#399 - Chapter 408: War Begins - Twenty Years of Cheating in the Royal Ancestral Land: I Am Invincible in the World

On this day, all the disciples of the Fangcun Mountain lineage were assembled.

The Xuantian and Jingtian legions, two major armies, were full of fighting spirit.

Each individual was clad in uniform Xuanhuang (black and yellow) armor.

At a glance, one could see that this was a well-trained, iron-blooded strong army capable of sweeping across the universe.

They only lacked the air of slaughter and the monstrous baleful aura that came from wading through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

After all, the disciples of Fangcun Mountain had been living in seclusion in the Bodhi Great World for many years and had not ventured out.

They lacked the experience of killing.

Jiang Ning, Bodhi Daozu, Yi Zu, Danqing Daozu, and Hong Yun, five figures, stood in the void, gazing at the assembled disciples.

At this moment, Jiang Ning felt a surge of excitement. This was the first time he was leading so many immortals into battle.

This battle must be won!

After taking the Immortal Court, the Great Xia Heavenly Court would become the ruler of the Immortal Realm.

"Junior Brother, our Fangcun Mountain lineage has been hidden for many years. It is time for this battle to let the Immortal Realm know that my Bodhi Daozu is not to be trifled with."

Looking at the disciples and grand-disciples he had nurtured, Bodhi Daozu smiled confidently.

The people of the Immortal Palace may not know that the Heavenly God Academy was founded by Bodhi Daozu.

However, the Immortal Lord and some ancient Daozu could not possibly be unaware.

They still dared to allow their disciples to come to the Heavenly God Academy to demand people, which meant they did not take him, Bodhi Daozu, seriously.

Although Bodhi Daozu was amiable, he also had a temper.

Since these old fellows did not give him face, now that the Fangcun Mountain lineage had emerged, it was time to show off their powerful strength.

"Senior Brother has been hiding in the Bodhi Great World for many years, focusing on teaching disciples."

"The Fangcun Mountain lineage is truly full of talent and strong individuals."

Jiang Ning also admired Bodhi Daozu.

Looking at the dense, endless ranks of Heavenly Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors, one could understand how powerful Fangcun Mountain was.

Not to mention that Jiang Ya and Hong Yun had also successfully attained Daozu status and possessed extraordinary combat power.

There were no small realm divisions within the Daozu realm.

The classification of Daozu was entirely based on combat power.

If one's combat power was strong enough, upon entering the Daozu realm, one could immediately step into the ranks of top-tier Daozu.

Just then, Pan Linglong, Li Qingning, and others also arrived with their disciples.

Pan Linglong had also organized the disciples of the Linglong Dojo to form a Linglong Army.

Of course, the combat power of this Linglong Army was far inferior to that of the Xing Tian and Xuan Tian armies.

As descendants of Pan Zu, the world revered Pan Zu like a deity.

As soon as Linglong Daozu established her sect, many strong individuals came to join her.

Although Linglong Daozu had been around for a relatively short time, her overall strength was not particularly weak.

Moreover, Jiang Ning had also taken out many Immortal Essence Fruits to quickly raise the cultivation levels of the people in the Linglong Dojo.

"Brother, I can finally fight alongside you again."

Jiang Yunhe, carrying two swords on her back and bathed in the light of the sun and moon, came to Jiang Ning's side.

She was clearly very excited.

It was as if she had returned to the mortal world, to the time when she fought alongside her brother.

Li Qingning, Pan Linglong, Xiao Li, and Wang Youning also came along.

"Hiss~"

Bodhi Daozu gasped, greatly surprised.

"They have all become Daozu."

"It seems Junior Brother is truly blessed with great fortune. Those around you have all become Daozu."

Jiang Ya and Hong Yun were also able to become Daozu so quickly because of Junior Brother.

He himself had completely comprehended the "Chaotic Dao Scripture" and "Grand Dao True Explanation" and stepped into the invincible Daozu level because of Junior Brother.

Being around Jiang Ning could greatly increase one's strength.

Bodhi Daozu did not know that Jiang Ning was not blessed with great fortune at all, but rather a cheat.

