Chapter 68

As for the glowing formation before our eyes, it's also easy to explain: it's the spatial-temporal power that Li Fei developed during this period, and with the help of that power he created a spatial teleportation formation.

Once this spatial teleportation formation appears, it greatly reduces manpower costs, and communication between the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the Li family branch in Suotuo City becomes much more convenient and swift.

They no longer need to waste time running that far; whether they want to go back or come back, they can easily achieve it directly via the spatial teleportation formation, and the transmission of information is also very important.

However, this spatial teleportation formation is not easy to create; back then it consumed a large amount of Li Fei's brainpower to develop, which also caused his cultivation to stagnate, and only after these past few months has he finally become a sixty‑rank Soul Emperor today.

Listen, is this even human speech?

A seven‑year‑old Soul Emperor, and you're still not satisfied? The lower your starting point, the higher the rank you achieve, and your future potential is therefore limitless.

"What's the matter?" Li Fei asked, looking at Li Fu Bo.

Li Fu Bo immediately said, "The prince's envoy has delivered the message: Balak's resolve to deal with our Li family is growing stronger."

"Is this guy still looking for death?"

"Wouldn't it be better to make money and cooperate? Why insist on seeking death?"

Li Fei narrowed his eyes slightly.

Last time, the prince's envoy reported that Balak wanted to act against the Li family over interests, but the envoy's words dissuaded him, so he took no action.

Moreover, Li Fei was busy with various family affairs and developing the spatial teleportation formation, leaving him no spare time to deal with them.

Only then did Li Fei spare their life.

But now the other side is being dishonest again, so we must make them understand who the true ruler is.

"As long as the head of the family gives the order, this servant will certainly behead that person." Li Fu Bo expressed respectfully.

The Balak Kingdom has a total of five cities: the prince resides in Prince City, the king resides in Balak City, Suotuo City is secretly under our control, and the remaining two cities are the opponent's granary.

Li Fei was pondering whether to keep this prince or kill him, thinking: "No need to kill him; keeping him is still useful. When necessary, someone can stand in front to block for us. Rather than killing him outright, it's better to let him die while shielding us from arrows. Originally I didn't want to use this tactic, but this guy's rebellious heart is so strong, and he's also so greedy."

"Then we can only bring the previously secret plan into the open ahead of time."

"You must personally feed this poison pill to Prince Balak, witness his poisoning with your own eyes, and give a warning; otherwise, take his life."

Li Fei said lightly, in his view a prince like Balak is nothing; if he wishes, he can wipe out a large group at any time, but what he wants is not that—it is total control of the overall situation, even control of the Balak Kingdom.

Perhaps he could also use this to control the Balak Kingdom's royal family, military, and aristocratic clans; as long as he controls these three, the rest need not be worried.

At that point they could use the Balak Kingdom as a shell to secretly establish an underground Li dynasty, then gradually devour the surrounding small kingdoms.

The Tian Dou Empire was the first supreme sovereignty created in the form of a union of these states; it was not a true unification, but rather an alliance between states.

This type is also the easiest to dismantle and control.

He has plenty of methods.

But there's no rush now.

One must eat a bite at a time and walk step by step.

"Yes, sir!"

Li Fu Bo nodded, and under the effect of the teleportation formation he quickly returned to Suotuo City, then hurried to Prince City at the fastest speed.

After glancing at these one hundred youths, Li Fei waved his hand, causing them to sit cross‑legged around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and begin meditating to cultivate the Azure Dragon Technique to increase their soul power.

The Azure Dragon Technique is a portion he extracted from the Eastern Azure Dragon Technique, then slightly modified according to the operation of the human meridians, vessels, bones, tendons, and acupoints, etc., creating a method that cultivates soul power, physique, and mental strength; it can also be called the Lesser Azure Dragon Technique.

Besides these people, he also passed it on to Li Yunsong, Li Jianguo, Su Lan, Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo, Li Fu Bo, and others.

These people are the future Li family's most trusted and most loyal core members.

As for Flender and Liu Erlong, out of self‑interest he did not give it to them.

He also has a clue about how to increase the year of soul rings; next, he plans to focus on researching this knowledge.

However, before that, he needs to hunt for his sixth soul ring for himself.

Upon entering the cave dwelling, Dugu Bo was leisurely drinking tea.

These days he has also tried to break through to rank ninety‑eight, attempting several times but failing each time; an invisible barrier unseen has been blocking his progress.

It seems that no matter how powerful he is, if he does not make a bodily change, it is impossible to break through.

As soon as he saw Li Fei emerge from seclusion, he immediately complained and voiced his feelings.

After hearing him, Li Fei said, "This is all because you lack a hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring; as long as you can possess one, you will definitely be able to break through rank ninety‑eight."

"Ranks ninety‑seven and ninety‑eight are like a super huge heavenly tribulation."

"Even if you really gave me a hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring, I already have no place to put it."

Dugu Bo sighed.

"I already have a lead on how to increase soul‑ring years; after this hunt for my sixth soul ring I will go into seclusion to study, and as long as you can then raise your ninth soul ring to a hundred‑thousand‑year level, you will be able to break through rank ninety‑eight." Li Fei took a sip of tea and said lightly.

He, however, is not in a hurry.

For now, still early in the plot, he has grasped the initiative and the advantage of foreknowledge.

"A method to increase soul‑ring years? Good fellow, you've actually come up with this—you're truly an unparalleled monster!" Dugu Bo exclaimed in shock.

"Actually, besides increasing soul‑ring years, I have another method." Li Fei said, "But I'm not sure if it will work."

"Go on, I'm listening." Dugu Bo became interested.

"That is to absorb a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone." Li Fei said.

Dugu Bo thought and said, "As far as I know, hundred‑thousand‑year soul bones of that level come from soul beasts, and the entire Star Dou Great Forest only has two of those. If we were to act against them, it would be equivalent to facing two hundred‑thousand‑year soul beasts, and such high‑level soul beasts are not easy to kill; they could easily trigger a massive beast tide, with serious consequences."

A flicker of pity flashed in his eyes: "Moreover, absorbing only a hundred‑thousand‑year soul bone without taking the hundred‑thousand‑year soul ring is truly wasteful."

"Indeed, this is a method of last resort; let's not rush—wait until my soul‑ring improvement method is ready, then we'll talk."

Li Fei nodded.

For the time being, he did not reveal the news about Xiao Wu and the right leg soul bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.

This is also being kept as a trump card to be played later.

In fact, compared to killing the Clear Sky Python and the Titan Giant Ape, he prefers to bring Xiao Wu over, kill her, absorb her soul ring and soul bone, and also seize the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor.

However, comparatively, Xiao Wu is easier to deal with, while the right leg bone of the Blue Silver Emperor is definitely being personally guarded by Tang Hao, and this guy, when he goes berserk, is not easy to handle.
