Chapter 43: Expediency
(I'm sorry for today's update)
Ce Tianfu had no intention of storming Heiyin Ridge, and Chen Xun and other monks who gathered Zhou Wushan on standby with the edict could not leave casually.
Ce Tianfu did not make it clear whether to attack or defend next, but in the next two months, the troops were not moved, and the Xuandu Sect took advantage of the gathering of strong people in the Heaven and Man Realm and the Law Phase, and set up the Xuandu Tianmen Array on the main peak of Zhou Wu Mountain.
The Xuandu Tianmen Array, as the Xuandu Sect, and even the only one Heaven and Earth Array in the entire Northern Regions, is several times more powerful than the Soul Suppression Mountain and River Array, and it was moved from Xuandu Mountain to the main peak at the middle foot of Zhouwu Mountain, which undoubtedly means that the Xuandu Sect has two mountain gates at the same time from now on.
Spiritual vein resources, for the sect, are always at the forefront.
The more pure the aura exuded by the spiritual vein, the more conducive it is to the cultivation of the disciples, this is the consensus.
Chang Xi lived in the Longmen Sect, cultivated in the Lotus Peak Holy Land of the Longmen Sect, and cultivated into the Yuan Dan after seven years of retreat.
If you change to a peak and valley with a slightly worse spiritual vein grade, it may take twice as much time.
However, if a person in the Law Realm is strong, when he is cultivating, he can only swallow a huge amount of pure spiritual energy, and he can probably only meet his needs in a strange-shaped spiritual land where the three or even five veins converge in one place, and the Heavenly and Human Realm powerhouses are even more demanding in their choice of cultivating spiritual land.
In addition to these, most of the huge amount of elixirs required by the disciples of the sect to cultivate are to cultivate elixirs and exotic herbs in their own mountain gates to raise rare birds and spirit beasts.
Otherwise, apart from some desperate and dangerous places in Yunzhou, how could there be so many elixirs and herbs to refine pills for ordinary disciples?
The sect used a magic circle to block the mountains, and the abundant spiritual energy continued to leak out from the spiritual veins and spiritual acupoints, and a medicinal field was closed and grown for a hundred years, and the spiritual herbs were even purer than the elixirs that had grown in the wild mountains for three or five hundred years.
It's just a high-grade elixir, and the growth cycle is extremely long, and the sect usually needs to open up hundreds of medicinal fields for one elixir to ensure that there is a continuous supply of the same elixir every year.
There are many kinds of elixirs and exotic herbs, and the selection of medicinal fields is extremely harsh, not to mention the wide range of activities of rare birds and beasts, which means that if the sect wants to maintain the supply of elixirs and rare birds and beasts, it needs to occupy a large number of mountains with abundant spiritual energy.
The Xuandu Sect occupies an additional mountain gate that stretches thousands of miles, and the development potential of the sect will be multiplied in the future, and this is supported by the Celestial Mansion.
Even if Cetianfu does not want the power of the Xuandu Sect to multiply, at this time, it is expected that the Xuandu Sect can make a great effort to target the demon clan that retreats to the Black Yin Ridge in the north, and the benefits will naturally be sufficient.
The Xuandu Tianmen Array was laid under the main peak of the middle foothills, and the Xuandu Sect mobilized a large number of secular disciples from the Northern Regions to enter Zhouwu Mountain to open up the Shijing Cave Mansion and build pavilions and palaces......
In this way, except for the disciples of the Northern Regions Sect who will be ordered by the Xuandu Sect, as well as the soldiers and horses directly under the Ce Tianfu, continue to hold Zhou Wu Mountain, set up more magic circles on both wings, and block the passage for the monsters to go south, the reinforcements from the other regions will be withdrawn one after another.
For more than two months, Chen Xun and Chang Xi stayed in the valley at the western foot of Zhouwu Mountain.
With nothing to do, Chen Xun successively refined the fifteen little demon generals into spirit spirits.
Chen Xun wanted to have the abilities of Yin Yang Xuanyuan and Xuanyuan Holy Body, and devour the secret meaning of the Demon Dao contained in the true body of the Heavenly Demon Demon, so he needed to ingest the Yuan Shen into the Spirit Sea for refining, and he had to withstand the attack of the Demon General's Yuan Shen True Body Law Aspect first.
