Chapter 797: The True Meaning of the Sun
The damage to the Myriad Xuanlei battleship was more serious than Chen Hai had imagined.
Zhou Wanqing drove the Bihai Treasure Ship to hit it vigorously, although it did not directly crush the Wanyou Xuanlei Battleship to pieces, but the hull was fractured everywhere, and it would take a year for the hull alone to invest hundreds of catties of Xuanyang Refined Iron and other rarer materials to repair it.
And the key thing is that the Heaven Destroying Thunder Array, the Floating Magic Array, and the Water Resistance Array inside the Ten Thousand Mysteries Thunder Ship have all been damaged.
The Water Barrier Array is more common in Fusang Sea, and it is enough to directly replace it with a new Water Barrier Array, but the Floating Array and the Heaven Destroying Thunder Array, which are comparable to the central array of the Heaven Rank Upper Grade Magic Weapon, have all been damaged, and it is too difficult to repair this.
A Heaven Rank Artifact Magic Weapon, not to mention how precious the materials consumed, even if the Dao Fetal Realm Refining Sect Master has used it for hundreds of years, he may not be able to successfully refine it.
And the Heaven Destroying Thunder Array had a total of eight central array weapons equivalent to the top grade magic weapons of the Heavenly Rank, all of which were more or less damaged, and in addition to the Central Array Weapon, there were even one hundred and eight second-level array weapons that were comparable to the best of the earth level and Xuan level, all of which were more or less damaged.
Even if Chen Hai and Sha Tianhe personally presided over the entire restoration project, they would not have thought that they would be able to completely repair the Wanyou Xuanlei Ship for thirty or fifty years.
It's no wonder that the Leiyang Sect has such a deep foundation, why it has risen for so many years, but now it only has a Kunpeng-class battleship in its hands.
It is so difficult to repair Kunpeng-class battleships, let alone build them, and I don't know how many rare materials will be used.
Of course, the Bihai Treasure Ship is definitely an exception, Zhu Bi Zhenjun can use tens of millions of catties of Essence Xuan Gold to refine a Dao weapon and a second-grade warship, Chen Hai doubts that Zhu Bi Zhenjun is hiding too much turtle in the Snow Plains World, and there are too many Essence Xuan Gold in his hands, which is too boring, or maybe Zhu Bi Zhenjun's ambition is actually greater, thinking about refining the Bihai Treasure Ship into a higher-level forbidden treasure, but it is just a day and a year.
Chen Hai and Sha Tianhe didn't even study the prohibition of the floating formation, and they didn't expect the Myriad Xuan Thunder Ship to be able to fly in the sky in a short period of time;
Chen Hai naturally did not expect to be able to repair all the Xuanlei Array in a short period of time, the most important thing at the moment was to repair and strengthen the hull of the Xuanlei Warship, and then modify the Wind Flame Propeller Device, so that it could move in the rough sea.
Of course, Chen Hai was also led by two Dao Dan Realm Xuan Cultivators, and more than 100 cultivators were above the formation mage in the late stage of the Spirit Clearing Realm, refining and pondering how to repair the broken magic circle inside the Xuan Lei Battleship.
No matter how seriously damaged the Xuanlei Array is, it will be stronger than the Four Pillars Demon Punishment Array at this time; the hull of the Xuanlei Battleship is made of extremely strong and rare gold and iron, even if it does not use the protective array, it can be seen from the fact that it can withstand the weight of tens of millions of catties on the Blue Sea Treasure Ship without being torn apart, it can also be seen that it is much stronger than ordinary warships.
In the battle of Qingyuan River Estuary, Zhou's Fujiao Army has completely defeated the rebels' naval division, and it also has two Kunpeng-class warships.
At this time, Chen Hai had no intention of participating in the battle on Jiujun Island, on the one hand, he sent people to cross the sea and return to Chongguo to contact Jiang Yuwei and Jiang Ze, and on the other hand, he dragged the Xuanlei battleship back to Black Wind Island for repair, and the Black Wind Army also needed to take further rest.
Of course, Black Wind Island also undertook part of the task of forging Heavenly Machine weapons for the Zhou Clan, in exchange for necessary supplies and other resources.
