Chapter 328
As night fell, the Cui family members were polishing their foundations when they were suddenly summoned to the drill ground and began to forge their Dao Foundations.
This time it was very sudden, but in fact, everyone had long been prepared, so they were not panicked and, after warming up with two consecutive 'Moments of All Living Beings', officially began to forge.
Among the more than three hundred people, more than half chose the new Dao Foundation template provided by Wei Yuan: the Bright Light Sword.
After several improvements, the difficulty of forging this sword had been lowered by another step; naturally, the corresponding power had also decreased. This sword had two effects: one was scorching heat, with heat rising around the body when held; the second was bright light, with the sword body burning with a faint fire, but the light was very dazzling; if manifested at night, it could illuminate the surrounding ten zhang, and the momentum was very extraordinary.
Since the birth of the Bright Light Sword, the bottom line for human-rank Dao Foundations had been lowered a little more.
The rest of the people mostly chose to comprehend the Immortal Sword False Sun; this immortal sword at least had some divinity.
Although Wei Yuan had not been in the domain for a period of time in the past, many monks in the domain had cultivated the Immortal Sword False Sun, so there was no lack of objects for reference and comprehension.
This time it went quite smoothly; by midnight, more than thirty people had already forged their Dao Foundations.
They had just stabilized their realms and hadn't had time to celebrate when Cui Yu appeared in front of everyone with several monks. The monks behind Cui Yu were carrying several large boxes, all filled with heavy armor.
Cui Yu issued a set of heavy armor to every Cui family disciple who had forged a Dao Foundation, and then said: "There is an opportunity, an opportunity to obtain the Heavenly Merit of the Grand Void Gate. Since you have already forged your Dao Foundations, you have the qualifications to participate. Do you want it?"
These Cui family disciples had no hope of forging Dao Foundations, so naturally, they couldn't enter the Grand Void Gate. But even if they weren't disciples of the Grand Void Gate, if they had merit recognized by the Grand Void Gate, they could still exchange for supplies. Most importantly, this was glory, this was recognition; after returning to the Cui family, they could brag about it for a lifetime!
Don't you see how many Dao Foundation disciples of the Grand Void Gate didn't have Heavenly Merit, and if they, these good-for-nothings in the eyes of the world, got it, wouldn't it be a perfect counter-attack?
The group of newly promoted Dao Foundation cultivators asked: "Then how can we get the opportunity?"
"Very simple, one point of Heavenly Merit for two thousand taels of immortal silver. Those who want it must pay four thousand taels each first; those who don't have enough immortal silver can use magic tools or treasures as collateral. After the matter is successful, it will be refunded or supplemented based on the amount of Heavenly Merit obtained; those who don't get Heavenly Merit won't be charged a penny."
Everyone was moved; this was simply buying fame with silver, and there was such a good thing? If it hadn't been Cui Yu who said it, they would definitely have thought they had encountered a swindler.
Someone came over, climbing the relationship, and asked: "Little Uncle-Grandfather, will there be such opportunities in the future?"
Cui Yu looked impatient: "There is only such an opportunity in tomorrow's battle; I don't know when the next time will be! Do you want it or not? If you don't, I'll find someone else."
"We want it, we want it, we want it!" The group of newly promoted Dao Foundation cultivators from the Cui family answered repeatedly.
They originally felt sorry for the immortal silver, but thinking that they were already Dao Foundation monks and their future would be completely different, couldn't they earn back the mere immortal silver? So one by one, they gritted their teeth and paid the money and goods, and no one was willing to fall behind. As good-for-nothings of the Cui family, they weren't good at fighting, but couldn't they spend money?
After collecting the immortal silver, Cui Yu's attitude changed immediately, and he patiently exhorted: "In tomorrow's battle, remember to be fully focused; the opportunity might only be for an instant, and if you miss it, it's gone. After you go to the battlefield, you must completely obey orders; if you are told to attack, attack, if you are told to run, run; absolutely do not have any ideas of your own; the most taboo thing is to be clever. Do you understand?"
Everyone nodded one after another, and Cui Yu added: "Very good, tomorrow morning several Senior Brothers from the Grand Void Gate will come over, and you only need to follow them closely and obey their instructions. They will protect your safety; for every three of you, one Grand Void Gate disciple will be assigned to protect you personally. Now you cultivate this mental formula, and the Heavenly Merit will be recorded automatically."
This arrangement was very thoughtful.
These Cui family disciples had just been hit by a pie from the sky and forged their Dao Foundations; they were at the time when they cherished their lives the most and absolutely did not want to risk their lives at this time.
At this time, Wei Yuan was standing by the drill ground, holding a list in his hand, which listed all the Tianqing Hall and Shuiyue Hall disciples who had come to be tempered this time.
Wei Yuan picked up his pen and, without thinking, crossed out several names; in the end, ten people remained on the list. When crossing out the names, Wei Yuan's mind was empty, and it was completely random; whoever was crossed out by him was truly unlucky, and it had absolutely nothing to do with Wei Yuan's own emotions.
