The crater where the space passage is located, like a giant furnace, is a fire brown rock formation, also known as the copper furnace ridge, and the copper furnace fort is located on the plateau at the southern foot of the copper furnace ridge.

In the past two years, the Divine Guard has transferred a large number of slave laborers from Yunzhou to mine and quarry from the Copper Furnace Ridge, melt copper and iron, and pour it onto the city wall.

At this time, the copper furnace fort can be said to be a real copper wall, as high as more than thirty zhang, even if the formation prohibition is not activated, the Yudan demon beast cannot break the city wall from the front.

Then again, the aura that can be gathered in the underground spiritual veins of the Copper Fort is extremely limited, and even if the ban-level magic circle is activated, the additional protection that can be provided is quite limited.

Chen Xun, Wu Yizhenren, and Su Muchen flew to the sky above the Copper Furnace Fort, and saw a large number of clouds and mist floating in the protective spirit cover, knowing that the Eight Desolation Banner in King Qing's hand had taken root in the Copper Furnace Fort.

In the wasteland, slave laborers are like dense ant colonies, transporting large quantities of copper and iron ore to the Copper Fort for smelting.

Although these selected slave laborers are extremely healthy, they are directly exposed to the scorching heat of the sky, and the fate is usually extremely miserable, and the life of two or three years is already the limit.

For the Jiang family, who controls a huge population, mortal lives are the least valuable resource.

Chen Xun had been in retreat in Qingwuling during this time to refine the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array, but he learned from Su Shousi and Su Wuyang that of the 400,000 slave laborers transferred to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm by the Divine Guard Army in the past two years, 100,000 had died in the wasteland, which could be described as a pile of corpses.

Seeing this, Su Wuyang, who was flying behind Chen Xun, was silent, knowing that if Chen Xun hadn't protected him and the three hundred soldiers, the 100,000 remnant children of the Su clan who had moved into Yuzhou would not have been able to escape such a bleak fate.

Entering the Copper Furnace Fort, under the cover of a large number of clouds and mist, Chen Xun felt that the protective spirit shield was much cooler than the outside, and from the flowing air around him, he could also feel the storage of the aura of heaven and earth, and secretly felt that the Eight Desolation Xuanta Banner he had refined was still a huge gap with the Eight Desolation Banner, and it still needed to be continuously improved.

Chen Xun, Su Muchen, and Wu Yizhen entered the Copper Furnace Fort, and Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, summoned them into the main hall to meet them as soon as possible.

Qing King Jiang Lan and Songhe Zhenjun sat side by side on the jade seat in the center of the main hall, and when they saw Chen Xun and them coming in, they exclaimed eagerly: "I haven't seen them for a year, but Chen Zhenren's cultivation has improved again." ”

In the sky above the Qingjiang River back then, the scene of King Qing Jiang Lan hitting the blue eyes and green scales with his soul clone left a deep impression on Chen Xun, knowing that although King Qing Jiang Lan was still a line away from the realm of heaven and man, his soul cultivation was extremely strong, and he had the magic power of the true pupil away from the fire, and he had a slight change in the realm of cultivation, and he couldn't hide King Qing's sharp eyes for the time being.

"It's mostly thanks to the blessing of the prince, Chen Xun has indeed gained something from retreat and practice during this time. Chen Xunji saluted, and sat down with Su Muchen and Wu Yizhen under Su Junchen and Yanling County Lord.

Before them, many people had rushed to the Copper Furnace Fort, and they all summoned King Qing to the main hall to drink and feast.

These are the core figures in the clans that support King Jiang Lan of Qing, Songhe Zhenjun and Wu Yi Zhenren are also from these clans;

When Emperor Xiwu expelled the Ji clan and called Emperor Yunzhou, there were thirty-six gods to follow in order to succeed, at this time, King Qing wanted to win in the battle for the throne, and the support of many clan forces was indispensable.

It's just that these clans, except for the Yuzhou Su clan, the Tianshui County Wei clan from Songhe Zhenjun, and the Dongquan County Wu clan from Wuyi Zhenren, the strength of the other clans is quite average, only equivalent to the second- and third-rate sects of Yunzhou.

In comparison, the strength of the four sects of Wushan at this time is already extraordinary.

Chen Xun entered the main hall, and the seats were only arranged under Jiang Nanke, Su Junchen, Su Muchen, Jiang Yunxian, and Wu Yizhen; even Su Wuyang, who accompanied Chen Xun into the Copper Furnace Castle, also had a place in the corner of the main hall.

