exchange!
Celestial being Zhou Bai applied to use 1,500 points of fifth-level heavenly power to redeem the general of Heavenly Lord to subdue demons. The request has been accepted.
After approval by the Emperor of Heaven, an angel descended to earth and conferred a title on the same day.
Cangshan Spiritual Land has not yet been fully formed, and the corresponding level of the imperial general is definitely not high, so Zhou Bai did not think twice and decisively chose to exchange for the rank of General Subduing Demons.
The redemption of fifth-turn privileges will never be worse than that of fourth-turn privileges. The first few turns are fine, but the difference becomes larger as you go to the back.
Query the Heavenly Power: Four turns and nine hundred and twenty-five points.
Now that the most important Heavenly Lord was available, there was no need to keep these Heavenly Arts. Zhou Bai decided to continue exchanging them.
Screening, fourth-level Tiangong authority, and mountain-protecting formation.
The formation also requires a mountain-protecting formation that can be exchanged for less than 925 points. This condition is actually very difficult, so only three formations are displayed in the jade order.
They are the Illusive Mist Enchanting Formation, the Earth Meridian Golden Bell Formation, and the Small Five Elements Upside Down Formation.
The formation level is divided into nine levels. Levels 1 to 3 are the primary level, and the corresponding energy levels for attack and defense are Entering the Dao, Mortal Transformation, and Yin Shen; Levels 4 to 6 are the intermediate level, and the corresponding energy levels are Yang Shen, Dharma, and Overcoming Tribulation; Level seven or above is a high level, and the corresponding energy level is the Mahayana realm and above.
The Magic Mist and Soul Formation is a large-scale magic formation that protects the mountain. It mainly serves as a concealment. Those who break into the formation are often directly trapped to death.
The advantage of this array is that it is cheap and covers a wide range. It only costs 600 contribution points to exchange.
The initial formation materials it comes with can cover a mountain range three hundred miles long. To advance, it requires five turns and five hundred points of contribution, and the coverage and power will increase accordingly.
The Earth Vein Golden Bell Formation is a standard defensive formation. When fully opened, it can form a layer of Golden Bell Shield. Normally, the Earth Vein Spiritual Energy can be extracted to maintain a semi-open state.
The exchange requires 800 points of contribution, the initial level can cover 300 miles, and the advanced level requires 5,000 points of contribution.
The small five-element inverted formation is one of the common mountain-protecting formations. It has multiple attributes such as trapping, attack, and defense at the same time, and the formation is fully functional.
The redemption requires 900 points of contribution. The initial level can cover 400 miles, and the advanced level requires 1,500 points of contribution.
One is a phantom formation or a trapped formation, and the other is a pure turtle shell, neither of which are in line with Zhou Bai's wishes.
Decisively, I still choose the third formation. The small five-element upside-down formation has complete functions and can adapt to the changing situations later. The potential for advancement is obviously greater.
The total length of Cangshan Mountain is more than 600 miles, and the Small Five Elements Upside Down Formation covers 400 miles, which cannot cover all of Cangshan Mountain.
There are more than 200 miles left, and the development can only be postponed, or it can be temporarily used as a peripheral buffer zone. Zhou Bai also has preliminary ideas.
For example, if you open a Sanxiufang City, you can rent out a large amount of spiritual stones, and you can also collect taxes; build a mountain city where mortals can settle down, and use it as a place for foreign exchange and trade; allocate it to vassal families as residences, etc.
Heavenly Man Zhou Bai applied to exchange 900 points of the Fourth Transformation Heavenly Power for the Small Five Elements Reversal Formation. The request has been accepted.
After approval by the relevant heavenly officials, the formation plate will be delivered shortly.
The responses for exchanging items and exchanging Tianjue are different, and the emphasis is obviously very different. Even the price of this formation is quite high.
With only the last twenty-five points left to contribute, even if I could exchange for a spiritual elixir, Heaven would not give it to me.
