The white light spots merged into the shrine, and the shrine, which looked somewhat old and dilapidated, gradually had its appearance renewed after the light spots were incorporated.
The image of the Holy Son suffering within the shrine, bearing the likeness of Mo Jiang, also emitted a faint white light, seemingly possessing some kind of spirituality.
Mo Jiang could sense that after absorbing the world's faith in him, the Netherworld Blessed Land seemed to have been strengthened.
The space increased in length, width, and height by about ten meters, and the tree branch transformed into a stream of light, becoming a black and white bracelet.
The bracelet had no other decorations except for a bead that was white on the outside and black on the inside in the center.
That's a change after the upgrade of the Netherworld Blessed Land. Mo Jiang can now establish branch temples in the material world to absorb the incense offerings from a certain region, thus avoiding waste.
It's pretty much confirmed that what the Netherworld needs is incense and faith related to Mojiang.
"It seems the best place to put this is with Henry and his men."
Compared to Chicago, Skarlitz was the true stronghold of faith in Mojiang. At this time, thousands of people in Skarlitz relied on Mojiang for their livelihood, making it the largest area in terms of faith.
Not to mention Henry and his three companions, who wholeheartedly trusted Mo Jiang; from a religious perspective, they were fanatics.
172. You did a great job, absolutely great! I must reward you handsomely!
Heaven saves the world, Skaritz.
Mo Jiang glanced at the report submitted by Henry and his team. The population and housing were being arranged according to Mo Jiang's plan, and Skaritz was receiving nearly five thousand people who had lost their land.
This number led Mo Jiang to suspect that, in addition to the fact that they were refugees themselves, other lords might have secretly dumped farmers they couldn't afford to support here as well.
Mo Jiang had no burden with this number of refugees; his warehouse in Chicago was more than capable of purchasing large quantities of food, as well as a variety of improved seeds and fertilizers.
The United States is a major exporter of agricultural products.
As for the unusually large number of refugees, Mo Jiang wasn't surprised. Although Kingdom Come: Deliverance claims to be close to real history, it has actually been altered in some ways.
For example, alchemy, or the supporters of Wenceslaus IV in the cutscene leading hundreds of plate-armored knights in a charge...
In fact, based on historical records, the entire Bohemian region might not have been able to produce even a few hundred complete suits of plate armor.
"By the way, has that acting pastor left?"
Mo Jiang suddenly remembered that a substitute pastor had come to him before to investigate heresy.
He might have been a little worried about this kind of thing before, after all, if heresy was really found, the church wouldn't take it lying down.
But as Mo Jiang's power grew as he experienced more and more worlds, he stopped paying much attention to so-called heretical matters.
Even if they are found to be heretics, so what? How many divisions does the Pope have?
"He has already left, and he didn't notice anything unusual."
Henry's approach was simple: on the one hand, he ostensibly assisted the acting pastor, while on the other hand, he subtly conveyed to the pastor that there were no problems, and with a few small bribes, the acting pastor quickly returned with the message that "Skaritz is perfectly fine."
"Well done. There are other tasks for you here."
Mo Jiang carefully considered his words before speaking, "Next, Henry, the four of you will each recruit people to establish an army. We may have to go to war after winter."
war!
Upon hearing this word, Henry and the others' pupils dilated slightly. They were no longer ignorant country boys. If the war started in the spring, then their only target would be Sigismund.
Skarlitz is simply too small; Mojang needs more territory, more people, and more faith.
The territories of Sigismund and the rebellious nobles were now available.
In fact, training has been going on from the very beginning. Whether it's making refugees line up, work together, or do morning exercises together, these can all be considered preliminary training.
The next step is to recruit qualified personnel.
"Excellent, you did a fantastic job!" Mo Jiang patted Henry's shoulder vigorously. "I must reward you handsomely!"
Henry and his three confidants were the first men he recruited, and since they had done a good job, he naturally couldn't be stingy with their rewards.
He immediately took out the Netherworld Paradise and took Henry, Fritz, Matthew, and Matthias inside.
Henry and the others felt a blur before their eyes and found themselves in a gloomy scene.
"Sir, where is this place?"
Henry and his companions were not nervous because they had their own companions around them, and Mo Jiang was also by their side, which made them feel like they had a pillar of support.
"Here's your reward. Take the incense and pray before the shrine."
As he spoke, Mo Jiang lit incense sticks and gave three sticks to each of the boys. Following Mo Jiang's instructions, Henry and the others bowed three times to the shrine and then inserted the incense sticks into the soil in front of the shrine.
Soon, the boys discovered something different about their bodies.
Their palms emitted a pure white light, and perhaps because they were followers of Mo Jiang, the light in their hands was much brighter than the holy light used by Nie Mo Li.
The group stared wide-eyed at the light emanating from their palms.
