The Great Wild God - Chapter 555
Chapter 555 Fourth Army
The Heavenly Domain was vast and boundless. Under the influence of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, it would often form all sorts of Absolute Fiends. Thundercloud Island was only one of them.
Although Chen Xun could comprehend the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the profound mysteries behind the Qi of Heaven and Earth couldn’t be seen through even by a rank one figure like Emperor Xi Wu and Patriarch Tian, let alone him.
That deep gorge was located in the northern foothills of Thundercloud Island, shaped like a dragon flood dragon, hence the name Kuilong Gorge.
Even with the Dragon-Snake Thunder Subduing Formation, considering the ferocious Thunder Fiend on Thundercloud Island, the scope of its cover was extremely limited. Most disciples still had to stay in Crescent Moon City to cultivate. Only Gu Xinyue, Zuo Qingmu, and a few other disciples who had cultivated the Thunder Body Tempering Secret Technique would stay on Thundercloud Island to guard and cultivate …
Su Junchen quickly led the ten thousand God’s Guards into the Dragon’s Head Reef.
Naturally, Meng Xiaoran also ran to the Dragon Head Reef.
The Dragon Head Reef was located on the periphery of Thundercloud Island. It was less than a thousand miles away from Kuilong Gorge. Although the waves and winds were wild, it was less affected by the lightning fiend above Thundercloud Island. It was an ideal base for the army.
Su Junchen had already cultivated to the late Dharma Aspect Realm. Among the descendants of the Thirty-Six Divine Generals, his cultivation progress was extremely fast. However, when he saw that Chen Xun had not seen him for several years, he had actually advanced by leaps and bounds. He already had a mid Dharma Aspect Realm cultivation, and his heart was extremely shocked.
Chen Xun had been cultivating at full capacity for less than a hundred years.
*************************
If these disciples were to be incorporated into the Divine Guards in batches, the combat strength of the Divine Guards would be greatly improved. However, such an increase was far inferior to Emperor Xi Wu’s direct incorporation of a large number of Origin Core Realm, Dharma Aspect Realm, and even Heavenly Human Realm experts into the Spirit Heaven, Phoenix Mountain, and Mingqi armies.
Although the southern foothills of Snowdragon Mountain would be threatened by the Fengyang clan, if Danzhou wanted to expand outwards, it would have to advance along the two wings of Snowdragon Mountain and the wastelands at the northern foothills.
The Snow Dragon Mountain’s two wings and the northern foothills were under the responsibility of the Lingtian, Fengshan, and Mingqi armies. In the future, they would be the main force following Emperor Xi Wu to expand the territory.
From the looks of it, the Spring Mausoleum Lord, Jiang Junwen, would not return to Cloud Continent. However, if he stayed at Snowdragon Mountain, it would definitely not be considered good news for Mountain Parasol, who was determined to establish a foothold on Thundercloud Island.
Although Xu Zhilong had misjudged the situation and mistakenly assumed that Jiang would use other people’s hands to eliminate Mountain Parasol, but in reality, he was forced to leave after Emperor Xi Wu appeared. However, this also showed that Xu Zhilong, Gu Yuzhang, and the others had a deep understanding of Cloud Continent’s intricate relationship.
If it weren’t for the intentional leaks from within the Danzhou region, it wouldn’t have been possible to deduce these things by relying solely on Heavenly Secrets.
Regardless of who informed the disciples of the Heavenly Dao Sect, Chen Xun believed that the Spring Mausoleum Lord, like the Tian Clan and Yuan Wu Marquis Jiang Ju, wished to see Mountain Parasol suffer a great setback on Thundercloud Island.
Jiang Junwen was narrow-minded. The fact that the Spirit Heaven Army had been greatly strengthened this time was undoubtedly a headache for him. Even though Emperor Xi Wu intended King of Qing to succeed Cloud Continent as Emperor of King of Qing, it was evident that the resources invested in the various armies would not be inclined towards the Divine Guards that were destined to follow Cloud Continent back to Cloud Continent in the future.
