Closing the panel, Su Yu gently exhaled and ordered the fleet to rest on the spot.

At this moment, the Celestial God Association’s branch had already been overrun, only a few stragglers remained unable to stir up trouble, the revival point remained, but few Celestial God Association members revived here, likely returning to their headquarters instead.

This place was the original headquarters of the Thousand Feather Association, and Su Yu transmitted to Ding Lingyu to receive the defenses.

He could tell that both Ding Lingyu and Ding Hao had the intention to fully integrate into the Thousand Star Hall, but he did not share this idea and planned to let them exit after dealing with the Celestial God Association.

Su Yu had decided long ago that a fourth main group wouldn’t appear within the guild, three were sufficient.

After the fleet stopped here, it did not move again, waiting for five days during which another 200,000 came from Ten Thousand Poison Island, bringing the total to 400,000, nearly half of the Thousand Star Hall’s total population.

But still no action, the troops remained stationary.

Ordinary members were puzzled while the guild’s higher-ups understood the situation.

On the sixth day, a team from the Celestial God Association came from the Blue Mountain, seeking an audience with Su Yu.

Su Yu received them in the newly renovated hall in Thousand Feather City.

There were seven people in total, three Loose Immortals, with the middle-aged man solemnly asking:

"Vice President He Yuqing of the Celestial God Association, ordered by the President to visit President Su Yu. Your guild suddenly launched an attack on our association and declared a full war against us. Is this true?"

"Correct."

Su Yu raised an eyebrow and said blandly.

He Yuqing’s expression quickly became more severe, he asked solemnly:

"Our Celestial God Association is millions of kilometers apart from the Thousand Star Hall, and there’s neither a collision of interests nor enmity between us. Why suddenly launch a war against our association?"

"Does President Su Yu know this is merely one branch of ours? Our headquarters and main strength are in the Endless Forest. Our official members number nearly two million, with over a hundred Loose Immortals, most being Inner Sect Disciples of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect. Our guild leader is a direct disciple of Xuanzhen Immortal Sect’s previous generation, widely connected, can invite hundreds of Loose Immortals to assist at any time."

"While your guild has been established for less than ten years, though personnel are sufficient, there are only a dozen Loose Immortals. Please pardon my directness, but I’m curious about what gives your guild the courage for a full-scale war with our Celestial God Association."

Not waiting for Su Yu to answer, He Yuqing cupped his fists and bowed:

"The contention between two associations leads to unnecessary casualties. Our association does not wish to increase the death toll. If your guild withdraws now, our association can pretend this never happened."

Su Yu listened, tilting his head, unveiling a smile only after He Yuqing finished speaking:

"Our association mobilized tens of thousands. If we withdrew due to your words, we’d be laughed at."

He Yuqing’s face gradually turned colder, and his voice turned icy:

"Does President Su Yu intend for a deathmatch with our association?"

He looked towards the lower Ding Hao and said:

"Because of them? Is it necessary for millions to die over them?"

Su Yu stood up, waved his hand, and said:

"Firstly, let me correct a misunderstanding. The main reason for declaring war on the Celestial God Association is not because of them. Like you said, it wouldn’t be worth such a price over them."

He Yuqing asked confusedly:

"Then why?"

"I have enmity with your association!"

"What enmity?"

"First, years ago your association attacked a demon nest in Demon Ape Demon Country, I watched from afar, you cleared the field without notice, nearly killing me."

"Second, Thousand Feather Association is where I originated, you annihilated the Thousand Feather Association solely for competition, this is the second grievance."

"Third, Ye Xiyi belongs to your association, he similarly attempted to plot against me for competition, but insufficient preparation prevented success."

"Fourth, your Celestial God Association maliciously competed to monopolize the Tongming branch’s Teaching Heart Skill, using off-field methods to suppress other disciples, including destroying their originating guilds and families, which is quite atrocious, truly a sect’s bane. I will not allow this."

He Yuqing: ???

He understood the former points, but the last made him laugh instead.

"You managed quite broadly, one not knowing might think you’re the sect’s Dao Child!"

After finishing hearing this, He Yuqing knew there was nothing left to say, stood up and coldly said:

"Our President was considering President Su Yu as a fellow sect member, sending me to persuade, but since President Su Yu is obstinate, let’s show our true strength under fire. May President Su Yu’s mouth remain firm when our association’s army stands before Ten Thousand Poison Island in the future."

"Farewell!"

With a wave of his large sleeves, he turned and left.

Su Yu did not stop him, smiling as he watched his figure disappear, then beckoned to Ding Lingyu.

Ding Lingyu immediately walked over, and Su Yu said:

"I have a task for you."

