Chapter 421: Huge Reward Increase
For Lu Changjing, the difference between knife skills and sword skills is really not that big.
After obtaining the Yizhong Sword, Lu Changjing was delighted and directly changed to practice the Nine Dragon Sword Skill. In just a few days, he also practiced the Nine Dragon Sword Skill.
The power of the Great Perfection Level Nine Dragon Sword Skill is not inferior to the previous knife skills, and even with the blessing of the Yizhong Sword, the power is further improved.
With Lu Changjing's current resources and wealth, it is naturally not difficult to obtain a top-level earth weapon.
But if you want to obtain a sword like the Yizhong Sword that is almost tailor-made for him, it is very difficult, even more difficult than obtaining a heavenly weapon.
The Yizhong Sword is a surprise for Lu Changjing. After the surprise, it is natural to practice hard.
The skills, combat skills, and secondary positions are all waiting for him. There is no free time at all. What's more, the blood beasts are moving abnormally, and the Wanxiang Sea is a little uneasy. It is even more necessary to speed up the progress of practice and have stronger strength.
No one dares to confirm when the blood disaster will break out. According to the current anomaly, the possibility of a thousand-year blood disaster is very high.
The so-called thousand-year blood disaster, also known as the great blood disaster, does not mean that it will happen once every thousand years.
In some seas, if the blood beasts reproduce too quickly, it may happen once every few hundred years. However, if the blood beasts in some seas reproduce slowly or are often cleaned up, it may only happen once every one or two thousand years. This is all possible.
For example, the last thousand-year blood disaster in the Wanxiang Sea occurred more than 1,300 years ago. In other words, it has been more than 1,300 years, and there has been no thousand-year blood disaster, that is, a great blood disaster.
The same is true for the hundred-year blood disaster. It may happen once every few decades, or it may happen in one or two hundred years.
As for the ten-thousand-year blood disaster, it is not necessary to say that it will not happen in ten thousand years, but there is a deviation.
Sometimes it will be affected by other factors. For example, if there is a large-scale invasion of blood beasts from other seas, it will also cause blood disasters of various levels to occur in advance.
Blood disasters are not fixed. The so-called hundred-year blood disaster, thousand-year blood disaster, ten-thousand-year blood disaster... are just to distinguish the level of blood disasters, not the time when blood disasters occur.
But generally speaking, the predictions of these times are still relatively accurate, and the error will not be too large, unless there are special circumstances.
Just like the blood beast movement this time, the reason why many people think that this is a sign of a thousand-year blood disaster is mainly because the time has come, and the blood beasts have reproduced for more than a thousand years, and the number of blood beasts gathered is indeed enough to form a thousand-year blood disaster.
In addition, the number of blood beasts moving far exceeds the small blood disaster, so it is normal to speculate that a big blood disaster may occur.
However, it has been more than 1,300 years, which has been delayed for more than 300 years compared to normal times, so it is normal for a big blood disaster to occur.
Fortunately, Chang'an Island is located deep in the Fengtian Cold Prison, and there are very few blood beasts inside, and blood beasts outside cannot enter.
Especially after the previous disaster, the number of blood beasts is only one in a hundred, almost not much, and it is impossible to form any blood disaster.
To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, although this is not what Chang'an Island wants.
The blood disaster is indeed a disaster, but if you can survive it safely, you can also harvest a large amount of resources and treasures from it, especially the corpses of blood beasts, which are great tonics and are of great help to cultivation.
Lu Changjing would rather face the threat of the blood disaster than face the Sealing Heaven Cold Prison.
As time goes by, the signs of the great blood disaster are getting stronger and stronger. Many islands have found abnormalities and then reported them to the Wanxiang Sect.
Lu Changjing stepped up his time to practice, and he never stopped purifying the blood black tortoise and blood blue dragon. Thanks to the purification technique that he practiced to the great success, Lu Changjing successfully purified the blood black tortoise and turned it into his own black tortoise servant in just over a year.
However, at this time, small blood disasters also began to break out frequently. The Wanxiang Sect has confirmed that the great blood disaster is about to break out. The great blood disaster should break out in a few months at the fastest and one or two years at the slowest.
Facing the thousand-year blood disaster, the Wanxiang Sect did not dare to be careless and had begun to prepare.
One by one, tasks related to clearing blood beasts were assigned. In the next three years, the contribution points obtained by killing blood beasts will increase by about 30%.
Among the tasks issued in the Contribution Hall, more than 80% are tasks for clearing blood beasts. At the same time, semi-mandatory tasks are directly assigned, that is, all formal disciples must kill a certain number of blood beasts.
The higher the ranking on the major lists, the better the various treatments received, and the more blood beasts the disciples need to kill.
As a well-known peerless genius on the three major lists of Wanxiang Sect, the number of blood beasts that Lu Changjing needs to kill is naturally an astronomical number.
