241: Reinforcements are on their way

Seeing the blood pool gradually turn clear, Su Ling stood up, his body instantly drying as his magic power surged.

He casually picked up his Sect's Azure Wave Robe and put it on, chuckling, "If we want to keep soaking, we'll have to earn more merit points."

"That's for sure!"

Lu Tao grinned and leaped out of the blood pool.

He stood naked by the pool's edge, admiring his robust body, which shimmered with a faint golden light.

“Damn, my eyes!”

Su Ling quickly covered his eyes and walked out, looking like he couldn't stand the sight.

Lu Tao looked at himself and said speechlessly, "It's not the first time you've seen it, what are you so disgusted for?"

Su Ling didn't look back, but silently held out a stone in his palm.

"Oh! No, no, no, I was wrong, I was wrong!"

Seeing that Recording Stone, Lu Tao's face fell, and he hurriedly apologized while scrambling to put on his clothes.

Watching Su Ling walk away, he muttered, "I just flashed my 'sword' for a second, and you go straight for an ultimate move... That's too much!"

"Get lost!"

Su Ling snapped his head back and barked, "Can you have some shame? I don't want to go 'fencing' with you!"

"Fencing... what does that mean?"

Lu Tao froze for a moment then chased after him, "You're always saying these weird words, you should at least explain them!"

After being together for so many years, he had truly learned some strange vocabulary and catchphrases from Su Ling.

They sounded quite odd at first.

But once he understood the meaning, well, they were actually quite interesting.

Su Ling was speechless and walked away quickly.

He really didn't want to waste his breath on this blockhead.

At this moment, Su Ling missed Murong Yue terribly... If she were here, Lu Tao probably wouldn't be so... unbridled, right?

"Come on, let's go to the Command Post and ask if Senior Brother Song and the others have arrived."

Leaving the Immortal Cave, Su Ling wasted no words. He grabbed Lu Tao's shoulder and steered the low-grade spirit tool Gale Thunder Boat he'd bought recently, flying toward the Command Post ten thousand miles away.

The so-called Command Post was actually a massive immortal ship.

Situated among the mountains, it remotely commanded the war efforts across hundreds of thousands of miles.

Besides this one, there were several other such Command Posts across the plane.

All of them were under the unified command of the main ship outside the plane.

Standing at the bow of the thunder boat, Su Ling looked up toward the outside of the plane. The gap in the world membrane remained, now stabilized with a Formation by the Wuyun Sect True Immortals.

But his Revered Master Clear Ripple's figure had long since disappeared.

As her Personal Disciple, Su Ling naturally received some information regarding the entire battlefield.

With over twenty planes in the Malori Star System, the Canglang Seven Sects certainly couldn't swallow them all at once with their strength.

But that didn't stop them from using Star-Sealing Formations to blockade the other planes.

They would then consume them one by one.

The Savage Beast Plane and the four other planes that were attacked first were located on the outskirts of the star system and had no Savage God-level experts presiding over them.

As for the planes and planets with Savage Gods, the Golden Immortals of the Seven Sects would take action, setting up Star-Sealing Formations with the assistance of the Wuyun Sect True Immortals.

They trapped those Savage God-level experts inside, preventing them from escaping.

What the Canglang Seven Sects wanted wasn't just the resources of these twenty-odd planes.

They also wanted the hundreds of millions of native Demonic Beasts and experts within them.

These savage orcs and Demonic Beasts were all high-quality War Slaves.

In particular, the five Savage Gods and two Beast Gods were the primary targets of this campaign.

The reason for this was that the campaign launched by the Qinghua Immortal Court affected multiple Star Domains.

It was foreseeable that this war would last for at least several hundred or even a thousand years.

It might even trigger intervention from the Magic Civilization.

The more War Slaves they had, the fewer casualties the Immortal Domain Cultivators would suffer.

To ensure his own combat strength remained intact, Su Ling had even withdrawn the wisp of Divine Soul attached to Sean.

He had instead signed a Master-Servant Summoning Contract with him, allowing Su Ling to summon him across the void.

