Wang Daoyuan thought about it again and felt that it was a bit outrageous.
Yinglong Dragon Ball is of great value to him. Once he can successfully refine it, his strength will definitely improve greatly.
In the big chess game of Qianyuan Realm, you are the most important chess piece.
And if you want your chess piece to play its due role, you need to be strong enough.
But if you are too strong, you may jump out of the chessboard.
For chess players, this is not a good thing either.
"Xuan Yuan, why did you say that the Tribulation Array Immortal left this thing to me?
My strength is too strong, won’t I be out of his control?”
Xuanyuan thought for a long time before saying: "Master, have you forgotten that the place where the Lingzhu was born was trapped?
According to our previous speculation, your growth rate was too fast. Before you could achieve great power, you were already two thousand years faster than the Tribulation-preventing Array Immortal expected.
Based on the arrangement of the chess player, when the demons invade, your strength will definitely be difficult to cope with.
If you want to defeat the demons, the Qianyuan Realm must have a leader who is strong enough.
At that time, you have only two choices. One is to forcibly improve your cultivation level so that your strength is not weaker than the strongest of the invading demons.
The second is that the Qianyuan Realm does not have a strong enough spiritual support and cannot fight against the demons.
If you get to that point, how should you act?"
Wang Daoyuan said without hesitation: "If we really get to that point, retreating will involve the entire Qianyuan world, so we can only bite the bullet and forcibly increase our strength."
Xuanyuan gave a thumbs up: "The little turtle admires my master for sacrificing his own future for the Qianyuan Realm."
Wang Daoyuan waved his hand: "It's natural. Since we have been pushed to that position and there is no way out, we can only fight hard."
Xuanyuan continued: "You got the Hunyuan Purple Liquid and the Chaos Stone before. These things were arranged by the Immortal of the Tribulation Array to help you quickly improve your cultivation.
There are a lot of precious resources, as well as Yinglong Dragon Balls, and there will even be more good things in the future.
It shouldn't be a problem to upgrade your cultivation to the realm of five or six true immortals.
But once you take this path, the journey is over, and it will be difficult to go further in the future.
A true immortal of the fifth and sixth realms poses no threat to the chess player.
At that time, you are not at their mercy.
As for this Yinglong Pearl, it cannot directly help you improve your cultivation.
I guess the chess player is worried that your cultivation level is not high enough and your strength is not strong enough to deal with the masters of the demon race, so he gave you a way to improve your combat power."
"These things left behind by the Immortal of the Tribulation Array are treasures, and they are also poisons that will cut off your path.
However, your cultivation speed is so fast that it exceeds the expectations of the chess player, so these arrangements are completely a benefit to you."
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "At present, it seems that this possibility is the greatest.
It's just that I'm a little surprised. Everything we encounter related to the chess game seems to have been arranged by the Immortal of the Tribulation Array.
What did the other chess player do? Could it be that he just arranged for the idiot Qiyao Old Ghost and intervened when Jue Tianyuan was cut out?"
…
Xuanyuan shook his head: "It's hard to talk about this matter. Maybe they didn't make any arrangements and just followed the trend.
It’s also possible that all the arrangements are hidden deep down and will only be activated when the right opportunity comes.”
"Well, ever since I found out I was a chess piece, I feel like there are countless layers of airtight nets around me.
No matter how hard I try, I can't break through this network.
The higher your cultivation level, the stronger this feeling will be.
Thinking about these things now will only increase your worries.
It’s better not to consider these things and just take it one step at a time.”
"By the way, you cannot sense the way of heaven in the spirit bead space, so there may be problems in your cultivation.
It might be dangerous if you stay outside.
Especially Dahei, he is likely to be targeted by some people with ulterior motives outside.
Xuanyuan doesn't need to be like this. Immortal Creation Array owes you a big favor, and no one dares to touch you.
From now on, you will practice in the secret realm in this painting. I will place the screen in Yinglong's belly, so that it will not delay your ability to sense the way of heaven.
The only shortcoming is that there is no time flow rate of more than two hundred times in the spirit bead space."
Dahei looked indifferent: "Second Young Master, if you look at the arrangement, it will be the same wherever I am."
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "That's good. Since you can't touch the Ying Longzhu now, there's no need to stay here."
After that, he took Xuanyuan and Dahei out of the secret realm in the painting and returned to the spirit bead space.
He came to Zhou Luan's side: "Your Highness, the spirit bead can now completely isolate the influence of heaven.
In your situation, if you continue to stay in the spirit bead space, your cultivation level will not improve at all.
Therefore, I want you to enter the secret realm of the painting.
