Chapter 2930: Training Legions
In the ninety-nine heavens of the Heaven Realm, Ye Futian’s Small World was also getting busy as the cultivators of the Human Realm were mobilizing across various continents.
The Human Ancestor was adamant about initiating the war of the Seven Realms. He also wanted to involve cultivators from all levels. No one could keep out of this war. Even though Ye Futian wanted to avoid the war, he couldn’t do so.
Now, he could only prepare for war.
As soon as he could, Ye Futian rallied the forces of the Heaven Realm. Donghuang the Great did the same in the Divine Prefecture. They wanted to gather the Renhuang Plane cultivators to join the war.
Last time, they wanted to avoid dragging others into the war. However, it was unavoidable for others to stay out of the war this time. They could only face the battle head-on. To do so, they had to first build up their strength.
Renhuang Plane cultivators would be critical to this war. Ye Futian and Donghuang the Great gathered these cultivators in the ninety-nine heavens to train them rapidly. With the time difference, the cultivators could be trained to become top-level Renhuangs and even near-deities. That way, these cultivators could serve their most crucial function in the upcoming war.
After the summon had been sent out, Wutian Buddha Lord, Tianyin Buddha Lord, their disciples, and Chen Yi and the others were in charge of receiving those who answered the call. They would bring these people into the ninety-nine heavens and train them in cultivation.
The Heaven Realm, the Divine Prefecture, and the Buddhist sects were all busy.
Similar to the cultivators of the Human Realm being admitted to the Human Divine Palace, the Heaven Realm and the Divine Prefecture cultivators also rushed to the Heavenly Imperial City and were allowed to enter the ninety-nine heavens.
When they came to the ninety-nine heavens, they discovered that the place was like a completely new world that had been remade. It was actually a universe on its own.
One of the planets in this universe was like a solar furnace. It was filled with scorching currents of heat. Many Great Emperors and cultivators were on the planet. Their leader was the Alchemy Great Emperor, Daoist Monk Mu. This planet was an alchemy planet. It was filled with the aura of elixirs. Daoist Monk Mu led the cultivators of the Alchemy Palace and concocted elixirs here.
In another similar continent, Blind Tie was in charge of leading the members of the Armoring Palace in forging weapons. They manufactured large quantities of divine arms for the troops below the Imperial Realm.
Aside from that, Blind Tie would personally forge divine arms for a group of core members. Even Ye Futian would personally forge divine arms for the top figures below the Imperial Realm.
As for the other cultivators, they were also busy training the legions. Donghuang the Great was personally in charge of this. Each level handled things in an orderly manner, and things were not chaotic.
The closer they were to the war, the less chaotic they could be. Donghuang the Great had experienced war firsthand. He grew up and rose to the throne during a war. He naturally knew what to do.
Donghuang Diyuan, Gu Dongliu, and the other commanders supported Donghuang the Great in training the legions. Every cultivator performed their duties and did what needed to be done. In this Small World, massive changes were occurring every day. A day in the outside world was equivalent to 81 days here.
They were all aware that they were at an absolute disadvantage in terms of numbers and the initiative this time. In order to stand against the Human Realm, they could only strengthen their core power. The six legions would serve as their main force, while the Renhuang Plane cultivators gathered would support them. This arrangement was their only hope of achieving victory.
One of the planets was overflowing with a piercing aura. The cold gleam of weapons filled the entire planet. The aura of the Great Path emanating from the planet was also sharp.
In front of a majestic gate, a silhouette sat cross-legged. Divine arms circled his body. Before him, a group of 1,000 cultivators was cultivating under his instruction. Powerful, sharp auras surged from their figures. Some people even seemed to transform into divine arms.
“To walk the Path of The Weapon is to be indestructible. Everything will be destroyed. Every technique will be negated,” said Wang Yanbing. His gaze was as piercing as divine arms. He looked at the cultivators before him and roared, “To walk the Path of The Weapon is to not have a body of flesh. There is only the weapon. Our bodies are our divine arms.”
After Wang Yanbing lost to Gu Dongliu in the Lower Worlds, he worked even harder in his cultivation. He had cultivated the Path of the Weapon in the Celestial Gate of Vast Heaven and had been improving at a rapid pace. Although he wasn’t as powerful as Gu Dongliu, he still clearly knew what he wanted and ceaselessly pursued after his own Path.
Now, he was teaching the other cultivators how to cultivate like a grandmaster.
There was a continent of monstrous beasts nearby. This continent was full of monstrous auras. Although various monsters were cultivating, it was very organized. All the monstrous beasts were working hard to improve themselves.
There were many powerful divine beast bloodlines such as the Dragon clan, the Divine Elephants, and the Peng Bird Clan.
The elders of the Dragon clan, the Sky Demon Court, and the Divine Elephants were in charge of training the troops of the monstrous beasts. There were a few super-powerful monsters on the Demon God Mountain of this continent.
Their leader was actually Little Condor. His gaze was sharp as he glanced in all directions. Beside him was a phoenix. They were in charge of the troops of the demon clan.
Aside from these two continents, there was another planet in their vicinity. They were all under the Heavenly Mandate Legion, one of the six legions under the command of Gu Dongliu. Be it Wang Yanbing or Little Condor; they were all part of this legion.
This segmentum was called the Heavenly Mandate Segmentum.
On the main planet of the Heavenly Mandate Segmentum, Gu Dongliu was in the current Heavenly Mandate Academy. Right now, many people were with him. Dou Zhao, Xiao Muyu, Long Chen, Jun, and the others were all here. They now served as Gu Dongliu’s aids, supporting him in managing the Heavenly Mandate Legion.
“How are the troops?” asked Gu Dongliu as he glanced at the others present. He was now a super cultivator. He should not need to inquire on the cultivation of those under him. However, these were desperate times. They needed to amass an army for war. Even Great Emperors took part in the training of the legions.
Xiao Muyu reported, “These past few days have been extremely hectic. However, we have now established an order. Everything is beginning to fall into place and can run on its own. That way, even if more and more people come from the outside world, we can still rapidly absorb them into the training regime and make them part of our combat power.”
“I am looking forward to the start of the battle,” said Dou Zhao somewhat excitedly. The Dou tribe had always enjoyed battles. This was in their blood.
“Demon God Planet is on track too,” added Long Chen.
“Hmm,” responded Gu Dongliu as he nodded his head. “Do not get careless. This time, the enemies we are facing are like none the Heavenly Mandate Realm have encountered before. They are all of the top forces of the Human Realm, the Empty Divine Realm, and the other realms. Any one of these forces could have easily crushed all the cultivators of the Heavenly Mandate Realm in the past.”
“We are not what we once were. How can you compare us to our past selves now?” said Dou Zhao confidently. He was also one of the core members and had always received the best cultivation resources. His abilities were very powerful now.
“In terms of numbers, we are at an absolute disadvantage. The legions we are training need to be able to overwhelm the opponent and strike fear in their hearts,” replied Gu Dongliu.
“Fear not; we will certainly make it happen,” answered Dou Zhao confidently!
