The training bonus of the seventh ring has been quadrupled, but the mental pressure inside has also been greatly increased. Even if Cheng Ling cracked those nodes, Liu Qingyan, Jian Yinghao, and Wu Chenlong still couldn't support it.
According to their speculation, the seventh ring requires at least the cultivation level of the Earth Immortal Realm to support it. This time, it gave Jin Sheng and others a chance. Their cultivation progress in the previous stages was not ideal, so they spent most of their time busy outside and did not join in the cultivation.
Now that we have such a good opportunity, why would we let it go? Moreover, after several years of sweeps, few traces of the demon clan have been found in the Luochen Mountain Range. It is also time to improve their cultivation. At that moment, Jin Sheng, Su Yi, and Xie Feng all came to the valley and entered the seventh ring to practice.
Cheng Ling breathed a sigh of relief for the time being. After performing three consecutive formations, he was very mentally exhausted. This was a good time to take a rest and see the development of the sect. As the leader of the Luochen Sword Sect, Xuan Wuxiang is involved in worldly affairs and has not had much time to practice. He has only reached the three-star Xuanxian realm so far. It is just right to replace him and let him improve his cultivation.
For this reason, Cheng Ling specially gave him many Yin Yang pills and the blue and white three-leaf wine brewed by Hu Yue. With the help of these two treasures, Xuan Wuxiang's cultivation will surely improve by leaps and bounds.
Slowly returning to the main tent, he summoned Jinxuan, intending to learn about the recent situation of the sect.
Soon, Jinxuan came over. As the head of the Jinyi Envoy in charge of the intelligence system, Jinxuan did a very good job and responded to every situation with every detail. According to the overall report, the development of the sect is very good, the guardians and the five armies are all fully staffed, the combat power of the army has steadily increased, and the original idea is gradually being realized.
"How is the situation over there with the demon clan?" Cheng Ling nodded with satisfaction and continued to ask.
"In recent years, the conflict between the demon clan and the White Tiger Star Territory has been reduced a lot. Through the circulation of business resources, the demon clan can obtain the auxiliary means of those alchemy weapon arrays, and they no longer attack us. However, the demon clan that originally remained on the planet has There are still a lot of monsters, but now they have given up their plundering methods and switched to exchanging resources. After all, their resources are too abundant."
Jinxuan cast an admiring look at Cheng Ling and replied softly. With such a simple method, it was more powerful than a million-strong army, and the demon clan was easily repelled.
"Oh?" Cheng Ling frowned. He didn't believe that the demon clan would stop just now, and asked, "Are those demon clans squatting in the planet and not moving anymore?"
Jinxuan pursed her lips and smiled, and explained: "That's not the case, it's just that the aggression against the demon clan in the White Tiger Star Territory has been greatly reduced. In their words, why bother to snatch what can be exchanged. In addition, Sister Bai Protector He Xiefeng intentionally or unintentionally communicated with the demon leader of the transaction, implying that as long as they do not take the initiative to start a war, this kind of transaction can continue for a long time."
"Therefore, many demon planets have acquiesced. However, they are not like this for other places. According to the intelligence coming from the front, the demon clan is gathering people and seems to be preparing to attack the Xuanwu Star Territory and Suzaku Star Territory in large numbers."
Cheng Ling nodded silently, it would be best to lead the war elsewhere. As long as they are given enough room for development, the Luochen Sword Sect will one day become a top five-star sect.
After a short pause, he asked again: "How is the progress of the sword cultivator I asked you to search for?"
Looking for the remaining sword cultivators, Cheng Ling has been focusing on
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
In my heart, if the Luochen Sword Sect wants to develop better and the swordsmanship is to be revived in the star world, it cannot do without these local sword cultivating forces. Therefore, when the Jin Yi Envoy was established, he had asked to find ways to keep an eye on the traces of sword cultivators.
Jinxuan's face dimmed, and she said apologetically: "Sorry, Star Master, I have been searching for two years, but I have never found the whereabouts of the sword cultivator. I only heard many rumors, some saying that it was a life star living in a group of half-demon, and some It means in the central area of the demon clan."
"You also know that these two places are far away and cannot be reached in a short time. Jinyishi's intelligence network does not radiate that far, only to the dozens of nearby life stars."
Cheng Ling nodded and said, "I don't blame you. I also know that this is not an easy matter, but you can't give up. As long as you are within the radiation range of the intelligence network, you must try your best to find out."
"Yes, I understand." Jinxuan nodded obediently and left after seeing that he had nothing else to do.
Cheng Ling slowly left the main tent and looked far into the distance. In the distance, the disciples of the fifth army are practicing battle formations. The current camp in the Luochen Mountain Range is a bit small after all. The arrow towers in the space in front are scattered and extend outward according to the positions of the twenty-eight constellations. There are ravines and ravines on the ground everywhere. They are all deep trenches.
The defensive power is strong, but it is compressed into this extremely small space. This situation is very bad. The strategic depth is too shallow and the scope of activities is limited. In other words, as long as the demon clan dispatches more than 200,000 troops, and allocates 100,000 defensive forces to involve the arrow towers and trenches, the remaining 100,000 troops will attack from the side, and the camp will be unable to resist it.
