The area of the Peacock Demon Kingdom is not small, it is 30% larger than the original Hundred Immortals Alliance.
But Xie Qingxue kept his word, and took Divine Firmament Fleet with him, day and night. In less than three months, he carried out an indiscriminate bombing at all costs, swept through the entire Peacock Demon Kingdom, and went straight to the core area of the demon country - Fallen Phoenix Ridge.
"Fallen Phoenix Ridge is the heart of the Peacock Demon Kingdom." Madam Thousand Mechanisms, who was following them, introduced, "It is rumored that Peacock Great Emperor lives here every day, and Demon Race worships it."
Han Qi's face was also very serious. He turned to look at Madam Thousand Mechanisms and asked with a frown, "Does the city lord know where Peacock Great Emperor is?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms and Daoist Guhong looked at each other. After a moment, they shook their heads and said, "I don't know."
Han Qi said nothing and just continued to look at the two of them.
"I really don't know." Madam Thousand Mechanisms said helplessly, "Although Peacock Great Emperor has visited me Strife-Free City, he doesn't trust us very much and keeps many things secret from us."
"Not to mention his own traces?"
Han Qi nodded slowly, his eyebrows still furrowed.
Daoist Guhong also understands his worries. No matter how smooth Xie Qingxue's march is, Peacock Great Emperor is Golden Immortal after all. Disappearing without a trace will always make people uneasy.
It would be fine if Peacock Great Emperor replied to the Western Continent. If not, Nine Mountains Sect would have to be wary of what he is doing now.
Even Xie Qingxue seems a little cautious. The closer it gets to Fallen Phoenix Ridge, the slower Divine Firmament Fleet advances. It flies slowly and stops every mile.
The entrance of Fallen Phoenix Ridge is a mountain pass, with cliffs on both sides facing each other. Only a ray of skylight shines through. Looking at the extreme precipitousness, Northern Continent calls this place Phoenix Gate.
Divine Firmament Fleet crossed Phoenix Gate and explored forward cautiously.
Fallen Phoenix Ridge was empty and quiet, and Peacock Great Emperor seemed not to be here.
"Peacock Great Emperor really returns to the Western Continent?" Madam Thousand Mechanisms wondered, "Don't want Peacock Demon Kingdom anymore?"
Daoist Guhong shook his head, with an uncertain expression on his face. "Then why didn't he take Demon Race with him?"
Madam Thousand Mechanisms couldn't answer, so he heard Daoist Guhong ask again, "And, is he someone who is willing to give up Northern Continent?"
"It's not like that." Madam Thousand Mechanisms flatly denied it. Seeing Han Qi looking at him curiously, he explained, "Peacock Great Emperor, or Demon Race's idea is actually very obvious. They want to occupy Northern Continent and reproduce the race. For this reason, we have fought with them a lot."
Han Qi understood now. "High Immortal means that it is impossible for them to give up Northern Continent? And they have already paid a lot for this idea?"
"Exactly."
Giving up Peacock Demon Kingdom will not do any damage to Peacock Great Emperor's current strength, but it will have a great impact on future development - Demon Race and Demonic Sect both rely on future generations to practice.
Therefore, Peacock Great Emperor has to compete for the Northern Continent's territory for Demon Race to reproduce.
At this time, Nine Mountains Sect attacked and killed many Demon Race. Peacock Great Emperor did not show up and ran away with his people. He almost watched his subordinates being killed. This is very abnormal.
Han Qi thought for a while, then looked at the silent Fallen Phoenix Ridge, and felt even worse. Yu Jian picked up Comprehensive Mirror and sent a message to Xie Qingxue.
Divine Firmament Legion paused suddenly, as if hesitating.
After a while, the entire fleet actually started to turn around and slowly retreat.
"Is this---- withdrawn?"
Han Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know the specifics. I think it's thanks to Taishang's decision. I hope to make plans slowly."
Daoist Guhong sighed secretly in his heart, this Xie Taishang looked reckless, but when he retreated, he was resolute and unobtrusive.
Just as Divine Firmament Warship was turning, a cold shout suddenly came from Fallen Phoenix Ridge: "What? You don't dare to come in?"
"Peacock Great Emperor?" Daoist Guhong couldn't help but said in shock, "Peacock Great Emperor is hiding inside?"
The figure of Peacock Great Emperor broke through the sea of clouds, flew up from Fallen Phoenix Ridge, looked in the direction of the fleet, and sneered, "You are lucky!"
Only then did everyone see that just behind Phoenix Gate, there was a towering black mountain range in the sea of clouds.
This black mountain almost covered the entire Fallen Phoenix Ridge, and its edge could not be seen. It was just that it was hidden in the sea of clouds and they could not find it.
"This is----Primordial Magnetism mountain? Such a big Primordial Magnetism mountain?"
After all, Daoist Guhong is Golden Immortal. It became clear at once.
