In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 433 Five Thunder Warriors, Three Hundred Backbone!
"A divine weapon for conquering all directions?"

Yue Fei understood the meaning of the song.

During his lifetime, he was a renowned general who commanded and trained troops, a Great Wall of the Song Dynasty, an impregnable fortress against the Jin Dynasty, and an invincible commander who single-handedly led the Yue Family Army.

They knew that Xie Lingxin couldn't possibly be asking about ordinary soldiers.

He is now the first of the Five Thunder Kings of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Altar.

"Young Master means... to forge the Five Thunder Warriors?"

Xie Lingxin nodded.

With a commander and generals, naturally there must be soldiers.

The Five Thunder Warriors are Taoist soldiers within the Thunder Department of the Divine Firmament Heavenly Altar.

Even in legends, no matter how powerful the generals of the Thunder Department are, they cannot single-handedly control the clouds and rain, bestow blessings upon the world, command thunder and lightning, and reward or punish the three realms.

It would require the cooperation of many strongmen, waving flags and beating drums, and driving chariots in formation.

The Heavenly Altar General Command Diagram in the Divine Firmament Thunder Magic is fundamentally about the "Heavenly Altar," but its operation lies in the word "command."

The soldiers and officers of the Thunder Department were all engaged in this activity!

Yue Fei pondered and said, "Young lord, the Five Thunder Command is not yet complete, and the generals of the Thunder Department are not yet in place. Even if we forge the Five Thunder Warriors, I'm afraid it will be difficult to fully unleash their power."

Five Thunder Commands...

It's basically this Altar of Heaven plus the magical artifacts of the Five Thunder Kings.

The Temple of Heaven was only in its initial stages of development.

There are five more magical artifacts. It was already difficult to forge Yue Fei's Fire Spear, and the materials alone would be a problem if you wanted to forge all of them.

"What if we only train your type of warrior?"

"If that's the case..."

Yue Fei pondered for a long time before saying, "Although its might has been greatly diminished, if I were to give it some training and supplement it with battle formations, it could still be of some use."

Xie Lingxin was overjoyed: "Then I'll practice your version for now!"

Yue Fei said, "Young lord, if we follow this method, then the souls of the soldiers to be forged cannot be chosen arbitrarily. They must be the souls of soldiers who died on the battlefield."

"The battle-hardened souls who died on the battlefield?"

Xie Lingxin's eyes flickered.

Isn't this a coincidence?
It seems that the Wang family fought this battle well, brilliantly.

"Ugh……"

Yue Fei suddenly sighed, looking lost in thought.

"Why is the Marshal doing this?"

"The Yue Family Army fought alongside me for many years, but I failed to secure a good future for them; most of them even met untimely ends..."

"The others are alright; although they're scattered all over the place, they can always find a way to survive."

"But of the eight thousand elite Beiwei soldiers under my command, more than half have died in battle over the years, and those who remain will probably find it difficult to be accepted by the Song court."

"Nurtured by the Temple of Heaven, I gradually recalled events from before and after my death. After my death, the White Lotus heretics stole my body, but I was saved by three hundred water ghosts."

"Those three hundred water ghosts were the elite Beiwei warriors who had survived, but were scattered and assigned to various places by the government. They were killed along the way and their bodies were dumped in the river."

"Holding resentment, they gathered but did not disperse, becoming those three hundred water ghosts, yet still harboring hatred towards someone..."

"Alas, I am truly ashamed."

Yue Fei sighed deeply.

Upon hearing this, Xie Lingxin suddenly had a thought, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

With a thought, a small command flag flew over and landed in his hand.

This was given to me by the Shenxiao Daoist sorcerer in Yue Fei's realm before the realm collapsed during the great battle between the "Buddha's Thought" incarnation and the Xiao family's Bi'an divine beast.

It was used by him to command the Thunder Gods.

Inside, besides the Thunder God he had crafted, there was also a remnant soul of Yue Fei, which was entrusted to the four words "serve the country with utmost loyalty".

Besides that, there were also wisps of gloomy thoughts inside.

In the rush to forge the Divine Firmament Altar and the Fire Spear, there was no time for careful study.

