Chapter 1406: Ancient God Dao's Hidden Scripture Pavilion

The Xianmen First Front Army's Central Army Group passed through the realm passage connecting the Tian Yuan Domain to the Ancient God Domain.

Time was turning, the heavens and earth were changing.

Space underwent unimaginably vast changes in an instant, changes born of the great power of heaven and earth, beyond even a Dao Merging Divine Lord to compare with even a fraction of, carrying living beings across immense distances to appear in a completely unfamiliar realm.

"Ancient God Domain…"

Within the super warship Great Sun, a steel city, Jiang Ding stood at the center of the densely packed First Front Army Central Army Group formation patterns, raising his head to look at this unfamiliar starry sky.

This was a dim and dark heaven and earth.

From time to time, one could still hear a thread of chaotic murmuring, piercing through everything, appearing in the hearts of all cultivators, whether Dao Merging cultivators or Qi Refining cultivators alike.

This was the origin of this star domain's name, "Ancient God."

This murmuring contained unimaginable great power; the Ancient God Dao built its sects around it as a core, possessing deep heritage in summoning-type spells and in nurturing war beasts and Dao soldiers, producing many brilliant immortal Dao achievements, and had even once produced war beast soldiers above Dao Merging that were firmly controlled.

Here, already, was the core region of the Ancient God Domain.

Numerous realms possessing Middle Thousand Worlds, numerous Xianzong factions, the Myriad Races Alliance, the Yao Shen Sect, and many scattered Dao Merging forces were jumbled together here, sometimes opposing, sometimes allying, having contended for hundreds of thousands of years already.

"The nearest forces here are the Youming Sword Grotto Heaven and the Weaving Heaven Spider clan of the Myriad Races Alliance; the two major forces occupy four-domain territory and five-domain territory respectively. Further out in the realms are forces such as the Qinggu Xianzong and the Nether Dark Sky Crane clan."

"We received warnings in advance not to deviate from the route designated for us by the Jiudaxian Sect and the Myriad Races Alliance, or it will be tantamount to a declaration of war."

Yuan Zai spoke within the Central Army Group conference.

"For now, our destination is the Void Spirit Abyss. We may not stop at any Minor Thousand Worlds or Middle Thousand Worlds along the way; it is estimated to take thirty-seven years to reach the destination."

"During this period, nine-tenths of our Foundation Establishment soldiers will enter hibernation, taking turns in hibernation, to be awakened instantly in wartime."

"During the march, all cultivators above Nascent Soul must remain on standby, with no closed-door cultivation of any kind. Detection formations must be maintained at peak condition at all times. If you encounter an area whose safety cannot be confirmed, then detour around it, no matter how far the detour, and if necessary, the objective of this trip may be abandoned."

This was one of the important reasons why Dao soldiers could not become rulers in the Cultivation World—too many weaknesses.

The Xianmen citizen fleet had already circumvented the vast majority of ordinary Dao soldiers' shortcomings, but many problems remained unsolved, such as the soldiers' lifespans, unable to be on standby around the clock, otherwise the march alone would consume all their lifespans, and the Foundation Establishment soldiers would all be gone before reaching the battlefield.

"If war breaks out, our first objective is to seize the realm passage behind us connecting the Ancient God Domain to our rear, to obtain a continuous stream of logistics and troop reinforcements."

"If this strategy fails and our logistics are cut off, we will immediately attack a force possessing a Middle Thousand World and rebuild our rear. When the time comes, I and all of you may have no choice but to undertake the compulsory duty of reproducing citizens. Quick results will become a necessity; we must restore a population of one trillion citizens within several hundred years…"

Yuan Zai spoke at length in the military conference.

He explained the Central Army Group's strategy and various combat plans in detail. From time to time, generals raised doubts, and he could explain in detail; if there were errors, the combat plans were immediately revised.

Within this kind of conference, the Xianmen's Central Army Group fleet flew toward the Void Spirit Abyss.

Around this massive fleet, eight Dao Merging Divine Lords with terrifying auras each rode Xianshan palace mechanism-city magic treasures in orbit, their auras faintly linking into one with the steel fleet.

Although they were only eight people, mere dust motes in the cosmic starry sky, in terms of momentum they were in no way inferior to several billion steel warships.

The pinnacle of individual combat power and the pinnacle of army combat power merged together perfectly at this moment.

