Primordial Era: Exceptional Comprehension, Destroying Buzhou Mountain at the Start

Chapter 338 The Nine Cauldrons Luck Array, the Origin of the Nine Great Walls, the Flying Beast Demon Clan, and Facing the Incoming Enemy.

After saying this, he looked at Ruolin and Wu Meiniang, his eyes showing a hint of contemplation: "Xilin will accompany me to the battlefield this time. The two of you will stay in Yuhang County and protect everything within it for me. Also, please prepare the logistics for me. After all, no matter what kind of war it is, logistics are extremely important."

"Ruolin, I am giving you the top-grade spiritual treasure, the Battle Dao Creation Pool, so that you may use its waters to accelerate the reproduction of the people in Yuhang County. Just like the previous Daughter Kingdom, accelerate the training of qualified warriors to serve as reserves for my army."

"Meiniang, you are in charge of the reconstruction of Yuhang County after the drought, and you are also responsible for accelerating the planting of new grains. I have a feeling that this battle may last a long time. At that time, food supplies will be very important."

Although Di Xiao was to lead an army to resist the sweeping enemy, it did not mean that he would lose his position as the governor of Yuhang County. Not to mention that Li Shimin did not remove Di Xiao from his position as governor, Di Xiao himself was unwilling to see his governorship removed.

With Yuhang County as a base, Emperor Xiao would have a continuous supply of soldiers and provisions. At least when the war reached its limit and the Tang Dynasty could no longer sustain the resources required to support its entire army, his army would still have a way to retreat.

Both Ruolin and Wu Meiniang were well aware of the key aspects of Di Xiao's arrangements.

Ruolin readily agreed: "Rest assured, Lord Emperor, Ruolin will certainly protect Yuhang County for you!"

Wu Zetian said reluctantly, "My husband, how about I go with you to the border? I..."

"Meiniang, your cultivation is too low. The battlefield is extremely dangerous, and once the war starts, it will be difficult for me to protect you. So you should stay in Yuhang County!" Wu Meiniang, the future empress, has not yet grown up, so how could Di Xiao let her take risks?

Moreover, what kind of person would bring his wife along when he goes to war?

After rejecting Wu Meiniang, Di Xiao also handed over the Battle Dao Creation Pool to Ruolin. This was originally a new special spiritual treasure that Di Xiao had refined after comprehending the Martial Arts Examination and obtaining the Mother-Child Pool, a treasure of the Women's Kingdom, using the Battle Dao.

Afterwards, Di Xiao received Bai Suzhen's insights into creation and Zhao Ling'er's life techniques, gaining profound understanding from them. Naturally, he refined this treasure again, causing its reproductive effects to undergo a qualitative change, and it now contained the power of creation and life.

It also cleansed away the constraints that prevented women from drinking the pool's water from conceiving only girls. It caused women who drank the pool's water to subsequently conceive both men and women.

After doing all this, Di Xiao bid farewell to Bai Suzhen and the others. Given the gravity of the battle, Bai Suzhen and the others couldn't easily get involved; they could only silently gaze at Di Xiao, their eyes filled with deep meaning.

Di Xiao, clad in armor made entirely of top-grade acquired spiritual treasures and wielding a battle halberd, declared: "My soldiers, follow me to the border to meet the enemy..."

In an instant, roars and shouts filled the air as the army set off, riding the teleportation array towards the border.

The Southern Border of the Great Tang Dynasty's Nine Provinces.

On the southern border, a black Great Wall, seemingly spanning the ages, stands guard, blocking out countless beings.

This terrifying Great Wall, thick and majestic, is filled with the vicissitudes of time, endless desolation, and the indomitable fighting spirit of the human race.

Speaking of which, the Great Wall is truly a marvel of the primordial era, a miracle of humankind. Originally, there was no such thing as a Great Wall in the Nine Provinces of Humanity, but during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, the various feudal lords and kings fought endlessly, triggering a war that lasted for 500,000 years across the entire Nine Provinces.

