A Man's Confidence Came from His Strength
Standing atop the warship, Donghua saw cheers erupting wherever his gaze fell.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Donghua took out nine pieces of Gengjin Divine Iron, placed them in the Hunyuan Cauldron, and refined them with Pure Yang True Fire. With a casual grab, he intercepted the Great Dao Law and placed them in the cauldron.
Before long, the nine golden tablets had been erected!
Donghua glanced at the golden stele in the cauldron, then took out some of his merit and merged it into the stele.
The golden stele, imbued with merit, instantly released golden light, flew out of the cauldron, and stood in the Sky Vault.
"A top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure!"
Upon seeing this, Donghua nodded slightly. It was not bad that it could become a high-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure; it was also due to the merit he had accumulated.
It's important to understand that accumulating merit into a spiritual treasure doesn't necessarily transform it into Merit Spiritual Treasure.
If Merit Spiritual Treasure were so easy to forge, the Heaven and Earth Mysterious Yellow Exquisite Pagoda wouldn't be so precious.
It should be known that Merit Spiritual Treasure are even rarer and more precious than Innate Spiritual Treasure, and the claim that killing someone will not incur karmic consequences is not just a saying.
Moreover, those who possess Merit Spiritual Treasure are favored by Heaven and Earth, and blessed with good fortune. If you want to die, Heavenly Dao will send someone to persuade you not to be so suicidal.
The formation of Merit Spiritual Treasure requires the right timing, location, and people—all three are indispensable, and even then, it must be built upon a foundation of abundant Mysterious Yellow Merit.
Donghua leaped into the air, his Pure Yang Sword dancing above the Nine Golden Tablets, inscribing the Great Dao Inscription and establishing the rankings.
Seeing the Nine Golden Tablets fully formed, Donghua smiled with satisfaction. Looking around, he spotted the location of the Giant Ao Clan and slowly spoke:
"Nine people from your clan will carry the golden stele on the Azure Sea. They can use the power of the stele to cultivate in the Azure Sea, each time for a thousand years. They can take turns carrying the stele. After they have completed their cultivation, there will be a reward. Are you willing?"
Upon hearing this, the Giant Turtle Clan Chief beamed with joy. What is a surprise? This is a surprise!
He immediately stepped forward and replied, "Thank you for your great kindness, Your Majesty! Our clan will guard the golden stele for generations to repay your grace!"
Don't think this is a shameful job; most people would kill for it.
Nine top-grade Houtian Spiritual Treasure can be used for cultivation, and the golden tablet is located in the Azure Sea, which is the core of the Purple Mansion. Those who can cultivate and live there are all high-ranking members of the Purple Mansion, and the lowest level is Daluo Golden Immortal.
Moreover, the names engraved on the golden tablet are all those who are the best in each realm of the Purple Mansion. Where the golden tablet is located, there will naturally be a gathering of fortune, which is an extremely good thing for the person carrying the tablet.
Some sea creatures looked at the Giant Ao Clan with envy, and even the Dragon Clan's Candle Dragon looked over, wanting to know what the Giant Ao Clan had done to obtain such benefits.
Donghua smiled upon seeing this. In truth, the real reason he chose the Giant Ao Clan was the Purifying World Pearl. Although it was an unintentional act, he did indeed gain tremendous benefits.
In his past battle with Lu Ya, if it weren't for the upgraded Pure World White Lotus, he probably wouldn't have even had time to create the Innate Eight Trigrams before dying at Lu Ya's hands.
Since merging with the Purifying World Pearl, the Pure World White Lotus has surpassed the other three lotus platforms in terms of defense, so he doesn't mind giving these small favors to the Giant Ao Clan. After all, it doesn't matter who he gives to!
Donghua casually grabbed the nine giant turtles and threw them onto the Azure Sea.
Then the nine golden tablets transformed into nine beams of light, landing on the giant turtle, which stood tall above the Azure Sea, radiating golden light.
With all the preliminary preparations complete, the main event is about to begin.
"The military parade begins!"
Donghua pointed his sword, his voice soft and calm, yet it carried across the Three Islands and Ten Continents, reaching everyone who could hear it.
As soon as the words were spoken, the various immortal lords returned to their positions and began to command their respective armies, which then formed ranks and marched into battle.
The seven Emperor Lords of the Purple Mansion returned to the warship and stood behind Donghua, as they did not need to participate in the military review.
The first to start were the Thirty-Five Divisions!
The Thirty-Five Divisions are quite complex in composition, including alchemists, weapon refiners, researchers of formations, Daoist arts, supernatural powers, and cultivation techniques. Of course, the Thirty-Five Divisions also have their own legions, making them all-encompassing.
