The First Sage of Military Strategists

As a large number of soul light points were absorbed, a large amount of martial arts skill proficiency was transferred to the Ancient Scripture of Departure from Dust, and the latter's realm began to slowly rise.

For every 1% increase, a large amount of blood and qi surges within Han Qing's body, opening up acupoints one by one.

For a time, Han Qing was completely absorbed in it, his physique continued to grow, and his strength increased rapidly. This feeling made him extremely happy.

...

at the same time.

On a deserted island in the South China Sea, Lei Wanlong, along with Shi Chen, Xu Yan, and many other powerful figures who had escaped from the Taixu Ancient Domain, built another Taiji Thunder Pool.

Suddenly, Lei Wanlong had a premonition and looked into the distance.

"come out!"

With a crackling sound, a flash of silver lightning appeared, and a figure flew in from afar. It was a tall, beautiful woman with a head of bright silver hair. She stood on a silver bird with lightning flashing on its tail feathers. She flew at an extremely fast speed, just like a streak of silver lightning.

"Lei Wanlong pays his respects to the Silver Emperor!" Lei Wanlong bowed slightly and gave a deep bow, his attitude respectful.

Upon seeing this, Xu Yan and the others all bowed and knelt down, saying, "Greetings, Your Excellency!"

"Rise, from this day forward, I will lead you to establish a branch of my Xuanlei Sect in this world." The woman's voice was ethereal and gentle, captivating all who heard it.

Lei Wanlong stood up and asked in confusion, "My lord, it's just a lower realm, why did you come here personally? I'm more than enough to deal with these natives."

As he spoke, he turned around and introduced, "This is Lord Silver Emperor, one of the three Supreme Elders of my Xuanlei Sect. Not to mention me, even the Sect Master would have to show him respect."

Silver Emperor shook his head: "You underestimate the natives of this world, and you also underestimate the value of this world."

“Oh? There are indeed a few troublesome figures in this world, mainly concentrated in the Great Yu. One is Emperor Yu and Han Yi, and the other is Han Qing. As long as we eliminate these three, the others are not a threat,” Lei Wanlong said with a smile.

"The people you mentioned are indeed troublesome, especially Han Qing. His talent is so strong that it is extremely rare even in the Upper Realm. The leader of the Myriad Paths Alliance has tried to subdue him many times, but without success. This time, I also intend to forcibly bring him back to the Upper Realm and have him join my Xuanlei Sect. Of course, if he refuses to submit even at the cost of his life, I will not hesitate to destroy him."

However, these are not the biggest threats. The biggest threat comes from the leader of the Mohist school. "Silver Emperor said in a deep voice.

"The Mohist Master? I've heard that old ghost is very powerful, but he keeps a low profile and rarely gets involved in outside conflicts. I wonder what the upper limit of his strength is? Could he be the strongest person in this world?" Lei Wanlong asked in confusion.

Silver Emperor nodded: "That's right. This old ghost has already opened all the apertures. Even in the Upper Realm, he is a top expert. Only a few people, such as the leader of the Myriad Paths Alliance, can suppress him."

"Ten Thousand Apertures? Isn't this old ghost already invincible? I've heard that the combat power of the Ten Thousand Apertures Martial Saint is comparable to that of a third-stage Transformation Rainbow Realm Divine Refiner. Even in the Upper Realm, there shouldn't be such a strong person." Lei Wanlong was extremely surprised, and Xu Yan and the others beside him were also shocked.

"It's not that exaggerated. The Martial Saint of Ten Thousand Apertures has a stronger ability to protect himself than a cultivator at the third level of the Rainbow Transformation Realm, but his combat power is a bit weaker. However, he is still stronger than a cultivator at the second level of the Rainbow Transformation Realm. Therefore, his combat power is among the top in the Upper Realm, but he is not the strongest. The strongest should be a cultivator at the second level of the Rainbow Transformation Realm plus Ten Thousand Apertures. The leader of the Ten Thousand Paths Alliance is at this level, while this old ghost should be at the first level of the Rainbow Transformation Realm, which is still a bit weaker," Silver Emperor explained.

