The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded as he stared at Qin Wentian. “The battlefield won’t be like this peaceful city. Conflict can erupt at any time and those who are careless would find themselves dead. Wentian, if you join the war, you will be treated the same as others, you have to answer whenever you are summoned. Currently, your strength is still weak and have no achievements or any merit yet. I cannot be biased and allow you to command a regiment. Do you understand?”
“Wentian is willing to start from the very bottom.” Qin Wentian solemnly replied. Since he decided, he naturally would have no objections. He would comply with all army protocols and laws.
“Excellent. Head to the border between the boundaries of the Thunder and Jing Prefectures. Yuan City is where we station our forces at. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect keeps wanting to take the city over and is unceasingly depleting the numbers of our army, preparing to wage a war of attrition with us. If the city falls, they would be able to smoothly take over the Thunder Prefecture. The commander of the opposing force is none other than the Dream Demon King. Right now, the situation is more disadvantageous for us. You best be careful once you arrive there.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke. Qin Wentian nodded in agreement, “Wentian understands.”
“Mhm, prepare well. Move out after a month then.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke.
“Okay.” Qin Wentian bid his farewell and brought Luo Huan and Qin Yao together with him as they departed the Emperor Lord Palace.
“Wentian, are you really preparing to enter the battlefield?” Qin Yao pulled on his arm and spoke. Although she hadn’t witnessed an immortal war before, she knew how powerful immortal-foundation experts are. These powers experts were grouped together in battle teams to fight a war. How terrifying would that be?
“Mhm, the Dream Demon King is in the war as well. He would definitely bring his disciples along with him. I naturally must go.” Qin Wentian’s expression was ice cold. “Sister Qin Yao, senior sis Luo Huan, the people who acted against the two of you were none other than the disciples of this Dream Demon King.”
“You have to be more careful on the battlefield, don’t play around needlessly okay?” Luo Huan rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian.
“Understood, senior sister.” Qin Wentian honestly replied.
“Hehe, it’s good that you understand. You should spend more days accompanying Qingcheng. We will spare you temporarily then.” Luo Huan smiled. The two of them separated from Qin Wentian. Only Little Rascal was still following behind Qin Wentian.
“We are going to be separated once again.” Qin Wentian sighed. In these seven years, he spent almost every waking moment together with Qingcheng, touring the particle worlds in leisure. However in the immortal realms, separation was something that happens often. In fact there were many couples who were separated by life and death because they were simply too weak to face the trials of the immortal realms. Hence, many people who had access to cultivation resources would all wait until they reach the immortal king realm before they find a dao companion and sire children.
Qin Wentian returned to his residence and told Qingcheng about this matter. Qingcheng who had already regained consciousness naturally wouldn’t obstruct Qin Wentian. She smiled, “Just go, I will work hard in cultivation. After experiencing the baptism by Sacred Luminance, I feel that my physique is much much stronger than before. I would be the same as you and ascend to immortality sooner or later.”
Qin Wentian cupped his hands on Mo Qingcheng’s face as he smiled in a teasing manner, “Okay you have to work hard then, I won’t wait for you.”
“Who needs you to wait? Who knows, maybe I will surpass you.” Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly.
“Is that so? I will be waiting then.” Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with a brilliant light as he stared at the beautiful face of Mo Qingcheng. Mo Qingcheng blushed, as she asked in a low voice, “What are you doing?”
“I’m thinking that my wife now is already so flawlessly beautiful. When you ascend to immortality and shed your mortal coil, how much more beautiful would you be? Wouldn’t you mesmerize all the men in this world to their death?” Qin Wentian spoke, his words causing Mo Qingcheng to giggle. “Then, why are you not properly cherishing this young miss right now?”
“Right, I’m going to cherish her properly right now.” Qin Wentian suddenly stretched his hand out and carried Mo Qingcheng in a flash, before walking into their room.
Mo Qingcheng cried out in shock and struggled a little. However, how could her strength match up to Qin Wentian? She could only clasp her arms around his neck, staring at him with emotions in her beautiful eyes. That flawless soul-stirring countenance of hers caused Qin Wentian’s heart to tremble.
“Qingcheng, you are so beautiful.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Mo Qingcheng’s face turn even redder, her head was buried in Qin Wentian’s chest as she tightly hugged him.
In the depths of their emotions, both were unable to extricate themselves.
…
A month later, Qin Wentian, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, Purgatory and Little Rascal brought the letter of enlistment and arrived at Yuan City.
Yuan City was located at the boundaries of the Thunder Prefecture and outside of it was a stretch of desolation. There was also a river that was a hundred thousand metres long, separating the Thunder and Jing Prefectures. In the thirteen prefectures, the river between the Thunder Prefecture and the Jing Prefecture was the dividing line between the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s territory and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
Hence now that a war was about to start, this stretch of boundary became the battlefield. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would send out probing attacks using their armies and this lasted for several years, leading to the fact that this stretch of desolation became the burial place of many immortals.
Many mortals who were below immortal-foundation, who used to live in Yuan City, had all relocated away for fear of dying from the aftershocks. However, some immortal experts chose to remain behind, wanting to witness this grand immortal war play out.
The commander of the city was none other than Commander Ox. Everyone referred to this man as General Ox and he was an extremely powerful immortal king. As for his real name, there was no one here who knew it.
In the General Manor, Qin Wentian stared at General Ox. General Ox was three meters in height and extremely muscular, radiating a sense of explosive might. Even though he was clad in long robes, the outline of his bulging muscles could be seen. In addition, Qin Wentian could also sense the familiar aura from the Heavenly Talisman Realm from him.
