Within the grand hall.

Qin Ming pondered to himself, considering Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang’s words, he gained insights into some upper echelon secrets of the Cultivation Realm, even involving the Upper Realm.

This led him to secretly jest: ’Originally, I thought breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage would allow me to walk freely, but it seems my standing isn’t secure enough. I should quickly cultivate to the Late-stage Nascent Soul...’

"Enough, my words end here. Does anyone have any questions?" Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang coldly surveyed the crowd, then continued, "If there are any objections, speak now, don’t regret afterward."

"Taking advantage of this Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly, I declare in the name of the East Sea Star Palace that all attending Nascent Soul influences are to form an alliance immediately."

"In these times of the Demon Sect’s descent, we should support each other, cease mutual attacks and disputes among major forces, and heed unified commands..."

"Until the end of the Blood Realm’s descent."

"Other Nascent Soul influences not present will be notified as well. Should any of you depart this door and break the alliance, don’t blame me for being merciless."

"The ancestor of our sect has spoken. Should any Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivator dare to betray the Human Realm, even if they flee to the end of the world... the ancestor will personally enforce the alliance rules!!"

While speaking, Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang exuded a chilling evil qi, revealing his peak mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, causing the expressions of the old monsters present to freeze momentarily.

Moreover, the Nascent Soul Realm unfolded grandly, leading these several-hundred-year-old experts to change colors.

Even True Monarchs Dragon Wood and Duke Xia Yuan of the Penglai Sect were likewise affected.

However, Qin Ming’s expression remained calm and unchanged.

Several breaths later.

The Nascent Soul Realm was withdrawn, the imposing spiritual pressure receding like a tide.

This formidable stance by Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang was meant to warn these crafty old fellows.

The Star Palace stands as one of the preeminent Divinity Transformation Sects in the Human Realm, facing pursuit by Venerable Divinity Transformation, the outcome is predictable...

"Currently, the situation in the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent is most dire, the Celestial Sea Alliance has dispatched reinforcements, yet it is far from sufficient."

"The Great Li Demon Dao willingly serves as the advance guard for the Demon Sect, betraying the Human Realm, let them be targeted first."

"Nephew Liu Yu, record this alliance meeting thoroughly, and relay it to the major forces."

"Yes! Elder Companion."

Finishing his words, Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang called a young cultivator stationed at the hall door inside; the latter possessed early-stage Golden Core cultivation, with fair skin and a scholarly appearance.

The gazes of the Nascent Soul Old Monsters present unintentionally settled on Liu Yu.

It appears this young man has earned Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang’s trust and favor, evidently intending to promote him by allowing him to appear in such a setting.

Qin Ming also briefly glanced at Liu Yu; this person displayed remarkable composure, showing no signs of excessive tension under the pressure of numerous True Monarchs.

Instead, he began recording in an orderly manner.

Following this.

Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang proceeded to assign tasks to everyone present.

Even the accustomed-to-free Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators unwillingly accepted their assignments, compelled by the overwhelming pressure from the Star Palace.

With the current trend, these top-tier cultivators in the Cultivation Realm can no longer remain detached and unscathed.

In Dragon Abyss Hall, the Nascent Soul True Monarchs from various forces engaged in intense discussions regarding their respective tasks.

Some were dispatched to aid Cultivation regions heavily affected by the Descent Realm.

Others were responsible for providing logistical support.

And the few Nascent Soul Independent Cultivators dressed as country folk were even less fortunate, being named and sent to a city plagued by frequent Void Anomalies, reluctantly agreeing to their tasks.

In private, they grumbled incessantly.

Fortunately for them, they’re not fighting alone; in critical times, they have comrades to support.

Even Master Guangling of the Profound Nether Sect, known for its pride and arrogance from the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm, silently accepted the tasks.

Presumably, Star Palace had already notified the Ice God Hall of the Northern Cold Divinity Transformation Sect in advance.

The alliance affairs, under Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang’s oversight, proceeded smoothly.

This individual, known as the foremost below Late-stage Nascent Soul in the Star Palace, possesses astonishing divine techniques, commanding great influence in the East Sea Cultivation Realm, his reputation well-deserved!

In a few words, he subdued these independently fighting Nascent Soul influences to submit obediently.

"Fellow Daoist Qin... in the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, are you the sole Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"Speaking of which, thanks to Fellow Daoist Qin’s information, we managed to root out numerous moles and eliminate some tumors before the Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly."

Suddenly.

Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang’s face bore a rare smile as he faced Qin Ming.

"Indeed..."

"The previous matter was merely coincidence for Qin, contributing a bit of effort, nothing more."

"Regarding Southern Wilderness affairs, Qin can manage them to some degree."

Qin Ming stood and bowed towards Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang.

"Hmm... Although the Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm has yet to experience Void Anomalies, with the shift of the Descent Realm, a demonic invasion remains inevitable."

"Moreover, Southern Wilderness’s weak strength makes it susceptible as a breakthrough point for the Demon Dao, thus Fellow Daoist Qin should consolidate the various forces of Southern Wilderness, handling logistical matters."

