Chapter 2326: Chapter 2326 Holy Land’s Situation
The foreign races, who had previously slaughtered human martial cultivators, were now completely demoralized. Ever since they had landed, they had been on the run, fleeing in all directions.
Some of the foreign races attempted to escape on their battleships. But they were obliterated bu the fleet Ye Liyun left in cosmos as soon as they showed their faces.
In the end, the entire foreign race army that had arrived was completely annihilated within a month.
The martial cultivators on the Outpost Island and Moyana Island had never experienced such a triumphant victory against the foreign races before. They were all cheering and celebrating with uncontainable joy.
Ye Liuyun’s monumental victory instilled a growing confidence in both worlds about their ability to resist the foreign race’s threat.
During this period, Qin Peng, Tie Jun, Pei Yong and others also had a rapid advancement in their cultivation level.
Ye Liuyun appointed them as deputy commanders of the DeDarkth Legion, entrusting them with the leadership of the armies across both worlds. Their mission was to continue strengthening the forces and preparing for future battles.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaofeng, Yuan Hao, Man Feng, Hyan Mutong and Sui Fenghu were preparing to lead an army of five hundred thousand to join Ye Liuyun on his campaign.
Xiao Yunfang and Jing Yong, as commanders of the Black Armor Guard, became Ye Liuyun’s personal guard, leaving the palace without its strongest protectors.
Ye Liuyun’s parents were also brought into his spatial world. With the world now populated enough and free from war, they could focus on their cultivation without feeling isolated or bored.
By bringing everyone close to him into his spatial world, Ye Liuyun was able to act without any lingering concerns.
The number of martial cultivators breaking through to the omnipotent level continued to grow. Li Yuanlang, Yao Guangyao, Li Xianying, three Fairy Clan elders, several experts from the Dragon Clan, and a few great beasts from the Beast Mountain all achieved this breakthrough during this period.
Qiong Qi, Lei Ming, Zhao Hu, Tiger King, Xue Rongtian, Xue Rongwu, Thousand Faces, Phantom Hand and the Twin Strike also ascended to the Omnipotent Level. Alongside Lin Wu, Liu Tianfeng and another onmipotent martial cultivators, they were prepared to fight alongside Ye Liuyun for the long haul.
Although Mo Tianheng, Mo Shaowen, Liu Yang and Liang Bin had not yet reached such heights in their cultivation, they had already proven their loyalty by following Ye Liuyun through countless trials. They were eager to accompany him to the sanctuary.
However, Ton Xin and others were still busy developing new equipment and the army’s gear was not fully prepared yet.
Ye Liuyun, accompanied by his omnipotent experts and martial cultivators, first utilized the teleportation black tower to reach the Star Island. From there, they boarded a cosmos flying vessel, setting course for the Sanctuary.
Ye Liuyun intended to gather intelligence in the Sanctuary before the main army’s departure, personally assessing the local situation. Even capturing some skilled craftsmen, alchemists and formation masters would be beneficial.
The journey after departing from Star Island would take at least a month even with the flying vessel travelling at its full speed.
This was the fastest possible, so they spent the time inquiring about the Sanctuary from Lin Wu and others to pass the tedious hours.
"Our strength is considered average in the sanctuary. The sanctuary is vast and densely populated with martial cultivators of all levels. However, almost every region has experts at the ninth tier and omnipotent level overseeing it.
So, our abilities aren’t particularly notable among the experts. It’s just that in the army, most soldiers are at the seventh to ninth tier of the Immortal Realm, which is why we were sent to assist the army and execute certain commands."
Lin Wu explained their strengths to everyone.
"Is there only one Sanctuary Dynasty controlling the entire Holy Land? How is their management?" Ye Liuyun inquired.
Lin Wu replied, "Yes, there’s only one dynasty and no one dares to oppose it. The main force of the Sanctuary Knight numbers over four million, with a reserve force of more than a million, not including the local garrisons. So, almost no faction can stand against them.
The Sanctuary Knights frequently dispatches about one and a half million troops to the cosmos, while the rest are stationed throughout the dynasty. All merchant guilds and conveyor formations are also under the dynasty’s control.
Most renowned formation masters, weapon-refining master and alchemists are employed by the dynasty. Therefore, no major force can contend with them."
"How does such a large dynasty manage so many people?" Ye Liuyun was puzzled.
Liu Tianfeng explained to Ye Liuyun, "They divide the entire world into ten territories, each managed by a royal prince. Below the princes are ten nobles, followed by grand city lords and minor city lords, managing layer by layer."
Ye Liuyun nodded, "That’s quite similar to the military’s management style!"
Lin Wu added, "These nobles also control vast resources and employ numerous craftsmen and alchemists, so their strength is not to be underestimated. However, their combined forces are no match for the Sanctuary Dynasty."
Ye Liuyun and the others also felt that undermining a dynasty as big as Sanctuary Dynasty was no easy feat.
"Is there any way we can infiltrate their army?" Ye Liuyun asked again.
"It’s out of consideration!" Lin Wu and Liu Tianfeng responded almost in unison.
They explained, "The Sanctuary Dynasty’s elite army has extremely strict requirements. Except for those recorded as descendants of the royal family, everyone else must start as a common soldier. Even those with influence can’t intervene.
Tie Mu, a commander with great influence power, is tightly monitored by the Sanctuary Dynasty, making it hard for outsiders to meddle with the military."
"What about getting close to the royal family and controlling them?" Ye Liuyun suggested, shifting his strategy from infiltrating the army to manipulating the royal descendants.
They replied, "That’s even more impossible. Every royal descendant and noble has a divine soul contract. They even have spirit sense. Whether they are controlled or killed, the dynasty would know immediately."
Hearing this, Ye Liuyun realized the situation was indeed quite thorny.
Ye Liuyun nodded, then suddenly asked, "Why don’t you have divine soul contracts?"
Lin Wu explained, "We are martial artists in a mercenary relationship, merely hired by the army. We have no solid foundation and don’t rely on any major powers, making it hard for us to survive otherwise.
Our role is just to add a bit of flair to the army and we don’t play any decisive role. It’s said that both the dynasty and the army have a squad of omnipotent level soldiers. However, the exact size is unknown to outsiders!"
"A squad of omnipotent level soldiers!" Ye Liuyun and the others gasped in shock.
They had only managed to gather a few people here, while the Sanctuary had an entire squad. The gap between them was even larger than they had imagined.
"I think we should proceed steadily and improve ourselves first! We need at least an army of which at omnipotent level!
For now, let’s have our soldiers train and improve. We can gather information from the royal territories of the Sanctuary. Once we’re familiar with the situation, we can think of a breakthrough," Mo Tianheng suggested.
Ye Liuyun nodded, "That seems to be the only way!"
