Eternal Country - Chapter 55

Translator: SumTLMan

Early in the morning, Jia Yucun sent the formal military register together with the villagers’ register for Xuan Huang Village to Yi Tianxing. He was very quick in handling the affairs which makes it convenient for Yi Tianxing. Yesterday, after receiving the task, he did not stay for a moment and kept registering people for the records. Under Huang Chengyuan’s guidance, what he did was very well organized. Moreover, among the registered people, each person’s name was followed by his or her skills.

This let Yi Tianxing also secretly nod at the ability of Jia Yucun, giving him a good impression of him. To be able to do this already shows his intent to dedicate himself to the village. There are not many scholars in Xuan Huang Village. The most important thing is that Jia Yucun is not a dead scholar. He has a very flexible mind. Making him a possible focus of cultivation.

It is too much to expect there will only be famous talented people in history. Instead of thinking about unrealistic goals for the time being. It is better to cultivate one’s, own people. As long as there is a chance of giving them experience. These originally ordinary people may not be less than those famous people. The case may be these people may not have had the opportunity to show their talents in the past. Now he can give these people the opportunity to exercise their abilities.

But only now is Yi Tianxing willing to give these people an opportunity. Xuan Huang Village will be promoted as a grassroots effort. There are no rules and regulations yet. All these previous statuses can be pushed aside, making one person not necessarily better than another.

However, the most critical thing now is the army which must be thoroughly established and rectified in order to wield the power and strength of every soldier perfectly.

“Oh, thanks to our lord’s cultivation methods. The < Iron Blood Baleful Qi > is really suitable for my own Qi cultivation. I feel my whole body is now full of strength, and my strength is constantly growing.” When Wang Dahu spoke of this, he grinned and laughed.

It was only when he became a cultivator that he realized how weak he was before. Now he felt he can easily crush his former self with his present strength. This kind of feeling was very wonderful, giving him an unprecedented sense of strength.

“The < Iron Blood Baleful Qi > is most suitable for military personnel to carry out Qi cultivation. The more people who Qi cultivate together, the more baleful Qi agglomerates together. Making the Qi refining grow faster in a group. On the battlefield, the more enemies killed, the lower the threshold becomes for this cultivation method. This is the most suitable Qi cultivation for your Qi cultivation method. As long as you work hard, later on, there will naturally be more opportunities for further development in the future.”

Yi Tianxing smiled and patted Wang Dahu on the shoulder while saying gently.

For his own people, and obviously his own future force, he will not be stingy with his smiles and appreciation at all.

“How many soldiers are there in the barracks now?”

Yi Tianxing asked.

“The number of veterans and recruits who joined the army only yesterday is about 300.” Wang Dahu grabbed his head and answered, but his tone was still a little uncertain.

“There is a total of 315 soldiers in the barracks.”

At this time, Jia Yucun came over and said, “Now there are a total of 785 people in Xuan Huang Village. 315 in the army and 470 civilians. Included are 207 women and 120 children. All of whom are orphans and unable to find their parents. In the course of the catastrophe, they were separated from their parents. Now, they don’t know where to find their parents and they are all still young children. Their ages range from the youngest being five or six years old to ten years old.”

From his mouth, he told him the number of villagers in the entire Xuan Huang Village. The male-to-female ratio and the number of children, which were quickly said out loud. It can be seen that he had done his homework before coming here.

When Yi Tianxing heard this, he took a second look at Jia Yucun. His mind secretly thought: This is a dedicated person, and he is unwilling to be ordinary. He has the ambition to take the lead.

For ambition, he is unafraid. His people had to have their own ideas to build up a momentum for growth. It’s good to have the desire to climb from obscurity. As long as he still within his control, this is a good thing.

However, he did not respond.

Instead, he looked at Wang Dahu and said. “Dahu, now everything in our village has to start anew. We don’t really have any qualified commanders here who can lead these soldiers and warriors. Now, it’s up to you to support this army. For this army, I intend to personally lead, but you will be working under me as my second in command. Work with me in running the military affairs for the army.”

Yi Tianxing opened his mouth and said.

The army, especially in the early stage of its enterprise, can never be easily allowed to hand over the reins of control to someone else. Only by cultivating and controlling it in his hands can he generate enough prestige to receive loyalty from the army.

“Yes, my Lord!!”

Wang Dahu grinned as his eyes filled with excitement. What is this circumstance? This is a promotion. A formal promotion determines his position in the army. He secretly said in his heart: “Sure enough, what my aging mother said was right. As long as I follow the right person and become loyal to them, I will surely come to the forefront.”

“I am promoting the ranks of new commanders in the army. Divided into nine ranks, the most common is soldiers or ordinary soldiers. And up in rank is Sergeant, Staff Sergeant, Platoon Commander, Company Commander, Battalion Commander, Regiment Commander, Army Division Commander, and Legion Commander. Legion Commander is one rank. I’ll let you know later on how to receive these ranks. Now, with more than 300 people, we can set up a Battalion Commander. The Battalion Commander will be you, Wang Dahu.”

