Chapter 640: The transfer of power and the award of rewards are all acting
Wen Rui cooperated very well throughout the whole process and did not hesitate to hand over his military power without hesitation. Then he withdrew silently, as if he had always been a loyal and easy-to-talk-to minister.
Without him, the biggest obstacle to forming a coalition, even the Jade Emperor couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Wen Rui temporarily took over the position of Heavenly Army Marshal Yuan for only ten years at most. For a god, ten years is like a flash of lightning, a blink of an eye, very short.
This is also one of the reasons why the Jade Emperor dared to give such an important position to Wen Rui.
I thought that no matter how much this kid did in ten years, he wouldn't be able to make much waves. It would be impossible for him to subdue a group of arrogant and powerful generals and turn the Tian Army into the Wen family's private army.
But the development of things was far beyond the Jade Emperor's expectations.
In the past hundred years, he was too lazy to learn about the situation of the Heavenly Army. Thanks to Li Jing, the little snitch who came to report every day, the Jade Emperor has a stronger grasp on the morale of the Heavenly Army than ever before.
On the first day Wen Rui took over the Heavenly Army, he defeated an army of 100,000 with his absolutely overwhelming strength.
The strong are respected in the army. If the entire army cannot defeat the commander-in-chief, then who dares to disobey the commander-in-chief's orders?
Does the coach need you, a one in a hundred thousand defeated general, to help him attack the city?
Arrogant and brave generals?
What is there to be proud of?
You can't even resist the coach who is only one hundred thousandth of his level. What's the use of you?
This is just the beginning. When the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers are equipped to every soldier, the soldiers' understanding of war will undergo a drastic change.
The strength of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals can no longer be divided by their cultivation realm. A heavenly general like the Giant Spirit, who is originally powerful, is likely to be defeated when encountering a small soldier of the heavenly army who has high points and higher authority.
Whoever has higher authority over the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers and is more proficient in using them will be more powerful.
It’s not that trying to improve your realm is useless.
But all the soldiers and generals in the heavenly army have become gods. After becoming gods, it is extremely difficult to improve their realm. Without a thousand years of hard work, there is no way to improve from the celestial fairyland to the true fairyland.
As for the promotion from a True Immortal to a Golden Immortal, that depends on chance, otherwise ten thousand years of hard practice will be in vain.
However, the Ruyi Immortal Weapon can bridge the realm gap between celestial immortals and true immortals in a short period of time, and bring about a huge improvement within this range.
This is just like in the real world, no matter how good your martial arts skills are, you are still afraid of a kitchen knife. Everyone practices martial arts, even if some are amateurs and some are UFC champions, the difference in strength is obvious in hand-to-hand combat.
But everyone has an AK. No matter how good your boxing and wrestling skills are, or even if you are crowned heavyweight champion, if you face a fighting enthusiast who is a hundred times better at shooting than you, your end will be a headshot.
In ten years, the combat effectiveness of the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals equipped with Ruyi Immortal Soldiers increased greatly, which was equivalent to elevating the heavenly soldiers, which were previously of varying quality and most of whom were at the bottom of the celestial immortal realm, to the peak of true immortals.
This is not counting the fact that the Ruyi Immortal Soldiers have a cooperative combat mode. Three soldiers equipped with the Immortal Soldiers can form a Sancai Formation, five can form a Wuxing Formation, seven can form a Beidou Formation, eight can form a Bagua Formation, thirty-six can form a Tiangang Formation, seventy-two can form a Disha Formation, ninety-nine can form a Guiyi Formation, and three hundred and sixty-five can form a Zhoutian Xingdou Formation...
And so on, the more people there are, the stronger the formation that can be formed. Eventually, all 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals join together to form the Formation of Ten Thousand Immortals.
Although the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation seemed to perform poorly in the Conferred Gods War, the main force that broke the formation was after all a number of saints, and in fact it was also a super strong formation that ranked among the top in the Three Realms and Nine Provinces. The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, which was a heavenly soldier and general version, was enough to contend with the Golden Immortals. It was not that 100,000 could contend with one Golden Immortal, but that 100,000 could resist the same number of Golden Immortals without the blessing of formations and powerful magic weapons.
