Vol 5 Chapter 40: Qing Wang Shizi

The crater on which the space passage is located is shaped like a giant furnace, all of which are fire-brown rock formations, also known as Tongluling, and the fort is located on the plateau at the southern foot of Tongluling.
Copperforge is the center of controlling the entry and exit of the secret realm of the heavenly furnace. In the past two years, the Shenwei Army has transferred a large number of slave laborers from Yunzhou, digging and quarrying the copper furnace ridge, melting copper and iron, and pouring it on the city wall.
At this time, the copper fortress can be said to be a real copper wall and iron wall, which is as high as thirty feet. Even if the formation restriction is not activated, the pill-forming monster beast cannot smash the city wall from the front.
Having said that, the aura that can be gathered by the underground veins of Copperforge is extremely limited, even if the ban-level magic circle is activated, the additional protection that can be provided is quite limited.
Chen Xun, real person Wu Yi, and Su Muchen flew over the copper fort, and saw a large number of clouds floating in the protective spirit cover, and they knew that the Eight Desolate Banner in the hands of King Qing had already taken root in the copper fort. .
On the wasteland, slave laborers are like dense ant colonies, transporting large amounts of copper and iron ore to Copperforge for smelting.
Although these selected slave laborers are extremely strong, but directly exposed to the fiery flames of the sky, the end is usually extremely miserable, and the life of two or three years is already the limit.
For Jiang, who controls a huge population, mortal lives are the least valuable resource.
During this time, Chen Xun spent the entire time in Qingwuling retreat to refine the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation, but from Su Shousi and Su Wuyang, he learned that the 400,000 slave workers transferred into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm by the God Guards in the past two years have already had 100,000. People died in the wasteland, it can be described as a lot of corpses.
Seeing all this, Su Wuyang, who was flying behind Chen Xun, was silent, knowing that if it were not for Chen Xun to protect him and the three hundred soldiers, the one hundred thousand children of the Su family who moved to Yuzhou would not be able to escape. Bleak fate.
Entering the copper fort, Chen Xun felt that the protective spirit shield was too much cooler than the outside under the cover of a large number of clouds. From the air flowing around, he could also feel the existence of heaven and earth aura, darkly feeling the eight he refined. There is still a huge gap between the Wild Profound Tower Banner and the Eight Wild Banners, which are upright and eight classics, and they need to be continuously improved.
Chen Xun, Su Muchen, and Wu Yi entered the copper fort, and Qing Wang Jiang Lan called them into the hall to meet.
Qing Wang Jiang Lan and Songhe Zhenjun sat side by side on the jade seat in the center of the main hall. Seeing Chen Xun and the others come in, they eagerly exclaimed: "I haven't seen him for a year, Chen Zhenren has improved his cultivation."
In the sky over the Qingjiang River, Qing Wang Jiang Lan severely inflicted the scene of Bi-eyes and Qinglin with the avatar of the soul, leaving a deep impression on Chen Xun, knowing that although Qing Wang Jiang Lan was still a short distance away from the realm of heaven and man, the soul The cultivation base is extremely strong, and he has cultivated the magical powers of Lihuo Zhentong. His slight changes in the cultivation base realm can't hide from King Qing's sharp eyes for the time being.
"Mostly thanks to the blessing of the prince, Chen Xun has indeed gained something during this period of retreat." Chen Xunji saluted and sat down with Su Muchen and Wu Yi, respectively, under Su Junchen and Yanling County Lord.
Before them, many people had rushed to Copperforge, and they were summoned by King Qing to have a banquet in the hall.
These are the core figures in the clans that support Qing Wang Jiang Lan. True Monarch Songhe and True Person Wu Yi also come from these clans; the children of these clans are also the absolute main force of the Shenwei Army.
At that time, Emperor Xiwu expelled the Ji clan and called it the emperor Yunzhou, and there were thirty-six gods and generals who could follow him. At this time, King Qing wanted to win the race for the throne, and he definitely needed the support of many clan forces.
It's just that these clans, except for the Su clan of Yuzhou, the Wei clan of Tianshui County who was born in Songhe Zhenjun, and the Wu clan of Dongquan County who was born in Wu Yi, the strength of the other clans are quite average, equivalent to the second and third sects of Yunzhou. .
In comparison, the strength of the Wushan Four Sects at this time is already extraordinary.
