Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Not enough!"

Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

Alkaid, holding the Void Divine Realm under Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu's Dharma Phases, began to negotiate terms with the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance, "Your Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace's spreading of rumors not only shows a lack of responsibility shared by major sects but also severely hinders the progress of reforming the cultivation laws in the Cangwu Great World. I demand that you cooperate with us in our propaganda for the 'Communal Path of Cultivating Immortality' and acknowledge that the previous rumors from the Void Divine Realm originated from your Limitless Star Palace..."

"That's impossible!"

Qiao Zhi immediately refused, "These statements are clearly the mistakes made by some who can't distinguish right from wrong in their impulsiveness, how can their faults force our entire Limitless Star Palace to take the blame?"

"Whether or not it was a mistake made in impulsiveness, we both know very well. Shall I search in their three Void Divine Realms again? I think I am certain to find more evidence."

Alkaid declared.

Lu Xi, standing to the side, knew that if Alkaid continued to "pursue" further, whether evidence would be found or not, he didn't know, but Feng Ao's recently recovered Void Divine Realm would definitely be turned upside down again, leaving him unable to recover for the next decade or so.

He quickly said, "The people below made mistakes that involve the sect's reputation, which indeed went too far. We recognize that these statements have affected Nine Cauldrons Sect's strategic plans, thus, we are willing to offer certain compensation to make up for the losses suffered by Nine Cauldrons Sect."

"Does the Immortal Alliance still have any reputation to speak of?"

Alkaid laughed softly, "You may compensate, but everyone involved in spreading the rumors must be handed over to us at Nine Cauldrons Sect for disposition. We will personally judge their crimes."

"No way! Despite everything, these people are high-ranking members of our Immortal Alliance. If they were all handed over to Nine Cauldrons Sect, where would our Immortal Alliance's face be left?!"

Lu Xi quickly said, "We can assure True Person Alkaid that our judgment will be utterly fair and just..."

Alkaid was in no hurry as he continued to haggle with the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace.

Many cultivators, who had heard the news and came to see, stared at the scene...

Especially people like Longze Chuan and Chi Songzi from the Great Sun Sword Sect, watching Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu, who were suppressed by Alkaid's three Divine Senses and unable to move, all seemed somewhat dazed.

Nine Cauldrons Sect?

How...

In a moment of distraction, this force, which was insignificant compared to their Great Sun Sword Sect even twenty or thirty years ago, had now become so powerful?

By itself, it was contending with the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace?!

Especially incredible was that it was gaining the upper hand.

After all, with the domineering practices of the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace, unless the enemy had become too strong for them to handle, they would absolutely not sit down honestly and negotiate with an opponent.

The Great Sun Sword Sect was just the same.

Those from Xuanming Sect like Song You and Ma Hong, standing on the outskirts of the onlookers, went without saying.

Song You shrank his neck, trying as much as possible to lower his presence.

At the same time, they felt extremely fortunate that they had not continued to oppose Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Let alone the fact that Limitless Star Palace considered them merely as pawns to exhaust Nine Cauldrons Sect, even if Limitless Star Palace were willing to support them strongly against Nine Cauldrons Sect, what of it?

Didn't they see that Limitless Star Palace had no solution against Nine Cauldrons Sect itself?

They dared to rise up...

They would definitely be crushed into powder on the spot.

Whether their sect's legacy could be preserved was very questionable.

"Times have changed, huh."

"I sensed something off at the Cangwu Alliance Conference earlier, but I didn't expect that the change in the wind direction could be so rapid..."

"Nine Cauldrons Sect... it's truly going to soar. As long as the situation in Northern Sea Star doesn't change too drastically, the future of Cangwu Realm will surely be held by Nine Cauldrons Sect."

All sorts of Divine Senses and Divine Insights were passing among the onlookers.

Everyone watching this scene felt their worldviews being overturned.

Previously, Alkaid's and Zhan Ke's and Miller's battle above the Nine Heavens on planet 6713 which broke the stars might have been too distant for some sects lacking even a Star God.

They might have received news from other sources, but it was hard to witness and experience personally.

But now...

The scene where Alkaid, through Nine Cauldrons Sect, alone suppressed three great Dharma Phases of the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace, forcing the two strongest powers of Cangwu Realm to negotiate, deeply impacted everyone's heart.

Only then did they truly realize, belatedly, that the Cangwu Realm had really undergone a monumental change.

The era belonging to Limitless Star Palace and Immortal Alliance was gradually passing, and the future...

At least for the next ten to twenty years, would be the era of Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Although the discussions amongst themselves were conducted through Divine Sense and Divine Insight, with so many top Primordial Spirit Cultivators and Golden Cores around, they were not imperceptible.

For a moment, the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace also realized that if they continued negotiating with Alkaid in this state in front of other sects, it would only result in complete loss of face for both Limitless Star Palace and Immortal Alliance.

They had no choice but to make a decisive decision on the spot.

"The main culprits can be handed over to you for processing, but publicly attributing the rumors as originating from our sect is absolutely unacceptable; this is a red line we will not cross, otherwise..."

Qiao An's eyebrows carried a hint of chill, "I would actually be curious to experience what it would be like when a Sunburst Golden Core completely disregards their state, Mr. Alkaid, if you truly can withstand power comparable to a full unleashing of a stellar force."

"Heh..."

Alkaid chuckled softly, about to say something.

At this moment, Li Hanqiu's Divine Sense echoed in his ear, "It's about enough."

