Yiqi Zhi and Gu Yin’s eyes gleamed with excitement as they held the Blood Pills.
They had plotted for twenty years, and today, they finally succeeded!
“Master, see you in the next realm!” Yiqi Zhi said with a smile.
“Great King, see you in the next realm!”
The two of them went into seclusion separately, eager for the realm they had longed for over the past twenty years, now within their grasp.
These changes left many Huns bewildered.
The outside world was completely unaware of the changes within the Huns.
In the Central Plains, the ice and snow had begun to melt, but the grasslands were still covered in snow.
Da Li and Da Chu had stationed troops at the Great Wei border, and Empress Hazel Han urgently deployed more soldiers to the frontier.
In the east and southeast, the atmosphere was tense with the threat of war.
Marquis Harrison Zhou personally oversaw the defenses at Chen Nan Pass.
“What’s the situation?” Harrison called the general guarding Chen Nan Pass to inquire.
“Marquis, Da Chu has sent an additional hundred thousand troops, and two Grandmaster generals are confronting our forces at Fuling City.”
“A hundred thousand troops!” Harrison frowned; this was not a good sign.
Fuling City already had a garrison of a hundred thousand troops, and now with the additional forces, their numbers had swelled to two hundred thousand.
Meanwhile, Chen Nan Pass only had a hundred thousand soldiers from Great Wei.
Half of the General Who Guards the South’s army was still needed to defend the Southern Border against the Miao tribes.
“Marquis, when will the imperial court’s reinforcements arrive?” General Ji Boda asked worriedly.
“They’re on their way and should arrive soon.”
Hearing Harrison’s words, Ji Boda finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If Da Chu decided to attack Great Wei, it wouldn’t be just a hundred thousand troops.
In the east, at Tianmen Pass!
Marquis Shen Jianting of the General Who Guards the East’s army frowned as he read the scouts’ reports.
Da Li had increased their forces by two hundred thousand, bringing their total at the border to five hundred thousand.
With five hundred thousand troops stationed at the border, the pressure on Shen Jianting was immense.
His General Who Guards the East’s army only had three hundred thousand troops.
Da Chu had also stationed troops at the border. If Da Li started a war, Da Chu would surely follow, leaving the General Who Guards the East’s army to fight alone.
“Is Da Li and Da Chu planning to start another war with Great Wei?” Shen Jianting’s expression was heavy.
“Father, Da Li’s forces are overwhelming; we must be on guard!” Shen Liang said.
“The imperial court’s reinforcements are still on the way. Tell the generals guarding each post to stay vigilant. If anyone loses their post, I’ll have their head.” Shen Jianting’s eyes flashed with sternness.
“Yes, Father!” Shen Liang clasped his fists and went to relay the orders.
The eastern and southeastern regions of Great Wei were shrouded in the clouds of war, ready to erupt at any moment.
In the Northern Frontier of Great Wei, however, peace and tranquility reigned, with only the Huns remaining as an enemy.
With Oliver Sheng, the Martial Saint, overseeing the Northern Frontier, Empress Hazel Han had no worries.
Now, the concerns were about Da Li and Da Chu.
As spring gradually returned and the weather warmed, trade and travel flourished, and River West City bustled with activity.
Oliver Sheng spent his days cultivating, refining pills, and drinking and chatting with veterans and subordinate generals, living a leisurely life.
Seeing his subordinate generals reach the Innate Great Perfection, he felt a sense of accomplishment.
His hard work in pill refining had not been in vain, ensuring Wesley Hu and others had ample pills for cultivation.
“When any of you are ready to break through to Grandmaster, come to me for a sixth-tier breakthrough pill,” Oliver told his generals.
The Flood Dragon Devouring Technique was enough to help them break through to the Grandmaster realm.
“General, soon. I feel I can attempt a breakthrough in ten days to half a month,” Wesley Hu said happily.
He hadn’t expected to have a chance at becoming a Grandmaster.
“General, me too!”
“Same here!”
“Good, keep up the pace. Don’t fall behind when we go to war, or don’t blame me. Chi Tiansheng, who started cultivating after you, has already broken through to Grandmaster,” Oliver said with a smile.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to your guidance, General,” Chi Tiansheng said with a simple smile.
Chi Tiansheng, now a Grandmaster, was unmatched by ordinary Grandmasters at Great Perfection.
“By the way, Cameron Guo, who guards Anxi County, wrote to me a few days ago, requesting two sixth-tier breakthrough pills.”
Oliver then shared the news of Cameron Guo’s impending breakthrough to Grandmaster.
After River West City was established, River West County was renamed Anxi County.
“What, old Guo is breaking through to Grandmaster!” Wesley Hu was stunned, realizing Cameron Guo had surpassed them.
