Three days later...

Chu Tianyao woke up from his coma.

He saw Xiao Ruoli beside him. "Ruoli...where is this?"

Xiao Ruoli said softly, "This is the East Sea... You were seriously injured by Ye Linyuan, so I brought you here to heal."

Chu Tianyao nodded. "Ruoli... how are Mr. Nangong and the others doing now?"

"Uncle Nangong has led the old Canglong troops into Canglong Ridge."

"That's where the Demon Emperor roams freely; Murong Ran's Qionghuang Army won't go there easily..."

"The East Sea is full of spiritual energy... You should take good care of yourself."

Chu Tianyao nodded and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

Seven days later...

Chu Tianyao has fully recovered from his injuries.

The Yin-Yang Chaos Body is, after all, an unparalleled physique. If it weren't for the astonishing power of Ye Linyuan's sword strike, it would have been impossible to defeat it.

Chu Tianyao could have recovered long ago...

During these ten days, Xiao Ruoli stabilized her cultivation at the ninth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Chu Tianyao then realized that Xiao Ruoli's cultivation level had improved again.

Moreover, she also possesses a divine weapon that exudes unparalleled killing power.

Upon seeing this, Chu Tianyao seemed to remember something. He took out the Lingxiao Sword, broken in two, from his storage bag...

"This Lingxiao Sword was broken by Ye Linyuan... It needs to be repaired and forged, otherwise its power will be greatly reduced."

With this in mind, Chu Tianyao issued a command to the system.

"System, can damaged weapons be repaired or enhanced?"

"Ding! Hello host... This system has equipment repair and enhancement functions."

"Damage has been detected in the Lingxiao Sword (Nascent Soul level) currently equipped. Repairing it will require 100,000 Dao Points, and strengthening it will require 500,000 Dao Points."

"The host currently has the following remaining Dao Points: . Would the host like to choose to repair or strengthen?"

Chu Tianyao pondered for a moment, "The repair and enhancement of this weapon requires such a high number of Dao Points...?"

"The repair and enhancement together will require 600,000 Dao Derivation Points..."

Chu Tianyao clicked his tongue in amazement. "Back then, wiping out a sect only yielded a few hundred thousand Dao Refinement Points... This expense..."

"However, on the other hand, anything produced by the system is bound to be of high quality. Since the system dares to accept so many Dao Derivation Points, the quality of the enhanced Lingxiao will be drastically different!"

With this in mind, Chu Tianyao issued a command to the system.

"Use 600,000 Dao Points to repair and strengthen the Lingxiao Sword."

"Ding! The Lingxiao Sword has been repaired and strengthened according to the host's request... Total Dao Points consumed, remaining Dao Points."

The next moment, the Lingxiao Sword, which had been broken in two, became brand new!

The Lingxiao Sword seemed to have been fully activated.

A faint sword aura, seemingly formed from clouds and mist, surrounds the sword. This aura is not only incredibly sharp, capable of easily cutting through space, but also contains a power to purify all things and shatter illusions.

Wherever the sword tip lightly touches, even the solid void will ripple, demonstrating its supreme majesty as a top-tier weapon for the Nascent Soul realm.

After being enhanced by the system, the Lingxiao Sword is no longer just a weapon; it is more like a touch of spiritual energy in the world.

It is the product of the perfect fusion of the sword master's will and the laws of heaven and earth. Every time it is drawn, it is a profound interpretation and challenge of the rules of heaven and earth.

Chu Tianyao gently stroked the completely different Lingxiao Sword, feeling its sharpness!

He recalled Ye Linyuan's final sword strike...

"That sword strike was terrifying... it shattered my Void-Piercing Cloud-Soaring Sword."

"But this doesn't seem reasonable... My sword and my sword skills are all products of the system, so they should already be invincible within the same realm."

"In other words, one shouldn't be suppressed at the Nascent Soul stage... even though I was poisoned and injured at the time..."

"It shouldn't have been such a complete defeat... How could Ye Linyuan unleash combat power surpassing the Nascent Soul Realm?"

"At that time...who was the woman in white behind him that I vaguely sensed?"

Chu Tianyao was lost in thought, and Xiao Ruoli was also pondering her next steps.

"The losses in this battle were heavy... Although Uncle Nangong and some of the remaining troops withdrew from Ziqi Ridge."

"However, the vast majority of our fighting force was lost in Gu Ning City. In the short term, it will be difficult to withstand the Qionghuang Dynasty again!"

"Fortunately, this misfortune turned into a blessing... I found 'Cang,' which allows my cultivation to advance further."

“We need a new base right now…” Xiao Ruoli looked around. “The East Sea is full of spiritual energy. Such a treasure land for cultivation should not be occupied by the Sun Wheel Kingdom.”

"The Sun Wheel Kingdom is just a small country on an island... With my current strength, I should be able to take it down easily."

Thinking of this, Xiao Ruoli said, "Tianyao, I want to kill the Sun Wheel Kingdom's ruler with my sword and occupy the East Sea region."

Chu Tianyao nodded. "I'll go with you! With our cultivation at its peak, we can easily handle the Qionghuang Army. The mere Rilun Kingdom is nothing to us."

After a short rest, the two traveled by light and flew towards the direction of the Sun Wheel Kingdom.

The country of Rilun is not large in area, but it has a large population.

After acquiring the East Sea from Murong Ran, Oda Nobuyoshi, the ruler of the Sun Wheel Kingdom, led the Martial Arts Alliance to expand its territory.

Sweep away all the major and minor forces around the East China Sea.

The development over the past decade has been nothing short of rapid.

His martial arts alliance had grown to over ten thousand members...

Among them were cultivators at the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages.

Oda Nobuyoshi himself also entered the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Although its power cannot compare with that of the Qionghuang Dynasty, the Northern Flame Wolves, or the Western Demon Clan.

However, it can be considered the fourth power in the lower realm...

Inside the Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters

Oda Nobuyoshi is looking at the latest intelligence...

"Hmm... A conflict has broken out between the former forces of the Azure Dragon Dynasty and the Qionghuang Army..."

"After the collapse of Ningcheng, Nangong Yanyu led her troops in defeat and fled to Ziqi Ridge..."

"It seems that great chaos is about to break out in Zhongzhou!"

Oda Nobuyoshi's eyes began to light up. "This is a good opportunity... if they can fight to the death."

"The members of our Martial Arts Alliance can then march on Qionghuang and seize the world!"

"Right now, the strength of everyone in our Martial Arts Alliance far surpasses what it was ten years ago. In recent years, we have made great strides and swept across the surrounding small countries!"

"Wherever I go, I will be unstoppable! This world will be mine sooner or later."

While Oda Nobuyoshi was contemplating his grand ambition of unifying Japan by force.

Xiao Ruoli and Chu Tianyao have arrived above the Martial Arts Alliance headquarters...

Chu Tianyao looked at Xiao Ruoli and said leisurely, "Ruoli, are you planning to annihilate the Sun Wheel Kingdom here?"
