Chapter 432: I do indeed possess some divination skills.

The grand formation besieging the colossal pillar of Heavenwood was withdrawn.Mo Yuan and the other two Nascent Soul cultivators each extended their hands,gathering the formation flags, plates, and other implements back into their keeping.The three cultivators transformed into iridescent beams, soaring into the skyand flying towards the sect's encampment.

On the return journey, the Demonic Heart Cave Master communicated via divine sense, expressing his bewilderment:"Great Cave Master, the three of us arrived together, a formidable force.Why was it necessary to present such a precious treasure as the Western Pure Landto the old monster in the stone?""We could have entirely compelled him to sign the Divine Decree of the Ginseng Root Dragon King!"

A cold glint flashed in Lu Hongtu's eyes."Did you not sense it?""Upon the old monster in the stone, there is already a trace of the aura of the God Transformation stage!"

The Demonic Heart Cave Master and the Blood Shadow Cave Master were both taken aback.The Demonic Heart Cave Master spoke with suspicion and uncertainty:"Could it be that the old monster in the stone has already advanced to the God Transformation stage?"

Lu Hongtu slightly shook his head."This cultivator is descended from a ten-thousand-year earth essence, his foundation is exceptionally deep.However, he once devoured a fragment of the Treasure Distributing Rock.""Although he gained the divine ability of the Stone Cast Earth Treasure,this miraculous encounter was not without its drawbacks -it greatly hindered his cultivation speed."

This is a very common situation.On the path of cultivation, cultivators must face this difficult choice.Namely, to augment their cultivation level and power, or to master divine abilities and spells?

When cultivation is advanced, one's inner foundation strengthens,and there will be growth in all aspects.But if one only possesses cultivation without divine abilities or spells to rely upon,the cultivator's combat prowess is extremely worrying.With ample mana but no combat ability, facing calamity, it is very difficult to overcome.

However, if one focuses solely on divine abilities and spells,spending a great deal of time and effort on them,it will also slow down the progress of one's cultivation.Once cultivation progress is too slow, and by the time the lifespan limit is reached,the cultivator has not yet broken through to the next stage...that is tantamount to seeking one's own death.

Therefore, choosing cultivation or choosing divine abilities and spellshas never been a single-choice question.For a normal cultivator, both must be considered.But which is more important, and at what time frame,what should be chosen as the focus of cultivation, all varies from person to person.

After the old monster in the stone devoured the fragment of the Treasure Distributing Rock back then,he made leaps and bounds in divine abilities and spells, undergoing a qualitative change!But this wondrous divine ability also hindered his cultivation progress.

Lu Hongtu was quite knowledgeable about this.He shook his head."If the old monster in the stone had advanced to the God Transformation stage, his attitude towards us would not be thus.""One can only say he is on the verge of God Transformation, facing a critical stage of breakthrough.""Under such circumstances, my offering of the Western Pure Land is precisely fitting."

The Demonic Heart Cave Master and the Blood Shadow Cave Master instantly understood.Facing the old monster in the stone, who was about to transform into a god, the Mo Yuan Cave Master needed to show goodwill.Should the old monster in the stone successfully advance to God Transformation in the future,and the Mo Yuan Cave Master had previously had unpleasantness with him,he would undoubtedly face pressure and would not fare well.It is better to offer the Western Pure Land now.

The old monster in the stone's true form is a ten-thousand-year earth essence,and a treasure of earth-attributed merit like the Western Pure Landis of great help to him, capable of bringing about a qualitative change.This will greatly increase the possibility of his advancement to the God Transformation stage.

The enmity between Lu Hongtu and the old monster in the stone is not deep-seated hatred.By offering this treasure, should the old monster in the stone successfully advance in the future,the previous grievances will surely be resolved, and he will instead remember the favor of the Great Cave Master Mo Yuan.Even if the old monster in the stone fails to advance, the Western Pure Land is of great use to him.The favor of the Great Cave Master Mo Yuan still exists.Furthermore, it will sound very good when spread abroad.

