The Great World: Rise from Liuyu

Anyway, for these small forces, as long as they can ensure their survival, it doesn’t matter who is above them. After all, they are all objects of exploitation...

Chapter 190: The War of Expedition Begins Early

The Thunder and Fire Plain was unified and came under the jurisdiction of the Jiuyou Palace.

This incident spread throughout the Hundred Battles Domain and the Daluo Realm at an extremely fast speed, and brought a huge shock to both sides.

From the forces that withdrew from the Thunderfire Plain, the Hundred Battles Domain also roughly understood some of the processes of this war. When they heard that all this was led by a leader of the Nine Nether Palace, and that the Nine Nether King, the lord of the Nine Nether Palace, had never shown up from beginning to end, it immediately caused a greater shock.

"He was able to kill a third-grade supreme being with his formation and easily subdue a powerful force like Zhan Yue City. How strong is this Liu Bai?" Many people in the Hundred Battles Domain asked themselves in disbelief.

As for the Daluo Realm, the kings and commanders at this time all had very complicated feelings.

"It seems that it won't be long before my Daluo Realm will have another king..." The Shura King said in a low voice with a serious expression as he stood in front of his Shura Palace.

Xu Qing, who was standing behind King Shura, sighed softly at this moment. If he was still a little dissatisfied with Liu Bai in the matter of Daluo Jinchi, now he has developed some admiration for Liu Bai's actions.

Although this guy seems to have never had a stable life since joining Daluo Tianyu, every action he takes can bring huge benefits to himself and Jiuyou Palace. No wonder Jiuyou relies on him so much.

As for what his own palace master said, although Xu Qing felt that it was a bit exaggerated, it was not impossible to happen.

With the cultivation and combat capability displayed by Liu Bai, I am afraid that as long as he can be promoted to the fourth-grade supreme realm, it will be enough to obtain the title of king.

At this moment, Liu Baizheng and Jiuyou, who were far away in Leiyu City, were sorting out their harvest.

"323,000 drops of Supreme Spirit Liquid, and countless spiritual objects, spiritual techniques, and divine arts. These are all ready-made benefits. As for the rest, there are countless cities in the Thunder Fire Plain, including hundreds of second-rate cities, 34 first-rate cities, and three top cities. These will be able to provide our Jiuyou Palace with at least 200,000 Supreme Spirit Liquids every year in the future!"

Jiuyou looked at the record scroll and couldn't help but smile.

This almost directly expanded the territory of Jiuyou Palace by more than two-thirds!

Especially the three top cities, except for the Dihuo City which was severely damaged and its reconstruction may take a lot of resources and time. As for Leiyu City, only the outer city was seriously affected by the war, but the inner city was completely unscathed.

As for Zhan Yue City, there was no damage at all and it is still operating normally today.

These three cities are no less powerful than the Lion and Tiger Mountain, and their annual attacks will occupy three-fifths of the entire distribution plain, so they are the focus of Jiuyou's attention.

"As for these supreme spiritual liquids, I'll give you 50,000 as a reward and to repay your previous expenses, and then take out another 50,000 as rewards for other people, and the rest will belong to me. Do you have any objection?" Jiu You turned her head, staring at Liu Bai's face with her beautiful eyes, and spoke with her red lips pursed.

Liu Bai smiled gently, "You are the master of Jiuyou Palace. How to distribute these spoils will naturally be up to you, Lord Jiuyou."

Listening to Liu Bai's slightly teasing voice, Jiu You snorted, and then whispered: "If I wasn't about to break through and needed a large amount of Supreme Spirit Liquid, I wouldn't bother with these."

Liu Bai smiled when he heard that. He didn't expect that Miss Jiuyou could be so arrogant.

But speaking of breakthroughs, it seems that after becoming wealthy, Jiuyou's cultivation has improved a lot faster. If he can successfully break through to the fifth-grade supreme this time, Jiuyou will no longer be at the bottom among the kings, which is also a good thing for Jiuyou Palace.

"Oh, by the way, here are some things you might like. Let me show you..." Jiuyou suddenly seemed to remember something and took out a scroll and a set of small red flags.

Liu Bai took it and the system prompt sounded in his ears instantly.

"I have discovered the seventh-level formation (low-level earth grade) Red Cloud Formation. Would you like to record it?"

Liu Bai's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that it was another seventh-level formation diagram. Although it was only a low-level earth-grade formation and could not compare to the complete version of the Demon Lotus Soul-Slaying Formation, it was enough to severely damage a fourth-grade supreme-level enemy. For Liu Bai now, it was another means of mass destruction.

