Eighteen Rides with Yan Yun

After the battle ended, Li Luo and the Beiliang army quickly withdrew and returned to Thousand Fragrance City.

In the courtyard of the Governor's Mansion.

Li Luo sat in the courtyard, looking up at the bright moon about to set, with different colors flashing in his eyes.

"Murong Liao should be arriving soon..."

Li Luo's mouth raised slightly. Then his consciousness entered the system space.

He planned to use his reputation points to improve his cultivation level to the Returning Void Realm.

Looking at the 500,000 reputation points displayed in the system, Li Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Previously, he had captured many cities from King Qi.

But because of the Nanyun Kingdom's invasion, after capturing those cities, he had rushed to Thousand Fragrance City and did not have time to win over the people's hearts.

Otherwise, he would have had more than 500,000 reputation points now.

"Never mind... After driving away Nanyun and stabilizing Western Province, I will win over the people's hearts one by one..."

Li Luo sighed lightly, and began to chant inwardly:

"System, can I improve my cultivation level to the Returning Void Realm by using up all the reputation points?"

System: [Unable!]

[With the reputation points the host currently owns, cultivation level can only be improved to the peak of the Great Cultivation Realm.]

Li Luo frowned, and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

"Previously, with 400,000 reputation points, I improved from the Ascension Soul Realm to the Great Cultivation Realm. Why can't I cross a whole realm now with 500,000 reputation points?"

System: [The host can treat reputation points as experience points. The higher the cultivation level, the more experience required to level up.]

[To advance to the Returning Void Realm, the host needs at least 700,000 reputation points.]

[Summoning is the same. As the host's realm improves, the reputation points required to exchange for summoning chances will also increase accordingly.]

[However, the higher the host's realm, the higher the cultivation level of the summoned powerhouses...]

"I see..."

After the system's explanation, Li Luo understood instantly.

Since he couldn't break through to the Returning Void Realm with reputation points.

He could only use them to summon instead.

"System, how many summons can 500,000 reputation points exchange for?"

Li Luo asked.

System: [Two times!]

Hearing the system's answer, Li Luo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

500,000 reputation could only exchange for two summoning chances now.

So as his cultivation level increased, each summon would cost 250,000 reputation points.

When his cultivation reached the Returning Void Realm in the future, wouldn't each summon require at least 500,000 reputation points?!

However, he soon felt at ease when he thought about the many cities and people in Western Province who had not yet become his fans.

The entire Western Province had a population of several million.

As long as he could win over the hearts of the people in Western Province, how could he lack reputation points?

"Exchange for two summoning chances!"

"Summon!"

Li Luo came back to his senses and chanted inwardly.

[Ding!]

[Exchange successful!]

[Ding!]

[Summon successful!]

Countless strange dimensional planes flashed rapidly before Li Luo's eyes.

[Ding!]

[Two summon chances, two successes!]

[Sui and Tang Dynasties plane!]

[Summoned character: Luo Yi (Yan Yun Eighteen Riders)]

Cultivation: Returning Void Realm Initial Stage.

Loyalty: 100%

Attached characters: Yan Yun Eighteen Riders

Cultivation: Great Cultivation Realm Intermediate Stage (all)

Loyalty: 100%

[Ding!]

[System Store plane!]

[Summoned treasure: Heavenly Emperor's Sutra!]

Grade: Unknown.

Introduction: The Heavenly Emperor's Sutra was jointly created by eleven unknown Heavenly Emperors. Those who cultivate this mystic art to perfection can transcend beyond the cosmos, not within dimensions, control life and death, karma, reverse yin and yang.

Seeing the two successful summons, Li Luo was so excited that his breathing became rapid. He was both surprised and delighted.

He didn't expect to summon Luo Yi this time!

Not only that, but with the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders as well!

Luo Yi was a famous general in the late Sui and early Tang dynasties.

The Yan Yun Eighteen he led was known as the ace force at that time, constantly active in the desert, and no one had ever seen their true appearance.

It was said that every time they appeared, they brought a massacre that devastated the barbarians.

What surprised Li Luo even more was that Luo Yi's cultivation was at the Returning Void Realm, and the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders under him all had cultivation at the Intermediate Stage of the Great Cultivation Realm.

Li Luo took a deep breath to calm his indescribable excitement.

Beiliang finally had a powerhouse at the Returning Void Realm!

Not only that, with the eighteen Yan Yun Riders, plus Beiliang's current Great Cultivation Realm experts, there were now as many as twenty-two!

Li Luo came back to his senses, but a question arose in his mind.

"System, with such high cultivation levels, could the talents of the Yan Yun Eighteen Riders compare to Li Ergou's and Gao Shun's?"

System: [The host is overthinking. Summoned powerhouses all belong to the growth type. Like the martial artists in this world, they can improve their realm through cultivation.]

[The cultivation levels of attached characters are fixed.]

[Also, the powerhouses summoned by the system all come from dimensional planes, and are completely different from the world the host knew in his previous life.]

[The cultivation levels of all these summoned characters are evaluated and assigned by the system. Therefore, the host cannot judge the strength of the summoned powerhouses based on his prior knowledge.]

"So no matter if they are historical or mythical figures of China, their cultivation levels are determined by the system before being summoned to this world."

"In the future if I summon a mythical figure, it's possible his cultivation surpasses Luo Yi's and Gao Shun's, or is lower than theirs?"

"A summoned civil official may have higher cultivation than a military general?"

Li Luo asked.

System: [Yes, no matter which plane's powerhouse, their cultivation is re-evaluated and assigned by the system before being summoned by the host.]

[But after being summoned by the host, their future cultivation improvements will depend on their own cultivation. As for who is stronger, it depends on themselves.]

Li Luo nodded. So although these summoned characters were familiar, they were completely different from what he knew in his previous life.

Li Luo regained his senses and looked towards the Heavenly Emperor's Sutra, continuing to ask:

"System Store plane, what is this plane?"

System: [The System Store plane is the system's own plane, containing treasures from various dimensional planes.]

[With luck, the host can summon treasures from the System Store plane's various dimensions through summoning.]

[This system doesn't just summon character powerhouses...]

"I see!"

Li Luo took out the Heavenly Emperor's Sutra, unable to contain his curiosity.

The grade of this Heavenly Emperor's Sutra was actually unknown.

In this world, there were cultivation mystic arts and martial skills for warriors to cultivate.

Like martial skills, mystic arts were also divided into Mortal, Profound, Spirit, Earth, Heaven, Saint, Emperor and Divine grades.

Looking at the introduction, Li Luo wondered if this mystic art surpassed the Divine grade?

It certainly wouldn't be any ordinary thing, since it came from the system.

Therefore, Li Luo decided to cultivate the Heavenly Emperor's Sutra.

After all, the mystic art passed down by his father was only of the Profound grade.

After taking out the Heavenly Emperor's Sutra, Li Luo was in no hurry to start cultivating. Still filled with excitement, he released the summoned Luo Yi.
