Chapter 1649: A fleeting moment

Chapter 1649

"Brother Chu, according to my current analysis, the probability of the Shen Qin Empire and the Barbarian Kingdom invading within 30 years is as high as 50%. Do you think that with my ability, I can protect the Xia Kingdom?"

At this time, Emperor Xia looked at Chu Jing seriously, wanting to get an answer.

"If the Holy Son does not take action, the chance is still 30%."

Chu Jing answered seriously.

"What about the Holy Son's action?"

Emperor Xia's breathing became rapid.

“There’s no chance of holding on.”

Chu Jing's concise statement made Emperor Xia smile bitterly: "In this way, the country I have been waiting for so long will eventually be handed over to others!"

"I have heard that the armies of the Divine Qin Empire and the Barbarian Kingdom are extremely brutal. Once they capture a city, they will carry out a large-scale massacre. What should my people do in the future?"

Emperor Xia expressed his worry with a sad face.

Chu Jing frowned when he saw this.

When he was in power, he strictly prohibited the killing of civilians without reason because it was totally unnecessary.

But now, the new person in power seems to have changed the rules he set.

Do we have to massacre the whole city every time we arrive at a place?

"Even if the immortal cultivators are ruthless, if their hands are stained with blood for no reason, aren't they really afraid of affecting the cycle of cause and effect in the future?"

Chu Jing felt ashamed of this. Seeing that Emperor Xia was very sad and worried, after thinking about it, he said seriously: "Emperor Xia, in fact, your chances of keeping the country are still very high."

"Brother Chu, what do you mean?"

Emperor Xia was confused. Didn’t you just say that if the Holy Son takes action, I would have no chance at all?

Why did you change your mind again?

"Regarding the Holy Son's attack, there is actually a limit of three times..."

Chu Jing explained the rules and reasons for the formation of the Holy Son Battlefield.

Emperor Xia suddenly understood, and a hopeful gleam flashed in his eyes: "So there is such a rule! No wonder I haven't heard of any saint showing his magical powers so far!"

He quickly realized something and clasped his fists with gratitude and said, "Brother Chu, thank you for telling me such important information!"

Emperor Xia firmly believed that no one among the natives knew the rules that restricted the Holy Son's actions except him.

This is absolutely confidential information.

Chu Jing told him so generously, if this isn’t trust, what is it?

Thinking of this, Emperor Xia felt warm in his heart.

Chu Jingze said: "Emperor Xia, I am quite satisfied with everything in Xia Kingdom. Besides, you also let me travel around and satisfied my curiosity. I am very grateful for this and do not want Xia Kingdom to perish."

The implication is very straightforward. I said all this just to keep this shelter!

"Brother Chu, you don't have to be modest. I can feel your kindness..."

Emperor Xia spoke seriously and began to ponder: "Now that the Saint Son Cauldron has not yet appeared, the Saint Sons will most likely not take action. In other words, even if I defeat the armies of the two countries, I will most likely not suffer a catastrophic disaster..."

Many defensive strategies flashed through his mind.

With a wave of his hand, a light curtain appeared in the air.

The light curtain is a three-dimensional map of the entire Xia Kingdom and its surrounding countries.

He was planning somewhere on the map, "If nothing unexpected happens, the armies of the two countries will attack Xia from here. If I station troops near this mountain range for defense and set up battle lines and formations in advance, there is still a high chance that I can cut them off in the middle."

"In addition, I have deployed an ambush in the Feiyuan Mountains, which will most likely cut off the logistics of the two armies..."

Chu Jing nodded repeatedly when he saw this scene.

After all, this is a world of cultivating immortals.

Logistics and the like, unlike Blue Star's high-tech transportation, are rather primitive and clumsy.

If a team's logistics are really cut off.

Then the armies of the two countries will eventually face the fate of being surrounded and suppressed by the Xia army.

However, there are cultivators in this world.

The sea of ​​consciousness of a cultivator can store massive amounts of resources.

As long as the high-end cultivators of the two countries' armies are not destroyed, it will not be easy to win this battle.

"Emperor Xia, your plan is very good, but the key is whether you can kill the leaders of the two armies."

Chu Jing said bluntly.

"Well, as long as the Holy Son doesn't come out, this is not a problem."

Emperor Xia's words were full of confidence.

Chu Jing nodded slightly. He could feel the powerful strength within Emperor Xia's body.

Emperor Xia is most likely the ceiling combat power of the indigenous people of this world.

Even if so many guest officials take action, the chance of defeating him will not be very high.

He naturally has the confidence to say this.

"Brother Chu, Juan'er has been wanting to see you for a while, do you have time?"

At this time, Emperor Xia put away the map and asked seriously.

"of course can."

Chu Jing had no reason to refuse this small request.

"Thank you, Brother Chu."

Emperor Xia clasped his fists, chatted for a while, and then quickly left to arrange the war on the border.

Without saying much, a figure came outside the palace and called softly, "My benefactor, may I come in?"

"Please come in."

Chu Jing shouted, and the door was pushed open cautiously, and Xia Xiaojuan, who had not been seen for many days, walked in.

As soon as she saw Chu Jing, her face lit up and her eyes shone brightly as if alive: "Benefactor!"

"Well, you're okay."

Chu Jing greeted her with a faint smile while checking Xia Xiaojuan's cultivation status.

You wouldn't know until you check, and once you do, you'll be shocked.

Xia Xiaojuan actually broke through!

It has only been a short time since she recovered.

Is this the breakthrough?

"It seems that Xia Xiaojuan's talent is not inferior to Qiaoqiao's, or even better?"

