Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1428 Upgrade Array
In Liu Changxu's eyes, wiping out the remaining trolls was difficult, but it could eventually be accomplished as long as enough time and effort were invested. What truly weighed heavily on his mind was another, deeper hidden danger.

If this troll army is completely defeated, it is possible that it will transmit the coordinates of the star system of Venus back to its headquarters before its annihilation.

Once this happens, Taibai Star will be exposed to the Troll race's sights. It should be known that the Troll race is known throughout the universe for its brutality and bloodthirstiness. Any cultivation planet that they target is almost never spared. It is often regarded as a new hunting ground, and they will continuously send large armies to crush it until the planet's resources are drained and all its life is slaughtered.

"Senior Brother Jin, if you discover any trace of the troll army, please let me know, and I will lead my troops to annihilate them. However, we must prepare in advance for any possible reinforcements the trolls may send."

Liu Changxu said in a serious tone:

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jin Haonan of Tianchi showed a complex expression on his face, and he sighed, saying:
“Junior Brother’s righteous heart is a blessing to the human race. As for the reinforcements…” He paused, his tone tinged with helplessness, “Right now, it is already extremely difficult to completely annihilate the remaining five Demon Emperors. There are too many variables in the future, and we really can’t worry about that now.”

Looking at the weariness between his brows, Liu Changxu knew that Jin Haonan had spent too much time and energy on the war to annihilate the troll clan these days.

Although Jin Haonan was the most powerful Mahayana cultivator among the Taibai Star human race, he did not have the strength of Liu Changxu to be confident in annihilating the remaining five Demon Emperors, and therefore had no energy to think about the longer-term crisis.

Seeing this, Liu Changxu sighed inwardly and said no more:

"What you say is true, it's important to solve the immediate problem first. But we also need to make plans for the future as soon as possible."

Jin Haonan nodded, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more.

After seeing off Emperor Jin Haonan of Tianchi, Liu Changxu summoned his wife and children to discuss the encirclement and annihilation of the remaining remnants of the troll clan and how to deal with an even greater crisis in the future.

When Liu Changxu laid out all his concerns, the relaxed smiles on everyone's faces gradually faded, replaced by solemnity.

His wife, Chen Yufei, frowned slightly, her gaze grave, and spoke first in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, you are absolutely right. While it is of utmost urgency to wipe out the remnants of the troll army, you also know that the trolls are vengeful and vindictive. If they send troops again, it will undoubtedly be a catastrophe for our Taibai Star."

In my opinion, our most urgent task is to strengthen our own defenses. The protective array of White Wolf Mountain is of paramount importance and we must find a way to upgrade it to the ninth tier. As you know, with the current protective array, it would be difficult to withstand the full-scale attack of the troll army, and it would be impossible to guarantee the lives of our people and the safety of our homeland.”

Liu Changxu nodded slightly, his eyes full of agreement.

"Yes, Yufei is right! Upgrading the White Wolf Mountain Formation to the ninth level is indeed difficult. It requires not only a large amount of rare ninth-level spirit gold materials, but also a lot of manpower."

But to ensure the safety of our people living in White Wolf Mountain, we have no choice but to do everything in our power. Otherwise, if the trolls send troops to launch a surprise attack, our current mountain-protecting formation will hardly be able to withstand their fierce offensive.

As soon as Liu Changxu finished speaking, his son Liu Fuyang stood up and respectfully said:
"Father, I believe we should intensify our intelligence gathering on the troll race. The trolls are elusive; the more we know about them, the more confident we will be in dealing with them. We should capture more high-ranking trolls and try every means to extract more information about their internal affairs. Only in this way can we prepare in a targeted manner, achieving a thorough understanding of both ourselves and our enemy, ensuring victory in every battle." "Yang'er is absolutely right!"

Liu Changxu's eyes lit up, and he gave his son an approving look before continuing:

"We must not only capture more powerful trolls to obtain intelligence from them, but also strengthen the translation and organization of the captured troll-language books."

These ancient texts may not contain confidential information about the trolls, but the historical origins, customs, and geography of the trolls recorded within them are invaluable for our understanding of them. Xuefeng, you will be in charge of this matter; you must gather as much comprehensive intelligence as possible about the trolls.”

"The concubine obeys!"

Xuefeng gave a slight curtsy and replied solemnly:

And so, the family sat together, engaging in a deep and detailed discussion. From the channels and methods for gathering intelligence on the trolls, to how to build a more robust defense system to deal with troll attacks; from analyzing the trolls' possible offensive strategies to formulating corresponding countermeasures; from personnel deployment and arrangement to the rational allocation of resources, every aspect was considered extremely thoroughly until a complete set of countermeasures was finally developed.

Looking at his wife and children, who were united and expressing their opinions, Liu Changxu felt his heavy worries and pressure gradually replaced by a warm feeling.

He knew full well that the road ahead would be fraught with difficulties and obstacles, and the threat of the trolls loomed like a dark cloud. But as long as his family could work together as they did now, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome, and no disaster that could not be resisted. This kinship and unity was the strongest force and the warmest harbor in his heart.

Of course, Liu Changxu also knew in his heart that the true safety of his family ultimately depended on his own strength.

He knew that while the current defense deployments and intelligence gathering were important, his own and his family's self-cultivation was the most solid barrier.

If I can raise my cultivation to the mid-stage of Mahayana, the threat posed by the future reinforcements from the troll race will be reduced by at least half.

Even if he were to face an even larger demon army, and despite his limited strength, he was confident that he could protect his wife and children, break through the encirclement, and leave Taibai Star to seek a new life.

Realizing this problem, Liu Changxu felt an even greater sense of urgency to advance his cultivation.

Therefore, Liu Changxu quickly made a decision: in addition to the two important tasks of accelerating the upgrading of the White Wolf Mountain protective formation and making every effort to annihilate the remnants of the Giant Demon Clan, he would consume those ninth-grade spiritual fruits to improve his cultivation level.

At the same time, he also planned to use all the ninth-grade spirit gold materials he had on hand to refine and improve the grade of his innate spiritual treasure, except for the portion reserved for upgrading the mountain-protecting array.

After making the decision, Liu Changxu immediately organized the entire Liu family to upgrade the protective formation of White Wolf Mountain.
