Chapter 444: 280 Chapter: Eastern Army of Yulin Chapter 444: 280 Chapter: Eastern Army of Yulin Yu State.
Eastern Military Camp of Yulin Army.
Within the camp, a flurry of activity could be seen as a hundred thousand armored elite troops were slowly mobilizing and preparing to march.
A Martial Man with Body Refinent Perfection was nothing to speak of individually, ten or even a hundred such n were still insignificant, but tens of thousands to a hundred thousand elite Martial n clad in heavy armor represented a completely different concept.
These Army Soldiers were different from the elite saber wielders cultivated by the Yu Family and He Family of Yu County; not only were they well-versed in the Body Tempering Realm, but they also wore heavy armor.
Three to five of them teaming up could easily give Tendon Changing experts a headache.
As dozens charged into battle, those of the Bone Tempering Realm would want to flee at the sight of them.
...
Their surging Qi-Blood , when combined within the montum of a Military Formation, created an invisible oppression.
“So, this is the Eastern Military Camp of the Yulin Army…”
On a hilltop not far from the Eastern Military Camp, two figures stood looking into the distance at the departing troops.
One of them was Zhao Zhenchuan, and the other, clad in a purple official’s robe, was Chen Mu.
The Inspector of the Inspectorate is an official rank of fourth grade, while the Commander-in-Chief of the Yulin Army holds a regular fourth rank, which roughly corresponds to the highest rank attainable by Martial Artists below Grandmasters in Yu State.
Higher positions such as Inspector General are generally headed by Grandmasters.
The Eastern Army’s Commanding Officer, in charge of the hundred thousand Eastern troops, although not a Grandmaster, was not trained in ordinary Martial Arts but specialized in commanding troops within a Military Formation.
Such people might not be strong in single combat, but when leading a hundred thousand soldiers and setting up a formation, even a Grandmaster would not dare to confront them directly.
“Junior Brother Chen, what do you think?”
Gazing at the distant, departing Eastern Army, Zhao Zhenchuan asked Chen Mu with a smile.
Chen Mu gazed intently for a mont and said, “Such a loose formation is nothing special, but I’ve heard that the Military Formation employs the ‘Three Talents Formation,’ within which, the ‘Human Formation’ can isolate from heaven and earth.
It’s said to be even more profound than a Domain.
In such a situation, even a Martial Arts Grandmaster could be exhausted to death if trapped inside.”
From the ti a Martial Artist steps into the Five Viscera Realm, the essence of their great strength is the connection to the Power of Heaven and Earth.
If one were to be completely cut off from this power, the loss would be far more than just the strength of Artistic Conception.
Even their Yuan Gang True Essence would be daunted, unable to renew itself through the cycle of absorbing Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi, which, of course, would be extrely terrifying for any Martial Artist.
“Indeed, when a man harbors killing intent, heaven and earth turn upside down.
The cultivation in a Military Formation does not focus on controlling The Power of Heaven and Earth, but instead aims to suppress the heaven and earth with human power.
That’s why those Deputy Commanders and Commandants who have Body Tempering Cultivation in the Five Viscera or Six Viscera Realm can seem ordinary in strength when fighting alone, but confronting them within the Military Formation makes it very difficult for to gain any advantage.”
With a chuckle, Zhao Zhenchuan said, “Alright, let’s go over there.”
“Okay.”
Chen Mu nodded slightly and left the hillside with Zhao Zhenchuan to head towards the mobilizing Eastern Army.
As the two n did not deliberately hide their presence and did not approach too closely, they were already spotted by the Military Formation, which caused the nearest few thousand n to imdiately stop advancing.
What had been a loose Military Formation quickly solidified.
The robust Qi-Blood of several thousand troops seed to converge all at once, making Chen Mu feel as though he was facing not individuals but a single entity.
Before long, a General Officer clad in armor erged from the formation and approached Chen Mu and Zhao Zhenchuan with a clasped hand salute, saying, “Greetings to Inspector Zhao and Commander Chen.
I am Right Army Deputy Commander Guo Hao.
Please follow to verify your identities.”
“Thank you, Deputy Commander Guo, for leading the way.”
Zhao Zhenchuan returned the salute to Guo Hao.
The Yulin Army reports to Yu State’s State Governnt Office and the various counties, as well as to the Seven Profound Sect’s peaks.
These form the three separate power structures within Yu State.
Although they all fall under the dominion of the Seven Profound Sect, the Yulin Army has the strongest autonomy, with their own promotion and training systems.
Except in the special period of mobilization and deploynt, they seldom interact with the officials from the Seven Profound Sect or the State Governnt.
It is only during comprehensive deploynts that the Seven Profound Sect, for the sake of facilitating the tasks of many protectors like Chen Mu, will directly assign the roles of ‘Sect Protector,’ ‘Inspectorate Office Position,’ and ‘Yulin Military Rank’ to the protectors of the peaks.
This allows them to move freely among the Seven Peaks, the official circles of the State, and the Yulin Army.
Soon.
Chen Mu and Zhao Zhenchuan both entered the Military Formation.
However, as soon as Chen Mu stepped in, he could clearly sense that his own aura was incompatible with the aura of the entire Eastern Military Camp of the Yulin Army.
Though the Military Formation had not yet fully activated to isolate and suppress The Power of Heaven and Earth, he could still feel the connection between himself and the universe becoming much fuzzier.
“Indeed, it’s extraordinary.
If I were to fight in a situation where I could not harness the cycle of Heaven and Earth’s Yuan Qi to sustain my Inner Breath, with my current strength, I could at most break through a formation of a thousand n.
If tens of thousands of n surrounded heavily, I would eventually be exhausted of my Inner Breath.”
“However, if I were to achieve Grandmaster level, even thousands or tens of thousands of n wouldn’t be able to easily trap .”
Chen Mu contemplated the nearby changes, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face.
At this mont.
He carefully experienced the structure of the Military Formation, and faint insights began to form.
After all, the Military Formation is itself a manifestation of Artistic Conception, its essence belonging to the ‘Three Talents Artistic Conception,’ which includes the cosmos, earth, and man.
“A very extraordinary kind of…
Martial Arts.”
Chen Mu had not had previous exposure to Military Formations.
Although he had heard about them and studied them in various texts, his understanding was not deep.
Now that he was within it, imrsed in the experience, he could appreciate its profound mystery.
