Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Even though doing things like this did damage the inner and outer regions of the Blue Sea Empire to some extent and they ended up losing quite a few of their smaller and less protected cities, it was ultimately far better than them potentially losing a Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor. Especially considering that the core region of the Blue Sea Empire remained completely untouched. Not harming the core resources of the Blue Sea Empire. Only damaging some of the less important areas that they didnʼt care too much about-

Ptsh-!

And it was in this kind of chaotic situation that the General of the East Sea Army and his army was used as the main force for taking out these isolated illusory beasts that strayed too far away from the rest of the illusory beasts to merge together with them.

”Another one down, this makes a total of sixty-four for our East Sea Army…” Standing at the front of his flying ship as he muttered this to himself while gazing at the illusory beast crashed into the ground a few hundred meters away from where his ship was hovering, the general in question let out an exhausted sigh as he turned to look over his soldiers.

Given that his army had been used as the main force for an extended period of time without a single chance to rest, the East Sea Army had weakened quite a bit during the last year, as a fair share of powerful soldiers had ended up dying during the countless battles with illusory beasts, two of the Earth Immortals of the East Sea Army had even ended up dying.

”General… Itʼs clear that those people donʼt want our East Sea Army to continue existing. Even if there was a fear of the illusory beasts merging together to resist the Celestial Immortal Realm ancestor in the past, over half of the illusory beasts have already been killed by us…” Just at this moment, one of the Earth Immortals from the East Sea Army walked up as he said this in a solemn tone.

”General, donʼt you think itʼs time to-”

”Haaa… I understand what you mean, we donʼt have the support of an ancestor, so it will be hard for us to do anything about the current situation without the backing of someone in the Celestial Immortal Realm. Maybe itʼs really time to do as they wish and disband…” ”””…”””

Following the generalʼs words, a depressed atmosphere engulfed the deck of the flying ship as all of the soldiers looked towards their two superiors with conflicted expressions. All of them, understanding the implications of the conversation between the two.

”General…” ”No need, what you say is right, we canʼt continue like this, I will sort out a few things and come up with a final decision on the matter soon. For now, move the ship to the towards the closest city and inform the ancestor about our recent successful kill.”

Whoosh~

Not bothering to stay on the bridge of the ship for even a single second longer after he finished saying this, the general disappeared back inside the ship before his subordinate had a chance to say anything. Leaving the fellow in stunned state as he could only shake his head before taking out a special communication talisman to carry out the order he had received. Understanding that this might be the last time he would see his general in action.

…

Following after the old man as he continued making his way deeper inside the Blue Sea Empire, Xuan Hao could not help growing a bit worried as he wondered if the last seal might be located somewhere in the inner region of the Blue Sea Empire.

Luckily, after two days of travelling without stopping, the old man finally slowed down and descended towards a small city located along the massive river that connected the Blue Sea Empire to the Sky Empire and the endless ocean.

Is the last seal perhaps located inside the river…?

Not able to stop this thought from appearing as he watched the old man, Xuan Hao could not help remembering the massive demon beast that he had encountered during his first trip to the Blue Sea Empire.

Although he had managed to reach the Late Stage of the Dao Domain Lord Realm and could now understand that the serpent from back then should have been a demon beast comparable to an Earth Immortal with a nine layered dao lotus, he didnʼt feel any less worried about what kind of terrifying demon beasts might be hiding inside the lake.

Whoosh~
