Chapter 723: The Unmanned Fleet in the Starry Sky

"Commander, long time no see. You're still as vigorous as ever!"

"Commander, has your granddaughter married? Why don't we see her..."

"Get lost, stop dreaming. My great-great-grandson has been around for who knows how many millennia, and you're still thinking nonsense!"

In the starry sky, within the training ground, war machines filled the air like clouds, a dense, dark mass stretching endlessly across the entire starfield. Warships stood at the center, connecting the sky-and-space war machine formation arrays everywhere, all converging into the sky-and-space mothership.

Finally, everything converged onto the starry sky steel fortress of the Soul Transformation cultivator. Formation arrays were densely packed, laws were strict and solemn, forming terrifying Soul Transformation-level military formations capable of suffocating the vast majority of Soul Transformation cultivators.

Their military formations were disciplined and their laws tight, interlocking like precise gears. Occasionally, multiple formations coupled together, unleashing even greater power, making even groups of Soul Transformation cultivators tremble with fear.

The only pity was that only ancient Soul Transformation cultivators like Yuan, Senior Wanji Canghai Tianjun, and Zhenjun Shenji Canghai Tianjun could achieve such composite Soul Transformation military formations; even Cang Hai Canghai Tianjun could not.

"Five years ago, the Yin family's great army retreated step by step under the Master Tushan Maidens' assault. Sect territories were seized, countless direct-line cultivators died tragically and were executed by the Master Tushan Maidens. The foundations of the sect and family were constantly slaughtered, teetering on the brink of collapse."

Furthermore, the shortage of Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment cultivators was being resolved.

Jiang Ding searched through the Master Tushan Maidens' Master Tushan Zhongting meeting records and quickly learned who their immediate enemies were.

"Have the internal reform contradictions within the Zhengmo Alliance disappeared? That's not bad..."

Jiang Ding said softly.

Jiang Ding was dumbfounded.

Military regulations were strict, yet this did not hinder the cheerful and lively atmosphere in the legion channels. After many years of reunion, many Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun were warmly greeting their friends, teachers, and superiors, expressing many regrets.

Among the stationed maids, Yu Bai, Bai Hua Ling, and Kong Kong Yuling had already become late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators. The cultivation of the other maids remained at most mid-stage Foundation Establishment, with very few exceeding this; clearly, they had all gone to the Northern Plains.

The scattered stars of the Northern Plains Maids spread out once more, starting from the Black Snow Great Grassland, dispersing to various places, constantly expanding eastward, constantly expanding.

Regardless of how time passed in the outside world, they gradually took control of the unmanned fleet.

The sixth Great Sun Gang Divine Art was beginning to take on substantial form, not far from a mid-grade Infant Treasure.

The number of Master Tushan Maidens: eighty-three thousand seven hundred and twenty!

The weakest were early-stage Foundation Establishment, the strongest were peak Jin Dan, with one thousand and seventy-four Jin Dan cultivators!

In the immortal sect military system,

a Type-B army had one Nascent Soul cultivator and fifty-four regiments with fifty-four Jin Dan cultivators; a Type-A army had three Nascent Soul cultivators, still fifty-four regiments, but possessed one hundred and sixty-two Jin Dan cultivators.

"Henceforth, the Tie family will no longer obstruct the reforms of many families within the Zhengmo Alliance, but they have set a bottom line: direct-line cultivators must retain fifty percent of the benefits, including spirit stones, heavenly treasures, Nascent Soul opportunities, and fifty percent of any family's interests.

The cultivation of traveling cultivators has improved by more than one tier; artificers, alchemists, and array masters have emerged endlessly, and commerce and industry have flourished immensely.

"Immortal City tax revenue,"

The awakened Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun sat cross-legged in the starry sky, on their own sky-and-space mothership, breathing in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and starlight, refining the talismans of the unmanned fleet.

Moreover, it was even more miserable; they were forced back over a hundred thousand li in a row, relying on spiritual veins and setting up great formations just to hold on.

Looking at the maids again.

Corresponding to this was the direction of the Master Tushan Maidens' expansion; many male cultivators pledged loyalty to the Blood King Army.

Now they are distributed across a territory equivalent to five Black Snow Great Grasslands, with small clusters here and large clusters there.

Liu Dao Sect, Zhenjun He Huan Sect, and Bingxuedian, three demonic sects, reconciled under pressure.

This is the reason why the number of Master Tushan Maidens skyrocketed in just twenty years.

Unmanned fleet groups were completed one by one, silent and noiseless, without even communication divine sense fluctuations, emitting a cold, silver-white metallic sheen.

