On the 11th of June, at noon, the scorching sun shone on the dense forest to the north of the Luo River Estuary Fortress. There were herds of muntjac deer in the forest, badgers running around, and pythons as thick as the mouth of a bowl slithered along the edge of the stream. This forest was classified as a forbidden area by the Eastern Capital. There were soldiers guarding the perimeter. Hunters and farmers were not allowed to enter, in case they were hurt by the spiritual beasts in the forest.
However, there was still a group of people in the forest. They were dressed in the summer military uniforms of the empire. Their armors were taken off and hung on the backs of horses. Wei Chou and Bai Yin were guarding this place with nearly a hundred guards of the Longdan Army Camp. Lin Muyu was cultivating in the forest.
After several days of cultivation, his strength had broken through again. This time, he was going to break through the Second Sky of the God King Realm and reach the 40th Grotto-Heaven Realm!
Under a towering ancient tree, Lin Muyu's eyes were tightly shut. His entire body was emitting a faint golden light. He was sitting on the ground, rippling with the power of the golden elephant wheel. Using the Formless Elephant Secret Art to promote his cultivation had become one of his instincts.
Sparks were bursting in the air. It looked normal, but in fact, the power in Lin Muyu's body was very shocking. Waves of God Waves were rushing towards the Hidden Gate. As long as he broke through this Hidden Gate, he would be among the God State Experts who were above the 40th Grotto-Heaven Realm.
However, it was already very difficult for those who had the Supremacy to cultivate. Even during the recovery period, it was quite difficult. The veins on his face were bulging and he was sweating. The grass around him had evaporated and turned into a pile of withered grass. The pythons and poisonous snakes that were entrenched in the distance, trying to sneak up on him, felt an inexplicable fear. They all screamed and left.
In their eyes, Lin Muyu's strength had completely exceeded the scope of a human being's ability.
"Pa pa pa pa" The sound of the power explosion became more and more frequent. When it finally died out, Lin Muyu's body trembled slightly. Finally, he had broken through successfully!
In his Yi Hai, a golden cloud was slowly rotating. This was the symbol of the new ability he had obtained after stepping into the 40th Grotto-Heaven Realm — Strategy!
The Divine Stratagem was the ability to see through other people's minds. It was no different from the legendary mind-reading ability, or even better. The scope of the Divine Stratagem was wider.
Mind reading was originally something that hurt others and oneself. Spying on others made Lin Muyu feel a little contemptuous.
He gritted his teeth and forcefully pushed the newly formed Floating Cloud into the depths of his Yi Sea. He did not want to have this ability!
However, when all the golden clouds had sunk into the Yi Hai, the Yi Hai could no longer remain calm. In the blink of an eye, waves surged and waves surged. Rays of golden energy pierced through the surface of the sea and shot into the sky.
"What's going on?"
Lin Muyu was surprised.
In the sky, a crack tore open. It was the Spiritual Scholar and the Beamon King who was in a daze followed behind him. The Spiritual Scholar gently waved his paper fan and smiled, "Successor, do you really not intend to obtain the power of divine strategy? This power of divine strategy is not something that ordinary people can have. It must be someone with outstanding talent and the right opportunity to awaken the power of divine strategy. This subordinate has seen the Pantheon Canon and there are less than ten percent of the people who have awakened the power of divine strategy. Successor, do you really not want it? "
"I don't want it."
Lin Muyu shook her head, "Prying into other people's minds will increase the burden on your own mind. Rather than that, it is better to be magnanimous, isn't it?"
"Successor, you are wise."
The Spiritual Scholar gently waved his paper fan and smiled, "That is why successor would rather give up the power of divine strategy. However, it is also a blessing."
"Oh? What blessing? "
"Since ancient times, there were a few people who gave up the power of divine strategy. However, only one or two people obtained this blessing. After giving up the power of divine strategy, the power of divine strategy would hibernate in the depths of the Yi Hai and form a barrier to prevent other people's spiritual power from invading. In other words, other God Emperors would not be able to see into the successor's mind. This ability is called the anti-divine strategy power in the Pantheon Canon. Now, successor has obtained this ability. This is really worthy of celebration!"
"I see!" Lin Muyu smiled, "This ability is not bad. It would not feel good to always be seen through by others."
"Yes …"
The Spiritual Scholar squinted his eyes and said, "Successor, I used my divine power to examine you and found that your Invisible Elephant Technique has improved a lot. I wonder how long more it will take for you to break through and step into the third stage — Hundred Elephants Demon Slaying?"
"I do not know either. However, there are already more than 70 elephant wheels in my Yi Hai that can be formed at the same time."
"That will be soon. Please continue to cultivate diligently, successor."
"Haha, Xu Hao, why are you urging me so much?"
"It is very simple." Scholar Ling cupped his fists respectfully and said, "His Majesty the Sky Emperor asked me to assist the successor. Firstly, it is to ensure that the successor does not die. I am incompetent and my cultivation is low, so I can only rely on the successor to protect himself. Therefore, the only thing I can do is to assist the successor with all the secrets of the ancient books I have learned. His Majesty the Sky Emperor passed me the Pantheon Canon to assist the successor."
As he spoke, the Spiritual Scholar gently opened his palm. Immediately, a golden scroll flipped rapidly in his palm. It was the legendary Pantheon Canon. It seemed that Fuxi had imparted many things. Although he was in the Sky Beyond Heaven, Fuxi seemed to be more concerned about everything that happened in the Eastern Heaven Realm than anyone else.
However, at this moment, the Pantheon Canon suddenly shone brightly and the pages trembled.
"What's going on?" Lin Muyu asked in shock.
