The Great Wild God - Chapter 474
Chapter 474 Harvest
Jiang Nanke led his troops into Qingwu Ridge, causing the situation to be completely stalemate.
Before Chun Lingjun led the Spirit Heavenly Army to withdraw from the Heavenly Furnace, Chen Xun would not take the risk of rushing to the Copper Furnace Ridge. He would only hand over Tian Heng, one of the key figures in the Qingwu Ridge assassination case, to Jiang Nanke and bring him to the Copper Furnace Fort to deal with.
After the destruction of the Divine Night Sect, the Northwest Region was left without a leader. The Northwest Region Governor-General’s Mansion was only nominally responsible for controlling the various sects in the Northwest Region to resist the devilish calamity and would not interfere in the private grudges between the sects in the Northwest Region.
This was the pattern of the seven sects ruling Cloud Continent together with the Jiang clan, and it was also the Heavenly Dao Great Oath that the Xi Martial Emperor had sworn when he invited the seven sects to expel the Ji clan.
Even if the Jiang clan’s strength had far surpassed the seven sects in the past four thousand years after they took control of the Ancestral Dragon Mountain, they still had no intention of breaking this pattern for the time being.
As for the Tian Clan’s participation in the attack on Qingwu Ridge …
The division of the 16 main mountains in the Skyfire Mountain Range quickly came to a conclusion.
The direct descendants of the Jiang Imperial Clan and the direct descendants of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals practically all entered the Heaven Mending Pavilion to cultivate. Some second-and third-rate vassal clans and sects could follow the disciples of the Heaven Mending Pavilion to cultivate in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.
Such an arrangement could be considered to be fair, so that no one would be able to fight with each other again.
In this way, there was no need for everyone to alert Emperor Xi, who was cultivating in seclusion in the Upper Realm.
********************
The Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm had no distinction between spring, autumn, winter and summer, day and night.
The Heavenly Flame Peak was lofty and towering. After Su Wuyang cultivated the Origin Core, he flew halfway up the mountain and was unable to withstand the fierce fiery wind. He felt that his Origin Core magic power would be rapidly consumed and he would not be able to last for much longer.
Very quickly, Chen Xun and the others borrowed the Azure Lotus Ancient Lamp to prop up the Li Fire Spirit Shield and came down the mountain to meet Su Wuyang.
“The Tian Clan has sent an envoy over. The Crown Prince will accompany them at Qingwu Ridge and wait for you to return.” Su Wuyang said.
“It’s been three months. Their patience is really good.” Chen Xun smiled.
Qing Xuan put away the green lotus ancient lamp. Su Tang, Zong Ya, and Su Shousi were not afraid of being directly exposed to the fiery wind.
Heavenly Flame Peak was the largest volcano in the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range. Anyone who threw three or five Earth-shaking Dao Talismans down could cause a new eruption. No one was willing to invest a large amount of resources to build a city wall near Heavenly Flame Peak, and no new spirit veins were found nearby.
However, no one knew that the Heavenly Flame Peak descended from the volcano’s crater. Twenty thousand feet underground, it was the place where the grandmist origin energy in the Heavenly Flame Mountain Range was the densest.
However, even if someone knew that apart from the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape, a Xiantian spirit object born from the flames, and a top-grade Heavenly Flame Controlling Equipment like the Blue Lotus Ancient Lamp, even True Monarchs of Heaven and Earth would not be able to stay in the Heavenly Flame Peak for too long.
Even if someone relied on a Heavenly Artifact grade or even a Dao Artifact grade magic treasure to enter the Heavenly Fire Peak and discover the secrets there, they would still not be able to directly cultivate.
The balance between the Heavenly Flame Peak’s underground Profound Nether True Fiend and Heavenly Flame Astral Fiend was too fragile. Only by comprehending the Grand Dao of Yin and Yang would Chen Xun be able to use his fleshly body as a bridge to form a more stable balance in the Heavenly Flame Peak’s underground world, bringing Zong Ya, Su Tang, Qing Xuan, and Su Shousi into the bubble to cultivate.
If it was anyone else, they would have to have a treasure like the Primordial Gathering Stone that could only be used for cultivation after absorbing the Primordial Chaos Primordial Breath that was born underground.
Three months had passed since Chun Lingjun led the Spirit Heavenly Army to withdraw from the Heavenly Furnace. Zong Ya, Su Tang, Qing Xuan, and Su Shousi had already recovered from their injuries. They had followed Chen Xun into the underground seclusion of the Heavenly Flame Peak for the past three months and their cultivation had greatly improved.
Su Shousi, Qing Xuan, Su Tang, Zong Ya, and the others had only cultivated Origin Pills for more than ten years, and their foundations and dao hearts had not yet stabilized to the point where they were about to charge towards the Dharma Aspect Realm.
Even if he wanted to have a lifespan of more than a thousand years for them, he didn’t mind laying a more solid foundation.
Even so, their Hundred Bones Orifice Meridian Scripture’s purest Primordial Breath Cleansing, foundation, and spiritual sea pill origin magic power far surpassed those of Origin Core cultivators of the same realm.
