I, the mortal, come from the great world of Xuanhuang

No one knew or could guess Fang Yu's purpose, but one thing was certain: after the Soul Clan's plan was exposed, even though the Soul Emperor had not yet recovered from his injuries, he still chose to launch the plan ahead of schedule, meaning he would directly annihilate the Spirit Clan first.

However, he also made follow-up preparations.

"You mean to attack the Spirit Clan first, and if the Ancient Clan's Gu Yuan makes a move, you and several elders will stop him, while I will directly wipe out the Ancient Clan."

After hearing Soul Emperor's follow-up plan, Void's expression changed, and he became very surprised. However, he understood after thinking about Soul Emperor's usual style of doing things.

After all, this is indeed the best method. If we can't destroy the Spirit Race, then we should destroy the Ancient Race.

If the ancient clans cannot be destroyed, then there are other Dou Di families. In any case, Gu Yuan can only protect one family, but not all of the rest, so he can destroy one no matter what.

"But what if they join forces later? If they do, the entire Soul Clan will be in trouble."

This is what Void is most worried about: the various families joining forces to annihilate their Soul Clan. This is the most terrifying thing. However, regarding this matter, the Soul Emperor shook his head and sneered.

"Don't worry, that guy doesn't have that kind of guts. If he did, when I was severely injured by Xiao Xuan's self-destruction, and you were also seriously injured, that was the only chance for the Ancient Clan to wipe out my Soul Clan. But he gave up that opportunity and even devoured everything left behind by the Xiao Clan. He's an utterly stupid idiot. How could he possibly have such guts? If he did, our Soul Clan would have been wiped out long ago. So there's no need to worry about that. An alliance? Hmph, that's simply impossible. They would never form an alliance. With his limited abilities, forming an alliance is simply impossible. So you don't need to worry about anything. If they could form an alliance, they would have done so long ago. Why would they wait until now? So rest assured, this kind of thing won't happen." "The only problem is how that little fellow from the Xiao clan grew up? What's behind him? Even now, those useless members of the family haven't figured it out. But in the entire Dou Qi Continent, besides our major families, who else has the ability to allow him to grow so quickly and possess such strength, and most importantly, know so much? This is truly unbelievable, utterly unbelievable, truly astonishing. Therefore, I feel there must be a power behind him that we don't know about. So, before we figure out what power is behind him, it's best not to act rashly, at least not to attack him for now. But I really can't understand, which other force in this Dou Qi Continent can rival our major families?"

This was the most puzzling thing for the Soul Emperor: where did Fang Yu learn so much? This was completely unexpected and disrupted his plans. If it were anyone else, he certainly wouldn't let them go. However, the strength and intelligence capabilities that Fang Yu displayed were truly frightening to him. Of course, it might not be called fear, but he was still wary.

Most importantly, he simply couldn't understand which force was supporting Fang Yu, and he couldn't find out at all. Even the Soul Clan couldn't find out, not even the slightest clue.

"Could it be that someone was reborn? Or perhaps they took over his body?"

Void considered one possibility; after all, he had done this kind of thing quite a lot, so it was the only possibility.

"You mean that a powerful being, whose soul is now the only thing remaining, took over his body, which is why he knows so much and can grow so quickly?"

"That's right. Take that guy from the Pill Tower, for example. Doesn't he always like to do that? But the two have different styles of doing things, and that guy doesn't cultivate at all. He only travels around, experiences life, and improves his strength. He doesn't use the body he's attached to to cultivate. Besides, he doesn't need to cultivate. Most importantly, he can't refine pills. Although he's the ancestor of the Pill Tower, he doesn't know how to refine pills at all. So it's very likely not him, but he is indeed the most likely candidate. Besides him, I really can't think of anyone else who has the ability to know so many things. But even if he wanted to know so many things, it would be impossible. So I don't know who's behind him."

Void revealed all his guesses, but Soul Emperor shook his head and did not agree with them.

"It definitely can't be that old guy. If it were, he would never offend our Soul Clan. He doesn't have the guts. He simply doesn't have the strength or the guts right now. He knows the strength of our Soul Clan and would never do such a thing. So there must be someone else behind him. As for which force it is, I still can't figure it out. I originally thought it was the Medicine Clan, but after thinking about it, that's impossible. They would be even less daring. They would never do anything to offend our Soul Clan. In the entire Dou Qi Continent, only the Ancient Clan dares to offend our Soul Clan and can stand against us. But that guy from the Ancient Clan wouldn't do that either. So I can't figure out which force has the guts to offend our Soul Clan."

"Could it be that he doesn't have anyone backing him at all, and he's just cultivating on his own?"

