Chapter 432 Exploration
Chen Jiu finally brought Ape Tianzun, Winged Tianzun and others back to the God Realm and the Demon God City. Prime Minister Chen Lang and the ten True Lords were all delighted.
To be honest, they have been extremely worried and anxious for more than a month, just hoping that Chen Jiu would come back soon.
After all, the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty is at war with the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect. They have such a large territory in the Divine Realm, with so many people, but they don't even have a Heavenly Lord, and they don't have any formations to protect them.
They were really afraid that the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect would become angry and send Tianzun to lead a large army to deal with them.
Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun were extremely curious. They had been guarding the Nine-Bend Formation in the mortal world and they didn't know how long it had been since they returned to the God Realm, let alone come to the Demon God City.
At this moment, both the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect have confirmed that they will not send large armies to the mortal world before unifying the divine world. Moreover, Jiuling Mountain is guarded by Yangmei Tianzun, Jingrou Zhenjun, Wuyun Zhenjun and others, as well as more than 100,000 true gods, demon gods and more than 100,000 earth immortals who are practicing in seclusion there. There is no need for them to guard there at all.
Therefore, they strongly requested Chen Jiu to take them to the God Realm for a look. Now that they saw the magnificent appearance and bustling streets of the Demon God City, they felt extremely curious.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu simply asked Yunxiao Tianzun and Furong Fairy to take them around , while he brought Xian Tianzun, Yuyi Tianzun, Prime Minister Mu Chen Lang and ten True Lords to the lobby of Prime Minister Mu's office to discuss the development plan of the forces in the divine world.
After everyone sat down, he asked directly: "Master Chen, how many young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the peak of the demon king level are there in the Demon God City now?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang said without hesitation: "God, there are more than 60,000 young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the peak of the demon king in Demon God City, which adds up to nearly 130,000."
My God, even if his soul is strengthened, it will take at least twenty days to enlighten so many young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the peak of the demon king level.
Okay, let’s discuss the development plan first.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment and then asked, "What about the earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods? How many are there?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang said without hesitation: "The number of earthly immortals is almost 80,000, the number of demon immortals is almost 100,000, and the number of true gods and demon gods is almost 10,000."
That’s almost two hundred thousand.
Chen Jiu asked again: "Master, how many demon king-level demons have you cultivated in the demon power space during this period of time, plus the demon king-level demons left in the Demon God City?"
Tianzun Xian estimated: "The total amount of both sides should be about 600,000 or 700,000."
That's almost enough.
He had already thought it through. It would be enough for the God Realm to cultivate an army of one million true gods and demon gods. After all, the number of earth immortals and true gods in the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect combined was not as many.
Moreover, the war between gods cannot be won by relying on numbers alone. The level of cultivation, magical equipment, and formation coordination are all more important than numbers.
Just like now, he has brought about 50 to 60 million mortals to the divine world, including the ones he brought this time. These mortals all have spiritual roots and can practice cultivation. There are already nearly 200,000 earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods.
So what?
Such a terrifying number is nothing in front of cultivation. If it weren't for him, Tianzun Xi, and the Tianzuns and even the ancestors of Tongtian Sect and Qingmufang City protecting them, any few Tianzuns from Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect with tens of thousands of real people would be able to kill all of these 50 to 60 million mortals with spiritual roots!
Therefore, quantity is nothing compared to the level of cultivation .
The importance of artifact equipment is also unquestionable. In the beginning, Tianzun Xian was hunted down all over the God Realm by several Tianzuns with lower cultivation than him because he had no artifacts and no magic weapons. When tens of thousands of true gods with the same cultivation level fight each other, the one that is fully equipped with artifacts can easily defeat the one without artifacts.
Not to mention the coordination of the formation. The reason why he was able to crush the army sent to the mortal world by the Hongmeng Sect was because of the Nine-Bend Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. If it weren't for these two powerful formations, the battle between him and the Hongmeng Sect in the mortal world might not have ended yet, and the earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods under his command would have suffered heavy casualties.
