Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 460 - 446: Intentions
Time kept flowing.
In the Southern Region, numerous core personnel were constantly arriving at Heavenly Dao Sect through the Transmission Formation, busily preparing for Alkaid's succession ceremony.
During this period, Alkaid also received quite a few responses.
Many forces, similar to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, agreed to trade a portion of top-tier Dao Artifact materials with Alkaid.
And they were all very generous, stating that trading at the original price would suffice.
Although this meant there could be a potential price difference amounting to several billions...
They at least formed a good karma.
If there were matters in the future that required appeal to that mysterious Artifact Sage, there would also be a reason to speak up.
Of course, there were some who came because of the high price set by him, willing to sell top-tier Dao Artifact materials.
However...
With plenty of forces willing to create good karma, Alkaid naturally became selective.
Unless it was of especially good quality or could even serve as auxiliary materials for Immortal Artifacts, he generally was not interested.
...
"Nine portions of top-tier Dao Artifact materials, two portions of Immortal Artifact auxiliary materials... about five hundred billion will need to be spent."
Alkaid did a quick calculation.
Spending five hundred billion to buy these materials...
Seemed a bit of a loss.
However, taking into account that these materials were things other forces were originally unwilling to sell, an overprice of nearly two hundred billion seemed reasonable.
"Besides these nine portions of top-tier Dao Artifact materials and two portions of Immortal Artifact auxiliary materials, in the resources previously given to me by Penglai Dao Lord, there are two useful portions of Immortal Artifact auxiliary materials and sixteen portions of top-tier Dao Artifact materials I can use... The rest, unless I want to craft a Dao Artifact of the Origin Dao type, do not fit well with the materials."
Alkaid did a quick inventory.
Counting the Abyssal Ruins Mysterious Crystal, one main Immortal Artifact material, four auxiliary Immortal Artifact materials, twenty-five main top-tier Dao Artifact materials, and hundreds of top-tier Dao Artifact auxiliary materials...
That was almost enough.
"Just missing one main Immortal Artifact material... However, this main material... Taiyi Immortal Sect has it, but I need to talk face-to-face with that 'mysterious Artifact Sage'..."
This concern was similar to Heavenly Dao Sect's.
The Dao Lord of Heavenly Dao Sect also wanted to talk with him.
However, unlike Heavenly Dao Sect, the one Taiyi Immortal Sect wanted him to communicate with was not a Dao Lord, but an Artifact Sage from the Shattered Void Realm!
This...
Provided some room for maneuvering.
The Dao Lords he dared not meet, but with an Artifact Sage from the Shattered Void Realm...
The Dao Techniques derived from the Great Dao of Truth could keep those who had not yet achieved Unity sealed tight-lipped.
The Great Dao Golden Book had such power.
Just adding a clause to the Great Dao Golden Book preventing that Artifact Sage from Taiyi Immortal Sect from revealing any information about the background of the "mysterious Artifact Sage"...
Should keep it a secret for some time.
And just waiting another hundred and eighty years, by then he would have completed the Dao Artifact forging using his integrated essence and spirit and would proceed to the depths of the starry sky to attempt Integrate Dao. By that time, even if the news of him being the mysterious Artifact Sage got out, he could ensure his own safety without concern.
"Integrate Dao,"
Alkaid murmured these two words.
He could now fathom the mysteries of Integrate Dao, but...

The success rate was too low.
Walking the path of a Human Immortal, having cultivated his own "Dao," then attempting Integrate Dao, was like having three top-tier Dao Artifacts to help him mitigate the risks of Transform Path, which gave him the courage to truly try and push toward the Unity Realm Stage.
"Integrate Dao is arguably the biggest transformation on the cultivation path, this transformation, even allowing my cultivation for the first time to catch up with the realm I possess..."
Alkaid smiled.
Yeah.
After achieving Integrate Dao, he would try using "Dao Lord" or leveraging "Artifact Refining" and "Businessman" branches to advance the progress of Integrate Dao - Void.
