My military branches can Evolve Infinitely-Chapter 471 - 316: The Legendary Path (4K)

Shen Linglong truly lived up to her reputation as a well-known Great Lord, for she returned in just a few minutes with several treasures on par with, and even surpassing, the Excellence Three-star Relics in value.

Under the envious gaze of other lords, she secured the Mountain Giant's Remnant Soul, a treasure even among Three-star Relics.

'Big Lord, that's not very sportsmanlike of you!'

Some veteran lords were coveting this super-powerful Remnant Soul, hoping to go back and come up with a way to gather treasures to compete for it in the next auction. However, no sooner had they hatched their plans than they were nipped in the bud.

It was over, all over.

The wealthy Lord Linglong simply made her move, snatching up this rare treasure. Everything happened so quickly that some lords, slower to catch on, only realized what had happened when she and Tianyuan exchanged their treasures.

They were both envious and jealous.

"Wait a minute...."

Someone suddenly noticed something amiss.

How did that Tianyuan guy manage to come up with another super-rare Remnant Soul? It was rumored that Tianyuan Territory had been displaced and was in jeopardy, but now it seemed far from being in danger—it must have moved right into a treasure trove.

They were both envious and jealous.

The treasure brought out by Lord Linglong for the exchange was also an extreme rarity, drool-worthy upon sight. They wanted it too! Damn it!

'Miracle Blueprints "Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower·Permanent (Rare)"'!

Mu Yuan ultimately chose this item.

This was a set of Rare Level blueprints.

Conventionally, no matter how valuable Miracle Blueprints were, they couldn't compare to Soul Remnants if they were a whole order of magnitude apart. Not to mention, the Mountain Giant's Remnant Soul was also a rare treasure among the High-order Soul Remnants.

But,

These were permanent blueprints!

Once recorded, a lord could build this Miracle Building an unlimited number of times, whether on their own territory, sub-territories, or even foreign enclaves carved out by Watchtowers.

Like Watchtowers and Arrow Towers, as long as the lords had sufficient materials, they could build endlessly.

Although the Thunder Magnetic Coil Tower was only a Rare Level building, and even among Miracle Buildings it was a relatively common defensive structure, the value of these permanent blueprints was slightly higher than that of the Mountain Giant's Remnant Soul.

Lord Linglong generously stated she didn't need Soul Crystals added to the trade; a straight swap would suffice.

As she put it, being a senior, how could she quibble with her juniors?

"Since the Mountain Giant's Remnant Soul wasn't auctioned and I directly intercepted it, consider it a necessary premium," she said.

"Premium or not, I'm very satisfied with this Remnant Soul—it's exactly what I need. With this type of troops, I have a good chance of breaking through to the Legendary Realm next. Look forward to it, Yuanyuan, for the next time we meet, I might have become a legendary existence, wakakaka."

Shen Linglong stood with her hands on her hips, dreaming of the future.

In truth, she didn't lack the combat power of a Mountain Giant.

Even if she trained a Mountain Giant, at best, it would just be another strong Fourth-order Peak Strongman. And such a Mountain Giant couldn't step into the Legendary Realm in the short term, at least.

For a Great Lord like Shen Linglong, unless she could recruit an Epic-level general, it was difficult to see a significant breakthrough in her overall strength.

However, Shen Linglong seemed to have a unique talent related to strength-based troops; as long as she assembled a certain number and quality of High-order strength troops, she was confident she could break through the great barrier and transcend into the Legendary Realm.

This was about concentrating all the strength of her territory within herself.

On this path, the lord themselves are the strongest in their territory and the most likely to step into the Legendary Realm. With control over territory power, possession of the Lord's Power, abundant resources, and even some unique strategic talents, such lords indeed have a slightly higher chance of entering the Legendary Realm compared to ordinary High-order generals.

Some extreme lords even forego developing their territories, investing all opportunities, treasures, and hopes onto themselves, aspiring to go even further.

After all, by entering the Legendary Realm, not only does one's life undergo a transformation and they wield great force, but their lifespan greatly increases as well—many lords find such temptation irresistible.

Compared to just one general stepping into the Legendary Realm, they would rather become legends themselves!

Even if not taken to the extreme, the path of the 'Unparalleled Lord' remains a mainstream choice in the lords' world. Over half the Great and veteran lords have chosen this path, although the vast majority who do, fail to make a name for themselves.

It's not just by walking the path of the 'Unparalleled Lord' that one has a chance to touch upon the Legendary Realm; most lords don't even come close to the Fourth-order Peak.

More precisely, these lords haven't even crossed the threshold.

Lord Linglong seemed to have a good chance of truly embarking on the path of the Unparalleled Lord.

And within the Tai Xuan Alliance, the most dazzling figure on the path of the 'Unparalleled Lord' was undoubtedly...

The Lord of Han Yue City.

It was said that recently, the Lord of Han Yue City had delved into the Red Mist Land again, slaying countless legendary creatures.

"Next time there is a strength-based High-order Troops, I'll save it for you," Mu Yuan said, looking up at Shen Linglong who was a head shorter than him.

"Thanks a lot. Even though I'll soon break through to the Legendary Realm, I still have a huge demand for strength-based troops—bring them on. Of course, they should at least not be much inferior to the Mountain Giant. Since you said so, I'm looking forward to it," she replied.
