If I could win steadily, who would want to play with heart-pounding risks?
In Chen Qing’s view, Ji Dang didn’t seem like a blindly arrogant person.
Even a lion uses all its strength to catch a rabbit.
Even though Ji Dang currently held an advantage, he continued to raise the stakes, applying pressure on the entire Li Bingwei.
The art of war states, the supreme strategy is to conquer without fighting.
Compared to Ji Dang’s lone entry into the West Desert, battling numerous Mystic Gate Realm cultivators and sweeping through the talents of various Demon Clans,
Chen Qing’s unification of Nanli’s Foundation Establishment seemed much less intimidating.
Now, Li Chonghuan had openly stated he would participate, and he was already preparing to break through to the Ghost Face Realm, to enter the Death Realm in advance.
This put pressure on the entire Foundation Establishment of Nanli.
Nanli had experienced massive wars among Foundation Establishments, and in their view, Chen Qing could cause such destruction on the battlefield even without the King Gu.
Then, what kind of overwhelming role would someone like Li Chonghuan, who had the King Gu, play in a war?
Who knew what Wushang was truly like?
Whether there really was a King Gu in the Linglong Divine Palace.
Of course, Chen Qing didn’t place all his hopes solely on Wushang.
He had more people with King’s Aura under his command than just Wushang alone.
Fu Luo, Red Lotus, Yao Feng would all be candidates.
His Lifebound Light Butterfly was also on the verge of promotion.
However, the matters of the heart still needed to be addressed.
Chen Qing pondered for a moment and said, “Have Wei Qingchen spread the word.”
“Li Chonghuan is just a defeated general, no need to panic.”
Ying Wugang gave Chen Qing a serious look, “Did Lord Wei once defeat Li Chonghuan?”
Chen Qing laughed heartily, “A trivial matter, not worth mentioning!”
Ying Wugang quickly went to deliver the message, and as Wei Qingchen spread the word, the situation in Nanli finally calmed down for a moment.
However, the ripples caused by Li Chonghuan’s entry into the fray still hadn’t subsided.
In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed, and Chen Qing swallowed a spear ghost, absorbing its spear skills memories, while walking outside the White Bone Buddha Temple.
“Is it not over yet?”
This round of chess had been going on for quite some time.
Not far away, the Biyou Dragon Girl seemed quite confident.
Sitting in her dragon boat, waiting quietly, never seen leaving the dragon boat.
She never made her presence known, as if afraid Chen Qing might go back on his word and kill her.
After all, the Biyou Dragon Girl was a member of the Dragon Palace; although she was inherently arrogant, she still maintained due respect when facing the master of Nanli’s Foundation Establishment like Chen Qing.
In fact, Chen Qing didn’t place much importance on these two monks.
Acting as if, as long as they emerged, the world would be at peace.
Yet their true abilities had never been heard of.
It was merely out of respect for the Buddhism in the West Desert.
Chen Qing’s personality was quite peculiar.
Disdainful to the high, yet compassionate to the low.
The more pretentious one was, the less Chen Qing had regard for them.
Instead, people like Yan Shiyin, who rose from the ranks, he valued a lot, although their stances differed.
This had some relation to his own background.
After another three days, Ying Wugang suddenly came to report, “Report, Lord Wei, a Foundation Establishment from the Water Country has privately broken through to the Ghost Face Realm, intending to open the Ghost Gate and enter the Death Realm in advance.”
“They have been executed by General Shi.”
“However, their tribe is a major clan in the Water Country, Shi Xintie is asking Lord Wei, what should be done?”
Chen Qing narrowed his eyes, “Say that again?”
Ying Wugang gritted his teeth, “General Shi inquires, what should be done?”
Chen Qing was not angered that someone in the Water Country had secretly broken through the Foundation Establishment but rather that Shi Xintie actually came to ask!
The Water Country had been forcibly subdued by him, he could understand if their hearts didn’t belong to him.
But should there even be a question?
