The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

Tang Bing gritted her teeth and was about to say something when she suddenly heard a laughing voice in her ears.

"Hey, what's wrong? Why do you all look so sad? Who bullied you?"

The eyes of the three women present lit up when they heard the voice, and then they saw a tall figure walking into the hall.

"Liu Bai, have you made a breakthrough?" Tang Bing asked quickly.

Liu Bai laughed, looking at this usually cold girl, who now showed such a nervous and anxious expression, and immediately said: "It's rare that you care about me so much. Tell me, do you have any intentions towards me?"

Tang Bing: “…”

"Please stop joking with my sister. We just received news that several cities under our Jiuyou Palace have broken away from us and joined the Blood Eagle Palace. My sister and I are almost mad at you." Tang Rou stood up and briefly explained the whole thing.

Liu Bai was not surprised or angry at all. Instead, he smiled and said, "Isn't this already expected? You know, Jiuyou snatched a place from the Blood Eagle King in the meeting of kings. With the Blood Eagle King's domineering and conceited personality, how could he not fight back..."

"What are you talking about stealing? That's supposed to be ours!" Tang Bing said coldly.

Liu Bai spread his hands and said, "This is just your idea. In the eyes of the Blood Eagle King, it is his own thing..."

"Okay, don't be angry. Didn't I tell you before? Just leave it to me. There's still some time before the Daluo Golden Pool opens, so I can get some exercise..."

Jiuyou has not spoken since Liu Bai appeared.

She believed that since Liu Bai had already told her about this matter, he would definitely give her a satisfactory result.

"From now on, you will be the only leader of my Jiuyou Palace. Just do whatever you want. If there is anything you can't solve, Sister Jiuyou will take care of it for you!"

Liu Bai smiled and nodded, "Jiuyou still understands me. You can wait for my good news in Jiuyou Palace."

After saying that, Liu Bai prepared to leave.

"Wait, I'm going too!"

Tang Bing suddenly spoke.

Liu Bai frowned, looked at her, and said, "You have just broken through, right? You haven't even integrated your spiritual power attributes. You won't be able to help much if you go. You should stay in Jiuyou Palace to practice."

Tang Bing, however, had a stubborn look on his face. He looked directly at Liu Bai and said, "I know the details of those cities, and most of them also know my identity."

This made Liu Bai ponder. Although he was now the leader of Jiuyou Palace, he had just taken office after all. The cities under him might not know him. Having Tang Bing, the chief steward of Jiuyou Palace, by his side would indeed reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.

"Well, then, you can follow us. It just so happens that the Nine Nether Guards are being sent out for some good training this time. If you lead them, there will be less trouble."

These words immediately caused a big question mark to appear in the heads of the three women present.

Tang Bing: "I lead the Nine Nether Guards? Isn't this what you, the legitimate commander, should do?"

As an army directly under the Jiuyou Palace, the Jiuyou Guards should have been the sharpest sword in Jiuyou's hands. However, due to the previous reasons, not only did the commander of the Jiuyou Guards rebel, but their combat power and numbers were also far inferior to those of the armies under the other kings.

As an important force for the Jiuyou Palace to stabilize its rule over the territory, the improvement of the Jiuyou Guards is also essential if those cities are to be brought back under its control.

But this is not something that can be done overnight, so Liu Bai did not care about these people's ideas for the time being and just left it to Tang Bing to manage.

Liu Bai is different from Muchen in the original novel. The latter does not have the strength to easily crush these subordinate cities, so he needs to rely on the army to gather the fighting spirit to strengthen himself, so that he can defeat certain people.

But Liu Bai didn't need it, and he had no interest in battle formations.

Even when I was reading the original novel, I was fascinated by the battle master Liu Bai.

It was fine at the beginning, he led the army to gather the spirit of fighting spirit and led the people to fight against powerful enemies... But later, after Muchen really became a battle formation master, the original army simply became a battery to provide fighting spirit.

Can you imagine a general commanding an army of thousands of troops who directly orders the troops to provide fighting spirit from behind, while he himself holds a knife and fights to the death with another commander?

Anyway, Liu Bai doesn't like these...

"Goodbye. Jiuyou and I are the same. We both don't have any talent for training and commanding troops. You have been able to preserve the Jiuyou Guards by yourself over the years, and you have proven your ability. So I think it's better to hand it over to you. And you have been with them for so long, I think they all really recognize you, and they can also exert stronger cohesion under you."

Jiuyou also agreed with this statement. However...

"What do you mean you have no talent for commanding troops like me? That's your own fault. Don't drag me into this!" Jiuyou said dissatisfiedly.

Liu Bai chuckled and did not refute. But he heard Jiuyou admit with his own ears that the current Jiuyou Guards are much more united and powerful than before.

At the Jiuyou Palace training ground, Liu Bai and the other three quickly came to the high platform.

At this time, the field was already densely packed with people, wearing black armor, standing still like a rock, not moving an inch. Their breathing was in unison, and their exhalations were like thunder and lightning, and their momentum was frightening.

"I've met the palace master!"

