Above the Great Dao-Chapter 1446 - 672: Take Everyone Away

The two Heavenly Generals carried a stretcher, stepping on auspicious clouds, heading straight towards the Western Heaven Swing.

The Western Heaven Swing was the training ground of King Li, arranging troops, practicing offense and defense, and honing spells, all took place here.

King Li was so severely injured that even a slight bump made him groan in pain. Groaning all the way, he finally arrived at the Western Heaven Swing.

King Li couldn't move his head and could only listen with a tilted ear. Hearing nothing, he chuckled, "Chen Shi is still too young. Though the status of Heavenly Soldiers is lowly, it is at least a stable job. The monthly salary is paid on time, which is a rare thing in the Earth Immortal Realm. He thinks a mere call to arms would get others to follow him, abandoning this stable job to leave the Heavenly Court; such conceit!"

"My lord…" the Heavenly General beside him hesitated.

"What is it?" King Li chuckled.

The Heavenly General hesitated, "My lord, quite a few Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have gathered at the Western Heaven Swing…"

King Li was slightly taken aback but smiled indifferently, "There are as many colors in flowers as there are kinds of people. Naturally, some fools feel free outside the Heavenly Court and are eager to leave. Little do they know the regret waiting outside. Many Immortals go out to experience the world, only to end up returning to the Heavenly Soldier Camp. I've seen too many like that. Do you know why?"

The Heavenly General said nothing.

King Li said, "Because it is worse outside. The monthly salary from the Heavenly Court is a treasure that countless Immortals long for but cannot obtain! The monthly salary of the Heavenly Soldier Camp isn't much, a bottle of Immortal Pill, a bottle of Spiritual Liquid, and some coins, enough for daily practice. Out in the Immortal Realm, even daily practice isn't guaranteed, so it's better to return as a Heavenly Soldier!"

He looked somewhat proud.

He had been in charge of the Heavenly Soldier Camp for three hundred thousand years, during which countless Immortals ascended.

He had seen many Immortals with determined spirits planning to leave the Heavenly Court to achieve something great, only to have their aspirations shattered in the harsh reality of the Earth Immortal Realm, even to the point of breaking into pieces.

He also had seen many Immortals returning to the Heavenly Court, battered and bruised, timidly approaching him, begging to return to the Heavenly Soldier Camp.

Indeed, King Li had done many unsavory things, like those who offended him often meeting tragic ends during investigations, with even an entire camp of Immortals wiped out.

But the Heavenly Soldier Camp had always been the best option for newly ascended Immortals!

On the stretcher, a sneer appeared on the corner of King Li's mouth, "This is the Heavenly Court giving you a meal. Without this meal, you'll gain nothing. Heh, just nothing to gain…"

"Heavenly King, Heavenly King!" the Heavenly Generals carrying the stretcher said softly.

King Li felt impatient, "What's going on? Speak your mind!"

The Heavenly General said, "There's quite a lot of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals at the Western Heaven Swing…"

King Li's heart skipped a beat, hastily saying, "How many is a lot? Quickly! To the Battle Supervision Platform!"

The Heavenly Generals swiftly carried the stretcher, flying to the sky, landing on the platform.

King Li urged, "Stand me up! Quickly! Not too much, I need to move my eyes, don't let me fall out…"

He just stopped here, suddenly falling silent.

Beneath the Battle Supervision Platform, at the Western Heaven Swing, what lay before his eyes was an endless array of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, orderly in formation, each camp commanded by a General, overseeing over a thousand Heavenly Soldiers.

Twelve camps formed a unit, guarded by a Governor. Ten units formed a Guard, overseen by a Duke.

What lay within King Li's view were tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

They were disciplined, not uttering a sound.

King Li's face turned pale, as if all his bones had been broken again by a rebellious son, feeling as if his heart was bleeding, hoarsely stating, "Why are so many leaving the Heavenly Soldier Camp…Turn me around."

The two Heavenly Generals rotated the stretcher, revealing more camps of Heavenly Soldiers before him.

On the right side of the Battle Supervision Platform, there were also tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals!

The two Heavenly Generals continued to turn him, and King Li saw the north side's tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

Turning again, King Li saw tens of thousands of Heavenly Soldiers from the east side.

King Li's body trembled, feeling the blood rushing to his head, the buzzing of flowing blood echoed in his ears, hoarsely shouting, "Two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, have they all come? Two hundred thousand—two hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, all following Chen Shi? I don't believe it!"

He cried out, rolling off the stretcher, his entire body wracked with intense pain, the bones broken by his rebellious son and masked individuals splitting once more, wriggling in agony like a worm.

"King Li, why do you lie on the ground?"

Chen Shi flew over, landing on the Battle Supervision Platform, supporting him back onto the stretcher.

King Li struggled, trying to harness his mana, but his Primordial Spirit was severely wounded by the Three Altar Sea Meeting Great God, unable to function, his Sea of Consciousness in shambles, unable to wield his Divine Sense.

"Chen Shi! You can't take them!"

King Li, mustering all his strength, raised a hand to grip Chen Shi's wrist, straining every muscle, "You can't take them! If you take them, the Heavenly Soldier Camp will be empty, no one will be left! There'll be no Heavenly Soldiers and Generals guarding the Heavenly Court!"

Chen Shi broke free, saying, "Heavenly King, it's not that I'm taking them; the contract with the Heavenly Court has expired, and now we are free."

King Li, so anxious he almost cried, said, "Chen Shi, you can't take them! Without the Heavenly Mechanism Strategy Jade Balance Gate, no Immortals are ascending! This batch of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals decreases with each use. If you take another two hundred thousand, the Heavenly Soldier Camp ceases to exist!"
