"A Dao Venerable should indeed dominate the era,"
said the Penglai Dao Lord with a smile.
"You flatter , I rely settled so debts of gratitude and vengeance. As for the other powers, I do not have the ti to uproot each of them,"
Alkaid replied.
The Penglai Dao Lord nodded, "Looking back, there have been no small number of Dao Venerables who have dominated an era. The reason they haven't unified the Northern Sea Star is probably similar to your thoughts. However, so of the leaders of these forces have enough capability themselves. If they can rise to the occasion and leverage the reputation of a Dao Venerable, they might be able to rule a gate to the Immortal Realm. Then, by cultivating a succession of Dao Lords through the gate, they could beco the embryonic form of a dominant power."
Alkaid associated this with the Sun and Star Sect.
This power did exactly that.
Like now, if soone in the Nine Cauldrons Sect could beco a Dao Lord, they could also rally dozens of Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths, the Four Great Immortal Dynasties, and the Three Immortal Martial Sects behind his na.
As long as they could gain the support of these Dao Lords, the scale they held would not be far inferior to the Sun and Star Sect.
Moreover, the Void Dao Lords and foreign Dao Lords, fearing his reputation as a Dao Venerable, would definitely not dare to oppose the formidable Immortal Path Alliance that was forming. They might even actively retreat, distancing themselves from the Northern Sea Star with an 'out of sight, out of mind' attitude.
In this way, over ti, people would naturally regard the Nine Cauldrons Sect-led Immortal Path Alliance as the ruler of the Northern Sea Star.
Before his departure, he would also set up so Immortal Arrays for the Nine Cauldrons Sect, and even leave behind Immortal Artifacts.
With these top-tier treasures and the abundant resources of the Northern Sea Star, the Nine Cauldrons Sect would only need to cultivate three to five direct-line Dao Lords, and their control over the Northern Sea Star would be nearly absolute.
These thoughts flashed through Alkaid's mind.
However, he currently had no intention of putting these ideas into action.
He would lay a solid foundation for the Nine Cauldrons Sect and even give them the Fuyao Realm as their new base.
In the future, if soone capable in the Nine Cauldrons Sect backed by the Fuyao Realm could unify the Northern Sea Star again, he would not stop or interfere excessively.
But if they lacked the ability and chose to remain in their own territory, Alkaid would not force growth.
At this point, he had nearly done all he should for the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
"The Penglai Immortal Sect can now boldly enter the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals and bring the entire territory of the Demon Immortal Veins under its control,"
Alkaid remarked.
"Forget it,"
the Penglai Dao Lord, however, shook his head: "Actually, upon careful reflection over the years, I've realized that doing too much for the Penglai Immortal Sect is pointless if they themselves don't have the strength to defend these foundations. In the worst-case scenario, occupying too vast a territory and too many resource-rich lands might beco a curse rather than a blessing."
Alkaid was sowhat surprised, "Why the sudden change of heart?"
"Actually, for people like us, it's odd to invest too much energy in these sects."
The Penglai Dao Lord gave him a look, "Besides, even a latecor like you has beco a Dao Venerable. I've been practicing a thousand years longer than you and am still lingering at the Dao Lord stage. If I don't concentrate on cultivating now, won't you leave even further behind?"
"Becoming a Dao Lord doesn't necessarily an transcending the mundane world,"
Alkaid said, adding, "Of course, it could also be related to the fact that we are too young and have not yet changed our way of thinking."
He took out a Jade Talisman, "If you don't want these territories, shall I have the Nine Cauldrons Sect and the forces of the Ten Great Immortal Paths co and take them over?"
The Penglai Dao Lord laughed upon hearing his words.
"As you wish."
"What's the matter?"
Alkaid felt puzzled.
"Although the Lord of 'Yuan Xi' has a clear prohibition, we are of the sa kind, so there's no need to keep the ssage that guarded."
said the Penglai Dao Lord, pausing for a mont: "However, you arrived later than I did, and since you have an interest, go ahead. Whether it's the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals or the Divine Domain World, gather your forces and take over these territories first. Under the formidable reputation of you as a Dao Venerable, no force would dare to foolishly stand in your way."
"The Lord of Yuan Xi?"
Alkaid's mind stirred, quickly realizing sothing, "The Xi Yu Group?"
Xi Yu.
It was one of the nine major conglorates in the Immortal Realm.
The many Immortal Techniques and scriptures he was currently practicing were mostly from these nine major conglorates.
"Mm-hm."
The Penglai Dao Lord spoke and looked at Alkaid, "Judging from your growth trajectory, do you co from the Creation Group?"
"You really are well-inford about the Immortal Realm,"
Alkaid looked at her, "So... you didn't coincidentally inherit from a great power, but are... the reincarnation of an Immortal King? The Penglai Immortal King?"
"Reincarnation of an Immortal King?"
The Penglai Dao Lord seed surprised, "You've reached the step of Immortal King in the Immortal Realm? What na do you go by there? Every Immortal King is renowned and shakes the world, being a being with the potential to break through the Gates of Causality and Destiny. Speak up, I might have heard of your legend."
The Dao Lord looked at him with a hint of envy, "I forgot, if not for being the reincarnation of an Immortal King, how could you have reattained the status of Dao Venerable so quickly."
"You're not?"
Alkaid sensed sothing amiss.
"No."
