"Senior Lu Li, more than fifty years ago."
"Under Comrade Li Yuanchao's leadership, Great Xia and you jointly formulated the goals of a century-long development plan."
"The target plan is roughly divided into two parts: the first fifty years and the latter fifty years."
"For the first fifty years, we sought stability and concealment, focusing on development; for the next fifty years, we will seek risk and explosive growth, focusing on risking our lives!"
"You've done an excellent job in the first fifty years, according to the plan's objectives."
"Even the nation didn't expect the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture to give us such precious time to develop."
"The current calm in the entire Western Continent is precisely what proves a storm is brewing."
"According to the quantum model, the overall trend of the Western Continent has reached a critical point."
"It could erupt at any moment!"
"You will personally steer the development goals for the next fifty years!"
Li Qingshan speaks clearly and quickly.
The shared goals set by the state and Lu Li were reiterated and discussed once again.
Fifty years is too long, long enough for both the Great Xia and the Dao Academy to undergo tremendous changes.
But fifty years is too short, so short that one doesn't want to break this hard-won, precious developmental time.
Upon hearing what Li Qingshan said...
Lu Li's eyes flickered.
He is already very content with having had these few years of stable development.
With growing confidence, he faced the Prefecture-Breaking War, which he had once been somewhat wary of.
Now, however, a strange sense of anticipation has arisen.
Yes, Lu Li's greatest hope now is that the Prefecture-Breaking War will begin.
The fall of the government was a shocking event.
It was also an extraordinary fortuitous opportunity of luck.
The Western Continent were thrown into chaos, and the political landscape was reshaped.
With all its forces deployed, the Heaven-Pacifying Yao Prefecture was left vulnerable.
He will lead the Dao Academy to seize the Demon Manor's accumulated wealth over ten thousand years.
Seize treasure vaults, secret realms, heritage sites, and resources.
They took advantage of the chaos to absorb scattered high-level cultivators and demon slaves.
In this battle for the state border, they used up all their trump cards.
Expand our strength and seize fertile lands.
To carve out a territory that truly belongs to you.
It has firmly established its unshakeable position as the third pole.
No longer subject to checks and balances, no longer bound by constraints.
Completely achieve the century-long development goals; the Hibernating Dragon Startles the Abyss!
The jade pendant broke.
Lu Li opened his eyes, and the illusory projection in front of him had been collected into a huge Jade Slip.
A small grid of image is separated out, like a surveillance screen.
Inside lies the illusory Blue Star and a host of excited scientists.
" Nether Toad and the Heavenly Wolf received orders for war from the Lord of the Demon Manor decades ago."
"But after that, the entire Western Continent suddenly became quiet, and there was no further movement."
"I wonder when this Prefecture-Breaking War will finally begin."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li stood up.
After decades of rapid development and accumulation.
Now he has the confidence to plan his own course in such a major battle.
The various joint research and development efforts with Great Xia over the years have yielded a series of groundbreaking results.
This gave him real confidence.
The changes among the many disciples at the Dao Academy and the transformations in various halls greatly boosted his confidence.
Even the Prefecture-Breaking War.
Under his direction, the Dao Academy has been launching a surprise exercise every few years.
This will improve the Dao Academy's practical combat capabilities.
Thinking of this, Lu Li looked at the huge Jade Slip in front of him.
A glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"Judging by the time, it's been several years since we last practiced."
"Today is a good day, so..."
" In the Primordial Beginning!"
With a soft shout, the enormous Jade Slip flickered slightly.
A slightly human, ethereal voice echoed throughout the underground palace.
"Master, I'm here. Is there anything I can do to help you?"
"As usual, the 'Awakening of Insects-50' cross- Blessed Land joint combat exercise will commence in half an hour."
"The participants in this exercise... the entire Dao Academy!"
In the years Beyond Heaven Dao Academy,
In order to better prepare for the Prefecture-Breaking War.
They have conducted numerous drills, both large and small.
