"Lu Kaiji, my son took the risk and went straight for the Yellow Dragon. Even if he is unable to step into the Heaven Smiting Stage for the rest of his life, this battle will still be recorded in the annals of history, and his name will live through the ages. " Lin Shen looked at the middle-aged man, his eyes were like daggers, the two of them were a bit uncoordinated.

Lu Kaiji gave a mocking smile and said, "It went into the annals of history? Famous throughout the ages? "General Lin sure knows how to joke around. Your son is just a blind cat who met with a dead rat. This kind of battle record is not even worth mentioning in our eyes."

Lin Xing, Ashan, Hu Jue, and the others' faces instantly darkened when they heard this. They had taken the risk of attacking and luring away the five million strong army of the Giant Spirit Sect, but in the end, wasn't it worth mentioning? His heart turned cold.

"Then you should go and have a look." Lin Shen harrumphed.

Lu Kai was livid, his face flushing red. Just as he was about to open his mouth to retaliate, he was interrupted by someone beside him.

"Since the enemy has just retreated, it's not proper for us to fight in this place." The man's face was stern and dignified. Sitting on the horse was like a small mountain. His physique was astonishing, and his grandeur was imposing. He was the commander of the frontline troops of the Heavenly Ascension Sect, Gan Chi.

Lin Shen and Lu Kaiji, who had been scolded by the marshal, were immediately left speechless. They glared at each other and no longer spoke.

Qian Que looked at Lin Xing with calm eyes and said, "Since you have accomplished a great deed, I will report it to the Elders Guild. As for the reward, it will be decided by the Elders Guild."

Lin Qi was silent, and a chill ran down his spine. The people from the Sky Sect were always so cold-blooded.

Ashan and Hu Jue, as well as the fifty thousand soldiers beside him, were extremely indignant. Although the journey seemed to be dangerous, it was actually dangerous. In the end, they didn't even say a word of thanks.

"I am not here for the reward. I have come to save my father." Lin Qi said with a gloomy face.

"Wake up, don't be rash." Lin Shen scolded in a low voice.

Qian Que waved his hand and said with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, "Do whatever you want. If you don't want it, I'll give it to the soldiers for you."

How could the commander of a troop be so shameless? These words were spoken in a dignified manner. If the hearts of the army were to be put away, Lin Xing and Hu Jue's popularity would be ruined.

Lin Xing hadn't even said he didn't want it, but Gan Chi had already set his mind on it. If he could, then Qian Que might even be able to snatch the credit for this. His heart was like ten thousand galloping horses.

"Now, let's go back to the army." With Qian Que's order in hand, he first turned his horse around and headed towards the back.

"Hmph." Before leaving, Lu Kaiji dropped a cold, disdainful voice.

"Wake up, are you planning to go home or do you want to go to the military camp with me?" Lin Shen asked with concern.

Lin Xing gazed at the departing back view of the great army as he smiled, "Since you've already come, why don't you take a look around."

"That's fine too. I heard that the country is not in a good mood right now, but when you go back, I will not feel at ease. Lead your army and follow me. You should still be the commander of these troops." He knew many of the generals, and they were all his old subordinates.

Lin Xing nodded and then led his soldiers to leave with Lin Shen.

Qian Que led the army and withdrew it faster than a march. In a short while, they arrived at the military camp. The place was filled with tents, bright lights, and a dense crowd of soldiers.

The surrounding mountains were tall and steep, and although they were easy to defend and difficult to attack, once they were seized by the enemy, they would be able to look down from above and gaze upon the great earth. In the distance, there would be a flat stretch of land, and this natural barrier would be used as the last line of defense.

If Lin Xing was the commander-in-chief, he would definitely not place all his manpower in this place. At the very least, he would have to push forward a bit. The taboo for eggs was to keep all of them in one basket.

With his status, there was no way that he would have the qualifications to point fingers and point fingers in the army. Not to mention, Qian Que was the general of the army that was chosen by the elders of the Sky Ascension Sect.

Arriving at the barracks, Lin Shen circled a plot of land around his legions for Lin to set up camp in.

Night quietly approached and in the camp's tent, all the generals were drinking and holding celebratory banquets.

Hu Jue and the other generals were familiar with the people under Lin Shen's command. They used wine as their spokesperson and toasted them. It was extremely lively, and after three rounds of drinking, they were all drunk.

Although there were no rewards or achievements, the feat of surprise attacking the heart of a Giant Spirit made everyone's blood boil. It was enough to make them proud for the rest of their lives.

Even Lin Shen was secretly impressed. He was resourceful and decisive, and he had the demeanor of a great general. He never thought that his own son had the ability to use troops.

When the celebratory feast was halfway through, Lin Xing had already quietly left and arrived at a big tent.

Sitting upright on top of a wooden stake, he closed his eyes and looked inside. Within his sea of consciousness, there was a dark green space. It was one meter deep, and its background was like the starry sky.

However, this space was filled with cracks. Some were even as thick as a person's body. In a corner, there was a blade lying horizontally at a completely undamaged location.

As his realm rose, the Soul Cave would also become deeper and longer. It was said that the Soul Cave of some great Honored Warriors was the size of a million li of land, and that it could no longer be called a cave, but rather, a space.

The blade he took from Zhu Yanghua's hands was a powerful weapon. Not only was it inconvenient for Lin Qi to carry around, it would also attract the attention of others. Thus, he kept the blade in a corner of the Soul Cave that didn't have any cracks.

In the past when he advanced to the Heaven Smiting Stage, he naturally refined his own soul hole. But later on, after being struck by the heavenly tribulation, not only did his cultivation become crippled, his soul hole also shattered into pieces. Now, this space was the soul hole that had survived all those years ago.

Not long ago, he had helped this brat to cool down and heal his wounds. However, he was "forced" to cultivate the Pulse Opening Method. Afterwards, he discovered that this technique unexpectedly had the effect of repairing the soul cave.

This was no doubt a pleasant surprise, but due to the complicated situation in the capital city, he did not have the time to repair it. He also had to spend some time to increase his cultivation, so he was delayed.

At this moment, the Soul Cave began to vibrate slightly, as if it was a real space that was vibrating slightly.

Streams of immortal energy rushed in as the spirit cave absorbed them by itself. The Pulse Pushing Art evolved again as it worked with the immortal energy. Some of the smaller cracks even began to slowly wiggle and heal.

The slight movement of the Pulse Pushing Technique had a significant effect, causing him to be overjoyed.

The boundless starry sky flickered with light. That light seemed to have come from the heavens as immortal energy surged outwards. The scene was hazy and mysterious.

The importance of the soul cave went without saying. Not only could it be used to store items, it was also the place closest to the source of the universe. One day of enlightenment here was more important than an entire year in the outside world. After the Heaven Smiting Stage, one of the Dao arts was especially important since one's cultivation level was lower.
