Chapter 382
382 The great river Defense line
Lu mingheng’s next task was to pay close attention to the situation of the demonic uprising in Wei country and send the corresponding information back to the clan at any time. At the same time, Lu Qing would probably pay more attention to Lu mingheng in the future. From time to time, he would activate the training mode and come over to take a look.
However, a large-scale demonic uprising had broken out in the Wei Kingdom, so this matter should be inevitable.
Chen Man had already advanced to the Dharma stage. Lu Qing did not believe that the Wei imperial court would be able to take precautions against this matter if Chen Man went all out to stir up trouble when the Wei Kingdom was empty.
Especially since Chen man’s ability was too special.
There was a technique like cloning in the virtual spirit manual. Chen man’s incarnations were created by using illusionary spirit techniques to annihilate living beings. He then used illusionary spirit energy to simulate the state of the living beings before they died, and with the help of his own intelligence, he formed incarnations.
Of course, this method had its limits.
Now that Lu Qing had completely mastered the void Spirit manual, Chen Man, who was extremely mysterious and had strange abilities in the eyes of the world, no longer had any secrets to hide from Lu Qing. He was now very clear about what methods and trump cards the other party had.
Chen Man should be able to have thirty-eight initial enlightenment clones. Eight golden core avatars and two nascent Soul Avatars.
He had just entered the Dharma stage, so he should not have been able to obtain a Dharma clone.
But even so, these dozens of clones were already a strong force. Even if his clones had poor resistance to attacks, at least in terms of offensive power, they could be considered very strong among those of the same level.
Two of Chen man’s clones had been killed in the Wei Kingdom. Qiming didn’t care, but the death of the nascent soul clone was a huge blow to Chen Man.
It was nothing to his main body, but to replenish a nascent soul avatar, he had to find a nascent soul cultivator to kill.
With his ability, killing a Yuanying stage cultivator was not a big problem, but finding a Yuanying stage cultivator was a very complicated thing. Nascent soul cultivators did not only represent their own strength and power, but their identity was also usually that of a member of a big force.
It was very troublesome.
However, even if one of Chen man’s nascent Soul Avatars was removed, he still had many avatars he could use. These avatars were wreaking havoc in the southern hinterlands of the Wei Kingdom. It was impossible for the demonic chaos to be quelled.
If only one province had fallen, the Wei Kingdom might have a chance to resolve the demonic uprising in its own country. If it spread to the two provinces, then the Wei Kingdom would be finished. The creatures in the two regions could probably feed no less than five to ten nascent souls, and on this basis, they could create a Dharma.
If the entire Wei Kingdom fell, the demonic chaos that originated from it would probably sweep across the entire world.
Of course, Lu Qing did not want such a simple situation to happen.
The first thing he did when he returned to the Yan Kingdom was to have a good talk with Lu chaoxi about this matter.
Lu chaoxi took his father’s words very seriously.
After realizing the importance of the matter, he immediately communicated with Yunxiao sect.
……
Lu Qing was rather at ease about how Lu chaoxi would discuss this matter with Yunxiao sect.
If there were no accidents, Yunxiao sect would probably agree to send troops more readily.
After all, they had originally wanted to send troops to the South to take revenge. And now, it was a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity.
There were only some specific details left to be discussed, so he would let them discuss it.
Lu Qing did not forget that he had gained something from his trip to the South. Other than strengthening his Scripture of supremacy and the primordial sacred body, there was another very important application point.
Lu mingchao.
Of course, Lu mingchao was not born with void spiritual roots. However, after Lu Qing gave her the exchange option of ‘giving her mutated spiritual roots’, she was now a cultivator with void spiritual roots through and through.
They all had Void Spirit roots. If Chen Man could cultivate the void Spirit chart, Lu mingchao could do the same.
A divine-grade cultivation technique was much more powerful than the void Codex that mingchao had comprehended on his own.
The void Codex was only a wondrous-grade cultivation technique at best. In reality, this technique had already become an obstacle for Lu mingchao to continue improving her abilities and cultivation.
The limit of a wondrous-grade cultivation technique was the Golden core stage. It was almost impossible to break through to the nascent soul realm with only a wondrous-grade cultivation technique.
Even if he was in the Golden core stage, the cultivation efficiency of wondrous-grade cultivation techniques was not enough.
