Chapter 259 Destruction
Outside Dragon Majestic City.
Alkaid descended upon the square where the Subordinate World's Stellar Gate was located.
Having received advance notice, the staff of Nine Cauldrons Sect were already busily adjusting the Stellar Gate.
Even Huang Wei, the Hall Master of Mystic Formation Hall from the Nine Heavens Domain sub-sect, had personally arrived at the scene to assist with the operation of the Star Formation.
"Hasn't the formation been activated yet? Wasn't it said that the Stellar Gate connecting to the Alkaid Realm had already been improved?"
Seeing the ceaseless busyness of everyone, Tang Fenghua, who was with them, could not help but ask with a hint of urgency.
"Improvements have been made, and in theory, it should take at most a month to complete the calibration of the Stellar Gate and then open it, but... we can't lock onto the coordinates of the Alkaid Realm."
Huang Wei said anxiously.
"Can't lock onto the coordinates of the Alkaid Realm?"
Tang Fenghua was somewhat puzzled, "What do you mean?"
"Let me have a look."
Alkaid, who had just arrived at the scene, said.
Huang Wei glanced at Alkaid.
Stellar gate formations, compared to Spirit Gathering Arrays, defensive formations, amplifying formations, and offensive formations, belong to another system entirely. Although Alkaid, the True Person, was proficient in various formations, when it came to stellar gates...
Thinking this, she quickly stepped aside.
Over the years, Alkaid had created countless miracles. In the realms of Artifact Refining and formations, it seemed there was nothing he did not excel in. Now that he was inspecting the Stellar Gate, perhaps he could truly ascertain the reason.
In front of the Stellar Gate.
Alkaid personally began operating the Stellar Gate.
Meanwhile, information about Stellar Gates that he was originally reluctant to overcrowd his mind with also began to surface in his thoughts.
The Stellar Gate involved various aspects, among them seemed to be Void Studies. Even though Alkaid's level in formations had skyrocketed to the tenth, he still dared not claim to have understood all the information related to the Stellar Gate.
However, the gate in front of them was pre-existing; operating this Stellar Gate did not require a cultivator to build one from scratch but merely to oversee its initiation.
Just as a vehicle driver does not need to know how to construct a vehicle, learning how to drive enables him to use it.
In this case, Alkaid's inspection quickly yielded results.
"All parameters of the Stellar Gate are normal, but it simply can't lock onto the Alkaid Realm,"
Alkaid said, his brows furrowed in confusion.
Why were all the parameters of the Stellar Gate normal yet it couldn't lock onto the Alkaid Realm?
This question was very contradictory.
Huang Wei, who was beside him, nodded in agreement, "I've also thoroughly inspected it and performed various operations, this anomaly is not an issue with the Stellar Gate... It seems like it's coming from the Alkaid Realm?"
"Has the Stellar Gate on the other side been destroyed?"
Tang Fenghua sharply guessed something and his expression slightly changed.
After all, more than a month ago there was news from Alkaid Realm saying that someone was calibrating the coordinates of Alkaid to gain access.
Now, those from the Northern Sea Star, belonging to Limitless Star Palace, Immortal Alliance, and Myriad Beasts Sect had all arrived. The possibility that Jiang Heavenly Venerable, who wished to "return home for ancestral rites" and connected to the Stellar Gate of Alkaid Realm, had reached the Alkaid Realm was not nonexistent.
In this way, their further attempts to reach Alkaid Realm by demolishing its Stellar Gate to make Jiang Heavenly Venerable realize the truth about the destruction of the Jiang Family seemed a bit too late.
"No, the reaction wouldn't be this if the opposite Stellar Gate was damaged or if there was no gate at all… From the feedback we are getting from our side of the Stellar Gate… it's like…"
Huang Wei organized her speech, and after a while, she finally said, "It's as if the Alkaid Realm… no longer exists."
"No longer exists? What do you mean 'no longer exists'?"
Tang Fenghua couldn't help but ask again.
