Yan Yang, Training Dao Soldiers

"Reporting to the three Dao Lords, the Eastern Region Holy Temple has been breached." A messenger dressed in a black robe knelt on the ground, his voice trembling as he spoke. "All three garrison commanders have perished, and almost the entire thousand Holy Temple Iron Cavalry have been wiped out."

"What?!"

The Scarlet Emperor slammed his fist on the armrest of his throne, roaring in fury, "A bunch of useless trash! They can't even defend a small Eastern Domain! What use are they to me!"

The Azure Emperor frowned and asked, "Who did it? Have you found out?"

The envoy said, "The leader is an unfamiliar man with the cultivation level of the Early Dao Union. His origins are unknown. He subdued the Three Kings of the Eastern Domain and three human Dao Union cultivators, Qingyun, Bi Shui, and Hongling, and led an army of over 40,000 to conquer the Eastern Region Holy Temple."

"Unknown origins?" The White Emperor raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. "Could he, like Taichu, be another lad favored by the Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus?"

The Azure Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "It's very possible. The Primordial Beginning Azure Lotus has always been against us, and this person may have been tricked into opposing our Holy Temple. But it doesn't matter; he's just a wild brat and can't cause any real trouble."

The Scarlet Emperor coldly snorted, "Who cares about his origins? Anyone who dares to challenge the majesty of our Holy Domain must die! I will personally go to the Eastern Domain, tear that brat named Li Yunjing to pieces, and slaughter everyone involved in the rebellion!"

"No need," the Azure Emperor waved his hand and said, "A mere Early Dao Union brat isn't worth your personal attention. Just send a disciple at the Dao Union Perfection. It just so happens that Yan Yang recently broke through to the Dao Union Perfection; let him go and gain some experience."

The White Emperor nodded and said, "Yan Yang has good talent. He cultivates your Fire Element Origin Principle, and his strength is considered above average among those at the Dao Union Perfection. Letting him go should be enough."

The Scarlet Emperor said with some dissatisfaction, "Sending only one at the Dao Union Perfection? Isn't that too easy on that kid?"

The Azure Emperor laughed and said, "Don't worry, how could a wild brat in the Early Dao Union Realm be a match for Yan Yang? Yan Yang will definitely be able to easily deal with him."

Moreover, this is a perfect opportunity to intimidate the forces of the other four domains and let them know the consequences of provoking the Holy Domain.

The Scarlet Emperor thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, I'll do as you say."

The Azure Emperor addressed the messenger. "Pass on my order: Yan Yang must immediately proceed to the Eastern Domain to quell the rebellion. Anyone involved in the rebellion must be executed without exception!"

"Yes, Lord Dao!"

The envoy bowed in response, then turned and quickly left the Primordial Beginning Hall.

The Azure Emperor picked up the teacup on the table, took a small sip, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

In his eyes, Li Yunjing was nothing but a clown, and once Yan Yang appeared, he would surely die.

He didn't take it to heart at all.

Little did he know that his seemingly insignificant decision would bring annihilation to the entire Primordial Beginning Dao Realm.

Eastern Region Holy Temple.

After a day of cleaning, the temple has been restored to its original state.

All the bodies were buried, and all the bloodstains were washed away.

Li Yunjing transformed the main hall of the temple into his own council hall.

At this moment, Li Yunjing was sitting in the main seat, looking at the crowd below.

"Everyone, although we have conquered the Eastern Region Holy Temple, this is only the beginning," Li Yunjing said slowly.

"The Holy Domain will definitely not let this go. It won't be long before they send reinforcements. We must be fully prepared for the upcoming battle."

True Lord Bishui said, "Senior is right. The Holy Domain suffered such a great loss in the Eastern Domain, so they will definitely send a large army to retaliate."

We should immediately strengthen the temple's defenses, while continuing to expand our army and preparing for a protracted war.

Fairy Hongling said, "Senior, I suggest we immediately send troops to the Southern Region. Before the Holy Domain's reinforcements arrive, let's take over the Southern Region and expand our territory and strength."

In this way, we will have more resources and manpower to fight against the Holy Domain's army.

Li Yunjing shook his head and said, "Now is not the time to send troops to the Southern Region."

We have just captured the temple, and morale is still low. The army also needs rest and reorganization.

If we rashly send troops to the Southern Region now, and reinforcements from the Holy Domain suddenly arrive, we will find ourselves attacked from both sides."

He paused, then continued, "My plan is to first transform the Eastern Region Holy Temple into our headquarters."

This place is strategically important, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has existing fortifications. Once our Luozhen Sect army arrives, this will become our encampment."

"In the time to come, what we need to do is strengthen our defenses, train our troops, and stockpile food and supplies."

At the same time, send people to closely monitor the movements of the Central Holy Domain, and report to me immediately if there is any disturbance.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Yes, senior!"

The crowd responded in unison.

At this moment, Li Yunjing flipped his right hand, and three Jade Slip appeared in his hand.

"These are the three training methods for Dao soldiers passed down in my Tianyuan sect. You should study them carefully and then begin training the corresponding Dao soldiers."

Li Yunjing handed the three Jade Slip slips to the Golden Wing King.

Dao soldiers are a very special type of cultivator.

Its origins can be traced back to soldiers in the mortal realm.

In Tianyuan, Dao soldiers were created by a cultivator by chance.

Legend has it that the cultivator who created the Dao soldiers happened to encounter two armies fighting in the mortal realm while he was traveling in the mortal world.

He discovered that when the soldiers of the two armies clashed, the soldiers of one army cooperated very well, and there was even a military formation to assist them.

This allowed the army to achieve an easy victory.

This immediately inspired the cultivator: if mortal soldiers could achieve this, what about cultivators?

Upon returning, the cultivator collected information on military formations and other matters in the mortal realm, eventually creating the unique profession of Dao Soldier.

Dao soldiers are soldiers among cultivators, and they often number in large numbers.

Dao soldiers, like ordinary soldiers, can form large formations composed of people.

Even a large formation composed of a hundred Qi Refining Completion cultivators can easily kill Foundation Establishment cultivator.

This is simply unbelievable.

Because of the power of Daoist soldiers, they began to become popular.

But soon people discovered that training Dao soldiers was simply burning through money.

The resources required to train a large army of Dao soldiers are numerous, and only major sects can afford to do so.

As the methods for training Dao soldiers were perfected, this situation became even more serious.

Training only one type of Dao soldier will not allow them to unleash their full potential.

Therefore, Dao weapons became the exclusive domain of those major sects.

At this moment, the Golden Wing King took the Jade Slip and looked at it. The next moment, he exclaimed in surprise.

"Isn't this how the Holy Domain trains its disciples?"

Li Yunjing looked at the Golden Wing King curiously. "Oh? Your Primordial Beginning Dao Realm also has methods for training Dao soldiers?"

"I don't know what Dao soldiers are, but the Holy Domain definitely possesses this method, and it is never passed on to outsiders."

"For example, the Holy Temple Iron Cavalry was trained by the Holy Domain using this method," said the Golden Wing King.

Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing pondered for a moment and then made a guess.

It is estimated that the three Dao Lords of the Holy Domain created their own training method for Dao Soldiers, but this training method is not yet perfect.

After all, the Principle the Primordial Beginning Dao Realm are flawed, and perfecting them is not so easy.

Tianyuan is different; its complete Principle has brought Tianyuan's Dao soldier training methods to their fullest potential.

Nowadays, any training method for Dao soldiers that you pick out at random is top-notch!
