Immediately, Alex could not wait. He condensed a mass of spiritual energy in his palm and tossed it onto the Demonic Flood Dragon’s corpse.

The corpse was enveloped by the spiritual energy, directly compressed into a fist-sized orb of light, and stuffed into his mouth.

"Tsk..." Alex frowned slightly, tentatively circulating his inner force, yet there was not the slightest reaction.

"This dish is a bit too tough to chew. It seems that wanting to refine it will take quite a bit of time."

Immediately, Alex was not in a hurry to refine the blood and body of this Demonic Flood Dragon, but continued to receive the people waiting behind.

This thing could wait to be processed slowly in the future.

The annual Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and the grandest one in five hundred years at that, could not be delayed or neglected.

For the majority of the subsequent guests, Alex had little interest in seeing them. The only thing that piqued his interest again was the gift from the Purple Star Dynasty.

"Her Highness Kaia Star, Eldest Princess of the Purple Star Dynasty, representing the Star Imperial Family Monarch, comes to attend the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony!"

"Presenting a congratulatory gift, the Immovable Lord technique!"

Hearing this, Alex could not help but freeze slightly, even doubting if his ears had misheard. After confirming he had not, a look of excited ecstasy instantly appeared on his face.

My heavens.

Did this Purple Star Monarch take the wrong medicine? He actually brought out his own family’s ancestral secret technique to curry favor?

"Accept, quickly let her in!"

"Have her bring the Immovable Lord Technique in with her!"

"Elara, serve the best tea!"

A moment later, Kaia walked in gracefully from outside.

Seeing Alex, she nodded slightly and smiled faintly. "Greetings, Saint Lord Alex."

"Princess Kaia, no need to be so polite." Alex hurriedly waved his hand, smiling.

"For your distinguished self to come support my Hale family’s Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, it truly brings immense glory to my Holy Land."

"I just heard my family’s junior say that for this trip, you specifically brought your esteemed nation’s unpassed secret technique, the Immovable Lord Technique?"

"Correct." Kaia Star nodded with a beaming smile.

"After my Imperial Father learned of Saint Lord Alex’s tales, he admired you immensely, prostrating himself in utmost reverence. He specifically had me bring this Immovable Lord Technique, instructing me to deliver it into your hands no matter what, so that this secret technique can become renowned worldwide and be carried forward with great glory!"

"Oh? I did not expect the Purple Star Monarch to be so righteous. I am truly extremely admiring." Alex asked excitedly.

"Then dare I ask, where is this secret technique? Could I take a look?"

"Of course. This Princess has it on her person." Kaia Star smiled slightly and took out a scroll from her storage ring.

The scroll was enveloped in a layer of faint golden luster, radiating an intense intent. Even Alex, who was used to seeing great winds and massive waves, could not help but swallow his saliva.

This was the Purple Star Dynasty’s strongest secret technique, the Immovable Lord Technique.

The Immovable Lord Technique was the cultivation technique closest to the Saint Tier in the entire Purple Star Dynasty.

Legend had it that cultivated to great completion, one could master a divine ability combining both offense and defense.

Offensively, one could summon three thousand Immovable Bronze Men to set up the Immovable Array, allowing one person to rival an army of thousands.

Defensively, one only needed to stand absolutely still to enter the Immovable state.

Any cultivation method below the Saint Tier would be unable to harm a single hair on their body.

More importantly, this was one of the ultimate skills of the Buddhist sect. Since he possessed the Heavenly Buddha Saint Body, cultivating it would be like a fish in water, requiring no effort at all.

Relying on the Dragon Blood Dark Yellow Saint Body, coupled with the absolute defense of the Immovable Lord Technique, when the time came to face the Heavenly Tribulation, he would be able to easily and forcefully withstand it without the slightest accident.

"Princess Kaia, for your Purple Star Monarch to have such profound goodwill, I am endlessly moved!" Alex said excitedly.

"Later, after the ceremony concludes, I will definitely personally head to the Purple Star Dynasty to gratefully acknowledge your esteemed father’s friendship and righteousness!"

As he spoke, Alex excitedly reached out his hand, wanting to take the Immovable Lord Technique into his grasp.

However, just as his hand extended out, Kaia suddenly smiled faintly and placed the scroll back behind her.

"Saint Lord Alex, please do not misunderstand. This Princess coming here today is not merely to show sincerity to you, but even more so to represent the Purple Star Dynasty in forging a century-long alliance with the Hale family." Kaia smiled.

"Since it is an alliance, naturally it requires you to also offer a piece of sincerity, right?"

Alex froze for a moment, then hurriedly smiled and nodded. "Correct, Princess Kaia’s words are extremely right!"

"Since that is the case, out of all the treasures in my entire Holy Land, whatever you fancy, feel free to take and use as you please!"

"Saint Lord Alex jests. I am the Eldest Princess of the Purple Star Dynasty, not a bandit." Kaia smiled.

"My Purple Star Dynasty today gifts you a cultivation technique. As a century-long alliance, you should also bring out a cultivation technique in return to accord with etiquette."

"If you truly have the heart to ally with my Purple Star Dynasty, then please allow me to bring your Hale family’s Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique back to report to my Imperial Father."

Alex said helplessly. "Princess Kaia, I am naturally willing to ally with the Purple Star Dynasty from the bottom of my heart."

"However, this Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique is my Hale family’s ancestral secret technique."

"Only successive Saint Lords have the qualification to cultivate it. If it were gifted to you, would that not be disgracing the family and bringing shame to my ancestors?"

"Saint Lord Alex, what are you saying?" Kaia’s face sank slightly, saying faintly.

"My Purple Star Dynasty’s Immovable Lord Technique, discussing its tier, is above your Hale family’s Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique."
