Chapter 606 Nine Hundred Battleships
The Eight Desolate Calendar lasted for 28,888 years. After constant compromises and deals within the Heavenly Court, the internal interests were finally divided up completely. The Heavenly Court also formed 900 warships in this year to replenish the three armies.
As the reserve army of heavenly warships, there is no chief commander. The chief commander is still Mei Xianren, but there are deputy commanders and lieutenant generals. There are 300 heavenly warships in the army, and one lieutenant general is responsible for ten warships.
Don't underestimate them as there are only ten warships. They represent one billion heavenly soldiers and generals, including frigates, patrol ships, reconnaissance ships, and newly added sabotage ships. The ten heavenly warships alone can attack a Taiyi-class universe.
The additional warships this time are entirely for the reinforcement of the front line. Each general is a Taiyi god or demon or his incarnation. The nine hundred heavenly warships represent ninety Taiyi gods or demons or their incarnations. This force is already very powerful.
Not to mention, Qinglian Daluo's clone also stayed on the warship. With Daluo-level combat power, he was able to guard the army of heavenly warships and turn any problems into safety. However, Qinglian Daluo himself still stayed in heaven.
Universe domain, the front line middle army.
Emperor Hongluan, Emperor Tiange, and the rest of the Golden Immortals and Taiyi from the Luotian Immortal Sect all sat together. Skynet turned on the projection, and Chen Lei, Zhao Hao, You Daozun, Jiang Youning and others all appeared on the screen.
"The latest news is that Master Ziyun and the ten major immortal sects have captured a hundred heavenly warships, with ten Taiyi gods and demons serving as deputy generals," Emperor Tiange said calmly, "More importantly, they have all gathered together to supplement the central army."
"It's my fault. I didn't expect them to collude, let alone say hello to us." You Daozun sighed, "I should have thought of it earlier. Fairy Yunxi is their trump card. She is the only reserve celestial consort. Although the emperor has never seen her, the empress approves of her. If not for this, the ten great immortal sects would not have succeeded in their plan."
After Emperor Tiange went to the Heavenly Palace warship, he had been keeping an eye on the sect, but he had no experience and no sensitivity, and he was slow to realize the actions of the ten major sects, so he took the initiative to admit his mistake this time.
“We have an ancient friendly relationship with Lingyun Immortal Sect that started from Qianyuan Realm. I didn’t expect that they would betray us this time.” Yan Xun said calmly, “Fortunately, Xingshen Sect did not participate, otherwise we would be the losers.”
"It's not that serious," Chen Lei said, "We are the number one sect in the Heavenly Court. We have been the loser from the beginning. I don't know how many people are jealous. There is nothing wrong with Lingyun Sect doing this. I am more concerned about Xingshen Sect."
"That's right," Jiang Youning took over the conversation, "Does the Star God Sect now not even care about the benefits of the Heavenly Palace warships? What exactly did they gain? Or what benefits did the Star Emperor give them that made them so confident."
"Don't worry about the Star God Sect," Emperor Tiange said, "We have a few things to do next, so you all need to pay attention. The first is to find a female fairy who meets the requirements of a Heavenly Consort. We need to carefully examine and consider her to make sure she is correct. The second is to find out their purpose in coming to the Central Army. If they are trying to seize power, we need to be prepared."
"It should be impossible to seize power," said the Golden Immortal from the Dimensional Universe. "The central army is where the warships are commanded. No matter how powerful they are, they would never do this. Their only purpose is probably to be the vanguard. Only in this way can they profit."
"Investigate first," Emperor Tiange said, "Third, we should pay attention to the movements of the ten major immortal sects. We need to see what they have done secretly, especially some things they have cooperated with each other. Only in this way can we figure out their purpose."
The meeting ended quickly and everyone who needed to leave left. Soon, only Emperor Tiange and Emperor Hongluan were left in the meeting room. The two were silent for a while.
"What do you think Master Ziyun's purpose is?" asked Emperor Hongluan.
"Fairy Yunxi's promotion to the position of Heavenly Consort is only the first step," Emperor Tiange said, "I know Master Ziyun very well. This woman is ambitious and smart. The key is that she knows how to take advantage of the situation and is very measured. Every step she takes is very precise."
In fact, he is just an old fox. He calculates every step a lot, for fear of making mistakes. Such a person cannot become an opponent, because he does not know when he will be tricked. If he really becomes an opponent, he will be killed at the first moment.
"So this time they joined forces to come to the Heavenly Palace warship for Fairy Yunxi?" Emperor Hongluan said thoughtfully, "Even if Fairy Yunxi becomes the Eighth Heavenly Concubine, what can it do? Lingyun Immortal Sect is at most Luofu Sect."
