Free Web NovelChapter 340: Chapter 170: Four Spirits and Eight Generals, Heart-Burning Dao Seed_3
Han Xiaoru’s eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Chen Ping, and she wondered if her junior brother had foresight, or perhaps it was truly Heaven’s Mandate.
By such a stroke of luck, coming to Primordial Mountain to obtain the Secret Manual, they unexpectedly thwarted a fierce assault by the East Celestial King.
"According to surrendered troops, Qingjiang Mansion originally had only over fifty thousand regular troops, commanded by Jiang Yuandong, without attacking cities or raiding the land. Meanwhile, the main force of the East Wood Army remained stationed in East Sea County, extensively training troops and suppressing local places.
Just recently, not long after Xiao Chengyun returned, under East Royal Lord Jiang Yuanhao’s command, three of the Four Spirits and Eight Generals, Vermilion Bird Xiao Tong, Baimei Spear Mei Yu, and Cangsong Sword Yu Hanshan, each led twenty thousand troops as vanguard to settle in Qingjiang...
Their target is very likely our Xingqing Prefecture.
"They really know how to choose their timing."
Chen Ping’s gaze was slightly cold.
Beizhou Hu Cavalry of a hundred thousand elite riders have already breached Celestial Gate Pass, currently attacking cities and raiding lands, advancing swiftly like a bamboo splitting, already reaching Wenyuan Prefecture...
Considered at most after another month, without unexpected setbacks, they will be able to break through Ling Mountain Prefecture, with their forces directly aiming at Xingqing.
At this moment, not only does the East Wood Army show no intention of joining forces against the Hu, but they also take the opportunity to attack first while Xingqing Prefecture has a sparse and weak military that hasn’t fully formed.
What kind of maneuvering is this, isn’t it easy to guess.
Nothing more than playing the game of picking chestnuts from the fire, waiting for an opportunity to seize advantage.
Since Jiang Yuanhao raised his army, he has fortified step by step, from a local noble of East Sea County, raising the flag of rebellion, becoming a major force in the southeast, without making a mistake in any step.
Under him, his military forces grew larger, many heroes have submitted to him, and he has gained quite a good reputation...
This man is probably much stronger than his reckless son.
Chen Ping, even though he came to this world not long ago, has heard of the name of the Four Spirits and Eight Generals.
He also knew that Jiang Yuanhao might have some ambitions for this realm.
However, he absolutely wouldn’t be the first to engage in a head-on fight with the Beizhou Hu Cavalry, choosing instead to secretly develop and play the waiting game.
Additionally, his forces’ geographical position is quite good, making it quite troublesome to attack.
He can attack forward, retreat for defense, which further fuels some of his ambitions.
"The Four Spirits and Eight Generals, huh? I wonder how they compare to the Earth List experts?"
Chen Ping pondered lightly, silently estimating the opponent’s military strength and realizing the East Wood Army stationed at Qingjiang Mansion now exceeds one hundred thousand troops, causing him quite a headache.
He knew that these commanders leading the troops were different from the Earth List Experts.
Maybe in one-on-one fights, they could not compare to those high-flying Jianghu masters, but as long as they command troops, gather Military Qi for an impact, even a Grandmaster would have to detour.
Just like Jiang Yuandong, in a hurry, with only three thousand cavalry setting up an array, before Chen Ping broke through to Grandmaster, he couldn’t do anything to him.
If commanding twenty thousand troops, forming the Cyan Wood Dragon Locking Array, with his current abilities, rushing into the array alone is a major problem.
Because people can get exhausted.
Especially when exerting full strength, even someone like Chen Ping from the Physical Body Realm Grandmaster cannot guarantee he can maintain full power for half an hour.
Moreover, Innate Grandmasters of the Qi Sect, their True Qi consumption is too heavy, and their strength wanes in less than a quarter of an hour.
The kind of masters who could fight for three days and nights with explosive strikes usually only appear in myths and tales.
Of course, under normal circumstances, Grandmasters are not foolish enough to charge a large army alone to fight recklessly.
The reason Chen Ping directly attacked the array previously was that Jiang Yuandong was too careless and did not activate the array in advance, catching him off guard.
The second time, he assessed the opponent’s combat power, confident he could handle it.
It wasn’t sheer recklessness.
"Tomorrow morning, set off immediately."
