Chapter 542: The Second Clone, Tianhe Army

Ideals are brilliant, but reality is often disappointing.

Wanting to use underground magnetic field to control the Hundred Immortals Alliance is equivalent to one thing - the entire Hundred Immortals Alliance is about to start an unprecedented large-scale infrastructure construction.

This large-scale infrastructure project was destined to be difficult, arduous, and sweaty, without any trace of immortal demeanor.

But only through all this hard work can the Jiushan Sect create a fairyland on earth.

"Uncle Pang, please ask you and Fairy Xiao to conduct another survey of the Hundred Immortals Alliance, this time focusing on the distribution of the earth's magnetic field."

Uncle Pang and Xiao Yuying looked at each other and said in unison, "Yes!"

Ask these two people to go explore, others also understand why:

Uncle Pang's Dongxu Spirit Eye has now reached the highest level, not to mention Xiao Yuying's Yuanci Dao Body.

"Elder Xuanhua."

"exist!"

"To set up the Yuan magnetic network, we need to design and manufacture some specific magic weapons. We also need to modify the Shenxiao Flying Boat and various factories. The Tiangong Pavilion has a heavy task."

"Master, don't worry!"

Zheng Fa nodded gently towards Madam Xuanhua and said with a smile, "The development of our Jiushan Sect today is largely due to the hard work of Tiangong Pavilion. If you have any needs or difficulties, please feel free to ask me."

Madam Xuanhua nodded solemnly.

Zheng Fa then turned his gaze towards the Nine Mountain Patriarch and Senior Sister Zhang. "Patriarch, the Lingshan Method is still a little rudimentary. I would like to ask you to cooperate with Senior Sister Zhang to use the Xiantian Bagua to perfect the Lingshan Method so that it matches the Yuan magnetic network."

Even the Nine Mountains Patriarch, who had a child's heart, responded solemnly at this moment.

After Zheng Fa's demonstration and explanation, even a child could understand the significance of the Yuan Magnetic Network to the entire Jiushan Sect:

In modern times, this is a complete system of transportation, industry and national defense.

It is not an exaggeration to call it the great achievement of Jiushan Sect for thousands of years.

Everyone returned to Ziweiyuan, and the elders who had tasks went to various departments, selected disciples, and started work.

For a moment, the Tiangong Palace, which had been full before, suddenly became much emptier.

"Junior brother, what are you going to do?" asked Senior Sister Zhang.

"I have more than just one innate magical power."

"One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones?"

It is just like one qi transforming into three pure ones. After Zheng Fa's cultivation level advances, the power of his innate supernatural powers will naturally increase.

But the transformation of One Qi into Three Pure Ones is different. This magical power requires Zheng Fa to go into seclusion and condense another clone.

After advancing to the Mahayana stage, Zheng Fa will be able to obtain another clone.

Senior Sister Zhang couldn't help but look at the Heavenly Emperor's body in the sky and asked curiously, "What kind of cultivation technique are you planning to practice with this clone?"

"Tianhe Method."

"Tianhe Method..." Senior Sister Zhang's expression changed, as if she understood. "Yes, it can only be Tianhe Method."

…

In Zheng Fa's courtyard, the Emperor of Heaven stood outside the door, looking at the quiet room where Zheng Fa was in seclusion, his eyes filled with anticipation.

Spiritual energy surged in the courtyard. Half an incense stick later, rosy rays of light shone through the window lattices. Auspicious clouds, carrying three golden flowers, broke through the roof of the quiet room, one of which shone brilliantly with green light.

At this time, the sun was shining brightly.

But this green light is brighter than the sun.

A human figure faintly appeared in the green light. As the spiritual energy gradually dissipated, the human figure became more and more lifelike, and finally turned into the appearance of Zheng Fa.

He was dressed in white like snow, his body was like a solitary bamboo, he had a defiant look on his face, and his eyes were sharp as he glanced around.

A scroll unfolded and closed behind him, slowly rolling up endless murderous intent.

