Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 572 - 559 Assimilation

Alkaid scrutinized for a moment before directly approaching one of the several specialized entrances to the gigantic energy shield.

As soon as he neared, a drone-like Dao Artifact flew over, quickly emanating a special energy fluctuation.

This wave transcended the confinement of language; anyone could immediately understand the conveyed message.

"Please report your identity and state your purpose."

Alkaid, without saying much, interfaced using his Seventeen Level Immortal Spirits permission.

In the identification section, he opted for concealment.

"Esteemed Immortal Spirit, welcome to Creation City. As you have not filled in your identity information, we can only grant you Fifteenth Level privileges. With Fifteenth Level permissions… you cannot tour the area of the Thirty-Six Islands group, but you are free to explore all the public areas outside the Thirty-Six Islands, and you may also fly freely below the altitude of the Thirty-Six Islands… I will now open the VIP channel for you, and wish you a pleasant journey."

The drone-like Dao Artifact quickly released a fluctuation that left a trace on Alkaid and then led him to an energy shield node.

Alkaid had already recognized that the entire shield was actually a super Formation!

A Supreme Great Formation of Nineteen Level!

For this reason, he could only follow the areas laid out by the Creation Group, earnestly, with his Seventeen Level Formation skills.

Many Flying Boats and Warships queuing in the distance cast envious, longing looks at Alkaid heading straight for the VIP channel.

However, not a single one harbored jealousy or resentment.

This is because being a "VIP" is almost the lifelong pursuit of all cultivators in this world.

Moreover, Alkaid noticed that every Cultivator entering this Immortal City was required to wear a bracelet.

His Artifact Refining skills allowed him to quickly see that this bracelet could suppress the energy waves within a cultivator’s body.

In other words, any cultivator entering the Immortal City of the Creation Group, without special permissions, couldn’t activate their bracelet to restore their abilities.

Yet even with such restrictions in place, many who entered the city were sought after. As soon as they’re inside, they would stride around with newfound arrogance, basking in the glory.

Those Cultivators who did not pass the verification felt frustrated and anguished, lamenting their lack of effort and the absence of qualifications to enter this top-tier Celestial City.

As Alkaid entered the gigantic energy shield, a wave of dense, pure Spiritual Power hit him.

Though these forces of Spiritual Power did not match the level of the Floating Islands, they were not far off, and cultivators below the Shattered Void Realm could make rapid progress here.

"Just like the poor villages of backward civilizations and the top cities of powerful nations, the villages toil and struggle, earning less than ten thousand a year. Meanwhile, even the street cleaners in top cities start at several hundred thousand, no wonder everyone tries every means to live in the top Celestial Cities and strives to join the Nine Major Groups."

Alkaid surveyed around the city.

Due to the vast expanse of the city, spanning tens of thousands of miles, and the Suppressing Bracelets in place, Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void Realm cultivators could not fly here. Hence, the city had a good transportation system.

Besides that, there were countless spots within the city designed for leisure and enjoyment.

These structures were all suffused with the style of the Chaotic Origin Realm.

That is, the style of the Nine Major Groups.

Given the extreme power of the Nine Major Groups, these buildings inevitably carried an artistic and aesthetic appeal in the eyes of those from the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Especially some of the significant and iconic constructions – countless cultivators from the Ancient Immortal Realm came to adore and observe them.

After a while, Alkaid was drawn to a sculpture park and descended.

Almost the instant he alighted, the park’s maintenance staff hastily reported his arrival, and not before long, a middle-aged man with Shattered Void Realm cultivation hurried over to receive him.

"Respected guest, welcome to the biography park of the great past presidents and directors of the Creation Group. Would you like me to clear out the park and ask other lower-permission cultivators to leave?"

"No need."

Alkaid said, his gaze shifting towards the statue of Yu Xiao Immortal King: "I’ll just look around; find me someone with professional knowledge for the explanations."

"Your every request shall be fulfilled."

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully and quickly summoned a Refining Void Realm young female cultivator, full of life, to explain the life achievements of Yu Xiao Immortal King to Alkaid.

While Alkaid attentively listened to the somewhat nervous explanation from the Refining Void female cultivator, the Shattered Void Realm middle-aged man voluntarily started to clear the surrounding visitors of the park.

Although he did not expel all the onlookers, he kept them from approaching the area Alkaid was in, to prevent their presence and words from offending this distinguished guest, who holds at least a managerial VIP status in the Creation Group.

His actions did not elicit even the slightest dissatisfaction among any of the visitors present.

Everyone looked at Alkaid from afar with genuine respect, awe, and poorly concealed envy.

Alkaid sensed these gazes but did not react much.

"Creation Celestial City."

As Alkaid listened to the employee’s account of Yu Xiao Immortal King and browsed the Virtual Immortal Realm’s introduction to the city, he learned that Creation Celestial City had a population of some three-hundred billion, with Hollow Void Realm cultivators making up thirty percent.

Settling in this city was extremely demanding; the requirement that stopped 99% of cultivators was to reach the Hollow Void Realm.

Although becoming a Hollow Void Cultivator was much easier in the Immortal Realm than the Lower Realm, that too was confined to a few Celestial Cities. In smaller cities neglected even by the Nine Major Groups, it might take thousands of years to witness the emergence of even one Hollow Void Cultivator.

