Shocking News
Upon receiving the news, Abbot Chen Xiaoqiu of One-Guard Monastery became serious.
The Azure Cloud Sect was already terrifying enough, but now it has formed an alliance with the Langya Sacred Land, Heavenly Heart Island, and Sea-Heaven Pavilion?
He opened the map of the world, his heart heavy.
In the grand scheme of things, their position One-Guard Monastery is in the northeast corner.
There are three forces in the vicinity: Langya Sacred Land, Great Snow Mountain, and Cloud Dream Marsh.
As for the other side of One-Guard Monastery, it is the sea, and further on is the endless Void.
Now, Cloud Dream Marsh, as Forbidden Land, has erupted into chaos, and the Langya Sacred Land on the other side has formed an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect... If the Great Snow Mountain also forms an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect, their position will be awkward.
He pondered for a long time before instructing Yun Song, "Go and discuss with the Great Snow Mountain; we must form an alliance."
This is no longer the loose cooperation of the past, but a true alliance.
Both sides must cooperate deeply, otherwise we'll be in serious trouble!
Yun Song hurriedly went to the Great Snow Mountain.
The abbot looked at the Cloud Firmament Palace on the map and silently mourned for the Cloud Firmament Palace for a while.
Because the location of the Cloud Firmament Palace is even more awkward!
At this moment, the Palace Master of the Cloud Firmament Palace looked solemn, and none of the important figures in the Cloud Firmament Palace in the Cloud Firmament Hall showed any smiles.
The forces surrounding them included Cloud Dream Marsh, Langya Sacred Land, Sea-Heaven Pavilion, and another side that, although facing the sea, had Heavenly Heart Island deep within it!
In other words, they either face the forbidden zone head-on or are surrounded by the alliance of the Azure Cloud Sect and Langya Sacred Land!
This hidden threat made the Palace Master of the Cloud Firmament Palace extremely cautious.
The Palace Master of the Cloud Firmament Palace said in a deep voice, "We must consider how to deal with their alliance."
To approach or to confront?
If they get close, then we should go and discuss an alliance with them.
If it's going to be a confrontation, then we need to be careful from today onwards."
"Let's form an alliance!" said an elder at the Dao Integration Realm. "Anyway, our hatred for them isn't deep, and the conflict between us isn't insurmountable."
Otherwise, if we are surrounded by them and they become hostile towards us, we will have to be careful that they intercept and kill us on the way if we want to go out to trade with other sects.
This is so frustrating!
Moreover, it is also very detrimental to the development of our Cloud Firmament Palace.
"In that case, if we ally with them, we'll be safe, and it'll save us a lot of trouble."
"Yes, let's form an alliance!" Many elders echoed.
However, an elder raised an objection. "In the short term, this alliance should not have any major problems."
However, in the long run, the Azure Cloud Sect is riddled with internal contradictions. Although it seems to be developing well now, it will inevitably fall apart if it encounters any major problems.
Moreover, their strength is weak, and their resources are all concentrated in Immortal Artifact, making them very unstable.
The truly powerful Demon Lord is not a member of the Azure Cloud Sect, and may even pose a great threat to the Azure Cloud Sect.
On one side of the Langya Sacred Land, there was a group of bookworms.
Their combat strength is also weak, and their foundation is relatively poor.
Sea-Heaven Pavilion and Heavenly Heart Island are too far apart; distant water cannot quench immediate thirst.
Moreover, their alliance is very loose, and it's unclear when it might disintegrate.
On the other hand, Zhou Xuansheng is currently in the Late Tribulation Transcendence Realm. If he takes another step, he will reach the True Immortal Realm, becoming an invincible being!
If they rashly form an alliance with the Azure Cloud Sect, they will inevitably face threats from Zhou Xuansheng, and even from other sects.
So we might as well just swallow our pride, stay away from everyone, and quietly wait for things to change.
The Palace Master of the Cloud Firmament Palace observed that both sides in the argument had valid points.
After a long silence, she slowly said, "In that case, let's remain still and maintain our current posture. Of course, we shouldn't cause trouble with the surrounding Sea-Heaven Pavilion and Langya Sacred Land, lest they cut off our path!"
Subsequently, the policy was determined.
