Vol 3 Chapter 24: demise

(Two chapters in one...)
In the next ten days, Chen Xun and the others organized hundreds of people to participate in the tug-of-war in Qianmoshahai on a small scale, relying on twelve mysterious thunder chariots, indicating that they had also fulfilled their corresponding responsibilities, but Their main energy is placed on the west foot of Tianzhu Peak, and three defensive arrays are re-arranged according to the spirit vein.
Prior to Ce Tianfu, only two mountain and river forbidden formations were given to Shenxiao Haoranzong, one was destroyed by the blue flames when the sea of ​​flames burst, and the other was placed at the southern foot of Tianzhu Peak.
The monsters are coming like a black tide, and the sixty-four pillars and mountains and rivers can only effectively protect the area of ​​two thousand square meters. The previous fierce battle has long proved that once forced to retreat to such a small area and hold on, the spiritual veins and the spiritual energy that can be gathered from a hundred miles in the spirit gathering circle are far from enough to supply the consumption of thousands of disciples.
The three spiritual veins at the western foot of Tianzhu Peak and the southwest foot of Tianzhu Peak must be used to form a formation to resist the fiercer attack of the Demon Race.
Wushan can’t refine the forbidden-level magic circle, but the Xuanyin heavy water formation is no better than the low-level mountain and river forbidden magic circle in terms of defensive power; and it can also perform many magical changes by using the water potential to kill monsters. .
Supplemented by twelve mysterious thunder chariots, Chisongzi, Hu Taiyan, and Zhao Chengen, can lead the disciples of the Xiao Haoranzong, guard the Tianzhu Peak as solid as a golden soup, and make the Xiao Haoranzong truly become the engine of blocking the northward movement of monsters. Tianjuzhu.
This is the deepest part of Tushan Mountain. The surrounding mountains are seven or eight thousand feet high, and the Tianzhu Peak is three to four thousand feet taller than the surrounding mountains.
In addition to the necessary training every day, Chen Xun and Ji Lie, Chisongzi, Chang Xi, and Zhao Chengen will climb the peak of Tianzhu Peak, where you can clearly see the sand sea of ​​Thousand Demons in the south, and the battle between the Duhu Mansion and the Demon Clan in the northwest. Is falling into a stalemate.
In addition to obtaining two hundred sets of restraints on gathering spirits from Wushan, Cetian Mansion also transferred a large number of refining masters to the Northwest Territory Duhu Mansion. Among them, there were several refining masters who had long been together with Yuan Wuhou Mansion. The spiritual prohibition was cracked out for imitation.
Over the years, the Duhu Mansion in the Northwest Territory has refined a total of three to four hundred chariots.
In addition to the six disciples of Longmen, Xuantian, and Tiandu, as well as disciples recruited from the various sects of the Northwest Territory, the Duhu Mansion of the Northwest Territory has assembled a total of 20,000 monks above the reincarnation stage.
The strength of the Duhufu at this time is not even weaker than when the Shenxiaozong was in its heyday. Although it is currently impossible to break the evil formations that the Demon Race has set up at the entrance of the Demon Ruins, it can actually be With the upper hand, thousands of monsters can be killed every day.
Jiang Bin led more than a hundred black armored generals to form a battle formation in mountains and rivers.
For a time, the morale of the guardian of the Northwest Territory was greatly boosted, and its prestige increased sharply. At the same time, more monks in the Northwest Territory also flocked to participate in this extremely hopeful battle of the Demons.

Chen Xun knew that the tempering potential of the Demon Race's physical body was one level higher than that of the human martial arts.
The area of ​​the Demon Ruins is actually ten times larger than that of Yunzhou. The number of these low-level monsters in the Demon Ruins is tens of billions or hundreds of billions.
Thousands of low-level monsters were killed in the Northwest Territory's Duhu Mansion, even if the wreckage of these low-level monsters was covered with the sand sea of ​​thousands of demon, it was meaningless.