"That's incredibly strong," Lei Wanlong exclaimed. "I never imagined that such a world could produce so many terrifying figures."

"Among the three thousand realms below, this world is the strongest in terms of overall strength. At least none of the worlds we've discovered before can compare. More importantly, it possesses the seven ancient seals of the Primordial Emperor and seven ancient demonic inheritances—unparalleled fortunes that even my Upper Realm has never seen. Not only me, but soon, powerful figures from the Azure Cloud Sect, the Blazing Fire Palace, and the Heavenly Sound Pavilion will descend, all vying for the seven inheritances, instantly establishing branch sects and plundering resources," the Silver Emperor added.

"It seems that this world has become a battlefield where various sects from the Upper Realm compete for strength." Lei Wanlong frowned.

“Indeed, this is an opportunity that our Xuanlei Sect must not miss.” Silver Emperor nodded.

Although the major sects of the Upper Realm jointly formed the Myriad Dao Alliance, they are not actually a monolithic entity. Only when facing a common crisis will these sects truly put aside their differences and unite as one.

When there is profit to be made, mutual scheming is the norm, and even the leader of the Myriad Paths Alliance will intervene; this has been the rule since ancient times.

"Sir, what should we do now?" Lei Wanlong asked. "The situation is becoming increasingly complicated, and I have no plan for the moment."

"Continue building the Taiji Thunder Pool and establish a branch sect here. As for you people, I will bestow upon you Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Pills. You must break through the sixth Heavenly Gate within three months and enter the Golden Body Realm, or even the Rainbow Transformation Realm." As the Silver Emperor spoke, he flipped his palm, and round precious pills that shimmered with silver lightning flew out and landed in the hands of Xu Yan and the others.

Xu Yande and the others were extremely excited, and they all bowed respectfully, saying, "Thank you, sir!"

Whoosh whoosh!
Afterwards, Xu Yan and the others flew away, each seeking a place to prepare for a breakthrough.

After everyone had left, Lei Wanlong asked doubtfully, "Sir, isn't it a case of losing more than you gain by taking out so many Heavenly Tribulation Pills at once?"

"This isn't a Heavenly Tribulation Pill, it's just a Thunder Tribulation Pill, its value isn't that great." The Silver Emperor shook his head.

"I see. Then these people probably won't live much longer unless they keep consuming Tribulation Pills." Lei Wanlong revealed a sinister smile.

The Heavenly Tribulation Pill and the Thunder Tribulation Pill may seem to differ by only one character, but their effects are worlds apart.

The Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Pill can help people break through the Heavenly Gate, and after the breakthrough, the realm is stable and will not leave any hidden dangers. It is a supreme treasure pill, and even the Xuanlei Sect's treasury does not have many of them.

The effects of the Thunder Tribulation Pill are much weaker. Although it can help people break through, it has endless side effects. It contains strong poison that needs to be removed in time. Otherwise, if the poison erupts one day, the person who took the pill will die instantly. Even a cultivator at the Rainbow Transformation Realm cannot withstand it.

The reason for this is that the success rate of refining Heavenly Tribulation Pills is extremely low. Often, only one out of ten batches will produce a pill, and the vast majority of the pills produced are scrap, which are called Heavenly Tribulation Pills.

Therefore, the Xuanlei Sect's treasury contains a large number of Thunder Tribulation Pills, but a pitifully small number of Heavenly Thunder Tribulation Pills.

"In my eyes, these people are just cannon fodder. They don't deserve to take the Heavenly Tribulation Pill. The Thunder Tribulation Pill is the most suitable for them. It can temporarily enhance their combat power and make them work for me. I can also use the poison of the pill to further control their life and death and prevent them from betraying me," the Silver Emperor chuckled.

"Your actions are extremely appropriate, sir. I admire you greatly," Lei Wanlong laughed heartily, flattering him.

...

At this time, in the capital city, in the important imperial palace.

The leader of the Myriad Paths Alliance, with a split soul controlling Luo Kuang's body, went in pursuit. For several days, there was no news. Then, on the fifth day, someone from the Upper Realm arrived, carrying a wisp of the leader's soul. (End of Chapter)
