Three Kingdoms Mythology World.

"Gong Tu, you've been promoted to the Heavenly Divine General, but I don't see the Heavenly Soul attribute, which is the Heavenly Dharma Aspect attribute!" Lin Mu asked in a low voice.

"My talent has merged with the Heavenly Soul!" Dian Wei didn't hide anything and confessed directly.

"【Boundless Sea of ​​Blood】is my Heavenly Soul, the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth!"

"Once the Blood Sea appears, it can condense any form of heaven and earth Dharma." Dian Wei revealed an incredibly powerful attribute.

“The sea of ​​blood is the Dharma form… Hiss… The sea of ​​blood is endless, doesn’t that mean the Dharma form is flawless?!” Upon hearing this, Huang Zhong gasped and said with great envy.

The others listened silently, their faces showing envy.

"I see!!" Lin Mu exclaimed in realization.

Dian Wei's use of his innate talent is essentially the use of the Dharma of Heaven and Earth.

"But how come you still have a primordial spirit? Isn't the Dharma Form of Heaven and Earth transformed from a primordial spirit?" Lin Mu suddenly thought of another situation and asked meaningfully.

"Well, I might be slightly different from the other Heavenly Generals!" Dian Wei scratched his head and said. Actually, he didn't know what his condition was like at the moment... He had broken through halfway before, not because his foundation was insufficient, but because his foundation was too strong, so he couldn't break through the shackles.

Upon hearing this, Lin Mu nodded thoughtfully. After examining Dian Wei's attributes, he had already noticed the anomaly; Dian Wei might have embarked on a higher-level path due to the Blood Lord's inheritance opportunity.

"Asura Blood General, Asura Demon God... Powerful, formidable..." Lin Mu murmured.

"Gong Tu, could you share with us your breakthrough process and insights?" Huang Zhong asked in a deep voice.

"sure……"

Afterwards, Dian Wei shared his experiences and insights, and discussed them with everyone.

Once there is one, there will be two; once there are two, there will be three; once there are three, there will be ten thousand!
Lu Bu broke through, and now Dian Wei has broken through. In the future, there will definitely be more and more peak generals who will be promoted to the level of Tongtian generals.

Currently, Huang Zhong and Taishi Ci are the most promising candidates to embark on this path. They have been constantly pondering how to break through... Lord Lin Mu has already stated that he possesses an opportunity to break through to the Heavenly General level. Whoever can find a clue and take a step forward will receive that opportunity.

At present, neither Huang Zhong nor Taishi Ci have any clues, just like their lord Lin Mu is seeking to be promoted to a divine general.

Recently, historical generals such as Yu Jin, Yue Jin, and Zhou Tai have also begun to focus on improving their skills.

For a long time, they had been busy with war and spent most of their time training troops, rarely focusing on improving their own strength.

Now that things have finally settled down, they finally have the opportunity to calm down and hone their skills. They are all putting in their best efforts to break through to the realm of high-level divine generals, hoping to transform into heaven-reaching divine generals as soon as possible and contribute to the great battle in the future.

What does it mean to settle down? It means that the Great Wilderness Territory has recently begun to cultivate its existing territory and has stopped expanding outwards.

The Great Wilderness Territory has been expanding too rapidly.

There's a severe shortage of talent at all levels. Even occupying more territory isn't enough to manage. And there aren't enough soldiers to defend it…

Currently, the development of many overseas islands has been halted, precisely to facilitate the development of Qingzhou and Youzhou.

Now, with the arrival of parts of Jizhou and Sili, the Great Wilderness territory is facing a situation where there is no one available.

In order to stabilize the situation, the Great Wilderness Territory has already spoken with many local prominent families, asking their outstanding sons to serve in government positions to help them...

He was appointed to many positions, including county magistrate, county assistant magistrate, and some prefectural officials.

This was done not only to stabilize the cities, but also to lull the various warlords into a false sense of security.

That's right, it's all about deception. According to the Night Shadow Legion's reconnaissance, many prominent families have secretly pledged allegiance to certain lords. The Great Wilderness Territory is sending their sons to serve in government positions, which is a way of keeping the lords in check...

This will make the feudal lords believe that there are many of their people in the counties they occupy in the Great Wilderness Territory. When the time is right, they will detonate and deliver a fatal blow to the Great Wilderness Territory!
Currently, the various warlords are developing quietly and engaging in small-scale battles, without forming an anti-Linmu alliance, largely because the Great Wilderness Territory has made such a compromise!
There were also various contracts signed, attacks on Dong Zhuo, and so on. This kind of "showing weakness" was all devised by Guo Jia, Xun You, and Xi Zhicai.

Don't underestimate these maneuvers... they are crucial tactics that prevent the Great Wilderness Territory from being targeted by all the warlords at once!

After fulfilling his promise to Lü Bu, Lin Mu ceased his rampage in Hongnong County and disappeared silently on an ordinary night.

