The return of the Dragon Clan made the cultivators in the Shenhua Realm suddenly nervous, and the most nervous among them was the Yuqing Sect. Although the Yunhai Realm has always been closed off from the outside world, no one knows how much strength the Dragon Clan still has inside. However, just by simply inferring from the known information, we can guess that the dragon clan is definitely not someone to be trifled with.
Therefore, facing such a huge threat, Yuqingzong could not help but feel nervous.
Although nothing is absolute, and although everyone knows that the Dragon Clan has always been "narrow-minded," there is no guarantee that they will change their temper somewhat over the years. However, it is impossible for Yu Qingzong to completely rely on others for his family's life and death. Just like what Moyi Territory has done for tens of thousands of years, even if there is only a "just in case" possibility, we must treat it as a major event and prepare for it.
So, under Ye Zan's instructions, Mo Rushi and others immediately went to contact several allies. Moreover, regarding the matter of Xuanqing Daozu demolishing the Beihai Dragon Palace, the Yuqing Sect did not hide anything at all. After all, the allies were required to contribute at a critical moment, and it was impossible for Yuqingzong not to tell them such an important matter.
In fact, even if Yuqingzong didn't say it, Xuanqing Daozu's demolition of Beihai Dragon Palace was not a secret at all. Telling this news to the allies not only showed that Yuqingzong was honest enough, but also wanted to avoid damaging the alliance.
However, it is conceivable that if the Dragon Clan really wants to pursue this matter with great fanfare, the Yuqing Sect cannot expect those allies to really live and die with them.
As the saying goes, "To strike with iron, you must be strong yourself." Of course, allies are an indispensable source of foreign aid, but they must also be strong enough to deal with threats. At this point, purely from a spiritual perspective, it is almost impossible to make changes in a short period of time. Even if Ye Zan could refine various elixirs, it would be impossible to use elixirs to create the power of Dharma Realm and Tongtian Realm.
Fortunately, although Ye Zan does not have the ability to provide the disciples of the Yuqing Sect with the realm of cultivation in a short period of time, he can increase their combat power. This combat power is related to the realm of cultivation, but it is not entirely determined by the realm of cultivation. Otherwise, there is no need for everyone to take action when fighting. It is enough to just talk about the realm of cultivation.
And Ye Zan's method is none other than the firearms that mortals can use brought from the world of science and technology, or to be more precise, firearms technology.
Long before he went to Mo Yi Territory, Ye Zan had already invested a lot of energy in research on firearms. After all, the original firearms in the technological world, whether they are gunpowder firearms or energy firearms, are somewhat insufficient in power in this world.
You must know that the firearms in the technological world are originally intended to kill what is called secular mortals in this world. In the world of science and technology, no matter how strengthened and developed the human body is, it is impossible to reach the level of a monk in this world. At most, it can only be equipped with various armors outside the body. But even armor, let alone armor worn by an individual soldier, even the armor protection possessed by a mecha is difficult to compare with a monk's magic weapon or spell.
Therefore, if Ye Zan wants the firearms in the technological world to have enough lethality in this world, he must redesign the firearms. However, Ye Zan had already researched some results on this matter before he went to Mo Yi Realm, but he never had the chance to show it out.
In fact, in terms of the positioning of firearms, Ye Zan really does not want firearms to become rampant in this world.
After all, firearms, whether they are early gunpowder firearms or later energy firearms, do not have high technological content.
Speaking of gunpowder firearms, they are nothing more than using the instantaneous explosion of gunpowder to push the metal slug out of the gun chamber. Energy firearms are nothing more than highly compressed and concentrated energy, causing damage to targets with high temperature and high energy.
However, firearms have an incredible effect, which is to smooth the gap between individual human beings to a certain extent.
Of course, the emphasis is "to some extent". After all, using firearms also requires proficiency and some personal shooting talent. However, it is not that difficult to improve these things, especially compared with the investment of humans in strengthening their bodies.
In other words, if a person wants to achieve the ultimate human body through exercise, he not only needs to invest money, but also needs to invest a lot of energy and time. For example, none of those fighting champions or the kings of special forces in the military can be trained casually. However, as long as you learn to use firearms, you can kill those who are much stronger than you with just a move of your fingers.
Although the firearms in the technological world are no longer so defiant in this world, at most they can still maintain a similar power in front of low-level ascetics. If they really reach the Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm and beyond, with the power of those firearms, it may be difficult to break through their various defense methods.
As for Ye Zan's modification of firearms, the actual principles are still the original basic principles, but some technologies from the monastic world have been added. For example, in order to increase the power of a firearm, the fundamental thing is to increase the kinetic energy of the bullet, that is, to make the bullet have stronger thrust force. To enhance the thrust force, it is natural to use stronger materials that can withstand the strength of the force to make the chamber, barrel and other parts of the firearm.
These things are not that complicated. To put it bluntly, it is just a matter of changing some methods and materials. It’s just that no one in this world thinks about these aspects, just like no one thinks about why an apple falls to the ground. However, once they are inspired and see the application of this principle, it will not be difficult to learn.
Back then, at the Tao Discussion Conference, the foundation-building disciples from the Yuqing Sect had displayed something similar to firearms, which had surprised all the sects. However, because the level of power involved is too low, not many people really take it to heart, and just regard it as a hidden weapon similar to a crossbow.
However, if Ye Zan comes up with more powerful firearms, people will find that this kind of thing has great development value. The ascetics in this world are not fools. If you really think about it and study it carefully, it is not that difficult to get the results.
Having said that, didn't Yu Leyang rely on his own understanding to create weapons similar to firearms in the technological world
It is precisely because the threshold for research and production is low, and the effect is far better than ordinary magic weapons, especially when it comes to improving personal combat power, it is very cost-effective. Therefore, if this kind of firearm shows its "true face" in this world, I am afraid that no matter how much Ye Zan controls it, the proliferation of firearms will be a matter of time.
