Chapter 44: The Four Armies
The vast expanse of the heavens, influenced by the qi of heaven and earth, often forms all kinds of desperate places, and Thundercloud Island is only one of them.
Although Chen Xun can comprehend the heaven and earth qi machine, but the various mysteries involved behind the heaven and earth qi machine, not to mention him, even the characters of Emperor Xiwu and Tian Ancestor cannot be seen.
For more than ten days, Chen Xun and Jiang Lan, the king of Qing, inspected the topography of Leiyun Island and chose a deep gorge as the foundation of the mountain gate of Kuilong Pavilion.
The deep gorge is located in the deep ridge at the northern foot of Leiyun Island, resembling a dragon Jiao, so it is named Kuilong Gorge.
At this time, all the disciples of Wushan could only stay in the Golden Scale Boat, using the Purple Night Thunder Array to cover the qi.
And even if the dragon snake thunder array is deployed, considering that Thundercloud Island is such a fierce thunderstorm, the scope that can be covered is extremely limited, and most of the disciples still have to stay in Crescent City to cultivate, and only a few people such as Gu Xinyue and Zuo Aoki, as well as disciples who have cultivated to the Thunder Tempering Body Secret Method, will stay on Thundercloud Island to sit and practice......
In the northeast corner of Leiyun Island, King Qing chose a reef island with a radius of about 100 miles and shaped like a dragon's head as a garrison to prevent the Fengyang Clan from invading the sea area north of Leiyun Island again, and to protect the southern foot of Xuelong Mountain from the threat of the Fengyang Clan.
Su Junchen soon led 10,000 Divine Guards to enter Longshou Reef.
Although Meng Xiaoran also stayed on Thundercloud Island, he did not say when the two dragon snake thunder arrays would be delivered, Chen Xun and Su Junchen were old people, so they first rushed to Longshou Reef to meet Su Junchen to catch up.
Meng Xiaoran naturally followed to Longshou Reef.
Longshou Reef is located in the periphery of Leiyun Island, facing each other across the sea from Kuilong Gorge, less than a thousand miles apart, although the waves are vicious and the wind is raging, but it is less affected by the thunderstorm over Leiyun Island, it is more ideal for the army to be stationed.
Su Junchen had already cultivated to the late stage of the Law Phase Realm, and among the children of the Thirty-six Divine Generals Sect, the progress of his cultivation was extremely fast, but he was shocked to see that Chen Xun had not seen him for several years, and he had advanced by leaps and bounds, and he had already cultivated in the middle stage of the Law Phase Realm.
Chen Xun's cultivation is full of calculations, but it is less than a hundred years.
Su Junchen couldn't help but think, would Chen Xun be the third person to enlighten the Great Dao in Yunzhou for thousands of years, after Emperor Xiwu and the ancestor of the Tian family?
In addition to Wu Yi Zhenren, Chen Xun also saw that many of the children of the Su Clan, the Wei Clan, and the Wu Clan who had previously entered the Black Yin Ridge and participated in the Demon Punishment War appeared on Longshou Reef wearing the armor and robes of the Divine Guard Army.
Seeing this situation, Chen Xun asked Jiang Lan, the king of Qing: "The battle in Heiyinling is coming to an end, your lord, is this to successively integrate the soldiers and horses controlled by the prince into the Divine Guard?"
Jiang Lan nodded and said, "My father plans to officially set up the Cetian Mansion in Shanzhou, and I will also officially join the Cetian Mansion to serve." At the same time, the four armies of Lingtian, Shenwei, Fengshan, and Mingqi will all be transferred to Xuelong Mountain for reinforcement, and the Shenwei Army will be responsible for the defense of the southern foot of Xuelong Mountain, and they will be controlled by me......"
After the Red Eyebrow True Monarch was ambushed, there were only four people left in the Heavenly Mansion Monarch.
Although King Qing Jiang Lan is still half a step away from truly cultivating the body of a celestial, he is officially appointed to Cetianfu this time, and he can be regarded as the fifth monarch of Cetianfu.
It seems that Emperor Xiwu is really quite inclined to inherit the throne and rule Yunzhou by King Qing.
Originally, the soldiers and horses of King Qing's Mansion were all incorporated into the Divine Guard, and they were controlled by King Qing together, and Emperor Xiwu actually acquiesced in the Divine Guard Army from then on, and it was King Qing's private army from then on.
King Qing really wants to inherit the throne, and the Divine Guard Army will also be the foundation for him to rule Yunzhou.
"Chen Xun congratulates you!" Chen Xun said, he naturally hopes that King Qing can inherit the throne of Yunzhou, and hopes that there will be no demon moths among them.
"The three armies of Lingtian, Fengshan, and Mingqi, this time the gods have incorporated a large number of strong people into the clan, so as to ensure that each army has two or three strong people in the Heavenly and Human Realm, and there are countless disciples in the Yuan Dan Realm," King Jiang Lan smiled with a slightly bitter smile, "Only the Divine Guard Army is responsible for the garrison of the southern foot of Snow Dragon Mountain, and its strength is still the weakest. ”
In the past twenty or thirty years, the Su clan, the Wei clan, and the Wu clan have all had a large number of disciples who entered the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to cultivate, and then participated in the battle of the Black Yin Ridge with the son Jiang Nanke, sharpening their Dao heart and fighting spirit.
