Shangyuque

Chapter 266 The Jade-skinned Dog, it seems, had been bewitched by Wang Yulou; its eyes even seemed to glow.
The grotto connects to the vast天地 (heaven and earth), I swear I will never be a junior!

What little bro?

The little brother was kicked to death, unable to even put up a fight.

You can laugh at the Unicorn Dragon for losing all the way down, losing until it hysterically breaks down.

But after all, they weren't really dead yet. Drip Water hid in the cave for so long, waiting for the chance to return to the world.

When the unicorn dragon connected its cave to the greater world, it had no way out, but at least it wouldn't immediately become a price to pay.

They either get killed by the Rakshasa and the bastards of the Immortal Alliance right now, or they drag themselves out their lives and wait for an opportunity. There's no bad choice; Golden Core Immortal Venerables don't lack the courage to make decisions.

The only ones who suffered were the unlucky ones caught in the whirlwind of the unicorn dragon. Xu Zhongyu, Jian Daxing, Qin Haizhu, no matter what their background or cultivation level was, under the aftershocks of the Golden Core Immortal Venerable's cave returning to heaven and earth, they were just like a roadside creature, and if they were touched, they would die.

The entrance to the grotto in the sky was slightly blurred, and the mournful cry of the One-Horned Flood Dragon Demon God still echoed, spreading like thunder in all directions.

All the cultivators from different forces who rushed into the depths of the Immortal Extinction Domain were shocked.

After the Demon Emperor Rakshasa of the Immortal Realm brutally slammed down a mysterious demon god, following Xiao Hu, another Golden Core cultivator in the Great World is now in crisis. Could this be the prelude to a mass production of Golden Core cultivators?

Those at the bottom of the ranks of the calamity didn't know the answer; all they could do was wait for notification and fill in the blanks.

After the Unicorn Dragon's cave heaven connected with the greater world, Rakshasa, clad in black armor, led twelve Golden Core cultivators from the Immortal Extinction Domain out of the Unicorn Dragon's cave heaven immediately.

The former Demon Emperor of the Immortal Extinction Domain was somewhat unstable in his aura.

Just now, in the cave of the unicorn dragon, it went to great lengths to prevent too many of the golden cores it brought to the Immortal Alliance from dying.

However, one unlucky demon god still became a ghost in the Unicorn Dragon Cave.

Furthermore, the resources it brought with it after its fall greatly enriched the foundation of the Unicorn Cave Heaven.

"Next one, it's already a skeleton in a grave. Let's not rush in and deliver its final blow. Let's grind it down slowly!"

Rakshasa gave a fierce order, and the immortals followed it again into the void.

Keep fighting, keep conquering the next stronghold.

If they want to gain a foothold in the Immortal Alliance, they need to demonstrate their value.

Even from a more cynical perspective, the three demon gods of the Immortal Extinction Domain who had already died actually cleared further obstacles for them to join the Immortal Alliance.
The battlefield belongs to the Immortal Venerables and has little to do with Wang Yulou. Furthermore, the formation of the fourth faction of the Immortal Alliance cannot be rushed.

Rushing into things will inevitably affect rational decision-making, giving competitors, both internal and external, an opportunity to seize, making price negotiations difficult.

Therefore, Xiao Wang's current focus is on the continued mobilization of the cultivators at the front lines.

In order to encourage the cultivators of the Immortal Alliance to participate more actively in the war to destroy the Immortal Realm and not waste the opportunity he had won for them on the Immortal Assembly Platform, Wang Yulou made a very generous promise.

The opportunity to obtain a second-class Purple Mansion is very tempting for mobilizing Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators to the front lines, but the front lines need more than just Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators, and the number of Foundation Establishment Peak cultivators that the Immortal Alliance has retained over the long term is not really as numerous as cabbages.

Therefore, cultivators in the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment also need to be mobilized, which can be regarded as preparing reserve forces and building echelons of different cultivation levels.

Even Qi Refining King Yulou didn't mind. They might not become the mainstay of the battlefield immediately, but as long as they could survive in the high-intensity battlefield for a long time, they would all become the new pillars of the Immortal Alliance in the future.

