The Lingyu Continent is a continent full of aura, for thousands of years, it has given birth to countless strong people, created countless myths, and the aura on the continent has never been exhausted.

This is a continent where the strong are respected, and people are constantly improving their cultivation by absorbing the aura of heaven and earth, and everyone is cultivating day and night for the goal in their hearts.

There are a total of nine stages of cultivation, from low to high, which are the refining period, the spirit gathering period, the god control period, the enlightenment period, the sky control period, the tribulation period, the mountain and sea period, the Shen Yun period and the heaven-breaking period, each stage is divided into nine stages, the first three orders are the early stage, the middle three orders are the middle stage, and the last three orders are the late stage. One step further forward is every cultivator's dream - Ascend to the Divine Realm.

The path to cultivation is full of opportunities and challenges, and it is also full of blood and killing.

Every day, there are people who have adventures and soar into the sky, and every day there are people who fall on the way to cultivation and cannot afford to sleep for a long time.

In this real world, the ugliness of human nature is particularly prominent, everyone has an unknown darkness in their hearts, and only a very small number of people have imperishable justice in their hearts.

On the Lingyu Road, there are four powerful empires, each of which occupies one side of the continent, dividing the Lingyu Continent into four parts, and the national strength of the four countries is almost the same.

These four empires are the Spirit Feather Empire that occupies the upper left corner of the continental territory, the Canglong Empire which occupies the upper right corner of the continental territory, the Donglin Empire which occupies the lower right corner of the continental territory, and the Burning Sun Empire which occupies the lower left corner of the continental territory.

Since the founding of the four empires, there has been no cessation of small frictions between neighbors, and the outbreak of small-scale wars has never stopped.

This is also the acquiescence of the imperial families, after all, although the relationship between the four countries is not very good, but it also maintains a balance, it is almost impossible to break out a large-scale war, and various countries also have relatively peaceful national conditions, so that the imperial army may be in a state of laziness, which is not what the rulers of the empire want to see, so all countries need a little war to maintain the combat effectiveness and psychological state of the army.

It is precisely because of this that the four empires are in a state of competition with each other but maintaining a relative balance.

Of the four empires, the Winterfall Empire is the most mysterious and has always been at the top of the Four Kingdoms rankings.

The other three empires have never been too presumptuous towards the Winter Advent Empire, although the surface strength of the countries is almost the same now, but the number of powerhouses who have ascended to the God Realm in the history of the Winter Advent Empire is the sum of the other three empires, which also makes the other three empires extremely jealous of the Winter Advent Empire.

Although those powerhouses will not be able to return to the Spirit Feather Continent after ascending to the God Realm, who knows if they will leave any means to reach the heavens in the Winter Rim Empire before they ascend.

The capital of the Winter Empire is located in the center of the empire's territory and is known as the first city in the world.

The Donglin Empire is the strongest empire, and as its national capital, the prosperity of Donglin City is naturally self-evident, and there is no city in the entire Lingyu Continent that can compare with it.

In the Winter Landing City, in addition to the royal family of the Winter Landing Empire, there are hundreds of families, all of which are powerful nobles of the empire, and there are also many powerful nobles, and these nobles are somewhat related to the royal family.

The power of these families is not only scattered in the Winter Landing City, but also has their own clans in the counties under the command of the Empire, and these clans have absolute real power in each county.

Among these families, the most powerful are the Situ family and the Bai family, one of these two leads the imperial political circles, and the other leads the imperial military circles, and they are absolute real power families, most of the families in Winter Landing City are divided into two factions, following the Situ family and the Bai family respectively, and only a few families can maintain neutrality with their strong strength.

And the reason why the Situ family and the Bai family have such a status is because the patriarchs of the Situ family and the Bai family are the prime minister of the Donglin Empire and the general of the Zhenguo respectively.

The competition between the two factions is very fierce, and although there will be no extermination due to the existence of the royal family, it is inevitable that they will suppress each other.

Above the court, the monarch of the Donglin Empire, the White Emperor, is discussing with the ministers of the empire about the Burning Sun Empire's invasion of the frontier.

The Sun Empire is a very belligerent empire, and the Spirit Feather Empire and the Winter Advent Empire, which are its neighbors, are the most experienced.

The Sun Empire will take the initiative to launch at least four medium-sized wars every year, and the other three empires will also take the initiative to launch one or two medium-sized wars every year, as for large-scale wars, generally only if there is an irreconcilable contradiction between the two countries, and even if it happens, it will stop at the point, and it will not let it evolve into a melee in the entire Lingyu Continent.