Jiang Ding swept his divine sense across, understanding the full picture.

His divine sense then turned toward the Taqing Flying Sword.

To this day, the Master Tushan Maidens' group has made a famous name for itself in the Northern Plains, especially exerting a powerful attraction on female cultivators. Many collateral-line and scattered cultivators secretly sent intelligence, no longer relying on the Blood King Army's intelligence channels.

Not only female cultivators on the lands of the Yin family and the other two surnames, but also Blood Flow Cloud was expanding. After a slight comparison, most female cultivators chose to join the Master Tushan Maidens.

However, by this time, the fierce momentum of the Master Tushan Maidens' expansion had been halted. Eighty thousand maids were stationed in one place, unable to move for several years.

Time flowed leisurely, unknowingly, and twenty years passed.

Jiang Ding muttered to himself, searching through the Master Tushan Zhongting data of the maids.

"At this time, Tianchou Master Dinghai Zhenjun was sent as an envoy to Guishan Tie family, negotiated with the Tie family head, Chenggui Master Dinghai Zhenjun, for several months, and finally departed."

"There are still four years... then you will advance to mid-grade Infant Treasure."

The legions here were very special.

The Mu family of Bingxuedian and the Yin family of Liu Dao Sect, two sects, merged.

The two sects formed a million-strong army, blocking the Master Tushan Maidens. Maids like Chun Chun Jian led the army in multiple fierce attacks, yet still achieved nothing, suffering heavy casualties; otherwise, the number of Master Tushan Maidens would now be approaching one hundred thousand.

Jin Dan cultivators rarely have talents inferior to two-element roots. By this inference, almost all female Jin Dan cultivators encountered along the path of expansion were brought under their command and brought under their rule.

In another direction, the Blood King Army of Blood Flow Cloud also encountered obstacles. Part of the Liu Dao Sect army led by the Liu Dao Holy Son Yin Dao merged with the great army of the Liu family of Zhenjun He Huan Sect, blocking their expansion.

Nowadays, the number of Foundation Establishment and Jin Dan cultivators in a Type-A army remains unchanged, but the number of Nascent Soul cultivators has skyrocketed twentyfold.

After one cycle of Zhou Tian cultivation ended and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth settled, Jiang Ding opened his eyes and gazed inward at his dantian.

Moreover, they were qualified to enter hibernation, top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators who would leave their names in history!

They took over the command of the original immortal sect legions, quickly practiced and adapted to new tactics; everything was extremely proficient because they had commanded wars many times in history.

Still a little short,

The Master Tushan Maidens were pleased with this matter because with more Jin Dan and Foundation Establishment cultivators, they could not be incorporated into the ruling class. Even if their rule were acknowledged, it would not be enough; lacking channels for advancement, they would breed trouble.

Jiang Ding gazed at his own sea of consciousness.

After twenty consecutive years of cultivation, he also felt a slight weariness in his heart, and his figure vanished.

Compared to twenty years ago, the population of the Immortal City had not increased again, still around six or seven hundred thousand cultivators, but its prosperity was several times greater.

Master Tushan Xiancheng.

"Four hundred and twenty million low-grade spirit stones, eighty percent of which are commercial taxes; Master Tushan Xiancheng has become a purely commercial city."

Jiang Ding looked at the financial report.

Each Type-A Army possesses sixty Nascent Soul cultivators!

Among them, five Great Sun Heavenly Gang Divine Seals shimmered brilliantly, possessing great spiritual awareness; they could spontaneously inhale and exhale the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the Great Sun to enhance the sharpness and toughness of the sword body.

During combat, they could even cooperate with cultivators to use spells and sword techniques more conveniently, greatly boosting combat power.

"As expected."

His magic power could already accumulate to the three-quarters mark; reaching the late stage of Jin Dan would likely take another fourteen years.

For countless years, in the Starry Sky Armory that had been constantly accumulating and rarely consumed, unmanned drones and unmanned fleets emerged from the Starry Sky Fortress, formed formations, and accepted the command of the Nascent Soul Master Dinghai Zhenjun who had awakened.

With no choice, they could only remain in a stalemate.

With the assistance of these vast numbers of top-tier Nascent Soul cultivators, the might of every Soul Transformation cultivator's military formation surged, making it no problem to crush five Type-A Armies of the past.

"Any who violate this, the Tie family will personally annihilate them."

"Thus, internal contradictions within the Northern Plains families began to ease; the various great families no longer feigned compliance while secretly opposing, and the pressure on all rebel armies doubled."
