Chapter 1201: The Second Marshal of the Profound Heaven Sect, Great Sun Canghai Tianjun
Ten years is an extremely short time for a Soul Transformation cultivator.
The treasure undergoes Tribulation Crossing, sword techniques and Gong Fa are deduced, cultivation proceeds, participation in the Profound Heaven Sect's Void Refinement Scripture project and Dao-Forming Army Array projects, one person serving as dozens, busy and bustling.
Jiang Ding's own feeling was that after thinking for a while, ten years had passed.
There was no real discomfort.
For two thousand years, he had long been accustomed to this life: cultivation, research, war; all Profound Heaven Sect Canghai Tianjun are like this.
On this day, Jiang Ding sealed numerous research materials, or handed them over to his clones to manage, and arranged all matters within the Profound Heaven Sect.
Voom!
At the same time, the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi detached from the Profound Heaven Sect's thirty-third Big Dipper orbit and moved toward the Banyan Super Transmission Array outside the Sect's mother star.
Here, Canghai Tianjun Zhenjun Shenji and other Profound Heaven Sect Canghai Tianjun were already waiting.
The Great Sun Dayang Tianchi docked.
A youth in green robes descended, landing before the crowd.
"Blessings!"
"Blessings, Great Sun Canghai Tianjun, sweep away the rebellion in Jiao Jiao Mingyu and return victorious!"
Canghai Tianjun Zhenjun Shenji bowed deeply, offering a profound salute.
Every time the Profound Heaven Sect fleet embarked on an expedition, he would bid farewell this way, blessing the citizen fleet with safety and a victorious return, opening up living space for Profound Heaven Sect citizens, expanding lands and spiritual veins under the sun.
"Respected seniors, I will do my utmost."
Jiang Ding returned the salute.
Afterwards, he turned and left.
Canghai Tianjun Gu Lin commanded the Green God Special Space Army Group to follow; tens of thousands of warships, aerospace carriers, and the like likewise flew into the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi.
This was the reinforced Imperial Guard Space Army Group assigned to Jiang Ding by the Profound Heaven Sect.
Besides combat and slaughter, they would also undertake certain political functions, such as stabilizing Minor Thousand Worlds locally, and serving as officer seeds after military expansion.
It would become the norm for Jin Dan cultivators to command division-level and army-level conscript fleets, and for Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun to command army-group-level conscript forces.
In a conscript space fleet of tens of thousands of cultivators, the number of Profound Heaven Sect citizens might be only dozens, occupying various core positions.
Among this, high demands were placed on the commander's military and political qualities; the difficulty was not small.
Within the Great Sun Dayang Tianchi, various fleets flew into the military camp.
Canghai Tianjun Gu Lin and her army group staff arrived at the Sun Abyss; here they met the Great Sun Canghai Tianjun in quiet meditation, along with numerous Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun staff from the Profound Heaven Sect's Jiao Jiao Mingyu Second Expeditionary Army General Staff.
A dim star map floated and sank around them, showing the locations of one hundred Minor Thousand Worlds in Jiao Jiao Mingyu and the distribution of rebel forces upon them.
The race names of the rebels in that area, their strength, the number of Soul Transformation cultivators and Nascent Soul cultivators, the power of their army arrays...
Gu
Lin Canghai Tianjun's gaze paused for a moment on a marked point named Skull Mountain Minor Realm.
Skull Mountain Minor Realm, the ancestral land of the former domain hegemon power, the Skull Blood Vine Demon Race; during the thousand-year war, domain order collapsed, the Horned Demon Imperial Clan's rule fell, the Skull Blood Vine Demon Race rose amidst the chaos, quickly seized that realm, then expanded outward, initially forming a domain-level power.
Currently possessing eleven Soul Transformation stage cultivators and seventeen hundred Nascent Soul cultivators...
... Twenty-seven years ago, instigated by Shadow Demon Abyss cultivators, the leader of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Race, a mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivator named 'Steel Bone', slaughtered fifteen thousand and seventy-two Profound Heaven Sect citizens in Skull Mountain Minor Realm and other areas, destroyed the Profound Heaven Sect's tax institutions, law enforcement agencies, and agricultural departments there, proclaimed himself Skull Vine Emperor, and established the Skull Blood Vine Demon Imperial Court.
"Jiang Ding, look."
"The Skull Blood Vine Demon Race truly has the bearing of a hegemon."