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Jianxing, the entire Jiujun Island began to boil, and after Zhou Wanqing regained its peak combat strength, the Xiao Clan's sailors suffered a devastating blow, and those county clans that had rebelled and stood with the Xiao clan naturally had no choice at this time, but the counties that held a neutral wait-and-see attitude raised their banners at this time and returned to the rule of the Zhou clan.
The situation reversed, even if the Lei Yang Sect did not exert pressure, Xiao Ruohai had no intention of guarding Zixiao Mountain, and even gave up Wangdu, Liuyun, Tongchi and other places, and moved millions of clansmen and tens of millions of vassals to the three counties of Chonggang and the north of Qianfeng to defend it strictly.
The disciples of the Liuyun Sect and the descendants of the Liao clan finally abandoned Liuyun Island, and more than 100,000 people wanted to cross the sea and flee into the three northern counties of Jiujun Island, but they were intercepted by Feng Yichen and the main force of the Fujiao Army and the Naval Division.
Liao Yunkai, Liao Yunfan and others fled, more than 30,000 people were annihilated at sea, and the others all surrendered, except for the outer gate of the Liuyun Sect and the collateral children of the Liao clan's rebel clan were directly exiled back to Liuyun Island, the inner gate and the descendants of the Liao clan's rebel clan were all deposed and degraded to slavery.
After that, Feng Yichen's clan, Shizhen Liuyun Island, quelled the war on the periphery of Jiujun Island.
At this time, the prestige of the Zhou clan has reached the extreme, and everyone thinks that the Zhou clan will be in a hurry and directly expel the Xiao clan from Jiujun Island, but unexpectedly, after regaining the royal capital, Zhou Wanqing just led Zhou Yunshan and other generals Chen Bing in Taijin Mountain in the south of Chonggang County, and blocked the Xiao clan in the north of Jiujun Island, and began to prepare for the Zhou clan to move back to the royal capital to restore the country, and also specially sent an envoy to Heifeng Island to invite Chen Hai and Sha Tianhe to the royal capital to participate in the restoration ceremony, which is also the ceremony of the crowning of Zhou Bin, the Marquis of Wuling.
At this time, it was already the early summer of the fourteenth year of Jianxing, and Black Wind Island had just completed the hull repair of the Xuanlei ship.
Sending the envoy sent by Zhou Wanqing away, standing in front of the lock sea gate, Sha Tianhe said quite puzzledly: "What the hell is the Zhou clan doing, not to mention gathering all the strength at this time to calm the chaos on Jiujun Island in one fell swoop, but at this time, a restoration ceremony will be held." ”
Chen Hai nodded with a smile and said: "In the past, the Nine Counties Kingdom regarded the Zhou clan as a royal family, but the Qiang Clan was established according to the counties, and every year it was only a symbolic payment of some spiritual tribute, which was a tribute of this year, and there was no regular tax and military service, so that the Zhou clan's control over the Nine Counties was actually very weak, and it was mainly based on the personal prestige of the master of the Shuyu Palace and the bonds formed by the children of the various sects in the cultivation of the Shuyu Palace. The Xiao clan rebelled, and the clans of many counties rebelled, and although the remaining five counties did not directly rebel, in the final analysis, it was not allegiance to the Zhou family, but more to sell at a price. At present, the rebel army has not been extinguished, but it is a good opportunity to sort out the new military system and political system, so it is still very reasonable for the master of the Yuyu Palace to decide to restore the country first and then quell the rebellion, after all, at this time, everyone is still facing a lot of survival pressure, and all changes are to strengthen the combat power of the Shuibu Army, and I believe that the resistance will be much smaller......"
"So that's the case," Sha Tianhe saw that Chen Hai was on Black Wind Island and hadn't left for several months, but at this time, he was very clear about Zhou's intentions, guessing that this might be his idea for Zhou Wanqing, and he had to admit that this strategy was really good, and asked, "The territory of the three northern counties is not small, when is the best time to annihilate it?"
Chen Hai pursed his lips and said, "I'm not an immortal, how can I know that at that time, we were already in Cangmang Mountain." ”
*************
The Zhou family's restoration ceremony was held as scheduled, although it was simple, but all the clan heads of the nine counties who returned to the rule of the Zhou clan were ordered to participate, and the ceremony was also extremely grand.
