Chapter Index

    Xuewei and others are not stupid, how could they not foresee what kind of situation they would be in once Yuan was allowed to truly control the entire Xingyuan?

    But they are still driven by Yuan because they have no way to resist.

    But since it was not voluntary, there would naturally be some calculations in mind, such as what Xing Zhou did.

    “Si Sheng wants to talk to him?” Lu Ye asked.

    Si Li asked: “Do you think it’s feasible?”

    Lu Ye pondered for a moment and shook his head slowly: “Xing Zhou may have some ideas, but after all, there is a Golden Eyed Clan behind him living in the Origin Realm. He didn’t do anything too obvious this time, that is, he has scruples. Especially after our defeat and abandonment of the city, if we go to him, he will definitely not express his position.”

    After hearing this, Si Lili thought for a while and nodded: “You are right, Xingzhou is very cautious in his actions. Not to mention whether I have a chance to meet with him alone, even if I have, given our current situation, he is definitely not willing to join forces with us.”

    “So we have to find a way to create an advantage so that Xing Zhou has no worries.” Lu Ye’s eyes flashed, “In this way, there may be hope of winning over the first half-saint!”

    The biggest problem for our side now is that there are too few strong men. There are indeed many half-saints, but most of them are dragon half-sages. Yuan’s small trick has completely wiped out this advantage. The rest are basically new ones. The only two truly strong men with background are him and Si Li.

    If Xing Zhou can be pulled into his own camp, the situation will undoubtedly be much better.

    “But…” Si Lili looked worried, “Can we still create an advantage in our current situation?”

    Dragon City has been abandoned, leaving only a phoenix nest. Although it occupies a favorable location, it can only have a delaying effect. Sooner or later, the enemy will come to the city. With the absolute military disadvantage, how can it be an opponent?

    Lu Ye lowered his head and moved his gaze slightly downward: “It depends on people.”

    After all, what happened to Xingzhou was just the speculation of Si Lili and Lu Ye. No one knew what was going on in people’s minds, so they couldn’t count on it. As the saying goes, you need to be strong yourself. Only if you are strong enough, others will make things better.

    And when you are strong enough, it doesn’t matter whether you have the icing on the cake or not.

    After a while, Si Li left.

    Even if Xuewei and others want to target Fengchao, it will not be a matter of time. Since ancient times, the location of Fengchao has been a mystery. Except for the Phoenix clan itself and a few dragon clans, no one knows the specific location of Fengchao.

    Even if someone has heard about it, they only have a rough idea.

    So now we still have some time to prepare for war.

    Lu Ye spent several days recovering from his injuries.

    It wasn’t until a few days later that his physical condition returned to its peak, then he slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to take off the Panshan knife from his waist, and placed it horizontally on his knees.

    “Are we going to start?” came the voice, which was a bit exciting and expectant, but also mixed with fear and uneasiness, which was extremely complicated.

    “砠…” Lu Ye gently stroked the blade.

    “Hey, don’t talk nonsense.” Liu interrupted him, “What we have deduced before is that the probability of success is very high, and there is basically no possibility of failure. Aren’t Jinyao’s Soul-Calming Bell and Little Black Coffin a successful example in front of us?”

    Lu Ye sighed: “Even so, you are different from them after all.”

    Jinyao’s soul-suppressing bell and the black coffin that were originally refined were only treasures, but the Panshan sword was a partner and relative to Lu Ye. Lu Ye did not dare to take risks with it, so even though he and Li had deduced the matter, they never took action.

    “It’s no different. I am also a treasure. I can do the soul-suppressing bell and the little black coffin. Of course I can do it too!” Lu’s voice was loud and clear. “Besides, Senior Sister Shang sacrificed herself in order to achieve my success. Now when you have to rely on me, how can I be timid? Doesn’t that mean I’m sorry for Senior Sister Shang’s original efforts? You have to know that I have inherited everything from Senior Sister Shang!”

    Lu Ye was silent, his brows filled with hesitation.

    Lu Ye had some worries as early as when he had reached the ninth level of perfection in the secret method of inner world.

    His cultivation method was obtained from the ancestors of Dragon and Phoenix. Since joining the Tao, his strength has improved rapidly. However, this cultivation system has come to an end. How can he improve his strength in the future?

    Of course, he could also practice orthodoxly like other monks and carve Tao marks into his own Tao body, but that would be too inefficient and there would be no time at all.

    In addition, it is to improve the quality of one’s own Taoist soldiers. This is the path Ba Qiu took at the beginning, because whether he or Lu Ye, the Taoist soldiers who rely on the Taoist clan are soldiers, so the improvement of the quality of the Taoist soldiers can also make their strength and foundation stronger.

    To improve the quality of the soldiers, they have to fight bloody battles with the enemy. In the process of fighting, the soldiers will devour the mystery of the treasure.

    This restriction is too big. First of all, you have to find a treasure suitable for devouring, and secondly, you have to find a comparable opponent, which is quite risky.

    That’s why Ba Qiu needed to accumulate so many years before taking that final step.

