Immortal Starry Sky-Chapter 145 - 141 New Recruit

The mission has been issued, and the disciple must leave Cyan Yang Hall within two days to carry it out.

For the disciples of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, the time spent there is extremely precious. Here, they can observe the Will Monument, use White Jade to exchange for the secret techniques they desire, acquire powerful war soldiers suitable for themselves, and rapidly enhance their strength.

Moreover, the most crucial aspects are the Heaven-Reaching Tower and their fellow brothers and sisters.

Having gained insight and made progress, disciples naturally want to spar with others, face strong opponents, and see how much their strength has truly improved.

Yet, in the cosmos, the weak are too weak, and the strong are too strong. It is difficult to find an opponent who is truly equal in strength for a fair contest.

However, every disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion is a prodigy, a genius. Sparring with them not only allows one to clearly see their own strength but also greatly satisfies their sense of achievement.

The disciples hope for this, but the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion cannot harm them.

Only fighting, cultivating, constantly pondering and researching... the path one takes may only lead to becoming a cosmic martial artist without experience or vision.

When faced with a real crisis that cannot be solved by strength alone, such individuals quickly lose their ability to think and become disheartened.

On the contrary, those who roam the cosmos daily, experiencing life and death extremes, though their strength may not be great, possess an extremely rich wealth of adventure experience, with countless survival techniques, making them better suited for cosmic exploration than those disciples who only know cultivation.

Wang Xu sighed helplessly. He brought nothing with him, so naturally, there was nothing worth taking away. Alone, he bid farewell to several friendly senior brothers and left the Heaven-Reaching Sacred Cosmos.

......

The border war between the Tai Long Cosmic Country and the Wind Forest Cosmic Country took place in the "Half-Steep Star Domain."

The Half-Steep Star Domain is located on the border area of both, millions of years ago, it originally belonged to the Wind Forest Cosmic Country. Tai Long Cosmic Country launched the "Domain Seizure War," and in less than three thousand years, it annexed the Half-Steep Star Domain as part of its territory.

At that time, the Wind Forest Cosmic Country was beset by enemies on all sides, its national strength weakened, the strong who safeguarded the cosmic country dwindled, and it was on the brink of collapse. As star domains were seized by surrounding cosmic countries, the whole nation faced a catastrophic crisis.

However, at the last moment, a Celestial God Realm powerhouse from Wind Forest Cosmic Country rose with a thunderous impact, advancing further in realm level, completely reversing the tide of the battle.

This super strongman, with his own strength, subdued all directions. His formidable power forced the surrounding cosmic countries to abandon their wars against the Wind Forest Cosmic Country.

After millions of years of recovery, under the leadership of this super strongman, the Wind Forest Cosmic Country resurged and leaped to stand alongside Tai Long Cosmic Country as a "Great Cosmic Country." freёnovelkiss-com

It is well known that in the vast cosmos, there are countless cosmic countries.

Ordinary cosmic countries have Celestial God Realm strongmen holding them down, barely existing in remote areas; these are termed "Small Cosmic Countries."

Cosmic countries with entities surpassing the Celestial God Realm seated within them have the strength of a "Great Cosmic Country."

Above them lies the mysterious and terrifyingly powerful "Super Cosmic Country," also known as the "Invincible Cosmic Country" or the "Strongest Cosmic Country."

Above them, it is said there is an even more formidable existence, cosmic countries of such caliber, with White Hole Level being’s akin to ordinary citizens, are forefronts of strength, known as the "Immortal Cosmic Country."

Immortal, what sort of power permits one to be called immortal... The sheer strength of the Immortal Cosmic Country has far exceeded Wang Xu’s imagination.

......

Half-Steep Star Domain, Tai Long Cosmic Country Ministry of War.

"Marshal!" A loud call came, and inside the room, a middle-aged man dressed in purple Imperial Armor, with a heroic and imposing demeanor, wore a look of worry, his brows furrowed deeply, "Enter."

A silver-armored soldier stepped in, kneeling on one knee, and said, "Marshal, information from the void level battlefield has arrived."

"Speak." The purple-armored middle-aged man’s expression was stern.

"Our side sustained 3,601 deaths, 56,942 seriously injured and unable to fight, 526 desertions without authorization, and 365 missing in battle..." Listening to the silver-armored soldier report information from the void level battlefield, the purple-armored middle-aged man’s face grew increasingly grim.

He had already realized that this war was likely soon to end in defeat.

The Mixed Universe Realm battlefield suffered continuous defeats, the White Hole Level battlefield was locked in a stalemate, and the Black Hole Level battlefield was completely one-sided in defeat, with the only hope resting on the void level battlefield, which had suffered heavy losses... all information pointed to one word: "defeat."

This domain seizure war had lasted only three hundred years, originally in a stalemate, back and forth, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.

However, only recently did Tai Long suddenly discover that the opponents had enlisted genius strongmen from the Cosmic Alliance and the Mercenary Martial Arts Hall, completely overwhelming them, forcing immediate request for aid from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion that shields the Tai Long Cosmic Country.

The Heaven-Reaching Pavilion did send several Black Hole Level figures, and the purple-armored middle-aged man acknowledged they were indeed strong enough. Yet, to his surprise, the opposing genius strongmen were stronger than the disciples from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion!

