
The first spatial skill quickly appeared before Fang Che.
This was a skill for escaping, which could ignore most of the enemy's spatial locks and directly escape back to the Fang Che Plane.
If he mastered this skill, Fang Che would have a retreat route when plundering Planes in the future.
If only the first skill was so powerful, the skills discovered next would surely be even stronger!
After a moment of slight excitement, Fang Che continued to Observe the Plane, looking for more and more powerful spatial skills.
Subsequently, more and more spatial skills were seen by the Illusory Eyes.
And the last skill discovered by the Illusory Eyes was named: "Space Dominator."
The ability of this skill was to know all information related to space and to use these spatial abilities!
This skill was very powerful, and the Materials required for Skills Creation were also relatively numerous and precious.
However, Fang Che believed he could gather these Materials.
Immediately after, Fang Che sought out suitable spatial skills based on the situation of the Emperor Plane, preparing to deceive the Emperor Plane in the future and cover up the "Space Dominator" skill.
Not long after, Fang Che found a skill named: "Curse Space."
This skill allowed Professionals to use various spatial abilities in areas with sufficient curse energy.
And after being improved by the Illusory Eyes, as long as there was curse energy in the surroundings, one could perform various spatial abilities.
Of course, as the skill was enhanced, the restrictions also increased accordingly.
In places where curse energy was scarce, the success rate of performing spatial abilities would be lower.
+++
Chapter 403 Exchange Resources
After successfully improving the Curse Space skill, Fang Che began searching for various materials for Skills Creation.
After finding some usable materials, Fang Che recorded the missing resources and then returned to the Emperor Plane.
Upon returning to the Emperor Plane, Fang Che went directly back to the Iron Hand Group and knocked on Li Xing's door.
A moment later, Li Xing opened the door, and Fang Che asked with a smile, "Brother Li, how have you been lately?"
Li Xing was slightly stunned, then excitedly said, "This is great, you're finally back!"
Previously, when Fang Che went to the Yan Hai Plane to plunder territory, Li Xing thought Fang Che would return very soon.
However, he didn't expect that most people returned with their territories, but only Fang Che was nowhere to be found.
Later, some Professionals from the Yan Hai Plane left the front lines and returned to the interior of the Yan Hai Plane.
From that moment on, fewer and fewer Professionals successfully returned to the Emperor Plane with their territories.
Li Xing initially thought Fang Che was delayed by something else.
But as time went on, Li Xing increasingly felt that Fang Che had met with an unfortunate end!
Some time ago, Li Xing was already preparing to build a memorial for Fang Che, but he didn't expect Fang Che to miraculously return!
Li Xing smiled and said, "Come, let's talk in the room."
Fang Che nodded and walked into Li Xing's room.
Li Xing closed the door and asked, "You were late in returning, and everyone in the group was very worried about you."
Fang Che said, "I apologize for making everyone worry. The reason I was late in returning was because I found some resources in the Yan Hai Plane and wanted to mine some."
Li Xing shook his head and said, "Unmined resources are watched by the Plane Will; this is much more difficult than plundering Plane territory."
Li Xing felt that Fang Che was just wasting his time and should have plundered territory and returned earlier.
At this moment, Fang Che took out a thumb-sized precious resource and said, "I successfully plundered some resources and want to exchange them for some materials."
Li Xing saw the aura emanating from the thumb-sized material, his eyes widened in disbelief, and he asked, "How did you do that?"
Fang Che put the material away again and immediately told his fabricated lie:
"After the Yan Hai Plane was invaded, they wanted to quickly cultivate strong individuals, so they arranged for people to mine resources. I eliminated some of the people mining resources and brought back the resources they had mined."
Li Xing was still incredulous.
Even if resources are mined by Professionals, the Plane Will can still observe them.
Daring to seize these resources basically means there's no way to survive.
Fang Che being able to survive might mean he has mastered some special methods.
Li Xing did not continue to press the matter, but instead said, "Just tell me what resources you need, and I'll help you exchange them."
Fang Che immediately took out his list of missing materials and asked, "See how many of these materials can be gathered?"
Li Xing took the list, took out a brush, and while examining it, circled or drew horizontal lines next to certain materials.
After reading all the information, Li Xing said, "The unmarked materials can be provided to you now. As for the circled materials, we can find a way to get them for you in the future. For the materials with horizontal lines, I am powerless."
