Swallowing the starry sky, my clones can evolve infinitely.

Chapter 115 Immortal of the Marquis Level, Qing

Through teleportation from the divine kingdom, Shen Mu piloted the "Starship" spaceship and traveled through the dark universe for less than a day before arriving at his destination, the Bird Star.

The planet, called Bird Star, has a diameter of 102.8 kilometers. It is an artificially constructed base for deities and a war-torn planet.

"Beep beep!"

"Master, we have received a guidance signal from the Wandering Bird Star."

On the control panel screen, Tuanzi's panda image appeared: "Master, should we land as instructed?"

"Yes, let's land." Shen Mu nodded slightly.

Following the traction signal from the celestial bird, the spaceship flew into one of the many deep passages on the surface of this artificial planet.

A moment later, the dark, triangular spaceship slowly landed on the docking platform. The nebula patterns on the spaceship gradually dimmed and finally disappeared completely.

Beside the docking platform, a manager dressed in silver armor looked at Shen Mu's spaceship with a somewhat fearful expression.

The spacecraft scan results just now didn't provide any detailed information about the spacecraft, a privilege usually reserved for G-class spacecraft.

Click!

The spaceship hatch opened, and a handsome man in golden battle armor flew out. Soft blue divine light swirled around him, radiating a divine aura.

Even though his aura and pressure were extremely restrained, the staff present still felt a kind of mental pressure.

"Greetings, Immortal Lord. I am a staff member here. May I ask what service you require?" A staff member dressed in silver standard battle armor flew over and bowed respectfully in front of Shen Mu.

"I want to apply to enter the extraterritorial battlefield."

Shen Mu spoke, his voice containing the law of billions of years of ice, and the surrounding temperature instantly began to drop sharply, and the fluctuations of cosmic energy ceased to be active.

The staff member quickly said, "If this is your first time entering the extraterritorial battlefield, you will need to complete the authorization process through the left-hand passage. If..."

Before he could finish speaking, Shen Mu's figure vanished from the spot and flew towards the passage on the left.

The staff member breathed a sigh of relief after Shen Mu's figure disappeared.

Those who can travel on G-class spaceships are either King-level immortal powerhouses or disciples or descendants of super beings; he cannot afford to offend either of them.

……

The passage leading deep into the planet of the Floating Bird is approximately three thousand kilometers long and constructed of a transparent, glass-like material of extremely high strength. Even a self-destruction by an ordinary immortal could not damage the passage in the slightest.

At the end of the passageway lies a vast plaza, covering tens of thousands of square kilometers, with beautiful scenery.

At this moment, the square was filled with tables and chairs of all sizes, and thousands of powerful individuals from all over the universe were scattered around, the lowest level being a Domain Lord.

"We've been waiting for more than half a year, and we still haven't gathered 100 Realm Lord level experts. How much longer do we have to wait before we can enter the extraterritorial battlefield?"

At a table in the corner of the square, a leader of the Longke tribe spoke with a somewhat irritated expression.

The Longko race ranks among the top 100 of the countless human bloodlines in the universe, and is considered superior among them, ranking in the top 30.

Teacher Huyanbo possessed the body of a young man from the Longke tribe by chance, which led to his fame that has spanned sixty million years across the starry sky.

Opposite this Lord of the Longke Clan was a stunningly beautiful woman with wings on her back, who appeared as aloof as an angel.

She comes from the Dream Wing Clan, and is of the same clan as the lightsaber "Aichen" in the Genius Battle. In terms of bloodline talent, she is even stronger than the Longke Clan, second only to the few Domain Lord-level bloodlines.

"There's nothing we can do. We were just unlucky. When we arrived at the Winged Bird Star, the previous batch had just set off," said the Dream Winged Clan Realm Lord, his voice slightly magnetic.

These two realm lords were truly unlucky; it was as if they had just arrived at the station when they saw the backs of the previous train departing.

"Look, someone else is coming!"

"That's... the pressure of divine power!"

"Quickly, an immortal expert is here! We finally don't have to wait anymore!"

The entire plaza erupted in commotion as countless Realm Lords, Domain Lords, and Universe-level beings rose excitedly to bow and greet the Lord.

Shen Mu nodded slightly without responding, his gaze fixed in one direction.

A deity dressed in white robes appeared in mid-air, and the oppressive force of the blazing fire law swept across the entire plaza.

