Supreme Cultivation Master

Chapter 709: Chapter 708: Actively Seeking an Alliance

The Red Sand Main God said, "You two assist Brother Great Wilderness. I will go to the mortal realm tomorrow!"

"Understood!" the two Main Gods nodded.

The next day, the Red Sand Main God arrived in the mortal realm, at the Spirit Suppressing Domain. After years of transformation, the Spirit Suppressing Domain was no longer a place of ruins. Instead, it had become a new world.

The Red Sand Main God hadn’t expected this. The mortal realm wasn’t so weak back then, but now it had become surprisingly strong. Of course, this level of power was still beneath the notice of the Divine Domain. Still, the fact that they had grown this powerful with such scarce resources was deeply shocking.

"Who goes there?"

As soon as the Red Sand Main God set foot on this land, someone appeared to challenge him.

The Red Sand Main God said, "Please do not misunderstand. I am one of the rulers of the Righteous Divine Lineage in the Divine Domain, the Red Sand Main God! I have come to the mortal realm this time solely to form an alliance!"

He showed them a surprising amount of respect. In the past, people like this would never have warranted such consideration from him, given his immense power.

The Spirit Suppressing Domain had been in a state of unease recently. Their Spirit Suppressing Barrier had been shattered, and the event they had long feared was finally upon them.

Years ago, Ye Fan had left the mortal realm, never to be heard from again. They had never expected someone from the Divine Domain to descend, simply to form an alliance with them.

"I am Black Fog from Heavenly King Hall," the guard said. "This is a matter I must report to our leaders. They will be the ones to decide!"

"Very well," the Red Sand Main God nodded.

He was a patient man, so he could afford to wait. He made no move to release his power or intimidate them. After all, these people were his junior brother’s former subordinates.

Meanwhile, in the Spirit Suppressing Domain, several high-ranking members were holding a meeting. The Spirit Suppressing Barrier had been broken, and the Divine Domain could press its advantage at any time. When that happened, very few would be able to stop the advance of the Divine Domain’s Martial Artists.

The Heavenly King Hall had transformed over the years and was now led by Ye Fan’s women: Su Qingxue, Heather, and Alice. Their talents were tremendous, and they had already broken through several minor cultivation realms. In terms of raw talent, they were even a cut above Huang Ji and Mu Keqing. Had their environment not been so harsh, they likely would have advanced even faster.

"Divine Domain Martial Artists have already broken through," Zhuang Zhou said gravely. "Many of our Spirit Suppressing People have died in battle."

A fierce battle had taken place the day before. The powerful Martial Artists from the Divine Domain had filled them with dread. A single one of them had claimed hundreds of their lives, and even Elder Fa Ming had nearly perished and was left grievously wounded. Fortunately, that was only the Divine Domain’s vanguard, so they had fought desperately and managed to eliminate those few troops. However, as more vanguard troops from the Divine Domain arrived, the pressure on them grew significantly.

Su Qingxue said, "No matter what, we must hold our ground."

Everyone agreed.

At this point, that was all they could do. If they were to retreat from the Spirit Suppressing Domain, their world, Earth, would plunge into dreadful chaos. At that point, resisting the invasion from the Divine Domain would become a secondary concern. Quelling the internal chaos would be a monumental headache in itself.

"If only he were here," Heather said, sighing as she looked toward the Divine Domain. "So many years have passed. I wonder if he’s okay."

Su Qingxue asked, "Are you talking about my husband?"

Heather nodded. "Yes. He’s been gone for decades. In all that time, we haven’t found a single piece of news about him. I’m so worried."

"Yezi will turn this disaster into a blessing," Alice said confidently. "I have a feeling... a premonition that he will definitely come back this time!"

"The Divine Domain is vast," Su Qingxue added. "I’m sure he knows the mortal realm is in danger and will definitely find a way to return. I just don’t know if we can overcome this calamity."

