Chapter 681 The Great Perfection of the Ten Abyss Sea-Suppressing Technique!

Squads of soldiers dressed in the uniforms of the River Conservancy Bureau, under the personal command of Li Cheng, the head of the River Conservancy Bureau, carefully transferred boxes of supplies covered with talismans and imbued with spiritual light from the ships, registered them, and loaded them onto specially made widened carriages.

These supplies are the weapons and armor crafted by the artisans of the Ministry of Works, and the various elixirs refined by the Secret Medicine Department are the core resources obtained from the East Sea hunt.

Li Cheng's jade abacus trembled violently, and beads of sweat dripped from his chin onto the ledger.

He checked the sandalwood boxes piled up on the shore one by one: "Three thousand one hundred and twenty Xuanwu scale shields, ninety thousand Xuanjiao bone-piercing arrows..."

He gasped sharply, pointing to the raised "Supervised by the Ministry of Works" wax seal on the box: "There are actually five thousand bottles of Bone Tempering Pills specially refined by the Secret Medicine Department!"

"Thirty thousand Shark Tooth Wave-Breaking Blades! Fifteen thousand sets of Fish Scale Armor!" the accompanying scribe added hoarsely. "Eight thousand six hundred Bone-Corroding Iron Spears! Thirty-two hundred Black Dragon Cloud-Soaring Staffs!"

The mountain of monster flesh and blood had been sealed with talismans.

The armor and weapons shimmered with a mysterious light, revealing profound and enigmatic shadows.

……

Half an hour later.

"Inventory complete." Luo Hongxiu handed the jade slip containing the recorded supplies to Han Xiao, who was dressed in a blue scholar's robe.

"By order of the Marquis, all eight thousand bottles of Crimson Dragon Bone Tempering Pills and twelve thousand jars of Mysterious Turtle Essence Strengthening Powder shall be allocated to the military camp."

Her gaze swept over the Shark Tooth Wave-Breaking Blades being loaded onto the trucks, and her voice suddenly sharpened: "The raging waves of the East Sea temper my blade; I hope you will not fail the 100,000 soldiers and armor forged by the Marquis with blood and fire!"

Han Xiao straightened his expression and looked at the eight hundred carriages behind him loaded with Star Steel crossbows.

Inside the carriages, the transported supplies were enough to equip an army of 200,000 and to provide enough supplies for a million soldiers to train for three months.

Those pills, elixirs, and various kinds of demon beast meat were actually supplies for the new army.

What kind of soldiers does the Marquis of Qingyang intend to train...?

Taking a deep breath, Han Xiao bowed and clasped his hands: "Please convey to the Marquis that the Eastern Frontier Camp will go all out to train the army. On the day of the Marquis's return, the new Eastern Frontier Army will surely be as sharp as ten thousand feet of iron armor!"

Marquis Qingyang used the grand scale of his hunting expedition in the East Sea to cover up the intense training being carried out in the Eastern Border Camp.

Furthermore, the hunting army also gathered a massive amount of supplies to provide for the new army in the main camp.

If even this cannot train elite troops, then the Duke of Ningguo and others stationed at the Eastern Frontier Camp will have no face to see the Marquis of Qingyang again.

"Put anchor!"

Three bronze warships, escorted by sword flashes and the Zhenhai Whale, tore through the river waves and headed towards the East Sea.

At the stern of the ship heading east, the hoarse bidding voice of the Nine Rivers Alliance manager from Yuncang City could be faintly heard: "The market price of the Xuan Turtle Shell has doubled! Nine Rivers will buy it all!"

------------------

East China Sea.

Inside the top cabin of the Zhenhai Ship, Zhang Yuan sat cross-legged, his aura surging like a raging sea.

A bronze token in his palm hummed and vibrated, its surface covered with deep-sea rust patterns.

This is a command order of a deputy commander of the Zhenhai Guard, which was found in a sunken site at Qixingjiao.

The jade slips laid out beside the token are inscribed with the glorious past of the Zhenhaiwei Guard of the East China Sea in ancient seal script:

Zhenhaiwei was established in the first year of the Kaihai calendar of the Great Xia Dynasty. It was in charge of 36,000 Zhenhai Pillars and patrolled the sea area of ​​8 million li.

When the Nine Abyss Sea-Suppressing Formation is deployed, even ten thousand sea-covering dragons cannot budge it in the slightest.

Looking at the words on the jade slip, Zhang Yuan seemed to see a scene of an army standing tall in an endless ocean.

