The Great Wild God - Chapter 417
Chapter 417 Cang Lan Thrives
Looking at the disciples of the Nine Clans of the Northern Mountain who were standing next to each other in the courtyard, Chen Xun remembered the bloodshed and hardships of the past few decades. He was filled with emotions, but when he thought of rushing back, other than helping Uncle Nan Liao refine the medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill, he didn’t have the chance to properly deal with the current situation of the nine races of the Northern Mountains. He left the patriarchs of the various clans behind to let the other disciples return first.
After the Battle of the Thousand Devil Sand Sea, Under the protection of the four sects, Cang Lan had won the opportunity to rest peacefully for nearly 30 years. To the west of Tu Mountain, a large-scale city was built on both sides of Mountain Parasol to regulate rivers, build water conservancy projects, and reward farming and grazing. This greatly changed the way the Wildlands tribes used to rely on the heavens for survival. Adequate food supplies naturally caused an explosive increase in the population.
These past few years, Zong Ya, Zong Ling, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng, Gu Feng, and the others had all held positions in Marquis Canglan. Qianlan had also been cultivating in the Thousand Swords Sect all year round. Zuo Qingmu specialized in artifact forging, and the affairs of the nine races of the Northern Mountains were presided over by a group of elders, including Nan Liao.
Nan Liao’s idea was very simple. If the clan wanted to prosper and prosper, one word was “live”.
Only great and special beings could prosper, and their clans could be passed down from generation to generation.
Ever since the Desolate Ancient Era, there had been hundreds of millions of cultivators, and those who could live forever were nothing more than Liao Liao. Only bloodline inheritance was a serious matter.
Zong Ling, Gu Jianfeng, Gu Feng, and the others were forced by Nan Liao to marry and have children; Zong Ya was extremely annoyed. He and Tie Xinmei formed a Dao-companion. Both of their sons had just reached adulthood. One of them stayed in the Zong Clan and the other was adopted as the first wife of Tie Xintong, who had no intentions of marrying him.
Although Nan Xi had died in a devilish calamity in Divine Night Sect, before Chen Xun left for Divine Night Sect, he had been forced by Nan Liao to marry a direct niece of Zuo Qingmu. Nan Xingyi was the descendant of Nan Xi.
Over the years, Nan Liao’s grief at losing his son was something he loved to talk about.
As a result, the people from the Northern Mountain who were closest to Chen Xun, along with the direct descendants of the second and third generations, numbered more than a hundred.
Fortunately, before Chen Xun returned to Mountain Parasol, he had already made preparations. Otherwise, he might not even be able to gather all the gifts for the meeting.
“Ah Xun, when will you have children with Miss Qing Xuan?” As they chatted, Nan Liao directly changed the topic to Chen Xun.
Chen Xun was slightly stunned. He turned his head to look at Qing Xuan’s blushing face, but he couldn’t blame Uncle Nan Liao for being straightforward. It was only by sitting behind the jade table and not looking at anyone that he thought that Qing Xuan had been his concubine for a long time, but she hadn’t slept with him in 30 years. He truly felt extremely resentful. He asked through his spiritual will, “How strong have you cultivated the Su Nu Jade Pill Art?”
Qing Xuanshui’s beautiful eyes swept across Chen Xun, but she didn’t pay him any attention.
Chen Xun’s heart skipped a beat. He thought that Jiang Bingyun hadn’t followed him back to Mountain Parasol this time. No matter how hard Qing Xuan tried, she wouldn’t be able to escape from his palm. He immediately suppressed the charm in his heart and said seriously to the crowd, “Move out the mortal disciples of Wu Shan City in the past few days, and prepare to seal the mountain …”
Wu Shan City had never expanded in size. It was mainly inhabited by the disciples of the nine races of the Northern Mountain. There were roughly 50,000 to 60,000 people. It wasn’t difficult to move to the cities in the south of the mountain. What surprised everyone was that Chen Xun was about to seal the mountain when he returned. He must have something important to plan.
Before Crimson Song Zi, Ji Lie, Zhao Cheng’en, Gu Wentian, Ji Dong Ze, and the others arrived, everyone didn’t ask any further questions. Everything was arranged according to Chen Xun’s instructions.
The Heavenly Star Dragon Interception Formation on the core of the Azure Dragon Ridge was an Intermediate Sealing Grade Mountain Protection Formation, so it was also convenient to seal mountains.
Chen Xun said, “Mountain Sealing.” After activating the Heavenly Star Dragon Severing Formation, the defensive spirit shield spread out and enveloped the mountains within a radius of two hundred kilometers. On the other hand, the several defensive barriers built by the Xuanyin Heavy Water Formation had been transferred into twenty Xuanlei Chariots and two thousand elite archers to block the passage into and out of the Azure Dragon Ridge.
