"Alright, there's no time to lose. I'll transfer the army right now, but I only need an army of five hundred thousand." Jianchen had an impatient appearance. Five hundred thousand was enough.
The king smiled, "Jianchen, there's no need for us to personally transfer the army. I'll immediately send an imperial edict to the Eastern Divine Sword Legion stationed outside the imperial city and have them bring five hundred thousand of their most elite soldiers over. However, transferring an army of several hundred thousand isn't that easy, so it'll take some time."
Jianchen nodded slightly, "Alright then, I'll wait here for the news."
After discussing the official matters, Jianchen told the king about the Great Zhou Empire's attempt to form an alliance with the Qin Empire. This could be considered as fulfilling his promise to the king of the Great Zhou Empire. As for whether or not the two empires could form an alliance, this was not a problem that Jianchen cared about.
Afterwards, Jianchen and the king chatted for a bit in the hall before leaving. After returning to the Qin Tian Hall, he calmed down and called for a maid. With a serious expression, he said, "I'm going to cultivate for a while. Go inform the guards outside that I won't see anyone before I wake up. No one is allowed to disturb me."
"This servant obeys!" The maid respectfully replied and immediately left to inform the people outside.
Jianchen sat cross-legged on the bed and took a deep breath. Afterwards, he took out the Saint Ruler's skeleton from his Space Ring. He solemnly examined the Saint Ruler's skeleton.
The Saint Ruler's skeleton was around two meters tall. The bones were thick and sturdy. Just from the skeleton, one could tell that the owner of the skeleton was definitely a burly figure. The skeleton was snow-white, so white that it was almost transparent. It was crystal clear and gave off a faint glow. It seemed like a rare treasure. On the surface of the skeleton, there was a faint layer of light that flickered, as if mercury was constantly flowing on the surface.
This was the second time Jianchen had seen the Saint Ruler's skeleton. However, it was different from the last time. Perhaps it was because he had broken through to Heaven Saint Master, but he could clearly feel the vast and boundless energy within the skeleton. It was like a vast ocean.
Jianchen took a deep breath and slowly calmed himself down. Afterwards, he closed his eyes and communicated with the sword spirits of the Azulet swords, "Ziying, Qing Suo, help me refine this Saint Ruler's skeleton into Chaotic Force."
"Yes, master!"
Without any hesitation, Ziying and Qing Suo immediately got to work. Two faint figures condensed above Jianchen's head. They were a violet-robed man and an azure-robed woman. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, as if they were a match made in heaven.
Ziying and Qing Suo extended their hands at the same time and the Saint Ruler's skeleton seemed to be pulled by an invisible force. It directly flew into the air and landed between Ziying and Qing Suo.
Ziying and Qing Suo extended their arms at the same time. A dense violet and azure light radiated from their hands, enveloping the Saint Ruler's skeleton and refining it.
The sword spirits refined the skeleton very quickly. In less than four hours, the skeleton had turned into a strand of grey energy that entered Jianchen's body. In the end, it settled in Jianchen's dantian.
"Master, use the Azulet Sword Codex to refine the Chaotic Force." Ziying's voice rang out in Jianchen's head. Their figures also vanished above Jianchen's head.
Jianchen immediately did as he was told. This time, it took him four whole hours to finally turn the Chaotic Force into something he could control. Following that, Jian Chen immediately looked inside himself. The situation of his body immediately appeared in his mind with incomparable clarity. In his Dantian, two faint black strands of energy slowly wandered about, emitting an aura that made one's heart palpitate.
Last time, Jianchen had refined the two Ruler Armaments into two strands of Chaotic Force in Longevity Valley. He had only used one strand of Chaotic Force to strengthen his body. He had not used the other strand. Combined with the strand he had obtained from refining the Saint Ruler's skeleton, there were exactly two strands.
Looking at the two strands of grey energy in his dantian, Jianchen hesitated slightly before carefully asking, "If I use the Chaotic Force to strengthen my body right now, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" Last time, Jianchen did not know the situation and had rashly used a strand of Chaotic Force to strengthen his body. As a result, he suffered a great deal of pain. Even with his willpower, he was unwilling to endure it.
"It won't happen anymore. Master, you can use the Chaotic Force to refine your body without any worries. Although it will hurt, it won't affect master anymore," Qing Suo replied. Her voice was delicate and sweet, extremely pleasant to listen to.
"That's good!" Jianchen secretly let out a sigh of relief. He had completely relaxed. He immediately controlled a strand of Chaotic Force to refine his body further.
