Chapter 1238: Request for Orders!

Xu Qing and the others held the decree tokens in their hands. After handing over their Origin Substances, they left the vast red star and gradually disappeared into space.

As they left, the giant red star was still spewing clouds and emitting extreme light.

Within the light, within the Red Star, within the ancient, pitch-black hall, a voice filled with emotion reverberated.

"I never thought that there would really be soldiers who crossed the river. Moreover, they are ascenders. When I look at them again, I suddenly feel that it is not too surprising that they were able to reach this place.

"I just don't know if there will be a cultivator among them who has a chance to fight for the Dao Seed. Or perhaps … they are all just fakes."

"Just like us, aren't we all the same? Aside from the General, which one of us isn't an ascender? Which one of us isn't on our way?"

"It has been a long time since the decree of the Immortal Venerable. There have been many Immortal like us, but up until now, there hasn't been an Immortal Lord."

Although there were no sighs in the hall, every sentence was filled with sighs.

His words lingered on, causing the immortals to gradually fall silent.

After a long while, the General's hoarse voice slowly echoed.

"It's easy to start a business, but hard to keep it."

"This is the case for mortals, the human world, and for cultivators, the fifth star ring is the same."

When his voice entered the immortal senses of the crowd, it became a huge wave.

The Immortals here naturally understood this principle. In fact, with their knowledge and experience, they knew that the latter could not be described as simple.

In the past, the fifth star ring had been controlled by Gods. It was the place where the Immortal Venerable had risen from the most difficult of times to lead the humans of the lesser worlds on the path of cultivation and the Dao of Immortals.

Step by step, he had experienced untold hardships, walked through countless calamities, slaughtered his way out of the small world, and slaughtered his way to the gods.

In the end, he destroyed the God Venerable, pawned the God Lords, cut off all the God Roots, enslaved countless Gods and divided the entire fifth star ring into the Twelve Heavens Beyond Heaven.

Then, he filled in the center and established the Immortal Capital.

Only in this way could the fifth of the Upper Thirty-Six Rings truly become the Origin Land of Cultivators and the Human Race!

Such a foundation could not be described as easy. It could be said to be extremely difficult!

Therefore, it was extremely difficult to protect this foundation and pass on this foundation. It could not be more difficult than that!

Especially since … Immortal Lord Aurora, who was supposed to become the second Immortal Venerable, had already died.

As a result, the future of the fifth star ring seemed uncertain.

After all, apart from a few special star rings, all the other star rings outside the fifth star ring were inhabited by gods. As a result, the fifth star ring, which seemed to be blooming with flowers and brocade, was actually showing signs of decline after reaching its peak.

If they wanted to resolve the problem, they would need a second Immortal Venerable from the fifth star ring!

In order for a Immortal Venerable to appear, many Immortal Lords had to appear first. Thus … there had been many years of training for Ascenders!

Using harsh methods, they nurtured cultivators who could ascend from Immortal Capital. Then, like raising Gu, whether it was fate or karma, in short, those who died prematurely were all fake children.

Only by surviving and walking forward could one obtain the Dao Seed!

As for ideals, those who could walk to the end would definitely be like-minded people!

"I hope that day comes quickly. It doesn't matter which generation, as long as you're a human, as long as you're a cultivator."

Time slowly passed as Xu Qing and the others remained at the front line of the left wing.

In a flash, three months had passed.

During these three months, Xu Qing and the others had no way of knowing the specific situation of the left and central battle zones, which were the meat grinders and had to shine with the red light that illuminated the battlefield.

However, from the changes and pressure in the left frontline where they were located in the past three months, one could more or less see a thing or two.

The Central Theater of Operations should have reached the most critical moment.

This was because at the left frontline, the frequency of the legions being mobilized was becoming lesser and lesser.

"This means that the layout is almost complete."

"At the same time, I've also found out that in the direction of the fourth star ring, there are more and more small-scale battles with gods on the frontlines."

"Come to think of it, our mission is coming soon. This is the information I've gathered during this time."

At this moment, on Spirit Substitute Planet, Xu Qing and the others were sitting cross-legged around a fire pit on a snowy mountain filled with immortal spiritual energy.

Snowflakes continued to fall from the sky, falling slowly like Zhou Zhengli's voice.

At the same time, it brought coldness to the earth.

Only around the fire pit, when the snowflakes fell, they dissipated, turning into rising mist that lingered in all directions.

Around them were endless snowy mountains. If one were to look at the entire planet, they would discover that the entire planet was covered in snowy mountains.

There were many of them.

On top of each snow mountain, there was a fire pit burning with red flames.

Within the fire pit, the flames flickered, emitting heat that seemed to contain some sort of mystery.

This mysterious power could heal a cultivator's injuries.

As for Xu Qing and the others, they had already rested on this planet for three months. Their cultivation bases and injuries had long been healed by this mysterious fire pit.

Therefore, except for the first month when they didn't leave the snow mountain, they mostly spread out and set a fixed time to come back.

