Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Actually..."

Alkaid held the Dao Artifact that had transformed from the Space-splitting Disk, beckoned with an empty hand, and the entire disk rapidly shrank, soon diminishing from a diameter of ten thousand meters to the size of a palm.

"It truly is a Spiritual Treasure assembled entirely from top-tier materials..."

His expression was somewhat complex.

He had originally hoped that this top-tier Spiritual Treasure would evolve into a Dao Artifact, thereby posing a threat to Jiang Heavenly Venerable, who had achieved the Deep Blue Golden Core. He hadn't expected...

Its materials meant it shouldn't have evolved towards a "slaughtering" direction but rather transformed into a Dao Artifact that could be used by cultivators below the Hollow Void Realm, specifically for traversing the Void.

This function no longer suited the name Space-splitting Disk.

It should be called the Void Disk instead.

Especially since...

This Dao Artifact, aside from being able to create a wormhole for Void traversal, also contained an internal space.

Although the space was not extensive, it still reached half the full size of the Dao Artifact.

That is, a radius of ten miles.

"Even though it is not a Slaughter Category Dao Artifact, having this Dao Artifact's ability to traverse the Void, at least... allows me to take the surrounding... even core members of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, out of the Cangwu Great World."

As Alkaid said this, his expression became a bit unusual.

Their current situation was not so much leaving the Cangwu Realm as it was fleeing.

Even before Jiang Heavenly Venerable had arrived, just the supreme reputation of his Deep Blue Golden Core had scared them all into a disgraceful flee.

This outcome...

Was very embarrassing.

But just as Li Qingshan had said, having green mountains left, no fear of no firewood.

With this thought in mind, his Divine Sense detached and he directly said, "There's no need for everyone to scatter, I have a way to twist the Void and perform Void traversal, to leave the Cangwu Great World. Contact those core members and see how many are willing to leave with us."

Saying this, he sighed, "Currently the Nine Cauldrons Sect is developing well, asking them to abandon their homes is not something everyone can decide on. This process should not be forced. Considering we all belong to the Artifact Sect lineage, Jiang Heavenly Venerable might not utterly annihilate the Nine Cauldrons Sect."

As Li Qingshan was arranging a series of staff movements, he suddenly received this message and was momentarily stunned.

"Twisting the Void!?"

Then, his eyes brimmed with uncontrollable joy, "To twist the Void and perform Void traversal, just like Hollow Void powerhouses!?"

"Yes."

Alkaid nodded slightly.

"Good."

Li Qingshan responded emphatically.

Looking at Alkaid, "The reason why the Nine Cauldrons Sect has the development it has today, True Person Alkaid has contributed hugely. I believe no one would truly be ungrateful, besides, the Nine Cauldrons Sect is the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the Artifact Sect is the Artifact Sect, the nature of the two is completely different. Once Jiang Heavenly Venerable arrives, the Nine Cauldrons Sect has only one fate, to dissolve and return to the former mode of the Artifact Sect..."

"At least we can survive,"

Alkaid said, "That Jiang Heavenly Venerable is exceptionally talented, the Nine Cauldrons Sect turning into the Artifact Sect, others' situations may not necessarily be so difficult."

"It's different, at least for us core members, it's different. Moreover, I think although Jiang Heavenly Venerable's talent is great, your talent, Alkaid, is certainly not inferior to his..."

Li Qingshan spoke, then quickly corrected himself, "No! In my view, your talent is even better! The only reason why your Fission Realm in your forties seems inferior to his Deep Blue Golden Core in his nineties is due to environmental constraints! If you could also go to the Northern Sea Star, in the environment of abundant resources of the Northern Sea Star, I believe you would have already achieved the true Sunburst Golden Core by now, and another ten or so years to achieve the Deep Blue Golden Core would not be far-fetched!"

"You flatter me."

If given limitless resources, with his current Realm, he might even have a shot at the Hollow Void.

But...

Who knows what the situation at the Northern Sea Star really is.

And to what Level its resources belong.

If the resources are plentiful but more difficult to obtain than now, thinking about advancing to Deep Blue Golden Core, it might take decades more.

"I'll go inform the people nearby."

Alkaid declared.

"Good, I'll convene a meeting and simultaneously prepare the necessary supplies for evacuation before other forces react."

