Chapter 2340: Joining the Great Undertaking

Random recommendation:

The human race and the sea race gaze at the same ancient heaven road. Both the near sea and the vast sea connect to the ancient heaven road. Only the Misty Realm is within the shadow of the ancient heaven road; it can neither touch this heaven road nor see what is happening on the heaven road. When news shaking the myriad heavens is transmitted into this realm from the near sea and the vast sea, the various realms in the Misty Realm are all shocked!

But regardless of whether it's Heaven Pure Country or East Sea Dragon Palace, both are separated from the ancient heaven road by a boundary, both are considered trapped in a cage. It is difficult to immediately exert influence on this, and they dare not move lightly—after all, whether it is Lie Mountain Human Emperor’s ideal country, the long-standing inheritance of Dragon Palace, or the Cangwu Sword and Shaba Dragon Staff, all are crucially important existences. They are extremely cautious in their confrontation, fearing to make a wrong move.

After all, one move from the Cangwu Sword chopped the ancient heaven road towards the vast sea. Neither side is an easy opponent.

On the side of the near sea archipelago, in front of Tianya Platform, Lou Yue is manipulating the strange beasts of the Nine Sons bloodline, remotely controlling the changes in several places including Xu San, Pei Hongjiu, and Wang Kun, controlling the entire sacrifice process. To carry soil and pave stones for the ancient heaven road is Ji Fengzhou’s vanguard with an imperial brush.

At a certain moment, he suddenly turned his body and gazed into the distance—

Only to see one huge warship with a ferocious appearance, baring fangs and brandishing claws, like a steel fortress externally displaying war weapons, rumbling and sailing out of the mist.

The mist is not heaven and earth; it is self-claimed, like the flag of this giant ship, following the ship as it goes, with the wind swelling the sails.

This is the ship currently carrying the Summer Corpse Commander Qi Wen. Its name is "Disaster Calamity"!

Closely following this giant ship are warships of various forms extending behind it. Breaking Law Warship, Forbidding Law Warship, Crashing Mountain Warship, Dividing Sea Warship… categorized separately, gathered into one war overall. Equipment-excellent warriors are shouting slogans, mixed into the roar of this fleet.

Decisive Island has controlled the sea for years, and Qi Country's shipbuilding can be said to be the world's foremost.

Jing Country has gazed at the long river, but the long river has been peaceful for too long after all. Although the long river navy is strong, it is ultimately self-entertaining behind closed doors. How can it compare to the East Sea navy, which has been battling for many years without rest?

One can see how complete the claws and fangs of this fleet are, like a giant beast overall. Head and tail connected in a line, under the flagship's lead, like an evil dragon in the sky, shaking its head and wagging its tail, sailing towards the ancient heaven road.

It is also like a road winding from the sea surface to the sky.

The road in the sky is a space-time bridge.

The road on the sea is human ships sailing.

The Summer Corpse army stationed on Decisive Island, the nine elite troops of Qi Country who slaughter the sea race at the forefront year-round, have now pulled out of camp!

No person, no force, can lightly despise the existence of this army.

Lou Yue looked towards Cao All on Tianya Platform, who had changed from casual clothes to armor: "Duke! What is the intent of the Qi people?"

Ye Hen Shui walked two steps closer, reached out to support the armor parts suspended in the air, and solemnly said to Cao All: "The country's great matters, only sacrifice and military; I, Ye, am responsible for the various islands and cannot go in person. Please allow me to put on the armor for the general!"

Cao All also did not feign modesty, opening his arms: "Then... I shall trouble Doctor Ye."

After answering Ye Hen Shui, he only responded to Lou Yue's question, but it seemed quite casual, like each was saying their own thing, not matching at all: "The Tian Fu army has already been dispatched and is on the way in the sea."

"But for the human race, the Qi people will not obstruct. Focus on the future, boldly contend—the Duke's bold words, the sound is still in my ears!" Lou Yue breathed gloomily, accumulating momentum to strike, directly gazing into his eyes: "Seeing my great Jing's grand plan, is this intolerable?"

The highest goal of the Jing Sea plan is for the Nine Sons to suppress the sea, making today's vast sea like the long river, making today's sea race like the water race, thus ending the sea trouble forever, and the human race can even add a strong aid in the Divine Firmament battlefield—this is of course remotely unattainable, but it truly makes people's hearts moved.

Whoever can complete this matter will establish a merit that will last for ten thousand ages.

Moreover, not to mention that Ji Fengzhou can rely on this to greatly advance and further approach the Six Directions Son of Heaven. Once this plan is completed, the people of Jing Country will directly occupy the vast sea, and the Misty Realm will no longer be a battlefield.