After all, the number of those arrow towers is limited and they cannot provide full coverage. This problem must be solved as soon as possible. Now the demon army has not focused its attention on Kuimu Langxing. Once it takes the initiative to launch a war to expel the demon clan, the demon clan will react quickly.
With a solemn expression on his face, he hurried out to the camp. The disciples he saw on the road stopped practicing and bowed to him. With a quick glance, he happened to see Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie in the military formation, and he waved to them to come closer.
When the two came to him, Zhang Hu chuckled and said, "Master, why are you here!"
Cheng Ling glanced at them and saw that their cultivation had reached the Seven-Star Mysterious Immortal Realm. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, you two boys have made great progress during this period. What's wrong? You are responsible for training the army today. Where are the other three commanders? ?”
Song Yingjie replied: "Commander Jin, Feng Yanran, and Zhang Zhiyuan have all entered the formation to practice. As soon as we came out, we wanted to practice the army and get some fresh air at the same time!"
"Well, that's just right. There is something for you to do right now."
"But please give me the Star Lord's orders!"
"In this way, your two armies have a total of one hundred thousand elites. Set up a tracking formation thousands of miles from the camp here. I will ask the formation hall disciples to provide help. Rebuild the arrow tower five thousand miles from the outside and dig the trenches. The location must also be moved forward, and the area thousands of miles in front of the camp will be used as the activity venue for the sect’s army.”
Zhang Hu and Song Yingjie took a breath. After a while, Zhang Hu asked: "Master, how much resources and time are needed to arrange arrow towers and trenches on such a large scale."
Cheng Ling said angrily: "You have been in charge of the army for almost two years, tell me what are the shortcomings of the camp we are in?"
The two of them pondered and passed
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
After a moment, Zhang Hu said: "Although we have blocked hundreds of thousands of monsters before, we always feel that the camp is very crude. In addition, after the army expansion, the venue is even more crowded, making it difficult to use."
"It's not bad to see these. To put it simply, the strategic depth is not enough and the space is limited. Once the demon clan exceeds a certain number, no amount of arrow towers and trenches can stop it. Even corpses can be piled up to create a passage. .At that time, the camp will face the attack of the monster army, can it still withstand it at that time?"
Song Yingjie said in confusion: "But Star Master, since he knew that the camp was simple, why didn't he establish a sect and clan area, and with the mountain protection formation, the demon clan must not be able to invade so easily!"
"This is a method, but the mountain-protecting formation and the sect's territory alone are not enough. Don't talk about it in advance, this star master has his own plan. For now, you should hurry up and build the missing formation and arrow tower. I We will have the remaining three armies join in, so the setup should be completed soon.”
The two of them had no choice but to follow his ideas.
Cheng Ling's plan is to build the Luochen Mountain Range into a solid defensive front, no less than the Xuanwu Star Region's frontline base camp to face the demon clan. The first level of the Mysterious Formation was set up in Wanli place so that the demon clan could not easily enter it.
The area covered by the Lost Formation can reach approximately a thousand miles. Even if it can be easily overcome, it will be followed by countless green mazes.
The maze is inspired by the Alchemy King Valley. You can set it up by just searching for the maze pattern in your memory. In addition, the two Thunder Spirit Beads you obtained before serve as the formation eyes, covering the sky above the maze. Even if the demon clan breaks in, you can set it up. They divide.
Coming to the back is the even more powerful trump card, which is the Twenty-Eight Constellations Arrow Tower. With a steady supply of resources, the arrow tower was built even more grandly. The tower body was expanded from the original capacity of only ten monks to ten times, and the number of seats reached a hundred. Moreover, the strength of the arrow tower was not comparable to that of the past.
The remaining trenches no longer need to be set up in front of the camp, but only need to be in the space between the two arrow towers to slow down the march of the army and withstand the attack of the arrow towers to the maximum extent. Moreover, such a setup can leave thousands of miles of space for movement in front of the camp. Let alone 300,000 troops, even 500,000 troops will not appear crowded and can fully deploy the battle array.
These are only the outer defense systems of the Luochen Sword Sect. Even if the demon clan gets through these many defensive measures, they will still have to face the mountain-protecting formation at the camp. According to Cheng Ling's speculation, the probability of the ancient White Tiger Star Lord's Mansion being included in the Ten Directions Wheel Formation is as high as 70%. By then, that's where the newly built Luochen Sword Sect will be located.
The mountain guarding formation once again blocked the enemy's progress. It was impossible to get through easily without leaving tens of thousands of corpses behind. What greeted them next was the Ten Directions Wheel Formation. Such a combination of inside and outside pushed the entire sect's defense to the limit, making it invincible even against millions of monsters.
Of course, to completely establish such a strict defense system, the resources required are terrifying. Cheng Ling spared no effort to break the formation in more than three years, and the level of the formation was improved. His understanding of the way of heaven was also rising, and he had already faintly touched the barrier of the heavenly realm.
He doesn't know how long he can stay in the Star Realm. At least he must ensure that in the days after his ascension, with all the means in front of him, he can protect the Luochen Sword Sect from being hit hard by the demon clan and gain precious development time. and space.