"Does he want to rely on the Primordial Magnetism mountain to avoid your Nine Mountains Sect's Sun-Shooting Divine Bow?"
Han Qi also nodded, with some lingering fear on his face. Fortunately, Taishang made a quick decision.
"The World Honored One gave me this Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain treasure just to deal with you Nine Mountains Sect!" Peacock Great Emperor sneered, "I don't want you to be as cowardly as a mouse!"
After he said this, Daoist Guhong and others realized that this majestic mountain was actually a Law Treasure. No wonder Peacock Great Emperor didn't take action, presumably just to refine this thing.
In this case, it is understandable that he has not shown up before, hiding in Fallen Phoenix Ridge to refine treasures, maybe he also wants to use this Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain to give Nine Mountains Sect a hard time.
It seems that Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain was not refined well, and Peacock Great Emperor did not attack rashly. He just stood among Fallen Phoenix Ridge, sneered, and watched Divine Firmament Legion slowly evacuate.
"Thank you Taishang."
Han Qi fell into Divine Firmament Fleet and saluted Xie Qingxue.
Xie Qingxue nodded to him. "Thank you for reminding me. As soon as I entered Fallen Phoenix Ridge, I felt something was wrong. Divine Firmament Warship couldn't find out what was going on."
Han Qi frowned and said, "Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, isn't it invalid?"
You must know that the entire strength of the Divine Firmament Legion is based on Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation. Even today's Divine Firmament Fleet expedition to the Northern Continent relies on Nine Mountains Department Store as the node to have such great power.
Now Peacock Great Emperor took out that Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain, but was very restrained Heavenly-Cycle Magnetism Formation.
"The normal Primordial Magnetism treasure is fine. We have already made plans for this, but the Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain is much more powerful than we thought - the entire Fallen Phoenix Ridge situation is a blur to us."
Xie Qingxue did not hide anything and directly expressed his thoughts. "Zhang Taishang also said that in this case, Sun-Shooting Divine Bow cannot aim."
"Trouble----"
Nine Mountains Sect is able to run rampant in the Northern Continent, and even Golden Immortal is not afraid of it. Daoist Guhong is still polite. It depends on the deterrence of Sun-Shooting Divine Bow.
Thanks to Taishang for taking Divine Firmament Fleet with him, he can deal with True Immortal, but Golden Immortal is different.
If Peacock Great Emperor can really suppress Heavenly-Cycle Magnetism Formation with Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain, not only will Peacock Demon Kingdom and the others not be able to defeat Three Reclusive Immortals, but it will also be difficult to predict. The entire Northern Continent situation will become complicated again.
"What do Daoist Guhong think?"
"I think they don't have any bad feelings towards us Nine Mountains Sect, and they even have some preference. They are just waiting and watching." Han Qi reported honestly.
"This is normal." Xie Qingxue nodded slowly, "I originally wanted to destroy Peacock Demon Kingdom to scare the three immortals and make them join me, but now it seems that they may have other ideas."
Having said this, Xie Qingxue shook his head and said, "There is nothing we can do about it. We will transport Peacock Demon Kingdom's resources back to the sect first and let them refine the stars.
"Just let them bite dogs." In Strife-Free City, a sturdy middle-aged man looked at Daoist Guhong and shouted, "I'll just sit on the mountain and watch the fight between tigers."
He is the owner of Suspended Island, Archaic Lord.
There was a beautiful woman sitting next to Archaic Lord. Listening to Archaic Lord's words, the woman was nodding her head, obviously in agreement.
"Linglong, you think so too?"
Daoist Guhong looked at the woman and asked.
Venerable Linglong, also known as Beyond-Heaven Mountain Master, nodded slightly and said, "The Nine Mountains Sect thing you mentioned, Gu Hong, if Nine Mountains Sect is really what they said, I think it's good too."
"But no matter what, how can living under someone else's roof compare to being free?"
Archaic Lord said loudly, "That's exactly what I thought!"
Daoist Guhong stretched out his right hand, pinched the beard on his chin with his thumb and index finger, and said nothing.
"In addition, no matter how well Nine Mountains Sect said it, there is only one key point - what if they lose?"
As soon as Daoist Guhong heard this, he sighed, "What I am most worried about is this. If Peacock did not lie, then Lu Mo has benefited greatly from Pure Land, and maybe his strength will improve greatly in a while."
"At that time, Nine Mountains Sect is afraid that his family will be destroyed."
Venerable Linglong smiled and said, "My little sister thinks so too. Although Thunderclap Temple doesn't regard me as one of his own, he is very powerful. How can he offend me?"
"Since we can't see through the Nine Mountains Sect, it's better to let him decide the outcome first, and we'll talk about what happens in the future."
These words were solemn words, and Daoist Guhong naturally could not refute it. Archaic Lord added, "If you ask me, after Peacock refines that Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain, this Nine Mountains Sect may not be able to stay even Northern Continent."
It can be heard that Archaic Lord is more confident in Thunderclap Temple.
