The Great Wild God - Chapter 475
Chapter 475 Ransom
Chen Xun and the others flew back to the Qingwu Ridge, and the endless Heavenly Flame Astral Fiends gathered above the Qingwu Ridge like clouds of fire. In the end, they formed an incomparably dazzling golden sun at the summit of the Southern Cliff.
It was the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape cultivating at the top of the Southern Cliff. The fire clouds that covered a thousand kilometers had already faintly surfaced with azure lotus flames. It was more powerful than the Heavenly Flame Flowing Clouds that covered the top of the Tu Mountain. It was unknown how the Fire-Winged Demonic Ape had managed to create such a grand display in just three to five months.
Chen Xun was worried that the city walls on the various peaks of the Qingwu Ridge would be affected by the slightest carelessness. He had a dark feeling that when the Fire Winged Demonic Ape cultivated in the future, it would have to stay away from the Qingwu Ridge.
Chen Xun and the others had no choice but to lower their altitude and fly close to the ground.
Jiang Nanke and Adept Wu Yi accompanied the Tian Clan’s messenger. They were waiting for Chen Xun to return from the city wall at the bottom of the Southern Cliff Valley. They sat in the main hall and waited. Seeing the Fire Winged Demonic Ape cultivating, they were also secretly shocked.
Daoist Wu Yi had fought with the Fire-Winged Monster Ape twice. In just a few short years, the Fire-Winged Monster Ape had been stronger than before. He didn’t know why Chen Xun was so timid. Wasn’t he afraid that he wouldn’t be able to catch the Fire-Winged Monster Ape’s wild nature and cause Mountain Parasol a monstrous calamity?
Jiang Yunxian pursed her lips. After entering the Qingwu Ridge, she didn’t say anything. She had to report that Chen Xun had returned to the Qingwu Ridge before she sat down slightly and looked out of the hall.
Chen Xun, Su Shousi, and Qing Xuan walked into the main hall and bowed to Crown Prince Jiang Nanke, Daoist Wu Yi, and the others. Then, they smiled at Jiang Yunxian and said, “When did the Imperial Daughter arrive at the Heavenly Furnace? Why didn’t she tell me in advance?”
“If I can’t walk around anymore, wouldn’t it be that the benefits of the Heavenly Volcano will be taken away by you?” Jiang Yunxian said.
Chen Xun laughed heartily and said, “Chen Xun will never forget the kindness of the imperial daughter. This time, he collected more than ten Heavenly Flame Stones from the Heavenly Volcano, and even planned to ask the Crown Prince to bring them to the imperial daughter.”
Chen Xun gathered a small embroidered bag from his bosom and cupped his hands together. Then, he looked at the black-robed old man sitting beside Crown Prince Jiang Nan Ke and asked, “Since the Tian Clan’s noble messenger arrived, Chen Xun has failed to welcome him from afar. He has neglected, neglected.”
Jiang Yunxian desperately needed Heavenly Flame Stones to increase the cultivation of the Great Solar Firmament Sword, and the number of Heavenly Flame Stones in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm was also extremely rare. Chen Xun took out more than ten Heavenly Flame Stones when he met her. No matter how much she didn’t resent it, it was inconvenient for him to bring up the matter of the Fire Winged Demonic Ape.
“Old Tian Wuji!” The black-robed old man waved his wide sleeve, nodded slightly, and said expressionlessly.
The two Fa Xiang Realm Sect Elders and seven Origin Pill Taoist of the Tian Clan were all detained by Chen Xun in Qingwu Ridge. Naturally, Tian Wuji would not take Chen Xun’s polite words as true.
Tian Wuji didn’t say anything polite to Chen Xun. When Chen Xun sat down in the middle of the hall, he went straight to the main topic and said, “According to what Chen Zhenren said, I brought over two Eight Desolate Flag, three Heavenly Artifact Spirit Swords, two Heavenly Artifact Spirit Armor, and three Dragon Marrow Pills. Please leave him to me now …”
Only now did Adept Wu Yi know what the Tian Clan’s bargaining chip was to redeem the two Sect Elders. He was also shocked. He didn’t expect Chen Xun to actually dare to speak so loudly. He actually asked the Tian Clan to take out seven Heavenly Artifacts and three Heavenly Grade Treasure Pills to redeem the nine prisoners of war.
Thinking about the Tian Clan’s endurance, they were helpless. Although the two Sect Elders had their Dao Hearts broken this time, it shouldn’t be a problem for them to recover their cultivation to the peak of the Dharma Aspect Realm.
No matter how powerful the Tian Clan was, it was impossible for them to not be willing to save the two peak Dharma Realm experts.
Chen Xun calmly accepted the storage ring that Tian Wuji had handed over and checked whether the magical artifacts that the Tian Clan had sent him had done anything secretly.
