Chapter 272: War Preparation
The afterglow of the setting sun, like a gorgeous painting, gently sprinkled on the tenth peak of Qingming Mountain. The sunset gradually dyed the sky red, and the color spread out layer by layer like a dreamy brocade.
The Tenth Peak is covered with a brilliant coat, and appears even more majestic under the reflection of the sunset, as if it is a masterpiece drawn by nature with a giant brush.
The sunset glow over Qingming Mountain was picturesque and enchanting. It was nature's most beautiful gift. Liang Ruyan, held in Shi Chen's arms, stood on the bow deck of the large flying boat, quietly admiring the beautiful scenery and feeling the charm of nature.
As the last ray of afterglow gradually disappeared into the sky and night quietly fell, Liang Ruyan gently leaned on Shi Chen's chest, feeling his warmth and heartbeat.
At this time, the tenth peak of Qingming Mountain was shrouded in the night, as if covered with a mysterious veil.
The stars twinkled in the night sky like dazzling gems. The night breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness. Liang Ruyan raised her head slightly and looked at Shi Chen's face, her eyes full of tenderness.
"Husband, the sunset today is so beautiful." Liang Ruyan said softly.
Shi Chen looked at her gently and responded with a smile, "Qingming Mountain's scenery is beautiful, and there are many more beautiful scenery in the cultivation world. Unfortunately, this beautiful thing is about to be refined by someone. If I can prevent this crisis, I would like to take you to travel around the cultivation world and appreciate the beautiful scenery everywhere."
The two of them quietly embraced each other in the night, their hearts filled with peace and happiness. They knew that in this challenging world of spiritual practice, such beautiful moments were especially precious. They cherished each other and every bit of beauty that nature had bestowed upon them.
Half a year later, the large flying boat arrived at the east coast of Yuanling Continent.
The Dark Sea Immortal City was a bustling scene. At the massive harbor, more than a dozen large sea-crossing flying boats were neatly lined up, with formation masters shuttling back and forth, inspecting the craft.
On the city wall, soldiers in shiny armor were busy with solemn expressions.
Some were carrying boxes of sharp arrows, others were adjusting huge crossbows, the sound of taut bowstrings echoing in the air, and the flag bearers were always ready to wave flags and convey various orders.
In the square of the Immortal City, mountains of spirit stones and various precious materials awaited distribution. Artifact refiners, sweating profusely, concentrated on refining new magical weapons, flames soaring into the sky and the sound of metal clashing incessantly filled the air.
In the military supply warehouse nearby, various armors, helmets, boots and other equipment were classified and placed, and the logistics personnel were busy recording the inventory quantities to ensure that every human monk going to the battlefield could get sufficient equipment supply.
Every corner of the Youhai Fairy City is filled with a tense and busy atmosphere. Everyone knows that once the war between humans and sirens breaks out, they can only move forward until the sirens retreat back to the Demon Sea.
They must go all out for their homeland and for the cultivation resources of the human race.
Shi Chen and his companions arrived at the Military Affairs Hall, where they were received by a Jindan cultivator. After showing his military badge, he brought a few people to the reception room.
"Senior, are you going to join the human race's cultivator army in the counterattack against Dayu Continent?" The Jindan cultivator asked expectantly.
"I'm going to look for General Peng. I heard that he has already arrived at the front line of Dayu Continent." Shi Chen said solemnly.
"General Peng?" The Jindan cultivator frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then his eyes lit up as he continued, "You mean the human race's commander-in-chief, General Peng? Yes, General Peng led the united cultivator army all the way to Dayu Continent. He has now recaptured several immortal cities, providing a foothold for the human cultivators on Dayu Continent."
Shi Chen nodded slightly and said anxiously, "It's General Peng. Is there any way for me to see General Peng as soon as possible? I have something important to discuss with him."
The Jindan cultivator looked embarrassed and shook his head, saying, "Senior, General Peng is on the front line. The battle is urgent, and this place is separated from Dayu Continent by the Chaotic Sea."
"Please give us priority in going to Dayu Continent." Shi Chen said sincerely.
"Today, a flying boat is heading to Dayu Continent, but it is only to escort various craft masters who are most needed on the front line. It is not easy for me to arrange for you to board the boat." The Jindan cultivator was in a dilemma and frowned.
Shi Chen took out the jade token of the certified alchemist from Dongzhizhou, handed it to the Jindan cultivator, and said with a smile: "That's fine. This jade token should allow you to arrange for me to board the flying boat."
The Jindan cultivator took the jade token and saw the information inside. His eyes lit up and his fingers trembled as he quickly grasped the token. "Are you a fifth-grade alchemist? That's great! The front lines are in need of alchemists. I'll arrange for you to board the flying boat immediately."
"Not only me, but also these few, my fellow Taoists." Shi Chen said, stretching his hand behind him.
"Well!" The Jindan cultivator hesitated for a moment, but soon confirmed with a smile, "Alright, since you're Master's Taoist companion, let's board the boat together. Come, I'll personally take you there."
Several people followed the Jindan cultivator all the way to the flying boat dock.
On the streets, teams of soldiers hurried past in measured steps, their eyes firm and filled with fighting determination. The clash of armor echoed in the air like a passionate war song.
In roadside workshops, flames shot up into the sky as weapon refiners toiled day and night, crafting various weapons and magical treasures. The sound of hammers striking metal echoed endlessly, sparks flying everywhere, and each finished product embodied their painstaking efforts and expectations.
In the alchemy room, alchemists were concentrating on refining elixirs. The aroma of medicinal herbs filled the air as furnace after furnace of precious elixirs emerged continuously, providing powerful support for the soldiers on the front lines.
In front of the warehouse, logistics personnel were busy counting supplies to ensure that every item could be delivered to the front line accurately. Their faces were covered with sweat, but they did not slack off at all.
In the square, a group of monks were busy setting up a teleportation array. Their hands flickered with light, and runes were carved into the ground. These teleportation arrays would play a vital role in the war, ensuring the rapid transportation of supplies and personnel.
Once the wheels of war began to turn, they surged like a raging torrent, unstoppable. Most of the cultivators were busy in the Immortal City and on the docks, excited.
They should be looking forward to the great victory of the human race and the great victory of regaining the Dayu Continent.
Many veteran soldiers wore blank expressions. Having experienced countless wars, they knew victory wasn't easy. Their eyes revealed a calm and resolute expression, as if telling those around them that war is cruel and that one cannot rely solely on anticipation and excitement.
At the flying boat dock, a flying boat was lined up with a team of cultivators. A Jindan cultivator walked straight past the team, bringing Shi Chen and a few others to the front of the team. He whispered in the ears of the flying boat guards for a while, and the guards looked at Shi Chen and nodded, signaling them to get on the flying boat first.
Shi Chen took the jade boarding pass from the flying boat guard and walked towards the flying boat with Liang Ruyan and others.
Before Shi Chen and the Jindan cultivator could express their gratitude, complaints arose from the cultivators in the queue behind him.
