The First Marquis of Daxuan

"Li Chuan, you're self-taught, aren't you? You've only been emperor for a few days, and you're already starting to set your sights on me?"

Su Mu said with a half-smile.

Li Chuan wasn't afraid at all, and said with an awkward smile, "Aren't we all your soldiers? We shouldn't let the good stuff go to outsiders."

Su Mu has painstakingly collected seventy-two divine weapons over the years. Even if the treasure of the seventy-two thieves is found, it is Su Mu's private property. What kind of logic is it to take it out to forge weapons for the Great Xuan Nine Armies?

Although Su Mu often used his own money to share the weapons he forged and the treasures he fought for with others, it was Su Mu's own choice.

If anyone tries to stand on moral high ground and force Su Mu to sacrifice himself for the greater good, they are mistaken about Su Mu.

Su Mu never did anything that harmed himself to benefit others.

"Starting today, your daily expenses will be halved and used to provide equipment for the soldiers."

Su Mu glanced at him and said calmly, "What do you think?"

Li Chuan said with a bitter face, "You've already said it, what objection can I have? I'll just listen to you."

Bei Gongye looked at Su Mu, then at Li Chuan, not quite understanding what kind of relationship they had.

The king is not a king, and the minister is not a minister.

It seems that all these people listen to Su Mu.

This is right.

He said, with Su Mu's strength, how could he possibly be subordinate to someone else?

It seems that Su Mu is not a power-hungry person.

Bei Gongye silently added a symbol to Su Mu's name in his mind.

"Is the treasure of the Seventy-Two Sages really in your hands?"

Kitamiya couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

There have always been legends about the treasure of the Seventy-Two Sages in the Sacred Realm of the Great Void.

Back then, Tian Cangchen of the Martial Sect brought back a fake treasure to celebrate the Martial Ancestor's birthday, which has now become a laughing stock in the Taixu Sacred Realm.

Bei Gongye had always suspected that Su Mu's current achievements were due to his acquisition of the treasure of the Seventy-Two Sages.

Bei Gongye had no desire for the treasure; he was simply curious whether it was as amazing as the legends said.

"of course not."

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, answered Bei Gongye, pursing his lips and saying, "Brother, you're new here, so you don't know."

The treasure of those seventy-two thieves won't be easy to find. We've spent a lot of time and effort over the years, and we still haven't gotten it.

Although he didn't know about Ning Hongchen's affairs, he did know that Su Mu had never gone to find the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves.

That's why he just mentioned it.

"You cultivated to the Heavenly Fate Realm without obtaining the treasure?"

Bei Gongye stared wide-eyed at Su Mu.

"You think Su Mu got to where he is today because of the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves? You're wrong. Let me tell you, Su Mu got to where he is today entirely through his own hard work."

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, said with great interest, "Back when I first met him..."

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, recounted Su Mu's growth story, leaving Bei Gongye completely stunned.

He was wrong; all his previous guesses were incorrect.

It is true that Su Mu received the martial arts inheritance of the Seventy-Two Sages, but his current status is not really related to the Seventy-Two Sages.

He fought against the Demon Court, battled the Xuan Emperor, intercepted and killed the elders of the Azure Sky Sect, and stole the Martial Ancestor's birthday gifts...

From beginning to end, all the cultivation resources he needed were earned through his own battles; he never relied on anyone else.

"Su Mu, you possess the qualities of a celestial being!"

After a long silence, Bei Gongye finally uttered a sentence.

This kind of experience is even more colorful than the growth experience of those celestial beings.

Bei Gongye only regrets that he met Su Mu too late and did not witness Su Mu's growth firsthand.

"That's for sure. We all know that Su Mu will definitely reach the top in the future."

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, spoke without any airs of an emperor.

Su Mu couldn't help but roll his eyes. "I don't even have confidence in myself, but you guys trust me."

"Hehe, what kind of relationship do we have? If you don't believe me, who else would I believe?"

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, laughed and said, "Speaking of which, Su Mu, are you really not going to dig up the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves?"
Even if we don't use this treasure on them, you yourself will need it. If you can really become a Celestial Venerable soon, then what are we afraid of?
With the Celestial Venerable overseeing things, I refuse to believe that the Void Realm would dare to invade our outer domains.

"Yes."

Beigong Ye chimed in, "It is said that the treasure of the Seventy-Two Thieves is enough to support a person to become a powerful being in the Heavenly Fate Realm from an ordinary person, and may even help a person become a Heavenly Venerable."

