Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The Heavenly Casualty War Hall warship sailed through the wind and waves, its massive bulk swiftly traversing through the sea of clouds.

Along the way, all creatures, whether flying or walking, scattered in alarm.

The wake left by the warship even stirred up small-scale storms that lasted a long time.

After a while, Alkaid, who was in the captain's rest room, opened his eyes.

"We've reached the Shattered Void, but the Great Daos available for choice have only increased from over nine hundred to one thousand and eighty-eight."

He regretted quietly.

Especially since...

Among these one thousand and eighty-eight Great Daos, there was no Destiny Dao.

There was neither the Causality Dao nor the Time Dao.

Among the four Supreme Daos, there was only the Great Void Path, which had derived a vast amount of Dao Techniques.

Because the Great Void Path is the foundation for all Great Daos to manifest.

Without the Great Void Path, the other two thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine Great Daos could not exist, making it the most common and most technique-abundant Great Dao.

This meant that if he chose to base his path on the Great Void Path, he would almost never face a dead end.

"Great Void Path... also called the Space Dao..."

Alkaid diverted a portion of his Divine Sense to focus on the Dao Fruit that had arisen from advancing from Refining Void to Shattered Void.

"Heart of the Void."

When planted in a Cave Heaven, it could provide the foundation for the Cave Heaven to truly evolve into a world.

"World."

Alkaid contemplated the numerous wonders of this "Heart of the Void."

Practitioners in the Hollow Void Realm, based on their True Spirit, who had opened up a Cave Heaven already had the fundamental ability to evolve it into an entire world.

But this world, solely composed of the Great Void Path, appeared like a blank space, devoid of anything but the energy and mass of the initial Chaos Void.

Only as his realm improved might his Cave Heaven eventually evolve into a complete world.

But when exactly this step would happen...

Alkaid had no idea.

Perhaps a Dao Lord, perhaps...

A true Immortal.

However, having the "Heart of the Void," Alkaid could allow his Cave Heaven to prematurely enjoy the privileges of a "world".

He could move any creature or matter entirely into his own Cave Heaven World.

During this period, any increase in the cultivation of any being in the Cave Heaven World would strengthen his Cave Heaven.

If a being in his Cave Heaven ascended to Hollow Void and planted a Dao Seed there, he would share the understanding of the Great Dao with that Hollow Void being.

In other words, he could allow others to cultivate a certain Great Dao to complete his understanding of the Three Thousand Great Daos.

The size of the Cave Heaven, the strength of the beings it could accommodate, depended on his own cultivation and his mastery over the Path of the Void.

"With this, the choice no longer requires hesitation,"

Alkaid thought to himself.

Path of the Void.

He would stick to the original plan, choose the Path of the Void, and plant the Void Dao Seed.

"Once the Void Dao Seed is planted, the power of all Void Category Dao Techniques will be amplified, especially the Lifebound Daoist Art, which will be enhanced in all aspects..."

Techniques such as the Sword of the Void and Void Blink flowed through Alkaid's mind, along with newly emerging techniques like Myriad Calamities of the Void Body, Universe in the Palm, and Instant World Creation.

He deliberated each one carefully and verified them.

In the end...

He still planned to use Void Blink as his Lifebound Daoist Art to nurture the Dao Seed.

Nothing bests speed in this world.

Void Blink possessed that exact capability.

Blink close for a fatal strike,

or if the strike missed, blink a thousand miles away.

Advance forces the attack; retreat ensures the defense.

...

As Alkaid settled on the Dao Seed he would plant, Qi Sha's Divine Sense rang outside the door, "Hall Master, the Demon Lair is ahead."

"Hmm."

Alkaid collected his thoughts.

Planting the Dao Seed would cause a slight tremor in the Cave Heaven, which was not suitable in the deep-sea environment.

He immediately left the rest room, his Divine Sense reaching far off in exploration.

Soon, he sensed anomalies in the ocean currents and quickly perceived a completely empty void.

"Magic Formation?"

Alkaid remarked.

"Yes, even among Demons there are sages who master formation setting, artifact refining, and alchemy. Their methods in artifact refining and alchemy are far inferior to those of our Human Race, but when it comes to formations, utilizing their innate talents, they actually perform better than our race,"

Qi Sha said.

Alkaid nodded.

His gaze surveyed the expanse of void.

Although his expertise in formations was not insignificant, it was only at the Tenth Level.

This level was sufficient for handling Magic Formations against Golden Core Seventh Layer or Eighth Rank cultivators, but it started to strain against a Ninth Rank.

As for formations that could trap a Hollow Void or even affect a Refining Void, those were at the lofty Twelfth Level.

The formation before him, while not reaching the Twelfth Level, was among the top of the Eleventh Level; even a Hollow Void could be in danger if caught within it.

"Let me test it,"

Alkaid said.

"Why should you attend to such a matter personally..."

Qi Sha wanted to show off himself, but Alkaid had already blinked, appearing thousands of miles away in the high sky.

During this process, Qi Sha himself hardly felt anything.

Such a masterful application of Dao Technique astonished this genius of the Hollow Void.

If such advanced mastery of the Void were used in ambushes or assassinations, it would be virtually impossible to guard against.

And moreover...

The idea of gathering all the members of the Heavenly Casualty War Hall to ambush Alkaid had crossed his mind not long ago, and he secretly felt relieved.

Luckily, no action had been taken.

Otherwise, with Alkaid's masterful Dao Technique, how could the mere Heavenly Casualty War Hall trap him?

Not to mention his ability to face three adversaries alone and kill three Great Demons.

It might well have ended up with him leading the Heavenly Casualty War Hall to ambush Alkaid, or Alkaid eliminating him and the entire Heavenly Casualty War Hall on his own.