"It's different," Emperor Tiange shook his head and said, "The Emperor's Heavenly Consorts can only accommodate nine at present, one Emperor Empress, nine Heavenly Consorts, and eighteen Fairy Consorts. This involves the luck and status of the Heavenly Court. It can be reduced but not increased."
"Is there such a saying?" Emperor Hongluan frowned slightly. "Then what do you think is the benefit for them to go to great lengths to push Yun Xi to the top? In other words, what is their next step? Why don't I quite understand?"
"What the ten great sects are pursuing is the right to speak, as well as the same status and interests as Luotian Sect and Luofu Sect." Emperor Tiange said, "They pushed Fairy Yunxi to the top, on the one hand, to get a backer, on the other hand, to get the blessing of luck, and finally, to take care of Fairy Yunxi's future, just like Fairy Mei."
"Are you talking about the next commander-in-chief of the Heavenly Court expeditionary force?" Emperor Hongluan raised his eyebrows and said, "Even if it's the next time, Fairy Yunxi may not be promoted to Taiyi! Even if she is promoted to Taiyi, they can't guarantee that Yunxi can become a Heavenly Consort."
“So from now on, we will do our best to help Yun Xi.” Emperor Tiange sighed, “The Ten Great Immortal Sects and Yun Xi are interdependent. Once Yun Xi takes the throne, the Ten Great Immortal Sects will be Yun Xi’s best partners, and even their confidence.”
"If that's all, there's no need to worry," said Emperor Hongluan. "There are many ways to improve the competitiveness of a sect. It's indeed worthwhile to push Yun Xi to become a Heavenly Consort, but it won't make other sects interested. So what do you know?"
"Innate Qi." Emperor Tiange said helplessly, "The Emperor has prepared innate Qi for every Heavenly Consort. Before Mei Xianren became a Heavenly Consort, the Emperor and Empress gave her a large jar. After becoming a Heavenly Consort, she can have innate Qi whenever she wants."
The innate qi is inexhaustible and not precious to Chen Jingzhai, but to any immortal, even a strand of it is extremely precious. Even the Taiyi gods and demons need enough innate qi to refine their magical powers.
For the Taoist sects, the innate qi is the most precious treasure. A celestial immortal needs to integrate the innate qi to advance to a golden immortal, and a golden immortal needs to practice the innate qi to advance to the Taiyi level. Now that changes have occurred in the Eight Desolate Universe, it is becoming increasingly difficult for immortals to break through, especially for a golden immortal to break through to Taiyi, which is extremely difficult.
Without the innate qi, it is impossible to break through, or even have the possibility of a breakthrough. This is fatal to the Taoist sects, so the innate qi will only become more and more precious, and it is simply a pipe dream to exchange it with merit points.
"You have never mentioned this before." Emperor Hongluan frowned and said.
“Because it’s not a good thing,” Emperor Tiange said helplessly, “Both Tianfeis gave their innate energy to the sect, not to any particular lineage. They have provided support from a long time ago, but outsiders don’t know about it. It was all witnessed by me connecting with their peaks and veins, and the amount was not much at a time.”
If Li Yueli and Pei Dong'er had not secretly given some innate energy, the Luotian Immortal Sect would not have suddenly become so powerful in such a short period of time. Even before the Emperor broke through, in order to seize the opportunity, Sect Master Tiange gave up his reputation and asked for a lot of innate energy. It can be said that the Heavenly Concubine has blessed the entire Luotian Immortal Sect.
This matter is not so glorious after all. To the Heavenly Concubine, the innate energy is the favor of the Emperor. To the Immortal Sect, it is the care of the Heavenly Concubines. But to other immortals or immortal sect forces, this is clear cheating.
Once the matter is exposed, the impact will be huge. If it causes dissatisfaction among other immortal forces, Tianfei will also be affected. It will be terrible if the innate energy cannot fall into the hands of the sect. Therefore, he has not told anyone until now.
"That makes sense," Emperor Hongluan said, "The importance of innate energy is beyond doubt. If we can have the care of the Heavenly Concubine, the Immortal Sect will naturally benefit infinitely. But how did she know about this?"
“Don’t forget the Immortal Consort,” Emperor Tiange said helplessly, “Although the Immortal Consort’s treatment is not as good as that of the Heavenly Consort, she still has a share of the innate energy. The Immortal Consort has it, so how can the Heavenly Consort not have it? It’s just a matter of how much.”
"That's right," Hongluan Emperor nodded slightly, "In that case, how are you going to deal with what happens next? They are coming to the central army, they definitely won't just be there to gain credit, I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns."