Since you haven't used that treasure before, now's the perfect time to use it; it might even help you achieve the status of a Celestial Venerable in one fell swoop.

"He doesn't understand, so you're pretending to be confused too?"

Su Mu said irritably, "Is the achievement of a Celestial Venerable a matter of resources? The Yang Realm can only produce so many Celestial Venerables. Unless an old Celestial Venerable perishes, it is impossible for a new Celestial Venerable to be born."

"No, that's how the Yang Realm is now, but we can expand our territory."

Bei Gongye rubbed his hands together and said, "Since the Void Realm wants to invade our Yang Realm anyway, why don't we strike first and expand our territory? Then you can take the opportunity to become a Heavenly Venerable!"

"Is there still such a thing?"

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, also became interested.

"Then what's there to hesitate about? Let's do it! Helping Su Mu achieve the Heavenly Venerable realm is the most important thing for our Great Xuan Dynasty!"

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, rolled up his sleeves and said with murderous intent.

Su Mu looked up at the sky. These guys really didn't know their own limitations.

They even expanded their territory.

Do you really think the Void Realm is a pushover?

Even he wouldn't dare to make such a boastful statement.

"We are all martial artists. Attack is the best defense. Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

Bei Gongye looked at Su Mu and coaxed him, "If we just passively wait for the Void Realm to attack us, we will definitely be no match for them."

However, the Void Realm is not ready yet. If we launch a surprise attack, we have a great chance to seize some territory.

We're not greedy; we just want enough territory for you to become a Celestial Venerable.

"As long as we act quickly, by the time the Void Realm reacts, you'll already be a Celestial Venerable. Then we won't be afraid of them at all!"

Kitamiya has many flaws, but he also has quite a few strengths.

Eloquence is one of his outstanding strengths.

Don't say it.

His analysis not only moved Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, but also Marquis Jin, Marquis Mingyi, Chen Beixuan, and others.

Tianzun.

That's a Celestial Venerable!

If Su Mu truly achieves the status of a Celestial Venerable, then their Great Xuan Dynasty will have an invincible foundation.

Beigong Ye truly lives up to his reputation as the Heavenly Venerable's own son; he certainly has a high vantage point and a far-sighted perspective.

They never expected that they could strike first.

"Let's do it."

Chen Beixuan looked at Su Mu and said, "Isn't it just one more battle? We've fought so many difficult battles, what's one more?"
If it succeeds, then we can finally rest easy!

"Yes, let's give it our all!"

The others also spoke up.

"You're only thinking about success, have you ever considered what would happen if you failed?"

Su Mu said slowly, "Even if you are lucky enough to occupy the territory of the Void Realm, who can guarantee that I will definitely become a Heavenly Venerable?"

Anyway, I can't guarantee that to you.

"We can't guarantee whether you can succeed, but I know that if you don't do it, it will never succeed."

Even the most mature and prudent Marquis of Jin spoke up, saying, "If you do it, there is hope of success; if you don't do it, there is no hope at all."

The worst outcome would be that you fail to become a Celestial Venerable, and we are banished from the Void Realm back to the Outer Domain. What difference would that make from what we are doing now?

"Aren't we just waiting for the Void Realm to come knocking on our door now?"

"You did a good job!"

Su Mu glared at Bei Gongye and said.

"This is certainly a good thing."

Bei Gongye was smug, as if he couldn't hear Su Mu's sarcasm.

"Isn't that how martial arts cultivation works? It's all about competition. Without competition, how can one reach the pinnacle of martial arts?"

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Kitamiya's vanity was greatly satisfied.

When he was in the Taixu Sacred Realm, although those people flattered him, the contempt in their eyes was impossible to ignore.

But here, Kitamiya could sense that these people genuinely agreed with his proposal.

Even if his suggestion seems crazy.

Bei Gongye's sense of belonging to the Great Xuan Dynasty grew rapidly.

"Have you decided?"

Su Mu's gaze fell on everyone, and he spoke calmly.

"We are only making a suggestion. Whether or not to attack the Void Realm is ultimately up to you."

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, said.

“Bei Gongye, they may not know, but you should know very well that one of the main reasons why the Seventy-Two Sages perished was because they launched a military campaign against the Ruins Realm.”

Su Mu said slowly.

"I know."

Kitamiya nodded solemnly, "But so what?"
Even if you don't attack the Ruins Realm, do you think they'll let you off the hook?
They didn't notice you before, so you had the opportunity to develop.

