Chapter 1859: Chapter 608: Upper Second Rank
So much so that in the Daning Dynasty, from high-ranking dukes and ministers to common folk, all ignored the numerous hungry corpses scattered across the fields and the countless starving people outside Wang’an City.
This led to a large number of high-grade martial practitioners and heavy military commanders, uncontrolled by the Dream Technique, fleeing the Heluo Two States and joining under the Dalv banner.
Within Daning territory, almost all aristocratic families were enraged by the actions of the Zhe Dragon.
They preferred to endure the harsh policies of the Dalv Dynasty rather than be manipulated by the Zhe Dragon’s Dream Technique, becoming its puppet dolls.
Over time, rumors about the situation in Heluo Two States spread throughout the entire North and South regions of the Divine Continent, across all thirty-nine provinces.
The enhancement of Chu Xisheng’s Emperor’s Secret Technique power was related to this.
The fear of Daning and the Dream Technique also helped Chu Xisheng unite people’s hearts.
Moreover, happiness is often revealed through contrast.
Although the people’s life under the current Dalv rule isn’t great, it’s much better compared to the misery over in the Heluo Two States.
In Chu Xisheng’s eyes, the Daning Dynasty no longer posed a threat. His true opponent remained in the north.
Within the past two months, a continuous influx of giant spirit army from Central Earth moved southward, numbering a staggering 3,700,000, all elite troops dispatched from the Giant Spirit Four Great Divine Mountains.
Although the population of the Giant Spirit Clan is small, their individual combat power is very strong, especially the clans from Central Earth, whose combat abilities rival the Imperial Court Guards of the Night Wolf Tribe.
This army of 3,700,000 giant spirits is enough on the battlefield to match the 20 million army of the Human Clan.
In the north, led by the ’Yuan Yi Clan,’ the Giant Spirit Clans are also preparing their troops for battle.
They are continuously organizing various giant spirit tribes, training and drilling, even removing all restrictions on the Alien Slave Tribes to maximize military strength.
Day and night, they are manufacturing various weapons and building towns and fortifications along the border north of the Iron Wall Mountain Range, with deep trenches and high barriers, ready for any defensive action.
These giant spirits clearly sensed the northern expedition plans of the Dalv Dynasty and are fully responding.
Upon seeing these messages from the north, Chu Xisheng felt happy rather than frightened.
Although the war hasn’t erupted yet, the power gathered by both sides before the battle is enough to substantially enhance various war-related Heavenly Rules power.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but look up at the sky, gazing at the Luo Hou Star.
Before that battle affecting both Mortal God realms arrives, he could only do these things for Burial Sky, hoping to be of help.
However, among these intelligence reports, why is the Yuan Yi Clan marrying and intermarrying extensively with the High Mountain Tribes near the Iron Wall Mountain Range?
It’s strange. The Yuan Yi Clan indeed has a large mix of Human Clan bloodline within the Giant Spirit Clan lineage. Especially from the Jiuli Mountain Tribe originating from Li Tan, their height doesn’t differ much.
The Yuan Yi Clan’s height at most reaches two zhang, and the lowest is only one zhang two chi, so intermarriage between these two clans is frequent.
However, in previous years, such large-scale intermarriage activities never occurred.
Moreover, the Yuan Yi Clan is offering preferential treatment to the High Mountain Tribe in all aspects, almost viewing them as a clan member, with a status far superior to various alien slave tribes under their rule.
Chu Xisheng couldn’t help but furrow his brows, feeling somewhat annoyed.
He has high hopes for the roughly 20 million Jiuli Mountain Tribe near the Iron Wall Mountain Range.
The physical fitness of the Mountain Tribe is unmatched within the entire Human Clan. As long as they are equipped with excellent battle armor and weapons and provided with good secret medicine, members of the Mountain Tribe could generally elevate to around Fifth Grade, facing off against the Giant Spirits directly on the battlefield. Not only do they have comparable strength, but also superior reaction speed.
And now, his ideal source of soldiers seems to be drawn away by the Yuan Yi Clan, which certainly vexes him.
However, his current methods are limited. He can only have the Three Yards Commander Lu Chen, Ji Qianqian of the Heavenly Court, and Liu Ruoxi of the Great Internal Sky Listening Bureau send more people northward to forge bonds with the leaders and elders of those Mountain Tribes.
After all, they are his kin, and unless absolutely necessary, he does not wish for a future day to come where he must draw his sword against these kin on the battlefield.
Besides this matter, there is some good news from the north.
Half a month ago, Lu Luanti secretly headed north to Central Earth and successfully promoted to Second Grade three days ago, currently returning home.
However, these two should not encounter each other soon.
Lu Luanti is taking the sea route, returning to the Divine Continent via the Wuzhong Ocean, and will stop at the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace for a while afterward.
With Second Grade cultivation, Lu Luanti is now qualified to fully control the Cloud Sea Immortal Palace.
She doesn’t plan to retain the palace, intending to spend some time moving items within, along with the ’Divine Turtle Wanderer,’ entirely to Qinhuai City, thus freeing all thirty-six Cloud Sea Sword Puppets as her foundational combat power.
Adding the twenty-four she already has and the additional four crafted by the ’Divine Turtle Wanderer,’ the total number of Cloud Sea Sword Puppets will reach sixty-four, and their arranged Cloud Sea Sword Formation is extremely powerful. Coupled with Lu Luanti’s strong magic, there are few rivals below Near-God level.
On the second day after concluding his closed-door training, Chu Xisheng symbolically held a court assembly, accepted homage from the ministers, and then journeyed north to the Cold State alone.
Three days later, Chu Xisheng found his Second Grade secret medicine main materials in the northern Cold State.
It was a pure-blood ’Chaos’ beast that had unlocked the Three Apertures and was roaming nearby the Cold State.
