Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1357 Reorganizing the Expeditionary Force

On the tenth day of the third month of the fourth year of the Great Han Dynasty, which was the third year after Yang Yuxuan advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage, Liu Changxu officially issued an imperial edict, conferring upon Yang Yuxuan the title of Empress of the Northern Palace.

By this point, five of Liu Changxu's wives had successfully advanced to the Tribulation Transcending stage.

Including his son Liu Fuhai, who is in the early stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, his daughter Liu Fuyin, and Liu Changlan, the Blue Dragon who has advanced to the early stage of the eighth rank, the Liu family has an astonishing nine Tribulation Transcending Realm experts.

Even excluding Liu Changxu himself, the Liu family is undoubtedly the number one power among the human race on Poseidon.

Because the Liu family already had the strength to protect themselves even without him, Liu Changxu began to prepare for his journey to Taibai Star.

His reason for this plan was twofold: firstly, he was worried about his three sons who were joining the expeditionary force and heading to Taibai Star; secondly, and more importantly, he hoped to break through to the Mahayana stage on Taibai Star.

It should be noted that he had already reached the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Stage for quite some time. After years of fighting and battles, his cultivation had long been stable, and he already possessed the conditions to break through to the Mahayana Stage. Therefore, he was unwilling to wait in vain any longer.

However, at this moment, Liu Changxu faced a thorny problem: whether or not to take Duan Yuwei and the other five wives who were at the Tribulation Transcending stage with him to Taibai Star.

If they were to be brought along, it would be truly difficult to ensure the stability of the Great Han Dynasty and the Liu family with only the son Liu Fuhai, the daughter Liu Fuyin, and the blue dragon Liu Changlan.

But if they were to stay, it might cause resentment and dissatisfaction among the couple, which could then affect their relationship.

Therefore, if the decision is made not to take them along, it is essential to properly address their concerns and persuade them to stay on Neptune willingly.

That morning, Liu Changxu and his concubines gathered in a jade pavilion in the Cloud Palace, sitting around a jade table, leisurely enjoying tea and chatting.

Because there haven't been any major incidents like large-scale invasions by foreign tribes in recent years, Liu Changxu and his wives have been feeling particularly relaxed and content.

"Your Majesty, our Great Han Dynasty is now peaceful and prosperous. When do you plan to take us to Taibai Star?"

Su Jinxiu, who had been worried about her son's safety, suddenly asked:
"Yes! We haven't heard from them for so many years. I wonder how Yu'er and the others are doing now!"

Liu Qingying, who was standing to the side, was also reminded of her son by Su Jinxiu's words and said:
"I also miss Ba'er and Yu'er very much, but if we go to Taibai Star, it will be difficult for Hai'er and Yin'er alone to guarantee the safety of my Great Han Immortal Dynasty and my family!"

Liu Changxu said helplessly:

"Your Majesty, our Great Han Dynasty is now peaceful and prosperous. When do you plan to take us to Taibai Star?"

Su Jinxiu, who had been worried about her son's safety, couldn't help but ask:
"Yes! We haven't heard from them for so many years, and we wonder how Yu'er and the others are doing now!"

Standing to the side, Liu Qingying was also deeply moved by Su Jinxiu's words, which stirred up her longing for her son. She couldn't help but speak up as well:
"How could I not miss Ba'er and Yu'er? But if we all go to Taibai Star, it would be difficult to guarantee the safety of my Great Han Dynasty and my family with only Hai'er and Yin'er!"

Liu Changxu said with a helpless expression:

"Your Majesty, please go in peace! I am willing to stay and protect the land of the Great Han Dynasty!"

Murong Yuyao thought for a moment, then spoke:
"Your Majesty, I must guard the Xuan Tian Sect and am truly unable to accompany you to Tai Bai Star. However, you can rest assured that with me and Sister Yu Yao here, we will certainly ensure the safety of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty!" Duan Yuwei chimed in from the side.
Hearing Duan Yuwei and Murong Yuyao say this, Liu Changxu breathed a sigh of relief. With these two women around, he could indeed feel much more at ease.

"However, Your Majesty, you will have to wait a little longer. I plan to go into seclusion to try and break through to the late stage of Tribulation Transcending in a while. I believe that once I advance to the late stage of Tribulation Transcending, everything will be more secure."

Duan Yuwei added:

"Your Majesty, I will also be going into seclusion soon to prepare for breaking through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm. Once I break through to the mid-stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, I am willing to stay."

Wu Xuege, who was standing to the side, also spoke up.

"Yes, I do plan to go to Taibai Star. With you all staying behind, I feel much more at ease. Who else would like to stay?"

Liu Changxu asked:
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to stay."

Yang Yuxuan spoke up:

Next, Zisu and Ziling also expressed their desire to stay.

Liu Changxu was very satisfied with the result. With this, after leaving Poseidon Star, the Liu family would have six Tribulation Transcending stage experts—Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, Murong Yuyao, Yang Yuxuan, Liu Fuhai, and Liu Fuyin—to guard the area. In addition, there was the eighth-rank low-grade blue dragon Liu Changlan, which greatly guaranteed the safety of the Great Han Immortal Dynasty and the Liu family.

Thus, Liu Changxu and his wives made the decision to go to Taibai Star while chatting and laughing. At the same time, the selection of people to go to Taibai Star and those to stay behind on Neptune Star were quickly determined.

Among the imperial concubines, those who are willing to stay on Neptune Star are: Duan Yuwei, Wu Xuege, Murong Yuyao, Yang Yuxuan, Ziling, and Zisu.

Those who expressed their intention to follow their husbands to Taibai Star are: Xiao Zier, Zhao Qier, Chen Yufei, Jiang Xuefeng, Yang Qingxue, Liu Qingying, Su Jinxiu, Li Zhenxin, Lian'er, Dongxue, Su Yue'e, and Zhao Qingxia.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Changxu summoned his children to the Cloud Palace to discuss the selection of people to go to Taibai Star and the specific arrangements.

Upon learning that their father was going to lead a team to Taibai Star, they eagerly signed up to participate!
After intense discussions, it was finally decided to form a 300,000-strong Han Expeditionary Army, while also drawing 20,000 of Liu Family Imperial Guards.

Meanwhile, the children who indicated their participation in the expedition to Venus were also selected.

Specifically, the sons include: fourth son Liu Fufeng, twenty-third son Liu Fule, nineteenth son Liu Fuxiong, twentieth son Liu Fusheng, twenty-fourth son Liu Fukun, twenty-sixth son Liu Fusheng, thirty-first son Liu Fuchang, sixteenth daughter Liu Fuhui, seventeenth daughter Liu Fuxin, and eighteenth daughter Liu Fuyue.

From then on, the Great Han Dynasty and the entire Liu family immediately began intensive mobilization and preparations for the expedition to Venus.

Although Duan Yuwei decided to stay on Poseidon, she actively prepared to form an army composed of Xuan Tian Sect disciples to join the expeditionary force, and selected her eldest disciple Xiao Ningxue as the leader of this team.

Upon hearing the news that Liu Changxu would personally lead a team to Taibai Star, the Wanxiang Sect, Zhenhai Sect, Daqin Immortal Dynasty, and Wanfo Temple all took the initiative to express their willingness to send an army to join the expeditionary force.

Liu Changxu did not refuse the enthusiastic requests from the various forces. In the end, he simply united the forces of all parties in the name of the Human Alliance Army and formed a huge expeditionary force.
