The Great Wild God - Chapter 480
Chapter 480 Fourth Restriction
“March Darkness Ridge earthquake, Zhou Wushan also earth-shattering mountain shaking, and 70 years ago, Tu Shan earthquake and then a large amount of demon fiend leaked into Cloud Continent, how similar. The situation on the eve of the Old Dragon Lake was a hundred times worse than it was on the eve of the Battle of the Old Dragon Lake. The demons ate the flesh and blood of living beings. Once the Xuandu Sect lost Zhou Wushan, tens of thousands of kilometers south of Zhou Wushan, even the northern and northwestern regions would not be able to resist the demons. Hundreds of millions of living beings would become food in the bellies of the demons. Even if Cang Lan was able to live in a secluded corner, it was still like a fragile reef in a ferocious wave that could be destroyed by the demons at any time. Therefore, the Northwest Region could not be in chaos, and His Majesty could not stand idly by and watch Zhou Wushan. Just imagine how the emperor would become a pillar of defense against the demons in the future. How could the ten thousand sects not admire him, and how could the people not return to their hearts … ”
After reading Chen Xunjin’s letter to King of Qing softly, Su Muchen respectfully handed the letter back to King of Qing’s case. There was a trace of disdain in his eyes as he said, “Chen Xun also happened to meet His Majesty when he was traveling with the Yu Clan in Kaiyang. He should be able to understand His Majesty’s good intentions.” “He generously gifted the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow to the Yu Clan’s disciples who were secretly sent into the Spirit Jun Palace to destroy the Yu Clan. He only said in the letter, ‘The Northwest Region cannot be in chaos’. Isn’t that too easy?”
True Martial Yi followed Crown Prince Jiang Nanke back to Cloud Continent from the Heavenly Furnace. He knew that the matter of Mountain Parasol secretly supporting the Hengyun Sect to destroy the Spirit Jun Palace had actually caused the Su and Wei Clans to not dare to act rashly in the Northwest Domain for a time. They would inevitably have resentment towards Chen Xun.
However, Su Muchen was unable to express this hatred openly. He could only blame Chen Xun for offending the Yu Clan and disrupting their rhythm.
Daoist Wu Yi also pretended to be confused and said, “The Yu Clan has been flattering both sides over the years. It seems that they have a good relationship with the Sovereign, but they are not hostile to the Spring Mausoleum Sovereign and King Yan. I don’t think the Yu Clan is worth the Sovereign wasting too much effort on them.”
“It’s true that the Yu Clan is flattering us on both sides, but we can’t pull the Yu Clan over, so there’s no need to push the Yu Clan into the arms of others.” Su Muchen said.
“I think what Chen Xun said is very reasonable,” Jiang Nanke said loudly. “The Xuandu Sect resisted the demons in Zhou Wushan. The Yu Clan coveted Qingjiang, the dragons in the Northwest Region had no leaders, and the Yu Clan coveted Hengyun. They were really robbers who took advantage of the flames, so it was not a big plan. As for the people’s livelihood in the Northwest Region, the sect is in a difficult situation. If our Qing Palace has the determination to settle the chaotic situation in the Northwest Region and does not take advantage of the chaos to obtain benefits, it will definitely be able to make the sect inscriptions in the Northwest Region harbor in its heart. The sect in the Northwest Region can naturally be used by our Qing Palace. “As for the four sects of Mountain Parasol, they are able to gain a firm foothold in Azure Water, while the Marquis Manor of Yuanwu is forced to retreat in panic. We cannot fail to notice the twists and turns behind this.”
Jiang Nan Ke could not be too straightforward with Su Mu Chen present, but the reason was very clear.
The descendants of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals were all clans that had followed Emperor Xi Wu. No matter who inherited the throne, their status in Cloud Continent could not be shaken.
The Qing Palace would pay an astonishing price for recruiting the descendants of the Divine Generals for their own use.
Rather than thanklessly recruiting the God General’s descendants, it was better to appease the panicked sects in the Northwest Region at a smaller price and gain more popularity.
Su Muchen said, “If it weren’t for Chen Xun plotting to ambush True Monarch Crimson Brow, Lord Yuanwu’s Manor, why would the Gu Yang Sect withdraw in such a hurry?”
In Su Muchen’s opinion, strength was the most important thing. As for the Northwest Region Sect, there weren’t many Dharma Adepts left, so it wasn’t worth their great efforts to support them.
The death of True Monarch Crimson Brow and the withdrawal of Marquis Yuan Wu and Gu Yang Sect from the Northwest Region could only be considered an accident.
Su Muchen was secretly gloomy and bitter. Apart from the Su Yuanju Clan moving to Canglan in the early years, the Su Clan also had two collateral clans that moved to the Northwest Domain to take root, which could be better controlled by the Su Clan.
However, the two collateral forces were weaker and controlled only one county. The Su Clan originally planned to increase their support to help the two collateral forces expand their territory in the Northwest Region.
Jiang Nanke knew that his father was somewhat indecisive. After Su Muchen left, he said more frankly, “Back then, the Ancestral Emperor was prospering because of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals. Father should also have his own Thirty-Six Divine Generals so that he could ascend to the throne in the future.”
It was completely unreasonable for them to be afraid of Mountain Parasol at this moment.
