Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 472 - 458: Target

Taiyi Immortal Sect.

Taiyuan True Monarch was quite emotional upon receiving this news.

"This Dao Lord is still as sharp and outstanding as ever."

"Previously, this Dao Lord was able to force the Heavenly Sea Sword Pavilion to seal off its mountain and not venture out, and made the Jade Kirin Demon Saint flee everywhere. Now, after such a long time, his cultivation has advanced further, so it's normal for him to step into a whole new domain."

Jade Emperor Supreme said, "I just didn't expect that Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord would bully the young by directly attacking Alkaid..."

"Isn't it normal for Abyssal Ruins to bully the young? Not just Abyssal Ruins, but Kongming, Jimie, Unforbidden, which one of them isn't a madman? Especially Jimie Dao Lord, it's said that twenty thousand years ago, he planned to slaughter all the Shattered Void of the Northern Sea Star's Void Path in one go. If it weren't for Supreme Purity Dao Lord stepping in to stop him, there wouldn't have been the subsequent breakthroughs of the two Void Dao Lords,"

Taiyuan True Monarch said calmly.

"Kongming, Jimie, Unforbidden..."

Jade Emperor Supreme felt a tingling sensation on his scalp as he heard his sect leader mention the names of these Dao Lords.

There are too many Dao Lords in the Void Path.

Each time the Gate of the Immortal Realm opens, among the Dao Lords who come from all over the world, those from the Void Path are likely to account for thirty to forty percent.

But regrettably, there is only one spot in the Void Path.

This situation demonstrates just how much "internal competition" there is among the Dao Lords of the Void Path.

Ordinary people, once under tremendous pressure and heading towards a breakdown, are likely to do some excessive things.

Not to mention each of these powerful Dao Lords, who possess infinite might.

"Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord is also considered one of the more notorious Dao Lords. Now, this ancient Dao Lord was directly slain by Penglai Dao Lord... I hope this can deter those Dao Lords who cause trouble on the Northern Sea Star during each Dao struggle,"

Jade Emperor Supreme spoke and couldn't help but sigh, "The Gate of the Immortal Realm doesn't yet show signs of opening, the Dao struggle is not near, yet a Dao Lord has already fallen. This is... a bad omen."

"Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord, after all, was an ancient Dao Lord who lived for 120,000 years. The long years eroded his spirit, making his thoughts and Divine Sense operate far less nimbly than originally, like an old machine; no matter how advanced it originally was, wear and tear over the years will cause all kinds of issues. Thus, even though such a Dao Lord has fallen, it probably won't deter the other Dao Lords much..."

Taiyuan True Monarch looked up at his sect's Sect Protection Array and said, "However, the Dao Lord will soon be back, and combined with our Taiyi Immortal Sect's great array, plus the mutual aid agreement we signed with Heavenly Dao Sect, getting through this Dao struggle shouldn't be too difficult."

Jade Emperor Supreme nodded.

Still, his face carried an irrepressible worry.

For those standing at the pinnacle of the Shattered Void realm, like the candidates on the Dao Lord reserve list, the coming of the Dao struggle is both a risk and an opportunity.

But for the ordinary Shattered Void...

It's going to be a tough time.

Take Jade Emperor Supreme himself, who was already considering whether to apply to be stationed somewhere in the extraterritorial starry sky.

"By the way, there's a direct disciple in Heavenly Dao Sect who is about to be promoted to Hollow Void and will soon hold a Hollow Void ceremony… would you like to send someone to participate..."

At this moment, Taiyuan True Monarch asked again.

Jade Emperor Supreme couldn't help but feel speechless, "A direct disciple's promotion to Hollow Void, isn't it enough to let the department in charge of ceremonies send an elder to show our intention? Do we really need to…"

"This new Hollow Void is Su Yaoxue, Alkaid Sect Leader's sister."

Taiyuan True Monarch spoke and added, "Her own sister."