In order to ensure a successful mobilization, Wang Yulou once again urged the cultivators of the Jade Palace in the six states.

Shi Guozhou, Wang Yaohai personally visited Shenwei Mansion.

The Immortal Alliance's mobilization efforts met with a rebuff at the Divine Might Mansion, the former employer of True Immortal Red Bean.

"The war against the Immortal Extinction Domain is a matter between the Chongxian Prefecture and the Immortal Extinction Domain. Our Shiguo Prefecture is so far from the front line. If the disciples of Shenwei Mansion go there, they will definitely be bullied."

Fellow Daoist Yaohai, they are afraid. They are afraid that our Divine Might Palace, by selflessly sending out a large number of people for the Immortal Alliance, will only receive magical earrings for the ears of a few frontline leaders.

"There are quite a few people in the sect who think this way. It has happened before that disciples of the Divine Might Mansion have made meritorious contributions in battle, only to have them intercepted and deducted by a few individuals." The Lord of the Divine Might Mansion said helplessly, looking like he had a headache.

That's utter nonsense. The Immortal Alliance has always been like this, and it's not just the disciples of the Divine Might Mansion who have their battle merits deducted.

The lowly beasts on the front lines oppressed the cultivators from the six states equally, with perhaps only a few disciples from the sects of the Immortal City and the major sects of Chongxian State receiving better treatment.

Under these circumstances, it is clearly problematic that the Divine Might Palace is unwilling to strongly support the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's counterattack.

Of course, the core of this problem is not that Shenwei Mansion is dissatisfied with the Immortal Alliance or does not support Wang Yuque—the Mansion Master's complaints are not the substance, but the means.

Wang Yaohai understood his meaning and immediately smiled and spoke.

“Fellow Daoist, the Immortal Venerable is currently on the front lines. We are all on the same side. The cultivators of the Divine Might Palace are on the front lines and will naturally not be wronged.”

The significance of Wang Yulou building his own private power outside the Immortal Alliance system is now revealed.

Many cultivators in the Immortal Alliance live off the Immortal Alliance, and their loyalty is primarily to the Immortal Alliance or their own forces. The forces behind them are also capable of producing cultivators with Purple Mansion and Golden Core levels.

This contradiction is similar to the contradiction between local forces and the ruling center.

Once Wang Yulou's decree of conscription is issued, local forces will inevitably engage in a situation of outwardly complying but inwardly disobeying it.

The purposes are complex, and different people have different expectations, but in form, they always outwardly comply while inwardly opposing.

Forced conscription is not feasible at the moment; it is a last-stage measure. We should avoid using it if possible, similar to having strategic resolve and not playing all our cards at the beginning.

The cards here have two dimensions: the cards that can be manipulated within the framework of the Immortal Alliance, and the cards that Wang Yuque, as the governing leader, can use.

He needs to balance the interests of the Immortal Alliance and his own.
However, if sects and immortal cities in various regions secretly resist Wang Yuque's summons decree, it will profoundly affect the conversion rate of the Immortal Alliance's reform potential into war potential, thereby jeopardizing the 'correctness' of the Immortal Alliance's reforms—which would shake the foundation of Wang Yulou's position in the Immortal Alliance.

In this situation, whether or not Jade Palace cultivators are involved in supervision and urge local forces to mobilize their disciples makes a world of difference.

"Yes, that's what I think too."

However, the elders inside the sect always say that True Person Red Bean and Immortal Venerable are very close, and that Divine Might Mansion is practically Immortal Venerable's maternal home.

In this situation, shouldn't we give them some preferential treatment?
Isn't that absurd? They really dare to think of such things!

Fellow Daoist Ke Yaohai, I, as the lord of this manor, have little power and can only barely maintain this position.

Alas, I am ashamed, ashamed! I have no face to face the True Man, the Immortal Venerable, and the Patriarch!

The Lord of Shenwei Prefecture is a real old scoundrel. He said all sorts of good and bad things, trying to absolve himself of all responsibility.

Finally, they vaguely revealed the conditions—we need to eat more!

It was outrageous, but Wang Yaohai really didn't dare to refuse, because many things are hard to explain.

