Therefore, the Novel Court began to form a great army and have it ready for the war. They aimed to march eastward and were determined to eliminate all the heathen people in the Brilliant Kingdom.
"Although the martial arts world in the Brilliant Kingdom has fallen to such an extent, it had a glorious history in the ancient times, thanks to its numerous powerful cultivators. Divine gods of martial arts were not uncommon at that time and many secret skills in martial arts have been passed down from generation to generation.
According to some precious ancient books in our possession, there are scores of secret realms and old relics in the Brilliant Kingdom, where magic treasures and ancient records of secret martial arts skills left by the divine gods in ancient times might be kept.
Since our army is going to attack the Brilliant Kingdom, we should take this opportunity to obtain as many magic treasures and secret skills as we can get, if not all of them!"
"Fortunately, some large sects and clans in the Brilliant Kingdom still have their own divine temples, which have been there since ancient times.
Not long ago, those ancient divine temples started to glow divine light even though they had been extinct for many years. They are faint but definitive signs that the spiritual energy between heaven and earth has been revived.
There must be something going on behind all these unusual occurrences. We must take this opportunity to dig out all the secrets of the ancient divine temples when we give that country a heavy strike. But we must do it efficiently and in a coordinated fashion."
Some important figures of the Novel Court had gathered in a luxurious, high-level meeting room to discuss their plan of attack. They were seated around a huge round table and discussed in a low voice as this meeting was held in secret.
It had been ages that the Western Kingdom had wanted to wage a war against the Brilliant Kingdom and wiped out its entire martial arts world.
Now seemed to be the perfect time, opening a very good opportunity to finally make it a reality.
"Is that young man named Austin really one of the chosen people for that experiment?"
an old gentleman in a power suit asked while pointing at the big screen in front of him. He held a goblet in the other hand and looked graceful and refined.
The amber goblet was filled with expensive vintage red wine.
Everybody was watching the big screen with full attention.
A video was being played on the big screen showing the moment before one of the bases of the Divine Moon Sect in the Brilliant Kingdom was attacked and destroyed.
A young man with a cold face appeared on the screen. He put one of his hands behind his back and walked slowly into the base of the Divine Moon Sect. Every time he flicked his fingers in his
treading Old Man asked with curiosity.
"I'll lead the way. You just have to follow me,"
Austin said.
With the magic power of the Space Ship, it wouldn't cost Austin one whole day to travel from the Brilliant Kingdom to the Western Kingdom.
Due to the suppression power of the law of supreme enlightenment, the power of the Space Ship was greatly reduced when used on Earth.
Nonetheless, it was still possible for it to travel to any point on Earth within one day.
"Over the past few days, we have used a lot of our connections and spent a lot of our resources in information collection. We have gotten a preliminary understanding of the current situation of the Western Kingdom.
There are two possible sites for the headquarters of the Novel Court, namely the Vantour and Jerule."
"Vantour and Jerule? That's possible. They are two important cities in the Western Kingdom.
Well, let's go to Jerule first!"
Austin made the decision after thinking for a while.
"Dad, Mom, Chad, you are still new and quite weak in your martial arts skills. It is best that you stay in the temple of the mountain god and improve your cultivation,"
Austin said to his parents and his elder brother.
He must arrange the affairs of his family before he left with the army.
His parents and elder brother were expecting to go to the Western Kingdom with Austin.
However, given their current situation—the strength and experience levels, they might be more of a burden instead of great help to him.
Austin didn't want them to take any risks at this time.
Through Austin's persuasion, his parents and elder brother finally agreed to stay in the temple of the mountain god to continue their cultivation.
Austin then set up more than a dozen high-grade arrays within and outside the temple. He believed that no cultivator on Earth would be able break past them.