To be closer, the Divine Guards Corps was currently in charge of defending the southern foothills of Snowdragon Mountain. To be farther away, the Divine Guards Corps would be the foundation of King of Qing’s rule over Cloud Continent. The stronger they were, the more powerful they would be in resisting the demonic tribulation. Chen Xun had no choice but to support the Divine Guards Corps in developing their strength.
Although Chen Xun hoped that the four sects of Mountain Parasol would be able to separate themselves from the secular world, there was no such possibility at the moment.
There was no free lunch in the world. The Kui Long Pavilion still needed the protection of the Xi Wu Emperor and the Jiang Clan to gain a foothold on Thundercloud Island. They would no longer stand idly by and watch the future war between the Xi Wu Emperor, the Jiang Clan, the Feng Yang Clan, the Feng Hou Clan, and the Da Hong Clan.
As for the disciples of Mountain Parasol, they were truly interested in cultivating and seeking longevity. After all, they were a minority. Most of the disciples came from secular societies, and if they were successful in their cultivation, they would definitely return to secular societies to establish their clans and seek the title of kings.
Cang Lan’s territory was small, and even if the Ji clan could establish a country in Cang Lan in the future, being able to set up dozens of counties was already the limit.
If he didn’t want Cang Lan to have too many ambitions to expand outwards, and let those who wanted to establish a clan in the secular society, find a disciple to become a duke, and enter the Divine Guards Army to make contributions, then perhaps it would be the best choice.
Hearing Chen Xun’s words, King of Qing Jiang Lan laughed heartily and said, “It’s a pity that you’re so focused on your cultivation. Otherwise, you and Jun Chen will truly be like tigers adding wings to the Divine Guards.”
Su Junchen naturally didn’t want Chen Xun to enter the Divine Guards Army and compete with him for power, but if the disciples of Mountain Parasol left the sect and joined the Divine Guards Army, they would greatly increase the combat strength of the Divine Guards Army.
Mountain Parasol’s rise was too fast, unlike Dragon Gate Sect and the Xuandu Sect, which had inherited tens of thousands of years of sect heritage. However, in the past few years, the devil subduing battles, Mountain Parasol’s disciples had demonstrated their dedication and strength. It was truly impressive.
Chen Xun said, “Previously, Chen Xun had seen the elegance of Martial Emperor Guanxi and the seniors of the Heavenly Dao Sect on Thundercloud Island. Only then did he truly realize how insignificant he was. In the past, he was truly a frog in a well.” This time, I will also hand over all the matters of the sect to Zuo shi and Shousi. They will no longer be in charge of the sect. If Your Majesty needs anything from the Kui Long Pavilion, just order Shousi and the others to do it. “The war in Darkness Ridge is coming to an end. The Azure Flame Lotus Arrow, Profound Thunder Chariot, Battle Boat and other equipment may be needed by the Divine Guards. The Kui Dragon Pavilion can also provide them …”
‘”Good, good” King of Qing laughed loudly.
At first, Jiang Lan didn’t understand why his father would not hesitate to be hostile to the Heavenly Dao Sect and save Chen Xun.
Regardless of whether Chen Xun was ambitious or not, his cultivation of the Heavenly Dao True Dragon was always a threat to the Jiang family.
Jiang shi could not directly kill Chen Xun, but no one could blame Chen Xun for losing the Heavenly Dao Sect’s Xu Zhilong’s hand.
Now that Chen Xun had not only agreed to give a Heaven and Earth Mountain Protection Formation to the Divine Guards Army and allow Mountain Parasol disciples to join the Divine Guards Army, he had also agreed to supply the Divine Guards Army with the Cyan Flame Lotus Arrow and other sharp weapons in large quantities, it seemed that Father Emperor’s ability to tolerate Chen Xun could not be considered a disadvantage.
