Capítulo 1227: Chapter 1212: Heavy Assault Group

“It’s been a whole night, a whole night, why haven’t Commander Jiangg and the others returned yet?”

At dawn, Princess Jie Youu, who had just stepped out of the tent, made a single round and immediately her voice started to tremble.

“I’m not sure about this!” Ye Zhen looked worried, “Maybe they went to hunt down the demons, or perhaps they were injured, or maybe….”

The rest of Ye Zhen’s words went unspoken, but the meaning was all too clear. Realizing a certain possibility, Princess Jie Youu’s delicate face immediately turned as pale as paper, and she stumbled back into the tent. “What should we do, what should we do?” she said, directing a helpless gaze toward Ye Zhen.

“Your Highness, the best choice now is for us to set off immediately. As long as we enter Xitian County, you’ll be mostly safe!” Ye Zhen said.

“Set off immediately, without waiting for Commander Jiangg and the others? What if they return?” Princess Jie Youu’s expression was somewhat bewildered.

“They didn’t return overnight, which means they most likely failed. If they barely managed to escape back, they probably brought strong demons back with them….” Ye Zhen spoke these lies without batting an eye.

“If there are demons, then leave, let’s leave quickly…..” Princess Jie Youu was already like a frightened bird.

Moments later, Ye Zhen and Princess Jie Youu sat cross-legged on the back of the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten and left the camp.

As they departed, Princess Jie Youu specifically reminded Ye Zhen to leave some kind of mark, saying that Jiangg Hao and others might see it if they returned!

Ye Zhen could only smile to himself at that suggestion.

Commander Jiangg, Guo Neiyu, and the others would never return.

This illegitimate child of Chief Guo was clever, but unfortunately, he lacked experience. He didn’t even utter a sound before being eliminated by Ye Zhen, saving him a lot of trouble.

If Chief Guo knew that the capital he painstakingly prepared for his son all went cheaply to Ye Zhen, would he spit blood?

When he was on the True Profound Continent, Ye Zhen didn’t quite realize the importance of a mount, perhaps because the Heavenly Dao was too fragmented; martial artists could fly without much effort, albeit at a slightly slower speed.

But on the Primordial Continent, the importance of a flying mount became thoroughly apparent.

For instance, the Cloud Winged Tiger King, which had a flying talent of its own, could utilize its talent ability to gather endless Cloud Qi to accelerate, and wasn’t significantly affected by geocentric magnetism.

Under these circumstances, it could easily fly for a day and night without needing rest.

In this way, Ye Zhen was also freed. Holding a Psychic Spirit Pill, he let the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten fly towards Xitian County, allowing him time to cultivate in peace.

After a few days, the effects of cultivating with the Psychic Spirit Pill were completely understood.

The effect of cultivating with the Psychic Spirit Pill for Ye Zhen was roughly equivalent to the effect of cultivating for one day on the True Profound Continent using a Supreme Spirit Crystal for seven and a half days.

About seven and a half times the magnitude.

The enhancement of Divine Soul Power wasn’t as significant, only equivalent to one day of Ye Zhen’s previous Divine Soul Power cultivation.

But this was already a great benefit.

By only refining the Psychic Spirit Pill, both Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Power could be enhanced simultaneously, allowing for the enhancement of both types of power within a single time period, which invisibly doubled the rate of strength growth for Ye Zhen and the others.

The effect of this Low Grade Psychic Spirit Pill was so strong that Ye Zhen suddenly became very curious about what effects the Mid-grade and High Grade Psychic Spirit Pills might have?

Based on Ye Zhen’s current consumption rate, one Psychic Spirit Pill could only sustain Ye Zhen’s cultivation for about eighteen days, equating to slightly over three months of hard cultivation time on the True Profound Continent.

Moreover, as Ye Zhen’s cultivation level increased, the rate at which he refines the Psychic Spirit Pill also gradually increased.

Ye Zhen estimated that, under current conditions, within at most half a year, his cultivation would be able to rise from the Fifth Stage of the Establishment Realm to the Sixth Stage Establishment.

In half a year, he would only need to consume eleven Psychic Spirit Pills, enough since he currently possesses close to sixty Psychic Spirit Pills, which could sustain Ye Zhen’s cultivation for nearly three years.

However, in fact, these sixty Psychic Spirit Pills are not even enough for Ye Zhen’s annual consumption.

Because Ye Zhen is not the only one consuming the Psychic Spirit Pills!

The little demon within Ye Zhen’s Yimu Spiritual Vein is a major consumer of Psychic Spirit Pills. Based on its consumption rate, it can consume one Psychic Spirit Pill every seven to eight days, twice the rate of Ye Zhen.

Moreover, since sniffing the Psychic Spirit Pills a month ago, the kitten has completely given up its previous favorite staples like Demon Cores and Spirit Crystals, and completely taken to the Psychic Spirit Pills.

Although the kitten’s speed of refining the Psychic Spirit Pill is slower, time is on its side.

Like Ye Zhen, with twelve hours in a day, aside from being closed away in hard cultivation, he can devote up to six hours a day to cultivation under normal conditions.

But for the kitten, as a Demon Beast, once it swallows the Psychic Spirit Pill, its body almost instinctively absorbs and refines the vast Spiritual Power from the Psychic Spirit Pill every day for twelve hours.

Basically, like Ye Zhen, it needs two Psychic Spirit Pills a month.

