Chapter 569: Naadam (2)
There are eighteen stone chairs in the One Sword Hall of Ipwang Fortress. That number included the seat of the Divine Sword Unit Commander.
Among them, the seat that always filled up the fastest was essentially fixed.
That was the seat of the Myungryu Corps Commander.
Quite literally, because it was immortal.
When the original Myungryu Commander died, the spiritual energy of the deceased was retrieved into the Secret Formation beneath Ipwang Fortress.
And the newly appointed master accepted it.
Into a body just before death.
The spiritual essence flowing from the Secret Formation of Ipwang Fortress intervened in that dying body and held onto life, achieving the state known as the Trifold Convergence.
A grand technique passed down only to the chief officials of the General Office and the Myungryu Commander and Vice Commander.
The energy expenditure, the mystical treasures, and the engineered formations consumed in the process were nearly equivalent to the military funding of a vast border.
Artificially creating something like the black-rank final weapons of the defensive corps was simply impossible.
Thus, the Myungryu Commander spent their remaining life inhabiting a corpse. Naturally, there was no need for nourishment, and the seat would never again become vacant.
