After this cycle of scenes, the next scene begins.
With the support of other forces, the Cloud Phoenix Empire and the Wilderness Realm were able to catch their breath and also experienced a significant boost.
But.
This does not solve the fundamental problem.
Strong enemies will only grow stronger; the top powers in other realms have far more resources and time to develop than the current Cloud Phoenix Empire.
In this scenario, an even more powerful force, Aristocratic Clan with a deeper foundation, launches an attack.
Even after becoming stronger, the Cloud Phoenix Empire was still no match for it.
Hong Ying still needs to step in to resolve this.
Chu Yan looked at him strangely, stroking his chin and asking in confusion, "Logically speaking, this place is barren of resources, and even the Spiritual Qi is so weak, so why are so many forces eyeing it?"
Hong Ying was also puzzled by this. Why would anyone go to such lengths and expend so much resources to conquer such a barren land? There might be some gains, but it wouldn't be worth it!
Perhaps... Master knows something about the situation.
This time, Hong Ying once again secretly took action. This time, Hong Ying kept a close eye on the Grand Preceptor's every move, but the Grand Preceptor no longer focused his attention on her and acted naturally.
However, as the situation changed, this time there was no external invasion. Instead, it was the internal strife within the Cloud Phoenix Empire that led to the crisis. A rising force sought to dethrone the Cloud Phoenix Empire from its position as the overlord of the Wilderness Realm.
However... there are still external forces at play.
This time, Hong Ying did not rush to take action, wanting to see if the Cloud Phoenix Empire could overcome the crisis on its own.
It's a pity.
Fate seems to always be fate.
The process can be changed, but to try to change a predetermined fate... seems a bit far-fetched.
Left with no other choice, Hong Ying took action once again.
Time and again, they pulled the Cloud Phoenix Empire back from the brink of death.
During this time, Chu Yan spread his hands and said, "If this continues, it will be a vicious cycle, unless you can help them reach the very top indefinitely, but that's ultimately impossible."
Hong Ying remained silent.
How could she not know?
She helped countless times, and if Hong Ying hadn't intervened even once, the Cloud Phoenix Empire would have inevitably met its demise.
But is predetermined fate unchangeable? Is the cycle of reincarnation ultimately unbreakable?
Hong Ying carries the Imperial Intent, and how could an empress with Imperial Intent easily compromise with the heavens?
If even Hong Ying herself accepted this ending, then a demon was planted in her heart.
This will become an insurmountable wall on the road to becoming Hong Ying Path of the Emperor.
Hong Ying remained silent.
However, Chu Yan could sense the Intent of the Emperor slowly rising from Hong Ying's body!
Chu Yan was not unfamiliar with this Imperial Intent.
However, this was the first time Chu Yan had ever seen someone cultivate the Imperial Intent to such a high level.
This is even comparable to the emperors of some of the old divine dynasties in his region!
But that's normal.
You need to know.
Other dynasties either occupy one side of the realm or control the entire realm.
But what about Hong Ying?
But it encompasses an entire latitude!
"Still not Qi Ingestion... It's just a pity that after we get through this time, the result will be the same every time afterward." Chu Yan shook his head slightly.
really.
If we continue to help as before, the outcome may not change.
But... what if we change our strategy?
This time, the attackers of the Cloud Phoenix Empire in the Wilderness Realm are ancient clans from three other realms.
In fact, its strength and resources far surpass those of the aforementioned forces.
However, this time Hong Ying did not directly annihilate the enemy, but instead flew directly towards the rear of the three ancient clans.
Chu Yan looked puzzled upon seeing this, then followed.
This time, Hong Ying did not directly kill or suppress all the cultivators of these three ancient clans.
Instead, they used the poison made by Mu Wan'er to silently kill a group of powerful figures that the Cloud Phoenix Empire was currently unable to handle. The remaining ones, although they would put enormous pressure on the Cloud Phoenix Empire, would at least not be completely defeated and destroyed.
Seeing this, Chu Yan understood Hong Ying's intention.
This time, Hong Ying changed her approach. Instead of directly annihilating all the hostile forces, she left behind the manpower that the Cloud Phoenix Empire could barely resist at this stage, using them as a whetstone for the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
Life-or-death trials are far more effective for improvement than other forms of comfortable cultivation and resource accumulation.
really.
The Cloud Phoenix Empire faced immense difficulties in its resistance this time, which lasted for a full three years in this space.
The national treasury was almost emptied, and countless people died on both sides, but the survivors received a great promotion.
After dealing with the three major powers, they annexed their resources to replenish the national treasury.
The Cloud Phoenix Empire's improvement this time is enormous!
It's not just about strength, but also the cohesion and loyalty of the empire forged in life-and-death struggles!
After this incident, Hong Ying repeated the same method to resolve problems for the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
The overall improvement of the Cloud Phoenix Empire is getting greater and greater.
They even began to expand outwards.
Chu Yan witnessed this scene. Although the means of change were insignificant, they had already altered the fate of the Cloud Phoenix Empire.
"Amazing." Chu Yan couldn't help but clap his hands, admiringly saying, "No wonder she's the woman I've set my sights on; only someone like her is worthy of me."
Hong Ying glanced at Chu Yan; after spending these days together, she knew that Chu Yan was somewhat shameless.
I think you're not good enough for me.
Chu Yan wasn't angry at all, and chuckled carelessly, "That's because you haven't seen all of me yet."
If we only consider Chu Yan's background, strength, and talent, then that implies that everything is included.
But how could he possibly know anything about Hong Ying's background?
This moment.
The Samsara Illusory Realm seems to be crumbling!
Before Hong Ying, strands of Power of Reincarnation swirled around her, like a divine phoenix soaring and a golden dragon circling her, with a series of colorful and wondrous phenomena appearing!
These streams of Power of Reincarnation converged before Hong Ying, forming steps leading to the clouds.
At the same time, a golden thread formed from the Power of Karma was tied around Hong Ying's waist, seemingly guiding her up the steps.
Hong Ying didn't think too much about it; she must have passed the test.
So he went straight up the steps.
Chu Yan, however, was not connected by the golden thread, but he still wanted to follow.
However, just as he stepped onto the first step, an irresistible repulsive force suddenly erupted, directly blasting Chu Yan's body away!
Seeing this, Hong Ying simply turned her head and glanced at it, without saying anything, and continued walking uphill on her own.
"What a heartless woman." Chu Yan's lips curled slightly.
The Hong Ying disappeared into the clouds.
Chu Yan then looked at the steps and called out loudly, "Why won't you let me go up too, senior?"
As the stairs vanished, a voice emerged. "Your reincarnation does not belong to this world."
