Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

"Alkaid alone?"

This remark caused Zhao Xuanbing to be slightly startled, but he quickly understood its meaning, "Are you saying... that he alone could avoid being assassinated by five to six Martial Saints?"

"You clearly haven't taken the report I submitted when I returned from Dayu seriously, otherwise, you wouldn't have asked such a question."

Ji Pingtian said indifferently, "What you really need to ask isn't whether he can avoid being assassinated by five to six Martial Saints, but rather... if he can defeat five to six Martial Saints joining forces."

"Impossible!"

Zhao Xuanbing said without hesitation, "Two fists can't match four hands, the Heavenly Divine Martial Saints are strong, but the gap between Martial Saints and Grandmasters isn't that wide.

I fear even our strongest Hong Chuan, facing the siege of five to six Martial Saints, would not be confident in defeating them, unless someone assists from the side, holding off others, giving him the opportunity to defeat the five or six Martial Saints one by one."

"Zong Yan once said something well, 'Do not use our ordinary eyes to judge the achievements of those peerless geniuses.'"

Ji Pingtian reflected and after a while, continued, "And Alkaid... whether it's Zong Yan or me, we have both concluded that he is a peerless genius that appears once every century. If he can get the opportunity to study further at the Artifact Sect, he will at the very least become a high-rank cultivator in the future."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanbing and Hong Chuan, the two chairpersons, looked at each other in astonishment.

They knew that Ji Pingtian placed great importance on Alkaid.

They too felt the same way.

They would check any information about him at the first instant, evidently treating it as a top priority.

But...

They never expected that Ji Pingtian's evaluation of Alkaid would be so high.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Stronger than Hong Chuan, the strongest among the three chairpersons?

"Didn't you last time... end up at a stalemate? Moreover, it wasn't a fight to the death, and you didn't use your handy Divine Weapon."

Zhao Xuanbing said, "If you use a Divine Weapon in a life-and-death duel, defeating him should be easy for you, so why... "

Hong Chuan also looked at him, waiting for his answer.

"That's what I thought at the time, but when I analyzed again how he broke through my Dragon Elephant Dominating after, I found that his use of combat skills and control of the battle situation were not at all inferior to mine. Plus, given that his strength was less than mine, strictly speaking, I had already lost."

Ji Pingtian looked at them, "Moreover, you have also verified it again; he really only trained for one year, to achieve such accomplishments in just one year... who among us can confidently say they can defeat him another year from now?"

"What you mean is..."

"We need to buy him some time to grow."

Ji Pingtian said, then directly proposed, "Our Rebirth Society will come forward to protect Dayu, not give Shangguan Xiong the chance to cause trouble."

"Impossible!"

Zhao Xuanbing responded solemnly, "We cannot directly confront Red Star."

After speaking, he added another sentence, "Nor are we able to confront Red Star."

"That is up to the two chairpersons' next choice."

Ji Pingtian's expression was grave, "Whether to obey the council formed by various countries and noble families, focus on securing a spot to go to the Artifact Sect, or to place your hopes on Alkaid, the once-in-a-century peerless genius."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xuanbing and Hong Chuan exchanged glances, their moods evidently heavy.

If they didn't have this message from Ji Pingtian, they would naturally follow the original goal, making getting to the Artifact Sect the priority, but now...

Red Star and Snow Dragon seemed to have lost contact with the Artifact Sect.

This left them no room for further consideration.

"The two of you, I would like to remind you that due to Fang Lu's affair, we have had some unpleasantness with Alkaid, and this time, by holding back Shangguan Xiong and buying time for Alkaid's growth, we will have our last chance to mend the relationship. Otherwise...

if he truly soars high in the future and steps into the realm of high-rank cultivators, all the glory will have nothing to do with our Rebirth Society."

Ji Pingtian said gravely.

"I understand the reasoning, but this Alkaid..."

Zhao Xuanbing frowned and delicately said, "Is too hot-headed... "

"Isn't hot-headedness what defines youth?"

Ji Pingtian directly interrupted him, "I think, you just need to remember how Alkaid exterminated the Liao Family over the Xia Wuyuan incident to see his character."

He looked at them, "Fundamentally, he had no close relationship with Xia Wuyuan. At the beginning, Xia Wuyuan was even hostile towards him, but... you have also seen his actions in the end. So, do you think, if we truly decide to bet on him, will we lose everything?"

Xia Wuyuan.

This name, as well as his entanglement with Alkaid, suddenly emerged in the minds of the two chairpersons.

It also became the key factor in their decision-making.

Then, Hong Chuan said in a deep voice, "With the size of the Rebirth Society, even if we stand before Red Star, we might not be able to withstand it for long, especially if we truly stand out and go against Red Star. Many countries might withdraw one by one, so..."

"One year should be sustainable."

Ji Pingtian said.

As a chairperson himself, he had of course made the calculations, "As long as we handle it well, without loudly proclaiming the slogan to obliterate Red Star and keep up appearances, withstanding one year is absolutely within reach."

"One year?"

Hong Chuan and Zhao Xuanbing were visibly moved, "Do you have so much confidence in him that one year will be enough?"

