Chapter 705: Battlefield of the Alien Races
Su Yu harbors hostility towards the Dongchu Clan, but regarding the Hundred River Immortal Alliance, there is more curiosity. This force can come into contact with things far beyond the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance, like the various channels connecting to the heavens in the Hundred River Immortal Domain, suppressing countless foreign battlefields.
Although most of these battlefields are guarded and suppressed by the Heavenly Court's soldiers, some smaller ones, with weaker foreign tribes, are managed by forces like the Hundred River Immortal Alliance.
The Tianlong Mountain base of the Infinite Immortal Palace actually suppresses a vast foreign battlefield, connecting to a powerful alien world.
However, even such a place, the Heavenly Dragon Mountain Master would not let Su Yu approach. Such places are not yet within Su Yu's reach to manage or guard.
Upon leaving seclusion, Su Yu personally welcomed the Vice Alliance Hierarch, Immortal Che Jian, from the Hundred River Immortal Alliance into Panlong Lake Earth Ridge Immortal City.
The Old Dragon accompanied them.
As a Vice Alliance Hierarch, Immortal Che Jian is quite unique in the Hundred River Immortal Alliance because he is a Loose Cultivator who became the Vice Alliance Hierarch, showcasing his capability and strength.
Although Immortal Che Jian's aura is restrained, Su Yu could sense after a brief observation that his cultivation is at least at the Taiyi Profound Immortal level, much stronger than the three Taiyi True Immortal Elders of the Dongchu Clan.
A Taiyi Profound Immortal visiting, naturally Su Yu would not snub him.
Entering the Immortal Palace within the Earth Immortal Mansion, Su Yu invited Immortal Che Jian to sit, and instructed Fan Xiao to serve Immortal Tea and Immortal Fruit as refreshments: "Please enjoy the tea, Elder Che Jian."
"Thank you for your hospitality, Young Friend Su." Immortal Che Jian, with a gentle disposition, did not leverage his status or cultivation to overpower others. After sitting down, he sipped the tea, his eyes gleaming: "This tea is exceptional."
Indeed, exceptional.
This is tea nurtured by Su Yu through the Life Immortal Path, imbued with hints of the Immortal Dao Origin.
Su Yu smiled: "If the elder likes it, you can take some back later. Although the yield is not abundant, it's enough for occasional enjoyment."
Immortal Che Jian was delighted at the words: "Haha, then I won't be polite. You know, I'm a lone cultivator, unlike those big houses. I often rely on you fellows for sustenance."
Su Yu chuckled silently; this Vice Alliance Hierarch from the Hundred River Immortal Alliance has an intriguing character, easily closing the distance and generating goodwill.
"What brings you here this time, Elder…"
"Oh, I almost forgot the main matter." Immortal Che Jian patted his forehead, pulling out an Elder Token from the Hundred River Immortal Alliance and handing it to Su Yu: "This was resolved in the recent Elder Council of the Hundred River Immortal Alliance, to pass this last Elder Token to the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance."
Seeing Su Yu not immediately taking the token, Immortal Che Jian placed it down first, and slowly explained the special nature of holding an Elder position in the Hundred River Immortal Alliance.
"Across the whole Hundred River Immortal Domain, the Immortal Alliance establishes only ten Elder positions. This is no ordinary seat; it carries substantial power and benefits, as well as hefty obligations."
"First, in terms of power, a force with an Elder seat in the Hundred River Immortal Alliance can convene an Immortal Alliance meeting anytime, proposing various matters, such as external force provocations, alien issues, or if you discover some opportunity that you're unsure about managing alone. The Alliance can assist, and the gains could be split, with your part ranging from thirty to fifty percent, for you alone."
"Also, for instance, if the East Sea Sea Clan Demon Clan provokes you, wanting to act against you, they have to consider whether our Immortal Alliance agrees. Their intention to attack you amounts to declaring war on our Hundred River Immortal Alliance; everyone will stand by you, and everyone must act, or face expulsion from the Hundred River Immortal Alliance."
