After all the sacrifices have been made to speed pass, who is still practicing hard skills?

Chapter 446 Sacrifice! The Supreme Spirit!
"Zhennan Army"

Li Chengguo narrowed his eyes, and a cold and ruthless chill lingered around his body. Judging from the current situation, the possibility of a successful rebellion was extremely low, and the most fundamental reason.

He is not yet sanctified.

Without the strength of a Martial Saint, one cannot control a state at all.

It is even less likely that those top forces will place a heavy bet on him.

The top ten of the Fengyun Martial List, the peak great masters, may be able to dominate a region, but it is basically impossible for them to establish their own regime, because with such little strength, they will never be able to make the imperial court compromise.

The most direct condition for making the court compromise is that the court cannot do anything to him.

But he also knew that after this incident, the imperial court would definitely strip him of his title very quickly. If he delayed too long, something unexpected would happen to the Zhennan Army.

This is his final foundation.

Although the 100,000 Zhennan Army is not numerous, each of them is a soldier carefully selected by him. Once the battle formation is formed, even a Martial Saint can fight in it, and the Qingtian Sect values ​​this as well.

Because although the Qingtian Sect has been rebelling constantly throughout history, so far it has only brought together a group of bandits and vagrants, and has never had a truly organized elite army.

If we can take the Zhennan Army as the core and support it with expansion, we can mobilize an army of 300,000 with combat power comparable to the imperial army in a short period of time.

Therefore, the Zhennan Army must not afford to make any mistakes. After thinking it over again and again, he opened his eyes and said:
“Send my order to Dongsheng and his men. All the elite troops stationed in the state capital and guarding the various passes along the border should abandon the city immediately and head to Nanyue.

At the same time, contact the King of Nanyue in my name and tell him that all my Zhennan troops have been withdrawn. If Nanyue is interested, it can send troops to Yuezhou. I can share Yuezhou's thousands of miles of territory with him!"

Li Yuanxiu's eyes moved slightly. After careful consideration, he felt that Li Chengguo's choice was very wise. With their current strength, it would be difficult for them to compete with Jiang Che and the imperial court.

But if South Vietnam were to send troops, that would be a different story.

The focus of the imperial court will also shift to resisting foreign invaders. Without the 100,000 Zhennan troops stationed there, the remaining soldiers will definitely not be able to resist the massive invasion of Nanyue.

But the problem is
South Vietnam suffered heavy losses in the previous war, and it is probably impossible for it to mobilize too many troops now.

He immediately expressed this doubt.

But Li Chengguo snorted and said:

“Nanyue alone does not have this ability, but the Baiyue region is not limited to Nanyue alone. The strength of Minyue, Huyue and other countries is not much inferior to Nanyue.

With the coalition forces of several countries, we can gather an army of 200,000 and more than ten grand masters. "

"But in this case, isn't your foster father afraid of raising a tiger that may cause trouble?"

Li Yuanxiu frowned.

“The Baiyue barbarians are nothing to be afraid of. When I become a saint, it will be easy to drive them out. By then, I will have the assistance of the Tiannan Gao family, the Yingchuan Guo family, and the Xuehai clan.

With the support of the Holy Church, I can truly establish my rule over Yuezhou."

Li Chengguo said in a deep voice, his words seemed filled with great confidence.

Li Yuanxiu glanced at Yin Suxin beside him calmly and nodded slightly:

"Okay, Yuan Xiu will immediately use the sound transmission talisman to inform all the generals of the Zhennan Army."

Long before, Li Chengguo had prepared sound transmission notes for several of his adopted generals who were leading troops independently, so that the message could be delivered to every place in the shortest time possible.

After Li Yuanxiu left, Li Chengguo continued:
"Now that things have come to this, I am completely tied to the Holy Church. I will have to trouble you, Your Majesty, with the blood sacrifice."

Yin Suxin pursed her lips and smiled:
“Why are you troubling me? When Marquis Zhennan breaks through to become a Martial Saint, he will be the deputy leader of our Holy Church. There is no need to thank us. As for the blood sacrifice, the Holy Church has already prepared most of the things.

As long as the Marquis of Zhennan agrees to this, it can be started immediately, but it will take about a month to arrange. "

"Where is the blood sacrifice site? Where does the Holy Church plan to place it?"

Li Chengguo continued.

"This is your chance to become a saint. Where do you think it is appropriate to be placed?"

"Since it is a blood sacrifice, it naturally requires blood essence. In this case, it is just right to place it near the border. It is just right to use the blood essence of the Baiyue barbarians to help me, Li Chengguo, become a saint."

If he had a choice, Li Chengguo did not want to use the blood of the people of the Central Plains for this blood sacrifice. As an iron-blooded warrior who had fought his way up from the bottom of the border, Li Chengguo had his own pride.

