A frank talk with Yun Fusheng
News of the Immortal Palace's takeover of the South Sea spread like wildfire throughout the realm.
The major cultivation forces in the South Sea, the Demon Star Sea, Qingzhou, and even the distant Qianyuan Cultivation World quickly learned of this event.
Of all these forces, the Qianyuan Cultivation World was the happiest.
The departure of the Immortal Palace means that the Qianyuan Cultivation World can finally eradicate this Demonic Path influence and usher in true peace.
For the many islands in the South Sea, this is undoubtedly the beginning of a nightmare.
The fact that the forces located on the Middle Island and Lower Island were responsible for compensating 3 billion Spirit Stone was naturally unknown to them.
They only witnessed the destruction of the Crimson Flame Sect and the Barren Rock Sect, which brought them immense panic.
In their eyes, this was a terrifying demonstration of the power of the Demonic Path Immortal Palace and the Demonic Path, forcing the South Sea Upper Nine Islands to make concessions and relinquish Crimson Flame Island.
As a result, the lower-level forces in the Southern Sea Cultivation World were all in a state of fear, afraid that they would become the next target of the Immortal Palace.
This fear spread like a plague, shrouding the entire Southern Sea Cultivation World in a tense atmosphere.
Amidst widespread panic within the Southern Sea Cultivation World.
Su Bai handed over the flesh and blood of the Cultivator he had obtained in this battle to Heavenly Gang.
Let him cultivate diligently and strive to Advance to Purple Zombie realm as soon as possible.
He then left Crimson Flame Island and reverted to his identity as Lu Jiu, the Vice Alliance Leader of the Heavenly Star Alliance.
After finding a secluded place and staying there for ten days, they finally set off for Thunder Island.
Several days later.
Above Thunder Island, a faint Spatial Fluctuation suddenly arose, like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly emerged from the ripples.
The newcomer was tall and slender, dressed in a moon-colored robe, and was a handsome young male cultivator.
That figure was none other than Su Bai.
He made no attempt to conceal his presence, and simply swaggered into the sky Thunder Island.
"It's still more comfortable switching back to the original character!"
Once you switch back to your original body, you can freely use Short-distance Teleportation Technique.
Although short-distance teleportation consumes Spiritual Power and takes a long time to cast, it is much easier and more enjoyable than long-distance travel.
Su Bai's appearance did not escape the notice of the patrolling guards on Thunder Island.
Almost immediately after he appeared, several sharp shouts rang out, "Who goes there?"
"Who dares to trespass on Thunder Island!"
After the Immortal Palace moved in, the guards on Thunder Island, arranged by the Thunder Cloud Palace, obviously patrolled more diligently, and immediately treated any strangers who intruded as if they were facing a major enemy.
However, when they saw Su Bai's face clearly, their expressions changed, and one of them exclaimed, "Huh? It's Lu Jiu from the Heavenly Star Alliance!"
"Vice Alliance Leader Lu, please forgive my poor eyesight!"
The other guards echoed his sentiments. Lu Jiu's reputation in the South Sea was quite high, and his name had already spread throughout the area, so these patrolling guards quickly recognized him.
Seeing this, Su Bai smiled faintly and nodded slightly to the guards, saying, "It's alright. I heard about the South Sea Immortal Palace and came here specifically to see Old Ancestor Yun."
His voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
At the same time, Su Bai's three thousand miles of Divine Sense had already enveloped the entire Thunder Island like a vast net.
He easily located the location of Old Ancestor Yun and conveyed his purpose to Old Ancestor Yun through Divine Sense Transmission.
Before long, a group of Golden Core Cultivator from the Thunder Cloud Palace arrived like shooting stars, clearly having received instructions from Old Ancestor Yun to come and welcome Su Bai.
"Senior Lu, please follow me!"
Among this group of Golden Core Cultivator, the one leading them was none other than Genius Chen Shuo of the Thunder Cloud Palace.
He smiled and bowed respectfully to Su Bai.
Su Bai nodded slightly, boarded Chen Shuo's flying Spirit Artifact, and soon landed in a square at the Thunder Cloud Palace Mountain Gate.