    Until one day, when Lu Ye was devouring the treasure to improve the quality of the soul-suppressing bell, he suddenly said: “Lu Ye, can we let your talent tree swallow me up, and then swallow other treasures to nourish me?”

    Lu Ye was startled when he heard this. The first thought that came to his mind was that he was a bit fanciful, but then he realized that this might not be a fanciful idea, but a fantastic idea.

    Because in this way, you will have the opportunity to grow quickly, and you can completely avoid the restrictions and risks of the orthodox military clan.

    Afterwards, one person brainstormed various ways to deduce the feasibility of this matter.

    Finally came to a result – completely feasible!

    But Lu Ye didn’t do this, because if he really did, the beast would become a fruit on the talent tree!

    It is a treasure, but it is also a soldier. Although it has no flesh and blood, it is still a living being.

    It is different from Jin Yao’s soul-suppressing bell and the ignorant little black coffin.

    Lu Ye couldn’t predict whether there would be any risks after it became a fruit.

    He always knew that in the process of devouring the treasures, the talent tree would retain part of the mystery. This part of the mystery would become the nutrients of the talent tree itself, so the more treasures it swallowed, the greater the power of the talent tree would be.

    But today, it seems that it’s time to take this step!

    Lu Ye’s current strength and foundation alone would not be able to cope with the upcoming crisis. Although Si Lili was stronger than him, Si Lili could not become stronger in a short period of time.

    Therefore, Lu Ye needs to become stronger. Not only to resolve future crises by himself, but at least to have a chance to become stronger.

    “Let me ask you a question.” Seeing his hesitation, Luo spoke again: “Even if you don’t devour me, will you be separated from me in the future?”

    “Of course not!” Lu Ye responded solemnly.

    This sword has been with him since the beginning of his practice. Later, he got a beast, swallowed it, and transformed into its original appearance. It can be said that this sword has witnessed his path of practice.

    They are partners, friends, and relatives.

    How could it be discarded?

    “Then it’s over.” He said, “Since you won’t be separated from me, what difference does it make if you swallow it or not? After swallowing it, I will really depend on you for life and death after I turn into a fruit. Okay, don’t be nagging, and hurry up. Don’t hinder my plan to become stronger. I can’t wait to feel it.”

    Lu Ye laughed.

    Speaking of which, it would be hypocritical for him to act like a mother-in-law.

    Moreover, the situation was such that neither he nor Li had any choice.

    “That’s it!” As Lu Ye spoke, without hesitation, he raised his hand and pulled out the Panshan Sword.

    The next moment, the power of the talent tree was activated, and invisible roots spread out like spiritual beings, wrapping around the entire long sword.

    Before making the decision, Lu Ye felt uneasy, but after he actually took action, his heart felt peaceful.

    The power of the talent tree is activated, and the invisible roots penetrate into the Panshan knife, swallowing up the mystery within it.

    Lu Ye concentrated his mind and guided the mysterious gathering talent tree that was swallowed up.

    After a while, the corners of his eyes twitched: “Don’t disturb my mind by whining!”

    A mean voice came: “Sorry, it’s a bit too itchy. It feels like someone is scratching me. I’ll hold it down tighter!”

    After a moment, Lu Ye’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He regretted saying what he had just said because the sound of “hold it tight” was even more disturbing.

    He just couldn’t understand how a soldier with no flesh and blood could feel tickled.

    He could only focus more.

    It has to be said that after inheriting the foundation of Shang, the foundation of Xiu is indeed much stronger than that of ordinary treasures.

    This can be clearly felt from the process of swallowing up the talent tree.

    Compared with other treasures, the mystery contained inside the wolf is much richer and richer.

    Following Lu Ye’s guidance, a bulge soon formed on a branch of the Talent Tree, and then it quickly blossomed and bore fruit. When the fruit was fully mature, it suddenly turned into the appearance of the Panshan Sword, which was just a Panshan Sword shrunk countless times.

    Jin Yao’s figure suddenly emerged from the soul-suppressing bell. He looked at the Panshan Sword with a look of astonishment on his face: “Isn’t this your saber? How come it was devoured and refined by you?”

    Lu Ye did not respond to her. At this time, his expression was extremely solemn.

    Just because of that, Lu Ye’s mean voice suddenly disappeared. No matter how Lu Ye shouted, there was no response at all.

    This made his heart sink to the bottom, wondering if there was an accident.

    But thinking about it carefully, there were no twists and turns in the whole devouring process. Everything went smoothly. After all, he had devoured so many treasures and had a lot of experience.

    Nothing should go wrong this time.

    “砠, are you trying to scare me?” Lu Ye suddenly thought of a possibility.

    According to the animal’s temperament, this is indeed possible.

    “What?” Lu’s voice suddenly sounded.

    Lu Ye took a long breath and felt relieved.

    “Huh…” Luo said in surprise again, “I’m here, this is the talent tree!”

    It has heard about the talent tree for a long time, but this is the first time it has actually seen it, so it can’t help but be surprised.(End of chapter)