Chen Xun is a Xuanyuan Holy Body, and an attack at the level of an ordinary divine soul cannot tear apart the hidden veins between his hundreds of bones at all, but the divine power possessed by the true body law is like the electric snake thunder light that Lao Kui Yuan God can cast, which can directly attack the divine soul and the flesh of the hundred skeletons.
Chen Xun felt that he still cultivated the Yuan Dan first, and after the Yuan Shen cultivation was more refined, it would be more secure to refine the Heavenly Demon-level Demon General Yuan Shen.
Chen Xun copied two copies of the refining method of the Xuanlei chariot, one to Chu Yuezhenren and one to Luo Yuze.
Chen Xun felt that he should start cultivating the Yuan Dan at this time, and Zuo Qingmu also needed to retreat and cultivate the Spirit Yuan, and no one would be able to deduce the new Spirit Gathering Prohibition for the Dragon Gate Sect in a short period of time.
Chen Xun also copied a copy of the refining method of the Xuanlei chariot and sent it to the Longmen Sect, which could be regarded as returning the Longmen Sect's previous help.
On the eve of Chen Xun, Zhao Chengen, and Gu Chengzhuo leaving Zhou Wushan, Tao Jinghong Zhenjun sent Luo Yuze over and called them over to speak.
"Cetianfu will do its best to help Chimei Zhenjun regain his cultivation," Tao Jinghong was in his temporary cave mansion, and there was no need to go around talking to Chen Xun and Zhao Chengen, and he told them some of the situation directly, "Although the Demon Ruin Mouth is guarded by the four sects at this time, there is no need to worry about how many monsters can enter the Demon Realm from the Thousand Demon Realm for the time being, but the Demon Clan who retreated to the Black Yin Ridge may pass through the wasteland west of Zhou Shanwu at any time and enter the Tushan North Ridge again - the Northwest Domain still lacks a Tianyuan Realm powerhouse to guard it. ”
Chen Xun looked at Zhao Chengen and Gu Chengzhuo, and the arrangement of Cetianfu did make sense.
Although Yunzhou has more than ten strong people in the human realm, all of them are the core figures of the sect, and it is difficult to say that there are more people who can go to the northwest region to sit in the town.
Besides, the powerhouses of the Heavenly and Human Realms are all standing high above all living beings, and they are god-like beings, who is willing to risk their lives to take over this drudgery in the Northwest Regions?
The best choice for the Heavenly Mansion is to help the Red Eyebrow True Monarch recover his cultivation in the realm of heaven and man in the shortest possible time.
Chen Xun frowned slightly, and asked Tao Jinghong: "Ce Tianfu didn't seem to be so generous before?"
"The Red Eyebrow True Monarch will join the Ce Tian Mansion, and when he recovers his cultivation, he will become one of the five true monarchs of the Ce Tian Mansion! The Ce Tian Mansion plans to rebuild the Northwest Domain Protectorate in Gushan, and at that time, the Red Eyebrow True Monarch will also defend the Northwest Territory on behalf of the Ce Tianfu!" Tao Jinghong said, "The Shenxiao Sect will no longer exist, and Gu Yangzi will open up the Guyang Sect in Mengshan......"
Chen Xun looked at Zhao Chengen and Gu Chengzhuo, and could see that their eyes were gloomy.
They were all disciples of the Shenxiao Sect, who would have thought that from now on, the Shenxiao Sect would cease to exist even nominally?
In the past, the four great heavenly and human realm true monarchs such as Jiang Mingtai, the lord of the mansion, had very little to do with the sect, and only owed allegiance to the imperial family.
Chen Xun didn't expect that the Red Eyebrow True Monarch would actually serve Jiang Mingtai and the Jiang Imperial Family, in exchange for the opportunity for the Ce Tianfu to fully support him to restore his cultivation.
Maybe in addition to the words of the Heavenly Mansion, he wanted to limit the excessive expansion of the Xuandu Sect's power, but this was definitely not good news for the Four Sects and the Canglan Marquis Mansion.
"Chen Xun, you can go to the guest residence of the Longmen Sect to practice, with your qualifications, it is most likely possible for Chang Xi and Chang Xi to enter the Faxiang realm......