Eradicate their tribe!
If it weren’t for Li Chonghuan indicating his intention to enter the fray, Shi Xintie probably wouldn’t have asked like this.
Even Shi Xintie felt he might not last long.
Chen Qing tersely commanded, “Let him decide for himself!”
“Let him think it through carefully!”
After speaking, Chen Qing was somewhat agitated.
In the end, Nanli was a loose coalition, its cohesion nothing compared to Da Yan’s grand unified Immortal Dynasty.
How could such a thing happen under Ji Dang’s command!
A month later, news came that Shi Xintie had led a crowd to annihilate the criminal tribe, killing until heads rolled, and corpses formed mountains, in a battle that exterminated thousands of tribe members, staining the sea with blood.
Hearing this news, Chen Qing felt he could barely quell his anger.
That day, Chen Qing was too lazy to keep waiting; in his view, mere monks were not critical.
Once Chen Qing contracted the Sumeru Gu, he quickly began nurturing it.
The current Sumeru Gu was still not enough for him to revert to normal size after performing Fatian Xiangdi.
It was still a giant three zhang tall.
This was understandable, as the current Sumeru Gu was merely at the First Transformation stage.
Fortunately, he could follow the Promotion Map left by Cheng Tianyou to transport all materials needed for promotion to Harmonization at once.
There would be no need to seek them post-promotion.
This way, he could save a lot of time; in at most half a year, he could elevate the Sumeru Gu to Harmonization.
After having Zuo Chuan send out a letter for Jiuhe City to deliver the materials, just as Chen Qing was about to seek another spear ghost, he saw the little monk Wang Yuan walking towards him.
“From Lord Wei’s expression, it seems that you don’t value Wang Yuan much?”
Chen Qing didn’t hide it, “Compared to your support to me, I value the Buddhism in the West Desert’s attitude more.”
Wang Yuan said, “Senior Brother has already gone with the Biyou Dragon Girl to Da Yan.”
“Since Lord Wei doesn’t value the little monk, the little monk naturally needs to reveal some skills.”
Wang Yuan reached into his sleeve and took out a jade bottle.
“This Gu is called Enlightenment.”
“It’s a specialty of our Buddhism in the West Desert.”
“It’s one of the most unique spirit Gu.”
“Any Gu, just in front of the Enlightenment Gu, can have its effect seen through at a glance.”
Only then did Chen Qing show a slight interest, but after looking again at the jade bottle, he lost interest in contracting it.
It could only see the effects and utility of the opponent’s Gu, completely incapable of penetrating the complete secret of a Gu as he could.
Its utility completely paled compared to his own uniqueness.

Chen Qing found it had no great significance for him.
Meanwhile, it could be given to Xuanping or Wushang.
Just then, Zuo Chuan hurriedly stepped forward to report, “Report, Lord Wei, Master Wushang has blocked the Biyou Dragon Girl’s dragon boat, insisting she sends a message to challenge Li Chonghuan for a battle at the Da Yan and Ye Country border!”
Hearing this news, Chen Qing finally revealed a hint of delight.
“Wushang came out?”
“Hahaha, my second brother personally acting will surely put Li Chonghuan in his place!”
Chen Qing reached out, grabbing the jade bottle from Wang Yuan’s hand and tossing it to Zuo Chuan, “Take it, give this Gu to Wushang!”
“Summon the Three Kingdoms troops near the Ye Country, have the three Generals Wei lead the army to cheer him on!”
If it weren’t for Wushang’s initiative to challenge Li Chonghuan, Chen Qing would actually be quite hesitant about this matter.
Wushang was one of his hidden cards; revealing it now would alert the opponent.
Yet not long after Li Chonghuan’s news came, a Foundation Establishment aimed to break through to the Ghost Face Realm, clearly signaling instability.
Now, with Wushang proactively asking, Chen Qing naturally had to support it.
Saying this, Chen Qing was still somewhat uneasy.