Ji Pingtian didn't speak, but just nodded slightly.

"One year!"

Hong Chuan and Zhao Xuanbing looked at each other and decided, "Then let's do as you suggest!"

"No matter how powerful Red Star is, our Rebirth Society is not made of paper; I refuse to believe that facing their pressure, we can't even hold out for a year."

The pair nodded in agreement.

"Alright, leave the rest to me. I will personally lead a team to Dayu to support Alkaid."

Ji Pingtian said, "No matter how much influence Shangguan Xiong has—and he might persuade the surrounding nations to send seven or eight Martial Saints—it's the limit. Once I arrive, and have five to six Martial Saints with me, before Shangguan Xiong dares to rashly drive me away, he would not dare to make any hasty moves. And during this back-and-forth...

it might end up being delayed for a year and a half."

Hong Chuan and Zhao Xuanbing nodded slightly.

...

Emperor Yu's Mountain.

Situated beside You Long Creek, Alkaid quietly felt the surging vigor of the mountain veins continually washing over his body.

By now, it had been a month since he started his retreat on Emperor Yu's Mountain.

With the mystery of the Life Force Field, he had reached a new plateau in both physical strength and the cultivation of Divine Intent.

Furthermore, he had long since grasped the mysteries of the Flawless True Body...

The Martial Saint, Divine Intent, and Primordial Chaos techniques could be said to be advancing side by side.

He could feel himself improving every moment.

This continuous sensation of growing stronger left him intoxicated.

However, Zong Yan, Lei Yun, Pang Long, Su Yizhou, and the others were unaware of the changes happening to him.

At best, they could only feel that the pressure emanating from Alkaid was becoming more intense, and standing before him gave them the illusion of confronting an ancient fierce beast.

Even Zong Yan, the Martial Saint, was not an exception.

At this moment, with the coverage of the Life Force Field, the blood within Alkaid's body completed its circulation and returned to calm.

"Perfection."

He announced softly.

Blood replacement Perfection.

At this point, his physique had become unprecedentedly strong.

Even if shot at close range by a handgun bullet, at most it would leave a red mark.

If he fully activated the Life Force Field...

Not even a red mark would remain.

"Next, is to patiently cultivate Divine Intent, and allow it to grow stronger."

This step was not difficult for him either.

It was merely a process that naturally unfolded with time.

The difference was just how much time it would take.

At this time, Alkaid felt something and suddenly looked up.

Soon, he saw a middle-aged man dressed in a red robe, step by step, walking out from the woods.

Upon seeing him, even though Alkaid's strength had greatly increased, he still felt a chilling sense of horror.

It was as if he was being stalked by some terrifying, cold creature, caught in omnipresent danger.

The man in red approached step by step and eventually stood in front of Alkaid.

The two looked at each other across the stream.

After a moment, the man in red licked his tongue, "A hint of Domain?"

His gaze continued to size up Alkaid, "Very perfect, I can't see through it at all."

Through the Perception Secret Technique, the red dots that represented abnormal qi and blood were clearly visible to Alkaid.

"Rebirth Society?"

He voiced out.

"Suppose you could say that," the man in red casually replied, "To integrate so perfectly into this body, you must be no minor character. Which sect do you belong to?"

"Shouldn't you introduce yourself before asking others questions?"

Alkaid responded.

"Me?"

The man said softly, "You may call me Blood Weeper."

Blood Weeper!?

The Demon Lord Blood Weeper!?

"No!"

Alkaid exclaimed, "This isn't your true body."

The man in the red robe was daunting, and his presence filled Alkaid with a harrowing sense of danger.

But...

The man himself was not powerful.

The contradictory sensations of immense strength and weakness mingled within him, creating a glaring paradox.

"The main body is inconvenient to descend, I am but temporarily making use of a body. Moreover, Blood Weeper is merely an identity I use here. Out of respect for one possessing such a technique... I am willing to reveal my true name...",

The man in red bowed to Alkaid, performing a special gesture, "Soul Commander of the Sixth Fleet of the Moon Demon Empire's Divine City's Conquest Army—Leng Tianfeng."

Moon Demon Empire?

Divine City?

The Conquest Army!?

These unprecedented terms caused Alkaid's pupils to slightly constrict.

Observing that Alkaid did not return the gesture, Leng Tianfeng, the man in red, frowned in displeasure.

His gaze held a trace of surprise as he scrutinized Alkaid once more.

"Was there a problem with the descent?" he muttered after a prolonged inspection.

After shaking his head again, he added, "Regardless of whether there was an issue or if you've forgotten something, my visit here was merely a courteous warning. This world is now the hunting ground of our Sixth Fleet. I would prefer not to see any more unpleasant incidents like what those little ones experienced. Otherwise...

no matter what sect you come from or your background, your end result will still be the same..."

He extended a hand towards Alkaid's head and flicked his finger, mimicking the sound, "Boom."

Having said this, he seemed poised to turn and leave.

"Wait."

Alkaid called out, "There are some doubts I haven't yet clarified."

After a moment, he shook his head again, "Never mind, I'll figure it out myself."
