Chapter 718: Chapter 609 Set Sail_2

Ding Haiping furrowed his eyebrows slightly, not immediately grasping what Wang Zijia wanted to say.

Zhang Decheng’s eyes gleamed as he said, "Is it a request?"

Wang Zijia nodded, "You could say that."

Upon hearing this, a sharp light flashed in Ding Haiping’s eyes as he understood Wang Zijia’s intentions.

This was a chance for them to contact Li Shenghui!

However, Zhang Decheng hesitated, "Will his request be easy to fulfill? I don’t want to make things difficult for you, Junior Brother."

Wang Zijia shook his head with a smile, not hiding anything, he straightforwardly said, "Far from easy. He wishes to become an immortal or to reincarnate!"

"Wh... What?" Zhang Decheng was speechless for a moment.

Ding Haiping suddenly looked at Wang Zijia profoundly and said, "So, how did you respond, Junior Brother?"

Zhang Decheng blinked, suddenly realizing that Li Shenghui had been living here for half a year, could it be...?

An idea struck him, and he gazed at Wang Zijia in astonishment.

"It’s not what you all think. I did promise him a agreement for a hundred years, but who knows what will happen?" Wang Zijia explained.

Rather than clarifying, his explanation stunned both of them even more.

A hundred year agreement?

Securing someone to become an immortal within a hundred years?

So, could this person reach the peak of Tribulation Crossing cultivation within a hundred years?

Indeed, in just a few years, he had attained Primordial Spirit status. Although crossing the tribulation was difficult, it was unlikely to be a problem for him.

After a moment of stunned silence, Zhang Decheng asked, "What is your recommendation, Junior Brother?"

Wang Zijia smiled, "My Fifth Brother is a typical royalist. He’s goal-oriented, but that’s his advantage. I’ve been ignoring him in Changbao for half a year, long enough for him to understand that the blood tie card doesn’t work well with me."

"Now that I’m leading a group of Wanyu disciples to discuss the alliance, you can imagine his attitude. If you contact him now, he will probably be completely on our side."

Ding Haiping was overjoyed and said, "Junior Brother is so talented! Not only are you strategic, but constantly considerate to Wanyu. As the Head Teacher, I am truly ashamed."

Wang Zijia smiled lightly and said seriously, "But regardless of how you contact him, don’t recklessly make promises on my behalf."

"Of course!"

"We would never be so rash!"

Ding Haiping and Zhang Decheng both instinctively responded in unison.

"With you securing the support of the higher-ups, and me negotiating with the clan elders of Daqian’s Zongren Mansion here, they will naturally lean towards us. We’re hitting them from both sides."

"Therefore, in this alliance, our sect will not only avoid disadvantage, but possibly lead the way. With Wanyu at the helm, we’ll be in control!" With that, Wang Zijia broke into a smile.

Head Teacher Ding Haiping’s worries vanished, his eyes shone with brilliance. Looking at Wang Zijia, he said, "Junior Brother’s talent is truly remarkable. After the alliance is established, regardless of the outcome, you will be the key contributor, a fact our sect will never forget."

Wang Zijia laughed, and without a hint of modesty said, "Thank you then, Head Teacher, for your generosity."

"You truly deserve it, Junior Brother!!!" Ding Haiping said earnestly.

After a few exchanges, they had figured out a basic plan.

They then chatted about various things, creating a cheerful and harmonious atmosphere.

Above the Cloud End Immortal Palace, the mist of immortality lingered, and the aroma of tea filled the air, with children serving on both sides.

The three of them were chatting merrily. Is this what it means to be an Immortal?

On the side, the core light screen constantly displayed various images, flying forward rapidly.

Actually, the Immortal Palace wasn’t flying at full speed. It was barely using one quadrant of speed, at most it was flying at two quadrants of speed.

That’s because it was a War Immortal Artifact!

Using it recklessly would be a little overwhelming, and completely unnecessary!

...

The meeting place for the alliance wasn’t in Daqian or Flying Immortal.

But located southeast of Wanyu, at the intersection of the territories of the Three Sects, there was a sprawling no-man’s land.

In contrast to Changbao in the northeast.

