Chapter 571: Raging Waves
Above the foggy sky of the Demon-Suppressing City, Chen Jiu silently floated there, thinking for a long time.
Now the magic pills that strengthen the soul should be guaranteed, and he can also train a large number of trusted subordinates.
The question is, how to cultivate, which ones to cultivate first, which ones to cultivate later, to what extent, etc. These all need to be carefully considered.
The most important thing now is to resist the invasion of the extraterritorial demons, so the ones who control the Nine-Bend Array and the Ten Thousand Immortals Array are the ones to be trained first. Moreover, the souls of those who control the Nine-Bend Array and the Ten Thousand Immortals Array must be stronger than the ancestors of the extraterritorial demons. The stronger the better.
Of course, this magical pill that strengthens the soul cannot be given to people endlessly. When it reaches a certain level, the increase in the distance of spiritual awareness may become ridiculously small, and it cannot be given anymore.
There is no limit to how many bottles of this divine pill that strengthens the soul can be consumed. He can also try it out with a few key figures who control the Nine-Bend Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, such as Shuiling Tianzun, Bailing Tianzun and Yangmei Tianzun. These three can be tried first.
If the spirits of these three grow to their full potential, plus his, there will be four of them, two of whom will control the Nine-Bend Formation, and two of whom will control the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. There should be no problem in withstanding the next round of invasion from the extraterritorial demons.
As for the remaining magic pills, it depends on how to train your trusted subordinates to be most cost-effective.
He frowned and pondered for a while, then flashed to Beihai City, took Shuiling Tianzun, Yangmei Tianzun and Jingrou Zhenjun into the Kingdom of God, and took them directly back to Yumo City. He came to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion and arranged for them to sit down, and also summoned Bailing Tianzun.
These four people were somewhat puzzling, because Chen Jiu either gathered a large group of people to discuss matters, or talked to people individually. It seemed that he had never gathered four people this time.
Shui Ling Tian Zun couldn't help but ask, "Ajiu, why did you ask us to come here?"
Chen Jiu said solemnly: "We should think carefully about how to resist the invasion of extraterritorial demons. They will always come, and we must prepare early. Now, we can only rely on the Nine-Bend Array and the Ten Thousand Immortals Array to resist the invasion of extraterritorial demons.
Moreover, the Nine-Curve Formation we set up must be beyond the range of their spiritual awareness, and the spiritual awareness we use to control the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation must also be able to scan farther than theirs.
Therefore, I am going to let you try to strengthen your soul with the divine pills that can strengthen your soul. How far can your divine sense be able to explore? "
Upon hearing this, Yang Mei Tianzun couldn't help but be surprised and said, "Master Jiu, do you want us to try to eat the divine pills that strengthen our spirits?"
Chen Jiu nodded slightly and said, "You can say that. You, Shui Ling and Bai Ling should try it first. Jing Rou should take 100 bottles first. We can talk about it after we have tested this limit."
Oh my god, he really took a lot of elixirs that could strengthen his spirit!
The effect of this divine pill for strengthening the soul is so terrifying that he has only taken a hundred bottles, and his spiritual sense can explore more than ten thousand miles. If he takes a lot of this divine pill for strengthening the soul, it is hard to imagine how far his spiritual sense can explore.
The key is that a strong soul is also of great benefit to cultivation. In the past few days, he feels that the speed of his understanding of the way of heaven is obviously faster.
Upon hearing this, Yang Mei Tian Zun couldn't help but asked in surprise, "Master Jiu, are we really going to try this?"
Of course.
Chen Jiu said solemnly, "We can only have a future if we can repel the invasion of the extraterritorial demons and even completely defeat the extraterritorial demons of the bloodthirsty demon domain. If we want to defeat the extraterritorial demons of the bloodthirsty demon domain, we can only rely on our Nine Bends Formation and the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. So, we must try this, and try it right away."
After that, he took out a thousand bottles of divine pills that could strengthen the soul, and handed them to Yangmei Tianzun, and said carefully: "These are nine hundred bottles for you and one hundred bottles for Jingrou. You should collect a thousand bottles first, and keep eating and refining them."
Yang Mei Tianzun took the divine pill and looked at the furnishings in the hall. He couldn't help but ask, "Are we going to refine these divine pills here?"