“Anyway, they aren’t far from here, let’s go, I want to meet my second brother.”
Chen Qing turned and said, “Master Wang Yuan, would you be interested in joining us?”
Regarding Chen Qing directly taking the Enlightenment Gu, an extremely rare spirit Gu, and casually gifting it,
Wang Yuan showed no sign of anger, indicating excellent Qi cultivation skills.
“Lord Wei’s invitation, naturally the little monk wants to meet him.”
“Daring to challenge Li Chonghuan, the world’s only Foundation Establishment owner of the King Gu, the little monk wants to see what kind of demeanor that is.”
Three days later, Chen Qing caught up with Wushang, who was preparing to head to Ye Country.
Meeting his brother brought great joy to Chen Qing.
Wushang, now only fifteen years old, had grown much more robust.
He only lacked facial hair, appearing somewhat youthful.
Chen Qing strode over, and the two brothers embraced like bears.
Chen Qing placed his hand on Wushang’s shoulder, “You’ve bulked up quite a bit, almost taller than me!”
“You’ve been staying in the Linglong Divine Palace, keeping me quite worried!”
Wushang smiled; seeing Chen Qing again filled him with great joy,
“Brother, you’ve achieved truly great things!”
Ever since Wushang accepted the heritage in the Linglong Divine Palace, he had been honing his resolve, ready to break through the four corners of the world.
Yet upon stepping out, he realized Chen Qing was already the Lord of Nanli’s Foundation Establishment.
Looking around, there was not a single enemy to be found.
Leaving him quite despondent.
Just recently, hearing that Li Chonghuan planned to enter the Death Realm personally, he finally found a target.
What’s this talk about the world’s only King Gu-owning Foundation Establishment? Isn’t his Wushang one of them?
Chen Qing asked, “Second brother, how confident are you in fighting Li Chonghuan?”
Wushang replied, “I dare not say victory is certain, but I am sure I won’t be defeated!”
Chen Qing declared, “That’s sufficient!”
“Li Chonghuan is a man with profound thoughts; in this challenge, he might not use his true tactics.”
“A draw is fine, as long as it shows the world they’re not the only ones with Foundation Establishment owning King Gu in Da Yan.”
On the side, the little monk Wang Yuan was extremely astonished; it seemed their Buddhism in the West Desert had underestimated this Lord of Nanli.
He actually had a brother who owned a King Gu!
A King Gu was not like cabbage, not something you just have whenever you say so.
Chen Qing didn’t ask to see Wushang’s King Gu; Wushang had received the heritage, presumably possessing a Promotion Map, with no need for his guidance.
“Have you arranged the journey to Ye Country?”
Wushang suddenly became a bit shy, “Sisi has personally gone to make arrangements; there should be no mistakes.”
Chen Qing laughed heartily, “It’s good to let Sisi manage you a bit; otherwise, at your age, holding the King Gu, with your mentality not yet mature, you’re bound to stir trouble sooner or later!”
No woman in the family was easy to handle.
Chen Qing knew this better than anyone.
Because they were around, Chen Qing felt secure enough to patrol Nanli.
“Since Sisi has already gone to set things up, surely there won’t be any mistake; just follow her plan.”
Wushang confidently said, “It’s time to let those somewhat unimpressed Generals Wei see the depth of our Xuan Bird Tribe.”
Remembering Wushang’s special constitution, Chen Qing advised, “No matter what, don’t let yourself get hurt!”
Wushang assured, “Brother, rest assured, I’m beyond that concern now!”
With these words, Chen Qing finally felt relieved, “Very well, this journey shall definitely bolster our Nanli’s prestige, discouraging the petty and malevolent from making moves.”
After spending three days with Wushang, Chen Qing let him go to prepare.
As for himself, Chen Qing, accompanied by the little monk Wang Yuan, returned under the dark clouds once more.
It was time to devour the spear Dao Grandmaster’s obsession to elevate his Martial Arts another step.
