Chapter 544 Victory and Rest

At this moment, the Fire Crown God Cedar felt quite aggrieved.

He was originally confident of victory, but Sun Lingtong succeeded in stealing the victory, and the good situation was ruined.

The main reason is public incense.

If the Fire Crown God Shan is upright and builds a temple to attract incense, believers must chant its name before offering incense. In this way, the incense will belong to the Fire Crown God Shan.

But He has always hidden His true identity. Even Luo Chen, the forest chief who guards the Ten-Li Burning Forest, is unaware of His existence.

It was not until victory was in sight for the Three Generals' Camp and Luo Chen's intention to retreat became very obvious that the Fire Crown Divine Tree was forced to show up.

He knew very well that once the two countries took control of this place, they would conduct strict inspections and he would not be able to hide any longer!

"My incense!"

"Luo Chen, you must take my incense back, otherwise we will all lose!"

Luo Chen: “Puff!”

He vomited blood, became listless, and his morale and fighting spirit plummeted.

His face was extremely pale, and he looked like a dead man. "Where is the incense? Who stole it?"

Fire Crown God Cedar: "I don't know!"

Luo Chen: “Puff!!”

He spat out another mouthful of blood.

The fire crown was removed, and the three generals Liu, Guan and Zhang also staggered. It was difficult to attack for a while, so they had to make emergency adjustments.

At this time, it is the ordinary soldiers who recover faster.

Ning Zhuo found the right opportunity, mobilized the military, and strengthened his own magic.

For a moment, gold magic was cast, and golden knives, golden spears, golden swords, etc. launched a violent attack.

Gao Cuo was ready to make a move: "Master Jian, should we take action?"

Master Jian: "Wait a little longer! You, Huoguan Shenshan, and Luo Chen are all friendly forces. The divine order is with you. If you rashly attack your own people, you will not be able to stay in the Thousand Peaks Forest."

"It is a good idea to be patient for now!"

Gao Cuo nodded: "Understood, let the three generals kill the Fire Crown God Fir, then we can take the Wood Fire."

His main purpose for coming here has always been this rare fire.

However, while they were communicating, Ning Zhuo was also communicating with Lin Bufan.

"Master Lin, it's up to you to take action and seize the Wood Fire!" Ning Zhuo used his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Lin Bufan through the token.

Ever since the Ning family, the Wanyao Sect and the Zhu family, the royal family of the Nandou Kingdom, secretly reached an alliance on the Linlang Yingzhao Wall, these main members have each other's tokens and can communicate within a short distance.

Lin Bufan was not surprised to see that Ning Zhuo had seen through him.

This was because when he found Ning Zhuo before, he used the technique of "one leaf blocking the eyes", which was seen through by Sun Lingtong using the technique of "Wanli Youlong".

"Okay, I'll cooperate with you." Lin Bufan was quite straightforward.

The next moment, Ning Zhuo intensified his attack in an attempt to create opportunities.

The three generals all have the Golden Core cultivation level and recover faster than Luo Chen.

Zhang Hei took the lead and threw out the black snake spear directly.

Spear technique - snake fang throwing!

The black snake spear flew out with great force and arrived in front of Luo Chen in the blink of an eye.

Luo Chen wanted to dodge, but Guan Hong also attacked immediately.

Talent——Purple Beard! Although it is not at the level of magical power, Guan Hong has spent a lot of effort in developing this talent, and its power is enough to balance Luo Chen, whose state has plummeted.

Although it only froze him for a moment, it was enough.

The black snake spear pierced directly through Luo Chen's chest, creating a huge hole as big as a washbasin.

Luo Chen's heart, lungs, spine, ribs, etc. were all destroyed!

When his physical body died, Luo Chen sighed and quickly escaped from his Nascent Soul state.

Liu Er followed closely behind, wielding the Xuanhuang Sword and killing towards Yuanying.

Traveling through the void!

Luo Chen's Nascent Soul did not hesitate at all, and immediately escaped into the void, leaving the battlefield directly.

"No--!"

"Luo Chen, you can't escape!!"

The Fire Crown God Cedar roared in despair.

Without Luo Chen and public incense, even if he is a god, he is just like a bow without arrows, a cannon without ammunition, and a martial artist without strength.

Can only be slaughtered!

The three generals’ camp surrounded the Fire Crown Divine Cedar, bringing it the darkest despair.

Various attacks fell on the cedar tree, but he could still hold on for a while relying solely on his own strength.

Ning Zhuo has finished communicating with the three generals Liu, Guan, and Zhang.

The attack suddenly became violent, causing the Fire Crown Divine Cedar to stagger.

The next moment, Lin Bufan, who had been prepared for a long time, suddenly took action, split the trunk of the Fire Crown Divine Cedar, and took out the fire in the wood.

Generals Liu, Guan and Zhang were all "shocked" and roared in anger. Guan and Zhang wanted to chase and kill Lin Bufan, but were stopped by Liu Er and Ning Zhuo at the same time.