The Qi people saying "contend with them later"... that is not seeing the full picture of the Jing Sea plan. Wait until they see clearly and then they will know, when the Jing Sea plan is truly completed, where will there still be a need for contention? Where will there still be space for contention!

With Jing flags erected in the vast sea, the Qi Country people's many years of sea operations will all be directly locked dead in the near sea. And the Misty Realm will become a garden for Jing Country, with rare and strange things to be picked at will. The more extensive areas of the vast sea are all territories waiting for Jing Country to explore.

Therefore, if the Qi people now cannot tolerate it, risking breaking the existing order and the unspoken understanding among the human race, and forcibly stop the Jing Sea plan, although it is short-sighted, he can also understand.

Jing Country has also made plans! As the prime minister said, embrace the most beautiful imagination, and make the vilest plans.

It's nothing more than blocking the river and crossing it, nothing more than striving for time. Two-line warfare is not the only thing in Jing Country's history; three lines, four lines, and even eight directions of warfare, what harm is there! That truly difficult crevice is the best space for heroes to make their names.

Lou Yue is already prepared, to die here, or to step onto the peak of the strongest absolute category.

But he gazed at the Great Qi Duke, only saying to himself: "Summer Corpse is also a strong army in the world, using it in the vast sea is no harm."

"—Vast sea?" Lou Yue's momentum that was suddenly rising was like being cut off at the waist. The bamboo raft that relied on sheer courage to cross the sea is already fragmented. In front, the turbulent waves are still towering, but for a moment, he does not know whether to continue raising his head and moving forward, or to bow down and mend this broken raft.

Truly inexplicable.

Used in the vast sea?!

"Ah, what's wrong?" Cao All looked at Lou Yue with an expression of 'what are you being strange about': "Jing Country's emperor's ambition is to suppress the sea, and my great Qi empire also jointly supports this grand undertaking! Upon the general in front, Dou E is already in the past. It is also time for the human race to fill the sea. How can the Qi army not be dispatched? I, Cao, should also personally don armor! To save time and seize the opportunity, Tian Fu comes from the west, and Summer Corpse goes to the east. I will use two armies to replace the defense. Thus, Tian Fu is stationed at Decisive, and Summer Corpse conquers the vast sea. This time we contend to cross!"

Ye Hen Shui remained silent, his expression as relaxed as if he were about to attend another poetry gathering. With the Duke by his side, it was too reassuring. He patiently helped Cao All put on his armor and then tied on the last long cloak. He intentionally raised his hand and displayed it, like raising a flag.

Ancient heaven road, the Qi people are coming too!

This exchange put Lou Yue in a dilemma, and he remained silent there for a while.

It's neither good to obstruct nor to release.

The Jing people build the bridge, the Qi people cross the river. The Jing people scheme the plot, the Qi people divide the merit. Where in the world is there such a good thing?

But if they say they will hold the bridgehead and not let them cross… Jing Country speaks with voice and eyes on the human race for ten thousand generations, desiring to pacify the vast sea and eliminate sea trouble forever. How can they refuse the help of the Qi people outside the door? Could it be that the Qi Country war knife chopping down the sea race does not count?

Could it be that they want to be like the old matter of the Ten Thousand Demons Gate. Must they make Qi Country themselves blast out an opening and go to the demon realm to "dedicate" themselves?

Although Lou Yue was responsible for all affairs in the near sea this time and possessed extremely high on-site decision-making authority, in this situation, it was also not good to act rashly. He could only wait for the highest resolution of the Jing Court.

Just in this short wait, there was an instant of purple in the sky.

Noble extreme east.

A long cloak led the way across the horizon, and Cao All had already leaped onto that huge warship.

"General Cao!" Qi Wen knelt on the ground, presenting the tiger tally in his palm.

The head of the East Lai Qi family has a naturally smiling pair of eyes, a small round face, and a short nose. He is born very amiable, which makes it very difficult for people to take him seriously when he speaks and does things.

His physique is quite appropriate, neither fat nor thin, only his features are a bit round. Among the existing nine elite commanders, he is probably the one with the smallest fame, and his strength is far less than that of other members of the Ministry of Military Affairs.

But before Qi Xiao and the East Lai Qi family completely tore face, he was also a famous door prodigy for a while.

When Qi Xiao seized the Summer Corpse in his hand, he became obscure for a while, gradually unknown to people.

Even during Qi Xiao's extremely prosperous time, his son Qi Lianghua was also on the Qi Summer battlefield... The influence of the East Lai Qi family on the court political situation has always existed, although there have been ups and downs, it has never been cut off.

In these years commanding Decisive Island, he has also not lost the prestige of Qi Country.

