Sheng Fu

Steam rose from the teacup, creating a vibrant and thriving atmosphere.

During his seclusion at Bailu Academy, Yuwen Jun read extensively and later traveled to the Spirit Realm, the Demon Realm, and the Monster Domain, gaining much insight and understanding. In Yuwen Jun's heart, there was always a clear scale.

The reason why the demon race is so powerful is because of the large number of soul masters. The demon lord has soul masters under his command who have reached the Lingxiao realm.

The Divine Race's Chaohua Trial selects candidates fairly.

The reason these two races are so powerful is because they have such a large pool of talented people.

In comparison, the human race and the spirit race were far less satisfactory in this matter.

Many human officials entered officialdom because of their noble birth, and most spirit officials also entered officialdom because of their noble bloodline.

Such a selection process will naturally cause many truly talented people to be lost in the crowd.

The Demon Realm is not worth mentioning; currently, there are almost no capable generals or commanders within its territory.

Yuwen Jun smiled gracefully and said, "Even though the Demon Lord is seriously injured, the Demon Clan remains as solid as a rock. This is all because the members of the Demon Lord's inner circle are quite capable, and the Soul Masters are secretly guarding the area. Therefore, the Demon Clan has never been able to cause chaos."

"But many people have overlooked the soul masters under the Demon Lord's command."

"The fact that these pills will be given to the soul practitioners of Minghun Mountain will not only raise their cultivation level, but more importantly, it will deepen their understanding of soul techniques and their comprehension of various arts and sciences."

"In the military, there are actually many people who are extremely brave, but lack talent and strategy."

"If a brute were given the ability to defeat ten thousand men, how formidable would he be if he were paired with a soul mage as a strategist or advisor?"

Yuwen Jun had this idea long ago, but no soul masters at the Lingxiao level appeared on Minghun Mountain. In addition, the situation was turbulent and chaotic, and there were prejudices and differences between races. Therefore, Yuwen Jun was never able to find a suitable opportunity to bring soul masters from behind the scenes to the forefront.

Gu Yu was temporarily summoned by Yuwen Jun because after taking over the Divine Realm City-State, there was a lack of people skilled in internal affairs.

In fact, Yuwen Jun at that time also had an element of gambling involved.

Gu Yu's cultivation level was not high, and his talent and learning were limited. Who could have imagined that Gu Yu would create a new policy?

The three city-states under the new political system gradually began to prosper.

Such a scene could not possibly fail to move a leader like Yuwen Jun.

Of course, Gu Yu's talent is currently only manifested in domestic affairs. As for whether Gu Yu has the talent of a general, that remains to be seen.

But if all the soul masters within the Bright Soul Mountain were to use their abilities properly, who could even imagine their power?

However, Yuwen Jun would not allow all those soul practitioners to step out from behind the scenes and into the spotlight. In life and in business, it is always wise to keep something in reserve.

Both civil and military affairs are valued. On the battlefield, tens of thousands of soldiers fight fiercely, while inside the main tent, wise men strategize and plan.

Only in this way can Yuwen Jun see the hope of unifying the world.

This is the foundation; without such a foundation, it would be almost impossible to gain an advantageous position in a world of great strife.

Upon hearing Yuwen Jun's words, even though she was a woman, Yu Xiu felt her blood boiling with excitement.

A leader's true power lies not in his personal bravery, but in his ability to command a group of talented individuals and enable them to fully utilize their abilities.

Yuwen Jun smiled smugly: "In the future, some soul masters will inevitably go to the Demon Realm to assist the Demon Realm generals in fighting on the battlefield. We will start with the Demon Realm to accumulate reputation for soul masters, and then let them assist the Hengchang army and the Dragon Clan army."

"However, we cannot rush this matter. My cultivation is weak now, and I will not dare to unleash my full potential until I reach the Lingxiao realm."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiu's eyes were filled with pride and satisfaction...

"I'm going to Mount Minghun first." Yuwen Jun stood up abruptly, looking smug.