Your position as King Yuque is secure because of the support of the Divine Might Palace's Patriarch, Immortal Venerable Quanfa. Now, isn't it time to repay that favor?
If the Jade Palace cultivators who came to Shenwei Mansion to supervise the mobilization refused the demands of the Quanfa Sect, would it affect Quanfa Immortal Venerable's support for Jade Palace Immortal Venerable?
This demonstrates Wang Yulou's brilliance in deliberately sending Wang Yaohai to Shenwei Prefecture.

The presence of General Yu in person is certainly different from the arrival of Junior General Yu.

Many things are beyond the authority of ordinary Jade Palace cultivators to decide, but Wang Yaohai, as a renowned Jade General, is capable of making the final decision.

Note that this is not Wang Yulou, a scoundrel, who is unwilling to solve the problem himself and insists on sending a subordinate to handle it.

Instead, as Wang Yulou's status rose and the world changed, the trivial matters he faced went from being "a few" to being "everywhere".

Of course, the situation isn't that critical.

The price set by the Lord of Shenwei Prefecture is a case in point; he set a price, but didn't give a definitive answer.

In the tug-of-war between Quanfa and Yuque, Wang Yaohai is a buffer, as is the "elder within the sect" mentioned by the Palace Master, and the long-standing ambiguous distribution of interests within the Immortal Alliance is also a buffer—the insects on the front lines are not a matter of a day or two, but a long-standing set of rules.

This game of mutual collisions, yet with tacit buffering, seems somewhat slow in form.

But at least it's stable enough; slow and steady is better than fast but always crashing.

The flowing water doesn't compete to be first; it competes to flow endlessly.

"Lord of the Prefecture, the Immortal Venerable's heart is filled with the myriad cultivators of the six states. I admire True Person Red Bean and I look up to Immortal Venerable Quanfa."

But now that the war has progressed this far, it's no longer a matter of the Celestial Venerable begging you to send people; it's that you must send people.

The Divine Might Palace should be providing even stronger support, shouldn't it?

The two sides exchanged opinions thoroughly, but Wang Yaohai refused to agree to anything and even turned around and accused Shenwei Mansion.

"Fellow Daoist Yaohai, the people we sent were completely fooled by those Jade Palace cultivators from the Divine Might Mansion that you sent before, along with some Jade Palace cultivators on the front line of the anti-demon campaign in Chongxian Prefecture."

"Brother Yaohai is the Palace Master of the Western Palace. The Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has ordered you to supervise the cultivators of the Jade Palace. Surely you can't be unaware of this?"

It's coercion, but not just simple coercion; it's more of an act of putting leverage over someone.

Wang Yaohai was stunned for a moment, then finally realized that the Divine Might Palace's All-Law Immortal Venerable had not spoken on this matter at all.
It is highly likely that Jade Palace Immortal Venerable has gradually gained a foothold in the Immortal Alliance, and All Law Immortal Venerable intends to test him, but has not given clear boundaries or behavioral guidance.

Otherwise, the Lord of Shenwei Prefecture wouldn't use the Jade Palace cultivators' excessive eating, taking advantage of others, cheating and swindling as a 'threat'.

The Immortal Venerable didn't care. The Lord of the Divine Might Palace couldn't see the Immortal Venerable Quanfa and couldn't understand the aura that belonged to an Immortal Venerable.

But Wang Yaohai had served Wang Yuque for a long time, so he naturally understood the indifference and ruthlessness, rationality and perseverance in the hearts of those great cultivators.

Sending Jade Palace cultivators to different immortal cities and sects in the six states to supervise and mobilize local forces will naturally give Jade Palace cultivators a great opportunity to make a fortune.

Furthermore, in the eyes of some forces that began to bare their fangs at Wang Yulou after the changing times, attacking Wang Yulou by holding the Jade Palace cultivators' weaknesses is like holding Wang Yulou's balls in their hands.

However, for Wang Yulou, these were all trivial matters.

As long as the core objective can be advanced, even if it's only halfway, and a large number of Jade Palace cultivators are taken away as a price, it's still worthwhile.

Achieving the core objective is the key.

The pursuit of absolute innocence within governing bodies seems like a fantasy.

The higher a cultivator's cultivation level, the less human they become, but a low cultivation level is useless. Wang Yulou uses only those who are ambitious and want to improve, so there will inevitably be a bunch of greedy fools among them.