Now, both Fu Canglan, the sect leader of the Azure Sky Sect, and Wu Zu, the sect leader of the Martial Sect, know of your existence.

Your rampage in the Void Realm has probably already spread throughout the Sacred Realm of the Great Void.

The current situation is that no matter what you do, they are destined not to tolerate you.

Since that's the case, why not give it a shot?

If you can become a Celestial Venerable, then even if they are unhappy, they will have to reluctantly acknowledge your existence.

Su Mu, to put it bluntly, we have a choice, but you don't.

Even if the Taixu Sacred Realm takes over the outer regions, at most we'll just be changing masters to make a living.

And you? Tell me, which celestial being could tolerate you?

Bei Gongye used all his eloquence from the past on Su Mu.

Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, the Marquis of Jin of Taiping, the Marquis of Mingyi, Dongfang Liuyun, Chen Beixuan and others all looked on in agreement.

"Su Mu, don't hesitate, give the order."

Dongfang Liuyun said in a deep voice, "We are always ready for battle!"

They had been preparing to one day invade the Taixu Sacred Realm, but now they had simply replaced it with the Ruins Realm. Their preparations had not been in vain.

"Attack on the Ruins Realm is not out of the question."

Su Mu looked at everyone and slowly said, "The Void Realm is different from the Yang Realm. Conventional weapons have limited killing power against Void Beasts."

The equipment of the Great Xuan Nine Armies must be replaced.

In addition, I need to do some more preparation.

Su Mu did not actually object to Bei Gongye's suggestion.

He had actually had this idea in his mind for a long time.

However, this matter was of utmost importance, and Su Mu was unwilling to take this risk by kidnapping the people from the outer realms.

Now that everyone thinks this way, it's not impossible to do it.

Of course, Su Mu's style of doing things has always been to plan carefully before acting.

Previously, whether fighting against the Demon Court or Yang Xiuhu, the Taiping Division always responded passively with a wait-and-see attitude.

Now that we need to take the initiative, the situation is completely different from before.

Su Mu accepts adventures, but never adventures with absolutely no chance of success.

Since he's going to take action, he's determined to succeed!

"I will give you a year to train. If you meet my standards after a year, then we will send troops to the Ruins Realm!"

Su Mu said in a deep voice.

With a little effort, it should take about a year to completely refine the Five Elements Mountain and at the same time upgrade the equipment of the Great Xuan Nine Army.

Moreover, Su Mu wanted to train another avatar.

…………

Ruins.

Cha Haishan knelt before a Void Beast.

The Void Beast was enormous, almost blotting out the sky. Cha Haishan knelt at its feet, looking as tiny as an ant.

"I need ten years to heal my wounds. After ten years, I will grant you your long-cherished wish."

The voice of the Void Beast rang out, like muffled thunder, making Cha Haishan's eardrums buzz.

But Cha Haishan dared not show the slightest displeasure, and bowed, saying, "Thank you, sir."

"You helped me get out of trouble, so I will naturally treat you well."

The Void Beast said, "While I am in seclusion healing my injuries, the Void Beasts of the Twelve Tribes are at your disposal. Go and take back the Five Elements Mountain in my stead."

"Yes!"

Cha Haishan's face lit up with joy, and he shouted loudly.

Wasn't he risking his life to release this beast for this very day?

Although things took some twists and turns, the outcome was as he expected, and he finally got what he wanted.

With the power to mobilize the twelve tribes of beasts, he could do many things.

Putting everything else aside, at the very least, he could conquer the outer regions first, using them as a foundation for his survival.

As it happens, the guy who stole the Five Elements Mountain was Su Mu from the outer realms.

Recalling his previous dangerous experiences, Cha Haishan felt a burning hatred.

When he released that Void Beast, he almost died at Su Mu's hands.

Fortunately, I won in the end.

Cha Haishan slowly retreated, and only after leaving the secluded place of the Void Beast could he not help but excitedly wave his arm.

Shou Deyun Kai see Yueming.

Saving the Ruins Beasts was the right move!
The Void Beast suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain was the former ruler of all Void Beasts. It led hundreds of Void Beast tribes in launching an attack on the Yang Realm.

If it weren't for an accident that led to its suppression under the Five Elements Mountain, the current state of Yin and Yang might be quite different.

"Man proposes, God disposes. When it escaped, Wu Zu and Fu Canglan were unexpectedly present, and Su Mu actually mastered the Guixu Yin technique."

Fortunately, it will recover in just ten years.

