The Great Wild God - Chapter 457

Chapter 457 Biennial Period

As the two-year deadline approached, the Spirit Heaven Army soldiers and Heaven Mending Pavilion disciples also returned to Copper Furnace Fort to rest and prepare to withdraw from the Heaven Furnace.

Although they had captured many Flame Fiends, Fire Apes, and other monsters in the depths of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, the casualties among the Spirit Heaven Army’s soldiers weren’t light, and their consumption in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm was even greater.

It had to be said that they had taken advantage of the many disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion, and this time, they had obtained quite a bit of experience.

The Heavenly Flame Stones, Heavenly Flame Pearls, and other materials obtained from capturing and killing Flame Fiends, Fire Apes, and other Flame Fiends were of great benefit to the disciples of the Jiang Imperial Clan in their cultivation of the Great Sun Heart Sutra and the Great Sun Firmament Sword.

The cultivation of Jiang Yunxian and the others had greatly improved, but this was limited to the direct descendants of the Jiang Imperial Clan.

Lord Crimson Brow, Jiang Bin, Tian Heng, and the others had been trying to capture the Fire-Winged Monster Ape alive. Although they had tracked it down several times, they had escaped several times and had lost quite a few people.

Cultivators with low cultivation and ordinary soldiers were not worth cherishing. Only through such a cruel survival of the fittest would they be able to cultivate true elites.

Jiang Bin, Tian Heng, and the others only cared about whether the strength of their direct descendants had been enhanced or not.

Jiang Bin was puzzled to see that the King of Qing faction had transferred such a large amount of resources into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm over the past two years. He could only discuss this matter with Lord Crimson Brow.

“King of Qing’s actions during this period of time are too unusual.”

“The Spring Mausoleum Monarch is deeply rooted in Cloud Continent. In recent years, Emperor Xi Wu has also called him to ask questions many times. Is King of Qing planning to retreat for himself?” Tian Heng sat behind the jade table and drank, and said nonchalantly.

Patriarch Tian was an existence that surpassed the Heavenly Human Realm. There were three peerless Heavenly Human Realm experts in the clan. Their strength was second to none among the descendants of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals.

Mrs. Tian was now conferred the title of Kunzhou State.

As the Middle Thousand Worlds, the local clans and sects weren’t weak and weaker. The Tian clan was still lacking in opening up territory in Kunzhou and wouldn’t participate too deeply in the turbulent undercurrents of the Cloud Continent Monarchy competition.

Speaking of which, since everyone was optimistic about Chun Lingjun, if Madam Tian did not show any signs of succeeding to the throne in the future, Madam Tian would find it extremely difficult to obtain strong support in Cloud Continent.

Based on this mentality, the disciples of the Tian Clan in the Heaven Mending Pavilion were also close to the people of the Spring Mausoleum Monarch’s lineage.

Jiang Bin had also borrowed Tian Heng’s personal grudge with Chen Xun to try his best to rope him in during this period of time.

Jiang Bin said, “Brother Tian, I have also considered what you said. However, so many clans have followed closely behind King of Qing and transferred a large number of disciples and clan martial artists into the Heavenly Furnace. At this moment, the Heavenly Furnace is far from being so easy to establish itself in.”

In the past two years, they had gone deep into the heartland of the Heavenly Furnace and were well aware of the hardships involved.

Those with cultivation above the Heaven Origin Realm were better off. The Reincarnation Realm disciples suffered from the heat of the Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiend, and their cultivation had even deteriorated.

It was unlikely that Emperor Xi Wu would decide the candidate for the throne within a hundred years. Even if King of Qing laid the groundwork for his retreat, there was no need to transfer so many people and resources into the Heavenly Furnace at once.

“King of Qing Crown Prince Jiang Nanke is currently working on a formation similar to the Eight Desolate Flag, capable of drawing Earth Vein Profound Fiends into the Heavenly Furnace to transform into profound ice,” said Lord Crimson Brow Wengsheng. “It is rumored that Mountain Parasol taught them this formation. They might use this formation to build a sparkling fortress in the Heavenly Furnace …”

Lord Crimson Brow had a Celestial Realm cultivation, and the Bronze Furnace Castle was only two thousand feet in radius. How could he possibly conceal anything from him?

Even though the refining method of the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Array and the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos were strictly kept a secret, the Prefecture Marquis’ Manor and the sects had been discussing the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Array in private during this period of time. There were still some things that leaked into his ears.

“Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation?” Jiang Bin was also shocked. He quickly remembered that Mansion of Marquis Martial’s Eight Desolate Flag had fallen into Chen Xun’s hands for a year. He was shocked and said, “Chen Xun, this thief must be the formation restriction that broke the Eight Desolate Flag.”

“How is that possible? The Eight Desolate Flag is a Heaven Ranked supreme treasure refined by the Upper Realm Sect. If the formation restriction that was refined into it was really that easy to break, it would have already become the stuff of the rotten streets.” Tian Heng laughed heartily. He only felt that Jiang Bin’s words were too exaggerated.