Generally speaking, only when the redemption items accumulate to a certain level, heaven will send angels to deliver them uniformly.
Well, even if you are "delivering express" in heaven, you are still a heavenly official with a certain level. How can you come down to earth every day and provoke the will of the world to reject you?
I don’t know how long it will take for the angel to arrive. Zhou Bai will no longer stay in the cave for a long time. There may be a lot of changes outside in the past three days.
Feng Xu Yufeng, Zhou Bai looked down from the clouds and saw six hundred miles of Cangshan Mountain, lying between the grassland and Bei'an County.
In the past, this could only be used as a natural barrier to block the enemies on the other side of the mountain, allowing our own forces to develop with peace of mind.
However, now, the will of the world has set off a tide of spiritual power, causing the spiritual veins inside Cangshan Mountain to gradually take shape, and this place has become the foundation place that many ambitious people dream of.
There may be better places with richer spiritual energy in other major states, but looking at Dingzhou, Cangshan Mountain is definitely the most suitable spiritual vein that Zhou Bai can currently obtain.
Wisps of spiritual energy continue to be generated, which has exceeded 50% of the spiritual energy concentration at the foot of the mountain. In some areas with the main peak of Zhoubaidong Mansion as the core, there is even a little spiritual mist visible to the naked eye.
Cangshan's spiritual veins are not only long, but even when they are not fully formed, it can be seen that the quality is not low. It is not a problem to raise hundreds or even thousands of monks.
In particular, he is planning to form an elite force in the future, which requires spiritual energy to temper the body. Ordinary people cannot enter the Tao, but it is possible to fight one against five against ten.
After taking a quick look around Cangshan Mountain, we saw people coming and going in the vast houses and courtyards, and the spiritual fields and workshops were all operating in an orderly manner.
Zhou Bai felt relieved and went straight to his family's ancestral land.
Not far from the ancestral land, there is a school ground that has been expanded several times. Many people did not understand why it was built so big.
Now five thousand people are practicing inside, with great momentum, shouting to kill Yingtian, and they suddenly realize it.
This was a plan that Heavenly Man had already planned to expand the army by five thousand, and it was not forced upon him because of the recent major changes.
Zhou Baifei flew over the school grounds, where five thousand people were divided into ten small groups and were practicing separately. Officers at all levels were blowing whistles and shouting, trying to integrate the new recruits and veterans as quickly as possible.
The internal military system consists of five men per corps, two corps and one shi, five shi as one team, two teams as one capital, and five corps as one battalion.
One battalion has 500 people, and ten small blocks are ten battalions of 5,000 people. At this time, the number of people alone is more than three times more than the 1,500 people of the county soldiers.
However, Zhou Bai was not too happy, because according to common sense, when foreign monks fly over the military camp, they will be impacted and suppressed by the military spirit.
There are all kinds of qi in the world, and those who have mastered extraordinary power can use most of them, but some qi can naturally restrain extraordinary power.
Such as dragon spirit, official spirit, military spirit, certain evil spirits, etc.
In the mortal world, the Humane Dynasty can suppress Taoist sects in the world, not only because it has the support of Heaven, but also because the Humanity Dynasty can derive dragon aura and official aura.
The dragon spirit is domineering and the official spirit is tyrannical.
Both are suppressive to extraordinary powers. At the peak of the dynasty, an imperial edict or an official document could knock down many monks.
Just like Zhou Bai has reached the peak of the second realm, he will still be suppressed by half to 10% of his strength when he sets foot in today's Pingcang County Government Office.
】
Dragon energy is born from the system, gathered among all people, and gathered from the masses.
Official aura also comes from the system. The system grants you an official position, and you have the corresponding official aura based on the authority of your position.
The stronger the system standing behind you, the stronger the dragon spirit and official spirit you have.
However, dragon energy can only be controlled by the master or the princes who have been entrusted by the owner. Like the current Daxu court, Emperor Tongzhi and the regent have the most dragon energy in Daxu, and the other princes who have been enfeoffed each have a smaller portion.
