268: Taking the Immortal Fruit, the Golden Horde's reaction

In the Cultivation room of Yard No. 3, Camp A.

Chu Jiang held the Thunder Marrow Celestial Origin Fruit, lightly sniffing its fragrance, feeling his limbs and bones cheering and emitting a desire for evolution.

Strands of purple lightning swirled around it, containing an extremely vast essence of Thunder attribute.

Chu Jiang's pores opened wide, greedily absorbing the aura emitted by the fruit.

To evolve to the Thunderous Body, one must first consume the Thunder Marrow Celestial Origin Fruit to cleanse the marrow and body, increase the Foundation of the Dao of Thunder, and lay the Foundation before there is a possibility of success.

Chu Jiang swallowed in large gulps, his body seemingly covered by a layer of thunder membrane, his muscles radiating a crystal-clear luster, and strands of thunder foxes moved around his body.

This pure energy slowly permeated every inch of his bone marrow and Meridians.

Under the dual refinement of the Azure Wood Emperor Skill and the Ten Thousand Refinements Art, it took three hours to absorb all of the Thunder Marrow Celestial Origin Fruit.

Chu Jiang felt unprecedentedly relaxed; this fruit had already integrated into every inch of his flesh and blood, and his Soul had even grown slightly.

This was just an appetizer.

"Refining a third-grade fruit in reality only takes a few hours, but consuming demon life essence takes a year or even several years!"

Chu Jiang muttered to himself, seriously suspecting that the system had taken the lion's share, and in reality, it didn't require so much Lifespan at all.

Continue.

The Myriad Thunder Immortal Fruit rolled in Chu Jiang's palm, its medicinal power dozens of times that of the Thunder Marrow Celestial Origin Fruit.

Legend has it that the Myriad Thunder Immortal Fruit grows in the Heaven and Earth Thunder Marsh, nourished by dozens of types of lightning, and only after thousands of years can it bear fruit.

After a moment of silence.

Chu Jiang began to refine the Myriad Thunder Immortal Fruit, and an exceptionally surging Thunder attribute energy frantically poured into Chu Jiang's body.

Crackle! Pop!

Like a tide formed by thunder, wave after wave, it washed over every inch of Chu Jiang's skin, every inch of his flesh, and even cleansed his Soul, making it more solid.

The Nine Revolutions Magic Thunder acted as the main commander within his body, directing these wild horses that had broken free towards the correct trajectory.

Above his head, a lightning vortex slowly appeared.

Possessing a unique thunder, the speed of refining Heaven And Earth Treasure far exceeded that of ordinary people; if it were an ordinary person, it would take at least several months to completely refine the medicinal power.

Everything proceeded as smoothly as flowing water, and as for whether this Myriad Thunder Immortal Fruit could allow Chu Jiang to transform into the Thunderous Body, that could only depend on Heavenly Mandate.

Just as Chu Jiang was refining the Myriad Thunder Immortal Fruit, Yard No. 3 also fell into silence, and time quietly slipped away.

...

During Chu Jiang's closed-door Cultivation, the border underwent a major purge, utilizing the Barbarian Emperors Son and others, after multiple reviews, with the Ironblood General taking action to root out the Barbarian Race's moles within the military.

A total of seventeen traitors of general rank and above were arrested, all of whom were executed and stripped of their military status.

...

At the Wild Cloud County boundary monument.

"Our Wild Cloud County was able to escape danger from the barbarians this time, thanks to the Divine Might of the border army, and also a Senior with great Divine Ability!"

A white-haired scholar was taking his students on an outing; the stone sculpture of the traitor Li Ze stood here, making it an excellent place for a lecture.

"Who is this Senior?"

The students asked.

"Yun Province Pacification Commissioner, Chu Jiang, Senior Chu!"

The students silently remembered this name.

The white-haired scholar continued:

"Senior Chu single-handedly killed nearly forty thousand Barbarian troops, successively saving Boyun County and Linhai County from dire straits!"

