Chapter 197: Hidden Dragon List and Hidden Dragon List [4K]
After hearing this, Ye Linyuan said no more.
In the following time, he negotiated with Taoist Wuyun for a long time, and finally sent this person out of the Seven Islands of Star Lake secretly.
Not long after Taoist Wuyun left, the war between the two seas finally broke out.
The Tianxing Sea declared war on the Luoxia Sea. All the major families immediately followed the Tianxing Sword Sect in sending troops. Thousands of families and cultivators attacked the Luoxia Sea with all their strength.
It has to be admitted that the strength of the entire Tianxing Sea is obviously much stronger than that of the Luoxia Sea.
They traveled across 100,000 miles, and even though they were fighting away from home, they were still in an absolute advantage, defeating the Luoxia Sea area step by step.
This has a lot to do with the long-term policies of the two major Jindan immortal sects in the past few decades.
As a Jindan force, Luoxia Sect has only had one Jindan for many years, and even the fake Jindan masters are no more than three in the open.
On the other hand, although the Tianxing Sword Sect only has one more Jindan on the surface, because they follow the way of sword sacrifice, they have far more fake dan masters than the Luoxia Sect.
As far as Ye Linyuan knew, there were at least twelve fake pill masters in the Tianxing Sword Sect in public, and the number had remained above fifteen in secret for many years.
Such a huge gap in foundation leads to a huge difference in the degree of defense the two major forces have against the forces under their command.
The Tianxing Sword Sect will not have too many restrictions on the foundation-building forces under its command. As long as the taxes are paid on time, they will not interfere too much even if they break through to the fake pill realm.
This is a kind of self-confidence that comes from one's own strength, which is something that the Luoxia Sect cannot compare to at all.
The Luoxia Sect has stricter control and prevention over the cultivators and forces under its command who are in the late stage of foundation building and above. Once their cultivation reaches the perfection of foundation building, they will be under the close surveillance of the Luoxia Sect.
People like Han Tianchou and Liu Xuanheng basically have no chance of getting a breakthrough to the Jindan stage in Luoxia Sea.
Such different policies meant that the Luoxia Sea area lacked backbone forces at the foundation-building level, so it was at an absolute disadvantage from the very beginning of this war.
The foundation-building forces in the Tianxing Sea area destroyed the eight foundation-building forces in the Luoxia Sea area at an extremely fast speed in just a few months, and occupied the vast sea area of the Luoxia Sea area.
And then, the army continued to be unstoppable. In just less than two years, it conquered half of the territory of Luoxia Sea.
At this rate, they will be able to completely conquer the entire Luoxia Sea in one or two years at most. The Sanyuan Alliance finally couldn't help but join the battlefield.
Thousands of treasure ships came across the deep sea, and hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the vast sea and entered the battlefield.
These treasure ships are all first-level warships built with a large number of first-level spiritual objects, and they possess great combat power.
After a fierce battle, the Tianxing Sea army was caught off guard and suffered heavy casualties, which slowed down the overwhelming offensive.
In the rear, Ye Linyuan was always watching the fire from the other side of the river, calmly observing the situation on the entire battlefield.
The Ye family did not participate in this war, but also benefited greatly from it.
Because of this protracted war, the Tianxing Sea was able to make rapid progress and seize a large amount of materials, ores, spiritual plants and other resources.
Shipload after shipload of resources were shipped back from the war front, allowing the monks in the rear who were skilled in all kinds of arts to have their fill.
And during the war, spiritual weapons, spiritual talismans, puppets, formations, realm-breaking pills, cultivation pills, healing pills, recovery pills and other supplies were consumed in great quantities.
Even a local war would consume large quantities of elixirs and talismans, and it is unknown how many spiritual weapons and magical instruments would be destroyed.
The Ye family has had large-scale spiritual fields for many years, and has trained many elite talents such as alchemists, weapon refiners, formation masters, talisman masters, etc. who are proficient in all kinds of arts of cultivation.
