#477 - Millions of Immortal Powers, Summoned by the Heavenly Master

"Kill two True Immortal Realm ninth-level ancient demons, five eighth-level ancient demons, and nine seventh-level ancient demons..."

In the courtyard, Shi Tianjing sat in the first seat with his sword drawn, and reviewed his immortal skills. When the end came, he showed a satisfied smile on his face and said:

"Finally, I don't have to stay in the Wildfire Army to train new recruits. With the immortal skills I accumulated previously, a total of 200,000, plus my cultivation of the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm, I can apply to join the Peacock Army!"

Hearing his words, several veterans showed envy in their eyes and congratulated him one after another.

If one joins the Peacock Army and returns to the inner realm of the Immortal Dynasty during his service on leave, his status will be comparable to that of the elders of the Four Heavenly Sects (Immortal Lord Realm).

After all, the Peacock Army represents the royal family of the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty, who cannot be offended. Even the elders of the four Tian sects who are one level higher than them have to give them some face.

In addition, if one goes to arrange a marriage, the target will at least be the legitimate daughter of a thousand-year-old family, or the daughter of a garrison commander of each immortal city or county.

The other newcomers were a little slow to react, but when they saw the fawning looks of the veterans, they all followed suit and started to flatter.

In the world of cultivation, one must fight alone, but also deal with the ways of the world, and this is true for all sects and dynasties.

"Xiao Qi, what about you? You killed a lot this time, right?"

Shi Tianjin looked at the young man sitting next to him.

Although this young man is a new recruit, it was thanks to him that his camp was able to hunt down so many ancient demons during this expedition. Otherwise, his immortal power might have been reduced by 10,000 or 20,000.

"Well, more than 100,000."

Huo Xiaoqi nodded, but his expression was relatively calm.

"With more than 100,000 immortal skills and your cultivation, you are enough to join the Tiger and Lion Army. If you work harder, you can also join the Peacock Army!"

Shi Tianjin laughed and patted his shoulder. After getting along for several months, he had already regarded Huo Xiaoqi as one of his important network resources. He had shown goodwill to him many times, and their relationship could be considered friends.

The others looked at Huo Xiaoqi with envy in their eyes. He had achieved so many immortal merits just after arriving. They had seen the treasures in the warehouse where those immortal merits were exchanged. These more than 100,000 immortal merits were enough to exchange for a lot of cultivation resources.

Huo Xiaoqi didn't feel happy after hearing Shi Tianjin's words. He came here not to join the Peacock Army, but to train himself and prepare for the battle in the South Region ten years later.

Of course, if you can accomplish some great feats and gain a higher position in the military, that would also be a good approach.

However, at this moment, he couldn't help but think of that figure.

If he were still here...

Knock knock.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Everyone turned around and looked outside the courtyard gate, and saw a young man standing at the gate. He knocked on the door gently, and then walked in slowly.

"Chong Er?"

When everyone saw Li Hao's face, they were stunned and their eyes widened in shock.

Shi Tianjin, who was sitting on a chair with legs wide open, stood up suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, then a smile quickly appeared on his face. He walked over quickly and said,

"Chong Er, you're back. That's great. We haven't seen you for a few months. We were so worried. We thought you had an accident!"

Li Hao ignored the enthusiasm on his face, and seeing Huo Xiaoqi was there, he nodded to him.

After several months, Huo Xiaoqi's aura was obviously calmer than before, revealing a sharp and fierce spirit.

Seeing Li Hao, Huo Xiaoqi was stunned, but he quickly reacted. He came to Li Hao in a flash and couldn't help but say:

"Where have you been these past few months? I thought you were too radical and were targeted by the leader of the ancient demons!"

Being too dazzling on the battlefield, it is not surprising that he was killed by the enemy's main general. This is also one of the reasons why Tianjiao dare not set foot on the battlefield easily, as accidents may occur at any time.

Li Hao smiled, the situation was similar, he said: "There were some minor changes, but overall it's okay."

