From all aspects, the war fortress renovated by Ye Zan is still inferior to the Arctic Fairy Palace of Xuanqing Daozu. However, the Arctic Fairy Palace belongs to someone else. Ye Zan has only changed his name to a deacon until now, and Mr. Ta has never said that he is really allowed to inherit this "legacy." In addition, the Arctic Fairy Palace is not as convenient as the War Fortress. You can drive directly there wherever you want, otherwise it would not be still in the Arctic Icefield.
In fact, Ye Zan has not only not completely inherited the Arctic Immortal Palace, but he has not even fully grasped all the secrets inside. Let's just say that when he first explored the Immortal Palace, he took the path of Jindan and Nascent Soul based on his cultivation in the Jindan realm, while Mo Rushi and others took the path of Yuanshen and Dharma. After exploring, he finally "acquired" the Immortal Palace, but he did not take the path of Yuanshen and Dharma again.
Moreover, the tests that I went through when I first explored the Asgard were only a very small setting of the Asgard, and could be regarded as an integral part of greeting guests. Those tests are like when people visit some shopping malls, there is a special place for children to play, so that parents with children can concentrate on "shopping." Compared to the entire shopping mall, the small children's paradise used to entertain children can only be regarded as a very small part of the shopping mall in every aspect.
Now, with Ye Zan's strength, although it cannot be said that he no longer cares about the secrets of the Arctic Fairy Palace, there is indeed no urgent need to master it. Perhaps, in the Arctic Immortal Palace, there is something related to the immortal way. After all, Taoist Xuanqing is also in the realm of earthly immortals and can be called an immortal. However, Ye Zan is not in the Yuanshen realm and is still far from being an Earth Immortal. What's the use of mastering it now.
In particular, Ye Zan once heard from Xuanyuan Daozu's calculation that the other three Xuanzi generation Daozus probably did not die in that catastrophe. In other words, if Taoist Xuanqing really comes back one day, this Arctic Immortal Palace will still belong to others, and Ye Zan will never be the real master.
Of course, Ye Zan is not like that, in order to become the true master of the Arctic Immortal Palace, he hopes that Taoist Xuanqing will not come back. It's just that as a person from the world of science and technology, there is always an inexplicable barrier between him and the various aspects of this world. For example, although he has a certain sense of identification with the Yuqing Sect, he will never be willing to "dedicate his life" to the Yuqing Sect like Mo Rushi and Wu Changsheng.
This is probably because of three views. After all, Ye Zan is not a native of this world, and he does not even agree with the concept of "once a teacher, always a father". Of course, this is not what some people think in black and white: not to regard Master as a father, but to regard Master as an enemy.
In short, for Ye Zan, having a fortress that is completely his own and can be modified and used by himself is far better than inheriting a cave fairy palace passed down by others. Moreover, even if one day, he really completely inherits the North Pole Fairy Palace, I am afraid that he will not move his family to the Fairy Palace, but "move" the Fairy Palace to the fortress.
The appearance of the transformed war fortress did not actually change much from before. It was only because the armor material was changed to jade-like bone armor that it seemed to have completely changed its appearance. The internal structure of the fortress also did not change much, except for the addition of some necessary settings for the magic circle.
Especially in terms of regional division, each area on the War Fortress still maintains its original appearance of industrial areas and residential areas. After all, there aren't many people on Ye Zan's side, so it's impossible to really treat the War Fortress as a city in the sky and let too many people live there. Moreover, if we encounter a strong enemy, the "ground" of this fortress will definitely face the threat. Hiring a large number of ineffective and useless people will not only not increase the combat effectiveness of the war fortress, but will even become a burden.
In addition, in addition to using the corpses of evil spirits from outside the world to greatly improve the defense of the war fortress. Ye Zan has not forgotten the principle of "defending for a long time will inevitably lead to loss", and has also made some complete adjustments in terms of the attack power of the war fortress.
Ye Zan introduced a suspended turret system into the war fortress, and used the corpse materials of demons from outside the world to comprehensively update the fortress's weapon defense system. There are also those magic light cannons in the war fortress. While they also increase their defense capabilities, they also have further improved their attack power with the blessing of the power of evil spirits from outside.
