First Lord of Earth

The lord's mansion.

On top of the exquisite jade.

Xia Tian sat cross-legged.

In the air in front of him, an ancient Chinese "landscape painting" with silver-white clouds and dragon patterns and a scroll made of ink jade was suspended in the air, emitting a faint golden light.

Invisible spiritual fluctuations poured in from Xia Tian's body, covering the picture scroll. The golden light produced by the picture scroll also enveloped his own body.

Until the two sides resonate on a certain level and blend with each other!

"Phew, the refining is finally completed!"

Xia Tian opened his eyes suddenly.

With a wave of his hand, the "Battle Map of Jiangshan" in the air fell into the palm of his hand like a tired bird returning to its nest.

After completing Zhuge Liang's recruitment and arranging the territory's affairs for the new day, Xia Tian was able to take the time to sacrifice this super-grade rare object embryo into his own "natural rare object"!

"This 'wonderful object of heaven and earth' is a world of its own. As long as the rare treasure is put into it, the 'world' contained in it can be continuously expanded."

"Furthermore, the scroll can automatically absorb and transform void matter into spiritual power... Once cultivated, I have the equivalent of a whole world of spiritual power support, and can arbitrarily perform various spiritual techniques, spells, and supernatural powers that consume a lot of money... "

Summer's face smiles.

You know, the sword used to instantly kill the silver-named mountain ghost in the summer using "Dragon Battle Eight Desolate Steps" seemed very powerful and domineering, but correspondingly, the spiritual power stored in his body was also consumed a lot. Some of them will not be able to be used again in a short period of time.

"In fact, it's not just me. In theory, it takes a lot of spiritual power and mental power to perform 'spiritual skills'. The spiritual power reserved by a fifth-level mortal creature is almost not enough to support its continuous use... But now, there are It's completely different after understanding this 'Battle Map of Jiangshan'."

"If the conditions are right, I am even confident that I can fight several or more than a dozen enemies of the same level!"

Xia Tian's eyes were filled with satisfaction.

"Moreover, after integrating the exotic treasures into the Jiangshan battle map, various different environments will be generated. During the battle, I can even directly include the enemies in the 'battle map' and use these environments to gain advantages, defeat or even kill them." ...You can also use the 'Jiangshan Battle Picture' to carry soldiers with you. When the time comes, one picture will appear, and millions of troops will pour out of it. Who can stop me?"

The universe is in the painting, and the heaven and earth are in the pot.

Such an ability is consistent with the status of a unique "wonderful object of heaven and earth".

Of course, he has only tried to integrate two rare treasures so far. The entire "Picture Scroll World" is only a small desert and a clear spring. It can't hold many people in a hundred meters!

More importantly, even if it is refined into a "wonderful object of destiny", using the "Jiangshan Battle Map" still requires a person's mental energy.

Moreover, the rare treasures, strange objects, and the larger the world space incorporated into the "Jiangshan Battle Map" are, the more items are loaded...the more serious the consumption of mental power will be when using it!

"In other words, I should try my best to choose higher-end ones. Or, it is better to incorporate 'exotic treasures' and 'wonderful objects' with sufficient potential into them, rather than to overload them..."

Xia Tian understands.

"Well, of the strange items I have on hand, I can put two of them in and try them out..."

Because some of the rare objects had been rewarded by him to the leader of the territory, the Soul Taming Bell was also returned to Gu Lao.

Now Xia Tian still has the Crystal Ball God's Eye (gold), the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword (silver), the Water Turning Hundred Acts Picture (silver), the Murloc Crown (silver), the Sun Gold Vase (blue), and the Fallen Moon. Magic bottles (blue), dragon carps (blue), contract rings (blue), and guardian spirit stones (green).

"The Eye of God and the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword have to wait a while... There are too few high-end exotic treasures integrated into the Jiangshan Battle Map, and currently they cannot support the huge consumption of cultivating golden and silver rare objects... Just take the 'Sun Let’s give Jin Ping a try first!”

Xia Tian took the "Sun Gold Vase" in his hand and put it into the "Jiangshan Battle Map" after flipping the scroll and unfolding it.

With a wave of movement like drops of ink on a landscape, the Sun Gold Vase merged into the world of the scroll.

Gua!

