Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 570 - 557: Approaching

"Yu Xiao Immortal King!?"

Alkaid was both shocked and delighted.

At this moment, his feelings were utterly genuine, a true mix of surprise and joy.

Upon hearing the name of the Creation Sect and the suspicion that a Dao Venerable had appeared within this power, he wondered if this Dao Venerable might be the same Yu Xiao Immortal King from the Creation Group who perished three thousand years ago.

After all, there were only so many Immortal Kings in each group.

And the time scales on which Immortal Kings live are incredibly vast, easily reaching tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years.

Apart from the intensely battle-filled era millions of years ago when Immortal Kings would fall at regular intervals, nowadays, only one or two have perished within ten thousand years.

This was the very reason Alkaid ventured to investigate.

Unexpectedly, he hit the jackpot.

"Are you... truly the Yu Xiao Immortal King? The director of the Creation Group who was persecuted and met his demise at the hands of Xuan Qing Immortal King three thousand years ago?"

Alkaid asked.

"The commotion this matter caused was indeed significant, but to say that I was persecuted by Xuan Qing is a bit off the mark. It was simply a matter of being compelled by the times and dragged by causality," the Yu Xiao Immortal King spoke calmly. "Back then, I had reached the peak in the Void Path, and to get Level Nineteen Authority, I either had to go head to head with Tian Yu Immortal King to fight for the title of Void Overlord, or I had to find another way. Since Tian Yu Immortal King had already established a great advantage in the Void Path, with shares exceeding three thousand, it was unlikely that I could match him with my power. Thus, I chose to work via the Path of Causality, eventually falling indirectly at the hands of Chairman Xuan Qing due to causal entanglement."

He gave a simple explanation but did not go into detail.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Alkaid: "Which director cultivated you into an Immortal Spirit? At Seventeen Level, you’re already considered high-ranking management within the group. Why have I not seen you before?"

"In the Creation Group, I was just a minor character, but by a fortunate twist of fate, I quickly rose to Seventeen Level."

"Fortunate twist of fate? In this era, the greatest opportunities lie in the Ancient Immortal Realm, and most of such opportunities are concentrated within the Immortal Realm. You haven’t entered the Immortal Realm, and even with fortune, you wouldn’t be able to perceive the guidance of Master of Primordial Yi. How could you rise so rapidly in authority levels?"

Yu Xiao Immortal King looked at Alkaid, a hint of surprise on his face.

"My fortune did not come from the Ancient Immortal Realm but from the Chaotic Origin Realm."

Alkaid spoke, also displaying a look of surprise: "Your Highness is unaware?"

"Chaotic Origin Realm."

Yu Xiao Immortal King thought for a moment: "Although I am not sure what exactly happened in the Chaotic Origin Realm, its hierarchical structure has been set in stone for a long time. It’s nearly impossible to ascend through the levels within the Chaotic Origin Realm, which is why the Nine Major Groups jointly instigated the wars between the two realms, prolonging it for millions of years... Even if you managed to rise through the ranks in the Chaotic Origin Realm, it would likely be from Sixteenth Level to Seventeen Level; there can’t be any significant leap in levels."

"Your Highness is insightful, as I indeed ascended from Sixteenth Level to Seventeen Level,"

Alkaid said with a smile: "However, within the vast personnel of the Creation Group, there are dozens of individuals with Level Eighteen Authority, who would notice a Sixteenth Level Authority like me."

Listening to this, Yu Xiao Immortal King pondered for a moment and then had to accept this explanation.

As a group director and an Immortal Spirit of Level Eighteen, he usually only interacts with Immortal Spirits of Levels Seventeen and Eighteen.

Although he would pay attention to Level Sixteen Immortal Spirits, it is far-fetched to claim he knows every single one within the group.

After all, Immortal Spirits are heavily reliant on the Master of Primordial Yi. For any uncertainties, they would simply consult the Master of Primordial Yi directly. Level Sixteen Immortal Spirits, apart from a few exceptional ones, wouldn’t be committed to memory.

"Since you belong to our Creation Group, from now on, follow me and work for me. Once you enter the Immortal Realm, even without any connections, with your Seventeen Level authority, it won’t be difficult for you to become a department head responsible for attacking a certain Great Dao."

Yu Xiao Immortal King made a promise.

Hearing this, Alkaid breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, he confirmed two critical suspicions.

Firstly,

the Master of Primordial Yi from the lower realm’s starry sky outside the Immortal Realm cannot be contacted.

Not even a Level Eighteen Authority like the Yu Xiao Immortal King was an exception.

Secondly,

after entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, Immortal Spirits have no knowledge of the events happening there.

Even if they enter the Immortal Realm, it’s no different.

It’s like playing a virtual game; their entire being enters a state similar to hibernation in a gaming pod, allowing their consciousness to act in both the lower and Immortal Realms.

Only if their consciousness here is obliterated or destroyed, will they return to their original bodies, guided by the Master of Primordial Yi.

During this process, they will also pay the price of having their authority cleared.

At that time, even powerful Immortal Kings would have to begin from a Thirteen Level Authority.

Of course, if they hold onto some secrets, as long as they give up these secrets, they can quickly ascend their authority levels.

This Yu Xiao Immortal King did just that.

Three thousand years ago, he perished, and two thousand years later, he entered the lower starry sky of the Ancient Immortal Realm. In other words, it took him merely a thousand years to recover his authority status.

Of course, whether the recovered authority is his prime Level Eighteen, or like himself at Level Seventeen, remains unknown.

"In other words, as long as this Yu Xiao Immortal King does not die, when I act on his behalf in the Immortal Realm, neither his original body nor the Master of Primordial Yi could possibly detect any abnormalities."

Alkaid understood in his heart.

This will make things easier.

