The Great Wild God - Chapter 234
Chapter 234 Big Sect Pills
The stone room stood near the cliff. It was hastily constructed to set up a four-pillar Mountain River Array. It was several zhang wide, not even up to the standards of the Stone Hall. However, it had a wide field of vision and was able to see the situation around the Stone Village from a condescending position.
Apart from the four pillars of the Mountain River Formation, there were also eight Spirit Gathering Formations embedded on the walls of the stone room.
The basic spirit gathering restriction formation was created by Zuo Qingmu, but in the past few years, Zuo Qingmu’s limited energy had been spent on restoring magical artifacts and building city fortresses. The subsequent research and improvement of the spirit gathering restriction was far inferior to Chen Xun’s exquisite and in-depth research.
Compared to the Spirit Gathering Formation and the Spirit Gathering Mountain River Formation that Chen Xun could refine, the Spirit Gathering Formation embedded in the stone room was still in its infancy.
However, Black Rock Peak did not have spirit veins, spirit acupoints, sect diagrams, and Zuo Qingmu’s group relied on these eight Spirit Gathering Formations to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, barely able to support the four-pillar Mountain River Formation to deal with their strong enemies.
Everyone sat on the ground right in front of the Four Pillars Mountain and River Array. Chen Xun asked Zuo Qingmu, “What’s so special about the grand formation set up by the Blood Sword Sect in Tianma Lake?”
“A month ago, hundreds of fire boulders smashed into Northern Mountain City. Each one of them was comparable to a peak Reincarnation Realm cultivator’s full force attack. Northern Mountain City was destroyed in an instant,” Zuo Qingmu said worriedly. ‘”The two people from Blood Sword Sect who are fighting against you today have spiritual flags that can control fireballs and giant stone formations. I suspect that these two spiritual flags are part of the grand formation set up by Blood Sword Sect in Tianma Lake, and the entire grand formation of Blood Sword Sect will probably take tens or even hundreds of spiritual flags to set up …”
Chen Xun saw the topographic map of the surroundings of Tianma Lake hanging on the stone room wall. He knew that Grandpa Zongtu and the others had already considered the possibility of the Blood Sword Sect setting up a grand formation in Tianma Lake to attack Blackstone Peak.
Chen Xun frowned deeply. He had experienced the power of those two spirit flags before. It could be said that they were top-grade Advanced Magic Artifacts. If the Blood Sword Sect had set up a grand formation in Tianma Lake that consisted of over a hundred high-grade Advanced Magic Artifacts, then its power could be imagined.
According to Zuo Qingmu and the others’ descriptions, the grand formation set up by the Blood Sword Sect was no weaker than the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation set up by Qiyun Mountain in Crimson Maple Fort.
Although the attack power of the Fire Phoenix Flame Sea Formation decreased sharply as the distance increased, it could still attack objects twenty to thirty kilometers away.
The Bloodsword Sect had already dragged on for a month. It seemed that they needed time to make further adjustments to the Spirit Flag Array. After ten days, the direct attack on Blackrock Peak would be even more powerful.
Chen Xun asked Ge Yi, “Is there someone in the College guarding the White Wolf River?”
Ge Yi nodded and said, “In order to guard against the Yishan Sect and Mystical Frost Sect interfering in the war between the Blood Sword Sect and the Northern Mountain, it is impossible for the Academy not to hold back. However, I don’t know exactly who is in charge of the White Wolf River in the south.”
Ge Yi only had the cultivation of the True Yang Realm. Even if he had been ordered by Su Junyuan to join the Northern Mountain to fight against the Blood Sword Sect, it was impossible for him to know too many secrets.
Chen Xun sighed lightly. At this moment, he had thought about many things more thoroughly. Today, Beishan was forced to fight to the death with Blood Sword Sect. In fact, it was the continuation of the Battle of Jade Pillar Peak.
In the battle at Jade Pillar Peak, it was obvious that the Mysterious Frost Sect and the Su Clan were competing. The Yishan Sect was merely pushing things up behind the scenes. However, the matter of the Supreme Elder of the Yishan Sect, Yi Qingquan, cultivating the Origin Pill had not been spread in the slightest before the battle at Jade Pillar Peak. It could be seen that the Yishan Sect actually wanted to lure the Su Clan Patriarch from Azure Water City more than anyone else.
Who would have thought that Su Yuan, the ancestor of the Su Clan, would be able to endure until the last moment. When the Jade Pillar Peak collapsed, he would suddenly kill them. The deployment of the Profound Frost Sect would be beaten into pieces, and the plans of the Mount Yi Sect would fall into thin air.
