Dragon Devouring Cultivation

Chapter 291: War (Golden Snake Brings Good Luck, Good Fortune Every Year!)
Li Zhen did not leave the mission hall. He did not need to inquire about the situation outside because Master Ming was there.

Even though Master Ming's strength is not that great, when it comes to making friends, Li Zhen can't even catch up with him.

This unknown immortal made friends with the direct descendants of the Foundation Establishment Disciple of the Holy Water Palace. Even though he was only a Foundation Establishment Disciple, due to his direct lineage, the information he could access was no less than that of the Golden Core Immortal of the Holy Water Palace.

Li Zhen could hear the latest news from Master Ming every day. Since the Holy Water Palace went to war, not only the Jindan Masters, but also the foundation-building disciples participated in the war.

The foundation-building disciples from the Holy Water Palace, when their number reaches a certain level and they cooperate with the battle formation, can fully exert the combat power of the Golden Core level and have a miraculous effect on the battlefield.

During the first ten days, good news continued to come from the Holy Water Palace, with victories achieved every day.

But ten days later, the Holy Water Palace began to suffer heavy casualties.

A month passed, and the direct foundation-building disciple who was acquainted with Master Ming died in battle. Master Ming wanted to make friends with new disciples of the Holy Water Palace but was no longer able to do so.

Because all the disciples in the Holy Water Palace were in a panic, the foundation-building disciples found that their fellow disciples were decreasing in number, and even their Jindan uncles were the same. How could they have the mind to care about outsiders like Master Ming?

The thirty Jindan Zhenren in the mission hall were also in a bad mood.

They were originally waiting to be sent out of the Holy Lake, but after a month, the Holy Water Palace seemed to have forgotten them.

Especially after hearing that the battle at the Holy Water Palace was going badly, they were worried that they would be sent to the battlefield again.

Perhaps in the entire hall, Li Zhen was the only one who was as steady as a rock.

On this day, Li Zhen was practicing the 'Spiritual Secret Swordsmanship', but he sensed that his identity bracelet had received a message.

This is the holy lake of the ancient cultivation world. Theoretically, the identity bracelet cannot receive any messages.

There is only one possibility for the identity bracelet to receive the message, that is, the fairyland has established a signal relay station in the Holy Lake.

This means that the Fairyland has established itself in the Holy Lake. Unlike before when it had no base, once consumption is too great and supplies are insufficient, it will have to return to the Fairyland through the space channel.

The signal relay station also has an important function, which is to facilitate communication among all the immortal monks who enter the Holy Lake.

Li Zhen checked the message on his identity bracelet and found that it was a notification that in three days Zhenjun Wen Chun would lead all the pioneering monks to attack the gate of the Holy Water Palace.

The reason why the Immortal Kingdom found the gate of the Holy Water Palace so easily was thanks to Li Zhen’s help.

Li Zhen gave away his ID card at that time. After cracking the secret of the ID card, the Immortal Kingdom also discovered the range of the scanning formation, and analyzed the location of the Holy Water Palace's mountain gate based on the scanning formation.

What Li Zhen was more concerned about was that Master Wen Chun had come to the ancient cultivation world.

A Yuanying Zhenjun entered the Holy Lake, which indicated the escalation of the war between the two worlds, from the initial test to the Yuanying level war.

The Holy Water Palace has not yet realized how terrifying the enemy it faces is. They may think that the foreign monks who enter the Holy Lake are from a sect like the Holy Water Palace.

In fact, if it weren't for the high cost of opening the Nascent Soul level space channel, the Immortal Kingdom would be able to flatten the Holy Lake with just the number of Nascent Soul True Lords.

Three days passed quickly, and Li Zhen watched the time for the general attack approaching little by little.

A shrill scream was heard; it was the alarm from the Holy Water Palace.

"You will fight with me. Those who perform well in this war can enter the Holy Water Palace!" Master Lu Jin announced loudly as he entered the mission hall.

Li Zhen sensed that his breathing was unstable. It seemed that he was injured, but he was suppressing it forcefully.

The Jindan Zhenren present were hit by the pie drawn by Zhenren Lu Jin, and they all showed expressions of surprise.

The disciples of the top sects, even if they are already Jindan Zhenren, are also very tempted.

As long as you join the Holy Water Palace, you can obtain the cultivation resources for the Golden Core Realm, and even have the hope of reaching the Nascent Soul Realm.

Master Ming came to Li Zhen and gave him a questioning look.