In short, the war in the divine world cannot be won by numbers alone. Even if he cultivates millions of earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods, it will be of little use without magical equipment and formation coordination.
He might as well train a million elite soldiers, try his best to improve their cultivation, equip them all with a set of magical weapons, and teach them all how to arrange the Ten Thousand Immortals Array and the Nine-Curve Array. Then he can defeat the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect.
Now all of these add up to almost one million, because there are already nearly 200,000 earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods in the Demon God City. If he can enlighten this group of young and strong people at the peak of the king level and the demon king level, that will be more than 300,000 earth immortals and demon immortals.
In addition, if we cultivate the meat of sea monsters and snake monsters for 600,000 or 700,000 monster kings, they will soon be able to advance to the peak of monster kings. By then, with a little more transformation, the number of earth immortals and monster immortals will be almost one million.
He had already thought it through. In the war between gods, the main force would be the demons, because the demons are naturally wild and brave, and are more ferocious than humans in fighting. Moreover, the demons are not good at other things, let alone refining medicine and weapons. It is difficult for them to learn how to cook.
It is different for the human race. Whether it is refining medicine, building cities, planting and cultivating magical herbs, mining and refining materials, etc., they only need to be trained.
Therefore, it is better for the humans and demons under his command to show their strengths. The demons are brave, so they can be trained to fight. The humans are smart, so they can be trained to do various jobs.
He thought about it carefully again, and then said decisively: "Master Chen, we will no longer distribute immortal pills to mortals with spiritual roots in the future. If they want to cultivate and become immortals as soon as possible, they should earn immortal pills themselves. Only when they cultivate to the peak of the king level through their own efforts, will I enlighten them to become immortals and train them to become gods."
ah!
Why are you suddenly not giving out elixirs to people anymore?
Prime Minister Chen Lang was surprised and asked, "God, how do they earn the elixir?"
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "I have already discussed this with Prime Minister Ma. Those mortals with spiritual roots in the God Realm can go to the God Kingdom in the mortal world to earn immortal pills. They can choose to work as officials under Master Ma, or they can choose to learn to refine pills and tools, and they can also learn to refine tools and materials, build cities, control clouds and rain, plant and cultivate immortal herbs and spiritual medicines, cook and prepare dishes, etc.
In short, they can all rely on these to earn elixirs. Lord Ma will have people calculate what kind of work they will do in the mortal world, how long they will work, and how many elixirs they can earn. If they want to earn elixirs and cultivate to become immortals, they can apply to go to the mortal world.
You can also ask all the mortals with spiritual roots what they want to learn and do, so that you can make arrangements. "
So that's how it is.
Prime Minister Chen Lang pondered for a moment, then asked, "God, what if they want to become warriors of the Divine Dynasty and stay to fight in the Divine Realm?"
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "This is also possible, but they must practice the formation while cultivating. We can issue immortal pills according to their practice time and their mastery of the formation. For example, a general-level person who practices the formation for a month will be issued an immortal pill, and a king-level person who practices the formation for a month will be issued a bottle of immortal pills. Those who practice diligently and master the formation quickly can also be rewarded with immortal pills.
In short, we can't let them gain something without working for it, sit back and enjoy the fruits of their labor, sit there and practice every day, waiting for us to send them food, vegetables, and elixirs. We must let them understand what the way to survive is, we must let them know that elixirs are not easy to come by, and we must let them do their best to contribute to the Divine Dynasty, so that our Divine Dynasty can prosper."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, Lord God, I understand."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then ordered: "First, you select 500,000 officials. Those who have served as officials in those divine kingdoms will be given priority. If they are not enough, you can select some smart ones who can do things. After I enlighten this group of earth immortals and demon immortals, I will send them to the Prime Minister Ma.
These officials will calculate all the work and elixir rewards in the mortal world. Next month, we can send young and strong men at the king, general, and colonel levels to the mortal world in batches to earn elixir."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God, I will select these 500,000 officials as soon as possible."