In addition, most of those who have established states outside the borders of Daxu have separated from the main dragon vein of Daxu, and have been discontinued, only in the thought of their masters.
Both dragon qi and official qi are based on the power of the system. Zhou Bai does not rely on Daxu at the moment and can only take his time. No one can blame him.
But military morale is independent. If the army is strong, then military morale is strong.
Now Zhou Bai did not reveal his identity and took over the authority of the army, but he did not receive too much impact.
Feeling the flow of mana in the body, it only suppressed him by about half, which is the same as in the county where the system and laws have been weakened.
In the past, in mortal dragon battles, monks beheaded generals and captured the flag. Although assassination of the commander-in-chief had occurred from time to time, there were not many successful cases and it was difficult to survive.
It is because the general is in a military camp, full of military spirit, and protected by brave soldiers.
When a monk sneaks into the military camp and is suppressed by the military spirit, not only will his magic power be stagnant and his strength greatly reduced, but he will also be extremely easy to be discovered.
Among his five thousand people, the junior officers are all the backbone of the elite Zhuang Ding camp. Everyone has more than half a year of study experience in the martial arts camp. The expanded soldiers are also the standard 4,500 reserve soldiers.
Among them, 1,500 have completed three-day drills and have combat experience, 3,000 have trained three times a month, and have mastered basic combat techniques.
Even if the running-in is not enough, the military spirit will not be lost.
In his memory of his previous life, he had led clan soldiers, and their weak military strength was more affected than what he was experiencing now.
Could it be that they are too far apart? Or maybe it's the reason why he practices Hunyuan Qi Luck Daozang.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bai covered his face and swooped down from the clouds.
"There is an enemy, a monk!"
"Arrange quickly!"
"Archers prepare!"
The reaction in the school grounds was also very fast. Under Zhou Yuan's control, all battalions formed their formations on the spot.
There may still be a lot of commotion, but because they are in a drill state at this time, simple circular formations are quickly formed.
The swords and guns were raised together, and a large number of archers also drew their bows and arrows. The light of the sharp weapons was reflected on Zhou Bai's face.
At this time, he was only more than ten feet away from the ground, and the faces of each soldier could be seen clearly. They were nervous, angry, and calm, and each had different expressions.
In Zhou Bai's eyes, the boiling blood of the five thousand people was like a ball of fire, and then gathered into the weapon in his hand.
"Kill! Kill!"
Along with the cry of killing, military spirit is constantly derived from the war.
It became violent, black smoke billowed, and the thick military aura continued to burn the spiritual energy flowing around him.
Zhou Bai observed carefully that his sensitivity to external spiritual energy was weakened, and his body's magic power was stagnant by more than 30%.
If he is identified as an enemy and launches an attack, his mana may be suppressed by more than 50%.
This is the pinnacle of his abnormal second level. If he were a casual cultivator, he would have no choice but to run away.
It's not that there's something wrong with the soldiers he trained with Jingwu Yaoluo, but that they haven't been tempered enough. With a force of five thousand men, the range of suppression is also limited.
In addition, his skills are also very special.
In just a short period of time, Zhou Bai secretly mobilized his luck to kill his military energy, which was very useful.
If he is really trapped in the army in the future, at worst it will damage his luck, he will not really be suppressed and killed by the mortal army.
"Whose monk is this person?!"
At this time, Zhou Yuan's shouts and questions came, interrupting his efforts to continue testing and confronting the military spirit.
However, Zhou Bai was not annoyed. Instead, he smiled slightly and floated on the high platform of the school ground.
He removed the magic shield on his face and praised: "My tiger and wolf are so powerful!"
The soldiers below were stunned, and the tense atmosphere immediately dissipated. The general, Zhou Yuan, knelt down and apologized.
At the same time, five thousand soldiers paid their respects in unison: "See Palace Master!"
In the past three days, although Zhou Yuan and a group of mid-level officers were busy building up the new army, each of them knew whose food they were eating and who gave them such a comfortable life.
