What did it mean to mobilize the strength of an entire nation?
Founding Chancellor Wang Meng of Great Zhou led one thousand Creation Realm cultivators, ten thousand Dao Realm cultivators, one hundred thousand World King Realm elites of Great Zhou, along with five hundred thousand Central Imperial Guard soldiers, straight into the Nine Heavens. That was called mobilizing the strength of an entire nation.
Wherever the army passed, a thousand armies scattered before it.
Not to mention those martial artists who had formed small cliques, or the folk sect forces.
Those with eyes had long since moved aside. Those without eyes were simply crushed into ash.
Within the Nine Heavens, there were three places where the Investiture of the Gods Scroll frequently appeared and lingered.
Over the past three days, these four manifestation sites had already run red with blood.
The victors occupied the sites, waiting quietly for their opportunity, or for the next wave of attackers.
The only choice left to the defeated was to shout the name of a Dao Ancestor before death, then send a wisp of their true spirit straight into the Creation Divine Court to await investiture.
Once the army entered the Nine Heavens, the five hundred thousand Central Imperial Guard split into separate routes to establish camps. Beginning at the Creation Divine Court stone inscription before the Eastern Divine Gate, they set up fortresses every thousand li and great camps every ten thousand li, all the way to the Gazing Cloud Platform nearest the Eastern Divine Gate.
The Gazing Cloud Platform was one of the grand sights within the Nine Heavens.
Since the Nine Heavens had become independent, all manner of strange and splendid landscapes had evolved within it. The Gazing Cloud Platform was one of them.
The platform was in truth a mountain.
