The mastermind behind the scenes starting with the calamity of all races

Yun Jie chimed in from the side.

In Yun Jie's view, these two, one a Tang king and the other a Wu king, should be a sure thing, barring any unforeseen circumstances.

Even if they weren't, Yun Jie didn't think that calling them brothers would lower his status. In his previous life, he still addressed them as "brother" and "sister," it was just a matter of form.

"All right……"

Seeing that Qin Guang and Yun Jie had both said so, the two of them did not refuse anymore. After all, they had also fantasized about this scene before, and now it had come true.

"Hahaha……"

……

the next day.

It was nearly noon when Yun Jie finally got out of bed. He hadn't used his energy to counteract the effects of the alcohol last night, since he was enjoying himself. So when he returned to his room last night, he was already quite dizzy.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Yun Jie circulated his vital energy, sweeping away the effects of the alcohol from his body.

"Check-in!"

With a thought, he silently brought up the system panel.

"Congratulations, host, you have obtained the Seventy-Two Iron Forging Techniques!"

"Yes! I've been waiting for you! Now I can break through to the sky!"

With all the necessary techniques and resources, Yun Jie decided he needed to return to the ruins again, as the abundant spiritual energy there was perfect for a breakthrough.

If we break through from the outside, it will definitely cause a huge commotion, and if we're not careful, the Great Zhou King will see through it!

However, I just got back yesterday, so I'll take a few days off. I'll wait until Qin Guang breaks through his own limits before I try to break through, so I won't stand out too much.

Yun Jie thought to himself.

The moment he saw Qin Guang, he could tell that he was already at the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm, because Qin Guang did not hide it, but instead revealed it openly.

Unlike the two treacherous King Zhou and Yun Jie, who kept things hidden, Qin Guang walked the "righteous path" with integrity!

Indeed, those with talent in the way of warriors can make rapid progress once they have sufficient resources!

Moreover, judging from Qin Guang's condition, Yun Jie believes that he should be able to break through soon.

Thinking of this, Yun Jie was no longer in such a hurry.

Chapter 28 Training Plan [Please add to your favorites! Please vote!]

On a sweltering summer afternoon, the sun blazes down while a gentle breeze brings a touch of coolness to the heat.

Inside the valley named Qin Yun Valley, there is a pavilion built of fine Phoebe zhennan wood. It is already covered with climbing plants, with layers of emerald green leaves and colorful exotic flowers interspersed among them. It can not only block the sun, but also bring a lot of fun to life.

Specks of sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on the faces and bodies of the three people in the pavilion, adding to the ambiance.

These three people were Qin Guang, Yun Jie, and Zhou Tianqi.

Born into this chaotic world, the three of them, finding a rare moment of leisure, decided to try their hand at the tranquility and elegance of "watching flowers bloom and fade, and clouds drift and gather."

Qin Guang sat in the center, with Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi on either side. Qin Guang was dressed in military uniform, dignified yet approachable. Yun Jie and Zhou Tianqi were both dressed as scholars, except that the former wore white and the latter wore a dark blue robe. The three of them together resembled a lord and his strategist.

"Come, try the Cloud Soul Tea that I brought out from the ruins."

As he spoke, Qin Guang poured a cup for each of them.

He then explained, "This tea is slightly cold in nature and a little bitter, but it has a slightly sweet aftertaste. Drinking it can quench thirst and relieve dryness, and it has the effect of nourishing the spirit and calming the mind."

Yun Jie glanced at it lightly, nodded as if he understood but not quite, picked up the wine glass to smell it carefully, and then took a sip. "Good tea! Good tea!"

After that, Yun Jie couldn't utter another single word...

Zhou Tianqi, who was standing to the side, smiled meaningfully and then focused on sipping the tea in his hand.

After several drinks, Yun Jie became restless. "Brother, what brings you here?"

"Hehe, I thought you were going to keep pretending, bro. Isn't this just playing along?"

To everyone's surprise, Qin Guang looked at Yun Jie with a smile, and Yun Jie could clearly see the mockery in his eyes.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yun Jie almost spat out his tea. So, he had just fooled himself with his performance?

Yun Jie smiled wryly and said, "Brother, stop teasing me. Get to the point, or I'm leaving."

"Hahaha..." Qin Guang laughed loudly, and seeing Yun Jie get up, he quickly pulled him back, "Don't rush, I'll tell you now."

“Look, it’s been a year since you came back last time and had Tianzhong and Wu Zhong build an army. We should take them out and put them to the test.”

Qin Guang's smile faded, and he began to get serious.

"That's right, I had this idea before, but I haven't been able to take action because of manpower constraints."

Yun Jie wholeheartedly agreed. He had known before that good training alone was not enough; practical experience was also essential.

Changing the subject, Yun Jie added, "However, many of them are not even at the level of a thousand jun yet. If we act rashly, the casualties will be huge."

"That's why I called you here."

Seeing that Qin Guang already had an idea, Yun Jie said, "Brother, if you have any ideas, please speak up."

"Hehe, this is also what Tianqi and I discussed. You see, the three of us are all at the ninth level of the Ten Thousand Stone Realm. Only one of us needs to take care of the settlement, while the other two can lead troops to sweep out the alien races in the Tianshan Mountains. Moreover, we can take action at critical moments. This way, we can reduce casualties and let them see blood. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

After thinking it over, Yun Jie realized that although this method was clumsy, it was very effective, and it was also the only way at present.

