Zhenlong Pavilion

Guen returned to the Virtual Universe in front of Venerable Guiyi and took another look at the whole place from above.

This independent space-time was filled with countless stars. At its very center, surrounded by stars, stood a vast ancient city suspended in the air. In this enormous, empty city, a layer of hazy mist covered the area near the core. Guen hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now that he looked closely, he could make out the faint outline of a city behind the mist.

"Master, we've received a guidance signal from Venerable Guiyi. Would you like to enter his temple?" Moto suddenly said.

"Accept."

As soon as Guen spoke, the scene before him shifted. He appeared inside Venerable Guiyi's temple, simply decorated in interwoven red and white, lending it a pure and peaceful air.

"Although you've already joined the Hong Alliance, you're still missing one crucial step. That's why you can't see Hong Alliance City yet. Even Universe Masters must follow this procedure; no one can skip it." Venerable Guiyi grew serious. "The Hong Alliance is a highly inclusive alliance formed by the Human Race and many other races in the universe. No one is ever forced to join, but once you do, you must never betray the alliance. King Mengshou Guen, are you willing to join?"

"I am." Guen naturally had no reason to refuse.

Guen knew quite a bit about the Hong Alliance. All of humanity's powerful warriors at the King level or above were members. One could even imagine a future scenario: two human Kings met, but one wasn't in the Hong Alliance. The legitimacy of that person's rank would then be seriously questioned.

The moment Guen agreed, four dazzling stars suddenly formed in midair in the hall, shining brilliantly and illuminating the
