Chapter 2304
As soon as Chen Xuan finished speaking, the gray-robed elder looked troubled.
According to the old system of the Holy Land, the takeover of the army must follow the established procedures. Chen Xuan's direct takeover and independent actions are clearly not in accordance with the rules.
It must be understood that this is an army of millions of cultivators, including 108,000 Celestial Immortals. If anything goes wrong, at best it could delay the border war, and at worst it could trigger a mutiny that would backfire on the Heartless Realm.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan smiled faintly, took out a token containing Jue Wuqing's decree, and threw it to the gray-robed elder.
The gray-robed elder took the jade talisman, scanned it with his divine sense, and his pupils suddenly dilated – on the jade talisman were only three powerful pictographs: Let him go.
"Your subordinate obeys the Holy Lord's decree!" The gray-robed elder dared not hesitate any longer and immediately bowed to Chen Xuan again. Then, he raised his hand and made a hand seal to transmit the message to the supervising elders of the other ten stars.
Brush brush!
In a short while, the supervising immortal elders of the other ten stars arrived one after another and gathered outside the immortal mansion.
Upon learning of the Holy Lord's ruthless decree, the dozen or so True Immortal Elders remained calm and offered no objections. They immediately transformed into streaks of light and sped towards the inner world of the Ruthless Holy Land.
They knew perfectly well that in the eyes of the Holy Lord, let alone just manipulating an army of a million cultivators, even if Chen Xuan completely destroyed that army, the Holy Lord wouldn't say a word. At worst, he could just gather another batch from his territory to replace them.
After all, in the eyes of the Holy Lord, the tens of millions of anti-void realm troops are not as important as a single hair on Chen Xuan's head—this is a heaven-defying figure who can withstand the quasi-emperor's phantom and undergo two tribulations together, and his future achievements are limitless, making him worthy of the Holy Lord's full resources to cultivate.
After all the supervising elders left, Chen Xuan stretched his neck, and his bones cracked and popped.
He looked up at the stars that commanded the heavens, and saw that the immortal energy above the stars was soaring into the sky, and the auras of 108,000 celestial beings were intertwined, like a rolling celestial cloud, with a magnificent momentum.
"In large-scale military operations, discipline is of paramount importance. Even ordinary people in my previous life understood this principle, but these celestial ancestors seem to be getting more and more backward as they get older." Chen Xuan's lips curled into a cold smile.
wow——
Chen Xuan took a step forward, and his figure instantly passed through the Pure Yang Formation that governed the outer perimeter of the stars—a formation that was strong enough to withstand the frenzied bombardment of True Immortals, but it was nothing in front of him.
The next moment, he had already descended a thousand miles above the celestial army's encampment on the surface of the star.
His divine sense spread out like a tsunami, covering the entire encampment.
Chen Xuan's eyes darkened, and he let out a low shout, his voice carrying the supreme sword intent and the pressure of a celestial being, resounding throughout the heavens and earth like a great bell:
"The main force of the Celestial Immortals of the Heartless Realm, assemble above the stars within three breaths!"
The sound was powerful and resounding, spreading far and wide.
"Those who exceed the time limit will be burned by karmic fire for three days!"
"Anyone who survives even a breath will be killed without mercy!"
The powerful divine sense transmitted its message, sweeping indiscriminately across the entire surface of the star.
Since they are an army, their encampments are not scattered and built by individuals, but rather divided into areas according to the military formation and arranged neatly.
As expected, when Chen Xuan sent his divine sense message, a large number of Celestial Immortal cultivators responded instantly, their figures transforming into streaks of light as they rapidly gathered in the sky above the stars, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Most of those who responded positively came from nebulae that were relatively close to the Holy Land of Heartbreak, or from sect cultivators who were near quasi-holy cities or holy cities.
They were well-informed, or through various means, they learned about the past assemblies of the great armies from the Holy City-level forces—those commanders were all ruthless and their military discipline was far stricter than imagined.
Therefore, they were well aware of the consequences of procrastination and dared not slack off in the slightest.
The first to arrive in the void and line up neatly to await instructions were this group of celestial beings closely associated with the Holy City and the Quasi-Holy City.
Those who dawdle and don't care at all are all overlords of sects who dominate a nebula or star field.
Their region is resource-poor and far from the core of the domain. The quasi-holy city only manages it symbolically and does not impose strict restrictions on it.
Over time, they developed an arrogant attitude and completely disregarded the so-called military discipline of the Holy Land.
Chen Xuan's handsome young face looked like that of a child standing in front of a group of white-haired, solemn celestial ancestors.
Yet this "child" issued such an overbearing telepathic command, instantly arousing the rebellious mentality of those celestial beings who were already harboring resentment.
"Where did this snot-nosed brat come from, daring to point fingers at us celestial beings? And daring to threaten us with military discipline?" A middle-aged celestial being in purple robes sneered, his voice full of disdain.
"Exactly! That's too domineering! Even if you're a disciple of the Holy Land, you can't oppress us like this! We rushed to the front lines to resist the invasion of the strange race and protect the peace of the realm, not to be scolded by a brat like you!" Another white-haired old man chimed in, his tone unfriendly.
……
These dozen or so Celestial Immortals who lagged behind were mostly middle-aged men and women, with a few elderly people mixed in. They were all leaders of their respective sects, and they were used to being pampered and had never been reprimanded like this before.
Their complaints echoed clearly throughout the entire Void Gathering Grounds.
However, upon hearing these complaints, the celestial beings of the Holy City and Quasi-Holy City systems, who were already lined up in neat rows waiting for instructions, all revealed sneers and disdain.
"Look closely, everyone. This is one of the reasons why a small nebula-level sect cannot break through the shackles of its foundation," a Celestial Immortal from the Holy City chuckled softly.
"They can't even fathom the thoughts of the true overlords of the realm. How dare a mere Nebula-level sect with a dozen or so Celestial Immortals point fingers at the commander of the army appointed by the Holy Land? They are truly ignorant of their own limitations."
At this moment, in the void, more than 100,000 celestial beings had gathered into a neat square formation within three breaths. Only the dozen or so people at the very back were still dawdling and deliberately delaying until the three-breath time limit was exceeded before reluctantly flying into the back of the square formation.
This scene was clearly intentional—they wanted to give this newly arrived white-haired youth a warning, to let him know that these celestial ancestors were not pushovers to be easily manipulated!