"They came to the middle because of the personal mobilization of Mei Xianren, whom I asked for." Tiange Emperor said, "In fact, when they appeared in the second batch of Heavenly Court warships, Mei Xianren greeted me and I suggested transferring them to the central army."
"So that's how it is." Emperor Hongluan smiled slightly.
Since Mei Xianren and Tiange Emperor have reached a tacit understanding, then letting the ten great sects come to the central army is not a bad thing. After all, Mei Xianren is from Luofu Sect, and the rise of the ten great sects will have the greatest impact on Luofu Sect.
"In fact, the ten great sects are not as close as we thought. After all, they cannot bear to see Lingyun Sect have one more Heavenly Consort. The ten lieutenant generals were previously distributed in three routes." Emperor Tiange said, "What we can do is to have them concentrate on the central army and personally monitor their actions."
"Since you have made the arrangements, why do you do this?" asked Emperor Hongluan.
"The sect's reaction was too slow. I found that after I left, the people in charge of the sect became much lax." Emperor Tiange smiled bitterly, "This shouldn't be the case. I can't always be the headmaster. It's time to train the next one."
Slow reaction is a good word. In fact, after Emperor Tiange came to the Heavenly Palace battleship, the Luotian Immortal Sect even experienced some chaos. In the past, there were six major veins with clear boundaries, and even without a head teacher, each vein could be managed well. Now that the boundaries between the peak veins are blurred, it is these peak vein elders who are concerned.
Without Emperor Tiange, they had other thoughts, and these thoughts were not small, and they were carried out very carefully. If Emperor Tiange had not been in charge of Luotian Immortal Sect for many years, they would not even be able to detect it. This was the reason why You Daozun did not react, it was not that he was slow to react, but that there was a problem in the sect.
"You are thoughtful." Emperor Hongluan sighed.
She stayed in the Daluo Universe just because she didn't want to get involved in the sect's problems, and she also approved of Emperor Tiange's resignation as the head sect master. After all, Luotian Immortal Sect was everyone's sect, not the sect of a particular immortal.
The longer Emperor Tiange stays, the greater his influence in the sect will be, which is not conducive to the sect's development and internal unity. Stepping down at a fixed time is the best way. Besides, Emperor Tiange now does not need the sect's fortune to bless him. Instead, he is the one who blesses the sect.
"I am going to formulate a plan for the headmaster," Emperor Tiange looked at her and said, "The headmaster is elected every ten thousand years and can be re-elected three times. After three times, he must step down. The headmaster's cultivation must start from the Golden Immortal. What do you think?"
"I have no objection to starting from the Golden Immortal level, but won't the time be too short?" Emperor Hongluan hesitated, "You know, the current situation is different from before. We don't know when the Heavenly Court expedition will end. Maybe it won't stop for tens of thousands of years."
"Then wait a little longer." Emperor Tiange nodded slightly. This was indeed a reality that had to be faced. The universe was indeed very large, and the journey took a lot of time. The expedition would not end so soon. "Let's tell everyone first, let's discuss it internally, and further screen those immortals who are willing to volunteer to be the headmaster."
The matter was settled, and the two disappeared one after the other. The content of this meeting was also spread within the Luotian Immortal Sect. Only Taiyi and Jinxian knew about it. The reaction within the sect was strong, causing quite a stir.
The most lively thing on the Skynet is that the Heavenly Court has started a live broadcast. At any time, one can see from the Skynet that 900 Heavenly Court warships are divided into three batches entering the universe domain. Wherever they appear is the latest universe to belong.
Almost all the immortals were watching the live broadcast, even Qinglian Daluo was watching. He had recently been preaching in the Skynet and had also obtained the identity of a lecturer in the Heavenly Academy. Although his preaching videos required a certain amount of Yuanqi coins, the quality was high and even Taiyi gods and demons were willing to buy them.
Therefore, Qinglian Daluo lived a very comfortable life, but when he saw the live broadcast of the nine hundred heavenly warships setting out, he could not help but get excited. As a Daluo who was transformed from the Qinglian earth fire, he liked big scenes and hated being alone.
He likes the hustle and bustle of the Eight Desolate Universe, which is what attracts him. Nine hundred Heavenly Court warships going out to fight may not seem like a lot, but those huge Heavenly Court warships can still bring visual impact. For Qinglian Daluo, this is also the first time he has seen it.
The most amazing thing is Skynet. A Heavenly Palace warship is directly teleported to the newly joined universe. There are 300 armies along the way, all teleported instantly at the same time. It is extremely incredible. Even Qinglian Daluo feels it is unreal if he has experienced it personally.
This kind of ability, if used by an ordinary Daluo, would consume a lot of energy, and it would require a deep attainment in the way of time and space. How could it be possible for an ordinary immortal to use it like Skynet?
