As for the tens of thousands of elite soldiers from the Western Regions, the valiant generals and colonels, they saw that Li Kedi could become a deputy general. They thought they were not much worse than him, so why couldn’t they be promoted themselves? However, due to Li Guanyi’s renown, they harbored no rebellious thoughts. Upon Li Guanyi’s order, they departed the next day for Xiyi City. Returning to his residence, he stretched out his hand, and in the void, ripples appeared. A white tiger’s claw emerged from the void before him. Amidst a low growl, an imposing and dignified White Tiger Dharma Form stepped out, far more solemn and majestic than ever before. The Chi Xiao Sword, which seldom paid attention to this White Tiger Dharma Form, suddenly gave a resonant whistle. In the room, the aura of flames circulated and condensed, transforming into red scale armor that flowed. Accompanied by the low sound of a dragon’s roar, the form of the Red Dragon reappeared here. Li Guanyi sat cross-legged, with the white tiger raising its head to his left and the red dragon coiling on his right. Both Dharma Forms were not in their original shapes. They had an inexplicable ease and vastness, with the Red Dragon’s scales tinged with gold and the White Tiger’s eyes full of desolation. Between them was a hidden aura of a fierce battle between dragons and tigers, making the void seem heavy with pressure. Li Guanyi extended his hand to feel the energy of the White Tiger and the Red Dragon. He could vaguely sense what happened after that arrow was released. Closing his five fingers: "The national destiny of the Dangxiang Kingdom has been devoured..." "The ruler of Dangxiang Kingdom must have been deeply influenced by the Demon Sect, leading the nation to decline despite being its ruler. I killed the White Emperor’s destiny; the ruler of Dangxiang contended with me in Qi Mechanism, and due to various reasons, was backlashed by his own national fortune." "The White Tiger Dharma Form has further evolved, now implicitly standing on equal footing with the Red Dragon." "The Dangxiang Kingdom is not a true opponent anymore, the Wolf King’s army is still outside the Dangxiang Kingdom’s borders, besieging the city." Li Guanyi felt the Nine Provinces Tripod inside him resonating endlessly, and thus his Divine Soul was introspectively infused, seeing the changes emitted by the Nine Provinces Tripod. Dimly, there was a gathering of flowing lights within the Nine Provinces Tripod, eventually merging into Jade Liquid! Its color was mixed, yet its essence pure. Containing energy transformed from malevolence, and from what the White Tiger had devoured, Li Guanyi pressed his hand on the bronze tripod, utterly understanding the Qi Fortune inside it— It consisted of several different transformations. From the Qi Fortune of the Nine Tribes of Tiele and Anxi City. From the Martial School’s aura of the Seven Tribes of the Western Regions, who were conquered by his valor. And also from the national destiny of the Dangxiang Kingdom, which was just exterminated, completely devoured, and erased. As a result, within this bronze tripod, various Qi Fortunes surged turbulently, vast and majestic. The young man reached out his hand, as if pressing the tripod into his palm, thus circulating, thus transforming, though each had different substances, and varying degrees of purity. Yet on this immensely vast land of the Western Regions. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝘯𝘦𝘵 Among the Thirty-six Tribes of the Western Regions, the Qi Fortune of seventeen tribes was already inside this tripod! Conquered, half already! Either submitted, defeated, destroyed, or perished. Thus, all the Qi Fortunes resided on this body. Li Guanyi murmured: "The Supreme Path of the Military School, conquering cities and nations, unifying the world..." The immense White Tiger Dharma Form lowered its eyes, and the fur on its body subtly glowed with strands of platinum-like flowing light. In the end, all these lights surged, resembling starlight from the heavens, falling onto the Nine Provinces Tripod inside Li Guanyi. In the Nine Provinces Tripod, representing the part of the Western Regions, the golden flowing light once again changed. Streamlets of golden imprints extended and varied, rapidly expanding from the area of Anxi City to encompass a large additional section. The major part of the Dangxiang Kingdom’s territory was completely imprinted onto this bronze tripod. The golden flowing light was magnificent; in an instant, more than half of the Western Regions part of the Nine Provinces Tripod was completed, just the territorial scope appearing on the Nine Provinces Tripod already vastly surpassed Li Guanyi’s own Jiangnan! How vast the Western Regions are, though sparsely populated, yet abundant with resources. Population, produce, commerce cannot compare to the two great nations of the Central Plains. But in terms of area, it need not be much smaller than the Chen Country. If completely absorbed, and descending to connect with Jiangnan, then Marquis Qin Wu could indeed claim—it’s a Country of Ten Thousand Miles! The Western Regions serve as the foundation for a monarch. However, the geographical map formed by the Qi Fortune on the Nine Provinces Tripod was still incomplete, especially the Dangxiang Kingdom. Li Guanyi thought this might require exploring the Dangxiang Kingdom’s secret treasures, while for others like [Da Wan] and [Shatuo]. Li Guanyi would need to propagate his fame throughout the four corners and seize all forty-two cities to succeed. Li Guanyi slowly opened his eyes, gazing into the distance, the White Tiger and Red Dragon quietly accompanied him by his side. He looked at his palm—a hand that once needed to borrow the scattered Primordial Qi from other Martial Arts Grandmasters, until quietly reaching this stage? Indeed, it has been a long road. Yet what reaction would the Nine-colored Divine Deer have, witnessing such phenomena? Li Guanyi chuckled softly. The following day, Li Guanyi’s troops left Yemen Pass and headed for Xiyi City, aiming to strengthen the alliance with the Duke and inform Hao Yuanxia of the matters concerning the Dangxiang Kingdom, with intentions for the entire world. Fan Qing assisted Li Guanyi, while Qibi Li led six thousand golden-curved blade cavalry. Li Kedi acted as Fan Qing’s deputy, along with several other valiant barbarian generals, leading over ten thousand captured troops. Their combined force of twenty-three thousand marched towards Xiyi City, with Li Guanyi utilizing a gift previously given by the Nine-colored Divine Deer, gaining an opportunity to survey the sandstorms, displaying divine might that earned the utmost respect from the soldiers.
