Chapter 347: Establish a Dao Alliance? We

“Are the Three Primordial Clans truly reliable allies?” asked the Blessing Immortal.

Emperor Jun had taken the title of “Supreme Solar Lord”; here, the “Blessing Immortal” was naturally Taiyi.

“If I recall correctly, isn’t the Reversed Immortal currently tasked with planting moles among the Three Primordial Clans and stoking their conflicts?”

Taiyi continued: “Under these circumstances, combined with the already poor relations among the three clans, they are in a state ready to explode at any moment.”

“The Great Beast Catastrophe has just passed, so everyone has restrained themselves—but if not for that, I have no doubt they would have gone to war outright.”

Taiyi analyzed the current situation, expressing his deep skepticism toward any alliance between the Three Clans and the Immortal Dao.

After all, the Immortal Dao was still causing trouble for them, and the Three Clans’ relations were far from harmonious—how could they possibly unite?

“Hey, friend, you can’t think like that.”

The Yin-Yang Immortal chuckled: “All things in the world are not simply black or white.”

“Within absolute yin lies yang; within absolute yang lies yin; you within me, me within you—this is the true state of development.”

“We have conflicts with the Three Clans, but that does not prevent mutual cooperation.”

“But sometimes, things go wrong precisely because of ‘you within me, me within you’!” The Blessing Immortal, Taiyi, glanced at the Yin-Yang Immortal with deep implication.

“Cough cough~~”

In the tea house, many immortals lowered their heads and sipped tea.

“I support the proposal of the Three Pure Ones!”

The Immortal of Immortality, Yaochi, suddenly spoke: “This Great Beast Catastrophe has taught us one thing we cannot ignore—that those who follow the Dao gain many helpers, while those who abandon it gain few.”

“The Beasts have a Dao, and thus gathered a force that swept across Honghuang.”

“But the Beasts’ Dao clearly cannot function in Honghuang; our Ten Thousand Races Alliance is the true holder of the Dao, and wherever we go, myriad deities follow us—ultimately annihilating the Beast Clan.”

“Similarly, in our struggle against the Taiwei Yuan, if we wish to unite all possible forces, we must gather allies through the Dao—establish a ‘Dao Alliance’!”

“Dear fellow immortals!”

Yaochi looked around, meeting the gaze of each immortal, and spoke sincerely: “What is the very purpose of our Immortal Dao?”

“To universally guide all immortals, to attain the supreme true fruit!”

“Our mission is to teach and liberate all sentient beings, enabling all races of heaven and earth to attain the supreme Dao fruit!”

“Planting moles among the Three Clans and undermining them serves this purpose; our struggle against the Taiwei Yuan ultimately serves this purpose too.”

“Only the Immortal Dao that raises this banner possesses the greatest appeal!”

Yaochi delivered her speech with passionate fervor; the immortals listened, lost in deep thought.

“I feel like the Immortal of Immortality is glowing,” Taishang whispered sideways to Xuanqing.

“Correct. She truly is glowing,” Xuanqing nodded.

There, the three-flower cat perched atop Yaochi’s head had transformed into a “light cat,” happily swishing its tail.

Beneath the radiant glow, both the cat and Yaochi became sacred and solemn.

“Are you suggesting the best way to ally with the Three Clans or the Ten Thousand Races is to spread the Dao?” Daojun Yuchen seemed to grasp it, leaning toward Yaochi’s idea.

“Exactly!”

Yaochi said: “This is the path that truly aligns with our Immortal Dao’s purpose.”

“All factions have now appeared on the stage of the Honghuang True World—why should others risk dying alongside our Immortal Dao?”

“Only the lure of the Great Dao can draw more allies to us.”

“And our Immortal Dao is fully capable of this great task—we have two Primordial Ancestors and eight lineage masters; this is the direction of the Dao, our greatest advantage.”

“If we don’t leverage such a massive advantage, have we been developing for nothing all this time?”

Yaochi’s words were logical and convincing.

The immortals, upon reflection, all felt she was right.

The Immortal Dao now gathered countless heroes and mighty beings.

Especially after this great catastrophe, everyone had advanced.

Before long, each lineage master would ascend to the Second Realm of Da Luo.

Coupled with the imminent breakthroughs of countless lesser immortals, the Immortal Dao would soon lead Honghuang in both Taiyi Masters and Da Luo Sovereigns!

With such strength, they truly deserved this great mission of spreading the Dao.

“But—”

The Qiankun Immortal rose, his face grave: “The Great Dao must not be lightly transmitted.”

“If aspirations differ, how can the Dao be transmitted? Yes, universally guiding immortals is our purpose—but we must also consider whether sentient beings possess the immortal affinity!”