The Su Clan’s ancestor, Su Yuan, although his cultivation at the early Yuan Dan stage had already passed its peak, his cultivation was slightly stronger than Yi Qingquan’s.
All sorts of schemes failed. At that time, there was no need for Yi Qingquan to show his face and fight Su Yuan to the death. Su Yuan also most likely sensed the existence of Yi Qingquan. He was unable to kill Mystical Frost Sect completely and was forced to make concessions.
On the surface, the battle at Yuzhu Peak caused both the Su Clan and Xuanhan Sect to suffer losses. Under the mediation of Yishan Sect, Yishan Sect had the overall advantage. Even Xuanhan Sect had the possibility of secretly supporting Yishan Sect. In recent years, Su Clan could only watch helplessly as Yishan Sect supported many sects to encroach on the surrounding Azure Wasteland.
Chen Xun could not help but sigh bitterly after sorting out the meridians. In the battle at Jade Pillar Peak, the one with the deepest calculations was the Mount Yi Sect that only two Empyrean Heavenly Yuan had managed to persuade him to make peace.
Apart from Su Tang, Su Wuyang could enter the Heavenly Yuan realm in the near future. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for the Su Clan to recover their disadvantage.
No wonder the Su Clan had been focusing on establishing good relations with the sects east of Tu Shan over the past few years. This was mainly because Su Yuan had made arrangements for the matters behind him.
The Bloody Sword Sect’s attack on the nine races of the Northern Mountain was suddenly launched three months ago. First, they set up a foothold on Little Lonely Peak, then Sword Ancestor Yang Zhu led many disciples to attack the gate of the Northern Mountain City.
Not to mention the grand formation set up by the Blood Sword Sect after advancing on Tianma Lake, just facing a Heavenly Yuan expert like Yang Zhu, it was difficult for the nine races of the Northern Mountain to be able to withstand it until today. In the end, Yang Zhu wanted to drive the people of the Northern Mountain away and take down the Northern Mountain without any bloodshed.
And once everyone in the Northern Mountain had the intention to kill each other, even if the Blood Sword Sect was able to take down the Northern Mountain, they would still have to pay a huge price.
Qianlan said, “Master and Commandant Su Wu’s Manor both hope that the nine races of the Northern Mountains will retreat to the south …”
If it weren’t for the Void Origin Secret Palace, the retreat of the nine races of the Northern Mountains was undoubtedly the best choice.
At the southern foot of Python Teeth Ridge, that was the Su Clan’s traditional control area.
Without the strength to resist the Bloodsword Sect’s onslaught in the North Mountain, the nine races of the North Mountain retreated south to the White Wolf River before officially accepting the protection of the Azure Water School.
However, if the nine races of the Northern Mountain retreated south, the Yishan Sect would completely control the lake wasteland. At that time, a large number of disciples of the Yishan Sect and their affiliated sects would pour into the lake wasteland, and they would definitely occupy the spirit acupoints. The spirit veins would be used to build palaces and fortresses, and the Void Origin Secret Palace under the cold pool would not be able to hide for many years.
Chen Xun looked at Grandpa Zongtu and Zuo Qingmu. He knew that they supported staying at Black Rock Peak, and he didn’t know how much pressure and suffering they had endured.
For this persistence, the nine races of the Northern Mountains had paid for the deaths of nearly a thousand disciples, including Zuo Chonggu, Zong Sang, and the others, and countless ordinary clansmen had been displaced.
“Pa” Thinking back to the tears of blood he had endured in the Northern Mountain for more than three months, Chen Xun couldn’t help but feel fury and sorrow in his heart. Unknowingly, he crushed the long table in front of him. “Undying Blood Sword Sect, I will never leave Python Fang Ridge in this life!”
Zuo Qingmu and Zong Tu had been resolute before. Ge Yi thought that if Chen Xun came back, he might be able to persuade them to change their minds, but he never thought that Chen Xun was determined to fight Blood Sword Sect to the death.
Ge Yi said, “Apart from the grand formation deployed along the Tianma Lake, there is a possibility that the Blood Sword Sect will directly attack the Black Rock Peak. During this period of time, there will also be a large number of rogue cultivators throwing themselves over …”
This time, he was a corpse who had been ordered by Commandant Su Wu’s Manor to join the Northern Mountain to guard Black Rock Peak. He had a deep friendship with Chen Xun and the people of the Northern Mountain, and he didn’t hesitate to die here. However, he still had something to say.
It was still too late to retreat. Once the Blood Sword Sect had completed its deployment, it would be easy for Zong Tu, Zuo Qingmu, and the others to break out of the encirclement. However, the tens of thousands of clansmen trapped in the stronghold, as well as the young disciples with low cultivation, would suffer unimaginable casualties.