******************
The medicinal power of the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill transformed into a golden radiance within Qing Xuan’s body. It was so dense that it was like a golden spiritual liquid that it surged like a spring tide in her spiritual veins and spiritual sea.
After the jade pill that Qing Xuan had cultivated for 30 years had been cremated by Chen Xun’s True Yang, the pure jade pill spirit essence had condensed into the primordial spirit of the Flame Sparrow. There were faint clouds gathering on the spirit sea, and there were faint signs of condensing the pill.
It could be seen that in the past few years since he left Mountain Parasol, Qing Xuan had not relaxed for a single moment and was concentrating on her hard work.
“For the time being, you can’t completely refine the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill for your own use. The medicinal power will still deposit in your Hundred Bones Aperture Meridians. Although I can help you refine the medicinal power, you can’t forget to cultivate hard in the next few years.” Chen Xun whispered in Qing Xuan’s ear.
Qing Xuan’s jade dimple was red and hot. She thought to herself, this bastard’s meat peg was still stuck in her body, and her hands were still rubbing her elastic buttocks. How could she have the face to say these words righteously?
In this manner, waves of numb and uncontrollable itchiness started to appear, and her soul was about to scatter. How could she calmly refine the medicinal power?
“Do you want me to help you refine the medicinal power again?” Chen Xun asked.
Qing Xuan supported Chen Xun’s naked chest with her hand. To stand up from his embrace, Her delicate body rose slightly, but she heard a soft “pu” sound. It was like she was pulling open the bottle cap that was tightly shut. Seeing Chen Xun’s cheeky smile, Qing Xuan sat back shyly. Her entire body was so soft that she didn’t even have the slightest bit of strength. At the same time, she felt a large amount of aphrodisiac gushing out. She didn’t have the courage to look up at Chen Xun’s smug face.
“Martial Uncle Crimson Pine is almost at the Azure Dragon Ridge. Stop messing around with me.” Qing Xuan buried her scalding head in Chen Xun’s thick chest and whistled.
Previously, Chen Xun had helped Qing Xuan refine the medicinal power. Although it fits, he didn’t let go of his hands and feet to enjoy it. Seeing that Qing Xuan was extremely charming, he still wanted to indulge in pleasure. However, he could vaguely hear Zuo Qingmu calling out to everyone outside the valley. He could only stand up with Qing Xuan’s soft, jade-like body in his arms. With a stretch of his hands, his messy robes automatically flew onto his body.
At this time, Zuo Qingmu and the others welcomed Gu Wentian into the Azure Dragon Ridge.
“Chen Xun has been cultivating bitterly since he came back. He is still in seclusion, so I would like to invite Sect Leader Gu and his wife to the mountain gate for a rest.”
“Are you coming with me to welcome Gu Wentian and his wife?” Chen Xun lowered his head and asked Qing Xuan.
Hearing Zuo Qingmu say this outside the mountain gate, how could Qing Xuan have the nerve to go out with Chen Xun to welcome the guests? What kind of bitter cultivation was she and Chen Xun?
Qing Xuan put on her clothes and gathered her crow-colored hair to the side. Like a waterfall in a spirit spring, her entire body shone brightly. She suppressed her embarrassment and pushed Chen Xun out of the door. She sat back in front of the dressing mirror and recalled the feeling of being drunk just now. She thought that this moment was worth tens of years of guarding her body like jade.
Chen Xun spoke to everyone in the hall. Qing Xuan eavesdropped. After a while, she remembered to check the changes in her body after she merged with Chen Xun. However, when she looked at her apertures carefully, she was shocked. Other than the signs of condensing pills, the Spiritual Essence in her apertures was actually more condensed than before. Even if she had spent thirty to fifty years in the Azure Dragon Ridge, it might not be able to condense to this extent.
What was even more shocking was that the spirit veins in her body had actually been refined again. It was extremely puzzling. Didn’t she say that after advancing to the Heavenly Yuan Realm, there was no possibility of cleansing and opening a spirit vein?
Only then did Qing Xuan realize how precious the Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill Chen Xun had given her was. Opening up an additional spirit vein meant that she would be able to cultivate many restricted profound arts and dao techniques in the future.
********************
Chen Xun could be said to have returned from his trip to the Star Falling Sea with full load, but it would not be easy to digest all of Mountain Long’s gains and greatly increase the strength of the four sects and the Azure Water Marquis Manor.
Old Kui’s spirit flesh had completely fused together, and it would not be easy to reconstruct his body.
After Chen Xun’s body nearly collapsed, he still consumed a large amount of spirit medicine and jade liquid to recover his previous cultivation. The Old Kui’s dragon skeleton was a million times larger than Chen Xun’s. Even if the Void Origin Spirit Land completely converted spirit energy, it was far from enough for Old Kui to reconstruct his body.
Lao Kui would then cultivate in seclusion in the underground palace at the foot of the Azure Dragon Ridge Mountain.
