Chapter 1045: Alliance Secrets, Two Years

Regarding the events that transpired in the Demon Spirit Land where the Immortal Emperor's Immortal Cave was located, the entire Alliance Star Domain became uncharacteristically calm. Although that Immortal Emperor's Immortal Cave was small, what it drew in was far too much.

In this battle, the Cultivation Alliance suffered heavy losses. Void Realm Child died, that former Immortal Lord went insane and disappeared, and a massive number of Immortals were lost.

In the end, there were not many survivors who returned to the Alliance headquarters.

This news spread like snowflakes. Two months later, almost everyone in the Alliance Star Domain knew about it. Some did not believe it, some were shocked, and others harbored ulterior motives; there was a wide variety of reactions.

The most common reaction was disbelief that the massive Cultivation Alliance could suffer such a heavy blow. However, as time passed and the rumors grew, three more months went by, forcing people to accept the reality of the situation.

What shocked these Cultivators even more was the reappearance of the Four Saints Sect. Rumors claimed that the Vermilion Bird Saint Emperor of the Four Saints Sect had descended, wielded the ancient Four Saints Sacred Artifacts, severely injured the Alliance Elder Group member Heavenly Fate Child, and sealed the awakened Immortal Emperor.

This matter was truly earth-shattering, leaving all Cultivators in shock, disbelief, and a fear hidden deep within their minds.

The figure of the Four Saints Sect gradually emerged in the hearts of the people within the Alliance Star Domain as the rumors continued.

That former hegemon was like a Vicious Beast that had slumbered for countless tens of thousands of years, and now, it was awakening once again…

Meanwhile, the Luotian Cultivators also uncharacteristically ceased all attacks, as if they too were pondering the truth of these events.

Almost all the Cultivators outside the Alliance Star Domain headquarters were silent, waiting for the Cultivation Alliance's counterattack in the wake of this unbelievable news.

Since the founding of the Cultivation Alliance, anyone who provoked them would surely be left without a complete corpse and would have to suffer the Alliance's monstrous rage and retaliation.

However, while almost everyone was waiting for the Cultivation Alliance to act, the Alliance remained silent, and no movements were reported.

Time passed slowly, and another three months went by.

Gradually, more and more Cultivators began to feel uneasy. The Cultivation Alliance's rare silence could only mean one of two things.

Either it was the brewing of an earth-shattering explosion… or perhaps the Cultivation Alliance headquarters had suffered an unimaginable blow…

And just at this moment, the monstrous grand formation outside the Cultivation Alliance headquarters activated, cutting off all communication between the inside and outside. This immediately caused a massive uproar.

The Luotian side struck immediately. Boundless numbers of Luotian Cultivators frantically attacked all resistance forces in the Alliance Star Domain, advancing continuously like a tide.

One month after the Luotian side launched their full-scale offensive, the highly mysterious Corpse Yin Sect within the Alliance Star Domain immediately announced that they would not participate in the war between the Alliance and Luotian. Instead, they occupied the southern part of the Alliance Star Domain, formed their own territory, and completely sealed it off, preventing any non-Corpse Yin Sect Cultivators from entering.

Anyone who broke into the southern part of the Alliance would immediately be met with a destructive strike from the Corpse Yin Sect.

The independence of the Corpse Yin Sect immediately stirred up a storm within the Alliance Star Domain, shocking everyone.

But at this moment, the Cultivation Alliance headquarters remained silent. Without orders from the headquarters, all the Alliance forces within the Star Domain had to gather on their own to resist the frantic attacks from the Luotian side.

However, this made it difficult to form any real resistance. As Luotian Cultivators flooded in and charged frantically, they were pushed back step by step. Finally, after another year of slaughter, the northern part of the Alliance completely became Luotian territory! The Luotian side successfully occupied the western and northern parts of the Alliance Star Domain, connecting them into one piece!

Time had passed, and it had been nearly two years since the rumors about the Immortal Emperor's Immortal Cave first appeared. During these two years, no news had come from the Alliance headquarters, and the completely sealed grand formation prevented anyone from entering.

Looking from afar, the Alliance headquarters no longer had its former liveliness but was instead like a dead zone. Rumors flew everywhere, and news that the Alliance headquarters had been uprooted and that there were no survivors inside continued to spread throughout these two years.

Gradually, the people of the former Alliance Star Domain transitioned from hope to disappointment, and finally, in despair, they formed various Alliances. Numerous forces, large and small, carved up the starry sky, forming new sects like bamboo shoots after a spring rain!

These forces either occupied three or five Cultivation Planets and consolidated all their Cultivators, or they occupied over a dozen Cultivation Planets to form their own sect.

Others were originally Level 7 cultivation Countries that, having lost the management of the Cultivation Alliance, immediately became independent like the Corpse Yin Sect.

Among these forces, the four most powerful ones stood out, with two being the most supreme. They were the only two Level 8 cultivation Countries in the Alliance Star Domain: the Chuyun Country and the Ludi Country.

These two Level 8 cultivation Countries had their strength almost completely preserved and became independent one and a half years after the Cultivation Alliance vanished!

The other two forces were the backbone of the former Cultivation Alliance. After gathering and devouring one another, they finally became new forces: the Heaven Human Palace and the Earth Evil Gate.

Outside of these four forces were the scattered, smaller factions. These Cultivation Alliance forces all existed in the center of the Alliance Star Domain.

