Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 749 - 743: How to Infiltrate?

Chapter 749 -743: How to Infiltrate?

The outcome between the Immortal Gods instantly affected the massive army battle below!

Normally, in a war where the forces are evenly matched with no clear advantage, the outcome would typically be decided by the Cultivator Army and the Plant Army on the ground, and only then would the Immortals in the sky gradually differentiate victory and defeat due to the situation of the battle.

Such a rapid and overwhelming defeat with still so many Gods present was exceedingly rare!

At least in the current wars waged by the Biluo Great World, no similar situation has ever occurred.

But defeat is defeat, the outcome had already been determined. No matter how incomprehensive or indignant the Plant Army felt, they couldn’t change the conclusion that had already become reality!

Therefore, the vast but dispirited Plant Army, having lost their will to fight and even falling into panic, completely collapsed. Countless Plant Forces who had not even engaged in battle turned heel and fled without ever seeing a Cultivator’s face!

Even though their numbers were still no less than the Cultivator Army, without the support of the Gods, they lost their confidence to counter the Cultivators and scattered in a hasty retreat, thus welcoming the pursuit and slaughter by the great army of Cultivators.

Kill, kill, kill…

The Cultivators killed with unbridled excitement!

Winning a battle with the wind at their backs hardly required any skill. Even though some seasoned and prudent Elders were still calling for the Sect Disciples to maintain formation, and not to solely focus on pursuing the enemy and becoming separated from the main army—lest they fall into an ambush and suffer heavy losses—

Where could there be any ambush?

From the moment the Plant Army began their comprehensive defeat, they had completely lost the courage to confront the Cultivators. Those who ran slow and fell behind were all killed by the Cultivators. This led to the Plant Spirits in front, scrambling to escape from the merciless pursuit of the Cultivator Army.

Furthermore, with no mighty beings organizing a counterattack, there was no such thing as an ambush. The Cultivators simply needed to catch up and engage in a frenzy of slaughter. The majority of the panicked Plant Spirits had forgotten to resist. If they weren’t killed, they surrendered. Naturally, there was no danger for the Cultivator Army!

They pursued and slaughtered for thousands of miles, leaving behind countless bodies of Plant Spirits along the way.

However, in this frenzied killing spree, the Cultivators were unusually restrained from bloodlust.

It wasn’t that their Daoist Hearts were unwavering, nor that they had become numb to life and death, nor that the Elders from various Sects had instructed them well. Every Disciple within the Cultivator Army remained exceptionally calm.

The reason all the Cultivators were so composed was because the bodily structures of Plant Spirits are different from common beings.

For normal beings, even Monsters or Abyss Demons, if there were corpses strewn everywhere and rivers of blood from the killing, the Cultivators would instinctively feel disturbed emotions, affected by the blood and slaughter, becoming frenzied.

But slaying Plant Spirits was somewhat akin to chopping wood or cutting grass and flowers. Most importantly, even if some liquids flowed out due to their bodies being split in two, it was seldom the color of fresh red, reducing a significant psychological burden on the Cultivators. Besides, very few of the Plant Spirits took on a humanoid form, which even lessened psychological strain.

People might feel discomfort at the sight of dead animals everywhere, but certainly not from seeing the ground littered with withered branches and leaves.

Thus, this pursuit not only did not damage the Daoist Hearts of the various Sect Disciples, but instead, their confidence soared with victory. The chase not only captured millions from the Plant Army, but also harvested countless Plant Spirit corpses, which left all the Cultivators immensely pleased.

The so-called Plant Spirits, in the Cultivation World, were essentially various Cultivated Tree Demons. Some extraordinary beings could even be considered as Spirit Roots.

The corpses of these Tree Demons each had their uses. Many possessed strong medicinal properties and bore various Spirit Fruits on their branches and leaves, which could all be used for Alchemy. It was just that, within this realm, the Plant Spirits themselves didn’t conceive of something like the Spiritual Elixir, so they were unaware of this fact.

But within the Cultivator Army were many Cultivators skilled in seeking medicinal plants, so they quickly identified the different plants!

Apart from the vegetation with various medicinal effects, there were those that contained potent toxins—equally of great significance. They not only could be refined for their toxins to prepare Poison Pills but could also be used to raise Spiritual Beasts or Poison Insects, meant for Cultivators who practiced the Poison Dao.

At the very least, the Five Poisons Sect and the smaller Sects who paid them allegiance quite favored Mushroom Men and various toxic Plant Spirits. With these, they could cultivate large quantities of Poison Insects and, using the Tree Demon corpses, breed Strange Insects specialized in combating all sorts of flora. With the speed these insects consumed vegetation, countless Plant Spirits would tremble in fear.

Besides that, the corpses of other Plant Spirits were not without use.

