Chapter 1847: Astonishing Ambition

"No need."

I can just go back myself.

You all focus on training, don't slack off.

Once the ferocious beasts arrive, we should also set out for the border battlefield!

Ye Liuyun gave them a few instructions, then prepared to return to the Royal City alone.

At this moment, Tong Xin rushed over and told Ye Liuyun that the puppet he had commissioned was finished.

Tong Xin took out a black metal puppet, with medium-grade crystal stones already installed, and directly had Ye Liuyun input his divine sense into it.

While Ye Liuyun input his divine sense, he also infused a bit of the primordial power of lightning and nether ghost fire into it.

"The waist of this puppet uses a universal joint, so even if struck from the side, it won't fall over," Tong Xin then gave Ye Liuyun a detailed explanation of the puppet's features.

"What combat power can it reach?"

Ye Liuyun asked.

"Using low-grade divine crystal, its strength is about that of late third stage and early fourth stage."

Using medium-grade divine crystal, its strength is that of late fourth stage.

It's the same as the puppet you fought before, just with a sturdier shell.

My current skill in crafting can only reach this level.

I've improved its energy storage space, allowing it to hold twelve medium-grade crystal stones, which makes the combat time four times longer than before.

Tong Xin said.

"Good, this is already not bad!"

Ye Liuyun praised.

"If our army could be equipped with such puppets, we'd be invincible!"

Yu Xiaofeng sighed.

"But the puppet's weaknesses are also obvious—its flexibility and autonomy are poor, making it suitable only for simple tasks."

Tong Xin explained.

"Can we first make a giant?"

"For use in attacking cities or charging to intimidate the enemy?"

Yu Xiaofeng asked again.

"That would require a lot of materials!"

Tong Xin also exclaimed in amazement.

He thought they would still need to use the materials for crafting Ye Liuyun's puppet.

Ye Liuyun laughed and suggested: "Try using the materials for crafting armor."

Adding the defensive capability of a formation would basically be enough.

As long as we ensure that damage to the puppet part doesn't affect overall movement, that's fine.

When in use, if any part breaks, just repair it.

Besides, those materials aren't expensive; building puppets to attack cities and block arrows is more cost-effective than losing our soldiers.

"No problem.

"What kind do you want?"

Tong Xin asked Yu Xiaofeng.

Ye Liuyun also stopped participating in their discussion and rushed back to the Royal City himself.

Along the way, he had the puppet pilot the flying boat, while he himself returned to the Xuan Kong Stone to cultivate together with Lei Ming and the others.

After arriving at the Royal Mansion, Ye Liuyun first went to see Zhang Wencai and Pei Yong, giving each of them three intent crystal stones.

These two had helped him greatly before, and Ye Liuyun knew to be grateful.

Zhang Wencai also brought Ye Liuyun back to his previous residence.

"I've kept this place for you all along! Whenever you come back, you can stay here directly."

Pei Yong also wanted to follow Ye Liuyun's lead, and wished to bring a few brothers to join Ye Liuyun's legion.

"Everyone says your treatment is excellent.

I've just never had the chance to speak with you.

Ye Liuyun immediately agreed as well; in their previous battle, they also lost nearly a hundred soldiers.

Moreover, in future battles there will also be attrition, requiring constant replenishment.

But he also warned Pei Yong: "The treatment is good, no mistake, but the training and elimination are very strict, and the danger in battle is also great.

You are welcome to join, but everything must go through normal training; I won't give you a back door.

"No problem!"

Pei Yong also immediately agreed.

They were chatting when a messenger came over to find Ye Liuyun.

"Leader Ye, the Prince requests your presence at the Grand Hall for council!"

Ye Liuyun didn't dare delay; after telling Pei Yong to wait for him, he immediately followed the messenger and rushed to the Grand Hall.

The Western Liang King's Royal Mansion Grand Hall is sealed off by a formation outside, and Tang cannot detect the situation inside.

Only after Ye Liuyun entered did they notice the strong demonic qi.

His golden pupil immediately saw the Western Liang King, He Lian Tian Yuan himself.

He looked like a man in his forties, with a very imposing demeanor.

He never expected that the Western Liang King would actually be a demon cultivator.

Ye Liuyun pays his respects to the Prince!

Ye Liuyun proactively offers his respects.

How strange?

I am actually a demon cultivator!

The Prince of Western Liang smiled and asked.

Actually, I am also a demon cultivator!

Ye Liuyun immediately replied: "To me, demon cultivation is just a cultivation method, a kind of power; it doesn't represent anything."

You're surprisingly unbothered!

The Prince of Western Liang chuckled and directly asked: "Tell me about your plans!"

Ye Liuyun guessed he was asking about the future development of the Death Legion, and answered: "I plan to take the legion to the borderlands for further tempering, then go to the Alien Battlefield after returning."

As for whether to bring the whole legion at that time, it will depend on their condition.

After Ye Liuyun finished speaking, his Golden Pupil clearly saw the Prince of Western Liang shake his head.

Not big enough!

The Prince of Western Liang said: "This is your problem—your goal is too small, you lack ambition."

You always want to develop relying solely on your own strength.

You now have so many subordinates, yet you didn't think to make use of them!

Upon hearing this, Ye Liuyun also became somewhat resolute.

He previously felt his development was fast enough, but he didn't expect his goal to be raised by the Prince of Western Liang.

The Prince of Western Liang also didn't press further, and directly said: "I'll suggest a direction; see if it works for you."

Prince, please go ahead!

Ye Liuyun also wanted to hear the expert's opinion.

Recruit troops and expand the army, then march to the southwest border battlefield, subdue the major forces there, then expand the army again, then take elite troops to the Alien Battlefield for training, after returning attack the south, until capturing the Royal City, and proclaim kingship in the southern region.

Then I will go north, you go east, we will conquer all directions, and finally encircle the central region.

After success, I will unify the Divine Realm.

You can lead troops to attack the Foreign Tribe, you can stay in the Central Region, you can return to the Southern Region or Eastern Region to proclaim kingship, or you can retire into seclusion.

If I encounter an unexpected mishap midway, then you must persist with this goal on your own.

How about that?

Ye Liuyun was shocked beyond measure.

He didn't expect the Prince of Western Liang's ambition to be so great, actually aiming to unify the Divine Realm.

Moreover, he spoke very directly, without trying to mislead Ye Liuyun with empty talk about jointly managing the Divine Realm in the future.

Ye Liuyun didn't know what to say for a moment.

He had indeed never before thought of causing such a huge commotion in the Divine Realm; he only thought of rescuing Liang Xue and then bringing everyone to the Divine Realm.

As for the future, he hadn't even thought that far ahead.

But now, the Prince of Western Liang has already thought it all out for him in advance.

Moreover, this path has no downsides for Ye Liuyun either.

The greater his power, the higher the chance to rescue Liang Xue.

Thank you for your guidance, Prince!

After Ye Liuyun figured it out, he immediately thanked the Prince of Western Liang.

You should give it more thought!

The Prince of Western Liang said slowly.

No need! I will strive toward this goal!

Ye Liuyun said decisively.

Hmm!

Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil saw the Prince of Western Liang nod in satisfaction.

I will give you a map of the entire Divine Realm.

Only when you have the whole Divine Realm's territory in mind will you have motivation!

Saying this, the Prince of Western Liang used his Divine Sense to transmit the entire map of the Divine Realm to Ye Liuyun.