Today, among the five hundred villagers, all of them have private land and a solid family background. After the expansion of the army, the worst one has become a corps commander.
The role model is there, even if they know more or less what career they want to do, no one is afraid of it.
Because this is the best chance for them to make a comeback as farmers. Zhou Bai has used countless incidents to prove that he has the ability to lead everyone to make a comeback!
Facing five thousand pairs of fiery eyes, Zhou Bai wanted to say some inspiring words.
At this time, in the clear autumn sky, a gate of heaven slowly opened with glowing rays of light, and then a heavenly official with a moral integrity stepped out from inside.
Zhou Bai still didn't understand that this was coming to him, but the Emperor of Heaven approved it too quickly.
After tidying up his clothes and washing his face with the cool breeze, Zhou Bai saluted and waited.
"The Heavenly Man Zhou Bai, respectfully welcomes the Heavenly Envoy."
The official took a few steps and appeared on the campus in an instant. His face was solemn and he held a majestic decree with golden light in his right hand.
"The Red Emperor's edict says: Heaven is mighty and blessed. Today, Zhou Bai is not afraid of hardships and dangers in resisting foreign demons, and has made great achievements... He should receive the reward of the Heavenly Lord, and he is specially named a sixth-grade demon-suppressing general. Xu Open a mansion and build a tooth..."
"My lord, Zhou Bai, please kowtow to thank Heaven!" Zhou Bai bowed deeply to the Tianmen and thanked him.
The five thousand sergeants in the school were a little dazed as they watched Zhou Bai receive the decree from heaven. Has the head of his palace become a noble of heaven?
"General Fumo, please come quickly. I am only a seventh-grade official who declares the decree on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven. I cannot withstand such a noble person as you for a long time." After the Heavenly Official read out the decree, his tone was very kind and authentic.
Zhou Bai didn't show any pretense and took over the golden decree. This time the decree would not disappear again.
"Since my lord is announcing the decree on behalf of the Emperor of Heaven, I must not be disobedient. This was true when I was a white-bodied heavenly being, and even more so now that I have become a demon-subduing general."
The official's eyes flashed with light, as if he really saw Zhou Bai's sincerity, and he smiled kindly and said: "Hahaha, okay, General Fu Mo is indeed loyal to Heaven, this is your Seal of General Fu Mo, please keep it. "
This Great Seal of Heaven is golden in color, with a majestic shape, and mottled traces of time can be seen on it. It seems to be the imprint of the Ancient Jue handed down from the ancient Heaven.
In terms of regulation, it was no different from the seal of a noble noble in the mortal world, but when Zhou Bai held the decree of heaven in one hand and the seal of general subduing demons in the other, he immediately felt what it meant to be blessed by destiny.
An overwhelming amount of luck is rolling in, as if he can succeed in whatever he does now.
[Luck: Huangtang County's destiny, destiny added to you] (Your destiny has undergone transformation, which can be said to be precious. From now on, you will be promoted to the fifth rank of Huangtang, and you will control the land of a county. There will be no worries about being unworthy of the position; you will be granted the title of Heavenly Lord to subjugate demons. General, in a short period of time, you will receive direct support from heaven’s luck.)
[Origin Point: One Hundred and Nine Points] (Obtaining the title of Ancient Lord of Heaven and the rank of Sixth-Rank Demon-Conquering General, your influence in the Tianyuan world will be greatly increased, and the origin point will be increased by one hundred.)
Wind and cloud meet, times create heroes, the right time, the right location, the right people, he has them all now.
Zhou Bai glanced at the five thousand sergeants gathered below. The military aura was strong but not condensed, and he couldn't help but feel a move in his heart.
But he still said to the official who announced the decree first: "Do you have anything else to explain, sir?"
The official still kept smiling, and then transmitted the message into the secret: "His Majesty the Red Emperor appreciates you very much for choosing the post of General Subduing Demons. At the same time, he asked me to remind you that if you open a government in the name of General Subduing Demons, you'd better resign from all the imperial duties. Official positions, including noble positions in the Hanlin Academy."