Ga~

Zheng Fa's real body pushed the door open and walked out. He looked up with a helpless expression.

He considers himself an honest man, and his Heavenly Emperor body is a diligent old ox, but this sword body is a bit showy.

Yes, what he condensed this time was the sword body. To be precise, this clone used the Zhuxian Formation Diagram as its life-saving magic weapon, and what he practiced was the Tianhe Four Meridians Sword Classic.

In Zheng Fa's opinion, using the magnetic network to build a large formation is only the basic defensive force of the Jiushan Sect.

It's OK to fight against ordinary cultivators, but it's probably not enough to deal with the top cultivators in the Xuanwei Realm, True Immortals, or even Golden Immortals relying solely on the earth veins' magnetic field.

The Tianhe Legion, or the Zhuxian Formation, is the Jiushan Sect's trump card.

When the Hundred Immortals Alliance began large-scale infrastructure construction, this method became increasingly important.

Zheng Fa once heard a joke in modern times: My neighbors grow crops and I make guns, so my neighbors are my granary.

But if Jiushan Zongyi started farming and ended up becoming this neighbor...

It was hard for him to laugh when he heard this joke again.

"Why aren't you coming down yet?" Zheng Fa asked, looking at Jian Daoshen still standing on the roof. "What's going on?"

Jian Daoshen jumped down from the roof, his lips curled up slightly: "With me here, Jiushan is as stable as Mount Tai. If there are people who don't open their eyes, I will make them know that anyone who offends Jiushan will be punished no matter how far away they are!"

“…”

Zheng Fa was speechless. This clone was so childish that he didn't know how to start.

On the side, the Heavenly Emperor said quietly, "I remember that the personality of the clone created by the Three Pure Ones will be affected by the original body."

"You mean, me? Him?" Zheng Fa pointed at himself, then glanced at his sword form. After thinking for a moment, he said with certainty, "You don't understand! It must be the influence of the technique on the cultivator!"

“…”

"There's something wrong with the technique corresponding to this Zhuxian Formation diagram... The Nine Nether Demon Ancestor has misled me!"

The Emperor looked at him for a long time, and finally squeezed out a reply through his teeth: "Heh."

Zheng Fa felt a little guilty and quickly changed the subject: "Are you confident in advancing the Zhu Xian Formation?"

Kenshin glanced at him without saying a word, but the corners of his mouth curved fifteen degrees higher.

Zheng Fa said quietly, "You'd better be sure..."

The main purpose of his consolidating sword body was to upgrade the Zhu Xian formation diagram.

The sword body that uses the Zhuxian Formation Diagram as its life-saving magic weapon is connected to the Tianhe Legion using the Wanxian Formation method. Its power is 50% stronger than Zheng Fa's own.

Not to mention, through the method of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, this sword body can slowly strengthen the Zhuxian Formation diagram, which is much faster than Zheng Fa's own refining speed.

Today, the power of the Zhuxian Formation is only between the top True Immortals or the True Immortals and Golden Immortals.

Allowing him to break through to the Golden Immortal realm is crucial for the Jiushan Sect to cope with the situation of the Golden Immortal appearing in the future.

On the other hand, Zheng Fa really didn't have time to focus on the Zhuxian Formation Diagram - perhaps other cultivators would be obsessed with the power of the formation diagram, but he himself understood that this formation diagram was not his foundation and could only be used as a means of protecting his way.

But such a treasure cannot be given to others.

Whoever controls the Zhuxian Formation Diagram can be said to be the commander-in-chief of the Jiushan Sect's armed forces. Now, only Zheng Fa himself can hold this position.

Uncle Pang had privately advised me that this formation diagram should not be given to anyone else, not even Senior Sister Zhang.

Uncle Pang, Old Man Yuan and Uncle Huang were fine. As the previous disciples of Jiushan Sect, it was actually not unacceptable.

However, outsiders and new disciples like Madam Xuanhua have different feelings towards Senior Sister Zhang. In their minds, Senior Sister Zhang is more of a high-ranking member of the sect.