Li Qingshan said.

The two briefly exchanged and swiftly went about their tasks.

However, before they could spread the news to all the people around them, from a palace where Li Hanqiu was located above the Nine Heavens, a sudden burst of brilliance illuminating heaven and earth exploded, and in the Void, it was as if a second sun appeared, emitting countless rays and heat, illuminating tens of millions of miles around.

Especially at the center of this brilliant light and high temperature, there audaciously came a tremendous devouring force.

This devouring force directly twisted the Void, emitting fluctuations that were countless times larger than those when the Void Disk in Alkaid's hand had transformed into a Dao Artifact, even instantly alerting all the Golden Cores above the Nine Heavens.

Alkaid within the stars was no exception.

"It's True Person Li's palace!"

He could not be responsible for directing Lin Xia, Leng Jun, Su Yaoyu, Su Yaoxue, and others to pack up, his whole person soared into the air, ascended above the Nine Heavens, and arrived directly outside the starry sky of the Cangwu Great World.

Outside the starry sky, Li Hanqiu's palace had completely disappeared, replaced by a terrifying fireball over a million miles in diameter.

The energy emitted from the fireball was enough to make any observer's spirit tremble.

And as he reached outside the starry sky, the Sunburst Golden Cores of the top Immortal Sects had already arrived in the area one step ahead.

But each of their expressions looked very grim.

Many, looking at the million-mile wide fireball, clearly filled with fury in their eyes.

"Has Li Hanqiu gone mad?! To recklessly release his Golden Core, attempting to collapse it into a black hole!?"

"The success rate for a Sunburst Golden Core to collapse into a black hole is less than 1%, and if he fails, the resulting energy from the Golden Core's explosion would certainly have a major impact on the entire Cangwu Great World! Does he want to die and take the Cangwu Great World with him!?"

"Nine Cauldrons Sect, what exactly are you trying to do!?"

These Golden Cores were outraged.

Upon seeing Alkaid arrive, some even directed severe questioning at him.

But this time, Alkaid showed no mercy at all and retorted, "Are you blind? Can't you see that True Person Li from the Nine Cauldrons Sect is breaking through to the Hollow Void Realm?"

"You..."

The Golden Core was about to say something, but someone next to him held him back.

"Haven't you seen yet? Jiang Heavenly Venerable has already arrived, and he knows what happened in the Alkaid Realm. He is probably heading straight to the Cangwu Realm by now. Once he arrives, the only fate awaiting the Nine Cauldrons Sect is a dead end. In this situation, Li Hanqiu could only choose to fight desperately, gambling on that less than 1% chance to break through to the Hollow Void Realm... If he succeeds, even Jiang Zhanchuan would be wary of him, and the Nine Cauldrons Sect might have a chance to survive. If he fails... well, it won't make much difference once Jiang Zhanchuan arrives."

The Golden Core said, his tone somewhat complex, "Li Hanqiu has indeed gone mad... But without doing this, he, their Nine Cauldrons Sect, won't stand a chance of survival."

Another Golden Core Realm cultivator also spoke, "Alright, let's continue waiting. Let's see if a miracle will occur on Li Hanqiu, and at the same time, wait for the arrival of Jiang Heavenly Venerable's true body."

The surrounding Golden Cores nodded in agreement.

Even though they wanted to take down Alkaid and the Nine Cauldrons Sect right there, they were well aware that Li Hanqiu was desperately trying to break through to the Hollow Void Realm. To really make a move against Alkaid, even if they could win, they would inevitably pay a hefty price in blood, even life.

Without Jiang Heavenly Venerable's arrival and his certain promises, it would be too foolish to simply throw away their lives.

If one wants to desperately serve, it must be done in a conspicuous position, so that those above can see their effort.

...

"Hollow Void!"

Alkaid stood outside Li Hanqiu's palace, his thoughts rapidly turning.

He imagined if there were any ways to help Li Hanqiu get through this calamity.

After a moment, he actually realized something.

Dao Artifact!

The Dao Artifact in his hand, the Void Disk!

If he could get this artifact to assist, the likelihood of Li Hanqiu successfully breaking through to the Hollow Void wouldn't exactly shoot up...

But at least it would increase by a few percentage points!

But...