Of course, winning is impossible because the gap in realm is too big, and both sides are doomed to lose in a battle of consumption and can only hold out for a period of time.
Even so, the combat power is already quite astonishing. Compared with it, the Five Hundred Arhat Formation of the Western Religion has barely equal defense power, and its attack power is far inferior.
If the monkey causes trouble in the Heavenly Palace again in the future, the Heavenly Army can probably easily suppress it by sending out the force of a police station, so there is no need to ask Yang Jian to take action.
The Jade Emperor was both happy and worried about the improvement in the combat effectiveness of the Heavenly Army. He was happy because he no longer had to worry about a powerful man breaking through the defensive positions of a hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals and rushing to the Lingxiao Palace to carry out a decapitation operation.
What worried him was that when he thought that this powerful man might be Wen Rui, he felt that the throne under his seat was a little hot on his butt.
This time, the Western religion took the initiative to come to seek cooperation and begged the Heavenly Court to send troops to form a coalition. This was also related to the leak of the news that the Heavenly Army’s combat effectiveness had been enhanced.
It was no secret that the Heavenly Palace had long been infiltrated by Western religions. The Jade Emperor even suspected that Li Jing would write secret letters to his two sons who had joined the Western religion before reporting to him.
The time when Tathagata knows the situation of the heavenly army every day is probably several hours earlier than that of the Jade Emperor.
If the Heavenly Army was still at the same poor level as it was ten years ago, the Western Church would rather send out troops alone than bring along 100,000 pig teammates. Even 100,000 pigs are more useful than 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Generals. After all, 100,000 pigs will take a while to eat the mosquitoes in the Netherworld's blood sea and can delay the enemy's offensive.
If the 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals were defeated and fled, not only would they run faster than pigs, but they would also disrupt the formation of the Western religious monks, which would help the enemy to take advantage of the situation and break the formation.
Approaching Heaven to discuss cooperation is the best solution for Western religions. The strengthened Heavenly Army can share a great deal of pressure and enhance the alliance relationship between the two sides. If the war goes smoothly, it is really possible to kill all the demons in the Netherworld Blood Sea and take back the swallowed Third Grade Merit Golden Lotus.
Wen Rui spent ten years of time and effort to transform a group of rabble into the most powerful army in the world. However, the Jade Emperor took advantage of him just after the army was formed. Putting himself in his shoes, the Jade Emperor would also be worried that Wen Rui would not be willing to hand over power.
I never thought he was so tactful and handed over power so readily, as if he had no ambition at all.
"My dear Mr. Wen, thank you for your hard work over the past ten years."
The Jade Emperor's attitude changed significantly, and his tone became a little softer: "Although it is just a small matter of changing the uniforms of the army, considering your loyalty and understanding of the overall situation, I will reward you with a thousand golden pills, a thousand pieces of heavenly silk brocade, and ten thousand pounds of fairy jade."
Wen Rui sneered, tilted his head, bowed his hands, and said perfunctorily: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."
Although he already knew it in his mind, Wen Rui couldn't help but complain in his heart and cursed: He's so fucking stingy!
On the surface, he only supervised the manufacture of heavenly army weapons and completed the replacement of equipment, but in fact, it was equivalent to rebuilding the combat system of 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, and transforming a feudal cold weapon unit into a modern infantry corps. This was only when the authority of Ruyi Immortal Soldiers was only open to the light infantry equipment stage.
If it was Li Jing, this loyal dog, who accomplished such a great feat, the Jade Emperor would have wanted to promote him directly to the position of Heavenly Venerable.
Wen Rui was too lazy to argue with the Jade Emperor for such a small fortune. He had already taken all the benefits he deserved, so he could get as much as he wanted.
Moreover, those 100,000 Ruyi Immortal Soldiers, nominally the weapons of the heavenly soldiers and generals, the ultimate control is still in the hands of Wen Rui. With just a thought, he can make these weapons disperse and transform into immortal-grade nano-unit golden mist, and construct an immortal-grade nano-Ultron robot army by himself.
