The years when I explored the fairyland.

Chapter 347: 344: Three years, great development

First, on the side of the sea clan, under the leadership of Xuanzhen Palace, the coastline was continuously raised, so that the sea water rolled back, forming huge waves, and directly destroyed the underwater dam they built.

It is no exaggeration to say that all the efforts were ruined in an instant.

But to say that they would give up would be to underestimate the resilience of the Sea Dragon Kingdom.

After the defeat in the war, the Sea Dragon Kingdom immediately sent a Dragon King here to take charge of the situation. As soon as he appeared, he immediately stabilized the situation.

Then, he still implemented the plan of the underwater dam, preparing to raise the water level and flood the land.

This plan is actually like the invasion of Zhou Juetian's ghost energy, and it cannot be changed.

But compared to the previous minor fights, this time, the methods used by the Dragon King of the South China Sea were more ruthless and grander.

He moved several sea eyes from the deep sea to here, raising the sea level almost permanently.

No matter how fast the land rises, it is only a change in the earth's structure, which is far less violent than the changes in the ocean.

In addition, he also started the selection, and those races that could only move in the ocean, such as fish without feet, were eliminated.

Instead, he gathered sea creatures and sea beasts such as shrimps, crabs, turtles, and geckos to the southern coastline.

Although the combat effectiveness of these sea creatures and sea beasts would be reduced when they came onto land, they were at least much better than big fish.

Of course, the biggest move of the Dragon King of the South China Sea was to form a land army belonging to the Sea Dragon Kingdom.

The world of the sea clan is full of water, and it is filled with endless oceans, but there are islands, and there are also remnants of human and demon races living and reproducing.

However, the sea people didn’t care about them in the past, just like lice on an elephant, they were simply ignored.

But this time, the Dragon King of the South China Sea gathered all the remaining human tribes and demon tribes together, gave them weapons, gave them organizations, and let them go ashore to fight with humans.

Because of the involvement of military forces, Dayan did not actually put much energy into dealing with the sea tribe, and always took the approach of clearing the countryside.

Although a lot of land was lost, the invasion of the sea tribe could not be accelerated. As long as the battle line was extended, many disadvantages would emerge.

But when this group of human tribes and demon tribes entered the territory, they caught Dayan off guard.

In other words, the war against Zhou Juetian slowed down, the three human kingdoms were freed up, and with the support of Xuanzhen Palace and the coordination of the Alliance of All Living Beings, the situation was stabilized.

However, the sea people did not remain complacent for long.

The main reason is that the human and demon races on the islands have a very low status in the Sea Dragon Kingdom. They do life-threatening work, but are bullied the worst.

Now that he had finally gained some military merit, it was snatched away and taken away by the sea tribe. The more victories he won, the more miserable his life became.

How can they truly risk their lives?

The Dragon King of the South China Sea did notice it, but although he was the king, he still needed the support of the sea creatures below, so he could only turn a blind eye.

Then, what he worried about happened.

The human race was naturally not stupid. After a few contacts, they saw through the details of these island humans and monsters and immediately sent out spies to deceive and instigate them to rebel.

It is not right to say that it is a beguilement, because the human race has really fulfilled its promise.

With the internal and external cooperation of this group of people, plus the troops mobilized by the Alliance of All Living Things, the sea clan was dealt another heavy blow.

This time, with the Dragon King of the South China Sea in charge, the defeat was not so tragic.

However, the sea clan land army they had accumulated was taken over by Dayan, so that all their previous efforts became useless.

In fact, through the two contacts and the two wars, it is not difficult to find that the living environments of humans and sea creatures, and of land dwellers and sea dwellers, are very different.

It is not easy for the human race to invade the sea race, and it is also difficult for the sea race to invade the human race!
However, just as the situation with the sea clan had calmed down, problems arose again with the demon clan.

The Tiger Vanguard's mountain monster kingdom had congenital defects, and it had originally retreated deep into the Tanggula Mountains and then disappeared.

On the Dayan side, of course, noticed the shortcomings of the Mountain King Demon Kingdom, which was that there were too few monsters and their strength was too weak.

Therefore, they also formulated a targeted elimination plan for this purpose.

That is to say, send immortal cultivators who are good at surviving in the wild and hiding, into the depths of the Tanggula Mountains, to explore the specific locations of those monster caves.

When necessary, they can eliminate them one by one and carry out targeted assassinations.

As long as more of these monsters die, even if the Shanjun Demon Kingdom has the method to drive spirit beasts, it can only watch helplessly.

Of course, this is a last resort.

Because everyone knows how much Tiger Vanguard treasures these monsters. If too many of them die, he will go crazy.