If all goes well...
He should catch up with the Dao conflict eight or nine hundred years later?
With this thought in mind, he continued with the preparation work for the forging of the Endless Tower.
...
While Alkaid's succession ceremony and the trade of top-tier Dao Artifact materials were causing a stir at Heavenly Dao Sect, far in the Extraterritorial Starry Sky.
On a planet specially used for communication by the Yin Moon Sect.
There were two vast Divine Senses situated on this planet.
And the masters of these two vast Divine Senses...
One was the greatest support of the Yin Moon Sect, the Hei Yue Demon Venerable, a Dao Lord achieved through the Darkness Dao.
The other...
Was Penglai Dao Lord's greatest enemy, yet squeezed to the extreme limits of survival space, the Jade Kirin Demon Saint.
These two Integrate Dao Level existences were waiting with utmost patience.
After all...
Their true bodies had yet to arrive on Northern Sea Star.
Even if they wanted to do something, they could only start by discussing it.
"Buzz buzz!"
Just then, two powerful Divine Senses appeared one after another simultaneously on this planet.
Bearing the unique charm of Integrate Dao, these Divine Senses were enough to make any perceiver in the Shattered Void Realm involuntarily bow in greeting.
However, all the arrivals belonged to the Unity Realm Stage, so no one exhibited any surprise.
"Abyssal Ruins, Light has arrived?"
Hei Yue Demon Venerable greeted.
Following that, somewhat unexpectedly, "Isn't Yuan Yi coming?"
"Saying something about the Ten Great Immortal Paths being branches of the same root, unwilling to fight under the same roof...Ha, I see it as nothing but a coward, once beaten by Penglai, completely lost the courage to confront them again, truly unworthy of being a Dao Lord."
Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord scoffed.
"If he's not coming, then so be it. With the power of our four great Unity Dao, this mission is still absolutely fail-safe."
Hei Yue Demon Venerable remarked indifferently.
"Light also can't make it, he's still far from Northern Sea Star."
Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord said.
Suddenly, Hei Yue Demon Venerable and Jade Kirin Demon Saint both turned their gazes to the person known as Light among the Divine Race's Dao Lords, "Seeing Alkaid has killed so many elites of your Divine Race in the extraterritorial starry sky, are you just watching this happen without any concern?"
"If it were possible to wait a hundred years, I would personally handle it, but in such a short time, I indeed cannot return."
Light Divine Venerable said.
"A hundred years is too long. According to the information I received, Jun Tian is also on his way back. In a hundred years… if he returns during this period, it will only add to the uncertainties."
Hei Yue Demon Venerable said.
"Light can't return in a short time? Yuan Yi is unwilling to take action, are you intending to leave me and Hei Yue to deal with Penglai? You, Hei Yue, practice the Darkness Dao and once you escape into the darkness, even Penglai would find it very difficult to deal with you. You have excellent survival capability, but me? Just relying on myself to resist head-on? Heh, if I could withstand it, I wouldn't be hiding all the time! Is there no hope then?"
Jade Kirin Demon Saint expressed dissatisfaction.
"Jade Kirin Demon Saint, keep your impatience in check. My action speed will inevitably be extremely fast; just hold on against Penglai for a moment, and that mere Alkaid... Naturally, it will be easy to capture."
Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord said.
"Alkaid has become the Sect Leader of Heavenly Dao Sect, and he will certainly be stationed there. Inside the Heavenly Dao Sect is the Golden Book Venerable, that Immortal Artifact Spirit nurtured over countless years. With him there to hinder you, do you think you can break through the Heavenly Dao Sect and capture their Sect Leader in an instant?"
Jade Kirin Demon Saint aggressively retorted.
Following that, he said, "You few, Light and Hei Yue are driven by vengeance, and you, Abyssal Ruins, are after his trillion-level monetary assets and that Artifact Sage… oh, and your desire to kill off a genius of the Void path. Only I am here specifically for Penglai Dao Lord, but if just to annoy her and make her investment go to waste, I have to risk my life… I beg your pardon, but I refuse!"