Chen Xun entered the hall, and the seats were only arranged under Jiang Nanke, Su Junchen, Su Muchen, Jiang Yunxian, and Wu Yi Zhenren; even Su Wuyang, who accompanied Chen Xun into the copper fort, had a seat in the corner of the hall.

Qing Wang Jiang Lan pulled a young man in a golden silk python gown sitting next to him, and introduced Chen Xun: "Chen Zhenren, you haven't had a chance to meet Nan Ke yet?"
As the seventeenth son of Emperor Xiwu, Qing Wang Jiang Lan has a life span of more than two thousand years.
In the past two thousand years, in addition to the young daughter of Yanling County Lord Jiang Yunxian, Qing Wang Jiang Lan has also had 120 other heirs. The direct descendants are even more unknown, and it is impossible for Chen Xunjuan to recognize them all.
Among the descendants of King Jiang Lan of Qing Dynasty, those who were really valued were the thirteen people headed by the elder son Jiang Nanke and the lord of Yanling County Jiang Yunxian, who were cultivated above the Yuan Dan realm.
Prior to this, Jiang Nanke, the elder son, had been practicing in the Tianjun Great World. Chen Xun hugged King Qing's thigh, and he naturally had no chance to meet him in the past three or four years.
Jiang Nanke is not the eldest son of King Jiang Lan of Qing Dynasty. He was born and practiced for only two hundred years, but his mother is the younger sister of Su Junchen and Su Muchen, and is also the sister of True Monarch Songhe. , Therefore was established as the son of the world.
Seeing Jiang Nanke Qianran's chief giving a salute, Chen Xun hurriedly got up and returned the gift. After listening to King Qing's words, he learned that Jiang Nanke's entrustment of Tianhuo County this time, including the Tianhuo Mountain Range, will formally become his fate.
Qing Wang Jiang Lan also wanted to preemptively take the ancestral volcano of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm in terms of reputation.
All this went smoothly, indicating that True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrows, Jiang Bin, and Lord Chunling behind them, have not yet realized the importance of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm.
In their eyes, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm may become extremely important after 10,000 to 20,000 years, but how many people are willing to invest a lot of resources and manpower into the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to operate?
Except for the extremely longevity of a few sacred beasts and monsters with pure blood, the human beings who are strong in the heaven and human realm can't live beyond 10,000 to 20,000 years.
Perhaps in their eyes, they even guessed that King Qing had already retreated at this time, really wanting to pave the way for himself in the secret realm of the heavenly furnace.
Once the race for the throne is lost, the Qing king's family will naturally find it difficult to gain a foothold in Yunzhou, and it is undoubtedly a choice to lead his descendants into exile in the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Furnace.
This time, in addition to Jiang Nanke being named Tianhuo County lord, Su Wuyang and other sixteen people, who are also being named the city lord of Qingwu and other cities, are nominally loyal to the prince of Qing Dynasty and Jiang Nanke, Tianhuo County lord.
Of course, everyone didn't care about this. When I rushed to Copperforge to discuss the matter, I was more concerned about how to manage the Skyfire Mountain Range.
And this time, the king of Qing sent his son Jiang Nanke into the secret realm of Heavenly Furnace to take charge of all affairs, and he was also determined to increase the strength of the secret realm of Heavenly Furnace.
The eruption of the sky volcano has not ceased, but the first-rate character of True Monarch Songhe can already perceive the earth-shattering changes in the secret realm of the heavenly furnace from the veins.
Su Muchen took this opportunity to quickly stoke Chen Xun's refining of the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation in Qingwu Mountain in the hall.
He was also afraid that Chen Xun would go back and lose the opportunity to obtain the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation.
"The Eight Desolation Profound Pagoda Formation made by Wushan is really similar to the Eight Desolation Banner?" Qing Wang Jiang Lan was also shocked when he heard it.
"The Eight Desolation Banner is a heavenly magic weapon that can only be refined by the ancient sect of the Tianjun Great World. How can you compete with the sun and the moon with Wushan's subtle skills?" Chen Xun laughed, "King Qing stayed with me this time in Copperforge After staying for a few days, I happened to take this opportunity to copy the refining method of the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation and dedicated it to King Qing."
"As the first master craftsman in the northwestern region of Yunzhou, Chen Zhenren can arrogantly belittle himself," King Qing was so excited that he wanted to invite Chen Xun to sit down beside him, "Although the Eight Desolation Banner is mysterious, I have tried my best. It was only obtained from the father's hand. In the copper fortress, it was hosted by a real Yuandan, and it could only generate a thousand zhang ice fields. If you can refine the Eight Desolate Profound Pagodas in the sky furnace in the future, you can truly release it. Brilliant."