“Yes, my Lord!!”

When Wang Dahu heard this, he immediately thanked him excitedly.

Taking charge of the army means that Yi Tianxing completely trusts him and gave him a complete change in status. At least for now, no one in the army will be above his position except for Yi Tianxing.

“On the basis of Qi cultivation for Iron Blood Baleful Qi. Whoever opens up their Divine Sea and becomes a cultivator first will be given priority as a Company Commander, Platoon Commander, Staff Sergeant, and Sergeant. Wait a minute. I’ll give you a detailed explanation of the changes in detail.”

At this time, the system in the army does not exist at all. It is the best time to promote the functions of new positions in the army. He must smash past all the pots and cans and throw them away. So they can start anew with the most suitable and concise system.

“Gentlemen, now that you have become soldiers, you are all brothers. In Xuan Huang Village, there are no so-called power and nobility. Everyone has an opportunity to rise. You should all have inherited the cultivation method for < Iron Blood Baleful Qi > by now. I make a promise to all of you here that whoever opens up a Divine Sea and becomes promoted to the Divine Sea Realm 1st Cycle. They will be given first priority for promotion in the army. Whoever gets the second promotion is the first Company Commander under the Battalion Commander Wang Dahu. There is no threshold, as long as you have the ability, you can get these positions. In the army, heroes are judged by strength.”

Yi Tianxing looked at every soldier in the field. Whether veteran or recruit, his voice falls directly into everyone’s ear.

The effect is also remarkable, many people’s eyes show their unwillingness to look away from his eyes.

There is a strong fervour in their eyes when looking at Yi Tianxing. They believe that Yi Tianxing’s words will be fulfilled and his promises will be kept. Wang Dahu is the best example.

Thousands of pieces of gold to buy horse bones. Although vulgar, is the most effective means.

It is conceivable that in the coming days, all the soldiers will desperately Qi cultivate, hoping to become the next cultivator as quickly as possible. They want to become a commander in the army. To obtain true power.

Yi Tianxing looked at these hopeful faces and lamented to himself: When you have power. What you have to pay is just as great, especially in these troubled times. You will have to pay a price greater than ordinary people. In troubled times, strength is power. I don’t know how many people will be able to make it. This is not only about gaining the power, but also the responsibility.

In this troubled world, big waves wash away the sand. He wants to see who can be left after the waves have receded.

“Ah!”

Just as the matter in the barracks had just come to an end. Suddenly, there was a cry of alarm and screams in the village. This event completely broke the serenity of the morning. Making Xuan Huang Village once again go through a tense atmosphere.

“Dahu, gather your soldiers and go at once to maintain order in the Xuan Huang Village. There must be no disorder.”

When he heard Yi Tianxing, say this, his face immediately changed. Without even thinking about it, he hurried in the direction of the sound.

In one part of the valley, he can only see that some people scattered out while crying in alarm with looks of panic on their faces.

A hole!!

A dark hole appeared in the valley. The mouth of the hole smelled of Sulphur. It was a very pungent smell.

“What’s going on here?”

Standing by the mouth of the hole, Yi Tianxing naturally conveys a baleful breath, the hole was not there before.

“Village head, it was a monster. A huge insect with serrated teeth and a bloody mouth. It can spray out a strange liquid. When the liquid falls onto the body, flesh and blood begin disappearing, leaving only white bones behind. As soon as it came, Elder Zhao was pulled into the hole and swallowed by this monster.”

Someone quickly said to Yi Tianxing.

“A strange insect which can spray venom that corrodes flesh and blood. It travels through the underground. Once this monster ravages through this area, it will be a great disaster for the entire Xuan Huang Village.”

This thought flashed through Yi Tianxing’s mind.

The threat of destruction brought by such a strange insect to the whole Xuan Huang Village is unimaginable. Being able to travel underground, as long as it sneaks up, it can completely collapse the entire Xuan Huang Village. No one knows how many people will die at that point.

At the thought of this, Yi Tianxing’s face became extremely ugly.

On the surface, the enemies in the sky may not have the chance to kill them as long as they have not reach a certain level. But the enemies in the ground do not even leave any tracks. How can they fight and kill them?

The enemy lurking in the dark is terrible.

Brush!!

With a flash of light in his hand, the Wordless Heavenly Book has appeared in front of him. After opening it, the Wordless Heavenly Book naturally captures a trace of breath remaining in the hole and a paragraph of text flashes by.

“Digging Insect Fiend: A hunter from the underground. Cunning, ferocious and violent. It contains and sprays sulfuric acid-like venom and can quickly swallow prey while dragging them into the soil. They have the ability to dig holes, have a tough body, and can regenerate broken limbs. They are extremely vengeful. Once it appears, it will not easily leave an area. This is an extinct creature.”

On the Wordless Heavenly Book, this paragraph of text emerged.

Obviously, it’s a message about the underground insect.

The Wordless Heavenly Book’s ability is amazing. It seems to know everything. Everything encountered, as long as it can be detected. Even Heaven and Earth’s mutations will be captured and presented in the Heavenly Book.
