Becoming a true immortal through my descendents' praying

Chapter 210: Chapter 208: Sky Dragon Army

The Martial Saint with graying hair but a healthy complexion nodded his head.

“Let this old man do something for the Danai Dynasty again to atone for my sins.”

6 years ago, after the defeat of Blood Soul Valley and the Decree Bureau, the Martial Saint was knocked off his horse by the Fierce Sun Six Heroes who came to aid in the fight, and Yang Shi pleaded with everyone to spare his life.

In the end, he persuaded the people of the Sect and established the Martial Arts Hall of the Xuan Stone Sect, where he trained legions in the Commanding Technique for the Xuan Stone Sect and taught the Divine Skills to all Martial Cultivators in the world, thereby atoning for his sins through his contributions.

The Martial Saint was also acutely aware of the sins he had committed. Now that he had repaid the kindness of the Royal Family that had raised him, and had no more ties binding him, the Martial Saint became as pure as he had once been, discussing only the Martial Arts, keeping silent on matters of allegiance.

In his twilight years, he only wished to pass on his way… just as he had passed it on to Yang Shi, not asking for anything in return, just to usher in peace for Martial Cultivators all over the world.

The legion he led was called the Sky Dragon Army, composed entirely of Martial Cultivators.

A total of one thousand people!

All of them were personally selected by Yang Shi from the Martial Arts Hall for their Martial Arts talent.

Though they had no Spirit Roots, they were talented in Martial Arts; in Yang Shi’s eyes, that was the same as having a Martial Arts Spirit Root.

If they could reach the Divinity Realm and master their Divine Skills, their power would be comparable to a Cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage!

And after training in the Commanding Technique, they could integrate the strength of an entire legion into one, exhibiting power far beyond the capabilities of the average person.

Such excellent tactics should not be lost with the fall of Danai’s Decree Bureau.

Over the years, Yang Shi had also learned the Commanding Technique from the Martial Saint and had now mastered it, ready to take command of the legion in place of the Martial Saint at any time.

Yang Shi held deep feelings for the Sky Dragon Army, investing a great deal of resources into the legion.

Body Refining elixirs, Spirit Food in even larger amounts than what Cultivators received, and ample military pay.

Unlike the disciples of the Xuan Stone Sect, the Sky Dragon Army was composed of Martial Soldier Cultivators, ready to fight wherever directed, always prepared to charge into battle, and the military pay Yang Shi provided them was in Spirit Stones!

Spirit Stones that even Innate Grandmasters found difficult to earn were being distributed as military pay to every Martial Soldier.

Therefore, this thousand-person Sky Dragon Army not only had high talent and strong power, but their unity was also the rare kind of an iron-blooded legion, just like Yang Shi’s title suggested.

The Martial Saint himself had been in the Divinity Realm for many years and was even more powerful than Yang Shi. Leading such an iron-blooded legion was enough to suppress Bright City.

“Master, Martial Cultivators consume a lot in their training, and it’s more nourishing for them to eat Spirit Meat. I have arranged to buy Spirit Meat from Cultivators every day for their consumption, and the Spirit Stones will be drawn from the Sect—I have already spoken to them.”

“Martial Cultivators raised with so many resources… their future achievements won’t disappoint you, but… let’s forget about drawing Spirit Stones from the Sect. We’ve already received too much from the Sect on regular days. After we reach Devil Wind Forest, the Sky Dragon Army will become self-sufficient. It’s also a good opportunity for me to use these demons to train the troops.”

The Martial Saint did not want this legion to become a burden to the Xuan Stone Sect. Besides, he believed that a good legion was not just built with resources but also forged in battle!

This moment was a great opportunity to train the troops.

After hearing this, Yang Shi nodded: “That’s true, what Martial Cultivator hasn’t shed blood? Then I’ll leave it to Master to manage the security of Bright City while training the troops.”

“No worries, leave it to me.”

The Martial Saint’s face carried a smile as he found joy in being able to do these things. @@novelbin@@

He loved the Martial Arts way too much.

So much so that he looked at every Martial Cultivator as if they were his own children.