The only thing that is reassuring at this time is that the demon clan has not been able to refine a stronger heaven and earth array, and there is no way to further open the space channel, so that the tyrannical demon above the sky demon level will enter Yunzhou.
The war is stuck, it seems that the Northwest Territory Protectorate still has the upper hand and morale is extremely high. It is also the last time for the four of them to twist together to adjust the lasting strategy.
On this day, Gu Wentian rushed to Tianzhu Peak to discuss the relocation of the sect. Chen Xun invited everyone to climb the Tianzhu Peak again, and told everyone about his consideration over the past ten days:
"I want Dongze to succeed me, take the position of Canglan Hou, and carry the burden."
"Ah..." Ji Lie, Chi Songzi and others were quite surprised. Tens of millions of wild tribesmen and one hundred thousand wild martial artists were gathered under Chen Xun's banner at this time. Wushan also gathered four hundred monks in the womb-returning realm. , Chen Xun is fully qualified to become the overlord of one party. I wonder why he suddenly made such a decision?
"Those people in the south see me as a thorn in my eye, and they know that as long as they can kill me, Wushan will instantly become a mess of sand. It is not a concern. At that time, the 30 million Canglan people will have no choice but to rely on them. If I continue to guard the seat of Canglanhou, Yuan Wuhou, True Monarch Scarlet Mei, Gu Yangzi, I will continue to find ways to kill me. Now I hand over the burden of Canglanhou, even if they hate me. , Instead of killing me eagerly..." Chen Xun said.
"This reason is too reluctant, right?" Ji Lie smiled.
"How can I say reluctance? Otherwise, I have to consider everything for the overall situation, and I have to swallow my breath to deal with these people, which is also very difficult for me. And I must also focus on cultivation and the magic circle and magic tools. , And I don’t have much time to deal with worldly affairs. In these years, I have actually lost a false name," Chen Xun said. "The safety of 30 million people is tied to me alone. These years have actually made me unable to breathe. I am angry. Qian Jianzong and Mengshan Sect have all moved to Tushan. Naturally, I will put such a heavy responsibility on Sect Master Ji and Uncle Gu. I believe that Sect Master Ji and Uncle Gu can live in the world. For the one who thinks..."
Chisongzi, Ji Lie, and Hu Taiyan are all people who seek the truth, and will not reluctantly give up on the worldly power. If the Northwestern region had not suffered a catastrophe, they would not enter the world this time; see Chen Xun also determined to cultivate and pursue higher cultivation For the realm, he can also understand his fear of being entangled in mundane affairs.
"Dongze has no virtue and incompetence, how can he take on this important task?" Ji Lie said, thinking that since Chen Xun wants to surrender the position of Canglan Hou to others, Su clan lord Su Shousi, and Wu Mang descendant Zongya are on Tianzhu Peak. , Even Zhao Chengen is more suitable for this seat than his only son Ji Dongze, and said to Chen Xun, "You must be lazy, I think Chengen is more suitable to take this burden."
"Shen Xiao Haoran Dao upholds the Haoran Heavenly Dao, and can help the prince to protect the people, but not the prince, Sect Master Ji, don't break my Dao heart." Zhao Chengen smiled.
Chen Xun originally liked Zhao Chengen to succeed Canglan Hou, but Zhao Chengen's theory of "may be a general, not a prince" made him confused.
Except for Zhao Chengen, he can only take Ji Dongze out at this time to take on this drudgery.
But under the current situation, they want to convene loose repairs in the Northwest Territory to participate in Tushan Defense, and only Ji Lie has this reputation.
When Akamatsuko enlightened the Tao, he caught a glimpse of the secret and said that his chance was not in the God Xiao Haoran Sect.
He refining the blood of the Profound Essence, wants to break through the bottleneck of the Yuan Dan realm, and when the situation here stabilizes a little, he will find a way to leave Yunzhou, which coincides with the secret secret of Chi Songzi.
He has no way to be here, leading the Canglan people to defend the demon for hundreds of years.
This burden must be handed over.
Late is worse than early.