Originally, this could be considered a kind of balance!
But two years later, when Tiger Vanguard and the second king, Burning Sky Ape Wuhuo, returned from their long journey, things were different.

Because this time, there are hundreds of big monsters and tens of thousands of small monsters under the command of Tiger Vanguard.

At the beginning, no one knew where he got these demon soldiers and generals from, until someone in Dayan recognized Wuhuo, and then people began to guess.

This time, after returning with the demon army, Tiger Vanguard did not rush out of the mountain, but he dispersed all his troops.

With the original mountain demon kingdom as the core, it continued to expand outward and completely controlled the Tanggula Mountains.

At this moment, the Mountain King Demon Kingdom is no longer just a name, but a reality.

At this time, Dayan could no longer sit still.

The Great Yan court could tolerate the existence of a fake demon country, but it could never tolerate the emergence of a real country within a country.

What’s the difference between that and having a tumor in your body that keeps growing?
The result was that Dayan reported to the Alliance of All Living Beings, and then under the coordination of the Alliance of All Living Beings, it mobilized an army of immortal cultivators.

This time, the two sides fought in the depths of Tanggula Mountain. In terms of intensity, the battle was even three times more intense than the battle between humans and ghosts.

The reason is simple. In addition to commanding spirit beasts, the demon clan also used many fighting methods learned from the demon world.

Among them, the most powerful one is a special magic called: Infinite Laws.

This magic technique is actually similar to the magical powers of military strategists. It can connect the magic powers of many monsters, thereby activating a magical power, which greatly increases its power.

Of course, compared with the many changes and rich means of military magical powers, it is actually still far behind.

But the requirements for this magic are low. As long as the leading big monster knows how to use it, the other monsters just need to contribute a part of their power.

It was also because of the powerful magic that the human race suffered a great loss in the early stages.

However, the human race also came up with countermeasures.

Chariots are useless in the mountains, but after such a long period of development, humans have made great progress in refining equipment.

This time, the human race took out the first large-scale war weapon - the Sky-Punching Boat.

You have to admit that war is the best propellant for the development of the immortal way, and it also promotes the updating and iteration of magical instruments and treasures.

If you count carefully, it has only been a few years since the human race's inspiration burst forth and the immortal path spread. Even with the guidance of the Xuanzhen Palace, the road still has to be taken step by step.

However, Zhou Juetian's invasion accelerated this process several times or even dozens of times!
There is no way. If we don’t move fast, the whole clan might be wiped out and everyone might die. Who can bear that?

Theoretically speaking, the Sky-Surveying Ark is actually an ultra-large flying war weapon that is likely to appear only when the immortal civilization develops to a certain level.

Although it is a magic weapon, its size requires a lot of effort. Whether it is refining, designing, or assembling, it requires far more effort than that of a magic weapon.

The human race was actually able to create a magic boat to patrol the sky thanks to Feihong Palace, one of the nine palaces in the secret realm.

That place was actually the fun place of the Great Red Dragon Immortal, where he refined many semi-finished Sky Patrolling Magic Boats. Later, it was given to Hao Songqing by Chu Zhou, who was asked to study puppet Taoist soldiers.

However, with the outbreak of the war, Hao Songqing no longer had time to delve into the study of Taoist soldiers. Instead, he was inspired by those half-finished Sky Patrolling Magic Boats.

Therefore, with no shortage of information, he drew a number of weapon refiners from the Immortal Fire Palace to devote themselves to the research of war weapons. After several years, he finally achieved results.

The first Sky Patrolling Boat was named Feihong. It was about a thousand feet long and three hundred feet wide at its widest point. Its appearance was like a ship.

Due to insufficient technology, this Sky Patrol Magic Boat can only fly 500 feet high and its speed is not fast. At most, it can ride the wind, but the Sky Patrol Magic Boat is still the Sky Patrol Magic Boat.

It can carry tens of thousands of elite soldiers and immortal cultivators, can ignore most terrains, and has nearly twenty divine cannons and hundreds of divine crossbows installed on the left and right sides.

Moreover, in order to solve the security problem, Xuanzhen Palace equipped him with a mountain protection formation-level defense formation. It is no exaggeration to call it a 'moving mountain gate'.

The appearance of such a powerful weapon shocked even the Tiger Vanguard, and it directly suppressed the arrogance of the demon clan.

However, even though they have gained the upper hand, it would be wishful thinking to directly attack the Tiger King Demon Kingdom.

Of course, the human race is not idle either.

For example, one of the strategies of the All Living Beings Alliance is to constantly contact the barbarians in the ice and snow world through the barbarian tribe that came across the snow-covered area and provide various conveniences for their migration southward.

