Sheng Xiang used the Spirit Control Technique to completely control the cultivators' offerings, consuming too much of his Guiding Value.
Originally, there was no worry, and there was no issue of insufficient incentive value.
Because Shengxiang's design and layout of the Dai family's secret killing trap was in a competitive phase, everything was very favorable to him as the leader of the trap, and the trap value was rising rapidly.
However, after Zheng Ya assisted Daiyu in refining the ethereal fruit tree magic treasure and took away the secret realm, he cut off Shengxiang's income from the guiding value.
Sheng Xiang's guiding ability creates guiding value income, which is different from Zheng Ya's ability to create spiritual energy through his actions.
At first glance, they are both about causing trouble, only the ways in which they are handled are different.
There shouldn't be any essential difference.
All of these are sources of spiritual, soulful, and willpower income.
However, don't forget that the number and quality of their abilities differ greatly.
Among them, Sheng Xiang awakened the dual superpowers of guidance and the underworld, which complement each other and are very rare.
However, compared to Zheng Ya's plan, the differences and quality of the three supernatural abilities of time and space become apparent.
Space encompasses everything, time brings about the birth and death of everything, and with planning as the driving force, it possesses infinite possibilities.
When these three superpowers collide, it's not surprising that they possess the ability to collect and manipulate psychic energy.
Shengxiang's guidance and supernatural abilities are somewhat lacking.
It can only be effective in guiding each specific strategic deployment.
The objective is divided into three parts: initiating planning and layout to drive profit, and accounting for 10% of the profit value.
Produced products account for 30% of the revenue from production.
The ultimate goal was achieved, accounting for 60% of the revenue generated from the profit-generating activities.
In other words, Sheng Xiang's ultimate goal was to seize the Dai Clan's Secret Realm. After Zheng Ya assisted Daiyu in refining the Secret Realm, Sheng Xiang's ultimate goal of obtaining the secret realm was achieved.
If the magic treasure and secret realm were to be taken from Daiyu, it would be another scheme to profit from the plot.
Each strategic deployment is determined based on the difficulty of the final goal, the proportion of achievement and luck in its influence, and there is no fixed value.
The current chaotic state of the war is most disadvantageous for Shengxiang, who is caught in the middle and taking the beatings.
Furthermore, the Azure Dragon was struggling within the Unity and Confinement Formation of the cultivators' offerings. Once it broke free from the formation's restraints, it would be a devastating blow to Shengxiang.
This inadvertently led Shengxiang into a desperate situation of being besieged on three sides.
Refusing to adapt is tantamount to courting death.
After all, Sheng Xiang knew that he didn't have much leverage left, and it was unrealistic to continue the war of attrition with Zheng Ya.
It would be better to join forces with the Prince of Donglin to destroy Zheng Ya, and then discuss other matters.
Little did they know that with Daiyu's tacit consent, Zheng Ya used his spatial powers to enhance Daiyu's appearance outside her body, then sent her out underground and back in the blink of an eye.
On the field, Prince Donglin didn't trust Sheng Xiang at all: "You brat, you're addicted to framing me! I should thank you!"
These words were spoken with gritted teeth and hatred, revealing a chilling murderous intent.
Originally, the Prince of Donglin was content to live a carefree life in a remote corner of the country and had no intention of rebelling at all.
With his younger sister being the emperor's concubine, he was firmly in his position as a prince, and no one could shake his status until his death.
Why bother with the trouble of rebelling and giving foreign enemies an opportunity to take advantage?
Of course, the Prince of Donglin also thought about assisting the Seventh Princess and the Eighth Prince, who were born to his own sister, the Imperial Concubine, to ascend the throne, but he did so in secret and dared not do it openly.
After all, the Zheng family ancestors established a system for ascending the throne, prohibiting factionalism and requiring the contest for the imperial throne to be based entirely on strength and political achievements.
This system allowed the Zheng dynasty's imperial power to survive for more than two hundred years.
The fact that the enemy country had already changed the imperial throne three or five times speaks volumes.
But this system, which was supposed to benefit the country and its people, changed completely three years ago.
Naturally, this change is related to Sheng Xiang's scheme to manipulate his family's power to usurp the throne, which pushed the Prince of Donglin onto the path of rebellion. Naturally, the Prince hates Sheng Xiang to the core.
