A Druid Also Can Cultivate

Chapter 504: Chapter 408: The "Steel" Torrent! (Part 2)

"That’s right, the Cyan Origin Academy’s war mobilization order has also been issued. Anyone who accomplishes meritorious deeds can not only exchange for generous rewards but also have a chance to gain heavenly fortune, the wonders of which I believe need no further explanation, right? This is a great crisis, but it also presents a rare opportunity of a lifetime!"

"In my opinion, those afraid of dying should stay in the rear and focus on logistics work, which can also earn significant contributions. Those who wish to charge forward should take the risk; during a realm war when the world is in upheaval, it’s also the best time for a breakthrough in cultivation. Seizing this opportunity can save countless years of rigorous cultivation!"

"Senior Feng has already created the best environment for us, but we cannot place all the burden on him. In a realm war, the Demon Race will certainly bring magical artifacts to project parts of their world. Such world-level power cannot be stopped by one person alone; each of us must enhance our strength and slay the enemy as much as possible, otherwise, when the world projection descends, even Mahayana Stage cultivators won’t withstand it..."

...

In an instant, the emergence of the Cyan Dragon Bloodline caused endless shock.

However, beyond the shock, it sparked more contemplation and concern about the future of the Star Sea Continent, and a resolve to defend the homeland!

Because through the life in the Nine Star Sea Realms during this period, nearly every cultivator trusts and reveres Qi Ping deeply, quickly developing a sense of belonging to the Nine Star Sea Realms and even to the entire Star Sea Continent.

Compared to the present conditions and life, what kind of trashy days did they live before!

So with a sense of identity and belonging and given enough benefits, it’s natural to inspire the urge to protect in the majority of people, making it almost impossible for anyone to conspire with the enemy out of hatred.

For instance, in certain places in the mortal world, some rulers oppress the people in their ruling areas to the utmost extent, causing the people to live in misery. Therefore, when these areas are invaded by enemy nations, the local people will actively guide the enemies for an invasion.

Such situations were possible in the past on the Star Sea Continent, too, because in certain Immortal Cultivation Realms, ordinary cultivators not only found it hard to ensure their safety but also harbored immense hatred toward the ruling sect. Once war broke out, betrayal was assured.

This is something Qi Ping was very worried about previously.

Because once a world-level war breaks out, the aggressor will surely bring with them magical artifacts to project their world’s projection over.

Under such circumstances, the war would evolve into a battle between two worlds.

During this time, if internal conflict arises or the fighting power and beings of one’s side are too few, their world will be crushed.

Facing such a situation, no matter how strong Qi Ping is, he would be powerless to save the situation!

This is also why, although the Immortal Cultivation Realm allows oppression and enslavement, extinction-level massacres are absolutely forbidden, because if a realm has even ten Mahayana Stage cultivators, but beneath them, the beings all perish, the entire realm will quickly decline to a low point.

Then, once other realms bring armies and world projections to attack, if the Mahayana Stage cultivators don’t flee, they will await death.

But even if these Mahayana Stage cultivators can escape, their original world will be wholly invaded and devoured, and having lost their original world, these Mahayana Stage cultivators can only go to special neutral places, and nowhere in All Heavens and Myriad Realms will look upon them as a complete entity. Their future path of cultivation will become increasingly difficult!

However, there is a special case, like the Demon Race. As a destruction-level beings of All Heavens and Myriad Realms, they do not have a world genuinely birthing them. The reason they can utilize world projections is primarily that the Emperor Level bloodline carriers among the Demon Race develop the ability to enslave worlds.

Although this enslavement will eventually lead to the complete collapse of the entire realm, during the period of enslavement, they can also use the power of the world projections.

This reason also results in the insanity of the Demon Race’s aggression, because if they cannot establish a new place using world projections before the realm they occupy collapses, their next attempt to conquer a realm will face the suppression of the entire world, and the risks faced will multiply exponentially.

They might even fall directly into the hands of opponents much weaker than themselves, so to survive, they’ll choose to invade another realm immediately after nearly consuming one!

This cycle repeats endlessly!

This is why Qi Ping is so worried upon learning of the Demon Race’s impending arrival.

In front of the Demon Race, he is not as worried about the Forest Sea Demon Realm.

Once the Demon Race moves, they will, for survival, kill every enemy they encounter!

Facing such a frenzied race, Qi Ping doesn’t know to what extent he can battle them, or whether the power of the Earth Immortal Druid can suppress the opponent’s world projection.

Therefore, to survive, he must build a super fortress that can withstand the enemy’s invasion, with the Earth Immortal Druid’s defense as one, and the Cyan Divine Army and other combat forces as another.

The reason for not considering a more widespread defense is that the Star Sea Continent is now too weak. Dispersing only ensures a swift defeat by the enemy!

However, if they abandon all places outside the Nine Star Sea Realms, the heavenly fortune and power of the entire Star Sea Continent would suffer a massive blow, to an extent even Qi Ping and everyone else couldn’t foresee.

So what he can do now is gather all core resources, beings, spirit veins, earth veins, and everything of the Star Sea Continent into the Nine Star Sea Realms, even having everyone call upon the Heavenly Dao Will, to ensure that even if other places fall into enemy hands, nothing will be left to them, the Star Sea Continent can still preserve its core power....

Thus, as long as the Nine Star Sea Realms remain unbroken, the Demon Race’s invasion will never be realized....

Additionally, the news that brings Qi Ping great excitement is that the great era has arrived!

Currently, under the influence of multifaceted forces, the Nine Star Sea Realms are witnessing a surge of heroes, with countless rare and unique physiques awakening, and many geniuses coming to the forefront!

Currently, these individuals are either arranged in the Cyan Divine Army and the Demon Suppression Hall or placed in core industries. With the support of these individuals, the military strength of the entire Nine Star Sea Realms is rapidly expanding at an extraordinary pace, and it’s imaginable that once they undergo the baptism of Blood of War, this pace will increase further!

Moreover, with the development of industries, the number of elixirs and weapons is also growing wildly, especially in attack treasures and defensive treasures, which have reached an extremely astonishing level.

The success in artifact refining is due to the most powerful mining team integrated by Cyan Origin Academy, equipped with weapons, frantically collecting all mineral sources outside the Nine Star Sea Realms. Under the sharing and innovation of mining techniques, a terrifying amount of mineral resources has been gathered.

Subsequently, based on these mineral resources, the Artifact Pavilion immediately integrated artifact refining masters from across the Star Sea Continent and artifact refining knowledge, and began creating various attack, defense, and support treasures in collaboration with the Demon Suppression Hall’s research.

Most recently, several sets of powerful standard military equipment have been developed, which are not merely ornamental gadgets but represent the pinnacle of current artifact refining achievements at every level on the Star Sea Continent!

Some Cyan Divine Army units are already fully equipped, and when they march out in conjunction with the military array created by Qi Ping, the destructive power they wield is astonishing even to Qi Ping, obliterating cultivators whose realm surpasses the army’s through the combination of battle array and treasures!

These army units combine the best cultivation techniques, magical treasures, battle arrays... etc., each Cyan Divine Army member is a genius capable of fighting beyond their level, and when these geniuses capable of fighting beyond their level join forces, the combat power unleashed is terrifying, capable of sweeping away all demons and monsters!

Originally a world where personal combat power was paramount, under Qi Ping’s iron-fisted methods, a uniquely terrifying military force is rapidly expanding at an alarming pace...