Upon hearing this, Fang Che took out the token given to him by the Nine-Order Soul Master and said, "This was given to me by a Nine-Order strong individual after I plundered territory;
I hope Brother Li can use the token to communicate with the Plane Will and help me exchange for the materials with horizontal lines. If there's anything left, you can exchange for the circled materials."
"No problem." Li Xing readily agreed, took the token, and put it into his Niwan Palace. Then he took out the iron hand gang badge and communicated with the Plane Will.
A moment later, vast and ethereal Plane energy enveloped Li Xing's body.
Fang Che sensed the Plane energy and found that it was now rigid and stagnant, unlike its former lively state.
This clearly indicated that the Plane Will had shifted its attention elsewhere and had set up rules for automatic resource exchange.
In front of such pre-set rules, even if Fang Che openly took out resources from the Yan Hai Plane, he would not be discovered by the Plane Will.
Fang Che relaxed slightly, and after waiting quietly for a moment, Li Xing's communication with the Plane Will ended.
Li Xing opened his eyes, took out a pile of materials, and said, "All the marked materials have been exchanged, and one percent of the unmarked materials have also been exchanged;
According to what I understood before, the earliest batch of Professionals who plundered territory couldn't exchange for so many materials;
It seems that the increased difficulty of plundering territory now has caused the Plane Will to raise the rewards."
Fang Che took the materials, examined them carefully, and smiled:
"The gains and risks are balanced, which is normal. Next, I'll trouble Brother Li to calculate the price of the remaining resources. Brother Li, you can tell me which type of material you want to exchange for."
Then, Fang Che took out nineteen thumb-sized materials, each type different.
Previously, Fang Che had plundered a total of one hundred and twenty-seven types of materials from the Yan Hai Plane.
Among them, nineteen types of materials were relatively abundant, so Fang Che planned to use these nineteen types of materials to exchange for the resources he needed.
Li Xing saw these nineteen types of materials and curiously asked, "How much of these materials do you have?"
Fang Che replied, "At least two catties of each type!"
Li Xing's eyes widened in disbelief.
Two catties of material sounds like very little, but if used for setting up formations, two catties of material could set up dozens of powerful formations.
If used for refining tools, it could refine hundreds of tools; if used for refining pills, it could even refine tens of thousands of pills.
Moreover, Fang Che had at least two catties of each type of material!
Originally, Li Xing only thought Fang Che had plundered a small amount of material from the Yan Hai Plane, and he really didn't expect there to be so much.
Then, Li Xing began to take deep breaths, trying to calm himself down.
Seeing Li Xing's expression, Fang Che somewhat regretted saying too much.
In fact, regarding the materials, Fang Che had lied; the nineteen types of materials he presented actually had at least thirty catties.
Fang Che was worried that Li Xing would think too much, so he deliberately understated the amount of materials, but he didn't expect that he still said too much.
A moment later, Li Xing regained his composure and said, "Please wait a moment, I will calculate the value of the materials you need right away."
Then, Li Xing diligently calculated the value of each material, while Fang Che waited silently.
A moment later, Li Xing said, "You need a lot of materials, but their value isn't high. If exchanged with the lowest value materials, you only need to give me twenty-six liang of resources. If exchanged with high-value materials, seventeen liang will suffice."
Fang Che nodded and asked, "Brother Li, which material do you want?"
Li Xing pondered for a moment and asked, "Can you give me some of each type?"
Fang Che nodded and said, "No problem, Brother Li, you decide how much material you want."
"Thank you." Li Xing grinned and began to examine the resources, stating the required quantities.
Ultimately, Fang Che paid twenty-one liang of resources, successfully completing the transaction.
+++
Chapter 404: Promoted to Level 8, the upper limit of the plane level reaches Level 9
After Fang Che handed the Yan Hai Plane resources to Li Xing, Li Xing also took out the resources Fang Che needed and gave them to him.
Fang Che put away all the materials and said with a smile, "If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
Li Xing reminded him, "There's nothing else, but I suggest you don't plunder Planes anymore. Plundering Planes is too dangerous now."
"Thanks for the reminder, farewell." Fang Che smiled faintly, didn't give a clear answer, and left directly.
Leaving that place, Fang Che found a hidden spot and returned to his Plane.
From all the materials, Fang Che selected the materials for creating the Space Dominance skill and the Curse Space skill, then took out a small knife and cut off materials as thin as a strand of hair.
