One Sexagenary Cycle in a Flash (36)
Four Symbols Island, separated by thousands of miles, has two magnificent buildings that rose from the ground almost simultaneously.
The building on the left is a white jade Palace, its entire body pure white, engraved with intricate and profound array Array Mark. It stands a thousand feet tall, like a majestic mountain.
At the center of the building, a plaque hangs horizontally with four large golden characters, written in bold, powerful strokes, exuding unparalleled sharpness and domineering presence: "Four Symbols Alliance"!
This white jade Palace is the headquarters of the Four Symbols Alliance. Although it was built in just one year, it was able to withstand the attacks of Sage Manifestation powerhouse and array Palace because it was built with the help of so many skilled craftsmen and Formation masters.
However, this magnificent and powerful white jade Palace pales in comparison to the purple-gold palace on the right.
Although this magnificent palace is only in its initial stages of construction and is merely an outline, it already stands three thousand feet tall, soaring into the Yun Tian and clearly visible even from hundreds of miles away.
On the outer walls of the main hall, there are inscriptions of flowers, birds, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, plants, the sun, moon, stars, tigers, leopards, wolves, immortals, demons, Demon Gods, and ghosts... all kinds of inscriptions are intertwined, not only with form, but also extremely spiritual. If Low-Rank Cultivators study these inscriptions for a long time, they may even be able to comprehend the corresponding Law Technique or Cultivation Method.
The reason this miraculous phenomenon could occur is that the beings who built this purple-gold palace included not only Human Race, but also Demon Race, Spirit Tribe, Blood Race, Ghost Tribe, Water Tribe, Flood Dragon Clan, Thunderbird Clan, and many other races of all sizes in the Lu Wu Realm.
Just three months after the Four Symbols Alliance Conference concluded, the higher-ups of the Lu Wu Realm finally decided on the time and location for the "Lu Wu Realm Lu Wu Realm Alliance Conference," which would be held in the heart of the Chaotic Sea, in the area ruled by Four Symbols Island and Spiritvoid Pavilion.
Just as the Four Symbols Alliance Conference holds great symbolic significance, the location of the Lu Wu Realm Alliance Conference signifies that this place will one day become the headquarters where various forces converge.
The Alliance Headquarters, the core of power in the Lu Wu Realm!
For this reason, the higher-ups of the Lu Wu Realm decided long ago to convene Alliance Conference, but the various forces were still debating where to hold it.
The Three Great Sacred Lands of the Northern River Region felt that the meeting should be held at the Seven Stars Sacred Land.
The Four Great Empires of the Myriad Nations Region believed that the meeting should be held at the border area Four Nations.
The Four Great Foreign Races of the Savage Wilderness Great Domain believe that the meeting should be held in the Savage Wilderness Great Domain.
The various factions in the Southern Sea tend to favor holding Alliance Conference in the Southern Sea.
Everyone knows that the location of the Alliance Conference will determine the future location of the Alliance headquarters, and the location of the Alliance Headquarters will undoubtedly be the safest area in the Lu Wu Realm, without exception.
After all, a large number of Sage Manifestation powerhouse and formidable legions will gather here to protect the core of this Lu Wu Realm.
In other words, it's a disguised way of using the power of other forces to help defend one's territory. Who wouldn't want to fight for such a good opportunity?
However, with various forces intertwined, no single party can suppress the others.
Human Race won't do, Demon Race won't do, Flood Dragon Clan will definitely fail!!
Unable to reach an agreement, and seeing that the Four Symbols Alliance had already been established swiftly, many bigwigs were getting restless.
The minor Alliance have already been formed; if our major Alliance continues to drag on like this, isn't it too embarrassing?
Therefore, a compromise was proposed: to establish Alliance Headquarters and convene Alliance Conference in a neutral power or region, so as to coordinate the interests of all parties.
And this neutral force, this neutral region, is actually only one in the entire Lu Wu Realm — Four Symbols Island, Spiritvoid Pavilion.
First is Four Symbols Island. As the central area of the Chaotic Sea, it is a melting pot of all kinds of people. Any race can come here to trade and train, as long as they do not violate the island's order.
Spiritvoid Pavilion, on the other hand, does not belong to any particular race.
This is a simple Chamber of Commerce with members of all races. It never participates in clashes between forces and has maintained neutrality since its inception, with no irreconcilable grudges against any major power.
Given this situation, where else could the Alliance Headquarters be chosen if not Spiritvoid Pavilion?
Having made the decision, the leaders from all sides no longer hesitated and quickly dispatched their skilled craftsmen, Formation Masters, Barrier Masters, Feng Shui Masters, and even Heavenly Mechanist to jointly build this Alliance Headquarters.
According to the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, after the establishment of the Lu Wu Realm Alliance headquarters, it can not only easily resist the full-force attacks of Sage Manifestation Great Perfection expert, but also isolate itself from heavenly secrets and Karma. When discussing matters in the Purple Gold Hall, it is almost impossible for anyone to use special Secret Methods to Detection or deduce it. Its secrecy is the best in the Lu Wu Realm.
The Eight Desolations Saber Saint was naturally extremely excited that the Alliance Headquarters would eventually be located on the Four Symbols Island, as were the members of the Four Symbols Alliance, because this would give their forces an extra layer of protection.
However, due to the enormous interests involved, the Eight Desolations Arena has been forced to cede a large amount of its interests, or rather, its territory, over the years.
Originally, half of the territory of Four Symbols Island was occupied by the Eight Desolations Arena, but now, only 30% of that territory remains.
The remaining 70% was occupied by various forces, including the Demon Race, the Flood Dragon Clan, the Ghost Tribe, and the Witch Tribe.
Don't think that 30% is a small amount. If the Four Symbols Alliance hadn't been established and possessed power comparable to Sacred Land, let alone 30%, we would be grateful if even 10% could be left.
In fact, after dividing up the territory of the Eight Desolations Arena, the bigwigs of each faction regretted it. They should have acted before the Four Symbols Alliance was established. Now, they have lost 20% of their territory for nothing.
Although, since the establishment of the Purple Gold Palace, the Four Symbols Island has been continuously expanded by various forces using Divine Ability or Law Technique to fill in the land.
However, the central area of Four Symbols Island will not grow as the Island expands, because there is Sixth Tier Spirit Vein here. Without the Spiritual Qi of the Spirit Vein, it cannot be called the central area.
At the same time, with the establishment of the Alliance Headquarters location, the Chaotic Sea once again attracted the attention of the entire Lu Wu Realm.
The fact that the Alliance Headquarters is located in the Chaotic Sea means that the defense capabilities of this area will rapidly increase to become the strongest in the entire Lu Wu Realm.
To put it more simply, land prices in the Chaotic Sea have increased.
The influx of a large number of powerful individuals exacerbated the chaos in the Chaotic Sea.
Of course, under the strong suppression of the higher-ups, this chaos was limited to those below the Nascent Soul Realm.
Amidst the struggle for territory and the redistribution of interests, the local forces of the Chaotic Sea and various factions from the Eastern Continent, Western Continent, Eastern Sea, Southern Sea, and Frostthunder Region launched an unprecedented "Land-Swap Operation."
The extent of the profits involved in exchanging the waters and Islands of the Chaotic Sea for territories and Spirit Veins in other places is unimaginable, and many forces in the Chaotic Sea have also made a fortune from this opportunity.
Thus, the establishment of the Four Symbols Alliance, like a signal, slowly ushered in a new era for the Lu Wu Realm.