"quiet!"

The immortal in white robes first nodded slightly to Shen Mu, then spoke again, his voice reverberating throughout the entire plaza.

"An immortal god has arrived, so you no longer need to wait."

"Cosmic level, everyone assemble here."

"Domain Lords, assemble here."

"All realm lord level experts, come this way."

The gates to the extraterritorial battlefield opened, and tens of thousands of lone soldiers were quickly categorized and prepared to head to the extraterritorial battlefield.

The immortal in white robes spoke again: "World Lord level experts, the staff will now guide you through the authorization process."

"Your level of authority determines your precise status within the military."

"In extraterritorial battlefields, those with lower authority must unconditionally obey the orders of those with higher authority. The higher one's strength, the higher one's authority!"

Then the immortal in white robes explained the detailed differences in the levels of authority to the newcomers present.

After everything was finished, the white-robed immortal looked at Shen Mu and said, "Friend, as an immortal god, you are different from them. Come with me."

Shen Mu nodded slightly, then followed behind the immortal in white robes, transforming into a streak of light and flying into another passage.

A moment later, Shen Mu and the white-robed immortal arrived at a spacious hall.

The immortal in white robes wore a faint smile as he looked at Shen Mu and said, "My name is Xian Yue. May I ask how I should address you?"

"Hello, Xuan Yue. You can call me... Qing."

The white-robed Xuan Yue nodded and said, "That's right, Qing. As an immortal god, his authority is naturally different from others. He can choose a battlefield to serve on his own."

"Then let's go to... the Yanji Continent."

Shen Mu didn't know much about the extraterritorial battlefields, so it didn't matter which one he went to. However, as a transmigrator, Shen Mu did have some impression of the Purple Bell King.

Compared to other powerful individuals who possess such treasures, a peak-level King-level expert who has high-grade or even top-tier treasures is definitely an easy target.

If Shen Mu remembered correctly, that purple bell was worth as much as 80 or 90 treasure points. It weakened physical defense by ten times and also had a certain soul defense capability.

Treasures of this caliber would make even novice and intermediate-level Cosmic Venerables envious. Even poorer high-level Cosmic Venerables, like their own teacher, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, would covet them.

"No problem. The Yanji Continent is located in the Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield. The Seventh Domain has just experienced large-scale conflicts in the last two eras and is currently short of manpower."

Even if Shen Mu didn't request it, the new recruits from the last few thousand years would be given priority in being assigned to various military camps on the Seventh Battlefield.

"Qing, I'm going to apply for access authentication now."

"You are an immortal god, and your authority level is different from that of a realm lord. According to your realm, you are divided into three major levels: military lord, marquis, and king."

"Each level is further divided into three grades: beginner, advanced, and peak!"

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Then, a faint blue light emanated from the right arm of Xian Yue's quantum computer, enveloping Shen Mu.

"A minor title of Marquis!"

Upon seeing Shen Mu's access authorization, Xian Yue's eyes widened slightly.

Generally speaking, those immortals have entered the outer battlefield for trials before achieving the realm of gods.

Even the core princes of the five top powers are the same, so there are very few immortal recruits in the outer battlefield.

Those who achieve immortality without ever having been to extraterrestrial battlefields are invariably either descendants of super beings or individuals with exceptional talent.

This genius's potential is definitely no less than that of an ordinary realm lord in the Primordial Secret Realm. If he were to undergo further trials on the battlefield, he would have a good chance of becoming a Marquis-level existence in the future.

This is why Xian Yue was so polite to Shen Mu, but what he didn't expect was that this was not an immortal recruit at all, but a recruit who had been granted a title.

This is simply...unbelievable!

"My lord, I apologize for my negligence."

Xian Yue quickly bowed and apologized, his attitude becoming even more respectful.

The decision to use the initial rank of Marquis was made after Shen Mu and his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, discussed it.

If the level is too high, when facing a King-level expert, the opponent might just pull out a powerful trump card like the Purple Bell King.

Faced with a king-level being, Shen Mu's only means was to use the Star-Eating Grass, which could not be used for real combat and therefore could not serve as a training exercise.

If one's strength is too low, one will probably have to join a lower-level god squad, teaming up with ordinary immortals and realm lords, essentially becoming a babysitter.