The Alkaid who had blinked thousands of miles away naturally didn't know Qi Sha's thoughts.

However, intending to have the Heavenly Casualty War Hall serve as his private military force, he didn't mind showing off his talent and strength occasionally.

Otherwise, how could he make others willingly submit to him?

As he arrived thousands of miles away and raised his hand, the golden light transformed from the You Long Sword quickly stirred the Void Force, instantly forming the Sword of the Void, aiming at a portion of the Void obviously containing anomalies and cutting it down.

However, the result surprised him a bit.

He had thought that this Eleventh Level formation might hold him off for a moment, but as the Sword of the Void cut through, the entire formation was instantly torn in half like tofu dregs.

It seemed that inside...

There weren't any decent masters stationed at all.

Not just seemed!

As the formation was cut open, Alkaid's Divine Sense quickly sensed the situation inside this unusual piece of Void.

In a Demon Lair capable of housing and sustaining thousands of Great Demons, there were only a few dozen left, all of the Seventh or Eighth Rank, and no Ninth Rank Great Demons to be seen.

It is known that the Demon Race has a significant relation between the success rate of condensing a Heavenly Demon True Body and the race and bloodline; the so-called Ninth Rank Great Demons are not as rare as the Human Race's Deep Blue Golden Cores, they are only named Ninth Rank when their strength reaches a level comparable to that of a Deep Blue Golden Core.

In this case, all the Ninth Rank Great Demons had already withdrawn from this Demon Lair, leaving only some Seventh and Eighth Rank beings behind; clearly, they had abandoned this nest.

"It looks like the Demon King and Great Demons that attacked me earlier were deployed from this Lair, and probably knowing their assassination failed, they hastily fled, leaving only an empty lair with no powerful demons in charge, so naturally my Sword of the Void shattered this lair in one strike," Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire

Alkaid thought to himself.

This was not difficult to guess.

The Hollow Void Demon King is not a minor character.

And he was in the Deep Sea, not in the unscoured Outer Sea by the Penglai Immortal Sect, not a Demon Lair; it isn't so easy to mobilize three Demon Kings.

As he pondered, he was not surprised and the You Long Sword swept through, quickly slaughtering all the demons hidden within.

After finishing this, he ordered the Heavenly Casualty War Hall, "Clean up the battlefield, then destroy this Demon Lair."

Speaking, he paused, "Then, let's head to the nearest Fairy City for some rest and to exchange for some essential cultivation items."

"Yes."

Hearing the order, the members of the Heavenly Casualty War Hall answered and swiftly moved on their swords, rushing into the Demon Lair.

Some faces still harbored a covert anticipation.

Return to rest?

Exchange some cultivation items?

I wonder if they could share some of the spoils.

Several hours later, Heavenly Casualty War Hall's warship restarted and headed directly for the nearest fairy city.

...

The return journey took over a month.

This was mainly because Penglai Immortal Sect's development of this sea area was too limited.

Additionally, Alkaid considered that since he had slain three Demon Kings, ordinary small fairy cities might not have enough resources for his exchanges, so he deliberately traveled a bit farther to Biyou Fairy City, which wasted a month.

Upon arriving back at this fairy city, Alkaid's mood had completely changed.

Last time he came, he was just a minor Golden Core, chased by several from the Hollow Void, forced to spend a lot of money to rent a dwelling to take refuge in this fairy city, which was quite embarrassing.

But this time, he had not only achieved Hollow Void, but he had also become the Junior Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect among the Ten Great Immortal Paths, leading hundreds from Heavenly Casualty War Hall, carrying the splendid military exploits of having slain three Hollow Void Demon Kings and thousands of Great Demons to exchange for rewards...

The difference was unimaginable.

Just like now, his warship was still some distance from Biyou Fairy City when the guardian of the fairy city, Luli, having received advance notice, had transformed into a sword light and flown over.

"Welcome Junior Sect Leader Alkaid of Heavenly Dao Sect to our Biyou Fairy City."

This Hollow Void figure greeted with Divine Sense from afar.

Alkaid and Qi Sha also showed themselves, "Thanks to True Monarch Luli for greeting us."

"Of course, Junior Sect Leader Alkaid leading a group to the Deep Blue Sea to slay the Demon Race not only expands and fights for our Human Race but also protects the tranquility around Penglai Immortal Sect."

Luli said, then gestured with an open hand, "Please, this way."

Alkaid nodded his head, instructing others to steer the warship towards the skyport designated for docking warships and flying boats, while he and Qi Sha followed Luli into Biyou Fairy City.

On the way, Luli sized up Alkaid, also feeling inwardly astonished.

Who would have thought that the ordinary young man from seven years ago could undergo such a drastic transformation in such a short period?

To not only achieve Hollow Void but also become the Junior Sect Leader of Heavenly Dao Sect, and even lead a team of Hollow Void powerhouses, campaigning everywhere, a meteoric rise indeed.

"By the way, True Monarch Luli, are the supplies in the fairy city still plentiful? We plan to exchange our contribution points for some cultivation supplies this time."

Alkaid asked.

"Junior Sect Leader Alkaid, please rest assured, Biyou Fairy City is one of the largest fairy cities that Penglai Immortal Sect has set up in the Deep Blue Sea, and the supplies there are extremely abundant. Even if a Refining Void were to personally come, they wouldn't dream of buying out Biyou Fairy City in one go."

Luli confidently said.

"Then I'm relieved."

Alkaid nodded his head.

"It seems that Junior Sect Leader Alkaid has slain quite a number of demons. May I ask roughly how many contribution points you wish to exchange?"

Luli asked curiously.

"I haven't calculated it precisely."

Alkaid estimated roughly, "Slaying three Demon Kings, a thousand Great Demons... probably around ten billion or so."