Chu Jing was secretly surprised.

In fact, among the people he knew, Qiaoqiao’s talent had already been determined.

But Xia Xiaojuan is even worse than that.

It can be seen that she was most likely born with a different body shape.

"My benefactor, thanks to your help last time, I am now living the immortal life I always dreamed of..."

Xia Xiaojuan came closer and wanted to stare at Chu Jing, but she found that he was more handsome than she had imagined. She blushed with shyness and lowered her head.

"Is your practice going well?"

Chu Jing put his hands behind his back, like an elder.

"It went relatively smoothly. When I was cultivating and breaking through the realm before, I did not encounter the realm bottleneck that my father mentioned..."

Xia Xiaojuan shared her experiences in spiritual practice.

Chu Jing showed a strange look.

After reaching the immortal stage, especially the Xuanxian stage, there are bottlenecks in each realm.

But Xia Xiaojuan has no bottleneck?

"Her talent is so strong that she doesn't even have a realm bottleneck. No wonder she can break through so quickly."

Chu Jing felt somewhat envious.

He is also a genius that is unprecedented in history.

But these talents are obtained by signing in with plug-ins and are acquired.

He actually does not have the innate talents like Xia Xiaojuan and Qiaoqiao.

If he had been born with such talent, perhaps his achievements today would be even higher?

"Then have you learned any magic?"

Chu Jing asked.

Xia Xiaojuan shook her head and said, "My father said that I should first concentrate on improving my realm and strengthening my body, and he will teach me combat magic in the future."

"You are so talented that it won't affect you even if you try to break through the realm and practice immortal arts at the same time. Emperor Xia is still too conservative in his arrangements for you."

Chu Jing said calmly, pointing out a few spiritual lights: "There are some immortal arts cultivation methods here. When you are free, you can comprehend them a little and improve your strength."

"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"

Xia Xiaojuan was very excited.

She didn't know Chu Jing's specific strength.

But the fact that Chu Jing could save her was like faith to her.

It is so cool to receive magical gifts from believers!

Subsequently.

Chu Jing chatted with Xia Xiaojuan in a friendly manner, always acting like an elder.

At the end, Xia Xiaojuan asked eagerly: "My benefactor, can I come to see you again in the future?"

"Of course. But there will be a war in Xia Country soon, so you should improve your strength as much as possible."

"Good benefactor!"

After Xia Xiaojuan left the palace and returned to her residence, she thought about Chu Jing's last words.

"My benefactor said that there will be a war in Xia Kingdom? Is his implication that I should strive to become powerful, share the pressure with my father, and protect Xia Kingdom?"

Thinking of this, she tried even harder to sit cross-legged on the ground.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty years have passed.

"I've reached a bottleneck in my realm! It's a pity that I don't have Xia Xiaojuan's special physique, otherwise I could have broken through directly and entered the Nine-Layered Mysterious Immortal Realm, right?"

In the familiar palace, Chu Jing opened his eyes. The mysterious energy in his body was very full and harmonious, like a world of its own.

This is the sign of reaching the bottleneck of the Eightfold Profound Fairyland.

"If you want to break through this bottleneck and enter the ninth level, you may need decades of hard training!"

Chu Jing sighed and looked in a certain direction of Xia Country: "It is said that three years ago, the armies of the two countries had already reached the border of Xia Country, but I don't know how the war went?"

After all, he is not Emperor Xia's boss.

Nor is he the guardian of Xia State.

I don't know much about wars.

Although Emperor Xia is currently in the palace.

But I seldom go out.

There wasn't even a morning court session, probably because he was worried about the war.

"Whoosh!"

Consciousness sinks into the sea of ​​​​knowledge.

Chu Jing looked at the grass beside his sea of ​​consciousness.

A plant as thick as a bamboo popped up from the ground, with two slender branches.

“I didn’t expect that this Xia Zu Immortal Tree would actually show up.”

Chu Jing's eyes lit up.

This small plant is the result of the slow growth of the seed of the Xiazu Immortal Tree.

Change to the mortal world.

Even the most difficult plants to grow.

A few decades is enough for it to grow into a large tree.

But the Xiazu Immortal Tree has just emerged.

Continue in this way.

It wants to grow to the size of the fairy tree in Xia Kingdom.

It may take three to five thousand years.

"Logically speaking, I practice cultivation every day, and the immortal consciousness and profound energy in my sea of ​​consciousness are nourishing this tree, so it basically has no shortage of nutrients. But its growth momentum is still so slow. It can be seen that according to the law of observable growth, it is very difficult for it to grow to the level of an immortal tree..."

"But isn't it a bit too much to ask me to wait for thousands of years step by step?"

Generally speaking, true immortals have a lifespan of more than a thousand years.

Xuanxian has a lifespan ranging from three thousand to five thousand years.

Chu Jing came all the way here, in addition to the life-reducing fairy tree he had used earlier.

The speed of cultivation is outrageous.

It has not yet reached the age of a thousand.

Therefore, his life was quite long.

There is also plenty of time to wait for the Xiazu Immortal Tree to take shape.

But by the time he really grows up, Chu Jing will actually be quite old.

He didn't want to spend so much money to grow such a tree.

"If there is a treasure place like the Dragon Pond to nourish it, the growth rate of the Xia Zu Immortal Tree should be faster, right?"

"It's a pity that such a precious place is hard to come by."

Chu Jing sighed and his thoughts moved slightly.

Next to the sapling of the Xiazuxian tree, two one-meter-high golden fruits appeared, shaped like gourds, shining with spiritual light and very strange.
