Chapter 517
Unlike Ning Zhuo heard Song Ji's commentary, and his heart moved slightly.
The first thing he thought of was not the Dice Bone Demon God, but that strand of the Void Evil God's bone marrow.
The demon god was only at the Jin Dan level, but the void demon god bone marrow was at the Soul Transformation level.
"The bone marrow is the gain that consumed my fate the most!"
"Before Clear Sky Mountain, I also acted as Daoist Shi Zhong, robbing the Two Kingdoms' transport team and obtaining countless military supplies. Until now, that magic treasure-level storage bag hasn't even been opened."
"There must be many good things!"
"Plus, I later used the talisman to teleport to the Red Flower Camp, helping Mu Lan shoot Di Lu to death and shooting away the Pale Moon Ancient God. This battle merit can also be considered my gain."
"Calculated this way, hiss..."
Unlike Ning Zhuo couldn't help but gasp secretly in his heart.
He was calculating this mess of accounts regarding fate, and the more he calculated, the more shocked he became.
This strong luck brought him too many benefits, and even after experiencing the fierce battle of Moon Hook Mountain, there was still quite a bit remaining.
"At the beginning, how massive must this luck have been!"
"Who is so kind to secretly support me?"
"If there is a chance in the future, I will find him and definitely repay him."
Until now, Unlike Ning Zhuo still didn't know the truth.
Song Ji's calculation also verified Unlike Ning Zhuo's previous guess.
"My luck is falling; this change must be kept in mind. If I am paralyzed and careless, relying on strong luck, I will likely suffer a blow."
"Therefore, humility and caution are the first-choice strategies for walking the world and conducting oneself all year round."
"I must continue to maintain such excellent habits!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo secretly reminded himself.
Du Tiechuan learned that Unlike Ning Zhuo's fate was like this and let go of some hidden worries in his heart.
He said coldly: "Supply Officer Song, you take Unlike Ning Zhuo down and ask about the details of the enemy army."
Unlike Ning Zhuo heard this and immediately stood up and cupped his fists: "Marshal Du. In this battle, I assisted General Mu Lan, killed one Nascent Soul, retreated one Nascent Soul, and obtained some battle merits."
"Now, a great war is imminent. If I could consume battle merits to advance and take out some rare pills to help grow my physical foundation, it would also allow me to better serve the army!"
"Hmm?" Du Tiechuan looked up at Unlike Ning Zhuo, his gaze cold and his expression displeased, "I have always been strict in rewarding and punishing in my army."
"According to military discipline, this is not the time to reward based on merit."
"The entire army, including us, and the soldiers must strictly abide by it."
"This is no small matter! If I agree, it will undoubtedly damage the kingdom's system, harm military discipline, be unfair to other soldiers, shake the military heart, weaken morale, and cause great harm."
Unlike Ning Zhuo smiled bitterly: "Marshal, just taking out some pills to help grow the physical foundation."
"Perhaps you have some understanding of this junior's situation."
"According to your view, this junior only has Foundation Establishment cultivation. Charging into the battlefield, the risk is too great."
"If this junior's physical body could advance by leaps and bounds in a short time, this junior would definitely be able to add a quasi-Nascent Soul-level combat power to our army!"
Du Tiechuan shook his head slightly, his expression as cold as frost: "A mere quasi-Nascent Soul level, how much good effect can it have on the entire battle situation?"
"Do not mention this again."
"Get out!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo had no choice but to salute: "Obey, this junior takes his leave."
Song Ji saluted and followed him out.
Du Tiechuan sent a spiritual sense transmission to communicate with him secretly, asking for details: "Who gave Unlike Ning Zhuo such strong luck? Can Supply Officer Song calculate it?"
Song Ji replied secretly: "Very difficult."
"I am also very strange."
"According to common sense, the price paid by the person performing such a massive external luck blessing would be very significant."
"Who would sacrifice so much just to support Unlike Ning Zhuo?"
"Even if he is a child of a great clan and the most favored, it wouldn't be to this extent, right?"
"In addition, there is one more point that is a bit strange."
Du Tiechuan: "Hmm?"
Song Ji continued: "According to common sense, the external luck blessed by such means would be consumed very violently and could not last long."
"But I just calculated and discovered that the consumption of luck on Unlike Ning Zhuo is not that violent."
"There are even signs of being nourished recently."
Du Tiechuan pursued: "Why is this?"
Song Ji shook his head: "Fate is a hidden study; what I have learned is only the branches and leaves. The means to nourish external luck are strange and varied, and each has its own merits. It is difficult for me to judge."
Du Tiechuan: "Then forget it."
"Next, I will trouble Supply Officer Song to explore the enemy situation well."
"I believe that with your means, if the Dice Bone Demon God or Unlike Ning Zhuo are hiding anything, you will notice it."
Song Ji immediately obeyed, indicating that he would definitely do his best to execute this order.
Song Ji led Unlike Ning Zhuo alone to a tent.