If he took out this Dao Artifact he had just enlightened for Li Hanqiu, should Jiang Heavenly Venerable arrive during this time, he would completely lose hope of escaping the Cangwu Great World.

At that moment, Alkaid struggled intensely in his heart.

Yet, in just a short moment, he ultimately made a decision.

He couldn't know when Jiang Heavenly Venerable would arrive, nor what kind of destruction he would bring upon arrival.

But what he did know was that if he didn't give the Void Disk to Li Hanqiu now...

This Sunburst Golden Core that had protected the Nine Cauldrons Sect for a century would undoubtedly perish.

In comparison to things that had not yet happened, it was more important to seize the present moment.

With this thought, Alkaid immediately threw the Void Disk in his hand, injecting it into the terror-inducing Golden Core transformed by Li Hanqiu, which had swelled to a diameter of a million miles, akin to a stellar object.

And as the Void Disk was injected, the Golden Core violently trembled, and soon, the devouring force emanating from it grew even more fierce and majestic. The distortion it caused to space was nearly starting to affect the Cangwu Great World.

...

Time passed.

Three days, five days, ten days...

The breakthrough attempt by Li Hanqiu continued without cease.

The terrifying devouring force grew stronger, and the distortion of space became increasingly pronounced.@@novelbin@@

This change gradually turned the furious expressions of the Golden Cores, who had hated Li Hanqiu, into ones of astonishment.

Because...

According to the records of the top Immortal Sects, the signs shown by Li Hanqiu were actually very similar to those of a successful ascension.

This made them find it hard to believe.

A less than 1% chance, and Li Hanqiu managed to come across it!?

How could that be possible!?

Just as the many Golden Cores were doubtful and even started to think the signs on Li Hanqiu were increasingly resembling those of ascending to the Hollow Void, around the Cangwu Great World's outer periphery, a vast yet refined and profound void fluctuation spread out.

It was like the calm starry sky suddenly distorted and collapsed, followed by ripples spreading out...

Before these ripples could fully spread out, the distorted, collapsing void suddenly returned to calm.

But within this now calm void, there were two added figures.

One, a tall man in a purple robe with silver long hair, appearing to be in his thirties, with a deep blue crystal stone on his forehead.

And the other, half a step behind the man, an elder whose mere aura distorted the surrounding space.

Lin Deng, Feng Ao, Luo Fu, and Ye Lisha, the four Dharma Phases who were constantly attentive to the developments in the outer periphery of the Cangwu Great World, quickly sensed this spatial anomaly and "saw" these two figures who suddenly appeared in the starry space around the Cangwu Great World's periphery.

When they "saw" the tall man in the purple robe, having obtained portraits from Susan and others, the four Dharma Phases immediately woke up.

Each one couldn't help but gasp.

"Jiang Heavenly Venerable!"

"He has arrived."

"And he didn't arrive using a Starry Sky Boat, nor did he recalibrate the Stellar Sect... He used space twisting for direct, brute-force spatial traversal to reach the Cangwu Great World!?"

At this moment, the four Dharma Phases quickly alerted the Golden Cores of their factions to welcome him, their gazes involuntarily sweeping over Li Hanqiu who was nearing the end of breaking through to the Hollow Void...

Though from the bottom of their hearts they couldn't believe that Li Hanqiu had actually hit that less than 1% chance and taken that step, reality was before their eyes.

Now that Jiang Heavenly Venerable had also burst through the void, and the person beside him...

"Hmm?! Wait!? The Hollow Void protecting Jiang Heavenly Venerable's arrival is Wan Liugui!?"

"The only Hollow Void of the Artifact Sect... Well, it makes sense since Jiang Heavenly Venerable returned to the Cangwu Great World for ancestor worship and to rebuild the Artifact Sect, bringing the Artifact Sect's Hollow Void as a protector is reasonable, but... as I recall, Wan Liugui... is Li Hanqiu's master, and they have a good master-disciple relationship!?"

"Li Hanqiu has made a desperate attempt and succeeded in breaking through to the Hollow Void! And the person acting as protector and escorting Jiang Heavenly Venerable to the Cangwu Great World for ancestor worship is Li Hanqiu's master!? This..."

"I'm baffled! It feels like big things are about to unfold!"