"It's just a little spark, just throw it away."

"We need to hold on here."

"It will be a great achievement if we can capture the Ten-Li Burning Forest. Let's not create unnecessary trouble!"

"That's right, beware of fraud!"

Gao Cuo and Jian Lao: ? ? ! ! "No, are you four useless? The spoils of war were right before our eyes, but someone snatched away the fire."

"Since you've snatched it away, why don't you go after it?"

Gao Cuo and Jian Lao both felt that it would take some time before they could make their move. They were waiting patiently, but the three generals attacked at the same time, and Lin Bufan had a short chance to recover, which allowed him to "seize" the opportunity and snatch the Wood Fire in public.

"Let's chase him quickly! If we're a little late, this guy will run far away!" Old Jian shouted in Gao Cuo's heart, becoming obviously impatient.

The two of them sneaked out quietly and chased Lin Bufan who was flying high in the sky.

Gao Cuo majored in the Book of Formless Shadows and was very good at disguising himself. Lin Bufan was followed all the way without noticing anything.

"This fire in the wood is indeed one of the three samadhis. It is indeed mysterious."

Lin Bufan has been the head of the sect for many years, and this is the first time he has come into contact with such an excellent fire.

"The Samadhi True Fire corresponds to the three elements of heaven, earth and man respectively. The fire in the wood is the fire of firewood, which is the fire of man."

"In the Ten Mile Burning Forest, human fire is used as a kind of fire. On the surface, it is used to refine various instruments, but in fact, it is through the gathering of incense and fire that it is used to refine the Fire Crown Divine Cedar."

"This must be the plan of the Shenxu Dragon King. It is indeed profound. Unfortunately, they were defeated by the armies of the two Zhu countries and the plan was abandoned halfway."

Lin Bufan has his own vision and perspective. Even if he was just watching the battle today, he could still catch a glimpse of some of the plans of the Ginseng Bearded Dragon King.

"The fire in the wood was refined by the Fire Crown God Cedar. The God Cedar must have been imprisoned first and would not lose its life. Therefore, this fire seed has always had an owner. Although I have snatched it, I still need to refine it before I can give it to Ning Zhuo."

Lin Bufan pondered secretly.

According to the agreement he and Ning Zhuo had just reached through spiritual consciousness in front of the formation.

Lin Bufan helped Ning Zhuo take away the Wood Fire, and Ning Zhuo later rewarded Lin Bufan for other cooperation.

According to the alliance between Wanyaomen and the Ning family, although Lin Bufan was not involved in the conspiracy before the battle, he still took the initiative to help Ning Zhuo refine the fire.

Liu Er quickly issued orders one after another.

Luo Chen was defeated and fled, with only his Nascent Soul surviving.

The master craftsman Yan Jin was captured, his other deputy, Fairy Liu Yan, died in battle, and the forest protection formation fell into the hands of the Three Generals Camp.

The Fire Crown Divine Cedar was tightly sealed and kept under strict guard.

At this point, the battle came to an end, and the Three Generals Camp became the winner, paying the price of more than 300 casualties and taking full control of the Shili Fenlin.

The letter reporting the victory was also sent out as soon as possible.

Let’s get started!

Ning Zhuo went into his own tent and entered into the Wanli Youlong. He activated the three major mechanical pedestals and quickly replenished the mechanical puppets.

In this battle, his army also suffered heavy losses. If it had not been for a wave of reinforcements in the middle, the entire army would have been wiped out.

One mechanical puppet after another was quickly produced.

Nowadays, Ning Zhuo has become more and more skilled in doing this job, and his output and efficiency have been slightly improved.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The improvement is not significant.

What can really bring about a huge improvement in efficiency is the mechanism pedestal.

"There should be other mechanism pedestals in that storage bag. Unfortunately it cannot be opened yet." Ning Zhuo thought of the military supplies of the clever Princess Shuangling.

If you have weapons in your hands, you will not be afraid.

As more and more mechanical dolls were added, Ning Zhuo became more and more relaxed.

During the break, he reviewed the expedition.

"Nascent Souls can escape into space, so it is difficult to kill them completely. Mulan's case is still a minority after all."

"In the end, my limits were still not tested. That's all."

"The Ten-Li Burning Forest, the Cloud Shoulder Dragon Platform, the Qiu Gen Bai Cao Cave, the Thousand Vine Fu Tian Corridor, etc., are resource bases built around the Dragon King Giant Tree Mountain."

"According to the intelligence, these strongholds were built by the Dragon King Temple and other major forces in Qianfeng Forest. They worked together and invested together. Each one was very expensive!"

"I didn't expect that the Shenxu Dragon King secretly did this and secretly supported the Fire Crown God Shan to become a god. He not only used the Ten Mile Burning Forest to create a god, but also used the god to secretly erode this stronghold. It's really a good plan."

"However, it is precisely because of this that public incense came into being, and this fatal flaw was created!"

Ning Zhuo has been trying to understand the situation and forces in Huoshi Xiancheng for more than ten years, and has a deep understanding of this aspect.