He has an even greater recognition of the Central Plains.

The reason why he betrayed the court was not because he was unfaithful, but because he was too ambitious. The same was true when he joined forces with the Qingtian Sect. He wanted too much to reach the realm of Martial Saint.

The most fundamental reason is that he has not much time left.

Although he was only over a hundred years old and seemed to have a long life, the skills he practiced consumed a great deal of his lifespan, leaving him with less than a hundred years of vitality.

If he doesn't try again, his energy and blood will be depleted and his chance of becoming a saint will be completely lost.

The reason why he led the Baiyue coalition army into the pass was that he hoped to contain the imperial court and Jiang Che. In fact, as he had long regarded Yuezhou as his own territory, he would not give these lands to the barbarians for nothing.

Yin Suxin looked at Li Chengguo carefully for a moment and nodded slightly:

"Okay, then let's follow the advice of Marquis Zhennan."

Inside Tianlong Temple.

In a quiet room somewhere.

Jiang Che sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and exhaled.

In front of him, there was a floating spiritual fruit emitting green spiritual light. The green light permeated the quiet room and flowed into the acupoints and pores of Jiang Che's body with his breath.

Longevity fruit.

Jiang Che is extending his life at this moment.

This was one of the trophies Jiang Che obtained when he intercepted and killed the Northern Barbarian envoy last time. However, due to the sacrifice to the Heavenly Stele, he did not want any accidents to happen, so he did not refine it.

Now that the next sacrificial target is about to be set, it is natural to take the opportunity to use it for one's own benefit.

Although two hundred and forty years of lifespan is not a long time, Jiang Che feels that it is still not enough. He is now at a critical moment and he may be forced to make a sacrifice at any time.

Naturally, we need to use various methods to prolong our lifespan.

However, things that can prolong life cannot be used easily.

In fact, through the destruction of the Beiling Qi family, the Tianlong Temple, and the Longhu Dao Sect, he was able to obtain many things that could prolong his life, but although those things were precious, he was unwilling to use them.

Because things like life-extending spiritual objects cannot be stacked indefinitely, if he rashly refined something that could increase his lifespan by ten or twenty years, it would likely greatly reduce the effectiveness of things like the Hundred-Year Life Spirit Fruit.

And the first refining is the most beneficial.

Therefore, Jiang Che has actually been restraining himself all the time.

However, that is only true for ordinary life-extending spiritual objects, while things like the Hundred-Year Life Spiritual Fruit are extremely precious. As long as the age is sufficient, it is not impossible to increase one's lifespan by more than a hundred years.

It is most suitable for him to use.

With every breath, the essence of the Hundred Longevity Spirit Fruit continued to flow into Jiang Che's body like a whale swallowing. As his chest and abdomen swelled, the sound of dragon roars continued to ring out.

On the surface, Jiang Che really couldn't tell anything. After all, he looked very young now, with not a single gray hair on his head, and his blood and energy were vigorous.

But inside, Jiang Che could feel a huge change.

As he refined and devoured the essence, his internal organs, flesh, blood, tendons, and bones all vibrated, and his entire body shone with light, making the entire quiet room as bright as day. Half a day later.

The Hundred Longevity Spirit Fruit hanging in the void had completely shriveled up at this moment, and it was difficult to absorb it. However, Jiang Che still adhered to the principle of not wasting, and swallowed its remains into his stomach to refine it.

Another moment passed.

Jiang Che let out a long breath and felt extremely comfortable all over. He was full of energy. The feeling was several times better than discussing Taoism with fairies. It was as if his whole body had been sublimated.

After a few moments of silence, Jiang Che closed his eyes again.

He couldn't wait to see how much his life span had been extended this time.

Within the space of the Heavenly Monument.

Jiang Che engraved his goal in his mind.

[Sacrificial goal: Breakthrough the Yuanshen realm. ]

On the heavenly monument, light continued to flow until more than ten breaths later it dissipated, and a line of words reappeared on it.

[Sacrificial price: a section of the Heaven and Earth Dragon Vein, a Thunder Heart Bead to Repel Evil, a Nine Nether True Blood Tree, a Tiangang Yang Yuan Grass, a cluster of Void Spirit Divine Flame. Ten years of life will be reduced, and the remaining life will be 335 years. Do you want to sacrifice? ]

When he opened his eyes, a hint of solemnity flashed across Jiang Che's eyes.

It was just as he expected. As his cultivation level increased, the sacrifices he needed became more and more precious. Of course, Jiang Che understood that there was another reason, which was that he was not just practicing magic power at the moment.

It also includes physical practice.

It is because of the combination of the two that there are so many sacrifices.