It's all normal. They can just be recruited again after they die. The Immortal Alliance has tens of millions of cultivators, and there will never be a shortage of people who want to do things.

"Very well, so this is the Lord's concern. Then I will deal with them immediately and give you and all the fellow Daoists of the Divine Might Mansion an explanation!"

General Yu Yaohai opened his mouth with a smile, but what he said was just another story about the end of a bunch of unlucky people.

The head of Shenwei Prefecture opened his mouth, but ultimately did not continue to ask for a higher price.

What more could he want? It's meaningless. The benefits were minimal anyway, and he didn't need to go to the front lines.

The so-called cultivators, who blindly cultivate, even if they enter a major sect, will be pushed to the front lines and become part of the price in special times.

Those who are clever enough can enter the Jade Palace and keep up with the times, but under the cruel rules of the cultivation world, once they make a mistake, they will die and their cultivation will be extinguished.

There are many paths, but Wang Yulou chose the one that was most resilient from the start.

We've overcome many difficulties and obstacles, experienced much luck and many thrills, and now it's time to reap the rewards.

Now, even one of his top generals has the qualifications to try and stir up trouble.

Certainly, this was partly due to the special era in which the Golden Core Immortal Venerables of the Immortal Alliance delegated authority on a large scale.

The power of the lower-level cultivators was elevated and held on their behalf by the governing leader, Wang Yuque. The resonance between Wang Yuque's governing power and the value of the lower-level cultivators held on his behalf shaped his current base of support.

This foundation is not very solid, it is fragile and special, but at least for now, Wang Yulou is still winning.

Moreover, he has already begun to diversify his current base, consolidating his position in the Immortal Alliance and the Great World through multifaceted foundation building.

However, this process involves too many immortals, both inside and outside the immortal alliance, with different backgrounds and strengths. Wang Yulou can't decide much about the balance of interests involved.

The immortals involved each had their own interests and principles, and some even had conflicts, such as the relationship between Donglai, the Bull Demon King, and the Rakshasa Demon Emperor.
It is destined to be a long process, but in the end it is moving forward, and every step is a step forward.

Participating in the power struggles at the Golden Core Immortal Venerable level is itself part of the reward. Wang Yulou doesn't mind earning more, and he doesn't mind losing less.
-
The distribution of the five demons and the profits among the top powers have been determined, along with 280,000 strands of the essence of the grotto heaven.

Under such circumstances, what chance would the Immortal Extinction Domain have to resist?

It can be said that recently, the Immortal Alliance has been winning victories in destroying the Immortal Realm, moving from one victory to another.

During this process, the most suffering people were not only the unlucky demon gods and demon emperors who lost the competition to sell the Immortal Realm, but also the wild elephant far away in the Immortal Kingdom.

Wang Yulou's success seemed particularly glaring to Mang Xiang.

A lowly cultivator, by sheer chance, seized the ecological niche from the monstrous elephant and even forced it to betray the alliance in order to win.

It can be said that in the past, it was the raging elephant that blocked Wang Yulou's path and suppressed Xiao Wang, preventing him from having a smooth life—note that Xiao Wang's victory was inseparable from his own wisdom and perseverance.

Those who cannot let gratitude cloud their judgment and regard that old scoundrel Mang Xiang as some benevolent ancestor who treated Xiao Wang unfairly are truly straying from the truth.

But now the situation has changed, and it has become Xiao Wang's way of hindering Mang Xiang.

They obstructed the Immortal Alliance and hindered the war to destroy the Immortal Realm.

As someone who betrayed the Immortal Alliance, Mang Xiang was theoretically considered an enemy by the Alliance's great cultivators.

However, he still maintained contact with many cultivators in the Immortal Alliance and naturally learned of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's decree passed down by Du Jiunian—'Touch each other'.

Wang Yulou's "touch" refers to obstructing Mangxiang's cultivation of the Great Dao.

If Wang Yulou really gets the Five Horses Dividing Demons plan going in the Immortal Extinction Realm, then the bet between the Bo Luo Society and Bi Fang will really have to be postponed (which will be beneficial for the future celestial beings to move closer to Wang Yulou's plan).

