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

Chapter 233: Tianjian Zhenjun, facing Lin Qianxue
City of a Thousand Stars,

After traveling all over the place, Lord Tianjian finally returned.

With the mobility of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he can already travel freely among the thirty-six fourth-level immortal cities in the entire Storm Ocean.

In an era when powerful gods rarely come out, those at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage are the strongest and can go to other immortal cultivation worlds at will. Wherever they go, they are treated as guests of honor and no one dares to make things difficult for them.

However, the word "Spirit Transformation" is of great weight and it is not so easy to reach it. It is almost impossible without someone pulling from above.

Therefore, every time Tianjian Zhenjun traveled, he could only gain knowledge and make up for his shortcomings, but he was never able to find the true path to becoming a god.

"Is this the Nascent Soul cultivator training plan you've drawn up? Are you planning to turn Thousand Star City into your family fortune? If things continue like this, how many different sects will there be in Thousand Star City thousands of years from now? They'll all belong to your family!"

True Lord Tianjian was not angry because of the death of five Nascent Soul cultivators. He was already accustomed to life and death. Instead, he was disgusted by this training plan that would only make the upper class of Thousand Star City more rigid.

The dozen or so Nascent Soul cultivators in Thousand Star City are naturally not all as lonely as Wu Daoyi. On the contrary, most of them have intricate connections with each other.

Most of the Nascent Soul cultivators are connected together by relationships such as master and apprentice, teacher and student, fellow disciples, classmates, Taoist partners, and relatives. They naturally have the same stance and naturally reject people like Wu Daoyi who climbed up from the bottom on their own.

If it weren't for the fact that Tianjian Zhenjun was also alone and had been balancing certain relationships, the path to Nascent Soul advancement in Thousand Star City would probably be even more blocked and the classes would be even more rigid.

When questioned by True Lord Tianjian, no one dared to refute. The peak of the Nascent Soul stage is invincible, an invincibility that ignores numbers, and strength is the right to speak. True Lord Tianjian has absolute right to speak in the City of Thousand Stars.

"The situation outside is not optimistic right now. The frontier has been severely hit and we are in urgent need of Yuanying manpower."

"The human race's top leadership is even more divided into numerous factions, with constant internal strife and internal friction. It's not ruled out that the Storm Ocean will face even greater pressure in the future."

"Whether our Storm Ocean can maintain its current situation depends on the attitude of the Storm Lord, but his attitude towards the Demonic Horn Region is ambiguous. If he sits back and watches the Demonic Horn Region continue to grow, there might be a future..."

"Therefore, the Thousand Star City needs to expand and grow rapidly. We must at least have the strength to independently contend with the Demonic Horn Region. Otherwise, we may be replaced by it one day."

Tianjian Zhenjun is a loner and does not belong to any faction. He has his own school, so naturally he does not need to protect them deliberately. He does not care whether the new Nascent Soul cultivators are from grassroots backgrounds or disciples of wealthy families.

What he wanted was to increase the number of Nascent Soul cultivators in the Thousand Star City to help him guard this rear area so that he could leave with peace of mind.

No one else could refute his will. The gap between the peak Nascent Soul cultivator and the ordinary Nascent Soul cultivator was too big, and the opinions of others were not important. Even True Lord Bai Ye remained silent.

Finally, under the guidance of the will of the Heavenly Sword Master, the revised [Nascent Soul Cultivation Plan] is as follows:

The first is that all Jindan cultivators with clean backgrounds, appropriate age and a hint of Nascent Soul potential within the Thousand Star City can go to the Thousand Star City for further training. A Nascent Soul cultivator will personally preach to them and explain in detail how to go from Jindan to Nascent Soul.

This is a kind of support in terms of inheritance. Although the cost is low, it is very useful for ordinary Jindan forces. At least it can increase their chances of forming a baby. Even if it is just a slight possibility, it is very important. As for other support, it is not stated clearly and depends on the situation.

