Chapter 331 Alliances from Various Parties
"Myriad Gods Hall? Could it be, could it be..." Yi Xuan's words truly shocked Xi Zhao and the other two, bringing smiles to their faces. Myriad Gods Hall—could it possibly become an ally to them just as the Canglan River Realm had? If that were the case, then Xi Zhao was determined to clinch first place in the Patrolling Celestial World trial. With the combined strength of these three powers, they could completely destroy the allied forces of the Annihilation Demon Nation and the Myriad Demons Country. In this way, no one would be able to stop the Netherworld World.
"Hehe, yes, just as you all thought, Myriad Gods Hall will become our strongest ally. However, Myriad Gods Hall has one condition, which is to ensure that they at least become one of the newly ascended Six Great Divine Nations, though being the last one is also fine," Xi Zhao said, nodding excitedly. "If everything goes smoothly, the final rankings of the new Six Great Divine Nations will be Netherworld World, Genesis Divine Nation, Canglan River Realm, Fangcun Spirit Realm, and Myriad Gods Hall. As for that last spot, it will come down to the fortune of the Ancient Primordial World, Myriad Demons Country, and Annihilation Demon Nation!"@@novelbin@@

Yi Xuan also nodded with a smiling face and said, "My brother will be here soon, representing Myriad Gods Hall and under the identity of this generation's Zhibei, to discuss the details of our tripartite alliance and some general plans for the future. In any case, as long as we three unite and work together, the trial of the Patrolling Celestial World won't be too difficult. Now then, to our happy cooperation, let's all drink this cup together!"
Though it was said that everyone should drink together, aside from Yi Xuan, there were only Sun Wukong and his two companions present. Si Ye and the others from the Canglan River Realm were waiting outside the door of the room, not entering with everyone else for some reason related to status or perhaps some other reason, which had surprised the three companions for a moment.
Si Ye, who was of Domain Lord Level, was still extremely respectful before Yi Xuan. This showed just how high Yi Xuan's status was within the Canglan River Realm. As they chatted and laughed about interesting things, the four of them started to eat and drink. The delicacies prepared by the Canglan River Realm this time were truly unparalleled treasures. Every dish was top-tier in taste, and even Xi Zhao, who once was the Domain Lord of the Annihilation Demon Nation, couldn't stop praising them, let alone Sun Wukong and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero.
With such delicious food coupled with rare wines, the three truly had a feast for the senses. What they hadn't expected was for Yi Xuan to dine and drink without any pretense or reservation, matching them cup for cup, and even initiating toasts to them repeatedly.
After the feast, Xi Zhao and his companions had a greatly improved impression of Yi Xuan. If not for Xi Zhao holding them back, Sun Wukong and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero would have been ready to throw their arms over her shoulders and proclaim a brotherly bond. Indeed, for someone of Yi Xuan's status to dine and drink so freely without airs or attitude was incredibly rare.
In fact, Yi Xuan was only nineteen years old this year, yes, a genuine nineteen. Before becoming the Prophet of the Canglan River Realm, she was quite the mischievous young girl. It was only because her brother, who is the current Zhibei, foresaw some great event about to happen that he reluctantly made Yi Xuan the Prophet of the Canglan River Realm, and he himself entered Myriad Gods Hall and, using the identity of Zhibei, became the Divine Oracle, second only to one and above ten thousand in Myriad Gods Hall.
Furthermore, the reason Myriad Gods Hall had sent Jixin to fight in the Six Kingdoms War was precisely because Zhibei foresaw Jixin's opportunity. Although his strength was not the strongest, he became the ultimate victor and went on to train in an unknown place with the Judge.
Therefore, Yi Xuan's true nature was that of a straightforward young girl, which is why she got along so pleasantly with Sun Wukong and his companions. After the meal was finished, the Water Spirit Maids led Sun Wukong and the others back to their respective rooms to rest. Although it was not yet deep into the night, that meal was not just about satisfying their appetites.
Every dish on the table contained a trace of Primordial Water's power, and after that voracious meal, everyone had accumulated a certain amount of Primordial Water within them. Although among the three, only Xi Zhao had the Mutant Ice Attribute of the Water Attribute, while Sun Wukong was a mix of Earth and Metal Attributes, and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero could be considered of the Dark Attribute, absorbing the power of Primordial Water was beneficial to them in every way and harmed not at all.
If they successfully assimilated the Primordial Water accumulated inside them just now, the strength and resilience of their bodies would certainly reach a new level, with at least a doubled efficiency in understanding and grasping the Water Element in the future. And if they formed an alliance with the people from the Canglan River Realm, they would have to possess a certain degree of mastery over the Water Element.
For this reason, the three were astounded when they later learned the significance of that meal. That meal was probably something not even the six Domain Lords of the Great Divine Nations had ever had the chance to enjoy. Like Xi Zhao, in his former status as the number one person amongst the Nine Great Divine Kingdoms, at most he would consume some Heaven and Earth Treasures possessing Origin Power. To have a meal like that, replete with dishes infused with Origin Power, was truly an unprecedented experience for him.
About half a Chinese Hour after Xi Zhao, Sun Wukong, and the others entered their rooms to rest and ponder over the Primordial Water, a middle-aged man dressed in a cyan Taoist Robe appeared abruptly in the main hall of Canglan Palace. The man had the countenance of a champion and a strikingly handsome face.
