Chapter 149 Liu Jianjian's New Skill
Chapter 149 Liu Jianjian's New Skill
Zhu Ge wants elite talent.
We should avoid things like pretending to be something we're not, indulging in eating, drinking, and having fun, and engaging in speculation and profiteering.
What he wanted was a group of people striving for a common goal.
For example, the liberation of the entire human race.
Therefore, those he recruited this time had to pass Hua Liusha's test.
Hua Liusha, who is in the Lone Soul Realm, has almost no strength.
She can only use her bewitching abilities to construct memories for people and then devour their souls.
Moreover, it can only be given to those whose cultivation level is lower than one's own, or to ordinary people.
However, now Hualiusha is in two realms.
In order to avoid becoming a demon of the third realm and instead become a ghost of the third realm, Hua Liusha has always only devoured the ghosts of demonic beasts or other ghosts of the Essence-Seizing Realm.
Now, Hua Liusha has also acquired an ability, which is an upgraded version of bewitching, similar to an illusion.
At that time, Zhu Ge can allow Hua Liusha to use the power of the Fungus God's Annihilation Array to create a large-scale illusion, thereby testing the character of the first batch of people in the Six Paths Palace.
If appropriate, the congratulatory song can attract many disciples.
If it's not suitable?
Even if we don't recruit any, it's fine.
After all, Zhu Ge's purpose in going there this time was to first make a small name for herself.
Want to leave your mark in history?
He lives in seclusion in the valley every day, what's the point of leaving a trace?
Therefore, it is necessary to go out during the blessing ceremony.
Of course, his ultimate goal at present is not Jianshui City.
However, it just so happens that he had previously lured away a demonic beast and had become enemies with Yu Rui.
Furthermore, his second brother, the True Lord of Annihilation, has already made his move in the Southern Wilderness of Myanmar, so he must hurry.
"What? What? The Six Paths Palace?!"
"Huh?! Me, I can also take charge of a palace?"
"Heavens! I've become the master of the Demonic Path Palace?!"
At this moment, Hua Liusha was telling Liu Jianjian a story, which made Liu Jianjian shout and yell the whole time.
"Master!!!" Liu Jianjian rushed over, her face full of sadness, seeing that Zhu Ge had already finished carving the words with the Purgatory Star Staff: "Next time you go to do something like this, you must take me with you!!"
"You gossip, you love to join in the fun, you love to eat melons." Zhu Ge said helplessly, "If they protect each other, and I fight with the Jianshui city officials, you might not survive."
Hearing this, Ma Zhu, who was not far away, couldn't help but shiver.
"I don't care then," Liu Jianjian said expectantly. "I'm very good at protecting myself!"
"Alright, alright, we'll talk about it next time." Zhu Ge shook her head and smiled, "You have dozens of demons under your command now, be more cautious."
"Yes! Dozens!" Liu Jianjian's eyes lit up with excitement as she spoke: "Master, do you know that I can now use some of the moves that are only available in the 'Demon Hunting Divine Technique'?"
"Oh?" Zhu Ge seemed genuinely interested upon hearing this: "What move?"
It should be noted that the "Demon Hunting Divine Technique" was a cultivation method that True Lord Lantern obtained from an unknown source and bestowed upon Liu Jianjian.
Liu Jianjian has gone from only being able to shoot arrows from afar to now having a demon beast residing in every thorn she stabs—a remarkable change.
However, she needs to hone her temperament further; otherwise, how will Liu Jianjian, who is so easily startled, lead the demon palace in the Six Paths Palace in the future?
"I can now transform them into arrows, imbued with some of their power."
Liu Jianjian exclaimed excitedly, "For example, I can launch the spike that the swordsman is attached to, and then use the swordsman's metal body to make the spike even harder!"
"Oh?" Zhu Ge was somewhat surprised, yet also somewhat moved. "It is indeed a good skill. Practice it well and collect more ancient exotic species; it will benefit you as well."
"Mmm!" Liu Jianjian nodded vigorously.
Zhu Ge could foresee that as Liu Jianjian grew, each of her thorns might transform into a powerful spirit-level thorn, or even a so-called true-level thorn.
But that's a story for another time. Right now, the more important thing is to make preparations.
Zhu Ge has been hiding in these Six Valleys for a long time. Now that he has achieved some success, it's time to make a big show of clearing out the surrounding monsters.
"Jianjian, have all your demonic beasts come out and clean up and repair our Six Paths Valley!"
Late at night, Zhu Ge sat at the entrance of the valley, while Liu Jianjian and the others were inside the valley.
Zhu Ge sat at the mouth of the valley, feeling the strong wind on his face.
In reality, he was practicing the "Great Sun Lapis Lazuli Body".
Originally, he could only cultivate in the small wooden house, but after purchasing spiritual herbs from the Dendrobium Pavilion, he was able to cultivate directly in the wind.
Although it only lasts for ten seconds, it is still a good change.
"The Elixir—"
Zhu Ge, having finished his cultivation, opened his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air.
After finishing my training, my whole body ached.
However, his body had a translucent quality.
From skin and flesh to tendons, bones, and internal organs, everything has been refined and polished by the wind, getting closer and closer to the ultimate state of this realm.
Now, Zhu Ge took out the ointment she bought from Dendrobium Pavilion and slowly applied it to the area between her eyebrows.
This plaster is a mid-grade spiritual-level medicine, and it cost several tens of gold coins to buy.
Simply apply it to the center of your forehead, and the ointment will naturally penetrate the skin, nourishing your entire body and enhancing your defenses.
"Next, Feng Lian will only need some time to fully master it."
Zhu Ge looked at her palm, clenched her fist, and could feel her strength increasing.
At the first level, without activating his blood energy, he could already shatter a large bluestone that was seven or eight meters long.
And now?
Zhu Ge could sense that he could smash Jianshan Mountain, where Jianshan Village was located, with a single punch.
This is the true power of a mountain-crushing warrior!
However, Mountain Destruction Warriors generally only reach this level of strength in the late stage of the second realm.
It is said that in the later stages, the Mountain Destroyer Warrior was able to vaguely leverage the power of the Shangyuan Palace, thus making his punches and kicks incredibly powerful.
However, Zhu Ge has reached the same level simply by virtue of his early Mountain Destruction Realm power, which can be said to be entirely due to the strength of his Martial Heart.
This strengthened Zhu Ge's resolve to take things one step at a time, focusing on the future rather than speed or shortcuts.
"Whoosh—"
The sound of wind came, and from high above, the axe-mantis flapped its wings and flew down in front of Zhu Ge.
"Master, I have declared this place my territory and summoned all the Second Realm cultivators here," said the Axe-Mantis. "Master, should I defeat them all and then hand them over to you for subjugation?"
"No need," Zhu Ge smiled.
After being subdued by Liu Jianjian, the mantis was probably terrified that Liu Jianjian would suddenly die.
In that case, they would all be gone too.
Therefore, it's estimated that this axe-mantis would love to protect Liu Jianjian closely all day long, and bring all the demon beasts with it, so that it can be guaranteed.
Unfortunately, the mantis is not very effective at controlling the other creatures on this land.
With the group in disarray and the previous siege of Jianshui City failing, these alien beings naturally stopped paying attention to it.
"By the way, did you bring the Tomoe Kano?"
"Also, where have most of your demonic beasts gone?"
