I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 418: Chapter 308 Bead that Breaks Meridians_2

At his laughter, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation who were originally worried also let go of their concerns.

At least, they don’t have to worry about the Divine Wood Sect’s pursuit.

“The battle with Mountain Shaker Peak is inevitable. This is also an opportunity for your four major clans to redeem yourselves through meritorious deeds. Don’t say I didn’t give you a chance.”

After laughing, Chu Zuoshu began to tap into the cultivation families of Lei Nation again.

“Yes, please rest assured, Elder Chu. As part of the Divine Wood Sect, we have always followed the sect’s commands with absolute respect over the past decades and will not fear the battle.”

Lian Chenghai spoke on behalf of the four major clans.

“Hmm, prepare some rooms for us. Later the four of you will come together to discuss how to defend against Mountain Shaker Peak’s attack.”

At Chu Zuoshu’s command, Lian Chenghai naturally carried it out at the earliest opportunity.

Even though the scenery of Rolling Thunder Mountain was not particularly spectacular, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the spiritual energy gathered underground for millions of years surged upwards, forming an almost Rank-4 Spirit Vein in a few short years.

It should be known that among the six cultivation families in the entire Lei Nation, the highest spirit vein level in their Spiritual Land is only Rank-3 Top Quality.

This was also why, after the discovery of the Spirit Stone Mine, the Foundation Establishment practitioners of Lei Nation all stationed themselves at Rolling Thunder Mountain for a long period under the pretext of guarding the Spirit Stones.

Their clan ancestors naturally all had their own dwellings, but now they had all been given to the members of the Divine Wood Sect.

Lian Chenghai was the first to offer his cave dwelling, and Chu Zuoshu had no qualms about accepting.

However, there were eight people from the Divine Wood Sect this time, and there weren’t enough rooms.

But the cultivators of Tianhe Realm were all accustomed to living in the open air, which they didn’t mind. They each found a spot rich in spiritual energy, set out a meditation mat, and just sat on it.

“Because it’s expected that we will be later than Mountain Shaker Peak which is directly mobilizing troops from Rock Country, we have to rely on the advantages of the formations and geographical features of Rolling Thunder Mountain to resist for a while before our Divine Wood Sect’s army arrives.”

After the first victory, Chu Zuoshu, as the commander, analyzed the situation very calmly.

Inside the room, apart from the eight people from the Divine Wood Sect, the four Foundation Establishment cultivators from Lei Nation were present as well.

“The Rank-3 Formation of Rolling Thunder Mountain, the Earth Gold Knife Array, was constructed by a member of your sect’s formation division. It holds the dual attributes of earth and gold and has already connected with the local spirit veins. If Ji Zhenshi does not take action, it should be able to hold out for a while.”

Lian Chenghai immediately offered up a square Array Plate, which was the core of the Rolling Thunder Mountain Formation.

Chu Zuoshu nodded, but let Fu Huakun beside him take it. He had to control the Azure Light Formation and might even have to engage Ji Dingjin in battle from time to time. If he had to handle the Earth Gold Knife Array as well, it would be too much.

“We need to consider the possibility that Mountain Shaker Peak has a Bead that Breaks Meridians.”

After taking over the Array Plate of the Earth Gold Knife Array, Fu Huakun brought up a point.

The Bead that Breaks Meridians is a magic artifact in the Tianhe Realm specifically used to destroy spirit veins. It is formed by the condensation of the ancient and toxic gas extracted from the earth veins. Once triggered, it can quickly penetrate into the earth veins along the connection with the formation and disrupt the spiritual mechanisms of the earth veins within a radius of a hundred miles.

“The Bead that Breaks Meridians is invaluable. When our Divine Wood Sect separated from the Five Elements Sect, we only obtained three such beads. I don’t believe that Mountain Shaker Peak would have any.”

Chu Zuoshu shook his head, uncertain whether it was true confidence or if he was trying to instill confidence into the four Foundation Establishment cultivators of Lei Nation.

However, at his words, the four people from Lei Nation looked at each other, feeling exposed. Their mountain protection formations, which took more than a hundred years to construct, were even more formidable than the Earth Gold Knife Array and were their greatest reliance.

Upon hearing that the Divine Wood Sect actually had three Beads that Breaks Meridians, they instantly felt disquieted.

They felt as if their family was naked in front of the Divine Wood Sect, leading to a chill down their spines.

Immediately, their attitudes became even more respectful.

“Each of your clans will provide 100 Qi practitioners. I don’t care if these practitioners are hired from loose cultivators or if you have to reveal your cards to your subordinate clans. Within three days, I want to see at least 400 cultivators.”

Chu Zuoshu started to assign tasks. Upon hearing this, Lian Chenghai and the others looked bitter, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.