The Penglai Dao Lord shook her head slightly, "I am considered a newcor who has just entered the 'Ancient Immortal Realm.' Although I had the complete training system provided by the Xi Yu Group and applied for the group's assigned quota to beco a Dao Lord, I have only just obtained the qualification. I have not officially entered the Immortal Realm to compete for the pinnacle of glory!"
As the Penglai Dao Lord spoke, it was as if a tsunami had upturned the seas in Alkaid's mind.
Ancient Immortal Realm!?
A complete training system provided by the group?
Applying for a group's quota?
The pinnacle of glory!?
Even though Alkaid had long known that the real "Immortal Realm" might differ from his understanding of it, when these terms were combined, they still ford a concept far beyond his imagination.
Once this concept was truly presented, it could completely overturn all his cognition.
"Immortal King, eh."
The Penglai Dao Lord looked at Alkaid with so surprise, "Does that an I should address you with the honorific 'Your Highness' from now on? Having ascended to Immortal King, you're qualified to enter the board of directors at the Creation Corporation, right?"
She greeted him with a smile, "Director Alkaid?"
Alkaid suppressed the tumultuous thoughts in his heart, forcing his emotions to remain normal, "What do you plan to do next?"
"I entered the Ancient Immortal Realm with the rating of a 'Seventeenth Level Undying Spirit.' Next, I'm just waiting for my ascension to the Immortal Realm..."
As the Penglai Dao Lord said this, her gaze inadvertently swept around, "Even though this world and the people of this world all feel so real and within reach, I also have my own duties to fulfill... After ascending to the Immortal Realm, according to the contract I signed with the Xi Yu Group, they will recruit into the group and then quickly help beco an Immortal. After completing a period of 'internship' and further ascending to Immortal Venerable, I'm to assu the position of vice president of the Origin Path."
After speaking, she extended her hand, "The Xi Yu Group and Creation Corporation are partners, so we should have many opportunities to cooperate in the future."
Alkaid looked at the Penglai Dao Lord's outstretched "friendly" right hand, his thoughts swirling and difficult to settle.
But still, he reached out and shook it, "There will be a chance."
The Penglai Dao Lord sized up Alkaid, seeming to sense sothing, "Are you disappointed?"
Then she glanced towards the horizon, where the aura of various Dao Lords from the Ten Great Immortal Paths were swiftly approaching, as if realizing sothing, she said with a hint of apology, "Did I... interrupt you?"
"No, it's just that, my situation is a bit complicated, and I don't know how to express it at the mont,"
said Alkaid.
"A complicated situation?"
The Penglai Dao Lord was puzzled, but then seed to think of sothing, "The Creation Corporation... Wait! Three thousand years ago, the Creation Corporation's Jade Talisman Immortal King fell in a local cultivator attack guided by causality... It has always been said that the fall of the Jade Talisman Immortal King was too hasty, too casual for an Immortal King... Many even petitioned the great Yuan Xi himself, demanding a thorough investigation into the matter, but it ended inconclusively..."
She looked at Alkaid, "Are you the Jade Talisman Immortal King!?"
Alkaid was utterly unable to comprehend what the Penglai Dao Lord was saying.
But that did not stop him from going with the flow.
He neither confird nor denied, simply asking, "What is the current situation with the Creation Corporation?"
The Penglai Dao Lord looked at Alkaid, hesitating.
After a while, she spoke, "I'm sorry, but I have been in the Ancient Immortal Realm for less than two thousand years and have not entered the Immortal Realm to reach the true higher-ups of the Creation Corporation. Therefore, I'm not particularly inford about the fall of the Jade Talisman Immortal King within the corporation. We also only know a bit about the current state of the corporation through so news channels, but that was nearly two thousand years ago. The lower realm of the Ancient Immortal Realm is separated from our 'Chaotic Origin Realm' by another layer, so ssages can hardly get through. Perhaps, only after reaching the core of the Ancient Immortal Realm — the Immortal Realm, can we know the current state of the Creation Corporation."
Clearly, she was reluctant to get too involved in the internal affairs of the Creation Corporation.
Especially when such matters involved struggles at the Immortal King level.
In essence, her words were a polite refusal.
Even so, Alkaid still obtained imnsely significant information.
Ancient Immortal Realm.
Chaotic Origin Realm.
He couldn't help but associate this with the world where his "high-dinsional cognition" was located.
So...
Is the place he truly cos from known as the Chaotic Origin Realm?
Is the Milky Way part of a certain starry expanse within the Chaotic Origin Realm?
Thinking this, Alkaid took a deep breath.
He couldn't quite decide whether receiving this news was good or bad.
Seeing Alkaid silent, the Penglai Dao Lord pondered for a mont, then said, "Dao friend Alkaid... If the Creation Corporation indeed engaged in unlawful practices concerning your case, you should ascend to the Immortal Realm as soon as possible, get in touch with the great Yuan Xi, and explain the situation."
She spoke earnestly, "Every immortal being at the 'Immortal King' level is the greatest treasure of our Chaotic Origin Realm. They have accumulated a wealth of experience along this path, and we cannot tolerate any loss. If the Creation Corporation acted in such a way, to put it lightly, it's an internal power struggle, but to put it gravely, it's disregarding the bigger picture. Dragging their feet in the war between our Chaotic Origin Realm and the Ancient Immortal Realm will bring about severe punishnt!"
