Chapter 380 Chapter 377: The calm before the storm
The sky is empty,
Inside the reception hall.

Chu Zhou looked at the Immortal Jie Yin and said, “Immortal, are you not going to intervene in the fights between the Heavenly Court messengers?”

“No matter what, we are all under the command of the Ancient Heavenly Court. Isn’t it a bad idea to kill each other like this?”

The immortal Jie Yin did not hide his expression, his eyes were almost rolling up to the sky.

“You are all adults now and are responsible for your own actions. I, the Heavenly Court, only teach you. As for how to act, that is your own business.”

At this point, the Great Immortal Jie Yin’s expression became even more serious: “Last time, Saint Zhong Kui should have told you something.

In fact, we have all been revered as ancient, and the five great powers have existed for nearly 50,000 years.”

“But you should know that when the lifespan is so long that it is measured in tens of thousands of years, the channels for ascending will be controlled layer by layer, so that the immortals will always be immortals, and mortals will no longer have a chance.”

“This is something that the being in the High Heaven Palace does not want to see. Therefore, he has recruited us old antiques to make use of our remaining energy.”

“So, you have a chance. You can even say that the Immortal Realm Method is the greatest opportunity in your life, bar none.”

“If, I mean if, if you can reach a high enough level, you will be qualified to face the five major forces directly.”

“You will be the catfish that stirs up this stagnant water. Of course, whether you can do it or not, and how far you can go, is up to you.”

“We are just a helper on your way forward, or we provide a relatively fair platform.

As for how high you can reach on this platform, that is up to you.”

“So, compared to this, we don’t care about the fights between the Heavenly Court messengers!”

Chu Zhou asked again: “So, the Heavenly Court is really raising us as poisonous insects?”

Obviously, some of Xuanjia’s ideas still took root in Chu Zhou’s mind.

Upon hearing this, the Immortal Jie Yin could not help but sneer, “I’m afraid this idea of ​​yours came from the Hall of Ten Thousand Demons, right?

Only the old guys in the Ten Thousand Demons Palace like to use this idea to scare you little guys.”

“However, if you want me to answer, I can only say that the Ancient Heaven Court disdained to do so.

But isn’t the truth of this universe a dark forest where the strong prey on the weak? “

“If you want to reach that height, you must defeat all enemies along the way!”

“So, what are you struggling with?”

Chu Zhou suddenly realized what was going on. He was silent for a moment, then took a step back, bowed, and said, “Thank you for your guidance, Immortal!”

The Immortal Jieyin regained his casual expression, and said with a ‘hehehehe’ smile: “Then don’t just say thank you, buy a few courses and learn them.

With me, you can never suffer a loss or be deceived, and it is always worth having. “

The way this course is marketed is really natural!

However, Chu Zhou did not refuse, but asked the Immortal Jie Yin to help him choose, and finally chose a very expensive course.

This course is called “Real Record of Fighting”!
To put it bluntly, what we teach you is how to fight, how to fight in practice, how to use your own advantages, and how to find the enemy’s weaknesses.

In the end, how to win the final victory at the lowest cost!

The teaching method of this course is very simple, with different enemies, different environments, and different weather conditions, and the two sides will fight against each other.

Since we can’t die anyway, just beat them to death!
Chu Zhou had met powerful ones and was abused badly by them, and he had also met weak ones and was abused badly by them.

At the beginning, Chu Zhou was still able to analyze the situation calmly, but later on, the endless fighting made him numb.

Clearing his mind of distractions and allowing only his fighting instinct to prevail, his methods became more and more direct.

Of course, if it stops here, it would not be worthy of the high merit points.

Therefore, the teacher of this course, who is known as ‘Gan Lang Xing’, will also analyze his own weaknesses for him and provide areas that need to be improved.

Chu Zhou felt that this part of the instruction was the reason why the course was so expensive.

……

While Chu Zhou was studying, preparations for the competition were also in full swing.

The personnel were the first to arrive. They were the soldiers and immortal cultivators who had just come down from the battlefield and whose fighting instincts had not yet been worn away by time.

Almost as soon as the order was delivered, most of the soldiers and immortal cultivators had gathered. They also started learning and training on some requirements for naval warfare, special equipment, and corresponding techniques.

Then there is Dayan’s southern border, where the long coastline has been completely cleared.