"Demon Saint, proposing that you and Hei Yue Demon Venerable jointly hold off Penglai might be somewhat dangerous, but once Penglai Dao Lord acquires a top-tier Dao Artifact, your situation will become even more miserable… For the sake of future, it's worth a shot…"
Hei Yue Demon Venerable also followed with persuasion.
But before he could finish his words, Jade Kirin Demon Saint had already started to scoff, "In the future? Then Penglai this session will definitely enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm, and if I can't provoke her, can't I still avoid her? Once she enters the Gate of the Immortal Realm, the whole Penglai Immortal Sect will be slaughtered! No one shall survive, and I will still be able to avenge the humiliation!"
Hei Yue Demon Venerable and Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord listened, frowning.
Behind Alkaid, the mysterious Artifact Sage was forging a Dao Artifact for Penglai Dao Lord, who would certainly accompany and guard him throughout the whole process. They had to act against Alkaid, the mysterious Artifact Sage, and the materials worth hundreds of billions, making an inevitable confrontation with Penglai Dao Lord.
If there were no Jade Kirin Demon Saint to resist head-on…
Hei Yue and Abyssal Ruins, not adept at direct combat, couldn't stop this Dao Lord's breakthrough.
By then, he would take Alkaid, the mysterious Artifact Sage, and many top-notch materials and just leave.
But for them all…
Every single one of them would likely face endless retaliation from Penglai Dao Lord.
Yin Moon Sect would be doomed.
As for Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord himself…
Unable to seize this opportunity, he might even be killed on the spot by Penglai Dao Lord, while forcing the respected Artifact Sage to help him refine a top-tier Dao Artifact and gamble with his life.
After all, he was aging, with his combat power greatly diminished, and unlike Jade Kirin Demon Saint, he didn't have the backing of the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals or a place to hide.
This mission was such that only success was allowed, not failure.
"Alright, alright, since we are all gathered here, it's clear that we stand on the same front and want to take a chance."
Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord spoke and turned his gaze toward the Light Divine Venerable, "The issue now lies with your Divine Race; do you have a method to resolve this?"
After speaking, he added another line, "Seven Divine Emperors have died, including the next likely heir of your Light Divine Race who would have ascended to Integrate Dao, It's hard to believe you truly are as indifferent as you seem."
Light Divine Venerable's eyes flickered slightly.
After a while, he responded, "At the end of the day, you are worried that you cannot trap Penglai for long, preventing Abyssal Ruins from having enough time to breach Heavenly Dao Sect, capture Alkaid as well as the mysterious Artifact Sage, but… every Divine member who achieves Integrate Dao integrates their Earthly Divine Kingdom into the Great Dao, transforming it into the Heavenly Divine Kingdom. I will arrange for people to set up a Guiding Binding Formation, and within only twenty years it will be complete. By then, I can project the Heavenly Divine Kingdom into the Guiding Land, the force equivalent to a top-tier Fourteenth Level Binding Formation."
While speaking, he seemed to recall something. "This is a phrase circulating within Heavenly Dao Sect, which classifies Formation, Alchemy, and Artifact Refining into levels. I found it quite accurate and decided to use it."
Abyssal Ruins and the others nodded their heads.
Understanding the strength of this Binding Formation…
Jade Kirin Demon Saint then turned his gaze toward Abyssal Ruins, "How much time do you need to breach Heavenly Dao Sect?"
"The time it takes an incense stick to burn, that is enough," Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord immediately responded.
"Good, then Hei Tian and I will buy you half an hour!"
Jade Kirin Demon Saint declared emphatically.
Seeing Jade Kirin Demon Saint taking on the most challenging task, Hei Yue Demon Venerable immediately showed a smile, "Very well, then, everyone, let us sign the Great Dao agreement. I wish each of us achieve our desires and return full-handed from this operation."