Later, a series of events occurred, and I completely forgot about this.

Now, hearing Yue Fei mention it, he realized that the number of thoughts in this command flag was exactly three hundred and one... Hmm?

Why is there one more?
So he said, "Marshal Yue, please come with me."

Yue Fei, unaware of the meaning, still clasped his hands and said, "If the young lord commands, I will obey without question."

Xie Lingxin immediately rolled up the command flag and put it into it.

In the blink of an eye, he awoke from his meditation.

The Niwan Heavenly Palace was the highest and most important place in his mind, and naturally, it was not a place that others could enter or leave at will.

He stood up and waved the command flag, and a stream of light flew out, transforming into the figure of Yue Fei.

Yue Fei merely glanced at the simple surroundings and didn't take it seriously.

Xie Lingxin couldn't help but secretly admire his composure in the face of both honor and disgrace; he truly lived up to the title of Young Master Yue.

Xie Lingxin led Yue Fei out of the simple Xie family courtyard.

He walked out of the village and came to the lake he had accidentally discovered when he had just woken up.

This place is spacious enough.

Then the command flag was raised again.

Wisps of gray mist flew out from the flag, landing and revealing figures.

These figures all had unfocused and lifeless eyes.

His gaze only flickered when he saw Yue Fei.

They mechanically bowed down to Yue Fei.

"Greetings, Marshal!"

Neat and orderly, without a single mishap.

With over three hundred members, it possessed an imposing, mountain-like aura.

"Is it you!?"

Yue Fei was both surprised and delighted.

His gaze immediately fell on one person.

The man was broad-shouldered and long-armed, with a fierce appearance and an aura of valor.

His eyes were more alert than others, and there was a hint of excitement in them.

"Zhang Xian?!"

"marshal!"

The two men clasped their arms together and locked eyes.

Xie Lingxin almost automatically added "this bow" to the title.

Thoughts raced through my mind.

Zhang Xian?

Isn't this one of Yue Fei's fierce generals?

Historically, this is unknown, but in the novel "The Story of Yue Fei," he is one of the "Six Spears" of Yue Fei's army.

He is comparable to other formidable figures like Gao Chong and Yang Zaixing; if a ranking of the world's heroes were made, he would certainly be among them.

How did it end up in the flag?

"How did you end up here?" After his initial excitement, Yue Fei voiced his question.

Zhang Xian said, "Marshal, when you were murdered, the young general and I were secretly tortured by the traitor Qin Hui, who forced us to give false testimony and frame you for being unjust and disloyal!"

He angrily said, "How could I, Biaoxia, be a coward who fears death? Because I refused to join the rebels, I was beheaded in the marketplace along with the young general!"

"Later, I don't know why, but a Taoist priest found this wisp of my spirit and marked it, saying that he pitied my loyalty and righteousness and would protect this wisp of my soul for the future."

"I've been living in a daze all this time, who would have thought I'd see the Marshal again!"

Yue Fei remained silent for a long time.

The young general he mentioned was naturally his eldest son, Yue Yun.

He sighed deeply, "It's all my fault that you've all been ruined..."

Xie Lingxin, who was listening nearby, was very curious and wanted to ask: Do you regret it?

But I still held back.

He estimated that if given the chance again, Yue Fei would make the same choice.

"Come, let me greet the young lord!"

At this moment, Yue Fei pulled Zhang Xian over.

He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, young lord!"

Xie Lingxin shook her head: "Why thank me? Whether it's the marshal, General Zhang Xian, or the soldiers, they were all saved by that Taoist priest with his great magical powers. I am just inheriting his legacy."

"It's a pity... that Taoist priest had long ago resolved to die..."

He sighed softly.

He still doesn't know what the Taoist priest's name was.

From the fact that he collected the three hundred Beiwei soldiers and Zhang Xian's remaining soul into his command flag, we know that he was a righteous man.

He could have escaped back then, but he had long ago resolved to die.

"In any case, thank you very much, Young Master! It is truly thanks to you, Young Master, that Zhang Xian will be able to see the Marshal again!"