Daoist Wu Yi and Crown Prince Jiang Nan Ke waited patiently. Jiang Yun Xian did not have the patience and walked out of the main hall to see how Chen Xun had managed the Qingwu Ridge over the past few years.
Daoist Wu Yi was slightly confused.
The rise of the four sects in Mountain Parasol was very short. It had only been twenty to thirty years. Although a group of Dharma Form Realm and Origin Core Realm experts had appeared, their foundations were very poor. There shouldn’t be many Heavenly Artifacts in their hands. It wasn’t difficult for Chen Xun and the Tian Clan to use Heavenly Artifacts as ransom this time.
Three Heavenly Artifact Spirit Swords and three pieces of Heavenly Artifact Spirit Armor, how could they increase the combat strength of three mid-and late-Origin Core warriors of the four sects of Mountain Parasol by a large margin, becoming the core force of the four sects of Mountain Parasol?
However, why did Chen Xun ask the Tian Clan for two Eight Desolate Flags?
Mountain Parasol mastered the refining method of the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation. Although the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation was far less powerful than the Eight Desolate Flag, its abilities were quite similar. Mountain Parasol should have exchanged the other two Heavenly Artifacts from the Tian Clan’s hands, right?
Daoist Wu Yi didn’t know that the reason Chen Xun was able to directly attract the Dark Nether True Fiend in the Heavenly Furnace was because the Heavenly Furnace Earth Vein was severely suppressed. However, when he returned to Cloud Continent, the Dark Nether True Fiend that the Earth Vein produced was incomparably vast. Even if Chen Xun truly had a Heavenly Human Realm cultivation, he might not dare to directly attract it.
As for the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation that Chen Xun had refined following the example of the Eight Desolate Flag, its core formation restrictions were still quite fragile. It could only be used in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm, and it could only be captured as if it was going back to Cloud Continent.
Although Chen Xun was able to further perfect the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation, it wasn’t a one-day effort to perfect the sealing level formation. It might take more than ten years or even decades, and Chen Xun wouldn’t be able to condense the Profound Yin True Water with the Dark Nether True Fiend during this period of time.
The Blue Lotus Battle Armor Chen Xun was currently using was made up of Profound Yin True Water and Profound Yang True Fire. It could also be said to be the most powerful divine ability he had mastered at this moment. Its defensive power was comparable to that of a Celestial Body and a Divine Devil Golden Body.
Lord Crimson Brow was also unable to shatter the green lotus formed from the Profound Yin Primordial Water and Profound Yang Primordial Fire.
Chen Xun couldn’t stay in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm forever and never return to Cloud Continent, but after returning to Cloud Continent, if this strongest divine ability couldn’t be used, he would naturally feel extremely aggrieved.
Chen Xun had almost mastered the complete Heavenly Flame Dao Insight, and he was already able to directly condense the Profound Yang True Fire. Therefore, an Eight Desolate Flag was something that he was determined to obtain.
With this Eight Desolate Flag, Chen Xun didn’t even need to hurry to cultivate his True Body Technique for a short period of time. There was plenty of endless magic power that could be used to cast spells and divine abilities.
In addition, although Chen Xun had never personally seen a Heaven and Earth grade Mountain and River Array, he suspected that the Eight Desolate Flag was most likely the core magic treasure of the Soul Suppressing, Six Yang, and Dragon Sealing Mountain and River Arrays.
In order to form a stable spatial passage between the two Heaven Realms, a Heaven Earth Grade formation was a necessary prerequisite. However, a large amount of Heaven Earth Spiritual Qi had to be injected to maintain the operation of the Heaven Earth Grade formation.
Speaking of the common spiritual energy of heaven and earth in the Realm of the Heavens, how could there be a more common and majestic Profound Demon of Heaven and Earth than the Profound Nether True Demon?
Chen Xun directly asked the Tian Clan for two Eight Desolate Flags. He kept one for himself and left the other for Zuo Qingmu and the others to study.
After Chen Xun confirmed that Tian Wuji had brought seven Heavenly Artifacts and three Dragon Marrow Pills with him, he signaled for Su Shousi to bring the Tian prisoners of war to the main hall and hand them over to Tian Wuji along with the Soul Locking Seal that held their souls.
Looking at the nine prisoners of war who looked like cripples, Adept Wu Yi felt that Chen Xun’s subordinates really didn’t show any mercy. The Tian Clan redeemed these people, and he didn’t know how much resources they would need to invest to restore their cultivation.
