Gao Wu: You have science, and I have magic!

Chapter 242 Don't worry, I'm very afraid of death
Western Hunan, Wufeng Mountain.

A large number of construction teams are carrying out post-disaster reconstruction work here. The battle between the two powerful gods is no less severe than a natural disaster.

When Ye Qingzhou and Xu Yunxi arrived, what they saw was a doomsday scene.

Mountains collapsed, rivers changed their courses, every inch of land seemed to have been turned over by someone, all the grass and vegetation turned to ashes, the earth was charred and devastated, it was unbearable to look at.

"The battle to kill gods is really intense."

Ye Qingzhou looked at the destruction caused by the war and couldn't help but be amazed.

"The war between gods is so terrible. Fortunately, General Wang Yin acted decisively and ordered an evacuation. Otherwise, the entire Southwest Military Region would have suffered heavy casualties."

When Xu Yunxi thought back on it now, she still felt a little scared.

You know, the people stationed here in Wufeng Mountain at that time included her and her mother Xu Wanqing.

When war gods fight against each other, every move they make invokes the power of the Dao, so that even the aftermath of the attack often carries the impact of the Dao, which can shatter a person's body and even his soul.

Even someone as strong as a martial saint would be in danger of death if he was caught in the disaster, let alone a martial artist at the grandmaster or master level. It would be a sure death if he was just touched by the aftermath.

Therefore, Wang Yin's evacuation order was quite timely and successfully avoided unnecessary casualties.

Now, Xu Ri Shu has died in battle, and the high-level combat forces of the six tribes, namely, Xi Zhu, Man Man, Yu Bird, Er Shu, and Zhu Ru, have almost been killed or injured. This is the best opportunity for Dongji Kingdom to represent the human race to recover Jiuli Dongtian.

In the past, the Mao Clan established the Second Heavenly Palace and learned the technology of refining cave heavens from the Yu Clan. They built 365 cave heavens and arranged a large array of stars according to the number of complete Zhoutian.

It’s a pity that in the final battle, more than half of the caves were destroyed. It was Yin Huang Nuwa who refined stones to repair the sky, repaired the damaged sky, and filled the gap in the Zhoutian star array.

After that, the human race rose, and after the death of the emperors of all dynasties, their corpses were turned into caves to build shelters and preserve the civilization of the blue planet.

Jiuli Cave Heaven was formed from the corpse of the war emperor Chi You after the Battle of Zhuolu. It was originally a residence to shelter the Jiuli people, but was forcibly occupied by the hairy forces including the Xizhu, Manman, Yubird, Ear Mouse, Zhuru, and the Six Tribes led by Xu Rishu.

The Jiuli people who lost their homes were forced to leave, and some of their tribal members lived and multiplied between the Jianghuai, Jianghan and Dongting Lake, forming the Sanmiao tribal group.

Today, the Sanmiao people have long been integrated into the big family of the Dongji Kingdom, so the Dongji Kingdom officials can certainly recover the lost territory under the banner of "since ancient times".

A large amount of supplies were transported to Wufeng Mountain along roads and railways, and masters from the Martial Arts Association and the military were mobilized in full force.

The number of people participating in the battle this time exceeded 3,000, and the lowest among them were professional martial artists. Moreover, it was a rare group battle, and the scale of mobilization was quite astonishing.

"No one from a martial arts family?"

After looking around, Ye Qingzhou saw several familiar faces, such as Qi Shaoming, a civilian martial arts master who had once been stationed at Wufeng Mountain, and Li Yanwen, the 'Flame Spear' who was ranked among the world's "Top 500".

However, these martial arts masters all came from commoner backgrounds and grew up with official support.

However, not a single master-level expert from the martial arts family was seen.

There are quite a few professional martial artists like Xu Yunxi sent out by martial arts families, nearly one or two hundred people, probably just to gain experience.

Only those with combat power above the master level can participate in decision-making, which means dividing the cake.

There is no doubt that the authorities deliberately reserved the benefits for civilian martial artists in order to further support masters of civilian origin and to check and balance the power of martial arts families that are becoming increasingly powerful.

Xu Yunxi smiled and said, "Those of us who are close to the government are considered lucky. The stubborn Junshan Society can't even get any experience."

"By the way, who is leading the team this time? Zhao Zhiyi or Wang Yin?"

"neither."

"Ok?"

Ye Qingzhou was surprised: "Besides these two, who else has enough qualifications to overwhelm everyone?"

