After their researchers investigated and cooked the sample for consumption, they found that the special power contained in the corpses of the giant beasts is very beneficial to those practicing fringe methods of the Immortal Path, effectively enhancing body cultivation. For us in Longyu, practicing the Orthodox Immortality Path, the effect is relatively small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Ji Youyu’s explanation, Li Jing expressed surprise and then understanding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, the God Kingdom’s desire to shatter the Alien Civilization within the Spacial Passage was not just due to impatience, but also craving the body of the Alien Civilization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yini didn’t mention this to him, obviously she didn’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If even Jiang Yini didn’t know about this, the news was probably heavily concealed. The special power contained in the giant beast corpse must have more than just a ’great effect’ on those practicing fringe methods of the Immortal Path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the topic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The researchers of God Kingdom were also quirky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sample given to them for analysis was eaten directly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How did they cook the giant pork that needed Fox Fire to barely roast?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The conditions offered by the God Kingdom are very generous, Longyu has no reason to refuse. We will fully cooperate.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chen spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After entering the Spatial Passage, the frontal assault will be carried out by the God Kingdom’s team, and our Longyu’s team’s main task is to clean up the surviving Alien Civilization and collect resources as much as possible. But there is an exception, Counselor Li, you will temporarily join the God Kingdom’s team, go to the front line to assist Commander Orville in coordinating the war situation.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he finished speaking, Orville very decisively handed over a communication headset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Counselor Li, you have had conflicts with the Alien Civilization and provided us with a lot of useful information. But for a real fight, we still need someone who has truly contended with the Alien Civilization to coordinate the war situation, and this responsibility must fall on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying so, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am not beating around the bush with you, Counselor Li. As long as you are willing to assist in this matter, regardless of the outcome, we, the Northern God Kingdom, will provide you with an opportunity to lead three hundred-thousand men into the God Kingdom’s Secret Realm Space.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Qi Chen said that he had to go to the front line to assist Orville in coordinating the war situation, Li Jing was somewhat hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wouldn’t mind going to the front line at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But coordinating the war situation...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew his own limits.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could kill monsters, sure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he wasn’t fit to be a leader...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Orville’s conditions left him no room to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An opportunity to take three hundred-thousand men into the God Kingdom’s Secret Realm Space was not only irresistible to him, but also Longyu would not allow him to refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It means countless resources and might also bring unlimited opportunities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No faction has allowed outsiders to set foot in their domain opened up in the Secret Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless some weaker nations that lack the ability to explore independently had to seek foreign aid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This move by the God Kingdom was truly unprecedented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such concessions, how could Longyu not pay attention?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Li Jing personally, it was another tangible hope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even with Jiang Yini’s support, he might not get the chance to participate in the Secret Realm created by Longyu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like this time, Longyu, which controls nearly two thousand towns, only managed to send the 25 Cities Administration. Others were either too far away or not included in the exploration plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only participate based on the premise that the Jianghai Management Bureau could participate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the promise given by Orville, he could enter any future Secret Realm within the Northern God Country for exploration. That was certainly many more opportunities than he would have had with the Jianghai Management Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Turning his head to look at Ji Youyu and the other two who were all staring at him, Li Jing accepted the communication earpiece handed over by Orville and laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s rare that Commander Orville values me so highly, I’d be ignorant if I refused.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accepting the offer, Orville gave a big smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need for such courteous words, let’s just finish this mission first, and each of our exploration teams can take what they need.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"When we hit the frontline, people from our God Kingdom tend to get carried away, myself included. On the battlefield, I will grant you, Counselor Li, the highest command power equal to mine. You can help me consider the bigger picture instead of focusing solely on slaughtering alien species and overlooking certain things.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Listening to Orville’s somewhat naive and honest words, Li Jing was both amused and incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Commander was going to the front line and kept admitting that he would get carried away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, was he drafted largely because Orville felt that he would get carried away and needed someone reliable to command the task?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would have liked to tell Orville, if it were appropriate to do so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother, you found the wrong person. Once we enter the spatial passage, I might lose control more than you.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Li Jing looked at the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Has anyone considered that the Alien Civilization might have the ability to shut down the spatial passage?