This General Ox was also a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm and there was no need to doubt his strength. The Dream Demon King was a famous war general under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. General Ox was defending this place against the Dream Demon King and there was a very high possibility that there would be clashes. If he wasn’t strong enough, the Dream Demon King could sneak attack him silently, killing him off. Once the commander of the opposing force dies, is there still even a need to do battle?
“General.” Qin Wentian passed the jade slip which the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had given him to General Ox. He didn’t refer to him as senior apprentice brother. This place was the battlefield, General Ox was the commander.
General Ox glanced at the jade slip before turning over and casting a deep glance at Qin Wentian. He then nodded his head and spoke to one of his men, “Attention.”
As the sound of his voice faded, a person walked over. General Ox then stated, “Settle the war arrangement for them, assign them under any random captain.”
“Understood.” That person replied. He stared at Qin Wentian and the others, “Come with me.”
“Okay.” Qin Wentian nodded and followed the person to the barracks. Although the barracks were the living quarters of the army, this place still wasn’t that bad. Rows of majestic buildings extended throughout the distance, it was so vast that he couldn’t see the end of it with a single glance.
“Ye Qing.” That person brought Qin Wentian and his comrades to a courtyard and shouted. Very swiftly, an immortal-foundation expert clad in fiery armor walked over. Her figure was full and exuded sexiness, and her features exquisite. Although she couldn’t be considered a supreme beauty, she was still very pretty. The armor further accentuated her curves and gave her a feeling of imposingness.
“I pay my respect to General Lan.” Ye Qing bowed.
“Captain Ye. These few fellows will be handed to you.” General Lan spoke, pointing to Qin Wentian and his comrades. After that, Ye Qing glanced over and nodded, “Understood.”
“You guys can follow Captain Ye from now on.” General Lan spoke. Qin Wentian and the others nodded. Ye Qing brought them into the courtyard, there were a few empty houses there and quite a few people could be seen in the courtyard. At this moment, some of them walked out, “Captain, are there newcomers again?”
“Wow they’re actually pretty babes.” The eyes of one man gleamed as he stared at Zi Qingxuan and Purgatory. Ye Qing was already a beauty, but Zi Qingxuan and Purgatory both surpassed her in looks.
“Control yourself.” Ye Qing glared at that person. The other party instantly replied, “Yes, Captain!”
“What are your names?” Ye Qing asked.
“Captain, my name is Tianwen.” Qin Wentian spoke, deciding to use another name on the battlefield. After all, his status in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was pretty high. If any of these experts were core members of the sect, they would surely know his name. Firstly, he didn’t want to have any special treatment, and secondly, he also didn’t want the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect to take ‘special’ care of him. If not, he would have a very miserable time on the battlefield.
“My name is Jun Mengchen.”
“My name is Zi Qingxuan.”
“Purgatory.”
“My name is Little Rascal.” Little Rascal’s juvenile voice rang out, causing Ye Qing to smile. This little fellow was so adorable. However she quickly rearranged her features and stated, “Tianwen, the cultivation bases of you guys are still very low. Don’t be a burden on the battlefield for your comrades. Now, I will let the others interact with you, so you can be familiar with the troop formation of our team.”
“Yes, captain.” Qin Wentian nodded. There was someone leaning against the wall, that person commented in a lazy tone of voice, “Captain, the cultivation bases of these people are slightly low. They wouldn’t be effective even if they joined our troop formation. Let’s not waste everyone’s time.”
“Hao Yang. Since they joined our team, they must get familiar with our team formation. We might lose our lives at any time on the battlefield. If they don’t understand our battle formation, it would be even more dangerous.” Ye Qing coldly spoke, impolitely refuting Hao Yang.
“Yes Captain.” Hao Yang nodded but his gaze showed that he didn’t really mind at all.
“You guys find a place to bunk in first. After that, gather at the drill ground.” Ye Qing commanded.
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian and the others nodded. They then proceeded to a house in the distance. Jun Mengchen smiled. “The captain is a hero among women. Although she isn’t as beautiful as senior sister Qingxuan, she can be considered very pretty as well.”
“Speak softer.” Qin Wentian glared at Jun Mengchen.
“Hehe, sadly everyone feels our cultivation bases are too low.” Jun Mengchen muttered.
“This is an immortal-ranked war, the weakest participating members are characters at the immortal-foundation level. Just based on cultivation alone, we are indeed the weakest. We can only do our best to perform well in the battlefield.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Understood.” Jun Mengchen was filled with anticipation.
At the drill grounds, many experts gathered. There were hundreds of people with differing cultivation bases. In fact there was even someone who grumbled, “Ai, Captain…our overall team strength is one of the weaker ones. Why doesn’t General Lan send some powerful people to join us instead? Look at the cultivation bases of these newbies, they won’t be able to strengthen us.”
“Shut up. If you are that free to grumble, go think of more methods of surviving in the battlefield.” Ye Qing berated.
“Understood. However, I’m afraid that these few fellows wouldn’t even be able to survive a single battle. There are even two beauties among them, what a pity.”
Those people who were the team members all commented. They were naturally happy there were beautiful girls joining but sadly, these newbies simply are too weak. This made them somewhat depressed, they would rather have some powerful people joining them instead so as to boost their overall team strength, increasing their chances of survival. Afterall, the weaker a team is, the more likely they would die on the battlefield!