"Beyond these, in terms of resources, you can select suitable battlefields from the alien channels and battlefields guarded by different parts of the Immortal Alliance. Some of these resources are quite substantial, even enviable to the Heavenly Court, and this privilege is exclusive to Immortal Alliance Elders."
"As for obligations, this includes defending certain troublesome alien battlefields for the Immortal Alliance or the Hundred River Immortal Domain. If any Alliance battlefield encounters issues, under the Alliance's directive, you must act to quell the threat, and cannot shirk from duty."
Immortal Che Jian explained thoroughly, including the Heavenly Court's leadership under which the Hundred River Immortal Alliance aids in defense.
The Heavenly Court is the indisputable dominion of the Human Clan in the Immortal World, upheld by even the three Saints.
Why?
Because behind its glory, the Heavenly Court bears the heaviest responsibility for the Human Clan.
All fierce and malevolent foreign tribes are mostly suppressed by the Heavenly Court, guarding those numerous foreign battlefield channels, filled with countless Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.
This is the status, honor, and supreme Immortal Court prestige earned through blood!
Immortal Che Jian looked at Su Yu and said: "I understand; the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance may not be very powerful yet. Indeed, it lacks some foundation for an Elder seat, but with the support from that figure behind you, I believe you can bear this Elder position and its responsibilities."
"Of course, whether to accept or not is for you to decide."
After pondering for a while, Su Yu finally reached out to take the Elder Token; he was not too worried about safety. Probably, there's no existence in the Taiyin Immortal Realm capable of killing him.
He had the protection of the Lower Realm's Realm Master Origin, backed by numerous trump cards, leaving little to fear.
Besides, the dangerous areas are already guarded by the Heavenly Court; the Hundred River Immortal Alliance only manages the edges.
If Immortal Che Jian and their forces can handle it and benefit, obtaining resources, there's no reason the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance or Earth Immortal Mansion could not.
Moreover, using the smaller alien battlefield channels managed by the Hundred River Immortal Alliance to gain deeper insights into the secrets of the Immortal World could be quite beneficial.
"It's worth a try. However, for the specifics of what needs to be done, I'll need to seek advice from the elder." Su Yu made a formal gesture to Immortal Che Jian.
Immortal Che Jian smiled, stood up and said: "Of course, when Young Friend Su refines this Elder Token, a year later, the Hundred River Immortal Alliance will convene another member assembly. By then, you will know what to do, and which resource sites and places to guard you will be assigned."
"In that case, I will await Young Friend's honored arrival at the Immortal Alliance."
"No need to see me off."
Immortal Che Jian departed, leaving Su Yu holding the Elder Token, turning to look at the Old Dragon: "What do you think?"
The Old Dragon shrugged: "It's likely they came to offer this benefit to you, considering the favor of the Infinite Immortal Palace Taoist."
"In reality, the alien battlefield channels guarded by the Hundred River Immortal Alliance all have Immortal Arrays laid by the Heavenly Court's experts; they are relatively safe."
"Some places are resource-wise even better than some treasures in the Immortal World. Joining the Hundred River Immortal Alliance would bring countless benefits to the Yellow Court Immortal Alliance, Earth Immortal Mansion, and the Master."
"Of course, caution is necessary. Some places, even for the current Yellow Court Immortal Alliance, and for me, are quite dangerous. It's essential to guard against their potential dark intentions."
Su Yu reflected silently, contemplating whether, becoming an Elder of the Hundred River Immortal Alliance, he could command the Dongchu Clan, letting them taste the despair of being bullied by power.
After all, so many alien battlefield channels need guarding; having the Dongchu Clan contribute more, taking on several major battlefield channels, seems reasonable.
As for revenge? Such notions are mere absurdities, the pettiness of interpreting others with a villain's heart.
This is for the greater plan of the Human Clan in the Hundred River Immortal Domain, a duty every Immortal Alliance member should bear!
