Chapter 279: Millions of Troops
Around noon that day, although it was clearly time for the lunch gathering, there were only a dozen or so people sitting sparsely in the hall at the foot of Linlang Peak, and the scene seemed a little deserted.
Yunxiao Tianzun was bored while chewing fruit and sighed, "I don't know what Ah Jiu has been busy with these past two days. I can't see him at all. Yanran and Qianqian are gone too. Wanxia and Ali are busy again. It's so boring."
Upon hearing this, Chang Er Zhen Jun hurriedly comforted him, "According to the time, Master Peng will be back soon. When the time comes, let Master Peng take us to Sishui Pass to have a look. Master Jiu is probably busy at Sishui Pass."
Yunxiao Tianzun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, when Master Peng comes back, we will go to Sishui Pass to see what Ah Jiu is busy with."
This little girl must be attracted to Jiu.
Upon hearing this, the old fox fairy couldn't help but smile.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of thunder from the east.
Yunxiao Tianzun immediately jumped up and said happily: "Haha, Master Peng is back, we can go to Sishui Pass."
The old fox fairy quickly stood up and said, "Yunxiao, don't worry. Master Peng must be hungry. I'll bring him some delicious food. Let him eat his fill before I take you to Sishui Pass."
The sound of thunder suddenly disappeared, and Chen Jiu suddenly appeared in the hall. He couldn't help laughing and said, "Hahahaha, I pretended to be so convincing, you all got fooled."
The old fox fairy was speechless upon seeing this.
It turned out that this kid Ajiu was pretending to be the Winged Lord.
Yunxiao Tianzun was delighted and said, "Ah Jiu, where have you been these past two days? Why haven't I seen you?"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I am busy recruiting people from the God Kingdoms in Jushen Peak. I have visited nearly thirty God Kingdoms in the past two days."
Oh, so he went to the kingdom of God to earn income.
Yunxiao Tianzun couldn't help but said mischievously: "You have seen the temple I built for you, right? How is it? Is it bigger than the one you built?"
Chen Jiu praised repeatedly: "Well, I saw it. It is indeed bigger than what I built. The spectacular scene almost made my eyes pop out."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Yunxiao Tianzun couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Chen Jiu collected nearly a thousand excellent talents. He was in a good mood and spoke in a more humorous and witty manner.
The hall seemed to become lively immediately, and the fruits and meat seemed to become more delicious. Tianzun Biyun and Zhenjun Wuyun all enjoyed the food.
At this time, there was another sound of thunder from the east, and Yuyi Tianzun appeared in the hall in a flash, laughing happily, "Hahahaha, I'm back again, little sister, did you miss me?"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
The old fox fairy blushed and couldn't help but spit: "What nonsense are you talking about? You are already tens of thousands of years old."
After saying that, she ran straight to serve the delicious food.
Chen Jiu had a good meal with everyone, and then he came to the Lianshen Peak and sat cross-legged, ready to start enlightening the demons and fairies.
This time, he did not want to enlighten the demon clan, but the soldiers of the eight camps who had practiced the demon clan's skills. Moreover, this time, he did not want to enlighten one or two or even ten or eight people, but thousands of them.
He boasted in front of his disciples that he could enlighten thirty or forty people a day , so he naturally had to prepare well before starting.
The speed at which this demon fairy can enlighten people actually depends not on the strength of his spiritual awareness, but on the cultivation level of these demon king-level soldiers themselves.
If the soldiers themselves have reached the peak of the demon king, then he will have no problem enlightening hundreds of them a day. After all, it is just a matter of gathering a vortex of vital energy, which does not even take a cup of tea.
If the cultivation base of these soldiers is only around the sixth level of Demon King, then it would be quite difficult. He would have to use the demon energy to infuse them for a long time. The consumption of spiritual consciousness is extremely large. He would have to adjust his breathing for a while to enlighten one of them, and it would take a very long time.
Therefore, the cultivation level of these soldiers themselves directly determines the speed of his enlightenment.
He entered the demonic power space with his spiritual sense and scanned it carefully, and nodded slightly.
