Fish swimming around the world

Jiang Fan nodded: "Yes... I will remember the teachings of my great grandfather..."

The great elder patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are really his successor, no one can teach you. Instead, you should educate the people of this world. They didn't say anything. I know they all want to say it, but they don't know how to say it. Because they are also confused. Child, you must remember that you don't have to keep asking where the road is. The road is under your feet. Once you have walked it, you will know it clearly, and they will also see it clearly."

Jiang Fan's heart gradually became open and his thoughts became clearer.

The elder seemed very satisfied. "Child, remember one more thing. The Qi Yuan Dan cannot be used anymore."

Jiang Fan was stunned: "Why?"

The Great Elder smiled and said, "You already know that it is a formation. It can only be used nine times. When you use it for the ninth time, the nine hundred years of Yuan Qi will return to one, and the Xiantian Yi Qi formation will be fully activated. You will face a life-and-death crisis..."

Listening to the Great Elder's narration, Jiang Fan's face became somewhat solemn. The Xiantian Yiqi Formation forcibly integrated the nine hundred years of cultivation power of the Nine Sons and locked Jiang Fan's five internal organs and four poles. Since no one could possess cultivation power of more than nine hundred years, it was an unsolvable formation.

For Jiang Fan, the best thing is to practice slowly, absorb and refine these Yuan Qi for his own use, which is actually a great tonic.

Jiang Fan calculated that he had already used it four times and could not use it for the ninth time, which meant he only had four chances.

And these four times, the grandfather still did not recommend using it. He said very clearly that the Nine-Child Yuan Qi is ultimately an external Qi, which can be refined, but before it is completed, it is difficult to be compatible. Now that Jiang Fan has begun to practice, there is a conflict between his own Yuan Qi and the external Yuan Qi. As it deepens, the conflict will become more and more intense. If it is not handled properly, the Yuan Qi will collapse. The Qi Yuan Dan itself is the initiator of the formation, and can only trigger the Nine-Child Yuan Qi. Therefore, the stronger the cultivation, the more severe the conflict.

In fact, when he used the Qi Yuan Dan, it also failed to work. At that time, it was because of the disharmony between the Nine-Child Qi and the physical body, but now the disharmony has turned into a Qi conflict, and the consequences are more serious. Not only that, because Jiang Fan's practice has deepened, the Nine-Child Qi has also been replenished. The part he used can be gradually restored with practice, and the formation will eventually be perfect. This is a potential super risk.

The Great Elder asked him to disperse the Nine Sons Yuan Qi again, but Jiang Fan was reluctant to do so. He still had something important to do and he really needed it. There was no other way, so the Great Elder had to warn him to control the degree of the explosion. It was relatively safe to have it equal to twice his own cultivation level. Any higher would cause accidents at any time. He was told to remember this.

After persuasion failed, the Great Elder looked at the Heavenly Sword behind him.

"Let me tell you one more thing. Grandfather really believes in you, because the Heavenly Sword and Heavenly Clothes were once the most precious treasures used by Emperor Hao in the lower world. You have obtained them all. Although you cannot control them yet, it has already explained a very important issue. You at least have part of Emperor Hao's inheritance, and Haotian Renhuang is worthy of every mortal's undoubted trust."

Jiang Fan was surprised. He had just learned this news from the Golden Summit probability event not long ago. How did the Great Elder know about it?

The Great Elder didn't know why he was surprised and thought it was caused by the news itself.

"Don't be surprised. This news was passed down from generation to generation by my ancestors, the only great elder who survived the first holy war. Obviously, he should have heard it from the Queen Mother. Tianjian, you already know that this piece of clothing is called Tianyi. It is the skin of the previous generation of Tianhu combined with phoenix feathers and dragon scales. It was forged by the sun and moon furnace using the secret techniques of the heavens and the formations of the human world. It is Di Hao's armor."

"Sun and Moon Bronze Cauldron..." Jiang Fan already knew when he entered Longmen again that the Sun and Moon Baking Furnace was actually the Sun and Moon Cauldron, the first of the Nine Cauldrons. He just didn't expect that this thing could also make elixirs. Moreover, it was the second best alchemy furnace in history, second only to the Heaven and Earth Baking Furnace.

The Great Elder nodded and said, "Yes, the Nine Cauldrons have a big secret. You must find out the secret of the ancient black gold book."

Jiang Fan nodded: "If I am really the descendant of Emperor Hao, I should be able to operate them. I will find out as soon as possible. Also, why don't you ask me what is recorded in the platinum ancient book?"

