I Have A Cultivation World - Chapter 1858 - 925: Immortal Gate’s Foundations_4
Chapter 1858: Chapter 925: Immortal Gate’s Foundations_4
Once the military department moves, logistics naturally needs to keep pace.
Various standard flying swords, battle armor, starship energy, Divine Thunder bombs, spirit stone reserves, etc.
Narcissus solely focuses on leading troops into battle, pushing all these logistical tasks onto Chen Mobai, the Vice Hall Master.
It was at this time that Chen Mobai learned that the Immortal Gate’s military department had concealed so many treasures, besides the Star Space Battleships, there were the six major Heavenly Gates, the Four Symbols Dao Palace, the Twenty-Eight Constellations Immortal Armor, Lingxiao Palace…
All of these are the foundation accumulated by the Immortal Gate over the millennia, but because activating them consumes a massive amount of spirit stones, most have been sealed during non-war periods.
For example, each activation of a Star Space Battleship requires millions of Good Deed Points to ignite, and if its power is fully unleashed, it costs thousands or even nearly ten thousand spirit stones a day.
This time, due to the resistance met underground in the Different World, which was similar to that of demonic beasts, it hasn’t reached the stage for all-out efforts by the Immortal Gate; thus, only four Star Space Battleships, one North Heavenly Gate, and one of the Four Symbols, the Xuanwu Dao Palace, were activated.
Among these, Narcissus wanted to activate the Northern Seven Constellation Immortal Armor complementary to the Xuanwu Dao Palace, but it was jointly vetoed by Xianwu Hall and Kaiyuan Hall.
The Twenty-Eight Constellations Immortal Armor is the pinnacle of immortal gate artifact refining and talisman craftsmanship, a cultivator with perfect Core Formation wearing it can unleash power of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, the consumption for activation is considerable, requiring a Supreme Grade Spirit Stone daily; during times that aren’t crises of national destruction, the Three Great Halls would never agree.
Narcissus was quite displeased about this, but once Ying Guanghua showed her the current daily military expense account, she reluctantly set out with the Xuanwu Dao Palace, North Heavenly Gate, and four Void Starships.
Chen Mobai also checked, and just these few items required a daily expenditure of thirty million Good Deeds by Xianwu Hall.
If actual war breaks out, the minimum will be in the billions, and if the Xuanwu Dao Palace and the North Heavenly Gate were to unleash their full power, the expenses would increase several folds, enough to make the new financial minister, Lan Haitian, faint.
Narcissus led two major military districts and two hundred thousand cultivators to stand ready before the Portal.
Because the Xuanwu Dao Palace and North Heavenly Gate have been unused for a thousand years, and even the Star Space Battleships are rehearsed only once every few decades, Narcissus definitely needs to conduct drills before entering the Different World to avoid chaos during real warfare.
However, when the projectile launches, gold is spent massively.
Very soon, the Void Spiritual Energy Package given to Narcissus by Xianwu Hall was used up by one-tenth in the rehearsal, so she immediately notified Chen Mobai to have him, as the Vice Hall Master, request some military funds from Xianwu Hall.
The resources of the Immortal Gate required for warfare must be activated with various complex spiritual energies, and Xianwu Hall has long prepared the corresponding Void Spiritual Energy Package, granting Narcissus the authority to use it.
However, there is a limit on the quantity, fearing rebellion outside by generals, they use this as a means to control.
“Just report it first, then relay the rejection reply to the Hall Master…”
Chen Mobai said this to Zhuang Jialan beside him, who immediately took the document, and began to liaise with Xianwu Hall to handle the matter.
In the blink of an eye, the final month had passed.
…
A massive palace, black as turtle and snake, floated in the starry sky, known as the Xuanwu Dao Palace.
And between the Dao Palace and the Portal, there was a glazed Heavenly Gate filled with auspicious energy, the North Heavenly Gate.