Chen Ping felt that with the Azure Dragon Seal on him, as time goes by, his forces under him will become stronger day by day. There’s no need to keep provoking Qingjiang Mansion; it’s better to leave early.
"Yes."
Han Xiaoru quickly entered the state, immediately commanding everyone to set up camp.
When she initially took over command of the troops, she was somewhat frantic, looking around for help.
Later, her orders became clear, issuing commands, appointing a few junior officers, quickly organizing the two thousand troops in an orderly manner.
...
"Senior sister, relax your body, relax your spirit, absolutely shouldn’t have a resisting heart."
A single lamp flickered.
In the military tent, Han Xiaoru was somewhat nervous.
She sullenly uttered a nasal sound, her face full of determination.
"Come on, I’m not afraid."
Chen Ping chuckled openly, collecting all emotions, concentrating heart and spirit intensely, radiating a fiery shine, his fingers like swords touching Han Xiaoru’s brow.
The Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique and Celestial Heart Bright Moon Sword are of the same level Cultivation Techniques.
The average person can’t even reach Entry level.
Only talents as exceptional as Hua Lian’er, whose physique and talent are particularly suited to this Cultivation Technique, would have some hope practicing it.
Chen Ping suspected, if Han Xiaoru tried practicing this Cultivation Technique herself, even if she trained till old age, achieving Proficient Realm would be remarkable.
After all, apart from physical talent, he couldn’t sense other talents in Han Xiaoru; she seemed somewhat foolish, behaving in a way that often drew her mother Sima Rou to knock on her head.
Her spiritual talent, he guessed, might even be negative.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t foolishly be captured by the Seven-Colored Hall’s Chizi Hall schemes, rendered useless entirely.
However, wanting to rapidly advance the Primordial Golden Body Technique’s realm, creating a stream of Grandmasters in a short time, mastering the Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique is necessary.
Not saying reaching Perfection Realm, but Great Success Realm is still needed.
Otherwise, most likely the situation faced by the Primordial Sect’s fifth ancestor would occur, cultivation reaching a certain level, emotional influence by hidden Demonic Intent within Star Power.
By then, they would backslide, renouncing ties, practicing away their nature.
Therefore, Chen Ping devised a way using the Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique’s Perfection cultivation to condense a Martial Intent Dao Seed and imprint it onto Han Xiaoru’s heart lake.
Only with Heart Techniques can such maneuvers be performed.
It’s akin to artificially adding a mental processor to Han Xiaoru.
Once Star Power enters the body, it automatically purifies, while the Dao Seed’s power is thin but of high quality.
As long as Han Xiaoru controls the speed of Star Essence Body Refining, there will be no problems.
This way, she only needs to operate the Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique.
No need to practice from scratch.
Naturally, this practice benefits Chen Ping too.
He discovered the three illusory suns floating in his heart lake, refining Demonic Intent of Star Power, transforming into the purest spiritual power.
During Han Xiaoru’s cultivation process, she also indirectly strengthens that Dao Seed, continuously enhancing his own spiritual strength.
This led him to think all Primordial Sect disciples can be cultivated this way.
With their physical foundation reaching Iron Body Realm Perfection, they could recklessly advance, yet there are too few Primordial Sect disciples.
To nurture them from scratch, even rapidly it requires three to five years, which is somewhat a slow remedy for an urgent case.
"Does this count as sowing seeds across the world?"
Watching Han Xiaoru enthusiastically operate the Three Yang Heart-Burning Technique Dao Seed, guiding Star Power into the body, increasing her cultivation bit by bit, her body shining brighter with silver light, Chen Ping felt gratified and a touch relieved.
He mused internally, "Was the Celestial Star Sect of old also using this method to cultivate numerous disciples?
Such a powerful Technique Sect, yet it became ruins.
This world is vast and dangerous, one mustn’t be too reckless."
After a brief self-reflection to suppress the sense of pride.
Chen Ping knew, starting from today, he would possess a legion of formidable warriors that could never betray him.
No matter their character, no matter their beliefs, as long as they needed his Dao Seed for cultivation, they could never harbor two-hearted intentions.
Otherwise, dispersing the Dao Seed and reclaiming the processor, their Cultivation Techniques would never advance in the slightest.
It might even regress significantly.
After savoring gourmet seafood, who would want to endure coarse fare?
The drastic disparity would drive crazy any martial artist with dreams.