"Just as the words imply, it's as if there is no planet, no realm at all at the other side of the Stellar Gate,"
Huang Wei said, herself somewhat in disbelief.
After all...
How could such a vast Alkaid Realm suddenly disappear?
It simply couldn't possibly...
Just then, as if perceiving something, Alkaid suddenly raised his head, looking towards the vast expanse of the starry sky above.
...
At the same time.
Above the Nine Heavens, the Golden Cores from Limitless Star Palace and Immortal Alliance were gathered together, discussing their stance towards the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
"So... Nine Cauldrons Sect is Nine Cauldrons Sect, Artifact Sect is Artifact Sect, so our congratulations to Nine Cauldrons Sect don't mean much? Even, what you're saying is, forcing Nine Cauldrons Sect to relinquish the territory originally belonging to Artifact Sect, so as to allow Jiang Zhanchuan to rebuild Artifact Sect in its original territory, and restore the glory of Artifact Sect as a top Immortal Sect from a hundred years ago?"
Yang Han looked at Lu Xi, who was speaking, his expression full of inquiry.
"Yes."
Lu Xi nodded, "Although over the years as Nine Cauldrons Sect has gradually grown stronger, some who once looked down on Nine Cauldrons Sect have returned, their situations aren't good. Nearly everyone who returned faced purges, with the lighter cases having to surrender property and technology to save their lives, and the severe cases even having to face the judgment of Nine Cauldrons Sect. Therefore, we can completely support these people, recognize them as the legitimate Artifact Sect, and jointly force Nine Cauldrons Sect to leave. It seems that Nine Cauldrons Sect certainly doesn't have the courage to defy the will of us all."
"Do you know what you're doing? You're trying to use Jiang Zhanchuan!"
Yang Han said in a deep voice.
"But we need to rebuild the Artifact Sect, and the presence of the Nine Cauldrons Sect is unavoidable."
Lu Xi said, "Previously, all the sects scattered like sand, not daring to confront the Nine Cauldrons Sect of Alkaid to the bitter end. But this time, the scenario is different. With Jiang Zhanchuan as our backbone, even if someone unfortunately loses their life, their death will be highly significant and remembered by Jiang Zhanchuan... Moreover, if all of our Golden Cores strike together, neither Alkaid nor Li Hanqiu will likely have the capability to drag any of us down with them."
"Alright, let's wait for Jiang Zhanchuan to return before making any decisions,"
Susan waved her hand, "Jiang Zhanchuan is a person who values loyalty deeply, and that's a big reason why the Jade Emperor Supreme took him as a direct disciple. If by chance Jiang Zhanchuan approves of the Nine Cauldrons Sect's heritage and intends to integrate them as support within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, our presumptions might provoke his dissatisfaction."
"Indeed, we also hadn't anticipated the situation in Cangwu Realm to be this complex. We thought the Artifact Sect, like the Yang Divine Sect and Pill Sect, had declined. Coming back ahead of time to rebuild the Artifact Sect would certainly make an impression on Jiang Zhanchuan. We didn't expect the Emergence of Nine Cauldrons Sect... We should keep calm until we clear up Jiang Zhanchuan's stance," said He La.
Yang Han and others also nodded in agreement.
Lu Xi, Qiao An, Zhan Ke, and the others seeing this, could only suppress their cunning thoughts, "Then when will Jiang Zhanchuan return?"
"The whereabouts of Jiang Zhanchuan are beyond our means to find. just waiting patiently will suffice."@@novelbin@@
Susan stated blandly.
However, since Qiao An asked this question, she ultimately added another sentence: "Given Jiang Zhanchuan's character, to keep up his persona, he should return soon."
Upon hearing this, everyone had to continue waiting patiently.
But just then, Feng Ao, who was always responsible for gathering intelligence, suddenly said, "I don't know Jiang Zhanchuan's attitude towards the Nine Cauldrons Sect, but his feelings towards Alkaid are certainly ones of extreme disgust, even to the extent of wishing to end him immediately."