He quickly explained, "Our Nine Cauldrons Sect can bring out a Crimson Red Golden Core. Given the foundations of Limitless Star Palace and Immortal Alliance, they surely can produce a Crimson Red Golden Core, or even a Sunburst Golden Core, as a one-time weapon. Should it come to that step, there would be no victors."

"Sunburst Golden Core..."

After hearing this, Alkaid slightly furrowed his brow.

"Let me play the good cop next," said Li Hanqiu.

"Alright."

Alkaid did not insist any further.

In the final analysis...

He currently only possessed the power to drag a Sunburst Golden Core to death; he was still unable to confront and kill a Sunburst Golden Core directly. In such a situation, once trapped by several fearless Sunburst Golden Cores, his circumstances would still be extremely perilous.

To thoroughly subdue all the Golden Cores in the Cangwu Great World, relying on a single Crimson Red Golden Core Level External Elixir was clearly insufficient.

Only when he truly cultivated a Crimson Red Golden Core, and even ascended to the realm of the Sunburst Golden Core, possessing the power to suppress over thirty Golden Cores in the Cangwu Great World, could he subdue all the sects.

As for preventing them from flipping the table and destroying the Cangwu Great World altogether...

Even the Sunburst Golden Core might not suffice.

He needed to obtain a Blazing White Golden Core, or even reaching the state of the Deep Blue Golden Core, which represented the pinnacle of Golden Core realm.@@novelbin@@

Only then could he instantaneously eliminate all Golden Cores in the world, leaving them no chance to self-detonate and drag the entire Cangwu Great World to destruction.

...

With Li Hanqiu intervening, the highly tense atmosphere was immediately eased.

Ultimately, with the Nine Cauldrons Sect receiving quite a few substantial benefits, the matter came to a conclusion.

As for the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance, they barely managed to save face.

The reason they only just managed to save face was that there were too many onlookers during the negotiation.

If Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu, the three Great Dharma Phases, hadn't been suppressed, they would definitely have sealed off the area first, not letting anyone glimpse the true nature of the negotiations between the Limitless Star Palace, the Immortal Alliance, and the Nine Cauldrons Sect.

Unfortunately, at that time, all three Great Dharma Phases were suppressed by Alkaid, and Alkaid certainly did not care about their dignity, naturally exposing the entire negotiation process for all to see.

Many sects saw the true weakness behind the outward strength of the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance. Although they weren't likely to deliberately spread this information, their fear of the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance would greatly diminish.

It was foreseeable that this incident would have a tremendous impact on the Limitless Star Palace and the Immortal Alliance's global strategic layouts.

Everyone guessed this, but...

No one expected it to come so swiftly.

Just one month after the negotiations ended, situated near the Taiyi Sect, which was about to be completely absorbed by it, the Stellar Sect launched a fierce counterattack against the Taiyi Sect.

Moreover, the counterattack of the Stellar Sect was immediately supported by the Holy Fire Sect, the Blue Sea Sacred Land, the Brahma Heaven Sect, and the Red Moon Gate.

A grand campaign seemed to drive the Taiyi Sect out of the Black Flame Continent...

Or rather, to drive out the influence of the Limitless Star Palace from the Black Flame Continent was suddenly ignited.

This battle, at its inception, didn't even receive the support of any top elite sects; it was simply a desperate resistance by the Stellar Sect as they were driven to their limits.

But...

Everyone knew that the world's number one Limitless Star Palace stood behind the Taiyi Sect.

The Taiyi Sect, supported by the Limitless Star Palace, aimed to swallow the medium-sized Stellar Sect, and yet the Stellar Sect dared to resist?

It was utterly defiant!

But now...

The Stellar Sect truly resisted.

Despite the entire sect being unable to gather even one complete elite Battle Courtyard, compared to the powerful Taiyi Sect, they were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, yet they still launched the first battle against both the Taiyi Sect and the Limitless Star Palace.

The start of this battle undoubtedly signified that since the collapse of the Northern Alliance, the Limitless Star Palace, which had been sitting on the world's number one throne, was already starting to wobble.

...

It was during these drastic changes in the situation of the Cangwu Great World.

Far away in the Alkaid Realm.

The recently repaired Stellar Gate suddenly shone with a bright light visible to the naked eye.

This kind of light...

Certainly signaled that the Stellar Gate was about to be activated.

Soon, Zong Yan, who had come to the Alkaid Realm for retirement and was in charge of the Stellar Gate, received this news.

However, he merely thought that someone from the Cangwu Great World was coming over and did not pay much attention to it.

But when the glow of the Stellar Gate flickered for a whole month, yet never truly opened, appearing...

As if some force was calibrating the coordinates represented by this gate, Zong Yan finally realized something was amiss.

He quickly had another backup gate activated and hastily headed for the Cangwu Great World to convey this message to Alkaid.

And almost as soon as Alkaid received this message...

The internal high-power Stellar Gates of the Limitless Star Palace, the Immortal Alliance, the Myriad Beasts Sect, the Supreme Yin Sect, the Heavenly Law Pavilion, and the Golden Temple also simultaneously shined.

This sudden change instantly made these top sects aware of something.

Northern Sea Star powerhouses returning!?

But why through Stellar Gates and not by Hollow Void powerhouses warping space for their arrival!?

Or possibly...

An invasion by the Moon Demon Empire!?

Not knowing what the simultaneous illumination of these Stellar Gates meant, the situation across the entire Cangwu Great World seemingly paused abruptly as if someone had hit a pause button, suddenly calming down.

Everyone, filled with anxiety and anticipation, stared at the Stellar Gates, waiting for their final activation.
