A Claim of Sovereignty over Mount Kunlun

"I'm starting to look forward to the day when ' the Ends of the Earth Within Reach ' is finally completed."

Gently swishing her tail, Xiluo made no attempt to hide her anticipation and eagerness.

"Do you think that when Xingtian City and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range are completely connected, it will become an exclave of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range?" Li Boyang was speechless as he looked at Xiluo, whose eyes practically screamed "Troublemaker."

However, it cannot be denied that what Xiluo said is indeed something that is very likely to happen in the future.

Although Xingtian City belongs to the Great Xia, it is an independent small kingdom within the Great Xia territory, specifically designed to guard against disasters from Kunlun.

However, ever since Li Boyang refined Guixu into the Eight Trigrams Furnace, the mission of Xingtian City has disappeared.

Furthermore, with the return of Chisongzi and Wu Luo with Fu Kui, the Great Xia Dynasty is destined to undergo a far-reaching transformation.

Under these circumstances, whether intentionally or unintentionally, the Great Xia would ignore Xingtian City's past achievements and focus all its energy on its major city-states and kingdoms.

In fact, this is a major reason why the Hundred Lands Mountain Range extended a helping hand to Xingtian City plague.

Without the threat from Kunlun, what value does Xingtian City still hold?

In a sense, it's hard to say that Wu Zhen's ability to so easily persuade the contemporary Xingtian, Chi Fou's ability to so easily control the water veins near Xingtian City, are unrelated to these reasons.

Don't look at me like that. Aren't I telling the truth?

She glared back defiantly, Xiluo said confidently.

Wasn't the reason Nü E was so eager to study the Divine Ability of "the Ends of the Earth Within Reach are within reach" precisely because of this idea?

On Earth in its previous existence, enclaves were often the territories that a country was least willing to manage.

Because the time, effort, and resources required to manage an enclave are often disproportionate.

Most importantly, because a third party is involved between the two places, this third party can easily control both places, from major issues like war and territorial ownership to minor issues like permits for the transport of goods.

Therefore, any normal country would seriously consider the management costs and ultimate benefits of an enclave.

However, this problem was not a problem at all in this mythological age.

The simple phrase "The Ends of the Earth Within Reach, yet within reach" can effectively solve the problem of communication and exchange between two places.

If Nü E could truly extend [Mystic Garden] to Xingtian City, and even to Mount Kunlun.

So, aside from being geographically blocked by the Great Xia, the Hundred Mountains have no real impact on the Hundred Lands Mountain Range and Xingtian City. On the contrary, given the strength shown by the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, it should be the Great Xia that truly feels threatened.

If the two sides start a war in the future, Great Xia will inevitably be attacked from both sides.

Li Boyang had some doubts; perhaps this was also a way for the contemporary Xingtian to demonstrate his value to the Great Xia.

Since you believe I have no value anymore, wouldn't it be the same if I created new strategic value?

This is a gamble in a different sense.

The contemporary Xingtian is betting that the Great Xia will once again recognize the strategic importance of Xingtian City.

Nü E was betting that she could truly annex Xingtian City before the Great Xia resolved its internal conflicts.

"Nü E's desire to annex Xingtian City is not as simple as it seems."

"That area is, after all, part of the Mount Kunlun, the former center of the earth."

Without engaging in any more pointless arguments with Xiluo, Li Boyang immediately headed towards the cable car.

Meanwhile, at the junction of the Mount Kunlun and the Mount Changyang.

Accompanied by an unusual distortion of the Earth Veins, two figures appeared out of thin air.

One of them was Nü E dressed in a plain-colored witch's robe, and the other was a three-headed divine bird.

"Li Zhu, have we entered the Mount Kunlun yet?"

Gently turning her head, Nü E looked at the three-headed divine bird, Li Zhu, and asked.

As a Kunlun deity who escaped Kunlun during the "Cataclysm of Guixu" and eventually settled in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

Li Zhu's talent and strength are beyond doubt.

Especially after switching to the Method of the Celestial Person, Li Zhu's three heads each had their own future.

Once the Law Technique wind, fire, and thunder are unleashed, even true Heavenly Deity must avoid their sharp edge.

Not to mention, three years ago, Li Zhu obtained the [Jade Pool Invitation] that countless people dreamed of, and went to Jade Pool to participate in the Longevity Conference.

At that Longevity Conference, Li Zhu listened to the teachings of the King Father of the East and cultivated Three-Headed Dharma Body.

This Three-Headed Dharma Body is derived from the Divine Ability of Three Heads and Six Arms, which poses almost no barrier to entry for Li Zhu.

"Yes, this is where the Mount Kunlun begin."

The three heads were looking in three different directions, Li Zhu's demeanor appeared both vigilant and professional.

In fact, this vigilant and professional demeanor is thanks to Li Zhu's current status in the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

She is the most outstanding practical instructor at Hundred Lands University.

Every year, countless students graduate after passing her test.

In those trials, besides testing their knowledge and combat skills, Li Zhu's most important task was to keep an eye on those arrogant brats.

Thanks to this, it was widely expected that Li Zhu would serve as Nü E's bodyguard on this trip.

"Mount Kunlun, the starting point of the Long Stairway of Divine Ascension, I have long admired its name!"

Gazing deeply into the depths of the Mount Kunlun, Nü E's tone was filled with emotion.

The next moment, Nü E took the lead and walked deeper into the Mount Kunlun.

This is because this is already the limit of the Earth Veins that Nü E can perceive.

Her next task is to explore the Earth Veins and water veins of the entire Mount Kunlun.

If possible, finding the remains of the legendary [Long Stairway of Divine Ascension] would also be one of her missions on this trip.

"Don't walk so fast, wait for me!"

Seeing this, Li Zhu didn't care about anything else and quickly followed.

Although Guixu was refined into the Eight Trigrams Furnace by the Dao Ancestor, many deities still exist in Mount Kunlun.

No one knows how many of these gods were born from Ancient God, or how many inherited ancient power.

Li Zhu herself is a perfect example; she doesn't believe her situation is an isolated case.

"It's not that I walk fast, it's that you walk too slowly."

Without turning her head, Nü E chuckled softly, showing a rare moment of ease and contentment.

There's no need to maintain outward dignity, nor to care about any manners...

Nü E felt as if she hadn't been this carefree in a long time.

She's not some witch from Gao Village Town, nor the heir to the Nüman; she's simply being herself.

"I just can't do anything with you..."

Watching Nü E's receding figure, Li Zhu, after a brief moment of astonishment, smiled wryly and chased after her.