……

Night had fallen over the temporary camp at Hangu Pass, and the entire camp was quiet.

A closer look at the various tents revealed that everyone was diligently cultivating... Seeing that everyone was in good spirits, Lin Mu didn't disturb them and also immersed himself in cultivation. Unfortunately, no matter how much he cultivated, his Dragon Essence Power remained only at the Heavenly Gang level; the barrier to transforming it into Divine Essence Power remained extremely strong...

In fact, he gradually had a strange premonition that his strength would only be able to advance after the founding of the People's Republic of China!

……

While Lin Mu and others were working hard, other feudal lords were also putting in their best efforts to develop.

In fact, all the warlords knew that focusing on development was not giving Lin Mu an opportunity, but giving themselves one.

If we measure by data, and determine that Lin Mu's power is in the tens of thousands, then by inference, many other warlords only have a few hundred, Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu might have a thousand, and Dong Zhuo might have several thousand. If they were to unite, they could reach or exceed ten thousand, which would surpass Lin Mu's power.

However, if they can focus on development for a period of time, the number of various lords can exceed one thousand. If all the lords work together, the total growth during this period will exceed twenty thousand... Even if Lin Mu develops, he probably won't exceed twenty thousand... At that time, it will be easier to unite against Lin Mu!
Therefore, the various warlords were not in a hurry to unite and defeat Lin Mu, this big crocodile.

Currently, within the Great Han Dynasty, although various warlords have begun to fight for territory and have launched many wars, the important cities within the base territories of many warlords are very stable and there is no turmoil.

Players want to take advantage of the chaos, but they can only move around in some chaotic cities.

Everyone was very restrained...

Overall, the situation is not yet one of widespread warfare.

In the mansion of the city lord of Puyang City, Dongjun.

"No, it's too risky. Our group's resources are insufficient to complete this boundary mission."

"My lord, this mission to the realm is extremely important. It is an opportunity bestowed upon you by the Heavenly Dao, and we cannot afford to miss it." Xun Yu's firm rebuttal echoed in the main hall of the city lord's mansion.

“My lord, Wenruo is right… The revival of the literary tradition is related to the fate of all scholars in China, and we cannot afford to lose it lightly.”

“If we lose it, perhaps we will also lose the favor of Heaven forever…” Cheng Yu’s voice rang out.

In the hall, Cao Cao sat at the head of the table, with Xun Yu, Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, Cao Ren, and others sitting below him, filling the hall to capacity.

At this moment, they are discussing a very important matter.

"My lord, based on the intelligence analysis of Yuan Shao, perhaps Yuan Shao has also received a related mission. Why not cooperate with him?" Xun Yu put forward his real suggestion.

“Cooperating with the Yuan family… the Yuan family’s cultural heritage is much deeper than ours, and the power of their cultural origin is definitely greater than ours. That means we will fall far behind in the settlement of the mission.” Cao Cao said with a deep frown.

He had a premonition that this mission would definitely involve facing beings at the level of a Heavenly General!
With Cao Cao's current resources, he could handle one or two of them, but it was too dangerous. If he were to accidentally lose one or two of his fierce generals, he would be heartbroken.

“Actually, there are two other potential partners: Lü Bu and Lin Mu. However, given the increasingly turbulent situation in Chang'an, Lü Bu might not agree. As for Lin Mu, he will definitely be involved in the Chang'an affair…” the strategist Mao Jie said.

"Sigh... this mission comes at this critical juncture..." Cao Cao slapped his thigh and said helplessly.

"How about we divert the resources from the Chang'an situation and focus on completing this task?" Xun Yu glanced at Mao Jie and suggested.

"No, no!!" Mao Jie immediately retorted.

"The strategy of serving the Emperor cannot be lost!!!" Mao Jie said firmly.

The strategy of "holding the emperor hostage to command the feudal lords" was proposed by Mao Jie at a subsequent military conference after Wang Yun wrote a letter to his lord Cao Cao.

This strategy surprised everyone, and many people objected.

After all, the arrival of an emperor in their territory is like a bomb, which could destroy their core territory at any time!

Isn't this situation in Chang'an just like that?
Even a powerful warlord like Dong Zhuo was outmaneuvered; how could their faction possibly escape unscathed?
Initially, only Xun Yu and his associates agreed, while Cheng Yu, Xiahou Dun, and others all opposed it.

However, after a two-day, two-night discussion, the two sides finalized the strategy.

Their primary objective in this situation in Chang'an is to bring the young Emperor Liu Xie to Dongjun!

Is a little emperor with little power really useful?
Cao Cao would say it's useful because he has a trump card: he can restore the power of authority!

Cao Cao had already decided that once the plan succeeded and the power of the Han Dynasty was restored, the first person he would eliminate would be Lin Mu!
They must strip him of his title and his position as General of the Imperial Guard! (End of Chapter)
