Twenty thousand Immortal King realm powerhouses—leaving aside top-tier powerfighters—amounted to a force that should pose a threat to any ancient orthodoxy. Yet Chen Yu was well aware that even though the forces under his command were now qualified to go to war with any ancient orthodoxy in the mortal realm, if those ancient orchards united, the meager power in his hands would not be nearly enough.
After a moment of thought, Chen Yu said, "Moving forward, we must focus our efforts on training that million-strong army. We need to gather more Immortal King realm powerhouses in a short period of time. Additionally, the upper echelon of the Heavenly King Palace will enter seclusion collectively. If anyone can break through to the Saint realm shortly to increase our top-tier combat strength, that will be our best deterrent against the Upper Realm."
"After all, once a war breaks out in the future, the Saint realm must still take precedence. Unless Celestial Venerables step forth, powerhouses of this realm are the key to dominating any war."
