Changbai Mountain.
After ten days of spiritual qi turbulence ended, Jiang Che and Nangong Luo also withdrew the protection over Peach Grove Valley.
With this change in terrain, the entire location of Peach Grove Valley is now situated in the deepest part of this vast mountain range.
This place is also where the spiritual qi of Changbai Mountain is most concentrated.
After experiencing ten days of spiritual qi infusion, the concentration of Heaven and Earth spiritual qi has increased at least ten times compared to before the mutation.
And under the influence of the Bodhi Holy Tree, the Heaven and Earth spiritual qi of Changbai Mountain, which was already several times denser than the outside world, is now overwhelmingly rich.
The thin spiritual fog that originally drifted through the forests of Changbai Mountain has now become extremely thick, permeating the entire mountain.
At the same time, wisps of spiritual fog rise from the mountains, continuing above the forest, forming into clouds of spiritual cloud, which, with a gust of wind, transforms into a drizzling spiritual rain that falls.
And within the range of Peach Grove Valley, the spiritual qi continues to transform into spiritual clouds, causing the spiritual clouds above Peach Grove Valley to accumulate constantly, like a massive cloud cover overhead.
In such a favorable cultivation environment, Jiang Che felt that even if a pig were placed here, it would eventually turn into a powerful beast.
After removing the protection, Jiang Che walked out of the valley and let out a long howl to the sky, his voice sweeping across the area, directly summoning his followers.
However, compared to before, this time Lin Chuan waited for a whole half an hour before all six of the followers arrived together.
There was no helping it; the area of Changbai Mountain had expanded a hundredfold, and the nests of Tiger Vanguard and others were presumably moved to distant locations. The time it took them to come over was at least seven or eight times longer than before.
This was the first summoning by the king after the end of the mutation, so Tiger Vanguard and the others dared not slack off, sitting upright and waiting quietly for the king's instructions.
Jiang Che glanced around, carefully assessing his six followers. They all looked pretty good, each being just a step away from reaching the third stage, likely to make a breakthrough soon.
"Today, I have called you here because I want to know how each of you has developed through these many days of cultivation. Also, what are the losses each of you incurred during this mutation?"
Jiang Che looked at the group of beasts, his tone calm and commanding respect without anger.
"Let's start with Tiger Vanguard!"
Looking at the eager Tiger Vanguard standing at the front, Jiang Che nodded and said.
"Yes, my King! Thanks to your kindness, the demon soldiers have been able to cultivate in Changbai Mountain.
Currently, the number of advanced demon soldiers I command has reached hundreds, and during this period, fifty-two demon soldiers successfully advanced!
Although the mutation happened suddenly, thanks to your reminder, I dared not be careless. I gathered the demon soldiers outside my cave for strict management, not allowing them to move freely. Thus, none of my demon soldiers were harmed!"
Tiger Vanguard chuckled, complimenting Jiang Che with pride.
After speaking, Tiger Vanguard glanced at Xiong Da and Xiong Er with a look full of pride.
"Hmm, Tiger Vanguard, you've done well. Keep it up, and there will definitely be a place for you among the demon generals of Changbai Mountain in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che nodded with satisfaction, painting a promising picture.
"Thank you, my King. I will continue to work hard to repay your kindness!"
Tiger Vanguard exclaimed in surprise and excitement.
"Alright, do well in the future. Next, Xiong Da and Xiong Er."
Jiang Che waved his hand and looked at Xiong Da and Xiong Er, who were full of apprehension.
After Tiger Vanguard stepped aside, Xiong Da and Xiong Er walked up hesitantly.
"Speak!"
Seeing their downcast looks, Jiang Che knew there might be a problem.
The two were pushing each other to speak, until finally, Xiong Da cautiously spoke up, "Report to my King, among the demon soldiers we command, more than twenty broke through to advanced demon soldiers... Also, during this mutation, we lost... lost over thirty demon soldiers!"
"They were crushed to death by giant rocks that rolled down from the mountain!"
Feeling the sudden oppressive gaze of the King, Xiong Da's heart tightened, and he hurried to explain.
I, Xiong Da, am truly unlucky. Who would have known a large mountain would appear in their Hazelnut Grove as Changbai Mountain expanded?
Without warning during a tremor, a boulder the size of a small mountain rolled down and instantly crushed over thirty demon soldiers.
"Accidents happen, this King won't blame you."
Jiang Che initially thought the losses were severe but was relieved to know it was only a few dozen.
Hearing this, Xiong Da and Xiong Er felt delighted, but before they could rejoice much, Jiang Che turned the conversation, with a slightly harsh tone, "But why is the number of advanced demon soldiers under your command only half of Tiger Vanguard's?
Could it be that you kept all the spiritual objects for yourselves instead of distributing them to your subordinates?"
"My King, no, that's not it! How would we dare? It's just that the territory of the two of us bears similarity with Tiger Vanguard, and the output of spiritual objects is about the same.
But we have twice as many demon soldiers as Tiger Vanguard. When the spiritual objects are divided, the effects naturally are not as good as Tiger Vanguard's!"
Xiong Da quickly explained.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Che understood and acknowledged the truth of the matter, and stopped faulting Xiong Da and Xiong Er, proceeding to inquire other subordinates.
After a round of questioning, Jiang Che was aware that, thanks to his reminder, the losses of Changbai Mountain's demon soldiers were not significant, and the number of advanced demon soldiers had approached nearly five hundred.
"You all have done well, and this King is very pleased! You all have sensed the spiritual qi concentration of Changbai Mountain due to the spiritual qi turbulence. Make sure to cultivate diligently and aim for a breakthrough to the third stage as soon as possible, understood?"
Jiang Che praised them and then sternly gave orders.
"Yes, my King!"
The six beasts lowered their heads in obedience.
Subsequently, Jiang Che dismissed his six followers and turned to return to Peach Grove Valley.
In the valley.
Nangong Luo finished her cultivation and slowly stepped out of the Cyan Stone Pool.
Feeling her mid-fourth stage cultivation, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Even with the Bodhi Holy Tree and a continuous supply of spiritual objects... the cultivation progress is still too slow! After the second wave of spiritual qi turbulence, those ancient beings should gradually revive."
At this moment, Jiang Che happened to walk out from the Peach Grove and overheard his third sister's thoughts, and suddenly began to look forward.
Although he was only at the sixth stage, it didn't hinder his curiosity about the abilities of those ancient immortal gods, wondering if they were as mighty as imagined.
"Oh right, there was also the Nine-tailed Celestial Fox that third sister mentioned before. It would be an excellent binding target, and it should be reviving soon!"
Jiang Che's eyes gleamed, suddenly having an idea.