What could be more wonderful than watching 1000 talented children grow strong and carry forward his legacy?

The wrinkles on the Martial Saint’s face were becoming more numerous. He knew his Life Span was not much longer…

“All members of the Sky Dragon Army, follow me to slay demons! Only when you’ve killed enough for you to eat can you return!”

The Martial Saint charged on his horse, with the Sky Dragon Army following behind, a golden Giant Dragon hovering above the legion…

“The Military Soul is condensed from the spirit of the troops. Younger Brother Yang, your Sky Dragon Army… will have limitless potential in the future.”

Having fought for many years against Danai’s Decree Bureau, Ding Zhen naturally understood a bit about the Commanding Technique. Watching the departing backs of the Sky Dragon Army, he sincerely admired them.

“Older Brother Ding, with this army in place, we can protect the Xuan Stone Sect up high and deter the world down low. There won’t be any more chaos in the future.”

“It should indeed be so…”

Ding Zhen still remembered how shocked, disappointed, and furious he felt when he discovered that the Decree Bureau, which was supposed to protect the world, had been secretly funding demon cultivators.

And this legion was what the Danai Dynasty should have had.

“Uncle Ding, Dad, Little Jian and I are heading to the Devil Wind Forest! I will keep an eye on these clumsy cultivators.”

Yang Fuqing rode the long-haired parrot, pulling Yang Fujian behind her, smiled, and said farewell to both of them.

Ding Zhen said chucklingly, “Xiaoqing and Little Jian have grown up; they can protect others now…”

“Hmph~ Just remember whose territory this is, let’s go~”

Yang Fuqing was a bit smug, while Yang Fujian just nodded to the two men.

“Uncle, Father, I will protect my sister well.”

“Don’t show off, there are many unknowns in the Devil Wind Forest, always be cautious!” said Yang Shi sternly.

“Got it~ I have Big Mao, Second Mao, Third Mao, Fourth Mao… They will help me observe the surroundings.”

“We will! We will!”

“My eyes are like rulers!”

“Caw caw~”

The long-haired parrots called out exaggeratedly, amusing Yang Shi greatly.

“These spirit beasts have even learned to talk… off you go!”

Yang Fuqing was right; the Devil Wind Forest was her territory, her eyes and ears spread throughout the perimeter.

“Soul Seal, release!”

Yang Fuqing formed a spell on Big Mao, and a seal within her body that nurtured spirit beasts opened, releasing a huge black bat.

A Giant Winged Bat!

It had been Yang Shi’s mount, accompanying him into battle for many years, having consumed many fine items. Now, it was already at the Qi Refinement Realm ninth layer, quite powerful indeed.

Especially in terms of flying, it was extremely swift.

There were few of the same level that could match its speed.

In the night, it was like a fish in water.

After Yang Shi eliminated the Ge Family, obtaining the long-yearned Cloud Sea Deer, he gave the Giant Winged Bat to his daughter for protection.

Yang Fuqing, naturally capable of winning favor with demon beasts, had long been in talks with this one, directly making it one of her Soul Seal tamed beasts.

“Little Bat, go patrol near the Golden Spirit Land for me, and make sure those little cultivators don’t fall into the sharp-tailed weasel’s ambush. They can’t handle it.”

Although that area was considered a common resource, the sharp-tailed weasels were extremely dangerous as they could launch spikes from trees. If a cultivator failed to detect them in time, they could be fatal.

The Giant Winged Bat was not only fast at flying but also able to activate a Spiritual Power Wave through its racial traits to detect sharp-tailed weasels in the vicinity.

“Hmm~”

After making a noise, the Giant Winged Bat quickly flew off.

“Soul Seal, release!”

“Fire Fire, go check on the Fox Clan side, if you see any cultivator being dazed, go and kick them awake.”

These two locations were prone to troubles, so Yang Fuqing sent her two flying spirit beasts to keep watch.

She herself took Yang Fujian and headed deeper into the Devil Wind Forest.

“Little Jian, those talking monsters we saw yesterday, are they good demons or bad demons…”

“Demons, is there such a thing as a good one? Let me slay them with one sword; their fur could even make a coat for mother.”