Of course not here, this is the place for meetings.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Master Yang, you may not have noticed that the City Lord's Mansion of the Demon-Controlling City is built on a mountain. It is very large and has many courtyards for meditation. You can just find one."
Upon hearing this, Yangmei Tianzun immediately extended his spiritual sense to take a look, and then took Jingrou Zhenjun to a courtyard on the mountainside.
Chen Jiu brought Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun to the courtyard on the top of the mountain.
He directly took out three thousand bottles of divine pills that could strengthen the spirit and soul, and placed them in the quiet room in the courtyard, then said solemnly: "Shui Ling, Bai Ling, just keep eating, I will help you refine them. It's still the same old rule, after every hundred bottles, you should send out your spiritual sense to try.
Shui Ling, you should pay special attention to the increase in the distance of your spiritual consciousness. Tell me in detail every time. If the increase in the distance of your spiritual consciousness is too small, you can’t continue to eat it. It would be a waste if you continue to eat it.”
Shui Ling Tianzun nodded repeatedly, and then asked shyly: "How can you help the two of us refine it?"
There is no problem in refining for two people at the same time, but the problem is that the location of the Dantian is a bit too big.
Chen Jiu thought about it, and simply took out three cushions and arranged them in a triangle. Then he said to Shui Ling Tianzun and Bai Ling Tianzun: "You two sit cross-legged with your backs facing each other, so that it will be easier for me to help you refine it."
Well, this saves a lot of embarrassment.
Upon hearing this, Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun hurriedly sat down cross-legged with their backs to each other and picked up the magic pills to eat them one by one.
Chen Jiu sat cross-legged among them and stretched out his hands to help them refine.
This divine pill that strengthens the soul is truly terrifying. Shui Ling Tianzun has consumed more than six hundred bottles, and his spiritual sense can now probe more than thirty-two thousand miles. Logically speaking, the increase in the distance that his spiritual sense can probe should be sharply reduced.
However, after she consumed another hundred bottles, the distance her spiritual sense could detect increased by about fifteen hundred miles.
Chen Jiu originally thought that the increase in the distance of the divine consciousness of this divine pill that strengthened the soul would be the same as the increase in the divine kingdom by the Five Elements Divine Pill, that is, it would decay more and more severely as time went on, and when it reached more than 30,000 miles, the increase would drop sharply.
Who knew that he was wrong. The increase in the distance of the divine consciousness by the divine elixir that strengthened the soul seemed to be in the distance of a plane, while the increase in the distance of the divine kingdom by the Five Elements divine elixir was actually in the size of space. It was equivalent to one expanding the area of a circle, and the other expanding the volume of a sphere. The difficulty of the increase seemed to be completely different.
The spiritual sense of Shui Ling Tianzun can reach more than 30,000 miles. After taking 100 bottles of elixir to enhance the soul, it can increase it by about 1,500 miles. Moreover, the decay rate of this increase is not very strong. It decays by about 100 miles for every 100 bottles.
Even after the increase in the distance of spiritual consciousness decayed to less than a thousand miles, the decaying distance became less than a hundred miles!
After Shui Ling Tianzun consumed a total of 1,200 bottles of divine pills to strengthen her soul, her spiritual consciousness could actually extend over 40,000 miles. After she consumed a total of 2,100 bottles, her spiritual consciousness could actually extend over 45,000 miles.
However, at this time, the three thousand bottles of divine pills for strengthening the soul had been eaten by her and Bailing Tianzun.
At this time, Bailing Tianzun's spiritual sense could reach more than 42,000 miles.
It has to be said that this is good news for them, because at this rate of attenuation, there will be absolutely no problem for the distance of spiritual consciousness to increase to 50,000 miles, and it is not impossible to increase to 60,000 miles.
However, this would also require a large amount of divine pills that strengthen the soul, and the amount would be in the thousands.
Chen Jiu roughly estimated that they would need to consume at least three to four thousand bottles of divine pills to enhance their spiritual consciousness in order to increase the distance of their spiritual awareness to about 60,000 miles. It would not be two totals but one three to four thousand bottles, and two totals would be seven to eight thousand bottles.
This number is a bit too much. He definitely cannot let them continue trying this time because he only has 6,000 bottles left in total.
He thought about it carefully, then sighed and said, "Let's continue next time. I don't think we can reach our limit even if we try the remaining 6,000 bottles this time."