Old Ancestor Yun stood in the square early on to personally welcome Lu Jiu's arrival.
This was a treatment that had never been given to the South Sea Nascent Souls when they came to the Thunder Cloud Palace before.
This clearly demonstrates how much Old Ancestor Yun values Su Bai.
In the battle at Green Ying Spirit Plain, Su Bai demonstrated Combat Power far exceeding his current realm, even capable of fighting against Late Demon King Stage.
Such a genius could not be ignored by Old Ancestor Yun.
This time, when Old Ancestor Yun looked at Su Bai, he felt a slight chill in his heart. Why did this kid give him a dangerous feeling?
It's only been a few years, and this kid's Combat Power has improved again?
Old Ancestor Yun was extremely surprised. As expected of Sword Cultivator known for his ruthlessness, this young man must have made great progress in his Sword Cultivator Divine Ability.
Su Bai landed in front of Yun Fusheng.
"Lu Jiu, you've really made a fool of yourselves in the Heavenly Star Alliance this time. I really miss the days when we slew the Demon King together in the Green Ying Spirit Plain Array." Old Ancestor Yun said in a low voice.
The joke he was referring to was, of course, the situation in which the South Sea attack on Crimson Flame Island, only to end in a dismal failure.
In particular, compared to Lu Jiu's achievements many years ago, when he led a large number of Nascent Soul cultivators to invade the Green Ying Spirit Plain, forcefully killing many Demon King and taking over this large Spirit Plain Green Ying Spirit Plain.
Yun Fusheng's performance this time looks more like a joke!
Lu Jiu cupped his hands in a respectful gesture and replied with a smile, "Old Ancestor Yun, you flatter me. There's no need for such words."
"You don't need to belittle yourself. The situation in the South Sea is different from that of our Heavenly Star Alliance, so naturally the methods of handling it will also differ."
"Now that the matter has been resolved, there is no need for us to discuss it further!"
His words not only gave Old Ancestor Yun a way out, but also expressed his understanding of the situation in the Southern Sea Cultivation World.
Compared to the Battle of Green Ying Spirit Plain, the Southern Sea Cultivation World's performance in dealing with the Immortal Palace was indeed unsatisfactory.
However, Lu Jiu also knew that there were many complex factors involved, making it difficult for the Southern Sea Cultivation World to unite as effectively as the Heavenly Star Alliance in fighting against the enemy.
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Yun's smile relaxed slightly. He laughed heartily and said, "Haha, you're right. Lu Jiu, you really know how to handle Old Ancestor temper. Come, come, Old Ancestor recently acquired a batch of excellent Spirit Wine. Let's enjoy a few cups together!"
Yun Fusheng leaped into the air.
Upon seeing this, Su Bai didn't hesitate and immediately followed closely behind Yun Fusheng, speeding away.
Before long, they arrived at a feng shui Treasured Land where Yun Fusheng usually relaxes.
This Treasured Land is surrounded by several acres of lush green bamboo. When a gentle breeze blows, the bamboo leaves rustle, creating a sound like heavenly music.
Cultivators have a special fondness for bamboo because it symbolizes perseverance, just as they defy the heavens.
The bamboo here is exceptionally lush, resembling a green Ocean.
In the center of this bamboo forest stands a towering Stone Platform, shrouded in mist, resembling a secluded fairyland.
At this moment, Su Bai and Yun Fusheng were sitting opposite each other on this high platform.
On the stone table in front of them was a pot of top-grade Spirit Wine, exuding a rich aroma.
The wine in this pot has a pale greenish-blue color, as clear and translucent as jade, making it irresistibly appealing.
Yun Fusheng smiled and gestured to Su Bai, who understood immediately. Su Bai gently picked up his wine glass and carefully took a sip.
In an instant, a rich aroma of wine filled his mouth, like a clear spring flowing down his throat, bringing an unprecedentedly wonderful taste.
This wine has a unique flavor that can not only slightly affect the emotions of Nascent Soul Cultivator, but also make people intoxicated and forget all their troubles.
