Chapter 836: One Heart Dedicated to the Immortal Alliance

The exotic beasts of the Beast Kind Realm gradually sensed that something was amiss.

Although the two invaders only displayed Nascent Soul cultivation, they stood firm like a rock against the endless beast tide's attacks. They even grew stronger with each battle!

Desolate roars echoed throughout the entire Beast Kind Realm.

In the sky, the winds changed, and clouds shifted colors. Above the central black tower, a massive vortex formed.

Within the vortex, the faint image of a black mystic bird could be vaguely seen.

For the first time, Tian Yang and Lin Ling's expressions turned serious.

But that was all.

The outcome was the same as when Elder Liu of the Medicine King Sect swept through this realm in the previous life.

Even though the remaining phantom of Little Black was used to summon the Beast Kind Realm's Will of Heaven against them, under the combined power of the two Dao Integration cultivators, it was still quickly suppressed.

Following Li Fan's instructions, after killing the most powerful exotic beasts and extracting their beast cores, they designated an area to gather and confine the remaining beast kinds.

Then the two began their next move.

They also transferred the entrance to the Beast Kind Realm's passage into the Spiritwood Realm.

Having gained experience from previously transferring the entrance to the Five Elements Great Grotto-heaven, they were familiar with the process this time and quickly completed the task.

When Ouyang Daozi designed the headquarters for the Myriad Realms Alliance, he specifically allocated an empty plot of land.

This was to house the entrances leading to various realms.

At this point, it was not yet extensive, but in the future, as more small worlds connected, it would truly live up to the name of "Myriad Realms Alliance."

Of course, security was also a necessary consideration.

The more passages there were, the greater the potential vulnerabilities.

Ouyang Daozi considered a spatial nesting scheme, planning to segment the area with various realm entrances into relatively independent, nested spaces that could be abandoned at any time.

If something unforeseen truly happened, they could sever these connections for self-preservation.

However, this was still in the conceptual stage.

Even though Tian Yang had absorbed the Inkstone, it would still take him some time to master the ability to freely sever space.

Priorities had to be set.

After the Beast Kind Realm and Spiritwood Realm were successfully connected, Tian Yang first went to the Li Realm, following the location Li Fan had provided.

By this time, the beast cores in the "Immortal Spirit Tower" that Li Fan had left behind were completely depleted.

Without spirit energy production, the cultivation of the people in the Li Realm had gradually fallen into dire straits.

The exploration of the Fire World was still in its initial stages.

In desperation, Su Yuqing used a communication talisman to call for Li Fan's help.

Tian Yang did not conceal his aura.

After he appeared, the oppressive power of a Dao Integration cultivator seemed to shroud the entire Li Realm in a thick layer of dark clouds.

Those who didn't understand showed expressions of terror.

Only Su Yuqing was overjoyed.

Facing the respectful Su Yuqing, Tian Yang said little.

He simply quietly helped the Immortal Spirit Tower resume operation, and then connected the Li Realm with the Spiritwood Realm.

“When the immortal spirit energy is depleted again in the future, you can go to the Beast Kind Realm to hunt and replenish the necessary beast cores.”

“The Beast Kind Realm is not like the Li Realm; you still need to strive to improve your cultivation. Any rare items or cultivation techniques you need can be applied for from the Alliance headquarters.”

Tian Yang stated concisely.

Su Yuqing nodded repeatedly.

In fact, at first, Li Fan had considered the idea of directly infusing the Li Realm with spirit energy from the Spiritwood Realm.

However, after careful consideration, he rejected it.

After all, the vast majority of small worlds lacked spirit energy.

The Spiritwood Realm could nourish one realm, but what about ten or a hundred?

It was better for each realm to gradually transform through the Immortal Spirit Tower.

Of course, this would require an astronomical supply of beast cores.

Li Fan planned to visit the Empire with Tian Yang after his breakthrough.

The Myriad Realms Alliance was flourishing and developing steadily.

Haixuan Island.

As Ji Shaoli predicted, with the release of the Immortal Alliance's latest announcement, an unprecedented entrance examination was about to be held.

Compared to previous years, more than double the number of positions were offered this time.

Furthermore, the overall benefits for cultivators within the Immortal Alliance system saw a significant increase.

Countless cultivators eagerly signed up, hoping to defy fate and change their destinies.

However, He Zhenghao, who had made ample preparations and was full of confidence, seemed somewhat restless.

“Daoist He, is something on your mind?” Ji Shaoli asked.

He Zhenghao seemed not to have heard, lost in thought.

He remained oblivious.

“Daoist He!” Ji Shaoli couldn't help but frown and called out again.

Only then did He Zhenghao come back to his senses.

“Huh?”

“It seems, Daoist He, you're hiding something from us,” Ji Shaoli chuckled.

He Zhenghao's unusual behavior had started two days prior, after he returned from Myriad Immortals Island.

Because they shared a common secret, the cultivators of the Mutual Aid Society present immediately realized something upon hearing this.

They all stared intently at He Zhenghao, their expressions unfriendly.

“Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!” He Zhenghao gave a wry smile and quickly explained.

“It's not what everyone is thinking. The reason I've been so distracted lately…”

He hesitated for a moment, then, looking helpless, took out a picture album.

Blushing, he said, “This is the culprit.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

Ji Shaoli remained outwardly calm, but his heart sank.

He took the album, quickly flipped through the first few pages, and then abruptly put it away.

“Where did you get this item?” Ji Shaoli asked in a low voice.

The album contained captivating stories about the romantic affairs of Venerable One-Heart.

Although not as nearly realistic as the illusions Li Fan had experienced, it possessed a unique allure, enough to captivate a cultivator's mind.

No wonder He Zhenghao had been so distraught these past few days.

“I got it from a Daoist friend I'm on good terms with. He was secretive about it, saying it was something good. It cost me five hundred contribution points.”

“Though the picture book itself isn't bad, really.”

He Zhenghao muttered softly.

“What on earth is it?”

With He Zhenghao saying this, everyone present grew even more curious.

Ji Shaoli only showed the first part of the album to the others.

The cultivators had initially scoffed, “Daoist He, you're at least a Foundation Establishment cultivator; how could you be so captivated by this thing?”

But when He Zhenghao retorted and revealed the true identity of the album's protagonist, all the cultivators present were dumbfounded, and the way they looked at the album in Ji Shaoli's hand instantly changed.

Ji Shaoli snorted coldly, pulling them out of their wild imaginings with a few words.

“Myriad Minds… One-Heart?”

“If one's mind becomes engrossed in it, one might be assimilated?”

Everyone's faces turned pale.

He Zhenghao, in particular, was frozen on the spot, his body trembling uncontrollably.

“It's a good thing you haven't fallen too deep.”

“Daoist He, you must immediately enter secluded cultivation and clear all distracting thoughts from your mind,” Ji Shaoli ordered gravely.

A flustered He Zhenghao instinctively obeyed Ji Shaoli's command.

After confining He Zhenghao to a secluded chamber for self-reflection and calming the others, Ji Shaoli began to investigate the circulation of Senior Sister Zhao's album within the Myriad Immortals Alliance.