As the Chaotic Force flowed through his body, Jianchen discovered that his body was no longer as fragile as before. Now, the Chaotic Force was unable to damage his body when it passed through him. Although it still caused him pain, it was still within the range that Jianchen could endure. Just as the sword spirits had said, it would not affect Jianchen at all.
As the Chaotic Force slowly flowed through his body under Jianchen's control, Jianchen's body strengthened at an unbelievable rate. Even his meridians, bones, and organs were strengthened. After the Chaotic Force circulated through his body once, Jianchen's body had reached a whole new level of toughness. He could clearly sense that his body was much more powerful than before, and he had only used a third of the Chaotic Force.
Jianchen did not stop. He continued to circulate the Chaotic Force through his body. After three circulations, he finally used up the strand of Chaotic Force.
Jianchen opened his eyes and leapt off the bed with a nimble leap. He landed firmly on the ground and rubbed his body as he looked around. He could feel that his body had become twice as powerful as before. Although it still retained the same flexibility as before, its toughness was probably much tougher than steel.
"Ziying, Qing Suo, can I use Chaotic Force now with the current toughness of my body?" Jianchen asked the sword spirits.
"No, master.
Your body has indeed become a lot stronger, but you're still a distance away from using Chaotic Force. You still need to refine some more Chaotic Force to strengthen your body to the minimum requirement of using Chaotic Force. However, you'll only be able to use this impure Chaotic Force, "Ziying said.
Jianchen sighed inside. It seemed like it would be impossible for him to successfully use Chaotic Force in a short amount of time.
"If that's the case, there's no point in keeping the strand of Chaotic Force in my dantian. I might as well refine it as well. It'll make my body even tougher." Jianchen acted as soon as he thought of it. He sat down on the bed again and used the last strand of Chaotic Force in his dantian to strengthen his body.
By the time Jianchen refined the second strand of Chaotic Force, it was already afternoon. As soon as his consciousness returned to his body, he sensed a maid standing outside the door.
Jianchen got off the bed and checked his body in satisfaction. He could not help but smile happily as he murmured, "With the current toughness of my body, probably even a high level Great Saint Master won't be able to harm me at all. If this continues, there will be a day when my body will reach a terrifying level where even Heaven Saint Masters won't be able to harm me."
Although it was a great pity that he could not use Chaotic Force, the strengthening of his body also represented an increase in his overall strength. This was something worth being happy about.
Jianchen happily walked out of the room. Seeing Jianchen come out, the maid immediately bowed and said, "Imperial Protector, the generals of the Eastern Sword God Army request an audience."
A gleam of light flashed through Jianchen's eyes and he said, "Let them in!"
"Yes!"
Not long after, three armored generals strode in from outside. The three of them had resolute expressions. One of them was an old man in his sixties, while the other two were middle-aged men in their forties. They wore silver-white armor and exuded a murderous aura with a thick stench of blood.
"Greetings, Imperial Protector!" The three of them arrived in front of Jianchen and cupped their hands at the same time as they greeted him.
"Generals, you may dispense with the formalities. How should I address you?" Jianchen smiled and his expression was amiable.
"I am Qin Wuming, the vice commander of the Eastern Sword God Army!" The old general was the first to speak. Afterwards, the two middle-aged men on his left and right also reported their names at the same time.
"I am Qin Wutian, the governor of the Eastern Sword God Army!"
"I am Qin Wujian, the governor of the Eastern Sword God Army!"
"Generals, I presume that his majesty has already told you about the matter." Jianchen said with a smile. However, he muttered in his heart. He never thought that the three of them would have the surname Qin. Could they be relatives of the royal family?
The vice commander of the Eastern Sword God Army nodded and said, "Imperial Protector, his majesty has already explained the matter to us clearly. Five hundred thousand elite troops of the Eastern Sword God Army have already arrived outside the Imperial City and can set off at any time. The three of us will assist the Imperial Protector and go through the Space Gate together to the Kingdom of Gesun!"
A look of surprise flashed through Jianchen's eyes. He never thought that the three people in front of him were actually father and son. From their appearances, there was nothing strange about them at all. However, he then carefully observed the three people in front of him. In front of his powerful soul, the three of them did not hide their strength at all. It was as if they were naked in front of Jianchen's eyes. However, what surprised Jianchen was that the three of them were actually Heaven Saint Masters. The old man, Qin Wuming, was a Third Cycle Heaven Saint Master while Qin Wutian and Qin Wujian were First Cycle Heaven Saint Masters.
Jianchen cupped his hands and said, "Then I'll have to trouble the three of you to make a trip with me. Since the army is ready, there's no time to lose. Let's set off now."