Inland from the coastline, a thousand miles of fertile land has become the designated battlefield.

The All-People Alliance has mobilized sufficient resources and manpower to launch various infrastructure projects here.

For example, they built dozens of fortresses, large and small, and constructed layers of defense lines.

Although Chu Zhou wanted to bring the war to the territory of the sea clan, who could be sure of the future war situation?

Therefore, you must prepare everything you need!
If the war goes well, this will be the human race’s material transfer station, equipment maintenance point, and recuperation area for the wounded, a true rear base.

But if the war goes badly, this place will become the first line of resistance against the sea people.

Not to mention the investment of the All Living Beings Alliance, the Great Yan Dynasty has spent countless efforts here.

For them, if the sea tribe really broke through here, it would be equivalent to spreading the war to the country.

That loss would be too great.

It must be said that this dynasty, which was originally old and corrupt, finally experienced a second spring under the tremendous pressure brought by the sea people.

The original sect had relocated a number of times, and this time the sea clan was coming, and this place was about to become a battlefield, causing another wave of aristocratic families to abandon their homes and businesses and move to other places.

Although the Great Yan Dynasty released them, it also took away a large amount of wealth from them.

Moreover, their departure completely liberated the land and freed up enough space.

Although the overall strength of the Great Yan Dynasty has declined significantly, the newly promoted children from poor families are more energetic and motivated.

In order to maintain their current power and status and for the future of the entire Great Yan Dynasty, they work much harder than those who just sit in their positions and do nothing.

Not to mention the specific policies, they even came up with a plan called “Flood Dam”, which was approved by the Alliance of All Beings and invested in infrastructure.

To put it simply, they planned out a number of artificial lakes of varying sizes on the thousands of miles of fertile land in the south, connected by a series of dams.

Normally, the water storage capacity of this artificial lake is obviously insufficient. However, whenever the sea creatures attack, huge waves will inevitably be created.

By then, these artificial lakes will be able to play a role and sufficient water will be accumulated in the low-lying areas.

If it exceeds the limit, then we will open the ‘flood spillway’ or blow it up directly to allow the seawater to flow back into the ocean.

In this way, the newly built fortresses, as well as the cities and fertile fields in the rear, can be protected to the greatest extent.

During this large-scale construction, Xuanzhen Dao Palace was not left behind. Chu Zhou searched for a long time in Wanxian City and found a super-large defensive formation. He also sent disciples from Xuanzhen Palace to set it up on the border.

This is a mountain protection formation called “Shui Mu Nian Hua”, and its strength is not very high.

However, with the help of water magic, it can be transformed into a thick fog that stretches for thousands of miles. Unless the core of the formation is destroyed, it cannot be dispersed.

When people are in it, it will naturally block the detection of spiritual consciousness, and it can also make people lose their way and unable to find their way back.

And in the thick fog, countless aggressive wood plants grew using the method of “water giving birth to wood”.

Or barbs, or corrosion, or binding, or poison…

The lethality is just that, but it is definitely annoying!

It is obviously unrealistic to use this formation to stop the sea clan army, but it can be delayed for enough time.

Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that along with the capture and torture of the sea people, some information about the mermaid country also appeared in the vision of the All Living Beings Alliance.
The world of sea creatures and the endless ocean actually have a very large area, almost to the point of exaggeration.

Although there are some islands on the sea level, they are just for embellishment at most.

Real sea creatures are almost all active in the ocean!
Although there are undulating mountains and underground spiritual veins there, they are often very deep and are not accessible to ordinary sea creatures, let alone building nests and practicing.

But the world of the sea clan also has its special features!

There, there is an endless abyss, like a huge funnel that can swallow countless amounts of sea water. It is called “Guixu”.

There is another type, called “sea eye”, which can spray out countless amounts of water, like a fountain in the water.

This leakage and spraying, swallowing and spitting, formed a huge circulation of spiritual energy, even mixed with a lot of Emperor’s fluid, which could make sea beasts transform into monsters.

Therefore, among the sea people, occupying the eyes of the sea has become of utmost importance and is also the cornerstone of the rise of a race.

There are also the deep-sea monsters, each of whom has an exaggerated size. Even in human form, they are still giants with the power to split mountains and rocks.

There are also some shallow water monsters. Although they no longer have exaggerated physiques, those who can transform into monsters almost all have special features, forming various innate magical powers and are quite powerful.

