Longevity by Picking up Attributes in the Battlefield

Chapter 1180: Chapter 506: Northern Continent, Mark! Dragon Clan’s Choice! (Part 2)

In an instant, Tianxuan Mirrors appeared in the void above various cities across the Great Qin Territory.

On the mirror’s surface, large golden characters shone brightly. This was declared by Shaofu, announced personally by one of the Nine Ministers of Great Qin, Yu Liao, each word carrying undeniable authority.

"The recruitment selection has ended."

Among the crowd in many cities, some people were surprised, widening their eyes and couldn’t help but speak: "It’s really so fast?"

"I signed up, but didn’t go to the government office for cultivation and talent testing. How could it be decided so quickly?"

Another person was full of confusion.

"Hahaha, brother, don’t you know the power of Tianxuan Mirror?"

A martial cultivator explained with a smile: "After registration, Tianxuan Mirror immediately opens up a space to test cultivation and root bone. After passing the test, it is recorded by the mirror."

"I see, I was wondering why suddenly a testing space was opened after registration, so that’s what happened." The person realized, patting his own head.

"Haha, great, I passed the elite soldiers recruitment selection, Shaofu has already issued the mark, and I’ve been assigned to the East Continent Camp."

A young martial cultivator excitedly waved his arms, a joyful smile on his face.

"I was not selected, my talent was lacking a bit, alas." Someone was dejected, his face full of disappointment.

"I was selected too, granted the selection mark from Shaofu, can use this mark to go to the county mansion, sit the transmission array, and head to the state, then gather at the capital."

"The Capital of Great Qin, who would have thought I had a chance to go."

"I was assigned to the West Continent Camp, that’s great."

"I’m also in the East Continent Camp, the Shangjiangjun there is Senior General Zhang Han, one of the top contenders of Great Qin, a Martial Arts Supreme! It’s said that when the Crown Prince was in the mortal world, Senior General Zhang Han followed the Crown Prince in battling enemies."

"Wei Quan and Chen Tao are the same, they were war generals under the Crown Prince in the past, now they are strong contenders at the Martial Arts Supreme Realm."

With the announcement of successful selection for elite soldiers, countless people across the Great Qin Territory were thrilled.

Of course, many cultivators who signed up left with disappointment because they were eliminated.

With the establishment of the four major camps, everything in Great Qin proceeded in an orderly manner.

The perspective shifts to Huaguo Mountain.

With Sun Wukong’s return, the monkey group previously enslaved by the Demon Lord of Mayhem successfully returned to Shuilian Cave.

As for the Demon Lord of Mayhem, he was blasted to death with a punch by Sun Wukong.

The seventy-two cave demon kings of Huaguo Mountain were all subdued by Sun Wukong one by one.

"Great King."

An elderly monkey with slightly grey hair respectfully approached Sun Wukong, bowing: "Now Huaguo Mountain is under Great King’s control, the monkeys and their descendants have all been taught the cultivation method by Great King, but they all lack weapons."

"It is said that in the East Sea, there resides the Dragon King. In their treasury, there are endless weapons."

"If Great King goes to the Dragon Palace, you will surely obtain weapons, enhancing Huaguo Mountain’s self-preservation capabilities."

Looking at this old monkey.

"This Buddhist Sect again."

Sun Wukong looked at the old monkey, coldly pondering in his heart.

Now he is no longer the Monkey King who never stepped into cultivation.

Sun Wukong has already entered the Martial Arts King Realm, strong in power.

He possesses top-grade innate spiritual treasures from Zhao Feng that protect his soul and physical body, and has received some sort of invisible support.

With just one glance, Sun Wukong saw through the Samantabhadra Primordial Spirit attached to the old monkey.

"The elder said back then." Sun Wukong thought to himself: "Following the arrangements of the Buddhist Sect will allow me to leverage their power to become stronger, just take whatever good comes of it, after all, it’s the Buddhist Sect who bears the brunt when troubles arise."

Thinking like this, Sun Wukong didn’t intend to expose the old monkey being possessed, pretending he saw nothing.

"Is there really endless weapons in the East Sea?" Sun Wukong intentionally showed great interest as he asked.