Nan Liao frowned slightly and hesitated to say anything.
Chen Xun looked around. Only Grandpa Zongtu was present. Zuo Qingmu knew about the existence of the Void Origin Secret Palace and didn’t even know the exact location. The others didn’t know anything about the Void Origin Secret Palace, so it was normal for them to have differences over the protection and withdrawal of the Void Origin Secret Palace.
Looking at the expressions of Nan Liao, Zuoqiu, Tie Xintong, and the others, they were most likely the same as Qianlan and Ge Yi, all of whom supported retreating south.
Zong Ya, Gu Jianfeng, and the others stood firmly on Zong Tu and Zuo Qingmu’s side and would rather die than surrender.
Everyone’s minds were divided, and it couldn’t be considered a good thing for them to die ten days later.
Chen Xun took out ten pill boxes from his spatial ring and said, “I brought back twelve Nine Revolutions Golden Pills this time. Apart from Uncle Nan Liao, Ge Yi, Xinmei, and Zuoqiu, I will choose eight more disciples to see if there will be a few people who can break through the profound apertures within these ten days.”
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, Ge Yi, Zuoqiu, and the others’ expressions lifted.
At this moment, the Blood Sword Sect was very powerful. It was impossible for them to recruit rogue cultivators to protect Blackrock Peak. If they could break through the profound apertures and advance into the Reincarnation Realm at this critical moment, they would undoubtedly have a 10-20% chance of winning.
Nan Liao shook his head and said, “Even if I have a Nine Revolutions Golden Core, my chances of breaking through the profound aperture are still too low. Don’t waste a single Golden Core for nothing.”
Ge Yi also said, “I have a nephew named Ge Shi who has been cultivating with me since childhood. He is also in the Northern Mountain now, so he should have a better chance of breaking through the profound aperture than me …”
Over the past few years, there were more than a hundred peak True Yang Realm disciples cultivated by the nine races of the Northern Mountains. Nan Liao and Ge Yi had already passed the peak of their blood vitality, so their chances of breaking through their profound apertures with the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill were lower.
If he gave the opportunity to the younger generation, such as Nanxi and Ge Shi, if he could break through the profound aperture and advance into the Reincarnation Reincarnation Realm, his future cultivation achievements would be even greater.
Nan Liao and Ge Yi had cultivated for half a lifetime, so they naturally wanted to sprint. However, they had to consider the overall situation, and they didn’t want to record opportunities for young disciples.
Chen Xun pondered for a while, then shook his head and said to Nan Liao, “Uncle Nan Liao, I know that you also want to give this opportunity to Nan Xi. However, Nan Xi and Ge Shi should still have their chance in the future, so don’t decline this time. Even if you can’t break through the profound aperture, consuming the Golden Core will still be extremely beneficial. Your combat strength will be doubled within ten days …”
Chen Xun insisted. Nan Liao and Ge Yi didn’t say anything.
Many disciples of the nine races of the Northern Mountain had cultivated under Zuo Qingmu’s nose in the past few years. Everyone discussed for a long time before choosing Gu Feng and the others.
Although Zong Ling, Nan Xi, Ge Shi, and the others all had peak True Yang Realm cultivations, they were still lacking in Fire Marquis. It was not the best time to consume the Golden Core.
Chen Xun first handed the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill to Nan Liao, Ge Yi, Tie Xinmei, Zuoqiu, and the others. He told them to go down to the quiet room to sense the medicinal qi of the Golden Pill and prepare to charge into the profound aperture.
When Nan Liao, Ge Yi, Zuoqiu, and the others left, only Chen Xun, Zong Tu, Zuo Qingmu, Tie Xintong, Qing Xuan, Qianlan, Gu Jianfeng, and Zong Ya remained in the stone room. They were the only eight fetuses that could be gathered in the Northern Mountain.
“The Nine Revolutions Golden Pill is not a secret. This time, Shen Xiao took out a total of three to four hundred pills to reward his disciples. However, these six pill boxes must not be leaked out.” Chen Xun said solemnly. He took out the Grandpa Sect Diagram, Zuo Qingmu, Tie Xintong, Qianlan, Zong Ya, and Gu Jianfeng from his bosom …
Seeing Chen Xun being so solemn, Zong Ya took a pill box and opened it curiously. A wave of incomparably pure Spiritual Energy leaked out from the sealed jade pill box. He was shocked and asked Chen Xun, “What is this?”
“Qi and Blood Essence Pills,” Chen Xun said. “Qing Xuan had already consumed them in Mengshan.”
