#424 - The Danger of the Great Zhou Dynasty's Destruction

Jun Wuxie's heart remained unsettled for a long time.

Previously, when he heard Ye Qingxue mention the World Tree, although he was shocked, he didn't truly feel it.

Now, experiencing it firsthand, he realized how heaven-defying it was.

He felt a burst of joy, wondering if he could just lie down and become a myth?

The World Tree seemed to sense his thoughts and couldn't help but say, "It's not right for you to have such thoughts. Besides, the origin of this world can only allow you to step into the level of Ancient Legend. If you want to become a myth, you need to go to a world with a higher civilization."

Jun Wuxie: … …

He felt a little embarrassed, it was just a casual fantasy, but it was seen through… …

However, the World Tree's words provided clear information.

In this world, it is impossible to become a myth!

To put it bluntly, the resources that exist in this world are of insufficient grade, making it difficult for a person's talent to grow and be promoted to the level of myth!

Legend is the highest ceiling.

He calmed his mind and said, "World Tree, can you now accurately locate the position of the source seed?"

"Jubao Pavilion's backyard, southwest direction, the third pavilion, the first floor room."

Upon hearing this, Jun Wuxie had the urge to go out and take a look immediately.

But looking at Yue Yao, who was sleeping soundly in his arms, he immediately gave up on this idea.

He should wait until tomorrow.

He didn't sleep that night. Although he seemed to be lying on the bed resting, he was actually absorbing and refining a top-grade spirit crystal stone into his blessed land.

In fact, this was originally a top-grade divine crystal stone, otherwise it would have been impossible to seal the Emperor Weapon.

However, over the long years, due to sealing the Emperor Weapon, the divinity was almost completely lost, and now it has fallen into a spirit crystal stone.

Originally, only the physical body of a Sovereign Emperor Realm powerhouse could withstand a top-grade spirit crystal stone.

Otherwise, the spiritual energy would tear all the meridians, and even break them.

But Jun Wuxie's physical body was too strong, even a powerhouse who had just entered the Holy Sect Realm could hardly match it.

Naturally, it was no problem for him to use top-grade spirit crystal stones to cultivate.

The top-grade spirit crystal stone on his body was cut out when he gambled on the Emperor Weapon Azure Sky Umbrella at the Gambling Stone Convention.

Although the weight was far from being comparable to a superb spirit crystal stone, it still weighed several hundred pounds.

The density of spirit crystal stones is generally slightly higher than that of stones. Under the same volume, it is slightly heavier than stone.

His superb spirit crystal stone must weigh around ten thousand pounds.

The next morning.

After a night of cultivation, Jun Wuxie, whose realm was already at the peak of the seventh transformation of the Star Sea Realm, faintly felt a sense of breaking through.

After all, he was already very close to the eighth transformation.

The spiritual energy grade of top-grade spirit crystal stones is extremely high, that is a cultivation resource corresponding to Sovereign Emperor Realm martial artists.

For someone like him in the Star Sea Realm to use this grade of spirit crystal stones, the progress of cultivation would naturally be very amazing.

Early in the morning, he found the chief steward Ling Shan.

He asked what the first floor room of the third pavilion in the southwest direction of the backyard was used for?

Ling Shan looked at him in surprise and said, "That is where our Jubao Pavilion stores rare treasures. All items that need to be auctioned are stored there. Young Master Jun, why are you suddenly paying attention to that place?"

"Is that so?" Jun Wuxie said pretentiously, "No wonder I felt an unusual spiritual energy fluctuation there."

"Young Master Jun can sense spiritual energy fluctuations?"

Ling Shan was even more surprised. There was a magic formation to isolate it, how could he feel spiritual energy fluctuations?

Could this Young Master Jun ignore the isolation of the magic formation?

"Chief Steward, when are you planning to auction the Blazing Sun Flower Seeds, has the specific date been set?"

Jun Wuxie changed the topic. Since the things inside were for auction, everything would be easy to handle. When the time comes, he would just bid for them at the auction.

"It's set, in seven days. We have cancelled the previously scheduled auction and will auction them together at that time. Yesterday, we have already passed the news of the Blazing Sun Flower Seeds to the major forces in the world. Presumably, they are preparing funds. This time, I'm afraid it will be auctioned at a higher price than the last time in the Ancient City of the Southern Region!"