During this war, the Tianxing Sword Sect did not have enough logistical personnel, so the Ye family naturally received a large number of orders due to their relationship with Minghuang Sword Master.
Even Ye Linyuan had to refine some mid-to-high-quality second-grade healing pills every once in a while.
Such pills are life-saving items for cultivators in the middle and late stages of foundation building. One pill is worth at least thousands of spirit stones. Every time Ye Linyuan opens the furnace, he can earn at least tens of thousands of spirit stones.
With these orders, the Ye family earned extremely lucrative profits and also improved the entire family's level of cultivation.
In just two years, the number of people in the Ye family who mastered the first-grade superior cultivation arts doubled, and among them there were even two very young geniuses.
The two people are Ye Hengyang and Ye Wan'er, both geniuses who are no more than 40 years old and are listed in the family's true succession sequence.
Most of the spirit stones earned by the Ye family were exchanged by Ye Linyuan for various spirit ores and first-grade top-quality spirit gathering beads.
In normal times, first-grade, top-quality Spirit Gathering Pearls are relatively rare on the market, but now that it is a sea war that could destroy families and annihilate clans, many foundation-building forces will choose to damage their spirit veins to extract the Spirit Gathering Pearls.
Although doing so would cause the quality of the spirit vein to drop, all major forces did so unanimously.
After all, Luoxia Sect is a hostile force, and they are not sure that they can definitely take down Luoxia Sect. Now that they have made enemies, they naturally have to make things happen.
The spiritual veins were left to the Luoxia Sea. Are they going to wait for them to recover their strength and come back to take revenge on me?
The Tianxing Sword Sect should not interfere too much in such matters. After all, all the major forces have risked their lives to fight for you, and you can't let them go back with nothing.
According to Ye Linyuan's estimation, even if the Luoxia Sea finally drives away the cultivators from the Tianxing Sea this time, the loss of various resources and spiritual veins will be devastating.
For at least the next three decades, the spiritual energy in the Luoxia Sea will be one level lower than that of the Tianxing Sword Sect, and the difficulty of cultivation will be greatly increased.
The strength of the Tianxing Sea will increase greatly, and as a result, the Luoxia Sea will have difficulty in taking revenge on the Tianxing Sea within three hundred years relying only on its own strength.
"It is better to fight a war on someone else's territory if possible."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and a sigh appeared in his eyes.
Although the defensive war has the advantage of terrain, the losses will ultimately be too great. After all, the monks will do anything for resources, especially when thousands of monks start a war.
Once those Qi-refining monks conquer a shallow sea archipelago, it is no exaggeration to say that they have razed the ground three feet deep.
It can be said that allowing low-level monks to participate in the war will essentially make the war more cruel.
However, the Tianxing Sword Sect must also make use of these forces, because even if they only summon the elites within the sect to attack the Luoxia Sect, the Luoxia Sect will also summon the cultivators in the Luoxia Sea to defend.
It is impossible to take down Luoxia Continent guarded by hundreds of thousands of Qi training monks relying solely on the power of Tianxing Sword Sect. In other words, even if it can be taken down, the price to pay will increase several times.
"War has been cruel since ancient times."
"I just don't know how long this war will last."
Ye Linyuan pondered for a moment, then quickly put all his thoughts aside.
He had seen many such wars in his previous life, so he would not be stupid enough to oppose it for the sake of the people of the world.
The road to immortal cultivation is cruel. War brings death, but it also brings opportunities for advancement. The cultivators in the three seas are not necessarily just afraid and terrified. For him, the most important thing is to take advantage of this opportunity to plunder a large number of minerals and spirit beads to prepare for the cultivation of the third-level spirit veins and the construction of the Star Tower in the future.
In the following period, the war has intensified.
The cultivators from the Tianxing Sea and the cultivators from the two other seas started a real fight, and the whole war became more brutal and bloody.