It suddenly let out a cry and turned into a golden-red three-legged golden crow, like a small sun suspended in the desert, emitting strong light and heat!

Wow…

In the desert on the ground, the growth rate of the Elaeagnus jujuba tree that was planted during the last test of the "Jiangshan Battle Map" in the summer suddenly accelerated under the sunlight.

There are pale yellow flowers blooming from above, which will soon bear fruit and even mature...

The most important thing is that the Rijin Ping that transformed into the form of the Golden Crow continues to absorb the spiritual power of heaven and earth transformed from the void by the "Jiangshan Battle Map". The golden light emitted not only did not weaken after irradiating Elaeagnus angustifolia, but instead gradually strengthened. !

"It can actually absorb the spiritual power of this world and directly transform it into the 'power of the sun'. Is this kind of operation still possible?"

Xia Tian's face suddenly became happy.

You know, although there are a lot of "Sun Black Stones" in the Black and White Mountains, just like the "Spiritual Stones" will be mined out, the "Sun Black Stone" cannot have no upper limit.

In particular, this kind of ore has special formation conditions and only exists on the surface layer of a dark cave. To obtain the "Sun Spirit Crystal" that can prepare "gold liquid", it takes a lot of luck to strengthen it to "golden" quality. Now that he has the Jiangshan Battle Map, a natal rare item that can directly charge the rare item, Xia Tian can use this treasure without any worries.

"Not only that, since the Sun Gold Vase can be 'activated' by the Jiangshan Battle Map and independently absorb spiritual energy to replenish it... then, what about other rare objects?"

Xia Tian thought about it and took out another strange object in the form of a bottle.

The drow priestess obtained this blue rare item in her hand. Because it was contaminated by the power of the "Spider Goddess", the quality of the "Yuehua Silver Liquid" poured out of the bottle had some flaws, so that it could not be harmonized with the sun. The golden bottle is used together to create the essence of the sun and moon that can make plants "transform".

In the past few days, Xia Tian also tried to buy treasures that can remove pollution through the market.

However, the level of the rare object is still higher than that of golden objects, and the source of the pollution is a real "god". Even if the connection with the original owner has been severed in the eternal land, it is very difficult to remove it... …

"Huh……"

However, when Xia Tian put it into the scroll, he couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Like the "Sun Golden Vase", after entering the scroll, the "Moon God Vase" also shines, but it does not form the "Jade Rabbit" shape corresponding to the Golden Crow in traditional Chinese mythology.

Instead, she is a goddess with a noble temperament, ethereal eyes, spotless robes, and a layer of silver-white hazy moonlight exuding from her body. Her appearance and figure have an exotic style and resemble a human appearance!

The only thing that hinders the view.

Probably this Moonlight Goddess's body is still entangled with some black spider silk, just like the "tortoise shell binding" that some experienced drivers are very familiar with, so that her figure is even more prominent!

"Hiss, this Jade Rabbit... Bah, this goddess, although she carries the 'holy light' and is not a real life... but I have to say that her appearance and temperament are not on the same level as those of mortals."

Xia Tian has seen a lot of beauties.

Pan Jinlian, Qingwen, Wang Yuyan, A'Zhu, Hong Funu...

Because these people were born from illusion, they themselves carry human imagination of "beauty" and are recognized as "beauties" by the will of the earth.

But I have to say that the "Moonlight Goddess" appearing in the picture still makes Xia Tian feel very amazing, especially in terms of temperament, it is indeed difficult for mortals to compete!

"For what reason did those dark elves betray such an excellent goddess? To seek refuge with the Spider Queen who looks completely inhuman, ghost or demon? Could it be that girls are also popular among the gods? "

Xia Tian shook his head, expressing that he could not understand.

"Wait a minute, since the 'Jiangshan Battle Map' shows the 'pollution power' that represents the Spider Queen in the form of a rope... If I help get rid of these 'black threads', will it mean that the moon will be destroyed?" Is the 'pollution' of the divine bottle also eliminated?"

Xia Tian's heart moved.

The power of his mind was immersed in the "Picture Scroll", and he appeared next to the "Moon God" in his own form. He stepped on the three-legged golden crow-shaped "Sun Gold Vase" under his feet. He curiously stretched out his hand towards the opponent's body shrouded in holy light. Touch it!

"That's right... Even though it's the power of the mind, this feeling is completely indistinguishable from the real body..."