Chen Xun said, "We all support Dongze, and Dongze has this qualification. Uncle Gu, what do you think?"
Gu Wentian nodded and said, "Chen Xun gave Dongze the position of Canglan Hou, and I also think Dongze is suitable."
He knew that Chen Xun's ability to abandon Canglanhou's position at such a critical moment and surrender to Ji Lie's only son, Du Dongze, not only had his transcendence, but also his mature consideration.
No matter how fast Wushan rises, and Chen Xun has the talent for cultivation, he will definitely not be able to form a force against Yuan Wuhou Mansion within a hundred years.
But when the four of them are twisted together, the situation is completely different, at least they can fight against the court of Yuan Wuhou Mansion.
However, the Four Sects use Wushan as the core or the Thousand Swords Sect as their core. They do not matter, but the following disciples and other Northwestern cultivators who want to join the Four Sects have different mentalities. of.
Ji Lieyuan's pill realm has been completed, and he will be able to officially enter the Dharma realm after a dozen or twenty years of fire.
And even if he hadn't been promoted to the Dharma Realm at this time, with a big Xiaoyao sword, his combat power might not be under the red pine seeds, the Cangyazi and others.
Ji Lie was only 150 years old at this time, and all the sects regarded him as the most promising person in the Northwest Territory for thousands of years.
With such prestige, Ji Lie was able to respond to each other in the Northwest Territories and fight against Jiang Hao, the Marquis of Yuan Wu.
According to the rules established by Yunzhou for thousands of years, if Chen Xun had no intention of secular authority, then the secular authority of Canglan should be inherited by the heirs of Ji Lie, the first of the four sects.
Therefore, Ji Dongze, the son of Ji Lie of the Four Sects, succeeded Chen Xun as Canglan Hou. The disciples of the four Sects will be convinced, which is more conducive to twisting the power of the Four Sects together.
In addition, Ji Dongze has limited talents in cultivation, but it is precisely because of limited cultivation talents that he will be able to devote all his energy to secular affairs in the next hundred years.
Thirty million wild tribesmen will move from the southern foot of Wushan to the northwestern foot of Tushan to settle down, supporting the huge consumption of people and materials on the four lines of defense; there must be one person who can be recognized by the four sects and must be completely sacrificed Only with personal practice can I have the energy to deal with such complicated worldly affairs.
Chen Xun's prestige is mainly concentrated among the wild tribesmen, but among the wild tribes there is a lack of monks with advanced cultivation and powerful combat capabilities.
The situation in the Northwest Territory in the future is really going to be as they predicted. The rout is out of control. The Northwest Territory does not know how many sects will suffer the disaster of the ruined sect. At that time, only Ji Lie has the prestige and can let The displaced monks from the Northwest Territories gathered in Beiling to strengthen the four sects and the Canglan Hou Mansion.
The secrets of the Xuyuan Palace cannot be made public, and Chen Xun had no such reputation before Jin entered the Dharma Realm.
There has never been a reason why a real Yuan Dan leads his disciples to turn to Tian Yuan monk.
Seeing that Gu Wentian, Chisongzi, Hu Taiyan, and Zhao Chengen all agreed with Chen Xun's opinions, Ji Lie did not refuse to resign, and it is definitely a chore to succeed as Canglan Hou.

Canglan Hou was established by four schools.
In addition to the four sects of Shenxiao Haoran Sect, Qianjian Sect, Mengshan Sect, and Wushan Sect, which are stuck in the defense line like nails, the four sects will also be based on the Canglan Hou Mansion with Zhao Chengen, Su Shousi, Gu Chengzhuo, Tie Xintong, Gu Jianfeng and others set up eight-pillar generals. From the four sects, they selected a thousand disciples who had the ability to dominate the fetuses and mixed them with 100,000 barbarians to formally form the Canglan Army.
One hundred thousand wild martial arts seem to have considerable combat power, but in fact, when pulled into the battlefield, they may not be able to withstand the crazy attack of one hundred thousand low-level monsters.