In order to encourage its forces to fight, the Tianxing Sword Sect did not hesitate to take out a large number of foundation-building pills to reward the major forces, including even a second-grade golden elixir and a first-level rare spiritual object.
As an example, the cultivator who obtained the second-grade golden elixir broke through the realm of fake elixir and became one of the top forces in the Tianxing Sea.
Luoxia Sect and Sanyuan Alliance also paid a huge price to reward the forces and independent cultivators under their command. With such heavy rewards, both sides had outstanding heroes emerging.
People who like to gossip ranked the geniuses who emerged during the war and made a list of hidden dragons and hidden dragons in the three realms.
There are only ten places on the Three Realms Potential Dragon List, but each of them is a genius of their generation, namely the Five Wonders of the Sky Stars, the Three Wonders of the Three Enclosures, and the Two Heroes of the Sunset Clouds.
These ten geniuses all came from small families or independent cultivators. Each of them was a genius of his generation and had mastered shortcut magic in the Qi training realm.
They gained a great deal of military merit in the war, obtained rare spiritual objects needed for promotion, and finally cultivated a superior foundation of Taoism.
Each of these ten people is no weaker than Su Shaoyu, Taoist Zi Yu and other geniuses. In the future, they will be able to cultivate to at least the state of great perfection in foundation building, and can be regarded as real golden elixir seeds.
There are also ten places on the Three Realms Hidden Dragon List, all of whom are foundation-building cultivators who have been famous for many years, namely the Four Heroes of the Sky Stars, the Four Heroes of the Three Enclosures, and the Two Dragons of the Sunset Clouds.
Among them, the Tianxing Sword Sect has two great heroes, Minghuang Sword Master and Hongxu Sword Girl, both of whom are top-notch foundation-building geniuses.
Taoist Wuyun was also included in the Hidden Dragon List. As the first person to establish a foundation among the independent cultivators in the Tianxing Sea, he used a formation to kill a cultivator who had reached the great perfection of foundation building in a great battle, and was ranked ninth on the Hidden Dragon List.
Most of the Three Enclosures and Four Heroes are direct descendants of the Golden Core, and basically have the combat power to kill those who have reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment head-on.
The Luoxia Twin Dragons are also true disciples of the Luoxia Sect, but their strength is obviously inferior to Minghuang Jianzi. Even when they joined forces, they still could not defeat Minghuang Jianzi.
It was because of this battle that Minghuang Jianzi secured his first place on the Hidden Dragon List.
It can also be seen from the Hidden Dragon List and the Hidden Dragon List that the Luoxia Sea has indeed lost its talents.
In this battle, the Luoxia Sea suffered heavy casualties, and many geniuses with great potential fell in the war. On the contrary, the Tianxing Sea won victory after victory, and thus gained a lot.
"Little ape, you should also go down the mountain and gain some experience."
On this day, seeing that the war was getting intense, Ye Linyuan still threw the King Kong Giant Ape into the war.
As a second-level mutant spirit beast, the King Kong Giant Ape's cultivation has now reached the eighth level of foundation building.
Although his bloodline has not yet transformed into that of a rare spiritual beast, his bloodline has become increasingly abundant due to taking large amounts of Blood Spirit Pills over the years.
With the blessing of powerful bloodline, the overall combat power of the King Kong Giant Ape has been greatly improved. Now it has a combat power close to the perfect foundation building, and its defense can even compete with the great perfection of the foundation building.
The reason why Ye Linyuan let the King Kong Giant Ape join the battle was to train its bloodline and potential.
Ye Linyuan has mastered the complete method of upgrading the golden-backed giant ape's bloodline, and understands that if the King Kong giant ape wants to be promoted to a fighting golden ape, resources alone are not enough.
As one of the most skilled true spirits, the Golden Ape has the fighting spirit to fight against heaven and earth in its blood.