Cha Haishan thought to himself, then looked up in one direction, “The Twelve Tribes of the Void Beasts are unruly. I tried my best to persuade some of them before, but now that I have their orders, the Twelve Tribes of the Void Beasts will definitely obey me.”

I'll start by mustering my strength, using the Outer Realms as my first whetstone!

…………

With a crash, more than ten weapons were casually tossed onto the ground.

Bei Gongye stared intently, his eyes widening immediately, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

"These are all... Celestial-level divine weapons?"

He stammered.

"What else? Stop standing there and start distributing them."

Dongfang Liuyun said, "You are, after all, the Heavenly Venerable's own son. You can't be so ignorant. Look carefully, don't mistake one person for another. These divine weapons were specially forged by Su Mu to suit the different characteristics of each person."

"no--"

Kitamiya felt like his mind was completely blank.

This is a divine weapon of the highest order.

Even if he is the Celestial Venerable's own son, he hasn't seen many Heavenly Fate level divine weapons in his life.

It could be said that he had seen more Heavenly Fate-level divine weapons in the first half of his life than he had seen this time.

The Qiankun Creation Technique has long been lost in the Taixu Sacred Realm, and now no one can forge a Heavenly Fate-level divine weapon.

The divine weapons of destiny that exist today are all remnants from the past. After being divided up by various major forces, even the Heavenly Venerables don't have many left.

While the overall strength of the outer regions is certainly inferior to that of the major forces in the Taixu Sacred Realm, in some aspects, it far surpasses them.

Ultimately, it all comes down to Su Mu.

Su Mu's mother is also a weapon-forging master who has mastered the Qiankun Creation Technique!
"Didn't Su Mu go into seclusion to cultivate? How come he still has time to forge divine weapons?"

Bei Gongye asked, now he believed that there really were omnipotent geniuses in the world.

"does it matter?"

Dongfang Liuyun said casually, "When you're in seclusion for cultivation, you need to relax and adjust your mood occasionally, don't you?"

Bei Gongye was speechless. You call this adjusting your mood?
Do the weapon-making divisions know if you talk like that?

Ordinary weaponsmiths must be completely focused to forge divine weapons; the slightest distraction could lead to failure. The entire process is extremely demanding and laborious.

Often, after forging a divine weapon, the weaponsmith would be exhausted.

For you, forging divine weapons has become an act of mood-regulating?

Are you looking down on other weapon-making divisions?

You'll get used to it eventually.

Dongfang Liuyun patted Beigong Ye on the shoulder and said.

Back when he first met Su Mu, his performance wasn't much better than Bei Gongye's.

Su Mu is the kind of person who is born to put others down.

The things he did only elicited a "what a genius!" in praise.

Having known Su Mu for so many years, Dongfang Liuyun still can't imagine what Su Mu is capable of doing.

For Su Mu, forging a dozen or so Heavenly Fate level divine weapons is now routine.

Was he always this perverted?

Kitamiya muttered to himself.

"It's always been this perverted."

Dongfang Liuyun nodded affirmatively.

"Let me put it this way, if he becomes a Celestial Venerable directly after this seclusion, I wouldn't be surprised at all."

Dongfang Liuyun said with a serious expression.

"Impossible, that's impossible."

Kitamiya shook his head repeatedly.

…………

"As expected of the Great Celestial Venerable, this Five Elements Mountain is truly infinitely mysterious."

On this isolated island in the East China Sea, this is where Su Mu secluded himself for cultivation.

He was refining the Five Elements Mountain day and night.

Although Dongfang Liuyun exaggerated a bit, forging a Heavenly Fate-level divine weapon was indeed not a difficult task for Su Mu.

When Su Mu began his seclusion, he severed one of his arms and used it to create a new avatar.

Then he refined the Five Elements Mountain with his main body, and his avatars refined divine weapons of destiny, advancing simultaneously.

Transform into a divine weapon to accumulate points, and then use those points to improve your own cultivation; this can be considered self-sufficient.

The progress of refining the Five Elements Mountain in the main body, while not exactly smooth, is proceeding steadily.

Now, one-tenth of the entire Five Elements Mountain has been dyed gold.

This means that Su Mu's refining progress has reached one-tenth.

The higher the degree of refinement of the Five Elements Mountain, the greater Su Mu's control over it becomes.

He was an expert in weapon forging, and the more he learned about the Five Elements Mountain, the more he was impressed by the Great Celestial Venerable's realm.

This Five Elements Mountain may look ordinary, but the great way is simple and returns to the original nature.

Not only is it incredibly useful, but Su Mu can also sense the profound and unfathomable weapon-forging techniques it contains.