Even if the seven spiritual veins in the Azure Dragon Ridge’s hinterland gathered into the underground palace, Old Kui would still need a hundred years to regain his physical body. Only then would he be able to truly recover to the early Heavenly Human Realm.
In addition, the Void Origin Spirit Land had expanded to its limit.
The Azure Parasol Seed in Su Tang’s hand had already been planted in the Void Origin Pearl, but it was still unknown when it would break through its shell and sprout. Before this, the expansion of the Void Origin Spirit Land had already reached its limit.
After the Void Origin Spirit Ground split into four small continents, they gathered around the Mirage Dragon bones to form a ring-shaped ridge. However, the entire process was extremely unstable, and the periphery would occasionally collapse once in a while.
Chen Xun, Chang Xi, Gu Xinyue, and Old Kui had studied it for a long time and speculated that if the Void Origin Spirit Land could form a stable ridge and spirit land, it would require a large amount of spiritual energy from the Azure Dragon Ridge to maintain the balance of spiritual energy within the Void Origin Territory.
In other words, Chen Xun would have to leave the Void Yuan Pearl at the Azure Dragon Ridge for a long time, so that he could steadily introduce the spiritual energy of a spirit vein and maintain the balance of the spiritual energy within the Void Yuan Realm.
How long this process would last, and when the Mirage Dragon Bone would completely merge with the Void Origin Spirit Lands and transform into the Spiritual Earth Ridge, Chen Xun couldn’t say for sure at this moment.
In the nearly 30 years since Chen Xun left Mount Wushan for the Starfall Calendar, Crimson Pine, Ji Lie, Gu Wentian, and the others had made tremendous contributions to Canglan with the help of the Four Sects and the Azure Water Marquis Manor. They had more than 100 million people, built more than a thousand city villages, and developed more than 500 mines, and the Azure Water Armored Guards had expanded to 300,000 people, including 50,000 elite archers.
The total number of disciples of the Azure Water School increased to 100,000. In the past 30 years, another 3,000 disciples of the Reincarnation Realm had been sent to the four sects, the Azure Water Marquis Manor, the Armor Guards, and the cities. As a result, the number of Reincarnation Realm cultivators that Cang Lan possessed had reached an unprecedented 5,000.
This was something that was completely unimaginable during the Su Clan’s rule over Canglan.
Zhou Yang was in charge of the Weapon Refining Division in the Azure Water Marquis Manor, and he was in charge of the forging of armor machines and low-grade magical artifacts. The total number of laborers and craftsmen was over 20,000.
On the other hand, the Kui Long Pavilion was mainly responsible for the refinement of defensive-level magic formations. The Profound Thunder Chariot, Profound Water Chariot, and Mountain River Chariot were all cast by the Equipment Refining Division, and the Kui Long Pavilion was responsible for refining the formation restrictions into them.
The orderly division of labor and cooperation allowed the Kui Long Pavilion to refine three hundred chariots in less than thirty years.
The core disciples of the Kui Long Pavilion had always been around a hundred, but in the past 30 years, they had sent a large number of artificers and array mages to the Weapon Refining Division.
This was also the Immortal Mortal Separation System that Chen Xun had discussed with Crimson Pine Tzu, Ji Lie, and Gu Wentian.
The four sects only retained a small number of core disciples to ensure that their elite combat strength would guard the four corners of the Azure Water Valley, and their secular power would mainly be concentrated in the Azure Water Marquis’ Manor.
Regardless of whose clan it was, they would first be sent to the Azure Water College to cultivate. After passing the selection, they would be able to enter the four sects for further cultivation together with the commoners.
As for the disciples cultivated in the four sects, they could no longer stay in the sect like other sects. When they were in a good mood, they could only go out to experience and cultivate. After cultivating for several years, all the disciples had to leave the sect to serve in the Azure Water Marquis Manor, the various cities, and the army. Unless there were signs of a breakthrough, they could return to the sect to cultivate in seclusion.
The positions of Marquis Azure Water Manor and the various cities and generals of the various armies were no longer controlled by the local clans or sect disciples as they used to be. Instead, they were completely appointed by the Marquis Azure Water Manor.
Clans, small and medium-sized sects, and Xungui Clan only restricted their participation in local affairs below the various cities.
It was also this kind of system that allowed Cang Lan to achieve such tremendous achievements in less than thirty years.
Otherwise, how could commoners with ordinary bodies tame the flooded rivers in such a short period of time, build so many cities, dig so many mines, and forge so many weapons?
After Chen Xun left Mountain Parasol, Ji Lie, Crimson Pine, Ji Dongze, Gu Wentian, and the others had made tremendous achievements. They had also paid a great price for this.
In the past 30 years, Ji Dongze’s cultivation hadn’t advanced a single step. At this moment, he was already a middle-aged man with two white bristles.
Crimson Pine Child, Gu Wentian, Ji Lie, and the others’ cultivation levels were all extremely limited.
