Chapter 257 Millions of People
The battle ended with Chen Jiu's great victory. Although the imperial army suffered only a few thousand casualties, the Hongmeng Sect lost seventeen True Lords.
If we really talk about combat power, these seventeen True Lords may be more powerful than the fifty thousand elite soldiers of the Shenwu Camp and the five hundred thousand elite soldiers of the Tunwei Camp. The losses of the Hongmeng Sect this time can be said to be heavy.
As for Chen Jiu’s gains, he didn’t know yet.
He had just finished killing people in Jiuling Mountain and rushed to Sishui Pass with three fairies. He didn't even have time to clean up the battlefield.
At this moment, the imperial army had already begun to retreat, and Chilian Tianzun and Yuding Tianzun probably wouldn't dare to launch a surprise attack. He gave detailed instructions to Luo Menghong, Hongyun Laozu, Yu Dayou and others, then returned to Jiuling Mountain with the three fairies.
The Jiuling Mountain side was much quieter than the Sishui Pass side. A group of demon gods and demon fairies had just released a burst of sword energy and were now meditating and regulating their breathing. The huge pits on the ground and the places smashed by various spells and magical powers were also smoothed out. True Lord Wuyun and others were counting the confiscated artifacts with Zhang Wanxia.
When Zhang Wanxia saw Chen Jiu come back so quickly, she couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Ah Jiu, why did you come back? How is Sishui Pass? Is the ancestor okay?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. We have repelled the imperial army. So, are there any good things this time?"
Zhang Wanxia couldn't help curling her lips when she heard this and said, "These seventeen True Lords are really poor. Only the True Lord of the Pure Land, Wei Hu, has a magic weapon, the Devil-Subduing Pestle. The others are just ordinary artifacts. Oh, by the way, the shield in the hand of the True Lord of the Wood Mansion seems to be a magic weapon, but unfortunately, I split it in two with my sword, and it can't be put together anymore."
Are these True Lords so poor?
In fact, it is not necessarily a bad thing for him that others are poor. If others are poor, they will find a way. It is estimated that there must be something in the kingdom of these True Lords.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then asked: "How about it, Mr. Turtle, Mr. Rabbit, is there anything you want? Just take whatever you want, you can choose first."
How could we have the nerve to ask for it?
Wuyun Zhenjun Lianlian shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. We all have magic weapons and even supreme treasures now, but your disciples don't have any magic weapons yet. You should share them with them."
That’s right, Yu Dayou and his men don’t even have divine armor.
There is no way. The Honghuang Divine Cauldron is busy and has no time to make armor for them.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "Okay, I'll share these artifacts with them first, and I'll give you some good stuff next time."
After saying that, he collected all the magical artifacts, and then released Xu Yanran and the three fairies.
Seeing this, Zhang Wanxia immediately pulled them together and started chatting.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly, waved to Master Wuyun and the others, then quickly came to the top of Lianshen Peak and slowly sat down cross-legged.
He was not going to practice, he was preparing to crack the kingdom of God and space of the seventeen True Lords.
Since these True Lords were so poor, they must have a good supply of refining materials from the Gold Divine Kingdoms, so the first ones he cracked were the seventeen Gold Divine Kingdoms.
Sure enough, the gold-based kingdoms of these True Lords were filled with refined gold essence, silver essence, copper essence, and iron essence, and the quantities were quite large. The least was at least 400,000 or 500,000 kilograms, and the most was over a million kilograms. The total quantity of the seventeen True Lords was over ten million kilograms.
Now the Honghuang Divine Cauldron has no shortage of materials for refining immortal and divine weapons.
Next, he began to crack the wood kingdom of the seventeen True Lords. As for the vitality space and personal space of these guys, he was too lazy to crack them for the time being.
He has cracked so many divine kingdoms and spaces and has summed up some experience. These paupers probably have nothing in their energy space and portable space. There is no need for him to waste time.
However, he was pleasantly surprised by the wood-based kingdoms of these True Lords. These guys might have relied on magical herbs and elixirs and refining materials to exchange for elixirs and magical weapons, so they planted a large number of magical herbs in their wood-based kingdoms.
Moreover, these guys all enjoy themselves very well. There are quite a few mortals in the Wood God Kingdom. The least number is hundreds of thousands, and the most is even millions.
This time, he had tens of millions more mortals in his hands.
More than a day had passed since he had been cracking the code so frantically. When he opened his eyes, it was already noon the next day.
At this moment, his spiritual awareness was so strong that he was not very tired even after being busy for more than a day.
He extended his spiritual sense to explore again, and sure enough, Zhang Wanxia and the others were accompanying the three fairies to eat delicious food in the hall at the foot of Linlang Peak.
These three fairies may have never eaten anything delicious, but they never get tired of eating it every day.
They ate with such relish that their mouths and hands were covered in oil.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel a little hungry.
He immediately flashed to the side of the Cloud Beast, tore off a leg of lamb, and said unhappily, "At least leave some for me, Master."
This guy is such a big eater, he can finish a whole roasted lamb in just a few bites.
Upon seeing this, Yunxia Beast quickly placed the roasted lamb on the table and said respectfully, "Master, please eat. I'm full."
Seeing this, Zhang Wanxia couldn't help but laugh and said, "Xiaoyun, can you fill your stomach?"
Seeing this, Fairy Yunxiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "You are such a big eater. Fortunately, our ancestors raised many cattle and sheep in the kingdom of God. Otherwise, ordinary Heavenly Lords can't afford to feed you, and we three sisters can't afford to feed a foodie like you."
Uh, you are thousands of years old, and you call me a thousand-year-old ancestor!