Canghai Tianjun Gu Lin chuckled lightly: "In just over a thousand years, they have resurrected within the domain and expanded their power rapidly; truly worthy of being a power that once contested the domain's ruling authority with the Horned Demon Imperial Clan."
"Perhaps, in the future, this race could produce a Dao-Forming cultivator..."
She was smiling, her expression gentle, yet her eyes were cold.
With an inquiring gaze, she looked at the youth in green robes meditating before her.
"Those who kill citizens must die."
"Anyone involved, even with only a sliver of indirect connection, must die."
Jiang Ding opened his eyes and said slowly: "If all high-level cultivators of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Imperial Court were involved, all high-level Skull Blood Vine Demons must die."
"If the entire Skull Blood Vine Demon Race was involved, the entire Skull Blood Vine Demon Race must die."
His tone was calm.
It seemed there had never been the kind and affectionate demeanor he showed before the Imperial Son Vine Flower of the Skull Blood Vine Demon Race.
A cold killing intent like mountains and seas spread outward, slightly chilly, yet causing no effect on the surrounding Profound Heaven Sect citizens, displaying control perfected to the peak.
The numerous Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun in the surrounding staff office shivered.
Truly the old-generation Canghai Tianjun of the Profound Heaven Sect, the old monster of the Profound Heaven Sect Sword Dao Science Academy.
Usually appearing consistently gentle, the Great Sun Soul Transformation strategy accepting all heavenly geniuses of the world, extremely tolerant and kind, showing no sharp edges.
But when the interests of citizens were damaged, he finally began to reveal a trace of ferocity.
Gentle.
Yes, gentle.
In the hearts of many Profound Heaven Sect Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun, Great Sun Canghai Tianjun was gentle, kind, and benevolent; whenever a junior asked for advice, he would answer patiently, offer his suggestions, care about the junior's future cultivation plans, chat and joke occasionally, showing no airs whatsoever.
This was their impression.
So much so that some began to worry he was too tolerant toward alien races, and some had even prepared words of remonstrance.
words.
Facts proved that the juniors' horizons were indeed limited.
"Hahaha..."
"Excellent!"
Canghai Tianjun Gu Lin laughed loudly, her dark green hair dancing wildly, her killing intent grim: "Jiang Ding, if you wish to accept heavenly geniuses from all races, I do not oppose it, but any race daring to challenge the citizens' right to survival must die; this is the bottom line."
"Those worthless bones, if we don't slaughter them, they'll truly think the Horned Demon Clan's blades are sharp, while the Immortal Sect's ship cannons have turned into water sprinklers."
"I think we need to tell them."
"This is a mistaken perception!"
After receiving the answer he wanted, Teacher Gu Lin Canghai Tianjun quickly got into character.
"Second Marshal,"
"Currently, our conscript army has assembled near the Domain Passage, has completed regimental training, and is awaiting our reception."
Teacher Gu Lin Canghai Tianjun said solemnly.
Immortal Sect Second Marshal.
This is the rank of Great Sun Canghai Tianjun, granted by the Immortal Sect Military Committee at the moment the Immortal Sect's Second Expeditionary Army in the Horned Demon Realm was established, to command this force which must inevitably be of immense scale.
Theoretically, the Immortal Sect Second Marshal only needs to obey orders from above and possesses the authority to make decisions on the spot.
According to the Immortal Sect's military regulations, the Immortal Sect assigned a Guards Star Regiment to the Second Marshal, which simultaneously holds the duties of protection and surveillance; this is Teacher Gu Lin Canghai Tianjun's mission.
"Can the security of the Domain Passage be guaranteed?"
Jiang Ding asked.
The Immortal Sect's conscript regiments are not qualified to set foot on the Mother Star; the system itself prevents the possibility of certain future dangers, so their assembly location differs from his.
"Currently, yes."
"The Domain Passage Great Formation, the Nine Spirits Life-Death Illusion-Extinction Two Instruments Dust Array, is still firmly under the control of the Central Array Spirit Computer's sub-branch; no accidents have occurred. Even if an accident does occur, we have a way to destroy this Domain Passage immediately, preventing the Badaxian Sect from utilizing it."
Teacher Gu Lin Canghai Tianjun said with surging killing intent.
Many Immortal Sect Canghai Tianjun have already been considering this matter.
By cutting off the return of the Great Ones, the Immortal Sect has a high probability of swallowing the Badaxian Sect, completing the unification of the Nine Spirit Realm, and actually controlling over two hundred Minor Thousand Worlds; it is not impossible for a Dao-Integration to be born, so the Horned Demon Realm is not strictly necessary.