Jiang Nanke added, “The situation on the Heavenly Furnace side has stabilized. The Darkness Ridge Demonic Tribulation has resumed. I have an agreement with Chen Xun to lead my troops to Zhou Wushan to participate in the demon suppression. Please accept it, Father.”
Jiang Lan trusted Ge Tong and asked him, “What do you think?”
Although Ge Tong had some suspicions about Mountain Parasol, he supported Jiang Nan Ke leading his troops to conquer Darkness Ridge. He said, “The disciples of the Zhu Clan cultivated in the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm and advanced very quickly. However, without being tempered by the bloody battles, they would not be able to become great weapons in the end …”
“That’s right. All the disciples of the various clans are scattered in their hands. It’s difficult to become iron-blooded elites!” Jiang Lan nodded in agreement, agreeing that Jiang Nanke would lead his troops to Zhou Wushan to participate in the war against the demons.
This way, the disciples of the various sects would be able to gather together and use it.
Ge Tong said, “Mountain Parasol’s forging reputation is shocking. Needless to say, even the Purple Night Golden Scaled Ship from the Kui Long Pavilion is slightly better than the Dragon Fang Warship. Before the Crown Prince led his troops to the war, did they buy a batch of weapons and warships from Mountain Parasol?”
Jiang Lan nodded and said, “I still need to discuss this with Chen Xun.”
*************************
Below the Southern Cliff of the Azure Dragon Ridge, Liu Lyuying cried. A stream of clear spring gushed out from the stone gap, sprinkling down like jade. It scattered into endless clouds, covering the Southern Cliff so tightly that outsiders could not see the true face of the Southern Cliff of the Azure Dragon Ridge.
A bottle of three-headed, six-armed silver-armored giant, six arms wrapped in silver scales, each wielding a saber, halberd, and battle bow, revealed an incomparably powerful aura, as if a heavenly deity battle general had faintly appeared in the clouds.
At this moment, Chen Xun was sitting cross-legged on the cliff rock at the top of the southern cliff. The giant phantom of the green lotus petals wrapped around his body, and wisps of spiritual light connected him to the silver-armored giant.
Su Tang leapt onto the cliff and stared fixedly at the silver-armored giant in front of the cliff for a while.
Chen Xun quickly dispersed the Profound General Dharma Form and put the Profound General Seal into his embrace. Seeing that Su Tang’s clear and charming pupils revealed some concern, he said, “The Profound General Seal’s fifth level restriction is still unable to be refined. The Profound General Dharma Form is unable to unleash the second level of the Broken Star Fist’s Starsea. The battle power it can display is still limited.”
When Qingwu Ridge killed Lord Crimson Brow, Chen Xun did not take out the Profound General Seal. In fact, at that time, the Profound General Seal had only been refined to the third level of the restriction, and it was far from enough to unleash the power of the Profound General Seal.
At this time, he had only refined the restriction formations inside the Profound General Seal to the fourth level, and was unable to display all the divine abilities that the Profound General Seal had.
However, Chen Xun, with the protection of the Green Lotus and the silver-armored profound general who could display three heads and six arms, was already able to contend head-on against an early Heavenly Human Realm expert.
‘”You are greedy enough to devour elephants,” Su Tang smiled. “How many people in the Cloud Continent can refine Dao artifacts and magic treasures to the fourth level like you? If it were me, the outer level restrictions that can refine the Profound General Seal would be heaven-defying. However, the Profound General Seal has a total of six levels of restrictions, and it can’t be considered a top-grade Pure Yang Dao artifact, right?”
Chen Xun stood up and said, “The Void Origin Palace has nine layers of restrictions. If I can cultivate properly, it will be more than a thousand times more powerful than the Profound General Seal. It’s a pity that the Blood Crow hasn’t fully fused with the Immortal Embryo Dao Seed yet. Otherwise, with the help of the Blood Crow, I’ll be able to completely refine the Profound General Seal. I’ll be even more confident in this battle.”
“Ji shi, Du Liangyong, Zhao Chengen, Zuo Qingmu, Qianlan, and the others are all under the cliff. I’m planning to leave for Zhou Wushan first. What do you want us to do? Do you want us to rush to the Azure Dragon Ridge to discuss it in person?” Su Tang asked.
“Six Dharma Form Adepts from Mountain Parasol, fifty Origin Core Adepts, and even less than thirty Heavenly Artifacts and magic treasures put together. It’s a bit too shabby,” Chen Xun said. “Old Kui’s body must have been reconstructed in a hundred years. Only six or seven years have passed. He can’t follow us to Zhou Wushan to eradicate the demons. But I suspect that Void Origin Palace should have some treasures. He didn’t tell us …”
“You bastard, you’ve just returned to Mountain Parasol and come after me. There are still a few magic treasures in the Void Origin Palace, but they are for the successor of the True Monarch. You and I have no right to use them.” Old Kui’s voice suddenly rang out. Then, Old Kui turned into a green-robed old man and landed on the cliff.
Hearing what Old Kui said, Chen Xun’s mind stirred and he asked, “If you and I don’t have the right to use it, is there anyone else hiding in the Void Origin Palace?”
“Since you’ve called Ji Lie and the others to the Azure Dragon Ridge, what are your plans? I still don’t know.” Old Kui waved his sleeve and said, “Let’s go to the Thousand Devil Sand Sea and enter the Void Origin Palace. You will naturally understand everything.”
