Stronger from Earth

A few Half-Step Immortal big shots gathered together, setting aside the dragon-slaying incident, instead talking about the Four Realms Alliance.

For Earth Civilization, the internal friction between Celestial Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, no matter how big, couldn’t turn the sky upside down.

In contrast, external threats exerted immense pressure on many formidable figures, necessitating vigilance even among the world’s suppressive Immortals.

"The troubles from the Abyss Realm, Demon Realm, Spirit Race, and Mechanical Race have yet to be resolved, and now the issues with the Four Realms Alliance are coming one after another—what a tumultuous time."

Holy Spear Judgment has noticeably felt the increasing frequency of sudden events within the Mother Star lately, requiring him to travel frequently.

Mr. John said, "The troubles from the Four Realms Alliance may be more troublesome than our previous opponents. A few days ago, the Four Realms Envoys arrived, causing quite a stir."

Though their arrogance was subdued, the strength of the Four Realms Alliance is truly not to be underestimated.

The existence of Demigods and True Gods alone is terrifying enough, not to mention the combined number of Immortals in the Four Realms Alliance, which is headache-inducingly high.

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable said, "We, the old-timers, need time, the young need time, and the Mother Star needs time."

In fact, they are all stuck at a threshold, a threshold of major breakthrough and explosive growth.

The current Earth Civilization, with five hundred years of accumulated resources, has birthed over twenty Immortals, each reaching for the sky.

And the number of Half-Step Immortals is nearly tenfold!

Apart from some people who haven’t yet reached the breakthrough limit due to insufficient accumulation of time and resources.

In fact, there are quite a few Half-Step Immortals who already have the ability to break through and step into the Immortal Domain.

What blocks them is the ceiling of the Mother Star.

As the saying goes, you can’t raise a whale in a pond, nor can you raise too many fish; the upper limit and capacity of strong beings that the Mother Star can now nurture are there.

If not for this, a large portion of them could have already been able to ascend to Immortal.

Unless one has truly extraordinary talent, like Hong Xuanji who breaks through the ceiling, upon stepping into the Immortal Domain, can single-handedly suppress two Immortals from the Celestial Divine Realm.

Similarly, the Mother Star also needs accumulation to promote itself to become a Great Thousand World!

Once the Mother Star advances to a Great Thousand World, Earth Civilization not only has the possibility of birthing a True God but also a large number of Immortals could emerge.

Yes, a large number!

At that time, the comprehensive strength of Earth Civilization would no longer fear the Four Realms Alliance and could regard the Abyss Realm, Demon Realm, Spirit Race, and Mechanical Race as mere chaff.

"Before the Mother Star advances to a Great Thousand World, we can only employ delaying tactics, ally with the Four Realms Alliance, drive wolves to devour tigers to suppress otherworldly forces like the Abyss Realm."

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable clearly understands the advantages and disadvantages of Earth Civilization; in these times, it is not wise to make enemies with the Four Realms Alliance and should temporarily join hands with them, sharing in the benefits of devouring the otherworldly Abyss Realm, etc.

In this way, enough time can be secured!

Recalling the Four Realms Alliance, Old John mentioned Wang Xuan.

"A few days ago, various Immortal Influences went all out to dent the prestige of the Four Realms Envoys."

"Especially the Immortal Martial Taoist, who crossed a Great Realm and temporarily broke through to suppress the Celestial Divine Realm’s strongest genius, Diyang Wushuang."

"That battle shocked the world and added substantial weight to converting the Four Realms Alliance’s invasion intention to cooperation."

Holy Spear Judgment also praised: "This Immortal Martial Taoist is arguably the most outstanding among the younger generation today."

At the age of thirty, the Immortal Martial Taoist has already reached the peak of Grotto Void, with the ability to challenge across Great Realms.

The talent and strength of the Immortal Martial Taoist have already come under their scrutiny, for in a few years, the Immortal Martial Taoist might become one of the strong players alongside them.

In the further future, the Immortal Martial Taoist is destined to stand above them, pursuing the life level of a True God.

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable also acknowledges the Immortal Martial Taoist, saying: "When this child decides to make himself known, he does so sensationally. Achieving such feats in six years, he is certainly a person blessed with extraordinary fortune."

"His temperament and character truly befit the title of Immortal Martial Taoist, akin to the Martial Immortal, harboring great love and often benefiting the world."

Not long ago, when the Immortal Martial Taoist arrived at Sea City, he conveniently cleared out a group of Alien Race infiltrators, among them not a few in the Grotto Void Realm.

Such is his magnanimity.

While they were chatting, a team from Ten Thousand Dragon Nest approached, led by none other than the current leader of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest—Long Wudao.

Long Wudao transformed into a middle-aged man, truly bearing a commanding presence, followed by Long Yu and a retinue of True Dragons.

"Daoist Xuan Yuan, it has been some time since we last met." Long Wudao said coolly.

