[After learning that the Wujiang Clan had gone to war with the other tribes, you stopped cultivating and immediately went to gather information.]
[You soon learned the whole story.]
[Back when Immortal Witchriver was still in the Immortal Mansion, he had left many secret caches there to nurture the younger generations of the demon race. Among them were opportunities such as cultivation methods and divine abilities, immortal and fiend secret arts, and divine weapons and treasures.]
[But to the major tribes, the most precious things among them were the Dao-Soldier Armor sets.]
[Dao-Soldier Armor was the true foundation of every tribe. Its inscribed runes could fuse the strength of all the Dao-Soldiers into one, allowing them to challenge opponents above their own level.]
[For example, although the Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Immortal Wusui had sent to protect you were all Wanxiang Diremonster Kings, their Dao-Soldier Armor allowed them to contend with Primal Fiend Kings.]
[The Wujiang Clan had been able to hold its own against Immortal Duohe despite its gradual decline precisely because of the Dao-Soldiers' support.]
[As descendants of Immortal Witchriver, your tribe was equipped with the more formidable Yaksha Dao-Soldiers, whereas the other demon tribes all used the standard Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers.]
[Thus, although Immortal Duohe's cultivation far surpassed Immortal Wusui's, he was instead at a disadvantage against the Dao-Soldiers' support.]
[The reason Immortal Duohe had brazenly gone to war with the Wujiang Clan this time was also a set of Dao-Soldier Armor.]
[Just a month ago, a Wanxiang Diremonster King of the Wujiang Clan had stumbled upon an immortal-level set of Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor while exploring a secret cache.]
[As soon as the news got out, it attracted the covetous attention of a tribal alliance led by the Duohe Tribe. The two sides drew swords and bent bows, and in the end, a great battle was ready to erupt at the slightest touch.]
[Although the war was exceptionally brutal, neither the Wujiang Clan nor the tribal alliance was willing to give ground, because the immortal-level Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor was simply too precious.]
[For the Wujiang Clan, obtaining another immortal-level set of Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor meant raising the Yaksha Dao-Soldiers' strength to a new level. Once they had suppressed Immortal Duohe, the Wujiang Clan would be able to rule the Wujiang Immortal Mansion again.]
[For the tribal alliance led by the Duohe Tribe, obtaining the immortal-level Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor meant a chance to gain control of the Yaksha Dao-Soldiers, a powerful weapon that belonged exclusively to the Wujiang Clan. This was a tremendous temptation to them, having been suppressed by the Yaksha Dao-Soldiers for years.]
[Although the tribe had not asked you to go to the battlefield, you began to worry after hearing reports that the situation at the front was growing increasingly dire.]
[In particular, after hearing that the Duohe Tribe had persuaded several neutral Primal tribes to join the war, you could no longer sit still.]
[You immediately refined the Essence Liquid issued by the tribe that you had accumulated over the years. At sixty-six, your Qi Refining cultivation broke through to Wanxiang and rose all the way to Late Wanxiang in one go.]
[After breaking through to Wanxiang, you completed your transformation and became a graceful, debonair young master.]
[You then went to the ancestral grounds' treasury and, as was customary, claimed a Wanxiang-level set of Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor.]
[Once everything was ready, you immediately led the squad of Yaksha Dao-Soldiers under your command out of the ancestral grounds.]
[To reverse your tribe's decline on the battlefield, you chose: one, head to the battlefield and reinforce the front. Two, harass the enemy's rear.]
"Two." Zhou Qing thought it over and made his choice.
With his current strength in the simulation, he was probably not yet capable of changing the situation on the battlefield.
That being the case, he might as well harass the enemy's rear and ease the pressure on the Wujiang Clan at the front.
[You had a clear understanding of your own strength, so you decided to harass the enemy's rear to change the situation on the battlefield.]
[First in your path were the Duohe Tribe's vassal tribes. Because they had sent their main fighting forces to the front, only a few Wanxiang Diremonster Kings remained to guard them.]