If there is anything special about Senior Sister Zhang, it is probably that in their eyes, her identity as a Taoist partner is even more special.

Thinking of this, Zheng Fa looked towards Senior Sister Zhang's yard.

This transformation seemed natural, but it seemed as if someone was secretly pushing it forward. In the past few years, although Senior Sister Zhang still helped to handle the affairs of the sect, and even worried about more than Zheng Fa himself, she rarely stepped into the spotlight on weekdays.

Just as he was lost in thought, Kendoshen suddenly spoke: "Wait."

"Um?"

"He will help you deal with the miscellaneous matters of the Nine Mountains Realm and gather the incense, and I will help you refine the formation diagram and improve your strength."

"right."

"And you?"

Zheng Fa's expression was serious: "I have something else important to do."

The swordsman narrowed his eyes, his gaze like lightning: "What's the important matter?"

"Senior Sister helped me a lot in my early years. Now that I've reached the Mahayana stage, it's time for me to repay her." Zheng Fa said sincerely, "Help her cultivate."

"...When you say help her practice, do you mean the help her practice that I was thinking of?"

Zheng Fa said solemnly, "You know, if my Jiushan Sect has one more Mahayana cultivator, our strength will increase by one point. Since this is the case, as the Sect Leader, it is my natural responsibility to help."

“…”

Watching Zheng Fa fly away, the Sword Dao Body turned his head and looked at the Heavenly Emperor Body. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Isn't this division of labor a bit unreasonable?"

The Emperor of Heaven chuckled and said, "I think so too."

"Right?"

"Shall we switch?"

Jian Dao Shen stopped complaining when he heard this - practicing Tianhe Fa was certainly not as comfortable as dual cultivation, but was Shinto Fa something for humans to practice?

…

Three days later, Zheng Facai walked out of Senior Sister Zhang's courtyard.

It’s not that he can only hold on for three days, but even if he assigns all the difficult work to his two clones, there are still many things in Jiushan Sect that he needs to preside over personally.

One of them is what I mentioned before, starting to lecture on the "Huangting Jing".

The second one is more important - the ceremony of the Tianhe Legion's formation and sword-awarding.

On the playground of Xuanwuyuan Military Academy, one hundred and eight Nascent Souls and four hundred and thirty-six Golden Cores stood in four teams.

Their bodies were like sturdy pines and cypresses, without any sound at all, even their breathing seemed to be one and barely audible.

The wind blew on the playground, and they seemed even quieter in the wind.

Yan Wushuang stood at the front of a team, looking at the platform in front of the team with complicated eyes.

On the high platform, Zheng Fa stood in front, with Xie Qingxue and others standing behind him.

Yan Wushuang's eyes swept across Xie Qingxue's face, and seeing that her expression was somewhat indescribable, he knew that she was thinking the same thing as he was:

The Four Swords of Zhu Xian...are ultimately the most precious treasures of the Tianhe Sect.

Today, Zheng Fa will teach all the disciples. Although he and his senior sister are also "accomplices", they still feel a little sad.

On the high platform, Zheng Fa's eyes swept across the faces of the more than 500 disciples one by one, as if he was memorizing each one of them.

"After selection at the military academy and assessment by the instructors, you have achieved superb swordsmanship and possess extraordinary character, making you worthy of becoming pillars of the sect."

There was a slight commotion among the disciples.

"Following the decision of the Nine Mountain Elders Council, you have all been selected for the Sword Dao Corps, codenamed 'Tianhe'!"

The wind suddenly grew stronger, blowing up dust and blowing towards Yan Wushuang and the others.

But they didn't even blink, just their breathing became a little heavier.

"Li Lingfeng is hereby appointed as the Chief of the Xianxian Division of the Tianhe Legion."

"Appointed... as the Chief of the Immortal Slayer Division."

"Appointed... as the Chief of the Absolute Immortal Division."

Yan Wushuang waited quietly, and indeed heard his name: "Appoint Yan Wushuang as the chief of the Zhuxian Department."