“Otherwise, even if we transmit the Dao, we’ll face ungrateful wolves who not only fail to thank us but will turn against us at critical moments!”

“If that’s the case, better not transmit it at all.”

“Not so, not so!”

The Gambling Immortal, Jieyin, rose and said: “Though sentient beings possess different roots and capacities, the Dao is myriad, the wondrous methods endless—those with affinity may be saved, and those without may also be saved!”

The Qiankun Immortal shook his head: “We are not discussing the same thing. We are gathered here to deliberate the development of the Immortal Dao, not to debate scriptures with fellow immortals.”

The Complaining Immortal, Hongyun, egged on from the side: “Debating scriptures isn’t out of the question—after all, how the Dao is transmitted directly affects our future development.”

“Friend, stop stirring up trouble,” Renshengguo and Huangzhongli stepped forward and pulled Hongyun back.

Xuanqing said: “Arguing here won’t achieve much—we ultimately need the Dao Ancestor’s decision.”

“By the way, dear fellow immortals, have any of you seen Hongjun?” Xuanqing’s divine sense had scanned every heavenly city but found no trace of Hongjun.

“Oh right!” The immortals finally looked around.

Since the beginning of the Baiyu Jing Assembly, Hongjun had not appeared.

Even Yangmei was nowhere to be found.

If these two did not show up, were they truly expecting us immortals to reach a decision ourselves?

Where was Hongjun at this very moment?

He was strolling through a myriad-world.

“Attention, fellow immortals—ahead lies the Wuyang Great World. Its primordial source has been corrupted; cleansing it will be extremely troublesome. We must reorganize the Three Thousand Great Dao and expand countless laws.”

“Earth Immortal Team, received! We’ve located the Twelve Ancestral Earth Veins, but they are severely damaged—we’ll likely spend considerable time in this world.”

“Ghost Immortal Team, received! Alas, we knew this world was corrupted by a Chaos Demon God’s Dao—but we didn’t expect it to be this severe. The underworld here is already occupied by demonic entities; we can’t even enter!”

“Human Immortal Team, received! Fortunately, we brought the ‘Sword of Mortal Realm’ and the ‘Free-and-Easy Boat’—otherwise, not only could we not wander the mortal world, we might get corrupted by the Demon God’s Dao.”

“Ghost Immortal Team, received! Hahaha, Human Immortal friends, you fear corruption? Who doesn’t know your Human Immortals establish your domain in ten thousand miles of mortal dust, transforming all surrounding life into mortal beings?”

“Who among the Immortal Dao is more corrupted than you Human Immortals? Even demonic entities dare not call you brothers!”

“Hey hey hey, that’s going too far! What do you mean ‘corruption’? That’s the method of generating all things from three, transforming all ages!” argued the Human Immortal Team’s leader.

“Close enough, close enough.”

“No, it’s vastly different!”

Streams of immortal light pierced through chaos, arriving at the Wuyang Great World.

This was an unremarkable great world among the myriad realms. During the Beast Catastrophe, its lord died, and the entire world was corrupted by the Demon of Evil, now teetering on the brink of destruction.

Now, the Immortal Court has detected this place and begun taking over, planning to transform it.

Many immortals had come, covering all major Dao lineages.

Same as always: our Xuan Immortals will connect the past, present, and future of this world’s timeline. You follow closely, entering through each temporal node!

Above the temporal river representing the Wuyang Great World, the leader of the Xuan Immortal Team gave the order; six Xuan Immortals acted simultaneously, their torrents of myriad laws surging relentlessly, crushing all obstacles in their path.

Countless demonic entities lurking above the river had no time to react before being crushed to dust.

“No wonder you Xuan Immortals claim to attain the Dao through sheer power—your overwhelming force is truly impressive!” The Human Immortal Team unleashed the Sword of Mortal Realm, slicing open nodes and swiftly entering the Wuyang Great World.

As they advanced, one terrifying demonic entity after another surged forth, attempting to annihilate the invaders.

Yet, as these demonic entities from different dimensions and time points approached the six Human Immortals, they were instantly assimilated into the Human Immortals’ Dao bodies.

These Dao bodies then stepped into new regions, assimilating other demonic entities.

Thus, the number of Human Immortals multiplied geometrically, like a vast army advancing upon the Wuyang Great World.

“Go!”

After the two teams broke the deadlock, other teams followed suit.

“Come on, let’s bestow some imperishable golden essence upon you all—don’t hold back, just charge forward!” The Jin Immortal Team handled support.

“Blessings without measure, may all things go smoothly for you!” The Shen Immortals immediately granted blessings to their allies.

“This world shall be saved, and we are its saviors—we shall earn the favor of the world’s very will!” the Zhen Immortals declared, transforming illusion into truth.