Of course, although Jiang Che felt pressure from these sacrifices, he also saw some good news. For example, the increase in lifespan made him very happy.

Originally, his life span was 240 years after his last sacrifice, but now it has become 335 years, if the ten years that were cut off are counted.

It was equivalent to refining a hundred-year-long spiritual fruit, which increased his lifespan by a full 105 years.

Extend your life by a hundred years!

This was something that excited him greatly.

Along the way, he made constant sacrifices, and even though his cultivation advanced by leaps and bounds, his lifespan was shortened too much. He was only twenty-one years old, cultivating both Dharma and body, and he only had two hundred years left to live.

If this gets out, no one will believe it.

His sacrifices all came at a price.

Fortunately, life span can also make up for it.

If he had a thousand years of life, he would dare to attempt a forced sacrifice even without a sacrifice.

Beyond that, there's good news.

That is, there is a sacrifice in his hand at this moment.

Dragon Vein!

He obtained this section of dragon vein from the Red Blood Demon Lord. It has been coveted by many powerful people since the beginning, and he was even hunted down by the Nanyue Ancestor. Now, he can finally use it.

This thing is absolutely extraordinary. King Kaoshan Ji Chengdao doesn't think highly of it because his realm is too high and a section of dragon vein is useless to him, but Jiang Che definitely thinks highly of it.

Long ago, he had a premonition that sooner or later this thing would become a sacrifice.

Now it's true.

Or he was at the critical juncture of breaking through the realm of Yuanshen.

However, that’s where the good news ends.

Apart from lifespan and dragon veins.

The other four sacrifices are quite tricky for him at the moment.

The first is the evil-repelling Thunder Heart Pearl. Like the Wind Spirit Pearl, it is one of the most top-notch spiritual objects for overcoming tribulations in the world. It is especially important when overcoming the tribulation of fire.

The wind calamity is called the celestial wind calamity, which requires the aura of heaven and earth to be mobilized to cleanse the Nascent Soul, while the fire calamity is called the devil's heart fire calamity, which does not involve external fire but grows from the inside out.

It can be said that the stronger a person's desires and murderous intent are, the more terrifying the fire disaster will be.

Unless one is born with an innocent heart, normal warriors need to borrow spiritual objects to assist in their practice. For example, Zhao Xianzhi balanced the yin and yang because she was afraid that when she was crossing the calamity, her foundation would not be enough and she would be attacked by the extreme yin source. She triggered the yin fire to burn her Nascent Soul.

In the martial arts world, many great masters of the magic path who practiced quick success methods mostly failed at this stage, their souls burned by the fire in their hearts. The Red Blood Demon Lord once mentioned the scene when he was going through the fire calamity.

Even though he prepared many spiritual objects that he had looted, he still almost failed to overcome the tribulation.

In comparison, Jiang Che was slightly better than the Red Blood Demon Lord, but definitely not much better. When it came to lust, Jiang Che had to admit that he really could not be said to have a clear conscience.

On the contrary, along the way, he threatened the princess, forced the queen, killed countless people, and destroyed more doors than he could count on one hand. It can be imagined that his demonic fire disaster was definitely extraordinary.

The evil-repelling thunder heart bead is specifically designed to suppress desires.

It can be said that it is indispensable to use the thunder of the heart to shatter all desires.

In addition, there are the Jiuyou True Blood Tree and Tiangang Yangyuan Grass, as the names suggest.

These two spiritual objects, one is used to increase qi and blood and strengthen the body, and the other is used to increase magic power and replenish the original yang energy.

Among them, the Tiangang Yangyuan Grass is not too difficult to find. As long as you search carefully, with the channels of Beiling Qi family and the information of Heiya, it should not take too long to find it.

But this Nine Nether True Blood Tree made him a little unpredictable.

As for the reason, it is because this thing was not created by heaven and earth, but requires a lot of time and watering with essence and blood before it can grow successfully.

For some people in the magic world, this item is extremely precious.

Similarly, the tree heart of this thing is also one of the treasures for condensing the physical body. It is very important to the Red Blood Demon Lord. Ever since Jiang Che broke through to the grandmaster level, he has actually been helping the other party search for this thing.

However, no news has been received so far.

However, the final virtual divine flame made Jiang Che a little unpredictable.

Because this thing is one of the spiritual fires of heaven and earth, but the problem is that this thing can neither increase cultivation nor assist in overcoming tribulations, nor can it transform the physical body.

How could it appear in the sacrifice?

Jiang Che thought about it over and over again, but still couldn't figure out the key.

I plan to ask for advice from Red Blood Demon Lord and Zhao Xianzhi first.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Che walked out of the quiet room and prepared to start investigating clues about these sacrifices. These were related to the path of the Tao and had always been Jiang Che's most important goal.