The only problem left is how to "capture alive" the Yu Xiao Immortal King and imprison him in the Lower Realm for an extended period.

"We should start from the Soul Dao, Mind Great Dao, and Illusionary Fantasy Dao, directly trapping his soul and mind in a dreamlike state so that he is completely unaware of his own imprisonment..."

Alkaid pondered.

In his memory, there was indeed a similar Composite Immortal Technique.

For A Dream of A Thousand Years.

Containing the five Great Daos of Soul, Mind, Fantasy, Creation, and Void, even his own Supreme Holy Artifact had not yet possessed the capabilities of the Illusionary Fantasy Dao.

However, that did not matter, considering the stance of the Yu Xiao Immortal King...

"I see that the Gate of the Immortal Realm seems to have been opened once, Your Highness. Did you decide not to ascend when the gate was open, but instead plan to make a grand move in the Lower Realm?"

Alkaid did not answer immediately but asked with a smile.

Yu Xiao Immortal King wasn’t surprised.

In a way, this director was like a tiger that had fallen to the plains.

An immortal spirit of the Seventeen Level like Alkaid, if he were to join under any director, would be heavily utilized, at least securing a department head position would not be difficult, and if he made significant contributions, even a Vice President position could be within reach.

In such a circumstance, before joining under someone, he naturally needed to weigh the pros and cons.

The lord chooses the subject, and the subject also chooses the lord.

"From my observation, the slow progress of the Nine Major Groups in the Ancient Immortal Realm has already sparked dissatisfaction among some, casting this dissatisfaction upon the Master of Primordial Yi, leading to a tendency for him to expand the erosion area. If done quickly, a thousand years; if slow, an era. The great supreme wisdom will project its power into the Lower Realm Starry Sky, thereby completely enveloping the Ancient Immortal Realm. Once the Master of Primordial Yi makes this decision, if we can respond accordingly in the Lower Realm, it will surely be a grand achievement."

Yu Xiao Immortal King looked at Alkaid: "If you work well with me, based on this merit, your authority is enough to rise to the Eighteenth Level. After that, when you enter the headquarters of the Immortal Realm Group, at least you’ll start as the President, maybe even directly enter the board of directors and have a say in the direction of the entire Creation Group."

"Quickly within a thousand years, or slowly within an era..."

Alkaid listened and felt even more at ease.

This proved that the Yu Xiao Immortal King would not be ascending to the Immortal Realm for a considerable time to come.

And the Lower Realm was like the countryside, with extremely inconvenient transportation and communication. His Body of Shao Hua could fully exploit the identity of the Yu Xiao Immortal King to enter the Creation Group or Xi Yu Group and get a quick start.

"Since the Immortal King has such confidence, I shall accompany you to the end."

Alkaid immediately declared his stance.

"Good."

A hint of a smile appeared on Yu Xiao Immortal King’s face: "With the aid of a ’Dao Venerable’ like you, my next actions will be much more convenient. Otherwise, it would not be easy for me alone to develop the Gate of Creation."

"I am originally from the Creation Group, and I greatly admire the various exploits of the Immortal King, so I will naturally do my utmost to assist Your Highness."

Alkaid said, bowing: "Is the next step for the Gate of Creation to replace the Gate of Eternal Life as the number one in the Universe? This process will inevitably require battles on all fronts, and I am willing to be the sharpest sword in the hands of Your Highness, cutting down any who oppose the Gate of Creation."

"Good, then I’ll look forward to your performance. If you do well, I won’t let you down. The experience of ascending to Immortal King, along with the various techniques of an Immortal King, I can teach you all, so that in a few thousand years, you will possess the true strength of a ’Dao Venerable’."

Yu Xiao Immortal King was also not hesitant to promise great opportunities.

The realms of Immortal King, ascension experiences, and numerous Immortal Techniques, although they could be directly purchased or downloaded from the Master of Primordial Yi, they all without exception, require points.

His promise was quite substantial to any immortal spirit at the Seventeen Level.

But for Alkaid...

That was all there was to it.

What he truly cared about was spending time with this Immortal King to understand his habits, and then...

Completing the upgrade of the Great Dao Tower, and, once he was sufficiently assured, directly capturing him.

Now, Yu Xiao Immortal King summoned Chong Guang Dao Lord.

Only at this time did Alkaid learn that this Chong Guang Dao Lord was also an immortal spirit.

Only his level was lower, merely at Sixteen Level.

He was a confidant of Yu Xiao Immortal King.

Of course, his true confidants actually all have Level Seventeen Authority, but they remained in the Immortal Realm Creation Group, waiting for his glorious return.

In the absence of capable individuals around him, he had to bring along Chong Guang Dao Lord, who was of Sixteen Level.

After the two exchanged a few words, Yu Xiao Immortal King slightly reformed the Gate of Creation.

His position as Sect Leader remained unchanged, but he appointed Chong Guang and Alkaid as Vice Sect Leaders.

Among them, Chong Guang managed internal affairs, responsible for Sect development, resource distribution, and intelligence gathering, while Alkaid took charge of external affairs, responsible for combat, and suppressing all dissenters.

Through these arrangements, one could see their respective importance in the eyes of Yu Xiao Immortal King. However, Alkaid was quite satisfied with this arrangement.

He himself was hunting the surrounding Dao Lords and retrieving the shares of the Great Dao in their hands. Now, with several dozen Dao Lords from the Gate of Creation helping him gather intelligence, his efficiency would increase by some measure compared to operating alone.

As for some Dao Lords who heard the news and wanted to join the Gate of Creation, who weren’t easy to directly refine and kill...

It was not a problem.

Once he had the ability to capture the Yu Xiao Immortal King alive, he would naturally wipe out the entire Gate of Creation in one fell swoop.
