Many people had entered the Star Pagoda.
Some people did not pass the test, but when they came out of the pagoda, they had different gains.
So …
Now that the Star Pagoda had appeared again, many people went to challenge it.
The pagoda stood in the city.
In front of the pagoda, there was a person who looked similar to Qin Shujian standing there like a puppet.
That was an incarnation that Qin Shujian had created with his Quintessential Essence and a wisp of Divine Will.
It did not have much strength.
It was just to maintain the daily operation of the Star Pagoda.
In the Heavenly Court …
After Qin Shujian threw the Star Pagoda to the Fallen Immortal Region, he said slowly, "The war is imminent. The Heavenly Soldiers will be selected every other year. We must gather 100,000 soldiers.
As for the Heavenly Generals, it's the same.
I hope that the Heavenly Court will have 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and 1,000 Heavenly Generals in the future. "
100,000 Heavenly Soldiers!
That was just the most basic data.
In the third era, the Heavenly Court had hundreds of millions of Heavenly Soldiers.
But that was then and this was now.
In the current era, the strength of the Great Wide World was weak and could not be compared to the third era.
It was impossible for hundreds of millions of Heavenly Soldiers to exist.
After all, Perfected Immortals had only been born more than ten years ago. The Heavenly Court had only been established for a little more than ten years. Having 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers was almost the limit.
More.
There needed to be a buffer time.
Now that the power of the stars in the heavens had been drawn down and shone on the Great Wide World, the method of spoiling things through excessive enthusiasm was almost used to the extreme.
It would be difficult to speed up.
The Demon Emperor said, "The Heavenly Soldiers' cultivation is only around the Heavenly Human Saint realm. The Heavenly Generals are slightly stronger, but they are only around the tenth level of the Heavenly Human Realm.
If the Emperor Of Heaven wants to nurture this group of people to a level where they can dominate a region, I'm afraid it will take a lot of resources and a long time.
I think that there's no need to recruit too many Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. "
In front of a Perfected Immortal, 99.9% of the Heavenly Human Realm were no different from ants.
Not to mention killing a large number of them with a slap, it would be too difficult to kill them.
The Emperor Of Heaven, who could rival a Perfected Immortal at the Heavenly Human Realm, was hard to come by in a million years. There was no comparison at all.
With such resources.
It was much better to leave them to feed the existing True Immortals than to nurture Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals.
Many people showed expressions of approval when they heard this.
They did not recommend recruiting too many Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals. The main reason was that the Celestial Soldiers and Celestial Generals were of limited use.
If a war really broke out, they would be cannon fodder.
Qin Shujian said, "For a Genuine Immortal, Celestial Beings are naturally ants. But Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals are different. I have a formation. If I can gather 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers, I can even kill a Genuine Immortal."
He did not say much about the Heavenly Soldiers. Instead, he looked at Xiao Chengfeng.
"Four Wargods!"
"Present!"
"All the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals of the Heavenly Court will be under your command. Each God of War can command 250 Heavenly Generals and 25,000 Heavenly Soldiers."
As he spoke, Qin Shujian waved his hand and a ray of light appeared, landing directly on the foreheads of Xiao Chengfeng and the others.
Immediately.
The four of them instinctively closed their eyes. After a few breaths, they opened them again.
Qin Shujian said, "I will bestow upon you a technique. You can impart it to all the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. Apart from the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals, no one is allowed to practice it without permission. Those who violate the rules will be executed without mercy.
At the same time, you cannot neglect the practice of the formation. Similarly, you cannot teach it to others. "
Hearing this.
Xiao Chengfeng and the others cupped their hands and replied, "Yes, Master!"
When the others saw this, their eyes involuntarily fell on Xiao Chengfeng and the others.
Although the Heavenly Soldiers were not very useful to them.
Now that the Spirit Qi had increased, the cultivation environment had greatly improved.
Each of the clans had a significant number of deva cultivators, and were far more powerful than they had been in the past.
In some of the big clans.
It would not be difficult to bring out hundreds of thousands of Celestial Beings and tens of thousands of Saints.
However —
Qin Shujian's original words and his mysterious imparting of the technique made the other gods think differently.
Indeed.
Celestial Beings were like ants in front of Perfected Immortals. However, there was no guarantee that the Emperor Of Heaven had some other means to make the Heavenly Soldiers work so well.