"I will have the West Nether Cultivation Realm and the Central Continent Daoist Alliance share intelligence channels and resources with you; if issues arise, they can also provide timely support."

Supreme Yang mused for a moment, then his gaze fell upon Cold Crow Ascendant and a gaunt, robed old man from the West Nether Cultivation Realm.

This Nascent Soul True Monarch from the West Nether Cultivation Realm was none other than Elder Tianji from the Kuzhu Sect.

"Two Fellow Daoists, do you have any objections to my arrangements? Please feel free to speak up."

The young man in a green robe, Cold Crow Ascendant, sat beside Qin Ming, and quickly stood up to salute:

"No objections, no objections, everything shall proceed according to the Alliance Leader’s instructions!"

Elder Tianji also stood up, politely cupped his hands towards Qin Ming, and said hoarsely, "I’ve long admired True Monarch Wangyue’s reputation. I shall, of course, cooperate and follow the arrangements."

Upon hearing this, even Supreme Yang showed a trace of surprise. He did not expect the old monster from the West Nether Cultivation Realm’s Kuzhu Sect to agree so readily.

After all, these old monsters from harsh lands are tough-natured. Supreme Yang initially thought that some persuasion would be needed for Elder Tianji to agree to support the Southern Wilderness.

However, this saved him a task.

"Has the old ghost of West Nether changed his nature?"

"Why has he become so agreeable? He wasn’t like this before..."

Even Cold Crow Ascendant nearby furrowed his brow, muttering to himself.

Qin Ming also smiled faintly and responded immediately, "In that case, I shall rely on you all abundantly."

But at this moment.

Supreme Yang’s eyes flickered, his expression subtly changed, as if he had received some news.

Then he looked at Qin Ming, showing a half-smile, half-frown expression that was full of deeper meaning, and secretly transmitted:

"Was it you who killed the Blood Aversion Demon Monarch?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s eyes sharpened, and he transmitted back a question, "Why does Fellow Daoist Supreme Yang say this?"

He believed the event back then, involving fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, were all turned into fertilizer in the Little Spirit Realm.

Absolutely no one else knew of this, and the scene left no traces, impossible to trace back to him.

"It was Master Tianji who told me. I wondered why that old guy changed today and is obediently following orders..."

"Turns out he has taken a liking to Fellow Daoist Qin’s strength."

"How did Fellow Daoist Tianji know?"

Qin Ming looked toward Elder Tianji with curiosity, his gaze flickering.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, do not take offense, had I not met you today, I would have no sense of this matter at all,"

"I possess a Divination Divine Technique, which can calculate some events at the cost of some circumstances."

"I never expected such amazing divine techniques from Fellow Daoist Qin, you were able to single-handedly slay the Blood Aversion Demon Monarch, truly making me admire you!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ming’s mouth twitched. He had calculated everything but never thought these old monsters were not to be underestimated.

To think that they have such divination abilities.

"Fellow Daoist Qin need not worry, you have eliminated a great harm from the Human Realm by killing the Blood Aversion Demon Monarch, your merit is grand."

"I never expected Fellow Daoist Qin’s divine techniques to be so extraordinary... After this matter, you may visit our alliance’s treasury and select any Tier Four treasure."

"Consider it some form of compensation. Of course, you may also put forth any requests, as long as they are within my power to fulfill."

In his continued transmission with Qin Ming, Supreme Yang showed a tone of praise.

After all, in the Cultivation Realm, power and cultivation are respected, and this approach aligns with respecting a strong person.

Hearing this, Qin Ming admitted it, since there’s a treasure to claim, why not?

Afterward.

Supreme Yang assigned each Nascent Soul True Monarch their respective tasks.

Even the East Sea Demon Race nodded in agreement, likewise dispatching troops to support the Demon Race of the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

Supreme Yang acted swiftly and decisively, one matter after another was settled.

His solemn face finally revealed a slight smile of satisfaction: "Well then, I hope everyone understands, now that even the Upper Realm Demon Sect has begun to unite."

"Our Human Race and Demon Race cannot sit and wait for demise. Therefore, uniting in truce is the only way out, and to end this calamity as soon as possible."

"When the time comes, we will each go about our own business. Our Star Palace harbors no ambition to unite the Human Realm, and will not meddle in your affairs afterward."

Hearing this, the Nascent Souls present were silent, tacitly agreeing.

Supreme Yang then announced:

"Lastly, Fellow Daoists, who have traveled from afar, are here for the millennia-occurring Immortal Mansion Grand Assembly."

"All the official matters we’ve discussed are concluded."

"With such a gathering of fellow Nascent Soul cultivators, it’s a rare occasion, and I hereby declare the exchange meeting officially begins."

"Our Celestial Sea Alliance and Star Palace also extend our hospitality by offering three treasures for trade at the end."

Subsequently.

Under his leadership and hosting, the various Nascent Soul Old Monsters began to offer up their treasured items, exchanging for what they desired.
