Chapter 2126: Sirius Star Domain
Several hundred years slowly flowed by.
For the Sword Immortal and the Supreme, this was a very brief span of time, yet many obvious changes had occurred, which everyone could feel.
First were the Seven Dao Armies and the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Army.
After thinking it over, most sword cultivators in the Heavenly Sword Star Domain chose to join the war, greatly bolstering the combat power of each Dao Army.
Especially the Seven Kill Dao Army and the Supreme Great Sun Sword Dao Army; the number of Eight Tribulations Supremes within these units rose from one to five, the number of Supremes increased massively, and after military formation coordination, the combat power of the units surged.
It can be said that the greatest change brought by the Heavenly Sword Star Domain cluster was the massive increase in combat power under the Sword Immortal; the remaining increases in scientific research power, talent reserves, and the expansion of the Immortal Great Industry system based on the Supreme Great Sun Primordial Ancient Talisman were merely byproducts.
After several hundred years, two more plane channel gates were completed.
This time, Jiang Ding did not appear as he did during the first plane expedition, did not interfere, but silently watched the Supreme Great Sun Dao Court Central General Staff formulate battle plans, issue mobilization orders, and gather the great army before the two teleportation channels.
Jiang Ding, who was currently deducing the constants of the Immortal Universe, divided a wisp of divine sense to look here.
Those ordered to march were the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army led by the Seven Kill Sword Supreme, under whom were two Eight Tribulations Sword Dao Supremes and numerous Sword Dao Supremes and Sword Dao experts, as well as the Heaven's Luck Break Army Dao Army led by the Burial Heaven Sword Supreme, under whom were similarly two Eight Tribulations Sword Supremes and numerous sword cultivators; the two Dao Armies each took responsibility for one star domain cluster.
The remaining Dao Armies would not march.
Immortal experts played important roles not only in combat but also in production and R&D; they were like super industrial machine tools capable of influencing the productivity of an entire star domain. Mobilizing too many Immortal experts for a full-scale war would be a complete waste; the first expedition was entirely to feel the atmosphere.
For regular plane expeditions, such measures were unnecessary.
Buzz!
As the plane channel gates of the two star domain clusters opened wide, the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army and the Heaven's Luck Break Army Dao Army stepped onto the battlefield. Without any mobilization speeches, silently and soundlessly, every sword cultivator generated a frenzied war intent, surging into the plane channels like fish scales.
The Wolf Star Domain.
The control here belonged to the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong, a sect skilled in beast taming, especially in herding wolf packs. Within the sect existed various breeds such as Star Demon Wolves, Howling Moon Sky Wolves, and Great Sun Divine Light Wolves, all top-tier bloodline inheritances cultivated by generations of ancestors. Through generations of painstaking cultivation, they fully achieved adaptation to local conditions, perfectly utilizing the environment of the Wolf Star Domain to develop an advantageous Immortal Dao inheritance, thereby steadily establishing themselves within the Wolf Star Domain.
On this day, amidst the void obscured by layers of formations, numerous Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong gathered around a reception platform, waiting silently.
This reception platform had been under construction for over a thousand years and was finally completed.
The Eight Tribulations Supreme, the Wolf Supreme, waited with a respectful expression, while a Star Demon Wolf as large as a mountain stood beside him.
Surrounding them were Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Immortal Sect, each accompanied by their own destined wolf beast; every person's expression differed—some were expectant and joyful, some wore gloomy faces, and others remained silent.
Many bore hostility; this was certain.
The Sword Immortal's reform policies were too thorough, stripping away vast political interests, even more than what the Ten Thousand Truths True Immortal had stripped. Although many Supremes claimed that if a Supreme possessed great talent and strength, the heavenly materials, Gong Fa, pills, and other rewards received would be several times greater than before, with tenfold increases being common, it still left people feeling unwilling.
These huge benefits and powers were originally obtained by them without doing anything at all.