A perfectly good game was completely ruined by Sheng Xiang.
Sheng Xiang tasted the bitter fruit for the first time, and offered his bitter advice: "Prince of Donglin, it is true that there are conflicts between you and me, and it is also true that we were enemies in the past and will be enemies in the future."
But don't forget, Zheng Ya has the ability to create an invincible army of 30,000 to 40,000 with a wave of his hand; he is our common enemy.
"If he doesn't die, neither you nor I will survive..."
"Hmph, at least you've said something sensible. Now tell me how you plan to deal with Zheng Ya's illegitimate son. I'm all ears," the Prince of Donglin declared.
In order to prevent the Wu family from being destroyed, the most urgent task is to eliminate Zheng Ya, this potential threat.
A person who can create an invincible army of 30,000 to 40,000 with a wave of his hand will only lead to the extermination of his clan if he stays.
Even if the Wu clan falls into obscurity from now on, they will not escape the targeting and vendettas of those they once provoked.
It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
Moreover, being in a high position means offending many people.
Even if you haven't offended anyone, it's common for people to be trampled on after losing power.
Clearly, the Wu clan has been forced into rebellion by Sheng Xiang. In their conquest of the world, they are following the high-end route of the emperor, where it is all or nothing, with no way out.
Therefore, eliminating the biggest hidden danger is now unavoidable for Zheng Ya.
Given the opportunity to kill Zheng Ya, how could they possibly let it go?
Sheng Xiang, having anticipated the Prince of Donglin's thoughts, laughed and said, "Since we don't trust each other, I propose that we gather our top combat forces to eliminate the demonic dragon first, then kill Zheng Ya, and then each of us can decide our fate based on our own abilities?"
"Good, very good, I accept the challenge." The Prince of Donglin stood with his hands behind his back on the roof ridge, accepting the challenge without hesitation. The steward beside him immediately relayed the battle order.
A group of high-level cultivators quickly moved towards the Azure Dragon.
The steward frowned and transmitted his voice: "Your Highness, be careful, there might be a trap. He has ill intentions..."
"He has no idea how many trump cards and combat power I have hidden. What can he use to fight me?" The Prince of Donglin sneered disdainfully, not taking it seriously.
Although he knew that Sheng Xiang possessed powerful crowd control spells, making him difficult to deal with and kill, he still couldn't withstand a barrage of ranged spells from the cultivator group.
Even if a dense rain of arrows were fired continuously, several waves of them could turn Sheng Xiang into a sieve.
If you stay away from Shengxiang, you won't be controlled by his group.
Targeting weaknesses and killing Sheng Xiang is not difficult; the real challenge is killing Zheng Ya. The Prince of Donglin thinks it would be a good idea to join forces with Sheng Xiang to kill Zheng Ya.
Zheng Ya noticed the trend of the two working together and frowned, scolding, "Oh, you two are just a dog and a wolf, a wolf-dog combination?"
But this obviously doesn't change the nature of eating excrement..."
“Zheng Ya, it is beneath your dignity to be so eloquent. You should consider the benefits of submitting to me…” The Prince of Donglin tentatively tried to win him over.
Zheng Ya is not easy to kill. He once gave the royal family spiritual root repair liquid to heal the hidden injuries of sixteen consorts. He also created an invincible army of 30,000 to 40,000 for Princess Wu, which destroyed the army of the Great Yan Dynasty that invaded Dali in one battle. What is his intention?
Is this a mystery?
Logically speaking, if Zheng Ya were to seize the throne, he could easily retreat to a remote town of the dynasty, secretly build an invincible army, and then conquer the world, gradually expanding the invincible army. Unifying the world would only be a matter of time.
With an invincible army of countless soldiers, they could wear down even the most powerful consorts.
Isn't this the safest, most secure, most productive, and best way to generate income through spiritual practice?
But Zheng Ya did not choose this path, seemingly having no ambition to vie for the throne?
Rumors are not to be believed. The Prince of Donglin is eager to gain Zheng Ya's loyalty, even if it means supporting the invincible army. It would be a win-win opportunity for them!
Zheng Ya was taken aback for a moment, then laughed. Sheng Xiang's heart skipped a beat, and he spoke first: "The Prince of Donglin is a man of his word..."