"…"

Jade Emperor Supreme's speech abruptly stopped.

"I plan to let Chao Yang represent me there, and if you're not planning to go..."

"I'll make the arrangements immediately."

...

The fall of a Dao Lord left Northern Sea Star unsettled for a long time afterward.

Even Jade Emperor Supreme, backed by one of the ten top tier Immortal Sects and protected by a Fifteenth Level Mountain Protection Array, was considering avoiding its edge, let alone those at the Refining Void and Hollow Void levels.

In the next period, it was evident that numerous Refining Voids and Hollow Voids started leading their core family members away from the Northern Sea Star.

Either returning to their ancestral lands, or finding some hidden planet or world, planning to hide there for a thousand or two thousand years until the Northern Sea Star became calm again.

Usually, such a major evacuation would occur centuries later, but this time, due to the fall of Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord, it happened earlier.

The shift of a Dao Lord, a person of such significance, could stir ripples affecting the whole Northern Sea Star.

Even more so with the fall of a Dao Lord.

However, because of the tumult over Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's fall, life continued as usual within the Heavenly Dao Sect.

Just like this Hollow Void promotion ceremony of Su Yaoxue.

Hollow Void, in any top tier force on Northern Sea Star, counts as a master.

The appearance of a Hollow Void indeed attracts much attention, making it reasonable to hold a ceremony.

But usually, only those forces in good standing would send representatives to offer their congratulations.

Those truly involved in the ceremony are still the major forces within the Hollow Void's own sect.

However, this time Su Yaoxue's promotion ceremony was clearly different.

The host was none other than the Sect Leader of Heavenly Dao Sect who had recently "collaborated" with Penglai Dao Lord to slay a Void Dao Lord.

Such a significant figure hosting the celebration, what force would dare to neglect it?

And yet the host of the celebration was merely a Hollow Void...

For a time, the leaders of each top tier force were racking their brains over who exactly would be suitable to attend this celebration.

But as the celebration drew near, representatives from the major forces gradually took their places.

In sight, if not a Young Sect Master or Vice Sect Leader, then it was a Hollow Void level direct disciple poised to inherit the Sect Leader's mantle.

If not, then at least the most valued descendant of some Supreme Elder.

Every participant had at least reached the Hollow Void Level, and many were in the Void Refinement Realm.

Moreover, the forces that came to the meeting were unprecedented in number.

All the forces from the Ten Great Immortal Paths, Three Immortal Martial Sects, and Four Great Immortal Dynasties were present without exception.

Even the Six Buddhist Temples, which seldom moved outside, were no exception.

A ceremony to promote someone to the Hollow Void Level was organized on a scale even larger than the ceremony for the appointment of a Vice Sect Leader.

It could even be directly compared to the enthronement ceremonies of emperors from the Four Great Immortal Dynasties.

A person's reputation precedes them.

Even the Cultivation Immortal World was no exception to this adage.

It was during this grand ceremony that everyone truly recognized the influence of Alkaid in the Northern Sea Star.

To say he was the most influential person in the Northern Sea Star, second only to a Dao Lord, would no longer be doubted by any individual or force.

...

The celebration lasted for nearly half a month before dispersing.

Every member of the Nine Cauldrons Sect made a significant appearance before all the forces on the Northern Sea Star.

Many were also quietly encouraging themselves to achieve the Hollow Void as soon as possible.

They did not expect Alkaid to personally oversee their promotion ceremonies like he did for Yaoxue, but who wouldn't want to experience that kind of dazzling glory?

Especially since...

The right time was nearly upon them.

In the following period, the Nine Cauldrons Sect was indeed about to witness an explosion of new generations.

It could be foreseen that within a hundred years, the Nine Cauldrons Sect would definitely become a pivotal force within the Heavenly Dao Sect.

...

The cultivators of the Nine Cauldrons Sect, each with a Deep Blue Golden Core, surged forth like a hundred boats racing.

