Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 710 The Realm of True Immortals, Mastery of Battle Techniques! (Two Chapters Combined)

Jabo's fur stood on end, and his leopard-like eyes gradually shifted from initial shock to rage.

Its body grew taller and taller, transforming back into a half-orc.

The celestial soldier's silver armor was flexible and still fit his body perfectly, without being stretched or torn.

His arm strength had increased significantly, but he still couldn't shake Song Changming.

Song Changming normally possesses over eight thousand strands of dragon power, making the two of them not even in the same league in terms of strength!

There was no need to test their combat tactics at all; anyone with eyes could see that Song Changming's overall strength was far superior to that of the leopard spirit.

Still somewhat unconvinced, Jiebao stopped insisting on competing with Song Changming in strength, swung his halberd, and unleashed the Golden Spear Battle Technique.

Having been tempered by the war between immortals and demons, the power of his battle technique has gained an even more domineering and bloody battlefield aura.

Enveloped in the murderous aura of the battlefield, his halberd transformed into an even more terrifying black dragon, roaring as it charged relentlessly towards Song Changming.

Song Changming glanced at him, then withdrew his strength and used the same battle tactic, giving his opponent a chance to continue sparring.

Although his opponent had practiced this set of combat techniques for hundreds of years longer, the difference in their combat skill levels was actually not that great.

They had all achieved some success, and if they really fought, Song Changming would not be at a disadvantage. But even so, this was already unacceptable to the leopard spirit.

If the other party can rival him after only two years of training, then what is his hundreds of years of training worth?
Not to mention, this stalemate was achieved by Song Changming deliberately holding back and conserving his strength.

Even in terms of pure immortal power, he and Song Changming are both close to the perfection of the immortal realm, and he is still at a disadvantage.

The exchange didn't last long; soon, Jebo stopped fighting.

"My skills are inferior to yours, Brother Song, you are truly skilled." Jiebao said in a muffled voice as he transformed back into human form.

He still has some shame. They've already given up, and he's still clinging on and on. What kind of behavior is that?

"Thank you for your concession." Song Changming nodded and stopped chasing after him.

He had made some progress in tactics, but his practical application was still lacking. Therefore, such battles were not a bad thing for him, as he could still accumulate some experience.

Consider it a free sparring partner at the same skill level.

"Jiebao, how was it after you tried it?" Li Gengsheng asked with a smile.

He wasn't surprised that Song Changming had such strength, after all, he had personally witnessed Song Changming kill the Ice Demon during the Heavenly Soldier Trial.

That ice demon is definitely at the True Immortal level, a level of strength that even a Perfect Immortal Realm cultivator would find difficult to kill!
With such a proven track record, dealing with a mere subordinate soldier today would be a piece of cake for him.

Therefore, he was not worried at all that Song Changming would be embarrassed.

"I'm completely convinced, Brother Song. I was very rude just now," Jie Bao said, bowing slightly.

"I don't think I've offended you at all. If you want to spar again next time, just come find me," Song Changming said casually.

Hearing this, Jiebao breathed a sigh of relief.

He had acted impulsively and wanted to demand an explanation, but now that he had calmed down, he was genuinely worried that Song Changming would settle scores with him later once he gained a position in the Celestial Court.

Fortunately, Song Changming was quite magnanimous and didn't hold his actions against him, which only made him feel more ashamed.

"Brother Song is a generous man," Jie Bao said, then silently returned to the queue.

"Anyone else want to test Brother Song's skills?" Li Gengsheng decided to help Song Changming establish his authority, his gaze sweeping over all the heavenly soldiers.

No one responded.

They all saw it all and knew that Song Changming was a ruthless character, so they were unwilling to humiliate themselves.

Jebo's strength is already among the best in the group; even he can't defeat him, let alone the others.

“Alright, let’s continue training.” Li Gengsheng put away his smile and said seriously.

With the matter of Song Changming over, the troops resumed their daily drills.

The training content wasn't extensive; it mainly consisted of the coordination between different combat tactics.

Each unit is like a square formation; when everyone advances and retreats together, they can unleash a power far exceeding that of an individual.

The so-called battle tactics can only unleash their greatest power within this formation.

Having prior experience in battle formation drills, Song Changming was naturally familiar with this. Upon arrival, he quickly integrated into the formation and became one of the forty heavenly soldiers.

Normally, when new recruits arrive, they often hold the group back during the initial training.

Only after a long period of repeated adjustments can they smoothly integrate into the group and contribute their strength.

However, Song Changming skipped the 'new recruit' process and quickly integrated with the group.

All the heavenly soldiers had no choice but to admit defeat.