Moreover, with Liu Bai's current level of cultivation, he is already very familiar with arranging this kind of low-grade spiritual formation. Even in the middle of a battle, he can set up the formation without anyone noticing, and then deal a fatal blow to the enemy!

As for the set of small red flags, they were actually a set of battle formation flags!

The so-called formation flags, as the name suggests, are spiritual flags used to arrange large formations.

This kind of thing was quite popular in ancient times, but with the war, countless inheritances were destroyed, and the method of making this flag was lost. Nowadays, only those spiritual formation masters who have ancient inheritance can refine this thing. Most of the things circulating in the outside world are ancient artifacts that have been passed down from ancient ruins.

This is very similar to the spirit array that Muchen obtained in the original novel, except that the formations engraved on the spirit array are mostly level five and below. When it comes to the level of level six formations, a small spirit array cannot accommodate them, so this set of formation flags came into being.

This set of formation flags is also a seventh-level formation. Specifically, it is also of low earth grade, and its power is similar to that of the Red Cloud Formation. However, this formation flag is not only used by spiritual formation masters. Even those who know nothing about spiritual formations only need to place these nine formation flags in a fixed position and activate them with enough spiritual power to control the formation against the enemy.

Therefore, this formation of flags is essentially the same as a spiritual weapon.

Liu Bai pondered for a moment and said, "I will accept this formation diagram, but as for the formation flags, leave them with me for the time being. Let me study the Dutian Fiery Fire Formation engraved on these formation flags. I think with my current formation realm, it should not be difficult to figure out this formation diagram. You can take back these formation flags when the time comes."

Jiuyou raised his eyebrows slightly, "You are really confident. Do you think you can research a seventh-level formation just by saying so? And this formation flag is of no use to me."

"If it's useless to you, you can give it to someone else, like Xiao Bing'er. If you have this flag in your hand, it will be like having an extra trump card to protect yourself."

"Oh, you are very nice to Xiao Bing'er. What's the matter? Do you have any special ideas?"

Liu Bai was speechless for a moment, looking at Jiuyou's half-smile, not knowing whether the other party was serious or joking.

"You're overthinking it. I'm just giving you an example. This flag is of no use to you or me. Considering your relationship with Tang Bing, wouldn't it be a good idea to give it to them?"

Regardless of whether Jiuyou's question was a joke or not, Liu Bai would not give the other party any handle and his answers were flawless.

Jiuyou curled his lips, seeming to be disdainful of Liu Bai's slick answer.

Just when she wanted to say something else, a sudden figure interrupted her again.

Liu Bai did not see the petite figure that suddenly appeared behind him, but only after seeing Jiuyou's astonished look did he sense something.

Looking back, the little Loli Mandala in a black dress was standing there quietly, her dark pupils looking at the two of them indifferently, which made Liu Bai and Jiuyou feel a chill in their hearts.

This was the second time this happened, so Jiuyou had gradually gotten used to it. So he just gave Liu Bai a look and packed up and left.

Liu Bai understood Jiuyou's last look, touched his nose awkwardly, then looked at the mandala that suddenly appeared, and said in surprise: "Why are you here? I thought you couldn't leave Daluotian."

Mandala frowned when she heard this. She found that Liu Bai's tone seemed to show that he knew her a little bit, and this time he didn't have the cautious attitude as before.

With a flash of light, Mandala narrowed her eyes, and in her clear voice, there was a hint of vicissitudes that did not match her face, she said, "You know my identity?"

"Uh..." Liu Bai choked, knowing that his casual tone just now seemed to have revealed something.

But he was not nervous. He hesitated for a moment and said, "It's just a little guess..."

"The Daluo Golden Pond is a forbidden area of ​​the Daluo Heavenly Domain. It is usually strictly sealed off. Even powerful people like the Three Emperors cannot enter and exit at will. You can sleep in the deepest part of the Daluo Golden Pond, and it seems that you have been sleeping for quite a long time. I also heard that the Lord of our Daluo Heavenly Domain has not shown up for many years, so with a little deduction, I can get a possibility. That is, you are the Lord of the Daluo Heavenly Domain..."

A golden light flashed in Mandala's eyes, and then a terrifying aura pressed towards Liu Bai.

At this moment, Liu Bai felt like a candle in the wind, which could go out at any time.

