Chapter 533: Chapter 324 18 Flying Star_2
Once an ordinary person is infected and mutated, they attain the combat power of the Foundation Establishment level, and the more blood they consume, the more residual souls they accumulate inside, eventually breaking through the Core Formation realm.
If we can breed tens of thousands or even millions of them, we won’t lack resources for daily cultivation."
Jia Ru nodded in agreement,
"As the saying goes, nurture bandits to harness their strength. If we don’t have any adversaries, those above will soon become wary of our existence.
It’s human nature that when the birds are gone, the bow is put away.
This time, big brother, you killed two thousand people at once, and you’ve already terrified some people.
I overheard that they’ve planned to plant a bomb underneath your virtual cabin, just in case."
Damn it...
Chen Xuantian sighed,
"... Forget it, I’m too lazy to bother with them. What about you guys? Any news lately?"
Duan Tie said,
"Everything is going according to plan. We have used the Blood Puppet to reclaim the antenna, and other equipment is being gathered. Once we find a suitable place to establish a base, we’ll contact big brother."
Chen Xuantian pointed to the south of the mountain,
"Can it be set up over there?"
Jia Ru said, "Of course, whatever big brother instructs, we’ll do it."
Chen Xuantian nodded,
"I’ve sent out a Dao Butterfly, using the Mystic Sect’s art to transmit teachings and reach fated individuals. If you find a Dao Seed, do help keep an eye on it."
Duan Tie and Jia Ru were taken aback,
"Dao Butterfly?"
Chen Xuantian casually explained,
"Oh, it’s an Ancient Xuan Sect’s Primordial Spirit Technique used to screen mortals for their natural talent. Mortals inherently have a weak Primordial Spirit, and reading the scriptures is like reading a Heavenly Book, all characters appearing blank at a glance. People in this realm are even more incapable, and transmitting the True Scripture to them might directly lead to brain damage, burning their synapses.
I know it’s difficult to find a Dao Seed with outstanding talent and comprehension suddenly, so we’ll start by looking for clever individuals despite their poor aptitude.
This Dao Butterfly technique was originally used by the Mystic Sect’s patriarchs to enter dreams to check on disciples’ cultivation progress, transmitting teachings and giving pointers when needed. I refined the Divine Sect’s method, removed the dross, modified some basic techniques, and infused the Blood Qi Secret Refining technique, packaging it into the Dao Butterfly for playback.
Those without comprehension won’t remember anything upon waking. Those with comprehension will have their minds filled with the Scripture Talisman Secret Scroll, possibly turning into zealous madmen. Interestingly, there are already many such people in the southern region of the mountain.
Let them spread the scriptures and secret methods they encountered in their dream into the real world. The material refined through their minds can be understood by other mortals, at least without driving them insane. This way, the Divine Sect’s teachings can spread."
Jia Ru admired,
"Big brother, you are thoughtful and well-versed in the Mystic Sect’s secret arts! Truly a model for our generation, an example for the Divine Sect! Younger brother will fully cooperate and spread the teachings in the southern region of the mountain, and establish our Divine Sect!"
Duan Tie was shocked,
"Me too! Big brother is so impressive!"
Ugh, I really should give these two something to do. Letting them pour boiling water on the south side of the mountain is better than letting them mess around on the east side...
"Alright then. By the way, I heard Three Constellations is in trouble again?"
Jia Ru nodded,
"As expected by big brother, the Great General is indecisive and hesitant, always obeying the Empress Dowager in the past. With her death, he lost his sense of direction, and being instigated, became incompatible with the eunuchs, eventually dying at their hands, becoming the laughingstock of the world.
The eunuchs of Ziwei Constellation were equally brainless. Having falsified the decree to kill the Great General, they should have acted immediately, capture the Eight Captains with the factory guards and Criminal Department Government, and promptly order the execution of the staff, purging their faction.
But unexpectedly, they invited the Great General’s cousin, the General of Cavalry, into the palace to take control, dreaming that with a change of the head, they could reconcile with the Hou Clan and join hands with the foreign relatives to stabilize the court both internally and externally.
As a result, the Great General’s old subordinates united, immediately raised troops, accusing the General of Cavalry and eunuchs of conspiring to harm the Great General, deceiving with the falsified decree, and secretly plotting to bring the Stone Dragon’s rebel army into the city, aiming to overthrow the throne.
Thus, the rebel army surrounded the General of Cavalry’s carriage in the street, hacking him to pieces, exterminating his clan, leaving their corpses in the park, and hanging their heads on the palace gates.
In this way, not only did the Empress Dowager and the Great General die one after another, but the General of Cavalry was also killed on the way, leading to the extermination of the entire foreign relatives, and each of the Eight Captains led their troops to besiege Ziwei Constellation. It’s reported that the Ten Eunuchs fled after slaughtering their way out of the palace behind the Immortal Emperor."
Chen Xuantian and Duan Tie turned their heads to look at him,
"How are you so clear about this? Did you see it from the side or something..."
Jia Ru smiled wryly,
"I was in the midst of it. But even so, we could only foresee up to this point.
Now, the Immortal Emperor is on the run, rebel forces are massacring the Capital City, and the rebel army is wreaking havoc in Henan, with killings everywhere.
The Heavenly Mechanism has become utterly chaotic, and experts from the Three Great Sects are entering the fray; from now on, it’s about surviving with genuine skills.
Ultimately, this Immortal Palace, this world, is likely to face yet another overthrow."
Chen Xuantian also felt speechless,
"Is the Immortal Palace so stupid? Do the rebel army know?"
Duan Tie hesitated,
"With Duke Huangfu seated at the front lines and Hulao Pass’s impregnable defenses, countless restrictions, and adequate military equipment.
Moreover, the rebel army has just crossed the Gen River and reportedly lost a lot of logistics due to demon beasts’ destruction, likely lacking the strength for a strong assault soon."
Jia Ru shook his head,
"It’s hard to say. The Heavenly King is also a bold individual, rarely does one stake everything like this, draining a nation’s strength, fiercely crossing with a bold aggression, swallowing miles in a breath, truly an overlord of unparalleled dominance.
Now the Immortal Army has suffered successive defeats, morale is low, and with all family and household in the capital, how can they have the strength to fight again?
Although Lord Ming is a talented general, rising from humble beginnings, upright and loyal, his renown and prestige are established in the Western Regions outside the pass.