When Jiuyou appeared, nearly a thousand rock-like figures suddenly bowed respectfully, put their fists on their chests, and their uniform voices were like thunder, ringing in their ears.

It was the first time that Liu Bai had seen such a scene, especially the feeling that the aura of thousands of people was integrated into one, which actually made him feel frightened.

Jiuyou nodded. He was very satisfied that Tang Bing was able to preserve such an army for Jiuyou Palace under such circumstances.

At this time, the coldness on Tang Bing's face had faded a lot, and he began to introduce: "The Nine Nether Guard has always been maintained at a scale of 1,000 people. We adopt an elimination system. At the end of each year, those who are in the last 100 will be eliminated and then become other forces of the Nine Nether Palace. Finally, they will be replaced by newcomers with outstanding performance."

Although this approach is cruel, it can maintain the combat effectiveness of the Jiuyou Guards from decreasing. In addition, due to the pressure of competition, these people are training hard one by one, and their combat effectiveness is naturally getting stronger and stronger.

The only thing it lacks is sufficient resource support, otherwise this Nine Nether Guard would definitely not be worse than the armies of other kings.

This is why Liu Bai thinks Tang Bing is suitable to be the leader, because her strength may not be enough, but her ability to train soldiers is not bad.

"Well done." Jiuyou praised again.

It seems that it was indeed a wise decision to hand over the Nine Nether Guards to Tang Bing.

"Actually, we do this because our Supreme Spirit Liquid can only cultivate an army of this size." Tang Bing smiled helplessly.

She also wanted to expand the Nine Nether Guards, but unfortunately the Nine Nether Palace had a limited amount of supreme spiritual liquid every year. If she expanded the army, it would hurt the foundation of the Nine Nether Guards.

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiu You patted Tang Bing's shoulders. Over the years, Tang Bing even took out her own share of the Supreme Spirit Liquid to distribute to Jiu You Guards. Even Jiu You felt a little ashamed of her efforts.

"It's okay." Tang Bing smiled slightly, then she looked at the Nine Nether Guards, and her clear voice became a little colder and more solemn: "From today on, Liu Bai will be the leader of the Nine Nether Guards."

There was a moment of silence below, and in many cases, silence often represents resistance.

Tang Bing's eyes narrowed, and his whole body exuded a chilling aura.

Even though this girl looks young and pretty, in the hearts of these Nine Nether Guards, she is a female devil!

However, Liu Bai waved his hand to stop Tang Bing from getting angry. He looked at these people and said, "Don't worry. I am just a figurehead. I don't have the energy to manage so many of you. From now on, you will still be managed by Tang Bing."

After hearing Liu Bai's words, one could clearly feel that the Nine Nether Guards below all breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Bai took a look and found that the Nine Nether Guards were not only good as a whole, but also had good individual strength.

Among them there were even three who had also broken through to the first-grade supreme level, but they probably had not yet condensed their own supreme dharma bodies.

"The tallest and strongest of the three is called Qiu Shan, the one on his left is called Bei Mo, and the one on his right is called Lan Hai."

"They were all independent cultivators originally. Later, they offended a sect and were hunted everywhere. I was lucky enough to save them, so I let them join the Nine Nether Guards. Over the years, these three people have been loyal and have never left even when the Blood Eagle Hall offered them a high price."

Tang Bing introduced Jiuyou and Liu Bai.

Jiuyou nodded and said, "In that case, these three people can be trained well."

The Nine Nether Guards will definitely not maintain this size in the future. Liu Bai, this lazy guy, can no longer be relied upon, and Tang Bing alone will definitely not be able to handle it, so it is imperative to train new people who can stand on their own.

The loyalty of these three people has been proven, so the next step is to improve their cultivation.

It is not difficult to obtain ordinary supreme dharmakayas, but it is difficult to obtain truly powerful supreme dharmakayas.

After all, the stronger the Supreme Dharmakaya is, the more resources it will consume, so it is important to find a balance among them.

It’s not that Liu Bai doesn’t have the method of cultivating the Supreme Dharmakaya in his hands. He had gained some knowledge of it in Taiyi Palace and Wood Temple before, but the power is just average.

It’s almost at the same level as Zhao Zhong’s extremely cold Dharma body.

"Actually, this level is about right..." Liu Bai calculated secretly in his mind.

The most important thing is that the required materials are not too difficult to find, and it shouldn’t cost too much Supreme Spirit Liquid to get them together.

Thinking of this, Liu Bai said to Jiuyou and Tang Bing: "I have a Qingmu Dharmakaya and a Xuanbing Dharmakaya here. Although they are not on the Supreme Dharmakaya List, they are both quite powerful. You three can choose the one you like to practice."

Not only Jiuyou and Tang Bing were surprised by these words, but Qiu Shan and the other two who were originally serious couldn't help but become a little confused.

The Supreme Dharmakāya? And he took out two of them at once. What is the identity of this young man? Why is he so generous?

Suddenly, the three of them felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to let the other party be the leader...

