Chapter 252 The Storm Rises
Eight Illuminations Realm!
It shines in all directions and is shaped like a compass.

It doesn't look like a mirror, but it can reflect the monsters or enemies hidden around.

This is an intermediate auxiliary artifact, and the most important thing is that it comes from the natives of the Sakura tribe above the East China Sea.

After Qi Pinghai broke into the lair of another general of the Sakura clan, he found this artifact deep in the lair. He was also shocked and quickly presented it as a tribute to Lu Changjing.

No one had expected that the Sakura clan had such a treasure.

The Soul-Sensing Divine Liquid, the Dragon Blood Tree... plus this Eight Illuminations Realm, Lu Changjing has already obtained three divine objects from the natives of the Sakura Tribe, and each one is more valuable than the last.

How did these bastards manage to hide so many good things, and they are all unexpected.

After reading some ancient books and asking around, Lu Changjing was surprised to learn that the Bazhao Realm was once a treasure belonging to the Ning royal family, but it had been lost thousands of years ago.

I didn't expect it to be stolen by the natives of the Stinky Tribe. Now it has been returned to its original owner.

It seems that these forces that have been able to be passed down for so many years all have something worthwhile, even the natives of the Stinky Tribe.

In order to express his gratitude to them, Lu Changjing asked Qi Pinghai to continue to sweep the natives of the Stinky Tribe. Wherever he passed, he must dig deep into the ground and search for all the good things. Maybe there would be good things like the Soul-Sensing Divine Liquid, the Dragon Blood Tree and the Eight Illuminations.

However, compared to the natives of the Sakura tribe, the Universe Dynasty seems to like stealing things more. I will find an opportunity to search the Universe Dynasty later to see if they have any good things.

Thinking of the Universal Dynasty, Lu Changjing suddenly felt that he seemed to have forgotten something. Thinking about it carefully, he suddenly realized that he had ignored Princess Wen Ding, who appeared once in 30,000 years in the Universal Dynasty, for a long time.

How long has it been? Almost two years.

It really wasn't intentional. Maybe at the beginning, Lu Changjing ignored her deliberately because he couldn't stand what the Universal Dynasty did.

He had not originally planned to leave it alone for long, but so many things happened later that he inexplicably forgot about the matter, and no one reminded him, so he thought that the Emperor had done it on purpose.

So much time had passed unknowingly, and if Lu Changjing hadn't thought of the Universal Dynasty, he would have continued to forget it.

Although he is not so interested in the so-called stunning beauty that only appears once in thirty thousand years, after all, even the one that appears once in a hundred thousand years is only at the level of the top prostitute in a brothel, or even worse than the top prostitute in a brothel, so how much better can the one that appears once in thirty thousand years be?

But she is a princess of a country after all, so you should summon her when you have time. I'm busy now, so let's put it aside for now.

After being exposed for such a long time, the Huanyu Dynasty no longer had any more nonsense to say and no longer kept bragging about how their Princess Wen Ding was the most beautiful woman in the harem and the favorite concubine.

It's been almost two years and she hasn't even entered the palace once. What's the point of talking about a favorite concubine? Which concubine is so pampered?

This move also made the Huanyu Dynasty shut up. They no longer shouted that Princess Wen Ding had fallen in love with Emperor Daning. They even sent more tribute girls to see if any of them could enter the palace, so as to gain some glory for themselves.

Without thinking any more, Lu Changjing refined the Eight Illuminations Realm and tried out its power.

With his current strength, he could easily reveal the hidden demons and monsters within a radius of hundreds of meters, and the effect was quite good. He could also reveal some human warriors who were hiding their auras. However, facing Lu Changjing's ability to hide his form and disappear, the Eight Illumination Realm had no way to deal with it.

Not to mention the Eight Illuminations Realm, even a mysterious weapon would not be able to reveal Lu Changjing's trace.

With the help of the Eight Illuminations, Lu Changjing easily caught several demons and monsters hiding in Baiyujing. One of them could not even be sensed by his spiritual power, which shows how strong its hiding ability is.

However, in front of the Eight Illuminating Realms, he was easily found.

With this magical weapon, Lu Changjing's shortcoming in this area was made up. With the improvement of his cultivation level, even higher-level gods and demons would not be able to escape the detection of the Eight Illuminations Realm.

When it is no longer of much use, you can sell it and exchange it for the necessary resources and treasures, so it will never be wasted.

After putting away the Eight Illuminations, Lu Changjing continued his practice.

The Sakura tribe has now been reduced to only a small part of its territory, and the rest of the territory has been taken over by the Pinghai Navy. A large number of tribesmen have been captured and sold to different areas, bringing huge wealth to Daning.

Many people in Daning have begun to move to the islands on the East China Sea, preparing to turn these places into Daning's territory. At the same time, the trade rights in the western part of the East China Sea are also completely in the hands of Daning.

Some maritime trade has already begun, and even if it is only in its infancy, the resources and wealth it brings exceed the tax revenue of several prefectures in the East China Sea.

As expected, maritime trade is the most profitable. No wonder the Jade Eagle Dynasty has always attempted to seize the trading rights of the entire East China Sea.

If there is a chance in the future, I will take away the Jade Eagle Dynasty’s maritime trade rights. But I don’t have the time and energy for that now, so let’s just let them go for now.

The East China Sea trade is progressing smoothly, the Ningshan trade is becoming more and more prosperous, and even the Ninghei trade which has just started is booming.

Daning and the Heili Dynasty have begun to send grassroots officials to each other's territories to study, and a storm against Daning is quietly forming.

The Shanman tribe and the Heili Dynasty sent news one after another, saying that they had received warnings from the Chiyan Dynasty and asked why they wanted to be friendly with the Daning Dynasty. This move has caused dissatisfaction among the Lieyang Divine Dynasty's envoy Ju Ye. If they continue to be stubborn, they may face a catastrophic disaster.

The Chiyan Dynasty is a much more powerful force than the Shanman Tribe and the Heili Dynasty. Its territory covers more than 200 million square kilometers, which is much larger than Daning and its power far exceeds that of Daning.

The chief envoy of the Lieyang Divine Dynasty stationed in the nearby countries, Envoy Ju Ye, lived in the Embassy of the Red Flame Dynasty. In order to please this Envoy from the Lieyang Divine Dynasty, the scale of the Embassy built by the Red Flame Dynasty even exceeded that of the Imperial Palace.

The Fiery Sun Divine Dynasty likes to station envoys of different levels in many vassal states or in the sphere of its influence. These envoys are different from the envoys in previous lives and have a variety of tasks.

Spying for intelligence, subverting the political situation, plundering resources and treasures...even directly occupying other countries. The power they have and the arrogance they engage in are far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Even the Lieyang envoys who were sent to other divine dynasties and their vassal states were not very honest and often caused trouble.

They dare to be so rampant even in the Divine Dynasty, let alone among the many dynasties and imperial dynasties. Moreover, many countries in this area are openly within the radiation range of the Lieyang Divine Dynasty, so their actions are even more rampant and unscrupulous.
