Xiao Lingyu had ascended to the Divine World not long ago, but Miao Ying had ascended to the Divine World a long time ago.
However, even if Miao Ying ascended to the Divine World first, she would not be able to reach the Monarch God Realm. With her talent, reaching the Heavenly God Realm should not be a problem.
After reaching the Heavenly God Realm, one would be able to leave the small mountain village and gradually see the real Divine World. However, it was also the most dangerous period.
The Deities and Great Gods of the Divine World were not considered dangerous. They lived in the small mountain villages and lived with the simple villagers. Their lives were peaceful and comfortable, especially for female cultivators.
Once they reached the Heavenly God Realm, they would leave the small mountain village. In order to continue improving, they would go to more dangerous places to seek opportunities. If they were not careful, they would be killed by other cultivators or Demonic Beasts. After all, Heavenly Gods were not considered experts.
With Miao Ying's temper, she would not stay in a small mountain village for long. She could calculate the approximate time of Xiao Lingyu's ascension. Perhaps she had already taken the initiative to look for Xiao Lingyu.
If he were to develop the Wildfire step by step, it would take too long. Xiao Lingyu could not afford to wait, and he did not need to wait. With his strength, it was easy for him to recruit or capture some God King Stage experts to work for him.
Xiao Lingyu also knew that the rise of any force would be met with many obstacles. Even in the narrow Divine World, the prerequisite for a force to be called a big force was to have a God Emperor Stage expert.
Without a God Emperor Stage expert, even if there were hundreds or thousands of God Kings, they would not be able to fight against a big force with a God Emperor Stage expert.
Moreover, without a God Emperor Stage expert, it was impossible to have hundreds or thousands of God Kings to work for you.
Xiao Lingyu could now easily kill any God King without a Saint Weapon, but if he faced a God Emperor, it was very likely that he would not be able to take a single blow.
However, once he successfully broke through to the Seventh Revolution, he would not need to be afraid of God Emperor Stage experts.
With his current realm, he could already release four Late Stage God King illusory monsters from the sacred treasure Yin Yang Mirror. The moment he reached the seventh revolution, those four illusory monsters would definitely reach the Early Stage God Emperor Realm. His Four Symbols Domain would also become stronger.
Most importantly, after advancing to rank seven, he would be able to truly refine his three sacred artifacts.
If Xiao Lingyu hadn't had the three sacred weapons and cultivated the Nine Revolution Chaos Mantra as an ordinary chaos cultivator, he would've been stronger than an ordinary Divine Lord at the sixth revolution, a Divine King at the seventh revolution, and a Divine Emperor at the eighth.
However, he wasn't an ordinary chaos cultivator. He had too many special traits. That was why he could fight ordinary god emperors as long as he reached the seventh revolution.
Since Xiao Lingyu had decided to stay, there was no need for Wildfire to leave the city.
While Xiao Lingyu was thinking about how to quickly grow, she suddenly thought of the Heavenly Bandits in the Demon Realm and the Heavenly Bandits' experience of growing stronger.
In the God Realm, there were also many bandit groups …
"When we were hunting Night Demons in Yong An, everyone had accumulated a lot of God Stones. There's no need for us to accept any missions. I'll give you all a temporary mission. Go and look around for a bigger bandit group."
Xiao Lingyu casually chose a place to set up camp and instructed Zou Gen and the others.
Zou Gen and the others didn't understand, but they still did as instructed.
The Flowing Fire Mercenaries had set up camp on a mountaintop at the edge of the Floating Cataclysm Mountains. News of this matter soon reached the city of Duhu. As the former master of the Flowing Fire Mercenaries, the Steward of Duhu naturally could not sit idly by and do nothing. Guan Yiwei of the Steward of the Steward brought many of the Steward's experts to the door.
"Long time no see, Brother Guan. How have you been?"
Xiao Lingyu flew out of the camp and greeted him politely.
"Brother Xiao, my Guan Clan has treated you well, but you repaid kindness with ingratitude and took away my Guan Clan's Flowing Fire Mercenary Group. You have to give my Guan Clan an explanation for this!" Guan Yiwei said, seemingly furious.
"This is all in the past. Everyone knows who's right and who's wrong. Let's not talk about this for now. Brother Guan, you've brought so many people over. If you're here as guests, I'll naturally welcome you. If you're here to denounce me, then you should go back and sleep. You're not enough."
Xiao Lingyu's tone was calm, but it was domineering and confident.
"It looks like Brother Xiao has improved quite a bit over the years. Let me see what you're capable of!"
Guan Yiwei was naturally unconvinced. After all, it hadn't been that long. He didn't believe that Xiao Lingyu was comparable to a Godly King. Guan Yiwei was known to be invincible below the Godly King level, so he was confident that he could fight Xiao Lingyu.
But what Guan Yiwei didn't expect was that when he used his folding fan to attack, his opponent would only need to stretch out a hand to easily receive it.
When Guan Yiwei charged forward and fought Xiao Lingyu in close combat, he only managed to exchange one move before Xiao Lingyu slapped him on the shoulder.
That slap was extremely powerful and domineering. Guan Yiwei felt that his body was as weak and powerless as a withered leaf in the wind.