"What? Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?" Mandala couldn't help but ask as he looked at the man who was trying his best to resist the pressure of his breath but there was no panic on his face.

Liu Bai was somewhat speechless, and said: "Don't you still need me to help you suppress the curse? How can you kill me so easily? And I don't think I have committed any crime that deserves death, right? No matter who you are, there is no reason to kill me."

Mandala curled her lips slightly, seeming a little disappointed with Liu Bai's calmness.

After retracting her aura, she continued to look at Liu Bai indifferently and said, "It's better not to use this kind of cleverness in the future, especially when facing someone who can control your life and death at any time, because you can't be sure whether the other party will kill you directly in the next moment."

"Okay, don't reveal my identity for now. Come, give it to me..."

Liu Bai: "..."

Can you speak in full when you speak, otherwise it is easy to be misunderstood. Especially since you still keep your little Lolita form, if you are discovered by some powerful people, they will directly harmonize you!

With the little girl Mandala's insatiable demands, Liu Bai was once again drained for the entire day.

There was no way. His current cultivation was still too weak, and he could only draw out so much of the Five Elements Sealing Power. However, the appetite of this Mandala was growing, and he could only be drained again and again.

"Do you like war very much?" Mandala suddenly looked at Liu Bai and asked lightly.

"Uh, no, I'm not some murderous demon, why would I like war?" Liu Bai was stunned for a moment, scratched his head, and said, "The so-called war is all for resources. If Jiuyou Palace wants to grow stronger, it must have enough resources. If it can't expand inward, then it can only expand outward."

Liu Bai thought Mandala was asking why he insisted on invading the Thunder Fire Plain this time, so he gave a brief explanation.

After all, I am now a member of the other party's team, so I should be sensible at this time.

"You don't need to tell me these things. I just think that you have done your best in serving me these days. As a reward, if you want, I can directly let the Daluo Tianyu and the Baizhanyu start a war of conquest."

"Damn..." Liu Bai cursed in his heart and looked at Mandala with disbelief.

"Are you serious?"

If it were anyone else, knowing Mandala's identity, or simply being threatened by Mandala's strength, they would not dare to speak like this. However, as a young man who grew up in a new society in his previous life, Liu Bai would abide by the rules of etiquette, but he lacked a sense of respect and inferiority in his heart. Therefore, whether he was facing Beiming Longkun or Mandala now, he did not feel timid.

Of course, this may be the confidence brought by the system's plug-in.

Mandala glanced at this guy again, and did not punish Liu Bai for his tone. He just said lightly: "The Hundred Battles Domain has been in friction with the Daluo Heavenly Domain for decades. Whether it is for resources or for the dignity of the Daluo Heavenly Domain as a top force, this war of conquest will begin, but the timing depends on my mood."

Mandala had been suppressing her curse in the Golden Pool, so she had no energy to pay attention to the provocation of the Hundred Battles Domain. Because she knew very well that the reason why the Hundred Battles Domain was so restless was that there was someone supporting it behind the scenes.

The purpose is actually very simple, which is to test the strength of Daluo Tianyu, or to test the strength of her as the master of Daluo Tianyu.

Among all the leaders of the top forces in the Northern Realm, Mandala is the most mysterious, because she rarely shows up, and even if she does, she is shrouded in a ball of golden light. Almost no one has ever seen her true form.

Although this method can keep her mysterious and hard to figure out, over time it will inevitably make people suspicious and begin to test her.

Especially since Mandala rarely appears even in its own territory, it is inevitable that people will have bad thoughts.

This Hundred Battles Domain is just a chess piece used by others to test her. Otherwise, how could those three major forces dare to provoke a hegemonic existence like the Daluo Heaven Domain? Wouldn't that be courting death!

The appearance of Liu Bai allowed Mandala to find a way to suppress her own curse in advance, so she didn't have to sleep anymore. Then there was naturally no need to delay the war of conquest, so she could take this opportunity to start it directly.

Chapter 191 The Supreme Heart Demon Sutra

The war of conquest in Daluo Realm is not comparable to the small-scale fighting on a mere plain of thunder and fire like that of Liu Bai and his men.

Of course, a battle of this scale cannot be accomplished with just a few words, so after Mandala spread the news, the entire Daluo Realm began to operate.

Although it seemed a bit abrupt, with the order given by the Domain Lord himself, the forces of the kings, led by the Three Emperors, and the entire Daluo Realm all began to move, and countless armies began to gather.

Daluo Heaven, Daluo Palace.