If these children are incorporated into the Divine Guard Army in batches, it will greatly increase the combat power of the Divine Guard, but this kind of improvement is far less than Emperor Xiwu's direct integration of a large number of Yuandan Realm, Faxiang Realm, and even Heavenly and Human Realm powerhouses into the three armies of Lingtian, Fengshan, and Mingqi.
Although the southern foot of Xuelong Mountain will be threatened by the Fengyang Clan, if Lanzhou wants to expand outward, it must advance along Xuelong Mountain to the two wings and the wasteland at the northern foothills.
The defense of the two wings of Xuelong Mountain and the direction of the northern foot is in charge of the three armies of Lingtian, Fengshan, and Mingqi, and the main force that will follow Emperor Xiwu to expand the territory in the future is also these three armies.
From this point of view, Chunling Jun Jiang Jun asked if he would not return to Yunzhou, but he stayed in Xuelong Mountain, and he was determined to gain a foothold on Thundercloud Island, Wushan, which was definitely not good news.
Although Xu Zhilong misjudged the shape and mistakenly thought that the Jiang clan would use other people's hands to clear Wushan, in fact, he was forced to leave after Emperor Xiwu appeared, but this also shows that Xu Zhilong, Gu Yuzhang and others had a deep understanding of the intricate relationship in Yunzhou before.
These things, if there are no deliberate leaks in Shanzhou, they cannot be deduced by heaven alone.
Whoever reported to the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Chen Xun believed that Chunling Jun, like the Tian clan and Yuanwu Marquis Jiang Zhen, would very much want to see Wushan suffer a major setback on Thundercloud Island.
Jiang Jun asked this person to be narrow-minded, the power of the Lingtian Army has been greatly strengthened this time, which is undoubtedly a role that is a headache for him, and even if Emperor Xiwu is willing to inherit the throne of Yunzhou by King Qing, it is obviously impossible to be inclined to the Divine Guard Army who is destined to return to Yunzhou with King Qing in the future.
Closer to the inside, the Divine Guard Army is responsible for the defense of the southern foot of the Snow Dragon Mountain at this time, and far away, the Divine Guard Army will be the foundation of King Qing's rule of Yunzhou in the future, and the stronger the strength, the more powerful it will be to resist the Demon Tribulation, and it is impossible for Chen Xun not to support the development of the Divine Guard.
Although Chen Xun hoped in his heart that the four sects of Wushan could break away from secular society, for now, there was no such possibility.
There is no free lunch in the world, and Kuilong Pavilion has to rely on the protection of Emperor Xiwu and the Jiang clan at this time to gain a foothold on Thundercloud Island, and there is no position to stand idly by in the future wars between Emperor Xiwu and the Jiang clan and the Fengyang clan, Fenghou, Dahong and other clans.
And the disciples of Wushan, who are really interested in cultivating and seeking immortality, are a minority after all, and the vast majority of disciples come from the secular society, and if they are successful in cultivation, they will inevitably return to the secular society to establish a clan and seek a prince.
Canglan is a small area, and even if the Ji clan can establish a country in Canglan in the future, it is already the limit to be able to set up more than a dozen counties.
If you don't want to breed too many ambitions to expand outward, it may be the best choice for disciples who want to establish a clan in the secular society and seek a prince to join the Divine Guard Army to make contributions.
Hearing Chen Xun say this, King Qing Jiang Lan laughed and said, "It's a pity that you concentrate on cultivation, otherwise you and Junchen will command the Divine Guard, and this monarch will really be like a tiger......
Su Junchen naturally didn't want Chen Xun to enter the Divine Guard Army and compete with him for power, but if the disciples of Wushan broke away from the sect and joined the Divine Guard, they could greatly improve the combat power of the Divine Guard.
Wushan has risen too fast, unlike the Longmen Sect and the Xuandu Sect, which have been inherited for tens of thousands of years, but over the years, in the various demon wars, the strong combat power embodied by the Wushan disciples is really impressive.
Chen Xun said: "Observing the demeanor of Emperor Xi Wu and the predecessors of the Heavenly Dao Sect on Thundercloud Island before, Chen Xun really realized how small he was, and he was really a frog at the bottom of the well in the past. This time, I also handed over all the affairs of the sect to Zuo Shi and Shousi to take care of them, and no longer held the position of head of the sect. The battle on the Black Yin Ridge side is coming to an end, and the Divine Guard may have a demand for equipment such as the Blue Flame Lotus Arrow, the Xuanlei Chariot, and the Battle Boat, and the Kuilong Pavilion can also supply it......"
"Good, good......" King Qing laughed.
Qing King Jiang Lan didn't understand why his father didn't hesitate to make friends with the Heavenly Dao Sect and save Chen Xun at first.
Regardless of whether Chen Xun had personal ambitions or not, his cultivation of the Heavenly Dao True Dragon was always a threat to the Jiang family.
