Sea Cultivation: Giant Ships and Heavy Artillery Knock on the Door to All Races

Chapter 170: Premonition of the Millennium Wave, War Mobilization

After reading the list, everyone was a little surprised.

There are too many good things on the list, including many third-level resources. Obviously, the standards of this auction are very high, and it is aimed at the high-quality spirit stones in the storage rings of the Jindan monks in the Western Regions.

"We will definitely participate then!"

"I'm going to come! I'm going to come!"

Everyone agreed without any dissent, and no one wanted to show any lack of cooperation to the other party.

Because everyone understands that this should be the final preparation made by Yunshang League for Wu Daoyi. Anyone who doesn't go will remember Wu Daoyi. After all, even some important strategic resources have to be sold, and it is almost a desperate move.

"The Yunshang Alliance awaits the arrival of all of you fellow Daoists! I have something else to attend to, so I'll excuse myself first! See you later!"

"See you!"

The third-level auction was notified in person by a Jindan cultivator a month in advance. It seems that the Yunshang Alliance is very concerned about it, and the invitees are also considering how much money to bring next time.

Even if Wu Daoyi fails, the Yunshang League will still be a powerful Jindan force. If Wu Daoyi succeeds by chance, then the weak forces now may not be in a good situation.

...

open sea,

All sea areas outside the human defense line and not legally occupied by humans can be collectively referred to as open seas.

In fact, if we take the radiation range of the Thousand Star City as an example,

The North Region, Northeast Region, East Region, and Southeast Region are the outer seas of the Thousand Star City, and the sea areas beyond these four regions are generally called the open sea.

The outer sea of Thousand Star City originally belonged to the demon race, but in fact most of its land spiritual vein islands were occupied by humans.

The two sides often fight for these resources, and even humans themselves will fight each other to seize resource fields, because whoever grabs it here owns it. Only the more mysterious and dangerous distant seas rarely have humans set foot in.

Why has such a chaotic situation arisen?

Because the ancestors of the Storm Foreigners were all pioneer monks, all of them were born with aggression, never satisfied with the status quo, and always longing for a better habitat. Moreover, the highest basis for the division of the Storm Foreigners' territory was also military merit against foreign races.
Therefore, with the tacit approval of the Thousand Star City, the low-level "pioneers" of the human race will continue to establish forces outside the defense line and struggle to survive.

Even though there have been successive waves of low-level pioneering monks heading to the outer seas in search of opportunities, there has always been a continuous stream of them. After all, there are always a few lucky ones who can rise against the trend, settle in the Thousand Star City, or even be granted a piece of territory in the inner sea that can be permanently inherited.

The already rich and underdeveloped outer sea is like an alluring fragrance, always attracting adventurers who want to stand out.

Outer Sea, Northern Territory,
A remarkable child was recently born on an inconspicuous little island called Kongmingyu.

He was born healthy and strong, without crying or making a fuss, with wisdom in his eyes. More importantly, he was surrounded by spiritual energy and his spiritual roots were evident, which was the hallmark of a child with natural spiritual roots.

A natural spiritual root is a perfect spiritual root with a single five-element attribute. They are the lucky ones favored by God. If they follow the path of cultivation of the corresponding attribute, they will be assisted by God. If they do not deliberately suppress the progress of cultivation, they may be able to try to reach the Nascent Soul stage in less than a hundred years.

Although everyone is equal before the Nascent Soul Tribulation, the path of cultivation before the Nascent Soul is not equal for everyone.
Practitioners with natural spiritual roots can easily break through the barriers without consuming any resources. Their cultivation efficiency is high, and breaking through the barriers is as easy as eating and drinking water. As long as a cultivator with natural spiritual roots does not die prematurely, he can try to form a baby.

This child named "Kongming" was secretly sent to the Thousand Star City by his family elders as soon as he was born. He found the strongest Yuanying Zhenjun in their knowledge and understanding, Xinghuan Zhenjun, who was in the middle Yuanying stage, and became his disciple.

"Congratulations, Xinghuan, you've found a great bargain!"

"The master only leads you to the door, but it's up to you to practice. He still has a long way to go. I'm just pointing the way."