Tao Jinghong is quite kind to his junior disciples, and Luo Yuze also dares to express his opinions in front of Tao Jinghong.
He thought to himself that if the four sects could have four or six Fa Zhen Realm powerhouses in the future, they might not be afraid of the suppression of the Red Eyebrow True Monarch in the Northwest Regions, and Chen Xun could be said to be the only remaining refining master in the Northwest Regions at this time, if he could live in the Dragon Gate Sect for a hundred years, it would be of great benefit to the Dragon Gate Sect.
"Chen Xun's cultivation is not within the sect. Tao Jinghong smiled slightly, although he took the initiative to mention inviting Chen Xun to practice in the Longmen Sect, but at this time, he took the initiative to block Luo Yuze's abrupt invitation for Chen Xun.
Luo Yuze smiled awkwardly, Song Xuanyi, Zhao Weichu and the others looked strange, they couldn't guess what Patriarch Zhenjun meant, could it be that they complained that Chen Xun had refused to live in the Longmen Sect before?
Chen Xun saluted Tao Jinghong, and they said goodbye and left with Zhao Chengen.
Chang Xi also had to follow Tao Jinghong back to the Longmen Sect to practice, and Chen Xun would not stay long when he returned to Wushan, so he simply separated in Zhou Wushan.
The casualties suffered by Canglan this time were mainly concentrated in the disciples of the four sects and the barbarian martial arts, but when the counties of Yunzhong, Yuanwu, and Gushan were almost completely eroded, tens of millions of barbarian tribesmen in Canglan did not suffer losses, and in fact, the foundation of the four sects and the Canglan Marquis Mansion did not suffer a single loss.
It was already three months after Chen Xun and the others returned to Tianzhu Peak, and the reinforcements of Cetianfu and Zhuzong had already withdrawn from the North Ridge of Tu Mountain.
At this time, the demons traveled tens of thousands of miles away to retreat to the Black Yin Ridge in the Northern Desolation Domain, and if they counterattacked the Demon Ruins, they would attack from the northern foot of Tu Mountain, and it might even be possible to detour south from the ice field north of Xiling.
This means that the four sects have to rearrange the defense of the northern front, discuss for many days, and finally decide that Gu Wentian will lead the Mengshan Sect to move to Xiling to re-establish the mountain gate.
At this time, the Yishan Sect, which was once invincible, was involved in collusion with monsters, and when Chen Xun and Chi Songzi repainted the mountain, Yi Qingquan, the elder of the Yishan Sect, disappeared.
Then the Yishan Sect fell apart, although Yiqinghu and the others did not collude with the monsters, but they were afraid of Chen Xun and the others liquidation, and they also fled to the depths of the Western Wilderness, and they have not heard of anything for nearly ten years.
At this time, the Tushan North Ridge, as well as the mountains and rivers within a radius of 10,000 miles west of the Tushan North Ridge, can be said to be the sphere of influence of the four sects.
The Four Sects and the Canglan Marquis Mansion invited the monks of the Northwest Regions who were in ruins and the monks who lived in various regions to enter Canglan to enrich the defense of the hinterland.
The north ridge of Tushan, the Canglan wasteland south of Wushan, the Huze wasteland to the north, the two wings of Xiling and the two wings of Yishan, are extremely rich in spiritual vein resources, but there are too few monks.
The four sects only delineated the scope of the sect in Tianzhu Peak, the middle foot of Xiling, the eastern foot of Wushan Mountain, and Yanxia Mountain, and selected more than 100 spiritual veins as a place to build a city or as a garrison fortress for the Canglan army. In addition, there are still four or five hundred spiritual veins and spiritual points in Canglan, which can be used by small and medium-sized sects, clans and scattered cultivators to gain a foothold.
However, the small and medium-sized sects, clans, and scattered cultivators who are required to move into these areas all need to accept the jurisdiction of the Canglan Marquis Mansion, and they need to send disciples to join the Canglan Army in proportion......
After Chen Xun returned from Zhouwu Mountain three months later, there were already nearly 100 small and medium-sized sects and clans that moved into Canglan from the ruined counties of Yuanwu, Yunzhong, and Gushan, and hundreds of thousands of refugees moved into Canglan with these sects and clans.