"You have quite a lot of good stuff in your hands!" Jiu You looked Liu Bai up and down in amazement, and then his eyes suddenly became sharp, and he asked in a questioning manner: "Tell me quickly, what good stuff do you have that you haven't taken out? Tell me the truth!"

Seeing this, sisters Tang Bing and Tang Rou couldn't help but twitch their lips. The two sisters looked at each other and had a bad premonition in their hearts.

It couldn't be that the relationship between Sister Jiuyou and Liu Bai was really like what I imagined...

"It's gone, it's gone, it's really gone." Liu Bai immediately acted like a weak and pitiful person, hugging his chest and begging for mercy, to cooperate with the performance.

"Really?" Jiuyou was a little skeptical.

Liu Bai nodded repeatedly.

"Is that so? Then Xiao Bing'er, you should just make do with it and choose one of these two Dharma bodies."

"Hey, I suddenly remembered that I have a supreme Dharmakāya here..."

Jiuyou: “……!”

Tang Bing: “…”

Tang Rou: “……?”

"Okay, enough joking!" Liu Bai said, waving his hand.

The three girls rolled their eyes at him at the same time.

"The Supreme Dharmakaya and the Supreme Spiritual Fluid are both here. But if you want to get them, you have to rely on your ability and military merit to get them."

Liu Bai glanced at these people. Although he didn't want to care about these "burdens", appropriate incentives were still necessary, because only in this way would they be willing to fight for their lives.

"I believe you all understand the situation of our Jiuyou Palace. Next, I will take you to take back all the things that originally belonged to us. And this is also your chance to prove yourselves..."

"Prove yourself worthy of these rewards!"

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 176 Acting vigorously and resolutely

The actions of Liu Bai and Jiuyou Palace were obviously unexpected by other forces.

In the imagination of the Blood Eagle King and others, even if Jiuyou wanted to take back the lost territory, she would definitely wait until after the Daluo Golden Pool. After all, if she really had confidence in Liu Bai, then as long as she fought well in the first battle after returning, the reputation of Jiuyou Palace would be greatly enhanced, and then the effort to conquer these cities would be much less.

Jiuyou did this in the original novel, but who could blame him for bringing back Liu Bai instead of Muchen this time?

Although he had just condensed his Dharmakāya, this was enough for Liu Bai. Because with the Supreme Dharmakāya, he would be a true First-Rank Supreme. In this way, the millions of experience points in his hands would be useful.

He directly used up two million experience points and raised his cultivation to the level of the Second Grade Supreme.

Moreover, Liu Bai discovered that his cultivation level did not improve gradually from the early and middle stages of the second-grade supreme realm, but directly reached the late stage of the second-grade supreme realm. The next upgrade would be directly to the third-grade supreme realm...

Of course, the prerequisite for such a leap forward is experience points, a lot of experience points!

It takes 2 million experience points to upgrade to the second grade, 3 million to the third grade, and 10 million experience points to upgrade to the Supreme... This number is astronomical to Liu Bai now.

And because of the limitations of the system, the higher his cultivation level, the higher the level of enemies he must kill. It was okay when he was at the Supreme level, but if he was promoted to the Earth Supreme, Liu Bai really didn’t know where to go to gain experience.

Could it be possible that he would go and hunt demons? If so, it would not be bad. He could go to Daqian Palace and register as a demon slayer. Maybe he could become the second demon slayer.

His cultivation level has been raised to the Second Grade Supreme, which makes Liu Bai more adept and faster in setting up formations. Now, as long as the opponent is not a powerful king, Liu Bai is confident that he can kill him instantly.

This is also the reason why Liu Bai dared to act so quickly.

The Nine Nether Guards have been enduring in silence for so many years, and everyone has been holding back a rage in their hearts. Now that they finally have the chance to vent, naturally, they are all furious.

By the time Liu Bai and Tang Bing left Daluotian with a thousand Nine Nether Guards, all the kings' forces had already received the news, and then they all showed different expressions.

For kings like King Shura and King Lieshan, who were powerful in their own right and had not participated in the suppression of Jiuyou Palace, they just chose to watch the news coldly. Only King Blood Eagle showed a sneer of success after hearing the news.

"You are really a young girl. You can't even bear this little bit of anger. I originally thought you could wait until after Daluo Jinchi. It seems that I overestimated you."

"Give the order to Wu Tian and Cao Feng to lead the five thousand Blood Eagle Guards out. I will make sure those people from Jiuyou Palace can never return to Daluo Heaven!"

"Yes!"

Soon, five thousand Blood Eagle Guards rushed out of Daluotian under the leadership of Wu Tian and Cao Feng.

Naturally, this news quickly reached the ears of the kings.

Inside Jiuyou Palace, Tang Rou looked at Jiuyou with some worry, and asked anxiously: "Sister Jiuyou, what should we do? Should we go save my sister and the others?"

Five thousand Blood Eagle Guards and two commanders, this force is enough to crush Tang Bing and his thousand men.

But Jiuyou appeared to be very calm, without any trace of panic on her pretty face.

"No, don't underestimate that guy Liu Bai..."