No one can deny the sacredness of this light. Anyone who sees it for the first time will agree that it is a sacred light, a holy light.
"Be careful when using the rewards I'm giving you, or you might hurt yourself."
After explaining how to use the Holy Light, Mo Jiang left a portion of the Netherworld Blessed Land in Skalitz to absorb the ever-growing incense and faith from there.
At the same time, he didn't notice that the way Henry and the others looked at him was no longer the way they looked at a "person," but more like the way clergy looked at Jesus on the cross.
……
Mo Jiang didn't stay in Skarlitz for long. With his current strength, he wasn't too concerned about the trouble of saving the world from the Heavenly Kingdom. He only needed to go back periodically to make sure his territory was still intact.
Of course, we must not forget the advance after spring.
Mo Jiang acquired a batch of guns and artillery from Watchdog World, intending to use them in the newly established army.
After Skaritz, Mo Jiang went to the Four Seas Treasure Shop in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber. After opening the box left by Wan Ji, he stared blankly at the contents.
There were three swords lying in the box, three broken swords whose blades appeared to be corroded by rust.
Broken Sword Tian Shu, Broken Sword Kai Yang, Broken Sword Tian Quan.
With the four broken swords he had already collected, Mo Jiang now had a total of seven broken swords.
He took out seven broken swords and placed them on the ground. The broken swords were named after the seven stars. Mo Jiang picked up the broken sword Tian Shu and poured his internal energy into it.
The internal force of the Ten Yang Realm is fierce and domineering, and in an instant, the Broken Sword Heaven Pivot turned completely red, as if it had been thrown into a furnace.
At the same time, the rust on the sword began to fade away, and at the same time, the other broken swords on the ground also began to vibrate synchronously. Then, the six broken swords on the ground suddenly stood up and formed the shape of the Big Dipper on the ground, starting from Tian Shu.
The Heavenly Pivot resonated with the other broken swords, and the rust on the seven swords began to fade away simultaneously.
Mo Jiang realized that to break the seal on the broken swords, he needed to inject more internal energy to remove the rust from all seven broken swords at the same time.
Immediately, internal energy surged violently into the broken swords like a dam bursting, causing all seven broken swords to glow red-hot as if they had been thrown into a furnace.
With a single sword cry, Mo Jiang felt the Tian Shu Sword tremble violently, break free from his grasp, and plunge its blade into the earth, forming the Big Dipper constellation with the other six swords.
The sword's cry echoed among the seven swords, causing them to vibrate. The Big Dipper appeared on each of their blades, and starlight shimmered on their surfaces.
The broken swords were unsealed, and at this moment they were no longer broken swords, but the Big Dipper Seven Star Swords.
Mo Jiang held the Tian Shu sword, channeling his inner strength into it, and with a sudden swing, the blade sliced through the air.
At the same time, the six swords stuck in the ground seemed to be pulled up on their own, flying towards the target that Tian Shu was attacking.
However, due to the lack of subsequent control, the six swords collided in mid-air and fell down.
After the Big Dipper Seven Star Swords were unsealed, one sword could control the other six. Under the resonance, the other six swords did not need swordsmen, and one person could control the seven swords to form a sword formation.
"Holy crap, that's a really cool sword!"
Mo Jiang's eyes widened immediately. If that move had been controlled properly, it would have been a perfect example of the "Sword Control Technique".
He now understood why some people said that if the Broken Sword were unsealed, its power would be no less than that of the Heaven Sword.
173. Zhenwu Seven Intercept Formation, one against sixty-four.
The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, behind Wudang Mountain.
Zhang Sanfeng slowly withdrew his internal energy, closed his eyes, and felt what he had just experienced.
Just now, when he transferred his internal energy into Mo Jiang's body, it immediately triggered a counterattack from the Ten Yang Internal Energy.
"It was incredibly powerful, like ten suns rising from the sky. Even though I've lived for over a hundred years, I've never seen such internal strength."
In Zhang Sanfeng's eyes, it was hard to say whether the power within Mo Jiang's body was internal energy or something else.
That level of heat and temperature is beyond what the human body can withstand. It's hard to say whether it will kill the enemy first or cook your own internal organs first.
Not to mention the Ten Suns Blue Flame, with a minimum temperature of 1,500 degrees Celsius, it can easily melt steel.
Even with Zhang Sanfeng's extensive experience, he couldn't help but ask, "How exactly did you cultivate such extraordinary internal energy?"
If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't taught Mo Jiang both the Nine Yang Divine Skill and the basics of martial arts himself, he wouldn't have asked this question. After all, the world is full of wonders.
But someone like Mo Jiang, who had received his instruction, shouldn't have come up with such a strange thing.
Zhang Sanfeng felt as if he were a physics professor giving a lesson, only to have the student pull out a Getter Ray and claim it was a work based on his teachings—a truly terrifying experience.
