The Great Wild God - Chapter 452
Chapter 452 The Secret of Heavenly Flame
The Golden Scaled Ship descended from the valley in front of the stone ridge. Su Shousi raised his head and saw the ancient seal inscribed with the words “Qingwu Ridge” on the cliff. He knew that Chen Xun was using this place to commemorate the Divine Night Mountain Range that had been destroyed by the demonic dragon.
Many disciples carefully removed the sealed seedlings from the Golden Scaled Ship and said, “Fire Copper Tree, Cliff Moss, Fire Scaled Vine Grass, Scarlet Sun Grass.” Su Shousi said to Chen Xun, “After Mountain Parasol received your message, he searched through the Earth Fire Caves in Tu Shan. However, there are only a few plants that can grow in the Earth Fire Caves. We have brought some seedlings here, and we don’t know if they will survive …”
The Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiend in the Heavenly Furnace World was much stronger than the Earth Fire Cave in the depths of Mount Tu even after a large amount of leakage. It was unlikely that it would be able to find plants suitable for the growth of the Heavenly Furnace World in Cloud Continent.
Even a very small number of fire-type plants, such as the Fire Copper Tree, Cliff Moss, Fire Scaled Vine Grass, and Scarlet Sun Grass, were unable to directly grow outside.
However, Chen Xun had already found several valleys in Qingwu Ridge that contained Spiritual Qi. Although the Spiritual Qi was extremely sparse, it was still better than nothing. With the three Golden Scaled Ships as the core, he could barely cover three valleys within a radius of several kilometers. If it was in Cloud Continent, the area covered would be a thousand times wider than here.
As a result, these fire-resistant plants and vegetation could barely grow in these three valleys. They were not so vast that they could not even see the slightest bit of vegetation.
Compared to King of Qing, which stretched for two to three thousand kilometers, the three small valleys in the depths of Qingwu Ridge could be said to be just a tiny bit of land, but they were the main passes where everyone would be stationed for hundreds or even thousands of years to come.
Could it be that the Heavenly Flame Astral Fiend had leaked into the endless void in large quantities, and the entire Heavenly Volcano might not be able to find a few such “livable treasures”?
Su Tang and Qing Xuan stepped down from the golden scale ship and looked at the erupting pillars formed by hundreds of millions of tons of magma, endless red lotus depressions, and the crimson blood thunder hacking down from the edge of the spatial rift. Their hearts trembled for a moment. They didn’t expect the Heavenly Furnace World to have such a wondrous scene.
Some disciples with low cultivation were dumbstruck when they saw this scene. They were slightly worried and whispered, “If this lightning and flames spread out, who can withstand it?”
Chen Xun listened to these discussions and only smiled. He remembered that when he first entered the Azure Water School, if he encountered such emotions, he might not be as calm as these young disciples.
Zong Ya stood beside Chen Xun and said, “Few of these people have experienced the devastating calamity of the past and have never seen the world before. It’s ridiculous to say such things. I originally wanted to transfer the disciples from the Black Yin Ridge. Adept Crimson Pine, Adept Ji, think about it and send another batch of disciples over. I wonder if you’re satisfied.”
King of Qing promised that Cang Lan could transfer three thousand elites to the Divine Guards Army, but before confirming that the evolution of heaven and earth could give birth to Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos, there was no need to transfer so many people in.
This time, Zong Ya’s 1,000 top soldiers were actually disciples with decent aptitudes selected from the Azure Water School. They were first incorporated into the Divine Guards and entered the Heavenly Furnace World.
The Void Origin Pearl that was left in Mountain Parasol was currently being ridged with the corpse of a mirage dragon. The Primordial Chaos breath produced by the Spiritual Ground was definitely purer and more concentrated than the Heavenly Furnace World.
However, the Void Origin Realm was too small. At this moment, only a few dozen people from the four sects would enter the Void Origin Realm to cultivate in seclusion on the eve of breaking through the bottleneck. They would be baptized by the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos and would not be able to benefit the 100,000 disciples of the Azure Water School, let alone the 300,000 Azure Water Armored Guards.