The old fox fairy said rather embarrassedly: "It's okay, Xiaoyun, just eat. If it's not enough, I'll make more for you. It will be quick."
The Cloud Beast was quite touched and said, "Then I'll trouble you, old ancestor. Please give me another roasted lamb and a pot of stewed beef. I'm still a little hungry."
Well, you are probably more than several thousand years old, and you are a divine beast, yet you call me ancestor!
Although the old fox fairy had heard it many times, he was still a little uncomfortable.
She quickly stood up and said, "Okay, you guys eat first, I'll make it for you."
At this time, Chang Er Zhen Jun finally couldn't help asking: "Master Jiu, how is it? You have been busy for more than a day. What have you gained?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "That is, tens of millions of kilograms of refining materials and tens of millions of mortals. The rest are some magical herbs and elixirs, nothing else."
Chang Er Zhenjun nodded slightly and said: "Tens of millions of mortals are not bad, at least they can be exchanged for more than ten rare treasures."
Zhang Wanxia couldn't help but ask, "Master Rabbit, why do you want to exchange mortals for the treasures of heaven and earth?"
Chang Er Zhenjun said without hesitation: "Master Jiu said that the mortal world cannot support so many people, so it is better to exchange them for natural treasures."
Zhang Wanxia was still a little puzzled and asked, "Ah Jiu, aren't they originally living in the Kingdom of God? Why do you say that they can't survive in the mortal world? Why did you drag them to the mortal world?"
Chen Jiu sighed slightly and said, "There is nothing we can do. The Wood God Kingdom has too little water. After the death of the True God who raised them, no one will replenish water. They will die of thirst soon."
Zhang Wanxia still couldn't understand: "Why is no one replenishing water? If you don't have time, you can ask Xiaoyun to go. He is just comprehending the water system. Isn't it okay to let him practice every day? We have plenty of water here, and the Wei River is right next to us."
Uh, you don't know how much water tens of millions of people need.
Chen Jiu shook his head helplessly and said, "No, the water consumption of tens of millions of people is too terrible. There are people living on both sides of the Wei River. With so many people using water, I'm afraid the Wei River will be drained out in no time."
Zhang Wanxia said without thinking: "Then let's make the clouds and rain. Xiaoyun, didn't you say you can make the clouds and rain?"
Control the clouds and rain?
Chen Jiu really didn't know about this magical power, because he had not yet comprehended the water-based way of heaven and the way of yin and yang.
He couldn't help but look at his apprentice Yunxia Beast with confusion.
The Cloud Beast quickly explained, "This is what Grandpa Turtle taught his disciples. There are clouds in the Water God Kingdom, right? Just pull those clouds out and pull them to high altitudes. It's cold at high altitudes, and when the clouds float to high altitudes, the moisture inside will turn into water and fall down. This is called moving clouds and spreading rain."
Oh, so that's what happened.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then smiled and said: "Wanxia, why do you want to support so many people? You probably don't know how troublesome it is for mortals to manage them."
Zhang Wanxia said without hesitation: "Our ancestors said that the more people there are, the better. The more people there are, the more people with spiritual roots there will be, and we can cultivate more spiritual officials and even earthly immortals.
Unfortunately, the original Japanese people cannot be trained, because if they are trained, they may very likely become Japanese pirates.
It’s different for the mortals in the kingdom of God. Their families are all in the kingdom of God. If anyone dares to disobey, the entire family will be executed and no one will be able to escape. Do they dare to disobey?
You are so lucky. There are tens of millions of people in the Kingdom of God. Moreover, they are more likely to develop spiritual roots after living in places with rich spiritual energy for a long time. If you pick any of them, there will probably be tens of millions of mortals with spiritual roots."
yes!
He is still thinking about how to expand the Eight Camps.
Due to the issue of loyalty, he did not dare to randomly recruit mortals with spiritual roots to train them, because if he did not train them well, they would become ungrateful and bite him back.
It is different for the mortals in the kingdom of God. All their family members and even relatives and friends are in the kingdom of God. Whoever dares to become an ungrateful person will be executed with just a thought. Who would dare?
Chen Jiu nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "This is indeed a good idea. We can even raise more cattle and sheep and grow more food in the kingdom of God. Anyway, the wood spirit in the kingdom of God of those True Lords is still very rich. Whether we grow food or grass, they will grow very quickly. The only thing we lack is rain.
Xiaoyun, I'll leave this to you. You go around the various kingdoms every day and take turns to make clouds and rain for the various wood-related kingdoms, so that there will be no shortage of water. You can choose any cattle or sheep you want to eat. "
That’s good, but the problem is that this round of epidemic cloud-induced rain requires a lot of clouds.
Upon hearing this, the Cloud Beast said carefully, "Master, my Water Kingdom is not very big, there are not so many clouds in it."
This cloud is not everywhere.
Chen Jiu pursed his lips towards Master Wuyun and the others and said, "If it's not enough, go ask your uncle and the others for more. There are not many clouds in their water kingdom."
Lord Wuyun nodded repeatedly and said, "Yes, anyway, the clouds in our Water Kingdom turn into rain and then become sea water. It is useless. If you don't have enough, just come to us for it."
The Cloud Beast quickly said obediently: "Thank you, all the masters."
Upon hearing this, Yunxiao Tianzun said without hesitation: "There are more clouds in our water kingdom. You can have as many as you want. If you don't have enough, you can ask us for more."
The Cloud Beast quickly said obediently, "Thank you, Masters."
Uh, what are you talking about.
When the three fairies heard this, their faces turned red. When did they become the master's wives?
There's no way. They play with Luo Li and Zhang Wanxia every day. Yunxia Beast probably can't tell whether they are the master's wives or not.
So, he simply called her Master's Wife.