“That guy, quietly getting ahead of us,” Felix Wu said.
Guarding Anxi County gave Cameron Guo more time to cultivate, allowing him to quietly surpass them.
Though Chi Tiansheng seemed simple, he was a natural at cultivating the Flood Dragon Devouring Technique.
After encouraging Wesley Hu and the others, Oliver Sheng didn’t want his subordinates to lack strong warriors. As a Martial Saint, having only Innate generals and few Grandmasters was unacceptable.
“Come on, Uncle, let’s have a drink!” Oliver clinked glasses with the veteran.
“Cheers!” The veteran’s demeanor had changed significantly.
With his enemies, the Sima Clan, destroyed, he no longer had to hide. With Oliver Sheng providing seventh-tier cultivation pills, he spent his days cultivating and drinking, growing stronger.
Life couldn’t be better!
Cameron Guo, having received the sixth-tier breakthrough pills from Oliver Sheng, handed over his troops to his deputy and began his seclusion to break through.
On the Great True Ancient Buddha Plateau, the Great True Ancient Buddha Temple had been sealed for sixty years.
Some tribes couldn’t resist attacking the Hu Jie Tribe’s territory, sparking a war of annexation.
Seeing this, other tribes joined in.
Chaos began to emerge across the Ancient Buddha Plateau!
In the midst of the world’s turmoil, at White Emperor City in the East Sea!
A demon dragon of the demon emperor realm from the East Sea demon tribe, leading an army of a hundred thousand demons, attacked White Emperor City.
Sensing the Central Plains’ dynasties on the brink of war, several Miao Territory tribes also began to stir.
At the Huns’ royal court!
“Boom!!”
A thunderclap echoed through the sky!
“Why is it thundering again!”
The common people of the Huns’ royal court were startled once more.
They had been hearing thunder daily for some time.
The next moment, thunderclouds gathered, and the sky darkened as oppressive black clouds rolled in, making countless people uneasy.
Boom!
Lightning flashed within the boundless black clouds, illuminating the dark sky.
A figure in a black robe appeared, rising into the sky.
“That’s the Master!”
“Did the Master summon these thunderclouds?”
“The Master has broken through, what about the King!!” Left Wise King Jin Daoxian murmured as he looked at Gu Yin facing the tribulation clouds in the sky.
As he finished speaking, a figure appeared beside Jin Daoxian.
Jin Daoxian was startled, realizing someone had appeared silently beside him, a terrifying feat!
Recognizing the person, Jin Daoxian’s eyes lit up, and he quickly bowed.
“Greetings, Father!”
“Notify all the tribes on the grasslands to gather their armies. I will lead our forces south!” Yiqi Zhi said.
“Yes, Father!” Jin Daoxian understood that his father had successfully broken through.
After breaking through to Martial Saint, Yiqi Zhi’s first act was to lead his army south to trample Great Wei!
Gu Yin flew beneath the tribulation clouds, which locked onto his aura and began to strike him with lightning.
Boom!!
A bolt of lightning struck, and Gu Yin quickly used his prepared magic tool to resist the tribulation.
After passing the tribulation, Gu Yin’s robe was tattered, and his hair was disheveled, but his eyes shone brightly.
“Hahaha… I, the Old Taoist, have finally broken through to the Yang Spirit, hahaha…” Gu Yin laughed joyfully.
Yiqi Zhi stepped into the air, rising to the sky.
“Congratulations, Master, on achieving the Yang Spirit!”
Gu Yin calmed his excitement and said to Yiqi Zhi, “Congratulations to you too!”
Yiqi Zhi’s gaze turned to the Tianji Mountains, where the next leader of the Divine Sect seemed to have also broken through.
The Divine Sect’s leader had taken a Blood Pill to cultivate the next successor, which greatly displeased Yiqi Zhi.
The sudden addition of three Martial Saints to the Huns greatly boosted their tribe’s fortune.
At the moment the Huns’ fortune surged, Oliver Sheng, who was cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the Huns’ grasslands.
The celestial wolf of the Huns’ fortune had suddenly grown, roaring towards Great Wei.
“What’s going on? The Huns’ fortune suddenly surged!” Oliver Sheng was puzzled.
Logically, after leading his army to kill so many Huns’ soldiers, their fortune should have decreased.
This sudden surge in the celestial wolf’s fortune was unusual!
“Someone come!”
Oliver Sheng immediately called out.
“General, what is it?” Wang Zhan responded quickly to Oliver Sheng’s call.
“Send scouts to the Huns’ grasslands to find out what’s happening!” Oliver ordered.
“Yes, General!”
Wang Zhan took the order and went to arrange for scouts to head to the Huns’ grasslands.
