Chapter 692: 0428 Two Years Later (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_2

"I’m not here to argue with you. Here are five hundred Mid-grade Primordial Stones. Quickly refine them to restore your strength."

"Hiss... Thank you, Hall Master."

Mid-grade Primordial Stones are extremely precious, and these are good things that can enhance the cultivation of those in the Sea Realm. The Demon King Hall has been mining in the small realm for so long, and the total number may not even exceed one hundred thousand. Primordial Stones are not ready-made; they require mining, refining, crystallization, and other complex steps to process.

The Demon Race’s technique is weak, hence the limited production capacity.

At the same time.

In the grand hall, three majestic figures sat on the throne. In the center, cloaked in green scales and bearing six ferocious snake heads, was the Six-headed Great Demon King, the Multi-headed Snake Demon.

Like the Multi-armed Snake Demon, the Multi-headed Snake Demon also believes in the Holy Master, the Heavenly Snake Demon God. However, the Multi-armed Snake Demon is skilled in power and battle, while the Multi-headed Snake Demon is more cunning, specializing in survival. Each of its heads is a life, and it can grow to nine heads, becoming a demigod.

There are tens of thousands of demon species in the Forbidden Zone. The Multi-headed Snake Demon is not the strongest but definitely the hardest to kill. The only comparable one is the Nine-tailed Fox Demon.

Similarly, it has nine lives.

Beside the Six-headed Snake stood one with a rhino’s head and a human body, possessing immense strength, and another figure, tall and voluptuous, yet with a proboscis and wings like a mosquito. They were both Great Demons, their strength also at the End Realm standard, serving as the two Vice Hall Masters.

They are the Rhino Demon and the Bloodsucking Worm Demon.

Those who can enter the top twenty of the Demon King Hall are Mid-Realm, the top ten are close to End Realm. Counting the three Hall Masters, those in the top seven, known as the "Seven Demons in the Universe," all start at the End Realm. Despite so many powerful beings, all were at their wits’ end.

"What the Demon Palace said is correct. Lu Chenzhou indeed has the Initial Realm Demon King’s strength. By using the Burst Secret Technique, he even approaches the Mid-Realm. Although my clone has just been refined and can’t skillfully utilize its power, it is truly at the End Realm, yet I couldn’t kill him with one move. The human pioneering operation will end in four and a half years. No matter what, we must keep Lu Chenzhou in the small realm!"

The Six-headed Snake said with a solemn expression.

The Rhino Great Demon King said, "Let me lead the Demon King Hall to flatten the pioneering base. My hammer hasn’t tasted the blood of human experts for a long time."

The Bloodsucking Worm Demon said, "It’s not appropriate. Humans are the most cunning. The true Great Grandmaster combat power is certainly not just what is currently shown. It’s too risky."

The Six-headed Snake nodded, "That’s right, it’s best not to leave this Black Bone Swamp. My achievement as the Demon Emperor is somewhat special. My Demon Emperor Domain assimilated this Black Bone Swamp, and within a radius of hundreds of miles, it’s my pseudo-divine kingdom.

Here, even without using the majesty of the Demon Emperor, my strength can reach the extreme below the Demon Emperor, comparable to the Eight-Pattern Demon Clan. I wouldn’t be afraid of four or five End Realm Great Grandmasters, but leaving here would greatly diminish my strength. Therefore, I need to refine a clone to walk outside conveniently."

The Black Death Great Demon King said, "Then we can only wait for humans to walk into our net... or perhaps let the Demon Palace use the trump card, the Demon God Avatar, in advance?"

...

"Junior brother, have you achieved Great Success in the Mountain Lord Inquiry Fist?"

Wang Xian was shocked after seeing the projection.

"I just recently broke through."

"Impressive, your expertise in the Tiger Form Fist has already caught up with our senior sister, and she’s been practicing this fist for decades."

Due to her personality, Lin Xia seemed young, but in reality, she was close to sixty years old. After all, Lu Chenzhou was already middle-aged, approaching forty years old.

...

Soon after, confirming that the Demon Race had given up Yellow Wind Valley, Lu Chenzhou, Wang Xian, and Chen Tang led a team to station in Yellow Wind Valley. Now that the sandstorm had subsided, the mining work was proceeding smoothly.

Compared to the Demon Race, human technology and tools in this aspect could be described as a dimensional strike. In just one month, a production line had formed, and the Wanxiang Battle Group obtained its first Low-grade Primordial Stone since entering the realm.

