Watching Alkaid busily engaged within the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, the expressions of Wu Changfeng, Qi Sha, Ling Ruogu, and Chi Yu all took on a strange cast.
But deep within their eyes, there was an unmistakable terror that they couldn't conceal.
Wan Liugui, as the master of Li Hanqiu, couldn't help but look towards him, "You're not going to tell that Sect Leader Alkaid knows formations, are you?"
"Formations..."
Li Hanqiu thought of the nurous formations that Alkaid had sequentially improved in the Cangwu Great World era, and this...
It was very likely indeed.
"Now that you ntion it, I recall Sect Leader Alkaid must indeed know formations!"
At this ti, Wu Changfeng suddenly spoke up.
He stared at the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation in the sky, "I once discussed with Sect Leader Alkaid the flaws in the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation and reminded the Sect Leader that there could be traitors colluding from the inside and outside, causing difficulties in activating the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation. So, when the Eight Desolates and Dark Demon Lords led an assault, and the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation was not activated imdiately, I thought the Sect Leader hadn't believed ... But as the formation was swiftly activated later on, I realized, the Sect Leader had not only heeded my advice but had also started to improve the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation!"
"Improve!?"
Ling Ruogu, Chi Yu, and Qi Sha exclaid in shock, "Improved the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation!?"
"Yes! It's the improvent of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation! I rember the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation forrly in the hands of Sect Leader Song Youque did not possess such power!"
Wu Changfeng's eyes bead with unrestrained admiration, "To be able to improve the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation... Sect Leader Alkaid's mastery in formations, is definitely that of a top-tier Array Grandmaster."
"Top-tier Array Grandmaster?"
Li Hanqiu knew that in this world, an Array Grandmaster referred to those who could set formations enhancing the powers of Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void level cultivators, a status much higher than that of a Cangwu Great World Array Grandmaster.
In Alkaid's words, a top-tier Array Grandmaster would be equivalent to...
"A Thirteen Level Array Master?"
Comparing it with Alkaid's achievents as a hundred-year-old Artifact Sage, invincible in the Refining Void, and slaying two great Shattered Voids with the power of formations...
This standard seed just a little ordinary.
But Wu Changfeng on the side was sowhat at a loss for words.
A top-tier Array Grandmaster, even when placed among the forces of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, was an exceedingly coveted figure, the treatnt they could enjoy definitely superior to that of any Hollow Void Elder.
After all, the formations they could establish had an enhancing effect even on the Supre Elders of the Shattered Void Realm.
Although they couldn't reach the prowess of a Thirteen Level formation, overseen by a Refining Void, capable of entrapping and slaying a Shattered Void, if a Shattered Void was to command the formation and another dared to enter it, they were bound to face a life-and-death predicant.
Yet in the eyes of these people...
The existence capable of arranging such deadly formations seed to be nothing special?
They're getting carried away.
Half a month later.
Alkaid had just finished improving the key parts of the formation, ensuring the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation's power was enough to trap and slay the three Supre Elders of the Heavenly Dao Sect outside before he temporarily ended his busyness.
"Alright, next, let's go et those Supre Elders of our Heavenly Dao Sect; we can't keep them waiting too long."
Alkaid said.
Imdiately, the group reopened the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation that had been sealed for over a month.
...
At this mont, the outer periter of the Southern Capital was extrely bustling, with Hollow Void and Refining Void realm cultivators stationed outside the Southern Capital, eagerly looking forward.
Among these cultivators, there were those from the Heavenly Dao Sect, those from surrounding sects, and even the Immortal Martial Sect and Dashang Immortal Dynasty had sent people.
Looking around, Hollow Void and Refining Void cultivators together numbered over a hundred.
As for those who hadn't reached the Hollow Void Realm, representing the surrounding forces to "support," the number of Golden Core cultivators was even greater.
Upon learning that Alkaid had survived this calamity and trapped and slain two great Shattered Void and six Refining Void demon cultivators with the power of the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, all previously watchful powers descended to the scene to express their goodwill towards the master of the Southern Region.