"When the border army arrived as reinforcements, he then annihilated all the invading Barbarian troops in one fell swoop!"

"Even so, our Wild Cloud County was still massacred by the Barbarian Race, with over three hundred thousand casualties!"

"This is the result of the traitor Li Ze allowing the Barbarian army to enter the pass, which is why Senior Chu made him into a stone sculpture for future generations to be warned by!"

"And also..."

The scholar vividly narrated Li Ze's story, adding some artistic creation, as if he had personally experienced it, leaving the students stunned.

"Do you all understand?"

If in the future, you betray the country, betray the common people, this is the kind of outcome you will face.

The students responded in unison: "We understand!"

A boy with a large head suddenly exclaimed loudly: "One day in the future, I also want to become such a peerless hero."

"Hahahaha!"

"Alright, Big Head, stop playing, study hard, and strive for official success in the future, a peerless hero..."

Someone in the crowd jeered.

"Quiet, it's a good thing for Big Head to have such awareness, don't worry about whether he can achieve it or not, at least he has the heart for it!"

The white-haired scholar said, great people in history must have extraordinary beliefs, although he also thought it unlikely for Big Head to become someone like Senior Chu.

But this is the heart of a pure child, and who can say what the future holds.

The reason the future is called the future is because it is full of unknowns and uncertainties, which allows for imagination.

The white-haired scholar smiled.

This trip was a Perfection, not in vain.

...

Barbarian Race, Golden Tent Royal Court.

The Golden Tent Royal Court is the core of the Barbarian Race, built in the most lush part of the grassland, with abundant water and grass, near the Barbarian Race's largest lake, Bei Shen Lake.

Though called a lake, it is actually as vast as an ocean, boundless, covering an area almost equivalent to one-fifth of the Barbarian Race's territory.

In Bei Shen Lake, lives the Demon Clan; they are inseparable from the Barbarian Race, intimate and cooperative for countless years.

When the Great Chu was founded, the Seven Divine Humans suppressed the Demon Clan throughout the land, and one Demon Clan secretly fled west, taking advantage of the chaos in the world and weak defenses to cross the border and enter the Barbarian Race's territory.

The Barbarian Emperor at that time granted them Bei Shen Lake as their habitat.

This is merely the most widely circulated version; when the demons of Bei Shen Lake truly came into existence is still unknown.

The Golden Tent Royal Court is built on Tianlang Mountain, with three sides converging, leaving only one exit, almost completely enclosed.

Numerous buildings are hidden among the mountains and forests, appearing and disappearing, and there is also a large cluster of palaces, adorned with various Vicious Beast patterns, full of a wild and ancient aura.

Among them, the most dazzling ancient Barbarian palace, nine stories high, is the most luxurious building of the Golden Tent Royal Court, full of majesty.

This palace is the Barbarian God Tower, the Barbarian Race's treasured Divine Artifact, each floor having its own unique Heaven and Earth and different mysteries, it is a complete Divine Artifact.

Mortal Weapon, Spiritual Artifact, Magic Treasure, and above that is Divine Artifact.

Divine Artifacts are legendary weapons used by Divine Beings, possessing infinite power and boundless strength.

The Barbarian God Tower is the Holy Land of the Barbarian Race; only Clan Chief Elders and some exceptionally outstanding younger generations can go beyond the third floor.

The first floor is open all year round and can also be used as a venue for important Barbarian Race meetings.

At this moment, on the first floor of the Barbarian God Tower.

Inside the grand hall, countless Barbarian Race powerhouses were seated, their immense Qi almost capable of crushing mountains; none who could set foot here were below the Faxiang Realm.

"The Ninth Prince has fallen into the hands of Marquis Shenwei, and the army that crossed the border has been completely annihilated, including the thirty thousand elite troops waiting outside as reinforcements!"

"This plan has completely failed!"

In the center of the hall, there was an ancient cyan throne, filled with an ancient and vast aura.

Above it, a black-robed figure leaned back in the chair, a pair of desolate eyes slowly scanned the hall below, and a faint voice echoed throughout the hall.