There are ninth-level spiritual veins there, and it will be easier for you to improve your cultivation there."
Zhou Luan nodded: "It's up to you. I thought that coming to the south of the Qianyuan Realm was a self-made career, and I can also help you work hard together.
I didn't expect you to open up the situation so quickly, and I couldn't even help you.
Now, my cultivation has reached the limit of my talent, and it is difficult to make any further progress.
The top powerful cultivation level will not be able to help you on the battlefield in the future.
Since it is the secret realm in the painting, there must be some resources and industries in it, so I will help you take care of those industries and try my best to be a good housekeeper."
Wang Daoyuan took out an animal skin book: "The secret realm in the painting is extremely vast, and there are many resources in it.
Now I plan to build a demon expedition fortress, which requires a lot of eighth-level weapon refining materials.
Exploiting the resources in the secret realm can solve the problem of refining materials.
This is the expedition fortress refining method, and what materials are required are all recorded in it."
Zhou Luan took the animal skin book and said, "Don't worry, I will help you find enough materials for refining."
Wang Daoyuan explained again: "There are many things in the secret realm in this painting that cannot be messed with. If you encounter some weird things, be sure not to explore them."
Zhou Luan waved his hand: "Don't worry, I was the shadow master of Blood Shadow back then. I managed such a large force and nothing happened. Now that I am the leader of mining, can there be any problems?"
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "As long as you know the severity, if there are problems that can't be solved, just call me loudly.
…
That portable secret realm has recognized its owner, I can sense it.
After suppressing the old thief Qiyao, I will refuse a trip to the north of Tianyuan and move some tribesmen into the secret realm in the painting so that they can develop the resources in the secret realm.
It's a pity that no one can control the old thief Qiyao now. The last time the Creation Formation Immortal and several third-level Earth Immortals joined forces, they couldn't take much advantage.
I don’t dare to show up easily now, let alone go back to the north of Juetian Abyss, lest I injure the people there.”
Zhou Luan was a little sad: "After staying in the spirit space for so many years, I really miss the children."
Wang Daoyuan patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, it won't be long before we can go back and take a look."
After comforting Zhou Luan for a few more words, he sent her to the secret realm in the painting.
Dahei also went in together. With him on guard, there was no need to worry about any tricks hidden in the secret area of the painting.
Even Mo Long and Wang Minglong were sent into the secret realm in the painting.
These two guys have stayed at the peak of the sixth level for many years, and Wang Daoyuan has never found the time to help them break through.
Now let them leave the spirit bead space, and they should be able to break through soon.
After sending Zhou Luan and Dahei away, Xuanyuan asked: "Master, building an expedition fortress is not an easy task.
The little turtle's cultivation level is too low, and his attainments in formations and weapon refining are not enough.
It would probably take you, the master, thousands of years to complete it.
Why not bring out the refining method of this expedition fortress and let the Creation Array Immortal recruit people to refine it together?
In this way, we can save materials and effort.”
Wang Daoyuan chuckled: "You were also smart and confused for a while, and now you come up with the refining method of the expedition fortress.
Even if I refine the expedition fortress, how much credit can I get?
If I want to be the leader of the human race, I can't just rely on the name of a destined son.
You also need to have enough strength and merit.
If I hold this thing in my hand and then take it out when my cultivation reaches the level of True Immortal and I am qualified to replace the Formation Immortal, then all the credit will be mine.
If I can defeat the old thief Qiyao through this, it will be a smooth process for me to become the leader of the Tiandao Alliance."
"Besides, if we take out the expedition fortress now, the old thief Qiyao won't be able to hold on for long, and he will be completely defeated.
Once he loses, the Tiandao Alliance will have no opponent and there will be no need for its existence.
Once the Tiandao Alliance is disbanded, how much time will it take if I want to recruit such a large number of people again?"
"Besides, I also need time to stabilize my immortal body.
It’s not a big deal to spend a little more time.”
Xuanyuan cupped his hands and said: "The master has a foresighted plan, and the little turtle is ashamed of himself."
Wang Daoyuan threw a few books to him casually: "Stop talking nonsense and help me refine some mining puppets.
With an area as large as the secret realm in the painting, it would be impossible for Zhou Luan himself to develop many resources.
If we don't have enough manpower, we'll use puppets first.
If I have a chance in the future, I will ask my ancestors to order the people from Purple Thunder Mountain."
Just when Xuanyuan thought about pretending to be stupid, Wang Daoyuan said coldly: "Refining the puppet or refining the expedition fortress, you have to choose one."
Xuanyuan carefully probed: "Is there a third way?"
