With the arrival of all kinds of talented people, there were martial artists, martial heroes, and even elite soldiers from all over the world gathered in Luoyang.
There were a million elite soldiers from all the provinces and counties in the Great Han Dynasty. They formed a huge army.
These elites would gather with Xia Chen's current main army. Two armies with a total of two million elites gathered in Luoyang. The barracks outside stretched for hundreds of miles without end.
The Construction Inspectorate worked day and night, and millions of craftsmen of all kinds were working at full speed. The entire Great Han Empire's financial and material resources began to pour in endlessly.
One after another, brand new battleships appeared. They were 200 feet tall and had five floors. They could accommodate 3,000 soldiers and were equipped with giant crossbows.
There were also smaller, medium-sized warships that could hold 1,500 people. The densely packed warships began to gather, and the navy began to train crazily.
Gan Ning, Zhou Yu, Zhou Tai, and the others trained with all their might. The navy was taking shape day by day, and it was beginning to become a fighting force.
Time passed by slowly. A year passed by quickly. One day, Xia Chen was having breakfast with Lady Jade when someone rushed over to report.
"Your Majesty, the three Perfected Ones of the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets have sent Your Majesty there. They seem to have discovered something.”
When Xia Chen heard this, he waved his hand to dismiss the guard. He wondered what Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, and Yu Ji had discovered.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was a department that Xia Chen had recently established. It was an organization that specialized in accepting talented people from all over the world.
The Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets had three pavilion masters, Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, and Yu Ji. They were responsible for astrology, divination, and worshipping the heavens.
They even had to investigate the world, refine pills, and so on. In short, the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets was like an independent organization, and it was firmly controlled by Xia Chen.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, go first. ChenQie can go to the Empress.”
A gentle voice rang out. Jade Consort Gan Qian spoke.
Gan Qian was as beautiful as celestial jade. Her skin was smooth and bright, and in the dark night, it was as if it was condensed from jade, making people unable to put it down.
"Beloved Consort, don't be anxious!" Xia Chen patted her little hand and smiled.""It's only been a year. I think it should be an astrology divination.”
With that said, he hugged Gan Qian's small waist and stood up to go to the backyard. He looked at the imperial garden that was filled with flowers.
"Jade Consort, how is your cultivation of the spell Zhen taught you?”Xia Chen suddenly asked.
Gan Qian's pretty face blushed as she smiled sweetly,""Your Majesty, ChenQie is already familiar with the basics of magic, but sometimes I can't control it.”
"Yes, practice hard. I'm teaching you all this in the hope that you can become immortals with Zhen in the future.”
"Alright, you go to the Empress. Zhen will go to the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets first.”
After saying that, Xia Chen gently kissed Gan Qian, the jade beauty, and then turned around to leave, leaving Gan Qian alone to look at his back in a daze.
Originally, she thought that after entering the palace, she would live a life of mutual deception, bloodshed, and jealousy.
However, she did not expect to encounter such a situation when she came. Instead, it was another situation that she had never imagined.
Empress Tang Ji did not make things difficult for the imperial consorts, other beauties, or palace maids.
The imperial consorts had a very good relationship with each other. They did not have any intention of fighting for favor. Instead, their feelings for each other became deeper and deeper.
Furthermore, the Empress, the nine Imperial Concubines, and the twelve beauties had all obtained the Heaven's Envy Pill, extending their lifespan by a thousand years.
He had even obtained the teachings of the Son of Heaven, cultivated spells, and became stronger and immortal step by step. Perhaps he would really be immortal in the future.
With these, who would still fight for favor? They did not have the mood to fight for favor at all. Most of the time, they exchanged their cultivation experiences with each other and then cultivated diligently in silence. They did not want to be abandoned.
Moreover, they had signed a soul contract and would not betray Xia Chen at all. Naturally, there was no other bad situation.
........
Xia Chen left the Jade Concubine Palace and soon arrived at the Pavilion of Heavenly Secrets. He happened to see the three great Perfected Ones, Zuo Ci, Nan Hua, and Yu Ji, standing silently on the stargazing platform.
"Your Majesty!"
Seeing Xia Chen's arrival, the three of them cupped their hands and bowed respectfully. Over the past year, they had basically understood some of Xia Chen's strength, but it was only the tip of the iceberg.
Xia Chen nodded and said,"Did you find anything?"”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty," Nan Hua spoke first,"I have been observing the stars and divining for the past year and have finally predicted the weather for this month."”
"That's right, Your Majesty. The three of us worked together and finally predicted the weather for the next fifteen days. It can be said that the sea will be calm for the next fifteen days.”
"Even if there is a deviation and a storm occurs, with the three of us protecting you from the side, this expedition will definitely go smoothly.”
The three Zhenrens made a promise. After spending a year, they finally observed the accurate changes in the ocean climate and used their respective powers to finally determine the date.
"Very good. The three of you have worked hard!”
Xia Chen was overjoyed. It was finally the last day of the expedition. Everything was ready and there was nothing missing.
The navy had completed all their training three months ago and had formed their combat strength. Moreover, they had already tested the waters with various bandits.
1,000 large warships, 3,500 medium warships, various large transport ships, and small warships, a total of more than 10,000 warships had gathered.
This was the strongest navy in the history of the Great Han Dynasty. It could be said to be incomparably powerful. It could be seen how shocking the preparations of the entire country had been this year.
"Order the three armies to board the ship and prepare to go out!”
"Three Perfected Ones, I'll have to trouble you to prepare to worship the heavens. This time, I'm going to wipe out the demon plague in a single battle!”
Xia Chen gave the order in high spirits, Zuo Ci and the other two immortals immediately went down to prepare, they started to make preparations for the expedition to worship the heavens.
With a single order, the Great Han Empire moved. The two million elite soldiers had been training for an entire year and were finally about to set off.
"The great battle is coming!"
"I want to kill the enemy and make contributions!"
"It's time to seal my wife and children!"
Hearing this news, the two million elite soldiers were in an uproar. Their morale was high, and their fighting spirit was burning as they sharpened their swords.
On the surface of the river, countless battleships began to leave the port. Countless warriors boarded the ships and were about to head to the East Ocean Continent to kill demons.
What kind of concept was an army of two million elites? They were the strongest force in the Great Han Empire.
Under normal circumstances, he would definitely drag down the entire Great Han Empire. However, it was different now. Xia Chen had decided to fight directly to eliminate the demons and did not want to delay any further.
After this battle, the Great Han Empire would have to face even more internal problems and even the problems of its neighboring countries.
However, Xia Chen didn't care about these things. He was most concerned about the mission. Only by completing the mission could he bring back more high-quality grain seeds and strengthen the Great Han Dynasty.
As for now, there was only one voice in the entire Great Han Dynasty, and that was to exterminate the demons, suppress the demons, and eliminate the demons.
"Your Majesty, are you going to war?"
At this moment, Tang Ji, the empress, arrived with nine concubines and eighteen beauties.
