It is worth noting that the Lord Xuanling of the Southern Heavenly Prefecture was also among those to discuss the matter, and the configuration of the Prefecture for this expedition was luxurious.

The chief commander is Erlang Zhenjun, the chief of Futian Zhenjun, who commands the six marshals, the four heavenly masters, the four directional gods, the three heavenly spirits, the thirty-six heavenly gods and all their central heavenly officials, central heavenly generals, and heavenly soldiers, as well as controls all immortal officials and gods outside Daluo Heaven.

This is equivalent to handing over all the authority of the three realms except Daluo Heaven to Erlang Shen, and because Erlang Shen was away on a military expedition, the Five Emperors also gave him the same status as the Grand Envoy of Taixuandu Province.

This was done to allow Erlang Shen to unify, coordinate and control, so as to avoid a situation where Erlang Shen is in charge outside while someone inside the Heavenly Court is lagging behind.

"Once the war begins, Nan Tianfu must seal off all of the earth's veins and energy within the Southern Continent," Erlang Shen said, pointing to the enormous cloud-screen map of the Southern Continent above the main hall. He then turned his gaze to Xuan Ling Tianjun and asked, "Is Nan Tianfu ready?"

Xuanling Tianjun said, "Reporting to Master Erlang, everything is ready. As soon as your decree reaches the Southern Heaven Palace, all the earth veins in the Southern Continent will be sealed immediately."

"Very good." Erlang Shen nodded.

But Xuanling Tianjun hesitated for a moment and said, "However, True Lord Erlang, once the earth veins are sealed, all living things in the entire Southern Continent will be unable to be nourished by the earth's energy. If the war drags on for a long time, I'm afraid that all lives will be devastated."

The disastrous consequences of the cut-off of earth energy could be seen as early as the Qinghua Temple incident. Qinghua Temple simply moved 80% of the earth veins to the area around its own mountain gate, and turned a prefecture in Dongsheng Shenzhou, which was no less important than Yanyu Jiangnan, into a desert.

Therefore, Xuanling Tianjun was very worried. The prosperity of the Southern Continent was second only to the Eastern Continent. If the sealing of the earth veins caused the suffering of the people, not only him but also Erlang Shen could not bear the responsibility.

Erlang Shen waved his hand calmly and said, "Don't worry about that. I have already petitioned the 'Central Yuanling Shilao Tianjun,' and he will send down rain and bestow spiritual dew on a regular basis to nourish the creatures of the Southern Continent."

The Central Yuanling Shilao Tianjun is also the Central Earth Virtue Xuanyuan Huangdi, one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions.

When Xuanling Tianjun heard Erlang Shen say that he had invited the Central Yuanling Shilao Tianjun, his worries immediately disappeared. The Five Elders of the Five Directions had all taken action, so what was he still worried about?

Then Erlang Shen addressed the six great marshals and said, "Six great marshals, each commanding the spirit gods and heavenly generals, lead 300,000 heavenly soldiers and march in six directions."

Erlang Shen swiped his finger across the cloud-screen map, and six routes naturally appeared on it. "These six routes have been personally explored by Howling Sky Dog. The Buddhist and Xuanjiao sects haven't yet fully and properly arranged their defenses at these six locations. They are the best attack routes, so you must gather elixirs, precious materials, talismans, robbery jade, and other supplies. After attacking the Southern Continent from these six locations, use talismans to heal the meridians when you encounter rivers and mountains, set up large formations, and advance steadily. Don't be too eager for success or advance alone. Always keep in touch with the friendly celestial forces."

The words "jiang" and "yue" are usually used as adjectives, but here they become the specific rivers and mountains in the Heavenly Army system. For example, a river is more than 300 li wide, and a mountain is more than 1,000 zhang high. …

Erlang Shen meant that the six armies should advance in unison, and once they encountered a "river" over 300 miles wide and a "mountain" over 1,000 feet high, they would stop and use the talismans specially used by the Heavenly Court to unlock the earth veins sealed by the Southern Heavenly Palace, and then rely on these earth veins to set up a large formation and advance steadily.

"Yes." The six marshals bowed and nodded in unison.

Erlang Shen continued, "When engaging in battle, remember to fight soldier against soldier, general against general. If the enemy sends out Xuanxian troops, I will also send out Xuanxian troops to fight. If the enemy sends out Jinxian troops, I will also send out Jinxian troops to fight. Especially the six marshals, you must stay in the center of the army and coordinate and command from the center. Unless it is necessary, you are not allowed to rush into battle without authorization. And don't be greedy for temporary pleasure and disregard the safety of the army."

At this point, Erlang Shen pointed at Nezha and said, "Don't look around, I'm talking about you."

Nezha was stunned for a moment, then said to Erlang Shen, "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Erlang Shen's divine eyes instantly fell on Nezha, and then he slowly said, "Yes, do you have any opinions?"

"No." Nezha shook his head and said, "I mean you teach me to do things in a reasonable way, I have no objection."

Erlang Shen's eyes flashed with a smile as he said, "Let me be frank. If you dare to disobey my military orders, I will literally stew you into lotus root soup for my Roaring Sky Dog."

"Tsk!" Nezha said with disdain, "Your military orders? I will definitely obey them strictly. What can you do to me?"

He said the most cowardly words in the harshest tone without blushing or breathing heavily. At this moment, Fang Jian really admired Nezha. It seemed that he was not thick-skinned enough.

Erlang Shen didn't mess around with Nezha, but instead addressed the group of celestial officials before him, "Everyone, remember what I just said. We will send out celestial generals of the same rank as the cultivators sent by the other side. You must not send higher or lower ranks. Anyone who disobeys my orders will be punished severely!"

Erlang Shen's decree is actually very easy to understand. The thing that is most lacking in this world is "surprise", as the saying goes, victory comes from a surprise attack.

If a Taiyi Xuanxian appears in Buddhism, the Heavenly Court will send a Golden Immortal to fight. If the Taiyi Xuanxian has any special tricks up his sleeve, the Heavenly Court will lose a Golden Immortal in vain.

If this Golden Immortal had not died from the Taiyi Xuanxian's unique move, he could have played a greater role elsewhere. But now he died here, isn't that a huge loss?

So if you send out Taiyi Xuanxian, I will also send out Taiyi Xuanxian. Even if we are defeated in a fight and die from the attack, we can minimize the losses.