The moment this terrifying army group traversed the realm starry sky of the Ancient God Domain for the first time, it immediately drew numerous wary gazes; countless cultivators fled at the mere rumor, not daring to approach even slightly.

Countless sects and factions in Minor Thousand Worlds, even forces in Middle Thousand Worlds, trembled in fear beneath this terrifying army group, immediately shutting their doors to defend themselves, recalling all disciples, sealing their mountains for a century, lest some blind disciple offend the other party and bring the sect a catastrophe of annihilation.

At the same time, these sects and clans frantically sought aid and issued warnings to the Xianzong they belonged to.

These urgent warnings quickly received responses, telling them to set their minds at ease for the moment.

……

Void Spirit Abyss.

When the nine great Xianzong of the Jiuling Domain appeared together, the numerous forces of the Ancient God Domain were shaken.

"The estimates were off."

"Although the nine great Xianzong of the Jiuling Domain are barren and their cultivators are weak, precisely because of this they are more united, with less internal friction, and have gone very deep into the Dao of gathering-strength formation patterns."

The Heavenly Palace Sect's Heavenly Spirit Divine Lord looked at the message sent up by his sect's cultivators, at the massive fleet soaring through the cosmic starry sky, and at the eight terrifying existences around the fleet, his heart filled with wariness.

This kind of strength united together was already sufficient to annihilate a single Yijiaxian Sect.

"Human Xianzong…"

The Weaving Heaven Spider clan's ancestor's gaze flickered.

The human race's strength was truly terrifying, and moreover bloody and cruel. Although they called themselves the Myriad Races Alliance, surrounded by human forces on all sides, they were truly uneasy in their hearts to the extreme.

Fortunately, the human race was plagued by internal strife,

their hatred for one another even exceeding that for other races.

If not for this, the Myriad Races Alliance would have long been annihilated.

However, how could the survival of the Weaving Heaven Spider clan be entrusted to such a fluke?

The Weaving Heaven Spider Divine Lord hardened his heart, having already made his decision.

"Another Jiudaxian Sect…"

Killing intent rose at once in the heart of the Yao Shen Sect's Three-Faced Divine Lord.

The three major forces each had different thoughts, however, not a single one of them spoke to stop the arrival of the nine great Xianzong of the Jiuling Domain; silently they entered meditation on the spot, allowing the surrounding Void Spirit Abyss to strip away wisp after wisp of their magic power and divine sense, remaining utterly still.

Several decades of time, for Dao Merging Divine Lords, was but a snap of the fingers.

When the Weaving Heaven Spider Divine Lord and the others opened their eyes, several hundred thousand kilometers away, the massive fleet of the nine great Xianzong of the Jiuling Domain, along with those eight cultivators whose auras and pressure were intimidating, had already appeared.

They did not exchange pleasantries, but instead sent over ten Dao Children.

"Good,"

"Fellow Daoists Nine are indeed men of few words."

The Weaving Heaven Spider Divine Lord laughed heartily.

Immediately, the several dozen Dao Merging Divine Lords present said no more, going all-out, jointly forming a massive terrifying grand formation. The Heavenly Dao rule law-nets of the several dozen Dao Merging Divine Lords wove together in an orderly manner, and the terrifying pressure they emitted enveloped the entire Void Spirit Abyss; even the omnipresent spirit-dispersing power of the Void Spirit Abyss was forcibly driven away.

Under the grand formation prepared for a thousand years, the several dozen Dao Merging Divine Lords jointly struck out with one blow.

Boom!

Deep within the Void Spirit Abyss, rules collapsed and dissolved, space shattered into powder, and there appeared a hazy palace world, no longer transcendent, forcibly struck out; the omnipresent formation around it was blasted open into a fist-sized gap, no longer perfect and flawless.

"Disciples, go!"

The Weaver Sky Spider Divine Lord uttered a low command.

He spat out a glistening, translucent silk thread, wrapping his own son, the Weaver Sky Prince, along with a jet-black, crystal-clear Weaver Sky Spider, and hurled them into the Cangtian Pavilion's formation. Around them, other powerful clans of the Ten Thousand Races Alliance followed suit, sending forth their own noble Sacred Princes and Heavenly Princes—renowned across the outer realms and destined to attain the Dao Comprehension realm—into the formation.

The top disciples of the Nine Immortal Sects of the Ancient Divine Realm and the Nine Spirit Realm, along with many Dao Heirs of the Beast Divine Sect, also plunged into it.

The very pinnacle geniuses of the Ancient Divine Realm were all here.
