Chapter 293 Cross-Border Warfare (1)
Gu Yuchuan slept very comfortably that night. He felt his mind was very relaxed, and his overall condition had recovered, making it much easier to do things.
He had just finished reciting the Golden Light Mantra twenty times on his bed when his jade slip lit up again, indicating new personnel appointments.
"Azure Dragon Demon King Gu Yuchuan, please quickly go to Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor to receive your next stage of mission."
Gu Yuchuan didn't waste any more time and went straight to the office of the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor. It was very impressive. After all, whether it was her cultivation level or her current status, Gu Yuchuan could not compare to her. Naturally, they were different.
He didn't have to wait long before the Cloud Phoenix Demon Emperor met him, but she didn't get to the point.
"You little dragon are truly blessed with good fortune. Your cultivation has improved so quickly, and you already have two great merits. It seems that you are going to soar to great heights in this war. Perhaps you can even complete your Nascent Soul stage preparations through this war and advance when you return. You are truly a formidable young man."
As she spoke, she looked Gu Yuchuan up and down. Her gaze swept over him, making him feel as if he were naked, which made him uncomfortable. The other party's strength was indeed much stronger than the others, and he had no way to stop it.
"These are just some small gains. Compared to the Demon Emperor, they are far inferior. You have commanded so many troops. I dare not even imagine how great your final achievements will be. Perhaps after the war ends, you will be the third Venerable of my demon race. How can I catch up with that?"
Everyone likes to hear compliments, especially flattery from geniuses. Yunluan Demon Empress was no exception. A smile appeared on her face, making her look stunning and captivating.
"People say that only foxes are glib and smooth-talking, while you dragons are all lewd and wicked. But you are so good at talking. It seems you will ruin countless female demons in the future."
Gu Yuchuan quickly waved his hand: "Your Majesty, you are looking at me with prejudice. Although my dragon clan does have a bad reputation in this regard, I am different. I am devoted to cultivation and I do not pursue such things. I only have one concubine at home, and she is already pregnant with my child. Your Majesty, you cannot speak nonsense."
His denial made the other person laugh again: "Look at you, I was just saying it casually, why are you taking it so seriously? It's kind of like you're trying to hide something. Okay, enough of this nonsense, let's get down to business. Your new task has been assigned, and completing it will be a great achievement."
Gu Yuchuan also put away his expression and became very serious: "Whatever you say, sir, I will definitely be able to complete the mission."
The other party finally began to explain Gu Yuchuan's new task: "As you know, food and supplies are very important in war. Normally, we cultivators can abstain from grains, but when our mana is running at a high intensity, that's definitely not possible. We need to eat some spirit rice to replenish our mana and reduce our consumption. Your task is about this."
She glanced at Gu Yuchuan and, seeing that he was listening attentively, continued, "Although our demon race brought a lot of provisions from Yunhai Marsh, we still need to be frugal. Increasing revenue and reducing expenditure are very important. There's a grain base of a technological immortal sect nearby, where they grow yellow sprout rice. It's enough for cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage. The scout team has already investigated; there are only three Golden Core stage cultivators there. You alone are enough. After this is completed, you'll receive a small merit. Go and complete this mission as soon as possible."
After she finished speaking, she tossed Gu Yuchuan a map, which was clearly marked. After glancing at it briefly, Gu Yuchuan understood how to proceed.
“Okay, but there’s one thing I don’t understand. Now that we’re at war, this base is quite large. I definitely can’t kill everyone. If they go out and ask for reinforcements, it will definitely affect the outcome of the battle.”
The Demon Emperor Yunluan waved his hand dismissively: "Don't worry, the human cultivators have also arrived. They're near the Technological Immortal Sect, and they're about to start fighting there. They definitely won't have time to provide support. Besides, we're starting our attack today too. How can they possibly have time to support us? Even if some cultivators do come to our aid, you're not afraid of those at the Golden Core stage, and as for those at the Nascent Soul stage, you have talismans and treasures. At least escaping won't be a problem. That's why I gave you this mission. This is a military order, do you understand?"
Gu Yuchuan immediately clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Yes, I accept this military order. I will complete this task as quickly as possible and will definitely not waste any time."
Seeing this, the other party nodded slightly: "Alright, go ahead. This task isn't difficult; even a small achievement isn't insignificant. You can go now. I have many things to attend to here, so I won't continue talking to you. You may leave."
Gu Yuchuan bowed and then left immediately, as he needed to prepare before departing.
Meanwhile, the Canglan Realm was indeed not peaceful. The human race had also established their own teleportation array, and the places they chose were all very close to the Immortal Palace. Naturally, the Immortal Venerable had to go and take a look. However, the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain was also a cultivator in the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he was no match for him. He was easily defeated.
The Immortal Venerable was furious, but there was nothing he could do. He was simply outmatched. If he wanted to stabilize the situation or even turn the tide, there was only one way: to become a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. Only then would it be possible. If he couldn't advance, his efforts would be like flowers in water or the moon in a well—completely unattainable.
The human race's Qingyun City was quickly established, and like the demon race, they also began to expand slowly. By this time, both major forces in the Qingyun Realm had established themselves in the Canglan Realm and had begun to launch their attacks. It is believed that it will not be long before they both reap considerable rewards.
However, neither the Immortal Venerable nor Venerable Faming were willing to surrender easily. They each had their own methods. For example, the Immortal Venerable had already appeared in the Heavenly Dao Space.
This Heavenly Dao space was pitch black, without a single ray of light. It was as if there was no concept of time and space here. Even the Immortal Venerable could only walk on his own two feet. He walked for a long time but still couldn't find the Heavenly Dao. The anger in his heart grew stronger and stronger, and the expression on his face became even uglier.
So he simply stood still: "Heavenly Dao, come out immediately, or I will leave this Canglan Realm."