In the battle at Qingwu Ridge, Chen Xun and the others had obtained a total of eleven Heaven Ranked Magic Treasures. Zong Ya and the others were all heroes of this battle. Naturally, they would choose the Heaven Ranked Magic Treasure first. Su Wuyang had obtained a Divine Flame Sword that matched his divine ability perfectly.
Su Tang already had a Profound Armament Seal. After experiencing this bitter training, she had already displayed sixty to seventy percent of the power of the Profound Armament Seal. At this moment, she had obtained another protective magic treasure, the Profound Spirit Inlaid Flag.
Cang Yazi relied on this Profound Inlaid Spirit Flag to persevere under the encirclement of the Northern Profound Armor, Crimson Sea, Snake Wuxin, and Golden Wolf for half an hour. In the end, his magic power was exhausted before he was killed.
With the Mysterious Weapon Seal and the Mysterious Inlaid Spirit Flag, even if the Azure Phoenix wasn’t as useful for a while, Su Tang was still able to defeat experts at the middle and early stages of the Dharma Realm.
Although the Five Lightning Seals Su Shousi had obtained weren’t as good as the Purple Night Lightning Tower, they were all mid-grade Heaven Ranked magic treasures with various uses.
The Nine Dragons Battle Halberd that Zong Ya had obtained was the Heavenly Weapon Profound Weapon that he had always dreamed of, causing Zong Ling and Gu Feng, who had recently led their troops into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to change their defenses, to be filled with envy.
Zong Ya followed Chen Xun into the Heavenly Flame Peak underground this time and also used his Primordial Breath to replenish his broken arm.
Apart from the Divine Flame Sword, the Profound Inlaid Spirit Flag, the Five Thunder Seal, and the Nine Dragons Battle Halberd, the other seven Heaven-ranked magic treasures were all White Tiger Battle Armor that had been plucked from Tian Clan experts
The White Tiger Battle Armor was a Heavenly Artifact Spirit Armor refined by an ancient sect in the Heavenly Jun Great World. It was said that it was refined into the soul of a White Tiger Spirit Beast at the same level as a flood dragon.
Before the Tian Clan expert begged for his surrender, he was trapped in the Red Lotus Flame Sea. He had received a total of nearly 60 Azure Flame Lotus Arrows. In the end, seven people were able to stand there because of these seven White Tiger Battle Armors.
From this, it could be seen how powerful the Tian Clan was, far from being able to defeat the four sects of Mountain Parasol at this moment.
However, the stronger the Tian Clan was, the deeper their suspicions from Jiang would be. Chen Xun was not afraid that the Tian Clan would dare to make any big moves against the four sects of Mountain Parasol at this time.
Seven pieces of White Tiger Battle Armor, Zong Ya, Su Shousi, and Su Wuyang each had one, and Chen Xun had the Northern Profound Armor pick one.
The Northern Profound Armored Primordial Spirit was cultivated by the souls of Immortals, and his cultivation was much stronger than Su Shousi’s. However, he had cultivated for a short period of time, and his Hundred Bones Flesh Body was much weaker than Chi Hai’s.
Once he commanded the Golden Armored Battle General to kill the enemy, his defensive power, which was easily attacked and killed by powerful enemies, was his weakness. He needed a White Tiger Battle Armor to strengthen it.
Black tea and Crimson Sea could only exert their maximum strength when they recovered their demonic bodies, and they couldn’t wear the White Tiger Battle Armor. Chen Xun and the Fire Winged Demonic Ape didn’t need to borrow the White Tiger Battle Armor to increase their defenses. Chen Xun temporarily put away the remaining three pieces of White Tiger Battle Armor.
On the Mountain Parasol side, Zhao Chengsi, Tie Xintong, and Gu Jianfeng all cultivated martial arts, focusing on Fiendgod Body Refinement. Only they could fully display the White Tiger Battle Armor’s defensive power in close combat with the enemy.
Right now, Chen Xun wanted to wait for the Tian Clan to send people to redeem the prisoners of war and wait for the situation in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to settle down before returning to Cloud Continent.
On the God-controller Mansion side, Su Shousi would officially replace Chen Xun as General Zuo Du Lieutenant and be responsible for guarding the Heavenly Furnace. Chen Xun was only a guest minister in the Qing Palace, so he no longer had to be bound by God-controller Mansion.
Chen Xun gave Jiang Nanke all the armor and magic tools he had collected from the ten thousand Spirit Heaven Army prisoners of war.
God-controller Mansion ruled that the Qingwu Ridge attack had nothing to do with the Spirit Heaven Army. Chen Xun could not openly swallow these armored magical artifacts, nor could he directly blackmail the Spirit Heaven Army or God-controller Mansion. However, after sending them to Crown Prince Jiang Nanke, those prisoners of war still had to vomit some blood if they wanted to retrieve the armored magical artifacts from the Qing Palace.
This was also Chen Xun’s gesture to the Qing Palace.