This time it was already very good. Both of them had taken 1,500 divine pills to enhance their spirits and souls. The increase in the distance of their spiritual awareness was also quite terrifying, especially for Bailing Tianzun, which directly increased from less than 10,000 miles to more than 42,000 miles.
The strength of the soul of the Extraterritorial Demon Ancestor is such that his spiritual sense can only explore more than 30,000 miles at most, and no more than 40,000 miles. If the enhancement of their souls by the Soul Blood Stone and the inner armor is taken into account, they are already stronger than the Extraterritorial Demon Ancestor, and the distance their spiritual sense can explore is also farther than that of the Extraterritorial Demon Ancestor.
In other words, with about 1,500 bottles of divine pills that enhance the soul and an inner armor that can amplify the soul by more than three times, it would be possible to cultivate an expert whose spiritual awareness could surpass that of the extraterritorial demon ancestor.
He has plenty of inner armor that can increase the power of the soul by more than three times, and he should be able to obtain 30,000 bottles of elixirs that can enhance the soul every month. In two months, he should be able to train at least 30 masters whose spiritual awareness distance exceeds that of the Extraterritorial Demon Ancestor.
They should have no problem withstanding the second wave of invasion from the extraterritorial demons.
Chen Jiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then expanded his spiritual sense to scan the courtyard where Yangmei Tianzun and Jingrou Zhenjun were. It was still too early for Yangmei Tianzun, and Jingrou Zhenjun had not even finished refining the one hundred bottles of divine pills that could strengthen the soul.
He thought about it, and took out another 500 bottles of divine pills for strengthening the soul and gave them to Yangmei Tianzun. Then he stood up and said, "Let's go and see how the Nine Bends Formation near the Chaos Cave is arranged."
After saying that, he took Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun into the kingdom of God, and flashed to the front of the huge chaotic cave.
At this moment, the demons from outside the domain have not arrived yet, so the Nine-Curve Formation of the Demon-Suppressing City can just maintain the fog cover. There is no need for Bailing Tianzun to control it all the time, and it is okay for her to leave for a while.
In front of the huge chaotic cave of dozens of miles, three people less than ten feet tall are like three specks of dust. The raging waves here are hundreds of miles high. The dark clouds and terrifying thunder and lightning are overwhelming and extremely terrifying.
Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun were both shocked when they saw this horrifying scene. They were not afraid of the evil waves and thunder and lightning, they just didn't expect that the edge of the chaotic energy of the divine world would be such a scene. This was their first time here.
Chen Jiu led them to investigate, and then asked solemnly: "How is it, is there any problem in setting up a nine-bend formation with a radius of fifty or sixty thousand miles here?"
Uh, this.
Shui Ling Tianzun looked at the raging waves and frowned slightly, saying, "If we use all True Gods, there will be no problem in setting up the Nine Bends Formation. The problem is, how can we fix the chariot in such high waves? And to set up the Nine Bends Formation with a radius of 50,000 to 60,000 miles, we will need at least 200,000 True Gods. Where can we find so many True Gods?"
The real god is not a big problem, but fixing the chariot is a big problem. Even if the golden cudgel is inserted as a Dinghai Shenzhen, it can at most make the area within a radius of ten thousand miles calm. How many Dinghai Shenzhens would it take to insert within a radius of fifty or sixty thousand miles?
This is not simply five or six times, because this is based on the area. A radius of 60,000 miles is nearly 200,000 square miles, which requires at least twenty golden cudgels.
There are now a number of weapon refiners in the Jiuling Mountain Divine Dynasty who are able to refine the most precious treasures, but there are only a few dozen of them in total, and among them, only those with a success rate of over 70% in refining the most precious treasure, the inner armor. He has not let anyone try to refine the most precious treasure, the golden hoop.
What's more, in order to refine the precious golden hoop stick, the required Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron is not ordinary. The last time he found Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron, only a few pieces were enough to refine the precious golden hoop stick, which is far from enough.
He could buy Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron from the Thief of Heaven, but with the extortionate prices at the Haotian Market, such a large piece of Nine Heavens Mysterious Iron would probably be horribly expensive.
What should I do?
Chen Jiu thought about it and decided to use his spiritual consciousness to tell the Honghuang Divine Cauldron to quickly refine the precious golden hoop stick. Then he brought Shuiling Tianzun and Bailing Tianzun to the Demon-Suppressing City for a thorough investigation.
