It's strange, shouldn't the effects of those primordial elixirs have worn off by now? And isn't it true that the higher one's cultivation level, the harder it is to advance?
Why is it the exact opposite when it happens to him?
And it wasn't just him; Xiao Dai was the same way.
During these days of examination, Liu Lang and Xiao Dai also discovered that they had reached their limit at the peak of the four-star level.
They are just one opportunity away from advancing.
Uh... after all they've been through, they're only at the peak of four stars now?
Liu Lang was also lost in thought, reflecting on how lively the journey had been.
When exactly did it start?
Anyway, ever since they started cultivating, it seems that their enemies have all been far stronger than them.
Right now, they don't even care much about cultivation levels anymore. They'll just have to fight opponents of higher levels anyway. They can't fight those who are too strong, and they don't even bother with those who are too weak.
It's unknown how far they can go in the future, or whether they will encounter enemies even more terrifying than the Nine Stars.
After all, since they reached the fourth-star level, they often saw nine-star experts appearing in their sight.
If no more powerful enemy emerges, then from the fifth-star realm onwards, they will be on an upward trajectory.
After all, there's a power ceiling for fighting opponents of higher levels, which is beneficial to them no matter how you look at it.
If that's the case, then will they also follow the path of becoming an army single-handedly like Mentor Wesa?
Just as Liu Lang was lost in thought...
Verosia, who was inside the tent, also came out.
"Let's go, Liu Lang."
"Um."
It wasn't until the Ninth Princess returned that she explained it to everyone.
The reason for the slowdown in progress these days has also been revealed: the magic routes to the capital have all been destroyed!
This matter drew great attention from the sixth prince, Varian, who even attempted to contact people in the capital. However, the capital seemed to be shrouded in a purple barrier, and there had been no news until this morning.
However, just now, the Prime Minister's message reached the Sixth Prince.
Are you telling us to go and defend Welsh Castle?
Why?
The sixth prince looked at the prime minister's message in astonishment. Of course, in order to persuade the sixth prince, the prime minister also told him the reason.
For unknown reasons, the Ghost Clan, the Undead Clan, and the Vampire Clan all abandoned their plans to invade human lands and instead targeted the empire's capital.
The empire's capital was not built in the safest location, and the empire had encountered similar situations in its early years, except that the five demon kings who came to cause trouble all died at the hands of the emperor.
Therefore, after that incident, the demons no longer dared to think about launching a surprise attack on the human capital.
But that was in the past. As for now...
The Prime Minister is exhausted, not only physically, but also mentally.
The eldest and second princes kept arguing and still hadn't come up with a plan to fight the demons. The emperor locked himself in his bedroom, the ninth princess and the fourth prince went missing, and realizing the situation was not good, he stopped talking to the third princess.
Something must have happened to the emperor, but it shouldn't be anything life-threatening.
Therefore, the Prime Minister was somewhat worried. He feared that if the demons attacked the capital again, they would find that the emperor was unable to come out and fight them.
Fortunately, he received a message from the sixth prince outside the city at this time, which is why he told them why they were going to garrison the Welsh castle.
Is it so that we can be better prepared?
By the way, did you tell the Prime Minister about that strange purple barrier?
"not yet."
"Let's talk to the Prime Minister first, and we'll also wait and see how things go."
The sixth prince also led a large army to Welsh Castle, which was specially built by architects in the early years as one of the important fortresses to protect the capital.
It was here that General Wales held off hundreds of thousands of Netherworld troops. Although he ultimately died in battle, he held out until the Grand General and the Grand Mage arrived to provide support. Only then was the Netherworld Demon King finally eliminated before the Netherworld army could launch a frontal assault on the capital.
Therefore, this place was also known as the Welsh Castle by the Empire, a strategically important location that was easy to defend and difficult to attack.
The royal forces stationed here are also extremely powerful, with almost no warriors below the five-star level.
Which demon clan was the first to arrive?
"It's the nearby undead race, followed by the ghost race."
As for the vampires... they're impossible to guard against. They might have already infiltrated the capital; we can't stop them."
"Um..."
Just as the sixth prince, Varian, was talking with the captain of the royal forces, a piece of terrible news suddenly arrived!
"Something terrible has happened, Your Highness the Sixth Prince!"
The Noble Alliance... is approaching the Imperial Capital aboard a giant flying magical vessel!
Behind it, the flying ships were even more densely packed, roughly estimated to be at least a thousand!
What! ?
Varian and the royal captain's expressions changed, and they hurriedly walked out of the room. As soon as they looked up, they saw the enormous celestial ship in the distance!
