One day later, Tianzhu Mountain returned to calm again.
Almost no one of the disciples was injured, but their mana was greatly exhausted and they were all practicing their skills.
The broken ground on the mountain top and the houses and palaces with many bricks and tiles falling off were also repaired by craftsmen.
Only the four seriously injured elders had to retreat for several months to recover.
Other than that, everything is back to normal and in order.
Ji Tianxing and Taoist Huanglong got busy, and they wanted to jointly set up several holy-level formations.
Two of the holy formations are to strengthen defense, and the other two are to assist the sky formation.
This is a huge and complicated project that cannot be completed in less than ten days.
Moreover, it also consumes a large amount of spiritual stones and resources.
Fortunately, Tianzhu Mountain is becoming more and more prosperous, and there is some surplus in the treasure house, which is enough for Ji Tianxing to build several large formations.
Ten days later, all four holy formations were completed.
Ji Tianxing spent another day connecting the Star Divine Furnace and the Sky Formation.
In this way, the 108 peaks in Tianzhu Mountain, forming the Tiangang and Disha formations, continuously provide power for the Star Divine Furnace.
And the Star Divine Furnace transfers its power to the Sky Formation, so that the power of the Sky Formation will never be exhausted.
Unless someone can destroy Tiangang and the Earthly Evil Formation, Tianzhu Mountain will gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a million miles around and become an indestructible fortress.
Even if the Martial God comes in person, he may not be able to break Tianzhu Mountain!
After taking care of the defensive formation, Ji Tianxing entered the Star Divine Furnace again.
After the battleship bombardment of Tianzhu Mountain, he became more and more aware of the critical situation and the pressure increased sharply.
He just wants to smelt the phantom star core as soon as possible, and then use the Nine Heavens Divine Cauldron in the Divine Weapon Pavilion to help upgrade the Heavenly Sword into a divine weapon.
Only if the Heavenly Burial Sword becomes a divine weapon can he be qualified to compete with An Yu and the Ancestor Demon God.
To his relief, Qianyue and Heilong were not lazy.
They have both mastered the techniques he gave them, and are concentrating on smelting the phantom star core.
After more than a month of smelting, the phantom star core has obviously shrunk in size, remaining only 180 miles long.
The surface of the star core, which was originally as dark as ink, also lit up with silver light and was regaining its luster.
Ji Tianxing encouraged Qianyue and Heilong, and personally used secret techniques to smelt the star core with all his strength.
Although, he estimated that it would only take three years to successfully smelt the star core.
But he couldn't wait any longer. Three years was still too long.
If a miracle happened, he really hoped that the star core would be successfully smelted tomorrow.
…
South of Beiming Mountain.
In Baiyuan City in Jingshan Region.
In the majestic city lord's mansion and An Yu's study.
He was standing by the window, looking out the window with deep eyes and a gloomy expression.
In the study, the guard captain in black armor stood respectfully, not daring to show his anger.
The guard captain's left front hoof and right hind hoof were cut off, leaving only two legs on the ground, which looked particularly funny.
When he escaped back to Baiyuan City before, his injuries were even more miserable and he was in extreme embarrassment.
After ten days of self-cultivation and breathing adjustment, his injuries stabilized and his strength returned to 60%.
After a long silence, An Yucai said to himself in a foreign language in a low voice: "I didn't expect that the leader of Tianzhu Mountain, Ji Tianxing, who massacred millions of demons, is that guy!
After not seeing each other for more than two months, his strength has increased several times, which is simply a miracle!
No wonder Ling Xuan asked me to kill Ji Tianxing before agreeing to cooperate.
That boy is indeed extraordinary. He only has the strength of the Martial Saint Realm, but he is invincible in the Martial Saint Realm.
I only regret that I didn't take him seriously in the first place and let him escape with his life.
If we had killed him on the spot on the Phantom Star Core, how could these incidents have happened!"
The guard captain quickly lowered his head and said with full of self-blame: "Sir, my subordinates underestimated the enemy and were careless, which led to the failure of the operation and the death of four guards.
Fortunately, my subordinates were able to escape alive by piloting your Wolf Fang battleship.
Now that we know the details of Ji Tianxing, we will never miss the next time we take action!"
An Yu shook his head, with a sneer on his face, and said in a deep voice: "No, since we have already failed once, we cannot rush to attack a second time.
Ling Xuan is so despicable that he wants to kill two birds with one stone by using us to help him eliminate powerful enemies.
It can not only get rid of Ji Tianxing, but also weaken our strength."
The guard captain understood what he meant, nodded and said: "Yes, we are sparsely manned, with only 80 guards, we must not sacrifice easily.
Every time a guard dies, it is a huge loss for us.
Sir, what are your next steps?
Should we just leave Tianzhu Mountain alone?"
An Yu shook his head again and said in a low tone: "Of course not! Seventy-two cities and Tianzhu Mountain, I have to decide! Especially Tianzhu Mountain!
I have been reading the history of Shenwu Continent recently and found something very interesting.
The founder of Tianzhu Mountain was the strongest man in the mainland more than a thousand years ago and was known as the Sword God.
Moreover, this world has been sealed by the gods, and no one has been able to ascend for tens of thousands of years.
Only the sword god successfully ascended to the divine realm.
But for some unknown reason, the sword god died thousands of years ago.
Ji Tianxing, who now controls Tianzhu Mountain, is said to be the reincarnation of the Sword God, which is why he is such a monster."
The guard captain suddenly frowned and his expression became very strange.
"This world has been sealed by the gods? No wonder there is a golden barrier on the surface of the stars to block our intrusion.
But why is this world sealed?
Ascension to the divine realm is a great temptation for people in this world.
But for us, this is completely unattractive."
An Yu showed a meaningful smile and said in a playful tone: "Yes, for the Fatian Clan, the starry sky is the sea, and we are the hunters fighting against the wind and waves.
As long as your strength exceeds the virtual god realm, you can successfully ascend to the god realm.
But for people in this world, no matter how powerful they are, they will never be able to ascend.
Just imagine if I could show them a clear path and give them a chance to ascend to the divine realm.
Do you think they will be so grateful that they can be used by me?"
Hearing this, the guard captain suddenly realized, and his eyes suddenly shone.
"Yes! Your Excellency is so clever!
Among the powerful men in this world, no one has been able to ascend in tens of thousands of years. They have no idea about the situation in the divine world and have an extremely persistent desire for the divine realm.
If you can take advantage of this, you can achieve great results!"
"Hahaha..." An Yu sneered proudly and said in a playful tone: "This world is very special, more interesting than the worlds we have conquered!
I have decided to completely occupy this world, plunder all its resources, and study its mysteries!"
After a pause, his tone became serious, and then he continued: "However, this plan needs to be implemented gradually and cannot be rushed.
What we need to do now is to negotiate with the demons again!"
