Within his quarters, Lin Xuan's aura erupted without any attempt to conceal it, surpassing his previous strength by a significant margin!
Ten Dragon Blood Pills, along with resources exchanged for 30,000 battle merits, were incredibly valuable, enough to allow his soul and body to each break through a minor realm, reaching the mid-True Immortal Realm, greatly enhancing his strength!
"My physical strength, power, and the quantity and quality of my spiritual energy have all increased considerably."
Lin Xuan tested his strength slightly, nodding in satisfaction.
With his current power, even utilizing his Blood Eruption talent, he was confident in engaging the previous Heavenly Soldier Captain wielding the Fire Cloud Mace in a protracted battle. With his speed advantage, he could easily win.
Among the True Immortal Realm Heavenly Soldiers, his strength was probably considered top-tier!
And this was not even considering his innate spiritual treasure, the Crimson Cloud Sword. It was his trump card and wouldn't be used lightly.
"I've exhausted all my resources, but fortunately, the next conquest isn't too far off."
Lin Xuan smiled confidently. He was a different person now, no longer fearing or worrying about the conquest of the lower realms. Instead, he was filled with anticipation!
After all, to quickly obtain more resources, he needed to kill more demons and gain battle merits. Joining the main force was the fastest and safest way to do so.
Next, he went to the training formation to hone his physical body. Soon, the time for the next millennium conquest arrived.
"Assemble!"
Lin Xuan returned to the Heavenly Soldier Court, gathering his 400 Heavenly Soldiers. Then, he joined forces with a dozen other Heavenly Soldier Captains, assembling under a Heavenly General, Chen General.
"This time, we will go to the Colorful Water River to capture a Xuan Immortal Demon King.
"Upon encountering any demon under the Demon King's command, kill them without hesitation."
Chen General gave concise orders, leading thousands of Heavenly Soldiers out of the South Heavenly Gate, heading down to the lower realms to conquer the demons.
"Over this period, that Wang General, who I offended before, hasn't come looking for trouble. Why is that?"
Lin Xuan led his troops while flying, secretly thinking. For some reason, he felt a bit of regret.
However, it was ultimately just a minor incident. He quickly brushed it aside, focusing on leading his troops in the conquest, slaying countless demons.
This conquest operation went smoothly, with the Demon King captured and most of its subordinates exterminated. Lin Xuan even personally killed several True Immortal Greater Demons, earning nearly 20,000 battle merits!
Upon returning, he immediately exchanged for a batch of resources. After refining them, his soul and body cultivation both saw significant improvement.
During the thousand years between two conquest operations, aside from training his Heavenly Soldiers, he mostly spent his time in the training grounds, honing his body and undergoing Gāngfēng Cuìtǐ. Even though the progress was slow, it was a steady improvement, and over time, it would lead to significant gains!
Thus, time passed as he participated in numerous conquest operations, following Chen General in conquering the lower realms for a total of eight times!
Each conquest was like completing a mission, in fact, a combination of many missions. The danger was minimal, but the rewards were substantial!
After all, they followed a Heavenly General in conquering a Demon King. The Demon King was handled by the General, but the number of subordinates was countless, providing a large amount of battle merits. Each conquest earned them a batch of cultivation resources, leading to obvious improvement.
Lin Xuan occasionally encountered trouble, like when the number of True Immortal Greater Demons was too large, or when several True Immortal Late Stage and True Immortal Pinnacle Demons attacked. Without his innate spiritual treasure, he would be helpless, but at crucial moments, Chen General would step in, striking with a sweep, instantly clearing a path for the Heavenly Soldier Captains under his command. There was almost no danger!
Chen General was, after all, a Xuan Immortal Pinnacle, a body-cultivating Xuan Immortal, one of the most powerful Heavenly Generals. Following such a superior naturally made Lin Xuan and his men feel comfortable, especially Lin Xuan. He was diligent in killing demons and received special attention from Chen General, resulting in large rewards every time, allowing his cultivation to steadily increase.
Over eight thousand years, his cultivation had risen another level, both his body and soul reaching the late True Immortal Realm!
This speed was actually quite fast, as time in the Hóng Huáng was meaningless. Most cultivators would struggle to increase their realm even once over ten thousand years!
"Even if I fought bare-handed, I can achieve invincibility below the Xuan Immortal Realm. I can even hold off an average Xuan Immortal and escape safely."
Lin Xuan muttered to himself. Over these years, aside from a level increase in his basic cultivation, he had accumulated a number of blue talent traits. He had gained many talents after all, as each conquest and demon slaying yielded countless dropped traits. Even after filtering out most of the useless white traits, he had accumulated quite a few useful ones.
Although the individual effects of blue traits were not significant, they added up. In total, they were a considerable boost to his strength!
Some blue traits, for example, were quite useful and significantly enhanced his overall strength, adding to his arsenal.
……………………
【Wind Spirit Body (Blue): A wind spirit aura constantly surrounds you, allowing you to partially control strong winds for attacks and movement!】
【Swordsmanship (Blue): All things can be swords. You can perform sword control techniques and greatly increase your power when using swords!】
……………………
These two blue traits were Lin Xuan's favorites.
The Wind Spirit Body could be combined with the "Speed" talent to increase his speed, and it also allowed him to manipulate strong winds, effectively granting him ordinary wind-type spells!
Swordsmanship boosted the lethality of his weapon-based attacks. Whether using a knife, spear, sword, or halberd, he could add a layer of sword energy to increase their power!
When using his trump card, the Crimson Cloud Sword, this talent would also work, although the boost wouldn't be significant. It was better than nothing.
With multiple talent traits, coupled with his True Immortal Late Stage cultivation in both soul and body, his combat strength had surpassed that of other True Immortal Pinnacle Heavenly Soldiers!
"The next one is the Great Conquest."
Lin Xuan watched the passing Heavenly Soldiers, secretly thinking.
About every ten thousand years, there would be a Great Conquest operation. It would be led by a Jin Immortal officer or a top-tier Heavenly General, with a much larger scale of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals than normal conquests, and more concentrated!
……………………
"The Great Conquest happening in a while will be led by Giant Spirit God, targeting the three Demon Kings entrenched in the Plum Mountain. The strongest among them is only a Jin Immortal Early Stage, definitely no match for Giant Spirit God, so it'll be very easy."
As Heavenly Soldier Captains, they could learn about some information in advance from the Heavenly Generals. Hearing this, the other Heavenly Soldier Captains relaxed, chatting and laughing as they left.
But when Lin Xuan heard the word Plum Mountain, he froze, a bad feeling creeping into his heart!