However, there are only two such exercises at the overall level, since these exercises consume Spirit Stone and massive amounts of resources.
The Dao Academy temple cannot afford to make such a fuss.
This is only the third time, which shows how large-scale this level of exercise is.
The order has been issued.
Three breaths later, an incredibly loud voice rang out simultaneously from Litian Temple.
Like the sound of a bugle, it resonated throughout all the disciples of the academy.
"Attention, all disciples!"
"The third joint exercise of the entire Dao Academy, the Jingzhe-50 cross- Blessed Land combat exercise, will begin in half an hour!"
"All halls, courtyards, and disciples, please prepare yourselves."
"Attention! This is a drill! This is a drill!"
A loud, ethereal voice resounded in everyone's ears.
All the disciples were taken aback at first, their faces showing slight surprise.
Then, in the next second.
Whether one is cultivating or refining pills or weapons.
The assessment was still in progress, and all the disciples who were engaged in magical combat and enlightenment stopped what they were doing.
Everyone quickly and systematically began to follow the procedures outlined in the exercises over the years.
In an instant, the entire Dao Academy was filled with flowing light.
The sword rang out, its sound resonating.
Dozens of disciples, led by the Battle Hall, soared into the sky.
Countless figures appeared in mid-air, each producing a huge banner of a different color from their Storage Bag.
Banners fluttered and stood tall in the air above the Dao Academy.
Litian - Army-Breaking Banner!
The Litian Mountain-Subduing Banner!
Litian · Shadow-Glancing Banner!
The Divine Craft Banner from Litian!
Litian Qihuang Banner!
Litian - Beast-Taming Banner!
The Penal Law Banner Litian!
Litian - Mystic Mystery Banner!
The eight banners represent the eight different paths taken by the disciples of the Beyond Heaven Dao Academy.
The moment the banner appeared.
Countless disciples seemed to have found their pillar of support.
They burst through the air and landed behind the banners.
The Army-Breaking Banner signifies offense and is the vanguard of attacking fortified positions.
Following this banner are disciples with unwavering skills in combat and killing.
The leader was none other than Elder Dong Qing, the Battle Hall!
The Mountain-Subduing Banner is primarily for defense, used to firmly hold the front line.
Following this banner are mostly disciples who practice physical cultivation, shield techniques, and protective talismans.
The leader is Jiang Wuxie of the Inner Court!
Shadow-Glancing Banner: Main activity, reconnaissance, and surprise attack.
Those who follow the banners are mostly quick and agile.
The leader is Elder Si Ming, Ye Chenfeng!
After that, the Divine Craft Banner, the Qihuang Banner, the Beast-Taming Banner, and so on, were each presided over by disciples.
Almost instantly, seventy percent of the inner courtyard disciples had floated to this spot.
Those who haven't arrived are either at a crucial stage of breaking through to a higher realm, or they're not in the courtyard.
Those who are capable of arriving do so without delay.
The benefits of years of exercises are now on full display.
"Uncle Ye!"
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Ye."
"Greetings, Uncle Ye."
"Greetings, Elder Ye "
"..."
As the disciples gathered, Ye Chenfeng appeared.
One by one, the inner court disciples respectfully clasped their hands in a salute to Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng's cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few decades.
With the help of the Hidden Elder Jian, his cultivation had reached the same level as Lu Li's, entering the Great Perfection of Golden Core.
He was only one step away from reaching the Nascent Soul.
Looking at the many young-looking, sharp-looking inner court disciples.
Ye Chenfeng didn't presume and returned the greeting.
Some of these disciples surprised even him and Elder Jian.
Especially the female disciple Dong Qing, and Jiang Wuxie, who had spent some time with him in the outer courtyard.
Within a few decades, both of them broke through to the Golden Core.
Even he was horrified.
" Elder Jian, did you see that? Even Junior Brother Lu's disciples are so talented."
"This Dong Qing, Jiang Wuxie's talent Fate Pattern are probably quite miraculous!"