Scholar Ling raised his head to look at the sky in the west. He couldn't help but frown as he said, "The Pantheon Canon seems to have sensed the fluctuations of the divine power of the Western Divine Realm. This is bad … Someone must have started to travel between planes again. Their target might be our Shattered Cauldron Realm.
"What?"
Lin Muyu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists. Immediately, she controlled the power of heaven and earth around her and said sternly, "Has the Western Divine Realm gone mad? Isn't it enough to send ten Battle Angels? Do they want to destroy us completely? "
"It seems so."
The Spiritual Scholar stared at the energy fluctuation on the Pantheon Canon. Only when the Pantheon Canon no longer shone did he take a deep breath and say, "Oh no, there are a total of 324 energy fluctuations. More than 50 of them belong to people above the Divine King level."
"…"
Lin Muyu didn't say anything else. She stepped on a branch and flew to the periphery. She stood proudly in the air and said to Wei Chou and the others, "Let's go back immediately. Pass down the order to strengthen the defenses of all cities. In addition, urge the Weapons Department to forge more Demonic Heart Arrows."
"Yes!"
As he spoke, he looked towards the south. According to the time, Shangguan Jingyue and Fengxi should have already reached the Dragon Slaying Pass, right?
… …
Dragon Slaying Pass. Summer was overflowing.
Feng Xi and the others took a small path and avoided the eyes of the Darkstone Empire's army. When they arrived outside the Dragon Slayer Pass, they saw the Violet Snow Flower flag still fluttering on the pass, and the other was a slightly smaller Battle Angel flag.
"It seems that Marquis Cangnan hasn't betrayed the empire."
Fengxi smiled in relief.
Shangguan Jingyue nodded, her beautiful face covered with sweat. Today's weather was unusually hot, so much so that she wanted to take off her long skirt. Only, the rest of the people here were all grown men. If she took off her clothes, it was hard to guarantee that these people would be able to control themselves. After all, after Lin Muyu came to power, she completely abolished the military concubine system. The soldiers of the Qin Empire … perhaps many of them hadn't touched a woman for many years.
"Halt!"
On the city wall, a general took up his bow and shot an arrow. "Puchi!" The arrow fell to the ground two meters in front of the hooves of Fengxi's war horse. The general shouted, "Who goes there?"
Fengxi took a Longdan Army Camp war flag from an attendant. On it was a large dragon-shaped insignia. He raised the war flag high and said loudly, "I am the commander of the rear army of the Longdan Army Camp, Fengxi. I have come to the Dragon Slaying Pass on the orders of the Qin Emperor. Please immediately open and close it."
"Your Excellency Fengxi?"
The general was startled and said, "Your Excellency, please wait a moment. This subordinate will go and report to the Marquis."
"Please hurry."
"Yes!"
… …
In the mansion within the Pass, Xiyin, Xu Jiantao, Xiang Yu and the others gathered together. After receiving the report, Xu Jiantao had an awkward expression and said, "Sure enough, what should come has come. Her Highness has actually sent Fengxi to the Dragon Slaying Pass. It seems that our news has already spread to the Eastern Capital. Your Excellency Xiyin, what do you think?"
"The Her Highness you are talking about, is it Lin Muyu?" Xiyin said softly. When she spat out the three words Lin Muyu, her heart unexpectedly throbbed for no reason. It made her rather flustered, but she couldn't say why it was like this.
"It is precisely the Qin Emperor, Lin Muyu. He is my Sovereign King."
Xu Jiantao said, "According to the original agreement, Your Excellency Xiyin will help me guard the Dragon Slaying Pass. However, this city still belongs to the Qin Empire. I have no reason to refuse Fengxi's entry into the city, so … Your Excellency Xiyin, what do you think?"
Xiyin closed her eyes and nodded. "Who you receive is your business. You are the master of the Dragon Slaying Pass. I and the Xiyin Army are merely guests."
"Good. Many thanks for Your Excellency Xiyin's understanding! Come, invite His Excellency Fengxi to enter the Pass and directly bring him to the meeting hall. "
"Yes!"
Not long after, the sound of galloping horses could be heard from the outside. Feng Xi was not the only one who had entered the meeting hall. A beautiful woman had also arrived. It was Shangguan Jingyue. When Shangguan Jingyue entered the meeting hall, she immediately saw Xi Yin who was wearing the Battle Angel's attire. She could not help but tremble and let out a cry. She stared at Xi Yin in a daze. She looked exactly the same. Her voice and smile were exactly the same as when Qin Yin had died in the Crimson Abyss!
"What's wrong, Excellency Shangguan?" Xiang Yu asked with a smile.
Shangguan Jingyue didn't care about overstepping her authority. She slowly walked forward until she was less than two meters away from Xiyin. She stared blankly at her exquisite face and said, "Is it really you? Is it really you? Your Highness … "
At the side, Tarilyn couldn't help but laugh. "Another one who has mistaken me for someone else."
Xiyin didn't open her eyes. She gently raised the corner of her mouth. "Who are you? Do you know me?"
"I am Jingyue …" Shangguan Jingyue's body trembled slightly. She said, "Your Highness Yin, I am the Excellency Shangguan Jingyue who is guarding by your side. Can't you recognize my voice? Your eyes … What happened to your eyes? "
"I'm fine. Moreover, I'm not Qin Yin."
Xiyin smiled. "Call me Xiyin. I come from the Western Divine Realm. I am the younger sister of Her Excellency Xi Yan. I am the captain of the Battle Angel Team."
"I …" Shangguan Jingyue still wanted to say something.
However, Fengxi interrupted her. He cupped his fists and said, "General Fengxi pays his respects to Duke Yu and Marquis Cangnan!"
"Excellency Fengxi, you may rise."
Fengxi straightened his body. His eyes were like torches. "Marquis Cangnan, why did you cut off communications with the Eastern Capital?"
