“A while ago, the Corpse Refiners sent me a message. If everything goes according to plan, they should be able to reach Blue Planet in about five years.
“I thought that the Corpse Refiners could indeed increase the security on Blue Planet.
“But the opponent is the Beast Taming Corps. It wouldn’t do if we only had one ally, the Corpse Refinement Faction,” said Qin Chuan.
“So what you’re saying is that you want to pull in a few more factions!” Dan Yangzi exclaimed, instantly figuring out Qin Chuan’s plan.
Qin Chuan nodded. “Look at the number of factions in the immortal realms. If I could rope in a few more to form an alliance, the Beast Taming Corps would probably think twice before attacking us. In that case, the crisis on the Blue planet might just be resolved.”
Dan Yangzi mused, “Based on my understanding of the Beast Taming Corps, you wouldn’t be able to intimidate them if you don’t have a few first-tier factions as allies.”
Qin Chuan smiled dismissively and said, “Then let’s pull in a few first-tier factions!”
“You make it sound so simple. Do you think it’s that easy?” said Dan Yangzi. “If you manage to bring just one of them in, I’ll gobble up all these books.”
Qin Chuan smiled wryly. “Very well, keep your word.
“In less than a hundred years, I believe I will certainly be able to bring in a first-tier faction as our ally.”
Dan Yangzi didn’t take his words seriously. “A hundred years! What arrogant words. I’ll be waiting for your good news!”
“By the way, let me remind you that the Beast Taming Corps won’t give you that much time.”
‘As soonas he finished speaking, Qin Chuan slapped his thigh. “F*ck, I forgot about that. Seems like I have to bring everything forward. A hundred years is too long. I’ll aim to achieve it within ten years!”
Dan Yangzi laughed so hard his stomach cramped.
“But, almost 20 years have pa.s.sed! Why hasn’t the Beast Taming Corps made any moves?” asked Dan Yangzi curiously.
Qin Chuan continued, “Based on the intel from the few Giant doppelgangers, it seems like the Beast Taming Corps has encountered some trouble, and the headquarters have deployed many members over.
“That’s why they haven’t attacked Blue Planet yet.”
Dan Yangzi sat up straight, frowning with a slightly grim expression. “It’s no ordinary matter that the Beast Taming Corps would go to such lengths for.
“From the looks of it, Blue Planet should be safe for a long time to come.”
Qin Chuan shook his head. “You can’t think that way. If we just focus on the Beast Taming Corps’ movements, we will be in a pa.s.sive position.
“must grasp everything that can make the Blue Planet stronger.
“In the short term, the only way to resolve this crisis is to bring in a more powerful faction.”
“Alright then! Due to certain reasons, I don’t think I can do anything.
“Otherwise, given my reputation as Alchemy Saint, I can easily rope in many factions for you, “said Dan Yangzi proudly.
He wasn’t bragging. His t.i.tle of an Alchemy Saint did indeed have this effect.
In the Immortal realm’s alchemy compet.i.tions, only the champion would get the honorary t.i.tle of Alchemy Saint.
The alchemy compet.i.tion gathered all the highly skilled alchemists in the Immortal Realm.
Alchemists enjoyed a high status in the cultivation world.
If he had gotten the t.i.tle of Alchemy Saint, he would definitely be the best at alchemy, and all the factions would definitely try their best to rope him in.
If Dan Yangzi spoke up, a large number of factions would definitely respond.
Therefore, even though Dan Yangzi often bickered with Qin Chuan, he indeed had true talent and knowledge.
Qin Chuan knew what Dan Yangzi was capable of, but given his current situation, he couldn’t give any help.
“Old Dan! I know you are capable, but that is all in the past.
“Let’s not dwell on the past and focus on the present. Let’s be down-to-earth and stop boasting!” said Qin Chuan earnestly.
Dan Yangzi was instantly displeased.
“Hmph! It’s only a matter of time before you start begging me.”
With that, he dashed out the door and returned to his own room.
Watching Dan Yangzi leave, Qin Chuan shook his head and smiled.
At night, the starry sky was resplendent, and the billions of stars were like colorful gems.
“Elder Nangong!” Qin Chuan bowed to Nangong Feng.
He was cultivating when he heard knocking on the door. Using his divine consciousness, he realized that it was Nangong Feng. This came as a surprise to him.
“Elder Nangong, may I know why you have come to me in the middle of the night?” asked Qin Chuan respectfully.
Nangong Feng tured around. “Follow me.”
“Yes!” There was no reason for Qin Chuan to turn him down. After all, he was an expert in the Grand Unity Golden Immortal realm. Even if he used the Main Body Experience Card, he wouldn’t be a match for Nangong Feng.
Qin Chuan followed behind Nangong Feng quietly. Neither of them spoke on the way.
Before long, Nangong Feng led Qin Chuan to an underground palace.
The underground palace was huge, and the pa.s.sageways within were intricate and complex. On top of that, it isolated one’s divine consciousness. Without someone familiar leading the way, one would surely get lost here.
After pa.s.sing several dozen pa.s.sageways, Nangong Feng stopped.
Before him was a hundred-meter-tall stone door.
With a light wave of Nangong Feng’s sleeve, the stone door slowly opened to two sides.
A gust of refres.h.i.+ng spiritual energy a.s.saulted his senses.
It was a completely different world inside, with islands floating in the air and waterfalls that were hundreds of meters tall hanging on the horizon.
Immortal aura rose from all the islands, winding around them like countless ribbons.
Rows of cranes sung as they weaved through the various islands.
Seeing this, Qin Chuan’s eyes lit up, and he was instantly stunned.
This was practically a paradise on earth!
The spiritual energy here is at least six to seven times denser than outside, thought Qin Chuan, shocked.
“Stop daydreaming!” Nangong Feng laughed. “Everyone’s waiting for you!”
Qin Chuan paused. “Waiting for me?”
‘Without another word, Nangong Feng flew towards the floating islands.
Qin Chuan followed suit.
Nangong Feng stopped above a floating island.
This floating island was the largest, spanning hundreds of thousands of square kilometers. At its center was a towering mountain.
At the top of the mountain was a majestic palace.
Nangong Feng introduced, “This place is the beautiful abode of elders of Luo Ding Sect’s third division.
This is the Great Elder’s abode.
‘As he spoke, Nangong Feng led Qin Chuan to the entrance of the main hall.
“Great Elder, I’ve brought Qin Chuan,” said Nangong Feng, bowing at the entrance of the hall.
“Bring him in!” a booming voice came from the hall.
Then, the door slowly opened.
‘As soon as the door opened, a boundless aura gushed out, accompanied by a pressure that struck straight to the depths of his soul. Qin Chuan’s expression changed, and he froze on the spot once again.
Nangong Feng smiled and placed his hand on Qin Chuan’s shoulder.
Instantly, Qin Chuan’s tense nerves relaxed.
“Many thanks, Elder!” Qin Chuan quickly clasped his hands and bowed.
Nangong Feng said calmly, “Remember to stay behind me, don’t stray too far.”
“Yes!”
Qin Chuan observed his surroundings as he walked.
The hall was brightly lit, s.p.a.cious, and a hundred times grander than an imperial palace.
Seated on a tall platform in the hall was an old man with a long white beard.
On either side of the old man stood a few purple-robed elders.
“Great Elder!” greeted Nangong Feng, bowing deeply.
Qin Chuan looked up. Based on the books he had read during the day, he knew who the old man on the platform was.
“The Great Elder of the third division of the Luo Ding Sect, Immortal King Bai Kongchen..”
