Chapter 1125: Chapter 748: Helping Qi Tian Break Through to Martial Saint

"Then I shall lend him a helping hand!" Chen Yuan’s eyes sparkled with Divine Light.

Upon hearing this, Gongsun Yang’s heart trembled, and he spoke with a hint of excitement, "General, what do you plan to do?"

Chen Yuan remained silent, raised his hand, flicked his sleeve, and a golden light flared up, releasing a soul-stirring wave that he grasped in his hand.

Inside the golden Divine Chain wrapping, a fierce blood-colored dragon soul was locked within.

This was the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit that had been slain earlier!

Seeing this, Gongsun Yang’s body trembled from the Demon King’s aura, gathered his spirit, and bowed to the General with a hesitant expression.

"General, this is the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit, incredibly useful, and hard to find in the world. Are you planning to give this Primordial Spirit to the Heavenly General to refine?"

The imprisoned Demon King’s Primordial Spirit is, likely, the only one in the entire world, and the value of such a Primordial Spirit far exceeds Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, even surpassing the Luck Spirit Root.

Yet the General intends to entrust it to the Heavenly General for refining, even an "outsider" like him feels reluctant.

After all, the Heavenly General is not his superior; he has always recognized only his own General.

Chen Yuan caught the meaning behind the seasoned soldier Gongsun Yang’s words and chuckled indifferently, "The Demon King’s Primordial Spirit isn’t much use to me, holding onto it only delays its purpose, why not quickly turn it into strength instead. Now, at Yunding Mountain, the soldiers are gathering and heading south, the forces are vulnerable, the west side has the State Preceptor guarding it, somewhat manageable, but the north, King of Beiliang and I are arch-enemies, will surely find an opportunity to attack. Qi Tian missed breaking through to Martial Saint last time by just a step, with this Demon King’s Primordial Spirit, he should be able to achieve a breakthrough to Martial Saint in one fell swoop!"

"Using one Demon King’s Primordial Spirit to exchange for one of our own Martial Saints, this deal is worthwhile no matter how you look at it, no need to be caught up in personal gains and losses."

"After all, what I want isn’t just a Demon King’s Primordial Spirit!"

Having said that, Chen Yuan slightly opened his mouth, and released six leaves with different Divine Lights from his hand, then slightly ate, causing the six Divine Light leaves to fly towards the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit, swirling and dancing, instantly turning into a colorful wooden box, sealing the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit again.

Then, he lightly shook his hand forward, and the colorful wooden box floated over to Gongsun Yang, who was a few feet away.

"Go, personally deliver it to Qi Tian at Tianxiong Pass!"

"Let him refine it quickly and break through."

Gongsun Yang accepted the box with both hands, feeling its immense weight, not daring to make a mistake, and responded:

"Yes!"

Having said this, his steps wavered, and his figure instantly disappeared from sight.

Chen Yuan watched the other leave, flicked his sleeve backward, internally musing, Heavenly General Qi Tian, don’t let me, Mr. Chen, down.

As for the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit, which he just laid hands on but hadn’t yet warmed up, sending it away didn’t concern him at all, since this was something that had been "given for free," and if it could help Qi Tian breakthrough to Martial Saint, it would be a timely rain, the Qi Tian guarding the northern border has always been a weak point.

If this weakness could be addressed, then his current southern campaign would have far fewer concerns!

After contemplating this internally, Chen Yuan turned around, gazing at the empty Yunding Mountain, before raising his eyes again, piercing through space, his gaze dim yet clear.

........

Eight thousand miles north of Jingguan City, Tianxiong Pass.

Suddenly, in the sky above the plaza outside the hall, a beam of white light tore through the heavens, connecting heaven and earth, and descended with a thunderous roar in the center of the plaza, emitting a resounding clang, whipping up wild winds, causing the flags on the plaza to flap fiercely.

A blazing white column of light descended from the sky, landing on the Colonel Palace’s plaza.

Rumbling

Immediately afterward,

The milky white light dissipated, and from within it, a figure emerged.

Wearing Black Cyan Armor, with a gray-white goatee, walking the Four-direction Step, robust in form, striding with the wind, who else could it be but Gongsun Yang.

With the appearance of this figure, the armored soldiers guarding outside the hall formed two columns, rushing toward the visitor. Soon after, two burly figures emerged from the Colonel Palace, stepping out to greet him.

General Qi Tian and the local Colonel Wei Zhong, one behind the other, seemed to have been waiting here, approached, descended the stairs, crossed a hundred-odd feet with a few strides, arrived in front of the visitor, and courteously supported his hand,

"Mr. Gongsun, has the army already been dispatched?"

Qi Tian wasted no time on pleasantries, directly inquiring about the issue that concerned him most.

He guarded Tianxiong Pass, received word, was aware that today’s Yunding Mountain would hold a seal-ceremony, with a hundred thousand soldiers dispatched southward, and he couldn’t be unconcerned.

"The ceremony concludes, one hour ago, a hundred thousand soldiers departed Jingguan!" Gongsun Yang nodded, his expression serious.

"So, Mr. Gongsun came here, is it because General Chen sent you to inform me to watch for movements from King Beiliang?" Qi Tian felt slightly anxious upon hearing that the army had started heading south.

This time, it’s the entire strength of Shu assembled for this campaign, a battle described as breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, fighting with one’s back to the water, as General, he knew how heavy the weight resting on his shoulders was, feeling somewhat burdened.

Stationed at Tianxiong Pass, with fires raging inside the border, Shu’s army headed for the mountains, that rebel king would certainly cause trouble, he had prepared many defenses in advance, but felt uncertain about it, for his constrained power limited his confidence.

"Yes and no." Gongsun Yang spoke with a grave expression, "My General sent this old man here because there’s something to be handed to the General."

"This matter is of great importance, let’s find somewhere else to talk."

"Please!"

Shortly after, in a side hall, Gongsun Yang turned over his sleeve, handing the colorful box inside to Qi Tian.

"May I ask Mr. Gongsun, what is within it?" Qi Tian received the box, even through the blindness he felt somewhat alarmed, couldn’t help but ask.

"Contained within is a Demon King’s Primordial Spirit!" Gongsun Yang startled him with the revelation, causing the well-experienced Qi Tian General’s eyebrows to twitch involuntarily, surprised, nearly dropping it.

The Demon King is a top-level existence at the Martial Saint Level of the Human Clan...

"No worries, the Demon King’s Primordial Spirit inside has been locked by the General, can’t become a demon." Gongsun Yang reassured.

"This is, entrusted to me?" Qi Tian felt the item in his hand growing hot, with his usual steadfastness in the military, he seemed to have some guess, his breathing unconsciously getting heavy.

Gongsun Yang nodded, "This Demon King today sought to secretly sabotage the ceremony, was captured by my General and used to uphold the ceremony flag, after the ceremony ended, the General entrusted this item to me, commanded me to hand it to the Qi General."

"The General hopes you can use this Demon King’s Primordial Spirit to achieve a breakthrough to Martial Saint!"

Upon hearing these words, General Qi Tian felt the colorful box weighing a thousand pounds. The opportunity for breaking through to Martial Saint that this object provides is priceless, the sentiment behind it, he knew he’d never forget.

But as a leader commanding thousands upon thousands, he wouldn’t utter sentimental words, merely nodding heavily, wolf-like eyes looking at Gongsun Yang, expressing countless words into one, he spoke:

"I won’t let your General down!"
