Lord Survival: Start with planks to build an island empire

In the core area of ​​the seventh-level authority area, in the heart of Wanjie City, stands a magnificent palace. It seems like a monument between heaven and earth, witnessing countless storms and vicissitudes.

Inside the palace, people flowed in a constant flow, yet order was maintained. Surrounding it were densely packed guards, who stood tall and had sharp eyes, guarding this holy place that symbolized supreme power.

Even if passers-by occasionally caught a glimpse of a glorious corner of the palace, they would usually pass by in a hurry, not daring to stop for even a moment, let alone look directly at its majesty.

In this Wanjie City, everyone knows that this palace is the foundation of Hua Lao Palace. Although it is not the top one, it is powerful enough to firmly occupy the second tier among the forces created by the Jieyun Envoy.

At this moment, in a room deep in the palace that seemed ordinary but actually held a secret, an old man was sitting upright on a simple cushion with his eyes closed, concentrating. An indescribable calmness and depth surrounded him.

His gaze penetrated the constraints of space and locked onto the crystal clear ball in front of him. There, the turbulent changes on the Ten Thousand Races List were being reflected in real time.

This old man was none other than the founder of Hua Lao Temple - Hua Pinfeng, a legendary figure respected as "Hualao" in Wanjie City.

The crystal ball in his hand is not only a treasure that can give him insight into the dynamics of the Ten Thousand Races List, but also an important tool for him to control the overall situation and make plans. It can cross thousands of mountains and rivers and gather information from every branch of the Hua Lao Palace, allowing him to grasp the situation with unprecedented accuracy.

As the latest report came from below, Hua Lao's eyes suddenly opened, and two sharp rays of light shot directly into the crystal ball, as if trying to see through the virtual list.

Every name on the Ten Thousand Races List represents a legend, and at this moment, a rising star named "Bodhisattva" is rising at an astonishing speed, which has aroused Hua Lao's great interest.

"Bodhisattva... What kind of story and power is hidden behind this name?" Hua Lao murmured to himself, and his tone contained surprise at the unknown, admiration for the rise of the strong, and an indescribable expectation and desire.

Hua Pinfeng knew very well that in Wanjie City, a world full of strong people and the survival of the fittest, a name that could quickly emerge and cause such a sensation was by no means an ordinary person.

Hua Lao speculated that this "Bodhisattva" was most likely a member of a new batch of disaster messengers who would descend on Wanjie City every few years, bringing new blood and changes to this land.

The rise of "Bodhisattva" may be the harbinger of a new round of changes, indicating that the entire Wanjie City is about to usher in an unprecedented turmoil.

Thinking of this, Hua Pinfeng's eyes flashed with determination, and he issued an order without hesitation: "Go and investigate quickly, I want to know all the information about this 'Bodhisattva'! Whether it is his origin, when he entered Wanjie City, or his cultivation level and combat record, I want to know it clearly!"

Hua Pinfeng's voice was deep and powerful, revealing an unquestionable majesty and determination. He had obviously regarded "Bodhisattva" as a potential rival or a like-minded ally, or even a key figure who could stir up the situation in Wanjie City.

……

At the same time, in another special area of ​​Wanjie City in the seventh-level authority area, there is also a force called Guiyao Mansion.

In the territory belonging to the Guiyao Mansion, there is a special cave.

at this time.

The cave is quiet and deep, as if it is another world isolated from the rest of the world.

The soft candlelight flickered, reflecting on the cave wall, outlining a series of ancient and mysterious totems.

In the center, a handsome young man sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and concentrated. The faint spiritual energy surrounding his body was like a trickle of water, flowing slowly, or like clouds and mist, making him look otherworldly, like a celestial being descending from the sky.

The young man had a gaunt face, sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and a faint smile on the corners of his mouth. Even when he closed his eyes to rest, one could feel the calmness and confidence emanating from him.

His hair was as black as ink, casually draped over his shoulders, swaying gently in the breeze, adding a touch of elegance and unruliness.

However, this tranquility did not last long. With the sound of hurried footsteps, a subordinate in a black robe rushed into the cave, looking solemn, as if he had something important to report.

The young man's eyes suddenly opened, and a pair of vertical pupils suddenly lit up in the darkness, flashing a strange and deep light, as if they could penetrate all illusions and see through the essence of all things in the world.

"Why are you so flustered?" The young man's voice was low and magnetic, with unquestionable majesty.

The black-robed subordinate bowed and replied respectfully, "Young Master, there are new changes on the Myriad Races Ranking. A mysterious strong man named 'Bodhisattva' suddenly appeared, and quickly climbed up the Myriad Races Ranking with amazing strength. In a short period of time, he has already reached the 180th floor of the tower, attracting widespread attention from strong men of all races."

Hearing this, the young man's lips curled up into a playful smile, his eyes sparkling with excitement and anticipation.

"Oh? Such a person actually appears on the Ten Thousand Races List? This is really unexpected, and also makes people look forward to it." He whispered to himself, as if talking to himself, or as if conveying his thoughts to his black-robed subordinates.

As a young leader in Wanjie City, the young man has always been proud of his own strength and regards the Ten Thousand Races List as a yardstick to measure his own strength.

Although he himself is young, he has proven his strength and wisdom in countless battles.

Young people are proud of this.

However, he also knew that in this world full of strong people, there would always be more powerful beings waiting for him to challenge.

The appearance of "Bodhisattva" undoubtedly made the young man see such a possibility.

Although the Bodhisattva's current strength may not pose a threat to him, he has the potential to do so.

"What a 'Buddha'! I want to see how far you can grow and whether you have the potential to make me take action!" The young man whispered to himself, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

He stood up, his figure as straight as a pine tree, and the energy fluctuations surrounding his body became increasingly intense, as if it would burst out with astonishing power at any time.

Seeing this, the black-robed subordinate secretly marveled at the young master's strength and decisiveness. He did not say much, but quietly stepped aside and waited for the young master's next instruction.

The young man took a deep breath and looked outside the cave with sharp eyes.

"Get ready, we'll set off immediately." The young man said to his black-robed subordinate. Although his voice was calm, the firmness and determination contained in it could not be ignored.

The black-robed subordinate was startled when he heard the words and bowed quickly to obey the order.

The subordinates in black robes knew their young master's character very well. Since the young master had made the decision, they had no choice but to obey his orders unconditionally.