After reaching the Nascent Soul stage, talent is no longer so important. The natural spiritual roots only make you one step ahead in everything. However, cultivation is a lifelong race. After the Golden Core stage, there is the Nascent Soul, and after the Nascent Soul, there is the God Transformation. However, there are a lot of people with natural spiritual roots and Nascent Souls who are mediocre.

"Heh~ If you keep pretending, just let me be your disciple. The child is still young anyway, so it doesn't matter who becomes his master."

"Get lost! You wish!"

"Speaking of which, how many Heavenly Spiritual Roots have been created in the past hundred years?"

"According to the latest accurate statistics from Storm City, Kongming is the ninth person to have a Heavenly Spiritual Root in the thirty-six cities of the human race in the past twenty years."

"The ninth? Only twenty years?"

"Exactly! In addition, according to incomplete statistics, there are more than a thousand different spiritual roots."

Several Nascent Souls who had just come out of long-term retreat fell silent upon hearing this.

A genius cannot be born just because you want to. It is related not only to the fortune of the race he is born into, but also to the rules of the world here.

Only when the way of heaven is prosperous can more seedlings with better talents be born.

But the problem is that the Storm Ocean essentially belongs to the territory of the demon clan. Two-thirds of the territory of the Storm Ocean is occupied by the demon clan, and they should have a greater influence on the laws of the Storm Ocean.

The human race has already produced thousands of geniuses in just twenty years. How many more demons with exceptional bloodlines will emerge in the demon race? The actual figures are likely exaggerated. Over the next thousand years, the Storm Ocean will be a time of rising heroes. Calling it a time of great contention wouldn't be an exaggeration!
"The Way of Heaven is generous, and the spiritual charm is revealed, surpassing the previous records. It seems that a new round of millennium tide has silently begun, and it may even be more intense than the previous ones. We should prepare for battle in earnest."

The timing of the Millennium Tide is not fixed, occurring approximately once every thousand years, with an error of one or two hundred years.

The meaning of the Millennium Wave does not only refer to the tide of monsters that has been impacting the human defense line for a thousand years, but also refers to the fact that the way of heaven has given birth to a huge amount of resources for living beings to compete for, completing a new round of survival of the fittest.

This is not just a simple struggle for resources and paths, but also a struggle for racial survival. It is a reshuffle of the entire Storm Ocean. Small tribes may be completely exterminated in this wave!
[Prepare for battle!]

[Prepare to face the onslaught of the fourth-order demon beasts! ]

The will of the Thousand Star City began to be officially transmitted from top to bottom, to every force in the city, to every Jindan force in the eight regions, and to the other twenty-seven fourth-level immortal city fortresses within the defense line.

The news came suddenly, but the reactions of different forces were very different.

Forces with a long history have relevant records or their own internal reasoning and predictions, and have their own judgments about the Millennium Wave. They do not have to wait until the official notice arrives before starting to prepare, but have already made preparations.

Some emerging forces, those that are seriously lacking in relevant inheritance, may not even understand what the Millennium Wave is. After all, the time interval between each occurrence is too long, so long that most Nascent Soul cultivators have not experienced the impact of the previous wave.

Yanglong Bay,
The small fleet that had just finished the Golden Elixir Ceremony and was preparing to go to Yunshang Secret Island to hunt the Red Giant Scale and try its luck at the auction was stopped by the family.

"Millennium Tide? How come it's so fast? It's only been less than nine hundred years since the last one ended?"

Lin Qianfan was well-read, so he naturally knew about the Millennium Wave, but his understanding was only superficial.

This kind of disaster that covers the entire Storm Ocean for several years or even decades is simply not something he can understand. Even some Nascent Soul cultivators may not understand the core of it.

"That's normal. The time of an explosion isn't fixed. Whether God is happy or angry, we have to cater to Him. Otherwise, even the most powerful forces will be wiped out. There's no such thing as going against the will of Heaven."

"So, it's not that my Lin family really has an ice spirit root, but rather that the wave spirit aura has luckily descended upon my Lin family?"