The subsequent actions were the same as when he broke through before: first, he closed the Plane Passage, then adjusted the Plane's terrain, arranged the formation for skill transformation, and buried most of the materials for the Space Dominance skill and a small portion of the materials for the Curse Space skill.
In an instant, the Plane's aura became chaotic, and everything was as before.
Fang Che calmly returned to the Emperor Plane, set up a formation, placed most of the materials required for the Curse Space skill into the formation, and cast the Create skill.
In an instant, the Plane Will focused on the area where Fang Che was, and vast, ethereal Plane energy enveloped Fang Che's body.
The Plane energy gathered this time had a hint of agility compared to the Plane energy that had enveloped Li Xing before.
This clearly indicated that the issue of Skills Creation was more important, and the Plane Will chose to observe it personally.
Not long after, the Plane Will approved the Curse Space skill that Fang Che had improved.
A 'quasi' character condensed in Fang Che's Niwan Palace, and at the same time, Fang Che also perceived that the rules of the Curse Space skill began to favor him.
Fang Che could now arrange the awakening ritual, master the Curse Space skill, and advance to Eighth-Order!
Fang Che waited quietly for a few seconds, and after the Plane Will no longer focused on him, he quickly left the place.
Fang Che quickly found an area with weak Plane rules, took off his clothes, endured the pain, inserted the hair-thin materials for the Space Dominance skill into his body, and then drew a formation on his body.
A moment later, the formation was complete. Fang Che injected energy into the materials inserted into his body, using them as a transfer station to move the energy to the formation and activate it.
After the formation was activated, the rules of the Curse Space skill became even more favorable to Fang Che, and infinite Plane energy gathered towards Fang Che's body.
The formation absorbed energy and gradually disappeared.
At the same time, the pattern of the Curse Space skill also condensed on Fang Che's curse master gem.
When the formation on Fang Che's body completely disappeared, the Curse Space skill pattern was also fully formed!
At this moment, Fang Che successfully advanced to Eighth-Order!
The curse master gem began to release energy, strengthening Fang Che's body, strengthening Fang Che's skills, and strengthening Fang Che's Curse Tools.
A moment later, the strengthening ended, and Fang Che mastered all the power of an Eight-Order Professional!
Fang Che put on his clothes, quickly left the place, found another hidden and unobserved location, and returned to his Plane.
At this moment, all the energy of Fang Che's Plane was gathered around the formation, and areas of the Plane lacking energy already showed signs of collapse.
Fang Che silently atomized his body, merged into the Plane, then mobilized the Plane rules, and cast the Create skill towards the formation area.
The materials for the Space Dominance skill buried in the formation instantly melted, transforming into rule power and merging with the Plane.
At this moment, Fang Che had successfully created the Space Dominance skill.
Fang Che remembered that when he created skills before, the Plane would enter a state of exhausted potential, unable to develop.
However, this time, after creating the skill, the state of exhausted potential was intermittent and very strange.
Fang Che didn't think too much, re-gathered his body, walked into the formation, and activated it with energy.
After the formation was activated, it erupted with strong suction, drawing out the power of the Curse Space skill from Fang Che's body and integrating it into the hair-thin Curse Space materials underground.
After most of the Curse Space skill's power was absorbed, the materials previously inserted into his body also erupted with suction, drawing the power of the Space Dominance skill into his body.
A moment later, the Curse Space energy in Fang Che's body completely disappeared, and the Space Dominance skill completely merged into Fang Che's body.
At the same time, the pattern belonging to the Curse Space skill was replaced by the Space Dominance skill pattern.
At this moment, Fang Che had completed the skill replacement.
With the skill replacement complete, the curse master gem once again released energy, adjusting Fang Che's physical state.
Making Fang Che's body more suitable for the Space Dominance skill.
When the adjustment was complete, Fang Che was truly considered to have successfully advanced to Eighth-Order!
Under the influence of the Space Dominance skill, Fang Che instantly understood a lot of knowledge about space.
Fang Che looked at the Plane and instantly understood why the Plane's potential was now intermittent.
When Fang Che created the Space Dominance skill, he had exhausted all the potential the Plane had accumulated before.
However, in the subsequent development of the Plane, it no longer needed the previously accumulated potential, but rather the power of Space Dominance.
As long as the power of Space Dominance was strong enough, the potential would be infinite.
And the Space Dominance skill was incredibly familiar with spatial power, directly granting the Plane infinite potential.