This was what worried Su Qingxue. This time, they had to directly face the grand army of the Divine Domain—the army of the Evil Divine Lineage. Then there was the Righteous Divine Lineage, which, while it had never acted against them, was still a factor. After spending so many years in the Spirit Suppressing Domain, they had poured over countless texts and knew the structure of the Divine Domain like the back of their hands. This time, their greatest concern was still the Evil Divine Lineage. They were simply too strong.

Just as they were consumed with worry, Black Fog came rushing in.

"What happened?" Su Qingxue asked.

Black Fog said hurriedly, "An emissary from the Divine Domain has arrived! He says he wants to form an alliance with us!"

Su Qingxue and the other women were stunned. "An alliance?"

Heather quickly said, "Let him in first."

"Yes!" Black Fog hurried out.

"Alice," Heather said, "please go and inform the other high-ranking members. Have them come meet this emissary as well!"

"Okay!"

Alice immediately left to notify the others. None of them could have ever imagined that the Divine Domain would send an emissary to ally with them. This was completely unexpected. After all, Heavenly Gods were exalted beings who had only collaborated with the mortal realm once, during the height of the Ancestor of Tianyuan’s power. However, after the Ancestor of Tianyuan died, the Righteous Divine Lineage stopped intervening in the Divine Domain’s slaughter of the mortal realm. If not for the barrier, the mortal world would have fallen long ago.

Therefore, this was not a decision the three of them could make alone. All the leaders of the Spirit Suppressing Domain had to be present to decide together.

Soon, Black Fog led the Red Sand Main God into the main hall.

Seeing the three exceptionally beautiful women, the Red Sand Main God knew instantly that they must be Ye Fan’s women. Only someone like Ye Fan could have three such stunning women.

The Red Sand Main God spoke first. "Greetings, ladies. I come from the Divine Domain. My purpose here is to discuss an alliance to strike against the Evil Divine Lineage!"

Su Qingxue replied, "Our mortal realm is a barren land, and our Martial Cultivators are not very powerful. I fear we would be of little use to you."

"Do not worry," the Red Sand Main God said calmly. "The fight against the Evil Divine Lineage has always been a matter for both the Righteous Gods and the mortal realm. No matter how weak one side may be, any contribution is valued."

He had to admit, all three women conducted themselves with exemplary grace.

"Hmph! Just ’contribute,’ is it? I suppose you just want us mortals to be cannon fodder for you Righteous Gods!" Alice retorted coldly. The past actions of the Righteous Gods were still a sore spot, and she couldn’t resist the jab.

The Red Sand Main God smiled bitterly. "My lady, perhaps you have a misunderstanding of us, though that is to be expected. After all, we were not without fault in what happened back then. I only hope this will not affect our potential alliance."

"Who do we have here? Just some little brat from the Divine Domain!" an extremely unpleasant voice cut in.

The Red Sand Main God’s brow furrowed. Who in the world dares to speak to me like that? To think this person would have the gall to curse me.

The newcomer was Nangong. His power had grown by leaps and bounds, and he was now a Divine Captain.

"It has been many years since anyone dared to speak to me that way," the Red Sand Main God said, his voice level. "You are the first."

He hadn’t expected such hostility from the mortal realm. But no matter how unfriendly they were, this was still Ye Fan’s territory. Though he was angry, he wouldn’t make an issue of it.

"I’ll do more than curse you, I’ll beat you!" Nangong shouted.

He immediately charged forward. However, the Red Sand Main God threw a single punch that sent Nangong flying backward. He crashed hard onto the ground, dizzy and disoriented.

"So! This little brat’s got some strength," Nangong shouted, scrambling up. "But now you’ve really pissed me off!"

He charged at the Red Sand Main God once more, but Heather shouted, "Stop!"

Nangong froze, holding back his attack.

He glared resentfully at the Red Sand Main God, who simply said, "Your temperament is just like mine used to be—fearless of both heaven and earth."

"Do you have a master?" the Red Sand Main God asked, his next words startling everyone. "If not, I could take you as my disciple."
