    The reason Miao Fei Ping stood there was that he was the so-called ‘Eldest Senior Brother’ of the Void Dao Temple; after all, not all of the Dao Temple disciples knew Li Wu Yi because those who became Open Heaven Realm Masters on the ck Ink Battlefield hadn’t interacted nearly as much with thetter. Moreover, the Dao Temple disciples here all had high cultivation and were very talented, so they might be arrogant and needed the Eldest Senior Brother to keep them under control!


    With his help, Li Wu Yi could get these Dao Temple disciples to listen to them.


    Li Wu Yi continued, “All of you here were called back from the various Armies, so you might already have a slight understanding of the situation. To sum it up, the ck Ink n was cowed by your Dao Lord’s powerful deterrence in E-5 Territory! They have recalled all their Pseudo-Royal Lords to the No-Return Pass, leaving the rest defenceless. Our Armies have broken the enemy Armies and ughtered many of their soldiers, so it is only a matter of time before we reim the 3,000 Worlds.”


    The group of Dao Temple disciples below all had proud expressions. Since they were from the Void Dao Temple, they were destined to be bound to Yang Kai’s sess and failures. The more powerful Yang Kai was, the prouder they were as Dao Temple disciples. Although the Dao Lord was always like a hidden Dragon who showed his tail but never his face and always seemed unreachable, it didn’t stop these disciples from respecting him.


    Li Wu Yi changed the topic, “But don’t celebrate just yet. The 3,000 Worlds originally belonged to us Humans, but when the ck Ink n invaded our home thousands of years ago, they defeated us and forced us to flee. Numerous Families were forced to abandon their ancestral legacy and inheritance, which they had umted for tens of thousands of years. It naturally felt like they had let their ancestors down. At this moment, the Humans have only reimed what they had once lost.”


    “Moreover, since all the Pseudo-Royal Lords, and many of the Feudal Lords and Territory Lords retreated, the ck Ink n hasn’t suffered any substantial damage despite losing so many soldiers. That was because those Masters were the ones that were truly difficult to defeat. The rest were all cannon fodder. Additionally, ording to what your Dao Lord has reported, it might not be long before the ck Ink n has new Royal Lords, so the victory in the 3,000 Worlds is not the end, but merely a new beginning!”


    Li Wu Yi paused for a moment before continuing, “Even though we have reimed the 3,000 Worlds, there are still harder challenges and more difficulties for us to face, the first of which will be the No-Return Pass. The Human Race used to guard that ce as it was the only entrance to the 3,000 Worlds, but now it has fallen into the ck Ink n’s hands. If we don’t take back the No-Return Pass, the ck Ink n will eventually return someday. Even if we managed to take back the No-Return Pass, the ck Ink n’s reign of terror still will not end. The Source, Mo, is being suppressed and sealed inside the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction. That being is the origin of the ck Ink n’s invasion. The blood feud between the Human Race and ck Ink n is absolutely irreconcble; so, how could we let the enemy have it easy while we suffer? Only by killing Mo can we finally rest at ease.”


    Li Wu Yi’s words led the Dao Temple disciples to imagine all sorts of things. Someone couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Brother, did the Dao Lord gather us here because he wants to umte more strength and ambush the ck Ink n’s base?”


    It wasn’t wrong for that person to think this way because everyone present, whether they were Dao Temple disciples or Phoenix n, were proficient in the Dao of Space. Except for Eldest Senior Brother Miao…


    With so many people proficient in the Dao of Space gathered in one spot, they had a natural advantage when doing missions together, and the ck Ink n would definitely not see theming.


    While looking at that person, Li Wu Yiughed and shook his head, “No, he didn’t…”


    [This guy sure is imaginative. If we attacked the No-Return Pass with only these many people, it would be suicide.]


    Li Wu Yi wore a serious expression while exining, “Your Dao Lord said that after taking back the 3,000 Worlds, the Human Race and ck Ink n would have a short period of peace. If we want to win the following battles though, we must act first and think of a way to take back the No-Return Pass before starting a crusade against the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction. Only then do we stand a chance to prevail; however, without mentioning the journey to the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction, even heading to the No-Return Pass is already a long journey. If we move together as one Army, the journey to the No-Return Pass alone will take up a lot of time, and once the war begins, it will be impossible to end in a short period. Also, it will be a problem if we want to send reinforcements to the frontlines.”


    After hearing this, the crowd nodded.


    The 3,000 Worlds was expansive, and the ck Ink Battlefield was vast. Even with Seventh or Eighth-Order cultivation, the journey would still take a long while. Time was an essential factor during the war because the more time the Army wasted in transit, the more time the enemy had to prepare.


    This was a problem that neither the ck Ink n nor Human Race could solve easily.


    “That is why!” Li Wu Yi looked serious while speaking, “Your Dao Lord has suggested forming the Void Guard. First, we gather the elites proficient in the Dao of Space, all of you, and then we will use massive Space Arrays to pave a path from our home base to the battlefield in advance. That way, the Grand Army can save a lot of time travelling to the battlefield, and logistics and reinforcements can be moved to the frontlines at any time.”


    When the crowd heard this, they finally understood why so many Dao Temple disciples and Phoenixes proficient in the Dao of Space were gathered here.


    Indeed, if they seeded in forming such a path with Space Arrays, themunication between the frontlines and the rear would be much more efficient. However, this was a mammoth task that would require a lot of resources.