Sometimes, when faced with exceptionally talented individuals, it is indeed impossible to measure them by conventional standards.

Two years passed in the blink of an eye after the Heavenly Soldier was officially promoted.

That day, inside the barracks.

Song Changming's immortal power continued to grow and flourish. If you looked closely, you could see tiny lights flickering constantly as this immortal power expanded, just like the stars in the sky blinking from time to time.

The outermost layer was shrouded in a hazy, ethereal aura.

Song Changming closed his eyes and sat in meditation. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and flipped his hand, revealing a Nourishing Immortal Pill.

The surface of this Immortal Nourishing Pill is radiant and its abundant and pure immortal energy is far superior to any immortal energy drifting in the outside world.

One glance is enough to tell that this Immortal Nourishing Pill is of extremely high quality.

Indeed, this was a top-grade Immortal Nourishing Pill, which Song Changming obtained from team leader Li Gengsheng by exchanging his own Heavenly Blessing.

As someone who had been through it all, Li Gengsheng had told him that the closer one gets to the point of achieving immortality, the more one needs the help of high-grade pills, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation.

Right now, Song Changming has reached the crucial step of breaking through to the Perfect Realm and forging an Immortal Body.

To ensure a smooth breakthrough, Song Changming also planned to use a high-grade pill to safeguard his important breakthrough.

He had thought that the year he was promoted from a Heavenly Soldier to a regular position, he would have the opportunity to earn another cultivation reward.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned, there were no shortcuts, and he had to rely on himself to break through.

Fortunately, his talent was also outstanding, so he could manage on his own.

He swallowed a mouthful of the elixir, and the abundant, high-quality immortal energy within was quickly refined and injected into the martial pill.

The nine golden lines on the surface of the Martial Pill became increasingly dazzling, as if nine golden dragons were gradually coming to life!

His aura rose steadily, and an unusual divinity arose within him.

His flesh and blood, every inch of his skin, every pore, radiated a flawless glow.

Smooth and flawless like jade, a perfected immortal body!
The breakthrough was a natural and effortless process, without any signs of hindrance or failure.

The Immortal Realm is now complete!
"It's faster than expected."

Looking at his body, which was radiating divine light, Song Changming pondered to himself.

The immortal body is perfectly formed, with not a trace of impurity on its body, only the immortal energy permeating it, making it incorruptible and incorruptible for thousands of years!

Only at this moment could Song Changming truly be called an immortal, not just a mortal! With an immortal body formed, celestial light surrounding him, and the connection between heaven and earth, he was a true immortal!

"This is truly divine," Song Changming murmured to himself.

Normally, the transition from the Perfect Immortal Realm to the Early True Immortal Realm is not a seamless leap.

There is also a transformation period after the immortal body is formed. It may take as little as three to five years, or as long as thirty to fifty years, before one can truly control one's own immortal body and obtain the name of a true immortal!
However, Song Changming skipped this transition period and directly took control of the immortal body.

A surge of immortal power swirled within his own martial core, forming a powerful spot of light on the outer layer.

He vaguely felt that his ability to skip this transition period was probably related to this martial arts pill that no one else had.

Through this martial pill, he completely controlled the immortal power of the True Immortal Realm, without any signs of losing control.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Song Changming had a flash of inspiration. His divine spirit flew out from his forehead and transformed into a long halberd, which he then used to unleash the Golden Spear Battle Technique.

Streams of divine soul power rippled out from the halberd.

After an unknown amount of time, Song Changming finally stopped fighting, and his spirit floated back to the Underworld Sea.

And on his panel.

Following the Golden Spear Battle Technique, the realm column has clearly changed from Lesser Success to Greater Success.

His Golden Spear Battle Techniques had already accumulated a considerable amount of experience over the past two years of intensive practice.

This sudden enlightenment is truly a double blessing!

The Realm of True Immortals! Mastery of Battle Techniques!
The reason for practicing only with the soul and not with the physical body is that they are afraid that if the physical body becomes too strong, it might destroy the barracks.

"I've become a true immortal in just a few years, all thanks to my profound good fortune," Song Changming said to himself with a smile.

The increase in immortal power, all things considered, was actually achieved through a relatively short period of dedicated cultivation.

All of this is thanks to the numerous contributions of the previous celestial fish, celestial wine, celestial fruit, and annual rewards.

"With my current strength, even if I went to the battlefield, I should be able to protect myself to some extent."

Feeling the immense immortal power flowing through his body, Song Changming felt more confident.

The battle between immortals and demons in the north continues unabated, and he always felt that at this critical juncture, he might not be able to remain uninvolved.

Fortunately, he had not been conscripted to the battlefield before today.