"Two Shattered Void and five great Refining Void! It's truly incredible that they were all devoured by this Capital Dragon Slaying Formation."
At this ti, Pan Yuan, King Zhen Yue, and Qin Zhengfa, who had each bought Dao Artifacts from Alkaid and placed orders for Dao Artifacts with him, gathered together, looking towards the huge formation shimring with splendid light, as if beholding a fierce flood beast.
"Although he relied on the might of the formation, the fact that Sect Leader Alkaid, a Refining Void, was able to achieve this is still akin to a miracle. Coupled with his successive slaying of the evil-eyed and Chi Sha, two great Refining Void demon cultivators, without relying on outside forces before, Sect Leader Alkaid's strength... can genuinely be referred to as 'Invincible in the Refining Void.'"
King Zhen Yue's eyes sparkled with brightness.
Alkaid had slain so many Shattered Void and Refining Void level experts, the number of Dao Artifacts he seized must be more than what one could count on one hand.
The Eight Desolations Demon Lord, who had achieved the Shattered Void through the Great Void Path, had nurous extraordinary Dao Artifacts about his person.
Even if Alkaid couldn't deliver a customized Dao Artifact to him within a hundred years, the Dao Artifacts from the Eight Desolations Demon Lord were enough to compensate for his loss.
In any case, he had gotten a good deal from that trade a few years ago.
"Invincible in the Refining Void! Many of the Supre Elders in the Ten Great Immortal Paths who are at the Shattered Void level have never slain a peer Shattered Void in their lives, yet Alkaid, a Refining Void, managed to do such a thing. Even though he leveraged the power of formations, such a record is still unprecedented."
Qin Zhengfa spoke, sincerely expressing, "The younger generation is to be feared."
Recollecting his first visit to the Southern Capital where he narrowly avoided offending this master of the Southern Region of the Heavenly Dao Sect due to an ignorant junior, this Patriarch from the True Dragon Immortal Dynasty couldn't help but secretly rejoice.
He made up his mind, upon his return, to directly banish that worthless child, leaving him to fend for himself, so as to avoid causing more trouble for their True Dragon Immortal Dynasty royal family.
Not far away, Li Baijie and Lu Wanshi, representing the Heavenly Dao Sect's reinforcent, were already admonishing their own Hollow Void cultivators.
"Once Sect Leader Alkaid ets with us, rember to imdiately convey to Sect Leader Alkaid that both our families intend to withdraw from designs on the Southern Region, and moreover, the Mystic Profound Spirit Fluid and Longevity Fruit industries we control will be turned over to Sect Leader Alkaid for disposal."
"Not just these two industries, but also the land deeds and shops in the Southern Capital are to be presented to Sect Leader Alkaid, as our gesture of apology. When you speak, be a bit more respectful and please earnestly request Sect Leader Alkaid to accept our small token of apology, understand?"
The two Refining Void Peak Masters instructed sternly, their expressions filled with gravity.
And Lu Qianshan and Li Guiren nodded continuously, not daring to show any dissatisfaction.
All knew that after this battle, Alkaid had thoroughly secured his footing in the Southern Region.
And with his talent...
If he continued to grow, it would be no extravagant hope for him to reach Shattered Void Realm and compete for the position of Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the future.
Many representatives of the forces present had co early to pay their respects and acknowledge a path of connection.
They...
Even if due to positions they could not switch sides imdiately, they definitely wanted to reconcile with Alkaid as quickly as possible, changing weapons of war to gifts of jade and silk.
Otherwise, by the ti Alkaid beca the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the future, it would be too late to apologize.
Not far away, Chi Yun, a Supre Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect in the Shattered Void Realm, watched this scene with a faint smile on his face.
"This will cause trouble for people like Jing Yuntian and Zong Wenxian."
He glanced in the direction of the Heavenly Dao Sect: "Thinking they can just run back to the sect and pretend nothing has happened? It's not that easy! I don't believe that this Sect Leader Alkaid is soone who would let others take advantage of him so easily."
