Cultivation Starts from Farming-Chapter 669 - 320: Compensation with Fourth Rank Puppet Materials
The lips of the female True Monarch curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile,
"Moreover, Yan Ruchen slew multiple Golden Core elders of the Red Sand Sect, leading to Yunqing Zhenren being retaliated against by the Red Sand Sect, severely injured, and his foundation destroyed."
"Thus there’s a significant enmity between the two. As long as we add fuel to the fire, the likelihood of them completely falling apart is quite high."
"Is there really such a thing?"
Emperor Tu’s face showed a hint of surprise, his thick eyebrows slightly raised.
In that case, this was indeed an excellent opportunity.
Dividing and disintegrating is far more effortless and easier to succeed than direct confrontation.
The Tu royal family, ruling the Great Xia Country for so many years, is best at this kind of behind-the-scenes manipulation.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Tu instructed, "Ziyao, I’ll leave this matter to you. In the Nascent Soul ceremony at the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons six months from now, represent the royal family."
"Ziyao, accepting the order."
Tu Ziyao bowed.
...
After Emperor Tu gave a few detailed instructions, he mentioned another significant matter.
Speaking of this matter, his expression suddenly became solemn, with an almost imperceptible worry.
"According to the Heaven-Suppressing Sect’s information, over a hundred years later, the Nanchuan and Wind Origin Realms will, due to spatial tides, form multiple stable spatial channels."
"What!"
Everyone in the hall was surprised, their eyes showing incredulity.
As Nascent Soul True Monarchs, they naturally understood what realm invasion meant.
Though the Tu royal family’s influence in nearby countries is undisputedly at the Overlord level.
Faced with realm invasion, it’s akin to a single leaf on the ocean, always at risk of being swallowed by giant waves and completely annihilated.
Emperor Tu’s profound eyes swept over each Nascent Soul True Monarch present, speaking in a deep voice, "Therefore, the campaign against the Great Yu Country must be advanced."
"Yes!"
All the Nascent Soul True Monarchs bowed in unison.
The campaign against the Great Yu Country isn’t just for the expansion of Great Xia’s territory, more importantly, it’s for reclaiming the long-lost National Treasure.
This Spirit Treasure, originally one with the Tu royal family’s existing National Treasure, was split into two.
If the two treasures reunite as one, their power will far exceed ordinary Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasures.
Then, using this National Treasure to suppress the imperial city, even Late-Stage Nascent Soul Great Cultivators would find it difficult to breach their royal city.
In this manner, perhaps they can preserve a pure land amidst the realm invasion’s tumultuous waves, allowing the Tu family’s rule to continue.
"Emperor Tu..."
Amidst the silence, Tu Ziyao softly spoke, her jade-like face showing a trace of hesitation:
"With realm invasion imminent, aren’t we weakening Great Xia’s overall force by dividing the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons?"
"Shouldn’t we wait until after the realm invasion to plan?"
Faced with life-and-death survival during such a realm invasion, internal strife indeed seems inappropriate and might even backfire.
Emperor Tu’s eyes flashed with a sharp light as he looked at Tu Ziyao, "Do you know that realm invasion is not only a crisis but also an opportunity?"
"Every significant upheaval is the moment for old orders to collapse and new ones to be established."
"Many heroes are born, and many former overlords are buried."
"With the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons’ current strength and fortune, there’s a tremendous opportunity for them to soar during realm invasion."
Emperor Tu’s eyes briefly flashed with killing intent, "If several more Nascent Soul True Monarchs rise in the Valley or if someone advances to Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, even after the realm invasion retreat, it would be difficult for the Tu family to overthrow them."
Though Emperor Tu’s voice was calm, it was filled with an undeniable resolve.
For the Tu family, this situation is absolutely unacceptable.
If during realm invasion, the Tu family’s power is damaged, and the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons rises instead, the Great Xia Country’s situation will inevitably change dramatically.
As the dominant ruler of the world, the Tu royal family will not allow any threat to its rule to exist.
"Ziyao has learned."
Tu Ziyao respectfully bowed, no longer voicing objections.
"Hmm."
Emperor Tu nodded slightly, "For now, don’t spread this matter to the outside. After the preparations for the campaign against the Great Yu Country are complete, disclose it at the right time."
"Yes."
Everyone in the hall bowed again.

...
Time flies, and the years pass swiftly.
Half a year is gone in a blink, as if it was just the snap of fingers.
Yunqing Zhenren’s Nascent Soul ceremony officially began.
For the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons, this is almost a once-in-a-century grand event, with the whole sect bustling, disciples from all peaks spreading the news joyfully.
But Xu Ping was completely relaxed.
Because he had long declined the invitation to attend, using the excuse of needing to stabilize his realm after breaking through Late-Stage Golden Core, avoiding this grand event.
As for Shuihu Mouse, it too did not attend.
Xu Ping knew very well that the Tu royal family would definitely send someone to this Nascent Soul ceremony.
If the person is too strong, noticing any anomaly would be unfavorable.
What’s more, the slight conflict with Yunqing Zhenren also made Xu Ping unwilling to meet him at such an occasion.
Celestial Cyan Peak.
In the underground cave dwelling, the light was gentle, and Spiritual Qi was abundant.
Xu Ping was wholeheartedly cultivating the "Cloud Heaven Sword Skill."
Eyes tightly closed, right hand holding a gleaming longsword, every move was accompanied by swirling sword light and Sword Qi, flowing seamlessly like clouds in the sky.
The Sword Skill’s brilliance lies in a single-minded approach, returning to simplicity and authenticity.
Each sword strike is like drifting clouds in the sky, appearing gentle, yet hiding countless variations.
This is the essence of the Cloud Heaven Sword Skill, winning by transformation, and the interplay of illusion and reality.