"Thank you for conveying His Majesty the Red Emperor's reminder. I must submit my resignation form before opening the palace, so as not to be constrained by Da Xu's luck." Zhou Bai also replied through a message.
"General Fu Mo seems to have studied the art of luck. By the way, the small Five Elements Inversion Formation you exchanged is also with me."
"You point to a place and I will set up this mountain-protecting formation for you. Otherwise, unless you find a formation master, just setting up the formation will take up a lot of time for you."
Zhou Bai was a little happy that Tianguan took the initiative to invite him, and immediately led him to Cangshan Mountain and designated a range.
I saw countless formation flags planted in various mysterious directions, and then a formation disk was placed on the main peak of Cangshan Mountain, where Zhoubaidong Mansion is located.
"General, please be sure to guard the formation's eye closely."
Then there was a series of formation manipulations. Formation patterns loomed from the foot of the Four Hundred Cang Mountain to the top of the mountain, and huge suction force suddenly poured out.
The spiritual mist on the main peak was gone, and the originally relatively strong spiritual energy was reduced by more than half in an instant, and was flowing away continuously.
"If the general doesn't want to fill too many spiritual stones now, then he can only wait for the unformed medium-grade spiritual veins to be slowly supplied. It is estimated that it will take at least a month before the concentration of Cangshan's spiritual energy can return to normal."
After listening to Tianguan's words, Zhou Bai asked while dripping blood into the main array plate to identify the master, "Thank you, sir. If it does not affect the level of the spiritual veins, then naturally wait for the formation to slowly absorb the spiritual energy."
Tian Guan shook his head and said: "Don't worry, it won't affect you. The formation techniques are all in the main formation disk. The Small Five Elements Upside Down Formation is the best among the three-level formations. If only one or two Yangshen come to attack, the defense range will be reduced." It can be completely blocked.”
"I am the one who has come. Heaven is no longer patient. I will take my leave now. I will see you later, General Fumo."
He originally wanted to explain it to Zhou Bai in more detail, but he seemed to feel the invisible pressure of the world's will and had to say goodbye in a hurry.
When the immortal flew away on the clouds and the heavenly gate opened wide, Zhou Bai remembered that this person had left no information.
"Dare you ask the Heavenly Official's name?"
"We are both working for His Majesty the Red Emperor, so there is no need for the general to show mercy, and there is no causal implication."
…
When Zhou Bai returned to the school grounds, it was less than a cup of tea.
It is no wonder that such a huge formation project is progressing so smoothly when the true form of Mahayana or immortal comes.
Looking at the puzzled and excited eyes of five thousand people, Zhou Bai took out the Demon-Conquering General Seal from the storage ring, and then raised it high.
"Today, since I have been conferred the rank of Demon-Suppressing General by the Heavenly Court, it is a foregone conclusion that I will open my palace and build my teeth. All officers and men should also follow me and receive the military call."
"From now on, you will be called the Demon-Subduing Army, and you will be under the control of the Demon-Subduing General's Mansion. You will be your own entity and not subject to the jurisdiction of the imperial court!"
No matter how calm and composed Zhou Bai was on weekdays, he was extremely excited about the new military bugle at this time.
His overflowing joy and high-pitched voice made the five thousand soldiers also clamor.
Zhou Yuan had followed Zhou Bai for so long, so of course he knew what to do now, so he shouted out with a mighty voice.
"My demon-suppressing army is mighty!"
"Tiger, tiger, tiger!"
The tiger roar of the whole army broke through the sky, and the military energy fluctuated, and then slowly gathered.
But this speed was too slow. Zhou Bai glanced at the Zhou flag in the corner of the school field and said loudly: "Come here, take the black flag. There is a demon-suppressing army, how can there be no demon-suppressing army flag?"