Among them, the word "innocence" is the most important. No matter how talented a person is, it will be useless if he is not innocent. There are enough lessons from past cases.

Article 2: All the Jindan seeds with clean origins, appropriate age, good talent and foundation within the Thousand Star City can be recommended by the military merit Jindan forces to study in the Thousand Star City once. They will also be given lectures by Yuanying cultivators, who will explain in detail how to go from foundation building to Jindan, and from Jindan to Yuanying.

When it comes to the inheritance of how to form a fetus, especially the details, the general Jindan forces really don't have it. Even if they do, it is often not complete, unless their ancestors really had a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The Yuanying True Lords of the Thousand Star City came forward to share their experiences. This was the most valuable first-hand inheritance. If no one succeeded, the Yuanying cultivators would not suffer any loss. If someone succeeded, it would be considered a favor to their disciples.

In fact, many people who explore the path of Golden Elixir in an unconventional way have already gone astray and it is difficult for them to continue. The Foundation Establishment Period is the golden period. They have just laid a solid foundation and the future path has not yet been solidified. They have strong plasticity, and the probability of them reaching the Nascent Soul stage in the future is actually higher.

Therefore, greater efforts will be made to train this group, but they need to bring their own food. The Thousand Star City will open some trial sites for them that are used by the Nascent Soul forces to help them improve their foundation.

Article 3: People from the lower classes within the Thousand Star City, non-military Jindan forces, and those who come from outside the Thousand Star City can sign up to participate in the [Hemolysis Tower] trial to pick up the pearls of the vast ocean.

The Hemolysis Tower is a magical spiritual weapon in the history of the development of the Thousand Star City. It is usually not activated on weekdays. It will only be opened when the Thousand Star City enters a period of weakness and needs to accelerate the cultivation of strong people. It can let people in to fight and forge strong people through the hemolysis method.

The above paragraph is a high-sounding excuse.

The real situation is "using people to make Gu", and the rules are simple and crude. Among ten thousand people, a thousand are taken to enter the tower, and a thousand are saved and a hundred are reborn after blood dissolution!

The loser dies! The winner takes everything!
Those who meet the first and second requirements have their ancestors have already proved their bravery and loyalty on the bloody front, so they are directly exempted from inspection. Those who meet the third requirement have no ancestors to protect them and can only prove their truth by killing.

"I've finished speaking. Any opinions? Who agrees and who disagrees?"

Although Tianjian Zhenjun is only a thousand years old, his hair is already completely white, and the silver threads are solemn.

Because his Nascent Soul aura was completely restrained to the extreme, he looked more like a tall old mortal general. However, even the majesty of a mortal general could suffocate others.

"agree!"

"agree!"

"..."

It was passed unanimously with no objections.

Although the new training plan has weakened the advantages of the Yuanying forces, they already have all the first-mover advantages. If their younger disciples are still unable to compete with those from grassroots backgrounds, then the younger generation is really a hopeless case and they can just recruit new disciples when the time comes.

Not all disciples of a Nascent Soul cultivator have the Nascent Soul aura, but those with the Nascent Soul aura can be accepted as new disciples by the Nascent Soul cultivator.

They only need to fish people out of the final pool. After all, they are part of the rules of the Thousand Star City. They just need to turn it over. I believe no one will disobey them.

"Bai Ye, Xing Huan, Xuan Wu, and Liu Xing, stay here!"

"Everyone else, dismiss the meeting!"

The beast tide receded and the traitor was caught. True Lord Xuanwu and True Lord Zilong, who had been hiding outside to recuperate, have returned.

Although they were all seriously injured to varying degrees, they were not seriously injured, which was good news.

They all recovered well after recuperating with the high-level spiritual objects stored in the Immortal City, especially True Lord Xuanwu, who was surrounded by divine light and whose powerful aura of the middle Nascent Soul stage remained undiminished.

"Bai Ye, you tell me!" "Everyone, we have a direct route to the Demonic Horn Region..."

