CapĂtulo 1912: Chapter 1425: Anchoring
âSince the secret technique is complete, I should return to the court and report to Father, to see how he plans to arrange matters.â As he spoke these words, a relaxed smile unwittingly appeared on the face of the Third Prince.
âPlease, Your Highness, hold on!â
Just as he was about to leave happily, the Confucian Saint spoke up, saying: âHis Majesty has already ordered that once the secret technique succeeds, Your Highness must immediately deploy it without delay.â
The smile on the Third Princeâs face instantly froze, but given his understanding of his father, this arrangement was indeed something he would do.
âIf thatâs the case, then Iâll follow Fatherâs orders.â
What else could he do? He had no right to resist, nor did he dare defy the Emperorâs command.
âPlease!â The Confucian Saint smiled slightly and pointed to another place.
As for the experimental space-time rift, it was not given much attention by the people, as verifying it consumed quite a bit of time. Sending and deploying troops would take several hours.
Thus, the space-time rift that could be maintained for a day and a night directly wasted half a day.
âTeacher, could we go and see this Outer World?â A disciple of the Hundred Schools asked expectantly.
The teacher nodded in agreement, âThis is intended as a trial for you. If youâre ready, go ahead.â
The initial secret technique for space-time travel didnât require a lot of spiritual objects, but they needed to add spiritual objects to extend the existence of the space-time rift.
Though not excessively precious, they couldnât let these spiritual objects be wasted. So they simply allowed the outstanding disciples of the Hundred Schools to explore and see if they could acquire resources from the opposite world to compensate for the consumption.
Moreover, they could use this opportunity to experiment with a particular idea. If successful, it would greatly benefit their future exploration of the Outer World!
It could even turn simple world exploration and rapid resource collection into world conquest, turning an entire world into their territory!
And this idea was to open a space-time rift leading to a specific world.
However, for now, it was merely a thought and hadnât commenced, as they were still deducing the most fundamental methods and had never performed a world crossover, lacking experimental materials.
The disciples of the Hundred Schools quickly entered the space-time rift, and the originally crowded valley suddenly became much more spacious.
âI wonder if theyâll encounter dangerâŠâ
âExploring a world inevitably involves danger. With their skills, they should be able to handle it calmly.â
âJust hope they remember the time and donât get delayed by something.â
âŠ
A sense of concern was inevitable among their teachers regarding these trials for the new generation of outstanding disciples, but just as uncut jade doesnât become a tool, they needed to face certain tests to grow.
Meanwhile, the Third Prince, by virtue of his Token, had already assembled an army of ten thousand wielding the Black Flag of Xuanwu to come forth.
Suddenly, the surrounding environment underwent dramatic changes, and the warlike atmosphere of the battlefield brought a random stillness among the people.
âIs this the Xuanshan Army?â
One of the four most elite armies of Daqian, which was also the best at defense, able to hold out amidst an enemy force of a hundred thousand for three days without defeat!
Someone expressed surprise but lowered their voice as they spoke; others had unchanged expressions, seeming to have known of this beforehand.
âIt seems His Majesty places great emphasis on this secret techniqueâŠâ
âOf course! Currently, the territory in the Southern Domain is almost fixed. Without major changes, the imperial court would pay too high a price to expand.â
Yet the emergence of the secret technique for crossover made this Emperor see another way to expand territory and increase the populace, which was to conquer worlds!
âBut right now itâs only the initial success of the secret technique. Is it a bit too hasty to send such an army?â
âIndeed, even if the other side of the rift is a dangerous place, deploying the Xuanshan Army seems unnecessary.â
An elite army is not just in words but can excel in many aspects.
This was also the suspicion in the hearts of the many cultivators from the Hundred Schools present. The space-time rift could only last a day and a night, and even with the strength of the Xuanshan Army, they couldnât sweep across an entire world in such a short time.
The move to dispatch a ten thousand strong ace army seemed to be making a big deal out of it.
But no one thought it was a mistake by the current Emperor; they believed there must be some unknown deep meaning, like a mysterious plan!
Nearly a hundred spells had made the Third Princeâs mastery of the spell well-ingrained and become muscle memory; with just a lift of his hand, he knew exactly what to do.
Soon, a space-time rift square in shape appeared before everyone.
âXuanshan Army! Advance!â
Under the order of the commanding officer, the armyâs speed was incredibly fast, and in an instant, this army completely vanished.
âIndeed, it is worthy of being one of Daqianâs four elite powers, the Xuanshan Army!â Someone expressed such admiration once again.
âWhere has the Third Prince gone?â
Suddenly, a voice emerged from the crowd.
The crowd was startled and hurriedly searched around, indeed unable to spot him, causing a stir of panic within their hearts about how to explain this.
âDo not panic, the Third Prince hasnât disappeared; he too entered the space-time rift and should be in another world now.â Someone said calmly.
