161: The Brave Shangguan Yaoyao

Liangyuan Province, Luo Hui City.

The main base that the Sima Family is currently building.

“Brother Sima, Your Majesty is very concerned about your Sima Family’s emergence!”

“Knowing that your Sima Family originated from leading troops ten thousand years ago, Your Majesty directly appointed Sima Yi as the Grand Marshal of Reincarnation, entrusting the million-strong Reincarnation Army to your command!”

“That Reincarnation Army accounts for one-third of the Human Race’s combat power!”

“You must grasp this trust well!”

Sima Lie respectfully accepted the imperial decree, an uncontrollable joy appearing on his face.

Although ten thousand years ago, the Sima Family once commanded all the military forces of the Nine Provinces at that time, directly confronting the Yao Race on the Reincarnation Battlefield and achieving a great victory!

But at that time, what if they had an army of ten million Cultivators?

Imperial power controlled the world; it could give you as much Luck as it wanted!

As long as imperial power bound you, you wouldn't even have the right to absorb Spiritual Qi from the Nine Provinces World!

It’s different now.

The Sima Family has already prepared the Nine Ring Aura Bureau; as long as they can utilize the Luck of the Nine Provinces, they can activate the nine emperor coffins, accumulate the Sima Family’s foundation, and Breakthrough to the status of a Supreme Family!

By then, they would no longer have to depend on the Royal Family’s whims!

Hearing that the Royal Family was giving the Sima Family one-third of the military force, Sima Lie was already extremely excited.

They weren't given an idle position; instead, it was real power right from the start!

That meant the authority to mobilize Luck granted by the Royal Family would definitely not be too low!

This way, the progress toward becoming a Supreme Family would also be faster!

Seeing Sima Lie put away the imperial decree, Eunuch Rong said, “Your Majesty wanted the Sima Family to build their main base in the Imperial Capital, where the Spiritual Qi is abundant and it’s located at the center of power. The safety aspect is much better there!”

Sima Lie shook his head and explained with a smile, “Thank you for Your Majesty’s kindness, but the Sima Family originated in Liangyuan Province, and our main base has always been here for ten thousand years. For this emergence, we’ll still choose this familiar place!”

In his heart, Sima Lie rolled his eyes and thought, “Once in the Imperial Capital, how could the Sima Family’s actions escape the Dragon Family’s eyes? How could they implement the great plan of Breakthrough to Supreme?”

“The Dragon Family would probably be eager for the Sima Family to go there, so they could be controlled!”

Suddenly, he felt a tremor in his embrace.

The nine emperor coffins were becoming restless again!

This shouldn’t be happening!

This time, it’s only been half a day!

Usually, wasn’t it always more than a day?

Could it be that the imperial decree stimulated those coffins?

They must hold on!

At this moment, nothing must go wrong!

If Luo Tang were here, why would he worry about these things!

Sima Lie suppressed the tremor in his heart and said, “Head Eunuch Rong, the Sima Family’s construction is not yet complete, so I’m afraid we cannot host you. Next time, after things here are settled, I will definitely host you properly!”

Saying that, Sima Lie took out the gifts he had prepared earlier and slipped them to Eunuch Rong.

The old eunuch’s face immediately bloomed into a smile. After discreetly putting the gifts into his embrace, he said, “Brother Sima, you are too kind!”

“I have one last matter here, and I would like to ask you to fulfill it for me!”

Sima Lie felt the pocket dimension bag in his embrace becoming more and more restless. He wanted to quickly send this plague god away, so he directly said, “Please, Head Eunuch Rong, speak directly. Anything I can do, I will not hesitate!”

Eunuch Rong nodded and said, “I heard that the foundation Formation of a Supreme Family consists of ninety-nine Heavenly Star Main Formations, three hundred and sixty Earth Fiend Auxiliary Formations, and countless Heaven And Earth Treasures!”