Although Changbao was an intersection of Five Sects, more complex in terms of power structure, it was nominally a vassal country of Daqian, so even in the absence of Wang Zijia, it was chaotic but still controlled.

Although there were numerous solitary Evil cultivators, they basically formed a complete system with full-fledged regulations.

However, the situation was different in the Delta to the southeast where there was a territory three times the size of Changbao, which didn’t belong to any of the Three Sects.

Such a territory had all the advantages of time, place, and people!

The alliance conference this time was held in the largest solitary cultivator faction in this central area.

As to why it wasn’t held in the Three Sects?

This involved the core principle of diplomacy!

The fundamental tone is of host and guest!

You come as the guest, and naturally, I am the host!

A casual visit is one thing, but for a matter of alliance deliberation where no clear dominant party appears, how can one differentiate between a host and guests?

Moreover, in diplomacy, there is no such thing as a minor issue. Everyone needs to face it head-on, pompously, let alone such a major issue.

Normally, if Wentian Pavilion chose not to participate, their neutral territory is considered the best deliberation destination, but it seemed they also intended to meddle this time.

Thus, the location was finally selected to be at Delta.

This was similar to two great countries holding discussions in smaller countries in the past life!

Though the context, the purpose, and the resources might differ, the rationale remained the same!

To hold it in any of the Three Sects, unless an Earth Immortal emerged from any of these Sects, could one possibly take the host position!

However, if an Earth Immortal did emerge, discussions would hardly be necessary anymore!

Earth Immortals and Tribulation Crossing Cultivators are completely different kinds of beings!

Turbid Immortals or solitary immortals could still be manipulated, but Earth Immortals... Even a Tribulation Crossing Cultivator could do nothing to the Immortal body of an Earth Immortal!

It’s a fundamental difference in life hierarchy!

······

Grouping together, they traversed the southeast of Wanyu at a leisurely pace, a giant divine rainbow sweeping across the sky, which sparked countless ambitions.

Wanyu might have seemed mediocre to the current Wang Zijia. It was even remote in the grand scheme of Shen Hong.

But for various dynasties and small sects, it was deemed Holy Land, the ultimate goal that countless people struggled towards.

······

When the magic-driven carriage approached the destination, it was probably a bit early, so they notably slowed their pace.

As they left the borders of Wanyu in a relaxed manner to arrive at the Delta filled with solitary cultivators, the scenery underwent marked changes.

The first impression was chaos, utter chaos!

Be it the sects or the Mortal World, both were in total disorder.

In the Mortal World, there was hardly any visible dynasty, it was just city-state autonomy, usually behind each city region, there was a small sect.

Therefore, the struggles between cities were actually struggles between sect forces.

Every day, there were power turnovers and replacements in this area. It was genuinely difficult to survive here, whether in the Cultivation World or the Mortal World.

After moving further towards the center, the situation seemed to improve slightly.

A few large solitary cultivator factions partitioned the Core Area.

Yet it wasn’t entirely peaceful nor worry-free.

Let alone maintaining status as a millennial force, it was tough to even maintain stability for a few hundred years in this place!

Only in the very Core Area did a clan of Infant Gods exist, with numerous generations of Infant Gods, they were considered the dominant force of this Delta region, ostensibly managing countless solitary cultivators in the area.

Undoubtedly, it was merely nominal. A single clan of Infant Gods, without substantial means and Divine Powers, genuinely struggled to control the chaos in the Delta region.

Considering the number of solitary and Heterodox Dao cultivators in the area, even an Infant God clan dared not oppress.

If they angered the wrong person, who decided to mess around with them daily, it would mean utter destruction for an Infant God clan.

Similar to when Wang Zijia first took charge of the Chu Family and was marked by a Heterodox Dao ghost!

Others mess around in your Mortal World, and all you can do is watch.

Without an adequate population, there will not be enough disciples with Spiritual Roots, and thus not enough Monk foundation. For a clan that based its practice on Bloodline, such conditions meant they would lose everything.

Decline would thus become inevitable.

Therefore, even in the Core Area, it was merely a little more peaceful; you could still distinctly feel the chaos and turbulence.