However, even if there are no semi-mandatory tasks, Lu Changjing will kill a large number of blood beasts for his own industry and resources.
The purpose of these tasks is to reduce the number of blood beasts as much as possible before the outbreak of the great blood disaster, thereby weakening the power of the great blood disaster.
The scale of the thousand-year-level great blood disaster is beyond imagination. Not to mention Wanxiang Sect, all human beings in the entire sea area, and even the various races of demons and monsters, have begun to take action to jointly clear the various blood beasts in this sea area.
Everyone put aside their previous conflicts and temporarily united.
Because everyone knew that a blood disaster of this level could bring disastrous consequences if not handled carefully. Even the Wanxiang Sect, the overlord of the Wanxiang Sea, could suffer heavy losses.
Maybe he can continue to be the overlord of the Wanxiang Sea, but if he comes a few more times, he may lose his position as the overlord.
Therefore, the Wanxiang Sect will not be careless every time it faces the Millennium Blood Disaster to avoid any accidents.
Lu Changjing naturally received relevant news and tasks. At this moment, he is practicing the Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique, which is also the number one sword control technique in the Wanxiang Sea.
This Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique is a contribution he made at a great cost. It was exchanged from the Heavenly Sword Elephant. It can control the sword in various environments and attack the enemy. It also has auxiliary and defensive effects, which can be said to be all-round and without dead ends.
Moreover, its power in all aspects is quite amazing. Whether it is attack, defense or assistance, it is top-notch. Only when combined can it become the number one sword control technique in the Wanxiang Sea.
Since he got the Yizhong Sword, Lu Changjing specially exchanged this Wanxiang Sword Controlling Technique. After more than a year of practice, with the help of many sudden realizations, he has practiced it to the state of small success and can exert enough power.
The Nine Dragon Sword Technique has also been further improved. With the help of the Yizhong Sword, the power it unleashed is no less powerful than the previous sword technique.
Billions of sword lights flashed around, and each sword light was a small and exquisite Yizhong Sword. Under the control of Lu Changjing's terrifying Xuanhun power, these Yizhong Swords were like living things, shuttling back and forth, forming formations, and the highest had reached the level of top-level Xuanzhen Group.
Wanxiang Yujianshu is worthy of being the first Yujianshu in the Wanxiang Sea Area, and it is indeed extraordinary.
Lu Changjing naturally kept an eye on what happened in the Wanxiang Sea Area. He originally thought that after purifying the blood blue dragon, he would go out to hunt blood beasts and earn Wanxiang contributions.
But he didn't expect to receive news soon, saying that the number of blood beasts gathered around his industry Baishi Mining Area was a bit unusual, and it was very likely that a small blood disaster would break out.
The Baishi mining area is an important industry he obtained from Cao Mei, which makes Cao Mei, a middle-level earth master, attach great importance to it. Every year, it can produce a large amount of Xuan-level resources, white stones, and some white stone essences, which are earth-level resources.
Not to mention Cao Mei's attention, Lu Changjing also attaches great importance to this place. Among the many industries and resources of the Dajing Immortal Dynasty, the value of the Baishi mining area is one of the best.
After receiving the news that the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area were abnormally agitated, Lu Changjing did not care about practicing and purifying the blood blue dragon, and immediately took the blood Kunpeng and the blood Xuanwu and rushed to the Baishi mining area.
Of course, the blood Kunpeng and the blood Xuanwu were all earth master clones, and they were hidden around Lu Changjing. On the surface, Lu Changjing brought a large number of warriors and legions of the Dajing Immortal Dynasty.
After learning that there were blood beasts above level 40 around the Baishi mining area, Cai Chaoan and Lu Xun arranged for the earth master level overlord to follow, but they were rejected by Lu Changjing.
With his current combat power comparable to that of a mid-level Earth Lord, he can even compete with an upper-level Earth Lord, especially when dealing with blood beasts, and has defeated blood beasts at the upper level of Earth Lord.
No matter how strong the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area are, they will not be stronger than upper-level Earth Lords. If there are really blood beasts at the extreme level of Earth Lord, Lu Changjing can kill them with his hidden trump card.
In addition, many areas under the jurisdiction of the Nine Suns Elephant are not peaceful now, so there is no need to waste the combat power of two Earth Lords.
Moreover, Lu Changjing does not want others to compete with him for the contribution of Wanxiang. It is not easy to encounter such a good opportunity, and he can't miss it.
So he personally led a large number of warriors from the Dajing Immortal Dynasty to the Baishi mining area, and secretly had the clones of Blood Kunpeng and Blood Xuanwu as a backup, so there was basically no need to worry about encountering any danger.
After all, according to the news from the Baishi mining area, the strongest blood beast that appeared around was only level 42, and even level 43 blood beasts were not found, but there were a little too many of them.
