Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Fellow Daoist of the Whirling Dance?

Alkaid heard this and looked somewhat surprised.

However, upon further contemplation, he understood why Yun Miao Dao Lord had made such a conjecture.

Besides the Daoist of the Whirling Dance, which Dao Lord would risk offending the Sun and Star Sect and rush to the Yun Ji Starport to rescue Sun Xing?

Especially since...

The mastery of the Void he displayed at this moment was far stronger than Yun Miao's.

This made the Dao Lord think of him as the mysterious and unfathomable Daoist of the Whirling Dance...or even a Dao Venerable.

Not just him; Huang Feng, Fu Hai, and other True Monarchs, upon hearing what Yun Miao Dao Lord said, also realized suddenly.

At this moment, they finally understood why Alkaid could travel billions of light-years safely, and how he could effortlessly rescue Sun Xing from the Yun Ji Starport!

"How domineering the Sun and Star Sect is, my friend. Even seeing a talented individual teaching a thing or two at Yun Ji Starport has to be suppressed by the Sun and Star Sect. This clearly shows their disregard for any Dao Lord, and indeed all Dao Lords under heaven. Especially since they monopolize the Gate of the Immortal Realm, denying any Dao Lord the opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm. Their tyranny is displayed most vividly. Being a Dao Lord born in this starry sky, would you really stand by idly and watch this happen, allowing the Sun and Star Sect to continue flaunting their power?"

Yun Miao Dao Lord said indignantly.

"You've mistaken me for someone else."

Alkaid responded calmly, "However... with your powers, how can you oppose the Sun and Star Sect?"

Yun Miao Dao Lord was slightly taken aback upon hearing what Alkaid had said.

He had not admitted his identity.

But, whether he admitted it or not was not important.

The fact that he asked about it proved that he indeed cared about the domineering issue of the Sun and Star Sect.

"Since my friend is not willing to admit his identity for now, I shall address you as Dao Friend Alkaid then," Yun Miao Dao Lord said with a smile. "The world has long suffered under the Sun and Star Sect. It's not only me, Yun Miao, who wishes to resist the Sun and Star Sect. There are hundreds of dissatisfied Dao Lords regarding their monopolistic practices over the celestial gates. Especially now that the Gate of the Immortal Realm has entered the opening state, merely expressing the attitude, and willing to stand up against the Sun and Star Sect, we have no fewer than a hundred Dao Lords."

"Hmm?"

Alkaid was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

The Gate of the Immortal Realm is in the opening state already?

Depending on various factors, the opening state often lasts for a while—decades if short, hundreds of years if long.

On the Northern Sea Star, this period is the most intense time for Dao competition.

Especially just before the Gate of the Immortal Realm fully opens, all Dao Lords exert their utmost to expel other Dao Lords within the vicinity of the gate to ensure that they can be the first to integrate into the Great Dao of their alignment within the Immortal Realm, following the guidance of the Power of the Great Dao to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

The gate occupied by the Sun and Star Sect is already opening...

The time left for resistant forces is running out.

However...

"If there are no fewer than a hundred Dao Lords, then defeating the Sun and Star Sect should not be difficult. After all, even if the Sun and Star Sect has more Dao Lords, the maximum they can muster would be fifty or so. The advantage lies with you," Alkaid said.

"That's true, but our side, although comprising over a hundred Dao Lords, is ultimately a hastily gathered force. Although we are formidable in number, we don't have the same cohesion as the Sun and Star Sect, who belong to the same Sect and cooperate seamlessly. Moreover, the Sun and Star Sect has set up multiple grand formations at their Sect and the Gate of the Immortal Realm, especially at the location of the Gate. They have combined six top-tier formations into one, capable of unleashing power nearly at the Immortal Formation Level, led by the invincible figure of Jin Guang Dao Venerable... The deterrent is too great..." Yun Miao Dao Lord explained, pausing mid-sentence.

Therefore, we need a strong leader to stand against Jin Guang Dao Venerable, to inspire the morale of all Dao Lords..."

"Wait a minute! A Dao Venerable? Does the Sun and Star Sect still have a Dao Venerable in this era?" Alkaid asked, adding, "And the Whirling Dance Dao Venerable? Two Dao Venerables in the same era?"

Yun Miao Dao Lord was taken aback for a moment before explaining, "A Dao Venerable is a title used to refer to those who are virtually unbeatable by numbers alone. Jin Guang Dao Venerable, if he leaves the Sun and Star Sect, might only be able to contend against ten of us Dao Lords at most. But within the Sun and Star Sect, leveraging the power of formation, he indeed possesses the force of a Dao Venerable."

After finishing, he glanced at Alkaid.

From his expression...

It seemed he truly didn't know that the term Dao Venerable was actually an honorific for the top figures among the invincible Dao Lords?

So...

Is he really not the Whirling Dance Dao Venerable?

"Is that all?"

This explanation left Alkaid somewhat disappointed.

He had initially held some expectations for the Daoist of the Whirling Dance.

But... the Dao Venerable of this starry sky turned out to be just a title? Is that the level?

It seems like everyone is trying to associate themselves with the Dao Venerable status, falsely enhancing their own prestige."

Moreover, Alkaid had also understood the earlier words of Yun Miao Dao Lord.

More than a hundred Dao Lords had responded to their call against the Sun and Star Sect, which sounded good in theory...