At least that's what Wei Yuan thought himself.
Subsequently, Wei Yuan had all the Tianqing Hall and Shuiyue Hall monks on the list summoned and said: "Attacking Wucheng tomorrow, there should be many opportunities to gain Heavenly Merit. You follow those people from the Cui family; they have just forged their Dao Foundations, and their combat power can be ignored, so you must protect them well."
Two Tianqing Hall disciples secretly transmitted their voices:
"Why protect those good-for-nothings well?"
"Do you still need to ask? They paid money!"
"Understood!" Wei Yuan pretended not to hear these transmissions and continued: "When the major battle begins tomorrow, you act according to military orders; when the time comes, I will naturally let you make a move. At that time, you will attack together with those people from the Cui family; as for how much Heavenly Merit you can get, it depends on your own ability."
Speaking of this, Wei Yuan smiled and said: "Those of us from the Tianqing and Shuiyue Halls won't fight less than a group of human-rank Dao Foundation cultivators, right?"
The ten young people from the Tianqing and Shuiyue Halls all laughed.
Wei Yuan just wanted to leave when Fei Yutong followed and asked: "Senior Brother Wei, why didn't the other Senior Brothers come?"
Wei Yuan said: "They will follow the army to attack the city tomorrow; although they can only get some merit, this is real war merit, and the responsibility is heavy."
"Then some people are arranged to get Heavenly Merit, and some follow the army; how is this divided?" the young girl pursued relentlessly.
Wei Yuan said: "Divided randomly."
"I see; I won't lack Heavenly Merit in the future, so why not exchange my quota for someone else's!"
Wei Yuan frowned slightly and said sternly: "This time I randomly drew ten people, and no one can say anything; it's just a difference in luck. But if you change it like this, the nature of the whole thing changes; as long as there is selection, it is inevitable that there will be suspicion of favoritism. You have no experience yet, don't add to my trouble, just listen to the arrangements."
Seeing Wei Yuan suddenly become stern, Fei Yutong didn't dare to speak.
When the first ray of dawn appeared on the horizon, the army that had long been prepared for battle set out from the domain and marched toward Wucheng in a mighty force.
!.
On the walls of Wucheng, the four Great Shamans looked at the rolling military energy, but their expressions were very relaxed. At this time, another Great Shaman wrapped in a silver-white robe appeared behind them; its aura fluctuated, which was extremely strange.
"Hmph, that Wei Yuan doesn't think there are only four Great Shamans in the city, does he?"
"Even if he discovers the arrival of Lord Shui, so what? With Lord Shui here, this city is impregnable!"
"Those strange cylinders of the human race that can explode are very powerful and must be guarded against."
The Great Shaman in the silver-white robe looked outside the city, and a moment later said: "The human race has already come out in full force; open the array now, I will go to the altar to preside over it. Those cylinders you mentioned can be left to me."
It turned back and flew to the altar, the city defense array was opened, and there were patches of milky-white light in the array, which were clearly different from the past.
Countless elite Shaman troops were on the city walls, ready for battle. Inside the city, multiple bed crossbows were set up. The Shaman bed crossbows were completely different from the human race's; their bed crossbows came with their own altars and could use the sacrificial power stored in the Great Altar to launch various powerful curses.
This kind of bed crossbow was mainly to deal with human powerhouses flying over the city and attacking from a high position.
From the first ray of dawn until near noon, the various armies of the domain were just marching, advancing to the predetermined areas, faintly surrounding Wucheng.
The few Great Shamans in the city were originally a little uneasy, but after seeing that the human troops coming out of the domain totaled only sixty or seventy thousand, they all felt relieved.
At this moment, there were twelve thousand soldiers in Wucheng alone, plus nearly two hundred thousand civilians. If these human armies left the domain, they were afraid they couldn't even beat the two hundred thousand Shaman civilians.
The few Great Shamans were therefore not worried about the outcome of this battle, but were concerned about their own safety. In their cognition, these humans in Qingming seemed to have mediocre strength, but their methods were one more ruthless and terrifying than the next, and it was easy to die if one was not careful.
In the last battle, how arrogant and fierce was the Great Shaman Yanxin, but the result was that several thousand years of lifespan were almost wiped out by a single shot, and less than a hundred remained; this was truly the end of the Dao path, worse than death. If Yanxin had this kind of outcome, how could they dare not be careful and cautious?
Wei Yuan waited for the various troops to march to the designated positions, his mind moved, and Qingming immediately shot out a ray of light, piercing the firmament!
The Qingming Domain was no longer moving forward slowly, but expanding at full speed like a tidal wave! The few Great Shamans in the city looked at the rolling domain, all dumbfounded!
In an instant, the Qingming Domain covered Wucheng, and the city defense array appeared to have obvious fluctuations under the suppression of the Human Domain. Subsequently, more than ten steel cylinders of various sizes whistled and arrived, falling toward Wucheng.