Xu Wu considered another possibility: that Fang Yu had absolutely no one behind him. But this was impossible. How could someone cultivate so quickly and know so much if there was no one behind him? It was utterly impossible, unrealistic. The recent rebirth of a powerful figure was the most likely explanation, and that was indeed the case. However, they didn't know that Fang Yu's rebirth wasn't ordinary; it was from another world, and he even knew the plot. Under these circumstances, they couldn't possibly guess Fang Yu's true identity and could only speculate wildly.
Meanwhile, Fang Yu's side had gained the approval of everyone and was preparing to unify the empires of the Northwest Continent. This was no longer a difficult task for Fang Yu and his group. Of course, they were all too familiar with the strategy of picking on the weak first, so they started with the empires that only possessed Dou Zong level experts, as these empires were the easiest to subdue. They were also very familiar with this approach, so as long as they made their moves and revealed their identities, the powerful sects or royal families of these empires would immediately choose to surrender. Even if they didn't surrender, their fate wouldn't be good.

They were all too familiar with this kind of thing, and so in the following two weeks, they had already brought five empires under their control. Under these circumstances, their collective strength increased dramatically, and at the very least, the strength of their empires was greatly enhanced. If their original territory was one, it had now become ten, because the empires they controlled were all much larger than their original ones. It would be strange if their strength didn't increase significantly under such circumstances.

"We have conquered another empire, and this empire is rich in resources. So if we can conquer a few more empires, then we can start targeting those empires with Dou Zun level experts."

Fang Yu said this at the victory celebration ceremony.

Everyone present agreed with his words, after all, Fang Yu was undoubtedly the number one person now, even Yao Lao could not compare to him.

Meanwhile, Yao Lao had already contacted his good friend, Venerable Feng. The two were best friends, having grown up together and co-founded the Starfall Pavilion. Their relationship was beyond the comprehension of others. So, upon receiving information from his friend, the mad old man rushed over as quickly as possible. Of course, even for a Dou Zun expert, arriving in a short time would be impossible; it would take at least one or two months. But this wasn't too difficult for them.

Besides his good brothers, Yao Lao also contacted some old friends, all of whom were Dou Zun level experts.

After all, he wouldn't even look down on those below his level. He was once a peak Nine-Star Dou Zun, and he still is now. His strength has improved even further, especially after receiving Fang Yu's help recently. He's now closer to becoming a Half-Saint. It's safe to say that he only needs to wait another year or two to break through smoothly. However, he'll need to go into seclusion, and what they need right now is time. Therefore, they haven't given him any time to go into seclusion, so he can only postpone his breakthrough plan for now. But he believes that it won't be long before he breaks through.

At the same time, he was also waiting for his good brother. He didn't want his good brother to arrive and not see him, so he didn't mind waiting a little longer. As long as his good brother and friends could arrive, he could go into seclusion and break through to the half-saint realm with peace of mind.

If he can successfully break through to the Half-Saint level, then the remaining empires will be no problem at all. He can easily persuade them, since the strongest among these empires is only a Dou Zun, and there isn't a single Half-Saint level expert. Under these circumstances, it would be too easy to subdue them.

They only need to show a little of their strength; the only trouble is the Soul Palace. Their only worry is that this force will interfere with their plans or help those empires against them. This is not something that will never happen; on the contrary, it has already happened, and more than once. If it weren't for their strength, they would probably have been stopped by now.

Even so, they were confident that unifying the nearby empires would not be difficult for them. Their strength was now completely different from before; they now possessed a peak nine-star Dou Zun expert, and most importantly, this expert was a top-tier eighth-grade alchemist—one of the few in the entire Dou Qi Continent who could rival him. Under these circumstances, their strength was naturally extraordinary, and the ability to subdue so many empires so quickly was undoubtedly due to the help of this eighth-grade alchemist. After all, a single eighth-grade pill was enough to make the sects of these empires surrender.

They knew very well that if they didn't surrender, the eighth-grade pills would fall into the hands of other Dou Zun experts, and they wouldn't even know how they died. Under these circumstances, anyone with a brain would know what to choose; there was no need for hesitation, just agree. It was perfectly normal for them, and they didn't care at all. Therefore, they surrendered very quickly and easily, making it easy to subdue these imperial forces. The main reason was their strength; if they weren't strong, there would be no way to win.

This is also why Fang Yu is in such a hurry to unify the entire Northwest Continent in a short period of time, because only in this way can they enter the Central State more quickly.

Only in this way can they become stronger and achieve their goal of unifying the entire Dou Qi Continent. Although the possibility of this goal is not very high, it is not impossible. Therefore, they must seize every moment to deal with this matter. Of course, the most important thing is strength; nothing is more important than that.

The quickest way was to call on friends, but this was a task that only Elder Yao could accomplish. No one else could do it, and Elder Yao did it perfectly. He managed to call all the friends he knew and knew. Of course, some friends were unwilling, complaining about the long journey, but the most likely reason was their fear of the Soul Palace.

This is the most important reason, not because Elder Yao told them about the Soul Palace, but because of the Soul Palace's warning. Under these circumstances, those who still came are naturally true friends. Of course, some might simply want the pills, as some pills can help them increase their strength, while others can extend their lifespan. This is the most important reason; for the sake of strength and longevity, they naturally rushed here without hesitation. This is quite normal.

Therefore, no one will say anything, and no one dares to say anything. (End of Chapter)
