Chapter 598 - 585: Trap
"So soon!?"
"It's said that the native cultivators sent a formidable figure, leading elite forces to uproot the influence of major groups in the Lower Realm amid their difficulty in communication. Both Sun and Stars Group and Changsheng Group suffered losses."
Xuan Qing, Chairman of the Board, responded.
"Oh? Who is it?"
"It should be the leader of those native cultivators—the disciple of Tianming Immortal King, Turn-Heaven, an Immortal Venerable who deeply investigates the Reincarnation Path."
Xuan Qing, Chairman of the Board, said, "Although Turn-Heaven hasn't Ascended to Immortality as an Immortal King, that's because our Nine Major Groups occupy the Reincarnation Path's share in various ways, preventing him from acquiring enough shares to become an Immortal King. In terms of realm, he should already be considered at the Immortal King Level."
He added, "Our Immortal Spirits in the Lower Realm, without the computational power support from Master of Primordial Yi, solely rely on their realms to Ascend to Venerable Dao, thereby dominating invincibly. If we allow the native cultivators to Ascend as Reincarnation Immortal Kings, they might be able to send some Immortal Venerables, and even nearly fallen Immortal Kings to the Lower Realm through 'Reincarnation Rebirth,' elevating them to Venerable Dao Level as well. Our actions in the Lower Realm would then become extremely difficult."
Alkaid, upon hearing this, couldn't help but think of the inheritances of the Reincarnation Path set up by forces like Sun and Star Sect and Longevity Sect.
It was to occupy shares to prevent the native cultivators from using "Reincarnation" for rebirth.
"It seems like this 'Turn-Heaven' Immortal King is quite remarkable. Both Changsheng Group and Sun and Stars Group have Immortal Kings in the Lower Realm, right? And he uprooted them all?"
Alkaid asked tentatively.
"Ultimately, it's the last resistance of the native cultivators. Their overall strength genuinely doesn't lag behind any of our Nine Major Groups. If we set aside the power of Master of Primordial Yi, none of our groups could single-handedly beat this resistance joined into what's called the Ancient Immortal Alliance."
Xuan Qing remarked somewhat emotionally, "They are fully shielded by Destiny and Causality, even could be said to be cherished by the last fortune of the Ancient Immortal Realm; within them, they possess three powerful Holy Artifacts! It's precisely with these three artifacts that some Immortal Kings from our groups tried several times but failed to capture their key figures."
"Is it that they weren't captured, or was the plan ruined by disunity?"
Alkaid asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Xuan Qing, Chairman of the Board, also gave a bitter smile, then added, "Let's not speak words that don't aid unity. It's not about disunity, but causality and destiny that led the plan astray."
He gestured upwards, "After all, both the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect are hanging in the skies of the Immortal Realm, powers we have yet to fully comprehend."
Alkaid looked towards where he was pointing.
For a time, he couldn't discern whether he was pointing at the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect, or the omnipresent Master of Primordial Yi.
"Human hearts."
Alkaid murmured quietly.
"Alright, as Master of Primordial Yi steps out of the Immortal Realm, dispersing his power towards the universe starry sky outside the Immortal Realm, this process will undoubtedly share a significant amount of computational power. This is our chance to strike at Tian Yu Immortal King, and to ensure absolutely no failures… it's best if you, as the newly ascended Void Immortal King, act as the bait to lure out Tian Yu Immortal King."
Xuan Qing said, "Tian Yu might guess that your sudden appearance might be a trap, but no matter how meticulously he calculates, he definitely won't foresee that our high-level executives in Creation Group have already reached a unanimous agreement—to assist you against Tian Yu Immortal King!"
The Chairman of Creation Group smiled slightly, "In the face of absolute power, all else becomes irrelevant."
Alkaid listened and nodded.
Unless Tianyuan Group also comes out in full force, no matter how well-prepared Tian Yu Immortal King is, he won't be able to withstand a joint attack by all experts of Creation Group.
During this period, directors of Creation Group had already used various methods to make Yuan Kun Immortal King ignore Tian Yu Immortal King, making the entire plan perfectly foolproof.
"I need a reason to leave Creation Group acting as bait, don't I?"
Alkaid said.
"Of course, the reason is that you've received information about a solo-operating Void Immortal Venerable! Codename Black Leaf, possessing over three hundred Void Shares, he's worth the risk!"
Xuan Qing said, adding, "This Black Leaf Immortal Venerable truly exists, has some fame among Immortal Spirits, but with Master of Primordial Yi watching, Immortal Spirits are forbidden from killing each other. Plus, this Immortal Spirit is very cautious, with very few knowing his whereabouts. We've had our eyes on him for a millennium, and using him now to lure Tian Yu Immortal King into our plan is perfect."