Even with a large number of people, Lu Changjing and his party arrived at the Baishi mining area after dozens of hours. The huge Baishi mining area is nearly 100 million square kilometers and is an island formed by a mountain range.
Mountains are everywhere, and there are almost no plains, valleys, lakes, etc. Deep in the mountains are rich white stone mines, which can be used to forge weapons above the Xuan level, and the value is extremely amazing.
In order to obtain the Baishi mining area, Cao Mei did not hesitate to kill several close friends with whom she had a good relationship, so that she could monopolize the Baishi mining area, which has brought her valuable resources and treasures over the years.
There are millions of miners in the huge Baishi mining area, basically all of them are warriors, and there are many masters, even gods and demons. Ordinary people can't mine Baishi at all.
Even if warriors don't have special high-level mining equipment, they can't mine Baishi. After all, this is a Xuan-level Xuanshi with extremely amazing hardness, and it is not so easy to mine.
In addition to the miners, there are nearly one million garrison warriors here. Together with the relatives and friends of these miners and garrison warriors, the total population of the Baishi mining area has reached hundreds of millions.
For an island with only nearly 100 million square kilometers, it can be said to be quite dense and prosperous, and it is also one of the richest islands among the surrounding islands.
The formation arranged in the Baishi mining area is a low-level earth formation group, called the Five Metals Mutual Prosperity Formation, which effectively utilizes the various mineral powers of the Baishi mineral.
With Lu Changjing's current top-level Xuanzhen Master's formation attainments, he can barely manipulate the Five Metals Mutual Prosperity Formation. With the power of this earth formation group alone, it is not a problem to deal with dozens of lower-level earth masters.
However, this requires a large amount of spiritual stones, Xuan stones, and even earth stones. This is his own territory, and Lu Changjing will not waste it.
The Five Metals Mutual Prosperity Formation is mainly used to protect the Baishi mining area. As for killing those blood beasts above level 40, it is better to leave it to Lu Changjing himself.
As the dragon and phoenix chariot drove, a large number of guarding warriors, miners, and their relatives and friends... all bowed down to Lu Changjing.
"Greetings to Prince Lu!"
Lu Changjing walked out of the dragon and phoenix chariot and asked everyone to get up and handle their own affairs. Don't pay attention to him.
"Everything is running normally in the mining area. The blood beasts outside will be left to me and the guarding warriors. Don't worry."
"If there are disciples of the Wanxiang Sect who want to earn Wanxiang contributions, they can also join the guarding warriors, but they must obey our command."
...
After listening to Lu Changjing's words, the Baishi mining area, which was originally a little anxious, suddenly calmed down.
Prince Lu, who ranks in the top three of the Wanxiang Blood Demon List, came to the Baishi Mining Area in person. There is also a ground-level formation group, the Five Metals Mutual Array, to protect it. With the help of the Xuan Array Group, Prince Lu can kill many blood beasts above level 40, not to mention the ground formation group.
This time, Lu Changjing also brought a large number of elites from the Dajing Immortal Dynasty, more than one million, and the worst were high-level warriors, many of whom were masters and gods and demons, and the number of Xuanzun was as high as three digits.
With the Five Metals Mutual Array backing, unless a large number of blood beasts above level 40 appear, there will be basically no danger in the Baishi Mining Area.
The Prince's Palace has been prepared for a long time. It is located deep in the Baishi Mining Area. It is made of many ores. It looks like platinum from a distance. This is also the core array of the Five Metals Mutual Array.
Lu Changjing only needs to stay here to control the huge Five Metals Mutual Array and attack the enemy.
The fluctuations of the mysterious soul covered a territory of billions of square kilometers, completely spreading outside the Baishi mining area, monitoring the surrounding large sea areas.
Hundreds of kilometers under the sea are also within the scope of the mysterious soul's monitoring. In this area, there are blood beasts shuttling back and forth everywhere, ranging from a few centimeters to tens of thousands of meters, densely packed, crisscrossing, and fighting from time to time.
All the blood beasts are becoming more and more agitated, and they may launch an attack on the Baishi mining area at any time. It can be said that Lu Changjing and his party came at the right time.
"Roar..."
"Roar..."
"Ah..."
...
The cries of various blood beasts sounded one after another in the deep sea, and no one knew what they meant.
Lu Changjing was also looking for a suitable enslavement object to see if he could take this opportunity to capture a few more powerful blood beasts. However, after a thorough investigation, he found that they were all low-level blood beasts, and even the intermediate blood beasts were not found. It was not worth Lu Changjing to enslave them.
After arriving at the Prince's Palace and taking a short rest, Lu Changjing began to understand the Five Metals Mutual Birth Array here.
With his current attainments in formations, and having done his homework beforehand, it only took him a few hours to master the Five Metals Mutual Producing Formation and unleash most of its power.
Then it was time to deal with the blood beasts around him!