Zhang Xian had already knelt down and kowtowed several times.

"Alright, alright, I'll take it."

Xie Lingxin waved her hand impatiently and got straight to the point: "Marshal Yue, now that we have these three hundred remnant souls of Beiwei, I wonder if they can be refined into warriors for your troops?"

Yue Fei took a deep breath and glanced at the three hundred remnant souls.

"Although they only have a wisp of remnant will left, they are the undying military spirit of my Yue Family Army. If they can be refined into Dao soldiers, that would be the best outcome."

"With these three hundred Beiwei as a foundation, the training of the remaining Dao soldiers will be much easier."

These Beiwei soldiers, unlike Zhang Xian, were martial arts masters like him in life.

Although his physical body was destroyed, his martial will remained, and he still possessed consciousness.

Refining them into Dao weapons might actually restore their sanity; otherwise, even with the command flag, they would slowly disappear over time.

Moreover, this was his most elite unit of soldiers during his lifetime. If they were to become his troops, they would be as easy to command as his own limbs!
So there's nothing to hesitate about.

"it is good!"

Xie Lingxin didn't actually need to ask him, but out of respect.

So that he wouldn't think he was blaspheming the spirits of the fallen heroes.

Since you agree, that's for the best.

He looked at Zhang Xian: "General Zhang, would you be willing to return to your marshal's command and fight on all sides?"

Without hesitation or even a question, Zhang Xian knelt down again: "This humble general's wish is beyond my ability to ask!"

"it is good."

Xie Lingxin didn't say anything more, raised the command flag, and collected the 301 remnant souls.

"The Five Thunder Command Flag and the Southern Fire Thunder Flag will require the Marshal's assistance."

The Five Thunder Command Flags are based at the Temple of Heaven. The five flags, in five colors—blue, red, white, black, and yellow—correspond to the magical implements of the five Thunder Kings.

Like the Temple of Heaven, it was formed by the condensation of the Five Thunder Kings.

Yue Fei solemnly replied, "I will certainly live up to your high expectations, young lord!"

"it is good."

With a thought, Yue Fei transformed into a stream of light and returned to the Niwan Heavenly Palace.

"Hua Man".

Look back.

Hua Man walked out silently.

Eyes flickering.

"Owner……"

Xie Lingxin said, "You heard it too, I'm going to refine the Five Thunder Dao Weapon. These days, you'll guard the village for me."

Only after hearing Xie Lingxin say it herself did she dare to be sure.

Five Thunder Dao Soldiers...

Isn't that the legendary Thunder God of the Heavenly Realm?
He actually has such methods?
What is its origin?
He replied, "Yes, Master."

"Also, what do you think of this place?"

Xie Lingxin looked around.

Hua Man asked, "Does Master intend to cultivate spiritual fields here and grow spiritual herbs?"

Xie Lingxin nodded.

Hua Man said, "This place is full of spiritual energy, secluded, and located in the Mountain Lord's Divine Realm, so it is indeed the perfect place."

"Then leave it to you."

"..."

You've certainly managed to push it away cleanly.

Hua Man bowed her head and said, "This servant obeys."

Xie Lingxin nodded, then leaped onto the rock in the middle of the lake. With a thought, she left the main domain.

……

The primordial spirit returns to the physical body.

Xie Lingxin opened her eyes.

He couldn't possibly forge Dao weapons within the domain; otherwise, even if he sold himself, it might not be enough to meet his needs for breaking through limits in the future.

It can only be refined in the material world.

Refining Dao weapons isn't just about having a remnant soul.

Most importantly, one must prepare a body to house the remnant soul.

He did not possess the great supernatural power and destiny of the old Taoist priest who could recreate Yue Fei's physical body with his bare hands.

We can only follow the instructions in the "Illustrated Guide to the Servants of the Temple of Heaven" to refine it.

The materials used to forge the bodies of Dao soldiers are also graded.

Ordinary metals can be used, but only the lowest-grade Dao weapons can be forged.

Since it is ordinary iron, it is naturally not very durable.

Therefore, Xie Lingxin did not intend to use it.

He wants to use the Mystic Crystal!