He then glanced at Mr. John and Holy Spear Judgment, saying, "You two are here as well; pardon the lack of a proper welcome."

It’s evident that he wasn’t quite welcoming to these individuals.

Just a few days ago, the Celestial Desolate Sword Venerable had to bow to Long Wudao, and his heart burned with anger, sneering, "Long Wudao senior, there’s an ancient saying in the Divine Land, that a tiger, no matter how cruel, will not eat its cubs. Dare I ask, does the dragon poison eat its own?"

This Long Wudao truly knows how to feign ignorance. Clearly, it was his scheme to drag Celestial Sword Mountain into the water, benefiting the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest while shedding culpability from himself—a malicious plan that hits three birds with one stone, calculated right on the head of Celestial Sword Mountain, yet now he still refuses to admit fault, adopting an air of smugness against them.

Long Wudao glanced at the Celestial Desolate Sword Venerable, and by his side, Long Yu stepped forward, shouting, "Old Celestial Desolate, your Celestial Sword Mountain’s Sword Immortal slayed a dragon, and that is an iron-clad fact. Are you trying to deny it?"

Ziwei Immortal Monarch, having just lost an arm two days ago, retorted mercilessly, "My disciple was entrapped by your schemes, and now you shamelessly speak such words with a thick face."

He was truly itching to recreate that gruesome dragon-slaying scene in front of everyone.

Long Wudao looked towards Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, saying, "It seems that the folks at Celestial Sword Mountain have a deep misunderstanding of me, Long Wudao."

Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Who is right and who is wrong, the truth will naturally be revealed one day."

What Celestial Sword Mountain cannot bear is deceit, for apology means nothing to them. If Celestial Sword Mountain is at fault, then a loss of face is of no concern.

But if someone dared to plot against them, they should not blame the mercilessness of their Long Sword, which would teach them a bloody lesson!

Long Wudao stood with hands behind his back, saying, "Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable, don’t be so sure of yourselves. What if you are indeed at fault against my Ten Thousand Dragon Nest?"

Desirer’s Primordial Spirit was hidden within this Half-Step Immortal dragon’s flesh shell, his thoughts weaving the entire scheme.

From infiltrating Earth to occupying Ten Thousand Dragon Nest, and then to the later dragon-slaying incident and Longevity Taoist, various details surfaced in his mind.

He thought to himself, ’Though the setup isn’t failproof, for the foreseeable future, the strong figures of Earth Civilization should find it hard to uncover.’

Desirer believed his setup had no loopholes, and even if there were any, the power of the Abyss would help him fill them in.

Hearing Long Wudao’s words, Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable did not back down, saying, "Long Wudao, just say what you want!"

If you want something from Celestial Sword Mountain, you’d better have what it takes to take it!

Long Wudao smiled, "Near the seas adjacent to the Divine Land lies a Gate of the World of the Canglan Realm. I’m not asking for much, just one-tenth of the development rights from your Celestial Sword Mountain for Ten Thousand Dragon Nest will suffice."

The dragon-slaying incident has captured the world’s attention, and now, as Celestial Sword Mountain attempts to "overturn the case," it naturally has to pay a price.

In due time, even if Celestial Sword Mountain is unwilling, it will have no choice but to share the rights to the Canglan Realm with Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.

Hearing this, Ziwei Immortal Monarch among the Celestial Sword Mountain crowd was visibly shaken, eyes wide as he glared at Long Wudao.

’These damn things, they truly have their sights set on the Canglan Realm! The Cyan Blade Dragon Slayer incident was truly orchestrated by them!’

In an instant, Ziwei Immortal Monarch unraveled the entire logical thread of the matter.

No wonder, no wonder Long Yu went to the Canglan Realm’s Realm Gate, and after being rejected multiple times, the Cyan Blade disciple ended up in a dragon-slaying incident.

Behind all of this, it was them manipulating and scheming, with Canglan Realm as their target!

Could it be that the Canglan Realm has something they must obtain, important enough to lead to a falling-out with Celestial Sword Mountain?

Seeing Ziwei Immortal Monarch’s hateful and furious expression, Xuanyuan Celestial Venerable immediately understood that Long Wudao had indeed orchestrated the entire dragon-slaying incident.

If so, he must seek justice!

Xuanyuan Mu said coldly, "As for the development rights to Canglan Realm, if Ten Thousand Dragon Nest wants it, then take it."

After saying this, he shifted the tone, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "But if there indeed was foul play in the dragon-slaying incident, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

The eyes of the two shifted towards Mr. John and Holy Spear Judgment. With these two Half-Step Immortals as witnesses, no one could regret it afterward.

The two elders of Earth Civilization, seeing tensions high on both sides, didn’t know what to say for a moment, their eyes full of helplessness.

This event seems impossible to settle peacefully; a major incident is bound to happen.