Beside him, a middle-aged man said gravely, "But this might be good news for us. When they fight each other, it provides us the perfect opportunity to benefit. After all, we support Shen Junyan of the Northern Region."
This Refining Void Cultivator was the most outstanding descendant of the Supre Elder Chi Yun, known as True Monarch Iron Sword.
Yet, even with the backing of a Supre Elder, this so-called outstanding descendant was only at the Refining Void Realm, which was why Supre Elder Chi Yun supported Shen Junyan.
In his lineage...
Despite having access to abundant resources, there were still few who were remarkable.
"Shen Junyan..."
Chi Yun remained silent.
Reflecting on the achievents of the Vice Sect Leader whom they had supported for hundreds of years in the Northern Region, compared to Alkaid who had been in the Southern Region for less than ten years...
The two were simply not on the sa level.
With this thought, he sighed, "Find ti for Shen Junyan to visit Sect Leader Alkaid."
True Monarch Iron Sword looked up in surprise, "Ancestor!?"
"Shen Junyan can't compete with Alkaid. It's better to make our position clear early and form a good relationship."
As Chi Yun spoke, he glanced at the ceaselessly surging Capital Dragon Slaying Formation, "The future of the Heavenly Dao Sect... is likely to belong to this Sect Leader Alkaid."
True Monarch Iron Sword was stunned.
Was his ancestor suggesting...
Changing allegiance?
In the midst of such discussions, the Capital Dragon Slaying Formation dissipated once again and Alkaid stepped out from the formation.
The mont they saw Alkaid, Chi Yun, the Supre Elder, King Zhenyue, Pan Yuan, Qin Zhengfa, Palace Master Zhengyang, and others had already co forward to greet him.
"Sect Leader Alkaid, have those demon cultivators from the Yin Moon Sect been eliminated? I heard that demon cultivators have been harassing the Southern Region, and I imdiately brought people to assist. I wonder if there's still a chance to be of help?"
"The Immortal Martial Sect was too late to gather troops, so I rushed over first. But now our forces are ready, and if Sect Leader Alkaid requires it, the reinforcents from the Immortal Martial Sect will arrive imdiately."
"Seeing Sect Leader Alkaid safe and sound, I'm relieved. I knew that those demons from the Yin Moon Sect could never harm you in the slightest."
Each person from the Void Refinent Realm had an expression of concern on their face.
Their heartfelt support almost seed to overflow.
It appeared as if at his single command, everyone would heed the call and march against the Yin Moon Sect, making them pay a heavy price for invading the Southern Region.
However, Alkaid knew that these were just their polite words.
They might not mind cheering from the sidelines, but if asked to do sothing more substantial, they would certainly have all sorts of excuses to avoid moving forward.
"I appreciate your kind intentions. Although the demon cultivators have been killed by us, I'm grateful for everyone's support. I will have a feast prepared for you all very soon," said Alkaid.
As he spoke, he also didn't mind offering so benefits: "Additionally, I have obtained a batch of Dao Artifacts that needs to be sold. You can all take a look when the ti cos. If there's anything suitable, as long as the price is not too low, you may purchase them."
A batch of Dao Artifacts!
Upon hearing Alkaid, all the Cultivators in the Void Refinent and Refining Void Realm lit up with anticipation.
This auction would differ from the previous grand events in scale; with just over a hundred participants from the Void Refinent and Refining Void Realms, their financial and influential power was sowhat inferior, aning they could secure these Dao Artifacts for at least 10 to 20 percent less than last ti.
10 to 20 percent for a Dao Artifact...
That's one to two billion!
Or even three to four billion!
Such an astonishing discount.
Especially those who followed the paths of darkness and the Void, the Void Refinent and Refining Void Cultivators, were secretly delighted about their decision to co to the Southern Capital in ti.
"Sect Leader Alkaid is so generous."
"Haha, it seems that today I can feast my eyes once more and gain insight into the mysteries of each Dao Artifact."
"Thank you, Sect Leader Alkaid."
Amid the countless congratulations and thanks, the crowd escorted Alkaid, all entering the Southern Capital.
The atmosphere on the scene was extrely harmonious.
