If you die, I will be able to inherit your cultivation.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had completely recovered the Lingxu World.

Su Mingyue acted swiftly and decisively, beginning to transfer the military and political power of the Ming Dynasty to the Lingxu World.

Although the laws of the Qiankun Pearl world are clear, it greatly helps the cultivation of low- and mid-level cultivators.

However, for cultivators in the Mahayana stage, the clarity of the laws is no longer the key factor determining the speed of cultivation.

What Mahayana cultivators need most now is to hone their skills and integrate the immortal energy within their bodies with their own laws.

No matter how clear the rules are, the process of grinding water can't be sped up.

That's why Su Mingyue didn't hesitate to shift her focus to the Spirit Void World.

On the other hand, Su Mingyue was also unwilling to expose the true face of the Qiankun Pearl world to the various races.

Such a treasure land, where people can quickly break through their cultivation levels, would instantly make the Ming Dynasty a target of everyone's hatred once the Federation's various races learned of it.

No race can resist such temptation.

To reduce the risk of exposure, Su Mingyue not only moved the main military and political forces to the Lingxu World, but also strictly controlled the personnel entering the Qiankun Pearl World from the Lingxu World.

Her thinking was straightforward: as long as the various races hadn't witnessed the wonders of this world firsthand, even if they heard rumors, they wouldn't go too crazy.

After a large number of people from the Ming Dynasty moved here, the Lingxu World, which had been desolate due to war, experienced another surge in population.

Empty cities have regained their vitality, abandoned spiritual fields have been reclaimed, and the streets are bustling with merchants and cultivators once again.

The spiritual world is recovering its vitality at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As early as when Zhou Ming proposed to "come to their door to demand their return," Su Mingyue had already issued a notice to all the races of the Federation.

According to Zhou Ming, the wording of the announcement was quite strong.

Each race was given a three-month deadline, requiring all races that imprisoned and enslaved humans to send their people to the Spirit Void World.

However, after the announcement was issued, it seemed to have sunk without a trace, and there was no response whatsoever.

A month has passed, and the various ethnic groups are still going their own way, without even giving a formal reply.

This situation was both reasonable and unexpected for Zhou Ming.

This makes sense, because the rulers of those races are all top figures in their respective worlds.

They're used to being high and mighty; how could they possibly back down just because of a single announcement?

To Zhou Ming's surprise, it had only been a short time since the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan and the Thunder Fang Tiger Clan were wiped out.

These guys have forgotten so quickly?

The lessons learned from the past seem utterly insignificant to them.

Since that's the case, then we can't blame him.

Zhou Ming was sitting on the back of the giant panda Kuang Tie, leisurely flying towards the space gate.

Upon learning of Zhou Ming's return, Kuang Tie abandoned his ghost hunting and rushed back from the Netherworld in a great hurry.

Upon seeing Zhou Ming, she immediately rushed over, lamenting her longing for him over the past two hundred years and complaining that there were fewer and fewer ghosts in the Netherworld and that it was becoming increasingly difficult to obtain Soul Crystals.

Zhou Ming found its aggrieved look somewhat amusing, but he let it act silly.

Now, the man and the beast have left the Qiankun Pearl and arrived at the sea outside Sanhe Island.

On the sea, hundreds of huge warships are already lined up and waiting.

These warships were dark in color, their hulls covered with spiritual patterns, and faintly crackled with lightning.

These are the results of the Ming Dynasty's "learning" of federal technology over the past twenty years.

Although twenty years may not seem like a long time, Su Mingyue made a ruthless decision.

She poured all the technological data she obtained from the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan into the research and development of various technologies.

Today, each of these warships is capable of sailing across the world.

Although it still lags behind the Federation's top fleet, it is sufficient to handle the current situation.

Without wasting any words, Zhou Ming boarded one of the main ships.

He stood in the command center of the main ship and said only two words.

"Let's go."

Hundreds of warships simultaneously lit up with spiritual light, slowly changed direction, and headed towards the void beyond the boundary.