In that case, the grand transformation of the universe would become water without a source.

So how could I not hate it?

Within the Immortal King's cave, Mang Xiang, like a complaining young wife, reported that Wang Yuque intended to instigate a war between the forces of the Great Heaven and Earth.

"Your Majesty, I have received information from the Immortal Alliance that if things escalate to a full-blown conflict, your bet with the Boluo Society will be affected."

Ghost-Faced Immortal Venerable sneered and mocked.

"Mangxiang, pour the water out of your head before you speak. Do you think the immortals at the Bamboo Basket Gathering can't think of what you can think of?"

Why didn't the Water Venerable and others from the Immortal Alliance stop Wang Yulou?

Are they stupid?

Who's afraid of Bifang?
The people at the Bamboo Basket Gathering are most afraid of Bi Fang because they are strong enough to clearly understand how powerful and terrifying Bi Fang is.

Wang Yuque's mere sparring was just for fun, but a clash between the major powers would align with everyone's expectations. A fight was inevitable; they couldn't hold back forever. Testing the waters first wouldn't cause any major problems.

The results are in, winning is good, and adjusting for small losses is fine.

As for losing, that's impossible.

The cultivators within the various factions may be greedy, but they are definitely not stupid.

No matter which sect a cultivator belongs to, it's impossible for them to suffer a major loss on the battlefield. They're all at the Foundation Establishment stage, so who's afraid of whom?

"They are not stupid, but when it comes to understanding the Immortal Alliance, Fellow Daoist Ghost Face, I am probably indeed better than you."

Shui Zun and Cang Shan had no reason to stop them, and Qing Rui could no longer do so.

As for Bi Fang's matter, the old man with the winnowing basket will take the blame.

In the Immortal Alliance, Water Venerable and Cangshan are in a stable position, while Qingrui is in a mess.

In order to participate in the distribution of the spoils from the collapse of the Immortal Extinction Domain, Qingrui even ended her cave-heaven transformation period.

In this situation, Qingrui, who has already made enough moves, obviously needs a long period of time to digest what she has won.

Qingrui Immortal Venerable didn't really lose much; she considered the risks before making her move.

Now that the Immortal Extinction Domain is finished, the bet between the Winnowing Basket Society and Bifang is drawing closer. Dripping Water has led a group of demon gods from the Immortal Extinction Domain into the Immortal Alliance, and Qingrui has won big.

Even from Bi Fang's perspective of supporting the reforms that would eliminate eight or nine out of ten people in the Mangxiang Great Heaven and Earth Society, Bi Fang still hoped that he and the Boluo Society would reach a decision on joint reforms as soon as possible.

From this perspective, the alliance between Qingrui and Bifang has also achieved a win-win situation.

Despite her disheveled appearance, she ended up eating her fill, her mouth greasy with oil.

You can't just say that Immortal Venerable Qingrui is just a random person on the roadside because she got a score of 90.

Yes, many top-tier immortals haven't even handed in their papers yet, or even picked up their pens to answer the questions that are relevant to this chaotic era, but Qingrui's score of ninety is definitely not low.

"Alright, it's a small matter. Let them do whatever they want."

Hey, stop running around like that. Nobody will respect you. Understand?
Instead of trying to win over other factions, we should focus on honing our cultivation and healing our injuries.

Bi Fang was mocking Mang Xiang, but actually, it wasn't that Bi Fang was bad, that it liked to tease and humiliate Mang Xiang.

The Celestial King may be a scoundrel, but he's not as tasteless as some people might think.
Mang Xiang, that old bastard, lost quite a bit. He lost all his basic strength, became half a person, and almost fell into the Golden Core realm, so he was a bit anxious.

The Immortal King's desire for reform is genuine, but Mangxiang is jumping around between different forces in the world, discussing the details of reform with the corresponding people, making it seem as if Bifang desperately needs reform.

This is a good thing, a good thing for Bifang, hence the diversionary tactic.

But the elephant has already run a lap. If it continues to struggle, it will ruin the current, albeit well-prepared, deception due to excessive effort.

"Your Majesty, Mangxiang obeys the decree!"
-
Send the imperial edict, send the imperial edict, send the imperial edict.

