The Benefits of a Superior Ninth-Grade True Spirit Star; Three Candidate Sites for Expansion
After listening to his third aunt Kong Yuyin's words, Kong Wenxuan glanced at the other Foundation Establishment from the Lineage in the hall and suddenly understood. He nodded and said, "It seems you've already made a decision and decided to start waging war soon?"
"That's right!" At this moment, the clan chief Kong Changgeng, sitting in the main seat, nodded in confirmation and said, "Originally, we planned to wait five years before launching our expansionist war."
"The five elements spiritual materials, alchemy tools, talismans, and other resources we brought back from Bifang Commandery City were estimated to be enough to sustain the Lineage for five years."
"However, over the past three years, we have discovered that the success rate of awakening one's bloodline after worshipping the current ' Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit Star ' is far higher than recorded in the clan's records."
"Moreover, the original Qi Refinement cultivators in the clan, after switching to cultivating the Five Elements True Scripture, have seen a far greater speed of progress and breakthroughs in their cultivation compared to before."
"As a result, the resources and materials that were originally estimated to last for five years have been mostly used up in just three years, and the remaining ones probably won't even last a year."
The clan chief gave a wry smile as he said, "This should have been a good thing, but the Lineage's finances and resources can't support it, so a good thing has turned into a bad thing."
Upon hearing this, Kong Wenxuan immediately understood that the reason for the current situation was that he had completed all the tests when he was Star Inlaying, and the newly inlaid ninth-grade "Peacock True Spirit Star" of the Lineage was considered a superior star among the Ninth-Grade True Spirit.
Therefore, the success rate of the clansmen in awakening their bloodline by worshipping the current "Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit Star" is far greater than that of the "Soul-Bewitching Peacock True Spirit Star" recorded by the Lineage.
On the other hand, the current Lineage cultivators worship the "Five-Colored Peacock True Spirit Star" to obtain the inheritance of the "Five Elements True Scripture Five Elements True Scripture". They cultivate the "Five Elements True Scripture" and use the Bloodline Divine Ability of Peacock Feather to refine the "Five Elements Divine Swords" or "Five Elements Talisman Slips". As long as they use them to devour and refine the five elements spiritual materials, they can refine swords and talismans while Qi Refinement.
The refinement and upgrading of the "Five Elements Divine Swords" and "Five Elements Talisman Slips" can boost their cultivation level, allowing them to overcome minor bottlenecks at First Tier cultivation and naturally increasing their cultivation speed far beyond what they used to be.
The clan leader and others clearly hadn't anticipated these changes, which is why the Lineage's resources, which they had originally estimated would last for five years, were now almost exhausted in just three.
Therefore, we have no choice but to consider starting a war.
Kong Wenxuan quickly grasped the cause and effect of the matter, and nodded slightly, saying, "In that case, do you have a chosen target?"
"Uncle, have you found a suitable place for us to develop in the mountains to the south during these past two years of intelligence gathering?"
He has agreed with the clan chief and others' opinions and is preparing to launch a war of expansion in the near future.
On the one hand, as the clan leader and others said, if they continue to wait, the Lineage will really go bankrupt. At that time, let alone developing the Lineage, they may not even be able to come up with the resources needed to carry out expansion wars.
On the other hand, Kong Wenxuan also believed that the Lineage now had six Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the strength of these Foundation Establishment cultivators alone was enough to carry out expansion wars.
There's no need to wait another ten or thirty years to cultivate hundreds or thousands of Qi Refinement cultivators and form battle formations before we can wage war.
after all,
Based on his understanding of the mountains to the south of "Demon-Suppressing Pass", even Third Tier Demon Beast are rare in the mountains, with the largest number being First Tier Demon Beast and a small number of Second Tier Demon Beast.
As for the Demon Race, which was originally the greatest threat, after being wiped out by the Bi Household's army, there is hardly anything left. Even those who were lucky enough to survive can only hide carefully and dare not show their faces.
Therefore, if the Kong Household wants to wage war of expansion in the southern mountains, they mainly need to deal with Second Tier and First Tier Demon Beast Demon Beast.
With his current cultivation level, he has refined Second Tier Spirit Artifact, the "White Metal Divine Sword," and is confident that he can absolutely crush and kill those Second Tier Demon Beast.
As for First Tier Demon Beast, needless to say, no matter how many there are, it's useless.
Three years ago, at the Demon-Suppressing Pass, he had just entered the Foundation Establishment Realm, and the Five Elements Divine Swords were only First Tier Law Artifact. Yet, he was able to kill more than a thousand First Tier Demon Beast with the "Lesser Five Elements Sword Formation," let alone now!
Moreover, there are still six Foundation Establishment cultivators in the Kong Household. Even if the patriarch, the eldest uncle, and others are not as strong as him, they should be able to deal with ordinary Second Tier Demon Beast Five Elements Divine Swords slaughter a large number of First Tier Demon Beast, given that they also cultivate the Five Elements True Scripture and refine the Five Elements Talisman Slips and Five Elements Talisman.
Therefore, in Kong Wenxuan's view, having six Foundation Establishment cultivators was enough to guarantee the Lineage's expansionist wars.
When the clan chief Kong Changgeng heard his words, he immediately understood his meaning and knew that he had agreed to carry out the expansion war. He nodded and took out a "Illusory Jade Slip", activated its contents, and displayed a three-dimensional map in mid-air, which recorded the situation that his uncle had explored in the southern mountains over the past two years.
The clan chief pointed to three locations on the map, marking them, and said, "Based on the intelligence gathered by Yushuo, we have selected these three locations as potential sites for the Lineage's expansion."
"First, this place!" the clan chief said, manipulating the map formed by light and shadow to directly expand the first marked location, magnifying the geography and terrain details and displaying them in front of Kong Wenxuan.
Thus, he could see that it was an Lone Peak peak surrounded by low hills and plains.
If we could conquer this place, using this isolated Lone Peak as the center and making it the core of our Lineage, we could relocate many resources and spiritual objects from Peacock Ridge to this Lone Peak, and then level the surrounding low hills and plains to build a "Peacock County Seat" covering hundreds of miles. That would be perfectly feasible.
This is probably the main reason why the eldest uncle, the clan chief, and others chose this place as one of the options.
The clan chief then introduced the details of this Lone Peak, saying, "This first candidate location is surrounded by plains and low hills where no powerful Demon Beast occupy the area, but there are also no good resources, spiritual lands, or mineral veins."
"Only this Lone Peak in the middle is inhabited by a group of Green-Winged Eagle Demon Beast, and the leader, the Eagle King, is even a Third Tier Demon Beast."
"Yushuo is no match for that Third Tier Eagle King, so he dared not enter the Lone Peak to investigate its resources and spiritual objects. However, the fact that he was able to raise a Third Tier Green-Winged Eagle Demon Beast shows that the Lone Peak must be rich in spiritual objects, resources, and spiritual lands."
"It should even be able to produce some Third Tier spirit items and resources."
