“Fuse!” Under the purple-and-gold energy, Wu Qi cried out lightly, his hands locked into an incantation gesture. Countless trees and plants in the vast mountains surrounding the valley ejected green mist visible to the naked eyes, which turned into gusts of strong wind and headed straight for the south drill ground. The dense green mist converged into a dark green storm in the air, spraying down a rain of green spirit fluid without making any noise.
Such a spectacle immediately aroused the exclaim of officials and common people in the capital city. From afar came a rapid ringing of armor; Wu Dehou, who had only just left, ran back breathlessly with his group of generals. As they strode into the drill ground, they gaped at the 100,000 soldiers enveloped in purple-and-gold energy and green spirit fluid, their eyes wide as if they were seeing things.
Under their watchful glances, the 30,000 maimed cultivators in the forefront began to shiver; bones and muscles at their broken limbs wriggled as new arms and legs were rapidly growing out. In the crackling sound of bones growing, their broken limbs were reborn within the space of a dozen breaths, and the new arms or legs worked flexibly without any difficulty.
The potent energy poured madly into these cultivators and washed through their meridians repeatedly. They felt intense pain as if a fire was burning in them, but under the nourishment of the green spirit fluid, they had a cold, refreshing sensation at the same time. Their Nascent Soul and Gold Cores were constantly absorbing energy from the outside world without their control, and under a mighty, irresistible divine sense, they were undergoing a wonderful transformation.
A purple-and-gold lotus throne emerged beneath Wu Qi’s feet. Sitting cross-legged on it, he began to speak word by word of the Great Dao pointing straight to the mysterious of the Heavenly Dao which he had comprehended. Each word transformed into a fist-sized golden lotus flower and flew out of his mouth, breaking into golden specks and fusing with the cultivators.
30,000 cultivators listened with rapture to Wu Qi’s account of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao. They felt the veils of darkness obscuring their eyes in the past were suddenly ripped apart, and then a whole new world was gradually revealed to them; they felt they have been freed from the shackles of the fleshly bodies, all floating without any weight; they felt the boundless Heavenly Dao was washing through their souls, and they were like the fish in the torrent of the Heavenly Dao, so relaxed and comfortable. It was a wonderful feeling that could not be described with words.
Everyone’s overall strength was growing by leaps and bounds as Wu Qi used his blood essence to improve their attainment and cultivation base. Just then, a great rumble rang out from beneath the ground. A dozen giant energy veins in the vicinity were forcibly moved over by him with his powerful divine sense and converged beneath the capital city as one. Amid a deafening dragon roar, eighteen shadows of dragons rose from the earth to the sky with vast energy, forming a dense haze over the city. A faint fragrance filled the air, and all the old and young and sick in the city felt strong after smelling the scent, and soon all their old injuries and diseases were gone.
All of a sudden, Wu Qi thundered, “WAKE UP!”
30,000 cultivators, who were all crippled a few moments ago, opened their eyes and cried out in unison, each with a plume of white smoke towered hundreds of feet above his head, on top of which bloomed three lotus flowers. At this moment, all of them had stepped into the realm of Heaven Immortals. Although they had only become thirty-sixth-tier Heaven Immortals, the lowest tier, it was still an unimaginably queer event for so many cultivators breaking through at the same time, and it had drawn cries of alarm from all over the drill ground.
Wu Dehou sank to the ground on his bottom, and the generals behind him stepped back hurriedly in horror. “Is he a human? An immortal? A god? Or a saint? What an unbelievable divine power! Heaven!” someone exclaimed.
In the sky, 30,000 tribulation clouds the size of hassocks quickly appeared, joining together into a single monstrous cloud that gave off a terrifying aura of tribulation. The simultaneous breakthrough of 30,000 Heaven Immortals had caused their thunder tribulations to merge as one, which possessed a power comparable to the tribulation of a high-level Gold Immortal.
The horrible aura of thunder frightened Wu Dehou and his men into fleeing the drill ground. They instinctively sensed that the tribulation would pose a fatal threat to them.
Wu Tianming, who had long witnessed Wu Qi’s heaven-defying means, stood on his chariot and clapped his hands, shouting, “Master’s divine power is truly amazing!”
Wu Qi laughed. With just a wave of his hand, the tribulation cloud in the sky shattered and dispersed, and the immense pressure of tribulation that filled the void vanished in an instant. After that, he shouted at the 30,000 freshly baked Heaven Immortals, “Stand aside and receive your orders from His Majesty later!”
Fascinated by his astonishing means, the cultivators fell to their knees at the same time, kowtowed to him and cried out, “Greeting, Master Immortal! Please have mercy and take us as your followers! We are willing to serve you so that we can always listen to your teaching!”
Wu Qi pondered for a moment and then glanced at Wu Tianming. The emperor was trembling with excitement and nodding as fast as he could. The force of 30,000 Heaven Immortals was almost equivalent to the seventy percent of Great Wu’s total force. With it, he would no longer need to suffer from anyone’s temper in the court. Even he had become Wu Qi’s disciple, and he would not mind having 30,000 more junior brothers.
