Chapter 1886 - 1890: This Is Not a Game
Sword Island Mine.
The concealments around the secret transmission array were all removed.
Similarly, the transmission array, which usually emitted light only at fixed times, was now shining brightly without ever dimming.
Accompanying the dazzling light was a team after team of cultivators.
They excitedly entered this unfamiliar island.
Although they immediately felt a sense of alienation from this island, causing their power to decrease by about thirty percent, they didn’t care in the slightest.
Because they knew that once Lord Lu arrived, their strength would be restored.
So they instinctively wanted to shout and announce their arrival to the island!
They were about to conquer this island!
However, the surrounding hundred thousand iron cavalry immediately signaled them to shut up.
Immediately, this group reluctantly fell silent.
They knew that although the cultivation of these hundred thousand iron cavalry could not match theirs, they were directly under Lord Lu’s absolute command!
If the hierarchy on Gourd Island was to be carefully divided, these hundred thousand iron cavalry would certainly be of the highest rank!
Therefore, they obediently closed their mouths and waited at the designated place under the guidance of the hundred thousand iron cavalry.
The light of the transmission array continued to flicker non-stop, and the cultivators filed in, also being warned to keep quiet and taken to their designated spots.
For a full three days.
The transmission array shone continuously for three days and nights, until nearly half a million strong of the cultivator army had fully arrived here.
Still, they maintained that mixture of excitement and laxity.
There’s no helping it, you couldn’t expect them to act like a real army.
And after the cultivator army was fully transported, the dazzling light of the transmission continued.
However, this time, it was the real army that arrived.
A hundred thousand warriors from the Dragon Group, acting as the vanguard force, were the last to enter Sword Island.
Immediately, the difference in rank was obvious.
The hundred thousand warriors of the Dragon Group didn’t even need warnings from the hundred thousand iron cavalry; they remained silent, neatly forming ranks, acting in unison as if they were one person.
Finally, all combat forces had been successfully teleported over.
Fortunately, this place was a vast mine, desolate and uninhabited, with enough space; otherwise, the seventy thousand people including the hundred thousand iron cavalry wouldn’t have been able to fit!
Finally, Xin Lifeng arrived.
After Xin Lifeng arrived, he respectfully stood beside the transmission array awaiting.
The next moment, Lu Xiaobu’s figure appeared within the transmission array.
At the instant Lu Xiaobu appeared, the entire Sword Island seemed to tremble.
This wasn’t a fictional description, but a real tremor that everyone felt!
Instantly, these cultivators were thrilled!
Was Sword Island actually scared of Lord Lu?!
Then they were sure to win!
Immediately, the battle intent in their eyes grew more and more frenzied!
Lu Xiaobu watched this scene and chuckled.
Of course, he wouldn’t tell these cultivators who hadn’t reached that level that this was merely the core’s instinctive reaction. Similarly, when other Mahayanas entered Gourd Island, Gourd Island would also tremble.
He didn’t really possess some kingly aura that with just a slight tremor would change the color of the world!
There’s simply no need to explain these things.
And as Lu Xiaobu appeared, an invisible force began to spread outward centered on him.
This was Lu Xiaobu’s domain, a domain that appeared because he had gained some core control.
As the domain spread from him, it sensed the power on those cultivators belonging to the same core and further propagated outward until it enveloped the furthest cultivators.
In essence, the domain covering all of Gourd Island here wasn’t solely Lu Xiaobu’s domain, but one formed by merging and extending the core power from these cultivators with him at its center.
If it were solely his own, the extent of the domain wouldn’t be this large.
Still, just like before, it’s unnecessary to tell these cultivators; even if told, they wouldn’t understand!
They only felt that the power lost upon leaving Gourd Island had returned, even faintly feeling stronger!
Thus, their fighting spirit surged even more wildly!
This feeling was indeed true.
On Gourd Island, they simply passively connected to the core to exert their power.
But right now, Lu Xiaobu not only restored this connection but also distributed part of his control, thereby strengthening their power!
Essentially, if Lu Xiaobu could grasp more core control, he could provide an even greater boost to these people!
If Lu Xiaobu were to fully control the core, then as long as they were within his domain, should he wish it, even an ordinary person could achieve near miraculous feats!
This was also one reason why the Spirit Realm was so frenzied!
The more core control, the more benefits!
"Alright, the commander for this stage isn’t me, but your Sword General, Xin Lifeng. I’ll only be here to watch and serve as your source of strength."
Lu Xiaobu’s voice was not loud but calmly spread out, and then he sat on a chair that appeared behind him.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to or couldn’t command, but rather that his attention was too divided.
After all, maintaining a domain covering the seventy thousand, while he served merely as a medium, still consumed a significant amount of his mental energy.
Under such circumstances, he was truly unable to divert his attention. Handling a few issues might be fine, but trying to maintain the domain while steering the entire battle was pure fantasy!
Immediately, everyone’s gaze shifted from Lu Xiaobu to Xin Lifeng, accompanied by heavy breathing!
Feeling these looks filled with battle frenzy, Xin Lifeng’s heart was racing as well.
After calming down, he looked at Lu Xiaobu, wanting to speak.
However, Lu Xiaobu simply waved his hand: "The hundred thousand iron cavalry will also follow your orders, I won’t intervene."
"Yes!"
Xin Lifeng immediately accepted the order!
This is exactly what he wanted, he had long understood this direct regiment of Lord Lu!
Just in terms of pure combat ability, they were not at the top of the rankings.
But in many other aspects, these people were indispensable.
Without Lord Lu’s orders, there was no way he could command this regiment.
Now things were great!
Of course, he still had to be careful, and try to minimize any casualties from this unit!
He knew deeply how much this unit was valued by Lord Lu.
Yet similarly, he also understood that casualties might be unavoidable!
After all, this is war, not a game!