It is said that Li, one of the Seventy-Two Sages, was the most talented weapon maker in history, who created the method of creation.

But in Su Mu's opinion, this Great Celestial Venerable's skill in weapon forging was probably no less than that of his senior uncle, Li.

Although the Five Elements Mountain was not crafted using the Qiankun Creation Method, it was still incredibly profound, greatly benefiting Su Mu.

Su Mu even suspected that his senior uncle, Master Li, had seen the Five Elements Mountain back then, which was why he was able to create the Qiankun Creation Method.

Because Su Mu could clearly sense that the Qiankun Creation Method and the refining method of the Five Elements Mountain were of the same lineage.

"The first Celestial Venerable in the world, the pioneer of martial arts, has even reached the level of a patriarch in weapon forging. This Great Celestial Venerable is truly remarkable."

Su Mu sighed inwardly.

Throughout history, countless heroes and great figures have emerged.

The Great Celestial Venerable and the Seventy-Two Sages—any one of them is an extraordinary genius.

Su Mu suppressed his smugness.

"The Five Elements Mountain can not only disrupt the magnetic field, but can even change space and time."

Su Mu was contemplating the wondrous uses of the Five Elements Mountain.

When he manipulates the Five Elements Mountain, its weight can change infinitely. When its weight reaches a certain level, the surrounding space will be crushed and collapse, and even time will be affected.

Su Mu finally understood why the Void Beast, so powerful that even he, the Martial Ancestor, and Fu Canglan couldn't defeat it, had been suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain for so many years.

When the Five Elements Mountain becomes heavy enough, space collapses and time becomes chaotic, then no one can escape its suppression.

When Su Mu applied this power to himself, he could feel immense pressure.

Using the Five Elements Mountain to suppress oneself, so that the body is constantly under tremendous pressure, is a method of cultivating the physical body.

Su Mu had a feeling that once he was able to escape from under the Five Elements Mountain, his Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques would reach the Great Perfection.

With the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques at its peak, one can fight against a Heavenly Venerable with the power of their physical body!
Only when you reach that level can you truly be invincible in the world.

If anyone were to appear on the island at this moment, they would surely be astonished by Su Mu.

Su Mu is no longer multitasking; he's multitasking.

Refine the Five Elements Mountain, cultivate the Eight-Nine Mysterious Techniques, and forge a Heavenly Fate-level Divine Weapon!

As time goes by, all three aspects are improving rapidly.

…………

The Great Xuan Dynasty.

The nine armies of the Great Xuan were all training enthusiastically.

Those soldiers who received divine weapons of destiny were overjoyed, while those who had not yet received suitable weapons were full of enthusiasm.

They all knew that the better they performed, the sooner they would receive their weapons.

Everyone was training with great enthusiasm, and everyone wanted to outdo the people around them.

If he practices for one hour, then I have to practice for two hours!

With everyone working hard, their strength increased day by day.

At the same time, the people from the Taiping Division who were responsible for finding the passage between the two worlds also returned.

"The situation is better than we expected; the worst has not happened."

The Marquis of Jin pointed to a huge map hanging on the wall and began to speak.

"If those seventy-two people really broke through seventy-two passages back then, our forces would not be able to guard so many passages at the same time. If our forces were scattered, we might not be able to stop the Void Beast army of the Void Realm."

Marquis Jin said in a deep voice, "The situation is much better now. We have searched the entire outer realm and found a total of nine suspected interdimensional passages."

If you remove the one in the East China Sea, there are eight left.

The people in the room were either high-ranking officials of the Taiping Division or senior generals of the Daxuan Army.

Besides Emperor Xuan, Li Chuan, there was only one other outsider, Bei Gongye.

These people can be considered the highest decision-making body in the outer realms today.

With Su Mu in seclusion, all matters in the outer realms were discussed and decided by them.

Nine places, no more and no less.

Kitamiya said, "Are all these passages open now?"

"not at all."

Marquis Jin said, "Those seventy-two must have done something before they fell, so these passages were actually sealed off."

However, after so many years, the seal has loosened somewhat, which is why some strange things have happened around the passage, leading to our discovery.

I went to see it myself. If we ignore it, within a few years, those passages will be reopened, just like the one in the East China Sea. Then, the Void Beasts can freely enter.

He pointed to the place marked with a red circle on the map.

It must be said that those places were shocking.

Of the nine red circles, except for the one in the East China Sea, the other eight are almost all located on mountain fortresses.

