Chapter 1526: The Inner Workings of the Ancient God Alliance
Jiang Ding was like a part of the void, hidden in a corner of the cosmic starry sky, motionless.
The Six Dao Reincarnation concealed him, and after refining the quasi-ninth rank embryo materials of the Heavenly Illusion Immortal Butterfly Clan, his Six Paths World became even more vivid, with his ability to obscure illusion increasing by several times.
Even a Harmonization God Monarch skilled in reconnaissance would have no hope of finding his concealed form.
"At this moment, I suddenly miss the Shou Gui God Monarch of the Thunder Sun Heavenly Sword Realm immensely..."
Jiang Ding whispered in his heart.
He remained motionless, thus silent.
According to the calculations of the Central Array Spirit Computer, there was a significant probability that a lone Harmonization God Monarch would pass through here.
If not, he would take the initiative to search.
This was not difficult to achieve.
These Harmonization God Monarchs of the Ancient God Alliance are like sticky candies; once the Xianmen Sect initiates an expedition or a sweep, they will inevitably appear, and at that time, he can randomly choose one.
While hidden and silent, Jiang Ding's mind was still deducing various problems in swordsmanship and Immortal Path research, as well as the refinement of the Harmonization stage cultivation method and tribulation crossing secret technique in the "Great Sun Sword Sutra," not wasting any time.
...
Black Sky Domain.
The Immortal Sect Central Army Group Fleet set out once again.
The vast fleet was as dark as it was endless, covering the whole starry sky. Array patterns suppressed all directions, and various Heavenly Dao Rules Nets were densely woven, their terrifying aura enough to suffocate any cultivator in this universe.
This was the current strongest power in the Ancient Divine Domain World Cluster!
Throughout the Ancient Divine Domain, no force could contend with it alone; even gathering them all could not withstand or restrain it. Even with many forces united, they were helpless in the face of its onslaught, losing battles like a collapsing mountain, only able to delay its expansion with roundabout tactics.
"Attack, Weaving Sky Spider Realm."
The voice of Yuan was calm as he issued the command to the entire army.
"Yes!"
"Marshal!"
The fleet, vast as a ring of meteorite belt, rumbled and shook as it launched an attack on the last few domains of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans, with this operation targeting the homeland of the Weaving Sky Spider Clan, reputed as one of the strongest species of the Alliance. It was also the most prosperous and wealthy Medium Thousand World of this region, the Weaving Sky Spider Realm.
In the past few centuries, the Xianmen Sect had attempted this several times.
But every time, they almost succeeded, only to be ambushed and besieged by dozens of Harmonization God Monarchs attacking the rear, forcing them to retreat in defense to avoid being cut off and placing their Mother Star in jeopardy.
This time was yet another expedition.
The Weaving Sky Spider Realm was located in a rich star domain, densely populated with Life Worlds, and not far from the territory of the Xianmen Sect, just a few years' journey away. In a few years, they could reach the Weaving Sky Spider Realm and launch an attack on this world, with the Xianmen Sect confident of capturing the Weaving Sky Spider Realm in a short time.
The premise was to complete the occupation before the rear's critical transportation node, the Medium Thousand World, was attacked and breached.
Otherwise, they would have to return to defend it, as ensuring the safety of the rear was essential.
At the moment the Immortal Sect Central Army Group Fleet set out, innumerable forces in this domain received the news simultaneously, as the mobilization of several billion troops was too vast to hide anything.
This intelligence left many Harmonization God Monarchs of the Ancient God Alliance feeling helpless.
"It's only been a little over a hundred years since the last time?"
"Why is it like this?"
The Three-faced God Monarch of the Devil God Sect said helplessly, "Although Yuan is a junior, he is also a Refining Nothingness cultivator. Why is he this frequently active? This little time isn't even enough for cultivation."
Around him were layers of figures appearing through precious communication treasures, and the silhouettes of strong figures from the Nine Great Immortal Sects of the Ancient Divine Domain and the Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Clans also appeared here.
Everyone's faces looked grim.