"Brother, you're back? How did it go? Is everything arranged with the Myriad Gods Hall?" The newcomer was Zhibei, Yi Xuan's brother, who had been staying in the Myriad Gods Palace. Zhibei glanced toward the direction of the three rooms, nodded slightly, and said, "Everything is arranged properly, and we can enter battle at any time. However, I divined last night and discovered that the situation is not unfolding as simply as I imagined. The divination patterns indicated that the Ancient Primordial World might already be in contact with the Myriad Demons Country and the Annihilation Demon Nation. Moreover, the likelihood of an alliance between the three of them is significant. Those monks' ambitions are not small either!"
As Zhibei spoke, he and Yi Xuan moved to another room. Closing the door, Yi Xuan frowned slightly and said, "Brother, can't we bring the Fangcun Spirit Realm into this too? In a three-versus-three situation, our three parties are at a disadvantage. Plus, the situation in the Patrolling Celestial World is becoming more and more perplexing."
Zhibei sighed lightly, a touch of helplessness in his voice, "I have been considering this matter, but lately, I find that my vision for the future developments of the Netherworld World and the trials in the Patrolling Celestial World is getting murkier. At the beginning of the trials, I could clearly see the unstoppable might of the Netherworld World and Genesis Divine Nation through divination, which is why I started planning the current alliance. But the subsequent rift between the Netherworld and Genesis was unexpected and not shown in the divinations."
"Later on, I could see the emergence of the Burning Fire Stele and"
the defeat of the Myriad Spirits Realm, yet I couldn't see why the Burning Fire Stele suddenly disappeared. Logically, a World Suppressing Stele that had just lost its master shouldn't be able to choose a new one so quickly, and I can confirm for sure that Tongtian is dead. But that Burning Fire Stele just vanished all of a sudden, and not even my divinations could determine its whereabouts. Also, when I tried to predict the Netherworld World's outcomes in the trials of the Patrolling Celestial World, although not fruitless, the visions I saw were exceedingly vague. So I am certain that these trials in the Patrolling Celestial World are definitely not as simple as imagined!"
"As for the Fangcun Spirit Realm, due to its neutral stance and the presence of Dao Zhun, it will become our lifeline when the situation spirals out of control! Alas, a great war is approaching, and chaos will engulf the Six Kingdoms. Yet, as this generation's Zhibei, I not only lack the power to prevent it, but I also cannot discern the true origins and causes of these events. If a great war indeed leads to widespread suffering, I cannot shirk the blame!"
Yi Xuan's expression shifted as she said, "Brother, you can't be blamed for this. You may be Zhibei, but you're not the Savior. Your task is to guide the one who can become the Savior, to overcome evil and ensure the continuation of justice. And I am here with you, don't forget that we are an unprecedented pair of sibling Prophets, capable of guiding twice as much as the past Zhibeis!"
Zhibei patted Yi Xuan's head indulgently and sighed, "We'll take it one step at a time and hope that the one who can save everything will appear soon!" "By the way, brother, I had a dream last night, about something that might turn things around!" "Oh? What was it?" "I dreamt about the Ancient Primordial World's big-bearded..."
Afterward, Yi Xuan whispered into Zhibei's ear. As she spoke, Zhibei's eyes gradually lit up. Eventually, he burst out laughing, "If it's really as you dreamt, that would indeed be wonderful! As long as we can displace the Annihilation Demon Nation and the Myriad Demons Country from their position of Divine Kingdoms, when the time comes, we'll ally with the Netherworld, Myriad Demons, Genesis, Myriad Spirits, and Fangcun to force them to pull their punches. This way, perhaps the great war will be postponed. That would give us more time to find the Savior!"
After Zhibei finished speaking, he rose to his feet and said, "Let's go, the three of them have completed their cultivation. They are truly rare talents, having so quickly refined the power of the Primordial Water." With that, Zhibei walked to the door, pushed it open, and proceeded to another room. Soon, under the guidance of three Water Spirit Maids, Sun Wukong, Xi Zhao, and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero entered the room, each with a smile on their face.
What followed was a discussion of the alliance's details and the next steps and plans. Including Yi Xuan, the five of them talked for a full three Chinese Hours!
While Canglan and Netherworld were negotiating an alliance, the Annihilation Palace of the Annihilation Demon Nation also welcomed two groups of visitors. One group was already quite familiar, from the Myriad Demons Country. Leading them was the Domain Lord Level powerhouse from the Myriad Demons Country, the Purple Kirin Ling Weiyang. Following him was the head of the Five Demon Gods, Fen Yan. Next to Fen Yan was a young man with a hint of madness in his expression and carrying a staff on his back. His name was Long Tian.
The other three individuals came from the Ancient Primordial World. Leading them was the Domain Lord Level powerhouse from the Ancient Primordial World, the Sky Swallowing Buddha Soul Devourer. Behind him was a bald monk with a full beard, holding a very heavy crescent shovel in his hands. This person was naturally the Still Water Buddha, Jing Sha. Standing alongside the Still Water Buddha was a man dressed as a Taoist monk, yet draped with Buddha beads around his neck and wrists, with half of his head shaven and the other half sporting a Taoist topknot. This man, appearing quite peculiar, was named Yu Fan, the Taoist Monk.