“It must be extremely magnificent. I would like to feast my eyes, I wonder…”

Sima Lie’s eyes twitched, and he scornfully thought, “Is Dragon Zhiyang still not giving up?”

“Does he still want to confirm if the Sima Family’s foundation has any issues?”

“Since the Sima Family dares to build it openly, they have already made thorough preparations!”

Sima Lie naturally wouldn’t believe that Eunuch Rong wanted to see the foundation Formation; he would only believe that Dragon Zhiyang wanted to confirm it again.

In fact, what he thought was correct.

This was indeed Dragon Zhiyang’s intention!

But it was only to warn the Sima Family that imperial power would always be watching them, so they shouldn’t engage in any small tricks, otherwise, it would be difficult for everyone!

This time, it was merely symbolic, sending a Soul Transformation Stage Spell Cultivator.

Everyone came to the center of the construction site.

The foundation, spanning a hundred li, was unfathomably deep!

Within the foundation, Heaven And Earth Treasures were visible everywhere, arranged orderly, forming intricate Formations!

At this moment, among Eunuch Rong’s entourage, the Spell Cultivator’s eyes were filled with deep disappointment, which was inconsistent with his outward appearance.

“This Sima Family is truly a wealthy dog!”

“The Shangguan Family is already a Supreme Formation Family, and the foundation of their hidden main base is only slightly better than this…”

“Is this Sima Family really planning to fully emerge?”

“The more this is the case, the more it proves there are more good things!”

“But why is your Sima Family so cowardly? Why set up so many secret scouts!”

“With this inescapable net, it seems those treasures are not destined for me!”

That’s right, it was Shangguan Yaoyao!

That accompanying Spell Cultivator had already been replaced by Shangguan Yaoyao!

Shangguan Yaoyao possessed the Immortal Rank illusionary Divine Ability ‘Substitute Plum for Peach,’ as well as the Shangguan Family’s top disguise Divine Ability. Coupled with her special envoy status, she managed to evade the Sima Family’s detection!

But seeing the Sima Family so heavily guarded, her heart had completely chilled.

Originally, she had first gone to Cloud Marsh, deliberately releasing Sima Luotang’s aura, hoping to draw away some of the guards here.

It seems only a handful of people were drawn away!

Putting away her disappointment, to avoid being exposed, Shangguan Yaoyao walked to the foundation and began to inspect it in a proper manner.

Perfect!

This foundation Formation and Secret Realm complement each other too perfectly!

Even if the Shangguan Family came, it would be pretty much the same!

Could it be that during this period, the Sima Family, relying solely on their own Luck from seclusion, managed to improve their Formation mastery so much?

Shangguan Yaoyao, relying on the knowledge base given to her by the Shangguan Family, instantly discovered the astonishing aspects of this foundation.

However, it shouldn’t be!

As a Supreme Family, a mundane Family is simply not worth expending so much!

Jiang Lin often said that beneath the most perfect things, the greatest secrets are hidden!

The Sima Family definitely hid some earth-shattering secret!

Speaking of which, is it related to those nine coffins?

Shangguan Yaoyao thought of Sima Luotang’s lifelong pursuit: tomb raiding and guarding those nine coffins!

Last time she went to the Imperial Capital to deliver the Boundless Pure Land, it was just an incidental matter…

The key was to extract the Imperial Qi from Long Zhan, all for the purpose of better binding those nine coffins and perfectly placing them into this foundation!

According to her memory, after placing the coffins, the foundation would definitely be sealed immediately!

Since it hasn’t been sealed yet, it means they haven’t had time to place them!

If the Sima Family’s extremely hidden secret were exposed, it would definitely cause a stir!

Jiang Lin said that whenever things get chaotic, there’s an opportunity to fish in troubled waters!

Speaking of which, I’m not completely without a chance!

The bold get to eat, the timid starve!

Anyway, I have the Nine-tailed Space and Sima Luotang as a hostage, so I’m not afraid of messing up!

She frowned and said meaningfully:

“The Sima Family has been preparing for today for quite a while!”