How could this not provoke the anger of many Supremes?
However, anger aside...
"Why the long face?"
"Acting like a child? Can't you even control such a small emotion?"
The Wolf Supreme turned around and frowned.
The Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong surrounding him fell silent.
Moments later, the expressions on their faces began to change, becoming respectful and humble. Moreover, this was not merely a change in expression; within their souls, it was an emotion from the heart.
After the crowd waited for several days.
Buzz!
A twilight gate appeared in the void, shifting from illusory to solid, slowly opening.
Inside, there was no great army as imagined, only a single person: a sword cultivator with a cold gaze, an Eight Tribulations Sword Dao Supreme.
His gaze swept around, he sighed slightly, and halted his sword flight technique which was about to flee.
Nevertheless, he still controlled his sword to patrol the four directions carefully, scanning space inch by inch with his divine sense, spending several months methodically conducting reconnaissance as stipulated by various military laws.
The expressions on the faces of the Wolf Supreme and other Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong became even more respectful.
This was the vanguard of the great army.
Having humans from an Immortal Sect receive you is a good thing, but it is also a risk. If the entrance of the great army's plane channel falls on a battlefield pre-set by others, and if a killing formation is laid out, the risk to the subsequent great army would be extremely high.
After some time, this Eight Tribulations Sword Dao Supreme returned here on his sword, a hint of a ceremonial smile appearing on his face. He cupped his hands and said, "Heavenly Dao Sword Sect, Vice Commander of the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army, Heavenly Dao greets the Wolf Dao Friend!"
"Greetings to the Heavenly Dao Sword Supreme!"
The Wolf Supreme bowed and returned the greeting.
"Greetings,"
"Greetings to the Heavenly Dao Sword Supreme!"
The numerous Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong said in unison.
They were respectful and sincere, without a trace of the anger and grievance from just moments ago; not a shred of these emotions remained, not even deep within their souls, reaching the peak of propriety.
While both sides exchanged bows, the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army arrived one after another, slowly filling this starry sky.
The Seven Kill Sword Supreme and numerous other Sword Dao Supremes also arrived before the Wolf Supreme and other Supremes. Everyone exchanged bows, exchanged a few flattering words, and quickly got to the main topic.
"The star domain where the Sky Eye Immortal Clan resides..."
"The experts of the Sky Eye Immortal Clan, the Sky Eye Immortal Clan troops... vassal race Dao Armies..."
The Wolf Supreme began to introduce various intelligence about this star domain to the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army, including the strength and origins of various Divine Dao Immortal Clan experts.
There was a clear look of excitement in his tone.
Enemies entangled for so many years were about to be annihilated by the offensive of the human great army!
From this point of view, even losing vast political power was acceptable, after all, there was still ample compensation, which was beneficial to one's own Dao path.
The eyes of the Supremes of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong surrounding them were also full of desire and killing intent.
Having killed each other for so many years, every Supreme bore blood feuds, constantly yearning for revenge.
The military council of the numerous Supremes lasted for several years.
During this period, it was certainly impossible to rely solely on the oral accounts of the Taiyi Qingmu Xianzong; the reconnaissance units within the Seven Kill Immortal Dao Army also spread out to personally investigate first-hand intelligence and confirm it repeatedly.
These military disciplines are carved into the very bones of the troops.
Because the Sword Fairy loves order and loves discipline even more, her subordinates must obey the law; the pre-established military regulations cannot be violated simply because a sword cultivator wishes to do so, which is why, when they act collectively, they often display a style of building solid camps and fighting dull battles.
Many sword cultivators find this hard to adapt to, but the Supreme Ones of the Tianlang Immortal Sect are full of admiration.
Several decades later, having obtained precise intelligence, the Seven Slaughter Immortal Dao Soldiers and numerous Supreme Ones of the Tianlang Immortal Sect concealed their forms and charged toward the border army of the Tianmu Immortal Clan's star domain.