Today was the third time they had returned.

As soon as Zhou Zhengli finished speaking, Li Mengtu also spoke.

"The direction I've investigated is different from Zhou Zhengli's. I've focused on whether anyone else has arrived in the central battle zone. In the past three months, there hasn't been anyone."

Li Mengtu knew that he wasn't good at scouting, so he chose the simplest path.

After he finished speaking, he looked at the others around him.

Every time they returned, they had to gather all the information they had gathered. This was the plan they had set when they first parted ways.

This method would allow them to understand the situation at the front line faster.

As a result, Yuanshan Su, Xie Lingzi, Qian Jun and Pi Yi, and the other ascenders all opened their mouths one after another, speaking of the information they obtained from the directions they had scouted.

The one who finally spoke was Xing Huanzi.

He looked at Xu Qing.

"The last time we returned, I have a better understanding of the people you asked me to pay attention to."

Xu Qing looked at Xing Huanzi.

In these three months, he naturally went out a few times and relied on his own methods to understand the left front line. During this investigation, he happened to see a group of somewhat special military cultivators.

In some ways, they were similar to the Resource Division. They were secretive and rarely came into contact with others. They were also extremely xenophobic.

Therefore, Xu Qing did not have too much contact with them. However, he had some guesses in his heart. Therefore, when he gathered the information last time, he recalled it and informed everyone, telling them to pay more attention if they encountered them.

"That group of people is an auxiliary legion. They are divided into 50 small teams, and they are active in every battle with the gods."

"They are known as the … Corpse Looting Army!"

"Their mission, simply put, is to clean up the battlefield and extract the remaining Origin Substance from the corpses of the dead gods, as well as pick up anything of value.

"Thus, our side can be self-sufficient to a certain extent."

"The more wars there are, the more active they are. Especially in the past month, as the frequency of small-scale battles between the frontline and the fourth star ring has increased, almost all of them have been concentrated there."

With that, Xing Huanzi looked calmly at Xu Qing.

"Then why did you ask us to pay attention to these people?"

Xu Qing thought for a moment and swept his gaze across the dozen or so people around him. After experiencing so many things, he was very familiar with each and every one of them.

Thus, after a long while, Xu Qing spoke softly.

"After we handed over the Origin Substances, we were arranged to rest and reorganize here. It has already been three months."

"During this time, the general didn't make any arrangements …"

"That's why I'm thinking that instead of waiting for the General to make arrangements, why don't we find a suitable job ourselves … and take the initiative to apply?"

After saying that, Xu Qing turned to look at the people around him.

"I'm running out of Origin Substances that I need for cultivation. You guys should have used up most of them as well, right?"

"If I don't replenish my energy, it will affect my cultivation speed."

As soon as Xu Qing spoke, Xing Huanzi's eyes lit up. Zhou Zhengli smiled faintly. Xie Lingzi licked his lips. The two brothers, Qian Jun Piyi, also hummed softly with their swords.

Even the normally reticent Yuanshan Su also revealed a strange light in his eyes.

It was the same for the other Ascendants. A strong murderous aura rose from their bodies, causing the snowflakes falling from the sky to slowly turn black.

Li Mengtu said directly.

"I've been wanting to do it for a long time!"

These straightforward words seemed to speak the thoughts in everyone's heart. Thus, the gazes of the pack of wolves all landed on Xu Qing.

Each and every one of them had fought their way out of the Immortal Capital and had experienced so much. They had long since become bloodthirsty fiends. Their personalities, in particular, did not lack arrogance.

Therefore, during these three months, each of them could not hold themselves back.

Hearing Xu Qing's words at this moment, his heart naturally burned with passion.

Xu Qing looked at them and nodded slightly. He did not waste any more time and stood up. With a solemn expression, he took out the token that the Lord General had given him.

After holding it in his hand, his immortal embryo shone brightly, forming a majestic immortal sense that fused into it.

It turned into a Dao sound and shook the token.

"Xu Qing of the Token and Transport Team, requesting the Commander!"

"Our team has finished resting and reorganizing. Our injuries have healed and we are in good condition. Seeing our comrades on the frontlines, we are encouraged and our blood is boiling. We would like to ask for orders …"

"I'm willing to go to the frontlines and search for corpses. I'll … continue to gather Origin Substance for my army!"

As Xu Qing transmitted his immortal sense, the others also stood up and waited solemnly.

However, there was no reaction from the medallion. It was like Xu Qing's immortal sense was like a stone ox entering the sea. However, everyone, including Xu Qing, was extremely patient and continued to wait.

After an entire hour had passed ….

The medallion in Xu Qing's hand suddenly trembled as a red light erupted from it. At the same time, a vast strand of immortal sense gushed out from the medallion.

"Approved!"

With this thought, Xu Qing immediately shouted.

"Yes, Lord General!"

The group of people behind him also spoke at the same time, fusing together with Xu Qing's voice. In the wind and snow, in the red light, a majestic aura soared into the sky.

It was like the morning sun!