Lu Chenzhou felt the pure energy within it. Just a thought could refine it with inner strength, but for him, the energy efficiency of converting Qi-Blood from a Low-grade Primordial Stone was not faster than his own cultivation.

A Grandmaster wanting to improve Qi-Blood needs a Mid-grade Primordial Stone. Someone did an experiment and found that one could enhance about 5-10 Qi-Blood points, varying per person. As the realm increases, the effect continually diminishes, becoming useless for the Heavenly Realm.

Mid-grade Primordial Stones are very scarce.

In the past, one Mid-grade stone could equal a thousand Low-grade stones.

Now the ratio is likely higher. Those he obtained before were Mid-grade stones. He would refine one every so often as a supplementary means to boost Qi-Blood. If time wasn’t pressing, he wouldn’t have done so.

Of course, improving too quickly is meaningless as acupoints are the foundation. Without a stable well-built physique, if he increased his Qi-Blood by several thousand in a short time, the most likely outcome would be to explode from having too much Qi-Blood...

Moreover, for a genius like him, Qi-Blood has never been the obstacle in cultivation. The significance of Primordial Ore lies in benefiting the majority of ordinary people, giving birth to more Martial Artists and Martial Arts Grandmasters, strengthening the foundational combat power of civilization.

That day, a mining manager wearing a safety helmet came to Lu Chenzhou and reported, "Grandmaster Lu, the mineral exploration has been completed. The estimated reserves of low-grade primordial ore in Yellow Wind Valley amount to fifty thousand units. Mining should be completed within a month due to the smooth progress of the excavation work."

Lu Chenzhou nodded: "Thank you, everyone, for your hard work. Upon completion of the pioneer work, outstanding producers will receive additional rewards from my Wanxiang Dao, with a chance to earn enrollment slots."

Most of these miners are skilled workers from the First Rank in Martial Arts, with poor Martial Arts Talent, and their greatest wish in life is for their children and descendants to gain admission.

After discussing with Wang Xian and Chen Tang, they took turns going into seclusion for cultivation, always ensuring one person guarded the mine. Actually, even when a Grandmaster guards, they can still practice stakes, but for cultivation techniques, they must not be disturbed.

After establishing a place for seclusion.

Lu Chenzhou released the Immortal Puppet [Elder Silver] to guard the cave. This thing is the best watchdog, and the Old Man of Dust Boat has almost fallen behind Lu Chenzhou’s progress.

But for standing guard, no problem.

Multiple arrangements later, Lu Chenzhou began his long seclusion: first to break through the End Realm, second to study Spear Skill, striving to complete the "Martial God Spear" or "World Tiger Fist," transforming one of them into a Middle-level Divine Skill, achieving three transformation stages.

In the blink of an eye, a year and a half passed.

The pioneering work had been ongoing for two years.

The mining operation in Yellow Wind Valley was successfully completed. Lu Chenzhou and the others briefly returned to the outpost for seclusion after their guarding task ended. During this time, no Demon Race had disturbed them. Afterwards, Lu Chenzhou and the others temporarily returned to the base for a seclusion retreat.

The pioneering work was not always smooth. Although the small realm was taken, the losses of too many Grandmasters were considered too great to justify the gains.

Overall, the attack power of the human pioneering group has improved steadily, with Lu Chenzhou slipping to fifth place on the merit list.

First, [Dream Ring] was promoted to Spiritual Great Grandmaster and beheaded a Great Ghost King in [Red Stone Peak Forest], capturing a medium-sized ore vein with a total reserve of over thirty million.

But during this battle, an unexpected change occurred.

Two of the Demon Kings, who seemed quite ordinary, used some kind of secret technique, seemingly awakening their bloodlines, which caused a sudden surge in their combat power. This caught Wan Tiangong off guard, injuring him and forcing him to retreat to the outpost.

Afterward.

The War Group’s Joint Command issued an order to temporarily halt the pioneering work, or else, despite taking the small realm, causing too many Grandmaster casualties would not be worth it.

On this day.

Lu Chenzhou ended his long retreat, his eyes gleaming as they scanned the surroundings, his Qi illuminating the four directions, his rank slipping to seventh place.

"Already in seventh place? It seems many have been promoted to Great Grandmaster during this time. Has the Sword Embracing Tiger not broken through yet?"