What he said about killing Perfected Immortals was also a matter worth discussing.
Only Emperor Zhao's expression changed slightly.
Formation!
If he guessed correctly, the reason why the Heavenly Soldiers could be so useful was because of the existence of the formation.
That was because the Great Zhao also had a military formation.
However, although the military formation was powerful, it could only fight against Celestial Beings at most. It was far from being able to fight against Perfected Immortals.
"The Emperor Of Heaven should have an even more powerful military formation."
Emperor Zhao thought to himself.
The Great Zhao's military formation was included in the legacy of the Heavenly Court when he received it.
Naturally, something from the Ancient Heavenly Court would not be bad.
However.
The current Heavenly Court was not weaker than the Ancient Heavenly Court in some aspects. In fact, it was even superior.
"I left the Heavenly Court some time ago and traveled to the Outer Realm. I found many planets to return to, but just as I was about to return, I suddenly encountered Demon Abyss."
"Demon Abyss!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the expressions of the gods changed drastically.
Xiao Chengfeng said in a deep voice, "The Emperor Of Heaven encountered Demon Abyss in the Outer Realm!"
"That's right!"
Qin Shujian nodded and said calmly, "Wherever Demon Abyss passes, the surrounding space will become a land of no return. Any living being that enters Demon Abyss will be corroded by Demon Abyss and become its puppet.
At this moment, Demon Abyss is coming to the Great Thousand World. If you explore the Outer Realm in the future, you must retreat immediately when you encounter Demon Abyss.
Otherwise, even Perfected Immortals may die. "
When they talked about Demon Abyss.
The gods' hearts were heavy.
Apart from Xiao Chengfeng, the others had not really experienced the Great Tribulation of Demon Abyss. They only knew about the threat of Demon Abyss from the inheritance of their race.
However, to be honest, they had never seen Demon Abyss.
Xiao Chengfeng's expression was solemn as he said in a deep voice, "The Outer Realm is divided into three levels. The first is where the Great Thousand World is, which occupies a part of the Outer Realm.
Part of it is where Demon Abyss and Ferocious Beasts are.
This part of the Extraterritorial Void was also the most vast. It was much larger than the other two layers of Extraterritorial Void.
As for the last part of the Outer Realm, it is called the Forbidden Zone. "
"Forbidden Zone?"
The Demon Emperor revealed a puzzled expression.
The way he looked at Xiao Chengfeng had already become strange.
The Demon Emperor realized that Xiao Chengfeng seemed to know a lot about the Outer Realm and Demon Abyss.
In fact.
There were not many people who knew that Xiao Chengfeng was the reincarnation of the Ancient Immortal Lord Haocang.
Xiao Chengfeng said, "The so-called Forbidden Zone is where Demon Abyss exists. It is a forbidden zone for living beings. Any living being that enters the Forbidden Zone will not have the chance to come out.
In fact, the Forbidden Zone is not fixed. The Forbidden Zone is where Demon Abyss is.
Therefore.
Now that Demon Abyss is approaching, Demon Abyss' living space will also be suppressed.
In the end, Demon Abyss only has two choices.
One is to struggle in the Forbidden Zone and be completely devoured by the Forbidden Zone and become Demon Abyss's puppet. The other is to attack the Great Thousand World and steal its Origin.
There has always been a rumor about Demon Abyss.
After devouring the Origin of the Great Thousand World, it can break the shackles of the Demon Emperor and reach the legendary Sacred Demon Realm.
After reaching that realm, the Forbidden Zone of Demon Abyss will not be a threat. "
Xiao Chengfeng's voice echoed in the Heavenly Palace.
This information was a secret to most of the Gods.
Now that they heard Xiao Chengfeng's words, they gradually understood.
"Therefore …"
"When Demon Abyss calms down, I'm afraid it will attack the Heavenly Court first!"
As Xiao Chengfeng said this, he took a step forward and cupped his hands at Qin Shujian.
"The Heavenly Emperor has no choice but to guard against the Void Demons!"
"The Eastern God of War is right. I have already made preparations for this."
Qin Shujian nodded.
There was no possibility of reconciliation between Demon Abyss and the Great Thousand World.
Therefore.
There was no third option for both sides to join forces.