Once they are opened, the Void Beasts can quickly occupy many fortresses in the outer realms, with unimaginable consequences.

"Fortunately, we have already made preparations to take the initiative to send troops; otherwise, the pressure on us would be much greater if we were forced to defend passively."

Marquis Mingyi, Zhang Songtao, spoke.

"Now there's a problem."

Marquis Jin's gaze swept over the crowd, and he slowly began to speak.

"what is the problem?"

everyone asked.

"Although we have determined the location of the passage, we do not know what is on the other side of the passage."

The Marquis of Jin said, "The way of war is to know yourself and know your enemy."

If we don't know what's on the other side of the passage and rush in, we're very likely to fall into an enemy trap.

Bei Gongye remained silent. Although he had been to the Void Realm, he did not know where these passages led to in the Void Realm.

If the other side happens to be a tribe of Void Beasts, they would end up directly in the Void Beasts' lair.

"Therefore, we now need to send out a suicide squad to investigate the situation on the other side of the passage."

The Marquis of Jin did not keep them in suspense and went straight to the point.

“This mission is very dangerous. If the other end of the passage is the desolate wilderness of the Void Realm, it will be fine. But if the other end is the settlement of Void Beasts, then once you get there, it is very likely that you will never be able to come back.”

The Marquis of Jin said in a deep voice.

"Won't doing this alert them?"

Beigong Ye pondered for a moment and said.

"meeting."

Marquis Jin nodded and said, "Therefore, while sending out suicide squads, we must also be prepared for a full-scale war."

We were originally going to invade the Void Realm, and sooner or later we would face the Void Realm's army of Void Beasts.

Even if we alert them, they would never expect us to launch a large-scale invasion; there will still be a time lag.

"I'll lead the way."

Chen Beixuan spoke.

As the sharpest swordsman, he has always been one of the strongest combat forces in the outer realms besides Su Mu.

"I'll lead the way too."

Zhuque, formerly of the Night Owl Guard, spoke up, saying that he was now a deputy commander in the Great Xuan Nine Armies.

As someone who surrendered, he had never experienced discrimination, but he always longed for an opportunity to prove himself.

Now is undoubtedly the best opportunity.

War is not a good thing, but it is undoubtedly a good opportunity to rise to the top.

"I--"

"I!"

One by one, people raised their hands.

Bei Gongye secretly praised them. Knowing that it was such a dangerous mission, these people did not refuse, but instead competed for it.

With such a group of people, how could Su Mu not accomplish great things?
"How about I lead the way?"

With a surge of passion, Bei Gongye spoke up, "I have been to the Void Realm before, and I know more about it than you do. Moreover, my cultivation level is the highest, so even if I do encounter a Void Beast, my chances of returning are much greater."

"Are you sure you can do it? A pampered rich kid like you, are you willing to take such a big risk?"

Shi Binbin spoke up.

He's still as foul-mouthed as ever.

"Who are you looking down on?"

Bei Gongye snorted coldly, "I have also climbed mountains to capture tigers and dived into the sea to catch dragons. The dangers I have taken in my life are no less than yours, okay?"

I'm determined to lead this route!

If I don't show these guys what I, Kitamiya, am really capable of, they'll think I'm just a useless bum.

“Alright, in that case, Mr. Beigong, please lead the way.”

Marquis Jin made the decision, “This matter concerns our future, so according to our cultivation level, Brother Bei Xuan, Brother Wu… you will each lead a group.”

Select 300 elite soldiers for each route. Your mission is to scout out the situation on the other side of the passage, and ideally, to understand the terrain and enemy situation within a hundred miles of the exit.

Others are responsible for guarding the passage.

Once we open the passage, we must guard against the Void Beasts of the Void Realm rushing in.

Remember this, everyone: this time we are taking the initiative, so everything must be done quickly.

Once you've investigated the situation on the other side of the passage, don't linger on anything else; come back immediately.

After obtaining firsthand intelligence, I will report to Su Mu.

Once he emerges from the pass, it will be time for us to officially send troops.

A strong fighting spirit appeared on everyone's face.

A thousand days of training, all for this day of unsheathing.

"Gentlemen, I won't say anything more. Be careful in everything you do, and safety should be your top priority. If things become unbearable, retreat immediately, and we will come to your aid."

Marquis Jin bowed to Bei Gongye, Chen Beixuan, and the others.

Bei Gongye, Chen Beixuan, and others returned the greeting with clasped hands.

Shortly afterward, nine suicide squads were dispatched. (End of Chapter)