Ling Shan's eyes were glowing when he talked about this, and saliva was splashing.

"Is the news released one or two seeds?"

"Naturally, it's two seeds. If they are auctioned separately, it will make people think that we still have stock. Auctioning two seeds in one auction will have a better effect. Especially the Holy Gate of the Central State, which has the most abundant financial resources, will definitely be planning to bid for both seeds. They will prepare a huge amount of funds."

"Hehe, how could other Dominator forces let them bid for both seeds? Therefore, when the Holy Gate bids for the first seed, other Dominator forces will definitely raise the price extremely high!"

"Alright, anyway, doing business is your forte, I don't understand this very well, I'll just sit and collect money. However, on the day of the auction, if I need to bid for something and my card doesn't have enough funds, will you give me an overdraft limit?"

"With the Blazing Sun Flower Seeds as a guarantee, there is naturally no problem for Young Master Jun to overdraft, but the maximum overdraft is 15 trillion! With such a limit, as long as Young Master Jun doesn't bid for his own Blazing Sun Flower Seeds, there is nothing he can't bid for."

… …

The following days.

Jun Wuxie accompanied Yue Yao, Ling Fei, and Qin Keqing to visit the city's attractions in the morning, drank tea and chatted with them in the small courtyard in the afternoon, and practiced with Yue Yao in his arms at night.

Such days were easy and comfortable, allowing him to relax a lot.

In these years, when had he had time to treat himself so well? He had basically been running around for cultivation, walking on the edge of life and death.

… …

At the same time.

Far away in the Great Zhou, tens of millions of miles away, they were facing a national disaster.

The Western Forest army, which had originally been blocked from attacking Ningyuan County, suddenly stopped its attack on this day.

The soldiers of the Great Zhou were wondering why the Western Forest would suddenly cease the war.

As a result, that afternoon, they saw huge spirit boats coming from the distant sky, dropping massive amounts of troops!

At the same time, urgent reports came from the four counties of Wushun County, Shangxuan County, Yushan County, and Qinghe County.

A large number of spirit boats also appeared there. The Western Forest had gathered tens of millions of troops in each county!

"Commander, what do we do now?"

In the commander's camp of the three armies, hundreds of generals gathered, all with extremely solemn expressions.

"Has the news been sent to the capital at the fastest speed?"

Ye Qiange sat upright in the commander's seat.

He was the original commander of the Xuanjia Army of the Great Zhou, and also the current commander of the three armies.

"It has already been sent back in the fastest way. I'm afraid we won't be able to wait for His Majesty's decree!"

"The Western Forest army is launching a five-line general offensive, according to the current intelligence, they have gathered hundreds of millions of troops!"

… …

Listening to the words of his subordinates, Ye Qiange slowly stood up and said firmly, "If you know that this is a hopeless war, are you still willing to rush to the enemy without fear of death?"

"Marshal, this is not a question and answer question, nor is it a multiple-choice question, there is no other answer! Even if we are crushed to pieces, we must never watch the enemy break through our mountains and rivers, and slaughter our wives, children and people!"

"Before the ancient times, Emperor Xuanyuan unified the world, and then the world was separated. Today's descendants of Xuanyuan, only our Great Zhou still has the power to fight. If even we admit defeat, our descendants of Xuanyuan will perish forever in this era!"

"Our descendants of Xuanyuan must not be exterminated!"

"As soldiers of the Great Zhou, it is our duty and glory to die for the defense of our territory!"

"Good! You are all good men of my Great Zhou!" Ye Qiange said with tears in his eyes, "Now, you immediately pass the order down, let the generals below lead the soldiers to distribute all the chariots and war horses to the people, and arrange for the people to evacuate quickly! And we must hold on until all the people have evacuated to the capital, even if there is only one person left, we must be nailed here like a nail!"

"Yes!"

Immediately, several generals retreated.

"Wei Yang, bring the entire military map!"

Soon, someone came in with a huge military map.

"Look, here, here... We must connect the entire front line, choose the most favorable terrain to defend to the death, and not break a single gap, otherwise the entire defense line will be cut off, and we will be surrounded. The Western Forest has ten times more troops than my Great Zhou, so we must not charge and kill head-on in the open ground. Make good use of the terrain to restrict their cavalry..."

Ye Qiange discussed with his subordinate generals and urgently formulated a defensive battle plan, ordering people to quickly convey this plan to the defending army commanders of the other four counties.

