155: Chapter 155 One Hundred Million Heavenly Soldiers

Cao Yang looked up at the Heavenly Emperor's Token and the Popularization Stele floating in the sky, his heart filled with joy and satisfaction.

He thought to himself, "I didn't expect Tu Wu to have such potential. It seems I should discover more of the potential in these maids in the future."

With a slight movement of his will, three massive towers shimmering with golden light abruptly appeared next to the original City Lord's Mansion of Giant Stone City.

These three giant towers were arranged in a perfect triangle. In the very center was the towering and magnificent time tower, while on its left was the Merit Pavilion and on its right was the Divine Technique Pavilion.

The Divine Technique Pavilion was divided into two levels: the upper level was the Cultivation Technique Hall, and the lower level was the Divine Treasure Hall.

Although they were called halls, they were actually two Small Worlds that had been strengthened.

The Merit Pavilion was the same.

Next, with a wave of his hand, Cao Yang dispatched nine Divine Lord-level Puppets to these three pavilions to take charge of guarding them.

At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to Xu Buli, instructing him to temporarily take on the role of administrator for these three pavilions.

Only ten minutes after the Immortal Emperor's Order was issued, over ten thousand people had already come to the Heavenly Court to register, receive Cultivation Techniques, and enter the time tower to Cultivate.

The earliest arrivals were Immortals at the Golden Immortal Realm or above from the Mingyue Dynasty, as well as people from the Xingyun Sect.

Because these two forces were the first to know the Heavenly Emperor's Token was real, Empress Mingyue Chu Yueer and Xing Yu immediately notified their respective forces to sign up as Heavenly Soldiers.

Afterward, when the higher-ups of other forces saw that the Xingyun Sect, one of the strongest forces in the Immortal Realm, had also signed up as Heavenly Soldiers, they followed suit and headed to the Heavenly Court.

Three hours later, the entire Mingyue Dynasty was crowded with Immortals at the Heavenly Immortal Realm and above, totaling over 20 million, most of whom were Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings.

Seeing that Immortal Lord Feng Lei and the others were overwhelmed, many people took advantage of the large number of experts to start committing evil acts, and the Mingyue Dynasty began to show signs of chaos.

"Brother Cao, this can't go on. Many innocent citizens of the Dynasty will be caught up in the actions of these outside experts," Empress Mingyue said worriedly as she found Cao Yang drinking tea in the pavilion, looking panicked.

"Yueer, don't worry. I have already dispatched 100,000 True Gods to maintain order within the Mingyue Dynasty. The chaos will disappear in a moment," Cao Yang said gently, pulling Empress Mingyue into his arms to comfort her.

"But..." Empress Mingyue was still very worried, but seeing Cao Yang's calm expression, she stopped speaking and simply leaned into his embrace, hoping everything would be resolved smoothly.

At this time, in the streets and alleys of the Mingyue Dynasty, countless Immortals were coming and going, and the noise was incessant.

Some Immortals were fighting in the streets, others were forcing trades, and some were even harassing the common people.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Hall, Cao Yang sat on a chair on the third floor. In front of him was a thick stack of Jade Slips, which contained the heavenly laws and the Heavenly Soldier planning he had carefully written out.

"Lord Heavenly Emperor, the situation outside is getting worse. Should we take action!" Xu Buli anxiously climbed the heavenly stairs and arrived at the entrance of the Heavenly Emperor Hall to report the chaotic situation to Cao Yang.

"I know. I have already sent out a hundred thousand True Gods; they should be able to control the situation soon," Cao Yang replied calmly, putting down the Jade Slip in his hand.

"But Lord Heavenly Emperor, what if those Immortals resist? After all, they are numerous and powerful," Xu Buli asked worriedly.

"Rest assured, I believe those True Gods can handle this matter. If anyone dares to resist, they shall be severely punished according to the heavenly laws without leniency!" Cao Yang said with a firm tone.

Meanwhile, in every corner of the Mingyue Dynasty, the True Gods had already begun to act. Clad in golden battle armor and wielding Divine Artifacts, they appeared majestically in the streets and alleys.