Xiao Wang was not an emperor, but his status in the common sense was far higher than that of so-called ordinary emperors.

After all, the predicament he faced was an unquantifiable terror.

He was able to carry on under such pressure and with the losses of failure, and with each step he took, he gained tremendous rewards.

His subordinate, General Wang Yaohai, was able to rival the sect leader of a major sect. The cultivators who delivered the imperial edicts under his command were all carefully selected, peak Foundation Establishment cultivators who were proficient in escape techniques.

The messenger, carrying the decree of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable, rushed back to the Immortal City from Chongxian Prefecture and delivered the decree to Cui Baihao.

'In the event of a major battle or counterattack, if unforeseen circumstances arise, preparations should be made in advance to respond to them.'

When you were appointed to oversee all matters related to the ambassadorial missions and neighboring embassies, it was partly to give you an opportunity to hone your skills and experience, and partly because the matter was so crucial.

The embassy and neighboring embassies currently house only seven powerful entities. Contacting the remaining entities to send envoys is of paramount importance and must be addressed urgently!

He casually crushed the Immortal Venerable's decree, and a hint of anticipation appeared on Cui Baihao's calm face.

In chaotic times, the most mindless cultivators crave victory through war, with the Immortal Venerables devouring the powerful while they themselves consume the lesser ones.

The higher the level of a cultivator, the clearer they can see that war is always the result, not the means.

Can you achieve long-term and consistent success by gambling on wins and losses?
unable.

In Cui Baihao's view, the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's choice to use the Ambassador's Friendship Pavilion as a fulcrum to leverage the overall situation of the world has the potential to achieve great results with minimal effort.

Considering the irreconcilable interests of the immortals, the likelihood of this possibility is debatable, but its potential is already enough to excite Cui Baihao.

Internal strife is not a shameful thing. It is the cultivators who cannot participate in internal strife and do not even have the qualifications to enter the game that are somewhat pitiful.

However, after the collapse of the Immortal Extinction Domain, only eight of the nine top-tier forces remained. If we include the three second-tier forces, there are only ten forces outside of the Immortal Alliance.

The remaining three forces that did not send envoys to the Immortal Alliance are all quite difficult to deal with.

They are either far away, isolated, or unwilling to participate.

Of course, Cui Bai was not afraid of difficulties. If he did not shoulder enough responsibility, how could he secure his position as the number one person in the Jade Palace Sect?
Thinking of this, Cui Baihao spoke firmly and gave instructions to the cultivator who was delivering the decree.

"Report this to the Immortal Venerable for me: even if Bai Hao dies, he will get this matter settled for him!"

As he spoke, he reached out and stuffed thirty high-grade spirit stones into his hand, which was three thousand spirit stones in total.

It was neither too much nor too little, matching his current status. He was merely a messenger cultivator, so there was no need to give him more.

"I humbly request that you convey my complete loyalty to the Immortal Venerable."

However, the cultivator who delivered the decree dared not accept Cui Baihao's gift and responded in fear.

"Palace Master Cui, you flatter me too much. It is my honor to deliver this message to you and the Immortal Venerable."

As a newly appointed Quasi-Immortal Venerable of the Immortal Alliance, Wang Yulou is like the sun at eight or nine in the morning.

The Jade Palace Sect was also teeming with life.

According to the street urchins of the Immortal Alliance, Jade Dog had somehow been bewitched by Wang Yulou, and his eyes were now shining.

No one would refuse a better future.

As long as he continues to win, the 'potential energy' within the Jade Palace Sect will be a crucial support for him to continue on his path.
-
As the largest 'Jade Skin Dog', Wang Yuque's younger brother Yu'an's eyes were filled with only bone-chilling coldness.

He hasn't opened his Purple Mansion yet, but that doesn't stop people from calling him the Jade Peace True Man.

Under the organization of True Man Yu'an, the frontline cultivators of the Immortal Alliance who had launched a counterattack into the Immortal Extinction Domain were organized into a rudimentary defensive line.

Who are we guarding against?