Xu Yunxi raised her eyebrows and deliberately kept it a secret: "Although the enemy's high-level combat power is almost completely wiped out, our Dongji country has always used leniency in predicting the enemy's strength, so the person in charge of leading the team this time is a strong man with the combat power of a martial saint, and he is also from my Hunan Province, and is very well-known, enough to convince everyone."

"I am becoming more and more curious, who is this person?"

"You actually know this person."

"I know?"

Just as Ye Qingzhou was thinking, a figure fell from the sky.

The person who came had a graceful figure and a friendly look. He was wearing a white research suit and was standing on a disc-shaped flying vehicle.

"Hey, Ye Qingzhou."

Gu Minghui raised his hand and greeted.

"Dr. Gu?"

Ye Qingzhou was really a little surprised this time, but then his mind turned and he immediately understood that the Martial Saint that Xu Yunxi had just mentioned should be the "bespectacled guy" in the white coat in front of him.

"Why, are you surprised?"

Gu Minghui habitually pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose with a warm smile on his lips.

He looks very young, and appears to be only a few years older than Ye Qingzhou. In fact, he is indeed young, but his strength is not weak at all.

"Dr. Gu, aren't you a researcher at the Tianji Research Institute?"

Ye Qingzhou couldn't understand why the military would agree to let a scientist in a white coat command the battle, given that it was just the Wushu Association.

Gu Minghui smiled and said, "Who says that people who do scientific research can't fight? I'm not a weak scholar. Moreover, this expedition to Jiuli Cave Heaven is very important, so the authorities asked me, the 'divine fortune teller', to be the commander-in-chief."

Among the several martial saints in Dongji Country, Gu Minghui’s strength is far from the strongest, but his deduction and calculation ability is ranked first together with the divine general Qinglong.

In addition, Gu Minghui himself has the combat power of a Martial Saint, so he can provide a backup for this expedition.

This time, the Dongji Kingdom is determined to obtain the ownership of Jiuli Cave Heaven.

Over the past few years, a beast tide has erupted in Jiuli Cave Heaven almost every ten years or so, causing great suffering to the entire southwest region.

At that time, Xu Ri Shu was still there, and the six tribes of Xi Zhu, Man Man, Yu Niao, Er Shu, and Zhu Ru also had powerful martial saints. Therefore, the Dongji Kingdom was unable to do anything about the remaining forces of these hairy tribes.

Now that Xu Ri Shu has been killed by Zhang Xinwu, the leaders of the six tribes have all been killed or injured, and the country has fallen into civil strife. For the Dongji Kingdom, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Taking over Jiuli Dongtian not only means that Dongji Kingdom will have one more place to produce rare treasures, but also means that the entire Xiangxi will become a safe rear base in the future, greatly reducing military pressure.

Because this is a major event involving the peace of the southwestern region of Dongji Kingdom in the next hundred years, in order to be fully prepared, Dongji Kingdom sent out a luxurious lineup.

The team was led by Gu Minghui, a powerful warrior with the fighting power of a martial saint, accompanied by seven grandmasters, more than fifty martial arts masters, and three thousand professional martial artists.

Such a lineup is enough to wipe out more than 90% of the countries on Blue Planet.

Gu Minghui looked at Ye Qingzhou for a few times, then showed a look of doubt: "You... have been promoted to a master?"

The hallmark feature of a master-level martial artist is that his qi penetrates heaven and earth, and his spiritual will connects him to the spiritual world. However, Ye Qingzhou's master-level skills are rather strange. He does not have a bridge between heaven and earth on his body. Instead, his qi and blood are extremely restrained, like a black hole that swallows everything.

"I just broke through, but the path I took is different from that of ordinary martial arts masters."

Ye Qingzhou had nothing to hide about his own situation. It would be revealed after he fought with other martial artists anyway.

So he told Gu Minghui that he had broken through to the master level by constructing the Heaven and Earth Furnace, and was embarking on a completely new path of martial arts.

When the latter learned of this, he was immediately overjoyed: "Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace? You actually bypassed the restrictions of the Heaven and Earth Bridge and found another way to climb the Heavenly Stairs?"

Whether in the cave or in the martial arts world of Blue Star, the master level is the key strength threshold.

On the road to becoming a god through martial arts that leads to the Twelve Levels of Heaven, the master level is the first step to the heavenly stage.

Today, Ye Qingzhou’s cultivation has reached the first level of heaven. Even in terms of combat power, he can probably sweep away ordinary martial arts masters.

