Hidden Heaven Island, Wayless Sect, Ancestral Master Hall.
Chu Yuan brought out Divine Light’s Major Account to meet with the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty here.
He had no choice.
No sooner had Chu Yuan finished lecturing Zhang Han in the Ancestral Master Hall than he was told that the leader of a great power wished to see him.
After some consideration, he felt it wasn’t proper to use a minor account, so he brought out his major account to meet with the visitor.
Initially, Chu Yuan thought he might be making a fuss over nothing.
However, as soon as he met the Emperor of the Great Tang Immortal Dynasty, he didn’t feel that way at all.
...
The two met in the Ancestral Master Hall.
The moment their eyes met, a heightened sense of alertness arose in both of their hearts, recognizing that the other was far from ordinary.
In Chu Yuan’s eyes, this man was unfathomable.
Since obtaining Divine Light’s Major Account, he had been able to see through anyone; if not see through them entirely, then at least understand some of their background.
But with this Emperor, he could not see through him at all.
A hidden aura enveloped the Emperor, an aura that was not weaker than his own Divine Light’s Major Account.
This aura was elusive yet strange.
The strangeness lay in the fact that this aura was completely different from the Emperor’s foundational aura.
It was as though this aura didn’t belong to the Emperor at all.
Out of wariness, Chu Yuan did not speak first, and naturally, neither did the other.
The Emperor also remained silent.
For a time, their eyes were locked, and both were without words.
The atmosphere turned slightly awkward.
Some time passed.
The Emperor was the first to speak, breaking the silence.
“Truly worthy of being Sect Master of the Wayless Sect, fellow Daoist possesses impressive abilities,”
The Emperor slightly cupped his hands towards Chu Yuan as a gesture of greeting.
“The abilities that fellow Daoist possesses are indeed astonishing. However, why does the one residing within you not come out to meet me?”
Chu Yuan returned the greeting with a fist and palm salute, then directly addressed the matter.
His gaze was fixed on the Emperor, his expression solemn.
But his face was shrouded in Divine Light, rendering it impossible for others to discern his expression.
“Hmm? Fellow Daoist is truly skilled in divine arts to have noticed this, but please rest assured, no other persona resides within me. What fellow Daoist perceives is likely this.”
The Emperor spoke with a light chuckle.
After speaking, he extended his palm.
In his palm, a golden flame rose up.
Within this golden flame, an unyielding will surged, and it was this will that made Chu Yuan feel it was no weaker than his own.
“What is this?”
Chu Yuan was taken aback, uncertain as to what it truly was.
“This embodies the collective will of my Great Tang Immortal Dynasty’s billions of subjects! My Great Tang once faced the peril of extinction, but I, leading the will of billions, persevered, and thus this unyielding will was forged! Heaven’s way prevails, a true gentleman must never cease to strengthen himself!”
The Emperor spoke, every word deliberate.
With every sentence he uttered, even with each word, the surge of the golden flame in his palm grew stronger.
Chu Yuan, standing opposite to him, could even sense that at this moment, the intensity of the golden flame had already surpassed that of his own Divine Light’s Major Account.
“But fellow Daoist, why appear before others in the guise of Dharma Aspect?”
The Emperor continued, his piercing gaze locked onto Chu Yuan.
“Dharma Aspect?”
Chu Yuan was momentarily stunned.
“`
But he soon understood.
Before him was Divine Light’s Major Account.
In general, it wasn’t his complete form.
His complete form should be the combination of the Divine Light’s Major Account, Divine Light Minor, and Heavenly Dao Main Account.
At the moment, he was just the Divine Light’s Major Account. If an outsider were to see, it would indeed seem like just a Dharma Aspect.
However, for normal people, a Dharma Aspect is merely one percent, or even one ten-thousandth of the original body’s power.
But he was different.
The strength of his Major Accounts was equal to each other.
Nonetheless, using the Dharma Aspect to bluff the Emperor of the Celestial Tang Dynasty was not a bad idea; it could at least make the other party wary.
“For this matter, I hope my fellow Daoist will understand. It’s not that I wish to meet people with my Dharma Aspect, but my true body is at a critical moment in cultivation and cannot leave. Therefore, I can only descend in the form of a Dharma Aspect,”
Chu Yuan spoke effortlessly.
He didn’t seem flustered at all, primarily because he felt that what he said wasn’t wrong.
His true body was indeed cultivating.
Once he combined all three bodies, wouldn’t that mean he had finished his seclusion?
In that case, what he said was completely correct.
“So it is, this Emperor has been too presumptuous,”
The Emperor had indeed thought of these points and looked at Chu Yuan with a trace of wariness, then spoke again.
“I have heard that the reason for the fellow Daoist’s visit this time is regarding an alliance. May I ask how you wish to form this alliance?”
Chu Yuan didn’t dwell on these details and slowly inquired.
Upon hearing this,
The Emperor standing opposite put down his wariness, stood with hands clasped behind his back, and brought out a golden object, which resembled an imperial decree but was not one.
This object was permeated with a Heavenly Dao’s might, inscrutable and boundless.
As soon as this might of the Heavenly Dao appeared, it threatened to burst out of the Ancestral Master Hall. Fortunately, Chu Yuan reacted in time and suppressed this surge of power.
“My friend, this is the Scroll of Alliance. This scroll reaches heaven and earth. Once signed, it signifies that both parties have formed an alliance and will never betray each other. If one does betray, then they will not be tolerated by heaven and earth!”
“I wish to use the Scroll of Alliance to form an alliance with the Wayless Sect. From then on, we will be united as one and face everything together,”
The Emperor said gravely.
“An alliance? What do we need an alliance for?”
Chu Yuan was taken aback.
Does his Wayless Sect need an alliance?
He wasn’t waging wars; his only concern was teaching his good-for-nothing disciples. That’s all.
To him, an alliance seemed to have little use.
“My friend, your Wayless Sect is a new power, and perhaps you are not aware of the situation in the Immortal Realm. The five strongest rogue forces in the Immortal Realm have formed an alliance, balancing the entire realm and not allowing other super-forces to emerge.”
“Your Wayless Sect will sooner or later come to their attention. If you do not form an alliance, I’m afraid they won’t take you seriously. Only if we form an alliance, we’ll have the power to contend with those five great forces,”
The Emperor, with hands behind his back, said so.
He wasn’t exaggerating at all.
The situation was indeed as described.
“Hmm? The five great forces? My Wayless Sect doesn’t seize territories or vie for power, will we still be targeted?”
Chu Yuan was somewhat puzzled.
“Your Wayless Sect has you as its pillar and is blessed with geniuses like Taiyi Sword Honor among others. Its potential for the future is limitless. Moreover, with subordinate powers like the Grand Immortal Dynasty outside, it already shows the tendency to become a leading power.”
The Emperor shook his head slightly.
A truly powerful faction doesn’t need to fight personally, but rather supports other powers everywhere to contend with all challenges, without needing to move on their own.
The Emperor had to admit that the Wayless Sect had already taken on the guise of a dominant force.
Given time, the Wayless Sect might indeed grow into a true leading power.
Those five great forces would not fail to notice that…