"It's essentially the same. The luck of the Yulong Lin family's land is enough to carry this spiritual charm, which is why the ice spiritual roots appear."

"What a pity! Why can't it be me? I missed it!"

"You're dreaming! However, with your spirituality, you might be able to catch up with Lin Qianxue in the future."

"Catch up? Am I not ahead of her? I have established my foundation!"

"She's established her foundation! When she was building her foundation, she absorbed the entire 100-zhang spiritual energy storm and successfully advanced to the second level of foundation building. Logically speaking, she's now ahead of you."

“…Comparing yourself to others will only make you angry.”

With Lin Qianxue's conditions, she could have established her foundation at the earliest when she was fifteen or sixteen years old. The reason she had to wait until her early twenties was to complete it.

The absorption ability of the Ice Spirit Root far exceeds Lin Qianfan's three spirit roots. It is not surprising that it can catch up with Lin Qianfan in one breath. From now on, it will be Lin Qianfan's turn to chase Lin Qianxue.

The ten-year gap was made up in one day, which was so bittersweet.

The order to prepare for war is followed by the conscription order!
When the Millennium Tide reaches its climax, a wave of demon beasts will attack the defense line, and the Thousand Star City will recruit a large number of people to defend it.

This kind of bloody battle defense that was like a grinding wheel of flesh and blood could be called defense, but it could also be called training, refining Gu, exchanging seeds, consumption, cleansing...

That is the real bloody cruelty!
However, the Lin family's conscription sequence is very low, second only to the Jindan independent cultivators who have no place to stay, so they are very confident in this regard and have nothing to fear.

Because the land of the Lin family's Yulong Islands was exchanged by their ancestors through formal channels with blood and military merits, the Lin family will not go to the front line unless the Thousand Star City is in a critical moment of life and death.

However, the Lin family is also actively preparing for war. After all, it is unclear which will come first, tomorrow or an accident. Only forces that are ready for war at any time will not be afraid of the arrival of war.

The Lin family treasury was opened wide.

The Lin family used the vast amount of spirit stones that had been accumulated over the years and had been gathering dust to purchase resources of all categories, fully mobilizing the production enthusiasm of the entire Yulong Islands, so that everyone had something to do;
The various materials collected are classified into different categories. War materials are directly stored in the warehouse. Other types of resources are integrated and redistributed, and then refined into various war materials for further storage. The surplus is exchanged with other forces for materials.
Then the Lin family took out a large amount of realm-breaking resources to recycle the inflated spirit stones on the market. The majority of them were first-level realm-breaking pills, and even some foundation-building pills and second-level realm-breaking pills were released. Now the Lin family can allow more foundation-building cultivators to exist under their command;
The entire Yulong Islands, including the Lin family's affiliated areas,
Regardless of whether they are newly promoted foundation-building cultivators, independent cultivators residing here, or even a small number of foundation-building forces with independent territories, from now on they must completely submit to the Lin family and obey orders until the wave ends. Otherwise, they will be directly expelled or destroyed.
Inside the Lin family,

From the enlightened monks to the elderly monks, every member of the clan had to take time to participate in additional ideological education, strengthen the concept of various family supremacy, and practice various combat skills.

The foundation-building elders also each have their own duties. For example, the fifth elder, a second-level alchemist, is fully scheduled with alchemy tasks every day, and the ninth elder, as a shipbuilder, is filled with shipbuilding tasks. The other elders have to be busy with both their part-time jobs and their main jobs.

All the monster hunting missions have been stopped. All the captains without any special skills are asked to work on ships. Now, the exchanges between the Jindan forces are not enough to rely on the most efficient third-level ships to run errands.

Even Lin Qianfan's free time for daily practice was assigned tasks: fully assist the Ninth Elder in speeding up the shipbuilding process and strive to replace all the old second-level spirit ships in Yanglong Bay.

As for the eliminated second-level spirit ships, some were kept to arrange more captains to prepare for battle at critical moments, and some were sold to the foundation-building forces under their command to enhance their comprehensive strength and maneuverability.

Because the Lin family is not among the priority recruitments, they can focus on improving themselves, while those forces in the first and second recruitment sequences will be in a miserable situation.
