472 Final Battle in the Valley
A few days later, Chen Yiming stopped explaining the cultivation techniques.
Cultivation was not difficult for those who understood it, but difficult for those who did not. This was especially true for those who had mastered the internal force. Their memory was already extremely good.
This way, they would definitely understand what they needed to understand. It was useless to say anything else if they still could not understand it. All that was left was to verify one’s understanding and identify the problems. With the current superior cultivation environment, there would usually be some results from the cultivation.
In addition, the construction of their base was still progressing. There was a lot of discussion about whether the administrative system formed by many human countries from the blue planet should be unified into a single empire.
One day, when Chen Yiming exited the secret realm, he realized that there had been a huge change in the area in the surrounding few kilometers. A few mountains had been flattened, and a small town had risen from the ground. The people inside were all warriors and martial masters.
Due to the restrictions of the basic environment in the abandoned world, high-rise buildings could be built in the secret realm, but not in the small town outside.
The houses in the town were all built from the huge trees and stones from the surrounding forest. They could not compare to the level of technology of the humans from the blue planet for the time being.
This was just like how ordinary people and those in the disciple realm would not be able to withstand it if they walked out of the secret realm, and they would die on the spot.
“You did a good job using a small town as a cover,” Chen Yiming said softly as he swept his gaze across the area.
Unless all the humans from the blue planet hid in the secret realm in the otherworld, as time passed, they would eventually leave traces of their activities in the outside world.
Instead of letting others follow them and discover their base, revealing the location of the secret realm in the otherworld, it was better to build a small town like this.
In the future, when the overall strength was enough, the town could be expanded into a city at any time, and the range of influence would continuously increase.
Soon, Chen Yiming walked along the mud road and circled the town.
Although the town was simple and was actually a supply point established by the humans from the blue planet, there were all kinds of shops.
All the shops selling supplies were mainly located in a market hosted by the government. Although it was so primitive that there were no technological elements, people were still coming and going.
Everything was developing in a good direction. After the humans from the blue planet had cultivated for a period of time in the secret realm in the otherworld, they could take the first step towards the abandoned world and set sail from the small town in the mountains.
…
Days passed.
With the appearance of a small town in the mountains, the location of the humans from the blue planet gradually became known to the villages within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.
“Although the average cultivation level of those outsiders is weak, there are many more of them than us.”
In the meeting hall, more than 10 village chiefs were gathered. One of them shouted excitedly.
Compared to a small town, the size of the buildings and the number of people in a village were clearly different. These were confirmed by their reconnaissance in the air.
“Those outsiders have a wolf cavalry team. When we sent out our strong young men, they wandered around the village and threatened us,”
a village chief patted the wooden table and reminded him calmly.
The humans from the blue planet quickly adjusted their combat plan after losing more than half of their 100-strong elite army.
Not only did they mobilize martial arts experts from the civilians, but they also mobilized a portion of the once terrifying creatures from their subsidiary races to form special teams.
The wolf cavalry quickly displayed their agility, speed, adaptability, and other strengths. They could often toy with the villagers and make themselves feared.
The meeting hall quickly became noisy.
The village chiefs exchanged the information obtained from the various villages.
After the outsiders were discovered and chased away by the villagers, they quickly made a comeback. The individual villages no longer had the advantage over them. Some teams that had gone out were even ambushed and there were casualties.
“We can’t let the outsiders be arrogant anymore. Otherwise, our villages might be destroyed one by one. I suggest that everyone put aside our past conflicts and prejudices and work together to defeat the outsiders first.”
When the atmosphere was completely stirred up, a village chief suddenly made a suggestion to work together.
This suggestion was immediately accepted by many other village chiefs. In the face of external threats, internal conflicts were immediately put aside.
This land was where the people from the villages had lived for many generations. It had long been regarded by the villages as their territory. How could they let others sleep soundly in their beds?
“With more than 10 villages working together, there has to be a leader! Otherwise, who will we listen to at this critical moment? I suggest Chairman Wang be the one to lead us.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting hall fell silent.
Chairman Wang’s shoulders were unusually wide, and his arms were like those of an ape, reaching past his knees. He gave off a fierce aura at first glance.
In reality, Chairman Wang was indeed one of the strongest people in the village. His cultivation talent was relatively higher.
However, some of the weaker village chiefs were a little worried that Chairman Wang would take the opportunity to combine the villages into a town. It was not impossible for that to happen.
