Chapter 343: The Greedy Black Dragon King and the Confident Huang Taiji
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, on the edge of Tianchi Lake in Changbai Mountain, Huang Taiji, seven flag leaders of the Later Jin clan, and Oboi, each stood side by side with a huge dragon in front of an altar about nine feet high, burning incense and worshiping heaven and earth.
As everyone squeezed out a drop of their own life essence and blood, and merged it with the drop of life essence and blood squeezed out by the black big dragon beside them, they saw that the drop of life essence and blood that had been merged was split into two, turning into two mysterious runes, which shot into the sea of mind between their eyebrows and the dragon's eyebrows respectively.
The two sides immediately felt connected to each other's energy and had an inseparable close connection, and this time the blood oath covenant was officially completed.
"Huang Taiji, your clan's luck is not unlimited, right?"
Queen Black Glue belatedly raised her own question to Huang Taiji, "Your clan has only so many people, can you really bear the karma backlash brought about by us dragons slaughtering Han people?"
"The Han Chinese in the Ming Dynasty are at least a hundred times more populous than yours. I'm afraid that before we dragons have finished killing all the Han Chinese in a province, both your clan and the black dragons would have run out of luck long ago, and thus be burdened with a huge amount of karma, and die, or even be wiped out by bad luck."
It was a pity that it only thought of this problem now, and Huang Taiji almost burst out laughing.
What does it mean that the matter is done?
What does it mean that it is impossible to recover what has been done?
Obviously, with the Black Dragon King's intelligence, he cannot figure out this problem.
Huang Taiji suppressed his laughter and replied, "Of course. Although our Great Jin clan has great luck, it is impossible to waste it so wantonly. That is unrealistic."
"Given the size of the Han people inside the pass, it is impossible to kill them all."
"But King Black Dragon, don't forget that although the Han population is as high as tens of billions, their upper class has strictly blocked the cultivation methods and resources. The ordinary people, who account for more than 90%, have trouble even getting food. How can they have the opportunity to try to cultivate and become warriors?"
"In the Ming Dynasty, the number of warriors is not as high as that of our Later Jin clan. Among their hundreds of billions of people, there are only about 100 million warriors at most."
"And our Great Jin clan has a population of only tens of millions, but the number of warriors is in the millions."
"With the luck of our Great Jin clan, we certainly can't afford the karma backlash of letting you dragons wantonly kill the Han people. But as long as you don't deliberately kill ordinary Han people, and only target those Han warriors, there won't be any problems in this regard."
"King Black Dragon, you also know that once the enemy and us are on the battlefield, a cause-and-effect relationship is formed. Killing the enemy through war will basically not bring karma upon us. Instead, we will gain a lot of luck."
"For the origin rules of the universe, the vast majority of practitioners living in the natural universe are actually malignant tumors."
"Almost all practitioners only know how to take from nature, greedily consuming the spiritual energy and natural treasures of heaven and earth, but never giving back to heaven and earth."
"This is the origin of the ancient saying that all cultivators of all races are straw dogs."
Huang Taiji was a great hero, so he naturally had a clear mind. He had long understood the truth of survival of the fittest. "In the wars between different races in the universe, the more cultivators who are like cancerous tumors are killed, the more luck feedback will be obtained."
"This is to eliminate harm to the universe, the earth, and nature, and it complies with the laws of the healthy operation of the universe's origin. It can even gain the favor of heaven and become a child of heaven."
"Black Dragon King, this is the truth behind the healthy operation of the origin rules of the universe."
"After we enter the pass in large numbers, we will use war to specifically select those Han warriors to kill. The loss to our own luck will be minimal, and we may even gain great luck."
"As long as we try to avoid killing ordinary Han people, the problem you just mentioned won't exist at all."
"As long as the imperial luck of our Houjin clan is growing rapidly, we don't have to worry about a small amount of karma."
"Those karmic consequences will be easily offset by the vast amount of luck we have obtained, and will not have any impact on our two races."
"King Black Dragon, if you can kill some of the Han people's lucky geniuses and take everything from them as your own nourishment, you will most likely gain great fortune, which will be of countless benefits to your future transformation into a true dragon."
