Chapter 115 - Chapter 115: The Heavenly Military Camp – Shenwu Camp!

Leo was still a newcomer in the heavenly realm, and he clearly understood that his current strength placed him at the very bottom of this vast and powerful world.Because of this, he forced himself to suppress the deep murderous intent that often surged in his heart.Just then—"Why are you silent?"As Leo remained quiet, holding his emotions in check, the Fifth Princess turned her head toward him. Her tone was playful, and her expression was both cute and elegant. She blinked at him, waiting for a reply."Forget it, never mind.""Um, about my green sword just now—""Whatever. Anyway, here, take this!"Without warning, she flipped over her slender palm, and a large, radiant peach appeared out of thin air. Its red surface shimmered with a divine glow."This is… a Thousand-Year-Old Peach!" gasped the general standing nearby. He was stunned by what he saw the Fifth Princess holding.Without any hesitation, the Fifth Princess reached out and took Leo's hand.Before he could react, she pressed the peach firmly into his palm."Alright, now we're even!" she said cheerfully.Then, like her elder sister—the Second Princess, who was clad in flowing orange robes—the Fifth Princess, in her green fairy gown, transformed into a streak of divine light and vanished from sight.Leo stood there in silence, staring down at the glowing fruit in his hand, completely bewildered.Beside him, the general couldn't help but gaze longingly at the fruit with envy burning in his eyes."That peach is from the Queen Mother's own divine orchard! A single one can extend your life by a thousand years and boost your cultivation by a full century!""I can't believe she gave it to you… just because of the sword incident. That's… unbelievable!"The general smacked his lips and sighed exaggeratedly."I swear, for a chance at that peach, I wouldn't mind being stabbed by her sword myself…"Noticing Leo's lack of reaction, the general continued explaining, clearly realizing Leo didn't grasp the value of the gift.As he spoke, his envy grew deeper, and he began to visibly salivate just looking at the fruit.Leo, for his part, could already smell the peach's rich, refreshing aroma. He could feel the immense vitality and spiritual energy hidden inside it.In fact… it wasn't just spiritual energy.There was mana—a pure and powerful form of energy!Leo, still only at the Earthly Immortal stage, had not yet condensed his spiritual energy into true mana.Yet, this divine fruit held a tremendous amount of mana within it.It was incredible—perhaps even… frustrating.Leo narrowed his eyes and muttered coldly, "I'll return it to her.""Huh?" The general beside him looked shocked. "What? She gave you such a priceless treasure, and you want to return it?"Leo fell into silence again.But what he meant by "returning" wasn't just giving back the peach…---After leaving the Ascension Mansion, the restrictions that had bound Leo were lifted, and he could now fly freely. Together with two heavenly generals, he soared into the skies.Up above the clouds, Leo experienced the boundless wonder of the heavenly realm firsthand.As he flew, he marveled at the dazzling rainbow-filled skies and the mists that floated like veils of light. Below them were countless grand palaces and majestic buildings crafted from white jade and golden stone.The heavenly realm was truly a place of divine splendor.Every now and then, he saw groups of heavenly soldiers marching or flying in formation, their movements disciplined and precise. They patrolled the skies and lands with vigilance, exuding authority and strength.Leo and his companions were occasionally stopped and questioned by patrolling squads, as he was still an unregistered newcomer in the heavenly world.However, the general who accompanied him—Zhang Kuo—produced a token bearing the seal of the Flying Palace and explained Leo's situation.After confirming the token, the other generals allowed them to pass.They continued flying, now at a slower and more relaxed pace.Eventually, they arrived at a massive military complex suspended in the clouds.After landing, Leo looked up to see three enormous black characters etched in divine script above the white jade gate:[Shenwu Camp]"The military camp of Heaven?" Leo whispered to himself, feeling the pressure in the air increase.Zhang Kuo walked ahead and exchanged words with the celestial guards posted at the gate. After showing his token once more, the lead soldier waved his hand."Enter."Zhang Kuo handed Leo a token as well, a temporary pass to enter the military compound.After they walked through the first gate, another massive stone gate loomed in front of them—this one guarded by four towering figures.Each of them had the imposing aura of a True Immortal.When Leo sensed their cultivation levels, he couldn't help but say aloud, "True Immortals…"Zhang Kuo grinned at him.Then, presenting the pass from earlier, he stepped forward. The four guards examined it, then gave one another a knowing nod.Boom—!!The ground trembled as the four True Immortal warriors summoned their strength in unison and began lifting the massive gate.Leo's eyes narrowed slightly.This gate required four True Immortals just to lift it?The level of strength in this military camp… was no joke."Let's go," Zhang Kuo said, beckoning Leo forward.Leo gave one last glance at the four herculean warriors and walked past them, entering the heart of the Shenwu Camp.As soon as he stepped through the gate—"Kill! Kill! Kill!"A thunderous chant rang in his ears.Leo suddenly felt like he had entered another dimension altogether.The scenery shifted dramatically—he now stood on a vast, endless plain. Stretching as far as the eye could see were thousands of heavenly soldiers.Some were practicing spear thrusts, others were refining swordplay. Entire platoons rehearsed large-scale military formations, and some trained in various celestial arts.It was a sea of disciplined chaos—thousands moving in synchronized motion, their roars filling the air like a divine war hymn.The atmosphere was suffused with a powerful, overwhelming killing intent.This was no ordinary training ground—this was the beating heart of Heaven's might.Leo's gaze swept across the endless troops. His blood stirred with excitement, and his fists unconsciously clenched.His heart burned with passion.Heaven… was far more exciting than he had imagined.A smile, small but genuine, crept across his face."Leo!"A voice called out, pulling him back to reality.He turned to see Zhang Kuo returning, this time accompanied by a middle-aged immortal clad in a celestial armor that radiated immense authority."Leo, this is Lord Wu Qu Xing Jun, the highest commander of the Shenwu Camp," Zhang Kuo announced respectfully.Leo gave a slight nod but said nothing.Seeing Leo's lack of expression, Zhang Kuo couldn't help but frown slightly and urged, "Leo, you must salute!"But the middle-aged man, Wu Qu Xing Jun, waved his hand and looked at Leo with amusement and curiosity."I heard from Zhang Kuo that you're a new ascender from the lower realms, and that you've already reached the level of Earthly Immortal.""More interestingly… during the recent conflict between the Second and Fifth Princesses, you managed to block an attack from the Fifth Princess's green sword directly?"Leo looked at the commander without fear or reverence.He simply nodded.Wu Qu Xing Jun's expression became more intrigued. "Quite bold. But Heaven has no shortage of geniuses. Let's see if you're as capable as they say."He paused, then said, "Since you're here, your trial begins now. Let's see how well you fare in the Shenwu Camp."Leo's eyes lit up. He wasn't one to back down from a challenge.And in this realm where strength ruled all, he would find his place—one step at a time.
