Faced with Zhang Hao's sudden turn of events, Bai Ye blinked and coughed twice before saying slowly:
"Junior brother, this question... Actually... it's really hard to answer. To be honest, senior brother, I'm only at the stage of becoming gods.
However, I vaguely heard a saying that the spiritual energy in our world can only support the transformation stage at best.
Once you pass the stage of becoming a god, you will need higher-level spiritual energy. But for the time being, you can't find any higher-level spiritual energy at all.
Therefore, after passing the stage of spiritual transformation, everyone seems to be in retreat; unless the sect is facing a crisis, it will generally not take action."
Zhang Hao's eyes suddenly brightened: "Is the news reliable?"
"Why are you asking?"
"The Kuodi Elephant!" Zhang Hao said, "I've been wondering, who painted the Kuodi Elephant?"
"It must have been painted by a master in the transformation stage!" Bai Ye said casually.
"No! It must not be!" Zhang Hao said categorically, "My master's family was silenced because of this Kuo Di Xiang. Later, it was reported that the Kuo Di Xiang was related to the Nine Immortals Mountain overseas, which caused a great sensation.
If the Kuodixiang was created during the Transformation Stage, the incident at Jiuxian Mountain overseas would not have caused such a sensation.
Because the country of Qixia all has the stage of transformation into gods, and many Western countries also have it. Why didn't they explore the overseas Nine Immortals Mountains? If they had explored, the map of the overseas Nine Immortals Mountains would no longer be a secret, and it would not have caused a sensation!
Obviously, this is contradictory.
My conclusion is: those in the Transformation Stage obviously didn’t explore it, and these phenomena were not created by the Transformation Stage!”
Bai Ye was stunned for a moment. Yes, that's the truth. "Junior brother is right. This matter... I need to think about it, and maybe ask the sect about it."
"I thought Yeyuelou knew everything."
"We are humans after all, not immortals!" Bai Ye returned to his smiling expression, "Junior brother, what do you think of joining the gang I just mentioned?"
"Why Yeyue Tower? Not Xingtang, let alone Xuanzhen Sect?"
"Oh, junior brother, didn't I say it before? There are three holy places in this Fertile Continent, and everyone is quarreling with each other. Therefore, some things are only suitable for secret planning. For example, our Yeyue Tower."
"But I don't believe that other holy places, or even various countries, don't know that the proprietor behind Yeyue Tower is the Xuanzhen Sect. Senior brother, you are a typical cover-up."
"Hey, junior brother, you are really right! This is the way it is.
To be precise, Yeyue Tower is just a trading company founded by a few masters from the Xuanzhen Sect; this trading company actually has nothing to do with the Xuanzhen Sect."
Zhang Hao frowned, but gradually understood: the subordinates of subordinates are not your subordinates!
After thinking for a while, Zhang Hao asked: "Since this Yeyue Tower is not taught by Xuanzhen, what can it bring to the great voyage?"
"Intelligence! Protection! Junior brother, if you do such a big thing, I believe there must be a lot of rats; and Yeyuelou specializes in catching rats. Also, Yeyuelou is the best at all kinds of assassinations, poisoning, etc.
An organization needs two forces. One is on the surface, and the other is secretly. Yeyue Tower will secretly escort the great navigation plan.
There are now more than 30 Yuanying Stage masters directly under Yeyue Tower; there are more than 100 Yuanying Stage masters in name. How is this power?"
Zhang Hao was a little surprised: "This power is enough to conquer a county."
"No, junior brother hasn't calculated the sneak attack capabilities of the killers yet."
"Okay, okay, welcome senior brother and Yeyuelou to join the great voyage plan. To be honest, I was worried about protection issues before. But why did senior brother just speak up now?"
"Because I am only a deacon from Yeyue Tower and the Kingdom of Qixia, and I need to report the situation here to the superiors."
Zhang Hao then nodded. "Brother, please go to the Zhang family in Changshan Town tomorrow. The rest of the people will also arrive by then, and we will discuss the share issue again.
Moreover, the Zhang family has already built a ten-meter-sized iron ship model. Tomorrow, senior brother will be able to see it and have a preliminary appreciation of the majesty of the steel ship."
"How dare you call it majestic when it's ten meters tall?" Bai Ye expressed doubts.
"We'll know tomorrow!" Zhang Hao had a confident smile on his face.
…………
Dawn comes little by little, and the morning sun rises little by little. On the border between the Kingdom of Qixia and the Kingdom of Jinyang, the brutal war has lasted for 8 hours without any interruption.
The Emperor of Qixia Kingdom is still personally supervising the battle from high altitude; Su Jianzhong is responsible for the specific military command; Wu Fanghai has already arrived, but for the time being he can only provide guidance from the side.
Once a war begins, the commander-in-chief will not be changed "immediately" unless it is absolutely necessary.
At the moment when the morning sun rose, Wu Fanghai issued a warning to Su Jianzhong. The sunlight at this time was very dazzling and was not conducive to the country of Qixia.
Su Jianzhong looked up at the sky, but had his own thoughts: "The enemy will definitely think that this is a good opportunity to attack, and we will be at a disadvantage because we are facing the sun.
But I think this is an opportunity that, if used properly, can deliver a fatal blow to the enemy."
"Oh? What are you going to do?" Wu Fanghai did not deny it immediately. In fact, he wanted to say: You should play it slow and steady now; winning by surprise is a good word, but not everyone has the ability to achieve it!
Su Jianzhong was full of confidence: "We will pretend to retreat and defend first. When the enemy approaches, we will fire thousands of arrows. Under the cover of bows and arrows, the legion will rush out of the checkpoint and will surely catch the opponent by surprise."
Wu Fanghai frowned: "This is too risky. If you win, that's it. If you fail, the consequences..."
"General, your concerns are right. But the current situation, if we don't take risks, it will be a protracted war. And here, we are already very short of pills, etc.!"
Wu Fanghai's face turned solemn. Yes, because of the credit of the previous Minister of Household Affairs, there is now a problem with the supply of elixirs to the Kingdom of Qixia; and because of the cutoff of the Eastern trade routes, and the previous war to support the Kingdom of Jinyang
', the country of Qixia is very tired now.
If the stalemate continues, the Qixia Kingdom's army will become increasingly exhausted and will not get enough rest.
However, Wu Fanghai still had some concerns, but Su Jianzhong couldn't wait any longer - the opportunity was fleeting, so he gave the order.
The war was going smoothly. When the troops of Qixia Kingdom suddenly rushed out, Jinyang Kingdom was in chaos, and the more than 100,000 troops in the vanguard were defeated.
Faced with such a great victory, Su Jianzhong ignored Wu Fanghai's obstruction and ordered the army to go out to pursue the enemy.
The victory boosted morale, and the Emperor of Qixia Kingdom finally flew out of the city wall.
However, at this moment, under the cover of a corpse and using an invisibility technique, Zhao Yue, the divine archer of the Kingdom of Jinyang, slowly opened his bow and drew an arrow.
He clenched his teeth tightly, and there was blood running down his mouth. This 'big defeat' was a cover, and the lives of a hundred thousand elites were used as a cover, just to allow himself to shoot this arrow!
Zhao Yue stared at the target. Gradually, the world seemed to disappear. The screaming battlefield faded away. In his eyes, he only saw the Emperor of Qixia Kingdom.
At this moment! Zhao Yue suddenly let go.
"Buzz..." The bowstring trembled, and the soul-chasing arrow turned into a flash of cold light and disappeared like lightning. After the arrow flew away for a while, a scream came from the air.
Su Jianzhong did not move. He stared at the arrow closely and waited quietly.