Not only could he use cheats himself, but those around him could also enjoy the benefits of the cheat.

"Greetings, Teacher!"

"Greetings, Bodhi Daozu."

Wang Youning greeted him.

"You are too polite." Bodhi Daozu smiled slightly.

Seeing Li Qingning, Bodhi Daozu felt a little embarrassed.

Jiang Ning was his Junior Brother, and Li Qingning was his mother.

According to seniority, wasn't he a generation younger than Li Qingning?

However, Bodhi Daozu was an elder who had lived for countless years.

Li Qingning would still treat him as a junior in front of him.

"Linglong, you are pregnant, so you should not participate in the battle, right?"

Looking at Pan Linglong's slightly bulging belly, Jiang Ning said.

"I am a Daozu, and pregnancy will not affect my combat."

Pan Linglong rejected Jiang Ning's suggestion.

She had to participate in this battle.

After all, this battle was crucial.

With her strength, she was still very important to the outcome of the battle.

Jiang Ning would not underestimate the battle with the Immortal Court.

As the nominal ruler of the Immortal Realm, it could not be underestimated.

Moreover, Jiang Ning had offended many Daozu.

It was inevitable that they would take the opportunity to participate in the battle.

"All three armies are in position, let's set off!"

Jiang Ya, wearing armor and holding the Immortal Slaying Sword, issued the order.

Jiang Ya became the commander-in-chief of the three armies.

Back then, when the Immortal Lord rebuilt the Immortal Court and swept across the eight wastelands.

Jiang Ya was the commander-in-chief, fighting for the Immortal Lord in the Immortal Realm.

In the end, the Immortal Court became the most powerful force in the Immortal Realm, the nominal ruler of the Immortal Realm.

In terms of commanding legions in battle, no one in the Immortal Realm could compare with Jiang Ya.

Ultimately, the Immortal Lord set his sights on the "Chaotic Dao Scripture" and "Grand Dao True Explanation" in the hands of Bodhi Daozu.

Jiang Ya was forced to leave the Immortal Court and live in seclusion in Fangcun Mountain with his teacher, Bodhi Daozu.

The ruler and his minister had completely broken up.

With Jiang Ya's wisdom, the combat power of the Xing Tian, Xuan Tian, and Linglong armies would definitely increase greatly.

"Kill! Kill! Kill!"

The boundless, countless immortals shouted in unison.

The monstrous killing power that erupted shook the entire Immortal Realm.

It could be seen how strong Jiang Ya's ability to command the army was.

He could truly use the power of the army to fight Daozu.

Back then, when Jiang Ya fought for the Immortal Lord, more than a dozen Daozu died in his hands.

A scattered group of immortals would find it difficult to join forces to fight Daozu.

However, a well-trained, perfectly coordinated army could completely do it.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The immortals of the three armies transformed into streams of light, rushing towards the Immortal Court.

Jiang Ning, Bodhi Daozu, and others followed closely behind.

Such a terrifying power naturally shocked the beings of the Immortal Realm.

"Whose army is this?"

"It's Jiang Ya, the army of Fangcun Mountain."

"Looking at the direction they are marching... it seems to be the Immortal Court."

"Heavens, the Fangcun Mountain lineage is actually going to use force against the Immortal Court."

"Isn't this like an ant trying to stop a chariot?"

Looking at the boundless army, everyone was shocked.

Although the Fangcun Mountain lineage looked very strong, so strong that it was shocking.

After all, Bodhi Daozu's ability to teach disciples was the best in the Immortal Realm.

In addition, they had been living in seclusion in the Bodhi Great World for many years, not participating in any disputes in the Immortal Realm, so no disciples had fallen.

The accumulated foundation and strength were naturally incredibly astonishing.

However, even so, everyone did not believe that the Fangcun Mountain lineage could compete with the Immortal Court.

This was the ruler of the Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Lord was the fifth strongest in the Immortal Realm, only after Pan Zu, Wa Huang, Xi Huang, and Dong Huang.

Moreover, the Immortal Court had countless divine generals and cloud of strong individuals. The army composed of hundreds of thousands of Heavenly Sovereigns and Immortal Emperors suppressed the Immortal Realm.