Because Demon Abyss needed the Origin of the Great Thousand World. Only by obtaining the Origin of the Great Thousand World could the Demon Emperor break the original shackles and break through to the Sacred Demon Realm.
Even if the two sides cooperated on the surface, the Heavenly Court had to be careful of Demon Abyss stabbing them in the back.
Compared to asking a tiger for its skin, Qin Shujian was more willing to use a more direct method.
Moreover, there was no need for the Heavenly Court to waste time with Demon Abyss.
With the current strength of the Heavenly Court.
If they really went to war, they had a chance of winning.
The longer they delayed.
The faster Qin Shujian felt his strength increasing.
Not to mention other things, just now that he had returned from the Outer Realm, his strength was already stronger than when the Heavenly Court had just left the Outer Realm.
At Qin Shujian's realm.
Even if it was just a little stronger, it was still a significant increase.
Moreover.
He was certain that Demon Emperor Ba Duo's strength had definitely not recovered to its peak.
"However, the Void Evil Demon Clan knows the method of blood sacrifice, so they might have other unorthodox methods. The Law Monument is damaged, but it's not completely impossible to recover." Qin Shujian thought to himself.
The Law Monument was damaged. Although the injury was serious.
But in his opinion, there were other ways to repair it, and it was not as simple as one.
Therefore, Qin Shujian wasn't sure if those Demon Emperors had mastered such a method.
If not, it would be for the best.
But if they did.
Perhaps it would really be a fierce battle.
"Hurry up and carry out the matter of the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals. In addition, let the cultivators of the ten thousand races in the Outer Realm Battlefield explore the Outer Realm with all their might.
Although the Demon Emperor is the biggest threat, being able to kill the other Void Evil Demons can also indirectly weaken a portion of their strength. "
Qin Shujian said indifferently.
Hearing this.
The Mountain Breaking Emperor nodded and replied, "Emperor Of Heaven, don't worry. I will take care of the Heavenly Soldiers later."
"If the Perfected Immortals of the Heavenly Court are about to break through, you can stay here and seek for a breakthrough. If you don't have an opportunity for a breakthrough, you can also go to the Outer Realm Void to look for opportunities.
No matter when, battle is the best medicine for a breakthrough.
Your True Spirits are already on the God roll. Even if you die in the Outer Realm Void, you can be reborn in the God roll.
As long as you are not killed by a Dao Fruit level existence, you will not really die. "
Qin Shujian said in a deep voice.
"Emperor Of Heaven, do you mean that even the God roll can't revive us when a Dao Fruit level existence makes a move?" Xi Yang was stunned.
This news surprised him a little.
In addition to Xi Yang, the others were startled too.
They had always thought that.
Apart from the end of their lifespan, the God roll could always preserve their True Spirits, but now it seemed that this was not the case.
Qin Shujian said, "When a Dao Fruit level existence makes a move, they can not only erase the current you, but also the past, the future, and the present. They can also erase all traces of your existence.
You weren't born into the Investiture of the Gods. If you were killed before you entered the Investiture of the Gods, then you would have naturally perished.
Of course, it is not only Dao Fruit level existence that can attack the past. Even a Ninth Heaven Immortal can do it.
However, the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath, because you have all existed for thousands of years. Even if a Ninth Heaven Immortal crosses the river of time to attack, the God roll will stop him. "
Experts on the Investiture of the Gods would receive the protection of the Investiture of the Gods.
Even a Ninth Heaven Immortal would not be able to break the God roll's protection and completely kill the living beings on the roll.
"More importantly, if a powerhouse really breaks through the God roll's obstruction and kills you, the God roll can also find traces of your existence in the past and future of the river of time.
At that time, it can absorb a trace of the imprint and be reborn as a True Spirit.
However, if a Dao Fruit level existence makes a move, no traces will be left behind. This is the difference between the two. "
Qin Shujian said calmly.
The Deities understood.
To put it bluntly, one was not completely wiped out, while the other was completely wiped out.
The God roll was not omnipotent.
If they really encountered a Dao Fruit level existence, they could only blame themselves for being unlucky.
Qin Shujian said, "However, as far as I know, there are no living Dao Fruit level existences in this era, so there is no need to worry for the time being that a Dao Fruit level existence will attack and directly wipe you out.