[You therefore led your Yaksha Dao-Soldiers into their midst while their guard was down.]
[With the Yaksha Dao-Soldiers under your command, your base strength reached the Primal level. Coupled with your extraordinary cultivation, even an ordinary Primal Fiend King could not withstand a single exchange with you.]
[Thus, in a very short time, you purged several of the Duohe Tribe's vassal tribes and seized vast quantities of heavenly materials and earthly treasures.]
[Over the following months, you repeated these actions, throwing the Duohe Tribe's rear into such chaos that chickens flew and dogs scattered, while also amassing a great fortune.]
[Some neutral tribes that had only recently joined the fighting at the front heard what was happening in the rear. Frightened, they immediately withdrew to defend their home bases, greatly reducing the pressure on the Wujiang Clan in the war.]
[Among the many supplies you had seized, you found a Primal-level set of Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers Armor.]
[An idea immediately occurred to you.]
[You refined the Essence Liquid you had plundered and immediately broke through to the Primal realm.]
[Then, at your command, your Yaksha Dao-Soldiers reluctantly exchanged their Yaksha Dao-Soldiers Armor for Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers Armor.]
[You then changed into the Primal-level Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers Armor as well and began familiarizing yourself with the Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers, whom you had never commanded before.]
[With you, a Primal Fiend King, at their core and commanding hundreds upon thousands of Zifu greater demons and Wanxiang Diremonster Kings, the Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers' base strength had barely reached the immortal level.]
[Although your combat strength still fell well short of an immortal's, it was enough to carry out a plan you had originally considered highly risky.]
[The next day, you acted as swiftly as thunder and struck straight at the heart of the tribal alliance-the Duohe Tribe's home base.]
[Like the Wujiang Clan, the Duohe Tribe also had a Primal Fiend King staying behind to guard it, but his cultivation was far inferior to yours.]
[Faced with your surprise attack, the Duohe Tribe crumbled at the first blow, and the Primal Fiend King guarding it died on the spot.]
[Then, like a swarm of locusts passing through, you scraped three feet off the Duohe Tribe's land, plundering a vast quantity of resources.]
[With such a major incident in the rear, Immortal Duohe was truly enraged, so he sent his disciple, Demon King Zhenbao, back to provide support.]
[As Immortal Duohe's most valued senior disciple, Demon King Zhenbao's strength stood out even among Primal Fiend Kings.]
[Thus, when the two of you fought, it was truly a clash of dragon and tiger.]
[And because both of you commanded Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers, a spectacular sight appeared in the Wujiang Immortal Mansion: in the boundless desert, two giant waves that blotted out the sky and sun crashed against each other, creating a phenomenon that seemed to destroy heaven and earth.]
[Although your battle with Demon King Zhenbao reached a stalemate, during that time you became adept at commanding the Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers.]
[Several days later, you drew inspiration from the way the Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers gathered into a giant wave. A sudden revelation struck, and you completely mastered the Dao of Rainwater.]
[With your understanding greatly advanced, you then easily defeated the Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers under Demon King Zhenbao's command. The vast force of Giant Wave Dao-Soldiers was promptly wiped out, and only Zhenbao escaped death.]
[News of Zhenbao's crushing defeat in the rear soon reached the front, dealing a severe blow to the morale of the tribal alliance led by the Duohe Tribe.]
[In the end, Immortal Duohe chose to cut his losses and make peace with the Wujiang Clan. Thus, the war ended in a resounding victory for the Wujiang Clan.]
[The entire Wujiang Clan rejoiced at this achievement, especially Immortal Wusui. Although he had believed you to be an unparalleled genius, he had thought you still needed time to grow. Yet your actions had proved that you were not an ordinary genius in the worldly sense.]
[After the war ended, you returned to the ancestral grounds to digest your insights. Although you had broken through bottleneck after bottleneck during the war and even mastered a complete Dao, you felt that you had not yet exhausted your own foundation.]