Of course, Chairman Wang had to lead everyone to completely chase away or eliminate the outsiders first. That possibility would only occur if he established a good reputation for himself.
“Why don’t we let Chairman Wang take charge of the situation and bring in the other dozens of villages around us? This way, we will definitely be safe.”
Many village chiefs’ eyes lit up when they heard this.
This way, their last worries disappeared. Even if Chairman Wang could lead the dozens of villages, he would not be able to control them all.
Even if they returned victorious in the end, there was no need to worry about the villages being combined into a town. There were dozens of villages there. If Chairman Wang had the power to control a large town, he would have made a move long ago.
Soon, the plan was finalized.
After the village chiefs dispersed, they started to form groups to persuade the other villages. As they organized the strength of the strong young people in their village, they tried to convince one village at a time.
The small town of the humans from the blue planet were about to face an army formed by the strong young men from the dozens of villages. The sky seemed to have gathered an oppressive aura, and a storm was brewing.
This time, the villages no longer played guerrilla warfare in the forest. They wanted to use their absolute strength to eliminate the outsiders.
…
Just as a huge battle was about to break out, Chen Yiming left the secret realm.
The small town was surrounded by rolling mountains in a radius of 1,000 kilometers. The strongest person in the village had yet to reach the level of a god.
His strongest trump card, the spiritual figure, was guarding the secret realm in the otherworld, and he still had his second last trump card, the three dragons at the level of gods. In reality, the village alliance was not much of a threat.
Chen Yiming took a step forward, and the scene of mountains and rivers changed quickly. At the end of the horizon, the sun was setting in the west, and night had fallen. He also checked the situation along the way.
The commotion from the battle in the valley might cause someone from the Infinite Island Group to come to the area where the humans from the blue planet were to investigate. If the situation required it, he would make an appearance to attract everyone’s attention.
Chen Yiming stayed in an inn in a small city at night. Nothing much had happened, but his arrival still caused quite a commotion.
“It’s the person who snatched the treasure from the Infinite Island Group during the chaotic battle with the immortal factions a few days ago.” Someone had received detailed information and recognized who he was.
Many people sighed. Sneaking into the forces from the Infinite Island Group was simply snatching food from the tiger’s mouth. However, he had actually succeeded.
If not for the fact that the Infinite Island Group had issued a warrant for his arrest, it would have been difficult to imagine such an outcome. Two powerful factions had fought, and in the end, a third party had successfully taken advantage of the situation.
The immortal factions had suffered a huge injustice. Their Heavenly Immortal Tong Tian, who was a powerful heavenly immortal, had actually died in the battle.
The teahouse in the city suddenly became filled with people.
At the same time, there was no peace in the city. There were all kinds of discussions about Chen Yiming’s arrival.
There were even many people who packed their bags and left overnight, going far away from this troublesome place, afraid that they would be affected by the commotion.
“Mr. Chen is famous throughout the world. I’m impressed!”
Soon, someone from the Holy Medicine Sect came to visit.
There were a total of two people, one old and one young. When they saw that it was actually Chen Yiming, their hearts trembled. They were surprised that he still dared to show his face openly after he caused such a huge commotion.
On second thought, it was definitely not a bad thing to secretly be on good terms with him. After all, it was possible that even the Infinite Island Group could not do anything about him.
Then, after this chaos, the Holy Medicine Sect could be said to have found a powerful backer and welcomed a huge opportunity.
Chen Yiming chatted casually and sent the two people from the Holy Medicine Sect away.
At the same time, he accidentally heard some news about the medicine capital. The medicine capital was a large and prosperous city in the south mountain range. It was famous and had a long history.
Many factions that mainly focused on alchemy had set up camp in the medicine capital. In the mountain range in the extreme west of the south mountain range, various villages sold the herbs they had gathered to the medicine capital through various channels.
If he went to the medicine capital, firstly, he could sell the useless resources he had on him and exchange them for some large batches of divine pills to bring back to the secret realm in the otherworld.
Secondly, because of the geographical location of the medicine capital, the spies that the Infinite Island Group might send to the extreme west mountain range would follow him to the medicine capital.
Other than that, would there be any divine medicine or divine pills that could help one break through to a god in the medicine capital?
With the normal talent of the blue planet’s people, even in the cultivation environment of the abandoned world, it was very difficult for them to reach the realm of the gods.