Within these entities were things akin to Energy Crystals condensed in their heartwood, and they could also serve as Artifact Refining Material.

This was the ability of Cultivators—they could utilize every viable resource between heaven and earth, and in this aspect, they were countless times superior to those Plant Spirits that only knew how to absorb nature’s Spiritual Energy and draw energy from the soil.

Even compared to the various Tree Demons in the Cultivation World, the Plant Spirits of the Canglan Realm were lacking!

After the war, numerous Cultivators, led by the Elders of their sects, cleaned the battlefield, collected Plant corpses, and herded the captives back to Chaotian Palace.

Of course, the captives would not be taken into the Cave Heaven World of Chaotian Palace; at most, they would be interrogated thoroughly, and once the cultivators understood the situation of this realm, they would implant prohibitions into their bodies, forcing them to become laborers serving the cultivators!

In the Chaotian Palace, all immortals gathered together, with two ancestors seated high above.

On ordinary days, only a few high-ranking members from each sect would discuss matters with the two elders, but today was a celebration of a great victory and also a time to discuss the next steps. Thus, all immortals now had seats before the two elders!

“This great victory indeed calls for celebration!”

Beimang Ancestor chuckled and said, “You’ve all worked hard, defeating so many divine beings in such a short time is no easy feat.”

“The ancestor flatters us!”

Elder Qingming frowned and said, “Although we won this battle, the victory seems rather muddled; the gods of this realm do not appear united, almost as if someone was manipulating things behind the scenes, intentionally losing to us!”

“Indeed, there is something odd about this battle.”

Elder Liuling frowned slightly and said, “Those divine beings surely knew the consequences of defeat in an inter-dimensional war; if they failed, there would be no good end for them. Why they would do this requires deep reflection!”

Fiery Fire Sect Hierarch, who had been grinning broadly since the fight—where he displayed great divine power, faced three opponents alone, and emerged with the upper hand, achieving a bountiful harvest—had been in a state of great excitement, feeling that this expedition was going very smoothly. If all their enemies were plant gods like these, he and his subordinates from the Fiery Fire Sect could definitely leverage fire element cultivation techniques to earn significant achievements in the war and, consequently, acquire more rewards for their merits!

However, upon hearing Elder Qingming and Liuling’s words, he instantly sensed something was amiss.

He might be a bit hot-tempered, but he was no fool; he spoke up, “That’s right, there are two immortals of the Immortal Realm in this world; could it be they are causing trouble in secret, or is there some sort of conspiracy?”

“It doesn’t matter!”

Chaotian Ancestor said with a faint smile, “Whatever their scheming may be, we just need to keep crushing everything in our path. We’ll defeat all plant armies along the way, and even if those two top-level divine beings appear in the end, what could they do?

As long as they are not united, we will find our opportunity. Once we defeat the races of this realm and their strength greatly diminishes, their qi fortune slipping away, even if those two top-level divine beings join forces, they won’t escape cheaply.”

Having said this, Chaotian Ancestor paused for a while before continuing, “After this battle, you all must have noticed as well—while this realm’s beings are diverse in species, their power attributes are relatively simple. Moreover, they’re ignorant of various arts, not adept at using divine weapons, and on all accounts, they are vastly inferior to us cultivators.

Therefore, this war should be swift rather than slow; we must break them before these plant spirits manage to adapt, and minimize casualties among our disciples as much as possible!”

“The ancestor speaks the utmost truth!”

All immortals nodded in agreement.

“Then let us discuss the next battle!”

The two ancestors, who had lived through the Ancient Great Tribulation, were never about dilly-dallying; they immediately began outlining the next phase of the war.

“Based on what the captured plant spirits have disclosed, we already have a fair understanding of the Canglan Realm. Although those captives might be too weak to know the true secrets, these details alone can give us a significant advantage in the upcoming battles!”

Beimang Ancestor said gravely, “While the beings of this realm still know little about us, we must seize as much territory as possible, defeat more races, and prepare for the final battle.

Additionally, we need to dispatch some specialists to infiltrate deep behind enemy lines to gather precise information. After all, it’s far too strange that none of the many prisoners interrogated knew about the second top-level divine being—such a high-status figure should not be without reputation in any realm.

Furthermore, the mutated monsters and plants mentioned by those prisoners definitely did not emerge out of thin air; they must have some cause!

Thus, we need cultivators with special talents to sneak into the enemy’s rear and gather intelligence!”

Upon hearing this, the immortals looked at each other in dismay.

After a long pause, someone frowned and said, “If it were any other world, it would be fine; we could even disguise ourselves in the Demon Realm since some of the Demon Clan’s life forms resemble humans to some extent.

But the beings of this realm are far too special, being either flowers, trees, or even moss that can become spirits. How could we transform and infiltrate such plant races to gather intelligence?”
