After Yuqing Longnu went back, about five hours later, Lu Fengxian came to Taichu Palace with the three thousand Taixiao Thunder Pearls that he had refined.

Fang Jian ordered Hei Haier to put away the three thousand Taixiao Thunder Pearls. Then he heard Lu Fengxian say, "True Lord, Chai Lingqing is very strange. He refused to accept the Jieyu Jade you gave him, and he also didn't ask you to reduce his sentence."

"Oh?" Fang Jian was a little surprised when he heard this and asked, "Why is that? Is he dissatisfied?"

"It's not that he's dissatisfied." Lu Fengxian said with a strange look on his face, "He's very satisfied. He said he's never been so satisfied. He doesn't need to listen to the master's lectures, he doesn't need to spar with his fellow apprentices, he doesn't have to be scolded by the master and his fellow apprentices, and he's free from worldly distractions. He can devote himself to refining weapons wholeheartedly. If he needs any materials, he just needs to ask and someone will prepare them. This is really too good to be true. He even asked you to add tens of thousands of years to his sentence. It would be best if he were locked up until he dies."

Fang Jian was speechless after hearing this, but he quickly became happy again. "Okay, that's a great idea. I like young people like that."

After saying this, Fang Jian said to Lu Fengxian, "I will be dispatching troops tomorrow. You should return to Broken Boundary Mountain during this time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengxian immediately said, "True Lord, how about I stay by your side and help you? I'm the commander of your imperial carriage and ceremonial guards, so I'm supposed to stay by your side. I'll have nothing to do once we return to Broken Boundary Mountain."

Fang Jian heard this and nodded, saying, "Alright, let's do this. I'll refine some 'Ten Thunder God Fire Talismans' later, and you'll be in charge."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fengxian said excitedly, "Yes."

Time passed quickly, and soon another four hours had passed. The sun was rising slowly from the east of the Jambu world, and outside the South Gate of Heaven, one hundred huge merit boats were ready to set off.

Fang Jian did not bring too many heavenly soldiers on this trip. He only brought 500,000 heavenly soldiers from the Eastern Palace Army, led by the Eastern Palace Army Captain Sun Chengzong.

The five hundred thousand heavenly soldiers were carried by fifty merit-based heavenly boats. The heavenly generals of heaven occupied ten of the boats, the Taoist and Buddhist immortals each occupied ten boats, and the remaining twenty boats were all loaded with various supplies.

"I hereby report the order from the three of you." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King held the pagoda in his left hand and the divine flag in his right hand, announcing, "The gods, heavenly generals, and heavenly soldiers have already boarded the ship. The army is ready. The generals have inspected it again and again, and there are no mistakes. I hereby request your order!"

Fang Jian stood at the bow of the flagship, exchanging a glance with Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang on either side. Bixia Yuanjun and Kongque Damingwang nodded slightly, then Fang Jian issued an order: "Order the Tianzhou army to descend from the southern boundary of the South Heaven Gate and enter the Southern Dipper Heavens. Target: Yuling Realm, distance: 437 celestial feet. Mark the position of the Zhoutian constellations: to the right of the Pleiades, the Sun Rooster, above the Bi Yuewu, below the Jing Mu An, and to the left of the Zhang Yuelu."

As Fang Jian was talking about the directions, the heavenly generals on the various meritorious sky boats had quickly drawn a coordinate map of the Yuling Realm's position in the Southern Dipper's heavens. The Heavenly Court's positioning method was to use the stars to locate the four corners.

No matter how the position of the world below the Three Realms changes during the Absolute Heavenly Tribulation, the orientation of the Zhoutian stars in the Zhoutian star field will not change. Therefore, the Heavenly Court only needs to know the approximate orientation and distance of the target world in the Southern Dipper Heavens, and then use the stars in the sky as a reference to use the four-corner positioning to determine the specific position and direction of this world.

Afterwards, the celestial general guarding the South Gate of Heaven opened the boundary gate, and one hundred merit-making celestial boats carrying all the backbone forces of the three forces of Heaven, Taoism, and Buddhism flew out of the boundary gate and went straight down to the Southern Dipper heavens.

"Four hundred and thirty-seven celestial rulers. With the speed of our Merit Sky Boat, it will take at least one month." The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King came to Fang Jian and said.

Upon hearing this, Bixia Yuanjun said, "One month. I hope that within this month, the main force of the outer sect's true demons has not yet reached the Yuling Realm."

Fang Jian smiled faintly and said, "I'm not afraid of the main force of the Outer Path True Demon reaching the Yuling Realm. What I'm afraid of is that the people of the Yuling Realm will follow the Outer Path True Demon to evacuate. That would be the most troublesome thing."

"I wonder how Chen Jiantang is doing?" Marshal Zhao Gongming of Xuantan said slowly.

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King said, "He's probably been killed. Didn't Ying He, the Lord of the Feathered Spirit Realm, say in person that he'd fallen into a calamity and perished?"

Fang Jian looked at the boundless calamity power ahead and said calmly, "Falling into the calamity and dying is fake, being harmed by the devil is real."
