Zhao Hai was extremely clear that his current strength was probably not even one-thousandth of his true identity. Under such circumstances, it would definitely not be an easy thing for him to fight against those of the higher worlds.
Fortunately, the higher worlds here should not be that strong. While the other party could use large artifacts, it did not mean that they would definitely be very powerful. A hot air balloon was not small. If they fought in the air, how could it compare to a fighter jet? Therefore, there were also differences in the quality of large artifacts.
Zhao Hai was really too familiar with the creation of large artifacts. He was extremely clear that large artifacts were not especially hard to create. Therefore, he was not worried that those of the Spirit Weapon World beyond Worlds would be as powerful as his true body.
However, even if the other party was not as powerful as his true body, they would definitely be a powerful opponent to him now. Therefore, he could not let his guard down, let alone the fact that he did not have any helpers by his side right now.
The Spirit Weapon Realm had a lot of River Breaking Realm experts. However, in Zhao Hai's opinion, the strength of these people wasn't anything special. Don't look at their reputation as River Breaking Realm experts. In the end, there were only a few people who could reach the Mountain Breaking Realm and River Breaking Realm. Moreover, even for such people, their strength would be easily blocked by the other party's formations. Because of this, if one wanted to fight against people from the higher realms, then they would need to be strong.
However, wanting to increase the strength of the people of the Spirit Weapon World within a short period of time was basically impossible. Let alone other things, even the laws of the heavens and earth would not allow it. The Spirit Weapon World, the Soul World and even the secret realms all belonged to planes of the same level. The people here could only cultivate to the Breaking River stage at most. Also, if they wanted to ascend, they would probably have to wait until they cultivated their mental strength.
However, due to the low level of these realms and the fact that they didn't have a method to cultivate mental strength like the magic civilization, there hadn't been much progress in the cultivation of mental strength for so many years. Therefore, the people of these realms had almost no possibility of ascending.
If they didn't ascend, then they wouldn't be able to come in contact with higher-level things. Therefore, the strength of their realms would always be very low. In this case, if the upper realms wanted to deal with them, it wouldn't be difficult. The difficult part would be coming down from the upper realms.
In this way, Zhao Hai would have no helpers. Even if he gathered the strength of all the people in the Spirit Weapon World, he might not be able to fight against the people from the Upper Realm. Therefore, if he wanted to increase the strength of the Spirit Weapon World, it was impossible to rely on cultivation alone. He could only rely on formations.
The use of formations was essential for cultivators. Artifacts needed formations, attacking enemies needed formations, protecting oneself needed formations, and even cultivation needed formations. As long as your formations were strong enough and good enough, it could greatly increase your strength in a short period of time.
The Three Thousand Great Paths, this sentence wasn't just for show. If you exert any kind of power to the extreme, you can touch the threshold of the Dao. It was the same for formations. Even the martial arts that the Spirit Weapon World cultivated were the same. However, the people in the Spirit Weapon World were far from cultivating their own energy to the point where they could ascend. Therefore, no one had ascended yet.
If Zhao Hai wanted to fight against the people from the Upper Realm, then he could only contact the entire Spirit Weapon World and use formations to make the Spirit Weapon World stronger in a short period of time. This was tantamount to pointing out another path for the Spirit Weapon World. However, Zhao Hai really didn't know if this was good or bad for the Spirit Weapon World.
The strength of the Spirit Weapon World's River Breaking Realm experts wasn't weak. If this situation continued, maybe after a few years, some of them could directly ascend with their own strength. Because they focused on martial arts, they would naturally touch the threshold of the Dao one day.
But now, Zhao Hai had no choice but to carry forward the power of the array formation. This was equivalent to letting the people of the spirit weapon world know that there was another path to take outside of the martial path. This would cause them to be distracted, which might cause their progress on the martial path to become slower.
This was like a person climbing a mountain. Originally, there was only one path. As long as he focused on climbing forward, he would reach the top sooner or later. However, if the person was halfway up the mountain and encountered a fork in the road, then the person would have to make a choice. If the person's mind wasn't strong enough, then the person would be distracted and the speed at which they reached the top would be slowed down.
But the current situation was that if they didn't make such a fork in the road, they would be finished. Not to mention walking to the top of the mountain, they would probably be crushed to death by the rocks on the mountain. In this case, it was inevitable to make a fork in the road.
Now that Zhao Hai had almost digested the formations, he was preparing to study it carefully. He wanted to see how much energy there was under the Holy Court Mountain. As long as there was enough energy, he could make a large formation here. In the future, even if they were to fight against the people from the Upper Realm, they would have a base.
