Vol 5 Chapter 42: Two-year contract

The two-year appointment period is approaching, and the disciples of the battalions of the Lingtian Army and the Butian Pavilion have also returned to the copper fort to rest and prepare to withdraw from the sky furnace.
Although entering the depths of the Celestial Furnace Secret Realm this time to slay many Balrogs, Fire Apes and other monsters, the casualties of the battalions of the Spirit Heaven Army were not light, and the consumption in the Celestial Furnace Secret Realm was even greater.
It must be said what advantage was taken, that is, many disciples of Butian Pavilion, this time received a lot of training.
Capture and kill flame monsters, fire apes, and other flame fire monsters, and the materials obtained from the sky flame stones, sky flame beads, etc., are of great benefit to the Jiang imperial family's children in the practice of the Great Sun Heart Sutra and the Great Sun Sky Sword.
The cultivation of Jiang Yunxian and others are extremely diligent, but this is limited to the direct descendants of the Jiang family.
True Monarch Chimei, Jiang Bin, Tian Heng and others have been trying to capture the fire-winged demon ape alive. Although they have tracked down several times, they have been able to escape several rounds, and they have damaged many manpower.
The low-level monks and ordinary soldiers are not worth cherishing, and only through such a cruel survival of the fittest can they cultivate true elites.
Jiang Bin, Tian Heng and others only care about whether the elite power of the direct line has been strengthened.
Only seeing King Qing's family have transferred such a huge amount of resources into the secret realm of the Heavenly Furnace in the past two years, Jiang Bin is also full of doubts, and this matter can only be discussed with True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrow.
"The behavior of King Qing during this period is too unusual."
"Mr Chunling is deeply entrenched in Yunzhou, Emperor Xiwu has also called him many times in recent years to ask for advice. Is this King Qing looking for a way out for himself?" Tian Heng said nonchalantly after drinking while sitting in the jade case.
The ancestor of the Tian clan is an existence beyond the realm of heaven and human. There are also three peerless powers in the realm of heaven and human in the clan. Their strength is second to none among the descendants of the 36 gods.
Tian's family was sealed by Kunzhou at this time.
Kunzhou, as a middle-thousand world, the local clans and sect forces are not weak, and it is not so easy to subdue. At this time, the Tian family is still insufficient in opening up the territory in Kunzhou, and will not participate too deeply in the turbulent competition for the emperor of Yunzhou. Go undercurrent.
Having said that, since everyone is optimistic about Junling Jun, if Tian Clan does not say anything at this time, in the future Chunling Jun will inherit the throne, Tian Clan will also find it extremely difficult to obtain strong support in Yunzhou.
Based on this mentality, most of Tian's disciples in Butian Pavilion are also close to those of Chunling Jun.
Jiang Bin also took advantage of Tian Heng's private grievance with Chen Xun, and tried his best to draw him over during this time.
Jiang Bin said: "I have also considered what Brother Tian said, but so many clans, following King Qing, transferred a large number of children and clan martial arts into the furnace, which is somewhat strange. At this time, the furnace is far away. It’s not that easy to gain a foothold."
In the past two years, they have gone deep into the heart of Tianlu, knowing the hardships.
The cultivation base is above the Tianyuan realm, it is better; the disciples of the fetal realm have suffered the burning of Tianyan Gangsha, and the cultivation base has even deteriorated.
Emperor Xiwu is unlikely to decide the candidate for the throne in a hundred years, even if King Qing pave the way for retreat, there is no need to transfer so many people and resources into the furnace at once.
"Qing Wang's son Jiang Nanke is working on refining an array that is similar to the Eight Desolate Banners, which can attract the earth vein Xuansha to transform the profound ice in the heavenly furnace," said the red eyebrow Zhenjun, "It is said that this array is According to Wushan, they may use the magic circle to build dots of fortresses in the sky furnace..."
True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrows has a cultivation base of heaven and human realm, and the copper fortress is only two thousand meters in radius. How can it be hidden from him?
Even though the refining method of the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation and the matter of the Hongmeng Yuanxi are strictly kept secret at this time, the county government and the sects have talked about the Eight Desolate Profound Pagoda Formation privately during this period, and there are still some things that have been missed. Into his ears.
"Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation?" Jiang Bin was shocked when he heard this. He quickly thought of the Eight Desolate Banner of Yuan Wuhou Mansion, which had fallen into Chen Xun's hands for a year, and said in shock, "Chen Xun is a thief. It is to break the barriers of the Bahuang Banner."
"How is it possible that the Bahuang Banner is the heavenly treasure refined by the upper realm sect. If the array restrictions that were refined into it were so easy to break, it would have become a rotten street goods." Tian Heng laughed, and felt that Jiang Bin's words are too exaggerated.
"Brother Tian may not believe that this thief Chen Xun can be regarded as the first master craftsman in the Northwest Territory. He is indeed unique."
Jiang Bin said solemnly,
"Chen Xun, this thief only returned to the womb realm, he created a new basic formation method for the restraint of gathering spirits, and in the sand thief crypt in Wutengshahai, he only spent half a year to promote the formation of the four pillars, mountains and rivers. It is forbidden to gather spirits. I don’t want to believe such a thing, but it is a fact. My Yuanwu Mansion used to have an Eight Desolate Banner, but I accidentally fell into the hands of Chang Xi, a true disciple of Shenxiaozong. Gu Yangzi ordered Chang Xi to return the Bahuang Banner, but Chang Xi forcibly intercepted the Bahuang Banner for a year, and it was later proved that the Bahuang Banner fell into Chen Xun's hands during this time. , Or know this..."
True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrows nodded, indicating that he had indeed heard of this from Gu Yangzi, and said:
"Before Tian Zhenren and Chen Xun were able to resist the flame demon in the sky volcano. The supernatural power of Chen Xun's body refining ability is probably the broken star fist that was realized from the Bidou Xuanbing printing method. This kind of body refining Supernatural powers, Junling Jun also took several years to comprehend, and when it comes to the comprehension of the tactics of the battle, perhaps few people in Yunzhou can match Chen Xun."
"There are really people in the world, with such a gifted understanding of formation control?" Tian Heng knew that True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrow would never need to exaggerate, but it was hard to believe that Chen Xun had the ability to break the formation control of the heavenly treasure.
Jiang Bin looked at True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrows and said: "Mr Chunling transferred Chen Xun to Xuanjing to serve. He wanted to suppress it, making it difficult for him to do anything. Perhaps Mr. Chunling did not expect that this thief could hold him so quickly. The thigh of King Qing, right?"
True Monarch Scarlet Eyebrows frowned slightly, and the evolution of many things far exceeded his expectations.
Although he was one of the five princes of Ce Tianfu at this time, in fact he was controlled by others. The Guyang Sect that could be used by him behind the scenes was not even as strong as the second-rate sect of Yunzhou.
Apart from being attached to Lord Chunling, he had no power to fight against Qing Wang Jiang Lan at this time.
In addition to the fact that the strength of the Four Sects of Wushan became more and more difficult to suppress, Chen Xun was even more embracing King Qing’s thighs at this time, making it difficult for them to find any excuses to remove them directly, and it will only bring them more and more in the future. Big trouble.
Tian Heng smiled contemptuously, and said: "If Chen Xun this thief stays in the furnace and can't get out of it, I really have nothing to do with him, but as long as he dares to return to Yunzhou, I will avenge him in the future."
Jiang Bin and True Monarch Chimei looked at each other, and he could guess how Tian Heng was.
At this time, the people who entered the secret realm of the Heavenly Furnace were strictly controlled by King Qing's first line, but in Yunzhou, there were a lot of fish and dragons. It was inconvenient for them to openly take Chen Xun, but many people in Yunzhou were not affected by King Qing, or even not By the power of Jiang's imperial house.

Monks who are good at refining tools and formations are scarce characters in clan and sect that need to spend a lot of resources to cultivate.
Fortunately, everyone was eager to obtain the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation as soon as possible, and the twelve crafting masters with a cultivation level above the Tianyuan realm soon gathered in the copper fort and became the first batch of deacon elders of the Tianluzong.
Chen Xun was not able to return to Qingwuling immediately, but he refused. The elder Keqing who served as the Heavenly Furnace Sect stayed in the county mansion to guide everyone in refining the Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation.
