Chapter 642 Nine Netherworld Suppressing Meridian Heaven-Connecting Array
The side hall was still the same side hall, but the atmosphere inside was very heavy.
Li Shiyue sat upright in the main seat. Five years had passed, but her face remained as cold and stern as ever.
However, as time went by, her power grew, and with her accumulated influence, her face became so imposing that ordinary people dared not look directly at her.
Sun Xiaoliu is now a general in charge of the Zhenhai Navy. He still stands tall and straight, but his brows now exude a more composed and fierce air.
At this moment, he was bowing to Li Shiyue and reporting: "General, the last ship of silver has been counted and put into the treasury, and the amount has been verified to be correct."
"The silver from the Iwami and Ikuno silver mines, along with the spoils of our Zhenhai Navy's campaigns over the years, totals... twenty-three million taels!"
This number caused even Sun Xiaoliu's own voice to tremble slightly.
Upon hearing this, Li Shiyue's face remained expressionless; she merely tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest.
Twenty-three million taels of silver, and ten years have passed!
Ten years!
This is the blood and sweat she extracted from this disaster-stricken land through iron-fisted plunder and monopoly.
"knew."
She spoke softly, her gaze passing over Sun Xiaoliu and landing on the seemingly calm land outside the window, which actually concealed turbulent undercurrents.
"Go down and prepare according to the plan."
For the next three months, without my order, all large-scale military operations shall be suspended. All troops shall remain at their posts, reassure the public, and suppress any potential unrest.
"Your subordinate obeys!"
Although Sun Xiaoliu did not understand the deeper meaning behind this, he had long been accustomed to carrying out Li Shiyue's orders without hesitation.
He knew that Li Shiyue was bound to do something extraordinary.
After Sun Xiaoliu left, only Li Shiyue remained in the side hall.
She slowly closed her eyes, her consciousness sinking into the trading system in her mind.
She sent an "OK" in the chat box with Bai Zixuan from the cultivation world.
As soon as Li Shiyue sent the message, Bai Zixuan immediately replied with a message.
[Hey, Sister October, have you finally saved up enough money?]
Before Li Shiyue could send her "hmm," Bai Zixuan sent her message again.
【Alright! Now that Sister October has spoken, don't worry, I'll personally have my disciples from the Array Dao adjust it properly for you!】
We'll definitely give you the best! We won't let your money go to waste!
What kind of riddle is Li Shiyue and Bai Zixuan playing here?
That brings us to a plan that Li Shiyue had long had in mind.
Now, she has finally saved enough money, and it is time to put this plan into action.
What Li Shiyue and Bai Zixuan were trading was not an ordinary item, but a formation.
It is a formation called the "Nine Netherworld Suppressing Meridian Connecting Heaven Formation".
This formation is used exclusively by cultivation sects or families in the cultivation world. Just by hearing its name, one can guess its power; it can change the world!
What does Li Shiyue need this formation for?
That night, Li Shiyue, along with Sun Xiaoliu, Chen Yong, Li Qiutian, Ding Haisheng, and the rest of his personal guards and trusted confidants in civil affairs, arrived at the entrance of the treasury.
This treasury is a natural cave, large enough to hold all the silver that Li Shiyue has obtained in Japan over the past ten years!
Standing at the entrance of the treasury, Li Shiyue turned around and looked at her subordinates who had followed her for at least fifteen or sixteen years, and at least five years. After a brief sigh, she finally spoke.
"I'm going to do something big next."
This is something I cannot do alone.
Therefore, I want you to be my witnesses, and I hope that when I do this in the future, you will sincerely help me.
Li Shiyue's words were quite nonsensical, and even Li Qiutian, who was closest to her, did not understand the meaning behind them.
However, no one dared to ask Li Shiyue what she meant by those words at this moment.
Thus, the group followed Li Shiyue into the treasury.
The guards at the front carried torches and lit the oil lamps on the walls of the treasury as soon as they entered.
Although the lamps could only illuminate the front part of the vault, the dim light also reached the seemingly endless stacks of wooden crates inside.
The wooden box naturally contained silver ingots.
After taking a few steps forward, she came to the middle of the stacked wooden crates and suddenly said, "Watch carefully."
Almost instantly, all 23 million taels of silver in this huge treasury vanished!
There were no earth-shattering phenomena, only a slight tremor in Li Shiyue's sea of consciousness.
The vast expanse of silver, like a sea of smoke, vanished in an instant, replaced by;
Li Shiyue now held five stacked array plates, neither gold nor jade, cool to the touch, and inscribed with countless intricate runes that seemed to contain the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!
And surrounding her were eighty-one positioning flags that shimmered with a ghostly light, matching the array.
The moment the array plate came into his hands, a powerful, ancient flow of information, seemingly capable of connecting with the earth's veins, surged into Li Shiyue's mind.
She "saw" the intricate network of tectonic plates beneath the earth's crust of Japan's four main islands, where they were constantly pressing and colliding with each other, and felt the destructive energy that had been accumulating for millions of years and could erupt at any moment.
"As expected... the ley lines here are chaotic and turbulent, like an untamed wild horse."
Li Shiyue opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.
She fully understood the operating principle of the "Nine Netherworld Suppressing Meridian Connecting Heaven Array".
It doesn't forcibly suppress the earth's energy veins—that would be like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
Instead, it uses a mysterious method to sort out, guide, and dredge these violent energies, constructing stable "anchors of the earth's veins" at several key energy nodes;
The forces that were originally released haphazardly, causing earthquakes and volcanoes, are transformed into "earth vein vitality" that is released slowly and steadily to nourish the earth and stabilize the crustal structure.
This "Nine Netherworld Suppressing Meridian Connecting Heaven Array" is what Li Shiyue and Bai Zixuan traded using the silver she earned in Japan over the past ten years!
What is Li Shiyue going to do?
She intends to use this "Nine Netherworld Suppressing Meridian Connecting Heaven Array" to transform Japan!
Earthquakes and volcanoes are like guillotines hanging over the heads of all living beings on the land of Japan, and the greatest natural obstacles preventing her from carrying out thorough transformation and long-term rule over these four islands.
Without resolving this issue, any order she establishes will likely be nothing more than a castle on the beach.
If we're not careful, an earthquake or a volcanic eruption could cause everything to collapse.
What Li Shiyue wanted was not a temporary conquest, but a foundation that would last for a thousand years!
This formation will help her achieve her ultimate goal—to reshape the landscape, create a paradise, and establish Chinese civilization here!