But once back in the Abandoned Heaven Valley, Alkaid was incredibly busy.

Soon after, the Penglai Dao Lord, who was summoned by Alkaid to serve as a toolbearer, also became busy.

This business lasted for more than a dozen years.

For that time, both of them scarcely had a moment to breathe, devoting all their energy and time to the crafting of the Human Emperor Sword and the Endless Tower.

Fortunately, their hard work paid off.

After twenty long years of refinement, both the Human Emperor Sword and the Endless Tower successfully completed their transformations.

Accompanied by a strong continuous dispersion of Dao charm escaping in all directions, only to be blocked by the reinforced Formation of the Abandoned Heaven Valley, both top-tier Dao Artifacts soared into the sky.

The Penglai Dao Lord waved her hand, and the Human Emperor Sword landed in her grasp.

Alkaid, too, leapt up and grabbed the soaring Endless Tower.

"Succeeded."

Alkaid declared.

"Truly impressive."

The Penglai Dao Lord held the Human Emperor Sword and plucked it with her finger, causing invisible Dao charms to ripple out.

The next moment, the force of the Origin Dao constantly washed over it, refining the top-tier Dao Artifact to flow like water and merge into the body of the Penglai Dao Lord.

After integrating with this top-tier Dao Artifact, her control over the Origin Dao visibly improved by more than ten percent.

"Congratulations Dao Lord, on finally obtaining a top-tier Dao Artifact that suits you."

Alkaid said with a smile.

"Are you looking for a compliment from me?"

The Penglai Dao Lord responded with a light laughter.

She pointed with an empty hand, letting out a thread of Origin Power.

After a brief moment of perception, she expressed some regret, "Although the top-tier Dao Artifact has enhanced my strength, it still doesn't have an immediate serious impact. If it were a Semi-Immortal Artifact, or even a true Immortal Artifact, that would be ideal. If I had a Semi-Immortal Artifact like the Great Dao Golden Book, I could now directly attack the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals and slay the troublemaking Jade Kirin Demon Saint."

"After I ascend to Integrate Dao, I'll try to craft one for the Dao Lord. I can't promise an Immortal Artifact, but a Semi-Immortal Artifact... as long as the Dao Lord can provide the materials, crafting it would still be feasible."

Alkaid said.

"But the materials aren't that easy to collect,"

said the Penglai Dao Lord, glancing at the Endless Tower in Alkaid's hand, "How can our Penglai Immortal Sect compare with the resources of those top-tier sects? The materials I've gathered over the years have all been spent on the Human Emperor Sword and your Dao Artifact."

"If not a Semi-Immortal Artifact, crafting another top-tier Dao Artifact is still something we could try."

Alkaid suggested with a smile, "There are still quite a few related materials left. If the Dao Lord is willing, I could craft another Dao Artifact for you."

"Oh?"

The Penglai Dao Lord looked at Alkaid, appraising him, "Offering to help me craft a top-tier Dao Artifact? What are you aiming for?"

"I need a favor from the Dao Lord."

Alkaid did not beat around the bush but spoke directly, "I've heard that the material used in the Sky Banishing Tower, a top-tier Dao Artifact belonging to the Unforbidden Dao Lord, is the Soul Charm Mysterious Crystal. This crystal, when integrated with any Void type material, can elevate its quality to that of an Immortal Artifact grade material, and if it is an Immortal Artifact grade material, it could further enhance its quality..."

"The Sky Banishing Tower is a treasure to the Unforbidden Dao Lord, you might as well directly ask for the life of the Unforbidden Dao Lord if you wish to dismantle the Sky Banishing Tower and extract the Soul Charm Mysterious Crystal,"

the Penglai Dao Lord laughed.

"You are right,"

Alkaid bowed, speaking solemnly, "If possible, I wish to borrow the power of the Dao Lord to ambush and slay the Unforbidden Dao Lord."
