Combining the two creates many possibilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, if he were to refine an offensive divine ability next, he could use [Refining Matter] as the \"fire\" and [Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace] as the \"iron\" to continuously strengthen this offensive ability, causing it to undergo a transformation and derive new changes, similar to the \"Divine Derivation\" of a Grandmaster!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And if he were to choose a defensive divine ability, a life-type divine ability, and so on, the same logic applies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, if Li Fei chooses a military-path divine ability next, he can likewise form a combination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this also means that his future path is basically determined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over these past two months, besides handling the military affairs of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, he has been communicating with Qiu Zi'an every day, asking the other party many questions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether it is a True Person or a Martial Dao Master, why is it that the highest achievers throughout history only possess seven divine abilities, rather than eight, nine, or even more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is not because no one’s talent in the past millennium has been able to break through this upper limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is because the number of fragments that make up a complete Dao principle can be at most seven!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is a law of the Great Dao, unrelated to talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei initially thought about dual-cultivating both magic and martial arts, hoping to eventually refine over a dozen divine abilities to form a Martial Dao Domain and an array. Only after learning of this law did he realize he had overthought it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he wants to have over a dozen divine abilities, he can only completely separate the martial path and the magic path, each piecing together a complete Dao principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But doing so would contradict his path of unifying magic and martial arts; the difficulty of cultivation would double, and the difficulty of finally breaking through the realm would be even more terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianyi only truly achieved the unification of magic and martial arts after becoming a Grandmaster in the martial path and a top-tier True Person in the magic path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number one person in the world did not actually push the Martial Dao Master realm and the True Spirit realm to the extreme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether as a Martial Dao Master or a True Person, Lin Tianyi broke through his realms with the minimum of three divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under normal circumstances, Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons who break through with three divine abilities struggle to break through the first layer of the realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lin Tianyi unified magic and martial arts; he combined the Martial Dao Domain formed by his three divine abilities with the array formed by his three divine abilities. With magic and martial arts unified, the two paths complemented each other, allowing him to continue breaking through realms and finally reach the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei, by \"refining weapons with his body,\" has embarked on a path different from Lin Tianyi, achieving the unification of magic and martial arts one major realm earlier than the other party!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he must also abide by the laws of the Great Dao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is to say, if he wants to walk the path of unifying magic and martial arts, he can at most choose seven divine abilities to combine, finally piecing them into a Dao principle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, he will face the same problem as Lin Tianyi: to achieve balance between magic and martial arts, the number of divine abilities on both sides must be equal; with three divine abilities for the martial path, there can only be three for the magic path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If either side has one more divine ability, the balance will be broken!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Tianyi could not possess seven divine abilities; as it stands, even though Li Fei has embarked on a different path of unifying magic and martial arts, it seems he also cannot possess seven divine abilities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, the fact that Lin Tianyi could become the number one person in the world shows that this path of unifying magic and martial arts is a stronger path than the limit of seven divine abilities!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei now has three divine abilities, and the fourth one will be very critical.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he is to refine a military-path divine ability next, his future path will be basically determined, and his future Dao principle will most likely be related to the military path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do I prefer group warfare, or fighting alone?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei asked himself this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he chooses the military path, with the help of the Imperial Guard Army, he could soon possess Grandmaster-level combat power!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he breaks through to become a Grandmaster in the future, he could possess even higher-level power, just like Bai Yan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But carefully recalling the battles he has experienced along the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei discovered that, compared to being a God of War, he still prefers to be a War God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming to this world, the individual heroism in his heart was thoroughly ignited; otherwise, the Green-Faced Ghost would never have been born.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And even if Lin Tianyi could only manage six divine abilities, it doesn't mean that is the limit.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through his exchanges with Qiu Zi'an, Li Fei actually has some vague ideas about his upcoming cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is just that the establishment of the Barbarian-Slaying Army has shown him another path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, not everyone has the opportunity to command three thousand-man Imperial Guard units simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he has made a firm decision, Li Fei relaxed and began to consider other issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barbarian-Slaying Army is such a powerful force that even if he does not consider walking the military path in the future, he must firmly grasp it in his hands and make good use of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can only find someone I can completely trust to take charge of the Barbarian-Slaying Army on my behalf.