Therefore, if the King Kong Ape wants to be promoted to the Golden Fighting Ape, it must have that amazing fighting spirit, preferably an invincible fighting spirit that is undefeated in a hundred battles.
Without this fighting spirit, even with the help of the second-level rare bloodline fruit and rare black gold, the King Kong Giant Ape might not be able to be promoted to the Fighting Golden Ape.
If one were to be promoted to become another kind of True Spirit Relic, such as awakening the bloodline of another type of True Spirit Relic, it would be impossible for him to be promoted to become the Immortal Golden Ape of the True Spirit of Heaven and Earth in the future.
"The ancient immortal golden ape is the best among the true spirits of heaven and earth, and is also one of the true spirits of heaven and earth who is best at fighting."
Ye Linyuan whispered in his heart, and couldn't help revealing a hint of emotion.
In the ancient times, the world of immortal cultivation was extremely prosperous. In that era, even the true spirits of heaven and earth were extremely numerous.
According to the information Ye Linyuan saw in his previous life, the powerful people calculated that there were at least hundreds of true spirits of heaven and earth in ancient times, and perhaps even thousands of them.
Among so many true spirits of heaven and earth, the Immortal Golden Ape can rank in the top fifty and is even hailed as one of the true spirits of heaven and earth who are best at fighting. This shows how powerful the bloodline of this lineage is.
You know, although they are all true spirits of heaven and earth, the potentials between them vary greatly.
Some weak true spirits of heaven and earth in ancient times could only be said to have reached the realm of primordial spirit. Under the shackles of their own bloodlines, even breaking through to the middle stage of primordial spirit was extremely difficult.
The powerful true spirits of heaven and earth can even reach the late stage of the primordial spirit when they reach adulthood.
The Immortal Golden Ape, a top-notch true spirit of heaven and earth, belongs to the latter. It is said that the best of this lineage can step into the realm of refining emptiness, and the best among them may even be able to step into the realm above refining emptiness.
However, the number of true spirits of heaven and earth is very small, and the top true spirits of heaven and earth are even more so.
Even in the ancient times when there were countless true spirits in heaven and earth, there were never more than ten Immortal Golden Apes in one era, and it was extremely difficult to advance to such a bloodline.
"I'm not sure I can train it into an immortal golden ape, but I'll just try my best."
Ye Linyuan thought this in his heart, and asked the King Kong Giant Ape to follow Taoist Wuyun to join the war, hoping to sharpen the King Kong Giant Ape's fighting will in the war.
After the King Kong Giant Ape went to the battlefield, the war began to intensify, and the entire Tianxing Sword Sect began to make efforts behind the scenes.
Fake Dan Jian slaves took action one after another and began to put pressure on the two major forces, causing the balance of the entire war to begin to tilt again.
It's really that the Tianxing Sword Sect is too powerful. Not only do they have four Golden Core Sword Masters, but there are also more than a dozen sword slave elders at the Fake Core level.
In comparison, there is only one Fake Pill Master left in Luoxia Sect, and there are only five Fake Pill Masters in Sanyuan Alliance. The foundation of both sides is not at the same level at all.
The Tianxing Sword Sect only sent out nine sword slave elders, but they completely suppressed the two major Jindan forces, causing the war to begin to accelerate.
If it weren't for the critical moment when the Black Dragon Demon Realm was worried about the consequences, and sent several fake elixir masters to secretly contain part of the Tianxing Sword Sect's strength, I'm afraid the two major golden elixir forces would have to retreat to the Luoxia Continent.
But even so, the balance of war was still tilting, and the battle line began to lean towards the Luoxia Continent.
Just two years later, they had almost taken over half of the Luoxia Islands, and the day when they would be able to surround the Luoxia Continent seemed not far away.
"almost."
On this day, Ye Linyuan sat upright in the Star Tower. After calculating again and again with divination, he slowly took a deep breath.