"Listen up, everyone! Cease your evil deeds immediately! Otherwise, face the consequences!" a True God Puppet shouted, his voice echoing throughout the entire city.

Some Immortals were frightened by the True God's warning and stopped immediately, not daring to continue their mischief. However, others were indifferent and even provoked the True God Puppets.

"Hmph, who do you think you are? How dare you mind our business!" a Golden Immortal said arrogantly.

"We are Heavenly Soldiers, representing the power of the Heavenly Court! Anyone who dares to disobey is opposing the Heavenly Court!" the True God Puppet responded without fear.

As he spoke, the True God Puppet swung the Divine Artifact in his hand. A flash of light passed, and the Golden Immortal was killed instantly.

Seeing this, the others no longer dared to be unruly and obediently followed the True God's orders.

As time passed, the chaotic situation in the Mingyue Dynasty was gradually brought under control. The True Gods killed the evil-doing Immortals one by one.

At the same time, they also strengthened patrols in the city to ensure similar incidents would not happen again.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor Hall, Cao Yang sensed that the situation outside had stabilized.

He stood up and walked to the window, looking out at the bustling scene of the Heavenly Court, his heart filled with emotion.

"Yueer, look, everything has returned to normal," Cao Yang said with a smile to Empress Mingyue beside him.

Empress Mingyue nodded, a relieved smile appearing on her face. "Yes, Brother Cao, fortunately you are here."

"From now on, everyone within the scope of the Heavenly Court is a citizen of the Heavenly Court. As the Heavenly Emperor, I will naturally not allow such wanton killing to occur," Cao Yang said solemnly.

From then on, the Mingyue Dynasty became even more prosperous. Immortals pursued the Dao, Cultivators practiced immortality, and the common people lived and worked in peace, becoming a brilliant pearl of the Immortal Realm.

And Cao Yang, as the Heavenly Emperor, also won more respect and love because of this incident.

"Mhm, Brother Cao is still the most amazing," Chu Yueer thought, feeling relieved.

Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, the Golden Immortals and Immortal Kings who had been acting recklessly within the Mingyue Dynasty based on their own strength had all been killed.

Many experts, shrouded in the terrifying aura emitted by the True Gods, trembled uncontrollably, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Xiao Wu, go and give a warning. Inform everyone that the Mingyue Dynasty is the core area of the Heavenly Court, and wanton killing is strictly prohibited," Cao Yang instructed calmly toward the space outside the pavilion.

"As you command, Master," Tu Wu's gentle and respectful voice came from the space.

Under the pressure of these hundred thousand True Gods, those external experts at the Golden Immortal level and above within the Mingyue Dynasty were all terrified, even their breathing becoming cautious.

"I am Tu Wu, the Controller of the Heavenly Dao of the Heavenly Court. I hereby issue a warning! Warning!! The Mingyue Dynasty belongs to the core area of the Heavenly Court. Combat between Golden Immortals and stronger experts is prohibited here, and others must not kill at will. If anyone violates this, they will be directly obliterated upon discovery!" Tu Wu's clear and loud voice quickly spread throughout the entire Immortal Realm.

From this moment on, no one dared to act recklessly in the Mingyue Dynasty, and the registration and other tasks were carried out more smoothly.

Half a month passed in a flash, and the Heavenly Court had successfully recruited 100,000 Immortal Emperors and 100 million Immortal Kings, with countless Immortals below the Immortal King level.

These Immortals would become an important force for the future development of the Heavenly Court.

However, this was only the beginning.

After practicing for as long as 100 million years inside the time tower, the Heavenly Court once again reaped bountiful results.

Among them, one thousand fifth-level Heavenly God Realm Regular Heavenly Soldiers and one million fifth-level True God Realm Deputy Heavenly Soldiers stood out.

In addition, there were a massive 100 million fourth-level God Realm Heavenly Soldiers, as well as countless third-level Immortal Emperor Realm Heavenly Soldiers, second-level Immortal Saint Realm Heavenly Soldiers, and first-level Immortal Emperor Realm Heavenly Soldiers.