Soon, someone brought a rectangular black flag without words and held it in front of Zhou Bai by four flag bearers.
Without thinking, he immediately took out the ink pen from the storage ring and waved it at the black flag.
Fight the devil!
When the Zhou Zi flag and the Demon Subduing flag stood and fluttered over the army, the scattered military spirit finally found its backbone and slowly gathered towards the military flag.
At this time, I went to see the military appearance. It was solemn and orderly, and it looked like a strong army.
Without it, Zhou Bai gathered military morale and made the military spirit return.
In the next few battles, the demon-suppressing army will sooner or later become one of the strongest armies in the world.
It's a pity that the demon-suppressing military flag has not been passed down in the Heavenly Court, otherwise it would be possible to summon a military demon immediately and defeat the magical power with an ordinary army.
After the military bugle and flag were given, there was another drill. It was obvious that the soldiers were working harder and more energetic.
The sky was getting darker. Zhou Bai stood on the high platform and stretched out his hand to lower it slowly. The scene suddenly became quiet.
"Pass my order, make food at the third watch and set out at the fifth watch. I will open the Demon Subduing General's Mansion in Pingcang County tomorrow!"
"Follow the general's orders!"
On September 19th, the forty-seventh year of Xiangxing, at dawn, Zhou Bai led the 5,000-man demon-subduing army and set off.
Accompanying him were civil and military officials from the inner government, and even ordinary civil servants were there.
This posture is a posture that will inevitably capture Pingcang County. They will march today and open the mansion today.
As for the family's ancestral land, since the houses and roads on Cangshan Mountain have been repaired in the past six months, and the clan temple and most of the clan members have moved to Cangshan Mountain, some clan soldiers can be left to garrison the ancestral land.
After all, this is the core area of tens of thousands of acres of clan land, and it needs to be managed by human hands.
Moreover, the basic formations of the ancestral land have not been removed. The Kuchun San people stay here and can cope with unexpected changes.
When he handed in the certificate of surrender, he already knew that he had no choice but to follow Zhou Bai and work hard.
However, Kuchun Sanren now seemed to have found the right tree. After getting to know him, he realized how deep Zhou Bai had accumulated.
The heavenly court issued an edict yesterday, conferring the title of General Subduing Demons, which further strengthened his idea.
How could the majestic Heavenly Lord not give him a chance to break through the realm and extend his life? Moreover, the things he got now were not bad. He could consult and practice the secret methods of alchemy and talisman making.
There is a mountain camp in Cangshan Mountain and a large formation to protect the mountain. Yu Yueyun has the authority of the second formation. It can be said that he has no worries about the rear of the army this time.
Even if they set out before dawn, five thousand people marching on the official road could not hide it from anyone.
When families from the Cangshan Alliance came to inquire, Zhou Bai would simply tell him that he was stationed in the county. Others who were not familiar with him would come and ask for surrender.
At noon, the demon-suppressing military flag and the Zhou flag finally appeared in the sight of the officials and gentry of Pingcang.
They stood on the top of the city and had a heated discussion, without caring about the county soldiers who were nervously guarding the city.
"Zhou Pake is still Daxu's Hanlin editor, how dare you be so ungrateful."
"I don't believe he really dares to attack the city. He just wants to show off his power and want to scare us, and then turn a blind eye to him raising bandits in the Cangshan countryside." The county magistrate Shou Heng pretended to be calm and tried to appease everyone like a Jinshi. All the officials and gentry.
However, Xu Yun, the county captain, knew that Zhou Bai would not do meaningless things, so he sighed quietly: "The imperial court has lost power, I'm afraid he really dares, he is a man of heaven..."
Sure enough, a quarter of an hour later, pioneer Gao Hu led a hundred horse troops to the city.
"People in the city, listen, the sixth-rank ancient lord of Heavenly Court, General Zhou Bai, the demon-suppressing general, will enter the city to open his mansion."
"Anyone who obstructs him will be regarded as an enemy of General Fumo and will be killed without mercy!
"