As long as Ye Zan gives an order, the gun doors of the war fortress will be opened wide, and the floating turrets will guard the fortress like satellites. Whether it's long-range or short-range, whether it's individuals or groups, various attack modes are included, and there are also focused fire modes and formation modes for the enemy to enjoy.
If Ye Zan had a war fortress like this when the dragons invaded, there would probably be no need for any stratagem at all, and they could just go out and bombard them. Even if the Dragon Clan has many heaven-reaching powers, it will only become a fantasy to break through the defense of the war fortress.
This is not an exaggeration. After all, the armor used by the War Fortress comes from the True Immortal Level Demon from Heaven, which is enough to make the War Fortress invincible. And those powerful dragons don't have the ability to withstand the attack of this fortress. Facing such an opponent with a hard shell and full of thorns, those powerful dragons would only break their heads and bleed.
Of course, Ye Zan drove the renovated war fortress out of the small world not to show off his power in front of Mo Rushi and others. Therefore, after he opened the war fortress, he did not show everything about the fortress. Otherwise, in the eyes of Mo Rushi and others, the war fortress would not have "immortal energy" but "evil energy".
After the war fortress emerged from the small world, the last step left for Ye Zan was to integrate the small world and the fortress into one. This combination into one is not really indivisible, it is just a defensive measure using the small world as a fortress. In other words, if other defenses fail, he can still introduce intruders into the small world. In the small world, he, the ruler of the world, almost has an absolute advantage, and even the Supreme Being has to bow down.
Maybe some people have said, you are so invincible when it comes to defending that system, why are you still worried about the defense failing? After all, nothing is absolute in this world. As the saying goes, "Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the worst." No one can prevent all accidents. Whether they are cultivators or demons from outside the world, there will always be some people who are good at weird means. Even if no one can break through those defenses, it doesn't necessarily mean that no one can sneak into the fortress.
What Ye Zan did was actually to superimpose the space of the small world with the space of the fortress to some extent. In other words, being in the fortress is equivalent to being in a double space. If something goes wrong, you will enter the small world from the fortress. Although this defensive measure still cannot be said to be 100% safe, it is an extra layer of protection after all.
Let’s not mention the final touches from Ye Zan’s side, let’s talk about the changes in Yuqing Sect in the past ten years.
In the past ten years, of course, not only Ye Zan's war fortress has changed its appearance, but the Jade Qing Sect has also developed compared to before. However, for a monastic sect, ten years is not enough to change much, even if it has almost inexhaustible monastic resources.
The true foundation of a monastic sect still lies in people. No matter how many monastic resources it has, it ultimately needs to be transformed by people in order to finally reflect its value.
The Yuqing Sect has indeed developed in the past ten years. The number of disciples is several times that of before, and it can be regarded as a large sect. However, no matter how talented the newly recruited disciples are and no matter how abundant their resources are, their achievements in ten years will be limited.
It is already an incredible achievement for a disciple to be able to successfully advance to the Golden Core Realm after ten years of entry. And for a sect, how important can the Golden elixir master be? After all, the Yuqing Sect today is no longer the third-rate sect it once was.
The heritage of those cultivating sects usually refers not only to how many good things their ancestors left behind, but also to whether the strength structure of their disciples is healthy. For example, in the Qingyue Sword Sect, although there is a Qinghong Dao Lord, there has never been anyone in the Yuanshen realm. This is an unhealthy structure and the result of insufficient foundation.
The Yuqing Sect has accepted many disciples in the past ten years, and among them there are many people who can be called geniuses. It is no exaggeration to say that there are many geniuses. But geniuses also need time to grow, and they need to step up from the beginning of Qi refining, and eventually become the true pillar of the Yuqing Sect. Only when one day the Yuqing Sect can produce talents in large numbers at all levels can it truly be considered to have a foundation.