Qing Wang Jiang Lan pulled over a young man in a golden silk python robe sitting beside him and introduced Chen Xun: "Chen Zhenren, you haven't had a chance to meet Nan Ke yet, have you?"

As the seventeenth son of Emperor Xiwu, Jiang Lan, King of Qing, has a lifespan of more than 2,000 years.

For more than 2,000 years, in addition to the young daughter Jiang Yunxian, the lord of Yanling County, Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, has also given birth to one hundred and twenty other heirs, and the descendants are even more unknown, and it is impossible for Chen Xunduan to recognize them all.

Among the descendants of King Jiang Lan of Qing, the ones who are really valued are the thirteen people who are above the Yuandan realm, headed by Jiang Nanke, the prince of the world, and Jiang Yunxian, the lord of Yanling County.

Previously, the son Jiang Nanke had been practicing in the Tianjun Great World, and Chen Xun hugged King Qing's thigh, so in the past three or four years, he naturally had no chance to meet him.

Jiang Nanke is not the eldest son of Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, and he has only been born to practice for two hundred years, but his mother is the sister of Su Junchen and Su Muchen, and he is also the sister of Songhe Zhenjun.

Seeing Jiang Nanke's humble bow, Chen Xun hurriedly got up and returned the salute, and after hearing what King Qing said, he knew that Jiang Nanke was named the Marquis of Tianhuo County this time, and the Tianhuo Mountain Range, including Tonglu Ridge, would officially become his fiefdom.

Qing King Jiang Lan also wanted to take the first step in the name of the ancestral vein Heavenly Volcano in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

This qiē went extremely smoothly, indicating that Chimei Zhenjun, Jiang Bin, and the Chunlingjun and others behind them had not yet realized the importance of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

In their eyes, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm may become extremely important after one or two thousand years, but how many people are willing to invest a lot of resources and manpower into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm at this time?

Except for a very small number of divine beasts and demons with pure blood, there is no way for the human race to live for one or two thousand years.

Perhaps in their eyes, they even guessed that King Qing had retreated at this time, and he really wanted to pave the way for himself to retreat in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

Once the competition for the throne is lost, it will naturally be difficult for King Qing's family to gain a foothold in Yunzhou, and it is undoubtedly a choice to lead the descendants of the descendants to be exiled to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

This time, in addition to Jiang Nanke being named the Marquis of Tianhuo County, Su Wuyang and other sixteen people are also being named the city lords of Qingwu and other cities, and they all nominally have to be loyal to Jiang Nanke, the prince of Qingwangfu and the Marquis of Tianhuo County, and make contributions.

Of course, everyone didn't care about any of this, and this time they rushed to the Copper Furnace Fort to discuss the matter, and they were more concerned about how to operate the Tianhuo Mountain Range in the future.

And this time, King Qing sent his son Jiang Nanke to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to preside over a qiē affair, and he was also determined to increase the intensity of the operation of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.

The eruption of the Heavenly Volcano has not stopped, but the first-class character of Songhe True Monarch can already sense from the leylines that the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm is undergoing earth-shattering changes.

Su Muchen took this opportunity to quickly poke out the matter of Chen Xun's refining of the Eight Desolation Xuanta Formation in Qingwuling in the main hall.

He was also afraid that Chen Xun would regret it, and the families would lose the opportunity to obtain the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array.

"The Eight Desolation Xuanta Array refined by Wushan is really different from the Eight Desolation Banner?" After hearing this, King Jiang Lan was also extremely shocked.

"The Eight Desolation Banner is a heaven-level magic weapon that can only be refined by the ancient sects in the Tianjun Great World, how dare you compete with the sun and the moon with the skill of Wushan Weimo?" Chen Xun said with a smile, "King Qing left me to live in the Copper Furnace Fort for a few days this time, and I happened to take this opportunity to transcribe the refining method of the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array and present it to King Qing." ”

"Chen Zhenren, as the No. 1 Refining Grandmaster in the Northwest Region of Yunzhou, how can he be arrogant," King Qing was so excited that he wanted to directly invite Chen Xun to sit down beside him, "Although the Eight Desolation Banners are mysterious, I have only managed to get a face from my father's hands, and it can only generate a thousand zhang ice fields in the Copper Furnace Castle presided over by a Yuan Dan Zhenren. If he can refine the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array in batches in the Heavenly Furnace one day, he will be able to truly shine. ”

Everyone present was shocked by the words.