The former potential was exhausted due to the Creation of the Space Dominance skill, and the Space Dominance skill, in turn, gave the Plane infinite potential.
Due to the existence of the Space Dominance skill, the two states of potential intertwined, thus forming the current state where potential was intermittent.
After understanding the situation, Fang Che directly let the "Space Dominance" power envelop the entire Plane.
In an instant, the Plane's potential directly reached an infinite state, and the Plane's level cap instantly advanced to Ninth-Order!
Immediately after, Fang Che re-opened the Plane Passage and continued to understand the Plane's information.
A moment later, Fang Che had a deeper understanding of his Plane.
Although Fang Che's Plane's level cap had now advanced to Ninth-Order, it was incredibly weak compared to the Emperor Plane and Flame Sea Plane, which were also Ninth-Order.
It was not only the difference in the strength of Professionals, but more so the difference in the size of the Planes.
A colossal Plane like the Emperor Plane could accommodate more spatial energy, and spatial energy could attract energy from different professions.
As long as the Emperor Plane was willing, it could quickly cultivate Ninth-Order Professionals, while Fang Che Plane now struggled even to cultivate Eight-Order Professionals.
Not only that, but when a Plane's area reached half the size of the Emperor Plane, spatial energy would also grant the Plane special hidden abilities.
The Flame Sea Plane's area was similar to the Emperor Plane's, so it must have also mastered special hidden abilities.
Fang Che curiously shifted his attention to the previously devoured Flame Sea Plane territory, observed it carefully for a moment, but saw no information.
Fang Che shook his head, no longer paying attention, but instead took out the materials needed for various Tribal Professionals to create skills, and directly sent them into the Niwan Palace of each Tribal Professionals' Manager.
Afterward, Fang Che walked towards the location of the exploitation formation.
+++
Chapter 405: Eighth Level Dividends
Since the last time the Plane's state recovered, Fang Che reopened the Exploitation Array and allowed the Tribal Professionals to cultivate again.
By now, the Exploitation Array had accumulated a significant amount of energy.
Fang Che entered the Exploitation Array and absorbed the energy stored within it.
The energy rapidly surged into Fang Che's body, quickly helping him complete one-tenth of his energy accumulation.
At this point, the energy Fang Che absorbed suddenly decreased ten thousandfold because the energy accumulated by the Exploitation Array had been exhausted.
The reason he could still absorb energy was that the Professionals were cultivating, and the Exploitation Array was plundering a portion of the energy from their cultivation and storing it.
This energy was too little, so Fang Che directly stopped cultivating.
As for the Exploitation Array, Fang Che did not close it; not only that, but he also relaxed the cultivation level for the Tribal Professionals, allowing all Professionals to cultivate.
Currently, the Fang Che Plane has unlimited potential, and the cultivation of Tribal Professionals will not affect the Plane's development as it did before.
Therefore, Fang Che needed to accelerate the cultivation speed of the Tribal Professionals to help the Exploitation Array store energy.
Afterward, Fang Che took out a pile of dividend tokens.
These dividend tokens were given to Fang Che annually by Li Xing after Fang Che was promoted to Seven-rank Professional.
Originally, Fang Che was going to use the dividend tokens to exchange for promotion resources, but he forgot about it because he was in a hurry to break through to Eight-Order Professional.
Of course, these dividend tokens would not be wasted; Fang Che still had Curse Tools that needed to be strengthened and Tribal Professionals who needed to be cultivated, so these dividend tokens might not even be enough.
Now that Fang Che had been promoted to Eight-Order Professional, his strength was comparable to that of Leader Su Ye, and he might receive more dividends.
Thinking of this, Fang Che took the dividend tokens and returned directly to the Emperor Plane, heading to the Iron Hand Group.
The moment he approached the Iron Hand Group, its array entered a semi-activated state, and then, more than a dozen Seven-rank Professionals rushed out from within, looking at Fang Che with great vigilance.
However, after they clearly saw Fang Che's appearance, their vigilant gazes instantly disappeared, replaced by expressions of disbelief.
A few seconds later, Li Xing stepped forward, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked in disbelief, "May I ask if you are Fang Che... Senior Fang?"
Fang Che returned the greeting, cupping his hands, and replied, "I am indeed Fang Che, Brother Li, there's no need to be so polite."
Li Xing saw Fang Che, an Eight-Order Professional, bowing to him, and instinctively bent his waist even lower.