Huang Taiji had already thought of the problems that the Black Dragon King could think of, and had already prepared a plan to deal with them.
In his opinion, these troubles were not troubles at all and could be easily solved.
"Speaking of the Han people's geniuses, there is now a peerless genius with great luck, waiting for you, Black Dragon King, to deal with him."
"But you still need to wait a little longer. After our Great Jin is officially established, the great fortune accumulated by that Han boy will surely have reached its peak. Only then can you harvest it and maximize your benefits."
He explained the reason for doing so, "After our Great Jin officially establishes its nation, I will confer upon you the title of the guardian beast of the nation, and completely bind the fortunes of our two tribes together, so that you can also gain great fortune."
"Then, when you kill this kind of human genius, you will be able to crush their luck and prevent them from escaping."
"Otherwise, a Han Chinese genius like Li Dingguo, who has great luck protecting him, would be very difficult to kill. If we are not careful, he would escape, and it would be difficult to find him next time."
"We can refrain from attacking, but once we do, we must strike with a fatal blow. We cannot give this kind of peerless genius any chance to start over!"
What Huang Taiji said was true.
Any peerless genius like Li Dingguo, who appears only once in a thousand years, who came into being at the end of the dynasty, possessed great fortune far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
This kind of genius is difficult to kill. They can often rely on their own good fortune to turn misfortune into fortune, and then rise rapidly in adversity and destroy you in turn.
If one wants to be absolutely sure of killing Li Dingguo, the strong man who is responsible for attacking him must have an overwhelming advantage in luck, so that he can be killed steadily and not give him any chance to come back.
"Oh?"
"I am very interested in this. Once the time is right, I will go there in person, kill it and eat it."
The Black Dragon King immediately showed great interest, "Huang Taiji, when the best time to attack comes, just come and let me know."
"Do you think this Han Chinese genius has a divine weapon?"
"If you can get an innate divine weapon after killing him, you must give it to me, you can't take it away!"
The Black Dragon King’s inherited memory contains descriptions of innate and acquired divine weapons.
Of course, it knows the value of this kind of treasure.
Even in the ancient mythological period, those extremely powerful true dragons did not have many innate artifacts in their hands, and they did not even have a single top-level innate artifact.
If you can get an innate divine weapon, you will make a lot of money.
After refining the innate divine weapon that was seized, one's own foundation will increase by more than a hundred times!
At that time, if we can break the shackles of this world and explore the secrets of the real world, we will have greater confidence.
Thinking that he would be able to become a real dragon with his own innate divine weapon in the future, the Black Flood Dragon King suddenly became excited.
"Oh?"
Huang Taiji had not thought much about this before, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "After hearing what you said, King Black Dragon, it is very likely that the Han boy, the peerless genius Li Dingguo, has an innate divine weapon on him."
"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why he could rise so fast in just three years!"
"I'm afraid that the grade of that life artifact is extremely high, and it has a very magical effect, which is why it is so helpful to Li Dingguo!"
"Moreover, it is not as simple as just having one divine weapon. It is very likely that he had an amazing adventure, which allowed him to quickly rise from a small beggar who was on the verge of death to become the leader of a top-level force!"
“King Black Dragon, if the Han Chinese peerless genius Li Dingguo only has one divine weapon of his own and no other trump cards, after you kill him, the divine weapon will naturally belong to you.”
"But if he has other trump cards, or more than one divine weapon, the remaining treasures will all belong to me. How do you think about this?"
Since the Black Dragon King had already set his eyes on Li Dingguo's very likely natal divine weapon, Huang Taiji naturally could not object, but he also put forward his own demands.
"This……"
The Black Flood Dragon King has the same personality as the Dragon Clan. His favorite thing is to collect all kinds of top-level treasures. He was a little hesitant when he heard this.
After thinking about it, it agreed, "Okay, after killing Li Dingguo, I want to be the first to pick all the treasures obtained."
Now, this group of dragons has formed an inseparable partnership with the Houjin clan, and the black dragon does not want to destroy the relationship between the two parties.