However, if there are a thousand surviving monks incorporated, the combat power of one hundred thousand brutal warriors may be greatly improved in a short time.
At the same time, in the name of four sects, the Northwest Region will be invited to join the Canglan Hou Mansion.
The Mengshan Sect rebuilt the gate in a male ridge where the four peaks gathered 500 miles northwest of Tianzhu Peak.
The four peaks converge, and there are nine spiritual veins within a radius of one hundred miles. This kind of terrain is extremely defensive. In addition to Gu Wentian, in addition to the nine Tianyuan and three hundred disciples who returned to the womb, Gu Chengzhuo also led another 10,000 barbarians to guard.
In the past few decades of Qianjianzong, five disciples also cultivated Lingyuan and entered the Tianyuan realm. They rebuilt the gate in a valley basin six hundred miles north of Yanxialing.
Chen Xun used Xu Yuanzhu to move the stone statue of the ancestor of the Thousand Sword Sect to Xinshanmen on the north side of Yanxia Mountain.
Four Sects were also to the north of Qianjianzong Mountain Gate, rebuilding Canglan City and Canglan Hou Mansion.
Only when Ji Dongze entered the late stage of the womb-returning stage did he develop eight spiritual veins.
All Yunzhou's spiritual cultivation secret arts require more than nine spiritual veins to operate. Although Ji Dongze is young, only in his thirties, he has no hope of entering Tianyuan.
Ji Dongze worried that his personal reputation was low and could not bear the heavy responsibility of Canglan Hou, and shirk in every possible way, but Chen Xun, Gu Wentian, Chi Songzi, Hu Taiyan, and Zhao Chengen all recognized him. Come down.
After the ceremony of renunciation at Tianzhu Peak, Ji Dongze hurried to Wushan with Chen Xun to take over the authority of Canglanhou.
Chen Xunpian chose to quit, and wanted to give the title of Marquis Canglan to Ji Dongze, the son of Ji Lie. Under the current situation, Ce Tianfu can only pinch his nose to recognize it.
In addition, Chen Xun also advocated the establishment of Canglan Academy under the Canglan Marquis Mansion, which was responsible for recruiting young people with cultivation qualifications from tens of millions of wild tribes to cultivate the foundation of cultivation; including the 20,000 gathered in Wushan at this time. The disciples of Canglan Academy were all transferred to Canglan New City for resettlement.
The disciples of the waiting-learning palace cultivate to the late stage of the true sun realm, and then depending on their aptitudes in sword, Taoism, or instrumental cultivation, they are sent to the four sects for deeper cultivation.
The disciples who have achieved success in cultivation and are expected to cultivate to a higher level will continue to stay in the sect to practice, and the rest will be incorporated into the Canglan Mansion and the Canglan Army.
In this way, the Four Sects can be completely freed from secular affairs.
The Qianjianzong Mountain Gate and the newly built place of Canglan City, the strange shape of the gathering of spiritual veins, are more than Canglongji, but a large number of people and materials gathered in Canglan New City, and Canglan New City is in the topography. It is more prominent, and the defense situation is extremely sinister.
If the defense line of the Northwest Territory Guard Army collapses, it will be difficult to withstand the invasion of hundreds of thousands of monsters only by the defense of the gates of the Thousand Sword Sect.
In addition to Su Shousi and Tie Xintong, who led the control of 40,000 barbarians and stationed in the new site of Canglan City, the four sects also squeezed out two hundred monks from the womb-returning realm and ten Xuan Thunder chariots were incorporated into the Canglan House.
Zhou Yang led more than one hundred refiner masters and more than a thousand Kuilong Pavilion disciples to be incorporated into Canglan Hou's Mansion, and was responsible for the mining of mineral veins and the refining of low-level Xuanbing Lingjia and Qingyan Lotus Arrow.
Su Lingyin, Qianlan, Su Tang, and others have all achieved success in sword cultivating in the Qianjian Sect over the years, and Su Lingyin has successfully advanced to the Heavenly Origin Realm.
