Hundreds of years of seclusion and practice have greatly increased Chen Qing's strength, but at the same time he is also a little uncomfortable.
Let Liu Kui and the others come over, firstly to ask some questions, and secondly to have a good drink.
Liu Kui and the others were not in retreat, so they all came very quickly.
"General!" Xianye and Prison Ghost looked very respectful.
Chen Qing smiled and said: "This is a private gathering, no need to be so polite, just sit down."
When the five thousand-man captains arrived, Chen Qing didn't rush to ask, but started drinking with them.
"General, you don't know that since you showed off your power last time, everyone who sees our counter-rebels now treats them with respect." Liu Kui said loudly.
Chen Qing smiled and said: "What everyone respects is not me, but the great contributions you have made to Heaven."
Liu Kui curled his lips and was about to say something when Chen Qing glared back.
"How was the fight against the rebels during my retreat? Did anything happen?" Chen Qing asked.
"General, in the past hundred years there has been almost no incident in suppressing the rebels, and everyone's cultivation has improved. Until now, there are a total of five more true immortals." Xianye replied.
Since Chen Qing went into seclusion, the Jade Emperor has not assigned any more tasks to the counter-rebellion forces.
They are all practicing with peace of mind, and with sufficient resources, everyone's cultivation has made some progress.
Many have reached the late stage of Void Refining, but the bottleneck of True Immortal is not so easy to break through.
In a hundred years, only five heavenly soldiers successfully broke through to the realm of true immortals, and the rest were stuck in the bottleneck period.
There are even a few who are too impatient and go crazy. For this reason, they have to choose to reincarnate and rebuild. Their foundation has been completely damaged.
Fortunately, their heavenly skills are sufficient, and even if they are not treated like those heavenly soldiers who died in battle, they will not be much worse.
"This is a good thing. What do they think? Leave the counter-rebel army or stay." Chen Qing asked.
If you break through to become a true immortal, you can become a heavenly general. Although it is the lowest level, it is still better than a heavenly soldier.
If other heavenly soldiers break through, they will definitely choose this path, or at worst choose to take up other immortal positions.
But it's different in the counter-rebel army. With Xianye and the others setting an example, they really may not choose to leave.
"They all chose to stay. In addition, His Majesty seems to be interested in expanding the counter-rebel army." Xianye said.
Chen Qing nodded, he also knew that he would expand the matter of suppressing the rebels, but the time was not ripe before.
Now that the combat effectiveness and deterrence of the counter-rebel forces have been verified, military expansion is normal.
Although this will increase the expenditure of a lot of resources, for Heavenly Court, this amount of resources is not even a drop in the bucket.
Chen Qing learned about the changes in the counter-rebel army while drinking. After drinking, Chen Qing left Xianye and Prison Ghost alone.
"I have something to ask you for help with," Chen Qing said.
Xianye immediately said: "General, you can just give me orders if you have something to do. There is no need to ask for anything."
Now Xianye admires Chen Qing with all his strength, not only because of Chen Qing's powerful fighting power, but also because Chen Qing has a kind of arrogance to fight against the heaven and the earth!
And this is what the Witch Clan appreciates the most!
Chen Qing asked: "When the Wu clan dominated the ancient world, they should have collected some training books, right?"
The biggest problem facing Chen Qing now is the method of training.
"The Immortal Art" is indeed very inclusive, but Chen Qing's magic power has undergone some inexplicable changes due to the influence of his own avenue.
And this change made the extremely inclusive "Heavenly Immortal Art" gradually lose its effect.
The training speed has become extremely slow, otherwise Chen Qing could even rush to the sixth level of the True Immortal in one breath this time!
So now Chen Qing needs to solve this problem quickly. Chen Qing has not yet found out about the training method that suits him.
This requires Chen Qing to start elsewhere.
Looking for some ancient training methods is a good way for Chen Qing.
Even if you can't practice directly, you can still learn from it. Many ancient training methods point directly to the great road, which may be able to point out a direction for Chen Qing.
Most of the training methods in Heaven are not very clever, after all, the foundation is not deep enough.
There is no problem with ordinary training methods, but if it involves such a method that directly points to the great road, it will expose the shortcomings of Heavenly Court.
That's why Chen Qing thought of asking for help from the Witch Clan.
Hearing Chen Qing's question, Xianye thought for a while and replied: "Maybe. I'm not very clear about this. Our Witch Clan doesn't need those training methods."
Instead, the prison ghost said: "There are, and there are quite a few. Although we, the witch clan, looked down on these techniques and had no need for them back then, Hou Tu Niang was interested in these techniques and had people keep them. Put it in the underworld.”