The pie that Master Lu Jin had drawn was indeed very tempting, but Master Ming had some understanding of the situation in the outside world. His mind was very clear and he knew the dangers of going into battle.

Li Zhen nodded slightly. How could he retreat at this time? If he did not advance and retreat together with the Holy Water Palace, the Holy Water Palace might kill him directly.

"You don't have to fight the enemy for now. You can enter the formation node assigned to you with your identity card. Your task is to stabilize the energy of the formation node!" Master Lu Jin said as he cast a few spells. Li Zhen took out the identity card, probed into it with his divine sense, and discovered a new function.

There are twelve more formation node marks on the map, and you can use your divine sense to select a formation node.

He chose a formation node that was relatively close to the core area and told Master Ming his choice. Master Ming also chose the same formation node.

Li Zhen and Ming Zhenren made their choices the fastest, while it would take some time for other Jindan Zhenren to contact and discuss with each other.

"Once you have made your choice, go ahead and don't waste time!" Master Lu Jin glanced at Master Li Zhen and Master Ming and instructed.

Li Zhen and Master Ming came out of the mission hall and were immediately shocked by the scene before them.

Originally, the Holy Water Palace was underwater, but now the water around it has disappeared, and the entire Holy Water Palace seems to be on land.

Outside the protective shield covering the Holy Water Palace, strange steel machines surrounded the Holy Water Palace, and in front of the steel machines was a monk.

Li Zhen recognized the steel machine. He had never seen the real thing, but had only read relevant information when he was studying in college.

This is a pioneer-class war machine, a war-class weapon that combines science and refining.

"Boom boom boom!" Rune shells shot out from the pioneer-class war machines.

This is not an ordinary rune shell, but a rune shell of the third level.

Just one round of attack lasted only a few moments, and more than two hundred third-level rune shells were consumed. This consumption was enough to bankrupt a force.

You should know that the materials used for the third-level rune shells are of the highest level of the third level, and there is no cheap one once it reaches the third level.

The monks standing in the void just watched the pioneering war machines show their power, with no intention of taking immediate action.

For this kind of war attacking the top sects, the Immortal Kingdom has a complete contingency plan, and it is impossible to fill it with human lives.

Aren’t the spirit stones and high-level materials that the Immortal Kingdom saves by living frugally on a daily basis meant to be used at times like this?

The benefits gained from capturing the mountain gate of a top sect will be many times greater than the war resources consumed, not to mention occupying an area of ​​resource production.

"Don't just stand there!" Master Lu Jin shouted.

Li Zhen and Ming Zhenren came to their senses and quickly went towards the node of the formation.

Arriving outside the formation node, he opened the entrance with the help of his ID card.

As soon as he entered, Li Zhen saw hundreds of Qi-cultivating monks and dozens of foundation-building monks. They all looked pale, but they were still continuously inputting spiritual power into the formation.

The attack launched by the pioneer-class war machine was blocked by the sect protection formation, which consumed the spiritual energy provided by the fourth-level spiritual vein.

However, the attacks from outside were too intense, causing the sect protection formation to consume too much energy, exceeding the supply of spiritual energy from the fourth-level spirit vein. This required the use of the spiritual energy accumulated in normal times.

However, if the spiritual energy accumulated in normal times is consumed, and if the fourth-level spiritual vein is unable to supply spiritual energy in time, the defense of the sect protection formation will be greatly reduced, and the consequences will be disastrous.

The spiritual power input by the cultivators can be used as energy to supplement the sect protection formation. In addition, the most critical thing is that when the sect protection formation is attacked, the internal energy will become unbalanced, and it needs to be adjusted by the nodes of the formation. There also needs to be cultivators stationed in the formation nodes.

The task of Li Zhen and Ming Zhenren is to adjust the balance of the formation nodes and input spiritual power when necessary.

This task seems simple, but it is actually quite dangerous.

When adjusting the nodes of the formation, the cultivator needs to connect his spiritual thoughts with the nodes of the formation. Once the sect protection formation is broken, the cultivator whose spiritual thoughts are connected to the nodes of the formation will suffer serious backlash.

"City Lord, I will be responsible for connecting the nodes of the formation!" Master Ming gritted his teeth and took the initiative to propose.

He thought very clearly that even if he suffered backlash, he would have a chance to survive with Li Zhen around.

But if Li Zhen suffered backlash, then both of them would have no hope. Being connected to the nodes of the formation, Li Zhen's strong combat power could not be brought into play.
