Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"As long as our growth rate is fast enough to easily resolve crises, we become the crisis..."

Li Hanqiu listened to what Alkaid said, repeatedly muttering to himself.

After a while, he responded, "Well said."

To be able to calmly declare that one is the crisis itself.

What tremendous confidence!

However...

Recalling the various miracles Alkaid had created at the Nine Cauldrons Sect over the years...

Had his time not been slowed down by Artifact Refining and Formations, but instead focused solely on cultivation, how quickly could he have grown!

In his understanding, cultivation bottlenecks seemed nonexistent for Alkaid.

What truly impacted his growth were the many times that required meticulous attention and resource accumulation.

Yet in the Northern Sea Star, resources were abundant, with the Pure Yang Great Pill, Void Dao Elixir, and other top-notch resources available, easily overcoming the phases of meticulous refinement and resource buildup.

If he could truly obtain self-sufficient resources, how fast would his growth be?

At this thought, Li Hanqiu looked at Alkaid somewhat emotionally, his tone carrying a hint of apology, "It's because I am older and lack the drive, I've actually developed some self-limiting thoughts..."

"It's only that the changes in the Nine Cauldrons Sect have been too great recently, prompting the True Monarch to opt for a safer approach."

Alkaid understood Li Hanqiu's implication and said, "In this world, nothing is absolutely certain, nor is any place absolutely safe, but as long as we become powerful enough, the people, events, and things that can threaten us will naturally become fewer. Therefore, what I must do now is become stronger as quickly as possible."

Li Hanqiu nodded, "You've always been a thoughtful person, and indeed, your ideas have proven to be correct. So, just as you've suggested, go ahead and do it freely. If you need any support, just ask."

"I was initially considering taking a batch of Great Divine Powers and selling them, but then I thought, selling a batch of Great Divine Powers is not as good as selling a Supreme Divine Power directly."

Alkaid said, "A Supreme Divine Power is worth ten, dozens, or even tens of times more than a Great Divine Power. If we sell eight or ten Great Divine Powers, the frequent transactions will inevitably attract attention, but a Supreme Divine Power... although it would cause a huge stir, as long as we act quickly, sell it and then disappear at the fastest speed, we can definitely achieve a one-time substantial gain."

"Supreme Divine Power!?"

Li Hanqiu was secretly shocked.

He hadn't expected Alkaid to possess such a legacy.

But then thinking of the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique...

The value of this cultivation technique was certainly not less than that of a Supreme Divine Power.

Right away, he agreed, "Just like you said, with an environment like the Northern Sea Star, since we've come here, do we really expect to live peacefully? What does not carry risks? Let's proceed as you have suggested!"

Alkaid nodded, "Before that, we need to make thorough preparations. First, True Monarch, you need to completely refine the Domain Stabilizing Ring and the Void Disk... Secondly, I have a secret technique here that if you can master, can completely conceal the traces of the Hollow Void War Immortal on you, making you seem like a true Hollow Void. Thirdly, I will modify the Void Disk again, adjusting this Dao Artifact's essence to make its divine presence obscure..."

He smiled, "The risky part of selling divine skills usually occurs after the transaction. With you disguised as a true Hollow Void and later utilizing a 'Spiritual Treasure' to bend space in the Northern Sea Star and perform Void Traversing, I believe these methods will definitely scare off those with ill intentions."

"A true Hollow Void."

Upon hearing this, Li Hanqiu felt relieved.

A true Hollow Void is considered at the Elder Level even among the Ten Great Immortal Paths.

With a combat power between 10 million and 20 million, it's far more intimidating than the deterrent force of having 1 million to 10 million, fully sufficient to manage the gains from selling a Supreme Divine Power.

Indeed, Alkaid's considerations were always comprehensive, never taking risks without sufficient confidence.

They should definitely trust him more.

"We'll go with your plan."

Li Hanqiu said.

"The backing from Dashang behind the Eastern Sea Immortal Market is reputable, despite some minor issues. But they still care about their reputation. This immortal market holds an auction every ten years, and the next one is in a year. We'll sell our Supreme Divine Power there, at that time."

Alkaid said.

"You want to hand over the Supreme Divine Power for auction at the Eastern Sea Immortal Market?"

Li Hanqiu frowned.

"Of course not. Although the Eastern Sea Immortal Market is somewhat reputable, that still depends on how much profit is involved. If we let them auction this Supreme Divine Power, the chances of it being swapped is not 10 out of 10 but definitely 7 or 8 out of 10."

Alkaid straightforwardly said, "The scale of the auction in the Eastern Sea Immortal Market is not small, and top-notch items always appear. We could choose one to bid on, then claim we are short of funds and put up the Supreme Divine Power for sale right there, not giving them the chance to tamper with it. Considering the potential to acquire this Supreme Divine Power, there will surely be many people responding to our offer."

"This is indeed the safest method."

