Chapter 563: Growth in Fifty Years

"Greetings, Sect Master Jiu Shen!" Marbas bowed deeply at the man in front of him.

"Marbas, it was because of your efforts that the reconstruction of the Heavenly Sword Region was completed in just a few months. I hope that you will continue to support the Heavenly Sword Region." Jiu Shen stared at the old man with appreciation. This old man looked ordinary and plain, but he was a man with great talents.

"I\'ll serve you faithfully, Wine God Jiu Shen." Marbas said with a warm gaze. He couldn\'t believe that he would live a meaningful life in his old age. He was thankful to Jiu Shen who made everything happen.

Jiu Shen chatted with Marbas about the future development of the Heavenly Sword Region. The old man offered a few suggestions that made Jiu Shen contemplate deeply. He then dismissed the old man after a little while.

"I\'ll take my leave, Sect Master." Marbas left the dragon building with a shining look.

"Now, the only thing left to do is the reorganization and training of the soldiers. There should be no problem since Jian Wang is the one monitoring their progress. I should just wait for them to complete their training." Jiu Shen muttered as he stroked the fat white cat in his arms.

Fifty years later, the Heavenly Sword Region has become the most populated region in the Primordial God Realm.

The Heavenly Sword Tower also became the symbol of glory and strength. All the young elites of the region wish to become a member of the sword tower. However, the assessment of the Heavenly Sword Tower has become more difficult and only a few talented young elites were accepted every year. Despite the harsh requirements, many still tried their luck, but most of them could only leave with downcast faces.

During the last fifty years, the Heavenly Sword Region announced the emergence of their new army, the Heaven Sword Army. With a staggering number of five million soldiers, it was recognized as the strongest army in the Primordial God Realm! The most shocking matter was that this army was led by none other than Sword God Jian Wang!

Many major powers announced their loyalty to the Heaven Sword Army and they became part of this large force. One of them was the Armored Wyvern Army led by Great General Ri Kushou!

The growth of the Heavenly Sword Tower was unstoppable and everyone could only gasp in amazement as they recalled the glorious path of this sect.

In the vast training grounds privately owned by the Heavenly Sword Tower, Jiu Shen and Jian Wang stood before a large army that was lining up in perfect rows and columns. Their faces were rigid and stern as they stared at the two Celestials.

"I didn\'t think that you would only need fifty years to create an army this big." Jiu Shen sighed in admiration as he swept his gaze towards the millions of soldiers standing before him.

All of them were dressed in dark battle armors that covered every part of their bodies. There was a diamond-shaped shield and a long black sword strapped behind their backs. A black cape made from the skin of a Heavenly-rank dragon was fluttering behind them.

"Who do you think I am?" Jian Wang grinned upon hearing his words. He was also proud of the growth of his soldiers.

"By the way, Miss Hestia should be back by now. She brought a million of our soldiers with her and she even brought the Punishment Division and the Blood Sword Division. It\'s a pity that I was too busy to spectate their battle..." Jian Wang lamented.

Jiu Shen nodded his head. He sent Hestia with a huge army to fulfill his promise to her.

Her mission was to eliminate the Dark Devil Race and the remnant forces that were loyal to the Celestial Paragon Tower.

It wasn\'t long before a bloodied Hestia came to the training ground to report her mission to Jiu Shen. "Sect Master, I\'ve completed the mission!" Her voice was cold and filled with ruthlessness, but a trace of gentleness can be seen in her eyes as she stared at Jiu Shen\'s face.

"Good job!" Jiu Shen smiled as he lifted her body. He then patted her shoulder.

"Mn." Hestia lowered her head when she saw Jiu Shen\'s face close to her.

"Jiu Shen, what\'s the plan now?" Jian Wang\'s voice echoed beside him.

Jiu Shen\'s eyes narrowed as he stared at the floating city above the skies. It looked like a dot from where he stood, but it seemed as if his eyes could penetrate the distance. "We will bring Elena out of the Southern Region\'s Forest and activate the Defensive Array Formations we prepared beforehand. We will stage the battle in the Desert Region!"

They had already planned this many years ago and it was finally time to show their fangs!

"Hestia, gather the other soldiers and make them wait here in the training grounds."

"As you command!" Hestia bowed deeply at him.

"Jian Wang, let\'s go visit our friend." Jiu Shen smiled at Jian Wang as he soared through the skies with a single leap.

"This guy..." Jian Wang muttered as he followed behind him.

In the Southern Region, Elena was sitting on the branch of the Eonic Ragarwood Tree with her eyes shut tight. An invisible energy was gently revolving around her body.

Suddenly, an ethereal figure appeared beside Elena and whispered gently. "Sister Elena, I can feel the presence of Wine God Jiu Shen and Sword God Jian Wang flying in our direction. They should be here in about three minutes."

Elena opened her eyes upon hearing that and stood on top of the branch with a smile on her face. "Oh? I wonder what those two would tell me this time." She muttered while looking at the horizon.

The beautiful woman who was standing beside her remained silent. Her green pupils were also looking at the skies.
