Chapter 298 The Beginning of Destruction
How can a mere small cherry clan be worthy of the famous black cherry tree.
To put it bluntly, naming the Sakura clan after the word "Sakura" from the Black Sakura tree is simply an insult to the Black Sakura tree. The Sakura clan really doesn't deserve it, or rather, the Choushen clan doesn't deserve it.
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Sakura Clan was not called the Sakura Clan. They changed their name to the Sakura Clan after they obtained the Black Sakura Tree. It was simply shameless of them to borrow the name and status of the Black Sakura Tree.
Lu Changjing got this information from the memories of some old monsters of the Stinky Clan.
The Chou Clan changed its name to the Sakura Clan after it obtained the Black Sakura Tree, because in the eyes of the top royal family members of the Sakura Clan who knew about this, this would be an opportunity for the Sakura Clan to rise.
However, in the following tens of thousands of years, although the Sakura Clan developed a lot and even reached the level of a dynasty at one point, it has never produced a god or demon, and it still has a long way to go before it can rise.
The Xuanying tree blooms once every hundred years. Given the size of this Xuanying tree, it can produce dozens of Xuanying flowers each time. The Xuanying flowers can help improve one's spiritual cultivation, and the effect is quite good.
Although it is not a rare treasure, it is far superior to top-level elixirs and medicines, and is comparable to mysterious-level elixirs.
However, for tens of thousands of years, no one from the Chou Clan has been able to withstand the medicinal power of the Black Cherry Blossom. Even if the Black Cherry Blossom was crushed, or just a few pieces were taken, the warriors of the Chou Clan would not be able to withstand it.
Even after the petals were crushed to get the juice, and then the juice was diluted a thousand times, the warriors of the Stinky Clan were still unable to withstand it. This shows the amazing medicinal power contained in a black cherry blossom.
Lu Changjing sensed it carefully and found that the medicinal power contained in the black cherry blossoms was wrapped with a part of the pure power of heaven and earth. If one did not have the cultivation level above that of a god or demon who could draw on and utilize the power of heaven and earth, it would be impossible to take it.
No wonder after so many years, no one from the Chou Clan has been able to use the Black Sakura to practice.
I don't know if he can take a black cherry blossom with his physique, endurance, and ability to draw on the power of heaven and earth.
They can only sell a black cherry blossom occasionally in exchange for other resources and treasures. Even so, the Stinky Clan has to be extremely cautious, as they don't know when a transaction will be made, for fear of attracting unpredictable dangers.
Many times they would even sell the Black Cherry Blossoms at a low price in exchange for things that are far less valuable than the Black Cherry Blossoms. Without sufficient strength, the Chou Clan couldn't even sell the Black Cherry Blossoms normally.
If such a good thing is placed in the hands of the Stinky Clan, it is no different from a pearl covered in dust, which is simply a waste of resources.
Fortunately, because of this, and the fact that the Chou Clan did not dare to sell the Black Cherry Blossoms at will, over the years, the Sakura Clan had accumulated more than a thousand Black Cherry Blossoms, all of which were happily collected by Lu Changjing into the Nine Dragon Ring.
If he could consume so many black cherry blossoms, I wonder to what level his spiritual cultivation could be raised.
But before that, he had to take some time to test whether he could take the Black Sakura.
According to his testing and calculations, the medicinal power of a black cherry blossom has probably reached the level of high-level black elixir and black medicine, and it is not the high-level black elixir used for daily practice. The medicinal power contained in such black elixir is much greater than that of such black elixir.
Lu Changjing is currently only a high-level god and demon. Although he can easily take and digest top-level elixirs and medicines, he has not tried to take low-level mysterious elixirs and medicines. Now he is a little nervous about suddenly having to take the mysterious cherry blossoms that are comparable to high-level mysterious elixirs and medicines.
Even if you crush it and take just a little bit of the fragments, it is still unknown whether it can be digested.
Moreover, the crushed Xuan Yinghua is no longer complete. If it is not taken within a certain period of time, the medicinal power will soon be lost, and a Xuan Yinghua of amazing value will be wasted.
Lu Changjing planned to look up some information on this matter before deciding whether to take it. He also shouldn't be too blindly arrogant in case something goes wrong.
After all, the Black Sakura is a treasure for improving spiritual cultivation, and the medicinal power is directed to the sea of soul. Once something goes wrong, it will directly harm the sea of soul and even cause irreversible damage.
In any case, even if he cannot take the Xuan Yinghua now, he can save it for later. When he enters the realm of Xuan Zun, he will definitely need related Xuan Dan and Xuan Yao to improve his cultivation level.
At that time, the Xuan Yinghua will be of great use. Moreover, Lu Changjing has not obtained a Xuan Dan or Xuan Yao so far, which shows how rare this treasure is.
