Ice Spirit Clan Seeks Allegiance
"I am at the Immortal Grade Initial Stage, and you are at the Immortal Grade Mid Stage. With the help of the Emperor Flame, refining a batch of high-grade Immortal Rank Emperor Pill Immortal Grade not be a problem."
After a moment's thought, Yao Chen replied.
"Brother Lin, when you emerge from seclusion, I, Xiao, will present you with a batch of Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pill."
Xiao Yan cupped his hands and said.
In the past, Flame Emperor would throw pills at people, but today he encountered someone throwing treasures at him. With no other choice, Flame Emperor had to unleash his ultimate move.
"Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pill, Immortal Grade High Stage Emperor Pill, can enhance the spiritual power level of Heaven Supreme Stage. In the original work, the Western Heaven War Emperor Immortal Grade Peak Stage, also coveted this pill."
A piece of information automatically surfaced in Lin Dong, and he chuckled, "In that case, I've come out on top."
"I hope Brother Lin will not refuse and will come with me."
Xiao Yan smiled without giving a chance to refuse and led everyone down to rest.
Before long, the Heaven Supreme Stage of the Endless Fire Territory arrived and delivered the divine materials needed for the Upgraded Mysterious Iron Heavy Ruler to Lin Dong then went into seclusion.
Xiao Yan joined forces with his master Yao Chen to refine the Immortal Grade High Stage Emperor Pill Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pill.
Meanwhile, the Master of Space began setting up a transcontinental, ultra-long-distance spatial Teleportation Spirit Array.
Before setting off, the Master of Space had left a secondary disk in the Martial Realm Endless Fire Territory. He only needed to activate the spatial coordinates to successfully set up the Teleportation Spirit Array connecting the two places.
The distance between the Land of Extreme South and the Extreme North Land is almost half of the Great Thousand World, and a one-way trip can easily take two or three months, or even longer.
In the future, travel between the Martial Realm and the Endless Fire Territory will no longer require traversing continents; the ultra-long-distance Teleportation Spirit Array will serve as the gateway between the two realms.
A month later, Lin Dong and Xiao Yan emerged from seclusion simultaneously, having successfully completed their training.
In gratitude for Lin Dong's upgrade of the Mysterious Iron Heavy Ruler to Immortal Grade Peerless Sacred Object, Xiao Flame General presented three Dragon-Phoenix Heavenly Sovereign Pills, and the guests and hosts were all delighted.
With the negotiations finalized, the two superpowers officially formed a strategic alliance.
The twenty or so powerful figures who accompanied Martial Realm remained in the Endless Fire Territory to establish a branch of the Martial Realm stationed there. Similarly, a group of powerful figures from the Endless Fire Territory Domain returned to the Martial Realm with Lin Dong's group to establish a branch of Endless Fire Territory stationed in the Martial Realm, responsible for the exchange and sharing of resources between the two.
Upon returning to the Martial Realm, Lin Dong received news that high-ranking Ice Spirit Clan were visiting.
"The Ice Spirit Clan? Tsk, they're quite clever. Summon them over. Also, invite the Ice Master over and tell her we have important business with her."
Lin Dong couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing this, for he immediately understood what the Ice Spirit Clan was up to.
"Yes, my lord!"
The Heavenly Dragon Demon Commander, prostrate beneath the throne, lightly pounded his chest with his right fist, and withdrew, accepting the order.
Shortly after Ice Master arrived, the Ice Spirit Ancestor, along with several high-ranking members of the Ice Spirit Clan, cautiously entered the hall.
"Ancestor, it's been a long time. What important matter brings you to my Martial Realm today?"
On the Darkness Throne, the Martial Ancestor Lord asked a question he already knew the answer to.
As an old monster who had lived for tens of thousands of years, the Ice Spirit Ancestor had no idea what shame was. He first bowed to Lin Dong with a cheerful smile, and then looked at the graceful Ice Blue Figure standing beside Lin Dong.
The figure was graceful and beautiful, with an expressionless face. Between her fair brows was an Ice Blue Ancient Seal, like a deity looking down upon all living beings.
His spiritual power cultivation was actually the same as hers, also Spirit Grade Late Heaven Supreme Stage!
"Such pure Royal Clan bloodline, its purity is probably almost approaching that of our clan's second-generation ancestor..."
The Ice Spirit Ancestor merely glanced at it, yet the bloodline within him seemed to rejoice faintly, startling him.
"May I ask if you Ice Master?"