Especially amidst such war and chaos, King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, who had not yet unified the world, conquered the Zhou emperor and shook the Nine Tripods.

Those nine cauldrons were forged by Yu the Great, the strongest of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

During the reign of Yu the Great, the human realm had not yet been divided into the Nine Provinces, nor did it possess its current power. Demons, cultivators, and many other ill-intentioned cultivators could freely roam the human realm, bringing much chaos to the entire human race.

The floods that struck the nine provinces of the human race were also caused by these cultivators who came and went at will.

After becoming emperor, Yu the Great led a massive human army to wipe out countless cholera-infected cultivators, suppress the demon race that caused the floods, and kill the Red-Bottomed Macaques.

Later, in order to stabilize the human world and ensure the peace of the human race, Yu the Great collected countless divine materials. He then incorporated two treasures of merit obtained by Youchao and Ziyi, two of the three ancestors of the human race, into it.

They forged the Nine Cauldrons of the Human Race. Each of these Nine Cauldrons is a top-grade acquired merit treasure. If all nine are gathered together, they will definitely surpass the acquired merit treasures.

Then Yu the Great divided the land into nine provinces, used nine tripods to suppress them, intertwined the human race's fortune, and evolved the Human Race's Nine Tripod Fortune Array.

This grand formation covers the nine provinces of the human race, guarding their dragon veins and completely protecting the human lands. It makes it difficult for cultivators to freely travel to and from the human lands.

Furthermore, due to the Nine Cauldrons Fortune Array, rashly entering the Nine Provinces of the Human Race would inevitably weaken one's cultivation by as much as 30%.

Therefore, the nine provinces of the human race became as solid as a rock.

As time passed and the nine cauldrons of the human race accumulated merit from protecting them, they gradually transformed from being top-grade merit treasures to being supreme merit treasures. The power of the resulting grand formation also increased significantly.

Unfortunately, when King Wu of Qin, Ying Dang, overthrew the Zhou emperor, he displayed his true form as a great sorcerer by lifting one of the Nine Tripod Cauldrons in order to demonstrate his military power.

But the Nine Cauldrons are not so easy to lift. Lifting them would mean shaking an entire province, and it would mean shaking the great array of destiny for the nine provinces. And the final result was that Ying Dang, the Great Witch, was suppressed and killed.

However, Ying Dang ultimately shook the Nine Cauldrons and affected the Nine Cauldrons Fortune Array. This made the Nine Provinces of Humanity less impregnable for a period of time. Many cultivators sought to take advantage of this opportunity to come to the mortal realm.

This also attracted many satisfied, or perhaps ignorant, demons to invade.

Therefore, the various states of the Spring and Autumn Period, which were constantly engaged in internal wars, began to abandon their internal conflicts and focus their efforts on the invading barbarian tribes. Furthermore, to better defend against them, they built countless city walls.

After Qin Shi Huang unified the nine provinces, he discovered that the effects of the disrupted Nine Tripods Formation had not yet dissipated. He then ordered the city walls of the various states to be connected, eventually forming the Great Wall that now encircles the entire nine provinces.

It can be said that the borders of the nine provinces are all part of the Great Wall.

After being nurtured by various dynasties and through numerous wars, the Great Wall of the Nine Provinces has long surpassed the limits of a treasure acquired later in life.

Now, Di Xiao stands on the Great Wall on the southern border, gazing into the distance, and sees countless scattered corpses and severed limbs.

"General Di Xiao, the enemy has been annihilated. But there are still enemy troops following..." The human soldiers guarding this place looked at Di Xiao with respect.

His name is Qin Huaiyu, son of Qin Qiong of the Tang Dynasty. He originally served under Qin Qiong, but after many years of training, he has grown into a capable individual. This time, due to an unexpected turn of events, he was dispatched to Emperor Xiao's side.

Qin Huaiyu, a descendant of a meritorious official of the Tang Dynasty, naturally knew everything about Di Xiao. In particular, he was also good brothers with Xue Dingshan, so he knew even more about Di Xiao.
