Ambitions for an Immortal Court

The Nine Phoenix Emperor's words undoubtedly align with the interests of the other Six Great Clans.

The Yang Household possesses Sixth-Tier Upper-Grade Spirit Vein. Without at least two Void Refinement Legions, taking over Purple Moon Mountain in a short period of time is simply wishful thinking.

However, the Void Refinement Legion is the foundation of each race, and there are only eighteen Void Refinement Legions in the entire Nine Phoenix Realm.

There are four branches of the Demon Race, three branches of the Human Race and the Nine-Phoenix Clan, and two branches each of the Divine Wind Clan, the Fire-Bathing Tribe, the Fire Spirit Tribe, and the Giant Spirit Tribe.

Of course, although the Nine-Phoenix Clan's Void Refinement Legion is not the largest in number, its combat strength is definitely number one.

The Imperial City Guard Army could easily take on two or even three opponents at once.

The Fire Plume Army Corps and the Radiant Phoenix Army Corps are also not to be underestimated; they are at least somewhat stronger than the Divine Wind Army Corps.

However, each of the seven races' Void Refinement Legions will leave at least one legion to defend their own Core Area.

In addition, to deal with the threat posed by the Seven Heavenly Steles of the Qiongqi Realm, two to three Void Refinement Legions should also be reserved.

In this way, at most seven Void Refinement Legions could be drawn out and deployed to the Lu Wu Realm for combat, and that's the most ideal scenario.

Now that the Divine Wind Army Corps has been destroyed, it will be impossible for them to rebuild in less than one or two hundred years.

The Nine Phoenix Realm can now deploy one less Void Refinement Force member.

On the other hand, the Lu Wu Realm now has the addition of the Purple Moon Yang Household.

Although the Yang Household can only rely on Purple Moon Mountain for defense, the Purple Moon Purple Moon Immortals Couple should not be underestimated. The power of their Combined Divine Ability attack has been witnessed by the Nine Phoenix Emperor and other high-ranking members. It is absolutely comparable to the full-force attack of a cultivator in the Early Void Refinement, Sage Manifestation Great Perfection Realm cannot withstand it.

In other words, without sending out the Void Refinement Legion, they simply cannot keep an eye on the Yang Household and the Purple Moon Immortals.

If the Purple Moon Immortals were to free up their resources and launch a reckless attack on the Sage Manifestation cultivators of the Nine Phoenix Realm, it would inevitably cause massive casualties.

Therefore, only by sending the Void Refinement Legion to garrison outside Purple Moon Mountain will the Purple Moon Immortals hesitate to act rashly and obediently stay on Purple Moon Mountain.

However, this would result in a situation where one gains at the expense of the other.

Our side lost one of the Divine Wind Army Corps, while the enemy gained the Purple Moon Yang Household.

In addition, the main battlefield in the Eastern Sea, the True Martial Sacred Land in the Southern Sea, the Seven Stars Sacred Land in the Northern River Region Myriad Nations Region, the Black Dragon Empire in the Lanke Temple in the Western Continent, and the White Sky Sect in the Frostthunder Region all require the Void Refinement Legion to keep an eye on them, which has completely reached the limit of the Nine Phoenix Realm.

Therefore, the idea of the King of the Divine Wind Clan to destroy the Yang Household was nothing but wishful thinking and had no feasibility whatsoever.

As expected, with the King of the Divine Wind Clan's face full of resentment and anger, the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance approved the Nine Phoenix Emperor's proposal to transfer a Void Refinement Legion from the Qiongqi Realm to be stationed outside Purple Moon Mountain.

As for the threat posed by the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles, the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance decided after discussion to send fifty more Sage Manifestation to make up for the lack of combat power.

Compared to the Lu Wu Realm, the major forces of the Qiongqi Realm are no longer a threat.

The maximum coverage area of each of the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles is only equivalent to a little over half a prefecture.

Even if you add up all seven pieces, it's only equivalent to half the Lu Wu Realm.

Although the area covered by the Heavenly Stele is exceptionally rich in Spiritual Qi, without a large population to support it, any attempt to develop it is nothing but wishful thinking.

Once the Lu Wu Realm is destroyed, the Nine Phoenix Realm Alliance can then free up its resources to set up seven sky-covering formations, severing all communication between heaven and earth.