The Eight Desolation Banners are good, but they are the unattainable Heavenly Rank magic weapons of all clans, and the refining method is the secret of the ancient sects in the Tianjun Great World, and they want to obtain them, at least two or three Heavenly Rank magic weapons must be exchanged.

If you are not a descendant of the thirty-six divine generals, which family can have more than two or three heaven-level magic weapons in your hands?

In comparison, the Eight Desolation Pagoda Array, which Chen Xun was able to refine in ten years, was what everyone really needed at this time.

Speaking of the Gathering Spirit Prohibition, the ancient sects of the Tianjun Great World are not without similar formation prohibitions, and they are even much more subtle and powerful, but it is precisely the Gathering Spirit Prohibition that has been handed down from Wushan, and the refining method is simple and easy, and the second-rate refining sect in Yunzhou can refine it, which is the key to the Gathering Spirit Prohibition to shine in Yunzhou in the past few decades.

Everyone was worried about the long-term garrison of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, and when they heard that Chen Xun was able to offer the refining method of the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array, King Qing was also so excited that he laughed and said: "The Yuanwu Marquis Mansion dedicated the basic formation of the Gathering Spirit Prohibition to his father, and the father was very happy, and immediately gave Jiang Wei three Jiao Marrow Pills, for a long time, everyone did not know that Yuanwu Marquis Jiang Zhen was actually stealing Wushan. This king doesn't have three Jiao Chalcedony Jade Liquid Pills in his hand, Chen Zhenren, what do you want this king to reward you?"

A Jiao Pidony Jade Liquid Pill is made of the flesh and blood essence of a whole adult Jiaolong and the vertebral pith jade liquid, the blood of Jiaoxin, and Jiao Dan.

There are a lot of knot pill demon Jiao in the Falling Star Sea, but who has the life to kill to refine the pill?

Jiang Bin's cultivation has been able to improve by leaps and bounds over the years, mainly due to the absorption of the essence of the two-headed knot dragon.

Three Jiao Pi Pills are enough to be worth one Dragon Marrow Gold Liquid Pill.

The Dragon Marrow Gold Liquid Pill in Chen Xun's hand has been completely exhausted, if he can have three Jiao Pidony Jade Liquid Pills, it would naturally be good, but even if it is in King Qing's hands, he can't take out three Jiao Pile Jade Liquid Pills for a while.

"All the families are in rags, entering the secret realm of the Heavenly Furnace to open up the wasteland, just when they are in the same boat, Chen Xun is just offering his meager strength, how can he ask for any reward?" Chen Xun excused.

"How can this be done? If there is no reward for meritorious service, and no punishment for mistakes, will this king become the lord of mediocrity?" King Qing smiled and asked Songhe Zhenjun, "Wei Zhenjun, how do you say this king will reward Chen Zhenren?"

Songhe Zhenjun said with a smile: "The Eight Desolation Xuanta Formation is a secret legend of Wushan, and it should not be spread too widely. In my opinion, King Qing can set up a sect in the Heavenly Furnace, specializing in refining weapons and teaching disciples, and teach him the method of refining the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array, and the Eight Desolation Xuanta Array refined in the next hundred years, King Qing will get one, Wushan will get one, and the remaining one will ......be divided equally by each family."

"Okay, Wei Zhenjun's idea is very good, this sect might as well be called the Heavenly Furnace Sect. King Qing laughed, and his pupils that revealed a clear divine light swept towards everyone, wanting to see if anyone else objected.

Chen Xun also secretly felt that Songhe Zhenjun's strategy was very clever.

The clans that previously supported King Qing were mainly concentrated in the Divine Guard, but the Divine Guard Army was directly led by the Heavenly Mansion, and King Qing could only push behind the scenes and could not directly interfere in many things.

At this time, a special sect was set up to gather part of the forces of all families into the sect, which could be directly used by King Qing.

When the time comes, Chen Xundu will have to select some disciples from Canglan and send them to the Heavenly Furnace Sect to practice, so as to show that he is firmly on King Qing's side.

Of course, the more realistic benefit to Wushan is that without investing any resources and manpower, you can obtain one-third of the Eight Desolation Pagoda Array refined by the Heavenly Furnace Sect within a hundred years.

Once King Qing loses the throne, although the families will not be purged, they will also be suppressed by the new emperor in Yunzhou.

What's more, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm has evolved into a new complete Heavenly Domain, and if there is really a Hongmeng Yuan Breath to conceive, all the sects will send the most elite disciples to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to cultivate, and there will be indescribable benefits, and at this time, they will naturally agree with the construction of Songhe Zhenjun.