"Brother Guan, I won't kill you on account of your relationship with Miss Jing. I won't make things difficult for your housekeeper either. You can leave now and don't provoke me in the future."
Xiao Lingyu displayed some of his techniques to intimidate the Guan experts before turning around to leave.
Guan Yiwei was indeed intimidated. He steadied himself with a look of disbelief on his face.
He had always thought of himself as a rare cultivation genius. His speed of improvement far surpassed that of his peers. However, after his battle with Xiao Lingyu, he finally understood what it meant by 'there is always someone better than you out there.'
"You can go back first."
Guan Yiwei waved at the other Guan experts before chasing after Xiao Lingyu to the Wildfire's campsite.
Xiao Lingyu sensed that Guan Yiwei had entered the campsite. He stopped and asked with a smile, "Brother Guan, are you here to be a guest or to denounce me?"
Guan Yiwei said, "I'm here to be a guest."
Xiao Lingyu invited Guan Yiwei to a living room. The two of them sat opposite each other and he arranged some wine and fruits.
"Brother Xiao, what are your plans after returning?"
After three rounds of wine, Guan Yiwei asked.
"Brother Guan, don't worry. I said that I won't make things difficult for your Guan Yiwei," Xiao Lingyu replied.
"Although my Guan Yiwei made some mistakes, we haven't let you down. Naturally, you won't make things difficult for us. What I mean is, if you have any long-term plans, I can fully support you on behalf of my Guan Yiwei, "Guan Yiwei said sincerely.
"Haha, Brother Guan, you want to rope me in so soon?" Xiao Lingyu said with a smile.
"I'm not trying to rope you in. I just want to cooperate with you," Guan Yiwei said as he shook his head.
Xiao Lingyu knew that Guan Yiwei's attitude had changed because he had witnessed his strength.
In the Realm of the Gods, only the strong could stand tall.
"To be honest, with your current strength, you really don't have the right to talk about cooperation with me," Xiao Lingyu said firmly.
When Xiao Lingyu said this, it wasn't because he was arrogant. Instead, it was a technique used by the strong side when talking about cooperation.
Guan Yiwei was also a proud person. When he heard Xiao Lingyu say this, his expression naturally turned ugly. However, after thinking for a moment, he changed his words and said, "Let's say that my Guan Yiwei is trying to curry favor with Brother Xiao."
"Can Brother Guan make the decision on this matter?" Xiao Lingyu asked again.
"Whether I can make the decision or not, I'm sure Brother Xiao knows in his heart," Guan Yiwei said.
"As long as your Guan Yiwei is sincere enough, our mercenary group doesn't mind having the support of another ally."
Xiao Lingyu first nodded, then asked curiously, "Your Guan Yiwei is doing well in Du Hu City. Why do you want to curry favor with other powers?"
Guan Yiwei smiled bitterly and said, "In the Realm of the Gods, which power, including some clans, doesn't have someone backing them? Even the Kou Clan of the Changle Region and the Family Jiang of Yong An wouldn't have been able to stay strong for long if they didn't have the support of the Sheng God. If my Guan Yiwei doesn't have the support of an expert, it'll be difficult for us to develop in a small place like Du Hu City. How can we talk about long-term development and strength? "
"I feel that Brother Guan hasn't given the real reason," Xiao Lingyu said.
Guan Yiwei smiled bitterly again and nodded, "Brother Xiao's eyesight is really good. I won't hide it from Brother Xiao. Actually, my Guan Yiwei doesn't have much ambition. However, when the Family Jiang forcefully took Jing 'er away and we didn't even dare to breathe loudly, everyone in the clan was stifled. Although they didn't say it, I could see from their expressions that they also wanted the clan to become stronger. As for me, I naturally want the clan to become stronger more than them because I swore to take Jing 'er away from the Family Jiang. "
"The Family Jiang isn't easy to deal with. Brother Guan, you have a long way to go," Xiao Lingyu said with a sigh.
"No matter how difficult it is, I have to work hard for Jing 'er. Even if I fail and die, at least I can rest in peace," Guan Yiwei said seriously.
"Brother Guan, you came at the right time. I do have the intention to strengthen my subordinates, but no matter what happens in the future, I won't help Brother Guan steal from the Family Jiang. Everything will have to be done by Brother Guan's own efforts."
Xiao Lingyu admired Guan Yiwei for his loyalty, but he wouldn't take on everything himself.
After the initial discussion, Guan Yiwei hurriedly left. Not long after, his mother, who was the Guan Family's Divine King, came looking for him again.
The Divine King had come to test Xiao Lingyu's strength. Naturally, she was very surprised and satisfied with the results.
The Guan Family's allegiance had to be based on a soul oath that they wouldn't betray him. Of course, Xiao Lingyu didn't force them to swear loyalty to him, just that they wouldn't betray him or betray him.
Xiao Lingyu also gave the Guan Family a mission. He asked the Guan Family to secretly contact the families in Du Hu City and other small and medium-sized cities and ask them to join. As long as there was a family or a sizable faction in each city that was willing to join, it would be fine.
Zou Gen and the others quickly returned. They brought back information about the various bandit groups nearby. Xiao Lingyu personally led a team to subdue those bandit groups.