Gazing at the beautiful figure that was exactly the same as the one inside the Ice Spirit Stele that day, the Ice Spirit Ancestor carefully cupped his hands and said.
"Um."
Ice Master nodded slightly, his expression as Ice as an ancient glacier.
However, in the eyes of the Ice Spirit Clan Expert, this was definitely the style of their Ice Spirit Royal Clan, and their resistance to it quietly melted away, and their gazes became somewhat more affectionate.
At the signal from the Ice Spirit Ancestor, the Ice Spirit Clan Chief, a Spirit Grade Middle Heaven Supreme Stage, gritted his teeth and stepped forward as if facing death, saying:
"As the Ice Spirit Clan, I am deeply aware of my own inadequacy. During my tenure, the clan's strength has declined one after another, and I fear that I am no longer capable of fulfilling my duties Patriarch. Therefore, I intend to formally retire and cultivate."
"Ice Master, you are of the Royal Clan blood, an ancient lineage, with unparalleled cultivation and noble virtue. We urge you to assume the position of clan Patriarch, to turn the tide for our clan, to save the collapsing edifice, and to restore our clan's ancient glory."
At this point, the Ice Spirit Clan Chief, his face flushed, bowed deeply.
Damn it, he finally realized that if the Martial Realm Mistress were to become the Patriarch, what would he, the former Patriarch, do? He would pack his bags and leave!
At this moment, the Ice Spirit Clan Chief was undoubtedly devastated.
"We beg the Ice Master to have mercy on our mother clan and appoint her as our clan Patriarch!"
Inside the hall, all the Ice Spirit Clan Expert bowed in unison.
Looking down at the guests from her mother's clan who were bowing in submission, the Ice Master's incredibly cold, icy blue eyes finally flickered, and she subconsciously looked at her husband.
"Huanhuan, whatever decision you make, I will fully support you."
The Martial Ancestor Lord smiled and said this.
Ying Huanhuan a warmth in her heart, and a gentle smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"You want me to become the Ice Spirit Clan Chief? Fine. But let me make this clear from the start: I don't want a puppet you hold up high, but a true clan leader with real power. Reform is imperative."
"If anyone dares to outwardly comply but inwardly defy orders, then the Martial Realm will not hesitate to purge the Ice Spirit Clan again, until you are completely obedient."
Just as the group of Ice Spirit Clan Expert remained in a kneeling posture, extremely uneasy, a cold yet undeniable melodious voice came from above their heads.
Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. They immediately understood the deeper meaning behind the words of the Martial Realm Mistress: she wasn't afraid of you wanting power, she was afraid you wouldn't take the bait.
"We pay our respects to the Patriarch chief!"
"We pay our respects to the Patriarch chief!"
The next moment, a unified and resounding call to worship echoed throughout the hall.
"Ice Master, as the Patriarch of our clan, it is only natural for you to wield our clan's supreme treasure, the Ice Spirit Stele, as it is an ancestral rule. Furthermore, the clan will immediately dispatch two Heaven Supreme Stage and a large number of powerful individuals to serve under your command."
"Ice Spirit Ancestor said impatiently as soon as he got up."
Just as he had previously believed that the Battle Emperor had the potential to become Saint Grade being, and thus wholeheartedly invested in the Battle Emperor, now that he had decided to rely on the Martial Realm, he might as well go all the way; being two-faced would not lead to great achievements.
"Bing He, you will also stay in the Martial Realm to assist the Patriarch leader in handling clan affairs."
The Ice Spirit Ancestor's next words dealt a devastating blow to the former Ice Spirit Clan Chief, who could only humiliatingly suppress his tears and reply, "Yes."
Several days later.
The Martial Realm and the Ice Spirit Clan jointly issued a statement saying:
The former Ice Spirit Clan Chief abdicated and Ice Master Ying Huanhuan Martial Realm Mistress, the Ice Spirit Clan's Royal Clan member who had been living abroad, to assume the position of clan Patriarch.
This news caused quite a stir in the Great Thousand World.
The combination of a burgeoning emerging power and a declining Primordial Race is truly astonishing.
While many people were secretly cursing the Ice Spirit Ancestor for being shameless, having just been beaten up, they couldn't help but admire the Ice Spirit Clan's good judgment.
The Martial Ancestor, the Master of Martial Realm, has already become Immortal Grade Heaven Supreme and Immortal Grade Spirit Artifact Grandmaster in less than thirty years of cultivation. His future achievements will be at least a Saint-level Saint-grade Mighty Expert.
The Ice Spirit Clan has already latched onto a powerful force!