They redefined the very existence of the Immortal Dao team, eliminating the world’s suppression of “invaders,” even securing unexpected sponsorship.

“Now our work will be much easier!” The Tian Immortals began organizing the laws, crafting the Heavenly Dao by hand, vying for control of the entire world.

“Ghost Immortal friends, it’s time for our coordinated effort to reopen the underworld again.”

The Earth Immortals grinned.

“Used to it—when has the underworld ever been easy to open?” The Ghost Immortal Team, one hand gripping a killing sword, the other holding a soul-retrieving chain, joined the Earth Immortals to control the ancestral earth veins, then followed them into the underworld.

“Push hard! After we’ve developed this world, we’ll be close to ascending to Taiyi!”

This Immortal Dao team had clear goals, rigorous training, and seamless coordination, steadily purging the demonic entities entrenched in the great world and beginning to transform this “ruin.”

“Coordinated use of all Dao fruits, collective governance of the world by myriad immortals—this is truly the correct path!”

Watching the Immortal Court’s immortals cooperate to gradually transform a world on the verge of destruction into a paradise, Hongjun felt deeply comforted.

He had seen such scenes before—not for the first time.

Ever since the Immortal Dao established its “Universally Guide All Immortals” purpose, it soon launched the Great Immortal Alliance Plan. (See Chapter 259)

Tian Immortals govern the Heavenly Dao, Earth Immortals command mountains and rivers, Human Immortals administer the mortal realm.

Immortals cultivate the Dao, transform into primordial divine lords, and establish the Immortal Court; ghost immortals manage the Underworld, govern the yin realm, and guide the souls of the dead.

True immortals are responsible for fabricating all things, continuously repairing and patching this world.

Golden Immortals bestow upon the world a touch of indestructible golden essence, fortifying the foundation of the world and raising its potential for growth.

This plan was refined by a host of great immortals, with the Immortal Court overseeing the entire operation.

Originally, the overall director of this plan was the Emperor of the Eastern Flow.

But after the Immortal Emperor perished twice in great calamities, the final responsibility fell upon Yaochi.

So far, Yaochi has performed exceptionally well.

After prolonged adaptation and experimentation, the immortals of all immortal lineages have gradually become familiar with this developmental model.

Cooperation for mutual benefit and coordinated development have become the norm across the many universes of the immortal Dao.

Indeed, as soon as the great calamity of the ferocious beasts ended, the Immortal Court began preparing to rescue the myriad worlds affected by the disaster.

“The immortals are discussing how to deal with Taiwei Yuan, yet you’ve gone off to hide in peace across the myriad worlds?” Hongjun had barely wandered for long when Yang Mei found him.

“I know they want to form a Dao Alliance.”

Hongjun walked calmly through heaven and earth, attracting no notice from any immortal.

“So what do you think?” Yang Mei asked curiously.

“I must say, the Three Pure Ones and Daoist friend Yaochi both have quite original ideas.”

Hongjun nodded: “Whether uniting the three clans or spreading the Dao among all beings, both are sound paths.”

“But the former carries greater uncertainty; as for the latter, the time has not yet come!”

Hongjun smiled and pointed toward the busy immortals.

“This is the true future of our immortal Dao. Achieving this much is already sufficient.”

“The Great Dao can be transmitted, but not too widely—first, my Hunyuan Great Dao has not yet been fully realized; spreading it too broadly would mislead others; second—”

Hongjun paused, then spoke slowly: “Second, I fear I’ll be making someone else’s success possible.”

Yang Mei chuckled: “Old Daoist, you actually have moments of fear?”

“What’s so strange about that?”

Hongjun remained composed: “Didn’t I once fear Pan Gu just as much?”

“You compare Taiwei Yuan to Pan Gu?” Yang Mei was astonished—clearly, the gods of Taiwei had indeed exerted immense pressure on Hongjun.

Hongjun said nothing.

He merely withdrew half a jade tablet from his sleeve and gently caressed it: “Taiwei Yuan is not to be underestimated.”

“We’ve capsized once already—we cannot capsize again!”

“So, what do you plan to do?” Yang Mei asked.

“First, kill Zu Long!”

“????” Yang Mei froze.

Weren’t we just discussing cooperation?

A flash of sharp light passed through Hongjun’s eyes: “This is the guidance of the Dao—there is no mistake!”

“Contact Daoist Kunpeng and Daoist Diandao—their undercover methods must now be put into action.”

Cooperation?

The internal affairs of the immortal Dao were already complex enough; Hongjun had no desire to add further uncertainty.

Rather than deepen alliances with the three clans,

it would be better to expel them.

Only then could they focus entirely on seizing Taiwei Yuan!

“As for the Dao Alliance?”

Hongjun gazed at the immortals working in unison and smiled: “What I truly wish to establish is Xuanmen.”