Unlike Ning Zhuo released the Dice Bone Demon God: "Old Dice, you must tell everything you know. But if it involves your own safety, don't force yourself."
Unlike Ning Zhuo specifically cared.
The Dice Bone Demon God said: "Master, this old slave is not close to those people in the Thousand Peaks Forest. Everything I know, I have already told you, Master."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded: "This time, you are here, just say it again in front of Master Song."
Immediately, Unlike Ning Zhuo sent a spiritual sense transmission to Song Ji: "Trouble, Master, to use magic arts to detect it, strictly preventing the Dice Bone Demon God from bringing false intelligence and misleading our army."
"To tell you the truth, being able to subdue Him was entirely a coincidence."
"Until now, I am still a bit uneasy."
Song Ji saw Unlike Ning Zhuo take the initiative to request it, so he didn't hide anything and used many calculation means in front of him.
After about two cups of tea, Song Ji sent Unlike Ning Zhuo away.
Unlike Ning Zhuo didn't get the precious pills to raise his physical foundation from Du Tiechuan, nor was he disappointed.
After returning to the Three Generals Camp, he simply informed the three generals of the situation.
The three generals all breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhang Hei: "In this way, we muddled through?"
Guan Hong shook his head without speaking.
Liu Er said: "Shen Qinghe has also been secretly following us. It's just that we subdued the Dice Bone Demon God this time and returned victoriously, so Du Marshal didn't settle this account with us for the sake of the overall situation."
"According to my understanding of Du Tiechuan, this account will be settled sooner or later."
Unlike Ning Zhuo nodded, quite recognizing Liu Er's analysis.
Among the three, Liu Er was the most outstanding in analyzing others.
Bidding farewell to the three generals, Unlike Ning Zhuo returned to his own tent, drilled into the mechanical dragon, and began to manufacture mechanical puppets again.
Sun Lingtong was learning on the side, with a rich harvest.
By the afternoon of the next day, Sun Lingtong was already able to operate one of the mechanical platforms, helping Unlike Ning Zhuo save a lot of time and energy.
Unlike Ning Zhuo drilled into the Fetal Breath Spirit Skiff, borrowed the Fetal Breath Law Prohibition, was wrapped in heavy stone clothes, and began to raise his physical foundation.
By late night, he broke the stone clothes and returned to freedom.
He raced against time, squeezed himself, and marched forward without stopping to repair Yuan Dasheng and the Night Tiger.
These two Jin Dan-level mechanical puppets, although split into many pieces, had their spirituality undamaged, and the difficulty of repair was not very great.
"Sure enough, the effect is outstanding, Boss!" Unlike Ning Zhuo finished his first cultivation and clenched his fists, feeling unprecedented power brewing in his body.
Unlike Ning Zhuo sincerely praised Sun Lingtong: "To be able to invent this cultivation method, Boss, you are truly a genius!"
Sun Lingtong was praised until he was overjoyed, hands on his hips, laughing loudly: "That's right, that's right. I am your boss, Little Zhuo."
After cultivating like this for several days, Marshal Du issued a new military order.
He ordered the Red Flower Camp, the Three Generals Camp, and other armies to break camp and move several miles outward.
Then, he ordered the cancellation of the four city walls of Wood Wheel Town, used more than a dozen armies as a defensive line, and began large-scale construction.
In the logistics army, many array masters, refiners, and even individual mechanical masters collaborated, using all kinds of means.
Under the premise of sufficient resources, hundreds of cultivators built day and night, and soon built the foundation of a huge building.
Because Du Tiechuan did not forbid others from watching, this project attracted the attention of the entire army from the beginning.
No matter who it was, it was hard not to be curious—what was the purpose of such a grand and massive project?
In the evening, Unlike Ning Zhuo also took time to go out, left the Three Generals Camp, and observed the foundation of the building.
He saw that the foundation of the building was square, broad on all sides, and although it was only a foundation, it already appeared majestic.
The foundation was paved with a large amount of Dragon-Singing Stone.
On the surface of these dragon-singing stones, dragon patterns appeared and changed. As long as you put your ear on the stone, you could hear a faint dragon's roar.
As the stones were stacked on each other, the larger the scale, the clearer and more majestic the dragon's roar heard by outsiders.
Around the foundation, railings were set up.
The railings were thick and heavy, made of Thunder-Sky Iron, which itself was hard and could absorb and store thunder and lightning.
In the center of the foundation, a giant pillar was also built.
At the top of the giant pillar was embedded a dragon-soul pearl the size of a face. Unlike Ning Zhuo could see a dragon soul swimming and roaring inside the pearl with his naked eye.
"Dragon-Singing Stone is the stone material of the dragon vein, obtained after long-term national power infiltration and sublimation of essence. Therefore, it is also an excellent carrier for carrying and exerting national power."
"The dragon soul inside the Dragon-Soul Pearl is at least at the Soul Transformation level. Dragon souls are also the most capable of stirring the power of the dragon vein."