At these words, everyone's attention turned to him, waiting for his explanation.
Feng Ao didn't hide anything and directly said, "Ever since Alkaid emerged, I've used every possible means to gather all his information. Apart from finding out he comes from a subordinate world... I even managed to grasp his experiences in that subordinate world..."
"Alkaid coming from a subordinate world is no secret, what's the point of raising this now? Are you suggesting he colluded with the Moon Demon Empire? This excuse may not be very effective."
Lin Deng was somewhat puzzled on the side.
"I'm not referring to that point. Before Alkaid became the lord of that subordinate world, that world was a part of the Artifact Sect's territory and theoretically managed by a foundation establishment family from the Xie clan. But in reality, I discovered that while the Xie clan managed that Artifact Nurturing Realm, the Jiang family never left, seemingly wanting to monopolize that world," Feng Ao recounted, then quickly added, "The Jiang Family originally rose from this world, hence they are very emotionally attached to this realm... As compared to the Artifact Sect, this world should be their true homeland."
At these words, everyone's expression changed simultaneously.
Susan was particularly stricken, saying, "The Jiang family still hasn't left, and they want to monopolize that world!? But now that world has become the Alkaid Realm!? The people of the Jiang family..."
"If the Artifact Sect was still around, the transition of power between the old and new hegemons might have been peaceful, but the Artifact Sect doesn't exist anymore, and Alkaid has become the master of that Artifact Nurturing Realm. The fate of the old hegemonic Jiang Family under such circumstances doesn't need my clarification. At least, the first batch of people who came from the Alkaid Realm didn't include anyone from the Jiang family," Feng Ao added swiftly.
At these words, Zhan Ke, Miller, Qiao An, and Lu Xi were shocked yet thrilled.
Unexpectedly, while Susan and the others were all against acting against the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the situation took a sudden turn.
Alkaid has completely offended Jiang Zhanchuan on his own.
Meanwhile, Susan, Yang Han, and He La were both shocked and furious.
"Are you telling the truth!?"
"How dare he! How can Alkaid dare to be so utterly rebellious!?"
"Is this... equivalent to annihilating one of Jiang Zhanchuan's Jiang family lines!? Perhaps just a line that isn't highly valued, but such a massacre... this guy named Alkaid is truly courting death!"
Jiang Zhanchuan, what a tremendously talented person he is.
Ever since he was taken as a direct disciple by the Jade Emperor Supreme, he has become the hope of their Cangwu lineage.
The future position of the Cangwu lineage within the Taiyi Immortal Sect, obtaining more benefits, and gaining more influence, all rely on Jiang Zhanchuan."

But at present, with not many of the Jiang family surviving, Alkaid had completely annihilated the line Jiang Heavenly Venerable left in his "hometown"...
This action, dying a million times couldn't cleanse the sin from him.
At this moment, Luo Fu from Limitless Star Palace, who hadn't said much so far, suddenly cried out, "Look! In the depths of the starry sky, I've marked the coordinates for you!"
Although the rest didn't know why Luo Fu suddenly directed them to look into the depths of the starry sky at such a critical moment, they all still used secret techniques to look towards the coordinates he provided.
Upon looking...
They quickly saw what it was.
"Is a world shattered?"
"Did the Thousand Realms outside the Great Cangwu World lose one more world?"
"Alright, there's nothing worth seeing, a star turning into cosmic dust is an everyday occurrence at the Northern Sea battlefield. Let's get back to discussing how to deal with Jiang Zhanchuan's issue and how to deal with this scourge named Alkaid."
After watching, the interest of the Golden Cores present waned.
Such an event would still be quite lively normally, but now...
They really weren't in the mood.
However, Feng Ao, who was observing that spot for a moment, suddenly realized something, "Wait, that position... that world... couldn't be..."
"It's the Alkaid Realm."
Meeting his gaze, Luo Fu nodded emphatically, directly confirming, "The Alkaid Realm has been destroyed."
What do you think?
