Chapter 638 - 369: Joining the Celestial Court, Stationed as a Celestial Soldier 3
Chapter 638: Chapter 369: Joining the Celestial Court, Stationed as a Celestial Soldier 3
After listening to his introduction, Su Yu pondered for a moment and said:
"Choose the second option, let’s station at the Wuding Mountain Range."
"Sure."
The reason for choosing the Wuding Mountain Range was because it reminded him of a mission back when he first joined the Profound Clarity Upper Sect, where he gained great benefits from a fragment of the Grotto Heaven.
Choosing to be stationed here, he could practice in seclusion when idle and explore those Grotto Heaven fragments during his spare time, searching for secrets of the Wuding Immortal Dynasty.
According to Star Master Fang Hong, the Wuding Immortal Dynasty was quite unusual and contained many treasures. If he had the chance to obtain the core fragment of the Wuding Grotto Heaven, he would indeed prosper.
Early the next morning, everyone gathered as the recruitment officer arrived to announce their deployment locations.
As expected, Su Yu was assigned to station at the Wuding Mountain Range and directly became a team leader, able to command a squad of Celestial Soldiers.
Along with him was another horn-scaled person. They were led by a service soldier to the teleportation platform. As the space shifted, they opened their eyes again to find themselves at the Wuding Mountain Range outpost.
The outpost was located atop a giant peak over a hundred kilometers tall, leveled flat with a diameter of about ten kilometers and protected by a fifth-tier City Defense Array. Many structures were built upon it, bustling with people.
Though a garrison of the Celestial Court, it was also a large marketplace. Due to the advantage of having a Teleportation Array, most players active in the Wuding Mountain Range preferred to travel through here to other places.
After being teleported here with another horn-scaled person and completing a series of formalities, Su Yu became a member of this post.
This outpost had over two hundred stationed soldiers. The post leader was a Snake-man Race True Immortal named Yuan, and two vice leaders were both ninth-grade Celestial Immortals, one from the Human Race and the other from the Celestial Eye People, with the post divided into ten teams of about twenty people each. Su Yu took over as the leader of the seventh team, whose leader had just been moved.
The other horn-scaled person who arrived with Su Yu was not a team leader, just an ordinary Celestial Soldier.
For someone like Su Yu to become a team leader upon arrival, only the direct disciples of elites above Profound Immortal or the heirs of major sects in the Cyan Immortal Domain received such treatment.
The two of them arrived, and after the post leader, vice leaders, and various team leaders briefly welcomed them, there was no further follow-up. Only one Human Race vice leader, Duan Moye, and the fifth team leader, Guo Yun, expressed their welcome and friendship towards him.
"General Su, let me first take you to the seventh team."
Su Yu asked speechlessly:
"You know me?"
Duan Moye and Guo Yun laughed:
"What are you saying? Newly promoted general in our race and a prodigy of the Human Race, how could we at Celestial Pillar Mountain not know about you? Your achievements are very well known to us."
"Alright, let’s keep it low-key, don’t let outsiders know."
"There’s no need to worry. Even if they know about your achievements, it won’t matter. Those below Profound Immortal can’t do anything to you, and those above can’t act rashly."
"Still, it’s better to stay low-key."
Duan Moye nodded with a smile, enthusiastically leading him to the barracks of the seventh team.
The barracks occupied half of the outpost, divided into ten quarters, with each team allotted one quarter.
The quarters were constructed with Spirit Jade, located at the Spiritual Qi nodes of the main array, with an abundance of Spiritual Qi supplied for their cultivation.
"The Spiritual Qi node for each team supplies 10 billion points of Spiritual Qi and 100,000 Dao points per day. As the leader, you can decide the distribution of Spiritual Qi, usually taking fifty percent for yourself."
"Additionally, your team is newly reformed. The original leader and his subordinates had an accident while exploring a Grotto Heaven fragment, with half of the twenty Celestial Soldiers perishing, resulting in them being penalized and transferred out. Half of the current Celestial Soldiers are new replacements."
Duan Moye gave him a detailed tour of the quarters and provided an introduction.
"We don’t have many tasks while stationed here, just two patrols a year, once mid-year and once at the end, each lasting a month."
Saying that, he suddenly stopped speaking and instead communicated telepathically:
"Actually, patrols can even be skipped. When new clan members are assigned here, you can let them take your place for the patrol."
Su Yu was surprised:
"Is that really possible?"
"Of course it is. Nothing major has happened at this outpost in tens of thousands of years, it’s a completely safe zone. As long as nothing goes wrong, there’s no problem with slacking off."
"So no one causes trouble?"
Su Yu also asked quietly through telepathy:
"With so many races at the outpost, isn’t there any internal strife?"
Duan Moye laughed:
"There’s definitely some internal strife, but within limits. Everyone slacks off, no one is looking to make things difficult for themselves."
"Besides, if something significant happens, everyone shares the blame, no one can remain uninvolved."
"Oh."
At this moment, Guo Yun struck the bell at the door of the quarters, causing the doors to swing open as twenty Celestial Soldiers swiftly assembled.
All were tall and robust; even while resting, they wore standard inner armor and casual outfits of the Celestial Court, appearing exceptionally well-formed and resembling the Human Race by seven or eight points, making it difficult for Su Yu to discern their spirit monster transformations.
These Celestial Soldiers were all transformed from spirit monsters above level 300 using the Immortal Pond, sharing a uniform elite template without one among them displaying the fearsome template.
The levels were also unusually consistent, all around level 310.
"Not bad, with a generational advantage, suppressing players below Immortal should pose no issue."
Su Yu held his identification token, speaking in a deep voice:
"From now on, I am the leader of the seventh team."
Immediately, a resounding response echoed in unison:
"Good day, Leader!"
Su Yu nodded, loudly declaring:
"From now on, seventy percent of the barracks’ Spiritual Qi will be allocated to everyone."
"Long live the Leader!"
Visible acknowledgment manifested.
These Celestial Soldiers, though transformed from spirit monsters via the Immortal Pond without high-level templates, had indeed crossed the boundary separating Immortals and Mortals, fundamentally differing from ordinary beings and bear a substantial distinction from spirit monsters below Celestial Immortal.
