Chapter 180 - 8: The Aura of the Human Emperor, Major Empires Take Action_l
Although Heaven and Earth Academy does not engage in power struggles, several strong individuals have emerged from its ranks, making any offensive against it akin to stirring up a hornet’s nest.
The true strength of an academy does not lie in the number of powerful people it has, but in the number of talents it has cultivated.
Talent is a valuable resource for any organization.
Therefore, most powers would avoid offending an academy if possible.
The most important people in an academy are, of course, the instructors.
An instructor doesn’t need to possess an extremely high cultivation level, but they must be able to guide cultivators in their practice.
Instructors are also ranked: Human, Earth, and Heaven.
Just like professions such as Alchemist, having a ranked instructor is very valuable.
The Thousands of Leaves Academy, for example, boasts two Human-ranked instructors.
Moreover, they have been invited by the Heaven and Earth Academy to teach.
A Human-ranked instructor is equivalent to a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm for many powers.
After East Stone Tiger and East Stone Leopard became Human-level instructors, many empires wanted to send their cultivators to Thousands of Leaves Academy.
Countless resources were spent just to secure a position as a student.
Unfortunately, East Stone Tiger and East Stone Leopard were extremely strict in selecting their students.
Not only did they have qualifications requirements, but the character was the most important criteria.
If one’s character was not up to par, then even those with strong qualifications could not join Thousands of Leaves Academy.
This led to every student who graduated from Thousands of Leaves Academy cherishing it deeply.
As long as East Stone Tiger and East Stone Leopard called for help, countless powerful cultivators would lend their assistance.
But who could have imagined that Thousands of Leaves Academy is owned by the Ye Family, by Ye Fan, it belongs to the very Dayu Empire they wanted to target.
The three major powers simultaneously began to act, rapidly increasing their strength.
They all knew that this was only the beginning.
Only when they successfully forge the Fate Golden Dragon will those powers make their move.
Ye Xiaoxiao would never underestimate any power, this time on forging the Fate Golden Dragon, she must succeed without fail.
As time passed, the influence of the Dayu Empire grew stronger.
Essentially the entire Chaos Domains were incorporated within the sphere of influence of the Dayu Empire.
In the meantime, numerous powers tried to undermine it from behind the scenes.
However, they were all resolved by Ye Xiaoxiao.
If these minor figures managed to throw her off, then Ye Xiaoxiao could give up on trying to establish the Dayu Empire.
As the empire’s fate became stronger, Ye Xiaoxiao’s “Human Emperor Sutra” also made substantial progress.
Ye Xiaoxiao had a premonition that the moment she received recognition from the Great Tao, that would be her chance to advance her cultivation level.
Chuantian Empire, Honghai Empire, have you all prepared?
“Empress, these are the information on several major empires!”
A woman dressed in a red robe suddenly appeared before Ye Xiaoxiao and respectfully handed over a jade slip.
This was the Phoenix Girl Guard, created by Ye Xiaoxiao to handle intelligence, and is the most powerful unit in the Dayu Empire.
All of its members were women.
Talent and strength were both indispensable.
Standing before Ye Xiaoxiao was a Phoenix Girl Guard leader whose strength had reached the Mahayana Realm.
Ever since the major empires made their move, Ye Xiaoxiao had begun collecting intel on them.
The Chuantian and Honghai Empires, being the nearest to her, were the primary focus of surveillance.
Apart from the strength of the empires themselves, the forces behind them were all subjects of the Phoenix Girl Guard’s investigation.
“Hongtian Immortal School, Chuanhai Immortal School, both have cultivators in the Heavenly Immortal Realm, they’re not going to be easy to deal with.”
The current Dayu Empire had no means to fight against a cultivator of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
But that’s only for now.
Once Ye Xiaoxiao obtained that certain object, the Heavenly Immortal Realm would be nothing more than a small hurdle.
The Human Emperor Sutra not only granted Ye Xiaoxiao a foundation and cultivation method, but also a unique sense of the resources of the Human Emperor.
Within the Chaos Domains, there was a strand of the ancient Human Emperor’s aura.
This aura of the Human Emperor could help Ye Xiaoxiao craft a very important magical weapon for a Human Emperor, the Human Emperor Seal.
This human Emperor aura’s existence was also one of the main reasons Ye Xiaoxiao chose the Chaos Domains.
Once she had the Human Emperor Seal, the Ten Empires would be nothing more than some chickens barking at it.
Time passed bit by bit, and before they knew it, ten years had gone by.
As the Dayu Empire grew stronger, the Chuantian Empire finally couldn’t restrain itself anymore.
“Empress, today the Ten Absolute Sect incited a rebellion, but it has already been resolved by the Phoenix Girl Guard.”
About every few months, a power within the Chaos Domains would cause some sort of disruption.
Although they were all eventually resolved, it only made the already unstable Dayu Empire even more chaotic.
Stability is very important for an empire.
An unstable empire would have a much bigger challenge in gaining the Great Tao’s recognition.
“It’s about time, order all the Phoenix Girl Guard to return to Dayu City.”
A formation covered the entire Dayu City in an instant. A month later, a strange aura emerged from Dayu City.
The aura of the Human Emperor had arrived.
Ye Xiaoxiao arrived in front of the Human Emperor’s aura as soon as it appeared, and reached out to grab it.
With the Human Emperor Sutra, Ye Xiaoxiao had absolute control over the Human Emperor’s aura.
Unlike other kings, who could only slowly refine the Human Emperor’s aura using the Yun Chao Power.
“All forces be on alert, the decisive battle is approaching!”
Ye Xiaoxiao knew that the emergence of the Human Emperor’s aura couldn’t have gone unnoticed by the other empires.
The Human Emperor’s aura was extremely important to any king, even considered as valuable as a top-grade Immortal Artifact.
No empire would give up on the Human Emperor’s aura.
If they were only causing some undercover disruption before the Human Emperor’s aura appeared, now they might show their hand openly upon detecting it.
The biggest challenge for the Dayu Empire had arrived!
If they managed to endure, the Dayu Empire would firmly establish itself in the East Territory.
If they failed, the best case scenario would be retreating back to the Yanhuang Realm.
A single misstep could lead to a heavy blow, delaying their return to the Changming World indefinitely!
Ye Xiaoxiao didn’t want to leave with a stain on her reputation, so this battle was unavoidable.
With a flash, Ye Xiaoxiao returned to the palace.
The Human Emperor Seal required 99,999 sealing spells and the power of the Human Emperor to be refined.
Ye Xiaoxiao needed to successfully refine the Human Emperor Seal before the major powers made their move, that was the only chance for a turnaround.
With the Human Emperor Seal, taking down the Dayu Empire wouldn’t be as easy for the major powers.
Meanwhile, in the capitals of major forces, one king after another is informed of the emergence of the Human Emperor’s aura, and they instantly sprung into action.
“Chuantian army, set off for the Dayu Empire, the Human Emperor’s aura must belong to our Chuantian Empire.”
The king of the Chuantian Empire was overjoyed; with the Human Emperor’s aura, there would be no obstacles in his breakthrough to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Not only the Chuantian Empire, but the other eight empires also began to act.
They initially wanted to watch Chuantian Empire confront the Dayu Empire, but they could no longer stand by now.
The Human Emperor’s aura – they had to have it!
Only the king of the Black Dragon Empire, upon receiving the news, did not show excitement but hesitation instead!
