Chapter 107: Fear Nothing, Just Do It!
Chuckling quietly to himself, Chen Changsheng waved his hand and said, “Your Majesty, Empress, you are far too kind.”
He sighed softly in his heart—this truly was an incredibly friendly world!
The art of flattery here was absolutely terrible; they ought to establish a special course just for mastering the craft of flattery.
“Ahem!”
The Empress cleared her throat twice and shifted the topic. “The warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations are about to depart. How about, Young Master Chen, you say a few words to boost their morale?”
She was well aware that Chen Changsheng’s name had already spread throughout the entire Eastern Domain. Having him rally the troops would undoubtedly have the most profound effect.
“Me?”
Chen Changsheng blinked in slight surprise, clearly not expecting the Empress to call upon him to inspire the soldiers.
“Very well.”
He exhaled softly once more and then strode calmly to stand before the warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations.
Instantly, the entire gathering of warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations fixed their burning gazes upon him, their faces brimming with eager anticipation for his words.
Chen Changsheng’s voice would surely carry more weight than even the imperial edict!
Everyone present knew that Chen Changsheng was a transcendent master... yet he alone remained unaware of this fact.
A transcendent master, even if merely standing before them without saying a word, was the greatest source of encouragement.
Still, they eagerly awaited some stirring words from him.
“Ahem!”
Chen Changsheng cleared his throat twice, then suddenly bellowed, “Fear nothing—just do it!”
“Uh…”
Chen Die’er, standing to the side, had also been waiting for her father to deliver a powerful and eloquent speech. Her little mouth fell open in astonishment, her bright eyes blinking in disbelief.
Father had just shouted six rough, commanding words.
Could this really be happening?
Father certainly had his own unique style.
On the battlefield, an eerie silence fell; even the faintest breath was absent.
The assembled warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations stood frozen, exchanging stunned glances, their jaws seemingly shattered on the ground.
“Fear nothing—just do it?”
My heavens, was this Young Master Chen’s style?
They had prepared themselves to listen to an eloquent and impassioned speech, and yet Young Master Chen had uttered only six words—“Fear nothing—just do it!”
“Hahaha!”
Suddenly, a hearty laugh broke the silence. “Young Master Chen has spoken perfectly! ‘Fear nothing—just do it’—in these six simple words lies such raw boldness, such unyielding might, such soaring spirit, it sets one’s blood ablaze!
Young Master Chen truly possesses unparalleled literary talent, distilling all the world’s stirring rhetoric and grandiloquent clichés into six powerful characters: ‘Fear nothing—just do it.’ These words stir the blood far more than any ornate phrase or impassioned speech.
Those six words have ignited the fire within me. I am itching to charge right into the Baydan Holy Nation and utterly annihilate them! The full meaning of ‘Fear nothing—just do it’ is displayed in all its vigor!”
Good heavens, that flattery was unprecedented—nothing like it had ever been seen before or since!
Chen Changsheng was utterly speechless. What on earth was this? He had just blurted out a casual expletive, and they had managed to turn it into a grandiose speech.
Brother, the true literary genius is you!
“Hahaha, absolutely right!”
“Young Master Chen is indeed a peerless talent among men. His command of language is so precise, we can only stand in awe!”
“Hahaha! Those six commanding words have nearly made my chest burst. Every drop of blood within me boils like boiling water!”
“Young Master Chen speaks so well: Fear nothing—just do it! Hahaha!”
“...”
The arena erupted into thunderous cheers; all the cultivators laughed and roared with abandon, eager to show their support!
This Young Master Chen was a transcendent sage; they must seize every opportunity to flatter him.
Chen Changsheng and his daughter exchanged bewildered glances.
They were utterly stunned by the overwhelming atmosphere.
The signs of flattery were far too obvious... beyond words!
The Eastern Palace Envoy and the Empress both wore faces flushed with delight. See? This was the effect Young Master Chen had—absolutely marvelous.
Suddenly,
The Eastern Palace Envoy shouted loudly, “Thanks to the heroes from the great Holy Nations for coming to aid us. Board the flying vessels, prepare to depart!”
Immediately, warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations drew forth their flying vessels and boarded them.
One after another, the flying vessels soared into the sky from the battlefield, rushing swiftly toward the Baydan Holy Nation.
The sky filled with a dense swarm of flying vessels, their might overwhelming.
Breath-taking!
The journey from the Spring and Autumn Holy Nation to the Baydan Holy Nation was extremely distant. Naturally, these warriors could not simply fly there by spiritual power alone.
Even the mightiest cultivators could not sustain their energy over such a distance.
Moreover, upon arriving at Baydan, fierce battle awaited them.
Two days later.
The flying vessels carrying the warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations hovered above the Baydan Holy Nation.
“Heavens! The Spring and Autumn Holy Nation is launching an attack!”
“Damn it! The Spring and Autumn Holy Nation has gone on the offensive. Not only did they destroy our national treasure, but it seems they intend to annihilate our Baydan Holy Nation as well!”
“So many warriors—this isn’t just the Spring and Autumn Holy Nation. They must have invited the other thirty-four Holy Nations to join them!”
“The Spring and Autumn Holy Nation is utterly treacherous. Our Baydan Holy Nation is doomed!”
Chaos erupted within the imperial court of Baydan.
At this moment, the sky above the Baydan imperial palace was filled with a dense swarm of flying vessels.
Even the light dimmed.
“Disembark and kill!”
Dong Gong Qianxue was the first to charge out of her flying vessel. Her graceful form instantly transformed into a massive, seven-colored phoenix.
She streaked downward like a radiant, gigantic rainbow, diving rapidly toward the Baydan imperial palace below.
“Boom!”
As she dived, terrifying flames ignited across her seven-colored phoenix body.
She held no mercy for the Baydan Holy Nation.
This gathering of the other thirty-four Holy Nations was precisely to exterminate Baydan.
If Baydan was not destroyed, they would spare no effort to destroy Spring and Autumn instead.
Such was the cruelty of the cultivation world: show mercy to your enemy, and you may well be digging your own grave.
“Bastard!”
A furious roar erupted from below as Baydan Holy Nation’s Sacred Emperor, Hua Manlou, surged upward.
“Infinite Sea of Flowers!”
With a mighty sweep of his arm, countless blossoms burst into bloom, filling the sky above the Baydan imperial palace with a dazzling spectacle of purples, reds, and pinks, breathtaking in their splendor.
It was as if every flower in the world had been plucked and gathered here in an instant.
True to his name, Hua Manlou’s martial arts were intimately connected to flowers.
High above, the warriors from the Thirty-Five Holy Nations, including the diving Dong Gong Qianxue, were stunned by the sudden, magnificent display.
“Father, it’s so, so, so... beautiful.”
Chen Changsheng and his daughter were equally amazed. Chen Die’er gasped, her delicate face brightening with delight at the vast sea of flowers blanketing the sky.