"If that's the case, then who will lead the troops and who will stay behind to guard the area?"

"Would you be willing to lead troops?"

Qin Guang's sudden remark caught Yun Jie off guard. "This..."

"See? So, who else is left behind besides you, you lazy bum?"

"..." Yun Jie was speechless and choked with emotion.

And so, the matter of training troops was settled.

That night, Yun Jie gave Qin Guang the flesh and blood of the Golden Roc Clan, the Heavenly Tiger Clan, and the Savage Bull Clan. The flesh and blood of these three clans were beneficial for opening the mind and would greatly reduce the probability of the body exploding. Giving it to people at the eighth or ninth level of the Opening Yuan Realm would make it easier for them to break through to the Thousand Jun Realm.

This is also why Wu Zhong, Tang Tianzhong, and others were able to make rapid progress this year.

However, Qin Guang was puzzled as to why Yun Jie would give these alien corpses to himself.

"Brother, this..."

"That's right. After a year of research, I discovered that the flesh and blood of these demon races helps to open acupoints, and the effect is very good, unlike the flesh and blood of other alien races, which can easily cause people to explode and die."

Then Yun Jie told him about Wu Zhong and the others, and Qin Guang finally understood that not all alien flesh and blood were inedible, but most were simply unsuitable for ordinary people.

"I see, you've been a great help again!"

Qin Guang was troubled by the soldiers' cultivation level. They were all below the Thousand Jun Realm, and their combat strength was indeed pitifully weak. Just talking about the alien races that invaded the human realm, none of them were below the Thousand Jun Realm. If you send a group of soldiers at the Opening Yuan Realm to fight them, isn't that like throwing eggs against rocks?

However, the seven or eight alien corpses that Yun Jie took out were not enough to distribute among the 5,000-strong army, which was why he had only rewarded those who performed well.

People are like this: they are not worried about scarcity but about inequality. If we don't give according to performance and just give to one group of people, what about the other group? Won't they have objections?

Yes! Absolutely!

As the saying goes, it's not scarcity that's the problem, but inequality. Even if you can forcefully suppress it at the beginning, in the long run, it will be difficult to win people's hearts.

However, these are no longer Yun Jie's headaches; let Qin Guang and Zhou Tianqi worry about them!

Perfect timing! With Zhou Tianqi away, I can secretly improve my cultivation. Although I need to wait for Qin Guang to teach me the Warrior Path, I can improve the Civilization Master Path!

Moreover, with so many divine apertures opened at once, my sea of ​​will is almost full!

It's perfect time to cultivate the "Expanding Spirit Technique," an excellent method for cultivating willpower. It can both compress willpower and expand the sea of ​​will. Moreover, it can be used to hone both divine runes and literary weapons. Su Yu was greatly enhanced by it!

Otherwise, why would everyone say that Zhao Li is Su Yu's true teacher, and not Liu Wenyan or Bai Feng? The "Expanding Spirit Technique" played a crucial role in this!

Yun Jie obtained this cultivation technique three months ago through daily check-ins. He dared not practice it until he broke through to the Sky Transformation Realm, because if he were to be hammered back to the early stage of the Nourishing Nature Realm from the peak of the Nourishing Nature Realm, it would be a great loss!

After all, no matter how strong one's self-cultivation is, it is still self-cultivation; and no matter how weak one's levitation is, it is still levitation. The two are not comparable!

Besides, he can still cultivate the "Expanding Spirit Technique" once he reaches the Sky Realm. Recently, his willpower has surged, making it perfect for cultivation. Since he has already broken through to the Sky Realm, there's no rush for the rest.

Yun Jie is currently at the third level of the Sky Soaring Realm. He plans to hammer himself back to the first level of the Sky Soaring Realm. He needs to compress his willpower and expand his sea of ​​willpower. Ideally, he should be at the Sky Soaring Realm, which is neither too high nor too low, and he already has the ability to protect himself.

Moreover, it's not difficult to advance to the Sky Soaring Realm. If Yun Jie were to wait until he reached the Sun Moon Realm or the Mountain and Sea Realm, he wouldn't be willing to do it. The further one progresses, the more difficult it becomes to advance, and the longer it takes. It would be a losing proposition!

……

PS:

As I was writing, I realized that the Battle of the Heavens began 500 years before the start of the story!

In other words, there were nearly 150 years before the Anping calendar!

This seems to conflict quite a bit with my plans for the next fifty or sixty years...

Should I change it?

Chapter 29 A Glimmer of Hope [Please Donate! Please Add to Favorites!]

The next morning.

Qin Guang and Zhou Tianqi changed into military uniforms.

Five thousand soldiers, fully equipped and ready to go, stood in neat rows, with five hundred soldiers forming a square, quietly standing in the training ground.

This training ground was built six months ago, covering an area of ​​25 square meters, and it was staffed by these five thousand soldiers.

Yun Jie also offered some suggestions regarding the training methods for soldiers, which were nothing more than copying the military training methods from his previous life. I won't go into details here, as anyone who has experienced military training knows this.
