It's uncertain when the Three Realms War will begin, but Shen Xiang could tell from the actions of the major sect leaders that there was still some time before this war. Otherwise, they wouldn't be cultivating their disciples calmly like they were at the moment. For example, Gudongchen had purchased many foundation-stage pills from Shen Xiang.

Shen Xiang decided to cultivate a small True Martial Realm army himself, consisting of roughly one hundred people. He was only planning this out for now and would wait until the King Dao Conference ended before collecting some spirit medicines to refine better pills. He couldn't rely solely on foundation-stage pills, and he also needed other good pills.

The ten-day rest period passed quickly. Shen Xiang arrived at the King Dao Continent a day earlier than planned with Gudongchen and Wukaiming. Shen Xiang was only in one of the cities on King Dao Continent, and he hadn’t been to any other part of it. He was cautious about wandering around lest he cause trouble.

Shen Xiang entered a luxurious hall, and inside were fifty-one other martial artists from the King Dao Continent. He recognized some of them since they often surrounded Wangquan, who he suspected had high scores.

When Shen Xiang arrived, forty or so young disciples looked at him. It made Shen Xiang feel strange because he felt like a rabbit being stared at by a group of wolves.

Among the fifty-one young disciples, there were over ten women. Shen Xiang did not expect the women on King Dao Continent to be so strong, capable of entering the top fifty.

"Now we'll begin announcing what you will compete in for the next round. This is your test! The main aspect of this competition is speed, as you need to determine who can reach the designated area fastest. Even if you win," Wangquan said.

Shen Xiang secretly smiled to himself because he had won the speed competition at Taiwu Sect using Vermillion Bird Flame Wings before. Now, he could use it again.

"I'll tell you the rules now. Along your way to the designated location, you cannot cause conflicts or block others' progress. Also, there will be many obstacles set along the way. Our spirit beasts from our Beast Taming Hall might hinder you and attack you, or some extreme-stage disciples of the Divine Martial Hall could also block your path. You must defeat them to continue moving forward. Of course, if you have the ability, you can avoid all of this." Wangquan explained.

Shen Xiang wasn't afraid of the beasts and was curious to see what a Vajra Lion Eagle was like, as he had read that it had the body of a lion, wings of an eagle, claws and beak like those of an eagle, and its feathers were as hard as diamond but very light. Flying speed was extremely fast, especially when flying in groups, making them the rulers of the sky.

When Wangquan mentioned that Vajra Lion Eagles would be blocking their path, everyone was slightly surprised. They knew the fate that awaited them when facing thousands of these beasties.

"Wangquan said there would be thousands of Vajra Lion Eagles" Shen Xiang was surprised by hearing this.

"Vajra Lion Eagle Ha! These things are not fully evolved, so they only have the level of spirit beasts. They can't become Heaven Realm beasts!" Longxuyi said with disdain.

Wangquan then called out, "I'll give you half more time to prepare. I'll distribute maps now. The first twenty people who reach the designated area by ringing the large bell there will be considered successful, while those left behind will be eliminated." Shen Xiang received his map. The destination was far away, requiring the crossing of many mountains and rivers while being several kilometers across.

Gudongchen and Wukaiming frowned when they saw the map.

"This journey across half of King Dao Continent might take regular horses more than a year." Wukaiming said.

"By horseback, it would take a year! Shen Xiang was amazed, "The King Dao Continent is indeed vast. I wonder how long it would take for me to arrive"

Shen Xiang continued looking at his map. He would definitely fly in the sky, so he didn't need to worry about ground conditions.

"Little Master Uncle, the Gold Lion Eagles are very fast. If you use Vermillion Bird Flame Wings, even they might be able to catch up." Wukaiming said.

Shen Xiang laughed, "You underestimate me. I have confidence in my speed." Wukaiming and Gudongchen both shook their heads. They didn't know Shen Xiang's speed well enough to comment.

Longxuyi said with a haughty hum, "Don't worry. I guarantee those half-evolved creatures can't match your speed! Little naughty, don't you want to build a True Martial Realm army as you said You must have some mounts besides."

Shen Xiang's eyes lit up, saying, "An army That would consume a lot of resources. I can't afford it!"

"A hundred or so is too little You must have at least three thousand! That way, you'll create a proper atmosphere. I believe you can achieve it," Longxuyi said with a smile.

Three thousand True Martial Realm martial artists! That was indeed impressive, but aside from the three thousand foundation-stage pills needed, other good pills would also be required. A True Martial Realm first or second stage was not enough for power, so Shen Xiang believed he needed at least True Martial Realm third stage.

"If you agree to get me three thousand True Martial Realm soldiers, I'll take you to find Divine Flying Tigers. They are much more powerful than those mixed breed eagles, and I'm sure you'd be interested in hearing from Xiao Baihu," Longxuyi said.

Baitianzhen's soft voice immediately said, "Mistress, what Miss Long said is true. Divine Flying Tigers can be turned into Heaven Realm beasts, and they are easier to tame than those eagles but in fewer numbers!"

"Don't worry about the number. It's on me," Longxuyi said with a smile.

Shen Xiang said wryly, "A small army of three thousand people worries me. I might not have enough foundation-stage pills to do it, and besides, I'd need a batch of good candidates."

"Sufficient time will be given. The Three Realms War won't start anytime soon, despite the rifts existing now. The sects must be assuming they have enough time to prepare," said Sumeiyao.

Shen Xiang sighed, "Alright. I'll try to grow more ingredients for foundation-stage pills."

The rest of the break ended, and Shen Xiang was brought to an open square where they would start running from there.sent out a force that shattered the ice layer.Little Howler quickly retreated and shouted, "Quickly block that old rhinoceros!"Others had long begun to attack this big man, but his defensive capabilit...