This way, there was only one way forward. Only by relying on external forces and using a large number of source ores to cleanse the impurities in one’s body could one achieve a miracle and become a god.
The night passed.
News of Chen Yiming’s appearance in a small city had already spread overnight.
This was the influence brought about by the every move of an existence that could kill a heavenly immortal which was comparable to the strongest gods at the star evolution realm.
With the death of the Heavenly Immortal Tong Tian, unless two or three gods at the star evolution realm were gathered, no one would dare to provoke him.
However, it was not easy for the factions from the Infinite Island Group to mobilize their top forces since they were also controlling a large area in the south mountain range.
After all, in the current situation, they were still mainly targeting the factions behind the source ore shops. This was true even if they had suffered a huge loss due to Chen Yiming snatching the treasure from right under their noses.
Of course, not all the factions were indifferent. For example, the Roc clan, the ruler of Heaven Suppressing City…
Just as the sky turned bright, Chen Yiming left the small city and set off for the medicine capital. He came and went in a hurry, causing chaos in the small city.
…
At the same time, in less than half a day, the small town of humans from the blue planet faced an army of villagers. There were hundreds of people from each village, excluding the very old and very young. The combined army had a total of nearly 5,000 people.
Although newborn babies of the village-level factions in the wilderness of the abandoned world had yet to master supernatural power, they were born with strong bodies that humans from the blue planet did not have.
It could be said that the babies here were born with the foundation to master supernatural power.
As they grew up, other than a few people who were useless in cultivation, mastering supernatural power was a piece of cake.
Therefore, there were differences in the division of cultivation realms compared to what was done on the blue planet. Most of the young men and women had superhuman combat strength.
The weaker adults usually had the combat strength equivalent to the martial masters on the blue planet. Although most of them were holding weapons made from beast bones, they could not be underestimated.
Facing such an army of villagers, the humans from the blue planet were on high alert.
The terrifying creatures at the fusion realm from the subsidiary races walked out of the town one after another and hid in the forest.
The three dragon gods had arrived near the entrance of the secret realm in the otherworld and were on standby. They were prepared to support the front line at any time and completely destroy the army of villagers.
This battle was very important. The humans from the blue planet had to establish a sufficient deterrence within the territory of the town. No one wanted spies to loiter around them every other day.
This was because the secret realm in the otherworld was considered a safe and peaceful place. In the near future, it would be a residence for people below the warrior realm who had yet to master supernatural power.
Once one mastered supernatural power, they were no longer allowed to continue living in such a comfortable environment. Surviving in the abandoned world was very difficult, and there had to be an endless stream of new blood to replenish what was lost.
In a hiding place in the mountains, the head of the Limitless Martial Arts School and the disciples of the school followed the military’s orders and laid in ambush.
“School Head, I heard that in the village here, those children who are still playing with mud and sand can already defeat us warriors?”
A man in loose training robes looked at the tremors coming from the distant mountains and his voice trembled.
This man was 25 or 26 years old. After coming to the abandoned world, he quickly broke through from the first stage of the warrior realm to the second stage and mastered the transformation of his internal force.
However, after hearing that gods were everywhere and that extraordinary creatures were thought to be weak, he could not muster up any confidence, even when facing the army of villagers from the wilderness.
“How is that possible?”
The middle-aged head, who was also wearing a training robe, immediately corrected him and explained, “The brats in the village are indeed much more talented than us.”
“However, they’re too young and only have their strength. Generally, they don’t know how to maximize their power and turn it into actual combat strength. There’s no need to worry too much.”
“Besides, not every kid in the village has mastered supernatural powers at their young age. Many of them only master it when they are youths.”
Although he said this, the panic of the disciples of the martial arts school did not ease.
The children in the village were not in the army. The weakest in the army of villagers were the young men and women. As for the adult villagers, they were even stronger.
Therefore, when they thought about how they were about to face an enemy that was stronger and more talented than them, the disciples of the martial arts school lacked confidence.
This was not limited to the disciple who had spoken up. The other disciples were also trembling in fear. The humans from the blue planet knew very well that they had individuals with higher combat strength.
The three dragon gods were enough to destroy the assembled village army. However, as the village army was fleeing, it was not impossible for them to fight back against the weak humans.
There was a huge difference in their innate talent. It was very likely that they would be crushed by someone of the same level. This also meant that they would be killed before they could be saved.
