155: The Realm of the Spirits, the Valley of Burial Gods!
"Void Spirit Realm..."
"Before the Xuanling Imperial Dynasty, the Heaven and Earth Merchant Guild seemed to be responsible for the connection with the Void Spirit Realm. After the great formation sealing Xuanling disappeared, they should quickly find a way to enter again."
Xia Xuan's eyes narrowed slightly, his thoughts racing.
Recalling the past, the first time he understood the Void Spirit Realm was when he clashed with Shangguan Yue in the Nineteen Domains.
Now, through the Spirit Emperor's memories, he understood even more.
The Void Spirit Realm is vast and boundless, covering every corner of the Sea of the Universe.
This is a free platform for the myriad races of the Sea of the Universe to trade, communicate, and contend.
As long as one masters the correct method, one can send their spirit body into the Void Spirit Realm.
In Xia Xuan's understanding, this was like a virtual Universe or a metaverse.
The gods of the Void Spirit Realm not only possess the great power to open Void Realm passages anywhere in the Sea of the Universe, but they can also specifically create Void Realm battlefields, allowing Imperial Dynasties to contend for a certain territory at a very small cost.
The Void Spirit Realm has existed since countless eons ago, and no one knows how it first formed.
However, one thing is certain: it is not absolutely safe in the Void Spirit Realm.
Over the years, powerful beings have already developed methods to obliterate Divine Souls through spirit bodies.
Therefore, Imperial Dynasties and Imperial Dynasties that are generally weak and have no backing rarely send people to the Void Spirit Realm; some extremists even directly cut off contact with it.
"Once the rebellion of the feudal lords is pacified and the situation is stable, Great Xia can also begin preparing to establish a foothold in the Void Spirit Realm."
If Xia Xuan wanted to enter the Void Spirit Realm, he could do so now. The exchange mall had many mediums, better than soul stones, for constructing passages.
"Your Majesty, regarding the Great Qian's scheme, should we send people to meet them, or remind the Imperial Princess to take a detour and avoid Burial God Canyon?" Heavenly Dark Star asked.
"An unprovoked detour would only increase the risk of Tianji Star being exposed."
Xia Xuan said, "Since they dared to infiltrate the Huangji Domain to intercept, we naturally cannot miss such a good opportunity."
Heavenly Dark Star nodded and added, "Tianji Star reminds Your Majesty not to underestimate the enemy this time. Burial God Canyon suppresses Divine Power, and Great Qian is very well prepared."
"I will personally arrange the personnel. You may withdraw."
Xia Xuan's gaze fell on a certain spot in the exchange mall, and he responded with a smile.
"Yes." Heavenly Dark Star respectfully withdrew... Since the Feast of Kings and the Bloody Case of Yujing, the three Holy Lands of No-Regret Cliff, Ice Field Palace, and Nine Nether Palace announced an alliance, accumulating countless resources at their respective borders, sealing off a domain.
And strong cultivators continuously left to support the feudal states that ignited the rebellion.
In the Huangji Domain and the four states of Heaven, Earth, Xuan, and Huang under Great Xia, chaos was frequent and wars broke out everywhere.
Very few feudal states truly dared to provoke Great Xia. Most of them used the pretext of revenge to expand their territories, strengthen their national power, or accumulate more bargaining chips, hoping to sell themselves to Great Qian at a good price.
Of course, the main reason they dared to do this was that the Spirit Emperor had never deliberately targeted any particular feudal state.
The heavenly soldiers and generals of Great Xia adopted a strategy of advancing in all directions from Yujing City as their base.
Those who surrendered had their titles of feudal lords stripped and were incorporated into the army. Stubborn resistors had their nine clans implicated. Defeated armies were transformed into nether iron armor.
Huangji Domain, outside the border wall.
A White Dragon Army of eight thousand people escorted a luxurious carriage pulled by a Jade Qilin and arrived there.
"Your Highness, ahead is Burial God Canyon."
