Chapter 1677: Dark Heaven River
“Yun Bing, granddaughter of the second among the thirty-six Heaven Kings, Heaven King Yun. Extremely talented, and third among the top ten young mistresses in the Heaven Domain. She has battle merits aplenty. Three months ago, she joined the Flying Feather Army and worked her way up from being an ordinary soldier. In three months, she was made a General. It’s been predicted that she would be the future Young Clan Head and the successor of Heaven King Yun…”
Inside the castle, Jiang Yi listened to his subordinate’s report as he frowned deeply. Half a day had already passed since he arrived at the Flying Feather Army. Things have more or less stabilized by now. He was now a Senior Captain of one of the teams under the ninth command. Their team now had just over ninety of them.
The information that Jiang Yi was getting about General Yun now was discovered by one of his scouts. It was too easy for them to find this information because it was widely-known information in the Flying Feather Army. There was no doubt or suspicion about it.
“It doesn’t look like this lass is a pushover. She seems to be a real devil.”
Jiang Yi knocked against the table next to him rhythmically. He was beginning to understand more about the Flying Feather Army. The requirements for promotion in this army were far stricter than that of other armies. It was easy for one to become a Senior Captain but very difficult to rise up to become a Commander, Senior Commander, or General. Without enough battle merits, he would never make it.
According to the information he received, this General Yun Bing not only had formidable combat abilities, but she was also extremely intelligent. Before this, every battle that she led ended in her favor. What’s more, her team’s death rate was always the lowest. In the nearly ten-thousand-strong Flying Feather Army, this General Yun Bing was almost like a goddess.
“Alright, be dismissed. I want to cultivate. Let me know if there are any missions.”
Jiang Yi pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, and burrowed into one of the side halls. That was his own room. Only Senior Captains had the right to stay in there. The other people stayed in a larger hall, a common room.
Once he entered the side hall, Jiang Yi immediately felt much more comfortable. The side hall’s heaven and earth spirit energy was about fifty times richer than outside. This side hall had a spirit concentration array. It was one of the privileges of being the Senior Captain.
He had already come to the Flying Feather Army. There was no point in thinking so much. What did this Young Mistress Yun Bing want anyway? Jiang Yi could not figure it out, but half a day had already passed. If Dao Nu and Dao Leng were coming, they would have arrived by now. At the very least, Yun Bing did not reveal Jiang Yi’s identity.
He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate. He wanted to continue cultivating his heavenly powers. Although training here was not as advantageous as training in the Dao Heaven Mystic Realm, it was about the same as training in the Primitive Mystic Realm. The Heaven Domain’s heaven and earth spirit energy was too rich. What’s more, the energy in the side hall was about fifty times richer thanks to the spirit concentration array.
He had already congealed so much of his Power of Heaven and Earth. Even if the mummy consumed the power nonstop, it would still last him for at least a month. It was a pity, however, that he was less than halfway through realizing the Quintessence. It seemed like there was still a long way to go before he would complete it.
Cultivating the Mighty God Technique was taking even longer. Until now, he could only make his body about a hundred and fifty times stronger. He was still a long way from a thousand times, much less ten thousand times.
Buzz!
As Jiang Yi pondered, he summoned the mummy out. This mummy’s remnant soul said before that he was not cultivating the right Mighty God Technique now. If he wanted to cultivate the real Mighty God Technique, he had to feel the mummy’s acupoints.
He thought for a long time about how to refine this mummy, but he could not figure it out. At last, he had to refine its 108 acupoints before refining it. These acupoints must have contained some sort of secret. Jiang Yi had to realize what this secret was before he would be able to strengthen his body by a thousand or ten thousand times.
He entered the State of the Union of Heaven and Man and silently meditated on one of the mummy’s acupoints. He studied it closely for a while, and his heart suddenly jumped.
All of his attention was focused on one of the acupoints on the mummy’s palm. Yet, he felt like it was completely different from his own. If his acupoint was a drop of water, the mummy’s felt like an endless sea. It contained all sorts of mysterious patterns and lines, and it resembled almost like a Great Divine Dao Pattern, containing the laws of heaven and earth and all sorts of mysteries.