After all, in the future we will still need to rely on the Later Jin clan to obtain the true dragon's luck.
For it, transforming into a dragon is the ultimate pursuit.
"Huang Taiji, can't you establish a country quickly?"
The Black Dragon King said anxiously, "Do we have to wait two or three years? This is just a waste of time!"
"Only after you establish your country can our clan go out with confidence to kill the enemies of the Later Jin clan without worrying about the karma of heaven and earth."
It was very puzzled by Huang Taiji's decision. "King Black Dragon, your clan has not been involved in anything for a long time, and you don't know how powerful the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is."
"The Ming Dynasty is like a sick tiger, but its power is still there."
"The current Ming Dynasty is not in chaos enough, and there is still enough energy to pose a huge threat to our Great Jin clan."
"We must spend another two or three years to find ways to weaken the Ming Dynasty."
"Once our Great Jin officially establishes its nation, it will inevitably attract tit-for-tat responses from the Ming Dynasty, which will point the finger at our Great Jin clan, which will be very detrimental to our current rapid development."
"For the time being, let Li Dingguo and his Fuxing Army fight against the Ming Dynasty until both sides are defeated."
"It will be the new year in less than four months. By then, I will personally lead a million troops into the pass to add fuel to the fire of the Ming Dynasty. It would be best if we could destroy most of the Fuxing Army's forces and stop their rapid development."
"Otherwise, it is very likely that the Ming Dynasty will not be completely weakened, but Li Dingguo and his Fuxing Army will be able to grow and become stronger, posing a fatal threat to us."
"However, what you said makes sense."
Huang Taiji thought about it and said, "How about this, I will advance the founding of the Great Jin Dynasty by one year, set up the Heaven and Earth Altar the year after next, pray to Heaven and Earth, and officially establish the country!"
"Only in this way can we safely allow your group of dragons to join the war and help our Great Jin gain advantages in all aspects as soon as possible."
The established history once again underwent a major change with the rapid rise of Li Dingguo's Fuxing Army.
Huang Taiji, who had originally decided to officially establish the country in the ninth year of Chongzhen, had already made up his mind to establish the country in the eighth year of Chongzhen.
This will undoubtedly add endless variables to the future.
Ever since Li Dingguo founded the Fuxing Army and rose rapidly, it was destined to change the established history beyond recognition. Now is just the beginning.
……
"Sister Liyun!"
At the headquarters of the Fuxing Army outside the Great Wall, two large golden eagles and two large goshawks had just landed on the island in the middle of the lake. Wan'er jumped off Da Meng's back and flashed in front of Chang Liyun who was in the big courtyard, shouting with joy.
"Sister Liyun, we brought you a precious gift this time!"
"Big brother..."
She then looked at Li Dingguo, who had just jumped off the back of Da Jin, and shouted to him.
"Ha ha……"
Li Dingguo chuckled and said, "You girl, you are still so anxious."
With a thought, a blood-red battle flag and a jade box flew out from the large cauldron in his hand and hovered in front of Chang Liyun. He said to her, "Chang Liyun, you have been sitting in the base camp of our Renaissance Army for this period of time. Thank you for your hard work."
"This is a personal reward I give you. It will not be counted as military merit."
"This flag is an acquired top-grade divine weapon with great power. You can use it to refine it into your own divine weapon. In the future, if you encounter danger, it will protect its master on its own, which will greatly increase your foundation and combat power."
"Inside this jade box is the Great Spirit Peach, a high-grade spiritual fruit that Wan'er and I recently obtained. It has the magical effect of greatly enhancing the aptitude and talent of any cultivator in the Qi Refining Realm."
"After you take it and refine it, not only will your own talent and aptitude be further improved, but your physical fitness will also be greatly enhanced. In nine out of ten cases, you will be able to break through to the fifth-level mid-stage cultivation in one fell swoop."
"As for Cao Yongxiang, Hongmei, Wei Jinfan and their share, I personally handed it to them before returning to the island from the interior of the country."