It should be noted that Mo Jiang's internal energy originated from the Nine Yang Divine Skill, but the authentic Nine Yang Divine Skill should be like Zhang Wuji's, with yin and yang in harmony.
Mo Jiang's inner strength is like assembling furniture according to IKEA's instructions, resulting in an absurd assembly that resembles a nuclear bomb.
"Teacher, it's hard for me to explain to you no matter how you ask me."
Mo Jiang had some ideas about the changes in his internal energy. He guessed that the Nine Yang Divine Skill itself had lost its yin-yang balance due to the different training method, and had become extremely strong and yang.
This wouldn't have been a big deal; it was just a risky approach. But if Mo Jiang wanted to perfect the Nine Yang Divine Skill, he would eventually have to return to the path of Yin-Yang harmony.
Otherwise, his physique simply wouldn't be able to withstand the increasingly violent Nine Yang internal energy.
However, he not only possessed the Nine Yang Internal Force, but every time the Nine Yang Internal Force burned his meridians, it was healed by the Holy Light.
With the unrestrained imaginations of Hu Qingniu and Wang Nangu, Mo Jiang's Nine Yang Divine Skill went all out towards a fierce and violent path.
Following this path, Mo Jiang will have absolutely no chance of perfecting the Nine Yang Divine Skill. With his physique and internal strength, the difficulty of breaking through the final barrier is more than ten times that of Zhang Wuji.
Even modern high-tech materials may not be able to find anything that can withstand the internal force of the Mo River.
but!
There's always a "but" to everything.
However, the Ghost Realm doesn't work with the rules of physics. The infinite compression of the Ghost Realm at that time made it an absolutely rigid body, a closed cage that Mo Jiang's power at the time could never break through.
With the help of the pressure from the Ghost Domain, Mo Jiang broke through the Ten Yang Realm, which was absolutely impossible to break through.
Mo Jiang told Zhang Sanfeng everything that had happened during this period in detail, without any intention of hiding anything, since the old man knew about his special status.
Zhang Sanfeng listened with great interest to Mo Jiang's experiences and what happened in other parts of the world.
After hearing that Mo Jiang had unsealed the seven broken swords and made the Big Dipper Seven Star Swords a complete set, he even asked the disciple to take them out for a look.
Mo Jiang did not refuse. He had come to Wudang Mountain with the intention of seeking advice from his teacher, because he had spent a lot of effort but had not found a suitable way to control the Seven Star Sword.
The swordsman must hold one of the Big Dipper swords and control the other six flying swords by infusing internal energy to create resonance.
If used properly, one person can unleash seven attacks.
However, the attack routes of the seven swords are difficult to calculate instantly, and if one is not familiar with them, it is easy for them to interfere with each other.
After observing for a while, Zhang Sanfeng seemed to be deep in thought. "Your sword set can be used to perform the True Martial Seven Intercept Formation. The martial art I envisioned back then might be able to be completed on you."
Upon hearing the words "True Martial Seven Intercept Formation," even Mo Jiang couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The True Martial Seven-Section Formation is, in some respects, the strongest martial art in the world of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, without exception.
One day, Zhang Sanfeng saw the Turtle and Snake Generals in front of the statue of Zhenwu. He thought of Snake Mountain and Turtle Mountain at the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Han River. He thought that the snake was agile and the turtle was solemn. Zhenwu Emperor had a turtle and a snake on his left and right, which combined the two natures of the most spiritual and the most solemn. So he rushed to Hanyang overnight, looked at the Snake and Turtle Mountains, and created a set of exquisite martial arts from the meandering shape of Snake Mountain and the dignified shape of Turtle Mountain.
However, the Turtle and Snake Mountains are majestic and powerful, and the martial arts that evolved from their terrain are all-encompassing and all-powerful, which cannot be performed by one person at the same time.
Zhang Sanfeng stood quietly on the banks of the Yangtze River for three days and nights without eating or drinking, pondering deeply, but still could not figure out the problem.
On the morning of the fourth day, as the sun rose in the east, its rays shone on the river, making it appear as if countless golden snakes were glittering. He suddenly realized something, laughed heartily, returned to Wudang Mountain, summoned his seven disciples, and taught each of them a set of martial arts techniques.
Because this formation was created by the two generals, Turtle and Snake, under the command of Zhenwu the Great, it is named "Zhenwu Seven-Section Formation".
While each of the seven martial arts techniques in this formation has its own unique advantages when used separately, when the two people work together, the brothers complement each other, achieving a balance between offense and defense, thus greatly increasing the formation's power.
If three people use it together, its power is twice as strong as if two people use it together.
Four people are equivalent to eight masters, five people are equivalent to sixteen masters, six people are equivalent to thirty-two masters, and when seven people attack together, it is like sixty-four top masters of the world attacking at the same time.
What defines a top-tier expert?
