A Million Immortal Troops Besiege Penglai, Yet the Three Cloud Sisters Rush to Fight

The Celestial Court's million-strong army sealed off the outer seas around Penglai layer by layer.

Immortal soldiers filled the skies.

Warships covered the sea.

Even more Celestial Court cultivators skilled in water arts had slipped beneath the waves, temporarily suppressing the surrounding water veins. Their display clearly was not a probe—they truly intended to take Penglai in a single battle.

If such a force stood before the dojo of any ordinary Great Wilderness mighty figure, it would be enough to make one's scalp prickle.

Yet the atmosphere on Penglai's side was somewhat strange.

"Master, I'll go first."

Qiongxiao gripped the Mystic Origin Immortal-Slaying Sword, her gaze already fixed on the Celestial Court's left flank.

"Then I'll take the right."

Bixiao immediately chimed in.

"I can just test how fast the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors can cut after breaking through to Taiyi."

Yunxiao, however, did not rush to choose a position. She had been watching the ever-changing threads of aura above the Celestial Court army.

"Master."

"Your disciple wishes to try the Nine-Bend Cloud River Formation."

Zhao Gongming glanced at his three younger sisters.

"Then what about me?"

Bixiao turned her head.

"Elder Brother, your cultivation is the highest. Go wherever people are needed."

Zhao Gongming: "..."

Put nicely, it was go wherever people were needed.

Translated, it meant go wherever the work was hardest.

This registered disciple of his seemed to be visibly developing toward the role of "main laborer" in the sect.

Luxuan, however, did not dampen his disciples' enthusiasm.

He had never planned to slap all million immortal troops into the sea by himself.

That would indeed be fast.

But wasteful.

So many Celestial Court cultivators of different realms and fighting styles had delivered themselves to his doorstep. If he did not let the Three Cloud Sisters and Zhao Gongming fight them all once, it would be somewhat like casting pearls before swine.

Especially since the four of them had just completed another round of breakthroughs.

They sorely needed a true large-scale battlefield to digest what they had gained.

"Fine."

Luxuan looked at the Three Cloud Sisters.

"Below Great Luo."

"You handle them yourselves."

"Do not force yourselves."

"If you encounter anything you cannot deal with, retreat."

The Three Cloud Sisters nodded in unison.

Zhao Gongming was just about to ask whether he too belonged in the "below Great Luo" group.

Luxuan had already looked at him.

"You are the exception."

Zhao Gongming's eyelids twitched.

As expected.

"Master, please instruct me."

"You have only just entered Great Luo."

"Ordinary Taiyi cultivators no longer mean much to you."

Luxuan swept his gaze across the Celestial Court's battle formations.

"You may choose a few Great Luo cultivators to test yourself against."

Instead of being troubled, Zhao Gongming smiled at those words.

Now that was more like it.

A new realm.

New spiritual treasures.

The Twenty-Four Heavens had just taken shape.

He too wanted to know exactly how far he could fight now.

Yet Bixiao could not help feeling envious after hearing this.

"Elder Brother can already fight Great Luo cultivators."

Zhao Gongming was in a fine mood.

"What?"

"Jealous?"

Bixiao nodded earnestly.

"A little."

Zhao Gongming had just been about to put on the dignified air of an elder brother.

Then her next sentence followed.

"Mostly because Great Luo cultivators should have more treasures on them."

Zhao Gongming: "..."

This girl had been thoroughly led astray by Master.

Now, the first thing she looked at in an enemy was their cultivation.

A higher cultivation meant their equipment might be better.

The logic loop was perfectly complete.

Luxuan gave a light cough.

"Fight if you want to fight."

"But don't start thinking about spoils yet."

Bixiao blinked.

"Can I think about them after the fight?"

"..."

Luxuan suddenly felt that there did not seem to be anything wrong with that.

"As you wish."

The moment his words fell, Bixiao smiled with exceptional delight.

On the Celestial Court's side.

Dongwang Gong had clearly noticed the activity on Penglai's side as well.

Especially when he saw Luxuan's four disciples truly take the initiative to leave the immortal island's boundaries, a chill surfaced in his eyes.

"Luxuan."

"Are you planning to send several disciples to their deaths?"

Luxuan did not even turn around.

"You should worry about your own people first."

Dongwang Gong gave a cold snort.

"Immortals of the Celestial Court, heed my command!"

Boom!

A million immortal soldiers stepped forward at once.

"Take Penglai!"

"We obey the Sovereign's command!"

The heaven-shaking roar swept across the Eastern Sea.

Countless treasures rose into the air at once.

Divine arts filling the sky crashed toward Penglai like a torrential rain.

The Three Cloud Sisters moved almost simultaneously.

Yunxiao's white robes fluttered.

The Primordial Unity Golden Dipper soared into the sky.

"Nine-Bend Cloud River."

"Rise!"

Rumble!

Nine vast cloud rivers surged up from the Eastern Sea, spanning over a hundred thousand miles in an instant and directly engulfing several large Celestial Court battle formations on the left.

A flash of sword-light flickered beneath Qiongxiao's feet.

She had already shot tens of thousands of miles away.

A streak of azure Sword Qi swept across the sea's surface, cleaving through the center of the battle formation that several hundred immortal soldiers at the front had just assembled.

Bixiao was even more direct.

Space folded.

She vanished from where she stood.

When she reappeared, she had somehow slipped directly to the side of a Taiyi square formation of the Celestial Court.

"Hey!"

A Taiyi cultivator abruptly turned his head.

What he saw was two golden flood dragons baring their fangs and brandishing their claws.

"What is that?!"

The next moment.

Crack!

The protective immortal light he had just raised was instantly snipped apart by the Golden Flood-Dragon Scissors.

The Taiyi cultivator's scalp went numb with fright, and he turned to flee.

Bixiao's eyes lit up.

"Don't run!"

"I haven't finished testing them yet!"

One chased while the other fled.

In the blink of an eye, they had streaked tens of thousands of miles away.

The Celestial Court cultivators watched with strange expressions.

Who exactly was besieging whom?

At the same time.

Twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls had appeared behind Zhao Gongming.

He did not attack in haste.

Instead, his gaze settled upon the several dozen Great Luo cultivators at the forefront of the Celestial Court army.

Finally.

He raised a hand and pointed at six people.

"You."

"You."

"And you four."

The expressions of the six Celestial Court Great Luo cultivators gradually darkened.

One of them said coldly, "Zhao Gongming, you have only just entered Great Luo, yet your tone is quite bold."

Zhao Gongming smiled.

"Just entered Great Luo."

"That is why I found you to test myself against."

After saying that.

All twenty-four Sea-Calming Divine Pearls lit up at once.

The six Great Luo cultivators instantly felt the surrounding space sink violently.

In the distance.

Luxuan stood at the edge of Penglai.

He did not immediately seek out Dongwang Gong to fight.

He merely watched as his four disciples entered the battlefield one after another.

Insight after insight from their growth had already begun to flow ceaselessly toward him through an unseen connection.

The corners of Luxuan's lips rose slightly.

This million-strong immortal army had indeed come at just the right time.

There were many people.

Their professions were complete.

Their cultivation levels also spanned a broad range.

In a game.

It was absolutely a large-scale experience dungeon.

Since Dongwang Gong had so sincerely delivered people to his doorstep himself.

Then there was no need to waste them today.
