Chapter 717: The Explosive Birth of Jin Dan Cultivators in the Master Tushan Maid Group

In the silent palace.

Jiang Ding dismissed the maids and gazed at the sea of stars in his sea of consciousness, symbolizing the North Origin Maids.

With a slight movement of his divine sense, the scenes of these sixteen years began to rewind.

At the very beginning, there were fifty-one thousand two hundred soul seals, each with slightly different auras.

As time passed, the soul seals slowly increased; four years later, the number rose from fifty-one thousand two hundred to fifty-three thousand.

In the fifth year,

a patch of the star sea suddenly dimmed.

Without war, sword cultivators cannot grow.

Wherever the Blood Flow Cloud was, they were there too, refusing to risk advancing rashly or pursuing the elite army of the Six Paths Holy Son alone, thus placing themselves in danger.

For cultivators who performed well, immediate heavy rewards were given, rapid promotions granted, and they were absorbed and won over.

The Blood Nan Yunqi, inherited from the ancient Modaoda Sect's Blood River Gate, after devouring the fresh blood and living souls of both friend and foe, grew even more formidable, seemingly on the verge of transcending the limit of Jin Dan treasures to become an Infant Treasure.

Secondly, the Kan Yu Department maids were besieged for a full thirteen days; why was the support speed so slow, much slower than before, when several Blood King Army units were within a range of ten thousand li?

Regardless of the facts,

two completely different command systems and interest groups were bound to erupt into such a conflict; it was just unexpected that it would happen so quickly, before even achieving the stage goals.

The Blood Flow Cloud requested aid.

Even so, the massive amounts of fresh blood and living souls on the battlefield were not wasted; dozens of top-grade Blood Cloud Sub-Flags were gradually refined, the army formation's killing qi of the Blood King's Personal Guard constantly strengthened, and their strength nearly doubled.

At that time, the commander of this army was the Kan Yu Maid, True Person Yu Luo, a female cultivator at the peak of the Jin Dan realm, famous throughout the North Origin.

The Master Tushan Maid Group watched these events with cold eyes, paying them no mind.

After this, the Master Tushan Maid Group's Master Tushan Zhongting drew lessons from the incident and ordered all departments to concentrate together to avoid being defeated one by one.

The Blood King Army suffered heavy losses; the elite army personally led by the Six Paths Holy Son, Yin Dao, attacked the scattered units. Although they occasionally received warnings, the bloated forces could not evade and were eliminated time and again.

Jiang Ding flipped through the information within.

The Blood King Army believed that with their three million-plus cultivator army, all capable of forming army formations, once the formations were fully deployed, even Nascent Soul cultivators would have to retreat and seek opportunities by maneuvering, daring not to face them directly.

In the tenth year, the Master Tushan Maid Group, restored to fifty thousand people, and the Blood King Army arrived at the Six Paths Sect camp.

During this process, the great army was constantly tempered.

Such slaughter was truly a paradise for sword cultivators.

They cultivated the Bing Gong Fa of sword cultivators; the most suitable environment for growth was a war where lives constantly withered and blood constantly flowed, yet not one that killed everyone instantly.

The Master Tushan Maid Group believed that although they were only fifty thousand strong, every single one was an elite, and their combat power could not be underestimated.

Without any tactics or evasion, bloody and direct slaughter began.

Jiang Ding's gaze remained calm; he was not surprised by this.

During this period, from Jiang Ding's perspective, he could often see a small patch of the star sea dimming; dozens upon dozens of maids died, and sometimes hundreds of maids perished.

The number of Master Tushan Maids dropped from fifty thousand to forty-five thousand, then to forty thousand, then from forty thousand to thirty thousand, then down to twenty thousand; more than half had died.

"A rift has formed..."

In ancient legends, the human race's sword cultivators were born in the endless racial battlefields, constantly slaughtering and constantly breaking through, becoming a decisive force and one of the important cornerstones of the human hegemon's foundation.

The Blood King Army and the Master Tushan Maid Group's Master Tushan Zhongting discussed for several days and decided to attack regardless of casualties, to annihilate the opponent as quickly as possible, seize the initiative in the Wang Ting war, and take a solid step toward the Nascent Soul Dao.

The war was cruel and terrifying; deserters appeared many times, only for the order to be barely maintained after the green-skirted maids executed them.

First, although the Six Paths Holy Son, Yin Dao, moved his troops secretly, he was still leading a large force of fifteen thousand; even with illusion arrays concealing the camp, how could there be no flaws whatsoever?

Did none of the numerous Jin Dan spies developed by the Blood King Army through the "Letter to Fellow Daoists on the Nascent Soul" notice anything?

