The intermittent wars lasted for three years. Although the Temple of Heaven was still on the defensive, it finally did not lose a large amount of territory.
In the past three years, Zhou Yang has absorbed a massive amount of essence, which is equivalent to the energy of thirty gods of the same level. Coupled with a large number of ninth-grade mid-level and high-level elixirs, he already has the opportunity to break through the late-stage solidification realm.
Of course, the ninth-grade high-level elixirs were too rare, and it was impossible for the Heavenly Temple to give him many. He could only ask for materials in various ways, and asked Crazy Chu to use a large number of ninth-grade divine stones to exchange resources everywhere, and then he used Dao Fire himself. Carry out refining.
In the first year, Zhou Yang did not succeed even once. It was not until the second year that he successfully refined a ninth-grade high-level elixir.
A lot of experience was accumulated and the success rate has been increasing ever since.
The number of ninth-grade high-level elixirs he took was enough to exceed the sum of ten deputy palace masters. It was difficult not to improve his cultivation level.
Not only that, after three years of continuous deduction and speculation, his Celestial Clan's God-level skills finally broke through the shackles that had not been loosened for a long time, and reached the peak level of the late Gods in one fell swoop.
In the past three years, the two brothers, Leng Zhu and Ying Hui, all went to the Rift Valley battlefield to lead troops in combat.
Because Taiwei had young dragon Lan Si in charge, Yin Hong was also transferred here.
"Tens of millions of sacred stone materials have been lost. Not only has our army failed to recover the lost territory, but the territory has become smaller and smaller. The minerals obtained at this time are far from enough for war consumption. It is better to withdraw our troops completely!"
"We persist in this war for the sake of the face of our Heavenly Temple. How can it be measured by divine stones and materials?"
"The treasure trove is almost empty, so why do you need more dignity?"
"What you said is wrong..."
In the meeting hall of the main hall of the Heavenly Temple, a group of deputy hall masters were quarreling with red faces.
"In this war, I think the one who stands to gain the most is our Deputy Palace Master Zhou!" Ruan Chang, the fifth deputy palace master, said in a strange tone.
"Well, I said how could his cultivation be so rapid? It turns out he has practiced magic!"
"In every battle, he uses magic to absorb the essence of the gods' power, and his cultivation will be greatly improved. Therefore, the longer the war lasts, the more convenient he will be." The third deputy palace master Jia Dun echoed, with a look in his eyes. The jealousy was fleeting.
"We have withstood tremendous pressure for him, and the Celestial Temple has also consumed a huge amount of resources, but he is using the war to continuously improve himself. This is a typical example of harming the public and enriching himself!"
"Yes, in addition, he also asked for a large number of elixirs and materials, many of which were used on himself. Elder Feng of the Alchemy Palace is in the hall. If you don't believe me, you can ask him." There are also many other deputy palace masters. There was dissatisfaction and pulled Feng Yue out for confrontation.
"Subordinate, I have neglected my duty." Feng Yue bowed slightly and didn't say much, but the meaning was already obvious. What the deputy palace master said was correct.
The silver-haired palace master changed his usual indifference, now he frowned and said nothing.
"Everyone, if Deputy Palace Master Zhou is replaced, who would be willing to go?" Qiu Guang, the first deputy palace master, suddenly said.
There was silence in the audience.
Although everyone is dissatisfied with Zhou Yang, he has blocked the two coalition forces after all, and he is also the only formation master of the Tianshen Temple. He has blocked attacks again and again with the top-level Tianshen Formation. If it were other deputy hall masters, they would not be able to compare with Zhou Yang. do better.
"You can't let the palace master go there in person, right?" Qiu Guang said in a deep voice.
Everyone remained silent.
What a joke, if there is no palace master in the Temple of Heaven, if the masters of the two factions really want to go crazy and join forces to attack, who can stop them?
But besides the palace master, who else can do the job? Is the first deputy palace master Qiu Guang? I'm afraid he can't either.
"The Rift Valley Divine Valley army cannot be withdrawn, but such consumption is unbearable for our Heavenly Temple. Let's do this. The material supply to the army will be reduced by 30%, and it will be increased or decreased depending on the future war situation. That's it, let's disperse." The silver-haired palace master made the final decision .
After the discussion dispersed, the palace master and Qiu Guang had another secret conversation, the core content of which was to ask Zhou Yang to hand over Suo Mystic Technique and contribute it to the Temple of Heaven.
"The war in the Rift Valley is tense now. I think it's better to wait a little longer before talking." Qiu Guang was a little worried. If Zhou Yang reacted too much, the war in the Rift Valley God Realm would be extremely detrimental to the Temple of Heaven.
"Okay, after some time, you can reveal this meaning to him again. He is from the Celestial Temple, and the secret skills he possesses naturally belong to the Celestial Temple. Besides, without the Celestial Temple, he would not be where he is today." Silver Hair Hall The Lord said in a deep voice.
Seven days later, news came from the Rift Valley Divine Realm that the Celestial Temple lost another mine, and the army retreated twelve million miles.
One month later, the Temple of Heaven lost two more mines, and the army retreated 200 million miles.
The Rift Valley battlefield was turbulent, and the atmosphere in Nanping Divine Territory was also tense.
The coalition forces frequently won victories. The two factions, Qitianjiao and Potianguan, feared that the Temple of Heaven would leap over the wall and desperately attacked their mountain gate. During this period, the defensive formation was not closed at all.
Not only that, the two factions reduced their strength and deployed dense defenses around the mountain gate, for fear that the Temple of Heaven would go crazy.
In fact, these two groups are overthinking.
In the Rift Valley Divine Realm, the Heavenly Temple used one faction to block the two factions of coalition forces. The troops were already stretched thin, so how could they use the remaining strength to attack the mountain gates of the two factions.
The battlefield situation in the Rift Valley was extremely unfavorable. The silver-haired palace master couldn't sit still and had to allocate all the war materials and gritted his teeth again to send reinforcements.
However, Qitianjiao and Potianguan were advancing with great success, and the coalition forces kept advancing, with the potential to drive Tianshen Temple out of the Rift Valley.
"Go to the Rift Valley Divine Realm in person." The silver-haired palace master ordered in a deep voice.
"Okay, my subordinates will lead troops to reinforce. I will stop the two factions of coalition forces even if I die." Qiu Guang's eyes showed a fierce light, and his whole body was filled with murderous aura.
As soon as he was teleported to the Rift Valley God Realm, Qiu Guang felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
"What are you talking about? Deputy Palace Master Zhou went to the coalition camp alone. It's just nonsense!" After hearing Ban Gui's report, Qiu Guang became anxious.
If Zhou Yang made a mistake, the army would lose a formation master. It would be completely impossible to stop the two coalition forces.
"He refused to let anyone follow him and insisted on going. He..." Ban Gui's eyes suddenly lit up.
"What do you mean?" Qiu Guang was confused.
"He may be on the verge of a breakthrough."
"How is that possible! How long has it been since he broke through to the late stage of the gods? It's only five or six years at best!" Qiu Guang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
No matter how much powerful essence he absorbs, without long-term accumulation, he cannot have a deeper understanding. If he does not understand enough, how can he make a breakthrough?
Qiu Guang's cultivation was only a hair away from reaching the later stage of solidification, but just this hair had delayed him for nearly a hundred years.
"He refined a large number of ninth-grade elixirs himself, and his subordinates also benefited a lot." Ban Gui was a little embarrassed.
"Click!"
At this moment, dark clouds filled the sky in the far distance, lightning flashed, and sky thunders as big as stars struck down immediately, as if they were going to destroy the Rift Valley Divine Realm.