Although Xuan Yinghua is not a Xuan Dan, its effect is similar to that of Xuan Dan. It can be regarded as the first Xuan medicine that Lu Changjing has obtained.
After happily collecting more than a thousand black cherry blossoms, Lu Changjing considered it for a while and decided not to move the black cherry tree because he didn't know how to transplant it.
Ever since the royal family of the Chou Clan discovered the Black Cherry Tree, they have not dared to touch it at all. Instead, they have arranged and upgraded various spirit gathering formations on it to help it grow and reproduce better.
And slowly, with this Xuanying tree as the center, Sakura Capital was built and Akigu Island was developed. So everything here exists for the Xuanying tree. Even the entire Chou clan slowly developed into a dynasty because of the Xuanying tree.
The Chou Clan didn't know how to transplant the Xuanying tree, and there were no relevant records, so Lu Changjing didn't dare to move it rashly for the time being and could only leave it there for the time being.
The black cherry blossoms above will bloom in a few decades, and by then another batch of black cherry blossoms can be obtained. Naturally, Lu Changjing will not let go of these black cherry blossoms.
After some consideration, Lu Changjing arranged for the ghost of impermanence and the treasure-hunting dragon rat to stay here and continue to guard the black cherry tree to prevent it from being stolen.
With two gods and demons guarding us, nothing should go wrong.
In the past, the Chou Clan didn’t even have gods and demons, yet they still managed to guard the Xuanying Tree for tens of thousands of years. Now that he has sent two gods and demons, he doesn’t believe that he can’t defend this place.
If Cao Wenzhen and Ning Tianbao didn't need to handle some things for him, Lu Changjing would have sent these two as well to guard the Xuanying Tree together.
A high-level Xuan tree cannot be overvalued. Its value is much higher than that of the Dragon Blood Tree.
Although the flowering period is a bit long, if you really need other resources and treasures later, you can exchange them.
As a high-level Xuan tree that can determine the rise and fall of a family and power, it can definitely be exchanged for valuable goodies.
The Stinky Clan was really nice to him. Just when they were about to be exterminated, they still gave him a big thing.
A high-level Xuan tree. I don’t know if the three great divine dynasties have such a good thing, but the Stinky Clan has it, which is really amazing.
It was really right to destroy the Sakura Clan this time, otherwise how could we have obtained so many good things, the Soul-Sensing Divine Liquid, Soul-Protecting Fruit, Dragon Blood Fruit, Dragon Blood Tree, Eight Illuminating Realms... and even the current Black Sakura Tree.
The Stinky Clan is so fat that it is unbelievable. Lu Changjing has also plundered many dynasties and imperial dynasties, such as the Mountain Barbarians, the Blood Barbarians, the Black Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, the Universal Dynasty... but none of them can catch up with the Sakura Clan.
He really underestimated the Sakura Clan in the past. In fact, he should have captured the Sakura Clan's emperor earlier, and perhaps he could have obtained the Black Sakura Tree earlier.
In order to express his gratitude to the Ying Clan, Lu Changjing issued an imperial decree, asking the Pinghai Army to slaughter all the high-ranking members of the Ying Clan. As for the natives of the Chou Clan who had not harmed the Daning Dynasty, they were sold to the surrounding countries as soon as possible. Of course, some of them still needed to be left to Daning. Today, Daning has more and more mines that need to be mined, and more and more roads that need to be built.
All of these require a large amount of manpower, and the natives of the Stinky Tribe are just right for the job. There is no need to worry about casualties, and they can be used to death.
Especially in the mines, the death and injury rate is too high, which is just right for the natives of the Stinky Tribe.
To be honest, with the strength of the Ping Navy, they could have defeated the Chou Tribe long ago. However, because the Chou Tribe has too many people, the Ping Navy has been busy capturing the Chou Tribe natives for sale most of the time in recent years.
In addition, the demand for the natives of the Stinky Tribe from surrounding countries was increasing, which caused the Pinghai Navy to be reduced to capturers and they didn't even have the time to conquer the Stinky Tribe.
After all, His Majesty the Emperor is in urgent need of various resources and treasures. He encourages the sale of the natives of the Stinky Tribe, but is also worried that these natives will run away, so naturally he has to sell them out as soon as possible.
In many cases, the surrounding countries would reserve the natives of the Choose Tribe in a certain area in advance, and then the Pinghai Navy would carry out the capture and bring all the natives of the Choose Tribe in this area.
Of course, there are still many people who have reserved Sakura Beauties, but most of them were captured by Qi Pinghai and sent to Baiyujing to become tribute girls of Lu Changjing, so there are hardly any who can be sold.
Now the number of Sakura Beauties in Baiyujing has exceeded 30,000, and most of the surviving Sakura Beauties of the Stinky Clan are in Baiyujing.