Any master-level martial artist who has not mastered super-level martial arts would not be able to block even a single sword strike from him.

Gu Minghui was very excited.

The Dongji Kingdom had actually long been aware of the problem with the Bridge of Heaven and Earth, but was powerless to do anything about it.

Because it is impossible for Dongji Country to stop the development of martial arts. After all, there are other powerful countries on Blue Star. If you don’t develop, you will be beaten when others develop.

And now Ye Qingzhou has opened up a new path, an independent and original path without any technical risks. This is really important for the martial arts world of Dongji Country.

"Are you willing to disclose the cultivation method of the Heaven and Earth Furnace?"

Gu Minghui asked with a burning gaze.

Fearing that Ye Qingzhou would not agree, he also offered a lot of conditions: "As long as you are willing to disclose the cultivation method of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, I can make the decision and exchange it for a Heaven-level sword skill for you. At the same time, I can also upgrade your researcher level, and directly upgrade you from the current Red Level to the Blue Level."

The identity levels of the Tianji Research Institute are divided into seven levels: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple. The cyan level is equivalent to an expert professor in the field of scientific research.

These are not those self-proclaimed professors on the Internet, but senior talents who enjoy various welfare benefits and allowances. Often, only teachers with high-level teaching and scientific research results in colleges and universities can hold this position.

A doctoral degree is usually required, and the applicant is mainly responsible for teaching and scientific research on a daily basis, and has a high academic reputation and influence in a certain professional field.

Ordinary people will never reach such a position in their lifetime.

But for Ye Qingzhou now, it is within his reach.

After weighing the pros and cons in his mind, Ye Qingzhou nodded and agreed. He had originally planned to promote the Heaven and Earth Burning Furnace practice method in order to obtain a large amount of heavenly favor.

Now I can even get some benefits from the government, killing two birds with one stone, which is really great.

You would be a fool not to agree!

Afterwards, Ye Qingzhou sorted out the method and tricks of refining the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace and handed it to Gu Minghui.

The latter was overjoyed and carefully put away the information: "I have submitted the application for you regarding the Heavenly Rank Martial Arts. I believe that after this battle, the review process will be completed, and then we can settle the credit together."

After resting for several days in the temporary camp on Wufeng Mountain, the army set out at Gu Minghui's command.

Although there were only more than 3,000 frontline personnel participating in the war, the team responsible for logistics support had more than 20,000 people, which shows the importance the official attached to this combat mission.

In front of the Jiuli Cave Heaven, Gu Minghui's eyes flashed with strange light. He used his unique skills of divination and quickly found the weak point of the cave heaven barrier.

Then, a ray of white light from the sky shone on Gu Minghui's body, and powerful thought energy was continuously injected into him. Tiny nanoworms flowed out from the flying device under his feet, wrapping around his whole body, forming a set of strange armor with white and blue as the main colors.

At the same time, the system prompt sounded in his mind.

"The Tianji system is starting up..."

"Prism module charging completed..."

"Spatial structure analysis completed..."

"The transformation of the Yuanling battle armor to Kun form is complete..."

Hundreds of white scaly crystals surrounded Gu Minghui. They combined into a focusing matrix, emitting hundreds of "beams of light", which actually directly penetrated the space barrier of Jiuli Cave Heaven.

This move successfully solved the problem of transporting personnel and supplies for thousands of troops. After all, if they only relied on the teleportation array, how long would it take to complete the transportation?
"set off!"

Gu Minghui took the lead and entered the Jiuli Cave Heaven.

"Human Race!"

"Enemy attack!"

Behind the entrance to Jiuli Cave Heaven, there is a group of guards from the Leopard Sniper tribe stationed there. They have rat heads and wolf bodies, and when they see the enemy attack, they begin to make shrill pig-like squeals towards the sky.

One of the snipers, which possessed a master-level life force, bared its teeth at Gu Minghui and said, "Humans, how dare you break through the barrier and step into our territory!"

"What do you mean by your clan's territory? Jiuli Cave Heaven has been the land of our Dongji country since ancient times. Although Dongji is big, not an inch of land is redundant!"

Gu Minghui just locked his eyes, and then shot out thousands of scorching sun beams, instantly killing the master-level sniper in front of him.

The Tianji Research Institute has long mastered the technology to disturb space and open the cave barrier. In fact, this technology is not complicated. As long as the true spirit inside the cave does not resist instinctively, it is very easy to force the door open from the outside.

