Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

Creation Group.

After Alkaid took the chairman seat of Creation Group, although he assigned Immortal King Alpha to specifically handle the stabilization within the group, there still lingered an atmosphere of apprehension among the members.

After all, six of the nine directors disappeared abruptly, and even the chairman was replaced — the impact of such drastic changes was not so easily quelled.

If Alkaid did not implement a series of policies promptly, the development of Creation Group might face significant problems.

Especially since...

Brahma Group and Shenluo Corporation continued to relentlessly pursue Creation Group for their alleged role in the demise of Immortal Kings like Tian Yu, Dragon Elephant, Di Yi, and Wu Mu, cornering it from all sides.

However, Alkaid disregarded these changes.

He had a premonition that, due to his interference, the great war between the Ancient Immortal Realm and the Primordial Source Realm was likely to conclude soon.

At least...

For him, his battle would soon yield the best outcome.

He didn't know what roles the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor played in this grand war, nor did he understand the significance of the Lustrous Treasure Tree within him.

But he was certain that when Time Daoist Ancestor entered the Primordial Source Realm, there must have been a contingency plan in place.

Otherwise, it couldn't explain why such a venerable Daoist Ancestor chose self-destruction.

Was it really out of sheer despair facing the overwhelming power of the Nine Great Sovereigns that he had chosen self-termination?

Or was there another reason?

What others said didn't matter.

What mattered was what they did.

Firstly, ever since the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor fell, transmuting into the Gates of Destiny and Cause and Effect, the unbridled assault of the Primordial Source Realm had been halted.

Despite the rhetoric from the Nine Major Groups suggesting internecine conflict as they hurried to divide the spoils before a full victory, the attention multiple Immortal Kings accorded the Land of Destruction Path over the millennia and the consistent sending of forces there hinted at something significant.

Moreover, the evident regard of Master of Primordial Yi towards this land and the fallen Daoist Ancestors there also revealed crucial information.

On one hand, they claim it's nothing to fear.

On the other, they behave as if facing a formidable enemy.

Thus, the strength of this opponent and whether they genuinely have the situation under control was quite clear.

Not only the Master of Primordial Yi but even Alkaid himself found it hard to discern the strategies of Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Daoist Ancestor.

But he surmised it had something to do with the Gates of Destiny and Cause and Effect.

Therefore, before seeking enlightenment from the Gates of Destiny and Cause and Effect, he made a specific trip to the Chaos Void, leaving behind his "Chaos" essence, which he had deduced based on "High-Dimensional Cognition" and the Great Void Path.

Oh, through interpretations of Destiny, Causality, Time, and other Great Daos, this "Chaos" essence had already evolved into a Chaos World.

It's just that this world was still nascent, needing ample time to grow.

At present...

He was lightly geared up, simply awaiting the negotiation outcome from the Reversal Immortal King.

...

"Buzz!"

At this moment, a unique energy fluctuation transmitted from outside the Cultivation Cave Mansion.

Alkaid waved his hand, the Formation activated, and the figures of Supreme Purity and Di Kong appeared simultaneously.

"Is something the matter?"

"Chairman, two distinguished guests have come to visit."

Di Kong respectfully bowed first: "One is the Fan Jing Immortal King from Brahma Group, and the other... is the Hong Meng Immortal King from Tianyuan Group."

"Let's discuss whatever matters after the meeting is over."

Alkaid spoke calmly.

"This…"

Di Kong hesitated momentarily, cautiously hinting: "Currently, the surroundings of our Creation Group are not peaceful. Although Director Alpha is doing his utmost to gather the higher-ups for stabilization, the situation is still evolving unfavorably. It's early days yet, so the consequences haven't fully manifested. If we wait for a few decades or centuries… the influence of Creation Group will inevitably begin to decline, and if things go poorly… it might even fall from the ranks of the Nine Major Groups."

"Creation Group's standing among the Nine Major Groups doesn't rely on its influence in the Immortal Realm, but on the Master of Creation. Even the Master of Creation isn't in a hurry; what are you anxious about?"

Alkaid's eyes showed no sign of disturbance.

He knew that Master of Primordial Yi's choosing "ten years" to convene a meeting was partly because the Lower Realm affairs indeed needed sorting, and partly to give him "time to think"—which in essence put pressure on him.

The ultimate goal of the Master of Primordial Yi was for him to hand over the inheritance of his Time Path and Void Path entirely, ideally under His guidance, to achieve breakthroughs with the Gates of Destiny and Cause and Effect.

Of course, if he agreed, all his problems could be resolved smoothly— even if the alleged encirclement and kill of Tian Yu Immortal King by Creation Group were verified, the Master of Primordial Yi would clear his name by pinning the blame on the Ancient Immortal Alliance, claiming he was influenced by the Gate of Myriad Wonders.

But, the corresponding price...

He would probably never be able to elevate his authority level to Twenty.

This scenario would please the Master of Primordial Yi and the Nine Great Sovereigns alike.

None of them wished for a tenth Sovereign to emerge and share their 'authority' pie.

This was also why, at this time, the Master of Creation had yet to step up and support Creation Group publicly but was instead observing from behind the scenes.

Everyone was pressuring him to make a choice.

At this moment, Alkaid's gaze fell upon Di Kong: "I see, you seem to have some other ideas?"