Even if Lu Changjing used one every night, it would take more than ten years to use them up. What's more, there were tribute girls from other countries, whose total number exceeded 100,000.
Even if Lu Changjing has been using it since he traveled through time and has been using it until now, he still can't use it up. It's really too much.
Moreover, the number is still growing continuously, with an average increase of several people every day. Lu Changjing has to act as a bridegroom several times and enter the bridal chamber several times every day to be able to keep up with the demands.
He is not a casual person and would never rashly develop these tribute girls into his love, so they can only be wasted.
Although he did not intend to keep such a beautiful woman unused, the Pink Palace had been regarded as his second harem by the world. Even if he allowed the imperial servants in the Pink Palace to marry freely, no one would dare to marry them.
He even dares to set his sights on the Emperor's woman. Is he tired of living?
Even many of the emperor's servants felt that they were the emperor's women and were unwilling to marry outsiders. Seeing that even these emperor's servants were like this, Lu Changjing felt helpless and could only let it go.
When they see the reality clearly and know that Lu Changjing cannot accept them as love, it will not be too late to marry other people.
Anyway, this matter is not so urgent at the moment, so let's just leave it like this for now.
While Lu Changjing was returning to Baiyujing, hundreds of thousands of miles away from him in the western foreign land, an event that shocked the entire human race was happening at this moment.
"Boom...Boom..."
With almost no warning, severe earthquakes of at least magnitude 8 or above occurred in many places in the West.
In the face of such a horrible earthquake, all kinds of houses in the West were destroyed easily like tofu, and countless foreigners died in them.
Along with the earthquake, there were beams of fire shooting up into the sky. They were as red as blood and mixed with wisps of black air, which looked particularly creepy.
"The end of the world is coming. This is the end of the world in myths and legends. Our human race is about to face the end of the world. Let's run quickly."
"Blood Fire, this is the Blood Fire, located in the deepest part of the earth, and it will only appear at the end of the world."
"According to ancient legends, when the bloody fire appears, it is also accompanied by terrifying monsters called fire demons. Those fire demons will appear soon. We must flee from here quickly."
"We in the West have never encountered such a large-scale blood and fire disaster. What is going on?"
……
Countless red-haired barbarians, blue-haired barbarians, golden-haired barbarians, green-haired barbarians... fled frantically, trying to get away from the place where the earthquake and the blood-fire broke out. However, the earthquake affected too large an area, and the blood-fire was like a wave, and not many outsiders could escape.
Fortunately, the population in the West is sparse, and the various foreign barbarians are not the main force in China. Even if they all die, it will not affect the strength of the human race.
However, with the outbreak of earthquakes and blood-flame fire, the earth veins, water veins, spiritual veins... of the western land began to suffer huge damage, causing the Kyushu barrier to decay at an alarming rate. This was unacceptable to the various tribes in Shenzhou.
The Demon Suppression Division was also set up here, mainly to monitor this matter, so they received the news quickly and passed it on to the higher levels.
The turmoil in the West continued, affecting an increasingly large area, with more and more foreign barbarians being killed and injured.
The blood and fire seemed like a living thing, rushing out from the cracks in the ground, along with strange monsters.
These monsters have different shapes, but all have burning yellow eyes, steamy sideburns, some have wings, and most have flaming whips wrapped around their bodies. There are also various other weapons, axes, swords, bows and arrows... and so on, but the most common are flaming whips.
There are human-shaped, tiger-shaped, dog-shaped, and pig-shaped ones... The small ones are only a few meters tall, and some are even an inch tall. The big ones are nearly a hundred meters tall, but no one over a hundred meters has been seen yet.
This is the Fire Demon, also known as the destroyer that can destroy everything in ancient Western legends. They occasionally appear in some volcanoes in the West, but when they crawl out from deep underground on a large scale, it means the arrival of a world-destroying war.
Of course, this is just an ancient Western legend. Perhaps for Western aliens, the appearance of these fire demons could destroy their homes and everything.
But for the entire Chinese land, it is not that exaggerated.
The strongest ones in the Western extra-story are only mid-level gods and demons. Perhaps they cannot deal with these fire demons deep underground, but that does not mean that no one in the three major divine dynasties and the Demon Suppression Bureau can deal with these fire demons.
When Lu Changjing returned to Baiyujing, he actually felt a faint vibration. He looked up towards the distant west, with a vague ominous premonition.
Did something happen over there? Why was there such a vibration, and it shouldn't have come from the nearby area.
Lu Changjing was a little confused, and immediately asked his servants to investigate the matter to find out what had happened and where the shock came from.
It didn't take long before the reason was revealed, and along with it came a summons from the Demon Suppression Bureau.