The Jiuli Cave Heaven was left by the War Emperor Chi You, so it would not reject the bloodline of the Dongji Kingdom and could open the door at will. The reason why it was not done in the past was that it would not be able to defeat the Xu Ri Rat even if the door was opened.

Now that Xu Ri Shu is gone, Gu Minghui will naturally lead his team here to sweep the land and decide the outcome in one battle.

After breaking through the gate, the large force immediately moved in. Under the command of Gu Minghui, they began to clear the threats in an orderly manner, establish positions, and consolidate the defense line.

A large amount of supplies were continuously imported, and a heavily defended military base sprang up from the ground. It grew rapidly as if it were inflated, providing a stable rear base for everyone.

The next battle will be led by the Grandmaster, accompanied by the Master, each leading professional martial artists to carry out harassment operations against the enemy.

The six tribes, namely, Xizhu, Manman, Yuniao, Ershu and Zhuru, occupied various territories and were scattered everywhere in Jiuli Cave Heaven. They were unable to gather their forces in the first time, so they suffered heavy losses in the first round of attacks.

After using a small force to harass the enemy and lure out the master warriors among them, Gu Minghui personally attacked, eliminated the enemy by decapitation, and then sent out a large army to break through the enemy's base camp which had already been leaderless.

Soon, the two tribes of Huzhu and Manman were wiped out, some died and some surrendered.

The remaining birds, ear mice, snipers and the six tribes finally reacted and quickly gathered their main forces to retreat to the Hundred Battles Emperor Cave, trying to put up a last-ditch effort.

Boom boom boom~
In front of the Hundred Battles Emperor's Cave, thousands of artillery fire were fired, and the corpses of the warriors of the four tribes, Yu Niao, Er Shu, and Zhu Ru, were scattered all over the ground, and the wailing and screaming were endless.

Under Gu Minghui's personal pressure, the remaining enemies could only rely on the special environment of the Hundred Battles Emperor's Cave to survive and dared not show up at all.

The three thousand professional martial artists of Dongji Country are all warriors trained by the army. They are all equipped with mass-produced Yuanling battle armor, and each of them can briefly burst out the combat power of a half-step master.

In normal form, it is equivalent to a strong man above the seventh level of professional level, and can also fight in formation.

In contrast, the warriors of the four tribes, namely, the Yu Niao, the Er Shu, and the Zhu Ru, can only rely on their wild instincts to fight. When their numbers are small, they can barely fight the warriors of the Dongji Kingdom on equal terms.

But in this large-scale military conflict that requires teamwork, they can only be slaughtered.

After Wang Yin led his team to wipe out the remaining enemy troops outside, he returned to report to Gu Minghui: "The last organized enemy force outside the Emperor's Cave has also been annihilated."

Zhao Zhiyi, who had also experienced a great battle, had just returned, and even the blood sacrifice on his clothes was not yet dry: "The remaining enemy troops still refuse to surrender?"

"Then we will attack the Hundred Battles Emperor Cave and completely resolve all hidden dangers."

Gu Minghui gave the order in a cold voice. He would not be soft-hearted when dealing with this group of stubborn Mao diehards.

Afterwards, a spearhead force was quickly formed, and Gu Minghui personally led the team to attack the Hundred Battles Emperor Cave. Ye Qingzhou was also very curious about the inheritance left by Chi You, so he also joined the attacking team and entered together.

Before leaving, Xu Yunxi specifically reminded Ye Qingzhou: "Don't be too arrogant, and put your own safety first."

"Don't worry, I'm very scared of dying."

Ye Qingzhou nodded, and followed Gu Minghui into the Hundred Battles Emperor Cave.

The Emperor's Cave was extremely deep, like a gigantic maze. Ye Qingzhou followed everyone through the dark tunnel and entered the depths of the Emperor's Cave.

This place looks like a super large Colosseum.

Gu Minghui explained to Ye Qingzhou, "The Hundred Battles Emperor Cave is the spiritual thought of the War Emperor after his death. According to the ancient documents that have been discovered, in ancient times, the emperors were responsible for the great Dao, controlled the universe, and had the power to refine the void into reality."

Ye Qingzhou thought of the five-colored magic stone he had obtained. It was probably refined using a similar method. Such a method of creating something out of thin air was truly incredible.

But because of this, even though the War Emperor Chi You has been dead for thousands of years, it is still very dangerous.

Even Xu Rishu, the veteran war god, suffered fatal injuries here.