Di Kong's heart skipped, he quickly stated: "Chairman, my loyalty to you is evident both to heaven and earth. Even during those toughest three thousand years, I've consistently followed your commands without any lapse."

"Is that so."

Alkaid remained noncommittal.

"Absolutely true."

Di Kong earnestly stated: "I will spare no effort in executing any order from the chairman. The reason I dare to disturb you this time is mainly because both Fan Jing Immortal King and Hong Meng Immortal King have left their Dao legacies in the Land of Destruction Path. Among them, it seems that you have had contact with the Dao legacy left by Hong Meng Immortal King, so I have come to report to you..."

"Hong Meng Immortal King."

Alkaid muttered these words.

This Immortal King was the very founder of Heavenly Dao Sect, Hong Meng Dao Venerable.

Of course, he did not leave a true Dao legacy like Huan Yin Dao Venerate or Eternal Life Venerable.

At most, when he needed someone to handle trivial matters around him, thinking that they did a fine job, he would offer a few pointers and leave behind something small.

Those who received their pointers, united under the name of Hong Meng Dao Venerable, founded the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Probably even Hong Meng Dao Venerable himself did not know that there was such a legacy in the Lower Realm.

However, at present, with tremendous benefits from the inheritances of Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor upon him, clearly, Hong Meng Immortal King has approached him through this connection of Heavenly Dao Sect.

"Tianyuan Group."

Alkaid pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There's no need to see them. Use my critical period of cultivation as a reason and let them go."

Seeing that Alkaid really intended to "go it alone" by not choosing to cooperate or reconcile with other groups, Di Kong couldn't help but give a wry smile.

But with Alkaid's earlier warning, he dared not show any dissatisfaction and quickly responded: "I will convey this to Hong Meng Immortal King and Fan Jing Immortal King."

"Hmm."

Alkaid acknowledged, and after Di Kong had left, turned his gaze to Taiching: "What about you? What do you have?"

"This..."

Taiching, who had been cultivated to the realm of a True Immortal, seeing that Alkaid would not even meet the founder of their Heavenly Dao Sect, Hong Meng Dao Venerable, hesitated somewhat, but still said: "Someone also asked me to pass a message, hoping to meet you."

"Who?"

"Shen Yu Immortal King from Xi Yu Group, and... Penglai Immortal Venerable."

Taiching Immortal stated.

"Shen Yu Immortal King."

Alkaid was not familiar with this Immortal King and saw no need to meet him.

But Penglai Immortal Venerable...

Was this an appeal to sentiment?

Alkaid fell into contemplation.

At this moment, he didn't want to involve too many other elements in his relationship with Penglai Dao Lord...

Oh, now already advanced to Immortal Venerable.

A Seventeen Level Immortal Spirit indeed corresponded to Immortal Venerable.

But whether Dao Lord or Immortal Venerable, he did not want to entangle their friendship with too much else.

Yet in the world, full of affection, when people interact, the common social interactions were hard to avoid.

Thinking of this, he sighed inwardly but still said: "Please have them come to Cloud View Platform."

"Yes."

Taiching quickly responded.

His mood was much lighter when he left.

Alkaid refused to meet Fan Jing Immortal King and Hong Meng Immortal King, but was willing to meet Shen Yu Immortal King brought by Penglai Immortal Venerable, showing that he still cherished the old connections of people from Northern Sea Star.

Old affections persisted.

As long as he could maintain this relationship faithfully, his modest position as a True Immortal within the Creation Group could continue to advance.

Though not daring to hope for becoming an Immortal King, achieving Immortal Venerable was still very much possible.

Alkaid did not keep Shen Yu Immortal King and Penglai Immortal Venerable waiting long.

After making some minor adjustments to his state, he stepped into the Void and arrived at the Cloud View Platform.

Cloud View Platform, as its name suggests, was the highest peak of a mountain on the Floating Islands.

The Floating Islands were located directly above Creation Celestial City, and Cloud View Platform was at the peak of this mountain range; overlooking a vast sea of clouds, endless in scope.

Through the clouds, it was as if viewing the earth from outer space, with the vast span of Creation Celestial City entirely visible.

Upon reaching Cloud View Platform, Alkaid glanced at Penglai Immortal Venerable.

Compared to when in the Lower Realm Starry Sky, her demeanor seemed to have undergone some changes.

If previously she was like a gifted woman, aloof from all, with a touch of nonchalance, now, she undoubtedly resembled a decisive businesswoman, filled with sophistication and excellence.

Not until Alkaid's arrival and observation of Penglai Immortal Venerable for a moment, did Shen Yu Immortal King belatedly realize.

He was well aware of the capabilities of the former Yu Xiao Immortal King.

Now that Alkaid had suddenly come, he had surprisingly had no prior awareness, such a profound usage of the Void...

Terrifying indeed.

The inheritance from Void Ancestor, to be powerful to this extent.

"Chairman Yu Xiao."

Shen Yu Immortal King greeted with a smile.

Alkaid slightly nodded: "Chairman Shen Yu."

Then, turning his gaze back to Penglai Immortal Venerable, he smiled: "Long time no see."

"Long time no see."

Penglai Immortal Sect also responded with a smile, and finally, like Shen Yu Immortal King, respectfully addressed him.

"Chairman Yu Xiao."