These soldiers are quite diligent. They have been madly absorbing the vitality of the monsters in the past two days. In addition, each of them has a Blood Soul Pill for blessing. There are forty or fifty monster kings at the peak of their powers, hundreds of monster kings at the ninth level, more than half of them are above the sixth level, and the remaining nearly half are at least at the third or fourth level.
He thought about it and took out 700 bottles of elixirs for strengthening qi and blood and 700 bottles of elixirs for strengthening spirit and soul, and put them in front of Zhang Qian, saying solemnly: "Qianqian, please take the trouble to distribute these elixirs to the soldiers of the eight camps.
Each person below the sixth level of the demon king will receive one bottle of the immortal pill for strengthening qi and blood and one bottle of the immortal pill for strengthening the soul. Each person below the ninth level of the demon king will receive half a bottle of the immortal pill for strengthening qi and blood and one bottle of the immortal pill for strengthening the soul. For each person at the ninth level of the demon king, one immortal pill for strengthening qi and blood and one bottle of the immortal pill for strengthening the soul will also be given.”
Then, he sent a message to the soldiers, "I will start to enlighten the demon immortals now. Those at the peak of the demon king level will come first. The others will take the elixirs quickly after getting them and improve their cultivation as soon as possible. I will enlighten them from the highest to the lowest level. The higher the cultivation, the faster they will become immortals."
Thousands of soldiers from the eight camps were all excited when they heard this. They had finally waited for the moment of becoming immortals. Those who got the elixir took it without hesitation and began to practice madly.
Chen Jiu also pulled out those soldiers at the peak of the demon king level from the demon power space one by one and quickly enlightened them.
Now he could gather the energy vortex much faster than before. In order to capture the entrances to the divine kingdoms, he sat there cross-legged for more than a day thinking hard. He had studied the structure, size, strength, rotation speed, etc. of the energy vortexes thoroughly. Now, condensing the simplest energy vortex was naturally easy for him.
After these soldiers from the eight camps who were at the peak of the demon king level were pulled out, before they could even react to what was happening, a vortex of vital energy gathered in their dantian. With the mad infusion of vital energy, they became immortals in less than a cup of tea!
They had never imagined in their dreams that one could become an immortal at such a speed.
After they became immortals, Chen Jiu directly asked them to sit cross-legged on the Shen Lian Peak to meditate and practice, quietly feeling the changes brought about by the demonic power space, waiting for Yu Dayou and others to become gods.
Chen Jiu was enlightening day and night, and the number of demons and fairies on the Lianshen Peak increased, and increased, from the top of the mountain to the mountainside.
After an unknown amount of time, Qi Jiguang, who was sitting cross-legged in the magical space practicing in seclusion, finally opened his eyes, raised his head and said excitedly: "Master, I have done it."
You finally did it!
Chen Jiu directly pulled him out of the demon power space and said with relief: "Have you mastered the Qi and Blood Path and the Wood Element Technique?"
Qi Jiguang nodded excitedly and said, "It's all done, Master."
Well, the aptitude is really good, this is the second level of fake and true god.
Of course, at this moment he had only just realized how to transform the chaotic energy into demon energy and wood spiritual energy. The demon power space and wood fairy palace were still far from reaching the level of the kingdom of God.
Chen Jiu asked directly: "How many elite garrison troops do you think Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, and Dengzhou Prefecture can recruit?"
Qi Jiguang estimated silently for a while, and then said carefully: "More than 100,000 should not be a problem, but the exact number of disciples needs to be determined."
More than 100,000?
It seems that we need to recruit more from the Kingdom of God.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and then said solemnly: "First, you should expand the demon power space here. When the demon power space is expanded to more than 2,000 miles, you can take these immortal generals under your command to Qingzhou Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture, and Dengzhou Prefecture to recruit young and strong soldiers for the garrison. First, expand your Shenqi Camp to 150,000 soldiers, and then teach them the method of practicing the way of Qi and blood, and train them well."
This time it expanded from more than 30,000 to 150,000!
Upon hearing this, Qi Jiguang nodded excitedly and said, "Disciple understands."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and then pointed behind him.
