The Buddhist sect is now transferring the power of the Great Sun Buddha Vajra Nirvana Array, consuming the West Pole Country's national fortune every second.
Aside from this, even though the power of the array has been transferred, the array itself remains in Pudu Temple, so Jing Heng can't directly use the national fortune to join the battle as he did before.
There are only a few thods in this world capable of remotely manipulating the national fortune.
The first is the Xuanqiong Supre True Dragon Array, which can bless soone with national fortune from miles away.
The second is Li Fei's "Jing'an" divine skill.
The third is Jing Lian's ability after "Breaking Limit."
Wenren Zheng noticed Jing Heng didn't use "Buddha's Words" within the array to consu the national fortune and condense a Martial Saint clone, imdiately realizing the array before him was not "original."
"Trying to trap until the River Guardian Heavenly King returns?"
As Wenren Zheng struck with his spear, he calmly contemplated.
He pondered the Buddhist sect's intention with this action.
Even if they manage to stall until the River Guardian Heavenly King returns, ignoring the cost of racing back at full speed in a short ti, Da Lan Dynasty still has a Profound Heart True Monarch who hasn't joined the fray.
Why does the Buddhist sect think they can win?
If they're not confident, what's the significance of consuming national fortune to trap him now?
Above the cloud sea, the Profound Heart True Monarch, dressed in a Daoist robe, looked expressionlessly at the battle ahead.
He watched Jing Lian, empowered by national fortune and "Buddha's Words," fighting against the Green Frost Army and saw Wenren Zheng temporarily trapped by the Great Sun Buddha Vajra Nirvana Array.
If he intervenes now, whether assisting the Green Frost Army against Jing Lian or helping Wenren Zheng break the array, it would instantly change the battlefield!
Yet, the Profound Heart True Monarch remained a re spectator from beginning to end.
Wenren Zheng also hadn't issued any orders to him.
Although the people of Upper Pure Sect have taken governntal positions, their relationship with Da Lan Dynasty is that of allies.
Wenren Zheng couldn't directly command a True Monarch.
As analyzed by Ye Ze'an, the best situation for Upper Pure Sect is for Da Lan Dynasty to remain stalemated with West Pole Country, ensuring neither side erges victorious.
This way, Upper Pure Sect can continue "developing" using Da Lan Dynasty's resources without worrying about being discarded after crossing the river.
Thus, when Da Lan Dynasty was at a disadvantage, facing potential obliteration with a single defeat, the Profound Heart True Monarch participated in multiple battles, exerting his efforts each ti.
But when Da Lan Dynasty gained the upper hand and seed poised to destroy West Pole Country, the Profound Heart True Monarch refrained from intervening.
This ti, when Wenren Zheng proactively led his troops into West Pole Country, the Profound Heart True Monarch had pre-agreed with him that he would only intervene to save him or the Green Frost Army if they were in danger.
Seeing the stalemate, Green Frost Army commander Xing Sinan quickly activated a magic artifact for remote communication to report the situation to Lanling City.
...
Lanling City.
Imperial Study Room.
Qin Ziheng, playing chess with Ye Ze'an, received news from within West Pole Country imdiately.
He frowned slightly, informing Ye Ze'an of the intelligence.
"What does the Grand Secretary think is the Buddhist sect's intention with this move?"
In the original calculations, Wenren Zheng leading troops into West Pole Country should have prompted the Buddhist sect to defend with full power, waiting for the River Guardian Heavenly King's return.
At that point, Wenren Zheng would automatically retreat his troops.
But now, the other side is consuming national fortune to trap Wenren Zheng, showing an active offensive posture, requiring a response.
Ye Ze'an: "Your Majesty, have Li Fei take the Void Pool Clam over there."
No matter what kind of calculation the Buddhist sect has, Da Lan Dynasty deploying a Ninth Grade Beast is definitely beyond their expectations!
Upon hearing this, Qin Ziheng looked gravely at the interwoven pieces on the chessboard.
The ga had entered the endga, yet the situation remained ambiguous, showing no clear outco.
"Father tirelessly worked, and the State Preceptor gave his all even in death."
"In my life, I tread with caution. Do you think in this ga, I can win?"
Pa!
A chess piece was placed by Qin Ziheng on the board.
No regrets upon making a move.
...
Above the cloud sea, the Black Boat sped forward.
Li Fei suddenly stopped controlling the Black Boat.
"Duke?"
Zhao Jin and Hua Yanjun turned to look at Li Fei.
"You continue to steer the Black Boat back to Lanling City, I have other matters to attend to."
Li Fei said simply, handing over control of the Black Boat to Zhao Jin, then directly used "No Distance" to leave.
On the Black Boat, the two looked at each other.
"What could be so urgent?"
Zhao Jin looked at Hua Yanjun.
Hua Yanjun pressed his lips together, his expression sowhat solemn.
For the Duke Jing'an to urgently leave must be a matter of military or national importance!
"Another war, huh..."
Hua Yanjun looked in the direction of West Pole Country and said softly.
Above the azure sky, the cloud sea roiled.
Fierce winds blew endlessly.
...
In the void, Li Fei stood on a giant black scale.
To be precise, he stood on a colossal body resembling a giant whale, with most of its form flickering in and out of the void. He stood on a scale, like standing on a dark mountain peak.
"Faster."
Li Fei urged the Void Pool Clam with heart sound.
Void Pool Clam: "Given my size, if I speed up, by the ti I bring you there, I'll barely have any strength left."
Li Fei: "No worries, I'll provide you with power."
After speaking, he began to absorb Heaven and Earth Qi with full power.
A substantial amount of pure Heaven and Earth Qi filled the void as if a giant underwater vortex suddenly appeared in the ocean, with massive Heaven and Earth Qi continuously being drawn into Li Fei's body!
anwhile, he activated the "Refining" divine skill, refining the absorbed Heaven and Earth Qi simply before passing it to the Void Pool Clam.
With the support of Heaven and Earth Qi, the Void Pool Clam no longer hesitated, speeding up its movent through the void.
