Chapter 606: Chapter 556: I Will Take Action Next
Dragon Tiger Mountain, one of the Ancestral Lands of the Taoist School.
The Dragon Tiger Mountain that has been standing for millions of years is still thriving. Even after the revival of Heaven and Earth, countless forces have risen, yet no one can overshadow the brilliance of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The powerhouses returning from the Sky Wasteland, in spite of their own rivalries, dare not entertain any thoughts against Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Perhaps in the eyes of many powerhouses, the former Celestial Master who governed Dragon Tiger Mountain is not particularly extraordinary. Even though he holds the Zhengyi Seal, it is not certain if he can withstand some powerhouses at the Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm in such a short time.
But don’t forget that another Dragon Tiger Mountain still exists in the Sky Wasteland, presided over by the Ancestor Celestial Master, a most formidable figure at the Nine Realms of Spirit.
In the Sky Wasteland, the reputation of Dragon Tiger Mountain is universally known. Judging by reputation alone, the Ancestor Celestial Master can be considered the most famous powerhouse at the Nine Realms of Spirit in the Sky Wasteland.
Therefore, the other factions did not make any unusual moves towards this powerhouse’s inheritance in the Ancestral Land, even those forces bearing a grudge against Dragon Tiger Mountain did not make a move at this time.
Atop Dragon Tiger Mountain, the old Celestial Master was sitting on a meditation cushion, practicing his skills with his eyes closed. He bore a semblance of immortal nobility as the mystical Qi surrounded him.
After a long time, the old Celestial Master opened his eyes, gradually quieted his inner skill, dissipated the Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, and having a glimpse of understanding in his eyes, he collected the Zhengyi Seal into his bosom and rose up, making his way outside.
For someone else, thirty years is a long time where many things can happen. However, for the old Celestial Master, not many things were of concern to him. Perhaps this is one of the benefits of having influential backing!
Ever since he received the Zhengyi Seal, the old Celestial Master obtained the full inheritance of the Ancestor Celestial Master. He diligently cultivated over these thirty years, gaining some progress.
From the initial Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm when he acquired the Zhengyi Seal, the old Celestial Master had now reached the Spirit Realm’s Sixth Level, only a step away from forming the foundation of the Great Tao and entering the realm of the Spirit Realm’s Seventh Level.
Moreover, had he not been preoccupied studying the rightful teachings of the Ancestor Celestial Master to compensate for his own deficiencies in foundation, believing that his strength was still not solid enough, he could have already begun forming the foundation of the Great Tao.
If word of such dreadful progress were to spread, it would indeed astonish many, making them astonished at his cultivation talent.
You should know that even in the Sky Wasteland, cultivators who could progress from the Fourth Level to almost breaking through to the Sixth Level within thirty years are very rare, even with the support of an inheritance from a powerful cultivator at the Nine Realms of Spirit.
If Pei Xuanjing were to witness this spectacle, he would also be remarkably surprised. He knows that this old Celestial Master doesn’t have a cheat like a simulator, and to be able to cultivate at such a rate is truly horrifying.
Of course, if Pei Xuanjing knew that not only the old Celestial Master, but several other old acquaintances of his also had similar gains, he would undoubtedly be greatly amazed.
At the base of the Unorthodox Alliance, the leader Zhao Baiyang stood on a tower, listening to his disciple narrating the recent changes in the world’s circumstances.
“The situation within the realm of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is still fairly stable at present. With the Jade Purity True Monarch dominating the world, even if the forces from the Sky Wasteland have returned, they are restrained by his majesty and dare not act rashly.” Yu Yiyao commented on the current state of affairs, a bitter expression on her face. “However, the situation outside the territory of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty is far more chaotic. Various forces are constantly entangled, and the people dispatched by our forces can only occupy a small part of it, constantly targeted by many other forces.”
Yu Yiyao could hardly hide the look of displeasure that lingered between her brows, and she had no desire to cover up her frustration in front of her master.
You must know that Zhao Baiyang usually, like Pei Xuanjing, is hands-off in managing the Unorthodox Alliance. He only provides strategic planning, while the actual operations and matters of the alliance are entirely left to Yu Yiyao.
If it were in the past, the power of the Unorthodox Alliance within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty would be considered a top-tier alliance. Even if they encountered obstacles, it wouldn’t be something insurmountable for Yu Yiyao.
However, the current situation is completely different. With the continuous descent of forces from the Sky Wasteland, the advantage of the Unorthodox Alliance no longer exists, especially in terms of the number of powerhouses—they simply can’t compare with the opposing forces.
Inside the territory of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, it is still acceptable as they have the deterrence of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and the reputation of Pei Xuanjing. Those forces wouldn’t dare to provoke them for now. But in other places, it’s a completely different story.
With the revival of Heaven and Earth, the territory of the world is expanding more and more with countless unowned lands appearing, waiting for various forces to compete for and occupy. As part of the top powers of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, the Unorthodox Alliance naturally wouldn’t want to miss out.
However, in these places where the influences of the Great Ming Divine Dynasty and Pei Xuanjing are no longer present, they have become a naked struggle for survival of the fittest, just like the Sky Wasteland. Everything boils down to one’s own power. Without power, one naturally cannot obtain any benefits.
With Zhao Baiyang in seclusion, the remaining most powerful force of the Unorthodox Alliance is the Vajra Sect Leader who has broken through to the Fourth Level of the Spiritual Realm. Even though he is a Body Refining cultivator and can compete with those at the Fifth Level of the Spiritual Realm, he has no way of gaining benefits from the factions that have returned from the Sky Wasteland with powerhouses at the Sixth or even Seventh Level of the Spiritual Realm.
Moreover, these forces seem to be quite discontent with the Unorthodox Alliance, which holds substantial benefits within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty. They intentionally or unintentionally join forces to target them. Even after all these years, the benefits that the Unorthodox Alliance has gained in those places are limited.
“You have worked hard all these years.” Zhao Baiyang looked at his disciple and smiled, expressing his feelings.
He knows his disciple very well. Although a woman, she possesses great generalship, and otherwise, she wouldn’t be so dedicated to handling the affairs of the Unorthodox Alliance for him.
But now, even his usually valiant disciple seems a little frustrated, which indicates that the situation of the Unorthodox Alliance is not very good.
He looked up to the sky and said, “I will handle the matters from now on. I will give you a result and let them know that we, the Unorthodox Alliance, are not the type to swallow our pride.”
“Master, you…?” A flash of surprise flickered in Yu Yiyao’s eyes.
She pondered in her heart, wondering whether her Master had made a great breakthrough during his retreat, otherwise where would his confidence come from.
You must be clear, her Master is always calm in his actions and never rashly promises anything.
