Chapter 1039: Abnormal Source Power, Final Arrangements
"Mm. From now on, you will be stationed here. Spend more time looking at battle reports from all over and get familiar with the situation at the Human-Demon front."
"In the future, when I'm not around, the Fourth Battle Zone will be secretly commanded by you."
After promoting the death warrior "White Tiger" to yuan ying, Liu Yu had arranged for him to stay at Five Elements Pass year-round.
After observing the pass for a period of time, he planned to secretly return to the sect to cultivate. Once his cultivation advanced to peak yuan ying and he adjusted his condition, he would be ready to attempt the divine transformation bottleneck at any time.
As for the daily command of the battle zone, that would all be left to White Tiger.
This concerned his own matter of divine transformation, and the specific information could not be disclosed to anyone. Only by using a death warrior could he feel at ease.
Having followed him for many years, this was not White Tiger's first time doing something like this, so he was quite used to it.
Liu Yu's aura, tone, habits, and so on, he could imitate them perfectly. At the very least, to outsiders, it would be difficult to tell the real from the fake.
As long as he did not meet a true lord in person, there was basically no need to worry about outsiders seeing through him.
After several rounds of deduction by the Immortal Abode, the "glazed heart confusion technique" had become extremely profound.
The current death warriors had flaws in their heart of dao, but in terms of mentality they were no different from ordinary people. They were not the idiots one might imagine.
As for the situation in the battle zones, all sides naturally had their own golden core cultivators sending reports through sound transmission talismans or by special messengers.
As for how to command, there was also a group of advisers under him offering ideas and strategies. White Tiger only needed to make the final decision, so he was perfectly capable of handling the job.
With the token Liu Yu left behind, not only could all the Golden Core Elders of Yuan Yang Sect be mobilized, but even the death warrior squads under "Shadow of the Sun" could be dispatched at will.
By then, orders would continue to be issued from Five Elements Pass as usual, and the movements of cultivators from all sides would remain orderly. It would be enough to keep outsiders from figuring out the truth for decades.
Tap, tap.
After giving White Tiger a few instructions, Liu Yu stood in place and thought for a few breaths. Then he took out a sound transmission talisman, moved his lips, and infused it with magical power to activate it.
The talisman's spiritual light was restrained, and the fluctuation of spiritual energy was also extremely faint. After leaving the residence, it flew out of Five Elements Pass.
Its direction was north, toward the front line.
After doing all this, Liu Yu did not think further. He strode directly toward the training room.
Creak.
Pop, meow.
Along with the barely audible sound of the wooden door opening and the spiritual energy fluctuations from the formation operating, his figure quickly disappeared.
The huge residence fell silent once more.
Formation patterns lit up one after another, and waves of rich spiritual energy converged, surging toward the center of the room.
In the middle of the training room was a delicate meditation cushion, and a sturdy figure sat cross-legged upon it.
"With the death of 'Unmelting Ice,' his original source should have returned to heaven and earth, yet for some reason two portions of source power remained."
"Was it a gift left for later generations, or did it hide some kind of trap and curse?"
"The Radiant Night Cave Heaven trip was accompanied by all kinds of dangers."
"But compared with source power, a sixth-stage divine object, it still feels far too easy."
Liu Yu used many methods to inspect it, but found nothing wrong.
However, by nature he was suspicious, and this made him feel uneasy. He refused to believe that a pie falling from the sky would land on his head.