Tian Wuji also wanted to prevent Chen Xun from using any tricks on the prisoners of war. After careful examination, he didn’t waste any time at Qingwu Ridge. He didn’t even bother to say anything to Chen Xun. He cupped his hands at Jiang Nanke and Daoist Wu Yi and said, “See you in the future …”
After Tian Wuji left, Chen Xun signaled for others to set up the banquet and invited Princess Jiang Yunxian back to the main hall to take a seat.
Chen Xun divided the three Dragon Marrow Pills that Tian Wuji had handed over into three pieces and sent them to Jiang Nanke, Daoist Wu Yi, and Princess Yanling. He said, “This time, I have troubled the Crown Prince. Princess has worked hard.”
Daoist Wu Yi didn’t expect Chen Xun to be so generous. The value of a Dragon Marrow Pill wasn’t much inferior to a low-grade Heavenly Artifact magic treasure.
Daoist Wu Yi’s temper was a bit mellow. He felt that these Heavenly Artifact Treasure Pills were risked his life by the disciples of the four sects of Mountain Parasol. He didn’t deserve to be rewarded for nothing, but he couldn’t resist the temptation of a Dragon Marrow Pill. He sat there blushing and didn’t know if it was better to resolutely reject them or keep them in his arms.
“True Master Chen is really generous. Looks like you’ve really benefited a lot this time.” Jiang Yunxian smiled as she looked at the Dragon Marrow Pill in her hand. She was doted on by the Xi Martial Emperor and had only consumed a total of three Dragon Marrow Pills before and after all these years of cultivation.
Chen Xun secretly manipulated Jiang Yunxian twice in his heart. If he wasn’t afraid that Prince Qing would hate others, he would still need Crown Prince Jiang Nanke and Daoist Wu Yi to help him speak up behind his back. How would he have given up these three Dragon Marrow Pills?
However, the effects of the Dragon Marrow Pill cutting through the Marrow Transformation Pulse and improving one’s aptitude might not even be comparable to the Primordial Breath of Primordial Chaos.
At this moment, they could be considered to be firmly established in Qingwu Ridge. Even if he left, Su Shousi and the others could still use Yuan Gathering Stones and Yuan Gathering Bronze Bottles to absorb Primordial Breath from the Heavenly Flame Peak, while the Void Primordial Pearl could produce even purer Primordial Breath. These three Dragon Marrow Pills weren’t as important to the four sects at this time.
Daoist Wu Yi, however, did not know the secrets of Heavenly Fire Peak. Although the spirit veins of the Heavenly Volcano were formed with grandmist origin energy, However, it was extremely rare. For the time being, it was limited to improving the aptitude of a Reincarnation Realm disciple. As for a Dragon Marrow Pill, it refined the blood essence of an entire adult dragon. At this moment, it was a priceless treasure in Cloud Continent. There was a direct descendant beside him, and he needed this Dragon Marrow Pill to advance to the Origin Core Realm to increase his cultivation.
Jiang Nanke directly put the Dragon Marrow Pill into his embrace and asked Chen Xun, “Is True Master Chen sure that he will return to Cloud Continent this time and not stay in the Heavenly Furnace?”
“The Heavenly Furnace’s cake has been distributed. The Zhu Clan can accept it calmly. Everything will be handled by the Crown Prince. Chen Xun staying behind won’t be of much use,” Chen Xun said. “It’s time to return to Canglan to deal with some old matters.”
“Mansion of Marquis Martial will move into Tu Shan, but I hope True Master Chen will show mercy.” Jiang Nanke said.
Chen Xun spread out his hands and smiled, “Marquis Yuan Wu was also bewitched by the adulterers. Why don’t I understand this logic?”
Jiang Jue, Jiang Bin is a branch of Jiang. The Ce Tian Manor will not tolerate Wu Shan killing Mansion of Marquis Martial. That would trigger a series of chain reactions in other parts of Cloud Continent. Chen Xun is now looking forward to Jiang Jue and the others moving out of Tu Shan. That place is not Mansion of Marquis Martial’s territory.
Jiang Nanke smiled and said, “The attitude of the Ce Tian Manor has also softened. They have agreed to add ten more countries to the west of Tu Mountain, all under the rule of Wu Mountain …”
There were hundreds of millions of people in Canglan. Previously, it was only considered a county. The Ce Tianfu had agreed to add nine new counties to Canglan. In fact, they had tacitly allowed Canglan to expand to the surroundings, not only to the Southern Mountains of Tu Mountain, but they had also clearly limited Canglan’s sphere of influence and could not extend to the east of Tu Mountain.
Chen Xun smiled in his heart. The east of Tu Mountain was the true gathering area of the Northwest Domain. After the destruction of the Divine Night Sect, there were no leaders in the Northwest Domain. At this moment, he restricted the expansion of Wu Mountain to the east of Tu Mountain. Which family did the Ce Tian Manor want to fill in?