Qianlan has also cultivated divine consciousness, and she can cultivate Lingyuan in one step, and her psychic sword heart's bloodline talent is suitable for sword repair, so she formally worships Ji Lie's school to modify the Daxiaoyao Sword Art.
Su Tang and Chang Xi stayed in Qianjianzong for the time being, helping to guard Canglan New City.
Su Lingyin and Zuo Qingmu had been in love with each other sixty years ago, but before the two had a great difference in cultivation and status, they had been together for decades.
The Su clan had fallen apart a long time ago, and Su Lingyin officially joined Wushan with Chen Xun this time, in fact, in order to get together with Zuo Qingmu.

Chen Xun returned to Wushan, but he still couldn't relax.
Not only does the four lines of defense require a large number of Xuanyin chariots and Xuanyin heavy water formations, but every new city built in the rear requires at least one Xuanyin heavy water formation to prevent thousands of wild people from becoming Disperse the meat of monster hunting.
During the seven years that Chen Xun was trapped in the sea of ​​flames, in addition to Su Junyuan and others, even A Gongzong Tu also used secret methods to forcibly cultivate into a soul.
The Twelve Profound Development Spirit Armor can enable twelve cultivators in the womb-returning realm with an original spirit to display the strength of the Yuan Dan realm and the defensive power realm. In the past seven years, they are really Wu The mountain guards against the mysterious force of Yuan Wuhou Mansion.
The biggest flaw is the use of secret methods to forcibly mold the soul, and the twelve people such as Su Junyuan have only 20 years left.
A Gongzongtu had just passed eighty at this time. Even if he had no hope of entering the Heavenly Origin Realm in his life, he still had seventy years to live. This actually reduced his life span by fifty years.
Chen Xun was trapped in the sea of ​​flames. The situation in Wushan was dangerous and the people were panicked. Although the Yuan Wuhou Mansion did not kill, but it also repeatedly provoked. Wushan must have the determination to break the net before it can be called Yuan Wuhou Mansion. Some convergence.
When Chen Xun returned to Wushan, he also knew that covering water was difficult to harvest, and the defensive pressure of Shenxiao Haoranzong was so great that Su Junyuan and A Gongzong could only let them go to Tianzhu Peak, and join Zhao Chengen and Hu Taiyan to guard against the defense line of the capital at any time It might crash...
Nan Li failed to break through Xuan Qiao. After he was over seventy years old, his energy was not as strong as before, and he could no longer bear the burden of Wushan City Lord; after Chen Xun returned this time, Zong Ya took over the position of Wushan City Lord.
In the past seven years, a total of three hundred disciples from the Three Thousand Academy have broken through the Xuanqiao and entered the birth-returning realm; in 100,000 Manwuli, nearly a hundred people have broken through the Xuanqiao and advanced to the birth-returning realm in the past seven years.
Most of them were incorporated into the Canglan Army, and a small number also moved east with the Canglan Academy to participate in the construction of Canglan New City.
The 30 million wild tribesmen are their wives and children, and they naturally have the responsibility to guard the northwestern foothills of Tushan Mountain.
For ten years, the mighty Wushan City once gathered five to six hundred thousand people. At this time, they all began to evacuate to Longqiutan and other newly built fortresses to the north; the authority will also be transferred to Canglan New City at the fastest speed.
And the main transit point for the 30 million barren tribes in Canglan to move north was White Wolf City, three hundred miles away.
At this time, Gu Jianfeng led more than a hundred return to the womb realm cultivator, and 20,000 elite martial arts stationed in White Wolf City.
In order to facilitate the defense, Wushan City itself was built extremely small, only ten miles in radius, and the buildings in the city were in order. However, with the withdrawal and evacuation of a large number of people and materials, the camps outside the city were suddenly empty and desolate.
Tens of thousands of people began to clean up the camps outside the city, and they could sort out tens of thousands of acres of pasture to graze white-tailed yaks.

Standing on the top of Canglong's spine and looking at the slightly desolate Wushan City, Chen Xun was also full of emotion.
