Chapter 2680 - 547: Human Alliance (Part 4)
And Cao Zhen is who he believed to be the best candidate.
As the words of the Yin Yang Sect Hierarch fell, all around, many Golden Immortal Realm experts from the Eastern Province nodded in agreement.
"The Yin Yang Sect Hierarch is right!"
"Yes, my friends, we have already suffered once because our forces were too scattered. Not only was our Eastern Province invaded by the Alien Race, but the other Three States were also invaded.
But now, everyone is still divided into Four Continents, four different factions. Are we going to suffer a third loss?
We must unite."
"Chief Cao is the most selfless person among our Human Clan. There is no one more suitable than Chief Cao to be our Human Clan’s leader!"
"What are you all hesitating for?"
The half-step Golden Immortals from the Three States, however, did not immediately speak up to reply.
Many of them have been stuck at the half-step Golden Immortal level for a long time with no desire to be anything but a Golden Immortal.
But directly recognizing Cao Zhen as the leader, what about the interests of their respective Great Teachings?
Moreover, such matters are not within their decision-making power.
"Everyone, the stakes are high at this moment. There are also Golden Immortal Realm experts within our continent. We must notify them and discuss the matter further."
Ultimately, these half-step Golden Immortals did not immediately make a decision.
Soon, many Golden Immortal Realm experts from the Three States received the clan symbols from their continent’s half-step Golden Immortals. They quickly set aside their tasks and immediately flew towards the Eastern Province. They never expected that having those half-step Golden Immortal experts come to the Eastern Province would result in such a situation.
In no time, all experts of the Human Clan gathered in front of the Hundred Peaks Sect’s mountain gate.
The numerous experts from the Three States quickly gathered together and began discussing.
"My friends, what do you make of this?" A middle-aged man dressed in a black martial artist’s outfit slowly spoke.
As soon as his voice fell, a man with sharply defined features and deep eyes that sparkled with edge, like a sharp blade hidden in the darkness, seemed as though he were an unsheathed sharp blade himself, and he said in a deep voice: "There is no need for much deliberation. Just as they said, our Human Clan has already suffered once due to scattered forces. We cannot afford a second downfall, and indeed our power must be united.
And if we are to choose a leader from among our Human Clan, there is no one more suitable than the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader."
"Indeed, I also agree that our entire Human Clan should unite and concurrently let the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader be the leader. This benefits the entire Human Clan. Honestly, even without today’s events, I intended to discuss with you all the matter of unifying our entire Human Clan."
"Friends, we have over a hundred cultivators at the half-step Golden Immortal Realm. The Eastern Province has fewer than forty half-step Golden Immortals, with over a dozen already achieving Golden Immortal status, and all have transcended the Heavenly Tribulation.
With guidance from the Hundred Peaks Sect Leader, more than thirty half-step Golden Immortals from the Three States will achieve the Golden Immortal Realm.
By then, the count of Golden Immortal Realm individuals within our entire Human Clan will not have just doubled but tripled or even more."
"Since everyone says as much, we shall unite. However, we should also consider their Eastern Province’s protocol."
Although there may be a few Golden Immortals in the Three States who do not wish to unite with the Eastern Province, or let Cao Zhen become the leader, they understand it is a significant trend. Without uniting, those half-step Golden Immortals will not agree.
So they must agree.
Subsequently, Cao Zhen and others informed the cultivators of the other Three States about the Eastern Province’s protocol. After receiving the other states’ agreement and promising the corresponding resources to these half-step Golden Immortals, Cao Zhen began offering guidance again.
The half-step Golden Immortals of the Three States previously only observed the Eastern Province’s half-step Golden Immortal cultivators achieving Enlightenment and reaching the Golden Immortal Realm. They knew all of this was likely because of Cao Zhen, but they didn’t know exactly how he did it.
When Cao Zhen began his guidance, they were nothing less than stunned.
They had long heard that there was almost nothing Sect Leader Cao wasn’t skilled at. But when Sect Leader Cao began his guidance, they realized that saying almost nothing didn’t fully capture it. Using the word ’almost’ was an insult to Sect Leader Cao!
Cao Zhen’s guidance stretched over an entire year.
He had no choice; he had too many people to guide, and his energy was heavily taxed as the guidance was nearly limitless.
Occasionally, he needed a moment of rest.
Initially, after guiding thirty-six half-step Golden Immortals of the Eastern Province, eight directly achieved Enlightenment.
Now, with a hundred and twenty-one half-step Golden Immortals from the other Three States, twenty-six directly achieved Enlightenment, and among them, eleven quickly broke through to become Golden Immortals after their Enlightenment.
Besides, there were nineteen half-step Golden Immortals from the Three States who became Golden Immortals.
Meanwhile, the Eastern Province saw three more half-step Golden Immortals also achieving the Golden Immortal status.
As a result, the total number of Golden Immortal Realm individuals within the Human Clan exceeded sixty!
In an instant, various clans across this world trembled.