…
Wang Daoyuan nodded: "Of course, turtle soup."
Xuanyuan gave up on the spot: "Master, don't worry, refining the sixth-level mining puppet is just a trivial matter for the little turtle."
After that, he held the animal skin book and ran to the Forging Immortal Cauldron in a hurry.
Wang Daoyuan took out a golden book and read it carefully.
What is recorded in this golden book is exactly the refining method of the Expeditionary Fortress.
To be precise, it should be the refining method deduced by the fairy world through studying the demon expedition to the fortress.
However, this refining method is still reliable.
The fairy world also used this to refine the expedition fortress, and it could compete with the original version of the demon clan.
If the fairy world wants to refine the expedition fortress, naturally it cannot use the unique weapon refining materials from the demons.
Among the refining methods recorded in the Golden Book, the most important material for refining the expedition fortress is iron stone crystal.
In the secret area of the painting, there are several veins of iron stone crystals.
The iron and stone crystals in it have been dug out, and it is more than enough for dozens of expedition fortresses, let alone one expedition fortress.
However, mining iron stone crystals also requires a lot of effort.
Because each expedition fortress comes with a secret realm, space materials are naturally indispensable.
There are also hollow willows in the secret realm of the Kongming Stone Mine. There were many hollow willows planted in the Lingzhu Space before.
Previously, there were no high-level spiritual veins in the spirit bead space, and the hollow willow grew very slowly.
Later, after I broke through to the Mahayana realm, the growth rate of these hollow willows skyrocketed.
So far, the first few hollow willow trees planted have grown to the seventh level.
Breaking through the eighth level will take a long time of accumulation.
The materials for refining the expedition fortress are very sufficient.
While Wang Daoyuan was studying the refining method of the expedition fortress, he also set out to improve his own weapon refining and formation skills.
In order to refine the air-control warship, the level of weapon refining and formations were raised to the seventh level through the space turbulence channel.
Due to limitations in cultivation, I cannot go any further.
Now that he has broken through the realm of Earthly Immortal, it is not difficult to break through the eighth level of weapon refining and formation skills.
Without experience, it is absolutely unreliable to directly build a super-large magic weapon like an expedition fortress.
It's best to try to refine a portable secret realm weapon first. It doesn't need to be big, it just needs to be usable.
Refining portable secret realm magic weapons requires extremely high requirements for the art of weapon refining and formations. You can also take this opportunity to hone your skills in refining weapons and formations.
Wang Daoyuan casually took out a few pieces of seventh-grade high-grade Kongming Stone, as well as some other refining materials.
Then he took out a few gold books, copied the gourd and the gourd, and started refining them from scratch.
The portable secret realms from the peak of the seventh level to the low level of the eighth level naturally take a lot of effort to refine.
It took nearly a hundred years to refine a seemingly ordinary ring.
When his spiritual sense penetrated in, he saw that inside the ring was a space of more than ten miles in radius.
In the ring, there is also a seventh-level high-grade magic weapon that serves as the core of the secret realm and communicates with the outside world.
Within the space, a first-order low-grade non-attribute spiritual vein was naturally formed.
This spiritual vein has just been formed, so its grade is naturally not high.
However, being able to form spiritual veins naturally is also one of the characteristics of the secret realm.
As long as the ring is placed in a place with a high concentration of spiritual energy, the spiritual veins in the secret realm will slowly grow.
In the past hundred years, Xuanyuan has not been lazy and refined hundreds of puppets.
Seeing Wang Daoyuan approaching, Xuanyuan immediately saluted: "Master, the little turtle has lived up to everyone's expectations.
In order to refine these hundreds of puppets, my weapon refining skills have been upgraded to the seventh level."
Wang Daoyuan used his spiritual sense to explore these puppets, and then nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, you should be rewarded for refining so many puppets."
Upon hearing the reward, Xuanyuan's eyes lit up: "Master, what do you want to reward me?"
Wang Daoyuan threw the newly refined ring to him: "This is the portable secret realm that I refined with my own hands, and I will give it to you."
When he heard that it was a portable secret realm, Xuanyuan was also a little interested.
He took the ring and examined it with his spiritual sense.
"Master, can you change the reward?
I also have the portable secret realm in my hand, which was left behind by my ancestor, the True Immortal.
I really can’t use your entry-level portable secret realm.”
Wang Daoyuan glanced at him, and then said: "Looking at your cultivation, you are not far from being a top power, so I will reward you with a ten-bearded purple jade dragon ginseng.
If you refine a few more puppets on a daily basis, the benefits will be yours."
Xuanyuan immediately beamed: "Thank you, Master, for the reward."
