A few dozen steps further on, the watery atmosphere becomes heavier and heavier, as if we were at the sea.
Naturally, the northern land is not a seashore, but the amount of water gathered here is far beyond the amount that a lake should have.
“After we have been diverting water for some time, all the underground rivers in the extreme north have now been diverted to this place. In addition, we have been using the “Zhou Shui Shui Force”, which has been handed down by you, Daoist Master, to collect the moisture in the air of the northern land without stopping, and by now the northern gra*slands have been in a severe drought for several days, and even the gra*s has begun to wither.”
Gu Chen said as he walked.
What the northern land lacked most was moisture. The gra*slanders were nomadic people who lived by grazing. If they lost their pasture, they would be driven to extinction.
Naturally, the higher-ups were not afraid of this, nor were the highly skilled martial artists. But the people of the gra*slands below will not be able to resist this man-made scourge.
The effect is not yet obvious, but in another month or so, it will not be Gaju leading his army to invade Northern Zhou on his own initiative, but he will have to do so. If the water was not seized, at least half of the tribes on the gra*slands would be wiped out.
“How are the formations, and that, going again?” Qing Yu asked.
“This, it is better if you take a look at it yourself.” Gu Chen said with a light smile.
“It is so.” Qing Yu nodded his head.
A few steps forward, a large pool appeared in front of him.
It covered an area of more than 15,000 square feet, was two metres deep, and was in a rectangular shape. In this pool, countless lifelike people were listed in a square formation.
I say lifelike because it is impossible for a living person to stand still in the water without breathing. The reason for not saying dead is that these people have been in the water for at least several months, but their bodies have not swollen in the slightest.
They still looked the same as they did when they were alive, but there was no trace of life left in them, and they all looked like water ghosts.
“Lord Liu, a familiar old friend!” Qing Yu exclaimed with a soft smile.
This Lord Liu Pleiades, Lord Liu, was the mastermind who had previously colluded with Yi Qianshan in an attempt to plot a rebellion. After Qing Yu had used the Tongtian Giant Statue to kill all the martial artists who had plotted against him, this Lord Liu was sent to the Flying Cloud Pa*s by Feng Jiuyu.
At that time, the technology was not yet pure, but it was unexpected that Liu Pleiades had survived the experiment and become qualified.
“Daoist Master, the formation of water souls is ready, these 50,000 water corpses are one of our achievements, we are only waiting for you to officially activate it.” Gu Chen looked at the countless water corpses as if they were nothing, and his face was ancient and unruffled as he said.
In the Ocean World, the Eight Sects of the Western City, the Water Sect, which inherited the Zhouliu Six Void Techniques, had researched a forbidden technique that defied humanity – the “Water Soul Formation”.
The water corpses were made of human material, just like the legendary zombies. These water corpses have liquid blood in them and can infect others through the liquid, which is a martial arts version of Resident Evil.
One of the reasons why Qing Yu had gathered Gu Chen and the others to study this “Water Soul Formation” at the Flying Cloud Pa*s for a long time was that it was a weapon of war. This formation is a weapon of war, and for ordinary soldiers and martial artists, it is a deadly thing that can kill them if they touch it.
Qing Yu had seen how powerful the demon envoys of the Temple of Corpse Yin in the Heavenly Demon Palace were, controlling countless walking corpses and zombies, and they could form an army by themselves. Although they were not worth mentioning to the masters, they were the greatest killing weapon in warfare.
This ‘Water Soul Formation’ is one of the preparations made for the corpse refining of the Corpse Yin Temple.
”The exact battle power still needs to be tested, and I’m going to reproduce the “Water Soul Formation” for more than just this ——” Qing Yu’s eyes were slightly closed as he listened to the prompt in his ears.
“Heartless, the host has researched the ‘Water Soul’s Formation’ and wrecked countless lives, the system gives you a nod and rewards you with 25,000 villain points.” The system’s words of reward were as poisonous as ever.
”Two water corpses for one villain point? Not bad.” Qing Yu nodded in his heart.
Although the source of these water corpses was either the people of the deadly sin or the people of the gra*sland. Concocting them, in reality, was no different in essence from plundering gra*slanders in the past to brainwash them into killing weapons.
But the ruthless way of acting, and the appearance of the ‘Formation of Water Souls’, had brought Qing Yu a huge amount of villain points. The amount is even greater than that of the previous dynastic usurpation.
After all, that usurpation was in a sense a peaceful transition, not a transition to the sword. Now, on the other hand, there is no telling how many lives have been lost in the preliminary experiments alone, not to mention these 50,000 water corpses.
Of course, it was still not enough to rely on the “Water Spirit Formation” to repel the enemy.
As I have said before, water corpses are a great weapon for ordinary soldiers and martial artists, but for experts, they are useless.
To defeat Gaju’s army of 150,000, relying on the ‘Water Soul Formation’ was not enough.
The huge amount of water collected would not be consumed by a single ‘Formation of Water Souls’ either.
“Subterranean Dragon, how are you preparing again?” Qing Yu asked.
“It has been ready for a long time,” Gu Chen’s face, which had always been unruffled, appeared visibly flushed, and his eyes were filled with excitement, “Master Dao has learned from the heavens, and is truly beyond the reach of mere mortals like me. The huge statue of the Divine Capital Palace can display boundless power with the help of the dragon veins, but that is more the work of the dragon veins.
I didn’t expect you to have such a strange idea, you are really ——”
Gu Chen turned red and said, “Unbelievable, unbelievable ——”
To him, this “Water Soul Formation” was just a small product that combined corpse refining and Zhou Shui Shui Power, and the Daoist Sect had no shortage of corpse refining Daoists in the past.
The completion of the “Water Soul Formation” did not give Gu Chen any sense of achievement. Instead, it was the submerged dragon, which was as powerful as a Tong Shen strike, that was more shocking.
It was a feat of wisdom, a tribute to the wisdom of man, to have achieved such power with just ordinary water.
Anyway, after seeing the Submerged Dragon, Gu Dust became a complete fan of Qing Yu’s brain.
After a short while, Gu Chen calmed down and said, “The Submerged Dragon needs both cold and warm currents, and the Daoists who practise the Zhouliu Fire Power are already ready for this, but reconciling the two currents is beyond our ability, and we need you to do it yourself, Daoist Master.”
If it were on the sea, the submerged dragon would not need to make such an effort, and once it opened the place where the cold and warm currents gathered, an ordinary person could exert a power that could destroy the sky and the earth.
But here inland, it is not possible. Not only is the amount of water insufficient, but it requires a lot of manpower to cultivate the “Zhou Liu Shui Power” to find underground rivers to divert the water flow and collect the water qi, the cold and warm currents also have to be created artificially.
Fortunately, in this world, there is an abundance of heaven and earth energy, and there are also magical spell formations, otherwise it would be a dream to create submerged dragons in the interior.
The fact that the submerged dragon could be completed in less than a year’s time was due to the convenience of the higher world. If it were in the Cang Hai World, it wouldn’t even be completed in ten years.
“Well then, let’s debug it a little and start the Submerged Dragon first.” Qing Yu said.
