Traveling through time to cultivate immortality: a life and death test

"Haha, Marshal! What a great marshal! Since the ascension of our founder, Qianji Sect finally has the strength to challenge the world again!" Cao Changyun laughed heartily.

"Haha." Everyone laughed too.

"Elder Cao, we have been traveling all the way in secret, unknown to outsiders. Now the enemy is in the open, and I am in the dark. This is the best time to use surprise attacks to win." Chen Gong said.

"What Fellow Daoist Chen said is absolutely right. There are ten top sects in Zhongzhou, and hundreds of affiliated sects of various sizes. According to incomplete statistics, there are more than thirty great cultivators in the late Nascent Soul stage, and hundreds in the Nascent Soul stage. However, each sect and school has its own heritage, and for tens of thousands of years they have been independent, restraining each other, and each has its own allies. So we have to send out surprise attacks frequently and defeat them one by one." Cao Changyun added.

"We have nearly a hundred years. We don't need to rush for quick success. Instead, we can adopt the policy of making friends with distant countries and attacking nearby ones, take our time, and erode the enemy bit by bit," said Nangong Yan.

"The Marshal instructed that Zhongzhou is a vast land with abundant resources. There is no need to be attached to the land and disperse our forces. This battle is mainly to seize the enemy's resources, enslave the enemy's leaders, and kill the enemy's living forces. In short, all cultivators must obey the Marshal, and all resources must be centralized and distributed. Those who refuse to obey will be beaten into submission, and those who resist will be killed!" King Kong's loud voice rang out. He imitated Liu Xing's message, and everyone present felt a cold and murderous atmosphere.

"Yes!" Chen Gong and Nangong Yan immediately stood up and accepted the order.

"So domineering!" Shangguan Nan and Cao Changyun looked at each other with serious expressions. Liu Xing did not show up in person, but they could still feel his power through the voice transmission of King Kong Warrior.

The general strategic plan was decided in a few words by several great monks. The next step was to formulate a specific war plan.

Thus, all of the Qianji Sect's Nascent Soul and Core Formation leaders were summoned for a mobilization meeting, with Cao Changyun personally presiding. Ten Nascent Souls were present: Cao Changyun and Nangong Yan, two late-stage Great Monks, and Shangguan Nan, a mid-stage Nascent Soul. Besides the two recent Nascent Souls, Lü Hua and Dao Lang, there were five veteran Nascent Soul elders, all trained within the sect. The Qianji Sect's original Nascent Soul count, including those of its affiliated sects, was three or four times its current number. However, after its decline, the sect's Nascent Souls, both dedicated and affiliated, left the sect. Some passed away in meditation, while others perished in battle, leaving only ten remaining.

"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. After our family fell into poverty, this is all we have left." Nangong Yan felt sympathetic.

"Congratulations to Senior Sister Nangong for breaking through to the late Nascent Soul stage!" Several Nascent Soul cultivators were now overjoyed. The sect had two more great cultivators, which was enough to once again rank among the top ten sects.

"Congratulations, thank you all, brothers and nephews." Nangong Yan hadn't seen his fellow brothers in the sect for a long time, and was very happy to see them now.

"Now, not only has Junior Sister Nangong returned, but she has also brought two special forces teams with amazing combat power. These are all the forces of our leader Liu Xing! Liu Xing now proclaims himself the marshal, and the two captains, Chen Gong and King Kong, are also the marshal's capable generals! Next, the special forces members will become our comrades-in-arms, and we will conquer the world together!" After Cao Changyun and everyone calmed down, he said a long speech that made everyone excited.

"Marshal? What a cool name!" There were many of Liu Xing's former fans in the crowd, including Miao Qiuyue, who now had reached the late Jindan stage.

"Conquer the world! What a domineering ambition! But I like it." The younger generation, including Lu Hua and Dao Lang, were even more excited. They had been bullied by the ten major sects for years, and they had had enough of this.

"When will Sect Leader Liu return?"

"What is Senior Brother Liu's current level of cultivation?"

"With Captain Liu leading the team, our Wolf Warriors can achieve greater success again!"

Everyone chatted, clearly curious about Liu Xing's recent situation and eagerly anticipating his return. The crowd erupted in excitement for a full quarter of an hour before finally settling down.

"The Marshal is now in seclusion far away to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul. He ordered us to be the vanguard and stir up the situation in Central China first. When he returns, it will be the day to unify the world." Nangong Yan said with a smile.

"Wow! He's almost breaking through to the middle Nascent Soul stage! Senior Brother Liu is truly incredible!" The youngsters were overjoyed, as if Liu Xing's rapid breakthrough was natural. They were even more excited than their own breakthrough. The power of idols was truly formidable. The older Nascent Soul cultivators were also astonished. While Sect Leader Liu's talent was undoubtedly exceptional, a breakthrough required great luck. Furthermore, the fact that he had subdued a late Nascent Soul cultivator as a general showed his incredible strength. The more mature and prudent they were, the more they would think beyond the ordinary.

"I see that most of the people here are fans of Liu Xing, even I am one, haha." Cao Changyun was very pleased to see the thriving scene, and was also happy for Liu Xing's huge influence in the sect.

Elder Cao, who was always dignified, rarely made a joke with everyone, and everyone became more relaxed and laughed non-stop.

"Senior Brother Su, Liu Xing has finally grown up. If you knew about this in the afterlife, you can finally rest in peace." Elder Cao muttered silently in his heart.

"Grand Elder, our entire sect has been training for ten years and is ready to fight an external war! All the disciples want to make military achievements and uphold justice for the sect! We are ready! Please tell us how to make the next military arrangements!" What Lu Hua and Dao Lang are most concerned about is the war. They have been ready to show their skills for a long time.

"That's right, Elders Lu Hua and Dao Lang prepared for a rainy day and overcame all difficulties to organize military training, which is now put to good use. They are awarded second-class merit and a pill to improve their cultivation!" Cao Changyun waved his hand and two bottles of pills flew out. Lu Hua and the other two happily accepted them, but they were more concerned about the war.

"The Marshal has ordered that the entire Qianji Sect form a Qianji Army, with Nangong Yan as the commander-in-chief! Commander Nangong Yan will be available to introduce the specific arrangements to everyone." With just a few words, Cao Changyun gave the right to speak to Nangong Yan.

Nangong Yan glanced at Cao Changyun and understood his intentions. This wasn't Liu Xing's arrangement; the Marshal couldn't control these details. It was Cao Changyun who acted on his own initiative, using Liu Xing's skin as a pretext. She also took advantage of the situation and continued to use Liu Xing's skin, determined to maintain Liu Xing's prestige in the army.

"Pass on the Marshal's order, appointing Lu Hua and Shangguan Nan as deputy commanders, and the other six Yuanying disciples as captains of ten thousand men, each leading an army. Currently, the number of people in each army is insufficient, and the captains of ten thousand men must fight to support the war and replenish their own troops on the battlefield. The Jindan stage disciples will be captains of thousands of men, and the foundation-building stage disciples will be captains of centurions, leading the Qi-training disciples to win this battle!" Nangong Yan slowly stated the army-building plan.

"Greetings, Commander Nangong! Win every battle!" Everyone sat upright and shouted in unison.

All the middle and high-level disciples present were transformed into middle and high-level generals of the Thousand Machine Army. They were all surprised and excited.