Though they had temporarily stalled the expansion of the Eastern Devil School, their overwhelming defeat on the front lines still cast a significant shadow over them, leaving them deeply uneasy.
Many were contemplating changes, seeking various methods and reforms to change this situation.
"Fellow Daoist Three-faced, I have a daughter, gentle and virtuous, with extraordinary talent and filial to her parents. Would it be possible to arrange a marriage alliance with your family?"
"I heard you have a son named Tongxin. Would it be permissible?"
The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch from the Tianyun Immortal Sect looked at the Three-faced God Monarch of the Devil God Sect, smiling.
The Harmonization God Monarchs around glanced at each other, showing expressions of surprise.
"This?"
The Three-faced God Monarch was stunned.
"Fellow Daoist Tianyun, to my knowledge, I have no sons; even my youngest son died five or six millennia ago, with only his bones turned to ash."
"Moreover, you also have no daughters."
Harmonization cultivators lived too long.
Many mundane connections had long since been severed, and they had little interest in bearing children anymore because they had done so many times in the past, tiring of it.
"No,"
"You can have one."
The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch maintained his smile, saying, "I can have one; you can have one."
"I see..."
The Three-faced God Monarch was enlightened, pondering deeply.
Though it was difficult for Harmonization God Monarchs to bear children, if taken as a matter of life and death, with the use of countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the development of various secret techniques, and the expenditure of vast heart blood and time, it was naturally possible to bear offspring.
Within the domain, there were innumerable women, easy to find one.
But would this really be effective?
Plainly speaking, a mere child, in necessary times, was absolutely no concern, providing no restraint.
However, when it was not of much necessity, concessions could be made, as they were direct bloodlines after all.
"Very well,"
"I do have a son, by the name of Tongxin, and he will be born within no more than a thousand years; I hereby thank Fellow Daoist Tianyun on behalf of my son."
The Three-faced God Monarch sighed, saying.
"Good."
The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch nodded, then turned to the Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch: "Fellow Daoist Tianzhu, I have heard that the sages of antiquity taught without discrimination, not confined by racial boundaries."
"I have heard that your seventeenth son, Black Jade, possesses exceptional talent and resolute character. Would it be possible to part with him, to send him to me as a disciple, to inherit the Tianyun Immortal Sect in the future?"
"Inheritance Disciple?"
The Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch was moved.
He had long coveted the inheritance of the Tianyun Immortal Sect, and now with such an opportunity, he was certainly eager to agree.
"This would be Black Jade's good fortune!"
The Weaving Sky Spider God Monarch, without any hesitation, decisively said: "I will send him to the Tianyun Immortal Sect later. If he does not take his studies seriously, feel free to beat or scold him at your discretion, and I will not have any complaints!"
"Moreover, I am short of a direct disciple. Does your sect have any talent..."
Understanding the intention of the Heavenly Fortune God Monarch, he immediately responded.
The surrounding Harmonization God Monarchs thought briefly, then sighed and joined, each arranging marriages and accepting disciples to strengthen their ties, ensuring that even if a Harmonization cultivator died on the battlefield, their sects and species would not be completely annihilated.
In the worst case, it preserved a bit of lineage for their sects and species.
As for the actual effect?
There was likely to be some effect, but how much, no one knew.
Such tight-knit marriages and disciples, if sustained for tens of thousands of years, might eventually prove genuinely effective when the next generation of strong figures rises, fostering feelings for other sects and species.
Hmm, perhaps there may be feelings.
Based on this foundation, Harmonization God Monarchs might be willing to sign stricter alliances, even reaching a consensus to execute those Harmonization God Monarchs who first flee on the battlefield.
This goal seems rather distant.
If achieved, it would be somewhat of a miracle.
However, no one could deny the potential of such a possibility.
"Let's go."
"It would be best to conquer the Demon Heaven Realm, cutting off their rear, forcing their Mother Star to face our spearhead directly..."
The Heavenly Fortune God Monarch and others coldly said.
At this moment, Harmonization God Monarchs from different worlds emerged again, carrying cold killing intent, advancing into the heartland of the Eastern Devil School, trapping a wild beast in place.