"Great King." A flash of cunning crossed the old monkey’s eyes, he confidently said: "I have lived for hundreds of years, in the past, I have seen the wealth of the Dragon Clan, as long as you enter the Dragon Palace, Great King is sure to obtain weapons."

"Alright then." Sun Wukong nodded heavily, standing up directly, with his hair fluttering in the wind: "I’ll go to the Dragon Palace now, to request weapons for the monkeys and their descendants."

"Great King." The old monkey continued: "Not just requesting weapons for the monkeys and their descendants. I see Great King is strong in divine skills, but you have no weapon at hand, one day when fighting enemies, it’s inevitable you’d fall short. The Dragon Palace is full of treasures, Great King can certainly obtain divine weaponry from there, definitely strengthening Great King’s power."

"I know." Sun Wukong nodded earnestly, his form flickered, transforming into a golden light, disappearing instantly from Shuilian Cave.

Watching Sun Wukong’s departing figure, the old monkey revealed a calculating smile, muttering lowly: "Even though this monkey has reached the Taiyi level, ultimately he hasn’t escaped our Buddhist Sect’s control, now still moving step by step according to our planned arrangement."

"As for the Qin Court... After all these years, it seems they have truly abandoned this monkey."

Sun Wukong somersaulted, arriving above the East Sea.

Looking down at the surging sea below, the waves roared like charging horses, resonating with deafening sounds.

"The East Sea Dragon Palace, huh?"

"Old Sun truly wants to see."

Without any hesitation, Sun Wukong immediately wrapped himself tightly with True Yuan, then headed straight down into the sea.

At the same time, his divine thought quickly spread out, searching everywhere for the location of the East Sea Dragon Palace.

Since the Buddhist Sect has arranged this script, Sun Wukong decided to act in accordance.

Furthermore, Samantabhadra mentioned that the Dragon Palace is full of countless treasures.

This time, he intends to collect quite a lot, indeed able to strengthen his own power.

Inside the East Sea Dragon Palace, the hall was lavishly decorated, coral and pearls shining together.

"Father."

Dragon King’s Crown Prince appeared flustered, speaking with heavy concern in his voice: "According to coastal water clan reports, now the Qin Court is expanding their military, they’ve increased troops substantially this time."

"Moreover, they have deployed numerous troops on the land connected to our East Sea, will they make a move on us?"

Given such words.

It’s evident how worried he is.

And sitting on the throne, Dragon Sea Dragon King frowned, filled with worry and helplessness.

"Alas."

Aoguang sighed, speaking slowly: "Back then, the Crown Prince of Qin entered our Dragon Clan, even entered Dragon Abyss and met three old ancestors."

"Originally."

"The three dragon ancestors intended to lean towards the Qin Court and seek cooperation."

"But the Qin Court is not the same as the Heavenly Court, they want to completely dominate our Dragon Clan, making us fully subordinate, rather than partners."

"Therefore."

"After the Heavenly Court approached, still offered our Dragon Clan a Scripture Seeker candidate, one capable of bringing merit and qi fortune to our clan."

"So the three dragon ancestors decided to continue serving the Heavenly Court."

Upon hearing this.

The purpose of the three dragon ancestors in Dragon Abyss was clear.

Back when Zhao Feng entered Dragon Abyss, he had already expressed his stance, Great Qin wanted the Dragon Clan to fully be subordinates to Great Qin, rather than partners.

This ended the Dragon Clan’s hope of aligning with both.

Whereas the Heavenly Court cooperates with the Dragon Clan, not complete dominance.

Hence, it was unacceptable for the three dragon ancestors of Great Qin.

Although the Dragon Clan declined, those three dragon ancestors lived from ancient times, how could they completely succumb to submissiveness?

Furthermore.

The Heavenly Court offered substantial benefits this time.

Presenting a Scripture Seeker, someone capable of bringing immense fortune and merit to the Dragon Clan.

Thus, after weighing the options, the Dragon Clan resolutely chose the Heavenly Court, not Great Qin.

"Father."

"If the Qin Court really mobilizes its forces, what should we do?" the Crown Prince sighed and asked.