Like Lin Bufan, he also figured out the plan of the Shenxu Dragon King.

Thinking of this, he stroked his chest.

"I designed the Five Internal Organs Temple Spirit Technique, but I didn't expect it could be used here."

Now, his Fire Heart Temple is filled with huge amounts of incense.

During the battle, Ning Zhuo secretly gave his heart to Sun Lingtong and asked him to take it out to steal incense.

The existence of incense still depends on the gods to collect it.

Moreover, the Fire Crown Divine Cedar belongs to the Fire Element, which matches Ning Zhuo's Fire Element Heart Temple.

If it were someone else, without Ning Zhuo's miraculous magical power, even if they discovered the major flaw of the Fire Crown Divine Cedar, they would not be able to exploit it.

"Old Dice, can you also use these incense sticks?" Ning Zhuo shook his wrist, shook off the bracelet, and summoned the Dice Bone Demon God.

The Dice Bone Demon God immediately half-knelt on the ground: "Old slave, I pay my respects to the master."

"Master, you have a good eye. These incense sticks are for public use and have no owner. They are perfect for me to use to repair myself."

"but……"

Ning Zhuo: "But what?"

The Dice Bone Demon God continued, "However, my principles are quite different from those of the weapon refiners. Although these public incense can be absorbed by me and converted into divine power, the loss rate is much higher than that of the Fire Crown Divine Cedar."

Ning Zhuo waved his hand and said generously, "It's okay."

The Dice Bone Demon God was immediately filled with gratitude and praised Ning Zhuo's magnanimity and kindness.

Ning Zhuo just watched from the side.

It was the first time he saw with his own eyes that the gods took incense.

Although he was well-read, his books did not touch upon such secrets.

Ning Zhuo first released the Fire Heart Temple, which fell into the cabin and shrank to the size of a niche.

The Dice Bone Demon God's meditation posture was very peculiar. He was not sitting cross-legged, but half-squatting, with his body leaning forward and his palms pressed against the floor of the cabin.

The small temple opened its doors, revealing the incense burning inside.

The incense sticks gather together into one, and overall, it is a flame with a strange appearance.

At the outermost edge of the flame, there was gray smoke that kept drifting away. The flame itself was divided into two layers, the outermost layer was bright red, and the middle layer was golden amber.

The Dice Bone Demon God took a deep breath and absorbed the incense into his mouth and nose.

He quickly refined it and transformed it into new divine power.

The divine power was quickly digested and turned into divine magic to heal oneself.

Ning Zhuo saw some clues: "Although the gods are powerful, they need to consume incense and refine it into their own divine power. With divine power, it is the foundation of everything, and you can perform many divine arts."

"The Dice Bone Demon God is seriously injured and needs a large amount of divine power to heal."

"His temple was destroyed. Although his followers are still alive, they have been following me, so there is no chance to use the incense offerings that have accumulated."

"That's why gods often have believers, doctrines, and live in a small corner."

"Don't gods have any means to increase their own divine power?" Ning Zhuo thought of this and asked the Dice Bone Demon God directly.

The Dice Bone Demon God replied: Indeed, there are, but compared with absorbing and transforming incense, the efficiency is too low.

For the gods, transforming incense into divine power is the best way.

Many gods still retain their physical bodies, such as some demon cultivators. They need to transform demonic power and magic power into divine power, but their efficiency and results are far inferior to those of incense.

The dice bone demon god introduced the incense to Ning Zhuo: "Master, the public incense has only two layers, but most of the incense is personal, with three layers."

"The outermost shell of the world is the sediment of the believers' endless desires."

"The middle layer is the power of wishes, which is the power of prayers and requests."

"In the center of the core is the divine core, which is often inscribed with the name of a certain god in the form of divine script."

"Once there is incense in the name of a god, it belongs to someone else. It is difficult for other gods to use it unless the original owner lends it out."

Finally, the Dice Bone Demon God looked deeply at the Fire Heart Temple and said, "Master, according to your magic, you may be able to absorb the incense and transform it into divine power."

"Oh?" Ning Zhuo suddenly became interested.

But the Dice Bone Demon God added: "But if we follow the path of the gods, there are also many disadvantages."

"Master, you have a bright future ahead of you. I do not recommend you to take this path."

Ning Zhuo nodded, he also realized this.

Apart from other things, if he cultivates divine power, it means he is cultivating multiple things at the same time. There are many disadvantages to cultivating multiple things at the same time, and he is currently cultivating three dantians at the same time. This has greatly slowed down his cultivation progress, and cultivating divine power again is completely a thankless task.

The Dice Bone Demon God eventually absorbed most of the incense and restored himself to his original state.

Ning Zhuo continued with his physical training while waiting for Lin Bufan to come back to find him.

He was quite looking forward to Mu Zhonghuo.

As a result, after waiting for three days, Lin Bufan did not show up, but the messenger from the military supervisor Zhao Xi and the reply letter appeared.