Having occupied the west and the north, the Luotian side was not satisfied. Before them lay three choices: the Corpse Yin Sect in the south, the Alliance remnants and headquarters in the center, and the mysterious eastern part of the Alliance.

Unless absolutely necessary, Luotian did not want to clash with the Corpse Yin Sect. As for the east, according to Luotian's analysis, it should have become the territory of the Four Saints Sect within these two years, but there had been no concrete evidence.

The Luotian side was even more deeply wary of the Four Saints Sect, even more so than the Corpse Yin Sect.

As such, the Alliance remnants and headquarters in the center were naturally the first choice. Just as the Luotian Cultivator army was preparing to launch an all-out attack and continue their offensive…

The grand formation outside the Alliance headquarters, after being closed for nearly two years, rumbled to life and slowly opened.

The opening of the Alliance headquarters immediately caused a storm to sweep through the Alliance Star Domain, causing the Luotian offensive to come to an immediate halt!

Even the Corpse Yin Sect immediately began to observe the situation.

Not to mention the former Alliance Cultivators who had formed their own new sects. Just as everyone was watching the Alliance headquarters, the Alliance headquarters did not take forceful measures to consolidate those new sects. Instead, it allowed them to exist and issued a kill order!

"Kill Wang Lin! This person once used the alias Xu Mu in the Luotian Star Domain, his Daoist name is Demonic Path Child, and he is a legitimate Thunder Immortal! Now, he is a member of the Vermilion Bird Saint Sect of the Four Saints Sect!

Whoever retrieves this person's Primordial Spirit will receive the Cultivation Alliance's Legacy from the Immortal Realm from back then!"

In addition to this kill order, the Cultivation Alliance headquarters also issued a decree.

"Former Cultivation Alliance Cultivators who have formed new sects, those who resist the Luotian Cultivators for sixty years and protect the headquarters, shall enter the Luotian Elder Group and enjoy all the power of the Immortal Realm Legacy.

If any refuse to fight and flee, when the Cultivation Alliance collapses, that will be the moment your Life Souls shatter!"

Furthermore, when the Alliance headquarters opened this time, a large number of Magic Treasures and Jade Slips containing Immortal techniques flowed out and were obtained by the former Alliance Cultivators.

These Magic Treasures and Immortal techniques could be said to be the accumulation of the Cultivation Alliance over countless tens of thousands of years. Releasing them in such large quantities showed the crisis within the Cultivation Alliance headquarters.

After issuing these two decrees and distributing a large number of Magic Treasures and Jade Slips, the grand formation outside the Cultivation Alliance headquarters opened once again, completely sealing off the Cultivation Alliance headquarters.

However, that brief opening made all the former Alliance Cultivators feel a chill in their hearts. Most of them did not hold their own Life Souls; the higher their cultivation, the more forcefully the Alliance would seize their Life Souls, and resistance meant death.

Only in this way could the Cultivation Alliance rule the Star Domain for countless eras.

Similarly, just after the Cultivation Alliance headquarters issued its decree, the Four Saints Sect rose in the eastern part of the Alliance Star Domain!

The Four Saints Sect, just as the Luotian side had analyzed, had completely occupied the eastern Star Domain over these two years, sweeping away all forces, except for the Kunxu Realm!

In an instant, the entire Alliance Star Domain was torn apart, becoming a battlefield for several forces. Although Luotian was ostensibly the strongest, the mystery of the Corpse Yin Sect, the prestige of the Four Saints Sect, the Magic Treasures and Immortal techniques obtained by the Alliance remnants, and the Life Soul restrictions that forced them to struggle against Luotian all combined to create a delicate balance among these multiple forces.

However, the feud between Luotian's Yan Leizi and the Cultivation Alliance would not be broken by this balance. The Luotian side took another step forward in their offensive, heading straight for the Alliance remnants in the center!

The flames of war spread, and as the fighting continued, casualties mounted.

Meanwhile, in the Four Saints Sect in the eastern part of the Alliance, there was a burning Star Domain. Deep within this Star Domain, on a massive white stone, a young man sat cross-legged.

This person was dressed in white with an ordinary appearance, but he exuded a strange aura that made him look quite like an Immortal. He had his eyes closed, and as his chest rose and fell, two Qi Dragons drifted out from his nostrils, circled around him several times, and then were slowly inhaled back through his mouth and nose.

During this process, a large amount of white flames surged from the stone beneath the young man and were inhaled into his body along with the Qi Dragons.

He had been sitting cross-legged here for two years. During these two years, he had never left this place, peacefully meditating and breathing, absorbing the flame power from the stone to treat the injuries to his Primordial Spirit.

Behind him was an old man. This old man was extremely aged, as if he had lost most of his vitality. During these two years, he would occasionally raise his right hand and tap the young man's back.

Every time his fingertip landed, the old man's body would tremble, as if a vast amount of origin energy was surging from his body, entering the young man in front through his finger.

And the young man would also shudder, his white hair moving without wind, and the high temperature contained within his body becoming even more intense.

"The Vermilion Bird Saint Sect, the Divine Ability that every generation of Saint Emperors must learn, is called the Vermilion Bird Nine Profound Transformation. This Divine Ability has been passed down since the ancient times and is one of the Peak Divine Abilities in the world today."

Let Er Gen rest for half a day; just one chapter today. Constant bursts have made Er Gen almost collapse, with no time to think. I need to rest my body and mind to carefully refine the remaining plot. After all, speed is not the strength of renegade immortal; quality is the root of everything. I hope everyone can understand.