With the return of True Lord Tianjian, the top power of Thousand Star City is secured and has become bolder. Naturally, they need to counterattack the Demonic Horn Domain.

It is no exaggeration to say that if we don't defeat the same number of Nascent Soul Demon Cultivators from the five major demon sects, it will not be enough to vent our anger or boost the morale and hearts of the people in the Thousand Star City. Only a tough counterattack can curb them.

"We are currently short of manpower, and the proportion of those in the early stages of the Nascent Soul stage is too high..."

Some people expressed their concerns that the Thousand Star City was currently not strong enough. Although there were quite a few Nascent Soul cultivators in the Thousand Star City, most of them were in the early Nascent Soul stage, including both new and old ones. It was unrealistic to expect them to exert too much strength.

The five major demon sects in the Demon Horn Region have all developed complete Taoist inheritances. Among them, the worst one, the Blood Demon Sect, has four Nascent Souls, not to mention the Tiansheng Sect, which has the potential to unify the Demon Horn Region.

Although the Thousand Star City, which has entered a period of weakness, can easily crush any one of them, the territory of the Demon Horn Region is only so big. If it is delayed by an accident, it is likely to make a heinous mistake.

"Manpower is not a problem. We can directly mobilize fifteen strong men from Chaochun, Lingying, and Jinglan!"

Tianjian Zhenjun has a broader vision, and his way of handling things is naturally simple and natural. He does not need to consider too many impacts, and directly stops killing with killing, killing until the enemy is frightened and dares not to cause trouble.

Chaochun, Lingying and Jinglan are the other three cities near the Thousand Star City besides Ice and Snow and Killing. They are within the defense line and do not have such great defensive pressure, but they are also within the activity range of the Demon Corner Domain and naturally have the obligation to assist in the operation.

"Fifteen strong men? That's fine! We shouldn't delay this!"

"Then agree on a goal and time..."

This matter is top secret and will not be told to anyone else until the moment of action, not even to the local Nascent Soul cultivators in Thousand Star City.

Ichthyosaur Islands,

The second and third level auctions held by the Lin family this time were very successful, and it was a success that could be recorded in the history of the Lin family.

Not only was this success due to the huge profits and unprecedented traffic it brought to the Immortal City, but it also further expanded the influence of the Lin family in the Yulong Islands to a new level.

After the visitors saw the Yulong Fairy City and toured the Yulong Islands, the Jindan forces that had no relationship or only average relationship with the Lin family re-established diplomatic relations and all raised the level of negotiation.

They saw the prosperity of the Lin family from all aspects of the Yulong Islands and understood that now was not the limit. Even the north-south division of the Lin family was seen by them as a false illusion to confuse the outside world.

"Thank you for your talisman. It brings me good luck!"

When the auction ended, Lin Qianfan met Lin Qianxue and returned the talisman he had lent her before leaving.

Although the situation was too critical to use the talisman, the other person's intention was right, and Lin Qianfan needed to return it in person.

"What did you tell my aunt?"

When Lin Qianxue saw Lin Qianfan coming closer, she rarely showed a hint of coquettishness and stared at Lin Qianfan to see if he had any frivolous look.

"I didn't say anything. It was mainly because the ancestor encouraged me to practice hard and told me to marry you after I formed the elixir, so as not to let you get away with it."

Lin Qianfan was not ashamed, since this was partly true anyway.

"You wish! Wait until you can defeat me!"

Lin Qianxue did not ask for the details, but she could guess that this was really possible. After all, it was impossible for Lin Qianxue to marry outside the family, and the previous Jindan cultivators/current Jindan seeds of the Lin family were all mediocre. Among the younger generation, only Lin Qianfan could barely keep up with her pace.

Although she did not reject Lin Qianfan, and believed that if Lin Qianfan could produce a top-grade golden elixir, he would indeed be the best choice for a Taoist companion. Otherwise, she would have to be a pure-hearted Taoist nun like her aunt forever, but she was not convinced in her heart.