The Alliance of the Four Seas!
Against the backdrop of the Five Horses Dividing the Demon Realm, the forces surrounding the five Immortal Extinction Domains launched a fierce attack on the Immortal Extinction Domains, starting from the borders between their respective forces and the Immortal Extinction Domains.

Those who clashed with the Immortal Alliance included the Four Seas Alliance, the Holy Land, and the Wutian Sect.

The Holy Land and the Immortal Alliance are old acquaintances, and have had their share of friction in the past, so they respect each other very much.

Because of the unique nature of its cultivators, the Wutian Sect is often composed of those who are intelligent but not particularly clever, who are able to achieve something within its ranks.

Simply put, the Xinwutian Cult is a bunch of idiots who, at most, are only capable of recklessly charging forward.

As the first force to implement reforms, the average combat skill of the Immortal Alliance cultivators has already been honed within the Immortal Alliance and is not low compared to other forces.

Therefore, the Wutian Sect is not a big problem. The Immortal Alliance can withstand it, and the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable is constantly conscripting cultivators to advance to the front lines.

The only unexpected thing was that the Four Seas Alliance, as a second-tier power, was a bit too confident because of the power of Zhizhi Dragon God—enough to instantly kill a Celestial Venerable like Xiaohu—and actually dared to take the initiative to confront the Celestial Alliance.

The point of contact was the entrance to the Unicorn Dragon Cave Heaven, which was within Yu An's sight.

The demon god has been lying dormant in the cave, with only one strike remaining.

Within this blessed land-level grotto-heaven, there also fell demon gods from the Immortal Extinction Domain who had joined the Rakshasa Demon Emperor's fierce attack.

Under such circumstances, the resources within it are naturally much higher than those of an ordinary Golden Core Immortal Venerable's blessed land.

Thus, the cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance and the Immortal Alliance began to fight over the Unicorn Dragon Cave.

After several fierce battles, the Immortal Alliance failed to gain any advantage.

This directly alarmed Wang Yu'an, who was on the front lines of the war. Normally, given his position, he wouldn't be required to go to the front lines.

However, if Wang Yulou wanted to give him a chance to open his Purple Mansion within the current window of opportunity, he could only risk letting Wang Yu'an rush forward with the cultivators from the Immortal Alliance.

Because none of the core members of those immortal alliances rushed to the front line, the Four Seas Alliance, an immortal alliance within the Immortal Extinction Domain, faced off against each other at the front line, and Jade An 'True Man' became the tallest person on the immortal alliance's side.

"Master, what should we do? Should we continue to wait for reinforcements?" asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator from Lixian Immortal City in Chongxian Prefecture.

His robes were half-torn, and a small section of his left leg was missing. His cultivation level had also become somewhat unstable, declining slightly from the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage.

He did not gain the upper hand in the fierce battle with the cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance.

"We can't delay. Look, on the mountain to the east, the Four Seas Alliance is setting up an array."

There are about four hundred of us, and they only have a little over four hundred of them, so there's nothing to be afraid of.

We must quickly break their makeshift formation! We absolutely cannot allow them to set up their permanent formation!

Immortal Alliance cultivators, follow me and charge!

Running alongside me and charging forward are two different things.

Didn't Wang Yu'an know that rushing in might result in his death?

This is war. The Four Seas Alliance doesn't care if he's Wang Yuque's brother; he's still going to die.

However, since they had already reached the front line, the Immortal Alliance cultivators had already fallen into a disadvantageous position or suffered defeats in many rounds during their fierce battle with the Four Seas Alliance cultivators.

If Wang Yu'an continues to hide in the background, today's clash will truly be a loss for the Immortal Alliance.

However, the great counterattack involves the decree of the Jade Palace Immortal Venerable. The great counterattack is not only a great counterattack, but also involves Wang Yu'an's own brother!

Therefore, even if you're afraid, you should still charge forward, and take the initiative to lead the charge.

Wang Yu'an's resolute charge greatly displeased many Immortal Alliance cultivators who wanted to avoid the Four Seas Alliance's tough stance.

However, if even the leader's own brother participated, who would dare not participate?
Led by Wang Yu'an, even Yi Zouri followed the main force and rushed towards the mountain occupied by the Four Seas Alliance cultivators.

This was Yu'an's first time charging into battle on the front lines, and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest like a drum.