At this time, in Wushan City, apart from Zong Ya, Ge Yi, Gu Feng, Zong Ling and others who led five thousand barbarians, Su Lingyin, Lei Wanhe, Zuo Qingmu, Jiang Bingyun, Qingxuan, and Kuilong Pavilion had more than forty trainings. Qi master and more than one hundred Kuilong Pavilion disciples.
The relatives of each person and the disciples, plus some common people, total more than 30,000.
The situation is really about to change irreversibly, so many people can temporarily take refuge in the Void Realm.
"I have handed over the burden now, and I am all relaxed," Chen Xun turned his head and said with Qingxuan and Jiang Bingyun behind him, "I am not qualified to start a sect at this time, but the foreign association officially used the name of Kuilong Pavilion to communicate with Qian. Jianzong, Wushanzong, and Shenxiao Haoranzong joined forces, formed an offensive and defensive alliance, and participated in the decision-making affairs of Canglan Marquis Mansion. Zuo Qingmu, Su Lingyin, Lei Wanhe, Zhou Yang, Tie Xintong, and you two, Let's all serve as the elders of Kuilong Pavilion together!"
"I have worked hard for ten years, but I haven't cultivated spiritual consciousness. I am afraid that I have no hope of being promoted to Tianyuan. Where can I be qualified to serve as an elder?" Qing Xuan said.
Although Zuo Qingmu hadn't been promoted to Tianyuan, he had long cultivated spiritual consciousness. In fact, Kuilong Pavilion's many refining affairs were inseparable from him over the years, and he did not retreat to cultivate Lingyuan.
In addition to Zuo Qingmu, Lei Wanhe, Su Lingyin, Zhou Yang, Tie Xintong, and Aunt Yun next to her are all powerful in the Heavenly Origin Realm, so they are naturally qualified to serve as elders and jointly decide on the affairs of Kuilong Pavilion. .
Gu Jianfeng, Zong Ya and others, if they return to Kuilong Pavilion in the future, their cultivation will be far above her.
A few years ago, she was convinced that Chen Xun was in danger. When she hurried back to Wushan from Qian Jianzong, she recognized Jiang Bingyun and knew about the affairs between Jiang Bingyun and Chen Xun.
The more so, the more saddened she felt, thinking that she and Chen Xun might have no fate after all.
"With your qualifications, it is more than enough to cultivate the Yuan Dan. You have not cultivated the Divine Sense, but you still owe Huo Hou. If you are worried that you have no hope of entering the Tian Yuan realm, there are shortcuts." Chen Xun said.
"How can there be a shortcut to practice?" Qing Xuan said that, but her beautiful eyes looked at Chen Xun expectantly.
"There is a secret technique that Bingyun can teach you." Chen Xun said, reaching out his hand to remove the mask on Jiang Bingyun's face.
Jiang Bingyun thought Chen Xun would have a shortcut to help Qingxuan break through the current bottleneck. He didn't expect that he would hit her on her body. Then the mask suddenly asked him to take off. In front of Qingxuan, it was as if he was naked without being covered. Unprepared, his face flushed with shame.
Qing Xuan's mind is also transparent. Seeing Aunt Yun's embarrassment, how could she not understand that the so-called secret technique is definitely not a serious Taoist magic technique. She glared at Chen Xun and said strangely: "It must be some magic technique, you are evil. Aunt Yun, don't harm me again."
Qing Xuan flew away, and Chen Xun looked at Jiang Bingyun.
Although the strongest person in the womb-returning realm has a lifespan of 150 years old at most, it is impossible for the Qi and Blood True Yang to remain at the peak state forever. it is good.
It's just that Chen Xun actually asked her to persuade Qingxuan to practice the jade pill formula, Jiang Bingyun couldn't wait to kick him in the face, and said, "How can you be such a rascal?"
Chen Xun put his hands on his chest and asked, "Do you hope that Qing Xuan has no hope of cultivating Ling Yuan in this life?"
Jiang Bing Yunlian stomped, thinking that she really had to go to Qingxuan to untie each other's knots. R1058