He had to make preparations for both situations. If all else failed, he could only ask Shui Ling Tianzun and Bai Ling Tianzun to set up two Nine-Curve Formations with a radius of 50,000 to 60,000 miles side by side on the line of Yumo City. This would be able to cover most of the sea area from the Chaos Cave to the direction of Beijuluzhou.
At that time, as long as they don't activate the Nine-Curve Formation in advance, the invading extraterritorial demons will most likely flash into the range of the Nine-Curve Formation.
As for the true gods, it might be difficult to gather enough true gods to set up two Nine-Bend Formations of fifty or sixty thousand miles in a short time. It shouldn't be a big problem to gather enough true gods to set up one. However, many of them have never practiced the Nine-Bend Formation, so he has to quickly take them over to practice.
Chen Jiu took Shui Ling Tianzun and Bai Ling Tianzun for a tour around the Demon-Suppressing City, and then sent them to the Demon-Suppressing City, while he quickly rushed to the Divine Capital City.
The Capital City of Gods is extremely prosperous at this moment, because the war in the divine world has ended and everyone doesn't have to worry about anything when going out. There are countless gods who come to the Capital City of Gods to play, and some even bring their families with them. The entire Capital City of Gods is probably crowded with hundreds of millions of people.
If there weren't so many wood-based immortal palaces and kingdoms in the Divine Capital City, where inns and even separate courtyards could be built for people to rest, I'm afraid many people who come here to visit wouldn't be able to find a place to stay.
Chen Jiu flashed directly to the side of Prime Minister Chen Lang and smiled slightly, "How is it, Lord Chen, are you busy?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang quickly stood up and said, "God, since I have the help of the Great Priest, the Wood Priest, and the Demon Priest, this humble official has a much easier time than before. If God can gather all the Five Elements Priests, I am afraid I will have time to go around the Divine Capital."
This may have to wait until the invading demons from outside the domain are repelled.
Chen Jiu asked again: "Have all the true gods of the Divine Realm Legion been replaced? How are their trials going?"
Prime Minister Chen Lang said without hesitation: "The true gods of the Divine Realm Legion have all been replaced, but the situation of their trials is not very ideal. There are only about 150,000 true gods who can refine immortal tools and immortal pills. The others are still there to continue the trials. I think there is no hope for you, because many of them have been in trials for more than ten days."
These people go there for the generous rewards of being an alchemist or weapon refiner. Even if they can only refine elixirs or magic weapons, the rewards are much higher than the rewards for joining the army to fight in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation or the Nine Bends Formation.
In fact, this is quite unreasonable. The rewards for soldiers fighting outside are lower than those who sit at home and refine pills and weapons. This has a certain impact on morale. In the past, they did not have so many elixirs to pay high salaries to millions of soldiers. Now it is different. He can easily extort enough elixirs and magic pills from the Haotian Market.
At this moment, he has not used up all the means to extort immortal pills and magical pills, but it is already easy for him to earn hundreds of millions of bottles of immortal pills a month. In the future, he should have no problem using all the immortal pills and magical pills he extorted from Haotian Market to pay high salaries to the soldiers of the Divine Realm Legion. At least, the salaries should be higher than those of immortal-level alchemists and weapon refiners.
Chen Jiu thought for a moment, then said decisively: "For those who have been trying for more than three days but still can't refine immortal pills and immortal weapons, tell them not to try anymore and gather at the Temple Square to prepare to learn how to set up the Nine-Bend Formation. Tell them that I will increase their remuneration in the future and ensure that it is higher than that of immortal-level alchemists and weapon refiners."
Prime Minister Chen Lang nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, God."
Chen Jiu nodded slightly, then flashed to the newly built courtyard of Tianjun Peak in Jiuling Mountain and came to the side of Zhenjun Tianjue.
This is the residence of Tianjue Zhenjun and others. In order to facilitate their cultivation, they specially found an empty main peak in Jiuling Mountain and ordered people to build more than ten courtyards.
At this moment, True Lord Tianjue was sitting leisurely in the courtyard, sipping tea and reading a book.
When he saw Chen Jiu coming, he quickly stood up and greeted him, "Master Jiu, please take a seat. Come, try the tea produced in Xiniuhezhou. It really tastes better than the tea produced in Beijuluzhou."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Tianjue, what book are you reading?"
