Chapter 12816
The Grand Commander of the Tianwu Army is an absolutely pivotal figure in the entire power structure of Tianjun, with a status no less than that of Cao Mang, the Executive Deputy Chief Administrator.
For Li Yu himself, it was a meteoric rise to power.
However, Li Yu showed no sign of joy. He simply agreed solemnly and then stood aside as usual.
It was as if this wasn't a promotion beyond the norm, but merely a task assigned to him by Lin Yi.
All he had to do was execute the orders without fail, nothing more.
Everyone admired him upon seeing this.
If it were someone else acting like this, they would inevitably criticize them for being pretentious, but because Li Yu did it, they felt it was perfectly natural.
Although they had only known each other for a short time, they could see right through Li Yu.
This is an extremely pure character.
One is one, and two is two; there are no complicated twists and turns.
This kind of person, let alone deliberately showing off, even if you openly teach him how to show off, he still won't understand.
But it is precisely because of this that everyone feels at ease.
Having experienced darkness like that of Shen Wudu and Xiahou Ren, only an extremely pure leader like Li Yu can be the best antidote to heal them.
At least one thing is certain: Li Yu will definitely not be the next Shen Wudu.
What they didn't know was that Li Yu was not the next Shen Wudu, but a perfectly enhanced version of Shen Wudu.
As the second commander of the Tianwu Army, he single-handedly elevated the Tianwu Army to an unprecedented level.
They will become one of only two names that cannot be bypassed in the long history of Tianjun.
That was a true peerless war god.
However, that's a story for another time.
Having settled matters concerning the Tianwu Army, Lin Yi was finally able to free himself up and return to Tianjun.
Although the Tianwu Army is newly established, its combat strength is no weaker than that of the Yumo Army. Lu Jianxiong and Li Yu are both extremely reliable figures.
In addition, the demonic forces have suffered heavy losses during this period, with nearly five hundred king-level demons alone lost!
Even if it can be continuously replenished, it is unlikely to pose a substantial threat in the short term.
By the time they returned, the Tianwu Army had already established a firm foothold.
Open the map of Tianjun.
As expected, the overall combat strength has once again seen a surge.
One thousand five hundred and eighty.
This is quite similar to Lin Yi's previous estimate.
Incorporating the Demon Extermination Army certainly warrants such a boost in combat power.
Even so, it's still far from the three thousand combat power that the old beggar mentioned.
"The Authority Council, the Ancient Clan's Tomb, the Shadow Gate..."
To reach the threshold, these hidden forces must all be subdued.
The biggest problem right now is that, let alone how to subdue them, we don't even know where they are.
The most difficult hurdle is the sealing of information.
If Xiao Guichen hadn't taken the initiative to step forward, Lin Yi wouldn't have even been able to find the Demon Extermination Army's base, let alone successfully subdue them.
Zhang Baiyu hasn't been idle; he's been trying to lift the lockdown during this time.
However, progress has been limited so far.
Lin Yi pondered for a moment, his gaze finally settling on the authority meeting.
He had absolutely no clue about the other two, whether it was the ancient clan tombs or the Shadow Gate, but he could vaguely guess some clues about this Authority Meeting.
The "permission meeting" is, as the name suggests, related to track permissions.
As it happens, Lin Yi himself is a track access holder.
Previously, there have been individuals like Ye Wumian who were associated with track access rights, and there are other related individuals currently in existence as well.
Hua Chengying
This was the first name that flashed through Lin Yi's mind.
Although the previous encounters were not true direct confrontations, they were enough to determine that the opponent had extremely high track privileges!
Therefore, the plan to target Hua Chengying had already begun long ago.
Planting the seeds of the world's will within it is the first step.
The key lies in what follows.
Lin Yi knew very well that Hua Chengying was not alone, and his alliance with Yuan Chu was not a conventional alliance, but a tentative alliance between the two forces.
Yuan Chu is backed by the Beast God Academy, while Hua Chengying is backed by the Authority Council, barring any unforeseen circumstances!
His greatest value to Lin Yi right now is finding out the location of the Authority.
However, Hua Chengying was clearly much more vigilant than expected.
So much time has passed, and apart from meeting with Yuan Chu, he has hardly had any contact with anyone.
The more this is the case, the more abnormal it is.
Lin Yi could conclude that this person was not without contact with the Authority Council, but rather that their method of contact was extremely secretive, making it difficult even for the Seed of World Will to detect.
Back to the New Heavenly Palace.
Just as Lin Yi was about to discuss the follow-up with Zhang Baiyu, the latter approached him, cupped his hands, and said, "Sir, something has happened."
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks: "Speak."
"Cao Luoshen is currently engaged in a public track duel with a person named Ling Renwang."
Zhang Baiyu paused, then added, "It's a competition of poetry."
Lin Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise: "Cao Luoshen has mastered poetry; isn't that guy just asking for trouble?"
Zhang Baiyu's expression was somewhat subtle: "It's hard to say."
Lin Yi was surprised: "Could there be another variable?"
Putting aside everything else, just in terms of poetry alone, Cao Luoshen was in a league of her own in Tianjun, and no one could even come close to her.
It was only by acquiring the poems of those top masters in the secular world that he was able to stand out from the crowd, and even Cao Luoshen herself admitted that she was inferior to him.
In Lin Yi's view, if we only consider the poetic skills themselves, Cao Luoshen at this stage may still be slightly lacking compared to those historical masters, but she is already good enough to compete with them.
Cao Luoshen's true strength lies in his ability to integrate poetry into his Taoist philosophy.
He single-handedly forged a completely new path, unprecedented in history. Once this path is successfully paved, its potential is immeasurable.
At that time, even the gods will be unable to compare.
Ultimately, the greatest power of the gods comes from the generosity of the creator god.
If Cao Luoshen were to forge an unprecedented path, it would be equivalent to discovering a completely new underlying rule for this world.
As the discoverer of the rules, even the creator god might not be able to easily control him, let alone the other gods.
Of course, Cao Luoshen is far from reaching that point yet.
The future is bright, but the road ahead is long and arduous.
There is always a possibility that it will be abandoned halfway through.
Even so, Lin Yi didn't believe that anyone in Tianjun could rival him or even surpass him in poetry.
The two arrived at the square.
Zhang Baiyu frowned slightly: "The atmosphere isn't right."
At this moment, the vast Xintiangong Square was bustling with people, yet completely silent.
The atmosphere was eerily quiet.
Tens of thousands of people were crammed together, yet not a single person spoke; only heavy breathing could be heard.
Upon seeing Lin Yi arrive, everyone was startled and then spontaneously bowed in unison.
As the ruler of Tianjun, he still holds considerable prestige in the region. Even though Lin Yi himself doesn't like to put on airs, his subjects remain extremely respectful.