However, worries are worries, and the threats Yu Qingzong is facing now do not allow them to give up the benefits of firearms just because of these worries. To put it mildly, if the Yuqing Sect really cannot pass this level, there is no need to worry about whether the firearms will become widespread.
After making up his mind, Ye Zan immediately asked the War Fortress to start manufacturing the "new" firearms he had developed. Moreover, the production over there was almost simultaneous, and the firearms produced were distributed to the disciples of the Yuqing Sect.
After all, no matter how simple a firearm is to use, it still takes a certain amount of time for the user to become familiar with it. It doesn't mean that if you know how to turn on the safety and pull the trigger of the gun, you will definitely be able to hit the target, especially at ultra-long range.
Therefore, those disciples who received firearms were immediately arranged to go shooting.
And there is another point. The new firearms distributed by Ye Zan to his disciples are not just as simple as increasing the "dose", but also improving the power of the firearms in various aspects.
For example, in terms of bullets, a simple metal slug, whether it is a dummy bullet or an armor-piercing bullet, can cause very limited damage when it hits an enemy like a monk. Therefore, the warhead also needs to be specially manufactured, and some monastic methods need to be combined into it to truly have sufficient lethality.
Bullets are different, and the disciples of Yuqing Sect naturally have to learn how to better use them in battle based on the characteristics of various bullets. Otherwise, if a magic bullet is used despite the need for stronger penetration, the effect will definitely be greatly compromised.
After Ye Zan issued the next batch of firearms, Yuqingzong seemed to be celebrating the New Year every day, and there was a "crackling" sound almost all the time. However, those disciples did not know the "grievances" between the Dragon Clan and the Yuqing Sect, and only thought that the firearms were benefits given by the sect.
In addition to ordinary firearms, there are also some more advanced firearms, or those that can be called "XX guns", which were handed over by Ye Zan to more trustworthy people. Just like the naval gun that Ye Zan used to nearly kill Lord Fuguang, after being miniaturized and refined, it became a weapon that can be carried by individuals.
Of course, the naval gun is no longer the naval gun it once was. Ye Zan has also been redesigned and modified to make it more powerful. The so-called "targeted" refers to the special power system of this world, such as the mana of the human race, the blood power of the demon race, etc.
The reason for such differentiated treatment is also Ye Zan's control over firearms. After all, not everyone is loyal to the sect. Especially now, the Internet has made message transmission more convenient, and Ye Zan cannot expose his monitoring of the Internet. Even if he sees someone cheating, he cannot use this as an excuse to deal with the other person.
In addition to firearms, Ye Zan also distributed modified nano-suits to the disciples of the Yuqing Sect. This nano-suit is also no longer an original product of the technological world. It is modified by combining the weapon refining techniques of this world.
Nanosuits in the technological world allow ordinary people to have stronger strength and reactions, while also increasing a certain degree of defense. But just like the firearms in the technological world, the various enhancements provided by the original nano-suit are only for the bodies of ordinary people, and are not very effective for ascetics.
Therefore, Ye Zan combined the art of weapon refining to transform the nano-suit into a magic weapon, giving it a certain degree of defense in terms of spells.
Of course, it is impossible to say that with a nano-suit, a foundation-building monk can fight against an opponent of the level of the Great Demon King. However, often in some battles, disciples with poor cultivation base can easily be affected by the powerful power. The nano-suit can, to a certain extent, protect the disciples from the influence of powerful forces.
At the same time, although the nanosuit has been transformed into a magic weapon, the intelligent auxiliary chip inside has not been cancelled. In other words, the disciples of Yuqing Sect can also get the assistance of smart chips after wearing such nano-suits.
With the help of firearms and nano-suits, the disciples of Yuqing Sect have become almost fully armed soldiers. The strength of each of them may not be comparable to that of an overly powerful enemy, but when it comes to a real war, they will not become a drag. Moreover, even if they are facing the Dragon Clan, facing Dharma-level and Heaven-reaching powers, they may not be able to play any role.
In addition to the ordinary disciples, everyone at the Yuan Shen level who is currently the main force of Yuqing Sect also has equipment issued by Ye Zan.
There are many soul-level figures in the Yuqing Sect, but without any special equipment, I am afraid that no matter how many there are, there will not be enough for the Dragon Clan to take care of them. After all, no matter what, it is impossible to fight against the Yuanshen level. It is not too much to say that the powerful ones at the level of Faxiang and Tongtian are ants.
However, if the Dragon Clan really comes to attack, the only ones who can really make a difference on the Yuqing Sect's side are those at the Yuan Shen level. Further up, there is really no one left. The only one, Xuanyuan Daozu, ran away to the outer world early and can no longer bring out a person of sufficient importance.
Then, Ye Zan can only think of ways to let these soul-level people take the lead.
It's still the same truth. Since one's own strength is insufficient, it can only be made up for by external forces. In order to enable these soul-level people to play a certain role in front of Dharma-level and Tongtian-level figures. Ye Zan also spent a lot of energy and tried every means in terms of weapons and equipment to improve the actual combat power of the soul-level people.
Ordinary disciples still don't know the "origin" between the Yuqing Sect and the Dragon Clan, but everyone at the Yuan Shen level already knows it clearly. Even those casual cultivators who were not of high status and stayed behind to cure the erysipelas knew that they might have to "risk their lives" next.
Although, most people feel unstoppable trembling in their livers after receiving this news. But under the constraints of the oath, they could only bite the bullet, obey the various arrangements made by Ye Zan, and be prepared to fight to the death.
Just like that, another two months passed in the blink of an eye. The dragon clan should have learned enough information and finally started to take action.