Thus, taking into account the little demon’s minimum consumption of four pills a month, Ye Zhen needs to consume eight Psychic Spirit Pills a month. Sixty Psychic Spirit Pills for an ordinary Martial Artist might last several years, but for Ye Zhen, it’s only seven to eight months of consumption.

Thus, Ye Zhen urgently needs to find a way to obtain more Psychic Spirit Pills now.

As long as there is a sufficient supply of Psychic Spirit Pills, Ye Zhen believes that in as little as three years, or at most five years, his cultivation could reach the Peak Ninth Stage Establishment Realm.

Moreover, with enough Psychic Spirit Pills, the Cloud Winged Tiger King Kitten might also have a chance to break through its current bottleneck.

As for the Little Demon, that creature is essentially a freak, a monster created by thirteen Ancient Tree Demons after nearly ten thousand years of joint efforts.

If there are sufficient Psychic Spirit Pills, who knows what level it could grow to?

In any case, in these few days, Ye Zhen has thought of new ways to utilize the Little Demon’s abilities.

The continuous flying ability of the Cloud Winged Tiger King shortened the originally estimated five-day journey to three days.

In fact, by the evening of the second day after Ye Zhen took out Jiang Hao and his men, they were already less than four hundred thousand miles from the capital of the Xitian County.

At a distance of four hundred thousand miles, Talisman Communication is already possible, and the homesick Princess Jie Youu, eager to return home, sent out seven talisman communications to her father, Lord Xitian.

As a result, by noon the next day, a troop of ten thousand soldiers from the Xitian County’s Border Army, stationed thousands of miles away, was dispatched to escort them.

This Border Army from Xitian County left Ye Zhen deeply shocked.

Among the ten thousand troops, even the most ordinary soldier had the cultivation of the Soul Sea Realm, and they were all Body Cultivators with extremely robust physiques, a rarity on the True Profound Continent.

Their bulging muscles represented immense physical strength, even the weapons of the most ordinary soldiers weighed a thousand jin, all of a high grade Artifact level.

Standard armor, while forever merely armor on the True Profound Continent, reached the level of Artifact even for the lowest-ranking soldiers’ armor on the Primordial Continent.

Especially the blood-glowing crossbow bolts at their waists, seemingly unimpressive individually, but in mass, even Dao Realm experts would not dare face them head-on.

The lowest-grade soldiers were already Martial Artists of the Soul Sea Realm, and the commanders leading ten-man teams were all at the Fifth Stage of the Soul Sea Realm, some even reaching the Vein Forging Realm.

However, the most astonishing thing was not the commander of this ten-thousand strong army at the Sixth Stage of the Dao Entrance Realm, but rather their thousand-strong Heavy Assault Group.

This Heavy Assault Group consisted of one thousand mid-stage Vein Forging Realm Martial Artists and one hundred mid-stage Establishment Realm Martial Artists, with all standard equipment at the Spirit Artifact Grade, and the equipment of the one hundred Establishment Realm Martial Artists all being Low Grade Soul Artifacts.

Each person’s standard equipment included three pieces: armor, long knife, and crossbow, all Low Grade Soul Artifacts.

Moreover, with Ye Zhen’s perspective as an Artifact Refiner, these standard pieces of equipment seemed to have a peculiar synergy, and perhaps with someone guiding them, they could unleash power far beyond their grades.

Ye Zhen dared to bet that in a direct charge, with his strength, he could at most take down ten men from this Heavy Assault Group before being sliced into pieces!

Even if the Great Saint of Jinghai, the Great Sage of the Overturning Sea, and the Sea-Breaking Great Saint were here, they could not withstand the charge of this Heavy Assault Group!

This military power left Ye Zhen utterly astounded.

If this was merely the military strength of a small county’s army, what about the higher-ranking counties, marquisates, and duchies? And what about the elite of the Great Zhou Empire that ruled over all?

At that moment, Ye Zhen was immensely intrigued by the grand world of the Primordial Continent.

Here, on the Primordial Continent, is where the eagle truly soars high in the sky!

This is where Ye Zhen could make his mark!

Compared to the Primordial Continent, the True Profound Continent is nothing more than a bird’s nest beneath the vast sky!

The army that came to welcome them immediately shielded Princess Jie Youu, while another group encircled Ye Zhen.

The leading general locked his eyes full of evil qi on Ye Zhen, clearly ready to chop Ye Zhen into meat paste with just one order from Princess Jie Youu.

Returning to Xitian County, under the heavy protection of ten thousand troops, Princess Jie Youu’s fear vanished completely, and she once again became the lofty, noble Princess.

She looked at Ye Zhen with a condescending gaze, her beautiful eyes shining with calculations, though she hadn’t made up her mind yet.

Ye Zhen naturally knew what Princess Jie Youu was contemplating.

In fact, he had long anticipated this situation!

Princess Jie Youu’s time at Xiansheng Water Mansion was unbearable, a period she wished to completely forget!

However, Ye Zhen, the one who rescued her from Xiansheng Water Mansion, was a constant reminder of that shameful past.

As long as Ye Zhen was gone, she could remain the pure and noble Princess Jie Youu.

But as long as Ye Zhen existed, her image of high status and purity could collapse at any moment.

Now, with the arrival of the army, it was the perfect time to eliminate Ye Zhen!

In the internal struggle, the ferocity in Princess Jie Youu’s beautiful eyes grew more and more intense!
