Chapter 1263: The Plan to Expedition the Ancient God Domain, Peering Beyond Dao Merging

The Immortal Gate and the Badaxian Sect engaged in fierce debate over the post-war situation, occasionally switching to physical debate, the two sides clashing again and again in the starry sky.

In the end, the Badaxian Sect truly had no way to break through the Immortal Gate's formations, and the Immortal Gate did not dare step a single step out of the Nine Spirit Realm, not even daring to split forces to garrison the home star.

The two sides ceased fighting and once again began discussing the necessity of an alliance.

The two sides waged a war of words, arguing fiercely, all manner of viewpoints, all manner of reasons.

In the end, an entirely new Heavenly Dao Alliance Pact emerged.

This Heavenly Dao Alliance Pact condensed the strongest curse-binding power the Jiudaxian Sect currently possessed; within several thousand years, violators would pay the price of at least severe injury and near-death, and it was not merely a flimsy sheet of paper.

The Immortal Gate yielded half of the Nine Spirit Realm, and the remaining Minor Thousand Worlds were to be based on the current actual territorial boundaries.

With the Heavenly Dao Alliance Pact signed and completed, the atmosphere on both sides eased considerably, no longer looking as if swords were drawn and bows bent.

Only the great power of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace wore a sullen face.

The interests of the Brother Xuanwu Heavenly Palace had not been satisfied.

In the Nine Spirit Domain they had only ten Minor Thousand Worlds, and in the Jiao Jiao Mingyu they had only a little over twenty Minor Thousand Worlds, far fewer than any single Xianzong, unable to match the sect's strength.

He was unwilling, unreconciled.

However, the other seven great powers did not support him.

He alone was far from able to oppose the Dongji Demon Gate, so he could only endure.

"Sigh!"

"The Nine Spirit Domain... truly is a wretched place!"

The great power of the Wuxingtian Sect sighed and said: "First the Great Sun Sword Pavilion, and now you few bastard sects."

"If the Wuxingtian Sect had been born in another domain, by now it would probably have swept across all directions, occupied multiple domains, no longer mutually slaughtering and consuming each other in such a stalemate."

The surrounding great powers shook their heads slightly.

"Fellow Daoist Wuxing speaks reason; the path of internal warfare, slaughter, and annexation is indeed not an easy one."

"We can look outward."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong took out an ancient, unadorned scroll, unfurling a painting that displayed a vast starry sky map, upon which countless stars bloomed with light; even at the center of the star map, three Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie blazed with dazzling radiance, any one of them far surpassing the Nine Spirit Realm.

These three Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie circled together in the neighboring starry sky, like a ring of worlds.

"Do you all know where this is?"

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong asked.

He was mainly asking the Immortal Gate.

Because the other great powers wore calm expressions, clearly already knowing — this was one of the important reasons they were unwilling to fight to the death.

Beyond the domains, the starry sky was equally full of promise; there was no need to fixate on the Dongji Demon Gate, bristling with thorns.

Moreover, the Dongji Demon Gate's military formations were indeed terrifying; if the Dong

ji Demon Gate joined the formation of their eight, their strength would greatly increase — they had experienced and missed this many times during the campaigns in the Jiao Jiao Mingyu.

"The Ancient God Dao?"

Yuan's heart gave a start.

This was a direction the Immortal Gate had not yet begun to explore; the life-and-death internal war had tied up a great deal of energy, leaving no leisure to attend to other matters.

"Fellow Daoist is as detestable as ever, to actually know."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong sighed lightly.

The Tianji Dao's greatest love was to crush with superior intelligence, to suppress and blockade information, and then lay out plans with perfect ease.

"Is it the young friend?"

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong looked toward Jiang Ding, his expression kindly: "Might you let this old man see the Ancient God Token? The object that flew out from the Yama Hell Yin-Yang Inversion Equal King Grand Formation that day?"

The Immortal Gate fleet's collective will deliberated for a moment.

"What the senior requires, naturally there is no objection."

