Chapter 254 Negotiation
After demonstrating the strength possessed by the Nine Cauldrons Sect to the world, the entire sect began to develop rapidly.
With the ace cards of the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique, which represented power, and the improved Spirit Gathering Array, which represented the economy, they swiftly conquered territories in the Cangwu Great World.
To secure the inheritance of the Northern Sea Star ahead of time and gain a decade or two's advantage, numerous sects pledged allegiance to the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
The influence and sway of the Nine Cauldrons Sect in the Cangwu World began to climb steeply.
And it was at this moment...
Some bad news followed closely.
...
"Rumors?"
Alkaid met with Li Qingshan and Zhou Lijian in the Void Divine Realm.
This Vice Hall Master of the External Propaganda Hall said solemnly, "Yes, there are many rumors in the Void Divine Realm that are detrimental to us, especially concerning the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique. These rumors claim that our cultivation technique comes with significant hidden dangers and that those who rush to cultivate our Mysterious Origin Creation Technique will inevitably be unable to advance to higher realms in the future..."
At this point, he quickly added, "Although these claims are baseless, empty vessels make the most sound, and once it spreads widely, it will have a significant negative impact on our plans..."
"It must be the work of the Immortal Alliance and the Limitless Star Palace," Li Hanqiu guessed.
Alkaid continued, "Not only do the Immortal Alliance and the Limitless Star Palace possess three great Dharma Phases, but they also have numerous Heavenly Palace cultivators. They completely dominate the discourse in the Cangwu Great World, and even the Myriad Beasts Sect cannot contend with them."
"Yes, according to our investigations, many of these rumors originated from the Void Divine Realm of the Immortal Alliance and the Limitless Star Palace," Zhou Lijian said.
"I understand," Alkaid responded, his expression showing no sign of urgency. "In fact, when we were planning to announce the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique, we anticipated that the Immortal Alliance and the Limitless Star Palace would counter us. I thought they would come up with some high-level methods, such as presenting some cultivation techniques that are more effective than the Mysterious Origin Creation Technique in the short term, or even cultivating a handful of talents to challenge us publicly, but this is all they have?"
He smiled, "They still think that they fully control the Void Divine Realm and public opinion in today's world."
No sooner had he finished speaking than his powerful Divine Sense penetrated into the Void Divine Realm.
His cultivation of the Divine Refining Technique was the Taiyuan Divine Refining Art, which not only enhanced his Divine Sense but also allowed him to split his Divine Sense with each advancement. When cultivated to its extreme, he would possess 129,600 strands of Divine Sense.
Of course, having more Divine Sense fragments would dilute their individual strength slightly, but for now, it was more than sufficient for tracking down these rumors.
With 129,600 strands of Divine Sense sweeping across the Void Divine Realm, rumors were quickly and accurately pinpointed by him.
Even though those spreading the rumors were quite cautious, when nearly the entire Void Divine Realm was under his tracking, any caution was meaningless before him.
He directly gathered the traced rumors and the locations of those behind them, along with the evidence, and handed them over to Zhou Lijian.
But...
Clearly, that alone was not enough.
Alkaid delved deeper, intentionally searching for some rumors, and soon reached the Void Divine Realms established by Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu, three major Dharma Phases.
After recording these traces, his 129,600 strands of Divine Sense swiftly gathered.
When concentrated to a certain extent, these Divine Senses seemed to coalesce into a sharp dagger, piercing through the Void Divine Realms created by the three Dharma Phases in an instant.
...
At this moment, in these Dharma Phase's Void Divine Realms, several cultivators, believing themselves absolutely safe, were continuously discussing how to sabotage the "Common Path of Cultivating Immortality" plan.
When Alkaid's Divine Sense instantly pierced through the Void Divine Realms, the communication images and Divine Sense information of these people were "seen" by him and recorded one by one.
This happened simultaneously as he pierced through the three Dharma Phases' Void Divine Realms. Feng Ao, Lin Deng, and Luo Fu were jolted awake at the same time.
There were even meddlers like Ye Lisha among them.