“This acupoint is too mysterious.”
The longer Jiang Yi studied the acupoint, the more shocked he felt. He was completely focused on his study. The intersecting patterns seemed to contain a mysterious power that pulled him deeper and deeper subconsciously. It was hard to pull his attention away.
…
Time passed very quickly. Jiang Yi did not even know how much time had passed before he was suddenly jolted back to reality by the restrictions around the side hall. He opened his eyes, still feeling groggy. There was a look of greed on his face.
Although he still had not figured out what all the divine patterns were for, he had a feeling that as long as he could figure it out, his own acupoints would mirror the patterns. His body would then have terrifying strength and power. When that time came, he would not even have to fear being killed by Dao Leng.
Buzz!
The restrictions were still flashing nonstop. Jiang Yi gathered his thoughts and opened the restrictions. He realized that one of the God Thearchs under his charge was standing at the door. He was Zhang Danian’s younger brother, Zhang Ernian. He was sharper and worked better as a scout. Jiang Yi made him his personal guard.
Zhang Ernian cupped his fists and reported, “Lord, it is time to go out on a mission. General Yun told us to gather. All the Flying Feather Army soldiers are going out.”
“Ask the brothers to gather.”
Jiang Yi waved his hand and walked out of the side hall. Zhang Danian had already brought his men to gather outside, and they were all waiting for Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi led the group out of the castle and realized that a significant number of people had already gathered on the plains in front of him. All of them were dressed in Flying Feather Army’s battle armor.
Buzz!
Jiang Yi had the same Flying Feather Army battle armor. It was a supreme-grade battle armor. The black armor appeared around his body as he sprinted towards the plains together with his men. Under Commander Hu’s instructions, they joined the crowd and silently stood in their positions.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Groups of soldiers emerged from countless castles, running towards them in waves. In five minutes, close to ten thousand people were already gathered. General Yun Bing led her thirty-six personal guards out and scanned her army, both in a magnificent manner. In a low voice, she shouted, “Everyone, listen up! Go to the tenth Teleportation Formation.”
The ten commanders each led their own armies towards the Teleportation Formation in an orderly manner. The Flying Feather Army was made up of ten thousand people, but it was obvious there were still people missing. There were only nine thousand of them now. Under the General were two Senior Commanders. Each of them had five commands under their charge. Each command contained a thousand people and was led by a single person. The commands were further split into ten groups, each containing a hundred people led by a senior captain.
As Jiang Yi marched, he surveyed his surroundings and realized that no other armies were being activated. It looked like this mission was going to be a small-scale one. It would not involve a huge amount of resources, or else they would not have activated only ten thousand people.
The army arrived at a city plaza north of their castles. There were many Teleportation Formations there. They began to teleport, a thousand at a time. They took turns to enter the Teleportation Formation, and a whole hour passed before it was finally Jiang Yi’s turn.
Buzz!
There was a white flash of light, and they teleported for fourteen to sixteen hours. Jiang Yi realized that they were not at Nine Yang Valley but at an interchange in the void.
This interchange was right in the middle of the void and set on a huge rock floating in midair. There were powerful restrictions around the rock, and the surroundings were pitch-black. Jiang Yi could not even see his own five fingers when he stretched out his hand. It was so dark that he could not help but feel fear in his gut.
Yun Bing and the others had arrived a long time ago. Once the last of their army had arrived, she gave instructions in a cold tone. “Everyone, board the Chaos Divine Boat. Our destination this time is the Dark Heaven River. Millions of Netherworld Race beings have been spotted in there. When the respective teams reach the Dark Heaven River, strategize and move out on your own. Remember to collect the corpses of these Netherworld Race beings, or you would not receive the battle merits for them.
“If you meet powerful Netherworld Race beings that threaten to overpower you, retreat immediately. Beware of the Netherworld Aura in the Dark Heaven River. If you get demonized, you will be killed at once.”
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
One by one the commanders retrieved their Chaos Divine Boats and led their own subordinates onboard. The restrictions around the interchange opened as ten Chaos Divine Boats headed towards the same direction.