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei already had a candidate in mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I take charge of the Barbarian-Slaying Army for you? How is that possible? I’m not even at the Dao Foundation stage!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the room, Li Tianyu looked at Li Fei with a face full of astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Back when the war in the North first began, she had followed a professor from Wu'an University to the North for training. (See Chapter 150 of Volume 3 for details.)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since then, she had never left, and later even took the initiative to apply to join the Barbarian-Slaying Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she was ruthlessly rejected by Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Li Fei returned to Barbarian-Slaying City, he had Li Tianyu transferred over as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Zhen’s judgment of Li Tianyu was very accurate; the place most suitable for her was the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through the tempering of the battlefield, Li Tianyu quickly broke through from the mid-stage of Qi Transformation to the peak of the Qi Transformation stage, and could begin \"Returning to One.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Over the past two months, Li Fei would specifically set aside time every day to perform his self-created \"Hundred-Day Breakthrough Method\" on Li Tianyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether in terms of personal aptitude or willpower, Li Tianyu met the requirements of the \"Hundred-Day Breakthrough Method.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After more than two months of cultivation, her completion of \"Returning to One\" had already exceeded ninety percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will be able to complete 'Returning to One' in at most another month and become a Dao Foundation stage martial artist.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said to Li Tianyu, \"Currently, there are fewer than 20 Dao Foundation stage martial artists in the Barbarian-Slaying Army. Once you break through, it won't be long before you are among the best in combat power, so don't worry about not being able to command respect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister, hasn't your dream since childhood been to become a female general and gallop across the battlefield? Now that I'm giving you the chance, why are you afraid?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei deliberately provoked her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This tactic worked; Li Tianyu’s gaze sharpened, and she lifted her chin:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who said I was afraid? Fine, then it’s settled!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei smiled: \"Then from today on, you must practice military-path martial arts.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had decided not to walk the military path in the future, he would not stay in the North forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After he leaves, there must be someone he trusts enough to take over this newly established Barbarian-Slaying Army in the North for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most suitable candidate he could think of was Li Tianyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, she can be absolutely trusted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secondly, Li Tianyu’s aptitude and talent are indeed suited for the battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Military-path martial arts? Who do I learn from?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tianyu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei: \"That’s simple. I will have a word with Principal Shi and have him arrange for a professor who specializes in military-path martial arts to come to the North specifically to teach you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without the connection to Shi Caiming, with his current status, reputation, and power, he could easily accomplish this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s just that it will be hard on you to stay in the North for a long time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei said to Li Tianyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tianyu waved her hand, unconcerned:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What of it? I’ve always liked the battlefield. Being able to stay here, and even having the chance to command such a strong force as the Barbarian-Slaying Army, is what I’ve dreamed of!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, she suddenly looked at Li Fei earnestly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Fei, thank you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for Li Fei, she might never have had the chance in her life to command such a strong force as the Barbarian-Slaying Army.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then practice hard, and strive to become a 'Commander-level' military-path expert in the future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Fei laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, it’s a deal!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Tianyu nodded seriously, her eyes full of determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Province, Provincial Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master, this is the secret letter sent back by Qu Yan. It can now be confirmed that our eyes and ears in the palace have all been controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the study, the butler of the Lu Residence reported to Lu Wenzheng while presenting a secret letter with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wenzheng’s expression was somewhat gloomy; he took the letter and opened it directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading it, his expression became even uglier, and he looked at the butler:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Make a call to Hongyi University and invite Principal Xu to the residence for a talk.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The butler quickly withdrew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That afternoon, Xu Jing arrived at the Lu Residence. Lu Wenzheng greeted him personally, and then they entered the study alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In the past two months, the eyes and ears my Lu family planted in the palace have all been controlled.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wenzheng got straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing was startled and looked at him: \"Controlled? Controlled by whom?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen sneered: \"In the imperial palace, besides that person, who else could immediately uncover all the eyes I have planted in the Lu family?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is it His Majesty?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing frowned, \"Why?