As for the sea people, their number is actually not small. The main reason is that the area is vast and the environment is complex, so each of them has its own promised land.

Of course, because there are so many sea creatures, there are naturally many conflicts.

For a long time, there were frequent fights in the sea. In order to fight for sea eyes and resources, people’s brains were used up like dogs’.

Over time, some demon tribes naturally took advantage of the situation and formed powerful demon kingdoms, such as the Sea Dragon Kingdom.

The so-called sea dragons are just a group of sea snakes that have turned into monsters.

Although he has some true dragon blood and some magical powers, he has become even stronger.

Of course, in Chu Zhou’s opinion, even at the level of the South China Sea Dragon King, at most he was just a lowest-level Panlong that had broken away from the body of a dragon.

But just these have made the Sea Dragon Kingdom a powerful country in the sea, with a history of thousands and tens of thousands of years.

However, after the rise of the Mermaid Kingdom, they became the target of attack and declined even more quickly.

Mermaids are actually not uncommon in the sea. It is said that they were once humans who entered the water and continued to evolve.

With gills, flippers and tails, they can breathe freely in the sea and reproduce and grow.

Similar to the barbarian tribes in the world of ice and snow, it is the result of natural selection.

Of course, the reason why this saying came out is largely because mermaids and humans have similarities, that is, they are born with intelligence.

Even the weakest mermaids are smart. They have writing, language, heritage, and they live in tribes based on families.

As for other monsters, they can only become as smart as humans after they transform.

Because of this, the mermaids were actually not welcomed by the sea people and were the targets of bullying for a long time.

Those powerful sea creatures would keep them in captivity and use them as food like livestock.

Until the mermaid Xuanjia stood up!
No one knew his background, and no one knew his heritage, but when he appeared, he was like the blazing sun, unifying an area of ​​sea and turning it into a sea demon kingdom.

With this as his banner, he gained the allegiance of countless mermaid tribes and became the leader of the mermaids.

Of course, such a high profile also caused dissatisfaction among other sea nations.

For a long time, in order to curb the development of the Mermaid Kingdom, they almost put all their efforts into attacking the Mermaid Kingdom.

The war lasted for hundreds of years. In the beginning, one or two sea nations took action, then they attacked from all sides, and later, the sea nations even formed a coalition and fought endlessly.

Although the Mermaid Kingdom paid a huge price and suffered heavy casualties, after a hundred years of war, the Mermaid Kingdom defeated almost all of these sea powers one by one.

At the beginning, they even adopted a policy of extermination. Wherever they went, they killed, burned and robbed all the hostile sea creatures.

It was not until later, when many sea nations surrendered, that they showed mercy.

This is how the Sea Dragon Kingdom survived, but their sphere of influence is much weaker than when they were at their peak.

Of course, it is said that three heroes make a hero, and no matter how powerful Xuanjia is, he is just a monster.

The reason why he could conquer the entire sea clan world without any rivals was largely because he had two equally powerful brothers.

No one knows their specific identities, and no one has ever seen their appearance.

In other words, whenever these two took action in a crisis, the enemy was almost always annihilated.

In this way, the entire demon world was almost completely ruled by the Mermaid Kingdom.

The power created by the three Xuanjia brothers actually has a name, which is called the Palace of the Three Kings.

When Chu Zhou heard the news, he was a little bit unbelievable.

It is nothing to say that Xuanjia is one of the three brothers, but the problem is that Xuanjia himself is a messenger from heaven, and his cultivation speed must be very fast.

If his two brothers could keep up with his cultivation level, which even the ‘Hong Meng Purple Qi Method’ couldn’t do, they must be the same messengers from Heaven.

If these three brothers are really messengers from heaven, then their luck is really too good.

Finally, he shook his head and threw the idea away. Even if it was just a guess, he felt that his guess was unreliable.

However, what is certain is that there are two other strong people who are almost as powerful as Xuanjia.

On the human side, even if the Ice Luan and Rainbow are counted, there are only two of them. If a fight really breaks out, I’m afraid they will not be at an advantage.

This is definitely something to be aware of, and it’s best to be prepared to deal with it.

Of course, during the period of preparation for war, although there was a lot of news and a large turnover of personnel, there had really been no attacks since the last invasion by the sea tribe.

But everyone could feel that it was just the calm before the storm, as if an even bigger storm was brewing.