The Jiang clan couldn't get rid of Chen Xun directly, but Chen Xun died at the hands of Xu Zhilong of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and no one could complain about the Jiang clan.
Now seeing that Chen Xun not only agreed to give a heaven and earth-level mountain protection magic array to the Divine Guard, agreed that the disciples of Wushan would join the Divine Guard Army to make meritorious contributions, but also agreed to supply the Divine Guard Army with sharp weapons such as Qingyan Lotus Arrows on a large scale, it seems that the father can tolerate Chen Xun, but it is not a disadvantage.
The Blue Lotus Flame Arrow formed an arrow array, although it was difficult to pose a threat to the Nirvana Realm True Monarch Giant, but those who had really seen the power of the Blue Lotus Arrow Array would never say that the Blue Lotus Flame Arrow was a useless thing.
Although the power of the rune thunder arrow refined by Ce Tianfu is not below the Qinglian Flame Arrow, in addition to the complexity of the rune thunder arrow, the materials consumed by the rune thunder arrow are more than ten times that of the Qinglian Flame Arrow, which is obviously difficult to use on a large scale.
Qing Wang Jiang Lan thought in his heart, even if his father didn't make a move, Chen Xun had already cultivated into the Heavenly Dao True Dragon, and the soldiers were killed, and a wisp of consciousness remnant soul could still be attached to the Heavenly Dao True Dragon and return to Wushan through the void.
Meng Xiaoran stood beside him, not knowing what King Jiang Lan was thinking, but when he heard them mention the topic of refining, he laughed and said, "Kuilong Pavilion is a refining sect, if you want to have any excellent magic weapons, you can put them in our Juzhen Pavilion to sell them......"
There are three major chambers of commerce in the Xixuan Continent, and the Meng Clan's Juzhen Pavilion is a member of the Six Dao Chamber of Commerce, and it has branches in many forces on the south bank of the Storm Sea, trading various cultivation resources such as magic weapons and pills with many clans and sect forces.
Like the Dragon Snake Thunder Array, which does not seem to be extremely strong, but is extremely suitable for Thundercloud Island, Emperor Xiwu may not be able to get it in person, but Juzhen Pavilion has a channel to easily get it.
Whether it was the Jiang clan or the Tian clan, the vast majority of the many heavenly magic weapons before were obtained from the Juzhen Pavilion.
The Jiang clan seems to have only built a city in Xuelong Mountain, but behind the Jiang clan is in control of the seven small and medium-sized heavenly domains in Yunzhou, and the cultivation resources that can be collected are extremely considerable, which is also the reason why Meng Xiaoran, as the true descendant of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the third son of the Meng clan master, personally sat in Lanzhou and presided over the Juzhen Pavilion in Shanzhou.
Chen Xun thought of further repairing the Dutian Detention Demon Flag, and many other precious materials such as fire essence gold, and it was most convenient to collect them in the Treasure Pavilion.
Of course, if you can't have a very close cooperative relationship with the Treasure Pavilion, and want to ask the Treasure Pavilion to collect the Treasure Pavilion to collect the Treasure Pavilion or the best magic weapons and magic circles, the cost is also amazing.
Now that Meng Xiaoran took the initiative to mention this, Chen Xun smiled slightly and said, "Kui Long Pavilion is only a small sect of Yunzhou refining weapons, and the magic weapons that are refined, I'm afraid that Brother Meng can't look down on it." ”
"How come?" Meng Xiaoran said with a smile, he didn't look down on the refining sect of the small domain before, but after getting to know Wushan a little, he was really shocked.
Meng Xiaoran is not good at refining magic weapons, but since he represents the Meng clan out of town, his vision is outstanding.
At this time, although Kui Long Pavilion was not yet able to refine the Heavenly Weapon Magic Weapon, its ability to refine low-level magic weapons and magic circles was really no worse than the second- and third-rate refining sects of Tianjun.
Even in Tianjun, it is also the low-level magic weapon and magic circle that are in the greatest demand, and since Kui Long Pavilion has such an ability in refining weapons, it has the qualifications to cooperate with Juzhen Pavilion.
Meng Xiaoran wanted to talk about this topic in depth, but saw Chen Xun frowning slightly, and Zhuo looked at the sky in the distance.
After a while, Chen Xun saw the white-robed sword cultivator Lian Changhai, who had appeared on Thundercloud Island a few years ago, break through the thunderclouds, and his body was frozen in mid-air, his pupils showed a faint golden glow, he glanced at Chen Xun, raised the storage bag in his hand, and said to Meng Xiaoran:
"The two dragon snake thunder arrays are here, where are the two Xuantian disks?"
"It's rare for me to have a chance to get together with Senior Brother Lian, why does Senior Brother Lian come and go in a hurry?" Meng Xiaoran asked.
"If I hadn't been unlucky enough to be bumped into by Uncle Xu and caught by him to run errands, I would have gone to Haixu a long time ago. Lian Changhai said impatiently.
"Taiyuan Immortal Hall was born?" Meng Xiaoran suddenly remembered something and opened his mouth to ask.