Shi Tianjin showed a trace of embarrassment when he saw that Li Hao ignored him. When Li Hao arrived before, he simply ignored this little guy in the third level of True Immortal Realm and was too lazy to pay attention to him, treating him as a dead man. Now that he was ignored by the other party, he could only feel disappointed.

"We haven't had the chance to thank you properly for saving us before. Come on, sit down."

Shi Tianjin greeted Li Hao warmly without showing his dissatisfaction. He wanted to make friends with Li Hao and become his own network resource.

Li Hao did not hesitate to sit down and found that the number of people in the courtyard was obviously half less than before. He could not even recognize the appearance of the missing people. This might be the cruelty of the border war.

"In the past few months, with the strength of Brother Chong Er, I believe he must have accumulated a lot of immortal power, probably hundreds of thousands!"

Shi Tianjin said with a smile and poured tea for Li Hao.

Li Hao tapped the table with his fingers to thank him, but he didn't drink. Instead, he looked at Huo Xiaoqi: "What about you?"

"No comparison with you."

Huo Xiaoqi shook his head and looked at Li Hao with complicated eyes. He had calmed down from the surprise and excitement when he first saw them. He just recalled the strength Li Hao showed when he saved them before. He whispered: "With your cultivation level, are you a disciple of the Heavenly Palace?"

Li Hao shook his head, thinking of the Southern Region Battle the other party mentioned, and said with a smile: "Wait until the Southern Region Battle, and you will know."

Huo Xiaoqi couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking back to when the young man asked him, he had given the same answer.

Shi Tianjin saw that Li Hao had no intention of making friends with him, and a hint of anger flashed in his eyes, but he was full of smiles and said:

"Brother Chong Er, with your talent, I can recommend you to the Demon Subduing Division. I have a brother who serves as a Demon Subduing Guard there."

After hearing his words, everyone else looked at Shi Tianjin in surprise. They didn't expect that he had connections with the Demon Subduing Division.

The corner of Shi Tianjin's mouth curled up slightly. Since Li Hao didn't think highly of him, he could only use his relationship with the Demon Subduing Division.

Although the brother he was talking about was just an acquaintance of his, who would know about this?

Li Hao's eyes moved slightly. Demon Subduing Guard? The senior brother Ji Qingxuan from before seemed to be the Demon Subduing Guard.

"how?"

Shi Tianjin asked proudly.

Li Hao shook his head, "Not interested."

Shi Tianjin was stunned, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face, and he felt a little ashamed in his heart.

Huo Xiaoqi shook his head secretly, knowing that with Li Hao's talent, it was impossible for him to be tempted by the Demon Subduing Division. Besides, if he really wanted to join the Demon Subduing Division, there were many ways to do it. He changed the subject and asked:

"How much immortal power do you have?"

"I haven't counted them yet."

Li Hao picked up his identity token and said, "Let me take a look."

He separated a part of his spiritual consciousness and penetrated into the token, and began to sort out his immortal skills.

Shi Tianjin's eyes showed a trace of envy and anger. If he had known that Li Hao had such a strong fighting ability, he should not have agreed when Li Hao said he wanted to act alone. In this way, the immortal skills obtained by Li Hao would need to be distributed in the battle camp, and he could get half of it for free.

With Li Hao's level of cultivation, if he worked hard enough, he might even be able to accumulate hundreds of thousands of immortal powers in a few months!

Thinking of him makes my heart ache.

When the others saw Li Hao practicing his immortal skills, they all stopped what they were doing and looked at the young man intently, with curiosity in their eyes.

After a while.

Li Hao's spiritual consciousness cleared the ancient demon marrow absorbed into the identity token, and the number of immortal powers he finally obtained surprised even Li Hao himself.

"How many?"

When Shi Tianjin saw Li Hao put down the token, he couldn't help but ask first.

Li Hao saw Huo Xiaoqi's curious look and said, "1.37 million immortal skills."

A moment of silence.

The courtyard seemed to be suddenly frozen, without a single sound.

It was like a falling leaf blowing by, breaking the silence. Shi Tianjin's eyes almost popped out and he asked in shock, "How many?!"

