Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Days passed, and more and more Major Sects of the Five Domains arrived, almost all converging.

No Sect would dare to be late at this time, how could they make so many Great Powers wait for them?

Ordinary Great Powers might have been an exception, but the convocation of this grand assembly was by none other than Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan, Ghost Ancestor, among a few top-level existences. Although even if they truly did not attend, it might not matter much, but during the later expeditions into the Void, what would be left for them would undoubtedly be the hardest bones to chew.

In a palace temporarily occupied by the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, Ancestor Jue Tian and Gui Ling Ancestor had already departed for the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Lingxiao Palace to participate in the grand assembly.

Today was merely a meeting for the Ancestors, and discussions about the expedition would not commence immediately.

Because the Cosmic Void was vast beyond measure, with countless worlds of the All Heavens, each faction desired to attack worlds that were relatively weaker yet abundant in resources, rather than tackling tough challenges. Hence, it would be a prolonged process of deliberation, with no need to rush.

Now, the first matter the Ancestors needed to discuss involved the trials of each Sect's disciples and the selection of the Chosen Son, a relatively simpler and more agreeable topic.

High up in the Void of the Nine Heavens, sitting in the four cardinal directions, were the four top-level Great Powers with the highest Dao Cultivation from Biluo Great World: Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan from the East Domain Taixuan Daoist School, Mituom Buddha Ancestor from the Western Regions Great Leiyin Temple, Ancestor Zhan Tian from the Southern Domain War God Palace, and Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang from the Northern Domain Ten Directions Ghost City.

Surrounding these four Ancestors were Great Powers from various Sects of the Five Domains.

Though the site of the Alliance was chosen to be the Heavenly Pillar Mountain Lingxiao Palace, these Ancestors did not convene inside the Lingxiao Palace for discussions.

After all, Lingxiao Palace was the territory of descendants from the Spring and Autumn Ancestor's bloodline, and the Ancestors did not wish to overshadow their hosts. If too many Great Powers converged on Lingxiao Palace at once, it would place enormous pressure on the Meng Family, potentially causing disruptions if someone inadvertently unleashed their aura during deliberations, possibly affecting the ordinary clanspeople nearby.

Thus, the Ancestors settled directly in the clouds beyond the Nine Heavens to discuss various matters.

The area was utterly vast; unless there was a battle among them, ordinary Cultivators below would definitely not be affected.

These Ancestors each had distinct appearances and extraordinary auras, some restrained seeming almost like ordinary people unfamiliar with Cultivation, while others were intensely vigorous and boundlessly formidable.

The surrounding thousand li originally had harsh Gang Winds, all suppressed by the strong aura of certain Ancestors, leaving no trace of chill.

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan sat cross-legged on a white cloud, his appearance aged, yet his eyes as clear as spring water.

He looked around and spoke, "All Daoist Fellows from various Sects have arrived, let's first discuss the matter of the disciples' trials."

This Ancestor was the highest in Dao Cultivation and the oldest among the Great Powers in the Creation Realm, so his words carried great weight. If he had not intentionally suppressed it, he might have long been revered as Daoist Ancestor by countless Cultivators of Daoism.

There was once a period when it was popular to address him so, but it was vetoed by him, and eventually, no one dared to address him this way anymore.

Apart from Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan, the Mituom Buddha Ancestor from the Western Regions Great Leiyin Temple was also highly revered.

Mituom did not mind others calling him Buddha Ancestor.

In Buddhism, there is not just one Buddha Ancestor.

Any Great Power of Buddhism who had achieved Creation could be called Buddha Ancestor, revered as Buddha!

Both Mituom Buddha Ancestor and Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan were venerable Great Powers in the Creation Realm, protecting the Human Clan for countless years.

As for Ancestor Zhan Tian and Ghost Ancestor, they were Great Powers that emerged during the Ancient Great Tribulation, each powerful in Dao Cultivation and War Power but far less seasoned compared to the two older Ancestors, Taixuan and Mituom.

"Grandmaster Senior Taixuan, is there perhaps any special arrangement for this trial?"

The speaker was Gongsun Cuo, Mountain Master of the Spring and Autumn Academy, disciple of the Spring and Autumn Ancestor, who had been in charge of the Academy for numerous years.

