Come On, Son! You Got to Breakthrough Now!

In truth.

Regarding this rumor, the Taiyi Saint Master actually has no doubts either.

Anyone who understands the existence of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty would not have any doubts about this rumor.

After all.

A mighty figure from the Lower Realm, able to reach such a stage within just a few million years, the claim of having heaven-defying opportunities is beyond dispute.

To reach such heights, relying solely on so-called talent is meaningless.

No matter how strong the talent is.

It is impossible for a Lower Realm powerhouse to reach the point of being able to kill the Three Great Heavenly Venerables within millions of years.

Only by having heaven-defying opportunities can one achieve such feats.

However.

The Taiyi Saint Master also had other thoughts.

But just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed, as a cultivator walked in from outside.

"Reporting to the Saint Master, a Heavenly Venerate from the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty seeks an audience!"

"Let him in."

"Yes!"

...

A moment later.

A figure stepped into the Immortal Palace and saluted the Taiyi Saint Master seated at the top position, speaking neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Gu Cang, Commander of the Imperial Guard of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, pays respects to the Taiyi Saint Master!"

"You are called Gu Cang; are you perhaps of the Gu Family?"

The brow of the Taiyi Sacred Land slightly raised.

If he remembered correctly, the Mystic Sky Immortal Emperor was also surnamed Gu.

Regarding this.

Gu Cang said plainly, "By the Immortal Emperor's favor, I was gifted the surname Gu; moreover, today I come here under the command of the Immortal Emperor himself!"

"I seem to have no dealings with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty; why have they sent you here?"

The Taiyi Saint Master inquired.

Gu Cang replied, "Although the Taiyi Sacred Land and the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty have no dealings, we do share a common enemy, which is the Chaos Holy Land.

I come here to follow the Immortal Emperor's will and seek an alliance with the Taiyi Sacred Land to jointly confront the Chaos Holy Land!"

"Interesting!"

The Taiyi Saint Master chuckled instantly, then looked at Gu Cang with slight disdain.

"Our Taiyi Sacred Land has stood in the Endless Immortal Domain for eons, with countless powerful figures and profound heritage. How can your Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, a dynasty force established only a few million years, have the qualifications to ally with us?

Moreover, offending the Chaos Holy Land is your Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's problem, not ours."

As these words were spoken.

A terrifying pressure suddenly pressed down on Gu Cang.

He felt his shoulders sink as if a billion mountains were pressing down, yet his back remained straight, and fear was nowhere on his face.

"Though the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty hasn't existed for long, the strength of a force cannot be measured by time alone.

Our Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty has destroyed the Blood Shadow Divine Country, annihilated the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, and slain the Three Great Heavenly Venerables of the Chaos Holy Land; our strength is remarkable anywhere in the Endless Immortal Domain.

Such strength is not yours to insult!"

"Furthermore—"

"There's something you might not be aware of."

Gu Cang's words brought the Taiyi Saint Master's face back to calmness.

"What is it?"

"The Chaos Holy Master is in seclusion, attempting to break through to the Nine Tribulations Realm. Should this breakthrough succeed and the Chaos Holy Land's remaining immortal heritage be used, I need not elaborate on the consequences, as you should already understand them.

The Taiyi Sacred Land and the Chaos Holy Land have battled openly and in secret for years. If the Chaos Holy Master successfully breaks through, it won't be just a calamity for our Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, but the same for the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Thus, joining forces to confront the Chaos Holy Land is necessary for both of us!"

Unfazed, Gu Cang directly stated the purpose of his visit.

Regarding Gu Cang's upright bearing, the Taiyi Saint Master was lost in thought.

Breaking through to Nine Tribulations!

This news was indeed unexpected for him.

However.

Upon serious consideration.

The Taiyi Saint Master could understand that this news was likely true.

After all, as far as he knew, the Chaos Holy Master had been at the Half-step Nine Tribulations Realm for many years, so a breakthrough now would not be surprising.

If the breakthrough were allowed, the consequences would be dire.

At this thought.

The Taiyi Saint Master's expression became solemn.

"Is this news true?"

"Indeed!"

Gu Cang nodded.

"The Emperor's intention is to take advantage of the Chaos Holy Master's failure to break through and annihilate him with thunderbolt momentum, eliminating future troubles forever.

Moreover, the Chaos Holy Land holds immortal heritage, which I'm sure you are aware of.

Should we destroy the Chaos Holy Land, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty is willing to forego the Immortal Opportunity and only take part of the Chaos Holy Land's resources!"

"Is this claim true?"

The Taiyi Saint Master's expression changed slightly.

The immortal heritage of the Chaos Holy Land was something he had long coveted.

Undoubtedly.

This statement truly tempted the Taiyi Saint Master.

Gu Cang nodded: "Certainly. If you agree, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty will establish an alliance with you, for compared to immortal heritage, eradicating the Chaos Holy Land is our greater concern."

"Very well, if your words are true, then I agree to this alliance!"

The Taiyi Saint Master nodded.

Hearing his words, a smile appeared on Gu Cang's face.

"Then I shall take my leave now!"

"Farewell."

Once Gu Cang had left.

A Heavenly Venerate immediately asked, "Saint Master, should we truly trust the words of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty?"

"Indeed, though the Chaos Holy Land has immortal heritage, so does the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty. Why go far afield when we can destroy the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty instead? Wouldn't it be more straightforward?

Compared to fighting the Chaos Holy Land, an alliance with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty might cost us dearly!"

Another Heavenly Venerate also spoke.

In their view, with both possessing immortal heritage, it would be much easier to deal with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty than the Chaos Holy Land.

However.

The Taiyi Saint Master had a different viewpoint.

"It's easier to deal with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, but remember, our Taiyi Sacred Land and the Chaos Holy Land are already at odds.

This time, even if we don't act, once the Holy Master breaks through, he will surely target the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Given this, why not act preemptively and solve the Chaos Holy Land threat!"

Rather than passively enduring.

It's wiser to strike proactively.

This is the Taiyi Saint Master's strategy.

However.

The initial Heavenly Venerate maintained a different opinion.

"The Chaos Holy Master's breakthrough might not be true either..."

"Better suspect its existence than disregard it. He's been a Half-step Nine Tribulations for years, and could break through at any time. If he succeeds, it would be the end of our Taiyi Sacred Land.

We haven't acted before because, alone, even if we could destroy the Chaos Holy Land, the cost would be devastating.

But now, cooperating with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty changes everything.

With this force sharing the pressure, the probability of vanquishing the Chaos Holy Land increases greatly.

Even if we can't eliminate them, interrupting his breakthrough will suffice!"

This is the Taiyi Saint Master's real objective.

Even if they can't destroy the Chaos Holy Land, they must hinder the breakthrough.

Instead of contending with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty for their immortal heritage, it's straightforward to deal with the Chaos Holy Land.

There's another key reason: the Taiyi Sacred Land has no significant grudge against the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, even if they eliminate the Chaos Holy Land, they won't necessarily turn against the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Furthermore.

The immortal heritage of the Chaos Holy Land.

If another force claimed they wouldn't touch the immortal heritage, the Taiyi Saint Master wouldn't believe it.

But.

The Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty already possesses immortal heritage, so their disinterest in the Chaos Holy Land's heritage is not surprising.

Though the more heritage the better, once they have one, the desire for another diminishes.

Moreover, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty's foundation is still shallow, whereas the Taiyi Sacred Land has an advantage. If they turn hostile, the latter wouldn't fear the former.

This is why the Taiyi Saint Master is willing to ally with the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

If it were any other force of equal standing, he would hesitate.