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville waved his hand and said carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The opening and closing of spatial passages are essentially a result of the enormous energy produced by the interlacement of parallel spaces, leading to the connection of two spaces. Although we are not yet capable of actively opening a spatial passage, there are scientific theories that we can prolong the closing of an opening passage. As long as there is powerful energy, we can keep the passage open. To achieve this, our God Kingdom has developed a purely energy-based nuclear warhead. With enough of them, it can last for two hours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing couldn’t help but twitch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>God Kingdom had some advanced technology that others lacked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he never expected that they could develop a purely energy-based nuclear warhead to forcibly prolong the closing of an opening spatial passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that was very typical of the God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the all-around development of Longyu, the God Kingdom has long had a preference for developing more crude and direct solutions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Technological challenges that could be solved by conventional means are often solved in their hands in unthinkable yet surprisingly effective unconventional ways.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like the current problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The technology of space is being researched by all powers around the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Longyu probably also has the technology to forcibly prolong the closing of a spatial passage, but the technology involved must be extremely complex and nothing like the simple and crude method used by the God Kingdom.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Li Jing was feeling this way, Orville spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no need for us to devise any detailed operation strategies. The alien species in the space channel are very cunning. Though we have entered and interacted with them several times, they always conduct negotiations with us behind the entrance. We have no idea what’s inside the space, so we have to play it by ear as we move forward.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he looked at Li Jing and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are a few things I need to clarify. The Alien Species behind the Secret Realm are different from the ones you have encountered. At least so far, none of our people have seen any bird-people. The aliens we have come into contact with are the intelligent snake-headed humanoid species. Other than this, their situations are generally similar to what you’ve encountered. The snake people didn’t have a high level, but they had Giant Beast followers whose levels reached the Sixth Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Those snake people can’t speak the human language, but they possess the ability to communicate with humans through their thoughts. It’s hard to say whether the Giant Beasts have this ability. The hierarchy among the Alien Species is very strict. We have tried to silently communicate with the Giant Beasts, but never received a response.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then there are the Seventh Realm existences among these Alien Species. We have to be prepared for unexpected situations. We, the God Kingdom, have researched this matter and developed a response strategy. Of course, this situation may not necessarily occur. The Seventh Realm existences among the Alien Species must have been subjected to certain restrictions, otherwise they would have confronted our exploration team earlier instead of sending representatives and Giant Beasts to negotiate with us and offer attractive conditions. With only three hours, we won’t be able to explore much and the likelihood of encountering them is very small.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing listened to Orville’s words and nodded silently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also guessed that the Seventh Realm beings among the Alien Species were subject to restrictions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he didn’t encounter any Seventh Realm beings when he previously entered the spatial passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After wiping out the Giant Beast Corps with a forbidden skill, the enemy did not react furiously by dispatching similar beings to try to kill him. Instead, they chose to forcibly close the entrance to the passage, forcing him to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s all I have to say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville spoke, then looked at Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Finally, there’s one last thing I need to ask Counselor Li. Counselor Li, you managed to annihilate the Giant Beast Corps single-handedly using a forbidden skill. Your level of forbidden skills must be quite high. Before the battle, I hope you can use a forbidden skill to create a safe zone at the entrance of the passage for our North Major League and Longyu teams to enter. This way, we can effectively avoid many unnecessary casualties. If the Alien Civilization closes the spatial passage as a result, we can practically verify whether our God Kingdom’s pure energy nuclear warhead can sustain the opening of the passage entry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s eyes brightened at the news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the overall commander, he had to buckle up and be ready to face the music, but he was ready to put in effort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for killing the monsters, that had become a side job.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville might get carried away with his fighting and Li Jing may end up in the same state if he’s not careful. The situation could become quite unfavorable, with a significant number of casualties likely to occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the large troops going in, he had little hope of deploying a forbidden skill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The North Major League wouldn’t be sending all its forces into the Secret Realm Space, but the number of people going this time would definitely not be small.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Linglong Tower couldn’t protect so many people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he were to deploy the World Thunder Punishment once he sees the enemy, he might end up killing a large number of his own troops before the enemy suffered any casualties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now Orville had given him an opportunity...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Excellent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without hesitation, Li Jing nodded resolutely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That can be arranged. I’ll go in first and fire a shot.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville agreed, saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since we have made a decision, the operation will begin in an hour. The North Major League will prepare as soon as possible, and you guys from Longyu also need to hurry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he turned to Ji Youyu and the other two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"After the Western World’s alliance discovers our invasion, they will take action. We will need your help to fend them off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chen nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Orville was a classic case of a big man with big wisdom, capable of both the big picture and nuances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder he was able to become the chief commander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling Li Jing to participate in the war and letting him undertake the responsibility of commanding and coordinating the overall situation seemed a bit casual.