True Monarch Red Eyebrows and Jiang Bin quickly led the Spirit Heavenly Army to withdraw from the furnace, and then Qing Wang Jiang Lan, True Monarch Songhe, Su Junchen and many disciples of Mending Heaven Pavilion returned to Yunzhou one after another.
The tenth battalion of the Tenth Battalion of the Shenwei Army will be stationed at the Tianlu for a long time. It is led by the deputy commander, the Faxiang Zhenren Weiyuan, who came from the Wei clan.
Jiang Nanke stopped continuing to transfer slave laborers from Yunzhou, and assigned the existing 300,000 slave laborers to various strongholds, so that all children and monks would participate in the construction of the outpost stronghold. Alleviating the loss of slave labor is sympathetic.
Chen Xun was dissatisfied with King Qing, Su Junchen and other people’s deep-seated city mansion, and the situation was pressing, so he chose to cooperate with him. Seeing that Jiang Nanke’s style was very different from his father, he couldn’t help thinking that perhaps King Qing succeeded to the throne. A bad thing.
With Chen Xun’s participation, the Tianluzong refined the second Eight Desolate Profound Tower Formation in just six months.
At this time, after the eruption of Tianhuo Mountain lasted for two and a half years, it finally stopped, and the space rift in the sky above the Tianhuo Mountain range also closed.
The Tianyan Gangsha congested between the heavens and the earth was reduced by nearly half compared to the past, but the heavens and the earth were still extremely hot, far beyond what a human body could bear.
The cooling magma formed an Optimus pillar as high as more than 20,000 feet deep in the Tianhuo Mountain Range. The nearby mountains left terrible cracks, and red lotus flames spurted out from time to time, and the sky was filled with tens of thousands of miles. The volcanic ash completely covered the entire sky.
If it weren't for the many rift valleys of the Skyfire Mountain Range, hot lava gushing out from time to time, the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm would be plunged into eternal darkness.
There are also welcome changes.
As Tianyan Gangsha's suppression of the earth veins is reduced, the spiritual energy generated by the Heavenly Furnace Earth, although still extremely thin, is much richer than before.
The spiritual energy near the Tianhuo Mountain Range, through the convergence of sixteen main spiritual veins, has maintained the operation of the defensive-level magic circle at this time.
Of course, everyone is consuming such a huge amount of resources, and they won't be so shallow as to appreciate this aura.
Any spiritual vein or acupuncture point in Yunzhou, the aura of heaven and earth gathered is purer and richer than that of the Tianhuo Mountain Range.
What everyone fancy was the great vitality of the Heavenly Furnace Secret Realm that had undergone such a big change before the heaven and the earth reached a new balance.
Of course, the Hongmeng vitality conceived at this time is also extremely small, and it is difficult for strong people with a cultivation level above the Yuandan level to benefit from it, but for a large number of low-level disciples with excellent qualifications, the benefits are too great. .
The fundamental purpose of everyone's painstaking efforts is to transfer the clans and sect disciples into the heavenly furnace to station and practice in turn.
In the past two years, Su Wuyang and others' hidden diseases of the soul and body caused by the strong shaping of the soul have been slowed down, which is a clear proof of the existence of the vitality of Hongmeng.
The hidden diseases of the soul and flesh caused by the strong shaping of the soul can only be cured by the extremely limited treasure pill, such as the heavenly treasure pill, Hongmeng vitality, and fairy vitality.
Chen Xun has measured that in the past two and a half years, the total amount of the Hongmeng vitality conceived by the three main spiritual veins of Qingwu Mountain is comparable to a dragon marrow golden liquid pill.
One dragon marrow golden liquid pill was given to two or three thousand Yuan pill real persons to take it, and naturally it would not have any effect, but it would be completely different if it was replaced with two or three thousand true sun stage disciples in the early stage of the fetal stage.
Heavenly furnace world, it may take hundreds or even hundreds of years to reach a new balance. In this process, Qingwuling will continue to have a small amount of Hongmeng vitality, the total amount may be equivalent to Hundreds, worth hundreds of dragon marrow golden liquid pills.