However, given Sean's weak body, if he wanted to traverse time and space, Su Ling had to provide a large amount of Spirit Stones for his protection.

A single summoning would cost roughly ten million Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

If it was just a remote conversation, the Spirit Stone consumption would drop to the million level.

Sean's current strength had reached the level of a High Archmage.

Decades ago, he successfully joined the Death Annihilation Magic Tower and became an Elementary tutor in alchemy.

But Minghui Star was located in a remote area of the Magic Civilization's Star Domain, and with Sean's low strength, he couldn't access any information about the Magic Civilization's movements.

Otherwise, Su Ling would have liked to scout out the enemy's reaction.

The thunder boat reached the Command Post and landed on the immortal ship's deck.

Lu Tao was a bit hesitant and didn't really want to go inside.

Su Ling shook his head and could only leave him standing alone on the massive deck.

The reason for this was mainly because the commander of this war zone was none other than True Lord Lu Feng, Ye Feibai.

Entering the interior of the immortal ship, the space inside was exceptionally vast.

"Senior Brother Ye."

Su Ling walked for a long time before finding Ye Feibai in the war command room, who was frowning at a projection of a certain region.

"Junior Brother Su."

Ye Feibai turned around, his cold lips curling into a slight smile.

Su Ling stepped forward and cupped his hands to the various Body Integration Senior Brothers. "Senior Brother Ye, I heard earlier that reinforcements would be arriving soon. I wonder..."

Ye Feibai immediately understood Su Ling's purpose for coming and said without hesitation, "At most half a year, and the reinforcements will arrive. Don't worry, once Martial Nephew Song and the others arrive, I will arrange for them to be with you."

Su Ling's group was merely the vanguard.

Conquering so many planes was for resources, not destruction.

Having a large number of top-tier experts alone wasn't enough to control everything.

Low-level combatants and administrators were indispensable.

Therefore, a few years after the vanguard set out, the subsequent reinforcements were dispatched.

Disciples like Song Moting, Luo Xuanxiao, and Qi Yunling, who were originally performing missions in the Jinhun Realm,

were mostly in the second wave of reinforcements.

Not only that, but the Canglang Seven Sects were also recruiting a large number of Loose Cultivators by offering attractive terms at their base.

One could say that this planar conquest was entirely due to Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple using her connections to allow the Seven Sects to participate in this feast.

Furthermore, the targets assigned were a choice piece of meat for the Seven Sects.

If they had followed the Qingxuan Dao Sect of the Yi Xian Star Domain into battle, their freedom would have been severely restricted.

The difference between effort and reward would be several-fold.

In view of this, the Six Sects had already tacitly agreed to attribute the greatest credit to the Bitao Sect.

Most of the True Immortals responsible for war zone command in the various planes belonged to the Bitao Sect.

As a Disciple of Immortal Venerable Clear Ripple, everyone took it for granted that Ye Feibai would look after him.

In fact, they were eager to push the most outstanding Disciples of the same rank from their own Sects under Su Ling's command.

However, they were all stopped by Ye Feibai.

Su Ling's combat strength was completely invincible among his peers.

With Lu Tao by his side, having more Disciples of the same type would be meaningless.

Instead, it would invisibly reduce his merit points significantly.

"Thank you, Junior Martial Uncle."

Su Ling smiled and cupped his hands, hesitating for a moment before asking, "I wonder where my Revered Master is now?"

"There is a plant demon in the Wildfire Molten Plant Plane that seems to have received a boost from the plane's Star Core, directly promoting it to a Peak Demon Immortal."

Ye Feibai didn't hide anything and said directly, "The True Immortals on the scene were having some trouble handling it, so Senior Martial Aunt Clear Ripple went to support them."

Unlike the Demon Immortals of the Immortal Domain, alien plant-type Demon Immortals cannot take human form, and their main bodies are very difficult to move.

However, when a Peak Demon Immortal is in its home plane environment, it can use its root system to draw power from the Star Core, exerting combat power comparable to a Golden Immortal.

Ordinary True Immortals really find them difficult to deal with.