At that time, without the support of the power of heaven and earth, the Seven Martial Dao Heavenly Steles will be breached, and the title of "unbreakable barrier" will cease to exist!

On Purple Moon Mountain, Lu Wu Army sat cross-legged on a futon, letting Yang Tianyou place his hand on his head. A cool, refreshing aura flowed into his body, like a gentle breeze and drizzle sweeping over every corner of his body.

After a long while, Yang Tianyou withdrew his hand, smiled calmly, and said, "Alright!"

"Is that all?" Commander Lu Wu Army stood up and carefully sensed his physical condition, but found nothing unusual, as if Yang Tianyou had simply touched his forehead.

"As I've already said, this won't harm Fellow Li Daoist Friends in any way!" Yang Tianyou said irritably.

Lu Wu Army chuckled but didn't reply.

Yang Tianyou flipped his right hand and took out two Storage Rings.

"The Storage Ring on the left contains the reward we promised Fellow Daoist Friends! The Storage Ring on the right is a small token of our Yang Household's appreciation to the Lu Wu Army."

Although the Lu Wu Army Corps was ordered by the Alliance to help the Yang Household overcome their difficulties, they still had to show the appropriate respect.

"Haha, I've long heard that the Purple Moon Yang Household is wealthy and powerful, so I won't stand on ceremony!" Commander Lu Wu Army laughed heartily, took the Storage Ring, and scanned it with his Divine Sense, revealing a large number of precious resources.

The Storage Ring on the left needs no introduction, but the Storage Ring on the right contains all sorts of things: Law Treasure, Puppets, Spirit Stones, Spirit Materials... with a total value of no less than 500,000 Upper-Grade Spirit Stones, definitely a windfall.

"This... I thank Fellow Daoist Taibai on behalf of my brothers!" Commander Lu Wu said solemnly.

He had thought the Yang Household would only give him 30,000 to 50,000 Upper-Grade Spirit Stones as a token gesture, but he hadn't expected there to be so many resources in his Storage Ring, enough to double or triple the compensation for the fallen soldiers.

Yang Tianyou said, "Hehe, Fellow Li Daoist Friends, you are too kind. This time, my Yang Household was able to escape unscathed thanks to the desperate fighting of the Lu Wu Army Corps."

It's just a few Spirit Items, nothing to mention.

If the Lu Wu Army Corps ever lacks any resources in the future, they can simply send a message to Purple Moon Mountain. My Yang Household will help if we can, and we will never refuse!

Although the Lu Wu Army Corps obeys the orders of the Alliance Headquarters, it also wields considerable influence. If it can gain the support of the former, the Yang Household's influence within the Alliance will be even greater.

At the level of the Yang Household, prestige and influence become increasingly important.

When all forces acknowledge that the Yang Household is the number one power in the Lu Wu Realm, they will be able to leverage this immense influence to gradually integrate the power of the realm and ultimately seek the Mandate of Heaven's Mandate Race, and even the Heavenly Heart Authority.

Whether it's Lineage or a sect, once it reaches a certain level of development, it will inevitably need to embrace diverse influences.

The Yang Household's next step is to establish the "Heaven's Mandate Empire," and further still, they may even seek the position of the Immortal Court.

This was the ambition that arose in Yang Tianyou after he learned some information about the Upper Realm from the Martial Ancestor.

The path to the Immortal Court is not easy; the first step is to possess one's own world.

Only by gaining the recognition of a realm's Heavenly Dao can one attain Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position and possess "Deities".

Compared to the Heavenly Immortal Dao, the Deity Immortal Dao is inferior in combat strength. However, when it comes to regulating the Yang Five Elements of a realm, the cycle of the four seasons, and wielding various powers, the immortals are far superior to the Heavenly Immortal Dao cultivators, making them extremely useful for developing their power.

Although Yang Tianyou possesses the Jade Register Heavenly Book, a supreme treasure capable of condensing the Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position, this matter must never be exposed.

The more he cultivated, the more he understood the preciousness of the Jade Register Heavenly Book. If this treasure were to be revealed, it would likely attract a multitude of immortals to descend to the mortal realm and fight over it.

At that time, they will have no way to survive, whether they go to heaven or hell.

The Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position can be revealed, but this is contingent on the Yang Household having sufficient confidence to obtain the Heavenly Heart Authority and thus conceal it.

To outsiders, it was believed that the Yang Household's Heavenly Mandate Fruit Position was bestowed by Heavenly Dao.