Huo Xiaoqi was also stunned. He opened his mouth wide and looked at Li Hao in astonishment.

At first, he followed Shi Tianjing to hunt ancient demons, but later, like Li Hao, he chose to fight alone. Only then did he accumulate 100,000 immortal skills, while Li Hao's was... 1.37 million? !

How many ancient demons must be killed to obtain so many immortal powers?

You know, in this dangerous battlefield, if we only talk about cultivation, an ancient demon at the tenth level of the True Immortal Realm can easily sweep away an ancient demon at the first level of the True Immortal Realm, and can continuously accumulate immortal power.

But in fact this is not the case. First of all, the ancient demons will form a large formation, such as the original fairy formation condensed by the Peacock Army, which is enough to fight across the border.

Moreover, when a being that can disrupt the battle situation appears somewhere on the battlefield, there will be a corresponding, or even stronger being to suppress and kill it. It is not difficult to simply kill the ancient demon, but it is very difficult to survive while killing the ancient demon!

And Li Hao accumulated 1.37 million immortal powers and was able to come back alive, which is extremely terrifying!

"This, this immortal skill, even if you apply to join the Chuxian Army, you can get in, right?"

"How many ancient demons will have to be killed? Are they lying down for you to kill?"

Others also looked at Li Hao in shock, unable to believe it.

After just one battle, the new recruit in front of them seemed to have entered a completely different world from them.

Shi Tianjin also came back to his senses and stared at Li Hao's face to make sure that the young man was not lying. His eyes became a little red. If he had not agreed to Li Hao's departure at the beginning, he could have directly obtained nearly 700,000 immortal powers for free!

So many immortal skills are enough for him to join the Dragon War Army, and he can also exchange them for a full set of immortal weapons and armor, greatly improving his combat power!

His breathing became heavy, his throat felt tight, and he felt regretful.

When everyone was shocked, suddenly, two sounds of breaking air were heard outside the courtyard gate.

Then, the gate was knocked again.

Two young men in black robes and black pointed helmets stood at the gate of the courtyard. They looked around with contempt and cold murderous intent in their eyes. They said coldly:

"Who is Chong Er?"

Li Hao looked back with everyone else. When he saw clearly how the two men were dressed, Shi Tianjin's heart skipped a beat and his face changed.

"Demon Subduing Guard!"

"Why are the Demon Subduing Guards here?"

"Could it be that Captain Shi just said he would introduce him? But this is coming too soon..."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Shi Tianjin, then at Li Hao, with some doubt.

Shi Tianjin's heart was also pounding. He hadn't notified that "brother" yet.

"It's me, who are you?"

Li Hao stood up and looked at the two Demon-Subduing Guards with a frown. He felt that the other party was coming with great force and it didn't seem to be a good thing.

However, just as he had this thought, the two young men in front of him saw Li Hao stand up, and the coldness and murderous aura in their eyes disappeared immediately. They smiled, bowed slightly, and said:

"Mr. Chong Er, I am here to summon you by the order of the Heavenly Master. Please follow me to see the Heavenly Master."

Li Hao was slightly startled, and immediately thought of what Mi Xueyao said when they parted.

Could that heavenly master be the old man who fought against the king of the Dijiang clan on the battlefield?

Why would the other party summon me?

Li Hao's mind was full of thoughts, but he couldn't figure it out. Could it be that he was regarded as a spy because he was walking with Mi Xueyao?

But he had no guilt in his heart and was not afraid, unless the other party was indiscriminate.

"good."

Li Hao agreed and walked up to the two of them.

Shi Tianjin and the others were all stunned, even Huo Xiaoqi's face changed. Heavenly Master, almost everyone in the Yanchu Immortal Dynasty knew about this. He was the second only to the four demon-suppressing kings in the Demon Subduing Division!

"Let's go."

The two young men from the Demon-Subduing Guards nodded and turned to lead the way.

Li Hao followed them.

Shi Tianjin and others looked at each other, thinking of Li Hao's million-level immortal power, there was no doubt that this trip to the Demon Guard would most likely be a good thing.