"It looks like you've already arranged everything very meticulously."
Alkaid nodded slightly.
"Of course, since we've signed the agreement, all our directors will do their utmost. Be prepared, when the time is near, you will secretly leave Creation Group, appearing to be waiting for Master of Primordial Yi to descend to the Lower Realm, and when the Immortal Realm's monitoring power diminishes, strike at Black Leaf Immortal Venerable."
Xuan Qing explained, smiling, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. When Tian Yu Immortal King receives this news through his secret channels, he'll definitely want to be the oriole, totally unexpected that the real oriole is someone else."
"Very well."
Alkaid nodded slightly.
Indeed, his impersonation as Yu Xiao Immortal King to come to Creation Group was the right move.
Staying in Creation Group every day, with the entire board of directors providing shares and cultivation resources, assisting his rapid growth.
Casually achieving the status of Immortal King of Time and Void Immortal King.
Now, his plan was to target the Tian Yu Immortal King and take over nearly four thousand Void Great Dao Shares in one fell swoop to become the foremost person in the Void Path, and everyone in the Creation Group worked together to make the arrangement.
Xuan Qing, Director Alpha, Reverse, Turn-Heaven, which of these Immortal Kings, did not diligently fulfill his requests, working tirelessly and uncomplainingly?
For two thousand years, Creation Group had been revolving around him alone.
Such a privilege was something Xuan Qing could never enjoy even after serving for many years as the chairman.
Where could one find such a grand opportunity?
...
Three years.
For ordinary people, especially students, it represented the entirety of their junior or senior high school years.
It embodied most of their youthful memories.
But for those who had ascended to the status of Immortal King, it was merely a moment, quietly slipping by.
As the descent of the Master of Primordial Yi drew near, the board of directors of Creation Group, composed of various Immortal Kings, converged once again.
Everyone gathered around Alkaid, smiling warmly.
"Seeing Yu Xiao Immortal King look so spirited reassures me."
"Hahaha, with the power of both Time and Void, confronting Tian Yu Immortal King would be trivial."
"With Tian Yu Immortal King's death, Yu Xiao's directorship and the acquisition of nearly four thousand Void Great Dao Shares will definitely make him the strongest in our Creation Group, truly a cause for celebration."
The directors each expressed their goodwill.
Their actions and words already revealed who the true protagonist was.
At this moment, even Xuan Qing, the chairman, couldn't compare to Alkaid in status.
Alkaid understood the enthusiasm of these directors and responded with a cupped fist salute: "Thanks to everyone, without your help, I, Yu Xiao, couldn't possibly have reached this step so quickly. Rest assured, once Tian Yu Immortal King is dead, our agreement will be formally executed, and no matter how many points I receive from the Master of Primordial Yi, everyone will have a share. If all goes well, we could all elevate our authority to Level Nineteen."
"Level Nineteen Authority."
Turn-Heaven director couldn't help but feel sentimental: "I've been stuck at the Eighteenth Level for thirteen million years, and during those thirteen million years, my authority progression hardly budged, only during the war with the Ancient Immortal Realm did it begin moving again... Should I miss this chance to ascend to Level Nineteen..."
The other directors nodded in agreement.
To them, all achievements within the Ancient Immortal Realm were fleeting.
Even if they could become peerless Immortal Kings in the Ancient Immortal Realm, as the Chaotic Origin Realm completely engulfed it, integrating the Three Thousand Great Daos, the so-called peerless Immortal Kings would vanish into thin air.
It's the elevation of authority that mattered.
"We all have a bright future."
Xuan Qing said, looking at Alkaid: "You should go and eliminate Black Leaf Immortal Venerable now, and also acquire another three hundred Void Great Dao Shares, Alpha, once Alkaid departs, reveal this news to Tian Yu Immortal King."
Director Alpha nodded: "Outsiders don't know that our Creation Group has now unified as one. They still think we are as before, openly and covertly scrambling for power."
He smiled at Alkaid: "Before Yu Xiao Director became a Void Immortal King, Tian Yu had approached me, offered various benefits hoping I could provide information about you. I played along, maintaining this contact, and recently when you achieved Void Immortal King, Tian Yu was more anxious. This news will definitely make him ecstatic and he will undoubtedly offer me more benefits."
Adjacent, Reverse director chuckled: "I think, you should directly ask Tian Yu Immortal King to exchange several hundred Time Great Dao Shares for this information, and then transfer the shares to Yu Xiao Director. It's a win-win-win situation."
"That was my intention."
Director Alpha waved an empty hand, openly displaying his negotiation with Tian Yu