Nodding, Wu Qi pointed to the Heaven Immortals and said, “There are not many rules in my sect. As long as you respect your teacher and remain loyal to the sect, I will be your backer even if you poke a hole in the sky! Do you understand?”
30,000 Heaven Immortals answered in unison. They kowtowed at Wu Qi a dozen times and cried out ‘Master’ dozens of times, then rose to their feet and formed a huge phalanx behind the emperor’s chariot. At Wu Tianming’s command, they unleashed their flying swords at the same time and made them hovered in midair. The dazzling light of the swords stung the eyes of Wu Dehou and his men, who were peering from a distance.
These cultivators were originally part of Great Wu’s cultivator army, but were forced to retire due to serious injuries. Each of them owned a low-quality flying sword, and the light of the sword was only about ten feet long. However, as their cultivation base and magic power had soared now, the formation of 30,000 sword beams that hung mightily in the sky still made a spectacle sight.
After fixing the cultivators, Wu Qi turned to the three hundred phalanxes made up of young boys. Shaking his head, he sneered, “You are very lucky, for I still have some spirit pills that I concocted in those days, and I’ll use them on you today!” Taking a deep breath, he cried out at the top of his voice, “Rotate the cultivation techniques you’ve learned now!”
Having witnessed the magical scene, these teenagers had long regarded Wu Qi as a mighty god descended from heaven. At the sound of his loud cry, they hastily sat down cross-legged on the ground and rotated the cultivation techniques they had learned. Among them, some were practicing the Nine Rotations Indestructible Body, while others were practicing the True Body of Heaven and Earth Scripture. As soon as they began to meditate, faint purple mist swirled around their bodies.
Wu Qi took out a small jade bottle and turned it upside down. A crimson liquid with a pungent smell of blood poured out of it and injected into the teenagers’ bodies from the top of their heads. It was a spirit medicine he concocted with the blood essence taken from the Long Bo men in Dong Hai and a variety of spirit herbs, which had a very strong aid to the cultivation of human cultivation techniques. It could increase the cultivating speed of human warriors by more than ten times.
After pouring the liquid, Wu Qi quietly accelerated the time around these boys with Dark Yin Celestial Tower. With time accelerated and the increased cultivating speed, the boys’ bodies began to grow taller and stronger, and in just a very short time they all grown into fierce burly men.
Wu Qi retracted his divine power at the right time. The ‘burly men’ jumped to their feet at the same time, threw their heads back and roared, venting their endless energy and violent strength. With his help, the weakest of them had now stepped into the Three Stars Realm of the First Pangu Heaven, and the few with the best aptitude even approached the realm of Second Pangu Heaven.
With a cold snort, he put an end to the wild roaring. “I can make you, and I can destroy you too!” He said darkly as he looked down on the excited boys.
Although these boys had little experience, they were not stupid. Upon hearing that, they fell to their knees, kowtowed to Wu Qi and shouted together, “This disciple offers greeting, Master!”
30,000 freshly baked fierce warriors banged their heads nine times, cracking the ground of half the drill ground with their brute force.
Wu Qi waved his hand and ordered them to form a phalanx to the left of Wu Tianming’s chariot. The emperor danced with delight, glancing proudly at the pale-faced Wu Dehou and his men.
There were only 40,000 old men whose lives were coming to end. Wu Qi hovered over them like a god, crying out in a low, deep voice, “Give me your loyalty and I will extend your life by a thousand years! And, I will make an exception and accept you as disciples!”
All the old soldiers were stunned as they stared up at Wu Qi. One of them, who looked so old that he was about to die at any moment, snapped, “Is what Master Immortal said true? It takes a supreme-grade spirit pill to extend a man’s life by a thousand years!”
‘It took a supreme-grade spirit pill to extend a man’s life by a thousand years? What an ignorant bumpkin!’ Wu Qi scolded in his heart. He pointed out a finger, throwing a red pill into the old man’s body. The retired soldier froze as a powerful life force burst out from inside of him. In the next instant, his white hair was turning black, white teeth were growing in his mouth, and his dried skin suddenly cracked into pieces and fell away as his shriveled muscles swelled. In just the space of a few breaths, a burly man with a height of twelve feet, who seemed in his thirty, stood tall and strong in front of everyone.
After a full ten minutes of silence, 40,000 veterans knelt at the same time and began to kowtow. “Mercy, Master Immortal! We are willing to pledge our allegiance to Master Immortal!”
Wu Qi burst out laughing, lifted his hand and sprinkled numerous life-extending pills made with the sap of divine wood grown only in Yuan Ling Dark Realm. 40,000 veterans quickly regained their youth, and their overall strength soared with his deliberate help. Some managed to make smooth breakthroughs, stepping into the realm of the Second Pangu Heaven.
The army of 100,000 soldiers took on a whole new look in the blink of an eye. Wu Dehou, who had witnessed it all, swayed and fell awkwardly to the ground again.
The army of old, weak, sick, and crippled had transformed into a first-class force in the blink of an eye. The impact was simply too strong.
The only sound in the drill ground was Wu Tianming’s triumphant laughter.
