The Heaven-shattering: I and Wu Shi compete for the throne

Chapter 589 Rejecting Special Places
The leading Celestial King cannot force the Celestial Kings of his faction to do anything. In fact, many Celestial Kings can leave their faction and join other factions at any time if they want.

Furthermore, although the many Celestial Kings are divided into three camps and many Celestial Kings have grudges against each other, the three camps are not actually hostile to each other.

Many Celestial Kings were unwilling to engage in large-scale battles with Celestial Kings from other factions. What they wanted was a certain degree of influence and the ability to comprehend the sword light of the Ultimate Ancient Land while in this place, so that if they were accidentally injured, no one could take advantage of them.

"I have no intention of joining any faction, please forgive me, fellow Daoist!" Li Daoming refused without the slightest hesitation.

Although joining a faction doesn't mean being in a master-servant relationship with the leader of that faction, but rather being an ally, one is not subject to many restrictions.

But if you actually join one of the camps, you'll be relegated to a subordinate position.

If the other party were a quasi-Immortal Emperor, then an Immortal Emperor would be fine, as it would take him quite some time to grow to that level. But a mere Emperor Light Immortal King is not qualified, even if he is only nominally one.

"Fellow Daoist Wuji, there's no need to rush to refuse. Why not consider it carefully for a while before making a decision?" Xianyin said gently, showing no anger at being rejected.

"Xian Yin is absolutely right! Even though we are very careful when we try to comprehend the sword light left behind by the Desolate Emperor, we are often injured by it. Fortunately, the sword light has no killing intent towards us. Otherwise, even if we only trigger it by a trace, we would surely die."

Although the sword light did not intend to kill us, being injured by it would be a serious injury, and our combat strength would drop significantly.

"With the help of allies, it will be easier to recover from the injuries. Moreover, with allies watching over me, I don't have to worry about being targeted by petty villains," Kong Ming said, his tone tinged with emotion.

In other words, now that many Immortal Kings have joined forces to establish the Immortal Alliance, the Immortal Kings have gathered into three camps, restraining and deterring each other. Even if many Immortal Kings comprehend the sword energy left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor and are seriously injured by the sword energy, they will not be in much danger.

However, before the Immortal Alliance was established, if someone was severely injured by sword energy and had no allies to help them, they would most likely be targeted by others.

If they cannot hide and recover from their injuries in time, they may even be hunted down.

The essence blood of a Celestial King can also be quite effective against powerful individuals of the same level, and since the injuries are severe, dealing with such individuals is not too difficult.

As Xianyin and Kongming spoke, Jiuyuan, Tianshi, and others also spoke up, urging Li Daoming not to rush into rejection and to consider it carefully for a while.

Seeing this, although he still did not intend to join any camp, Li Daoming did not directly refuse.

Jiu Yuan was one thing, but Xian Yin, Jin Yang, and the other four had not only not offended him since he arrived, but had also taken the initiative to introduce him to the situation here, which could be considered a small favor.

They weren't asking him to agree now, but just wanted him to think it over for a while before making a decision, so he couldn't just refuse outright.

The group chatted amiably, and the five members of the Immortal Clan revealed some of the methods used by the Immortal Kings with whom they had grudges, while also secretly inquiring about Li Daoming's background.

Li Daoming understood the situation here and the many Immortal Kings, and also heard the inquiries from several Immortal Kings. He secretly concealed the human realm, the strange world, and the immortal realm, only revealing some embellished information about the Boundless Immortal Realm.

After talking for a long time, Li Daoming wanted to take his leave and temporarily leave this place to enter the Boundary Sea and send everything back.

However, he didn't say he was leaving. He only said he was going to the Immortal Alliance headquarters to join the Immortal Alliance, and then to visit the Ultimate Ancient Land, the Dao Discussion Platform, the Void Battlefield of the Boundary Sea, and so on.

Of course, what he said was true. After he left and relayed the message back, he was indeed going to the Immortal Alliance headquarters to join the Immortal Alliance and then visit the places that Xian Yin and the others had emphasized earlier.

According to Xianyin and others, all the Immortal Kings who come to this place will join the Immortal Alliance. Joining the Immortal Alliance is not difficult; one only needs to go to the Immortal Alliance headquarters, register one's identity, and agree to abide by the agreements jointly set forth by the many Immortal Kings of the Immortal Alliance.

The Immortal Alliance does not require members to reveal too much, only their Daoist name and cultivation level.

It doesn't matter if you make up a Daoist name arbitrarily, but unless you change it yourself in the future, people in the Immortal Alliance will all refer to you by that Daoist name.

Cultivation only requires reaching a high realm, such as True Immortal or Immortal King.

Once you join the Immortal Alliance, the alliance will provide you with a territory as your training ground, protecting your safety there. You will also have access to special areas created by various Immortal Kings...

If you do not wish to join the Immortal Alliance, then naturally none of the above apply.

Although they will not prevent him from going to the Ultimate Ancient Land to comprehend the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, if he suffers a backlash while comprehending it, and if any Immortal King of the Immortal Alliance tries to take advantage of his vulnerability, the Immortal Alliance will not provide him with protection.

The Immortal Alliance is a loose alliance formed by many Immortal Kings. The Immortal Kings are equal and there is no so-called leader. As long as they agree to abide by the few agreements jointly set by the Immortal Kings, they will not be bound by much.

Moreover, this place was jointly built by many Immortal Kings of the Immortal Alliance. Given that many Immortal Kings who came here agreed to join the Immortal Alliance, it would be somewhat unconventional not to join the Immortal Alliance, and it would also be detrimental to his plans here.

Therefore, it was natural for him to join the Immortal Alliance!
After joining the Immortal Alliance, he would definitely want to see the sword light left behind by the Desolate Heavenly Emperor, which was also his most important purpose in coming here.

After that, we'll go and see the places that Xianyin and the others emphasized.

For example, the Dao Discussion Platform is where many Immortal Kings hold Dao Discussion Conferences every 100,000 years. Although not every Immortal King participates every time, by now, almost all Immortal Kings have participated, and at least half of the Immortal Kings participate in each Dao Discussion Conference.

For example, the Void Battlefield of the Boundary Sea is a battlefield that many Immortal Kings opened up for them.

The Void Battlefield of the Boundary Sea is incredibly vast, and it is reinforced by the Great Dao of hundreds of Immortal Kings, making it large enough to accommodate a great battle between Immortal Kings.

Many Immortal Kings sparred and discussed the Dao, and some even developed irreconcilable feuds, with life-or-death battles taking place in the void battlefield of the Boundary Sea.

For example, the Scripture Pavilion contains various secrets recorded by immortal kings, as well as a collection of cultivation systems, scriptures, and secret techniques.

Those cultivation systems include those from this era, as well as those from many previous eras, such as the Ancient Immortal Method, the Secret Realm Method, the Otherworld Method, and various cultivation systems from the era of the Fallen Emperor and earlier.

Those cultivation scriptures cover all realms from mortals to true immortals and immortal kings, and are very complete and comprehensive.

……

By going to these places, he could capture the aura of many immortal kings through the traces left behind, and deduce their strength, as well as some of their methods and trump cards.

In addition, the Immortal Alliance's Scripture Pavilion contains many scriptures and secret techniques collected by Immortal Kings. Among them are many different cultivation systems, and the Dao and principles contained therein will definitely be of great use to him in perfecting his own Dao. It should be able to shorten the time it takes for him to reach the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, or even break through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level.

He will naturally go there when he has free time.