Countless Hollow Void Realm cultivators formed the ordinary class of Creation Celestial City.

Of course, there were also some Golden Core cultivators claiming to join teachers and relatives, muddling their way into the Creation Celestial City.

```

They are the true bottom of the society, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, with no guarantees for their livelihood.

Cultivators from the Hollow Void Realm moving upward are Refining Void Cultivators — generally able to secure decent positions. A minority of the more shrewd will even manage low-level roles, considered the middle class.

Only upon reaching Shattered Void are they likely to truly become the elite of society.

But even that’s just doing relatively better. To buy a Great Dao Share and achieve Integrate Dao is still next to impossible.

It’s only by joining the Creation Group...

Even as a common employee, you’re essentially leaping over class barriers, holding a sliver of possibility to purchase a share of Integrate Dao and contend for the title of Dao Lord.

And above that is the true Dao Lord.

Such a figure, if in the outside world, could easily rule a nation, and even in Creation Celestial City, which is akin to the power hub of the Creation Group, they are still seen by all Cultivators as being capable of life or death decisions.

No matter how outstanding your talents are in your own city, even if you’re hailed as a chosen Holy Maiden, once you offend such a powerhouse, your fate hangs by a thread.

For the vast majority of cultivators, a Dao Lord is the highest echelon they can aspire to access.

As for Immortals and Immortal Venerables...

They have reached beyond the realm of imagining for the ordinary Cultivator.

In Creation Celestial City things are a bit better; out in the wider world, not to mention ordinary Cultivators, even Hollow Void Realm Cultivators may never see one in their lifetimes.

"In the Creation Group, there are tens of thousands of Dao Lords, over ten thousand Immortals, and hundreds of Immortal Venerables... Even if we assume everyone in Creation Celestial City is from Hollow Void, among a million people there is only one Integrate Dao."

Alkaid withdrew his consciousness and refocused on the statue of Yu Xiao Immortal King.

Out of the corner of his eye, he spotted some Cultivators from Creation Celestial City sneaking glances at him.

These people...

Have fully accepted the rule of the Nine Major Groups.

To them, who rules seems hardly to matter.

Even Alkaid himself cannot articulate who’s right or wrong between Primordial Source Realm and Ancient Immortal Realm.

But what’s crucial is...

Should Primordial Source Realm prevail, Ancient Immortal Realm would cease to exist.

Everything would vanish, devoured by the Primordial Source Realm along with the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The victory of the Primordial Source Realm isn’t about domination, it’s World Annihilation.

And this leaves him no choice but to resist to the end.

"The preparations by my real body in the Lower Realm are nearly complete. Now it’s time to pay a visit to those ’old friends’ at the Creation Group."

...

Lower Realm Starry Sky.

With the Great Dao Tower in hand, Alkaid, under the admiring eyes of several Dao Lords, breached the alliance comprising of about twenty Dao Lords.

After this battle, the influence of Creation Sect pushed unchallenged across a hundred billion light-years north of the galaxy.

Within this vast territory, no other power dared to oppose the will of Creation Sect.

"Alright, food must be eaten bite by bite, roads traveled step by step. Let’s stop here for now. I hear there are resistance forces gathering in the south? Once they’re amassed, I’ll lead the charge to eliminate them all in one go, so they can’t hide and scatter, making me waste energy finding them one by one."

Alkaid proclaimed.

"Following the Sect Leader’s decree."

The Dao Lords behind him bowed and paid their respects.

At that moment, a Messaging Dao Device on Alkaid shook slightly. As he activated the device, a Divine Sense quickly transmitted a message: "Sect Leader Alkaid, an Immortal Spirit has joined us and brought astonishing news: our greatest adversary, the Gate of Eternal Life, had already been annihilated three hundred years ago. I want you to investigate what exactly happened there."

The sender was none other than Yu Xiao Immortal King.

"Gate of Eternal Life..."

With the vastness of the Universe, the news of the destruction of Gate of Eternal Life taking three hundred years to arrive was not strange.

Feeling the variety of achievements from refining the Great Dao Tower over the past hundred years or so, a slight smile appeared on his face.

A thousand-year grand dream, just about ready.

He immediately responded, "It just so happens that I recently received a message related to the Gate of Eternal Life, unclear for transmission, I will report directly to Your Highness."

"How long will it take for you to come over? I’m not in the Sect but at this location."

Yu Xiao Immortal King sent Alkaid coordinates.

On seeing the coordinates sent by Yu Xiao Immortal King, which were less than two billion light-years from Northern Sea Star, Alkaid’s pupils constricted: "Your Highness, why have you traveled so far?"

"I have subordinates reporting that a person of Venerable Dao Level has been spotted here. Claimed to have, alone, eradicated over one hundred and fifty Dao Lords, I am quite curious to know which undying Immortal Spirit this is."

Yu Xiao Immortal King spoke.

Alkaid, in light of this less than twenty billion light-years from Northern Sea Star coordinate given by his Highness the Celestial King, remained slightly indifferent: "Since it’s a Dao Venerable, it would be safer for us to head out together. Please wait, Your Highness, I will be there shortly."