When Zhou Junchen of the Myriad Spirits Sect learned that Heavenly Heart Island and Sea-Heaven Pavilion had allied with the Azure Cloud Sect and Langya Sacred Land, he couldn't help but gasp in shock.
The Azure Cloud Sect recently Tribulation Transcendence Realm, and now it has formed an alliance with two more major sects. Is it about to ascend to the heavens?
He dared not delay and hurriedly went to find Zhou Xuansheng.
This is such a big matter that he must alert Zhou Xuansheng!
However, he did not meet Zhou Xuansheng directly; instead, he transmitted the information through the secluded cultivation area.
After receiving the news, Zhou Xuansheng remained silent for a long time before calmly saying to Zhou Junchen, "Tell the world that I will definitely break through to the True Immortal Realm within fifteen years at most!"
Once he reaches the True Immortal Realm, all alliances will be meaningless.
What use is an alliance in the face of absolute power?
Zhou Junchen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "Congratulations, Sect Master!"
Subsequently, he issued a statement saying that Zhou Xuansheng had gone into seclusion and was attempting to break through to the True Immortal Realm!
The world was in uproar once again.
Other sects that did not ally with the Azure Cloud Sect instantly lost interest, and some even chose to align themselves with the Myriad Spirits Sect.
Conversely, sects such as Langya Sacred Land, Sea-Heaven Pavilion, and Heavenly Heart Island wore solemn expressions.
At the Azure Cloud Sect, Yi Lin was discussing with Zhang Yang when she asked with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoist Zhang, if Sect Master Zhou really reaches the True Immortal Realm, I'm afraid it will be troublesome!"
Given the relationship between the Myriad Spirits Sect and your Azure Cloud Sect, they will probably cause trouble for your Azure Cloud Sect immediately.
I'd like to ask you, how do you plan to deal with this?
Zhang Yang smiled faintly, "It's just a True Immortal Realm, it can't scare me!"
He's already been terrified by the Demon Emperor, so what's the True Immortal Realm to him?
Besides, according to Gudoer, if Zhou Xuansheng really has reached the True Immortal Realm, they can simply unleash the Demon Lord!
Release the strongest Blood Shadow Demon, or give the Demonic Weapon to Gu Yan let him deal with it.
Ultimately, it's just True Immortal Realm!
Yi Lin stared at Zhang Yang in astonishment, thinking to herself, "You really don't take a True Immortal Realm seriously at all?"
Could it be that the Azure Cloud Sect still has some trump card up its sleeve?
Zhang Yang laughed and said, "Yi Lin, Zhou Xuansheng hasn't reached the True Immortal Realm yet, so there's no need to scare yourself. Maybe by the time he reaches the True Immortal Realm, my master will have already reached it... Haha!"
This is merely a tactic employed by the Myriad Spirits Sect to gain the upper hand; there's no need to take it seriously!
Yi Lin was speechless.
What kind of joke is this?
She took a deep breath and asked, "What about the Black-Robed Man we encountered on Heavenly Heart Island? Although we used Immortal Artifact to banish him to fifteen years in the future, he'll be waiting for us there."
We are now allies and need your help to deal with this Black-Robed Man.
Moreover, the Black-Robed Man has already caused chaos throughout the world; he certainly isn't only targeting our Heavenly Heart Island. This is everyone's responsibility."
Zhang Yang smiled and said, "Fifteen years from now, I'll bring five Demon Lords to help you. Don't worry, I keep my word!"
He has experience dealing with Black-Robed Man!
When the time comes, just strip off the "black robe" and hand it over to the Immortal-Refining Cauldron for refining. Who knows, the Immortal-Refining Cauldron might become King-Grade Immortal Artifact ahead of time!
"Okay, then I'll take that as a yes!" Yi Lin stared at Zhang Yang, observing Zhang Yang expression.
"Of course, I never lie to my own people!" Zhang Yang stood up and said to Yi Lin, "Fellow Daoist, you've come at the perfect time. Today is a momentous day for Azure Cloud City, and I invite you to witness this great moment together!"
"Does Azure Cloud City have any major festivals? What festivals?"
"It's the first day of the City That Never Sleeps!" Zhang Yang smiled slightly and gave the order, "Junior Brother Jiang, night has fallen, turn on the lights!"