The strength of these newly recruited Heavenly Soldiers had been greatly improved, laying a solid foundation for the expansion of the Heavenly Court.

It is worth mentioning that because the Heavenly Soldiers were within the Heavenly Court, they were no longer affected by the Heavenly Tribulation of the Immortal Realm's Heavenly Dao when breaking through the Immortal Realm; and when they broke through to the God Realm, the Heavenly Tribulation of the Divine Realm's Heavenly Dao could not enter the Heavenly Court's range.

Once a Heavenly Tribulation touched the edge of the Heavenly Court, it would automatically disappear within the Invincible Domain.

Therefore, almost all Heavenly Soldiers who entered the time tower to break through their Realms were able to succeed.

Of course, a small number of Heavenly Soldiers unfortunately fell during the Heart Demon Tribulation.

Regarding the Heart Demon Tribulation, Cao Yang could have chosen to shield the Heavenly Soldiers from its effects, but he did not do so.

Because he knew deeply that this was the only true test the Heavenly Soldiers faced during the process of breaking through Realms.

Only by experiencing the baptism of the Heart Demon Tribulation could the Heavenly Soldiers better temper their state of mind and prepare for future battles.

Outside the time tower, Cao Yang arranged 1,000 Divine Lord Puppets and 100,000 Heavenly God Puppets to intimidate the Heavenly Soldiers who had just broken through to the God Realm, lest the newly recruited soldiers become self-important due to their sudden Breakthroughs and violate the heavenly laws.

Cao Yang also brought out a series of established heavenly laws to serve as the standard for rewarding and punishing the Heavenly Soldiers.

Heavenly Soldiers below the third level were dispatched by Cao Yang to the Immortal Realm and the Heavenly Domain. Their mission was to establish sects, found Immortal Dynasties, and Cultivate more geniuses.

These Heavenly Soldiers would contribute to the Heavenly Court in this way and accumulate Merit Points.

And these Merit Points could be used to exchange for various cultivation resources to help them improve their strength.

For those Heavenly Soldiers who had already reached the God Realm or above, their future development direction was different. They needed to rely on warfare to gain Merit Points, thereby obtaining more cultivation resources.

This meant they had to participate in battles, conquering other Middle Thousand Worlds and even the Divine Realm for the Heavenly Court to obtain higher status and rewards.

However, regardless of their level, every Heavenly Soldier could enjoy certain welfare benefits.

As members of the Heavenly Court, they would receive a salary every month. This salary was distributed in the form of cultivation resources, including Immortal Crystals, Divine Stones, Divine Crystals, Divine Herbs, Divine Pills, and so on.

Although the Heavenly Court might currently have some shortages of cultivation resources, resulting in some Heavenly Soldiers being temporarily unable to receive their full monthly salary, Cao Yang firmly believed this situation would not last long.

As time passed, the Heavenly Court would gradually fill its treasury and meet the needs of the Heavenly Soldiers.

Cao Yang divided these millions of Heavenly Soldiers into ten large-scale legions. Each legion had one hundred Heavenly Gods, one hundred thousand True Gods, and tens of millions of God Realm experts.

In addition, he also dispatched one thousand Divine Lord Puppets to assist in combat, with each legion receiving the support of one hundred Divine Lord Puppets.

It is worth mentioning that these Divine Lord Puppets were not ordinary Puppets; they would only act according to the heavenly laws of the Heavenly Court and would never commit any act that violated the rules.

The commander of the First Legion was the Peak Heavenly God Xing Yao, while the Second Legion was commanded by Liu Ruyan, the old Valley Master of Falling Flower Valley at the Peak Heavenly God Realm. The heavy responsibility of the Third Legion fell on the shoulders of Xu Cangqiong, the old Pavilion Master of Shenlin Pavilion at the Peak Heavenly God Realm.

As for the commanders of the other seven legions, they were all held by Peak Heavenly God experts from the Heavenly Domain, each leading their own legion and preparing for the upcoming battles.

These legions were stationed by Cao Yang in the central part of the Immortal Realm.
