Chapter 662: Chapter 376: Powerful Race—The Asura Clan
In addition, as a Nine-Rank Immortal Official and Patrol Envoy, Su Yu can form a team of up to 100 Celestial Soldiers to serve as Patrolling Celestial Soldiers. He can either select a team of official Celestial Soldiers from the Combat Department or train them himself.
Su Yu plans to select a batch of Celestial Soldiers from the Combat Department and then train some himself.
As a Patrol Envoy, he also has the authority to mobilize Celestial Soldiers from various outposts of the Celestial Court during missions.
He can temporarily mobilize a team of up to a thousand without any procedures, once a year.
He can apply to his superiors to mobilize a battalion of Celestial Soldiers for assistance in battles.
A battalion of Celestial Soldiers comprises at least a hundred thousand, with commanders being at least a Profound Immortal. If it’s a formal field battalion of the Celestial Court, even the Vice Commanders are Profound Immortals, possessing enough strength to deal with any non-Golden Immortal enemies.
"As for Patrolling Celestial Soldiers, just transfer them from the Combat Department."
"Better to take advantage than let it pass."
That evening, Su Yu applied to the logistics department, filled out the forms, and received a receipt the next morning:
"Please present the receipt and collect the Patrolling Celestial Soldiers at the Second Battalion within three days."
"Got it."
Su Yu put away the jade disc, thought for a moment, opened the regional channel, and sent a message:
"Newcomer reporting, Su Yu, newly appointed Nine-Rank Patrol Envoy at the North Star Palace. Please take care of me."
Having sent it, he waited there for a while with no response.
"Are humans so few in the Celestial Court?"
He smacked his lips, closed the communication, opened the Chaos Realm Gate, and turned to step inside.
He first went to the place within the Chaos Pearl where the Twisted Nest was being suppressed and saw the Star Master still suppressing it.
This thing, having incorporated Golden Nature, is incredibly hard to eliminate. Now, even after the time flow has been maximized, with seven or eight years having passed outside, it’s been seven or eight thousand years inside, and it hasn’t yet been refined—only reduced from its original diameter of two to three kilometers to just over a hundred meters.
Yet, the smaller it gets, the harder it is to refine. At the current rate, it still requires several more spans of seven or eight thousand years to be refined.
But that’s only refining the Twisted Nest. The core still contains a Golden Immortal True Spirit, and no one knows how much longer it will take to refine, not even the Star Master.
"Truly worthy of its Golden Nature immortality."
He clicked his tongue in awe and turned to the center of the Chaos Realm to begin his daily cultivation.
Vast Sea appeared before him and said:
"Xuan Yue and the others are about to undergo the True Immortal Tribulation."
Su Yu was momentarily stunned, and with a thought, his Divine Sense expanded, observing Xuan Yue and the other four women cultivating. They had all reached level 399 and were ready to face the tribulation.
"Hmm, I had been negligent."
Su Yu thought for a moment and said:
"Please wait a while. I’ve just arrived at a new place, and things are currently inconvenient."
Vast Sea softly replied:
"As long as you remember, my husband."
Her voice was gentle and sweet, soothing his ears and refreshing his heart. Suddenly disinclined to cultivate today, Su Yu looked at her and, feeling a stirring in his heart, pulled her into his embrace.
A night of passion, leaving him feeling as refreshed as ever.
The next morning, he emerged from the Chaos Pearl and headed straight to the battalion.
The Second Battalion is located to the east of the Celestial Palace, within an independent Grotto Heaven.
The exit is a colossal archway towering over ten thousand kilometers, shimmering with light, leading to a massive Grotto Heaven as vast as the Blue Mountain, brimming with Spiritual Qi and inhabited by countless monsters.
These creatures were tamed by the Celestial Court eons ago, living in this Grotto Heaven for generations. Upon reaching the fourth stage of cultivation, they can enter the Transformation Immortal Pond to cleanse their demonic aura and become Celestial Soldiers.
After untold millennia, this single Grotto Heaven has produced no fewer than ten million Celestial Soldiers.
And such Grotto Heavens count in dozens for each Star Lord of the North Star Palace.
Su Yu arrived at the battalion’s office, where ten windows were in a row, each with long lines. He randomly chose a window with fewer people to queue up.
While waiting, his gaze casually met that of a massively tall and robust True Immortal with an imposing aura but an ugly face.
Both men were momentarily stunned, sizing each other up with eyes gleaming.
"What race is this?"
This person’s skin was blood-red, topped with a pair of horns, exuding a fierce aura that far exceeded a typical True Immortal, yet had an extremely ugly appearance.
But more importantly, he was a player, a type Su Yu had never seen before.
After just a glance, both withdrew their eyes. Su Yu instinctively wanted to inquire in the regional channel, only to find it already had over a dozen replies, reminding him of his introduction there the previous day.
Scrutinizing the replies, he found only seven people among them, with the most being from Meng Dong.
"Welcome, Mr. Su. Another brother from the Human Race in the Celestial Court."
"Su Yu? That name sounds familiar. I remember a prodigy recently emerging from our race, sweeping the Fallen Star Islands and securing it for our race, becoming a general. Is it this brother?"
"Most likely."
"Then that’s impressive."
....
Having read through these replies, Su Yu immediately responded after the last message:
"My seniors, are there so few of the Human Race in the Celestial Court?"
A message promptly came in:
"The Human Race in the Celestial Court isn’t few. From my statistics, at least a thousand clansmen have joined, all Celestial Immortals or above, but most serve in various regions. Those stationed at the Celestial Court number less than a hundred in total."
"Oh!"
Then Meng Dong continued explaining, introducing the Human Race situation in the Celestial Court.
After his explanation, Su Yu gained a slight understanding of the Human Race’s situation in the Celestial Court.
Firstly, there are over a thousand Human Race players who’ve joined the Celestial Court, but most serve in various regions. Less than a hundred are based at the Celestial Court headquarters, among them one Profound Immortal, seventeen True Immortals, with the rest being Celestial Soldiers or Immortal Officials.