Now that he had a divine-grade cultivation technique, Lu Qing was looking forward to how Ming Dynasty would develop in the future.
Mingchao thought so too. After she received her father’s guidance and obtained this divine-grade cultivation method, she immediately understood the power of this cultivation method.
However, the truth doused Lu mingchao with a bucket of cold water.
After she had obtained this cultivation technique, her cultivation progress had been very slow.
Lu Qing quickly understood why this was the case. Mingchao’s main spirit root was indeed a Void Spirit root. However, she also had a secondary spirit root.
There were no benefits to this secondary spirit root. It would only be a burden when cultivating the void Spirit chart.
Although divine-grade cultivation techniques were good, the prerequisite for cultivation was naturally very high.
For example, the ones that Lu Qing had obtained previously required him to have a heaven spiritual root, a single ice spiritual root, or a single star spiritual root to cultivate.
However, Ming Chao’s double spiritual roots were still not enough.
Mingchao looked a little dejected.
Lu Qing, on the other hand, was quite open-minded and comforted his daughter.
At the same time, he muttered in his heart, ”
“This matter will probably fall on Chen Man, the ghost-faced God.”
……
On the other side, Lu chaoxi’s conversation with Yunxiao sect had come to a conclusion.
The two sides didn’t have much conflict and decided on the Yan Kingdom’s plan to send troops.
Of course, the reason for this matter was definitely not ‘invasion’ or ‘revenge’.
The Yan Kingdom sent a diplomatic note to the Wei Kingdom, clearly mentioning the devil rebellion in the Wei Kingdom. In the name of ‘the evil spirits are The Public Enemy of the World’s cultivation circle, and the great Yan can not stand by and do nothing’, the Yan Kingdom announced its Army.
Of course, the Wei Kingdom expressed strong objections. They knew that the demonic chaos in their own country could not be concealed. At this point, as long as there was a certain level of intelligence system in Wei State, they would be able to detect the occurrence of the devil’s uprising.
What made them even more terrified was that the Yan Kingdom had clearly pointed out that Chen Man had joined the devil.
Previously, they had used Chen man’s name to threaten the Yan Kingdom so that they would not dare to send troops. In the end, it seemed that Chen Man had indeed entered the Dharma stage. However, not only did he not help them, but he had also stabbed himself in the back.
Of course, the Yan Kingdom did not need to be afraid of this.
As for Chen man’s situation, the Wei Kingdom was also a little uncertain. They didn’t think that Chen Man, a newly advanced Dharma stage expert, would be possessed so easily. This saying of joining the devil was probably nonsense from the Yan Kingdom.
However, even though they thought so, there was one thing that they could not hide: The great Wei imperial court had not been able to contact Chen Man for a period of time.
But what could he do? On one hand, they were being stubborn in the diplomatic Conference hall. On the other hand, they were also trying their best to contact Chen Man in their own country, hoping to find out the situation. On the other hand, they were also urgently mobilizing forces from within the country to head to dizhou to suppress the demonic uprising.
From the Wei Kingdom’s perspective, although the demonic uprising was troublesome, they didn’t think that they couldn’t suppress it. As for the Yan Kingdom, how could they be so kind as to help them resolve the demonic uprising? This was clearly an excuse, just to make it look better!
However, no matter how vehemently the envoy of the Wei Kingdom spoke in the court of the Yan Kingdom, it was useless at this time.
Great Yan’s vanguards had completed the initial gathering at the frontline of Pingzhou.
20,000 Yunxiao sect cultivators and 20000 Imperial Guards formed the first Army and crossed the country’s border.
Of course, the Wei Kingdom would not let them go. At the border between Hezhou and Pingzhou, the Wei Kingdom also organized a corresponding force and launched a fierce battle with the cultivators of the Yan Kingdom.
But in this war, the Yan Kingdom was very smart.
It was not a problem for the Army to advance step by step. However, in the process of fighting, the cultivators of the Yan Kingdom were frantically spreading the news to the other side, telling them about the tragic state of the DI and Xu prefectures.
This little trick was considered an open scheme.
He didn’t expect that these things would cause the Wei country’s Army to collapse. However, this was ultimately a battle of the heart. Many of the Wei cultivators were still shaken.