Their nature is roughly equivalent to an administrative position in later generations, but their combat power is by no means inferior. You should know that the leaders of the Thirty-Five Divisions, the Fate Masters, are all Daluo Golden Immortal.
During the last Purple Mansion reform, although the framework of the Thirty-Five Divisions remained unchanged, there were several internal changes, with some departments being merged and others being newly established.
Donghua also specially established a research department in order to study some unseen martial arts techniques and supernatural abilities, as well as some unorthodox methods.
Although he looked down on these things, they were truly an inexhaustible treasure for the Purple Mansion.
Take, for example, the art of talismans, which has already been studied and developed. Talismans are a minor art, but their principle is to use the runes of the Great Dao to Tongtian.
It sounds impressive, but it's nothing to Donghua, because with a thought, he can be imbued with the Great Dao Law, and mere runes are naturally insignificant.
However, talismans are a boon for those at lower cultivation levels, as they can directly boost combat power.
Of course, even the most minor path, when it reaches its peak, should not be underestimated.
Have you not seen how the Four Great Celestial Masters of Daoism in later generations achieved their Grand Unity Positional Authority by relying on these minor Daoist practices that Donghua looked down upon?
A military parade is not just about looking at the formations; the most important thing is to see the army's formations, their fighting spirit, and their offensive and defensive capabilities.
It's important to understand that in a world like the Primordial Wilderness, various forces still enjoy training their troops and generals, and the reason for this is the formation system.
The reason why formations were so prevalent in the Primordial Wilderness was because they could enable the weak to overcome the strong.
The Great Way is nameless, yet it is everywhere.
By using formations to interpret the Great Dao, one can unleash double, a hundred, or even a thousand times the power.
Just like how Di Jun and Taiyi were able to withstand the two Sky-Opening Axe Light from Pangu True Body, it was because of the formation and the spiritual treasure.
If it weren't for the formation, those two would probably have perished by now.
It's like a Daluo Golden Immortal facing hundreds of scattered Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, who would say, "Not worth mentioning, I can kill them all!"
But if faced with hundreds of Grand Unity forming a formation, he would simply run away without even glancing at them.
Of course, formations are not omnipotent. Everything in nature has its counter, and formations naturally have ways to be broken. The simplest way is to break the formation by force.
Just like last time when Lu Ya faced the formation set up by West Kunlun, he easily broke it. This is not to say that the West Kunlun formation is weak, but that the opponent is too strong.
Each of the Thirty-Five Divisions has its own army to varying degrees, which is why the Great Commander of Fate can sit firmly at the head of the Great Emperor. The Thirty-Five Divisions are truly powerful, with no shortage of top experts above and strong armies below.
After the Thirty-Five Divisions have completed their military review, what remains are the four divisions of fighting, thunder, water, and fire.
The Dou and Lei divisions are further divided into many corps, with soldiers all being True Immortal, and there are also elite corps with soldiers all being Golden Immortal. However, there are only two such corps in total for the Dou Bu and Lei Bu, totaling 20,000 people. The generals are Primordial Unity Golden Immortal, and the commanders are Daluo Golden Immortal.
It is precisely because of these factors that Donghua is not afraid of the Heavenly Court, as their strength is in no way inferior to that of the Heavenly Court.
The only difference between them and the Demon Race Heavenly Court right now is top-tier combat power, but this gap is narrowing.
Thinking of this, Donghua smiled to himself. He said to Fuxi that it was impossible for him not to have made any plans, even though what he said was true.
But precisely because it was real, Fuxi found it increasingly difficult to refuse, and only became more and more entangled.
He didn't expect Fuxi to help him; he only asked that Fuxi refrain from aiding the demons during his battles and simply stand by and watch.
After all, Fuxi was not alone; behind him were countless demons and Nuwa.
If he really wanted to go it alone, he could instantly build up a force equal to the Heavenly Court after leaving the Demon Race Heavenly Court. That's what makes Fuxi so terrifying.
Now, Fuxi and Nuwa have become estranged from the Demon Race Heavenly Court.
This is Donghua's victory!
Based on this calculation, the Demon Race Heavenly Court is left with only four top experts: Di Jun, Eastern Emperor Taiyi, Kunpeng, and Xi He.
As for the remaining Ten Great Demon Sages, he didn't take them seriously, since they weren't even in the same league.
On the Purple Mansion side, there are four top experts: him, the West Queen Mother, Longbo, and Candle Dragon.
Therefore, he was confident that he could fight against the Demon Race Heavenly Court!
Indeed, strength is the foundation of everything!
A man's confidence comes from his ability!
