Starting as a centurion, he fought his way through the chaos of the world.

Chapter 278 Two More States Acquired
"Three hundred and twenty trillion points, not bad." Lu Ming thought to himself as he looked at the number.

When you have some free time, you can exchange for some treasures.

After a while, you should have more points.

Thinking of this, his smile deepened, and then he followed Ancestor Xuanhuang into the main hall.

By this time, someone had already thoughtfully laid out various kinds of delicious food.

The rich aroma of wine wafted through the hall.

Although Lu Ming did not use the Xuanhuang Ancestor and others to help, he was very grateful for their assistance. This sentiment was very rare and precious in the entire Immortal Realm.

After both parties took their seats.

The Ancestor Xuanhuang picked up his wine cup and said with a smile, "Emperor Yu, what are your plans next?"

By this time, the strength of the Great Yu Dynasty was already evident to all.

If he could capture just two more states, he would control a total of five states.

The only remaining opponents are Yang Xian and the Fighting Saint Emperor of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Sect.

These two are the strongest.

However, after seeing Lu Ming's Star Array, he didn't believe that the opponent had any fighting power.

If the sage doesn't intervene, it's a foregone conclusion that the Great Yu will occupy the Nine Provinces.

As expected, after Lu Ming clinked glasses with the Xuanhuang Ancestor, he smiled and said, "Naturally, I want to unify the Nine Provinces. The people of this world have suffered too much. My goal is to ensure that everyone has food to eat and that they will no longer be bullied!"

"It seems that the Nine Provinces are now in your hands, but things are about to get even more dangerous. Your disciples can't hurt you, but the Sages will probably have to intervene personally in the future," said Ancestor Xuanhuang with some worry.

Even with his great courage, he still showed great apprehension when it came to the sage.

There are only nine in the world.

Those were nine people who dominated the world, but now Lu Ming has offended eight of them.

The road ahead will inevitably be fraught with difficulties.

"Let's take it one step at a time. In any case, the Great Yu will never submit!" Lu Ming said calmly.

A glint of fighting spirit flashed in his eyes.

Ancestor Xuanhuang nodded, and at the same time, he admired Lu Ming even more.

To speak so casually of opposing a sage—this person before me is probably the first.

When I thought of this...

He slowly said, "No matter what, my Xuanhuang Sect and the Great Yu share weal and woe. If anything happens in the future, Emperor Yu, please do not be polite."

“Of course!” Lu Ming said with a smile.

After the meal, the Xuanhuang Ancestor left.

Now that the matter has been resolved, there's no point in lingering here.

We still need Lu Ming to entertain us.

He naturally didn't want to stay any longer.

After the return of the Xuanhuang Ancestor.

Lu Ming also began to get busy, even though the fighting on the battlefield continued.

After all, the opposing side also has experts, and their numbers are huge. Even in the midst of a rout, their occasional counterattacks will be extremely fierce.

This battle will likely take at least a year and a half to end.

Because they knew that falling into the hands of the Great Yu meant death.

Therefore, when being chased, they will fight back desperately.

However, Qin Feng and his team's progress was very smooth.

The densely packed army, like locusts, slaughtered those ahead.

The two battles drew almost all the troops from the two states, so the Great Yu army was on the move almost every day. Once they reached a city, that city was under their control.

The soldiers of Dayu weren't too busy, but the officials of the Ministry of Revenue were truly overwhelmed.

They needed to count the population, distribute land, set up formations in the city, and so on—the list of tasks was endless.

However, watching the Great Yu territory expand time and again, these people felt a bittersweet joy. Of the nine provinces, His Majesty had now acquired five.

With just a little more effort, once the Great Yu Dynasty unifies the nine provinces, it will no longer have to depend on others.

According to His Majesty's words, at that time, even the Sage would have nothing to fear.

We people of Dayu can hold our heads high wherever we go.

In the blink of an eye, three years have passed.

During this period, the Great Yu completely controlled the five states.

The golden dragon of fortune within the capital city has become even more solid, and the golden fortune it exhales every day casts a faint golden hue over the clouds of the Great Yu land.

Apart from a few powerful individuals, ordinary evil spirits and heretics who enter will be instantly annihilated by Jin Yunzhen.

It almost became a forbidden zone for demons.

Even better news is that the generals of the Great Yu Dynasty, who were already in the process of breaking through, have finally reached the Quasi-Saint realm after three years of cultivation and enlightenment. Although they are only at the initial stage, their combat power is already quite remarkable.

As for the Blood Sea Ancestor, his Blood Sea Sect has become one of the most powerful sects in the Great Yu Dynasty. It has also produced Great Luo Realm cultivators and is developing quite well. Moreover, they are all known for their ruthlessness and are famous throughout the Nine Provinces.

Another noteworthy point is that a major sect within Yangzhou has also joined the Great Yu. The Tianyang Sect Master's strength is already at the Quasi-Saint Second Realm, and his "Blazing Sun Sword Technique" is terrifying.

His disciples were also quite formidable, including two Quasi-Saints and dozens of Great Luo Golden Immortals. Back when Jing Palace was in Yangzhou, they were all treated with great respect.

However, after the arrival of the Great Yu army, they immediately surrounded the entire Lieyang Sect.

The sect leader of the Blazing Sun Sect was also sensible. The moment the Dayu army entered the city, he felt his cultivation being suppressed. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately chose to surrender.

He became a disciple of the Da Yu clan.

He chose to submit and became one of the worshippers of the Great Yu.

The gains of the Great Yu in this battle can be described as enormous.

Nowadays, putting aside everything else, the number of quasi-saint level experts is no less than that of disciples of saints.

At the very least, if the other side were to send out more experts, the Great Yu could calmly deploy and deal with them.

Now, it has become a behemoth that no one dares to underestimate.

At this time, Lu Ming, after three years of fighting away from home, was finally ready to return.

Sitting in the carriage, a solemn expression appeared on his face.

Because he received news that Yang Xian and the Fighting Saint Emperor had both issued a challenge to him, demanding a one-on-one battle.

If Lu Ming wins, they will automatically relinquish the territory.

If the opponent is defeated, then expansion must cease.

According to his information, both of them have reached the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm, which is extremely powerful.

Moreover, their combat strength is the strongest among the disciples of the sage.

However, he accepted the challenge anyway.

Lu Ming hoped to gain control of four states without incurring any losses.

Then, he opened the data panel and checked the number of points again.

He hasn't checked it again in the past three years.

Let's see if there are any formations suitable for Yangzhou and Fengzhou.

At the same time, it's also good to exchange for a weapon. Although you may not need it right now, it's still nice to have a primordial spiritual treasure.

Who knows if the opponent will bring out a top-tier treasure during the fight?

The Fighting Saint Emperor was alright, as he followed the path of pure physical combat.

It's hard to say about Yang Xian. It is said that in ancient times, he obtained a powerful magical treasure.

It's best to take precautions against this early.

Now, the system store must have been upgraded.

There must be a treasure they want.