Zhou Ming's mission this time was simple: to make an example of someone and warn others.

The notice has been sent out for almost a month, and not a single human has been sent by any of the races, not even a single word.

If he doesn't do something soon, the Ming Dynasty and his Zhou Dynasty will become a laughing stock among these races.

So this time, Su Mingyue picked out a "chicken" with a generous portion for him.

The White Elephant Clan.

This race possesses extremely strong individual strength, naturally robust physical bodies, thick skin and flesh, immense strength, and a remarkable affinity with the rules of power.

Members of the clan are born with the cultivation level of the Nascent Soul stage, and most of them can reach the Integration stage after adulthood.

The entire White Elephant Clan includes not only the royal White Elephant, but also several vassal races such as the Silver Elephant, Stone Elephant, Spirit Elephant, Giant Rhinoceros, Heavy-hoofed Sheep, and Tooth Clan.

The combined strength of these races is considerable, ranking among the top in the entire Federation.

They occupy two places, Taiping Realm and Hanhai Great World, and their clan is full of experts and rich in resources.

Unlike some races, the White Elephant Clan does not treat humans as food.

However, the number of humans they imprisoned in both worlds was also considerable.

Crucially, this race once had friendly relations with humans.

When the Federation evacuated the human race from various worlds, it was precisely because of this relationship that it did not carry out a large-scale evacuation of the Vast Ocean World and the Peaceful Realm.

But who could have imagined that once the Federation was thrown into chaos, the White Elephant Clan would immediately change its stance?

Instead of maintaining friendly relations with the human race, they turned against them and became one of the important forces that restrained the human race.

Su Mingyue's choice of the White Elephant Clan was also quite reasonable.

Firstly, the White Elephant Clan has gone from being an ally to an adversary in the conflicts between humans and other races, posing a great threat to humans.

If we can hurt them badly, we can reduce the pressure on the human race.

Secondly, the Taiping Realm and the Hanhai Realm are the two worlds closest to the Lingxu World.

If the Ming Dynasty wanted to continue its expansion, it would inevitably have to confront the White Elephant Clan sooner or later.

Therefore, this battle is unavoidable.

The fleet took off and soon reached the outer void.

Without Zhou Ming giving the order, the various warships began to move towards the Vast Ocean Realm.

Zhou Ming sat calmly in the main ship.

This trip was not just about demanding people from the White Elephant Clan, but also about brandishing the sword of the Ming Dynasty at the entire Federation of All Races.

He wanted to make those deaf and dumb races see clearly that the announcement was not just a sentence on paper.

The three-month deadline is not something they can simply drag out.

The White Elephant Clan doesn't believe in superstitions, so let's use the White Elephant Clan to show the other clans of the Federation.

How sharp was the sword of the Ming Dynasty?

Although the Vast Ocean Realm is nominally not far from the Spirit Void World, that is only relatively speaking.

Even if you were to actually travel through the void, there would still be an extremely long distance to cover.

The Ming Dynasty's fleet moved constantly through the void, each time it tore through space, it would travel an extremely long distance forward.

Zhou Ming sat in the command cabin of the main ship, where text, images, and various data were constantly switching on the large combat screen in front of him.

Those were all intelligence reports sent back by the Nightingales of the Ming Dynasty and their spies who had infiltrated various circles, and all of them were related to the White Elephant Clan.

From the distribution of the White Elephant royal family's territories to the troop deployments of various vassal races.

From the defensive nodes of the Taiping Realm and the Hanhai Realm to the strength of the various ranks of the White Elephant Clan generals, everything was listed clearly.

It's clear that Su Mingyue put a lot of effort into gathering intelligence.

This thorough pre-battle preparation demonstrates that the Ming Dynasty's decision to launch this operation was not a spur-of-the-moment thing, but rather a long-planned strategy.

However, to be honest, this intelligence was of little significance to Zhou Ming.

All he needed to know was where the Vast Ocean Realm was and where the White Elephant Clan's territory was. That was enough.