However, upon hearing Fang Che's reply, Li Xing suddenly felt a bit lost and didn't know what to do.
Not long ago, everyone was a Seven-rank Professional, so how did Fang Che get promoted to Eight-Order Professional so quickly?
Is it that easy to create an Eighth-Order Skill?
The other Seven-rank Professionals of the Iron Hand Group also looked equally bewildered.
As for Fang Che, they had only heard of him before.
They had only met Fang Che once when the Leader was seriously injured.
But when the Leader was seriously injured, Fang Che was only at Six-rank strength.
How did he inexplicably get promoted to Eight-Order Professional now?
Even if he obtained more resources during wartime, it shouldn't be this fast.
The Seven-rank Professionals present had all fought hard for resources!
After a moment, Li Xing, who often interacted with Fang Che, was the first to calm down.
Li Xing said, "Senior Fang, please come to my room so we can continue our discussion."
Fang Che said, "Brother Li, just call me Fang Che. Please lead the way."
Li Xing did not dare to call Fang Che his brother.
Fang Che had lived in the group for a very short time and usually didn't come back unless there was something important. Li Xing couldn't gauge Fang Che's temper, and their relationship wasn't particularly close.
However, since Fang Che had said it, Li Xing didn't dare to refuse and could only respectfully call out, "Brother Fang, please follow me."
Fang Che noticed Li Xing's restraint, felt helpless, and didn't say much, only stating, "Okay, then let's go to Brother Li's place."
Afterward, Fang Che followed Li Xing to Li Xing's residence.
After Fang Che left, the remaining Seven-rank Professionals stood in a daze for a moment before returning to their residences, still somewhat out of sorts.
On the other side, after Li Xing led Fang Che to his room, he respectfully said, "Please sit."
After Fang Che sat down, he saw Li Xing standing respectfully beside him, felt a bit uncomfortable, stood up, took out the dividend tokens, and said,
"I won't sit. I came here this time to exchange for a batch of resources, and also to ask if the dividend tokens can be increased. If the dividends are increased, what do I need to do?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xing took out paper and pen and said, "Brother Fang, you can write down whatever you need to exchange for;
As for increasing the dividends, you don't need to do anything extra. As long as you stay in the Iron Hand Group, you can draw 10% of the Iron Hand Group's annual income as dividends, the same as the Leader;
In the future, if Brother Fang helps the Iron Hand Group complete some tasks, he can also keep all the rewards for himself."
Fang Che nodded with relief upon hearing this, then picked up the paper and pen to write down the materials needed to strengthen the Curse Tool.
After writing down all the materials, Fang Che took out the dividend tokens and said, "Exchange as much as you can."
"Yes, sir." Li Xing respectfully took the list, then took out various materials and handed them to Fang Che.
Fang Che looked at these materials and found that their value was 30% more than the dividends.
Although Li Xing used to give Fang Che some discounts, this was the first time Fang Che had seen such a high discount.
Fang Che felt awkward accepting it directly but also couldn't refuse, so he could only ask, "Brother Li, is there anything you need my help with?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xing asked excitedly, "I want to know, is there any trick to creating an Eighth-Order Skill?"
Upon hearing this, Fang Che really didn't know how to answer.
He could create Skills entirely by relying on the power of his Illusory Eyes and the Plane he controlled.
Without these conditions, Fang Che would not be able to create powerful Skills.
Fang Che's experience in Skills Creation was unusable for Li Xing.
As for creating Skills to deceive the Emperor Plane, he also created them based on the basic rules of the Emperor Plane and had not studied them in depth.
Fang Che could not expose his secrets and said,
"Many people in the Emperor Plane have been promoted to Eight-Order Professional. Has Brother Li learned anything about this aspect?"
Li Xing said helplessly, "The Iron Hand Group is too weak to obtain the experience of other Eight-Order Professionals in Skills Creation. Although the Leader left a copy of his experience, it's not suitable for me, and I really don't know what to do."
Fang Che was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't really explain the experience, but if Brother Li trusts me, I can help you create a Skill that can help you promote to Eight-Order Professional."
Upon hearing this, Li Xing asked excitedly, "Is that true?"
Fang Che nodded gently and said, "Of course, Brother Li, as long as you tell me your physical condition and issue a task to me with rewards in the name of the Iron Hand Group, I can help you."
Li Xing said excitedly, "I will issue the task later and make sure the rewards are sufficient. As for my physical condition, it is like this..."