Li Hanqiu nodded, "With only one year left to prepare, there's no time to lose. I will go and refine the Domain Stabilizing Ring and the Void Disk right away."

Upon saying this, he felt emotional, "Using these two treasures for a Hollow Void War Immortal like myself... really is a waste of heavenly resources..."

"For now, using these two treasures would indeed be more cost-effective for True Monarch,"

Alkaid said, smiling, "I look forward to your good news."

Li Hanqiu nodded.

Alkaid also instructed Li Qingshan, "During this time, pick a batch of people to be the Sect's key training personnel. Others... will just have to wait, or it depends on their willingness."

"Alright."

Li Qingshan responded.

After discussing some more details, Alkaid also left.

And as soon as Alkaid had left, Li Hanqiu suddenly said, "For those with average talent, I think, let them follow the path of the War Immortal."

"War Immortal!?"

Li Qingshan was startled, "These people have followed us from Cangwu to the Northern Sea Star..."

"Even in Cangwu, their only path is that of the War Immortal."

Li Hanqiu spoke, pausing for a moment, "You must have realized, after this transaction, Alkaid intends to use some elixirs to train these people. However, this Supreme Divine Power belongs solely to Alkaid and has no connection with our Nine Cauldrons Sect. Although I paid a personal fee and taking a share of the elixirs is not much, we of the Nine Cauldrons Sect... cannot solely depend on Alkaid. Otherwise, how is that any different from lying on him and sucking his blood?"

His expression gradually grew serious, "Allowing some people to walk the path of the War Immortal...ultimately helps form combat power quickly, which could assist Alkaid."

"I understand."

Li Qingshan nodded solemnly.

"Don't tell Alkaid about this matter, lest he feels guilty," Li Hanqiu added, "Moreover... if these people choose the path of the War Immortal and can exploit their talents, they can always return from Stellar Ring Nine Refinements despite it being problematic. That is still better than living a life of mediocrity and waiting to die."

"I understand."

Li Qingshan responded affirmatively.

The two quickly discussed the list for the first batch of key trainees.

Simultaneously, Lin Xia, Su Yaoxue, and Leng Jun, despite being relatively inferior, were included in this list.

...

Alkaid returned to his residence.

Being the second-in-command next to Li Hanqiu, he naturally had his own mountain peak at the Cloudsoar Sword Sect.

On the mountain peak, hundreds of members from the Su Family had already been arranged to stay.

However, since the mountain originally housed one of the four Crimson Red Golden Cores of the Cloudsoar Sword Sect, these people held high status within the Sect and the mountain contained numerous pavilions, courtyards, and palaces—more than enough to accommodate hundreds, even thousands, or tens of thousands of people.

Under these circumstances, the mountain reserved solely for the Su Family seemed quite spacious and desolate.

When Alkaid returned to his courtyard, he swept the area with his Divine Sense.

Su Yaoyu was busy recording something.

Su Yaoxue was still diligently cultivating, occasionally consulting Lin Xia.

Due to the gap in talent, Lin Xia had already reached the peak of the Unity Realm, while she had just barely broken through to the Unity Realm.

Su Yaoshuang...

She sat alone in the room, occasionally looking outside with a somewhat lonely and sad expression.

Not just her, the usually undisturbed Su Yaoqin was the same.

Seeing this, Alkaid fell silent for a moment.

The true greatest harm brought by the destruction of the Alkaid Realm was not to him but rather to Su Yaoyu, Su Yaoxue, and others.

The always strong Su Yaoyu used relentless work to numb herself, never showing the slightest emotion.

And Su Yaoxue...

Cultivated even more rigorously.

His Divine Sense could tell that many parts of her body had already developed problems.

She had overtrained.

If she wasn't given some elixirs to adjust her condition, and ignited the Fission Fire, stepping into the Heavenly Fire Realm, she would surely burn herself to death.

The reason she trained to such extremes was clearly because the destruction of the Alkaid Realm stimulated her, making her realize how weak she truly was.

As for Su Yaoshuang, Su Yaoqin...

They truly lacked talent and capability.

Facing a disaster that obliterated an entire realm, and even forced the entire Nine Cauldrons Sect to flee, they had no choice but to suffer in silence.

They even didn't dare to show it openly.

Alkaid's mind flashed again with images of the destruction of the Alkaid Realm.

That radiant light...

Was so dazzling.

However...

"It won't be long."

Alkaid said to himself, "That day will come soon."

As to what exactly it was...

He did not say.

He went directly to the original cultivation room of the Crimson Red Golden Core Level Elder of the Cloudsoar Sword Sect and transformed it to also serve as a workspace.

The room was large enough to afford ample space for the transformation.

After transforming the cultivation room, he took out all the remaining Spiritual Treasures and materials he had.

These treasures and materials would be wasted if not used.

It might as well be worth attempting to refine another Dao Artifact.

If they could have one more Dao Artifact, they would have an additional trump card.

In times of danger, their probability of turning the situation around would also be higher.