The ancient Heavenly Court, the guardian deity of the sea, its splendor undiminished for millions of years.

"In the seven hundredth year of the Xuanqiong Calendar, the Black Heaven Demon Tide from beyond the realm crossed over, and the Zhenhai Guard fought to the death without retreating."

"This humble general led three thousand comrades in formation, charging alongside King Yu, burning their souls and shattering their bones, finally slaying the Demon Commander at the Eye of the Ruins. In this battle, the East Sea surged with blood for three thousand miles..."

Looking at the jade slip, Zhang Yuan slowly clenched his fist.

I regret that I cannot witness the might of the ancient King Yu in suppressing the seas.

This jade slip also contains the core inheritance of Zhenhai Guard, the "Ten Abyss Sea-Suppressing Technique".

With the power of a physical dragon, he rules over the Nine Abyss and crushes all evil with the power of the ten directions of the sea!
Zhang Yuan closed his eyes and deduced the martial arts technique, his muscles moving like a coiled dragon.

The Divine Elephant Suppressing Prison Technique and the Mountain and River Moving True Essence roared and collided in the meridians, gradually merging with the Vast Ocean Power recorded in the jade slip.

He lacked the power of a dragon, but possessed the body of a dragon and an elephant. With his physical strength, he was already no different from a dragon!

Within his mind, the beads of enlightenment shattered, transforming into a golden torrent that manifested the cultivation techniques contained in the jade slip.

The boundless energy and qi trembled, causing the power of the Great Dao to roar.

Zhang Yuan's eyes gleamed with a sharp light.

This ancient fist technique unleashes the power of the deepest ocean!

"First Abyss, Shattered Reef!"

With a casual flick of his right fist, the air in the cabin suddenly collapsed, forming a deep blue vortex that shredded the black iron paperweight on the table into dust.

"The Fifth Abyss, Zhenyue!"

With a downward press of his left palm, the entire Zhenhai boat sank three feet.

The massive wave, hundreds of feet high, seemed to freeze in mid-air, with water droplets suspended like stars!

On the deck of the Zhenhai ship, all the soldiers looked up at the top cabin with awe in their eyes.

On the ferry not far away, Nie Duanqiu gripped the hilt of his sword, looked at the buoyant Zhenhai Ship, and took a deep breath.

"The fighting strength of Marquis Qingyang..."

Beside him, several elites from the Nine Yang Sword Sect shook their heads with wry smiles.

They had no way of knowing just how strong Qingyang Marquis was.

Inside the cabin of the Zhenhai boat, Zhang Yuan's eyes suddenly snapped open!

"The Ninth Abyss, the Ruins of Return!"

Behind him, a phantom image of a bottomless abyss appeared, with a blue dragon seemingly coiled around the golden body of the King of Light at the bottom of the abyss. The Buddha Pearl and the Demon Pearl collided violently in the Chaos Furnace.

"boom!"

Within the Chaos Furnace, the Heavenly Dao Golden Pearl burst forth with starlight, igniting the Demonic Qi Pearl to burn like crimson flames!
Blood beads condensed into a nine-headed black dragon that coiled in the cave, while the qi beads exploded like thunder!
In the shattered void, the silent chaotic furnace spun wildly, transforming into a giant whirlpool in the deep sea.

The furnace wall is adorned with a relief depicting the Zhenhaiwei's bloody battle against the extraterrestrial demons, while a phantom of a demonic sword engraved with Qizhou inscriptions struggles and howls fiercely at the heart of the furnace!

This demonic sword is the sword of the extraterrestrial demons suppressed by Zhenhaiwei.

When the strange phenomenon subsided, a ball of dark blue true qi, surging with dark currents, appeared in Zhang Yuan's palm.

The Ten Abyss Sea-Suppressing Techniques have reached their ultimate perfection!

A chaotic furnace trembled in his mind, and golden light and shadow emerged on it, forming a torrent.

Unbeknownst to him, Zhang Yuan's physical strength had already surpassed that of the Five Heavens.

He himself dared not imagine what kind of world-destroying scene it would create if he truly unleashed it.

Having mastered the Sea-Suppressing Technique this time, he also gained the power of Returning to the Void.

Moreover, this time, a new inscription, "Suppressing the Sea," was branded on the Chaos Furnace.

According to feedback from the furnace, this inscription can refine the malevolent energy of the sea to amplify the power of cultivation techniques.

"The Boundless Sea, the extraterrestrial demons, the ancient Heavenly Court's Sea Guard army..."

Zhang Yuan looked out the porthole, his eyes gleaming with light and shadow.