As for the Sun Empire, there is a reason why it is so belligerent and does not cause the rest of the empires to besiege it.

The territory to which the Sun Empire belongs is also like its name, with high temperatures all year round, it is difficult for ordinary crops to grow on this land, only a very small number of drought-tolerant crops can be planted and grown, and there are some areas where the temperature is extremely high, so it is impossible to grow crops at all, so the Sun Empire can not harvest a lot of grain every year, which causes the Sun Empire to have to wage war and plunder food.

At least half of the Sun Empire's annual grain is fought for by war.

And three-quarters of the food taken from them came from the Spirit Feather Empire, because the Spirit Feather Empire was very rich, and they didn't care about the food taken away by the Sun Empire.

It is not so much the grain that the Burning Sun Empire fought for through the war between the two empires of Donglin and Lingyu, but rather the food that Donglin and Lingyu supported the Lieyang Empire.

After all, if Donglin and Lingyu really wanted to protect the grain from being taken away, they could transport the grain away from the frontier, so it would be impossible for the Burning Sun Empire to go deep into the two countries and plunder.

This is also a tacit understanding between the three kingdoms, if the Burning Sun Empire is really hungry all the year round, then it will definitely lead to the Burning Sun Empire desperately launching a large-scale war.

This time, the Burning Sun Empire came to attack the Winter Facing Empire, and judging from the front-line troops, it was obviously the scale of a medium-sized war, because the drought in the Burning Sun Empire was particularly severe this year, and the harvest was less than half of that of previous years.

In fact, the environment of the Winter Empire is not good, it is cold all year round, but although the environment is harsh, there are food crops suitable for planting, while the Sun Empire has almost no food crops suitable for planting.

The focus of this discussion was to arrange the amount of grain "plundered" in the frontier.

Prime Minister Situ Yu spoke first: "Emperor, I think the grain arranged here can be twice as much as in previous years, the drought in the Lieyang Empire this year seems to be more serious than in previous years, which can also reduce some losses of the elite troops of the empire, after all, it is enough to maintain combat strength through war, and there is no need to cause too many human losses." ”

Zhenguo General Bai Qitian's eyes sank when he heard Situ Yu's words, and he looked at him.

"Then listening to Prime Minister Situ's meaning, are we still afraid of the Burning Sun Empire in the Winter Empire? It is the emperor's mercy to give them food, even if they don't give it to them, what can they do? ”

Seeing the situation in front of them, the rest of the officials present chose to remain silent, and when these two spoke, I am afraid that only Emperor Bai Zhi would dare to interject.

Situ Yu didn't get angry when he heard this, but looked indifferent, after all, the two had not been in political discord for a day or two, and if the other party didn't refute it, there would be a problem.

Bai Qitian has a strong personality and never likes to make concessions, as long as it is a battle he personally commands, he will easily win with a crushing attitude, and his name is also terrifying to the other three kingdoms, and the only ones who can make him suffer are Situ Yu and Bai Zhi Emperor.

Situ Yu opened his mouth and said: "Hehe, General Bai's words are suspected of provoking a war between the two countries, is General Bai looking forward to the outbreak of a large-scale war?" ”

"Hahaha! As long as the Burning Sun Empire has the courage to provoke a large-scale war, I, Bai Qitian, promise to let the Burning Sun Empire know how to write dead characters! Bai Qitian said proudly.

The rest of the ministers in the court were also divided into two parties, supporting Situ Yu and Bai Qitian respectively.

Emperor Bai Zhi was also quite a headache when he saw the argument between the two, these two people are rare talents in the empire, if the two work together, the Donglin Empire will inevitably be stronger, but the two have political discord, and when they meet, there are all kinds of arguments, he shook his head, waved his hand, and interrupted the argument between the two.

"Okay, you two don't fight, just do what the prime minister said, double the amount of grain compared to previous years, do you still have any questions?"

Emperor Bai Zhi swept his gaze from Situ Yu and Bai Qitian, and the majesty of the emperor was fully revealed.

Bai Qitian didn't refute it again, after all, he was still very attentive to Bai Zhi's words.

"Since there are no other problems, let's retreat." Emperor Bai Zhi made a final decision and ended the discussion.

Bai Qitian moved his gaze to Situ Yu, who noticed his gaze and turned his head to smile indifferently at him.

Bai Qitian snorted coldly, turned around and left the palace, it was obvious that he had lost this battle.