However, in practice, they were nothing more than a motley crew.

They were the type to rush forward faster than anyone when plundering opportunities, but during the actual battle to break formations, they dawdled and lagged behind everyone else.

Once the situation turned adverse, without waiting for results, they would disperse at the first opportunity, prioritizing their own safety.

The philosophy being "Better him than me."

Every individual is self-serving, thinking only of avoiding difficulties and reaping all the benefits.

With such an attitude, the unified Dao Lords of the Sun and Star Sect could easily scatter even a force of twice their number in hundreds of Dao Lords.

"Fellow Daoist, our side has already gathered a substantial number of Dao Lords, just waiting to be ready, and we will assault the Sun and Star Sect. Seeing that you have been traveling across the stars, obviously in search of an opportunity to ascend to the Immortal Realm, why not join us in a raid on the Sun and Star Sect to test the true weight of this force?"

Yun Miao Dao Lord earnestly invited.

"Join forces with you?"

Alkaid spoke, glancing at his disciple who had hurriedly come: "No hurry, the attitude of your disciple just now was quite offensive."

With these words, the Shattered Void instantly changed color.

Upon hearing this, Yun Miao Dao Lord laughed: "The junior does not understand manners; I will apologize on his behalf right now. I ask you to be magnanimous and not take offense with these juniors."

"A light apology just passes like that? I truly see no sincerity in your invitation! Strictly speaking, rescuing Sun Xing was me helping you, yet this is the treatment I received. Honestly, I'm very disappointed."

Alkaid said.

Yun Miao Dao Lord furrowed his brows.

Having a Shattered Void brought along by a Dao Lord generally indicated high regard, trust, and a hopeful future as a Dao Lord.

Moreover, the two had just had a verbal disagreement...

"Then what you mean is..."

"Ultimately, you believe that you have rallied over a hundred Dao Lords, and I am but alone, coming from the depths of the stars, helpless against you, so your words seemed somewhat dismissive of me. I thought that you knew, no matter how many ragtag members you gather, if there's not enough fighting spirit, it doesn't really matter."

"A ragtag group?"

At that moment, a voice came from the side: "This Daoist seems to have issues with us."

"Alkaid? I haven't heard that name before; could it be someone secretly nurtured by the Sun and Star Sect? Only those Dao Lords who come out of the Sun and Star Sect would have such a disdainful and nauseating attitude, disregarding us Dao Lords who reached Dao integration through our own efforts, facing death nine times out of ten."

Another Divine Sense immediately followed.

The two Dao Lords, one on the left and one on the right, walked out of the other two rooms in the control center.

The latter Dao Lord even shook his head at Yun Miao Dao Lord.

Yun Miao Dao Lord listened, and even with some guesswork, could not help feeling disappointed inside.

Alkaid looked at the two men, his expression unchanged.

When he arrived, he had already perceived the two Dao Lords.

Especially the Dao Lord who appeared afterward.

Alkaid sensed the aura of the Great Path of Destruction on him.

Cultivating such a core Dao, his head-on combat ability must be incredibly strong, and with a system of top-tier Dao Artifacts by his side, he might well possess the strength of a top Dao Lord.

As for their exchange...

He confirmed that he was not the Posha Daoist.

Alkaid's face showed no change.

"I apologize for describing you as a 'ragtag group' just now,"

he said calmly.

"Oh? Then I'll give you a chance,"

the Dao Lord who cultivated the Path of Destruction said indifferently.

Alkaid listened and spoke seriously: "Clearly, you are currently in a disadvantageous position; theoretically, you should unite all possible forces to fight against the Sun and Star Sect, yet the attitude you showed me... is laughable."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but start laughing: "You are not a ragtag group; to describe you as such would almost insult the term 'ragtag group'. You... should be a group of ridiculously self-important fools."

Upon these words, Yun Miao and the two other newly emerged Dao Lords simultaneously changed color.

"Alkaid, how dare you!"

The Dao Lord cultivating the Path of Destruction bellowed, his aura surging forth powerfully.

The coercive presence emanating from him...

indeed reached a level comparable to that of a top Dao Lord.

Not just him, the aura around the other Dao Lord also began to rise, and the fluctuations of the Great Dao emanating from him were quite familiar to Alkaid.

The Great Dao of Truth!

But it was even more exquisite than that of Jun Tian Dao Lord.

At least at the level of a renowned Dao Lord.

Compared to these two, Yun Miao Dao Lord, who had first contacted Alkaid, seemed somewhat ordinary.

Just a regular Dao Lord.

"Since you've already gotten involved in our struggle with the Sun and Star Sect because of Sun Xing, you can't blame us for being aggressive! Now, you only have two choices: one, join us and participate in our upcoming action against the Sun and Star Sect, or two..."

"I choose two."

Alkaid did not let the Dao Lord cultivating the Path of Destruction finish speaking and preemptively gave his answer.

With these words, the aura of this top Destruction Dao Lord surged, and a black battle-ax instantly emerged above his head, seemingly containing the power of primordial destruction.

"I'm giving you one last chance..."

"Come, let me teach you an idiom..."

Alkaid didn't give the Destruction Dao Lord a chance to finish transmitting his message, stepped into the Void, and instantly appeared in front of him, pressing down with a Great Annihilation Technique targeted at his form.

"What is called 'sitting at the bottom of a well and watching the sky'?"