As the Heavenly Furnace World evolved, the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos would be shared by the boundless mountains, rivers, and valleys. It would not be as concentrated as it was in the Void Origin Realm, and it was precisely because of this that it was not limited by the number of people.
Chen Xun and King of Qing had asked for a quota of three thousand people. He planned to transfer the disciples of the Azure Water School into the Heavenly Furnace World to cultivate in batches. This was only the reason. Only Zong Ya, Su Wuyang, and a few others knew about it.
Although it was impossible to conceal the news for long, the longer it was concealed, the more advantageous it would be for them and King of Qing’s Jiang Lan faction.
This time, Chen Xun also planned to disperse all three hundred of Su Wuyang’s soldiers and mix them with the thousand soldiers led by Zong Ya.
Chen Xun had been officially appointed as the commander of the 17th battalion of the Divine Guards Corps, while Zong Ya and Su Wuyang were appointed as deputy commanders.
Although the 17th Battalion only had 1,200 first-rate soldiers, there were more than 300 who possessed cultivation at or above the Reincarnation Realm.
After Zong Ya cultivated the Origin Pill, his spiritual will was barely able to transform into a hundred. With the help of another twelve Heaven Origin Cultivators who had truly cultivated the Origin Spirit and had a strong spiritual sense, they could use him as the core to form the Profound Evolution Grand Formation.
With the help of the Golden Scaled Warship and 200 elite archers equipped with Green Flame Lotus Arrows, Zong Ya led his troops to form a frontal formation. Even if Lord Crimson Brow were to attack head-on, they would still have the power to fight.
In this way, Chen Xun would be able to escape, and there was no need for him to defend the encampment.
When Su Tang and Qing Xuan came over, they were mainly Su Tang’s spirit beast, Qing Luan, and Qing Xuan’s spirit beast, Firefox. They were both extremely suitable for cultivating in the Heavenly Furnace World.
In addition, apart from the two of them cultivating the Blue Lotus Flame Art, there were also dozens of disciples who cultivated the Blue Lotus Flame Art. They all joined their sect. This time, they took advantage of this rare opportunity to enter the Heavenly Furnace World to cultivate.
By placing King of Qing under Chen Xun’s command, Qingwu Ridge was tantamount to placing Qingwu Ridge under Chen Xun’s control in the Heavenly Furnace World’s fiefdoms and sentinel fortresses. Naturally, Chen Xun would have to figure out a way to solve the problem of the thousands of soldiers, laborers, and craftsmen that Chen Xun had used up in the Heavenly Furnace World.
This consumption wasn’t a little bit.
Not to mention participating in the battle, if ordinary soldiers wanted to survive in such a harsh environment, more than 1,200 soldiers, more than a hundred disciples of the four sects, as well as a large number of laborers and craftsmen, they would need at least 100,000 low-grade spirit pills a year to maintain their basic consumption.
Su Shousi was required to lead the logistics replenishment work. Su Shousi also temporarily served as deputy commander.
Regardless of how many people Su Junchen and Su Muchen had sent over from Yu Zhou, and regardless of how many disciples and soldiers the other clans and sects attached to King of Qing had sent into the Heavenly Furnace World, Chen Xun still needed four or five Origin Pill Taoist to prop up the situation.
Otherwise, under the banner of King of Qing, how could Chen Xun sit on equal footing with others?
*********************
Many soldiers and disciples temporarily settled down. Su Shousi invited Chen Xun into the secret cabin of the Golden Scaled Ship. He took out a letter talisman from his bosom and said, “This secret talisman seals a miraculous scene that appeared in the Thousand Demon Sand Sea a year ago. Adept Crimson Pine specifically instructed that apart from the Sect Master, it must be kept absolutely secret from others, so please enter the secret cabin and watch …”
Chen Xun squeezed open the talisman puzzledly. He didn’t know why he had to be so mysterious, but he saw the talisman transform into a streak of profound light that floated into the air. Soon, it transformed into a sea of thousands of demonic sand. The mountains that Chen Xun was familiar with appeared in the secret cabin.