He knew that this position of chief was not stable. It only represented that his current attainments in the "Zhu Xian Sword Canon" surpassed others.

But if someone more talented than him comes along in the future, he will lose the position of chief.

On the high platform, Xie Qingxue took two steps forward, holding the Xianjian Sword in both hands, turned sideways, and faced Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa nodded gently, then stretched out his hands, held the Xianjian Sword in front of him, and shouted to the audience:

"Li Lingfeng, Chief of the Xian Xian Division, take the Xian Xian Sword!"

A disciple walked out of the queue, slowly climbed onto the platform, saluted Zheng Fa, and then took the Xianjian Sword.

“…Take the Immortal Slaughter Sword!”

“…Take the Immortal Sword!”

"Zhu Xian Division Chief Yan Wushuang, take the Zhu Xian Sword!"

Yan Wushuang walked up the stairs with a stern face and came in front of Zheng Fa.

Zheng Fa looked into his eyes, smiled gently, and handed the Zhuxian Sword in his hand to him.

Yan Wushuang took a deep breath and raised the Zhuxian Sword.

The Zhuxian Sword was naturally not heavy for him, a Nascent Soul - but at this moment he felt that the sword was as heavy as a thousand pounds, and he was afraid that he could not hold it steadily, and his fingers were throbbing with blue veins.

He and the other three chiefs stood in front of Zheng Fa, turned around and faced the disciples below the stage.

Zheng Fa's voice sounded behind them:

"These four swords are the supreme immortal swords of the Xuanwei Realm. I entrust them to you today."

"The legion is called Tianhe, and you all know its origins."

Zheng Fa's words made Yan Wushuang's cheeks tighten even more.

"I am honored by Venerable Tianhe's appreciation for passing on the Tianhe Dharma to me. Today, I will pass on these four swords to you."

No disciples spoke, only the sound of the wind whistling in the playground.

"The Tianhe Legion will be the strongest legion of the Jiushan Sect."

"On weekdays, you only need to practice and do not need to carry out any tasks. The sect will distribute the good merits."

Zheng Fa's tone became heavier and his voice became louder.

"Kung Fu, you are learning Xuanwei's most powerful sword manual."

"Whatever you need, the sect will provide you with elixirs."

"Immortal Sword, there is no sword in the world more powerful than the Four Swords of Zhu Xian."

"This is the result of your hard work and your swordsmanship."

Many disciples couldn't help but show a hint of pride on their faces.

"But I hope you remember that the elixirs you use for cultivation are made by disciples within the sect."

"Even every bit of good deeds is the result of the hard work of disciples from other departments."

"While you are cultivating peacefully, the other disciples are busy planting spiritual plants, crafting magical weapons, refining elixirs, and completing missions. They have no time to rest for a single day."

The pride on the disciples' faces slowly disappeared.

"I also hope that you will remember that the Tianhe Law you practice was created by Venerable Tianhe."

"The Four Swords of Zhu Xian are also the inheritance of the Tianhe Sect in the last era."

Yan Wushuang blinked.

"What you want to inherit shouldn't just be the Tianhe Law and the Four Swords of Zhuxian. Do you understand?"

The disciples were silent for a moment, then shouted in unison: "Understood!"

"Very good." Zheng Fa nodded gently and continued, "If the day comes that the sect needs you to go on a campaign, it will be a matter of life and death for the Jiushan Sect."

"When that time comes, will you be able to sacrifice your lives for those Nine Mountain disciples who have silently sacrificed for you?"

"able!"

Zheng Fa's eyes swept across the faces of these disciples, and after half an incense stick, he smiled:

"I declare that the Tianhe Legion is officially established."

"I hope that you will carve out a smooth road for me, Jiushan, and this Xuanwei in the future."

Yan Wushuang was filled with blessing. He and the three chiefs beside him drew their swords and shouted loudly: "For Jiushan, for Xuanwei, carve out a smooth road!"

Four sword rainbows, accompanied by the disciples' shouts, cut through the wind and clouds and soared into the sky.