If Shen Muyan's divine avatar were to unleash its full power, it would be capable of generating over 5000 times the strength of a peak Realm Lord. This is comparable to the combat power of a Marquis-level expert without burning their divine power.

Of course, relying solely on his own basic strength, Shen Mu would not be able to harm a Marquis-level expert of equal strength, but having the support of the treasured spear makes all the difference.

Shen Mu didn't need to unleash the full power of the treasured spear; simply activating a wisp of his aura was enough to harm the immortal body of a Marquis-level expert.

……

Inside the No. 026 barracks base, at the internal teleportation passage.

"New recruits have arrived."

"Those who need reinforcements, hurry forward and lead the way."

"Huh, why are there so few new recruits this time?"

The white-haired, white-robed immortal deity who had been in charge of guiding the new recruits, along with a group of receptionists under his command, stared in astonishment at the new recruits who had been teleported in; there were only a few thousand of them in total.

Because the number of new recruits this time was too small, according to the rules, it is usually 100 World Lords who are gathered together for a teleportation. Usually, the number of Domain Lords and Universe-level beings who come with them is at least over 10,000.

The immortal in white robes, who was in charge, was quite surprised. When he noticed Shen Mu at the very front of the group of new recruits, his expression was somewhat unexpected.

"There's an immortal recruit here. I wonder which super being's descendant he is..."

While speculating, the white-robed immortal connected his consciousness to the military system and retrieved Shen Mu's information.

Then the white-robed immortal's expression changed drastically. This was no immortal recruit at all; he was clearly a recruit who had been granted a title.

Throughout the entire history of Battalion 026 in the Seventh Battlefield, there has never been a recruit who was granted the title of Marquis.

"My lord." The immortal in white robes stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Shen Mu.

While a Marquis-level Immortal might not be considered a top-tier expert in the entire Seventh Domain Outer Battlefield, such a figure is quite rare in the 026th Military Base.

After all, the combat range of the No. 026 military base is at most the level of the Yanji Continent, with only a few hundred Marquis-level experts and even fewer King-level experts.

Shen Mu looked at the immortal in white robes and casually said, "Just call me Qing."

Although Shen Mu said this, the white-robed immortal dared not be negligent: "Lord Qing, as an immortal god, you can choose two ways of serving on the battlefield outside the realm."

"Once you complete your service, you can choose to explore alone or continue fighting in a squad."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Tell me in detail."

"The first option is to join one of the various divine squads within our 026 barracks base."

"These elite teams vary in strength and operate in different areas. The strongest team, the Divine Spirit Team, even has members at the peak of the Marquis level."

"Of course, as a Marquis-level powerhouse, Lord Qing can choose to form his own divine squad and recruit immortal gods!"

After listening to the white-robed immortal's introduction, Shen Mu shook his head and said, "Forming a team is out of the question. I don't know how long I'll be staying in the extraterrestrial battlefield."

The immortal in white robes continued, "The second option is to choose to lead an army."

"As an immortal deity who has been granted the title of Marquis, Lord Qing can lead a legion consisting of 10 troops."

"Each legion consists of one immortal legion leader, 100 realm lords, 1000 domain lords, and 10,000 universe-level warriors."

"As the leader of the army, you can receive an additional 50% military merit. For example, if your army kills an ordinary immortal god, you can directly receive a reward of 1.5 million military merits."

After introducing the two combat styles, the white-robed immortal bowed slightly to Shen Mu.

"Lord Qing, the two combat styles have now been explained. Which one would you choose?"

Shen Mu said directly, "I choose the first option."

The immortal in white robes quickly nodded and said, "Alright, I wonder which battlefield you intend to go to, sir? My 026 barracks covers the battlefields of..."

As the immortal in white robes spoke, a beam of blue light shot out from the quantum computer on his right arm, condensing into a three-dimensional projection image.

This projection is a three-dimensional sandbox of the entire Seventh Starfield battlefield, with detailed information about each major battlefield marked on it.

Barracks No. 026 is located in a corner of the Seventh Starfield battlefield, and the highest-level combat area within its control range is the Yanji Continent.

Those who dare to enter the Yanji Continent are basically all immortal powerhouses. Among them, immortal military lords account for about two-thirds, marquis-level powerhouses account for about one-third, and there are also a few king-level existences.

"Let's go to the Yanji Continent."