The Great Cave Master Mo Yuan did not force other Nascent Soul cultivatorsto join the grand alliance of the Thousand Peaks Forest.Instead, he proactively offered such a precious treasure as the Western Pure Land,achieving cooperation through enticement.Thus, the Mo Yuan Cave Master sacrificed himself for others,voluntarily relinquishing his own interests for the future of the entire Thousand Peaks Forest.This is an act of noble character!

It is worth mentioning that the Six Cave Sect is not a purely demonic force, but rather both righteous and evil.Lu Hongtu possesses a deep understanding of the overall situation.He is acutely aware that dealing with the indigenous forces of the Thousand Peaks Ridgerequires a firm and domineering side,hence he has absorbed Nascent Soul cultivators like the Demonic Heart and Blood Shadow.At the same time, he understands that if one is only blindly rigid, domineering, and ruthless,it is tantamount to isolating oneself from the outside world, and such a Six Cave Sect has no future.

Therefore, he also absorbed the other two cave masters,actively establishing good relations with the outside world.The tyrannical and demonic practices of the Six Cave Sect are mostly used internally,which helped them establish a foothold in the Thousand Peaks Forest.Their righteous actions, however, allowed them to have more contact with the outside world,helping them exchange countless cultivation resources.

Having channels for communication with the outside worldallows the Six Cave Sect to utilize the resources of the Thousand Peaks Forestto engage in extensive contact, trade, and friendship with external forces.On the other hand, they sell external resources to the various forces within the Thousand Peaks Forest,making a fortune and gradually attaining an independent status.

These are all the achievements of Lu Hongtu's management!At this moment, this Mo Yuan Cave Master began calculating the future."If the old monster in the stone can truly break through to God Transformation,then there will undoubtedly be a battle between him and the Ginseng Root Dragon King!"

The Ginseng Root Dragon King, as the only God Transformation level existence in the Thousand Peaks Ridge,has resided here, operating for countless years, deeply rooted, with numerous faithful followers.One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers.If the old monster in the stone wishes to continue cultivating in the Thousand Peaks Ridge,it will inevitably involve the earth veins of the Thousand Peaks Forest,which will severely encroach upon the fundamental territory of the Ginseng Root Dragon King.

"By then, when two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured!"Thinking of this, the Mo Yuan Cave Master's eyes gleamed with brilliance,and his heart pounded with excitement."Is there an opportunity for me in this?""However, all of this must wait until the conquering army of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom has retreated..."

Beneath the cave.After the stone sphere remained silent for a long time, it finally loosened.Crack, crack.Cracks appeared on the surface of the stone sphere.The cracks spread rapidly, eventually breaking open,and Sun Ning and the other emerged from within.After confirming that the three Nascent Soul cultivators had left,they still waited patiently for a period before emerging.

"How thrilling, it was truly thrilling!" Sun Lingtong's stone clothes had now been removed by Ning Zhe.He applied a layer of medicinal mud again, and his movements were currently unrestricted.Even a demonic cultivator like Sun Lingtong, who enjoyed seeking excitement,was此刻全身松软, unable to muster a single ounce of strength.

The situation just now was too dangerous;a slight misstep, a single error in response,would have resulted in the three Nascent Soul cultivators seeing through their disguise.The fate of Sun Ning and the other at that time is unimaginable!A strong sense of lingering fear enveloped Sun Lingtong's body and mind,making him reluctant to move for a time.

Ning Zhe's gaze was focused on the ground nearby, where there was a pile of Western Pure Land.The interaction with the three Nascent Soul cultivators contained elements within his expectationsand those that were beyond his expectations.Ning Zhe had not anticipated that Lu Hongtu would produce the Western Pure Land,nor had he expected that they would be forced to sign the Divine Decree of the Ginseng Root Dragon King.

"From this, it is evident that Lu Hongtu came prepared!""According to the collected intelligence, this person has an excellent overall perspective,and is even willing to pay out of his own pocket to unite other Nascent Soul cultivators.""Furthermore, under the immense pressure of the conquering army of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom,the Thousand Peaks Forest is changing its old state of fragmented peaks,and a large number of figures and forces in this area are rapidly integrating."