Jiang Ding bowed respectfully.

Then, an ancient, unadorned token flew out from the military formation and landed in the hands of the great power of the Tianji Xiangong — a white-haired, accomplished high cultivator holding a counting chip.

In terms of appearance, these male cultivators seemed to prefer the look of an old cultivator — mature and steady — while female cultivators preferred a young and beautiful appearance; there was a great difference.

"The Ancient God Dao, the Ancient God Token."

"In the past, the sect that reached its peak of power in this domain was called the Ancient God Dao; the Horned Demon Imperial Clan... the Black Horn Ant Clan, the Bleeding Skull Vine Yao Clan — these Dao Merging forces were all its servants; its strength could be called terrifying."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong carefully studied the Ancient God Token in his hand and introduced to the crowd: "The Ancient God Token is this sect's method of seeking inheritance disciples."

"Its tokens are divided into Yin tokens and Yang tokens."

"The Yang token is for true disciples; there are high requirements regarding background, temperament, and whether one's talent is a fit — they are the sect's mantle heirs."

"The Yin token is the same as the Yang token; at least the guiding emissaries and the like cannot tell anything apart."

"However, it is said that cultivators holding the Yin token, at some moment when the disciple has fully matured, will be body-snatched by some eerie existence within the Ancient God Dao, completing the replacement silently; some of the replaced will undergo a great change in temperament, but most are entirely as before — chilling to the bone."

"It is just unknown whether the young friend's is a Yang token or a Yin token."

The great power of the Tianji Xiangong shook his head.

He divined the coordinates of the two realms the Ancient God Token pointed to, returned it to Jiang Ding, and no longer paid attention to the token.

Jiang Ding did not dare accept it.

The Immortal Gate fleet projected a beam of light, collected the Ancient God Token, scanned it again and again, and planned to scan it for a hundred years before returning it.

"Senior's Tianji Dao is truly admirable."

Yuan said admiringly.

The central array spirit computer could also do this, b

ut it required a large amount of clues — analyzing the various inheritances of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan, analyzing and reverse-deducing from the various ruins left behind — only then could it be sorted out.

The divination arts of the Tianji Xiangong were simply like creating something out of nothing, shocking to behold.

"Merely trivial tricks."

"Some of those were deals with Jiao Jiao Mingyu; I deliberately held back when besieging him, unwilling to fight to the death."

The great power of the Heavenly Secret Xiangong revealed a mischievous expression.

"This..."

Yuan was stunned.

Is this something that can be said face-to-face?

Although the Immortal Gate also held back, using great strength to guard against the Badaxian Sect and prevent them from striking secretly, because these people had no shred of trustworthiness.

"Hahaha!"

"It was merely a joke, Daoist friend need not take it seriously."

The great power of the Heavenly Secret Xiangong smiled gently: "Jiao Jiao Mingyu was originally the territory of the Ancient God Path's subordinates; over three hundred thousand years ago, a great calamity struck their sect, so two slave races betrayed them, slew their master, slaughtered all the Ancient God Path disciples, and dominated this realm."

"To this day, they have never returned."

"Therefore, I conclude that the Ancient God Path must not yet have recovered its strength, or perhaps is already extinct, and there may not even be any existence above the Dao-Integration realm remaining."

"This is our opportunity."

"Yuan,"

The great power of the Heavenly Secret Xiangong's eyes held endless longing: "My intention is to launch an expedition to the Ancient God Realm, the one possessing three Zhong Senior Qian Shi Gao Jie; if there is any existence above the Dao-Integration realm within it, we shall perish, or retreat to continue accumulating strength until we cultivate to the peak of the Dao-Integration realm."

"If there is no existence above the Dao-Integration realm in the Ancient God Realm,"

He revealed killing intent.

"Then, our few families shall part ways, each seeking a direction to expand, expand, expanding until the limit, expanding until we cultivate to the realm above the Dao-Integration!"

"If the realm is vast enough, it would be best if you and I never meet again in our lives."