Although Lin Qianfan did not accept her challenge, she believed that she had surpassed Lin Qianfan, and from now on Lin Qianfan would be the pursuer. It would be difficult for her to connect with pursuers who were not as good as her.

It's not that Lin Qianxue is arrogant, but she is really capable.
In terms of cultivation, Lin Qianfan had just entered the fourth level of foundation building, while Lin Qianxue had already reached the peak of the fourth level, and her foundation was equally solid and deep.
In terms of spiritual cultivation, Lin Qianfan practiced his own Great Sun Visualization Method, while Lin Qianxue practiced the Lin family's secret spiritual cultivation method. The Lin family's spiritual cultivation method seemed to have a long history and was not bad, and they were equally good.
In terms of physical strength, Lin Qianfan practiced the Lingshu Guiyuan Sutra that he had exchanged with the Zhang family. This method can comprehensively improve defense and optimize Dan formation.
Lin Qianxue used the "Su Nu Xuan Bing Jin", a physical training technique specifically for ice spirit roots that Lin Rongrong had obtained for her from the Cardinal Pavilion in Thousand Star City.

This technique does not rely entirely on Qi and blood, and can even be considered a semi-physical technique, but it can cultivate an acquired ice body, increase the Dantian's spiritual power capacity and spiritual power output caliber, and is also beneficial for forming a pill.

In addition, the Ice Spirit Root has an efficiency advantage in daily practice, and there is more free time every day, which can be used to learn other abilities. She does not need to run around for resources. All conditions are ready and free. The unified will of the entire Xiancheng Lin family is to give priority to her training and try to let her lead the Lin family to upgrade.

Therefore, she also used her spare time to excel in formation and fairy city/family management. Now she is quite prestigious. It can be said that she is no worse than Lin Qianfan in any dimension.

Don't think that the young ladies carefully trained by wealthy families are ignorant and nerdy girls.

In fact, they enjoy the best education, the best resources, and are trained in all aspects. They have no shortcomings and possess advanced vision and broad minds, which are simply not something that grassroots people can easily reach.

Therefore, she must be ambitious and unwilling to have her marriage/fate arranged by others, even by the closest elders in the family.

Although she did not reject Lin Qianfan, she also did not approve of him enough. At least in terms of marriage, she felt that Lin Qianfan was not good enough to be a Taoist partner. This made her very dissatisfied, at least not until Lin Qianfan showed his absolutely outstanding ability.

"It's too early to discuss this now. A temporary victory or defeat doesn't mean anything. The future is uncertain. You and I are both fish and dragons. Let's wait until we've truly crossed the Dragon Gate before we discuss this."

Lin Qianfan's performance was different from his usual low-key and introverted self. His words were full of confidence, and he directly compared himself to the ambitions of fish and dragons.

Indeed, Lin Qianfan does not need to prove anything now. There is no benefit in defeating Lin Qianxue now, and she still will not accept it.

Because the cultivation gap between the two sides is bound to continue to widen, the advantage of the Ice Spirit Root cannot be eliminated in the short term in the Foundation Establishment Realm. After the first challenge, there will be a second and third time, so there is not much meaning.

Only when she forms the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir in the future and the advantage of the Ice Spirit Root in the Golden Elixir stage is gone, will her spirit naturally decline.

Defeating her now or bringing these things to light will only make the Lin family in Xiancheng hostile to him and hinder him. After all, Lin Qianxue is the perfect princess in their hearts, and no matter how outstanding Lin Qianfan is now, he cannot change the humble nature of his origin from a small branch.

"It seems you are very confident. I look forward to your performance!"

Lin Qianxue is not opposed to marriage. At least in the process of managing her family, she believes that the family leader should set a good example in many aspects, and a strong connection is also the best way to keep the main line strong. But the premise of everything is that Lin Qianfan is strong enough to produce a top-grade golden elixir, otherwise there is no point in talking about it.

"We'll see!"