Ning Zhe immediately confirmed the change in the situation of the Thousand Peaks Forest from this matter.In this time of crisis, having a strong leader is truly too crucial.The Thousand Peaks Forest has benefited from the Ginseng Root Dragon King,avoiding the situation of being scattered like loose sand.The Ginseng Root Dragon King is a local deity.Based on the characteristics of a deity, and being the greatest beneficiary,He Himself must be the most resolute defender in the Thousand Peaks Forest.At the same time, He is of the God Transformation level, the strongest combat force.

Therefore, various cultivators and forces who are unwilling to become homeless dogsare rallying around this central figure, actively uniting.Lu Hongtu's arrival with the Divine Decree made it easier for Sun Ning and the other to pass through the deception.But this advantage was also a disadvantage.Currently, both Sun Ning and the other have signed the Divine Decree,and are subject to its control.

Just now, Sun Ning and the other, with the help of the Embryonic Respiration Spiritual Boat,used the divine ability of the Stone Cast Earth Treasure to fuse themselves with the stone sphere,being perceived by the heavens and earth as a complete fetus.Sun Lingtong's performance, Ning Zhe's control, and the stone sphere's own disguisewere all indispensable.The three parties combined, utilizing the marvel of the "Great Art of Heavenly Birth and Earthly Nourishment for Embryonic Respiration,"only then managed to deceive Mo Yuan and the other three Nascent Soul level cultivators.

Mo Yuan forced the old monster in the stone to sign the Divine Decree,and Sun Ning and the other had no choice but to comply.Their divine senses merged into one,and through the disguise of the Stone Cast Earth Treasure divine ability,they jointly accessed the Divine Decree,knowing the explicit instructions within.Finally, they used their divine senses to sign this Divine Decree.Therefore, the Divine Decree simultaneously bound Ning Zhe, Sun Lingtong, and the stone sphere.

"What should we do next?" Ning Zhe felt worried about this.Sun Lingtong directly asked: "Little Zhe, do you think we can decipher this Divine Decree?"Ning Zhe's expression was heavy, and he slowly shook his head, murmuring:"This is a technique of the God Transformation level.Although it is not impossible to decipher, the price to pay is simply too great.""If we seek help from the military of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom, we are bound to expose our itinerary,reveal our trump cards, and the secret that the old monster in the stone has already perished.""According to the secret operation that Lu Hongtu disclosed earlier,the Thousand Peaks Forest must have planted many informants within the army of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom.""Therefore, they were able to learn of the major military information:the new army in Canglin Immortal City was about to depart.""If we seek help from the military of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom,there are no trustworthy individuals available.""It is very likely that our information will be leaked.If the Thousand Peaks Forest side learns of this matter,and we have also signed the Divine Decree,then at that time, a single thought from the Ginseng Root Dragon Kingwill be enough to leave us without a burial place."

Sun Lingtong fell silent.What Ning Zhe said made a lot of sense.Sun Lingtong sighed: "Yes, we have suffered so much, paid such a great price,and finally obtained an astonishing wealth.""Even if the military of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom doesn't leak this secret,to decipher the restrictions of a God Transformation level Divine Decree,I'm afraid the wealth we just acquired will be completely exhausted.""If we encounter some unscrupulous people who demand exorbitant prices,we may even have to pay a greater price.""If Du Tiechuan, the commander-in-chief of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom,knows that we possess the Ten Thousand Li Roaming Dragon,he will likely force us to continuously venture deeper into the Thousand Peaks Forestto spy on military intelligence!"

"Then, what about returning to the Southern Bean Kingdom?"Just as Sun Lingtong said this, he shook his head himself.There wasn't enough time.According to the time requirement in the Divine Decree, the new army of Canglin Immortal Citywas about to set off four days later.At that time, Sun Ning and the other must fully participate in the attack on the army of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom,complying with the Divine Decree without violating it,only then might they possibly survive the disaster.

"Alas, what else can we do? We'll take it one step at a time," Ning Zhe shook his head."Let's not mine the old monster in the stone's final body.This is part of the Divine Decree's restriction,and it can be considered as our two bodies.""In the future, if the two of us act, and it does not match the full state at the time the Divine Decree was signed,and we are deemed as not having put forth our full effort, then that would be terrible."