"The Celestial God Association’s malicious competition suppression definitely doesn’t target only you. You should return to the sect, contact those Tongming Sect Members who have been suppressed, and gather evidence of the suppression. It’s best if someone can testify, and ideally, collect sufficient evidence within ten days. I have important use for it."

Ding Lingyu immediately accepted:

"Alright, I’ll return right away."

"Do you have the sect’s teleportation symbol? Directly teleport."

"I have it."

"Okay, go ahead."

Su Yu gestured for him to leave and, after a brief contemplation, said to Gu Zhiqiu:

"The fleet should stand by for now, wait for my orders to depart."

Gu Zhiqiu nodded in agreement but did not immediately leave. Su Yu noticed his expression was somewhat hesitant and asked:

"Is there anything else?"

Gu Zhiqiu nodded and said:

"Though our association is powerful and possesses three super floating immortal ships, as he just mentioned, Thousand Star Hall has been established for over a hundred years, with much deeper resources than ours. They can gather hundreds of Loose Immortals for support, and we fall far short at the top tier of combat capability. Can we win?"

Su Yu laughed heartily upon hearing this and said:

"Can many sheep defeat a fierce tiger?"

"No need to worry; I’m fully confident."

His confident demeanor was infectious, and the worry disappeared from Gu Zhiqiu’s face. He clasped his fists and briskly left.

Then, Su Yu issued several orders, the fleet waited on the spot, then he transformed into a beam of light and disappeared into the horizon.

More than three hours later, a magnetic light appeared in Blue Sea City, then transmitted back to the sect.

Upon returning to the sect, Su Yu immediately sought an audience with his master ancestor, informing him of the conflict with the Celestial God Association, firmly declaring:

"I wish to hold the Daozi ceremony, to publicly execute my role as Daozi!"

Master Xuanwei said in a deep voice:

"To dare turn one sect into a single family is indeed treacherous. This matter will be supported by the Sect Leader and everyone in the sect; you can proceed boldly."

"Regarding the Daozi ceremony, preparations have already begun before you, it can be held anytime; you may decide for yourself."

"Disciple wishes to hold the Daozi ceremony a month from now."

"No problem!"

Three days later, a command from the Sect Leader shocked the entire sect and soon spread across the entire Blue Mountain Archipelago.

"Disciple Su Yu, outstanding in virtue, refined in cultivation, has built a super-grade Immortal Foundation. Reporting to the ancestors, he is specially conferred as the sect’s Daozi, granted the title Shao Zhen, ranking first among our disciples, with the authority to oversee and assess disciples, granted an Immortal Island in the Profound Truth Cave Heaven, and supplied with Daozi ceremonial instruments. The Daozi ceremony will be held in a month, announcing to all sects in the world!"

As soon as this announcement was released, Su Yu’s personal communication was immediately overwhelmed with countless messages.

Countless acquaintances and strangers alike sent their congratulations.

"Super-grade Immortal Foundation, Immortal Sect Daozi!"

He Yuqing, who had recently returned from Feixing Island, was stunned upon hearing this news, and after a long while, murmured:

"No wonder he dared declare war on the Celestial God Association, this is why!"

Another senior member of the Celestial God Association coldly glanced at Jiang Lang and spoke to the young man seated in contemplation at the top:

"President, that Su Yu is actually the sect’s Daozi, how should we handle this? Do we continue the fight or..."

"I think we should continue the fight, what does being a Daozi matter? A Daozi can’t equate to several regiments, association battles depend on overall strength. What difference does it make if he’s strong alone? He may be a Daozi, but our President was once a True Successor."

He Yuqing hesitated a moment and said:

"But he is still the sect’s Daozi, with authority to oversee disciples of this sect. We still have to operate within Xuanzhen Immortal Sect, offending him wouldn’t be beneficial."

"What of it? He’s just a newly promoted Daozi; his reputation hasn’t been established yet. Can he compare to the President?"

Other senior members of the Celestial God Association in the hall nodded in agreement:

"Indeed, what does being a Daozi matter? Our association has operated in the Tongming branch for so many years; he, a newcomer, wishes to command and dictate?"

All senior members of the Celestial God Association had lively discussions below, soon reaching a consensus to engage in a confrontation with Thousand Star Hall.

The President of the Celestial God Association, Tang Xingye, who had been sitting at the top, came to his senses and said:

"Don’t act for now, wait until after the Daozi ceremony."

All the senior members nodded:

"Then we’ll wait until after the Daozi ceremony."

"Additionally, find an intermediary and initiate another discussion with him."

"I’ll handle the arrangements."

The matter of the Xuanzhen Immortal Sect hosting the Daozi ceremony spread throughout the entire sect within two days, and a week later, the entire Blue Mountain Archipelago and all sects and forces Eastern, Western, Southern, and Northern seas received the news. Numerous invited sects sent representatives bearing lavish gifts, preparing to attend the Daozi ceremony.