The Green Lotus Flame Arrow formed an arrow formation. Although it was difficult for a True Monarch of the Nirvana Realm to be threatened, those who had truly witnessed the might of the Green Lotus Flame Arrow Formation would definitely not say that the Green Lotus Flame Arrow was useless.
Although the power of the Divine Talisman Burst Lightning Arrow refined by the Ce Tian Manor was not inferior to the Blue Lotus Flame Arrow, apart from the complexity of refining the Divine Talisman Burst Lightning Arrow, the materials consumed were more than ten times that of the Blue Lotus Flame Arrow, making it very difficult to use it on a large scale.
King of Qing Jiang Lan thought to herself, even if Father Emperor didn’t make a move, Chen Xun had already cultivated the Heavenly Dao True Dragon and died. A wisp of remnant soul could still be attached to the Heavenly Dao True Dragon and return to Mountain Parasol. At that time, Chen Xun would be reincarnated in Mountain Parasol. However, it was precisely when Mountain Parasol rose to prominence that would be an even greater hidden danger.
There were three major chambers of commerce in the Western Profound Continent. The Meng Clan’s Treasure Gathering Pavilion belonged to one of the six chambers of commerce. It had branches in many powers on the southern bank of the Storm Sea, trading various magical artifacts, medicinal pills, and other cultivation resources with various clans and sects.
For example, the Dragon-Snake Lightning Subduing Formation, which did not seem to be extremely powerful but was extremely suitable for Thundercloud Island, might not even be obtained by Emperor Xi Wu himself, but the Treasure Gathering Pavilion would have a way to obtain it easily.
Whether it was the Jiang clan or the Tian clan, the vast majority of the heavenly artifacts and magic treasures they had previously obtained were from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The Jiang Clan seemed to have only built a city in Snowdragon Mountain, but behind Jiang Clan were the seven small and medium-sized Heavenly Regions of Cloud Continent. The amount of cultivation resources they could gather was extremely considerable. This was also the reason why Meng Xiaoran, as the direct descendant of the Heavenly Dao Sect and the third son of the Meng Clan’s Clan Master, was personally in charge of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Danzhou.
Chen Xun thought that it would be the most convenient for him to entrust the Treasure Gathering Pavilion to collect materials like the Devil Binding Flag, the Li Fire Essence Gold, and so on.
Of course, if he couldn’t work closely with the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, the cost of entrusting the Treasure Gathering Pavilion with collecting extremely precious materials or top-grade magical artifacts and formations would be astonishing.
Meng Xiaoran was not good at forging magical artifacts, but since he represented the Meng clan out of town, his vision was outstanding.
Although the Kui Dragon Pavilion was still unable to refine Heavenly Artifact magic treasures, its ability to refine low-grade magic artifacts and magic formations was no weaker than a second-and third-rate Heavenly Jun artifact refining sect.
Even in Tianjun, it was a low-grade magical artifact and required the most magical arrays. Since Kui Long Pavilion had such an ability in artifact forging, it had the qualifications to cooperate with Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Meng Xiaoran wanted to continue talking about this topic, but Chen Xun frowned and looked into the distance.
After a while, Chen Xun saw Lian Changhai, the white-robed swordsman who had appeared on Thundercloud Island a few years ago, break open the thundercloud. He stopped in midair, his eyes shining with a faint golden light. He glanced at Chen Xun, raised the bag of holding in his hand, and said to Meng Xiaoran,
“The two Dragon-Snake Lightning Subduing Formations are here. Where is the Dark Heaven Disk of the Two Years?”
“I have a rare chance to gather with Junior Brother Lian. Why did Junior Brother Lian come and go in such a hurry?” Meng Xiaoran asked.
“If it weren’t for Martial Uncle Xu bumping into me and catching me running errands, I would have gone to the Sea Ruins long ago.” Lian Changhai said impatiently.
“The Taiyuan Immortal Palace has appeared?” Meng Xiaoran suddenly remembered something and asked.
