Shennong Dao Master-Chapter 1166 - 12: Beitu King, Self Domain, and Death Replacement Grass Man!_4
Liu Tianning is 105 years older than him, already 306 years old.
Liu Tianning was just over two hundred when he broke through to the first rank.
Both of them came up through self-cultivation.
Of course, just looking at age doesn’t fully explain talent.
Like Liu Tianning and Zhao Xing both comprehended the Rule Domain early on, excelled in multiple techniques, and cultivated Pure Essence Soil... Liu Tianning also had to solve the drawbacks of the Ten Thousand Skill Grassman at the time, while Zhao Xing was cultivating for the Sky Strengthening Realm.
However, from the intel and Bing Tu King’s description, it can be seen that Ulik possesses top-tier talent!
"If they are all equally young, then talents like Ulik’s, or even stronger, might number in the dozens?"
"The fact that this Sith Grand Master Dius has cultivated so many strong individuals, the country’s fortune is just too powerful." Zhao Xing thought to himself.
"Based on what I saw in my previous life, the Sith Country later became the hegemon of the West Extreme Continent. At the founding of the country, they were favored by the heavens, which could explain the birth of so many strong individuals. Now this small world shows signs of a Primordial Qi Tide; perhaps this Sith Grand Master discovered a small world."
But after thinking it over, Zhao Xing still felt that there were many issues in this.
It’s not that other places can’t produce geniuses, but having so many appear intensively within a hundred years, all reaching such heights, seems exaggerated.
"If the Sith Clan obtained some enhancement during the end of the Jingxin Calendar, then it shouldn’t be due to the Primordial Qi Tide, as the Heavenly Realm might not have even begun experiencing Qi anomalies then."
"Qitian Palace was already among the earliest beneficiaries, and there’s no reason why the Sith Clan would be earlier and stronger." Zhao Xing’s mind filled with various speculations.
"Currently, the seven Spirit Lakes within me, with their Spiritual Energy turned into liquid, are extremely precious. If I wanted, I could also mass-produce some strong individuals. But because I need to consider ’manual Spiritual Energy revival’, I’ve been storing these Spiritual Liquids."
"This Sith Clan Grand Master must have also obtained a similar opportunity."
Zhao Xing could now be certain that Sith Clan Grand Master Dius had obtained some great opportunity, allowing him to produce strong individuals in a short amount of time.
As for whether this opportunity is related to the ancient temple Li Boqian once saw, that remains to be determined. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
"It’s best to capture Ulik and interrogate him."
"If it’s confirmed to be highly beneficial, a large army can be mobilized, allowing the strong individuals of Great Zhou to come perform a dimensional reduction strike."
The reason for not attacking the Western Extreme Continent is because there’s nothing to gain.
If there’s confirmed to be great gain, Great Zhou is like a hungry wolf eager to ascend!
With a plan in mind, Zhao Xing immediately said:
"Prince, Ulik is the commander leading the attack on the Moss State, responsible for your brother’s demise, slaughtering the citizens of Moss State and occupying its territory... a most heinous crime!"
"He must be taken down!"
"My mission here is to avenge you all."
"Rest assured, no one can block the path of Great Zhou’s righteous forces... Ulik is doomed!"
The vision laid out stirred up Prince Jin Ke and Bing Tu King, who immediately rose and bowed to Zhao Xing in gratitude.
After calming Prince Jin Ke and the others, Zhao Xing left the cabin and summoned Chen Shijie, Mi Fei, Hu Yang, and Zhang Tianxing to discuss matters.
"I intend to capture Ulik, the Venerable of Sith Country, alive. I suspect they harbor, have even greater ambitions."
Familiar with Zhao Xing, Chen Shijie always felt something odd about what he said, but couldn’t pinpoint what was off.
Zhao Xing said: "Hu Yang, Zhang Tianxing, take my seal and ride the Flying Boat back to the seven Grotto Heavens, two Blessed Lands in the Western Extreme State, and notify the garrison commanders to prepare for battle."
"My requirement is that as soon as my order arrives, they must be ready to immediately engage in the Western Continent Feudal States, for a war of annihilation!"
Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing exchanged looks, somewhat surprised, but since it was Zhao Xing speaking, there was no room for doubt.
"As you command!"
They promptly took Zhao Xing’s seal and set sail back.
Only Hu Yang and Zhang Tianxing can handle this more securely, as they both look like capital nobles.
Mi Fei and Chen Shijie don’t have that aura.
After the two left, Mi Fei couldn’t help but ask: "What’s going on, weren’t we supposed to use the barbarians’ forces against them? Is it somewhat imprudent to prepare to engage now?"
Angering another, Mi Fei’s directness would surely not be tolerated.
Old Chen was still present when the order was given, questioning it seemed very disrespectful.
But Mr. Zhao knew Mi Fei’s character well; he was someone capable of defying Emperor Wu, wielding authority liberally to cut Emperor Wu’s military budget. Such phrasing was already considered mild.
Zhao Xing smiled: "The Vassal States aren’t foolish; we must at least show our stance. Without even putting on a facade, how can we expect them to believe us?"
Mi Fei nodded, understanding Zhao Xing’s approach.
He was only concerned about the burden war might place on the citizens of his own country; regarding the subordinate Vassal States, they were all barbarians, beyond Mr. Mi’s patriotic and compassionate scope.
Chen Shijie, on the other hand, pondered the specifics of the plan: "Ulik, whom you want to capture alive, is the commander leading the campaign against Moss State, his strength reported to be at the Life Palace Realm Peak."
"Capturing him alive won’t be easy; relying on the troops of Moss State alone could make it difficult, possibly not even forcing Ulik to personally lead."
"To surround and strike him, first a strong army from the Vassal State must be assembled to lure him out."
Chen Shijie walked a few steps before the map, pointing to it: "Apart from Moss State, Beitu, Sake, and Ande, these three countries all share borders with the territories of the Sith Clan. Mobilizing troops from these four countries to form a coalition army would be easy."
