Chapter 784 - 393: The Exalted and the Advanced Cultivation Tower (Part 2)

Everything was as Huang Yi had anticipated. When Chi Mo and Sheng Mu entered the Hall Master’s office, they both couldn’t help but present an invitation after briefly sensing the wonders of the Basic Meditation Room.

"What is this from you two?"

Lin Qi looked at the invitation letters from Chi Mo and Sheng Mu, both Divine Fusion High Tier great powers, filled with surprise.

He was already quite astonished by the arrival of these two Divine Fusion High Tier great powers, but he hadn’t expected them to also offer invitations simultaneously.

These two invitations were more like gift lists than formal invitations. Besides inviting the Black Obsidian Martial Arts Hall to join their team to occupy a premier planet, they suggested heading to the universe’s center, the Initial of the prime life planets, to jointly occupy a Mysterious Land.

By joining the team, one could directly receive Alliance Coins. Chi Mo offered 1.2 trillion Alliance Coins, while Sheng Mu provided 1.5 trillion Alliance Coins. Moreover, even after joining such a team, members were not forced to act together, leaving actions entirely to the individuals’ discretion, akin to joining a small alliance exclusively composed of Divine Fusion High Tier great powers.

"Hall Master Lin, you have just stepped into this circle, so it’s normal not to know," Sheng Mu explained with a kind smile. "At our level, ordinary resources and cultivation environments no longer hold meaning. To progress further, there are only a few places in the entire universe where it can be achieved. And with the vastness of the universe, it’s impossible to establish oneself in these places with one’s Strength alone, hence the necessity to unite to have a chance of surviving in those regions."

"And regarding the invitations made by Chi Mo and me, Hall Master Lin, you can join both or neither. After all, the places our teams integrate into differ, as do the goals. For instance, I’ve joined four teams. As long as there is no conflict of interest among them, you can join as many as you want. It’s entirely up to what kind of aspirations and goals you have, and whether they align with the team’s objectives."

"So it involves finding like-minded individuals to improve together?" Lin Qi, listening to this, suddenly understood why both of them extended invitations simultaneously, displaying great calm, without appearing antagonistic towards each other.

"That’s right," Chi Mo nodded, smiling as he spoke, "Achieving the status of a Demigod is exceedingly difficult, and everyone lacks different things, thus having different pursuits. Take our team of seven, for instance. Our target is the unique resources of premier planets, while Sheng Mu’s team is likely focused on the cultivation environment, aiming to establish themselves on the Initial to secure a better cultivation setting. If both our teams’ goals match your pursuits, you can join both. Plus, it won’t be long before many teams approach you with invitations."

"If I join, won’t these teams worry about retaliation from the Imperial Country?" Lin Qi asked curiously.

Myriad Dragon Star, being a premier resource planet yielding cosmic treasures, is unlikely to be easily conceded by the Imperial Country for our taking, even if it’s just a small portion snatched by Lin Qi and his allies. Furthermore, when Lin Qi leaves Blue Star for elsewhere, the Imperial Country might send people to deal with him, implicating his companions is very plausible.

"Retaliation from the Imperial Country?" Chi Mo couldn’t help but laugh. "Don’t worry, Hall Master Lin; although the Imperial Country is formidable, our Starry Sky Commerce is also one of the top ten peak forces. Following investigations, we can confirm that none of your people have reached the Divine Fusion Realm. Although the Imperial Country is displeased and even threatened to deploy three Five-Star God Generals to Myriad Dragon Star, our Violet Realm Venerable has declared that if the Imperial Country can’t sustain a loss here, he wouldn’t mind personally expelling all of their people from Myriad Dragon Star."

"The Venerable has spoken?" Lin Qi was taken aback upon hearing this.

The Venerables are beings second only to the Demigods in the entire universe. Although their Martial Arts level is only at the Divine Fusion High Tier extreme, their Strength is already beyond what any Divine Fusion Realm being can contend with.

The inability to confront them arises because Venerables typically have achieved completion in at least ten Demigod Secret Ultimate Techniques, essentially stepping halfway into the foundational threshold of Laws.

Although unable to construct their form with Laws like Demigods or naturally form a Law World to wield the power of an entire world for combat, they can build a Law Domain, amplifying their Strength tenfold or even several dozen times—no Divine Fusion Realm power can afford to provoke them.

Demigods stand aloof and rarely interfere in affairs. Hence, in the universe’s significant powers, matters are managed by these Venerables, and formidable races like the Evil Demon Race, or those aspiring to become major universal powers, have succeeded due to having a Venerable stationed amongst them.

"Indeed, the Violet Realm Venerable has a fiery temper," Chi Mo said with a grin. "Moreover, with fourteen Secret Ultimate Techniques reaching the Realm of Perfection, Violet Realm Venerable ranks among the strongest even among Venerables. The Imperial Country has only a few who could counter him, and such entities are unlikely to oppose the Violet Realm Venerable just for Myriad Dragon Star. So rest assured, Hall Master Lin, this matter has concluded here."

"Fourteen Demigod Secret Ultimate Techniques reaching the Realm of Perfection, you say?" Lin Qi couldn’t help but exclaim in astonishment.

After reaching the Divine Fusion High Tier extreme, the strength gap largely hinges not only on the physical aspect but significantly on how many Demigod Secret Ultimate Techniques have reached the Realm of Perfection.