In the past, the Spring and Autumn Ancestor merged with Heavenly Union, causing resentment among powerful entities of All Realms who believed he had cut off their rear path. They resolved to utterly annihilate the Spring and Autumn Academy, severing the foundation of the Spring and Autumn Ancestor by launching countless attacks against the Academy at the end of the Great Tribulation.

At last, under the leadership of Gongsun Cuo, they endured numerous attacks and counter-killed countless formidable enemies, not only preventing the Academy from declining but also making it much stronger.

"Indeed!"

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan slightly nodded, "Previously, I had discussed with Mituom Buddha and planned to change the method of trials by utilizing disciples from various Sects to scheme against several High Rank Worlds!"

"Oh?"

The Great Powers from various Sects were immediately intrigued upon hearing this.

The Void World is numerous, mostly composed of ordinary Middle Rank and Low Rank Worlds, with High Rank Worlds being relatively rare.

In fact, the strength of High Rank Worlds is not necessarily much weaker than that of Great Worlds, and these worlds could even host Great Powers in the Creation Realm; some formidable High Rank Worlds have been warring for many years, accumulating a very thick world heritage, only lacking the qualifications to advance to a Great World.

Thus, each High Rank World is not easy to handle; even for the Biluo Great World, trying to conquer a High Rank World is not simple, and a slight carelessness could even lead to a failed expedition.

After all, Biluo cannot deploy all its Cultivators in one world, while as the defending side, a High Rank World could mobilize all its forces for a counterattack.

If the Five Domains were to be split, it would essentially amount to five rather formidable High Rank Worlds, so one must be extremely cautious and careful when attempting to conquer High Rank Worlds.

Of course, not all High Rank Worlds might feature Great Powers in the Creation Realm; if a High Rank lacks such powerful inhabitants, its overall strength would be a notch below any of the Five Domains!

However, regardless of the level, each High Rank World is a location rich in resources; once conquered, it would greatly benefit the Biluo Great World, potentially recovering one to two percent of the heritage lost during the Ancient Great Tribulation.

Of course, this refers to the situation where the entire High Rank World has been depleted, and it still requires many years of continuous collection of all resources.

Consequently, a Great Power soon asked, "May I ask the Ancestor, what is the strength of those High Rank Worlds? Are the resources rich?"

"The resources are naturally abundant, and their strength is also very formidable."

Grandmaster Ancestor Taixuan pondered for a moment and judiciously declared, "It's just that these worlds have too many mysteries, which even I can barely comprehend, hence the idea to let younger disciples from various Sects explore them.

Their Cultivation is not high; as long as we act cleverly to avoid the detection of those powerful beings and send them into those worlds, their Cultivation won't attract the targeting and suppression of the World Will, ideal for exploring the details of those worlds.

Moreover, even if we have a clear understanding, we may not immediately go to war. Some are too far away and will have to wait; others might later be potential allies. If we could form alliances, it would indeed provide additional support to collectively face several Great Worlds in this star domain."

"This seat has also split Divine Thought to investigate a High Rank World, and there certainly exist many incomprehensible phenomena."

The speaker was Mituom Buddha.

This Buddha, large in frame and with a face full of compassion, would hardly be believed to be the ancient extraordinarily powerful being who subdued countless Heavenly Demons unless one knew his renown for a long time.

"This seat somewhat suspects that the world I investigated originally was a Great World, but for some reason, it was downgraded!"

"A Great World?"

Many Great Powers showed interest, looking towards the Buddha.

"Indeed."

Mituom Buddha gently nodded, then slightly shook his head with some confusion, "The most curious part lies here; if it was a Great World ruined by war, it wouldn't still be so intact. But when this seat split Divine Thought, using the Dream Entry Technique to conceal within the bodies of the lifeforms in that world, after a long investigation, I still could not clear up the specific details.

It is for this reason that I discussed changing the trial method with Daoist Fellow Taixuan, sending disciples into those High Rank Worlds to explore the details, and also based on the intelligence and merits from their explorations, select the most meritorious disciples to become the Chosen Son."
