Thus, a special team composed of mysterious Soul Masters quietly set off. They were skilled at concealing their presence and moving stealthily, evading the layers of sentry posts of the Sun army.
At the same time, Xu Yang's Nascent Soul transformation had reached its most critical moment. New Sun True Intent frantically poured into his soul, and his body shone brightly, as if about to break through the confines of the closed-door cultivation room.
The golden light penetrated the walls, and the dazzling light made the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who were waiting outside feel afraid, fearing that the entire closed-door cultivation room would suddenly explode and kill him.
The golden light instantly dissipated, replaced by a scarlet light.
Inside the closed-door cultivation room, Xu Yang's eyes were tightly closed, suspended in the air. The Asura Demon Sword at the center of his brow bloomed with a dazzling light, and the scarlet light, like strands of silk, spread down from the center of Xu Yang's brow, flowing to his whole body.
Wherever it passed, the scarlet light would pour into his body, strengthening Xu Yang's muscles, bones, and cells. The remaining scarlet light finally gathered in Xu Yang's right hand and was absorbed by the Sun Sacred Blade within.
A deep and dignified voice followed closely: "Using Slaughter Will and Sun True Intent to transform the Nascent Soul. The test is passed. Facing difficulties calmly, knowing how to make trade-offs, and using wisdom and effort to successfully integrate Slaughter Will and Sun True Intent. The first test is over, Asura affinity increased by five percent, currently at five percent overall."
The tingling sensation that spread throughout his body almost made Xu Yang groan. This feeling was very comfortable, but it was still far from the warmth that the Nascent Soul brought him at this moment.
Xu Yang's eyes looked at the stone in the corner of the wall not far away. With a slight movement of his Divine Sense, the stone floated up. As his mind changed, it began to shuttle continuously in the room, and the 'buzzing' sound of breaking through the air resounded throughout the room.
"The quality of Divine Sense is indeed not comparable to Spiritual Power!"
After Spiritual Power transformed into Divine Sense, it finally changed from formless to tangible, possessing the ability of physical attack. This was also the reason why the stone could be held by Divine Sense and shuttle in the air.
However, the real function of Divine Sense was not to attack, but to perceive the world. At this step, Xu Yang's Micro Control perception finally reached the molecular level. The consumption of using Soul Skills and Divine Skills was smaller, the power was greater, and the recovery was terrifyingly fast, almost equivalent to a perpetual motion machine.
Under this kind of control, his cultivation quickly consolidated, and he pushed open the door and left the closed-door cultivation room.
Looking at the clear sky, Xu Yang felt exceptionally comfortable. After greeting the sect disciples next to him, he turned into a stream of light and flew towards Heaven Dou City.
Although he had been in closed-door cultivation during this period, he was not completely ignorant of what was happening on the continent. Chen Xin often told him about the situation on the continent and what was happening, so he was also very aware of the situation on the continent and knew that Ning Fengzhi was now stabilizing the situation in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Therefore, after he left the closed-door cultivation, he flew directly towards Heaven Dou City.
In the high sky, looking at the desolate city below, the bustling crowd, and the soldiers and knights everywhere, they held weapons similar to rifles from his previous life in their hands. That was the new weapon developed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a Soul Power rifle fired by a Soul Power battery.
It was only a Tier 2 Soul Tool, and its power was not great, only able to threaten Soul Elders, but its advantage was that it could fire continuously and could be used by non-Soul Masters.
Coupled with fixed-mounted Soul Tool cannons and shells, this allowed the Sun army to easily defend Jialing Pass, resulting in such an exaggerated battle damage ratio.
Flying in the air, Xu Yang could feel the unease of the civilians and soldiers below. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's still better in peaceful times, without having to be so frightened. And when did I remove myself from the ranks of these ordinary people? I clearly climbed up from the bottom."
At this moment, Xu Yang's heart became extremely quiet, and the goal in his heart was clearer than ever. He wanted to unify the entire continent and let this continent embark on the path of China on the Blue Star in his previous life.
Now he could be considered to have barely achieved true freedom.
According to the saying in his previous life, freedom was not doing whatever you wanted, but not doing what you didn't want to do. Since he didn't want the world to be like this, then he would let this world see what the crushing of knowledge and cognition was.
While his thoughts were flowing, Xu Yang also arrived at Heaven Dou City.
"Teacher!"
Entering the imperial palace hall, Xu Yang saw the busy figure in front of the sand table at a glance and called out softly.
"Yang Er, you're out of closed-door cultivation!"
Ning Fengzhi, who was worried about the constant outbreaks of turmoil in various places, looked up and saw the handsome and amiable young man. The worry between his brows also eased. He quickly put down the information in his hand and said happily, "I thought your God Test would take a long time?!"
"It's been hard on you, Teacher, during this time, which made it impossible for me to concentrate on closed-door cultivation."
"What's so hard about that? If it weren't for you, Yang Er, perhaps I would still be an ordinary Soul Saint today, working hard all day to revitalize the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"..."
After a brief chat, Ning Fengzhi handed the intelligence in his hand to Xu Yang and said in a deep voice, "In the past few days, many previously stable cities on the border have begun to experience unrest again. Coincidentally, the Spirit Empire has started attacking the Star Luo Empire. I suspect that Spirit Hall's Soul Masters are behind this, with the aim of preventing us from supporting the Star Luo Empire."
Xu Yang glanced through the intelligence and understood the situation, "Bibi Dong saw that we have no one available, so she made this move."
Ning Fengzhi sighed quietly, "Indeed!"
Despite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now controlling the territory of the former Heaven Dou Empire, there are not many people they can use. Those within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with both strength and management skills have already been sent out by Ning Fengzhi. As for the nobles and officials of the former Heaven Dou, most of them are useless, and Ning Fengzhi does not trust them, so they are not given important positions.
This has led to Ning Fengzhi's insufficient control over the current territory, making it impossible to truly contend with the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire.
In order to completely control the former Heaven Dou Empire, even Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan have been sent out by Ning Fengzhi to oversee matters in Winchester City.
This is not something that strength can solve, but a matter of numbers. Even if Xu Yang's cultivation is now the best in the world, he cannot take care of so many territories at the same time. The only thing he can do now is to discover talents and gain control of the current territory.
Xu Yang pondered for a moment and said, "Teacher, I just heard you say that Master's Wife, Uncle Ning, and Senior Dugu have gone to the Tianshui, Chihuo, and Shenfeng Academies. The problem of lacking people should be resolved soon. So, our biggest problem now is the instability of the territory. The biggest reason for this is that the nobles in the major cities do not submit to our rule, and coupled with the instigation of the Spirit Hall, the current riots have occurred.
The empire I envision for the future does not need the existence of such people, so I plan to take action personally and directly sweep through the entire empire, suppressing any dissenting voices."