What did the Fangcun Mountain lineage have to fight with?

"The battle between the Fangcun Mountain lineage and the Immortal Court is naturally like an egg hitting a stone, but have you forgotten about Jiang Ning?"

"He is also part of the Fangcun Mountain lineage..."

At this time, everyone thought of Jiang Ning.

This ascender who had risen like a miracle.

If he was given time, he would probably be able to surpass Pan Zu.

"Although Jiang Ning is powerful, if he does not reach the strength of Pan Zu, it will be difficult for him to change a large-scale war by himself."

"Moreover, Jiang Ning has offended many Daozu. If he really takes action, many reclusive ancient existences will not sit idly by and take action."

Everyone discussed.

They were more optimistic about the Immortal Court.

In terms of individual strength, perhaps Jiang Ning was not weaker than the Immortal Lord at all, or even slightly stronger.

However, this level of war was not about who was stronger in a one-on-one fight, but who could win.

As the number one force in the Immortal Realm, the strength of its foundation was unimaginable.

There were countless formations, runes, mechanical beasts, and treasures... too many to imagine.

...

The Immortal Court was located above the nine heavens in the center of the Immortal Realm.

It was located on a sky island surrounded by immortal energy and shrouded in the light of the Grand Dao.

Although it was called an island, its area was so large that even the Primordial World could not compare.

The Sky Island was the highest point in the Immortal Realm. Standing on it, one could overlook all the beings of the Immortal Realm.

Historically, it had been occupied by the overlords of the Immortal Realm.

Not only did it have a cultivation environment superior to the thirty-six heavens and seventy-two blessed lands.

It also had the highest meaning and was naturally a place that the overlord must occupy.

Jiang Ning rebuilt the Great Xia Heavenly Court, and the Sky Island was naturally his first choice.

This was where the luck of the Immortal Realm converged.

On the Sky Island, purple qi rose, and immortal birds and beasts could be seen everywhere.

Magnificent immortal palaces and jade buildings were located on it.

Among them, there was a palace that was the most magnificent and the tallest building.

This was the Cloud Firmament Treasure Hall, the palace where the Immortal Lord resided.

At this time, a ninety-nine-zhang golden body, a figure of unparalleled brilliance, was sitting on the throne.

Nine golden dragons surrounded his body, full of terrifying power.

It was the Lord of the Immortal Court, Shang Hao Qitian Daozu.

Since the beginning of chaos, he was the strongest after Pan Zu, Wa Huang, Xi Huang, and the other four.

Above the hall, the many divine generals and immortal officials of the Immortal Court stood among them.

"Immortal Lord, Jiang Ning and Bodhi Daozu seem to be leading the Fangcun Mountain lineage to the Immortal Court."

The commander-in-chief of the three armies of the Immortal Court, the Golden Pagoda Heavenly King, reported.

"Since they dare to come, this time I will let Jiang Ning completely fall."

On the golden and brilliant, divinely radiant immortal seat, the Immortal Lord spoke with a powerful voice.

"Order the Four Heavenly Kings and the Twelve Star Lords to all leave seclusion and prepare to meet the enemy."

The Four Heavenly Kings and the Twelve Star Lords were all Daozu.

It could be seen how perverted the strength of the Immortal Court was.

Only with such strength could they be qualified to have the billions of races and endless beings of the Immortal Realm recognize him as the co-lord of the Immortal Realm.

"Seventy-two Golden Armor Divine Generals, three thousand Primordial Chaos Divine Troops, one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers, and one million Immortal Soldiers... all prepare to meet the enemy."

"This time, I will definitely make Jiang Ning and Bodhi come and not return."

The Immortal Lord issued orders again.

He was not afraid of Jiang Ning and Bodhi Daozu's attack. Instead, he was very excited.

Not only could he eliminate Jiang Ning, this hidden danger, but he could also obtain the "Chaotic Dao Scripture" and "Grand Dao True Explanation" from Bodhi's hands.

Back then, for the sake of this unparalleled supreme inheritance of Fangcun Mountain, he did not hesitate to abandon Jiang Ya, who had conquered the world for him.