Thus, she lost all hope and became disheartened.

Here, the Six Paths Sect, relying on three top-grade third-tier spiritual veins, established a terrifying fourth-tier Six Paths Return to Life and Slaughter Great Array, boasting impregnable defenses capable of one fighting a hundred.

If not for the Blood Flow Cloud feeling uneasy and daring not to let the Blood Nan Yunqi undergo Tribulation Crossing, it might have already happened.

Facing the Six Paths Holy Son, Yin Dao, personally leading troops to encircle and kill her, she held out for ten days, broke out multiple times in succession, and suffered heavy casualties.

Obviously, during the process of attacking the fourth-tier array, casualties were continuous and it was not easy.

Immediately after, the Kan Yu Maids persisted for another three days; with over half killed or wounded and no strength left to fight, the nearest reinforcements were still ten days away.

At the critical moment, the green-skirted maids sensed the Kan Yu Maids' vigilance, ordered an encirclement and slaughter, and executed her before she could surrender.

Those who feared battle and did not advance were executed on the spot as a warning to others.

The Blood King Army's response was: first, nonsense; second, the commanders of the five nearby units that failed to support in time had already been beheaded and sent to the Master Tushan Maid Group's Master Tushan Zhongting as an apology.

The slaughter continued for a full six years.

Under the heads of five Jin Dan cultivators, the losses were far less than those of the Master Tushan Maids; the matter was thus closed.

The Blood King Army's mixed forces, after such bloody battles, saw their numbers drop significantly, but their strength actually increased.

Yin Dao learned lessons from previous attempts; he set up illusion arrays in the camp to block the inside and outside, selected all his direct subordinates to form an elite force, strictly sealed internal and external communications with secret treasures, and moved secretly for tens of thousands of li to reach the ambush location.

The Kan Yu Department suffered heavy losses and had to draw on other units to rebuild.

When casualties were heavy, new troops were brought in.

Both sides were dissatisfied with the other, believing the other had ulterior motives, but for the sake of the greater situation, they did not act out yet.

In despair, she secretly contacted the Six Paths Sect, wanting to surrender.

Finally, she ordered the entire army to break out; the Six Paths Sect army caught up, killed them, and only a few managed to escape successfully.

The Blood King Army suffered casualties a hundred times greater, with corpses littering the fields.

The Blood Flow Cloud and the Master Tushan Maid Group's Master Tushan Zhongting turned a blind eye to this, continuing to attack fiercely regardless of casualties.

Next came marching, marching, and occasional combat; cultivators possessed storage bags, so logistical problems caused very little trouble.

If the first point was merely speculation, the second point was undeniably certain.

The Master Tushan Maids were even more terrifying.

Both sides believed they were the ones enduring.

There were two reasons.

Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting, the maid of Master Tushan, thought this was unreasonable.

Next, time passed.

One year later, the Master Tushan maids gathered together, nearly fifty thousand strong, stationed at the center of the main Blood King Army force, marching steadily.

Six thousand lost, symbolizing the deaths of over six thousand maids, the number dropped to forty-seven thousand.

All the blood and living beings were absorbed by the Six Paths Heaven-Returning Hei Tian Lu Sheng Array, instead strengthening its might.

At the same time, due to the total annihilation of the Kan Yu Department maids this time, a quarrel erupted between the Master Tushan Maid Corps and the Blood King Court led by the Blood King Army, swords drawn, a crisis of trust emerged.

After comprehensive argumentation, Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting of the Master Tushan Maid Corps believed this was a deliberate elimination of dissenters within the Blood King Army; doing so before achieving any phased victory was shortsighted to an intolerable, uncooperative degree.

But clearly, distrust took root from then on; in future military operations, they would no longer include the Blood King Army in their battle plans, becoming even more conservative.

Those breaking through to Jin Dan exceeded one hundred!

Master Tushan Master Tushan Zhongting of the Master Tushan Maid Corps said nothing more, enduring it.

The harvest was also great.

Blood Flow Cloud, helpless, could only lead a small detachment and the Master Tushan Maid Corps to intercept, finally forcing the Six Paths Holy Son Yin Dao, who led hundreds of thousands, to retreat; he dared not lead a small force to take such risks again.

In the Battle of Yu Family Mountain, the Six Paths Holy Son Yin Dao led fifteen thousand men to launch an attack, ambushing and killing six thousand Master Tushan maids passing through this place on their way to Luoshan.

The deaths of thirty thousand sword cultivators with two spiritual roots gave birth to one hundred and fourteen Jin Dan, with countless breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm, impossible to count.

Although the numbers were fewer,

the strength had nearly multiplied several times!