Everyone present was shocked by the words.
The Eight Desolation Banner is good, but it is an unattainable magic weapon of the celestial ranks. The method of refining is also the secret secret of the ancient sects in the Tianjun Great World. They have to take at least two or three heavens if they want to obtain it. Order magic weapons to exchange.
Not the descendants of the thirty-six generals, which family can have two or three heavenly magic weapons in their hands?
In comparison, the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation that Chen Xun can refine in October is what everyone really needs at this time.
Speaking of the ban on gathering spirits, the ancient sects of the Tianjun Great World are not without similar formation bans, and they are even much more subtle and powerful, but it is precisely the ban on gathering spirits that spread from Wushan. The method of refining is simple and simple. Easy to do, Yunzhou's second-rate refining device sect can be refined, which is the key to restraining the gathering of spirits in Yunzhou for decades.
Everyone was worried about the long-term stay in the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Furnace. Hearing that Chen Xun was able to offer the refining method of the Eight Desolation Profound Pagoda Formation, King Qing was also so excited that he laughed and said: " The basic formation of the ban on gathering spirits was dedicated to the emperor father, and the emperor was extremely pleased. He immediately bestowed three water pill pills on Jiang Hao. For a long time, no one knew that Jiang Hao, the Marquis of Yuan Wu, was actually stealing Wushan Mountain. This king doesn't have three jade pill pills, Chen Chen, what do you want this king to reward you?"
A jade pill of jade marrow is refined from the flesh and blood essence of a whole adult jade dragon, vertebral marrow jade liquid, blood from the heart of the dragon, and jade pill. The pill is slightly worse, but it is a heavenly treasure pill that Yunzhou has been hard to find for thousands of years.
There are a lot of pill-forming monsters in Falling Star Sea, but who has that fate to slay the pill?
Jiang Bin's ability to improve his cultivation base by leaps and bounds over the years was mainly due to the absorption of the essence of the two dragons.
Three dragon marrow pills are enough to be worth one dragon marrow golden liquid pill.
Chen Xun’s dragon marrow golden liquid pill has been completely used up. If there are three dragon marrow jade liquid pill, it is naturally good, but even in the hands of King Qing, it will not be able to take out three dragon marrow jade liquid pill at a time. .
"Every family has a ragged road and entered the Secret Realm of the Heavenly Furnace to open up wasteland. When we are in the same boat, Chen Xun is just giving me a meager effort. How can I ask for any reward?" Chen Xun refused.
"How can this be done? If there is no reward for merits, and if there is no punishment, this king will become the master of mediocrity?" King Qing laughed and asked True Monarch Songhe, "Mr Wei, how do you think this king will reward True Man Chen? ?"
True Monarch Songhe smiled and said: "The Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation is the secret of Wushan Mountain and should not be spread too widely. According to my point of view, King Qing can set up a gate in the heavenly furnace and is responsible for refining tools and teaching disciples. Instructed the refining method of the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation, the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation refined within a hundred years will receive one for King Qing, one for Wushan, and the rest will be shared equally by each family..."
"Well, Zhenjun Wei has a wonderful idea. This sect might as well be called Tianluzong." King Qing laughed, his eyes swept toward everyone, wanting to see if no one else objected. .
Chen Xun also felt that Songhe Zhenjun's strategy was very good.
Previously, the clans that supported King Qing had their power mainly concentrated in the Shenwei Army, but the Shenwei Army was directly led by Ce Tianfu, and King Qing could only promote many things behind the scenes and could not directly interfere.
At this time, a special sect was established, and a part of the power of the sect was gathered into the sect, and it could be directly used by King Qing.
At that time, Chen Xun would have to select some children from Canglan and send them to Tianluzong to practice in order to show his firm stand on King Qing's side.
Of course, the more realistic benefit for Wushan is that without investing any resources or manpower, one-third of the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation refined by the Heavenly Furnace Sect can be obtained within a hundred years.
The families themselves were with King Qing through in-laws and teacher biography. Once King Qing loses the race for the throne, although the families will not be purged, they will also be suppressed by the new emperor in Yunzhou.
What's more, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm has evolved into a new and complete universe, and it is really necessary to have the Hongmeng Yuanxi. The sects will send the most elite children to the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm to practice, and there will be unspeakable benefits. At this time, they naturally agree with Songhe True Lord's suggestion. R1058