Upon each strand of the North Heavenly Gate’s auspicious energy stood a cultivator from the Immortal Gate wearing black battle armor at Foundation Establishment, and behind each Foundation Establishment cultivator, there were a hundred Qi Practitioners in deep blue battle armor.
There were also four distinct Golden Core Masters clad in dark Taoist robes, standing before the Heavenly Gate.
At this time, silver light flickered in the starry sky as a group of cultivators with vigorous energy emerged from the void for the Immortal Gate’s sixteen Nascent Soul cultivators.
Three people exited first: one appeared gentle and elegant, one displayed a noble demeanor, and another exuded heroic charisma!
They were the three current Nascent Soul leaders of the Immortal Gate: the Head of Immortal Affairs, Ying Guanghua, the Master of Kaiyuan Hall, Qi Yuheng, and the Vice Hall Master of Hall of Orthodox Law, Chen Mobai!
Once the three of them appeared, the previously dark and profound Xuanwu Dao Palace released a mighty energy tidal wave.
Soon, Narcissus, with white hair and eyebrows, skin like jade, appeared above the Dao Palace. She stood barefoot on a turtle’s shadow while a long, dark shadow serpent coiled around her like a scarf, swirling in the starry sky, her aura infinitely surging under the blessing of the two symbols of turtle and snake.
Chen Mobai listened with Echoes in the Void, discovering that Narcissus’s aura was already not inferior to Qi Yuheng’s, possibly exceeding it.
After Narcissus appeared, seven Golden Core Masters with distinct auras emerged from the void, stepping on majestic tides as grand as the Tianhe, clad in dark Taoist robes and standing at the front, shadows of countless military department cultivators behind.
Chen Mobai’s eyes flashed, already discerning the numbers.
Each tide appeared as a heavenly bridge; aside from the leading Golden Core Master, there were hundreds of Foundation Establishment practitioners and thousands of Qi cultivation practitioners behind.
Centered around the Xuanwu Dao Palace, they stood according to the star positions of the Xuanwu Seven Constellations, forming a powerful Fifth Rank Great Formation.
“Greetings, esteemed masters!”
Narcissus was the first to salute the sixteen Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Gate in the starry sky, while Wenren Xuewei, who had successfully undergone Nascent Soul Formation, stood behind Chen Mobai.
As she moved, twenty thousand military department cultivators in the starry sky followed suit, raising fists across their chests in the Immortal Gate’s military salute.
“Greetings to the Orthodox Law Hall Master!”
Chen Mobai and the sixteen others naturally returned the salute.
Then they all approached the Portal to salute the true rulers of the Immortal Gate.
Ancestor Qian Xing sat before the half-opened Portal, with deep eyes, gazing at the Other World beyond, which was half desert and half deep sea.
“My puppet in the deepest part of the underground on this planet sensed traces of a presence nearly at Spirit Transformation. I plan to enter in true form; if I encounter an unstoppable powerful opponent, I will send a message, prepare to activate Lingxiao Palace.”
With Ancestor Qian Xing’s words, all seventeen Nascent Soul cultivators of the Immortal Gate looked solemn.
Lingxiao Palace is the Immortal Gate’s strongest war artifact; with a Deity Transformation True Monarch overseeing it, collaborating with the Four Symbols Dao Palace, six major Heavenly Gates, and drawing from the accumulated spiritual energies of Sky Curtain Ground Network over millennia, it can unleash the catastrophic Chaos Primal Energy Cannon.
Once, the Immortal Gate had used this to obliterate a powerful Other World, smashing it into cosmic dust!
This is also the Immortal Gate’s final and most potent measure.
“Should this matter be notified to Ancestor Bai Guang?”
At this moment, Ying Guanghua hesitated, yet still asked the question. As he spoke, he glanced at Chen Mobai, intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Mobai thought it was because he was the head of Dance Tool Dao Academy, and Ying Guanghua wanted him to inform the Five Peaks Immortal Mountains, pondering how to pass this task to Master Chengxuan; Ancestor Qian Xing shook his head, and said:
“In ten years, she will naturally emerge!”