There are many Demon Kings and Demon Emperors among the demons in the void. If we can take this opportunity to wipe out some of them, the pressure on the Heavenly Court will be greatly reduced in the future. "
"Apart from that —"
"There is one more thing you need to do in the void beyond, and that is to collect Star Cores!"
In the end, Qin Shujian added another sentence.
Star Cores?
The Deities exchanged glances.
This term was very unfamiliar to them.
Xiao Chengfeng frowned slightly and asked tentatively, "Is the Star Core that the Emperor Of Heaven speaks of the core left behind after the destruction of a star?"
"That's right. The Milky Way is of great use to me. It is related to whether we can contend against the Demon Abyss in the future, so we must collect Star Cores."
After Qin Shujian finished speaking, True Essence surged with a wave of his hand.
The image of a Star Core appeared in front of everyone.
"This is the Star Core, the core left behind after the destruction of a star. However, don't touch the ancient stars outside the Greater Thousand Domains. There are sealed Star Beasts inside.
Each of those Star Beasts is a powerful existence, and many of them are even comparable to upper-level True Immortals.
If the ancient stars are destroyed, the Heavenly Court will have to temporarily give up on the battlefield outside. "
Qin Shujian was also worried. What if some True Immortal lost his mind and shattered the stars outside the Great Thousand World and released the sleeping star beasts inside? At that time, the number of casualties would not be small.
Right now, refining Zhou Tian's Star Map required a large number of Star Cores.
After wandering in the Outer Realm for a few months, he had only obtained a few Star Cores. It was far from the 365 Star Cores that Zhou Tian's Star Map required.
Therefore, he could only ask the other True Immortals of the Heavenly Court for help.
Otherwise, even if he spent a few years alone, he would not be able to find enough Star Cores.
When the Gods heard this, they bowed and accepted the order.
"Yes, Master!"
"Dismissed." Qin Shujian waved his hand, and the court meeting was officially over.
After the Gods left.
Qin Shujian left the Heavenly Palace and went directly above the Heavenly Court.
The Greater Thousand Domains was divided into three layers.
The lowest layer was the core of the Great Thousand World, which was located beneath the earth.
There were also unpredictable dangers in the depths of the earth.
Almost no ordinary cultivator would go deep there.
The middle layer was where the thousands of races lived. It was located above the ground and below the sky. It was also the largest area in the Greater Thousand Domains.
The words of the highest level.
It was where the Heavenly Court was now — the astral wind layer!
The astral wind layer did not sound big, but in fact, it was the same length as the entire Greater Thousand Domains. In terms of height, although it was not as high as the ground to the sky, it was still tens of thousands of feet high.
The Heavenly Court only occupied a small area of the astral wind layer.
Above the Heavenly Court was Zhou Tian's Star Map. Above Zhou Tian's Star Map was still the astral wind layer.
Qin Shujian broke through the Heavenly Court's formation and came directly above Zhou Tian's Star Map.
There.
There was a long sword standing there. Vast astral power lingered around it, as if a powerful cultivator was cultivating in seclusion.
It sensed Qin Shujian's arrival.
The long sword vibrated, and a cold voice came from it. "The Emperor Of Heaven is here."
"Yes, how are you?"
Qin Shujian smiled faintly.
San Hua said calmly, "Connate Cardinal treasures can't improve. It's like a day in billions of years. What changes can there be?"
"It's said that there's still a path above Connate Cardinal treasures."
"The Dao is endless. Connate Cardinal treasures naturally have a path above them. But even if there's a path, it's not so easy to take."
There was some emotion in San Hua's cold voice.
The higher one's realm was, the less one would think that one had reached the peak.
The Dao was endless.
Only when one reached a certain level could one understand the meaning of this sentence better.
Whether it was Dao Fruit experts or Connate Cardinal treasures, they were not the true end.
"Perhaps after breaking through the universe and truly discarding the false and leaving the true behind, there's a chance to see the path ahead!"
San Hua sighed.
He also wanted to break through the current shackles and break through to a higher level.
Connate Cardinal treasures had a good name, but after leaving their host, their strength was not too strong.
Or else …
He would not have been subdued by Qin Shujian.
At the end of the day, his strength was inferior and he had no choice but to submit.
"If you can transform and have a real physical body, perhaps you'll be a Dao Fruit expert." Qin Shujian's gaze fell on the long sword, and he said with a serious expression.