Daoist Guhong thought for a moment, shook his head, and said, "I think Nine Mountains Sect----is not as simple as we see."
Nine Mountains Immortal Court, Heaven-Piercing Sword Peak.
Senior Sister Zhang put down Comprehensive Mirror in his hand and turned to look at Water Mother.
"How's the situation?"
"Xie Taishang is building the node of Thick-Earth Magnetism Formation, but that Five-Element Magnetic Divine Mountain seems to be of Dao Fruit level, which is enough to obscure the situation in Fallen Phoenix Ridge and cannot be detected at all, and Sun-Shooting Divine Bow cannot be targeted."
Water Mother sighed, "It's the most troublesome thing if we can't detect it."
"Fortunately, it's almost enough." Senior Sister Zhang looked at the giant sword next to Void-Piercing Eye, "Our main purpose is to perfect Grand Array of Heavenly Stars."
The middle seam of the giant sword's blade is inlaid with nine glowing beads, which are the stars that Nine Mountains Sect refined in these days.
Looking at these nine stars, even though he had admired them many times, Water Mother still couldn't help but admire. "I'm afraid even the original Heavenly Court can't make stars as fast as you."
"Thanks to Xuanhua Taishang for this matter." Senior Sister Zhang did not take credit for this matter, but looked at Madam Xuanhua on the side with some gratitude in his tone.
Since learning about Zheng Fa's situation, Nine Mountains Sect Heavenly Crafts Pavilion has begun to study the problem of star refining. It has been nearly a hundred years now.
At the beginning, they could only rely on the drawings given by Water Mother and Zheng Fa's observations in Chaos to reverse engineer the crack.
Later, after I roughly mastered the refining method of stars, I began to simplify the process. After so many years, the refining method is completely different from before.
It is extremely different from what Water Mother knew before. Not only has the manufacturing speed taken off, but even the cost is only more than 50% of the original.
Over the years, Immortal Court has integrated and repaired Vast Sun Mountain's contaminated territory, re-used Vast Sun Mountain's resources, and used Heaven-Earth Bank to harvest Northern Continent's spiritual materials. Now it has conquered 99% of the Peacock Demon Kingdom's territory, and obtained countless spiritual materials and Demon Race's corpse.
Therefore, seventy-two stars were finally created.
The original Grand Array of Heavenly Stars has thirty-six pieces. Adding these seventy-two pieces, it is exactly the number of Lesser Celestial Circuit. In Grand Array of Heavenly Stars, from one hundred and seven to one hundred and eight, it is a qualitative change.
No matter how much, there is actually nothing Nine Mountains Sect can do - after all, Nine Mountains Sect was able to create so many stars because in this wave they almost took away all the wealth accumulated by the Northern Continent. If you want to get so many spiritual materials in the future, I am afraid you will only have to find Thunderclap Temple and Supreme Dao.
Madam Xuanhua laughed, with a somewhat proud expression on his face. "It's all thanks to my disciple Heavenly Crafts Pavilion."
At this point, she pointed at the flying sword in front of her and said, "Let's just say this One Sword, Nine Stars is their idea. Heavenly Crafts Pavilion has calculated that from the perspective of cost, efficiency and safety, it is most suitable to use the One Sword, Nine Stars method to transport these stars."
Senior Sister Zhang nodded slightly, One Sword, Nine Stars understood it very well - every time a flying sword is fired, nine stars can be brought up.
If it is less, the number of launches will be too many, which will drive up the cost.
If it is too much, it is not very safe after the experimental simulation of the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion.
One Sword, Nine Stars is considered the most stable solution today.
"So, it only takes eight launches?" After hearing this, Water Mother lowered his head and started to count, "With our launch speed, eight months will be enough?"
It seems to feel very fast.
"Eight months----" Senior Sister Zhang raised his head and looked into the endless darkness, "There are still eight months.
Deep in Chaos, among the silent Grand Array of Heavenly Stars, Zheng Fa stood on Bronze Platform, looking into the distance.
Azure Maiden The three of them were also standing aside, looking in the same direction.
In that darkness, there was a small spot of light that kept flickering, weak but persistent.
The three Azure Maiden now also know that this is Nine Mountains Sect's space station and their hope of returning home.
On this day, Zheng Fa looked at it for a particularly long time, as if waiting for something.
Azure Maiden The three of them were a little confused and just waited with him.
Suddenly, a ray of light the size of a fine needle pierced the darkness and headed towards the space station.
"What is that?"
Azure Maiden asked curiously.
"Stars."
"Stars?" Azure Maiden murmured and repeated. Just when he was about to ask something, his eyes suddenly became brighter. When he looked up, he saw nine more shining lanterns in the distance, floating towards them.
She got it!
Not only her, but Evil Water Mother who was trapped in the formation also understood. She shouted, her voice full of panic that she was not aware of. "How could you refine so many Zhoutian stars in such a short period of time?"
