Chapter 286 7th Army Selection
She took out a small flying sword from her sleeve. It was a communication flying sword, and its high price meant that the Chen family dynasty rarely equipped its troops at the Qi Refining stage. It was only because she was a top Qi Refining expert that she was able to possess one.
"It carries my aura, and only my spiritual power can activate it. However, it still possesses a unique spiritual energy frequency, allowing other communication swords that are near it to find the correct location using its index."
Simply put, it's a sword-shaped signal transmitter.
She tore off a few tassels from the communication sword and handed them to the short students she was so fond of teaching.
“Once you have your own sword tassel, you will be able to find me through it.”
The tassels of the sword dwindled as they were passed around, until the last one ended up in Matt's hand.
Gently rubbed, it feels soft yet resilient; this is what makes Yunzhou's communication flying swords different from those of other forces.
It’s expensive for a reason.
The airship gradually slowed down and finally hovered in the sky.
A magnificent palace stands here, far from the Yelan River, thousands of miles south, all the way to the top of the grand town of Jingtai.
Located in the very center of present-day Yunzhou, this place was once a vital border town of Yunzhou, but has now become a major trading city. Countless goods come and go, and the exchange of various unique products from the south with the massive amount of goods grown on the stable northern land has given rise to an extremely prosperous commercial industry.
Directly above this city is the Heavenly Palace.
Stepping out of the flying boat, the first thing you see is a magnificent and boundless sea of clouds. The vast sky and earth are filled with golden light, and powerful cultivators coming and going leave behind streaks of golden light that appear and disappear in the sea of clouds.
The massive cloud-covered mountains floated in the distance, seemingly close enough to be touched at first glance, but they were probably hundreds of miles away.
After disembarking, turn around and you'll see the magnificent Heavenly Palace.
This is the template for all the standard palaces, including the central control point of the great formation on Jisui Mountain, the place where the ancient bell is placed on the forbidden mountain... they are all microcosms of a certain hall or part of this place.
The magnificent palace complex of the Heavenly Palace far surpasses the towering mountains and white clouds. Countless red walls and golden tiles, along with countless carvings of mythical beasts in various shapes, fill Zhong Ming's field of vision. The sunlight shines down, dazzling his eyes.
"Let's go, this is where we part ways."
As the new recruits disembarked from the airship and looked back at this "old buddy" that carried wave after wave of new human strength, a group of gratified faces watched them from the ancient cabin.
In any case, being alive is always the most fortunate thing.
You've survived the tough recruit period, go and experience your lives. We are just passersby in your lives, strangers who meet by chance, and may meet again someday.
The airship's stay was very short. As soon as the last recruit disembarked, the airship started moving and began to leave. The instructors stood there without saying a word.
It looked like an ancient flying boat, covered with masts.
.....
Turn around, move forward, and embrace your destiny.
Zhong Ming stood tall and proud. The team ranked first had already entered the military academy, and now, they were the number one team.
I'm so nervous, I can barely walk.
Stepping into such a magnificent avenue felt like entering a world of giants. Everything around him—the reliefs, the gates, the floor tiles—was several levels larger than usual. Zhong Ming couldn't discern the materials at all; he only felt that it was exceptionally ornate. The dazzling light made him dizzy, and he wondered if he could still walk in a straight line.
Xuan Jing's steel arm gently touched his hand; Xuan Jing was on his left.
On the right, a creaking sound came from Yue Kaishan pushing Chen Dahai's wheelchair across the paving stones, creating a slightly discordant noise.
It was these discordant voices that calmed Zhong Ming down. With his brothers all there, he could just go ahead with confidence.
Passing through the magnificent "square," before the main hall, stood a handsome and dignified guide, dressed in a magnificent red robe embroidered with a scene of unicorns crossing clouds. The cuffs were made of sea blue with white cloud patterns, and he wore dark blue pine-patterned cloud-walking shoes. He also wore a yin-yang gold and jade pendant at his waist. Just by standing there, one could not muster the slightest desire to make a fuss.
Zhong Ming looked up and realized that this was not the main hall of the Heavenly Palace.
Indeed, what right do they have to enter the main hall?
This is only a side hall accessible through a side entrance, but even so, it is the highest-level hall that most cultivators can enter in their entire lives.
The guide closed his eyes slightly and, seeing Zhong Ming approach, took out a long scroll and slowly unrolled it.
"Those who come to this line, please line up in order of your ranking. When I call out your name or Taoist name, you may enter the hall."
Zhong Ming was naturally the first one called.
He bowed respectfully to the guide before stepping into the hall.
Inside the hall, candlelight shone brightly.
Seven statues stand in seven directions, representing the powerful commanders of the seven wolf armies. There are also seven high platforms, each occupied by a powerful cultivator.
In addition, there are a large number of special departments.
Zhong Ming glanced at it briefly and saw a total of twelve powerful cultivators... and a paper standee with a human portrait on it.
On the high platform belonging to the Hidden Wolf Army, there was a paper sign about two meters tall with a rough sketch of a person in ink wash style. The person's face was completely obscured, and all that could be seen was that he was wearing a bamboo hat and a tight-fitting black shirt, standing sideways. Nothing else could be discerned.
On the other high platforms, the powerful cultivators all opened their eyes.
"Hey, this is interesting. It's just a Qi Refining Level 7 kid. What, are there no Qi Refining Level 9 guys this year? Or... did you kill them all? Hahaha."
The high-ranking cultivator from the Ruyi Wolf Army burst into laughter, instantly shattering the solemn atmosphere in the main hall.
The high-ranking cultivators of the Sirius Army were clearly used to this; it was all because of this foul-mouthed fellow's careless remarks.
"You're interested in joining my Ruyi Wolf... Forget it, with your appearance, the military leader probably wouldn't even look at you. Old man Tianlang, you should take him in."
"Where he goes is up to his own wishes; we won't force him." The Grand Master of the Sky Wolf Army clearly had absolute confidence.
However, the great cultivators of the Azure Wolf Army seemed to look at him with some ill intent.
No matter what the Sky Wolf Army sets its sights on, even if it's a pile of shit, the Azure Wolf Army will still try to snatch it.
As always, Zhong Ming first gave a deep bow to the esteemed person, making sure to show proper courtesy.
The senior cultivators grunted in agreement, acknowledging the great gift.
“Disciple of Tianfeng Daoist of Maoshan Taoist Temple, Master Cuihong, greets all seniors.” As soon as Zhong Ming spoke, the oldest cultivator suddenly realized who he was.
"Oh~~ You're from Maoshan Taoist Temple? No wonder you were the first to enter here. Of course, of course." He stroked his beard, nodding repeatedly, his face beaming with smiles.
The other powerful cultivators wanted nothing more than to punch him. What should he say? Just tell us already! Why are you keeping us in suspense?
Multiple divine thoughts immediately "bombarded" the area.
The elderly cultivator from the Lone Wolf Army chuckled and said, "Young friend, it seems you and our Lone Wolf Army are destined to meet."