This hall is located at the highest point of Daluo Heaven, and now almost all the high-level officials in Daluo Heaven are gathered in the hall. The whole hall is quiet and silent. An invisible sense of oppression makes these people who are looked up to by countless people in Daluo Heaven dare not speak loudly.

Liu Bai also followed Jiu You and stood in the hall. He looked towards the front of the hall. At the very front, the Three Emperors were standing with their hands behind their backs. They did not look as majestic as usual.

At the highest point in the hall, the golden and stone throne shone with golden light. Its not-so-dazzling luster made no one dare to look directly at it.

This was already the second day since Liu Bai and his party returned, but this time only Jiuyou and Liu Bai returned. The army of Jiuyou Palace was still stationed in the Leihuo Plain, and even this time the fifty major cities under the Jiuyou Palace would send out another million troops, which would join forces with the army of the Leihuo Plain, gathering millions of troops and directly attacking deep into the Hundred Battles Domain.

As Liu Bai was looking at him curiously, the golden throne shone brightly, and then everyone in the hall immediately lowered their heads and shouted, "Welcome, Lord Territory Master!"

As a storm-like pressure swept over, a golden figure appeared on the throne.

Liu Bai secretly took a peek and saw that the light seemed to be wearing a golden cloak. The golden light was so diffuse that it was impossible to see its exact appearance.

It seems that Mandala doesn't want her loli-like figure to appear in the eyes of too many people, otherwise it will affect her image as the Lord of the Daluo Heavenly Territory...

Mandala was hidden in the light and shadow, sitting quietly on the throne. The oppressive feeling was so strong that even the space could not bear it and became distorted.

"Ah."

After a vague response, a hoarse voice slowly came out: "You all already know what happened. Next, our Daluo Tianyu will start a war of conquest, and our target is the Hundred Battles Domain."

As soon as these words were spoken, the eyes of many high-ranking officials and powerful men from the Daluo Realm in the hall were filled with excitement. Although they had already received the news and had begun preparations, they could only feel at ease when they heard the domain master say it himself.

“However, I will not take action lightly this time, because behind Bai Zhan Domain is the figure of Tian Xuan Palace. Otherwise, even if those inferior guys in Bai Zhan Domain were given a hundred courage, they would not dare to provoke Daluo Tian Domain like this.”

When these words were spoken, everyone present except Liu Bai was stunned.

“No wonder the Hundred Battles Domain has become more and more arrogant over the years. It turns out that it has the support of the Tianxuan Palace.” Emperor Tianjiu frowned and said in a deep voice.

Emperor Lingtong also nodded and said, "My Daluo Tianyu and Tianxuan Palace are both overlords of the Northern Realm. If the conflict causes too much noise, now is not the time."

The Great Hunting War is only a few years away, so they naturally do not want to conflict with forces of the same level, as this will only allow others to benefit.

"If it's just the Hundred Battles Domain, there's no need for you to take action, Lord Domain Master. The three of us are enough."

"hope so."

Mandala nodded slightly, and his pair of golden eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts as he scanned the entire hall. Everyone who was caught by his gaze bowed more humbly.

Naturally, Liu Bai didn't dare to speak independently at this time, and he just lowered his head and listened quietly to what Mandala, the little loli, said next.

"In this war of conquest, all the territories opened up will belong to whoever opens them up and occupies them. In addition, I will give you a generous reward."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

The eyes of many powerful men in the hall suddenly became hot. In the past, most of the gains from opening up the territory would be directly handed over to Daluo Tianyu, but this time, all of it was distributed out to Daluo Tianyu. What a huge cake that would be!

The happiest person about this was Jiuyou, because their Jiuyou Palace had just swallowed a mouthful of fat meat, and now someone was bringing more fat meat to their mouths, and they would be doing a shame if they didn't eat it.

But at the same time, Jiuyou was a little worried, because she suddenly found that she had too few available people. Now it was already stretched just to arrange the Thunder and Fire Plain. If she acquired more territories, wouldn't it be even more difficult to arrange?

This is really a happy trouble...

After arranging everything, Mandala did not pay any special attention to Liu Bai and simply turned into golden light and disappeared.

Afterwards, the Three Emperors jointly announced an order to conquer. From this moment on, all forces belonging to the Daluo Realm can invade the Hundred Battles Realm. How much benefit they can get this time depends on their own abilities!

As soon as the news got out, countless people were gearing up for a try, and even many forces had decided to put all their assets on the line.