Chen Qing immediately became happy when he heard this, "Please go and ask if you can let me borrow one or two."
The prison ghost said directly: "No problem, these methods are placed over there and no one is looking at them."
Although the prison ghost was sure, Chen Qing still asked them to go back and ask whether these magic methods that the witch clan could collect were not ordinary methods.
Otherwise, it would be impossible for the Witch Clan to take a fancy to it.
So the two of them can't make the decision yet, so they need to ask the big witches of the witch clan.
…………
Three days after Chen Qing came out of seclusion, the Jade Emperor summoned him.
"How is Aiqing's injury?" the Jade Emperor asked with concern. Although he knew that there would be no problem with the Laojun's true elixir that he had rewarded, he still needed to express his concern.
Chen Qing immediately said: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, my injury has recovered."
Taibai Jinxing smiled on the side and said: "From what I can see, I see that General Chen has not only recovered from his injuries, but his cultivation has also improved rapidly. Congratulations to General."
Naturally, the Jade Emperor could see that even though Chen Qing had completely eliminated the energy in his body, the gap in cultivation between the two sides was too big.
After caring about Chen Qing for a moment, the Jade Emperor then talked about the purpose of calling him here this time.
"I hope to expand the army to suppress the rebels. What do you think, Ai Qing?" The Jade Emperor waited until Chen Qing came out of seclusion before asking about this matter. This was also a sign of respect for Chen Qing.
As Chen Qing showed strength and importance to heaven, the Jade Emperor also paid more and more attention to Chen Qing.
Chen Qing replied: "I will obey your Majesty's arrangements."
"Then expand the army to five thousand first. Just in time to suppress the rebels, there are five new true immortals, and let them serve as captains of one thousand people. How about it?" said the Jade Emperor.
Chen Qing naturally had no objection to this, and the matter was settled.
Soon, Heavenly Court announced this matter, and at the same time, as before, the selection of Heavenly Soldiers was carried out.
This time, there were obviously many more heavenly soldiers participating in the selection than before, and everyone signed up enthusiastically.
Naturally, this was due to Chen Qing's previous battle with Jie Jiao's disciples.
It was also from that time that these heavenly soldiers in Heaven began to have some sense of belonging to Heaven.
Of course, the most important thing is the treatment they receive from the counter-rebel troops. Over the years, the cultivation level of the counter-rebel troops has improved rapidly, making many heavenly soldiers extremely coveted.
Although the battles the counter-rebels participated in were also extremely dangerous, they had a very powerful and powerful general.
If we really talk about it, the battle loss rate of the counter-rebellion troops is not high.
But Chen Qing doesn't need to worry about these for the time being, he just needs to make arrangements.
As before, they will rely entirely on their strength, and this time the competition is even more stressful, so the strength of the selected heavenly soldiers will not be much different from the current counter-rebel forces.
…………
Xianye and Prison Ghost returned to the underworld the same day they received Chen Qing's request, and then returned to heaven not long after.
"General, these are some training methods that our witch clan has collected before. If the general has time, you can also go to the underworld to check more carefully." Not only did Xianye and the others come back, they also brought many training methods with them. .
In the eyes of the Wu Clan, these training methods are no different from waste paper. Their training methods are completely different from these Yuanshen methods.
It doesn't even make sense for reference.
That is to say, Empress Houtu was interested in these and could learn something from them, so she collected so many.
This has still left behind most of the training methods. After the Lich War, the Witch Clan suffered heavy losses and had no choice but to withdraw from the wilderness.
Most of the training books were simply thrown away. After all, it was too late to escape, so who cared about these things that they had no use for.
Chen Qing was immediately overjoyed when he heard this, "Thank you so much for me, senior Wu clan."
"I will definitely visit you when I have time."
Xianye said hesitantly: "General, that... our elders said..."
Seeing that he was hesitant in speaking, Chen Qing couldn't help but ask, "Is there anything you need me to do?"
From Xie Ye's embarrassed attitude, Chen Qing had some guesses.
Xianye touched his head, lowered his head and said: "Our great witch said that we want the general to recruit more witches into the heaven."
When he said this, Xianye was really ashamed. He felt like he was asking for benefits.
Chen Qing laughed immediately when he heard this, and said happily: "This is absolutely no problem, and it is also a good thing for Heaven. The Wu Clan are natural warriors. I look forward to more Wu Clan joining Heaven."
He didn't expect that the condition proposed by the Wu Clan was this. It was too simple.
And just like Chen Qing said, the Wu clan joining Tianting is a great thing for Tianting.