The immortal in white robes was secretly alarmed, never expecting that this newly appointed recruit would directly choose the Yanji Continent.

On the Yanji Continent, those who are initially granted the title of Marquis are barely considered to be among the strong, and the danger level is still extremely high.

However, the white-robed immortal didn't say much, and simply said, "Okay, I have recorded Lord Qing's intentions in the military system."

"The divine teams active on the Yanji Continent will all receive a notification soon, and some teams will contact you to recruit."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

The immortal in white robes quickly replied, "It is my duty, I dare not take credit. I will now take you to the barracks and your quarters."

Shen Mu nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your trouble."

Then, led by the immortal in white robes, Shen Mu transformed into a stream of light and followed a passage to a spacious super platform.

To the left of the platform lies a bustling metropolis, complete with various entertainment venues and numerous facilities. The weakest figures within this metropolis are all at the realm lord level.

To the right was a pitch-black passageway filled with various scanning devices, leading directly to the battlefield outside the domain.

"Sir, the entertainment area is on the left. Restaurants, parties, and other entertainment venues are all located here. The only passage to the outer battlefield is on the right."

"The residential area is directly ahead. The virtual universe system will assign different levels of housing based on your strength. You should have already received your housing number. Just move in according to the number."

The immortal in white robes bowed slightly to Shen Mu and introduced himself to Shen Mu one by one.

Ahead of the two lay a residential area spanning hundreds of millions of square kilometers, encompassing mountains, rivers, forests, snowfields, deserts, and more. This was the most luxurious accommodation within the entire military base.

After completing the newcomer's guidance, the white-robed immortal said that he still had many matters to attend to, bowed to Shen Mu again, and then left.

After thanking the white-robed immortal, Shen Mu went directly to the residence assigned to him.

This is an estate spanning hundreds of square kilometers, and the environment within the estate is quite beautiful, with various scenic spots such as mountains, rivers, and lakes.

"Now let's just wait patiently for the Immortal Squad to contact us."

Since the Divine Spirit Squad can view Shen Mu's information, Shen Mu can naturally also view the information of the various Divine Spirit Squads.

There are many elite divine squads active on the Yanji Continent.

To be called an elite divine squad, one must have a squad with a Marquis-level expert, but most squads only have one captain who is at the initial Marquis level.

Only a very small number of top-tier god-level teams possess multiple Marquis-level powerhouses.

As for the teams that possess the title of King and Immortal, none of them exist. Such super beings are already free agents and would never join a team.

Even if you need to team up for an adventure, you can simply invite some friends who are also powerful figures who have reached the King level to explore together.

……

Meanwhile, on the main continent of Yanji, an E9-class spaceship was rapidly traversing the dark universe.

Inside the spaceship's control room, six immortal powerhouses exuding divine might sat together discussing the gains from their recent battle.

Suddenly, a thin young man, three or four meters tall, spoke up: "Brothers, a new recruit at the rank of Marquis has appeared in the military system!"

As soon as he said that, everyone looked over.

"Huh? A newcomer at the rank of Marquis!"

"That's way too exaggerated."

"Quickly, this newcomer is absolutely phenomenal, let's see if we can recruit him."

The moment the many immortal powerhouses spoke, the entire control room erupted in commotion.

"I've already sent the email, but there hasn't been a reply yet," the thin young man said.

"What a prodigy! A rookie at the Marquis level. If we can recruit him, our team will have four Marquis-level experts."

As the immortals were discussing amongst themselves, wisps of pale blue starlight suddenly swept out.

Then a Protoss woman, shrouded in a faint starlight, appeared in the control room.

"What are you discussing that's making you so excited?"

A clear, cool voice rang out, instantly attracting everyone's attention.

"Big Sister, I just invited a newly recruited soldier who was granted the title of Marquis. Isn't that amazing!" The skinny young man said with a boastful expression.

"Mmm, that's impressive!"

The Protoss woman gave a perfunctory reply, then checked the detailed information of this newly appointed marquis through the military system.

Just then, the skinny young man suddenly let out a strange cry and said, "This recruit who was granted the title of Marquis has replied to me, but he didn't immediately agree to join the squad. Instead, he invited us to meet at the barracks base."

Upon hearing this, the Star Spirit woman said directly, "Just agree to his agreement, and then we'll go and meet this newly appointed marquis."

"Okay, big sister!" the thin young man said quickly.