Otherwise, let’s talk about the Qingyue Sword Sect, why does Qinghong Daojun not go to the outer world? If Qinghong Daojun leaves, given the current situation of the Qingyue Sword Sect, wouldn't it be immediately beaten back to what it was many years ago and become a second- and third-rate sect with no confidence? To the Qingyue Sword Sect, Qinghong Daojun, the Faxiang Daojun, is just a castle in the air that forcibly raises the sect's level. There is a four-story building, but there is no third floor. Once the fourth floor disappears, it immediately becomes a two-story building.
This is the situation of Yuqing Sect. Although the various external assistance is very strong, it has not yet formed a healthy development structure. Excluding Ye Ping'an, those guest elders, and those allies with powerful Dharma signs, one's own strength is actually quite weak.
Of course, this is only ten years. If the Yuqing Sect maintains this momentum for another ten or twenty years, it will not be difficult to enter a virtuous cycle of development.
It can be said that for today's Yuqing Sect, the main problem is only a matter of time. With enough cultivation resources and enough sources of disciples, the next thing to do is to develop steadily. At this point, both Ye Zan and Mo Rushi and others could foresee it, so naturally they would not be anxious about it.
I think back then, the Yuqing Sect was just a Yuanying, struggling to maintain itself with three golden elixirs, and had to be squeezed and suppressed by other sects. Now, although the Yuqing Sect doesn't have many Yuanshen and Yuanying, those in the Golden Core realm are no longer so rare. There are twenty or thirty people in total. Even if only half of these twenty or thirty golden elixir masters can be promoted to Nascent Soul, there are still more than a dozen. Then, if nothing unexpected happens, half of them will be promoted to the Yuanshen realm, and this development structure will be complete to a certain extent.
For the development of the Yuqing Sect, Ye Zan was not stingy, not only giving the Yuqing Sect a large amount of materials traded from the wilderness. Even with the corpse of the demon outside the world, Ye Zan didn't plunk it down like a miser. At most, he didn't let more people know about it.
For example, no one knows that the spring water used in the Jade Qing Sect's medicinal herb field is actually soaked in the flesh and blood of demons from outside the world. No one knows that the soil under those spiritual grasses is also mixed with impurities and residues from the corpses of evil spirits from outside the world. Everyone just felt that in the past ten years, the spiritual grass in the medicine field had grown surprisingly well, which was the result of Yu Qingzong's luck.
Of course, from a certain perspective, Yuqingzong is indeed blessed by luck, otherwise why would others not have these developments and changes.
Speaking of which, it must be said that the flesh and blood accounted for a large proportion of the corpses of the evil spirits outside that day. After all, the corpse of the demon outside the world was not turned into white bones. Not only the skin and bones were intact, but also the muscles and fat were preserved. Those flesh and blood also contain huge amounts of energy, but they don't have the same characteristics as skin and bones, so naturally they can't be used for the same purpose.
As for "eating", there is no ethical problem. Anyway, the evil spirits outside the world are not the same kind as the human race in this world. To put it mildly, the evil spirits outside the world treat the humans in this world as beasts, and the humans in this world also do not treat each other as human beings. Therefore, eating the flesh of evil spirits outside the world is like eating the flesh of wild beasts, or at best, eating the flesh of wild beasts.
However, because the flesh and blood of evil spirits outside the world contains too much energy, and that energy does not belong to this world, eating it by cultivators in this world is tantamount to committing suicide by taking poison. Therefore, the best use is to use the flesh and blood of demons from outside the world as fertilizer to grow those spiritual herbs. Just like farmers farming, manure cannot be eaten, but it can be used to fertilize the fields and grow edible food.
However, if you use the flesh and blood of demons from outside the world as fertilizer, you cannot just bury the flesh and blood in the ground. That was a true immortal-level existence. The energy in his flesh and blood was huge and overbearing. Even ordinary spiritual grass could not withstand such power. Therefore, there was a method of soaking the flesh and blood with spring water first, and then using the spring water to water the spiritual grass.
And this kind of usage has indeed produced a good effect, turning the Yuqing Sect's medicine field into a legendary fairyland. In the past ten years, Yuqingzong's medicinal fields have not only produced better quality spiritual herbs, but also grown much faster.
The flesh, flesh, skin and bones of the demon outside the world have been put to the best use, so what is left is the internal organs.