"Looking at it this way, it seems to be an altar, wanting to sacrifice a Soul Transformation-level dragon soul?"
"As expected of a commander of three armies, once he makes a move, it is a big deal!"
Unlike Ning Zhuo felt emotional, returned to the tent, and continued to cultivate hard.
In just three days, his strength soared more than ten times, and his skin and flesh were hard and tough, as if Unlike Ning Zhuo had wrapped his whole body in a layer of magic treasure-level leather armor.
He heard that the "altar" had been built to 60%, and various guesses and discussions in the army were noisy and extremely heated, so he took advantage of the rest time to watch from afar.
The huge building had been built more than halfway, and the trapezoidal overall appearance could already be seen.
Dragon-Singing Stone was still the most important material, paved from the foundation, stacked higher and higher.
At the foot of the building, cultivators began to pave a large amount of Glazed Jin Guang Bricks on the surface of the Dragon-Singing Stone. This kind of ceramic tile was often used by the royal palace, with a glazed texture, shining with gold light, brilliant and gorgeous, containing majesty in the richness.
Unlike Ning Zhuo felt puzzled by this: "Using Glazed Jin Guang Bricks doesn't look like building an altar."
He saw eight giant pillars built around the building. Each giant pillar was of the same height, half the height of the central Dragon-Soul Giant Pillar.
Each giant pillar was engraved with complex and gorgeous patterns. The top of the giant pillar was engraved with patterns of auspicious clouds and golden roc birds.
Unlike Ning Zhuo narrowed his eyes and barely identified some talismans and the trend of the array from the various patterns on the giant pillars.
"At least eight defensive talismans, twelve auxiliary talismans for coordinating the array."
"As for the array... there is no way to peek at the full picture, only seeing at least four layers of arrays."
Reaching this step, Unlike Ning Zhuo discovered that his array foundation was completely insufficient.
His mentality was very peaceful.
"Although I have read many books, in terms of level, it is only the family school and the library open to the outside world."
"Among the hundred arts of cultivation, the array is known for being complex, profound, and difficult to learn."
"I only learned some fur, and my accumulation in this area has just begun."
Although Unlike Ning Zhuo hadn't seen Du Tiechuan's plan yet, he had already made it clear that Du Tiechuan's hand was getting bigger and bigger.
He placed a heavy bet in this area!
"What exactly is he intending to do?" Not only Unlike Ning Zhuo, but other generals were also guessing endlessly.
Three days later.
This huge building that attracted the attention of the entire army was finally completed!
The trapezoidal high platform had a flat surface, with the central Dragon-Soul Giant Pillar standing.
Around the high platform, there were heavy railings and eight auspicious cloud golden roc giant pillars guarding it.
The array was activated, and the Glazed Jin Guang ceramic tiles on the surface of the high platform were integrated, no longer separated. The dragon shadows projected from the Dragon-Soul Pearl swam on the gold bricks, their postures vigorous, full of power and stretch.
And accompanied by the swimming of the dragon shadows, the surrounding soldiers could hear dragon roars echoing from the depths of their hearts.
If they focused their attention, the dragon roar would appear majestic and powerful. If their attention was elsewhere, the dragon roar was almost inaudible.
Two military flags were inserted on the surface of the high platform, flanking the left and right sides of the Dragon-Soul Giant Pillar.
The military flags fluttered in the wind, heavy arrays coordinated and operated, and the entire building radiated majestic military power.
At this point, the answer was revealed; this was a—Reviewing Platform.
Dragon Shadow Nine-Pillar Reviewing Platform!
On the day the Reviewing Platform was built, Du Tiechuan ordered the entire army to arrange a review.
On the second day after the Reviewing Platform was built, Du Tiechuan was fully armed, standing on the high platform, operating the military tactics in the Reviewing Platform.
He stood with his hands behind his back, looking down from a high position, watching one army after another circle around the Dragon Shadow Nine-Pillar Reviewing Platform and walk past his eyes.
The Three Generals Camp and the Red Flower Camp were among them.
As the Military Advisor, Unlike Ning Zhuo rode a horse and was positioned on one side of the three generals, Liu, Guan, and Zhang.
During the review process, he could clearly feel layers of invisible force sweeping over, and then stacking up layer by layer.
After the review ended, Unlike Ning Zhuo was drenched in sweat, his muscles sore and weak.
In order to resist the stacking of heavy invisible forces, he also tried his best to support himself.
"If it weren't for the fact that I fully promoted my physical cultivation recently, I fear I would have fallen off the horse during this review and made a fool of myself in public."
While Unlike Ning Zhuo was fortunate, he also had more guesses about Du Tiechuan's intentions through this personal experience.
Not only him, many generals also guessed Du Tiechuan's idea.
"So that's it!"
"Marshal Du is going to use his trump card means."
"I didn't expect that before the great war even started, the commander would exert his full strength. Truly looking forward to it!"
"Iron Flow Leveling the Plain! This move, how many years has it been since Marshal Du used it?"