The warm and cool touch on his fingers was like the flowing moonlight, making Xia Tian unable to help but take a breath.

And the "Moon God" who was shrouded in holy light, with peerless appearance, and a cold temperament that was not like a human being, remained motionless. She let Xia Tian reach out to remove the "black silk" tied to her tortoise shell, but there was no reaction...

"Then, I'm welcome..."

…

"Commander Zhu, how is the production progress of the 'Meteor Crossbow'?"

About two hours later, Xia Tian walked out of the lord's mansion and came to the 'Military Workshop'.

At this time, Colonel Zhu You led a large number of craftsmen to hammer around an instrument that was almost four to five meters wide and looked more like a "ballista" than a crossbow. There are silver "spiritual patterns" carved on its body that look like ancient talismans.

The "crossbow arrows" placed on the ground are made of pure metal. Each one is like a short spear, and there are also spiritual patterns engraved on it. They are sharp and murderous.

"Meteor Crossbow" is the name Zhuge Liang gave to this "spiritual weapon".

According to him, the power of that blueprint can be enhanced with the rules of heaven and earth.

In the future, more powerful crossbows will surely appear.

Therefore, it is not convenient to use the name "Zhuge Liannu" directly!

But Xia Tian actually understands in his heart that this person is among the "White Emperor City Tuogu". Faced with Liu Bei's words "If the heir can assist, he can assist; if he is not talented, you can take it yourself." He responded, "I dare to do my best." , a super hero who is loyal to the festival of chastity and then dies."

The reason why the name "Zhuge Liannu" was changed was to avoid certain "hidden dangers"...

"Sir, it's almost 90% complete! Mr. Zhuge is really a god. One shot with this 'big killer' should be enough to kill the 'spiritual armor' formed by the mountain ghosts covering their bodies with spiritual power." …”

Zhu Youxiao's face looked a little tired, but his expression was very exciting.

Creatures that have reached the fifth level of mortal transformation or above can let their spiritual power overflow their bodies and form a set of "invisible armor" on their bodies.

Including Xia Tian himself, he can also form a defense with the spiritual power of the "Human Emperor Dragon Control Sutra", coupled with the powerful physique after five transformations, even if he is hit directly by a hundred kilograms of boulders thrown by the territory's "Sling Stone Cart", he can't cause any damage. Too much damage!

However, offense and defense are always relative.

Unlocking the rules of heaven and earth not only increases the upper limit of living beings, but also increases the upper limit of weapons that can be created. Spiritual weapons are existences that are superior to ordinary mortal weapons just like the "fifth level of mortal transformation"!

"After Mr. Zhuge handed me the blueprints and preparation methods of the 'Meteor Crossbow' last night, I gathered the craftsmen of the territory to make it... However, this 'spiritual weapon' level weapon is indeed much more demanding than ordinary city defense weapons. , every part needs to be carefully polished and processed... Under normal circumstances, just processing materials takes a lot of time..."

Of course, this most time-consuming step has been directly skipped by Xia Tian through the "Midas Turning Stone into Gold".

In addition, the most demanding "spiritual patterns" can be copied directly through "drawings", and the territory has a large number of craftsmen, who can almost complete the craft in just one day!

"I can feel that... once I complete this 'spiritual weapon', I will be able to officially break through to the master level!"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes were even brighter as he held his own rare item "Artisan's Carving Knife" in his hand.

A master carpenter is also equivalent to "gold" in a sense.

It means completely "mastering" a certain field, which is much more difficult than cultivating a single skill or technique to become a master.

Zhu Youxiao was originally a top "master-level" craftsman. After completing the "Secret Realm Challenge", he gained a master-level inheritance understanding. He also passed the "baptism of the stars" yesterday. It is reasonable to make a breakthrough in manufacturing now. Among!

"Unfortunately, we can only produce it in small quantities for the time being."

Xia Tian looked at the "big killer weapon" in front of him. While he was full of expectations for its power, he also felt a little regretful.

The materials of the "Meteor Star Crossbow" are mainly spiritual wood and spiritual gold, but not any wood can be used. At least the softer "Han Mei" wood cannot meet the requirements, and only peach wood with a texture that is more than a hundred years old can meet the requirements. .