The elder's eyes were clear: "No matter what it is, since you didn't say it, it's not the time to talk about it. Well, child, the secrets of the ages cannot be discussed in one day, but your time is very tight. I have told Chiya everything I can think of about Kunlun, big and small. Ask her if you have anything. Go back quickly, time is running out——"

Jiang Fan took a deep breath and bowed earnestly: "Grandpa, I'm leaving..."

The great elder helped him up with both hands, smiling kindly and with deep eyes: "Child, you have been trying to find out who you are, but let me repeat myself, who you are is never something you find out, but something you do. Life has a place and a starting point, but the process and the end point are what shape who you are in the end."

His words were similar to those of the Empress, but more profound and lasting. Jiang Fan's heart was in turmoil, but he felt as if he had found a beacon.

Finally, the great elder watched him go out, "No matter who you are, I believe that you are a good child. No matter how the future changes... even if the world turns upside down, I will always remember the little monkey named Jiang Fan..."

…

After walking out of the Kunlun Formation and looking back at the gradually disappearing giant peak, Jiang Fan felt unprecedented relief for the first time.

Although their identities have not been confirmed, and although there are still many secrets that remain unsolved, such as what exactly is restraining the Queen Mother of the West and the God of Rebellion, why the Emperor of Heaven is in a deep sleep, to what extent the energy development of the Celestial Beings has reached, etc., the three parties have finally been open and honest, and he has also received their support behind the scenes, and has finally stepped onto a new level.

By the way, it feels good to have a strong backer behind you.

Especially when I touch the Qi Yuan Dan in my arms and look at Sister Chi Yazi beside me, I feel extremely safe.

But before he could show off, Chi Yazi grabbed his hair and ran into the air: "Hurry, hurry, the cosmetics have been used up a long time ago, it's so bitter——"

"Ah? It hurts, it hurts--" Young Master Jiang grimaced, secretly crying out in pain, he had used the wrong person, Nineth Grandpa was so good...

Sun Daotong was so amused that he shook his head, smiled, and followed in mid-air.

The original plan was to announce the decree first and then leave with Sun Daotong, but Chi Yazi was anxious and insisted on going to the mortal residence first. Jiang Fan had no choice but to take her there to meet her needs.

But when he arrived at Fanrenju, he received news that he had to put it on hold for the time being because Cao Zijian launched a counterattack on Wendeng City.

He adopted a set of strategies that were not simple but effective, which really impressed Jiang Fan.

Cao Zijian divided his troops into three groups. First, on the water. The northern wall of Wendeng City was close to Canglan. Now that Wei State had blocked the Yangtze River, Cao Zijian relied on the navy to use bows and arrows and catapults to carry out uninterrupted long-range attacks from the water, causing great trouble to the Yuzhou Army.

Second, the frontal attack. The Fire Camp was deployed to the city, ready to attack at any time, to contain the main force of the Yuzhou army.

Third, side attack. Take advantage of the fast horses and light cavalry of the Fengzi Camp, detour from the south of Wendeng, and make a gesture of attacking Yuzhou's homeland. If he succeeds, he can not only deter Yuzhou, but also outflank it from behind and turn the Yuzhou army into an isolated force.

It must be said that this was a very effective method. Although Cao Zijian's Fire Camp had not launched a full-scale attack, its containment power was very strong. This made it difficult for the Yuzhou Army to split its troops. The harassment and detours from the north and south by water and drought posed a great threat to the garrison in Wendeng.

However, Wu Qu and Sun Lu were such great men that they clearly understood that Cao Zijian was worried that the Lishan troops would not dare to confront them head-on. Under the requirement of defense as the main strategy, they adopted the strategy of not moving unless the enemy moved. They confronted the enemy head-on with 100,000 Lishan troops, and in the south, they drew 50,000 troops from the 12 cities of Yuzhou, relying on the strange but now very effective super-long wall of Yuzhou Lingshe City for defense.

The only problem now is the navy on the river, and Sun Lu’s plan is to mobilize the Qin navy. As long as they can force the enemy back, Wendeng will be able to rest easy.

Daqin had a navy, and to be honest, Jiang Fan was very surprised. Daqin's navy was very powerful at first, a bit similar to his own world. Later, with the blessing of Lishan warships and weapons, it was even more powerful. In the navy of this world, it was basically invincible.

To mobilize the Qin navy, the regent needs to sign the order. This is why it is urgent to meet Jiang Fan.

But after listening to the report, Jiang Fan rejected this idea.

There is no other reason. The Qin Navy is a surprising force. It is a terrifying force that can march straight from Huangsha Canglan and even Longjiang in the future. Under the current strategic guiding ideology of hiding strength to lure the opponent, Jiang Fan does not want to use it easily.