    On the other hand, even if they didn’t build such a pathway, they would still require a lot of resources every time they deployed their Armies, which the Humans couldn’t afford with their current heritage.


    Since this idea came from the Dao Lord though, he must have a reason for forming the Void Guard. If they seeded, the benefits must outweigh the losses. In the future, the Humans could use this corridor and secure arge advantage, whether it was the battle at the No-Return Pass or the following crusade to the Primordial Heavens Source Grand Restriction.


    None of the Open Heaven Realm Masters here were fools, so they understood that point and were secretly excited.


    Zhao Lun cupped his fist and said, “Senior Brother, since we’re going to be the Void Guard, please give us our instructions on what we should do.”


    The crowd nodded in agreement.


    Li Wu Yi smiled and nodded, “The formation of the Void Guard has been submitted to and approved by the Supreme Headquarters, and your names have been recorded while you were en route. So, all of you are considered members of the Void Guard already.” Then, he turned to look at the Phoenixes, “That includes our friends from the Phoenix n as well.”


    The Phoenixes, led by Huang Si Niang, all nodded.


    Afterwards, Li Wu Yi became serious again and quickly said, “The Void Guard’s first mission is to look for structures to house the new Space Arrays. Fortunately, we already have such structures and won’t need to build them from scratch, all you need to do is look for them.”


    “Senior Brother, you mean…” Zhao Lun had a vague guess, but he wasn’t sure.


    Li Wu Yi exined, “The Universe Temples! Nearly every Great Territory has their own Universe Temple. When the ck Ink n upied the 3,000 Worlds, a few of those Universe Temples were naturally destroyed, but most of them are still intact. So, your mission is to visit each Great Territory and move those scattered Universe Temples to the Star Boundary. We will repair those Universal Temples to use as the basis for the new Space Arrays.”


    Once he finished, everyone understood.


    A Universe Temple was indeed a good choice as a base. It was initially something left over from the Early Ancient Era and could allow one to cross a Great Territory rapidly. Cultivators had previously used the Universe Temples to move to the centre of Great Territories from their outer edge, halving travel time at least. But since the ck Ink n invaded the 3,000 Worlds, some of the Universe Temples were destroyed, and those that weren’t would have had their Arrays destroyed, rendering them unusable.


    Letting the Void Guard search for those Universe Temples was the best choice because they were proficient in the Dao of Space, so they could move more quickly and thus save a great amount of time.


    At that moment, Miao Fei Peng, who had been standing to the side without saying anything, came forward and took out a list of names before calling out the names, “Hua Tong.”


    An Eighth-Order Master seated below responded bying forward and cupping his fists, “Here!”


    Miao Fei Ping took out a Universe Chart from his Small Universe and threw it at Hua Tong, “Follow the trail marked on the Universe Chart to the Great Territory and search for the Universe Temple there. Be quick!”


    After receiving the Universe Chart, Hua Tong briefly checked and said, “Yes!”


    Then, he swept away and soon disappeared into the distance.


    Miao Fei Peng continued, “Zhao Lun!”


    “Here!” Zhao Lun responded and came forward.


    …


    One after another, names were called out. The Seventh-Order and Eighth-Order Masters moved alone while the Sixth-Order Masters acted in groups. Following the distribution of the Universe Charts prepared in advance, the disciples in the Grand Hall gradually left.


    In the end, the dozens of Phoenixes also received their tasks and departed.


    Soon, only Li Wu Yi and Miao Fei Ping were left in the Grand Hall.


    Once thest Phoenixes left, Li Wu Yi said, “Junior Brother Miao, I’ll leave the rest to you. I’m leaving as well.”


    He needed to search the Great Territories, too, quite a few of them. N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.


    Miao Fei Peng nodded, saying, “Senior Brother may rest assured.”


    What followed was easy because he only needed to wait for his Junior Brothers and the Phoenix nsmen to retrieve the Universe Temples. As for being a Void Guard, he was only included because he was the Dao Temple’s Eldest Senior Brother.


    “By the way, do you know where the Dao Lord is currently?” Miao Fei Peng couldn’t help but ask.


    He thought Yang Kai would be at High Heaven Pce, but after asking Head Manager Hua, he discovered that Yang Kai never returned.


    Li Wu Yi frowned slightly before whispering, “I heard he and the other Ninth-Order Masters have gone to the Barren Territory, but I don’t know if that’s true.”


    The whereabouts of the Ninth-Order Masters were still confidential, and Li Wu Yi only casually asked Mi Jing Lun about it when he received orders from the Supreme Headquarters to form the Void Guard.


    After hearing that, Miao Fei Ping was shocked, “The Barren Territory, but that’s…”


    Since it was a group of Ninth-Order Masters going there, their intentions were easy to guess. At that moment, Miao Fei Peng couldn’t help recalling many things and revealed a worried expression.


    Chuckling, Li Wu Yi patted Miao Fei Ping’s shoulders, “You don’t have to worry about what the Ninth-Order Masters are doing. We just have to aplish our own tasks. I’ll be off now.”


    While saying so, he manipted Space Principles and took one step forward. Then, his figure faded.


    On the other hand, Miso Fei Ping stood in ce and thought about something for a while before sighing.


    As Li Wu Yi said, taking back the 3,000 Worlds didn’t mean the war had ended. This was only a new start, with the Humans having only taken back what they had lost to the ck Ink n. They still had a long way to go regarding ending the ck Ink n invasion!