Chen Jiu said to Tianzun Xi: "Master Xi, the demons under your command cannot be idle either. Next, I will equip them with immortal weapons and divine weapons, and arrange people to practice the formation."
Tianzun nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, no problem."
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully again, and then ordered: "Master Chen, these earth immortals, demon immortals, true gods, and demon gods in Demon God City can't be idle like this anymore.
It just so happens that Shui Ling and Bai Ling are here. Please make the arrangements. I will let Shui Ling and Bai Ling take turns to train the earth immortals and true gods and teach them how to arrange the Nine-Bend Formation. You can arrange for the demon immortals and demon gods to explore the eastern sea area and draw a map of this sea area for me first.
By then, we will be able to use the Nine Bends Formation to seal off the seas on both sides, so we won’t have to worry even if the Hongmeng Sect and the Western Sect discover our territory.”
Oh, this is great. I have always been worried that the people from Hongmeng Sect and Western Sect would get angry and attack us.
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God, I will make the arrangements shortly."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, and then asked: "Do you have any other suggestions?"
Yuyi Tianzun hurriedly said: "Master Jiu, since you plan to send people to explore the eastern sea area, can you also send people to build some cities on the islands in the sea?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Jiu was puzzled and asked, "Why would I send people to build a city on an island in the sea?"
Yuyi Tianzun explained: "I also thought of this when I saw the convoy connecting Jiuling Mountain and Fusang Divine Tree in the mortal world. Jiuling Mountain is more than 20,000 miles away from Fusang Divine Tree, and messages and even supplies can be transmitted in this way. In fact, Dongsheng Shenzhou of our Tongtian Sect is only more than 30,000 miles away from Qingmu Shenzhou.
We can build a few cities in the sea to connect Qingmu Shenzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou. Then we can send out a dozen convoys to transmit messages and even supplies, right? "
Chen Jiu nodded repeatedly and said, "Well, this is a good idea. The war in the divine world is about to begin. We really need to connect Qingmu Shenzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou as soon as possible. I will arrange someone to do it as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, Tian Jue Zhenjun pondered and said, "I have never seen the convoy that Master Peng mentioned, but I have seen people use true gods to send messages. Some true gods' consciousness can detect a hundred miles or so. As long as such a true god is arranged for every hundred miles, more than three hundred true gods can connect Qingmu Shenzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou.
By then, the message will be sent quickly. It will probably take less than a quarter of an hour to send the message from Qingmu Shenzhou to Dongsheng Shenzhou."
This is a great idea, it’s even faster than flash!
Chen Jiu thought about it carefully after hearing this, and then nodded decisively: "Well, when the time comes, we will build more than 300 cities on the islands in the sea, connecting Qingmu Shenzhou and Dongsheng Shenzhou together, and assign a true god to be the city lord of each city, so that we can achieve rapid communication."
My God, more than three hundred cities!
Yuyi Tianzun couldn't help but remind him, "Master Jiu, there may not be an island every hundred miles on the sea. In some places, there is no island for hundreds or even thousands of miles."
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "This is easy, we just need to pull the suspended island over."
Uh, okay, I forgot that I could pull the hanging island over.
Yuyi Tianzun nodded awkwardly and said, "Well, that's no problem."
Chen Jiu thought for a moment, and then said to Tianzun Xi: "Master Xi, the bird-like monsters should be trained first. I want to send them to explore the entire God Realm. There is no map of the God Realm yet, and we must draw the map of the God Realm before the war begins."
Hearing this, Tianzun nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay, no problem."
That should be about it now. The next step is to enlighten the earth immortals and demon immortals. There are more than a hundred thousand young and strong men at the peak of the king level and demons at the peak of the demon king level. How long will it take to finish enlightening them?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but sighed secretly, then stood up and said, "Okay, let's stop here for today. Lord Chen, please notify the young and strong men at the peak of the king level and the monsters at the peak of the monster king level to line up at the temple square. I will go and enlighten the earth immortals and monster immortals now."
