Practice begins with immortality

Following the general's command, the troops began their mighty march. A burst of passionate shouts rang out, and the crowd in the audience, like arrows from a bow, took to the air and rushed in the designated direction.

However, among this group, one figure stood out. It was the True Immortal known as Huoyan. He stood tall and majestic, emanating a powerful, heart-pounding aura. Compared to the other soldiers, his flying speed was ten or even nine times faster.

Seeing this scene, the many ascenders present could not help but stare at Huoyan's receding back in amazement, muttering to themselves: "Is this a true immortal? The gap between him and us is like that between an elephant and an ant." Some people showed an expression of disbelief on their faces, as if they couldn't believe what they saw; others were full of awe, full of admiration for this legendary true immortal.

At the same time, many people were filled with an irrepressible excitement. They stared intently at the direction Huo Yan had vanished, their eyes gleaming with determination. They secretly clenched their fists, shouting in their hearts, "So what if I'm a True Immortal? I might be able to achieve this!" In the eyes of these ambitious people, as long as they could survive and continue to cultivate diligently, they would one day overcome numerous obstacles, embark on the path to True Immortality, and become as remarkable as Huo Yan.

However, "How can it be that easy?" The experienced veterans saw through their thoughts at a glance and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. "To break through to the First Tribulation True Immortal realm, the magic gold required is not a small amount, at least tens of thousands of taels. But the total amount of magic gold produced by the ancient country in a year is only 20 to 30 million taels. Moreover, the majority of this magic gold is produced by the ancient country's ancestors who have reached the third tribulation! The rest will be divided into two parts. One part will be added to the national treasury for emergency response; the other part will be used to provide for the True Immortals for daily cultivation."

"Let's take a look at the situation within the ancient country. There are only about ten Second Tribulation True Immortals, and slightly more First Tribulation True Immortals, now approaching five hundred. As for immortal cultivators like us who are at a lower level, they are countless."

"The amount of magic gold circulating in the market is far too limited, and the Ancient Nation's True Immortals simply don't have enough! And trying to gather a full ten thousand taels of magic gold is practically impossible! Even if you're lucky this time, the top ten might be able to get between three and five taels of magic gold. As for the first place winner, the most they'll probably get is around ten taels. But even if you manage to gather enough magic gold with such difficulty, there's still the even more daunting tribulation ahead! This tribulation is incredibly difficult, and out of a hundred people who attempt it, only three or five will ultimately succeed!"

...............................

Since the soldiers in Wang Bai's unit had all reached the immortal realm, their mission was to lead the charge as a vanguard, so they marched at an extremely fast speed. In just half a quarter of an hour, the team quickly arrived at their designated destination.

After everyone steadied themselves, they gazed forward. Far ahead, they saw a vast expanse of white. A cursory glance could easily mistake it for ordinary mist. However, with a little more focused observation, they could clearly see that the white wasn't simply mist, but a herd of snow beasts galloping furiously. Their numbers were so numerous, densely packed, that they filled the entire field of vision, like a surging white torrent, a majestic and awe-inspiring sight.

At that moment, the True Immortal standing at the front of the group witnessed this scene. He raised his hand calmly and launched a powerful attack. Instantly, a resounding roar echoed through the clouds, and the once clear sky was instantly enveloped by a vast darkness. Then, everyone was astonished to see, above the inky black sky, an enormous black sun appeared, emitting waves of terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.

"Fall!" The Immortal Huoyan's expression was grim as he uttered the word indifferently. Before he finished speaking, countless black arrows suddenly rained down from the dark sun hanging high in the sky. These arrows, shrouded in blazing black flames, like flaming messengers from the depths of hell, rained down upon the herd of snow beasts below.

Under this wave of "arrow rain", the vanguard of the snow beasts suffered heavy casualties. Many snow beasts that did not reach the fairyland were simply grazed by the "arrows", and their entire bodies were vaporized, leaving only a blue ice crystal.

Just as the rain of black flame arrows was madly harvesting the snow beasts, the next moment, "Roar!!!"

With a loud roar, a giant blue gaseous hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the black sun. Then, with a "bang", the black sun was crushed by the giant hand!

Following the giant hand, everyone saw a white giant. The next moment, the white mist dissipated, and the giant's true appearance became clear: it was a frost giant with antlers. The horns on its head looked like a kind of spiritual wood.

As the giant appeared, the true immortal also took off into the air.

"The Ice God Beast? Perfect! Let's see if you can fight me with all your strength!"

Before he finished speaking, the shadow of a giant black dog gradually appeared on the body of the True Immortal named Huoyan. The next moment, the two of them actually left the place and fought in a more open area!

"Kill!"

Seeing that the Ice God Beast had been dealt with, the remaining people excitedly rushed towards the previously dispersed group of snow beasts. However, a cyclone of ice suddenly appeared, and the people who had rushed forward were frozen into ice sculptures. The next moment, the ice sculptures shattered, and the people died.

"They are snow beasts from the fairyland, and there are about 10,000 of them! Those killed by Lord Huoyan before were just the old, weak and sick ones who were clearing the way! Be careful!" An experienced veteran shouted loudly.

At the same time, a red divine light came down from the north, instantly melting nearly a hundred snow beasts and leaving a gully on the ground.

"Legions from other places are coming too."

Unlike the legion Wang Bai and his companions were in, which consisted entirely of immortal cultivators, other legions contained many cultivators below the immortal realm. These were descendants of families recruited from ancient nations, and their treatment differed from that of ascended cultivators. Wang Bai and his companions had come on their own, traveling aboard the legion's warships, which was both safer and more comfortable.

"Shit! Killing a snow beast with an external object counts as a military achievement?"

"Of course, it's because he was born in a good place in the upper realm!"

"Stop talking nonsense and do it quickly!"