They provided them with transportation tools, food, and people, and even designated a larger area for them to survive and graze.

For the barbarians, even a place like the Golden Horde is a paradise on earth, and they are really not picky.

As more and more barbarian tribes moved south, the strength of the three human kingdoms was strengthened.

This may be the only external support for the three human kingdoms, except for the Rising Sun Plains.

A lot of things happened during these three years, and wars of all sizes never stopped. However, for the entire human race, it was a rare opportunity to recuperate.

There are more and more temples and shrines, and even ordinary villages will worship a land god.

Almost all the ghost disasters that plagued the human race were resolved, and the human race, which had settled down, also erupted in a terrifying "enthusiasm" under the pressure of endless wars.

The passion for learning, the passion for practicing martial arts, the passion for cultivating immortals, the passion for production...

After Xuanzhen Palace intervened and stabilized the situation, the All Living Beings Alliance finally had the energy to adjust its strategy.

War is still very important, and even needs to be dealt with at all times, but apart from war, they began to implement various policies and develop civilization.

For example, encouraging agriculture and sericulture, allocating farmland to those who have no land, and distributing food, seeds, farm tools and oxen.

Those who have constant property have constant perseverance. Only after these people have their own property can they burst out with great enthusiasm.

For example, assign disabled veterans to each village and town, and let them popularize the basics of martial arts and immortal cultivation to every village and every teenager.

Only when the base is large enough can we screen out enough talents.

The sects in each area even conduct qualification tests every year, striving to ensure that no one is missed.

Then there is the offering mechanism between sects, which is even fixed in the form of laws.

The lower-level sects contribute their most outstanding disciples to the upper-level sects so that those who are truly talented will not be buried.

Of course, every disciple who reaches a higher position will also provide adequate protection to the sect from which he or she comes.

This smooth upward channel ensures the flow of talent and provides an endless supply of sufficient and excellent talents to major sects and even Xuanzhen Palace.

We also encourage trade and exchange of what we have; encourage invention; open more mines and mine resources; build roads, repair cities, etc.

These have greatly promoted the overall progress of human civilization.

It was only three years, not a long time, but under the oppression of war, the changes it brought were even more than those in the previous decades.

And all of this is inseparable from a crucial person, Ji Mingqian!
This guy, being only the crown prince, should have had an awkward status, but who can blame him for having a strong backing!
Even if we don't mention Chu Zhou or Xu Cheng and the others, and only talk about the second-generation disciples of Xuanzhen Palace, those who were recruited around Baisha City, they were all those who grew up under his watch.

Several Jindan masters of the second generation had to behave themselves as juniors in front of him and give him enough face.

In addition, from Baisha City to Tianquan County, that prosperity was built up bit by bit in his hands, and he has accumulated enough experience.

And after he became the crown prince and had enough say and implemented all these, the effects were so extraordinary.

In the first year alone, the Dayun Dynasty was thriving. By the second and third years, both Dayan and the Golden Horde were imitating and learning from it.

With the All Beings Alliance, a force covering the three countries, acting as the central coordinator and sharing what they have, the human race's policies are relatively unified and actively implemented, and a number of capable officials have been trained.

In the past, the human race actually valued warriors more than talented administrators, and the social structure seemed very chaotic.

But now, with the emergence of Ji Mingqian, everyone has seen the value of these internal affairs talents.

Don’t think this is a big deal. In fact, the higher you stand, the more you can appreciate the benefits brought by the development of civilization and vitality.

As far as Xuanzhen Palace is concerned, the quality of disciples recruited, the resources that can be mobilized, the efficiency of production, the accumulation of spiritual materials on hand, etc. have all experienced explosive growth.

With sufficient wealth and the platform of Wanxian City, they can do more.

For example, the formation installed on the Sky Patrol Boat, Chu Zhou didn’t have the money to buy it before.

But now, Xu Cheng gritted his teeth and decided to buy it.

For example, there were only two Ruyi Gates when Chu Zhou was there, but now, there is one in Dayun Imperial Capital, one in the Golden Horde, one in Dayan, and even one in Baidi City and Donghuang City.

In this way, a total of seven Ruyi gates stood within the radiation range of Xuanzhen Palace, and the speed of material allocation and troop mobilization was much faster than before.

Nowadays, Xuanzhen Palace can really give an order and concentrate more than half of the human race’s military forces in one place within three days.

Just based on this, the war potential has increased to an exaggerated level.

Three years ago, the demon Daban said to wait and wait again, that was because he was not ready. He didn't care about the human race at all.

But three years later, seeing the human race far ahead, he dared not wait any longer.

Because he saw clearly that if he continued to wait like this, his allies would probably not dare to move.