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen did not give an answer immediately: \"Besides my Lu family, the eyes of all the other families have also been controlled. I was able to obtain this information because I specifically hid one person, whom I have never used in all these years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing listened, feeling even more puzzled: \"Controlling the eyes of all the families—is it to conceal some important news?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen looked at him: \"The person I hid does not have a high status in the palace and cannot find out about very sensitive inner information. The other party only told me that starting from July 15th, the imperial palace began martial law, relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"July 15th?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing thought back carefully, \"The day Qiming died?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle achievements of the Barbarian-Slaying Army and Li Fei had long spread throughout the world; July 15th was the very day the 'evil demon' Qiming was executed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen nodded and said meaningfully:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty has not held a Grand Morning Assembly for over two months.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the Central Cabinet handles various government affairs, the timing for holding a Grand Morning Assembly is not fixed; even if one were never held, it would not have a major impact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the current Son of Heaven is a very diligent emperor; in the past, he would hold at least one Grand Morning Assembly every month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not holding a Grand Morning Assembly for over two consecutive months is indeed very rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing understood the meaning behind Lu Wen's words, his expression becoming grave as an invisible force enveloped the study:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying that something has gone wrong with His Majesty's health?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen narrowed his eyes: \"I think it is very likely. How could one kill a peak expert from afar without paying a price? Especially when it was a peak expert who had condensed the Dao principle of curses?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing is at the Grandmaster cultivation realm and understands the weight of a peak expert even better; hearing Lu Wen say this, he also felt it made a lot of sense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If something has really gone wrong with His Majesty's health...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more Xu Jing thought about it, the more flustered he felt!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any change in imperial power is a huge storm; the higher one's position, the closer one is to the center of the storm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neither Xu Jing nor Lu Wen could possibly stay out of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What's more, because of Li Fei, he and the Lu family had already secretly joined forces with the First Imperial Prince once, making it even easier to be dragged into the water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And currently, it looks like Li Fei is closer to the Crown Prince.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the power Li Fei now commands, if he fully supports the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince's chances of winning will be even greater!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Crown Prince inherits the throne and sits on the dragon chair...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing glanced at Lu Wen and saw the same deep chill in the other's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are your thoughts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jing asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Wen was silent for a long time before slowly saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you think there is still a possibility of reconciliation between us and Li Fei?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Northern Border, Barbarian-Slaying City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, the last batch of baleful weapons and the supplies needed for daily maintenance have all been put into storage.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the drill ground, Lu Wenxing reported to Li Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Barbarian-Slaying Army has an establishment of 3,600 Imperial Camp soldiers, which means there must be at least 3,600 sets of baleful weapons, as well as various supplies for daily maintenance and care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These things cannot be generated out of thin air; they are the fruits of what the Buddhist school has refined for the imperial court over the past few years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, the imperial court's promise to the Buddhist school was—for every fifty sets of baleful weapons the Pudu Temple and temples everywhere cumulatively refined and maintained for the imperial court, the imperial court would build one more temple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Refining and maintaining fifty sets of baleful weapons means one cannot just refine fifty sets, but needs to refine at least one hundred sets!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because baleful weapons themselves suffer wear and tear; whether in daily training or combat, baleful weapons will sustain damage, and once it exceeds a certain degree, a set of baleful weapons can no longer be used.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, to maintain the use of fifty sets of baleful weapons, there must be fifty sets of baleful weapons as backups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the wear on the current fifty sets of baleful weapons reaches a certain level, they must be replaced with the backup baleful weapons, and then the former ones are sent for repairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If some cannot be repaired, they need to be re-refined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is why the Great Lan Dynasty, even with the strength of the entire nation, can only barely maintain four ten-thousand-man-level military formations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This stuff isn't something you can just ignore once it's refined; it must consume a massive amount of manpower and material resources to maintain and care for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the help of the Buddhist school, even if the Great Lan Dynasty still had materials to use, it would not have enough manpower to refine and maintain more baleful weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The 3,600 sets of baleful weapons the Barbarian-Slaying Army received now are all the backup baleful weapons of the 3,600 Imperial Camp soldiers who had previously sacrificed their lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, in the short term, the Barbarian-Slaying Army's Imperial Camp soldiers will have no backup baleful weapons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Marquis, we must use these baleful weapons sparingly.