Zhou Wanqing also returned to the Shuyu Palace, in addition to the children of the clans entering the Shuyu Palace to practice, but also increased the proportion of the children of the Han family on a large scale, and at the same time reorganized the relationship between the royal capital and the counties, the royal family and the small and medium-sized clans, changed the annual tribute to the tax practice, strengthened the management of the county government, and the officials were enshrined as the lord of the country, and at the same time, on the basis of the Haiyang county soldiers, recruited the private soldiers of the clans, reorganized the royal capital forbidden camp army, and continued to strengthen the combat power of the Fujiao army.
These have little to do with Chen Hai, and seeing that the Zhou clan's Wangdu Forbidden Camp Army and Fujiao Army are increasing in combat strength, the Black Wind Army, with a total establishment of less than 20,000 people, will become insignificant in the next battle.
The people sent to Chongguo rushed back, Jiang Yuwei had successfully cultivated the Dao Dan last year and was accepted by Yu Cang Zhenjun, but after Jiang Yuwei became a true disciple, before he had time to solve the problems of Zhu Mingwei and Wei Han, he and Jiang Xuan, Jiang Ze, Zhou Tong and others were sent by Yu Cang Zhenjun to the blood refining ground and entered the Flame Lake Divine Tower to practice.
At this time, it was Jiang He and Huan Wen who were trained in the Demon Zhangling Army and defended Beiling for Jiang Yuwei.
Jiang He and Huan Wen only recognized their friendship with Chen Hai's green scale demon body, and Chen Hai could only wait for Jiang Yuwei to practice from the Blood Refining Ground Flame Lake Divine Pagoda before considering going to Cangmang Mountain to gain a foothold.
After arranging the follow-up repair of the Xuanlei Battleship, arranging for people to infiltrate Cangmang Mountain, and conducting a comprehensive survey of Cangmang Mountain, Chen Hai began to retreat on Black Wind Island to consolidate his realm of newly cultivated Dao Fetus.
Chen Hai is also involved in martial arts, kendo, and mystical arts, and is also involved in refining, craftsmanship, military arts, alchemy and other arts, and his life is extremely complicated. Although it is said that he can continue to receive Zhou Wanqing's guidance in cultivation, Zhou Wanqing's status is noble and sensitive at this time, and many things have become out of place.
Before, it was forced by the situation that the two of them cultivated together to improve their cultivation, and at this time, the Zhou clan had already returned to the country, and Zhou Wanqing once again became the "Emperor Taishang" above hundreds of millions of people in the Nine Counties State.
Many times, Chen Hai is more likely to communicate with Zhou Wanqing in letters, what he has learned and practiced.
Chen Hai's martial arts cultivation has entered a bottleneck at this time, and it is difficult to break through in a short period of time, in addition to the true solution of the thunder, Chen Hai is now interested in cultivating and can quickly improve his personal combat power, or the Fire Crow Array Book.
In addition to being a powerful fire magic power in itself, the Fire Crow Array condenses the spirit of the Fire Crow and strengthens the spiritual aperture of the body, which is also a method for building a solid Dao foundation.
After entering the Heavenly Realm, there is a realm called the Flesh Realm, which is to cultivate the spiritual apertures of the whole body, so that the mortal body of the mortal body is supernatural.
There is no time for practice, and Chen Hai has been out of the customs again, and it is already the late spring of the fifteenth year of Jianxing.
In the past half a year, he divided the Yuan Shen and cultivated thirty-six Fire Crow Essences, and finally cultivated all the seventy-two Fire Crow Spirits needed to condense the Fire Raven Array, and he suddenly felt a trace of moxibustion heat in the void.
This is a manifestation of wanting to comprehend the true meaning of the Dao, Chen Hai couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, with his understanding of the true meaning of the Dao, Chen Hai knew that this should be a fragment of the Dao of Fire.
It's just surprising, although this breath is hot, it is not manic, and it does not have the momentum of burning everything he felt from Jiang He, who comprehended the true meaning of the Liaoyuan, and Chi Yuan, who comprehended the true meaning of the burning flame.
The true meaning of the Dao is a fragment of the Great Dao, and there are many types like stars, and the inheritance and accumulation of the sects of the Xingheng Domain for hundreds of thousands of years have not been fully counted, and Chen Li will not necessarily correspond to the true meaning of the new comprehension with the old name, and after careful consideration, he thinks that it is more appropriate to call it the true meaning of the burning yang......
