"Your Majesty, everything you asked us to prepare is ready. Some spirit materials are still being gathered from various regions, but they should all arrive within three days. The magic array in the valley has also been checked for faults and can be activated at any time."
Deep inside a mist-shrouded palace in the Heavenly Court on Immortal Ring Mountain, Immortal Emperor Xuanling sat upon his lofty throne, his eyelids lowered as though he were dozing.
Several Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Immortal Alliance entered and reported on their respective tasks. All had been ordered to gather various spirit materials and lay out magic arrays for him.
By now, the Immortal Alliance's forces were fully available to the Heavenly Court and the Ancient Immortals. Ample manpower and resources were being mobilized, flowing here in an unending stream and proving immensely useful.
In just a few short days, Immortal Emperor Xuanling had accomplished most of his earlier objectives. He was only one step away from beginning the reversal of space-time.
"Over these past two days, the Puppet Masters have swept through like a blade splitting bamboo, seizing most of the lower-tier territories in the southern Earthly Immortal Continent. I fear we will never recover our holdings on the overseas continents, including Wufu in the Central Sea, Nan Province, and Pian Province."
"And then there are those new celestial bodies born from the great upheaval of heaven and earth..."
Immortal Emperor Xuanling slowly opened his eyes. He said nothing, merely sitting there in contemplation.
He had now truly experienced the Puppet Masters' potential for warfare. This group, once constrained by traditional Dao paths, was displaying a terrifying power that inspired dread.
Especially their adaptability to the Dharma-Ending Age...
*They are practically the protagonists of the era in this new epoch. Immense fortune