The Immortal Lord was full of confidence in taking down the Fangcun Mountain lineage.

The Immortal Court was his trump card, with countless years of accumulated foundation.

There were countless formations, treasures, and mechanical puppets, which could be described as impregnable.

He had absolute confidence in defeating Jiang Ning in the Immortal Court.

"Yes, Immortal Lord!"

All the immortals respectfully accepted the order.

"Supreme Elder."

Following the Immortal Lord's call.

An old man wearing a white Daoist robe, with an immortal demeanor, appeared in the Cloud Firmament Treasure Hall.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord!"

The Supreme Elder Daozu was the elder brother of the Taibai Daozu.

The two were born in chaos at the same time.

Their relationship was very good.

The Supreme Elder Daozu had a pure personality and only liked to refine pills.

He did not join the Immortal Court like his younger brother.

He came now only to join forces with the Immortal Lord to rescue his younger brother who had been converted by Jiang Ning.

He did not know that Taibai Daozu had already been sacrificed by Jiang Ning.

"Go and contact other Daozu who want to kill Jiang Ning."

"This is a great opportunity to kill Jiang Ning. If he wants to die, then fulfill him."

The Immortal Lord said.

He believed that there were many Daozu in the Immortal Realm who wanted Jiang Ning's life.

As the number one alchemist in the Immortal Realm, he naturally had very good relationships.

It would definitely be twice as effective if the Supreme Elder Daozu went to persuade them.

"This old Daoist will definitely do his best to capture Jiang Ning."

The Supreme Elder Daozu's eyes were full of determination.

He had to rescue his disciple.

Then, he disappeared from the Cloud Firmament Treasure Hall.

The remaining immortal officials and divine generals also began to prepare for battle.

...

Desolate Heaven Dojo.

"Desolate Lord, Jiang Ning seems to be leading an army to attack the Immortal Court."

An old man carrying a yellow giant sword came to report to the Desolate Lord.

"Immortal Court?"

"The Immortal Court is the most powerful force suppressing my Ascender Alliance."

"Since Little Brother Jiang Ning wants to attack the Immortal Court, I will lend him a hand."

"Issue the order, gather everyone and prepare to support Brother Jiang Ning."

The Desolate Lord issued the order without hesitation.

If he had not comprehended his Transformation Freedom Sword Intent, the Ascender Alliance would have been razed to the ground by the Immortal Lord.

Although the Desolate Lord was still not the Immortal Lord's opponent, it would not be easy for them to kill the Desolate Lord.

With the Desolate Lord's strength, it would still be easy to launch guerrilla warfare to retaliate against the Immortal Court.

Unless they all stayed in the Immortal Court and did not come out.

With such scruples, the Immortal Realm had not completely exterminated the ascenders before killing the Desolate Lord.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this news, all the ascenders became excited.

They did not know how many years they had been waiting for this moment.

All the members of the Ascender Alliance had the hatred for the Immortal Court in their hearts.

They were always preparing to take revenge.

Although the Ascender Alliance only had the Desolate Lord as a Daozu.

However, the talent of each ascender was at the peak of the Immortal Realm.

The number of Heavenly Sovereigns is unimaginable, and each possesses formidable combat power, standing at the pinnacle of Heavenly Sovereigns.

When a dozen or so of them join forces, they can even contend against a Dao Ancestor.

This is also why the Ascendant Alliance has been able to survive to this day amidst the suppression from countless powerful forces in the Immortal Realm.

Their strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

With a command from the Desolate Ancestor, countless ascendants from the past million years surged forth together.

Heading towards the Immortal Court.

Although the Immortal Court is powerful, they still believe that Jiang Ning can bring miracles.

They went without hesitation, gambling their lives and fortunes.

Jiang Ning is their only hope as ascendants, they must take a gamble.

The movements of the Ascendant Alliance were naturally known by the Immortal Court.

The Immortal Lord sneered.

"They've come just in time, we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop."

"Let all these damned ascendants die."

Thus, a war of unprecedented scale and brutality, the most tragic since ancient times, is about to begin.

This battle concerns the future landscape of the entire Immortal Realm.