With the change of vision, the scene quickly shifted to the sky above the Thousand Devil Sand Sea. A fire cloud surged out from the void. A few passing Scaled Vultures flew into the fire cloud without knowing what was going on. In an instant, they were burned to ashes, leaving behind a few pieces of ash-like residues scattered down from the sky.
This scene caused Chen Xun’s heart to tremble, and he couldn’t help but ask in shock, “When did the Fire Cloud appear?”
“The day after the volcanic eruption mentioned in the sect master’s letter, a disciple of the Divine Night Haoran Sect discovered a fire cloud above the Thousand Devil Sand Sea,” Su Shousi said. “However, it quickly dissipated. It was not enough to reproduce the image of the Thousand Mile Flame Sea covering the Tu Mountain in the Thousand Devil Sand Sea.”
Chen Xun couldn’t help but sigh in shock as he asked Su Shousi, “I really didn’t expect that Tu Shan’s Heavenly Flame would actually be born this way. How many disciples saw this scene?”
“The Thousand Devil Sand Sea was originally located at the peak of the Absolute Mountain Range. After sealing the entrance of the Devil Ruins, there were usually only a dozen core disciples staying behind,” Su Shousi said. “At first, no one understood what had happened. They thought that there was something strange going on at the Devil Ruins, but after receiving the Sect Master’s message, they guessed that it might be related to the eruption of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm’s volcano. “Adept Crimson Pine has allowed these dozens of disciples to enter the Void Origin Palace to work and cultivate. He has also sealed off the entrance to the Thousand Devil Sand Sea from the outer perimeter. For the time being, the news will not be leaked out.”
Chen Xun put his hand on his forehead, but nothing like this actually happened.
Tu Shan had covered tens of thousands of kilometers of Heavenly Flames since ancient times. There were all sorts of rumors about the formation of Heavenly Flames since ancient times. Chen Xun had never imagined that Tu Shan’s Heavenly Flames were actually caused by the eruption of most of the Heavenly Volcanoes in the past, and a large number of Heavenly Flame Astral Fiends leaked into the endless Void and Reality.
It can’t be a coincidence.
This very likely meant that the distance between the Heavenly Volcano and Tu Shan was not far, so it was possible for a large number of Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiends to leak into the endless void from the Heavenly Volcano and then seep into Cloud Continent from above Tu Shan.
This meant that in the future, the four sects would be able to set up Heaven and Earth level magic arrays that could open the void, and they would not even need dao symbols to directly construct a spatial passage connecting Heaven Volcano and Tu Shan.
Chen Xun waved his hand, and the shadow in the secret cabin instantly dissipated. He said to Su Wuyang, “It’s not appropriate for this matter to spread out. We shouldn’t think too much about it in our hearts. Let’s pretend that nothing happened.”
Su Shousi deeply thought that he was nodding his head. If the Heavenly Furnace World was as important as they had predicted, the Jiang family would definitely not tolerate having a second spatial passage into the Heavenly Furnace World outside their control.
As far as King of Qing and the clans and sects that supported King of Qing were concerned, keeping this secret was only to seize an opportunity.
Of course, Su Shousi also had some anticipation in his heart. If one day, the forces of the four sects could contend against the Jiang clan, then outside of the Western Ancestral Dragon Mountain, there would be a second spatial passage into the Heavenly Furnace World. Controlling the four sects would be of great significance.
But when he thought of the ancient Jiang royal clan that had existed behind the Jiang clan for millions of years and dominated the entire Tianjun world, Su Shousi felt that this possibility was too small.
Seeing Chen Xun walk out of the secret cabin in front of him, Su Shousi couldn’t help but wonder, could the four sects create such an unimaginable miracle in his hands?