After five days of stalemate with the Wei Army at the border, a new batch of reinforcements from the Yan Kingdom arrived.
There were not many people in this group, but they were mainly high-level cultivators. A few nascent soul realm cultivators from the Yunxiao sect led many golden core realm cultivators and launched a surprise attack on the Wei Kingdom’s Army.
Lu mingchao was one of them. Naturally, Lu Qing followed Lu mingchao in his physical form and watched the battle.
He knew that Yunxiao sect’s Grandmaster Wei Yun was secretly accompanying him. Otherwise, if the Wei Kingdom still had the unknown Dharma laksana on the battlefield, then wouldn’t the Yan Kingdom’s attack be equivalent to walking into a trap?
However, the surprise attack of the high-level cultivators organized by the Yan Kingdom had achieved much better results than expected.
The Wei Kingdom’s resistance was unexpectedly weak.
There were no particularly powerful cultivators in the Wei Kingdom’s frontline Army. As a result, the high-level cultivators of Great Yan had destroyed the command system of Wei’s Army in the front line, and caused the collapse of the Army.
A large number of cultivators gave up fighting and fled in all directions.
In this regard, the Yan cultivators did not pursue them.
They took over a few cities on the front line while advancing cautiously.
One and a half months later, the three northern counties of River Prefecture would all fall into the control of the Yan Kingdom.
At this time, the Army of the Yan Kingdom had finally finished gathering.
50,000 Yunxiao sect cultivators and 30000 Imperial Guards were the main force. After that, the garrison troops and cultivators recruited from the local forces formed a reserve cultivator group. On one hand, they were to escort the various materials needed by the frontline. On the other hand, they were also the reserve forces to support. Among them, the 10000 people from the Feiyun state were there. In terms of combat strength, these cultivators of Feiyun state were not inferior to Great Yan’s Imperial Army.
A main Army of 80000 with four nascent soul cultivators and Grandmaster Weiyun was almost the strongest military force that the country of Yan could gather. To put it bluntly, if this Army was destroyed, Yan Kingdom would suffer a serious blow and might even face the disaster of the collapse of the country.
But no matter what, for the time being, this Army, which gathered the essence of the main force of Yan Kingdom, was invincible in the entire North of the great river.
A large number of war flying ships, accompanied by many cultivators on flying swords, advanced toward the river valiantly and spiritedly.
Then, he hit his head full of bumps.
……
Another day of attack came to no avail.
Lu mingchao, who had retired from the front lines, met her elder brother, Lu chaoxi.
“How was it today?” Chaoxi asked.
“Same as before.” Mingchao didn’t look too good.
Ever since she had failed to cultivate the void Spirit chart, she had been in a bad mood.
What’s more, at the defense line of the great river Kingdom, the Yan Army had been blocked for more than half a month.
Lu chaoxi shook his head helplessly and said, ” no wonder the Wei Kingdom’s frontline Army was so easily defeated. It turns out that the elites have long retreated to the defense line at the great river.
“Yup,” Mingchao agreed with this point. the unknown Dharma expert of Wei must have retreated back to the country to deal with the demonic chaos. The Wei country must know that they can’t defend the North of the great river, so they won’t waste their high-level cultivators in a place without danger.”
but even so, the defense line of the great river is still weak. the brother and sister were speechless.
Before this, after the war between Qi and Wei, the Yan’s first strategy was to take the North of the great river for themselves. The root of it all was to use the great river’s natural barrier to gain some geographical advantage in the future war with the country while maintaining a strategic defensive posture.
From some of the records in the past, Lu chaoxi knew that the great river natural stronghold was very important. This could be seen from how Yunxiao sect was so persistent in obtaining this strategic guarantee.
However, no matter what, this was better than experiencing it for himself.
Now, they had basically figured out the situation here and the Wei Kingdom’s arrangement at the defense line on the big River. Not to mention a cultivator Army, in terms of quality, it was far inferior to the southern expedition Army of the Yan Kingdom. Even high-level cultivators only had three nascent soul cultivators. They were not existences that could be expected.
However, the water element formation that was set up by the river was invincible.
Five days ago, Grandmaster Wei Yun really couldn’t take it anymore and she personally took action.
But he still couldn’t do much about the river formation.