The White Dragon Army commander came to the side of the carriage and asked for instructions, "The army has seen nothing but chaos along the way, indicating that Great Xia has not yet recovered its territory. Your Highness, now that the world barrier has reappeared, should we notify the people of Great Xia to come and meet us to prevent an ambush?"
Bai Kou looked at the White Jade Heavenly Dragon dozing beside her and smiled, "No matter what, the Huangji Domain is the Spirit Emperor's territory. We came for the appointment, and if we can't even reach Yujing City, what face would Great Xia have? I guess someone is already waiting for us in Burial God Canyon."
"Your Highness is right."
The White Dragon Army regrouped slightly and stepped into the world barrier, the Burial God Canyon area.
The world's Laws suppressed them, restricting everyone's Divine Power and greatly lowering their flight altitude.
"Great General, they are here."
In a cloud glowing with faint golden light, countless tall figures clad in golden armor appeared faintly.
"Everyone, how are your preparations?"
Shang Baxian looked at the three Holy Land powerhouses beside him.
"Haha, in this Burial God Canyon, Divine Power is sealed. Even if a few Divine Lords come, I dare to tear them apart!"
Mammoth Elder of Ice Field Palace rubbed his fists, his cultivation of a special beast-transformation profound art meant his Divine Power was a weakness, but his Physical Body was tempered to be comparable to an ancient Vicious Beast, giving off immense pressure.
"The Dragon Palace lost one in Yujing. This time, I brought the other three Dragon Palaces. I don't believe they can't suppress that White Jade Heavenly Dragon."
The Dragon Lady of No-Regret Cliff, dressed in white as snow, was like a Fairy under the moon, beautiful and aloof.
"This one is not suitable for fighting in this area. Everything is up to you. After Ninth Princess is captured, this one will be responsible for sealing her Divine Power." The person from Nine Nether Palace crossed his arms.
"Good."
Shang Baxian nodded slightly, then turned to the dozen or so uneasy, newly appointed feudal lords behind him and said in a deep voice, "Since you wish to pledge allegiance to Great Qian, this time you need to show sincerity.
No one here can use Divine Power or transmit messages. Send your elites to wear down the White Dragon Army. If you do well, you will be our Great Qian's vassal states in the future."
"Thank you, duke protecting the nation, for this opportunity!"
The feudal lords did not hesitate and dispatched their trusted armies.
Those in power often value their lives above all else. In their eyes, as long as they can live better, a million corpses are irrelevant. But if the butcher's knife is at their necks, their desire to survive is stronger than anyone else's.
Their fathers all died at the hands of the Spirit Emperor. Everyone understood the principle of cutting weeds and eliminating roots. Even if the Spirit Emperor was willing to accept them, they would not dare to go. Who could guarantee that they would not be purged in the future?
Forced to this point, they only had one path left: to pledge allegiance to Great Qian.
"Roar—"
A long Dragon roar echoed through the canyon.
"An ambush!"
"Engage!"
The White Dragon Army commander's face changed slightly. Although she had anticipated such a situation, she still preferred that the Great Qian Imperial Dynasty would not act. After all, this would offend two Imperial Dynasties at once, which was by no means a wise move.
Most of the Heavenly Maiden Imperial Dynasty's army consisted of female soldiers, primarily cultivating primal Qi and Divine Power.
Under the Law suppression of Burial God Canyon, their disadvantage was huge, and they were very passive.
"Kill!"
"If the two Imperial Dynasties form an alliance, we will have no way to live!"
The clouds dispersed, and countless armored soldiers pressed down like dark clouds, engulfing the White Dragon Army in a bloody battle.
"Armies of the feudal states?"
The dozen or so waves of armies that surrounded them had different armor styles, and it was clear at a glance that they were not Imperial Dynasty armies.
Before the White Dragon Army commander could breathe a sigh of relief, three phantom Dragon Palaces appeared above the sky.
A massive pressure fell upon the carriage, suppressing the White Jade Heavenly Dragon that was about to take flight.