"Cao Yongxiang, Hongmei, and Wei Jinfan have each made use of the magical effect of a high-grade acquired spiritual peach to break through to the middle stage of level five, and have further improved their own aptitude and talent."
Chang Liyun has always been working hard and making great contributions in obscurity.
Even if Wan'er didn't mention it, Li Dingguo was planning to reward the other party handsomely.
For Wei Jinfan, who also worked hard and made great contributions, he gave her the Plague Bell, a first-class artifact that he had snatched from the head of the Mo family in Shu, to refine into her own artifact.
Although that rare innate artifact, the Plague Bell, is extremely vicious, it is appropriate to give it to Wei Jinfan.
For Wei Jinfan, the head of the Military Intelligence Department who often carries out sabotage operations behind enemy lines, this extremely vicious and innate lower-grade artifact is most suitable.
No matter how many enemies died, Li Dingguo would not feel the slightest bit upset.
Li Dingguo always believed that only dead enemies were good people.
The more enemies die, the better. The territories and resources they leave behind can be replaced by the Huaxia people, allowing the Huaxia people to grow and develop rapidly. This is the true benevolence and righteousness.
There was also the top-grade innate artifact, the Treasure Bowl, which Li Dingguo gave to Hongmei, the general manager of the Fuxing Army, to refine.
Although Hongmei already has an extremely powerful innate artifact, the Earth Emperor Stone, she, who is in charge of the financial power of the Renaissance Army, can better utilize the role of the Cornucopia, an innate top-grade artifact, and completely solve the financial problems of the Renaissance Army in the future.
This is to make the best use of things and find the most suitable owners for these recently acquired artifacts.
"This……"
Even though Chang Liyun was introverted by nature, she couldn't help being stunned by the generosity of Li Dingguo's private reward this time!
A few days ago, after Wei Jinfan received a personal reward from Li Dingguo, his expression was similar to Chang Liyun's current one.
The amount of this reward is too large.
My natal artifact!
As long as they are not ignorant and have read some relevant ancient books, they will know how precious their natal divine weapon is.
In ancient myths and legends, most of the powerful masters did not have this kind of natal divine weapon, and they only used their natal magic weapon.
This can no longer be described as priceless, but rather as inestimable.
"Thank you, Commander-in-Chief!"
"Thank you, Wan'er!"
Chang Liyun had an extraordinary character and quickly came to her senses and thanked Li Dingguo and Wan'er.
She did not delay and immediately sat cross-legged on the ground to refine the Shura Battle Flag she had just obtained into her natal artifact.
After obtaining such a powerful artifact, even delaying for a moment to refine it would be disrespectful to the artifact.
No master in the Qi Refining Realm would be hesitant or timid.
No practitioner can refuse this treasure that can completely change one's foundation.
A moment later, the Shura Battle Flag, which was refined into her natal divine weapon by Chang Liyun, turned into a stream of light and shot into the center of her sea of consciousness.
With an innate divine weapon to suppress her sea of consciousness, her sea of consciousness immediately became several times more stable. In the future, when encountering life-and-death crises, the divine weapon would protect its master on its own, thus increasing Chang Liyun's ability to save her life countless times.
Even a sixth-level demon king does not have the ability to deliver a fatal blow to a fifth-level cultivator who is protected by his own divine weapon.
If one wants to kill this kind of cultivator who has a natal magic weapon protecting his body, one must exhaust his spiritual thoughts and internal energy, making his natal magic weapon become a rootless source and lose the ability to protect its master, before one can successfully kill him.
Chang Liyun, who had refined the Shura Battle Flag, did not stand up. Under the protection of Li Dingguo and Wan'er, she ate the acquired top-grade large spiritual peach in her hand.
Under the effect of this high-quality acquired spiritual peach with remarkable efficacy, Chang Liyun successfully broke through to the middle stage of level five three hours later.
Her qualifications and talents also received a qualitative improvement, and she became a true genius.
The world of practitioners is like this. Once you are lucky and have a great opportunity, your future destiny can change in an instant. There is no logic at all.
In the world of practitioners, everything is possible, it all depends on your luck.
