"Old Fifth, have you ever heard of the Holy Army Code?"
Hou Yuxiao asked with a somewhat gloomy expression. He had personally witnessed the Brahman World Purifying Army practicing the Brahma Heavenly Garuda Sacred Army Code and the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers of Leiyin Temple practicing the Chan Light Universal Illumination Military Code. These were methods powerful enough to make an army surpass the capacities of great beings. To say he wasn't envious would be a lie.
The top military might of the Hou Clan was far too lacking. Despite his name being on three lists and seeming impressive, at the end of the day, his own ability in single combat was at most that of a heavenly Grandmaster. Without an army by his side, even facing a master of the Yuan Dan Realm was tough for him. Unable to enhance his cultivation quickly, he could only think of other alternatives.
This Military Code was undoubtedly a channel through which the Hou Clan could gain tremendous power.
Hou Yuduan, who had never been to Hedong, surely hadn't experienced the Military Code. Hou Yuxiao asked this just to clarify things to him, but Hou Yuduan's reaction greatly surprised him.
"I have heard that the reason The World was divided into the Ten Holy Lands was due to the ten Holy Army Codes of the Great Yu Dynasty. The Military Codes are divided into Holy and Heavenly levels. To become a heavenly major power, one criterion is to possess a Heavenly Military Code!"
Hou Yuxiao looked at Hou Yuduan with a start, a hint of confusion showing on his face.
"Big brother, there are vast seas of books, and I just happened to have browsed one before!"
"By the way, the book I had browsed over before also recorded a Heavenly Military Code called 'Crimson Flame Raging Waves.' I came this time specifically to let you have a look."
Hou Yuxiao watched as Hou Yuduan took out a brand-new volume from his bosom. Upon opening it, he saw the newly transcribed cultivation techniques, clearly written by his hand, and he was stunned for a good half a minute before finally looking up at Hou Yuduan, not managing to say a word for quite some time.
What book can deduce a Heavenly Military Code?
Old Fifth, are you treating your big brother like a fool!
Hou Yuxiao did not believe that Old Fifth, being such a smart person, could not see the questioning in his eyes. However, after waiting a long time, Hou Yuduan did not offer any explanation. After pondering for a long time, he decided to respect Old Fifth and did not push the issue.
Just like he had many things he never explained to them, it was normal for Old Fifth to have some secrets he didn't want to share. He was the big brother, but he did not have the right to know everything.
As long as the five siblings were united at heart, that was enough!
"Big brother, can't you promote cultivation techniques? Can't you find a way to elevate this Heavenly Military Code to... a Saint Monarch Canon?"
This was probably the tacit understanding between brothers. Hou Yuxiao said nothing, only a burst of intense light erupting from his eyes as his answer. He then slowly reviewed the contents of this Heavenly Military Code in his mind, gradually transferring it onto the Good and Evil Divine Lotus in his Sea of Consciousness.
He was the biggest advantage the Hou Clan had by divine grace. The moment he saw the Brahman World Purifying Army and the Earthshade Monastic Soldiers demonstrate their Military Codes, the idea sprang into Hou Yuxiao's mind.
Over the past half a year, he had secretly captured many monastic soldiers from Leiyin Temple, even soldiers from the Brahman World Purifying Army, trying to obtain a Military Code. Unfortunately, these soldiers practiced the Military Codes taught only by the upper echelon with specific operating tracks; the detailed content and techniques were unknown to them, and Hou Yuxiao ended up empty-handed.
He was feeling frustrated about how to acquire a Heavenly Military Code when Hou Yuduan suddenly brought one right to him...
Was the third-tier Hou Clan actually already in possession of a Saint Monarch Canon?
Hou Yuxiao watched as the content of the Holy Army Code gradually emerged in his mind after expending a massive amount of meritorious deeds, a hint of unreal feeling crossing his face.
Yet in his eyes, there was only fiery passion...
