59: On the eve of the war

[After the Soul Searching ended, you gave a gentle squeeze with your hand, directly snapping Dai Tianhu's neck.]

[Then, with a strike of your palm, his body was instantly pulverized, completely dissipating between the heavens and the earth.]

["Dai Tianxiao, is it? A bit interesting..."]

[You handed the Immortal Executing Sword Scripture obtained from the Soul Searching to Mu Ningshuang, and told her to return to Burial Immortal Mountain to Cultivate.]

[As for you, you headed to Great Abyss and joined the Dynasty Alliance.]

[The 130th year.]

[Relying on your Nascent Soul Peak Realm, you successfully joined the Dynasty Alliance.]

[Furthermore, due to your extraordinary combat power, you became a small squad leader, responsible for leading a group of Golden Core and Nascent Soul Cultivators to raid the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[You followed orders faithfully.]

[This year, you wiped out several small Families and small Sects of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, and your strength improved to a certain extent.]

[However, due to the lack of Medicinal Pill assistance, you decided to wait until your Cultivation was more solid before attempting a Breakthrough.]

[The 146th year.]

[The squad you led burned, killed, and looted in the outer regions of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, committing all sorts of crimes, and you soon gained the attention of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[They sent a large number of experts to surround and annihilate you, but you neutralized them one by one.]

[During the encirclement, you even counter-killed several Soul Transformation Cultivators.]

[For a time, your name resounded throughout the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[Even the infants of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty dared not cry upon hearing your name.]

[The 150th year.]

[Having accumulated strength for a long time, you began to attempt a Breakthrough.]

[This time, you were fully prepared.]

[Because Heaven Rewards Diligence and the Power of Leadership had already accumulated too much power for you.]

[As expected, your Breakthrough was successful.]

[You became a Soul Transformation powerhouse.]

[From then on, you gained a Lifespan of three thousand years, able to sit back and watch the rise and fall of many factions.]

[At the same time, you did not slack off.]

[You continued to tirelessly ambush and kill Cultivators of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[Although these people had low Cultivation and provided little help to you.]

[But even a mosquito is meat, and every bit of improvement counts.]

[The 153rd year.]

[Your actions received commendation from the Dynasty Alliance.]

[They granted you a large amount of cultivation resources.]

[They publicly commended your actions.]

[And promoted your position.]

[You became a large squad leader in the Dynasty Alliance.]

[You did not slacken in the slightest.]

[Because you knew that in twenty-three years, the Boundless Immortal Dynasty would be destroyed.]

[And the final battle between the two sides should occur five to ten years before that.]

[During this time, you had to crazily improve your Cultivation.]

[The 168th year.]

[Your Cultivation successfully reached the second layer of the Soul Transformation Realm.]

[Furthermore, relying on the merits you had accumulated, you exchanged for two Divine Abilities in the Dynasty Alliance.]

[One was named Great Sun Wisdom King Body.]

[It was a Divine Ability of the Body Refining path.]

[It was extremely suitable for your cultivation.]

[It took you five months to master the basics.]

[This Divine Ability was extremely rigid and masculine; after using it, your Physical Body would be greatly enhanced and become impenetrable.]

[The other one was named Flying Heaven Crossing.]

[This was an extremely rare movement Divine Ability.]

[It was also the only movement Divine Ability provided by the Dynasty Alliance.]

[However, the only use of this Divine Ability was for traveling or escaping.]

[It was almost of no help in combat.]

[Because when this Divine Ability was activated, a layer of peculiar Spiritual Qi would attach to your body.]

[But once this layer of Spiritual Qi was touched, the technique would immediately break.]

[It could be said to be very useless.]

[On the battlefield, it had almost no effect.]

[But for you, it was completely different.]

[You could use it to quickly utilize the Immortal Refining Demon Scripture to absorb Cultivation that had not yet dissipated.]

[You spent seven months mastering this Divine Ability.]

[Your Flying Heaven Crossing successfully reached the Major Achievement Realm.]

[The 173rd year.]

[The final battle began.]

[This timing was much later than you had calculated.]

[You were assigned under the Great Abyss Dynasty's Great General, Wei Zhan, to penetrate deep into the Boundless Immortal Dynasty and strike at the heart.]

[You immediately realized something was wrong.]

[Not to mention that Great General Wei Zhan was only a Void Tempering Cultivator, without the ability or the capability to strike at the heart.]

[Just looking at the soldiers under his command, besides you, there were only two Soul Transformation Cultivators.]

[With this lineup, I'm afraid you couldn't even capture a single city, right?]

[However, even realizing something was wrong, you didn't dare to speak up and had to follow Wei Zhan to the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[A few days later, after infiltrating the Boundless Immortal Dynasty, you finally dared to ask Wei Zhan the true purpose of this trip.]

[His answer was within your expectations.]

[It turned out that your squad was purely a suicide mission.]

[The purpose was also very simple: to attract the attention of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty.]

[Because in this squad, from the Great General Wei Zhan down to the most ordinary soldier, everyone was a person on the Boundless Immortal Dynasty's wanted list.]

[All Cultivators of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty wanted to torture and kill you.]

[You felt speechless, and then asked Great General Wei Zhan why he would obey the Dynasty Alliance's order to go to his death?]

[He sighed gently and said: "Do you think I want this? But if I don't do this, everyone in the Wei Family will be implicated by me, even if my sister is the Empress!"]

["Now, dying heroically can still leave a good reputation, but if I am forced to die, I will only be disgraced for ten thousand years."]

[Wei Zhan shook his head, then told you all that with him here today, no one could escape; everyone had to die together.]

[You cursed inwardly, but still spoke: "Great General, you have already reached the Peak of the Void Tempering Realm, only one step away from being a Tribulation Transcendence cultivator. At that time, you will gain a Lifespan of five thousand years, and each Lightning Tribulation passed adds another five thousand years of Lifespan. Passing all nine tribulations means fifty thousand years of time. How can you be willing to fall here?"]

[Hearing this, a trace of regret flashed in Wei Zhan's eyes. To be honest, how could he be willing?]

[But this choice for luring the enemy was none other than him, and only he could attract the attention of the Boundless Immortal Dynasty's Tribulation Transcendence cultivators.]

[Seeing Wei Zhan somewhat moved, you spoke again: "Great General, wake up! We are but mere small Cultivators, and our current Realm is our limit. But you have a bright future, at the very least, you are someone who can establish a Sect and become an ancestor."]

["But our Wei Family..."]

["The Wei Family? Hmph... Once you break into the Tribulation Transcendence Realm, you can just build another one. Five thousand years of time, who knows how many Wei families can be built, and you... will be the ancestor of the Wei Family!"]

["That's right, Great General!"]

["Great General, your talent is unparalleled, you absolutely must not die here with us..."]

[The others in the squad saw that Wei Zhan was hesitant, and they all began to persuade him.]

[After all, most of them were Loose Cultivators who joined the Dynasty Alliance for cultivation resources, not to throw their lives away for him.]