Compared to the fine wines Su Bai had previously tasted among the Merfolk Race, this was in no way inferior, and perhaps even superior.
"Lu Jiu, I can guess somewhat why you've Old Ancestor here." Old Ancestor Yun picked up his wine cup, took a sip of the Spirit Wine, then slowly put the cup down, stared at Lu Jiu, and said in a deep voice.
Su Bai then followed up by asking, "So, Old Ancestor, what are your thoughts?"
"By joining the Heavenly Star Alliance, I can decide to directly allocate a prime Spirit Land on the Green Ying Spirit Plain as the Thunder Cloud Palace Mountain Gate," Su Bai said earnestly. As the Lord of Green Ying Spirit Plain, he certainly had this much authority.
This is the first time the Heavenly Star Alliance has invited a complete Sect Force to join, so the Heavenly Star Alliance Senior Leadership need to have a good discussion with them.
Su Bai continued, "Not only that, Heavenly Star City and Green Ying City will also Tribute City for the Thunder Cloud Palace to manage free of charge."
Both cities are important Stronghold of the Heavenly Star Alliance, and having Stronghold here is undoubtedly a huge advantage for the Thunder Cloud Palace.
Lu Jiu seemed to think that wasn't enough, and continued, "In the future, once Old Ancestor Yun has completely consolidated his position in the Heavenly Star Alliance, I will certainly strongly recommend him for the position of Vice Alliance Leader."
Upon hearing this, Old Ancestor Yun smiled and shook his head, saying, "Lu Jiu, you truly deserve to be called the number one genius of the Heavenly Star Alliance. No wonder Old Ancestor Heavenly Star suppressed Xun Huo in one fell swoop and appointed you as the Vice Alliance Leader. What you've said makes me a little tempted."
"Compared to you, although Chen Shuo possesses excellent Spirit Root and Spell Talent, he is ultimately far inferior."
Chen Shuo was the successor he had chosen for the Thunder Cloud Palace. Before Su Bai appeared, Old Ancestor Yun had always believed that he was the most outstanding genius.
But in front of Su Bai, even the greatest genius pales in comparison.
Su Bai had no way to respond to that.
Su Bai cupped his hands in greeting and analyzed for Yun Fusheng, "Old Ancestor Yun, now that the Immortal Palace has settled in the South Sea, even if this Devil Dao Sect truly repents, it won't be a matter of just a day or two."
"Even if they don't dare to openly continue plundering other islands, it's perfectly normal for them to engage in petty theft and other underhanded activities."
"In the short term, the training environment in the South Sea will inevitably become even more challenging."
"Furthermore, the cultivation resources in the South Sea are worlds apart from those in the Demon Star Sea."
"Thunder Cloud Palace already Stronghold in the Demon Star Sea, as you, Old Ancestor Yun, are surely aware of."
"The joining of the Thunder Cloud Palace into the Demon Star Sea will greatly benefit both Thunder Cloud Palace and the Heavenly Star Alliance."
Old Ancestor Yun took a sip of wine and nodded slightly. "Lu Jiu, Old Ancestor am naturally aware of all that you have said."
"Combat the Demon Race in the Demon Star Sea is much more enjoyable than hiding in this small place in the South Sea."
"But Thunder Cloud Palace has been based on Thunder Island for thousands of years."
"Relocating Thunder Cloud Palace is not an easy task..."
Su Bai gritted his teeth and decided to go for it!
If we can persuade Thunder Cloud Palace, the only Nascent Soul Late Stage in the South Sea, to join the Heavenly Star Alliance, his leading role will be enormous.
"Old Ancestor Yun, my disciple Thunder Cloud Palace has several Disciple who have reached the peak of the Peak Golden Core stage. If you lead Thunder Cloud Palace to join the Heavenly Star Alliance, I will personally gift Thunder Cloud Palace a Lightning Summoning Soul Cleansing Pill!"
"Doesn't this demonstrate the sincerity of our Heavenly Star Alliance?"
There are priorities, and as long as Yun Fusheng agreed, Su Bai had no choice but to give the Jade Mist Sect Nascent Soul Breakthrough Pill, to the Thunder Cloud Palace first.