Qi Jiguang quickly sat cross-legged behind his master and tried his best to expand the space of his demonic power.
Afterwards, the other seven disciples also became gods one after another. However, the second one to become a god was Yu Dayou, not Qi Jimei.
It seems that becoming a god has little to do with the length of time spent practicing. The key lies in aptitude. Although he has explained the way of Qi and blood to his eight disciples in detail many times, and these eight disciples have also consulted many people about the Five Elements techniques they practiced, it stands to reason that their understanding of the Five Elements and the Way of Heaven should be similar.
However, Qi Jimei, who had practiced for a longer time, still did not become a god before Yu Dayou.
Chen Jiu sighed inwardly, and then said solemnly: "Dayou, you should expand the demon power space here first. When the demon power space is expanded to more than 2,000 miles, you can take your immortal generals to the eight divine kingdoms from Tianjia Kingdom to Tianding Kingdom to recruit young and strong people who have practiced the way of qi and blood, and expand your Shenyong Camp to 150,000 soldiers."
Yu Dayou couldn't help but nodded excitedly and said, "Disciple understands ."
Immediately afterwards, he sat cross-legged beside Qi Jiguang and tried his best to expand the space of demonic power.
The third one is Qi Jimei. It seems that this kid has good qualifications, he may just be a little young.
Chen Jiu nodded with satisfaction, and then gave detailed instructions: "Jimei, you should expand the demon power space here first. When the demon power space is expanded to more than 2,000 miles, then go to Tianjia Country to recruit young and strong people who are practicing wood-related skills there, and expand your Shenmu Camp to 150,000.
Remember, we recruit those with the lowest cultivation level first, not those with the highest cultivation level. Let those with high cultivation levels continue to cultivate there."
When Qi Jimei heard that the Shenmu Camp was going to be expanded to 150,000 people, he couldn't help but get excited.
However, when he heard that they would start recruiting from those with the lowest cultivation level, he was a little confused.
He couldn't help but ask, "Master, why do you start recruiting from the lowest level? Wouldn't it be stronger if we start recruiting from the highest level?"
You don’t understand this.
Chen Jiu sighed slightly, then murmured, "This world is the world of immortals after all. No matter how many mortals there are, they are just ants in front of immortals. Think about it, no matter how powerful your 150,000 troops are, if there is no earthly immortal leading them, can they defeat you alone?
Since they have the hope of becoming immortals or even gods through cultivation, let them continue to cultivate. Even if only about 10% of the remaining people can become immortals, that would be quite terrifying. Even the Heavenly Venerable would be afraid of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation composed of thousands of earthly immortals. Do you understand?"
Oh, so it was to let them continue to practice and strive to become immortals or even gods.
Qi Jimei nodded repeatedly and said, "Disciple understands."
Chen Jiu turned back to Yu Dayou and Qi Jiguang who were expanding their demonic power space and said, "Dayou, Jiguang, you should also pay attention. If you find someone with good qualifications, who is particularly diligent in cultivation and who makes rapid progress, send him to me and let him cultivate to become an immortal before helping you in the battle."
The Brave Battalion, the Spiritual Energy Battalion and the Divine Blood Battalion are the main forces of the Eight Battalions. Moreover, the demon immortals are not good at refining pills and weapons and refining materials. It would not make much sense to train them all in the demon power space. He can only recruit more people from these three battalions in the hope that more talented people will emerge and be trained well.
Next, Tang Shunzhi, Lu Tong, Deng Zilong and others also became gods one after another.
Chen Jiu still asked them to expand the demon power space to more than two thousand miles before recruiting troops, because if the demon power space is not expanded to the level of the kingdom of God, they can only be slightly stronger than ordinary peak earth immortals. Only when the demon power space is expanded to more than two thousand miles can they crush the earth immortals.
As for the number of soldiers under their command, the Shenxue Battalion under Deng Zilong had 150,000, the same as Yu Dayou and the brothers Qi Jiguang and Qi Jimei.
In this way, the total number of soldiers in the eight camps was exactly one million, and his goal of recruiting a million-strong army was achieved.