Helpless, Tai Long Cosmic Country could only brace itself and continue requesting further support from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

"Is there any news from the disciples sent by the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion?" The purple-armored middle-aged man inquired. It had been half a month since the request for assistance was sent to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, enough time for its strongmen to have arrived at the border battlefield.

"No news at all." The Silver Armor soldier said.

The middle-aged man in Purple Armor sighed and waved his hand: "Continue the reconnaissance, report back immediately if there is any news, you may go now."

"Yes." The Silver Armor soldier responded and left.

The middle-aged man in Purple Armor no longer held much hope for assistance from the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion.

He knew that the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion sheltered many Cosmic countries, and Great Cosmic Countries like Tai Long were countless. Tai Long Cosmic Country needed the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion’s protection, but the Pavilion might not necessarily care about them.

To the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, Tai Long Cosmic Country was just one of the many Cosmic countries offering tributes annually in hopes of protection. Even if Tai Long stopped paying tribute and severed ties, the Pavilion would not suffer any loss, while Tai Long Cosmic Country would be the one facing dire consequences.

Without the protection of a powerful force, Tai Long’s position would become exceedingly difficult amidst neighboring Cosmic countries ready to pounce.

Therefore, the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion assigned Wang Xu, a Void Level, a disciple destined to be abandoned, to participate in this border war.

......

Hum~

On an edge star in the Half-Steep Star Domain, the teleportation array lit up with a misty white glow, and the silhouette of a massive warship emerged, with a White Lana blooming at its bottom—this was the Bailan.

Traveling from Tai Long Cosmic Country to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion took Wang Xu half a year, but returning from the Pavilion to Tai Long Cosmic Country took only half a month.

This is the experience gained from adventures in the Cosmos.

Wang Xu walked out from the Bailan; this star was the temporary main star of the Half-Steep Star Domain. The true Semi-Steep Main Star had been occupied by the Wind Forest Cosmic Country. If the war failed again, Tai Long Cosmic Country would withdraw from the Half-Steep Star Domain and completely abandon it.

Wang Xu didn’t immediately reveal his identity as a disciple of the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. He was there to carry out an assigned task, not to recklessly risk his life.

In Qing Zhang’s assignment, there were no stipulations on how long he needed to stay on the border battlefield, nor under what conditions he could return to the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion. But after consulting senior brothers who had participated in border wars, Wang Xu learned that staying on the border battlefield for only one year, participating in one war, and obtaining confirmation from the Marshal of the Cosmic Nation would allow him to return to the Pavilion.

This bit of news, amidst the many bad news, was the only thing that made Wang Xu happy. At least the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion had not completely abandoned him; otherwise, they could easily set a term of a thousand or ten thousand years, and Wang Xu would be left wandering the Cosmos, eventually forgotten by the Pavilion.

Walking through bustling streets and crowded markets, Wang Xu arrived at the recruitment center of the border battlefield.

Though this edge star was only a temporary main star, it could not hold back the business trade of Cosmic people. Instead, countless Cosmic Martial Artists arrived each day, eager to join the border war and seek opportunities on the battlefield.

"Wow, so many people." Wang Xu glanced at the orderly long line at the recruitment center and couldn’t help but exclaim.

The border battlefield, though dangerous, was ripe with opportunities, and since Tai Long Cosmic Country was nearing defeat, it had increased the rewards for new recruits, planning to fight back fiercely. However, it kept mum about the dire situation, continuously promising various benefits to new recruits, encouraging them to fight valiantly.

This led to many Cosmic Martial Artists rushing to the border battlefield, shouting "sacrifice for the Nation," unaware they were truly sacrificing for it.

"Next." The recruitment was overseen by a Black Hole Level Silver Armor soldier, whose not-so-loud voice was clearly heard by Cosmic Martial Artists within a ten-mile radius.

It was Wang Xu’s turn, and he stepped forward.

"Name."

"Wang Xu."

"Where are you from?"

"Fallen Dragon Star Domain."

"Shed your blood."

With just a few questions, the responsible Silver Armor soldier manifested a palm-sized Iron Token and handed it to Wang Xu. After dripping his blood on it, a green light flashed in the soldier’s hand, and the token was handed back to Wang Xu.

The Iron Token in Wang Xu’s hand emitted a faint green glow.

"Next."

Wang Xu walked out of the crowd, emulating the soldiers ahead by hanging the Green Iron Token on his chest.

This Green Iron Token signified a soldier’s identity, symbolizing a faction. In the chaos of thousands battling, how could one discern who was who? Only by wearing this Green Iron Token could one clearly identify their identity; otherwise, they might be inadvertently killed by an ally before even making a move.

Of course, to prevent the opposing forces from deliberately wearing an enemy Iron Token, every new soldier had to drip their blood, creating a form of ownership. The token only glows green in the rightful owner’s hand; otherwise, it is indistinguishable from a regular token.

"Three minutes until departure, new soldiers, please board the warship quickly!" In the distance, a cosmic battleship much larger than the Bailan hovered in the air, a Black Hole Level Silver Armor soldier loudly announcing it, as new recruits filed onto the warship.

Wang Xu soared into the air and entered the cosmic battleship.