“Perhaps Brother Tian doesn’t believe that Chen Xun, this thief, is capable of obtaining the number one artifact forging master in the Northwest Domain. He is indeed outstanding,”

Jiang Bin said solemnly,

“Chen Xun this thief only return embryo stage cultivation, on the new spirit gathering restriction formation, and in the sandpirate cave in the wuteng sand sea, he only used half a year, deduced with the four pillars of the mountain and river array to use the spirit gathering restriction. I don’t want to believe such a thing, but it’s the truth. Our Yuanwu Manor once had an Eight Desolate Flag, but it accidentally fell into the hands of the direct disciple of the Divine Night Sect, Chang Xi. At that time, Gu Yangzi had ordered Chang Xi to return the Eight Desolate Flag, but Chang Xi had forcefully intercepted the Eight Desolate Flag for a year. Afterwards, it also proved that the Eight Desolate Flag had fallen into Chen Xun’s hands during this period of time. Lord Crimson Brow, perhaps you know about this … ”

Lord Crimson Brow nodded, indicating that he had indeed heard of this matter from Gu Yangzi. He then said,

“Prior to this, Daoist Tian and Chen Xunzaitian had resisted the Flame Demon with all their might. Chen Xunzai’s Body Refining Divine Ability was most likely the Fragmentary Star Fist that he had comprehended from the restriction of the Big Dipper Profound Armament Seal. It took Chun Lingjun several years to comprehend this body refining divine ability, and when it came to the comprehension of the restriction of the formations, few people in Yunzhou could compare to Chen Xun.”

“Is there really someone in the world who has such innate comprehension in formations?” Tian Heng knew that there was no need for Lord Crimson Brow to exaggerate, but it was still hard to believe that Chen Xun had the ability to break through the restriction of a Heaven Ranked Supreme Treasure’s array formation.

Jiang Bin looked at Lord Crimson Brow and said, “Chun Lingjun wanted to suppress Chen Xun and make it difficult for him to do anything. Perhaps Chun Lingjun didn’t expect that this thief would be able to hug King of Qing’s thigh so quickly, right?”

Tian Heng smiled contemptuously and said, “If Chen Xun keeps his head back in the Heavenly Furnace, I really can’t do anything to him, but as long as he dares to return to Cloud Continent, I will definitely avenge him.”

************************

Cultivators skilled in artifact forging and array formations were rare figures that required a large amount of resources to cultivate in their clans and sects.

Fortunately, everyone was eager to obtain the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation as soon as possible. Twelve artificers with cultivation above the Heavenly Origin Realm quickly gathered at Copper Furnace Fort and became the first batch of deacon elders of the Heavenly Furnace Sect.

Chen Xun was unable to return to the Qingwu Ridge immediately. However, he refused. As a guest elder of the Heavenly Furnace Sect, he stayed in the Prefecture Marquis Manor to guide everyone in refining the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation.

Jiang Nanke stopped sending slave laborers from Cloud Continent and assigned the 300,000 slave laborers to the various strongholds, allowing the disciples and cultivators of the Zhu Clan to participate in the construction of the strongholds. This greatly reduced the losses of the slave laborers and was sympathetic and sympathetic.

Chen Xun was not satisfied with King of Qing, Su Junchen, and the others’ deep-seated cities. He was forced to cooperate. Seeing that Jiang Nanke’s style was very different from his father’s, he couldn’t help but think that perhaps King of Qing’s inheritance of the throne couldn’t be considered a bad thing.

With Chen Xun’s participation, the Heavenly Furnace Sect only took half a year to refine the second Eight Desolate Profound Tower Array.

At this moment, after two and a half years of eruption, the Heavenly Volcano finally stopped. The spatial rift above the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range also closed.

The amount of Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiends that filled the heavens and earth was nearly half lower than before. However, the Heavenly Furnace Earth was still extremely hot, and it was far beyond what a human body could withstand.

The cooled magma formed a giant pillar that was more than 20,000 feet tall in the depths of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range. The nearby mountains all left behind terrifying cracks. Occasionally, red lotus flames would spray out. The sky was filled with ash that covered tens of thousands of kilometers, completely covering the entire sky.

If it weren’t for the many rifts in the Skyfire Mountain Range and the occasional blazing lava gushing out, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm would have fallen into eternal darkness.

There have also been welcome changes.

As the suppression of the Heavenly Flame Dipper Fiend on the earth veins decreased, the Spiritual Qi generated by the Heavenly Furnace Earth was much denser than before, even though it was still extremely thin.

The spiritual energy in the vicinity of the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range had been gathered through the sixteen main spiritual veins. At this moment, the defensive level magic formation was already in operation.

Of course, everyone would spend such a huge amount of resources, so they wouldn’t be so shallow as to fall for this little bit of spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy gathered in any spiritual vein or acupoint in Cloud Continent was purer and denser than the spiritual veins in the Heavenly Fire Mountain Range.

Everyone was interested in the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos that the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm had undergone before the heavens and earth had reached a new balance.

Of course, the Primordial Chaos Primordial Breath that was born at this time was also extremely rare, and it was very difficult for experts above the Origin Core Realm to benefit from it, but it was too beneficial to a large number of low-level disciples with outstanding aptitudes from various clans.

Transferring the disciples of the clan and sect to the Heavenly Furnace to guard and cultivate was the fundamental goal that everyone had worked hard to achieve.

Over the past two years, Su Wuyang and the others had slowed down due to the hidden illness of their spirit flesh caused by the strong moulding of their primordial spirit, which was proof of the existence of Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos.

Only heaven-ranked pills, Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos, Immortal Spirit Yuan Qi, and other extremely limited pills and spiritual energy could cure the hidden diseases of spirit flesh caused by the powerful moulding of primordial spirits.

Chen Xun had measured that in the past two and a half years, the total amount of Primordial Breath produced by the three main spiritual veins in Qing Mountain Parasol was comparable to a Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill.

A single Dragon Marrow Golden Liquid Pill given to two to three thousand Origin Pill Taoist would naturally not have any effect. However, if it were two to three thousand True Yang Realm and early Reincarnation Realm disciples, it would be completely different.

The Heavenly Furnace World might take hundreds of years to reach a new balance. During this process, the Qingwu Ridge would continuously have a small amount of Primordial Breath. The total amount of Primordial Breath might be equivalent to hundreds of Dragon Marrow Gold Liquid Pills.