Among the several metamorphosis-level metals that the territory currently possesses, the characteristic of black gold is that it 'absorbs energy'. It is the top material for making defensive equipment such as armor and shields, but the effect of making it into weapons is not as good.

Another metal material called "Hidden Gold" can be invisible, but its texture is brittle, and "spiritual patterns" cannot even be carved on it...

But fortunately there is a "square market" in the summer.

Especially yesterday when the shield disappeared and high-level aliens merged into the Eternal Land, the lords were all in danger. He only sold twenty copies of the "golden honey" of the mortal level, and he was able to trade enough to build five Stars. Lian Nu's spiritual gold ore!

However, due to the limitation that every transaction must consume "luck", this approach is obviously unsustainable.

"You still have to rely on 'offline' transactions to obtain resources... It's been more than a day, haven't there been people from other human territories yet?"

Just as he thought before, because of the "falling meteor" last night, it was suspected that treasure fell from the sky.

Today, there were sightings of foreign races around the territory and near the Black and White Mountains more than once.

However, the heads of the two "mountain ghosts" hanging on the city wall clearly made the foreigners fearful.

In addition, Zhao Yun and Gao Shun had already broken through the "fifth level of metamorphosis" after the baptism. They stood on the city wall with weapons in their hands, emitting fluctuations in their own spiritual power. Even the spies sent by some high-level aliens left decisively. !

After all, aliens are not brainless.

Looking at the situation of the human race, I guessed that the "treasure from heaven" has probably been obtained by the human race.

Even in their eyes, the human race is weak.

But such a well-defended human territory, even with five transformed creatures stationed there, is not something that only one or two fifth-level aliens can capture.

Didn’t you see that the heads of the two mountain ghosts were already hanging on the bluestone city wall?

Unless they bring their own large troops to attack.

However, the high-level aliens have just arrived in the "Eternal Land" and are now eager to occupy the territory and resources near their own secret realm. It is impossible to cross hundreds of miles to start a war with an extremely powerful human territory!

Even if they win, it doesn't mean much. Not all advanced races feed on humans.

The mountain ghost clan can only be said to be a special case!

"So, it seems very dangerous... but in fact, for the lord, the crisis has not yet arrived on a large scale."

"In fact, if we can unite together during this period of time, even high-level aliens don't need to worry at all!"

Xia Tian thought.

"Bah!"

Suddenly, a loud hawk's cry rang out in the sky, spreading throughout the territory.

"No, is it the mountain ghost attacking?"

After hearing the cry of the eagle.

The busy craftsmen in the "Military Workshop" raised their heads with a nervous expression.

Because, these two summer days, the jade-clawed eagle has been keeping watch in the sky, and will call the police if something goes wrong.

And now that the "big killer weapon" has not been completed, if the mountain ghost clan attacks, it will not be of much use!

"Don't be nervous, it's not the enemy...it was the jade-clawed eagle that discovered the traces of humans!"

Xia Tian's expression changed.

Because of the contractual relationship with the "Jade-clawed Eagle", the two were able to "connect minds" to a certain extent, and traces of humans were found in his field of vision, heading towards the "Secret Realm of the Imperial Tomb".

"Are they the refugees whose stronghold was destroyed by the high-level aliens, or the explorers of other territories?"

Xia Tian's heart suddenly started to look forward to it.

Of course, refugees are good and can be directly absorbed into the territory. Explorers from other territories are even more valuable.

According to observations these days, the locations arranged by the will of the earth for human territories are specially selected. There are usually resources such as exotic treasures and alien species around the territories. At the current stage, those who have the ability to send personnel to explore "weird phenomena" Territory is likely to be a good trading partner!

"Let Yunjiao Guard go and 'greet' you..."

Due to the increase in the population of the territory, there is a shortage of meat. These days, the "Cloud Dragon Guard" has once again assumed the responsibility of "hunting". Relying on the powerful mobility of the black and white pheasants, it can even hunt in areas dozens of miles around the territory. For Many places are already very familiar.

Especially last night, there was still a part of the star power reserved in the "Star Palace" after "baptizing" the high-level officials of the territory. Xia Tian also baptized the "Yun Jiao Guards".

Now, both the soldiers and the mounts have reached the second level of mortal transformation. Their comprehensive combat power is comparable to that of the third level of mortal transformation. It is more than enough to "welcome guests"!