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The strategy for the battle was not well-defined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in terms of details, Orville covered every aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the discussions, he bid farewell to Li Jing and the others and went straight to making arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing’s group did not stay for long in the God Kingdom’s camp, and quickly returned to where the exploration team from the 25th city administration of Longyu Country, who were here to support the Northern Major League, were stationed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon landing, Ji Youyu looked at Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Counselor Li, this battle is a direct collision with the alien civilization, please be careful. Besides, I have a bit of a selfish request, if possible, please capture one or two aliens alive for me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said with a somewhat shy smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am this alien commissioner who has arrived at an inopportune time. I haven’t even seen what the aliens look like yet, and the God Kingdom is preparing for war. My personal strength is low and I can’t participate in such large-scale wars, so I seem a bit superfluous in this Big Secret Realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s simple, I should encounter the snake people immediately after I enter the spatial passage. Then I’ll catch one and send it out directly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing nodded and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu made a request, and he certainly agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She may be a leader, but Ji Youyu’s status and identity were obviously very special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alien Civilization Commissioner, that’s nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key is, she has a Taoist Junior from the Sixth Realm as her bodyguard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such treatment, there are probably few in the entire Longyu who could have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Any fool could see that her background wasn’t ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, seeing Li Jing promptly agreeing to her request, Ji Youyu’s face was all smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Great, then I rely on Counselor Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing, of course, had no feelings for her smile. He nodded at her, Qi Chen, and Tong-yan, and left for the Heavenly King Group’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On their return, they had already discussed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Counting the seven teams from the Seven Cities Administration which had already been at the ruins, a total of thirty-five large groups of ten thousand people each had come from Longyu to support the Northern Major League this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the Heavenly King Group led by Li Jing, fifteen of the large groups were drawn to participate in the spacial passage battle, leaving the remaining twenty groups to guard against the movements of the Western powers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The battle was going to start in an hour, he had to rush to make arrangements.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chen and the others stood watching Li Jing walk away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing him approaching the camp of the Heavenly King Group, Tong-yan withdrew her gaze, turned her head and looked at Qi Chen and asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Based on what we currently know, this Li Jing is just connected to Chen Jing and has learned a forbidden skill by virtue of having the Immortal King Command. Brother, what do you mean by the hints you gave me and Sister Youyu? Is there something noteworthy about him?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu also turned her head and looked at Qi Chen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meeting the gaze of both, Qi Chen smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He knows about the sect’s affairs.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon receiving this answer, both Tong-yan and Ji Youyu were stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without waiting for their reactions, Qi Chen whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But judging from his behavior, he likely came to know about the sect by chance, rather than being a Taoist disciple who has come to experience the secular world. It’s too easy to expose. \"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, he squinted slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What really needs to be noted is that his cultivation is quite peculiar. I can’t perceive his actual realm.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah? Even you can’t perceive his realm, Brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong-yan uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu furrowed her brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, your Sword’s Heart has been cultivated to the Clear Realm, and can easily observe others’ realms and cultivation. This Li Jing... could he already have stepped into the Seventh Realm, surpassing you by a whole realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlikely.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qi Chen shook his head and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The official information is not wrong, Li Jing’s bone age is only twenty-one. For him to reach the Fifth Realm at such an age, while he’s not a prodigy in the Holy Land, it’s not far off.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he continued,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This person is a bit special, we need to pay more attention.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Interesting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu murmured, looking towards the direction of the Heavenly King Group’s camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As you might have noticed, he agreed to lead the charge into the spatial passage and clear the field with forbidden skills without any hesitation. It’s clear that the management bureau action report about him wiping out several Six Realm Giant Beast Corps by using the forbidden skill is not a lie. The mastery he displayed after learning the forbidden skill for only two months is shocking.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"According to what we know, it is certainly not Li Jing’s first time to kill enemies beyond his realm. But to be able to do such things with the strength of the Fifth Realm, it’s not just about the mastery of the forbidden skill. The aspect of ’luck’ is certainly there, but the ’luck’ he managed to get is undoubtedly a display of his strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following her words, Ji Youyu looked at Tong-yan directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tong-yan, you try to get in touch with him later to probe his strength.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tong-yan frowned at the sound of this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You look young, it’s easier to talk to men.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Youyu smiled and said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry about the connection with Chen Jing now, prioritizing finding out if he is from the Taoist school. If he is not from the Taoist school, we shouldn’t try to recruit him, just keep our distance.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>",4401,"2026-06-06T07:41:35.216Z",1,"novelbin.me","f77a182a26ec71e308b9f167978c4653079584d395b699f92164cd14865a5b0a","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-260","why-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-chapter-258",719,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fwhy-do-all-these-monsters-have-health-bars-cover.jpg"]
