Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han went to the treasury and, after consulting with the chief commander in charge, selected over a dozen celestial treasures. He didn't take them for free, but exchanged them for a large amount of resources.

He returned to his residence, a large manor bestowed upon Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu by City Lord Ding.

Its name was changed to Jiangye Manor, combining the surnames of Jiang Han and Ye Wanqiu.

Ye Wanqiu was in seclusion, the formation arrays of her room activated. Jiang Han didn't disturb her, and with a flash, he entered the Other Shore Space.

"Chirp, chirp!"

As soon as the little Vermilion Bird saw Jiang Han enter, it immediately cried out excitedly and flew over, circling around him incessantly.

Jiang Han caught the little Vermilion Bird, stroked its head, and then took out many celestial treasures from a spatial artifact.

These celestial treasures weren't as powerful as the Heart of Divine Lightning, Heart of Gale, Heart of Profound Water, or Heart of Heavenly Fire, but they were all crystals of various elements.

For example, there was a piece of million-year-old ice, said to have remained frozen for a million years without melting, terrifyingly hard and exceptionally cold.

There were also several clusters of special flames, all quite peculiar, as well as a Dark Orb, Earth Core Divine Crystal, Antarctic Heavenly Wood, Eastern Mountain Divine Iron, and so on.

Jiang Han took out all these celestial treasures, placing the several clusters of special flames in a corner.

"Chirp, chirp!"

The little Vermilion Bird was particularly excited when it saw the flames, immediately flying over and diving into them.

"Uh…"

Jiang Han's mouth twitched slightly as he watched the little Vermilion Bird dive into a flame and begin to devour it. These flames were very expensive, costing him a large amount of resources to acquire.

However, he didn't stop it. The little Vermilion Bird was currently his strongest combat force, greatly helping him. What could he say if the little Vermilion Bird wanted to devour some flames?

"The Other Shore Space hasn't changed much!"

Jiang Han settled these celestial treasures, not noticing any changes in the Other Shore Space. He scanned the surroundings a few times, deciding to expand the Other Shore Space first.

He walked over, fed the little Vermilion Bird some immortal power, and then flashed out.

He began his seclusion, focusing on cultivating a large amount of immortal power, continuously channeling it into the Other Shore Space.

After a large amount of immortal power was injected into this space, it would continuously expand. When it first appeared, it was only a zhang in diameter, but after he expanded it, it was now hundreds of zhang in diameter.

Although he was a pseudo-immortal, his speed of cultivating immortal power was still very fast. He continuously cultivated immortal power, pouring a large amount of it into the Other Shore Space.

Sure enough!

After he poured a large amount of immortal power into it, the Other Shore Space began to slowly grow larger, and the little Vermilion Bird was overjoyed inside.

The Other Shore Space was full of immortal power, allowing it to devour as much as it wanted, and with more immortal power, the environment inside would be very comfortable for the little Vermilion Bird.

After cultivating for half a month, Jiang Han stopped. Eastern King Sun had come, as there were some matters in the Heavenly Blade Army that needed Jiang Han to handle.

Jiang Han went to see Ye Wanqiu, and seeing that the formation arrays on her door were still activated, he didn't disturb her. He followed Eastern King Sun to the military camp.

He instructed a steward at the manor that he would be staying in the military camp for this period. If Ye Wanqiu came out of seclusion, the steward should go to the military camp to inform him.

Returning to the military camp, he handled some military affairs, and Jiang Han continued to cultivate immortal power, expanding the Other Shore Space.

He refined a large amount of pills, which could increase the speed of cultivating immortal power. Anyway, he had a lot of pills in his spatial ring, all obtained from killing powerful experts.

The military camp was very busy during this period. The new army had just been formed, requiring a lot of time for integration, training, drills, and experience, otherwise it wouldn't be able to form combat power.

Now that the army had just begun to integrate, it began training.

