Ascension failed, the system took me away

The Japanese demon army did not show up on the East China Sea battlefield as scheduled as usual.

Instead, he secretly went to other places to do something tricky.

Such behavior is both unpromising and disrespectful.

However, the Zhuyang Legion did not take it seriously based on the principle that Xia was a country of etiquette.

Instead, I forgave them a second time and enthusiastically chased them to give them two boxes of eggs. After all, they were all acquaintances.

The two boxes of eggs were formed by the condensation of countless rainstorms, and their power was magnified many times compared to that of a single raindrop.

This is the conventional weapon of the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon - calling the wind and rain.

Calling the wind is the operating system.

Combining the classic Taoist sword-wielding techniques, every drop of rain is controlled by a soldier of the Zhuyang Legion.

Moreover, the disadvantage of the flying swords needing to be recovered is eliminated, and they can be directly blown up and then the next batch can be taken over.

It can be said to be a swarm of miniature blasting drones with a very large operating space and great flexibility.

Calling for rain is the real attack.

There are different types of rain, representing different functions.

Starting with 'Breeze and First Rain' is a test to find out the enemy's weakness.

Next up is 'Violent Storm', an attack that is adjusted based on the weaknesses found in the opening move.

Explosive rain can really explode. Although it is called rain, it actually comes from the most offensive magic of Taoism.

——Thunder magic.

And it is the Renshui Yang Thunder, one of the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

As for why other thunder methods were not chosen, there are many considerations.

Ren water is Yang water, which symbolizes flowing water sources such as rivers, lakes and seas, and it has great power.

The most important point is that the Zhuyang Corps is stationed on the East China Sea defense line, and the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon are also going to fight in the sea.

Seawater can be used to extract the raw materials of Renshui Yanglei.

The ocean is so vast that it can be said that the material is endless.

As long as they are at sea, the Seven Stars of the Blue Dragon can obtain a steady supply of Renshui Yanglei.

Before it was destroyed, it was a large amphibious mobile artillery battery.

Since there is the Yang Water Thunder of Ren Water, there is naturally also the Yin Water Thunder of Gui Water.

However, that is the ultimate weapon to deal with ghosts and demons. Once it is used, it will surely be successful.

Therefore, the current situation of minor conflicts will not be exposed.

……

"The total number of enemy casualties is 101,135."

"Nearly half of them had their powers drained away by some kind of magic, and died at the hands of their own people."

"One hundred and eighty-six fleeing units, all of them are intelligent and high-level ghosts."

"Preliminary judgment is that 80% of them are ghost ninjas who are good at hiding and escaping, and the rest are ghost warriors and other ghost professions."

"The demon commander is also among them..."

In the Jiaosu dragon boat, the soldiers of the Zhuyang Army were collecting intelligence after attacking the enemy.

All kinds of information were dug out, no matter how big or small, leaving out no insignificant detail.

"Are there any more people running away? Forget it, let the new recruits practice with them." Zheng Zhilong stroked his chin and thought.

Then he stretched out his hand, enlarged the magic projection, and brought out the image of a middle-aged man.

"This guy runs really fast. I've never seen him on the battlefield before. He doesn't look like a Japanese. Analyze his origins for me."

As soon as the words were spoken, the staff team marked out all the details related to the middle-aged man.

"Based on the respectful attitude of the demon vanguard Yagyu Munenori towards him, this person has a high position in the shogunate."

"But their clothing is not like the Japanese style, but closer to the style of our Kyushu Qin Dynasty."

"The magic you used has some influence from the Japanese school..."

"No, it should be said that the techniques of Japan have traces of him, and they should have been passed down by him."

"The method is similar to that of the Qigong masters and Fang Xiangshi of the pre-Qin period."

Under the brainstorming of the staff group, the target's underwear was about to be turned out.

The Qigong practitioners in the pre-Qin period were actually the predecessors of Taoism, also known as alchemists.

It is a general term for a group of practitioners who seek immortality.

It’s just that at that time there were many schools of thought and there were many different schools of thought, so this special group was a mixed bag.

