Chapter 1696: Winning over the army and Gu Changyu's advancement to Mahayana

Gu Haochen suddenly realized.

Gu Qingchen was still waiting for Gu Haochen's response, but she didn't know what was wrong. Gu Haochen looked shocked after hearing this. She called Gu Haochen several times before he came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?

Do you think this is inappropriate?"

Gu Haochen shook his head and explained:

"No, no, I just understood something all of a sudden.

If I can really communicate with other refiners and array masters, maybe I can avoid many detours."

After he finished speaking, he bowed and said:

"I think what the deputy peak master said makes sense, and this is feasible."

Hearing what Gu Haochen said, Gu Qingchen felt much more at ease.

"In that case, let's do it!

How about starting from the sixth level?

Every fifty years, let the Gu family's cultivators who are proficient in all arts of cultivation gather together to talk and share, and all expenses will be provided by the Gu family."

Gu Qingchen quickly set a time.

Gu Haochen didn't know much about these things, so he nodded directly after hearing Gu Qingchen's arrangement.

"Everything is arranged by the deputy clan leader and the deputy peak master Ranguo."

Because many high-level cultivators of the Gu family, including those who are proficient in the hundred arts of cultivation, are now in seclusion in the Mitian Realm, the first exchange conference was not held as scheduled fifty years later; instead, it was officially started in the third year after the Mitian Realm was closed to the outside world again. Moreover, this gathering and exchange really brought a lot of inspiration to the Gu family cultivators who are proficient in all aspects of the hundred arts of cultivation, etc., which can be said to be very successful.

But these are all later.

And now, in the Land of Spiritual Destruction, what attracts the most attention of many cultivators is the army of the Donggu Dynasty.

After twenty years of changes and nearly forty years of various trainings, the military discipline of the Donggu Dynasty has been formally developed.

It is not easy to train this army, which is mostly organized by scattered cultivators, into a planned and unified army. In addition to various trainings and various military disciplines and laws, the most important thing is of course military expenditure.

The Gu family, or the Donggu Dynasty, has always been very happy to approve and distribute money.

So far, the Donggu Dynasty has a total of 500,000 cultivators in its official army, and 450,000 of these 500,000 cultivators are from independent cultivators. However, after the Donggu Dynasty recruited these independent cultivators into the army, they all received salaries.

The salary level is even better than that of ordinary families and sects.

This made many independent cultivators who were selected very excited.

What made them even more excited was that after being selected by the Donggu Dynasty to join the army, they could not only get salaries, but also have the opportunity to strive for advancement opportunities!

This was not good news heard from others, nor was it a big pie painted for them by Gu Changqing, the commander of the Donggu Dynasty army, but the truth that they had already seen with their own eyes!

In the first 20 to 30 years, only low-level cultivators such as Jindan and Yuanying were fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to advance; because Yuanying and Huashen opportunities were not very scarce in the Land of Spiritual Destruction, this matter did not attract the attention of many high-level cultivators.

But seven years ago, a cultivator named "Chen Ji" in the late stage of Lianxu was given the opportunity to merge by the Donggu Dynasty and successfully advanced to the fusion!

This news was like a drop of water in an oil pan, crackling and boiling in the Donggu Dynasty army.

You know, Chen Ji has no family or sect behind him. He is a pure casual cultivator. If there is anything special about his identity, perhaps only his identity as an ascended cultivator is special, not a native of the spirit world.

But even so, it cannot erase his identity as a casual cultivator.

And the fact that the royal family of the Donggu Dynasty is willing to give such a precious fusion opportunity to such a casual cultivator itself explains a lot of things.

It seems that the Donggu Dynasty really intends to train the army seriously.

This message made many people feel certain.

In this case, if Chen Ji has a chance, then the future of these people is also very promising!

At least in the future, in addition to auctions and exchanges and some remote and dangerous means, there is another channel to purchase advancement opportunities.

This channel has always been something that they, the casual cultivators, can only encounter but not seek.

With this beautiful yearning, the people in the army have rapidly increased their recognition and support for the Donggu Dynasty and the royal Gu family.

At the same time, the Xiuxian Academy established by the royal Gu family has also firmly tied some casual cultivators.

Not only those casual cultivators with families, as long as they are in the army of the Donggu Dynasty and have passed the review, they are eligible to apply for admission to the Xiuxian Academy established by the Donggu Dynasty.

Of course, their family members can also be admitted after approval.

The teaching elders in the Xiuxian Academy are all Gu family cultivators, who can teach and instruct the cultivators in all kinds of arts, and the new students have a chance to choose a practice method for free. Except for the free gift package and salary for new students, the treatment is almost the same as that of the family cultivators.

Under these measures, the cohesion and loyalty of the army have increased several times.

In addition to the army, the Gu family, as the royal family of the Donggu Dynasty, has also distributed 20% more opportunities for refining the void than before.

As for the opportunities for fusion, well, there are more cultivators in the Gu family who have advanced to fusion in recent years, and it is estimated that there will be no fewer cultivators who will advance to fusion in the next hundred years. There is not so much inventory to be left to the outside world; therefore, the number of opportunities for fusion flowing into the market can only remain unchanged.

In this way, after several years, good news finally came from the Gu family.

Gu Changyu successfully advanced to Mahayana.

Perhaps because he was a ghost cultivator, Gu Changyu's tribulation was indeed somewhat dangerous. Although it was also the 49th tribulation, the power of the last few tribulations was obviously stronger than Feihan's. Fortunately, he had prepared enough spiritual objects to survive the tribulation, so it was not a big deal.

However, the subsequent heart demon tribulation almost got Gu Changyu into trouble.

Because Gu Changyu's expression and true essence were really fluctuating too much at that time, Gu Changhuan took out the burning heart lamp that was placed in some corner and was ready to activate it at any time; but he didn't expect that at this moment, Gu Changyu's ghost baby suddenly spit out a black lotus with green light, which allowed Gu Changyu to wake up in time and drive away the heart demon and successfully advance to Mahayana.

Of course, Gu Changhuan didn't know all the details at the time, and he was a little confused when he found out later.

Even Gu Changyu himself couldn't explain what the black lotus emitting faint green light was.

After all, there was no such thing in his skills, and he had never practiced this secret technique.

After thinking about it, Gu Changyu felt that the light of the black lotus was somewhat similar to the color of the ghost fire that entered his Nascent Soul when he advanced to the fusion stage.

After being reminded by Gu Changyu, Gu Changhuan also felt that the colors were indeed very similar.