Of course, with his current strength, it is absolutely impossible to lead troops in parallel with Yu Que. It is extremely easy to be humiliated and damage the country's dignity, and there is no ability to guard against accidents. Although he mobilized the troops to array here, that step of leading the army onto the ancient heaven path could only be completed by Cao All.

When Cao All boarded the ship, he immediately let go of the seal.

Looking around the Qi Country court, Duke Cao All is one of the few people who can say a few words to Qi Xiao. The former Spring Death commander and the former Summer Corpse commander can probably be considered good friends.

So, whether there is a connection or not, facing Cao All, Qi Wen inevitably has a kind of caution outside of official business.

However, since the East Lai Qi family re-seized power and Qi Wen succeeded in sealing the Summer Corpse, Cao All has not taken any suppressive actions, and his attitude towards the Qi family is also very normal. Moreover, regardless of whether he and Qi Xiao have a private friendship, he is a figure who holds the Ministry of Military Affairs and will absolutely not let private friendship disrupt official business.

At this moment, he only raised his hand to catch the tiger tally representing the authority of the Summer Corpse army and said: "I shall trouble you!"

Qi Wen lowered his head: "This humble general will steer for General Cao!"

Boarding this warship that is extremely like "Fu Ze", to say that there are completely no waves in his heart is also impossible. The killing commander who laid the advantage in the Misty Realm is now just an ordinary old woman sitting alone in an isolated courtyard!

But Cao All's face was expressionless. He only moved his thoughts to feel the army's momentum, and instantly had an understanding of the entire army's situation, praising: "Great Commander Qi Wen has raised the army well!"

Not directly calling him Commander Qi, but using the full name Great Commander Qi Wen, is naturally to distinguish him from the former Summer Corpse commander.

Qi Wen carefully listened for this subtle difference and humbly said: "The Son of Heaven has entrusted a great matter to me, Qi. This humble general is only doing matters within his duty."

Cao All looked at him: "Great Commander Qi Wen leads troops to suppress the sea, hangs alone outside, and raises the flag for the eastern country. This cannot be only exhausting within duty."

Qi Wen lowered his head even more, his voice more respectful: "General Cao's teachings, this humble general will engrave in his heart."

At this time of conquest, Cao All did not say anything more, only saying: "The Tian Fu army is on the way. Great Commander Qi Wen should respond in a timely manner and guard the island well. The great matters here, discuss them with Alliance Leader Ye. When necessary, lead the army to aid."

Qi Wen said nothing more, received the order, and left.

The Sea Suppressing Alliance also has its own army, composed of various island forces. It is also a means for the Qi people to control the sea. Of course, it cannot compare to the world's strong armies, but it also possesses certain combat power. Usually, it represents the Sea Suppressing Alliance in maintaining order in the near sea, and during wartime, it can also be sent to the Misty Realm to conquer the sea race.

Ye Hen Shui cupped his hands on the high cliff: "The entire Sea Suppressing Alliance army is already prepared, waiting for the dagger to be drawn, only waiting for the Great Commander's flag!"

With a few words, the handover was completed. Cao All waved his big hand, and the "Disaster Calamity" warship under his feet suddenly lifted high. The entire ship team followed, climbing higher. The momentum was fierce out of the near sea, like a dragon raising its head!

Above the ancient heaven road, the Jing Son of Heaven just issued his voice, continuing to write the Eternal Heaven Stele, one stroke hooking back the Profound God Emperor Lord.

Here, Cao All then led the army to come.

Yu Que, who was responsible for protecting the path, immediately pressed his sword and turned his body. One hundred thousand Dou E army followed the flags and rolled back, already making preparations to strike back at the Qi army on one side while continuing the Jing Sea plan on the other.

The voice of the Jing Country Son of Heaven rang out again: "The great undertaking on the sea border is a grand plan for ten thousand ages. It is also difficult for me, so I reluctantly do it for future generations! Jiang Shu intends to dedicate himself, how can I not let him have his wish? Let Cao All come!"

On the glorious great road spanning the high skies of various seas, the golden dragon light surged and divided like a tide.

Yu Que's talent makes it not difficult to lead a million troops. Leading an army of one hundred thousand is like commanding fingers with an arm. Whether to fight or retreat, it is all of one mind. In a moment, the formation changed, actually making out an advance channel for Qi Country on the ancient heaven road!

Cao All, when benevolence does not yield, immediately led the army with a leap, waving his troops towards the vast sea.

The fleet crossing the star river sailed alongside the strong army of Dou E suppressing time. Their glories reflected each other, each showing divine might.

For a time, the two countries of Qi and Jing, their allied armies were here. Yu Que and Cao All, together guarding the heaven road.

In a sense, this is a wonder that is harder to appear than the ancient heaven road.

"It was always Jiang Mengxiong who met this commander. How come it's the Duke today?" Yu Que tilted his head and asked.

