Free Web NovelChapter 491: Chapter 87: Recruiting Cangjie
"And the one named True Martial’s Unity Realm, the leader said wait for her to come, any request not involving major military matters."
"Can be approved."
Upon hearing the words of the Nine Heavens Profound Lady, Li Mu was delighted to learn about Cangjie’s arrival at the frontline.
He too was aware of Cangjie’s prowess, even his talent in formations couldn’t compare.
What Master Cang realizes is ’Literary Technique,’ a technique akin to ’One Thought Creation.’ The powers held by other Human Immortals often resonate with their mastered forces.
Like him as ’General,’ related to military; Chi Songzi’s ’Wind and Rain,’ related to his Wind and Rain Technique.
Meanwhile, Master Cang’s ’Literary Technique’ relates to ’Law,’ indeed.
Just ’Law.’
Previously, they didn’t understand the harmony of literature; for Master Cang, literature is a means to inscribe the Heaven and Earth Path.
Now, without realizing the ’Literary Dao,’ he can only call it ’Literary Technique.’
But Literary Technique also inscribes the law of the heavens; any law that Master Cang comprehends can be penned down via Literary Technique.
That’s truly terrifying.
"With Master Cang’s arrival, no matter how ferocious Jiuli’s assault is, we have respite for a while." Li Mu breathed a sigh of relief.
With curiosity, he asked, "What does the Unity Realm of the True Martial Dao Lineage imply?
Divine Techniques that appear miraculous? How powerful must it be to warrant the leader’s attention?"
Li Mu certainly wouldn’t question Xuanyuan’s judgment, as he previously stated.
He’s meant to be a general, a commander, not a king.
If he fully understood the leader’s intent, he wouldn’t need to wield the whip for the leader’s military command.
But he couldn’t follow everything; the leader has considerations, and he must mind his responsibilities.
The leader said anything could be approved, but the scope of ’anything’ naturally requires Li Mu to discern himself.
He needs to grasp the extent of True Martial’s abilities to delineate this ’anything.’
The Nine Heavens Profound Lady, with a peculiar expression and a hint of surprise, said: "The leader mentioned True Martial’s mastery of a technique called ’Substitute’ which can enshroud soldiers.
Transferring their damage onto herself, and she trains in techniques of defense and recovery independently."
"Moreover, due to her constitution, the same type of attack on this technique cannot form a second strike."
Li Mu quickly comprehended the Nine Heavens Profound Lady’s statement, and his expression turned surprised.
"Is there really such a technique?"
"The leader has already tested it, but due to its limited availability in the tribe, further assessment awaits True Martial’s arrival."
Li Mu, upon learning that such a technique exists, indeed felt astonished.
But contemplating that it stems from the renowned True Martial Dao Lineage which opposed the rampant Demon Race in the Great Wilderness, having such techniques seems only natural.
This resolves the shortage of mid to lower tier combat power.
"No wonder the leader insists on this; with this figure, a thousand troops could be amassed."
Li Mu didn’t view from a leader’s perspective but from a general’s standpoint.
Though it’s merely a technique, not a law.
For the lower-rank soldiers, they don’t constantly face laws either.
"Fortune favors the wise."
Chi Songzi and others also breathed a sigh of relief.
...
"Cangjie?"
On the slowly advancing Jiuli defense line, Shen Fei had Little Pu use the Stabbing Immortal as a relay to quickly learn of Cangjie’s move to the frontline.
Of course, True Martial was among them.
He undeniably understood True Martial’s motive, merely intending to form an inertia thought in the Youxiong Tribe.
In the future, if all defenses were entrusted to True Martial, once True Martial withdrew cover.
In an instant.
The Youxiong army could be obliterated, a stark contrast to shattering defenses.
Breaking defenses takes time.
Enough time to flee or construct other defenses, rarely causing loss.
But if defenses were immediate, withdrawal when attack nears.
Ninety-nine percent could hardly react, while gaining trust might delay Jiuli’s assault.
Though Shen Fei hastens to conquer Youxiong, speed remains constant.
Indeed, it serves as a challenge, like Zhenyi City. Without the Drought Demoness emerging, Youxiong’s forces could face significant encumbrance.
Youxiong might then become helpless.
But the Drought Fiend emerged there, had it been reality, Shen Fei would attribute it to heaven’s favor.
Fortunately arrived at the brink, perhaps Youxiong is heaven’s chosen.
Yet in the Ancient Secret Realm, it’s both heaven’s and someone’s favor.
Seems the orchestrator lingers on delaying Shen Fei’s trial culmination, thus the Drought Fiend ’coincidentally’ appears.
’Who crafts this Ancient Secret Realm, its authenticity so remarkable, its elusiveness truly formidable.’
Shen Fei couldn’t help expressing, this Ancient Secret Realm genuinely resembles a real world, both in characters and dynamics.
Yet, it felt covertly controlled, like the spontaneous awakening of ’Qin Wan,’ and this conveniently appearing Drought Fiend.
Acknowledging, the Ancient Secret Realm functions as a trial arena, thus manipulable.
"This works, a betting chip for success or failure. But Cangjie I don’t comprehend, requiring Shennong and the others."
Shen Fei knew of the historical Cangjie, the creator of characters, yet in the Great Wilderness complexity prevails.
Even Xuanyuan emphasizes him; although merely a Human Immortal, there’s uniqueness.
Once Shennong and others arrived and learned of Cangjie approaching the front, Shennong felt amazed.
"Even Cangjie joins this battle? This makes the High Priest’s fight arduous."
Shen Fei felt puzzled, Shennong is True Immortal, Cangjie just a Human Immortal.
Shennong’s remark conveyed difficulty?
Also, Shennong expressed surprise over Cangjie’s decision to join?
Isn’t Cangjie affiliated with the Youxiong Tribe?
After Shennong explained Cangjie’s relation with Youxiong, Shen Fei’s gaze flickered.
"Moreover, Cangjie’s mastery of laws, if fully unleashed, could hinder True Immortals momentarily.
His presence might suppress numerous Human Immortals’ laws."
Shen Fei remarked, truly Wen Sheng remains Wen Sheng, exceptional in the Great Wilderness.
Unexpectedly, there exists such distinct laws of ’Literary Technique.’
"If others sensed the Heaven and Earth Laws, like Gonggong, Zhurong.
Typically, Human Immortals fabricate laws, thus once comprehending Dao, they might step into True Immortal Realm."
"These True Immortals, even future paths hold promise."
Listening to Shennong’s lofty appraisal, Shen Fei impulsively inquired, "Given Cangjie’s feeble relation with Youxiong, can we entice him to our side?"
"Entice?"
Shennong hesitated momentarily, suddenly it seemed feasible.