Shi Tianjin's face was burning and he clenched his fists secretly. Just now he said that he would introduce the brothers of the Demon-Subduing Guard to Li Hao and help him make a recommendation, but in the blink of an eye, the other party received a summons from the Heavenly Master. The gap in status was beyond words.

…

Qinghe City was destroyed, the commander's mansion.

This mansion is located in the center of the vast and boundless Dead River. It is like a towering mountain with a thousand-foot-high sky gate standing tall. Above the gate are patrolling Demon-Suppressing Guards and Dragon War Army.

Standing on the Tianmen Gate of the Main General’s Mansion, one can see the signals coming from various camps in the city, as well as the sect’s immortal skills lists flying everywhere in the city.

At this time, in the Xinghai Hall in the commander's mansion.

The ground inside the hall is a dark miniature of a star field. There are faint rays of light like sand in the star field. Those are the immortal formations buried in various places in the star field. The immortal platform amplifies the spiritual consciousness through these immortal formations and can cover half of the battlefield.

At this moment, in the miniature of the star field, countless lights were floating and lines of magic were exploding.

But these are all miniatures, looking extremely small and as powerful as firecrackers, but in the real battlefields before, they were terrible attacks that could shake the heavens and the earth.

On the main seat, an old man with snow-white temples sat upright, his eyes slightly drooped, as if closed, but with a gap, overlooking the miniature of the star field.

Fairy power surrounded him, and the shadow of the fairyland appeared, with various strange visions.

At this time, under the impetus of his fairyland, the battlefield that had lasted for several months was gradually reopened.

"This time, the ancient demon's attack was really aimed at us."

Beside him, the silver-haired young man in a black helmet stared at the replayed battlefield. Only by looking at the overall situation again could he see clearly the various small movements of the ancient demon in this battlefield.

"On the surface, it's just a second ring, but in fact, it's a hidden king realm. If the Heavenly Master hadn't informed us in advance, we might have died."

Beside her, the woman with double pupils and strange eyes spoke in a serious tone.

The old man fiddled with his palms, and the star field microcosm changed accordingly. He whispered:

"The battle in the South Region is about to begin. These sect disciples are working harder and harder to hunt down ancient demons. This time, the ranking of each sect and the redistribution of resources will be made. It is not only based on the ranking of disciples for the battle in the South Region, but also based on the immortal skills. Your Majesty's move is brilliant. By integrating resources, it also allows each sect to voluntarily join the battlefield and slay demons!"

"Yes, these sects usually live a life of luxury and collect resources from everywhere. It's time to let them make some contributions on the battlefield." The silver-haired young man in the black helmet nodded.

"If it weren't for the hard work of these sect disciples, I'm afraid the Tiger and Lion Army would have to sacrifice more."

The woman with double pupils and strange eyes looked at the miniature of the star field, where several Tianzong disciples were fighting on the battlefield with the ancient demon.

The old man waved his hand slightly, and the battlefield turned. He smiled and said, "These are not surprising. On the contrary, this is the one here. Do you still remember this little guy?"

As the miniature star field rotated, at the second line of defense, a tiny figure was constantly fighting, shuttling between the war camps and the ancient demons.

The woman with double pupils and strange eyes took a look and whispered, "Of course I remember."

This was the young man whom the Heavenly Master had praised several months ago. Naturally, she would not forget him.

"What's so special about this boy?"

Next to him, a tall, middle-aged man wearing a black dragon robe asked with a hint of surprise.

He sat upright on a huge stone chair, surrounded by black dragon energy, which was the gathering and manifestation of immortal power, like the Supreme Nine Dragons.

When the old man heard his words, he smiled but said nothing. Instead, he fiddled with his palms and turned the star field microcosm to the moment of the final battle, saying:

"If it weren't for this young man, King Zhao, the Peacock Army in your hands would inevitably perish. Moreover, once the Peacock Army dies, this place, this place, and these places will be affected. When I defeat Emperor Qiu, the chain reaction of casualties here will be triggered. You will see for yourself..."
