Chapter 1790: Chapter 600: _2
The first, ambushing a Demon King, although advantageous, carries the risk of injury if there’s a misstep during the Demon King’s counterattack.
The second task seems simple, but it’s fraught with hidden dangers.
Even Nascent Soul Immortals and False Core Cultivators, when using Divine Sense for prolonged reconnaissance, will experience significant fatigue on their soul.
Furthermore, within the Myriad Beasts Mountain Range, the number of serpents and demon beasts is countless.
There might even be some poison insects or demon beasts that can escape the cultivators’ Divine Sense.
Going to investigate at such a time may lead to encountering danger.
"Yes, Supreme Elder."
Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue nodded in agreement, not insisting on showing off.
After all, both were newly advanced Nascent Soul Cultivators, and needed to first adapt to the situation.
Moments later, everyone present was assigned tasks.
The Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family, as a Beast Taming Cultivator, accompanied by a Third Rank Earth Dragon, was assigned to oversee the frontline battle situation and clear the ruins and cave mansions.
Although the Xu Family, as Beast Taming Cultivators, seemed well-suited for the role, Lu Changsheng instinctively suspected the Qingyun Sect targeted the Xu Family.
But faced with such orders, the Elder Ancestor of the Xu Family had no option to refuse.
...
"Slaying a First Grade Early Stage Demon Beast awards one point of military merit, a Middle Stage Demon Beast three points, a Late Stage Demon Beast ten points, and a Top Level Demon Beast thirty points..."
"Slaying a Second Rank Early Stage Demon Beast awards a hundred military merits..."
"Slaying a Third Rank Early Stage Demon King awards a hundred thousand military merits..."
Lu Changsheng looked at the simple calculations of military merits on the Jade Slip, and the cultivation techniques, elixir medicines, and magic artifacts that could be exchanged.
Below, there was a note: if someone could single-handedly slay a Third Rank Demon King, they could earn priority access to strategic resource exchanges.
"In that case, Coagulation Crystal Elixirs don’t seem so hard to get, just need to kill one Demon King."
Lu Changsheng thought to himself.
Imagining what if he suddenly encountered a Demon King and by luck used the Talisman Formation to blast it away.
However, he still planned to first go to the frontline to evaluate the situation.
...
After the meeting concluded, Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue, holding the battle orders, headed to the frontlines with their daughter Lu Wangshu.
Other cultivators at Qi Refinement and Foundation Establishment levels, sent over, were fully assigned to the frontlines by the Qingyun Sect cultivators.
Upon reaching the frontlines, a heavy atmosphere was palpable.
The stationed cultivators at the outpost were nearly all shrouded in malevolent and murderous auras.
Many appeared exhausted, dispirited, or carried visible injuries.
The pioneering war had already been ongoing for over three years.
The first wave of cultivators had experienced three years of slaughter, each having honed their battle skills through countless fights, naturally becoming entangled with auras of violence and malevolence.
Lu Wangshu, upon witnessing such a scene, felt the cruel realities of war.
"Daoist Luo, several Lu Family Disciples registered early on, I, Lu, wish to visit them, is it convenient?"
It was then that Lu Changsheng intended to visit Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and other Lu Family disciples.
Unwittingly, they had been involved in the pioneering war for three and a half years.
Since he came, he ought to pay them a visit.
"Of course, it is convenient. Luo will check the noble descendants’ assigned formations and accompany True Master Changsheng there."
Upon hearing this, the Qingyun Sect’s Nascent Soul Cultivator responsible for the frontlines replied very courteously.
If it were any other cultivator, he might not bother.
But when a Nascent Soul Immortal like Lu Changsheng spoke up, he naturally was willing to assist.
Especially considering Lu Changsheng and Xiao Xiyue’s presence, he proactively inquired about Lu Wangshu’s arrangements, whether to act together with them or to be placed in a specific formation.
Although it was a pioneering war, which did not allow favoritism, social connections existed everywhere.
Just like Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and others arriving earlier, they were given slight preferential arrangements due to White Cloud True Man’s intervention.
"Thank you, Daoist Luo."
Lu Changsheng himself, along with Xiao Xiyue, temporarily acted as free agents, arranging Lu Wangshu to be the same.
Then, very courteously handed over two Third Rank Talismans.
"True Master Changsheng is indeed very courteous."
Seeing this, the Nascent Soul Cultivator thought highly of True Master Changsheng for being generous, befitting a Third Rank Superior Grade Talisman Master.
It’s known that for Nascent Soul Cultivators to purchase Third Rank Talismans, it wasn’t something readily available, often requiring time and effort.
Seeing Lu Changsheng’s politeness, he reciprocated goodwill by assigning a favorable position for the Qingzhu Mountain members when arranging personnel and tasks.
...
As the time approached, True Man Luo accompanied Lu Changsheng to visit Lu Qingxuan, Lu Chensha, and others.
Due to earlier recommendations from White Cloud True Man, these Lu Family disciples were assigned to nearby formations.
To prevent misunderstandings, he even preemptively inquired about the status of these Lu Family disciples.
Knowing that the Lu Family disciples were performing well and in good condition eased his mind.
Moments later, Lu Changsheng saw Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingze, Lu Xingshuo, and other Lu Family disciples, along with two Honored Guests.
"Father!?"
"Father, Wangshu, what brings you here!"
"Greetings, Mountain Lord!"
Seeing Lu Changsheng, they were very surprised and delighted.
"I came to see you."
Lu Changsheng noticed that their appearances and temperaments had significantly changed, with their brows filled with more determined and fierce intent.
"Where are Chensha, Yun Fei, and Ziyun?"
He didn’t see several others.
"Chensha went on a frontline reconnaissance mission earlier and hasn’t returned yet. Yun Fei and Ziyun sustained certain injuries before and are now recuperating at the rear."
Lu Qingxuan explained.
War is cruel.
Despite going equipped with elixir medicines, talismans, magic artifacts, puppets, and even receiving slight favor from the Qingyun Sect without being assigned the most dangerous missions,
they still suffered numerous injuries over the past three years.
The elixir medicines and talismans brought from the family were almost entirely consumed.
"You’ve all worked hard these past years."
