Xiao Mo didn't pay much attention to the matter of warships that Jin Xuan mentioned.
Even if they were to fight a war in the sea, he wouldn't need warships at all.
After all, the Nine Heavens and Nine Underworlds City was currently guarding the sky, and there were also enhanced hot air balloons among other flying equipment.
Although the number of hot air balloons was not large, only thirty in total, each hot air balloon possessed immense combat power.
They could easily kill cultivators at the Monarch tier and even cultivators at the Saint tier couldn't withstand their attacks.
In fact, Xiao Mo had intended to test the power of the hot air balloons during this great decisive battle.
However, enemies killed by hot air balloons yielded no experience points.
Otherwise, he would have directly formed an aerial legion and bombarded the Alliance army from the sky.
But for the naval battles that would follow, perhaps he could experiment with the power of the aerial legion.
Therefore, Xiao Mo naturally didn't take the warships of the territorial forces in the sea seriously.
After chatting for a while longer, Xiao Mo said to Jin Xuan, "Since you've moved here, let's settle down in the capital!"
"I've arranged a courtyard for you in the inner city. You can move in directly and take a break. In about three to four hours at most, the Alliance army will likely arrive at the capital!"
"I understand!"
Jin Xuan nodded and, after responding, left the Grand Hall of the Royal Palace under Xiao Mo's gaze.
After Jin Xuan's figure disappeared, Xiao Mo's mind stirred.
Immediately, the [Immortal and Demon Sword], symbolizing the power of the ruler, appeared in Xiao Mo's hand.

[Evolution Requirement: One Thousand Drops of Condensed Divine Fluid]

[Friendly Reminder: The more citizens the kingdom has and the stronger they are, the more terrifying the power of the Immortal and Demon Sword will be!]
After briefly reviewing the information of the Immortal and Demon Sword in his hand, Xiao Mo couldn't help but feel excited.
Now that he had ample Condensed Divine Fluid, he could finally upgrade the Immortal and Demon Sword.
When Xiao Mo had just become a god, the Immortal and Demon Sword was quite powerful.
After all, it had one hundred points of divine power strength, and its peak power could rival that of a peak Mid-grade Divine tier cultivator.
However, Xiao Mo himself had now reached the level of a Low-grade God King. The power of this sword had become somewhat lacking.
At his current mid-stage Low-grade God King level, the divine power he could unleash reached fifteen thousand points, which was more than a hundred times that of the current Immortal and Demon Sword.
It could be said that his casual strike now was far more powerful than the Immortal and Demon Sword.
Therefore, the current tier of the Immortal and Demon Sword was no longer suitable for him, and it was time to upgrade it.
With this thought, Xiao Mo no longer hesitated and directly opened the upgrade information for the [Immortal and Demon Sword].
[Currently, there is an abundance of pure Condensed Divine Fluid. Do you wish to consume one thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid to upgrade the Immortal and Demon Sword to a Mid-grade Divine Artifact?]
[Yes] [No]
"Upgrade immediately!"
There was naturally no need to hesitate. Xiao Mo directly chose [Yes].
The next moment, the Immortal and Demon Sword in his hand erupted with a dazzling golden light and floated in mid-air.
Similar to the light of promotion, the entire Immortal and Demon Sword was enveloped in brilliant golden light.
It took nearly fifteen minutes for the dazzling golden light to slowly dissipate.
As soon as the golden light completely vanished, an incredibly powerful divine might emanated from the Grand Hall of the Royal Palace.
This pressure was at least ten times stronger than before the upgrade.
Feeling this pressure, Xiao Mo re-examined the detailed information of the [Immortal and Demon Sword].
He then discovered that the sword's tier had indeed been upgraded to a Mid-grade Divine Artifact, and its divine power strength had directly increased to one thousand.
This meant that every swing of the Immortal and Demon Sword was equivalent to an attack with one thousand points of divine power strength.
Of course, this didn't mean the Immortal and Demon Sword itself possessed infinite divine power. It required the owner to mobilize their divine power.
In other words, each time Xiao Mo swung the sword, he only needed to consume one thousand points of divine power to unleash the sword's full power.
The purpose of the Immortal and Demon Sword was to amplify the power of Xiao Mo's sword swings.
This meant that for the same one thousand points of divine power strength, the destructive power and rule power would be greatly enhanced with the amplification of the Immortal and Demon Sword.
This allowed Xiao Mo to easily crush deities of the same level in combat.
Furthermore, after being upgraded to a Mid-grade Divine Artifact, the Immortal and Demon Sword could mobilize the strength of the kingdom's citizens, increasing from the original one-tenth to the current two-tenths.
Looking at the numbers alone, it might seem like a small increase and not worth mentioning.
But in reality, this was terrifying and was enough to instantly increase Xiao Mo's strength by more than double.
Subsequently, Xiao Mo checked the upgrade requirement for the Immortal and Demon Sword to reach the next level, which had doubled to two thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid.
For Xiao Mo now, this was nothing at all, so without batting an eye, he chose to upgrade again.
This upgrade took a full twenty minutes, five minutes longer than the previous one.
After the [Immortal and Demon Sword] was upgraded to a High-grade Divine Artifact, its divine power strength only increased to two thousand points, with no other changes.
Following that, Xiao Mo consumed another three thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid to upgrade the [Immortal and Demon Sword] to a Top-grade Divine Artifact, its divine power strength directly reaching five thousand points.
However, Xiao Mo was still not satisfied. He then consumed five thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid to upgrade the [Immortal and Demon Sword] to a Low-grade God King weapon, with its divine power strength reaching ten thousand.
But Xiao Mo was still not satisfied. After all, his current divine power strength was fifteen thousand points, and a Low-grade God King weapon-level [Immortal and Demon Sword] was still a bit insufficient.
"Continue!"
Muttering to himself, Xiao Mo, at the cost of ten thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid, upgraded the Immortal and Demon Sword to a Mid-grade God King weapon.
With the Mid-grade God King weapon-level [Immortal and Demon Sword], the divine power strength finally reached fifteen thousand points, matching Xiao Mo's current strength.
This upgrade of the [Immortal and Demon Sword] consumed a total of twenty-one thousand drops of Condensed Divine Fluid. Thinking about how many complete Immortal and Demon soldier types could be reincarnated with so much Condensed Divine Fluid, Xiao Mo felt a pang of heartache.
However, for the sake of upgrading this innate divine artifact symbolizing the ruler's power and to enhance his own strength, even this much consumption of Condensed Divine Fluid was worth it.