Sun Ning and the other briefly discussed the matter. Having no other choice, they could only continue their previous actions.After Ning Zhe comprehended the complete divine ability of the Stone Cast Earth Treasure,he cooperated with Sun Lingtong to dig out the entire stone sphere.The two did not mine it, but directly put it into the Ten Thousand Li Roaming Dragon.Finally, they rode the Ten Thousand Li Roaming Dragon,traversing the void once more, and returned to the vicinity of Canglin Immortal City.

The Ten Thousand Li Roaming Dragon became even more dilapidated.It had been 50% damaged before, and after the round trip,the outer shell was severely damaged, and many dragon scales were lost.Many places had also become petrified.

Ning Zhe coiled the dilapidated Ten Thousand Li Roaming Dragon around his waist like a belt,and slowly walked back to the Three Generals' Camp.

"The Strategist is back!" The soldiers, seeing Ning Zhe, all proactively saluted and greeted him.Ning Zhe had previously displayed the Tree World Descent spell on the Commander's Platform,震撼全场, thus gaining the respect of the entire army.

Ning Zhe observed Liu, Guan, and Zhang, the Three Generals, drilling their troops for a while.Seeing that they hadn't even noticed he had misappropriated public funds, he secretly shook his head.These three generals were truly carefree.

He returned to his tent and tallied the accounts.Midway through, he stopped writing and sighed.Not long ago, his life hung by a thread, and now he was in his tent,outside were the occasional shouts of the Three Generals and the roars of the cultivators,a sense of security spontaneously arose.Ning Zhe had a feeling of being in a different world, an unreal sensation.

"The military intelligence of the Two-Dynasty Kingdom has been leaked,and the Thousand Peaks Forest side is planning to ambush the new army.""I am the Military Advisor and Libationer of the Three Generals' Camp.At that time, I will inevitably march with them,and will also become the target of an ambush by a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators.""What's more, Old Man Sun and I have also signed the Divine Decree,and we must confront the Two-Dynasty Kingdom,and it's the kind where we have to go all out!""What is to be done?"

This truly made Ning Zhe feel troubled.At this moment, the tent flap was lifted, and Liu Er walked in.Seeing Ning Zhe's worried look, Liu Er immediately revealed a kind smile:"Strategist, asking you to manage the accounts is really troubling you."

Ning Zhe quickly stood up and bowed.Liu Er waved his hand, kindly indicating that they were all family, and such formalities were unnecessary.Liu Er's demeanor, without putting on airs and treating people like a spring breeze, indeed eased Ning Zhe's heart.

Ning Zhe sighed: "The army accounts can be calculated clearly,but the prospects are worrying, my lord.""Currently, our military expenses can only last for three months."In reality, Ning Zhe had misappropriated a large amount of spirit stones,which were already insufficient to support three months.He had not yet had time to balance the accounts.

Ning Zhe continued: "Moreover, while calculating the accounts,my heart was touched, and I had many bad premonitions.""I feel the future is bleak, which is why I sighed deeply and felt low-spirited."

Upon hearing this, Liu Er immediately became interested:"Strategist can have such a feeling, could it be that you have the ability to divine?"

Ning Zhe smiled slightly: "To say I am a diviner, I am ashamed to accept that.But I have indeed cultivated one or two methods of divination,and I am most skilled at arranging formations for calculation.""My lord, please allow me to use some military resourcesto set up a formation to calculate the prospects of my Three Generals' Camp!"

Liu Er quickly inquired about the cost.Ning Zhe then gave a number.Liu Er fell into hesitation. The military funds were already scarce,and using them for divination meant they couldn't even last three months."These military funds do not belong to me alone; I must discuss it with my second and third brothers," Liu Er replied after some thought.

Ning Zhe then extended his hand: "Please discuss it as soon as possible, my lord, it is not wise to delay."Liu Er nodded, sighing: "I will go inquire now, Strategist, please wait a moment."

Liu Er left the tent and went to find Zhang Hei and Guan Hong, who were still drilling troops.Seeing his action, Ning Zhe knew that in the Three Generals' Camp, he no longer had to repay the debt.