Cao All did not look at him, but almost greedily overlooked the vast sea—Qi Country has operated the East Sea for many years, how has it ever had such an angle, how has it ever killed into the vast sea? Now seeing every eye in person, it is all abnormally precious intelligence.

In the future, if they conquer the vast sea again, relying on this can also seize the commander position.

If there is no future... then in this war, he must win more for Qi Country.

He said: "Jing Country is old and more firm, Qi Country is day by day new and month by month different. Young people will inevitably make the old decay witness different faces. Commander Yu should get used to it early."

Yu Que smiled: "Indeed, whether you come or Jiang Mengxiong comes, there is no difference. You are all like this. You are never willing to yield in words, afraid of losing half a point somewhere—before going out, did Jiang Shu teach you all uniformly?"

"Ji Fengzhou!!!" Cao All suddenly shouted loudly.

There was a short silence on the ancient heaven road.

"Never mind, you can be busy with your own things." Cao All said to himself: "It's just that Commander Yu does not respect my great Qi Son of Heaven, so I also cannot respect you."

Ji Fengzhou is Ji Fengzhou after all. He seemed to hear but not hear, and did not stop the outlining of the Eternal Heaven Stele at all.

Instead, Yu Que was startled and no longer spoke with Cao All, lest he mess with the heavenly heart—this little Cao with a bitter face, looking like a silent gourd that is easy to bully, unlike Jiang Mengxiong who is so violent. He did not think that once he opened his mouth, he would give you a big one. He really cannot be lightly neglected.

They all say that the winner has leisure. The Qi people and the Jing people still have the mood to fight with words on the ancient heaven road, naturally because their advantage is fully displayed, and they feel that they have surplus for advance and retreat.

The sea race side is correspondingly unable to relax.

It can even be said that with Cao All leading the army to ascend the ancient heaven road, the situation in the vast sea is already precarious.

Qi and Jing are internally fighting with words, but externally, their weapons are pointed in the same direction.

With the allied armies of the two great hegemonic countries coming from the east, what can still break the ancient heaven road?

What can still stop the erection of the Eternal Heaven Stele?

The Profound God Emperor Lord is almost an illusion that is extinguishing, the Spirit Nether Emperor Lord is as weak as a thread of gas, and the Red Eyebrow Emperor Lord hasn't even found a chance to act!

Although the vast sea is vast, it can no longer hide quietly, there is nowhere to retreat.

Just at this time, throughout the entire vast sea, a gurgling sound rang out, as if in that endless deep place, there was a huge sea eye, madly spitting out bubbles.

Mad waves rose in the far sea, and there was a shocking ring in the dark deep place. The sea surface rose madly.

That five-ball stacked Monitoring Heaven Platform always floated on the water and rose with the water. Yet at this instant, it was submerged by a single wave head.

It is already unable to monitor heaven!

That wave head is a cover, and it can also be considered protection.

Between the vast sea and the near sea, a new hedge wall is forming. This does not permit seeing that, and that does not permit investigating this.

This powerful heaven rule and sea law is obviously born to target the ancient heaven road. The ancient heaven road embodies the concept of a "bridge", and it then embodies itself as a "wall".

A wall separates, public and private share. Inside and outside the city wall, enemy and I do not communicate.

Just as this Eternal Heaven Stele comes to suppress the sea, the vast sea surges with mad waves at this moment.

The true master of the boundless vast sea is summoned at this moment, directly confronting the Eternal Heaven Stele outlined by Ji Fengzhou and the ancient heaven road paved with all the efforts of Jing Country.

The Ancient Dragon Emperor Xi Hun Clan, in order to cover the great retreat of the sea race, broke the rear alone and battled with Lie Mountain Human Emperor, fighting to the position of today's Misty Realm, fighting out this Misty Realm that overturns all rules. The vast sea and the near sea were thus divided.

Xi Hun Clan suffered heavy injuries in the last battle. Later, in the development of the vast sea, it disappeared, its life and death unknown.

The later common viewpoint is to consider it already dead, or at least no longer possessing a threat.

Because if not for this result, Lie Mountain Human Emperor, who struggled with it for many years, could not have rest assured to dissolve himself.

After Xi Hun Clan disappeared, the sea race in the vast sea also once fought to the death for the position of Dragon Emperor. Later, under the hosting of the first generation Wise Teacher Yuan Zong Sheng, a common agreement was formed—

"Unless one counterattacks the present world and dominates the central region, one cannot be the emperor of the vast sea."

So, successive Dragon Lords of the vast sea only call themselves "king", not emperor.

The one who is resisting the enemy this time is precisely the contemporary Dragon Lord Ao Jie.

Also known as… "East Sea Dragon King"!