Jiang Han gave instructions that the Heavenly Blade Army must be successfully integrated in the shortest possible time, at least to the point where it could be commanded freely and dispatched in an orderly manner.

Once the army was successfully integrated, it would need to train in overall coordinated operations, and then it would need to drill in various battle formations.

Once the army was completely integrated and trained, it would need to go out and gain experience, making the integration more thorough through battles, and allowing the combat power to be greatly improved.

Jiang Han formulated very strict military regulations, and promised that all spoils of war, except for the portion handed over to the Heavenly Region Army, would be rewarded to the soldiers.

Originally, as the commander-in-chief of the army, he could have taken a small half of each spoils of war, but by taking out this small half, the soldiers could get more.

Don't underestimate the spoils of war. After a major battle, especially if you win, the amount of spoils of war is very huge, and Jiang Han can get a lot of resources.

But Jiang Han gave it all up, and when this news spread, it caused a huge sensation in the Heavenly Blade Army.

Other commanders-in-chief, let alone giving their share to the soldiers, would even deduct the soldiers' share for various reasons. Jiang Han's approach was very rare in the army.

Originally, many cultivators in the army came for Jiang Han's reputation, but now they admired and respected him even more.

In addition, Jiang Han also issued a military order—all military positions in the Heavenly Blade Army are not fixed, the capable go up, the weak go down, including the two deputy commanders.

In the Heavenly Blade Army, background, qualifications, relationships, and connections are not considered, only combat merit!

Jiang Han was conveying a principle to all soldiers and generals—relationships, favors, and background are useless under his command. If you want to do well in the Heavenly Blade Army, combat merit is the only standard of evaluation.

Also, Jiang Han proposed that as long as the Heavenly Blade Army has completed the training and drill tasks, as long as they have nothing to do, they can go out at any time.

They only need to report and come back within the limited time, and they must not violate the military regulations of the Heavenly Region Army after going out.

That is to say, under Jiang Han's command, as long as you work hard to kill the enemy, he will not care about you at all, giving you a lot of free time, and you can play as you like.

After this article was promulgated, the entire Heavenly Blade Army boiled over.

Many cultivators actually don't like to join the army, because the army is too strict, and life in the army is too boring.

The reason why they joined the army is because many cultivators have no choice, there is no place to obtain resources, and there is no way to improve their combat power.

Now in the Heavenly Blade Army, there is both freedom and the ability to continuously obtain military merit in exchange for a lot of resources, and Jiang Han has also given them the hope of making a name for themselves.

Isn't this the place that countless unprivileged, poor cultivators dream of?

Jiang Han's prestige in the army was already high, and after these articles were announced, Jiang Han was immediately regarded as a god by countless poor cultivators.

Now, even if City Lord Ding wants to dismiss Jiang Han, many soldiers will probably kneel in front of the City Lord's Mansion to plead for mercy.

Some are happy and some are sad.

Many disciples of large clans in the army felt their hearts sink to the bottom after learning about it. Although some cultivators from large clans looked good in terms of realm, their combat power was very weak.

They grew up under the protection of their clansmen, and they also used the clan's connections to get a good position in the Heavenly Blade Army.

Jiang Han's move is not forcing them to risk their lives? If they don't risk their lives and don't accumulate combat merit, they will be dismissed sooner or later.

"If you don't keep me here, I'll find somewhere else to stay!"

Some playboy disciples of large clans quickly requested to leave the Heavenly Blade Army. They knew how many pounds they weighed, and they didn't want to go to the battlefield to risk their lives.

Rather than being dismissed later, it is better to leave actively now, so that they can save some face.

After receiving the news, Jiang Han waved his hand and approved them all. These playboy disciples are a disaster to keep, and it is a good thing for the Heavenly Blade Army to leave now.

Jiang Han intends to build the Heavenly Blade Army into an army composed of rogue cultivators. He wants to tell all the rogue cultivators in the Eastern Region that as long as they fight bravely, they will have the opportunity to make a name for themselves under his command.