It should be known that although the four major clans were practically imperial rulers in Lei Nation, even the largest clan, the Lian family, had in total only a little over 200 cultivators between old and young.

As for the smallest clan, the Bao family, they barely numbered above 100 cultivators.

Now, Chu Zuoshu had straightforwardly assigned a hundred Qi practitioners to each family, almost draining their power by half.

However, under the eave, and considering the Divine Wood Sect still held the Bead that Breaks Meridians, a powerful weapon, the four of them pledged that within three days, Qi practitioners who would satisfy Chu Zuoshu’s requirements would arrive at Rolling Thunder Mountain.

After all, Chu Zuoshu had made it quite clear.

It only mattered if there were enough people, not whether they were part of their clans or not.

If they had known this earlier, the Gong family and the Zheng family wouldn’t have handed them over, and spread the load evenly, then they could substitute the places of nine people.

“Senior brother, how come I didn’t know there are three Beads that Break Meridians within the sect?”

After Lian Chenghai and the others had left, Fu Huakun asked somewhat doubtfully.

“If I hadn’t said so, how could the four of them agree so easily to dispatch cultivators from Lei Nation to come over.”

Chu Zuoshu spoke plainly when faced with his own people,

Everyone respectfully nodded in approval.

“We still need to consider the possibility of Mountain Shaker Peak having a Bead that Breaks Meridians. Before Ji Zhenshi’s Core Formation, he used Void Stones in the Eastern Wilderness to exchange for many goods, perhaps he has one.”

Even after digesting this, Fu Huakun was still slightly concerned.

“The Spirit Vein Level of Rolling Thunder Mountain is nearing Rank-4, meaning Mountain Shaker Peak would require a Rank-4 Bead that Breaks Meridians to completely rupture the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array. The Five Elements Sect only has two such items, I find it hard to believe Ji Zhenshi would waste resources to acquire such things.”

Chu Zuoshu shook his head, but now, even if the enemy truly had one, they could only let it be.

Considering that the opponent would automatically destroy and contaminate the spirit veins once it’s thrown into the formation, there is almost no solution.

“Hall Master, we should still consider this possibility. If the spirit veins of Rolling Thunder Mountain were to be polluted, we could manually disconnect the formation from the earth’s veins, and use spirit stones as the power source for the formation. After all, what’s most plentiful here are spirit stones.”

At this moment, Chu Zuoshu’s disciple, Yue Zutao, stepped forward to advise. The latter often took advice to heart, and after thoughtful consideration, found it sensible, hence he had Fu Huakun practice the plan of cutting off the earth’s veins with the Earth-Metal Golden Knife Array’s Array Plate.

“If we really run out of spirit stones and Mountain Shaker Peak breaks through Rolling Thunder Mountain, we also need to be prepared to retreat.”

Yue Zutao spoke again. He had locked his cultivation level all these years which gave him ample time to dabble in various fields of study. On top of that, he was primarily trained to be the next head in the Reward Virtue Hall, hence he was excellent in both literary and military strategies.

“Hmm, once those Qi practitioners arrive, we can practice the battle array. If anything goes wrong, we can also use these people as cannon fodder to cover for our retreat.”

Chu Zuoshu nodded, and then everyone discussed responses for all kinds of situations.

Listening to the conversation from the side, Chen Mobai was intrigued and taken aback.

Finally, he was about to witness a large-scale war among the cultivators of Tianhe Realm.

He wondered how many people would die this time.

The three days passed in a blink of an eye.

On Rolling Thunder Mountain, various makeshift camps have been fully established. More than four hundred cultivators gathered together, they even created a simple Fang Market.

Chen Mobai inquired about it and found out that less than a hundred cultivators from the four great families have arrived here. The majority were Loose Cultivators and Guest Elders, but once they climbed up Rolling Thunder Mountain, they could receive 2 spirit stones from the four families each day.

For high-level cultivators, such as those in the late stage of Qi Cultivation, it would be even more.

This sight reminded Chen Mobai of the scene when the Cloud Dream Marsh Monster attacked the island, he too had accepted the Divine Wood Sect’s recruitment then.

He wondered how the sibling disciples of the small sect he was with at that time were doing now?

He heard from E Yun that Green Light Island had been rebuilt, but it was not overseen by Senior Brother Zheng Deming, but instead, the latter reportedly went to Fengyu Pavilion with Elder Fu.

“They are here!”

One day, Chen Mobai was practicing a battle array with Yue Zutao, when Chu Zuoshu suddenly flew into mid-air and shouted to everyone.

All they could see were flying boats from Rock Country transporting hundreds of cultivators, coming towards Rolling Thunder Mountain in a grand manner.
