Chapter 293 Merit and Spiritual Treasures, Thirty-Six Stratagems, Conferring Titles of Marquises, Blessed Land Duke's Mansion, Great Tang Dynasty Sutra Repository

Then came a series of upheavals, leaving only four of the eight demon kings alive. The other four had been killed and transformed back into their original forms.

The remaining four are now surrounded by eight generals at the Taiyi realm, and death is imminent.

The strongest demon king, his body surging with power, spilling demonic blood, roared with a ferocious glint in his eyes: "Good, good indeed, the White Tiger army! I never expected you to have such a trump card, thwarting my elder brother's plans. However, you are not qualified to completely capture us. Behold my Divine Transformation Blood Blade!"

The strongest demon king retrieved a phantom blood blade from within his body. This blood blade was similar to the one that had previously broken through the formation. However, although this blood blade appeared illusory, the aura it contained was far more terrifying.

The subtly stirring atmosphere gave off a deadly feeling.

Upon sensing this aura, General Chi Hu became alert.

"Not good, this is the Great Luo, retreat..." General Red Tiger retreated instantly without thinking.

The other generals were in the same situation, but then the blood-red blade suddenly erupted, accompanied by a powerful pressure that threatened to engulf the eight generals before it.

The eight generals, filled with terror, retreated rapidly. However, this blood-red blade was definitely formed from the pig demon at the Great Luo realm, containing the power of a Great Luo realm cultivator. Its terrifying power was something that a Taiyi realm cultivator could not withstand.

"Hmph..." On the verge of life and death, a cold snort fell from the sky. In the next instant, a giant hand appeared and grabbed at the blood-red blade.

With a deafening boom, the sweeping Nascent Soul Blood Blade was instantly crushed by the giant hand. A sharp, piercing light then appeared within that hand: "Shadow Pig, you've gone too far. Take this..."

Instantly, golden light filled the sky, and endless Geng metal energy transformed into a white tiger, roaring across the heavens, drawing in stars, traversing billions of miles, crossing the Two Realms Mountain, and charging towards Xiniu Hezhou.

Within that overwhelmingly powerful sharpness, accompanied by a white tiger, it was as if the legendary Western white tiger had come to life.

It vanished into the void, sparking a clamor, tearing apart the heavens, ravaging the earth, accompanied by a mournful wail: "Xue Rengui, you, you... ah..."

A mournful wail echoed from countless places, and then the void seemed to be cleaved open, revealing billowing malevolent energy and sharp edges.

"Although I have cultivated to the level of a Great Luo Immortal, I am still a beast. Hmph..." He snorted coldly and arrogantly, accompanied by a sense of confidence, and then dispelled his supernatural powers, appearing before everyone.

Upon seeing this man, the eight Taiyi Generals, who had survived a brush with death, shouted excitedly, "General! Great General!"

The newcomer was none other than General Xue Rengui. He stood there, clad in white armor, his body wreathed in strange phenomena, transforming into a white tiger in battle, looking incredibly sacred.

"Get up, all of you. I've seen the whole battle; you've all worked hard." Xue Rengui stroked his beard and smiled, looking at his subordinates with satisfaction.

General Chi Hu and the others shook their heads, their gazes turning to where Di Xiao was: "General, in terms of the greatest merit in this battle, it is undoubtedly Young General Di Xiao. The young general is a genius, whether it is arranging troops or commanding a large army, we are all ashamed of our own inferiority. In particular, we have the utmost respect for the special military supernatural power he demonstrated earlier."

"Haha..." Mentioning this, Xue Rengui couldn't help but laugh, then he rolled up the eight generals and came to Di Xiao's side. His eyes were filled with satisfaction and excitement: "Good, good... Di Xiao, you definitely deserve the greatest credit in this battle. Moreover, what you showed in this battle, I admire. My White Tiger Army is truly fortunate to have a young general like you."

"General, you flatter me!" Although Di Xiao knew his own special status and power, he still had to be humble and low-key.

However, just as Di Xiao finished speaking, a radiant glow suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by celestial music, and the sun, moon, and stars showered down upon Di Xiao.

The sudden change left Di Xiao stunned: "This is...?"

Xue Rengui became excited, his beard swaying wildly: "Excellent, excellent opportunity! Di Xiao, quickly recite the Thirty-Six Stratagems you created, and then intertwine them with the heavens and earth. This, this..."

Upon hearing this, Di Xiao immediately did as instructed. Then he saw the rosy light descend, accompanied by the sun, moon, and stars, and Di Xiao's silent chant, as if it were about to condense into a kind of illusory paper.

After the paper appeared, it gradually bore the imprint of the Thirty-Six Stratagems. Then, a special golden light fell from the sky.

"Merit, this is merit! Especially with heaven and earth condensing the paper, the merit is added. After Brother Di Xiao's Thirty-Six Stratagems is born, it will surely become a treasure of merit." Xue Dingshan looked at the scene before him, extremely excited, and clearly understood what this meant!

Clouds and mist form paper, and the Dao transforms into characters; this is the refining of treasures by heaven and earth.

Above the heavens, Emperor Xiao was swept up by the rosy light and enveloped in merit. Then, as Emperor Xiao silently recited the Thirty-Six Stratagems, they were gradually imprinted into the book before him.

Finally, a book bearing the inscription "The Art of War: The Thirty-Six Stratagems" appeared before Di Xiao.

As Di Xiao looked at this book, he felt a connection to it, and also felt something new growing within him.

Holding the book in front of me, a myriad of thoughts instantly flooded my mind.

"A post-natal, top-grade merit-based spiritual treasure: the Thirty-Six Strategies of War. This..." Di Xiao never expected that the Thirty-Six Strategies he created would actually evolve into a post-natal merit-based spiritual treasure.

This merit-based spiritual treasure, in particular, is a special spiritual treasure formed from divinely bestowed paper and heavenly writing.

Di Xiao looked on, his eyes gleaming: "Good, good..."

Di Xiao smiled and landed slowly. Xue Dingshan and Xue Rengui, who surrounded him, also offered their congratulations.

"Brother Di Xiao, congratulations on pioneering a new path in military strategy and obtaining such a meritorious spiritual treasure." Xue Dingshan exclaimed, feeling a sense of inferiority.

Xue Dingshan had watched Di Xiao grow up, so he naturally knew what Di Xiao's actions meant. He used to have a desire to be on par with him, but now that desire was gone.

Because Xue Dingshan knew that the gap between himself and Di Xiao was too great.

"Haha..." Di Xiao laughed and put away the merit treasure in front of him: "I also thank Brother Xue for his help."

"Alright, you two, stop being so polite." Xue Rengui waved his hand, his expression serious. "Chihu, you two clean up the battlefield. Dixiao and Xue Dingshan, come with me."

Di Xiao and Xue Dingshan exchanged glances, then followed Xue Rengui away without giving it much thought.

Soon, inside the White Tiger Hall.

Xue Rengui stroked his beard and sighed with satisfaction as he looked at Di Xiao, praising him with undisguised admiration: "Di Xiao, your command of the White Tiger Army in the great battle against the barbarians was outstanding. I imagine His Majesty will soon bestow honors and rewards upon you."

"However, these are all secondary. What I want to talk about now is related to the fourth level of the Defilement Severing Technique that you created earlier."

"Father, are they the sages in the Fire Cloud Cave?" Xue Dingshan asked anxiously, filled with curiosity.

"Can't you learn some composure from Di Xiao?" Xue Rengui glanced at Xue Dingshan and snorted coldly, making Xue Dingshan panic.