Tension, fear, and unease finally culminated in a roar.

"For the Immortal Alliance!"

Was the reform actually effective?

Everyone thought it was useful, but at this moment, when Wang Yu'an, in the name of the Immortal Alliance, made a temporary mobilization on the front line of the war, the significance of the reform was once again made concrete.

Initially, it was the early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators who, under the Jade Palace Reform, had the opportunity to establish their foundation but had no better prospects and were forced to go to the battlefield. They followed Wang Yu'an and shouted "For the Immortal Alliance!"

Those at the peak of Foundation Establishment and senior Foundation Establishment cultivators are all seasoned veterans. They know that the Immortal Alliance does not belong to them, but to the Immortal Venerables on the Immortal Platform. Therefore, they will not follow Wang Yu'an in shouting.

Cosmetic slogans can indeed have an inspiring effect.

Gradually, more and more cultivators joined the ranks of those chanting "For the Immortal Alliance".

Clearly, the reforms were effective. Empowering the lower-level calamities could significantly increase their recognition of the Immortal Alliance, thereby stimulating their war potential and inspiring their willingness to dedicate themselves and contribute to the Immortal Alliance.

The cultivators of the Immortal Alliance, with their imposing momentum and shouting passionate slogans, flew towards the cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance. From the ground, they appeared densely packed together, like a red-hot iron, seemingly capable of easily burning through the Four Seas Alliance cultivators' defenses.

However, the cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance were not to be trifled with. They raised their hands, activating various talismans and precious charms, which collided violently with the branding iron.

The brawl began. Wang Yu'an had protection, so he was not in any danger and even retreated while fighting.

You've already led the charge; you can't expect Jade Palace Immortal Venerable's own brother to become just another number in the casualty statistics along with you lowly ashes, can you?

You might say Wang Yu'an was acting, but at least he really went for it, at least he was willing to act. Compared to those old scoundrels who wouldn't even act, Wang Yu'an could even be called 'lovable'.

Just as Yu'an retreated to the edge of the chaotic battle, a gray-white dragon suddenly used its cloud-walking and fog-moving supernatural powers to attack from the side.

The power of moving through clouds and mist caused his body to be enveloped in white mist, which, upon closer inspection, was actually composed of countless tiny air bubbles.

This is the Great Demon Swallowing Dragon of the Four Seas Alliance, at the peak of the Great Demon Realm, possessing supernatural powers, and its strength is similar to that of Li Haikuo before he opened his Purple Mansion.

Clouds follow the dragon, clouds follow the dragon.

The reason why Tianlong Hall is so special, and why the Five Dragons Gang of the Immortal Alliance and the Zhizhi Dragon God of the Four Seas Alliance are so powerful, is that the lower limit of the strength of dragon cultivators and demon beasts is indeed high.

Suddenly, the Swallowing Foam Dragon appeared and unleashed its signature divine power, "Foam Sea Steaming".

Countless tiny white bubbles, like dying flowers, bloomed in the heart of the chaotic battle.

Its effect lies not in offensive power, but in locking down the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and disrupting the spiritual mechanism of heaven and earth.

It is an auxiliary supernatural power, but it is regional. Its final effect is to interfere with the cultivator's use of spells, secret techniques, and supernatural powers.

The supernatural powers of a top-tier demon are not something that every Foundation Establishment cultivator in the Immortal Alliance can react to.

Apart from a small group of quick-reacting individuals who escaped unscathed, all 340+ Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Immortal Alliance were instantly reduced to mere figures in the battle report.
Watching helplessly as the Immortal Alliance cultivators were annihilated by the Great Demons and cultivators of the Four Seas Alliance, Wang Yu'an was momentarily dazed.

The eldest brother's all-out counterattack and clashes seem to have ended in defeat.
Wang Yu'an couldn't understand how he had lost.

Wasn't the Immortal Alliance's reform a success?

Back then, to prevent falling behind in the civil war, didn't all the major forces in the Immortal Alliance train a round of troops?
Wang Yulou did everything he could.

However, there may still be uncontrollable accidents that happen from time to time, dealing a heavy blow to Wang Yulou.

Perhaps, this is also part of spiritual practice?