There are people with real abilities, and there are also charlatans who are just trying to deceive people.

Later, they gradually merged with each other and evolved into the Taoism we have today.

All these changes began with the emergence of the "Five Pecks of Rice Sect".

The Fangxiangshi was a wizard official who communicated with the gods in heaven, also called "Wuxian".

Responsible for mysterious tasks such as expelling ghosts, evil spirits and epidemics, offering sacrifices and praying for rain, etc.

It is also the origin of the technique of asking gods for help in later practice systems.

The middle-aged man performed a similar spell when the two boxes of eggs condensed by the heavy rain exploded.

Sacrifice most of the brainless ghosts, extract their strength and vitality, and run away with the ghosts with brains.

The method was analyzed frame by frame by everyone, and relying on the thousands of books read in Zhuang Zhou Academy, they soon figured out the trick.

"So we can probably confirm that this person is a cultivator from the Qin Dynasty or even earlier."

"Wait." Someone suddenly interrupted, "When I was controlling the rainstorm, I heard Yagyu Munenori yelling, 'Master Junfang, save me'..."

"Junfang? I seem to have heard or seen it somewhere..."

"Me too, I've definitely seen this name somewhere."

Most of the soldiers felt that these two words seemed familiar, but they couldn't figure out where they had seen them before.

While they were racking their brains to think, someone shook his head and said, "Why bother to think about it? Just contact the scholars at Zhuang Zhou Academy and ask them."

Everyone nodded: "That's right, they have read a lot of books, they must know."

Just as they were about to contact each other, one of the staff officers slapped the table and said excitedly: "I remember, Jun Fang, isn't that Xu Fu?"

Hearing this, it was like seeing the moon through the fog, and the soldiers present suddenly understood.

No wonder it sounds familiar, it turns out to be the famous alchemist from the Qin Dynasty.

Xu Fu, whose courtesy name was Junfang, was an alchemist during the Qin Dynasty. He was well-versed in many fields and was proficient in medicine, alchemy, astronomy, navigation, qigong, etc.

His knowledge is quite diverse and he is suspected to have studied in several schools. It is said that the last time he appeared was as a disciple of Yin-Yang School.

This guy took thousands of boys and girls to the east on the pretext of going to the fairyland overseas to look for the elixir of immortality.

But until the death of the First Emperor, the Qin Dynasty was destroyed and he never came back.

The Yin-Yang School disciples who were close to Daqin called him a traitor and a sinner.

"I didn't expect that after so many years, this guy is still alive. Could it be that he really found the elixir of immortality?"

Zheng Zhilong looked at the image of Xu Fu with some surprise.

Because normally speaking, even the top human practitioners in the world cannot live that long.

The longest was like Peng Zu in ancient times, who lived for eight hundred years, but this cannot be verified.

Nowadays, the lifespan of human practitioners is getting shorter and shorter, and the top lifespan in the world is only about three hundred years.

The longest is no more than five hundred years, which is the ideal situation for people to stay healthy and not fight.

When your life span is over, even if you are invincible, your soul will still be taken away by the underworld and die on the spot.

Therefore, when human practitioners have reached a point where they can no longer make progress, they have only two paths to take.

One is the ascension after surviving nine deaths and one escape.

The second is to rely on the relationship with the ancestor and find a job in the underworld.

As for learning from the different species, they do not enter the cycle of reincarnation, but secretly cross the Chencang Pass and are reborn directly in the human world.

This simply doesn't work.

Because the aliens' method of sneaking into Chencang is also carried out while they still have some life left.

They thought that the underworld didn't know, but in fact, the gods in the underworld turned a blind eye and didn't bother to care.

When one's lifespan ends, his soul will be possessed, and once it is shone under the Three Lives Stone, all his secrets will be revealed.

The reason Xu Fu is still alive today is probably because he, like those old antiques, has escaped the cycle of reincarnation and his real name is not recorded in the Book of Life and Death.

He has survived to this day through some means of prolonging his life.

And the key is most likely the legendary elixir of immortality.