Under normal circumstances, the Upper Realm wouldn't make a move against civilians. This was because they still needed civilians. No matter what they needed, they would always need someone to provide them with what they needed. Therefore, they wouldn't make a move against civilians. That way, Zhao Hai would only need some bases to deal with the people from the Upper Realm.
Moreover, almost all of the people who came down from the upper realms had one thing in common, and that was that they couldn't stay in the lower realms for too long. Zhao Hai had personally experienced the feeling of being rejected by the lower realms. To be honest, this feeling wasn't something that people could bear. Even if you were strong, you would still feel very uncomfortable when facing this kind of rejection. This was because it wasn't just the realm that was rejecting you, it was the Laws.
After taking a careful look at the magma pool, Zhao Hai drilled himself out of the pool. After that, Zhao Hai returned to the study room of the Holy Court. Ten days had already passed since they conquered the Holy Court. In these ten days, Zhao Hai had been staying in the Holy Court Mountain. If there were any important matters that the Lost Soul Empire needed him to deal with, they would use the transmission formation to send the matters to him.
Naturally, these matters weren't all handled by Zhao Hai. There were still a lot of things that weren't handled by him. At this time, Zhao Hai had already gathered the Sky Dance Realm experts that he had taken as slaves in the Lost Soul Empire. He had them form a group of advisors to help him deal with ordinary matters. Only important matters would be handled by him. The head of this group of advisors was Feng Lihua.
The reason why Zhao Hai had them form this group of advisors was because these people were his slaves. Using them would make him feel at ease. With these people helping him deal with his daily affairs, as well as his intelligence network in the Spirit Weapon Realm, he would be able to monitor every city. This way, the Bewildering Soul Empire would be able to develop healthily.
This wasn't to say that Zhao Hai was sinister, it was just that a person with a high position had to do this. To trust someone unconditionally was to be a fool. If this fool was an ordinary person, then he would be deceived a few times. But if this person was a person with a high position, then he would be finished. In the end, he wouldn't even know how he died.
Zhao Hai has always been a person with a high position. He can unconditionally trust a lot of people, but these people must have been with him for a long time. They must be absolutely loyal to him. Even if he ordered them to die, these people wouldn't even frown. With regards to these people, Zhao Hai was completely assured. However, as for other people, Zhao Hai absolutely didn't trust them. Especially the City Lords of the Lost Soul Empire. Zhao Hai couldn't completely trust them.
What kind of people were these City Lords? These people used to be City Lords, they were the ones who had the final say in the city-state. If such a person said that he didn't have any ambitions, who would believe it. If these people really had crooked thoughts and Zhao Hai didn't know about it, then he might end up being overturned in the gutter.
Because of this, Zhao Hai created this staff group. Not only would this staff group help Zhao Hai with his daily affairs, but it would also be responsible for Zhao Hai's intelligence network. In other words, although this staff group wasn't very eye-catching, it was actually a combination of the cabinet and the intelligence network. Its authority in the Lost Soul Empire was the greatest.
Because of this staff group, Zhao Hai was able to research his own formations with ease. This was because he had a lot of time to do so. He didn't need to worry about the Lost Soul Empire causing trouble.
It must be said that the current development of the Lost Soul Empire was very good. With the destruction of the Sacred Court, the shackles on the Lost Soul Empire had been removed. The people could finally live in peace and didn't need to worry about war.
At the same time, Zhao Hai also used this war weariness to reduce the army of the Lost Soul Empire. At this point, the Lost Soul Empire only had 3 million soldiers. This number was too small for an empire that controlled an entire plane.
However, Zhao Hai didn't have any other choice. After so many years of war, the population of the Spirit Weapon Realm had become scarce. Especially the young and strong. Sometimes, there would only be a few young and strong people in a village while the rest were old and weak. This situation not only affected the production of the village, it also affected the population. This made it very difficult for the Spirit Weapon Realm to recover.
Because of this, Zhao Hai decided to reduce the army and encourage people to have more children. This would allow the Spirit Weapon Realm to slowly recover.
As for the army, there was no need for too many. The things that the army used were mostly formations. For example, the Lightning Formation. As long as you learn it, it wouldn't take long for you to master it. You can even go to the battlefield. Although you weren't familiar with formations, as long as you learn it for a period of time, you can still become a qualified soldier.
Moreover, the retired soldiers weren't simple. Zhao Hai wanted them to return to their hometowns so that they could continue to train. He even wanted to train the people in their hometowns. This kind of training was just a simple military training. However, these people who had a military foundation would become the best reserve army in times of war. As long as they were gathered together, they would be able to undergo unified training. Then they would become qualified soldiers. This would also greatly shorten the time it would take for them to become an army.
