I Have A Cultivation World

Chapter 1866: Chapter 927: The Army Is Mobilized (Part 4)

Wenren Xuewei’s casual attitude of contention actually earned a great favor from Qi Yuheng.

After the ownership of the Three Great Dao Palaces was established, the most important person was still needed.

The Immortal Gate has ten great military regions and a million cultivators.

Narcissus dispatched two hundred thousand, but at that time, she only launched four Star Space Battleships, whereas this time, Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger directly set out with seven full ships, thus understandably desiring more military cultivators.

Chen Mobai, utilizing his position as the leader of the Hall of Orthodox Law, argued that the military cultivators should be under his command to ensure the utmost effectiveness and requested forty thousand cultivators.

This demand was naturally rejected in concert by Xianwu Hall and Kaiyuan Hall.

After some debate among the three, they ended in discord.

Following the conclusion of the conference, the three gathered once more during the Nascent Soul minor meeting, ultimately determining the numbers for the cultivator armies of the Three Great Dao Palaces.

Chen Mobai and Qi Yuheng each took twenty-five thousand while the remaining thirty thousand were assigned to Ying Guanghua for home defense.

Yet after this decision, Chen Mobai immediately called the various factions of the Military Department, requesting the most elite soldiers from their military sectors be transferred first to him.

The Orthodox Law Hall Master indeed holds such authority, and even if Ying Guanghua and Qi Yuheng became aware, nothing could be said, for these individuals are regularly trained by the Hall of Orthodox Law.

Once the Three Great Dao Palaces were activated, Chen Mobai frequently led Vermilion Dao Palace in maneuvers beyond the Earth Element Star, perpetually stationed outside the portal, to ensure swift response to any occurrences from the Dragon God Star.

However, he soon realized that his military leadership, compared to his magic duel skills, was not particularly outstanding.

Under the Immortal Gate’s system, he only needed to know how to utilize people.

It happened that he discovered Zhongli Tianyu had some talent in military command; upon hearing about the upcoming war, the latter voluntarily abandoned his position as Enforcement Department Director to join the ranks of the Vermilion Dao Palace’s cultivator army.

Regarding this, the clan leader of the Zhongli Family, one of the military department’s factions, Zhongli Zheng, was vigorously supportive.

After all, it’s widely known how difficult it is to acquire resources within the Immortal Gate. If one can perform exceptionally in the war, then after it’s over, with Chen Mobai promoted to Orthodox Law Hall Master based on military merit, wouldn’t Zhongli Tianyu’s position be Vice Hall Master?

Thus, Zhongli Tianyu enlisted not only due to personal preference but also for familial reasons.

Chen Mobai naturally did not object; after all, the more Golden Core Masters within the army, the better.

Moreover, he quickly discovered that Zhongli Tianyu, worthy of his lineage in a military family, was adept in deploying troops and formations, rehearsing formations, commanding Star Space Battleships, even versed in the Southern Heavenly Gate’s Flame of Ten Thousand Ravens, Vermilion Bird Immortal Armor, and others.

His claim was that the Bagua Mirror has memories of these things.

Later, Chen Mobai learned that the Four Symbols Dao Palace was only perfected under the hands of Zhongli Ancestral Patriarch; previously, they were merely war artifacts cloned from Lingxiao Palace by the Immortal Gate.

Zhongli Ancestral Patriarch laid the foundation on the Four Symbols and Twenty-Eight Lodgings, configured Star Space Battleships, and the Four Great Heavenly Gates, researching Star Constellation Immortal Armor when Nascent Soul cultivators were in short supply.

Thus, when Zhongli Tianyu encountered these things, a familiar sensation instinctively surfaced in his mind.

“In that case, I’ll give you a chance. If Vermilion Dao Palace goes to battle, I’ll entrust it to your command. If victory continues to be yours, command will remain yours; should there be a single defeat, I shall personally lead.”

On this day, after rehearsing with Zhongli Tianyu, Chen Mobai expressed optimism and spoke these words.

“Thank you for your kind favor, Master!”

The Zhongli clan leader immediately expressed gratitude.

If Zhongli Tianyu could command, even if the majority of military merits post-war belonged to Chen Mobai, Zhongli Tianyu would undoubtedly receive his share.

It was practically grooming Zhongli Tianyu as the future Vice Hall Master of the Orthodox Law Hall.

At this moment, the Zhongli clan leader felt immensely fortunate for directing Zhongli Tianyu to the Dance Tool Dao Academy instead of Kunpeng; otherwise, how could he have joined forces with the Pure Yang Master?

“As long as I’m here, you will never have the opportunity to act!”

Zhongli Tianyu, however, declared confidently.

[Good, what’s wanted is for no need to act!] Chen Mobai secretly acclaimed in his heart, yet outwardly displayed an encouraging demeanor towards the younger generation.

Time passed, another two years went by.

Under the guidance of various Nascent Souls, the Immortal Gate has already established several bases on the Dragon God Star, some for mining, some for collecting specimens, others for uncovering and translating the civilization and history of Dragon God Star.

During this process, at bases across the Immortal Gate, it was frequent for the sandy earth to crack open with emerging insect beast assaults.

Xuanwu Dao Palace guards the meteor crater, Narcissus dispatches Star Space Battleships to shield various bases, securing the Immortal Gate’s acquisition of resources from this planet.

Among these, the remaining three Star Space Battleships from Xuanwu Dao Palace have also been sent to Narcissus, and thanks to Yuan Xu and other Nascent Soul cultivators, while the Immortal Gate’s development of the Dragon God Star occasionally experiences setbacks, it remains within control.

Throughout the developmental process, it was found that the metal veins underground have largely been devoured by insect beasts; even those present are fragmented and hollow.

Instead, the earth attribute minerals mostly remained preserved.

Moreover, that which delighted the Immortal Gate was the sea territory of Dragon God Star; though its life forms were extinct, the ocean resources were largely intact.

The Immortal Gate excavated minerals similar to Spirit Stones, which contained earth and water spiritual energy, translated from Dragon God Star’s murals, they termed them as Elemental Crystals, possessing various types.

Only after the Star Devourer descended, there remained only earth and water attribute Elemental Crystals.

With this information, the Three Extremes Sage of the Immortal Gate researched the insect beasts from a different world, achieving significant discoveries.

These insect beasts’ genes stem from a single source, indeed indicating a single origin and were born from the same matriarch body, with abundant inner gold and fire energy, which clearly inclines them to devour metal veins. Within the core deepest, there exists limitless Yuan Magnetic Force and Earth-Core True Fire, under which the Matriarch advanced and developed such vast nests.

The Three Extremes Sage suspects that the Matriarch has consumed the planet’s core thoroughly. If so, it might exceed even the Divinity Transformation Realm.

Upon discovering this, the Immortal Gate became further apprehensive.

If it surpasses Divinity Transformation, can Lingxiao Palace even resolve it?

Shortly thereafter, the Three Extremes Sage analyzed the genome arrangements and comparisons of various insect beasts at the Immortal Gate, pinpointing the closest primitive form to the Star Devourer insect beasts.

It was a type of ant.