Now that he is at least a true immortal, he has a better chance of surviving on the battlefield than the ordinary hordes of heavenly soldiers.

"Let's further consolidate the fairyland."

Song Changming wasn't in a hurry to leave seclusion and test his skills. The immortal power growing from the martial pill within his body would occasionally surge and was not very stable, requiring him to further strengthen and consolidate it.

As for why he had so much time to seclude himself and cultivate, without having to fulfill his duties as a celestial soldier...

This could be considered a small act of kindness from Li Gengsheng.

For other celestial soldiers, such a long period of seclusion might not be approved smoothly, especially when the war between immortals and demons has not yet subsided, and it is even more important to ensure the integrity of the troops' daily operations.

While Song Changming was consolidating his immortal power in the True Immortal Realm, on the other side, in a grand hall of the Five Military Cities, ten Qujiang Gods stood in ten different positions, waiting quietly.

Suddenly, a bolt of divine lightning crashed down outside the hall, transforming into a human figure.

Dressed in the armor of a great general, wearing a dragon helmet and a general's cloak made of divine lightning, he was majestic and incomparably domineering.

His divine eyes swept over the ten musicians who had already risen in the main hall, and he strode inside.

"Greetings, General Lei Xiao!" the ten generals bowed respectfully.

"No need for formalities. To make a long story short, the Heavenly King has ordered that my troops will march north in three days. You all must go down and muster your troops. There is no time to lose!" This celestial general was swift and decisive. After speaking, he transformed into a bolt of lightning and disappeared without a trace.

clang!
The camp bells rang.

Upon hearing the bell, Song Changming immediately stopped his practice.

Different bell tolls have different meanings; the louder the bell, the bigger the event.

The sound of that bell resounded so widely that it was likely heard by all the heavenly soldiers and generals of the five divisions of the Northern Celestial Army.

Song Changming understood that he could no longer remain in seclusion.

"Could it be that they're going to send troops to join the war?" Song Changming had a premonition.

This was the first time in recent years that he had heard such a resounding bell signaling an order.

With a wave of his hand, inner armor, outer armor, skirt armor, combat boots, and a silver helmet appeared on him on their own.

With a flick of his wrist, he obtained the halberd, hung the battle sword at his waist, and in a flash, he rode the wind out the door.

At the same time, he noticed that amidst the swirling clouds and mist, celestial soldiers were also riding the wind and clouds as they passed by.

Some left in haste, even dressing as they flew, not daring to miss the appointed time for military orders.

Throughout the five northern regions, in the small-town-like strongholds, crowds thronged, and countless streams of immortal power surged.

Soon, Song Changming arrived at the place where the troops usually trained.

He didn't arrive early. Of the 45 celestial soldiers in the army, 44 had already arrived, leaving him as the last to arrive.

When Li Gengsheng saw Song Changming, he simply nodded and said nothing.

Once everyone was together, they led their troops quickly toward the command platform.

Soon, the entire Tenth Army gathered together and formed small square formations.

Compared to two years ago, after recuperation, the number of soldiers in the ten detachments of the army has been increased to varying degrees, and they are no longer as depleted as before.

With a full complement of 500, the number of heavenly soldiers has been restored to at least 450.

After assembling his troops, Qingquan led them swiftly towards Naqu.

This process of aggregation occurs level by level.

After the Nine Heavens General finished reviewing his troops, they finally formed a large square formation and arrived in front of the Great General's palace.

There were nearly 50,000 heavenly soldiers, arranged in ten large square formations, standing in perfect order. The immortal energy they gathered caused bursts of rosy light to appear above their heads, creating countless strange phenomena!
Its terrifying power permeated the entire universe!

Song Changming stood out among the 50,000 heavenly soldiers, completely inconspicuous.

Fifty thousand heavenly soldiers are fifty thousand immortals!
He felt that such a powerful force was enough to sweep away all enemies in the world!

However, the fact is that the battle between immortals and demons that suddenly broke out in the north has continued for many years without ever subsiding.

The more powerful this celestial army appears, the more terrifying the ferocious demon is revealed. It is truly remarkable that it has been able to stand on equal footing with the celestial court and celestial army for so long!

The divine lightning struck again, and in mid-air, the Great Heavenly General who governed the five departments appeared.

General Lei Xiao!
This general, who is proficient in thunder magic, is said to have been a celestial official in the Thunder Department before joining the celestial army and becoming the general of the five northern departments.

Song Changming felt genuine awe for this powerful god from the Celestial Court.

The power displayed by the opponent was unparalleled!
Enveloping the fifty thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, the pressure was so great that all the immortals, including Song Changming, could hardly breathe.