"What happened, why did they suddenly start fighting?"
"From the Immortal Alliance's Feng Ao, Limitless Star Palace's Lin Deng, and Luo Fu, why do they seem in such bad shape? Is the Void Divine Realm about to be shattered?"
"I had long heard that Alkaid had dual cultivated Body Refinement and Divine Refinement, and had even cultivated to the Star God and Dharma Phase realms, but... is this kind of overwhelming against three Dharma Phases considered dual cultivation!? He's primarily cultivating Divine Refinement, with Body Refinement and Qi Refinement secondary, right?"
The entire Void Divine Realm suddenly became much livelier.
Countless people gathered at the scene, watching this great battle occurring within the Void Divine Realm.
Thankfully, although there were people like Ye Lisha and Fu Long who enjoyed a lively scene and didn't mind making it bigger, there were also many who tried to mediate.
"True Person Alkaid, let's talk this over calmly, we still have a common enemy in the Moon Demon Empire, right? If we truly fight to death, wouldn't that turn joy to our loved ones and sorrow to our enemies?"
"The Cangwu Great World has been turbulent several times over the years and can no longer withstand top cultivators clashing, True Person Alkaid, please withdraw your Divine Skills."
"Could there be some misunderstanding here? If we from the Immortal Alliance have offended True Person Alkaid, we are willing to make amends."
The Divine Sense of one Golden Core after another continuously transmitted towards Alkaid in the Void Divine Realm.
And further away, above the Nine Heavens, the Golden Cores of the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace were also forced to leave the Golden Core stabilizing formation, heading towards the palace where Li Hanqiu and Alkaid were.
If Alkaid truly wasn't willing to spare Lin Deng, Feng Ao, and Luo Fu in the Void Divine Realm, they could only physically compel him to stop.
Alkaid naturally also understood that the people from the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace wouldn't just watch him kill these three Dharma Phases.
At that point, he slightly withdrew some Power of Divine Sense, no longer bombarding their created Void Divine Realm.
But the formidable Divine Sense still, like a huge net, simultaneously bound their Void Divine Realm, preventing the three Dharma Phases' Divine Senses from extending beyond the Void Divine Realm.
At the same time, the "evidence" he had just obtained in the Void Divine Realm which could prove the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace had been spreading rumors was now brought out: "Everyone please take a look, this isn't me being unreasonable, but your Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace pressing hard with despicable tactics from earlier."
Many people in the crowd didn't need to see these pieces of "evidence" about the rumors.
When rumors were rampant in the outside world, they knew it must have been done by the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace.
But it's one thing for the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace to do it, and another to be caught red-handed...
The crowd looked at what seemed to be a Void Divine Realm that had been shattered like decayed wood...
It seemed they couldn't blame the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace's Dharma Phases for not being meticulous.
It truly was...
The gap was too big.
At the moment, with Alkaid holding the "evidence" and having the moral high ground, and essentially having captured Lin Deng, Feng Ao, and Luo Fu, the situation was naturally different.
Immediately, Lu Xi from the Immortal Alliance burst forth in thunderous anger, "There's such a thing!? The 'Cultivation Path Community' promoted by the Nine Cauldrons Sect is meant to be beneficial to the world, but I didn't expect that there are rumors being spread among our Immortal Alliance members! True Person Alkaid, we will surely give you an explanation!"
"I've seen the evidence provided by True Person Alkaid, this was done by the Vice Hall Master of the Heavenly Palace Hall and the Hall Master of the External Propaganda Hall from our Limitless Star Palace, we were unaware. Please rest assured, True Person Alkaid, we will definitely discipline them heavily, we won't allow them to recklessly spread rumors in the Void Divine Realm anymore."
Qiao Zhi also expressed his stance.
At this moment, he deeply realized what it meant to have a situation more powerful than people.
In the past, it had always been their Limitless Star Palace and Immortal Alliance using their power to oppress others.
But today, it had turned into Alkaid using the power of Dharma Phase to press down on them from the Immortal Alliance and Limitless Star Palace.