It's not just as simple as adding more wizards and adding a little more strength.
What's more, this is actually the Witch Clan's recognition of Heaven.
You know, although the Wu clan has been defeated and retreated from the wilderness, they can only survive in the underworld.
But after all, he is also one of the ancient overlords.
Having their recognition is a very good thing for heaven.
Hearing this, Xianye and Prison Ghost breathed a sigh of relief. Their progress over the years was also seen by the elders of the Wu clan.
In a short period of time, he has cultivated to the third level of the True Immortal Realm.
If we put this in the ancient times, when the Wu clan still dominated the ancient land, this would be nothing, or even inconspicuous.
But since the Wu Clan entered the underworld, the younger members of their clan have never practiced so fast again.
Even the path of training is getting more and more difficult, and now the changes in Xianye and the others have given these Wu Clan elders some hope.
Therefore, we are ready to start increasing investment, so that more younger generations of Wu clan can come out of the underworld. We do not seek to restore their past glory, but only hope that they can continue to practice normally and continue the inheritance of the Wu clan.
Otherwise, they feel that if they keep hiding in the underworld and cannot get out, the future of the Wu clan will become increasingly bleak.
…………
Chen Qing began a short retreat again, and began to understand the ancient training methods brought by Xianye and the others.
Soon Chen Qing couldn't help but be immersed in it. It had to be said that these ancient methods were indeed unique in many aspects!
Although the methods of Yuanshen may not have been particularly perfect at that time, these ancient training methods seemed very crude in some aspects, and even in the eyes of a true immortal like Chen Qing, they were all wrong.
If one really followed their training method, it might not be as fast as the current practice of "Heavenly Immortal Art".
But the people who were able to create the practice method at that time were all experts who had certain insights into the Tao.
There are even some powerful people among them.
Their explanations of the Great Dao were all based on these training methods.
Chen Qing was able to see many directions that he had not thought of before, and it had an analogous effect on his own swordsmanship.
……………
And just when Chen Qing fell into understanding the ancient training methods, the atmosphere in the East China Sea Dragon Palace was quite strange.
"Please let us go, Dragon King. We have converted to my Buddha and need to go to Xifang to serve my Buddha." A golden dragon said solemnly.
Behind him, there were hundreds of real dragons and dragons, all with solemn faces.
At this time, not only the Dragon King of the East China Sea, but also the Dragon Kings of the other three seas arrived.
Seeing this scene, everyone looked very ugly.
"Ao Ming, do you know what you are talking about?" The Dragon King of Beihai glared at him.
The golden dragon named Ao Ming's expression did not change at all, "I know very well what I am talking about and what I want. I was too stubborn in the past. After I became a Buddha, I now understand the true meaning. Where am I and what do I want?"
"My Buddha is compassionate!" All the dragons behind him said in unison.
The Dragon King of South China Sea said with a gloomy face: "What's the use of telling him this? He is no longer him, he has been completely converted."
As soon as these words came out, the other three dragon kings all had equally gloomy expressions, and they naturally knew it.
"It's too much to bully a dragon!" The Dragon King of the East China Sea slammed the table, and the table instantly turned into powder!
"In the past, they only quietly converted one or two dragons, and we could treat them as invisible, but now they have gone too far, and they actually want to convert so many of our tribesmen!" The Dragon King of Beihai became angrier as he spoke.
Although they didn't mention anyone by name, everyone knew who they were talking about. Who else would do this except Westerners? And he also focused on the transformation of their dragon clan.
The Dragon King of South China Sea said bitterly: "Then what can we do? We can't resolve their method of salvation, and we don't dare to cause trouble with them. You know, those are two saints."
As he spoke, he became desperate. Although the two saints of the Western Sect did not personally take action in these matters, the Dragon Clan was already afraid and did not dare to offend the Western Sect. They could only watch helplessly.
The Dragon King of the East China Sea looked at them and said, "Do you have any other options? If it doesn't work, let's see if we can find a good friend to help us intercede."
The other three dragon kings were all silent. Even if they could be found, who would be willing to offend those two saints?
At this moment, the Dragon King of the West Sea suddenly said: "We can ask Heaven for help."
"Don't forget, we are subordinates of Heavenly Court, Heavenly Court should protect us, and those two will definitely not take action against Heavenly Court."
The Dragon King of the South China Sea shook his head and said: "So what if Heaven is willing to come forward? At most, it is just a superficial rebuke of Western religions. It is impossible for the Jade Emperor to personally come forward for us. Do other people dare to offend Western religions?"
He had no hope at all.
The Dragon King of the West Sea said: "Maybe someone really dares!"
