Around a day later, a new giant building appeared just near the entrance of Casgalas City. Well, it was better to say that many different buildings appeared instead. The System Sect was now at least twice as big than the first time it came out, with much more modern facilities than before. Then again, it was within the size of a big Dimensional Realm that Hilanshi mentioned in the past. So, for those watching it from outside the continent, it was at least acceptable. Of course, it still surprised many.
Roan was in the palace in the city when he saw the sect. However, he didn’t pay too much attention to it since Rean had to be there for the sect to be taken out of the Dimensional Realm. Instead, Roan looked at the few people in front of him. It was Luan, Foxin, and a few tens of cultivators of the sect that had achieved great results in battle-related training. To be more specific, they were very good at concealing, cunningness, sneaking, information gathering, and so on. It was finally time for Roan to put their abilities to use.
“I have a mission for you guys. As I’ve explained before, we have a continental war to win, and I’ll put my best efforts into it. However, a war isn’t won alone. There’s only so much I can do with the power I have at the moment. With that said, I need you guys to leave Walfure Region and spy on the other five regions surrounding us. What I want is simple, detailed information about the enemy’s forces.”
Fosxin immediately asked back. “There will be good rewards from the System Sect for it, right?” In the end, he only cared about getting stronger, as always.
Roan nodded, saying, “Depending on your results, I don’t mind giving you a few Rank Three Divine Stones. But that will only happen if you can surprise me with what you get.”
Immediately, everyone’s eyes lit up. Even Luan didn’t have access to Rank Three Divine Stones. They could already feel how much their cultivation would progress if they got such things.
“I devised your training myself, so I know what you’re capable of doing. Those who weren’t suited for this kind of job didn’t even get the chance to enter your group, and you know that. Do you all have the bracelets Rean forged for you?” Roan asked.
Immediately, Luan, Fosxin, and the others showed their bracelets. They had the same abilities as the other Light Element equipment Rean forged in the past. As long as Divine Energy was poured inside, it would gather Light Element. It went without saying that all these people received training to be able to use the Enhancement skill, Instant Recovery, Light bending, Divine Sense bending, and so on. They couldn’t perform those skills anywhere near Rean or Roan’s ability. However, compared to other similar methods, they were definitely stronger.
“Good.” Roan nodded before throwing a spatial ring for each of the members there. “There are a thousand Rank Two Divine Stones in each of your spatial rings. I’m pretty sure all of you want to sit down right now and start cultivating. However, they’re useless for you guys at the moment. All of you are at the Peak Stage of the Nascent Soul Realm or above. Because of the cultivation suppressing formation, none of you will be able to cultivate right now.”
Roan continued, “Instead, I want all of you to use these Divine Stones for information gathering. Bribe who you have to bribe, kill who you have to kill. As long as the stones are used for the sake of the System Sect, I don’t care how they disappear. Information! That’s the main priority. I want to have an excellent grasp of the overall strength of the five regions around our Walfure Region.”
Luan immediately looked at the jade slip with the maps inside. The maps were far from detailed, they only had the general location of cities and regions, but that was all. “Crimew Region, Povast Region, Invank Region, Legoqer Region, and Antifas Region. Father, will there be enough time to gather information? All of us have received training regarding information gathering from you. However, you know how big regions are in the Realm of Gods. I’m afraid ten years might not be enough even with all our forces.”
Fosxin took a look at the maps as well and nodded. “Luan’s right. Even I would have a hard time getting everything needed within this time frame.” Naturally, the other members noticed the same thing. It wasn’t that they weren’t confident, but that the task would be too unrealistic.
Roan expected that, though. With that, he clarified, “That’s because you intend to get information on every single squad and things like that. However, that’s not what I want. What I want is to know their strengths and weaknesses as a whole. If I attack X country with a Y battle formation by using Z type of cultivators, I can definitely obtain the upper hand regardless of the picture. That’s the kind of information I want you to gather. Considering the scale of this mission, this kind of information will already make a huge difference and can be regarded as detailed as it can be.”
Roan then looked through the window, adding, “There’s no doubt that all the countries in the other regions will focus all their resources on building their armies. There will be plenty of openings for you to enter and retrieve classified information. These kinds of plans will have to be devised far ahead of time, after all.”
Roan looked back at his espionage group after that. “Another good thing you can do is mark down all the important commanders of the enemy forces. As you can imagine, each country will have several armies in various locations. I want the name and location of each of them during the next war if you can. This part should be even easier as they must show themselves at some point.”
Luan’s group nodded after hearing that. “If that’s the information you want, it should be possible.”