"The Western Forest army has a large number of people, and most of them come from the surrendered troops of other countries. If they want to launch an attack, they probably have to arrange it for a few days. Before that, we will divide half of the soldiers to step up the construction of defensive fortifications, and the remaining half will all participate in the manufacture of arrows, crossbow bolts, trebuchets and other war preparation materials!"

… …

In the evening, the intelligence from the front line was transmitted to the Imperial Palace of the capital.

Ji Liufeng looked at the news from the Xuanjia Army, and his whole person almost collapsed.

"Come on! Pass on my order, immediately mobilize all the horses and carriages to go to Wushun County, Shangxuan County, Yushan County, Qinghe County, and Ningyuan County to escort the people into the capital!"

"Also, quickly send the crossbow arrows and other materials stored in the city to the five counties!"

After issuing the order, he hurried to Jubao Pavilion under the **** of Long Yi.

Arriving in front of Jubao Pavilion, Ji Liufeng knelt down all of a sudden.

"Your Majesty!"

Long Yi's heart was greatly shaken, he reached out to help him, but was pushed away by Ji Liufeng.

"Ji Liufeng, the monarch of the Great Zhou, requests to see all the Pavilion Masters of Jubao Pavilion, and begs all the Pavilion Masters to save the people of my Great Zhou!"

The night was as heavy as water.

But the lights in Jubao Pavilion lit up.

Before long, several Pavilion Masters appeared one after another.

Looking at Ji Liufeng kneeling on the ground, they were very shocked.

The monarch of a country actually knelt down here.

“We can't help you. The Xilin army of hundreds of millions is pressing down on the border. We have already received the news that the Great Zhou Dynasty cannot be defended. Our Jubaozhai has no reason to help you resist Xilin, otherwise it will cause huge trouble. At that time, the war in the secular world may evolve into a war between cultivation sects...”

“Respected owners, I, Ji Liufeng, am not pleading with you to resist Xilin, but only imploring you to send all the manned vehicles that Jubaozhai can mobilize to Wushun County, Shangxuan County, Yushan County, Qinghe County, and Ningyuan County to rescue hundreds of millions of people of my Great Zhou Dynasty and bring them to the capital!”

“If it's just this request, we can help you for the sake of Young Master Jun. However, even if we do our best to help, the number of people is too large, and it will take at least six or seven days to complete the transfer of everyone.”

“Six or seven days... Has Your Majesty ever thought that the Xilin army will launch a general attack in at most three days? With the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, can it withstand them for two days? I'm afraid it will be a complete defeat within a day. With the speed of the Xilin army, I'm afraid we can only save a small part, and the rest...”

“Do your best and save as many as you can! I beg you, owners!”

Ji Liufeng bent down and prostrated himself, his forehead touching the ground, remaining motionless.

“Your Majesty, please rise quickly. You can't do this. If Young Master Jun finds out, I'm afraid he will blame us. We will help with this.”

The owner of Yaowangzong hurriedly helped Ji Liufeng up.

…

The next day, the news that the Xilin army of hundreds of millions of soldiers was pressing down on the border spread throughout the city.

For a time, it caused panic throughout the capital.

This prosperous city was in a state of anxiety.

Some wealthy merchants even began planning to flee to other countries.

…

On Zongwang Mountain, everyone also received the news, and their brows were furrowed.

“The Great Zhou Dynasty is probably really at the end of its lifespan. Once the Great Zhou Dynasty is destroyed, the situation of this Zongwang Mountain will also be extremely bad...”

Ling Yu sighed.

“No, we can't just sit idly by. I have to immediately pass the news to the Meitong Clan and Bingyun Tower. Nalan Jie, you pass this news back to your Moxianzong, and Ling Yu also passes the news back to the sect. Although we cannot directly participate in the war, if the high-level officials of several major dominator forces come out to mediate, perhaps things can still turn around!”

“Our Moxianzong is afraid...” Nalan Jie shook his head and said, “The sect leader entered the Burial Corpse Ancient Land and has not returned yet. I am afraid that my sect has no intention to take care of other things, and the sect elders have no right to make decisions...”

“Try it, and try your best to get your in-charge elders to come forward.”

Su Xun looked solemn and sighed deeply.

Things have evolved to such an extent, only do your best and leave the rest to fate.