Tian Jue Zhenjun introduced it in detail: "This is a book of classics, history, and miscellaneous works in the mortal world. It is quite interesting to read."
Chen Jiu simply took out a True Lord-level book on the Insights of the Heavenly Dao of the Wood Element and said mysteriously, "Brother Tianjue, take a look at this book."
Upon hearing this, Zhenjun Tianjue took it curiously and opened it. His eyes almost popped out.
He couldn't help but read a few pages in a row, and then he said with a look of shock: "Master Jiu, where did this book come from? It can actually describe the understanding of the way of heaven in such detail. It's amazing, it's many times better than what we have."
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I bought this book. I bought a lot of it."
After saying that, he took out all the books in that box.
Tian Jue Zhenjun immediately flipped through the book as if it were a treasure, "Amazing, amazing, too amazing, these insights into the way of heaven can be written in such detail, too amazing!"
He was sighing as he flipped through the book, and he almost couldn't put it down.
Seeing this, Chen Jiu smiled again and said, "These books on the enlightenment of the Heavenly Dao include one immortal pill for the True Lord level, six immortal pills for the Heavenly Venerable level, and one bottle of immortal pills for the Ancestor level. What do you think?"
ah?
Tian Jue Zhenjun couldn't help but said in shock, "It's impossible. Such a good book is so cheap? Jiu Ye, where did you buy it? Let's buy the whole set. How many immortal pills are there for this!"
Uh, you misunderstood.
Chen Jiu said with a little embarrassment: "I'm not talking about the price I paid for the book. I'm talking about the price we paid after printing a large copy and selling it."
Oh, it turns out that I printed the selling price myself.
True Lord Tian Jue said without hesitation: "If these books are so cheap, I think everyone will rush to get them. Anyone who has enough immortal pills will buy the whole set."
Then that's no problem.
Chen Jiu said generously: "Then I'll let you print and sell these books. I was worried that once these books were sold, your Tiandao Hall would not be able to make any money from immortal pills. Since the sales are so good, there will be no problem. You don't have to work so hard to teach Tiandao in the future. Just sell books and make money from immortal pills."
There were many Tianzuns and Zhenjuns from Tongtian Sect who came to help him. Even though the war in the divine world was over, Patriarch Tongtian did not say a word. The general meaning was that they stayed and continued to help him. Naturally, he wanted them to earn more elixirs.
He was also afraid that once these books were sold, Tiandao Pavilion would have no business, so he simply handed over the business of printing and selling books to ten True Lords who had advanced to the level of Tianzun.
Unexpectedly, Tian Jue Zhenjun shook his head and said, "Master Jiu, if this book is sold, our Tian Dao Pavilion's business will probably be even more popular."
ah?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but wonder, "There are books on the understanding of the Heavenly Dao, and they are written so completely and in such detail, why do they still spend money on immortal pills to come to the Heavenly Dao Pavilion?"
Tian Jue Zhenjun explained in detail: "Master Jiu, we feel that these books are written in detail and can be understood because our understanding of the Heavenly Dao is already high. If the understanding of the Heavenly Dao of those earthly immortals and true gods is high, they don't need to buy books to read. With their understanding of the Heavenly Dao, they probably can't understand the understanding of the Five Elements Heavenly Dao of the Zhenjun level.
This is just like teaching classics in the mortal world. Those who passed the imperial examination and became scholars, juren, and jinshi are naturally very familiar with classics, history, and literature. Those who have just learned to read and write cannot understand classics, history, and literature at all. Our earthly immortals are like those who have just learned to read and write. They have never felt the way of heaven before, so how can they understand it?"
So that's how it is. This does make sense. People with their level of cultivation can naturally understand by reading these books. Those earthly immortals probably can't understand at all. Those true gods, if they have a new understanding of the way of heaven, will definitely have to listen to someone explain it before they can understand it.
It seems that Tiandaoguan’s business may be even more popular than before.
Chen Jiu nodded slightly after hearing this and said, "Okay, anyway, I'll leave the Heavenly Dao Enlightenment to you, whether it's selling books or teaching, it's up to you. By the way, you should arrange for more people to print these books, and each soldier in the God Realm Legion should first have a set of True Lord-level Five Elements Heavenly Dao Enlightenment, and don't take the elixir for this.
Also, please quickly arrange for someone to typeset and print this ancestor-level book on the Dark Heavenly Path. I will read it after I finish my work in the next few days."