Yu Xiu smiled knowingly and said, "Go, holy celestial dragon, about to soar through the skies." ...

Above the abyss, on the mountain of the luminous soul.

This time, Yuwen Jun transformed into a blue dragon and entered the Minghun Hall. As the dragon's aura spread, soul cultivators who were in seclusion in various parts of the mountain came to investigate.

After a long while, everyone gathered in the main hall.

Nan Zhuo, Huo Mu, and An He stood at the very front, the atmosphere inside the hall solemn and magnificent.

"Greetings, Lord!" The crowd knelt on both knees and bowed in unison.

Looking at the kneeling crowd before him, Yuwen Jun felt a sense of pride and smugness for the first time as a ruler. Of course, he would not indulge in such vanity for long.

At a glance, it was clear that besides Nan Zhuo, Huo Mu, An He, and a few others who were at the peak of the Returning Origin realm, there were six other people at the same peak. Yuwen Jun was overjoyed by this lineup.

"Rise," Yuwen Jun said, sitting upright with a serious expression.

Then, everyone slowly stood up.

Nan Zhuo, Huo Mu, and An He exchanged a brief glance out of the corner of their eyes. If there were no urgent matters, their lord would certainly not sit on that throne with such a grand display.

Yuwen Jun said, "Recently, we have made quite a few gains. The Lingxiao Pass is as difficult as ascending to heaven for you all. Fortunately, this time we brought back some miraculous pills that can help you break through the insurmountable barrier in your cultivation and reach the peak."

Yuwen Jun opened the Boundless Bracelet and said to everyone, "Please open your mouths."

Nan Zhuo, Huo Mu, An He, and the others were initially confused, but when they saw Yuwen Jun open the bottle and release a wonderful and extraordinary aura of the Great Dao, everyone's spirits lifted, their eyes burned with enthusiasm, as if they had been parched for a long time and had finally received rain.

Immediately, everyone opened their mouths, their faces solemn, to receive the king's baptism.

With a wave of his sleeve, Yuwen Jun sent hundreds of pills flying out and into the mouths of the crowd.

Even the lowest-ranking pills are of the seven-color grade.

Yuwen Jun laughed heartily and said, "Everyone, please cultivate diligently from now on. Remember, although the elixirs are good, you must not let your mind be disturbed or be impatient for quick success. You still need to take one step at a time and move forward with determination."

Nan Zhuo, Huo Mu, and An He led their followers to prostrate themselves on the ground once more, shouting in a thunderous roar, "Thank you for your great favor, Lord! Thank you for your great favor, Lord!"

Those who practice soul magic seek two things: first, to break through the limitations of their cultivation realm; and second, to encounter a wise ruler and establish merit.

Now that they have both, their hearts are filled with excitement, and their heroic spirit flows like the Yangtze River.

Yuwen Jun waved his hand slightly and said, "Please rise, everyone."

Everyone stood up one after another. Seeing the excited looks on their faces, Yuwen Jun knew that he had made the right bet. He then changed the subject and said, "After you all come out of seclusion, you can go to Yuxi Town and interact more with the Dragon Clan members. A magnificent mansion has been built for you in the town."

"If there is always free time, the scenery will inevitably look less appealing upon closer inspection."

Nan Zhuo and the others were initially confused, but then burst into laughter, filling the entire hall with a sense of grandeur and exhilaration.

Yuwen Jun then stood up and said to Nan Zhuo in a serious tone, "You do not have any suitable weapons. When you have some free time, you should discuss it among yourselves and write down everyone's requests this morning."

"Afterwards, dragon experts will naturally forge weapons for you."

"As for the mount, we need to discuss it further."

"But don't be impatient, everyone. Sooner or later, there will be wonderful scenery waiting for you."

Upon hearing this, the crowd bowed again and shouted, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty!"

Having cultivated silently within the Bright Soul Mountain, how could these people not yearn to venture out into the outside world and show off their skills...? (End of Chapter)
