Chapter 4820: Establishing the Azure Lotus Immortal Alliance (Gone for Today)

Hearing this, the expressions of everyone present turned solemn. The War of the Great Dao — a term both familiar and unfamiliar.

It was familiar because the Dao Ancestors present had heard of the War of the Great Dao multiple times, yet unfamiliar because the last conflict had occurred hundreds of millions of years ago.

"Divided, we are no match for the Chaos Beasts," Wang Changsheng suggested. "I propose forming an Immortal Alliance. If we unite against them, we'll have a fighting chance."

"An Immortal Alliance! That’s an excellent idea," Lin Feng proposed. "It would be best if Fellow Daoist Zhou stepped forward to lead us."

"Exactly," Dao Ancestor Tatian agreed. "If Fellow Daoist Zhou makes an appearance, I believe everyone will be convinced."

"Fairy Mo," Wang Changsheng said, "could you please contact Fellow Daoist Zhou and ask him to take charge? It would also be best to reach out to those reclusive powerful individuals; I believe they will respond."

In terms of strength, they still couldn't compare to Zhou Dian. Zhou Dian had opened up eight fundamental laws, and after so many years, he might have even opened up a ninth.

In terms of influence, they also fell short of Zhou Dian. As one of the three great protectors of the ancient Immortal Court, he possessed extensive connections and immense influence.

"I'll try to contact my master," Mo Yinyin said. "You should all first establish the framework for the Immortal Alliance. However, to get those Dao Ancestors to join, slogans alone won't be enough. After all, if things go wrong, they could lose their lives and cultivation."

Some Dao Ancestors were unwilling to fight the Chaos Beasts to the death and also unwilling to side with them, choosing instead to live in reclusion. To persuade them to act against the Chaos Beasts, a significant incentive would be required.

"Our family possesses diverse skilled professionals who can refine elixirs, set up formations, forge artifacts, create talismans, perform divination, and brew wine," Wang Changsheng stated.

The Chaos Beasts already knew they had opened up two Supreme Fundamental Laws, so there was nothing left to hide.

"That works then," Mo Yinyin said. "Let's first spread the word. If Fellow Daoist Wang doesn't mind, I'll reside on Azure Lotus Immortal Island and be responsible for contacting my master."

"We couldn't ask for more if Fairy Mo is willing to reside on Azure Lotus Immortal Island," Wang Changsheng said with a smile.

After chatting for a good while, the cultivators departed. Mo Yinyin settled on Azure Lotus Immortal Island, while Nine Thunders and the others bade farewell and left.

Wang Changsheng gathered his clansmen, informing them of the Immortal Alliance's formation and simultaneously making contingency plans.

He dispatched individuals to the lower realms to transport a batch of cultivation resources to a specific location. These were all resources essential for Dao Ancestors. In the event of another defeat in the War of the Great Dao, these resources would ensure that the newly emerging Dao Ancestors of the Wang family would not be too weak.

Additionally, Azure Lotus Immortal Island was to be refined into a Dao artifact, so that even if they were defeated, they could use it to escape with their clansmen.

During their expedition to the ruins, Wang Changsheng and his companions acquired over two hundred thousand pieces of Fifth-rank immortal materials, nearly a hundred Dao artifacts, and more than a dozen high-grade Dao artifacts. At Gathering Immortal Peak, they also obtained a storage bracelet containing ten sets of Fifth-rank immortal formations, all designed for opening up fundamental laws.

Wang Changsheng distributed most of the Fifth-rank immortal materials to skilled individuals such as Liu Hongxue, Wang Qingbai, Wang Qingfeng, Wang Yulan, and Ye Haitang, instructing them to refine various finished products to cultivate more Dao Ancestors.

Wang Changsheng planned to refine high-grade Dao artifacts, while Wang Ruyan intended to refine complete sets of Fifth-rank immortal talismans for opening up new fundamental laws.

More than an hour later, Wang Changsheng dismissed the meeting, and the clansmen dispersed to attend to their respective duties.

Soon, various orders were issued, mobilizing large numbers of Wang family clansmen. They engaged in refining elixirs, forging artifacts, setting up formations, creating talismans, training immortal armored troops, and cultivating laws, all in preparation for the War of the Great Dao.

News of the Wang family forming the Immortal Alliance spread rapidly. Wang family clansmen used cross-immortal realm communication arrays to transmit the message, and in less than half a month, it had reached every corner of the Immortal Realm.

While Zhou Dian wielded significant influence among Dao Ancestors, the Wang family held considerable sway over immortals below that realm.

The Wang family issued a hefty reward: anyone who joined the Immortal Alliance would have the opportunity to obtain various cultivation resources. These included mutated Grandmist Spirit Treasures, Dao artifacts, secret methods for opening ten apertures, high-level cultivation techniques, immortal elixirs for breaking through to the Dao Ancestor realm, and immortal elixirs and treasures for comprehending laws, provided they earned sufficient merit.

As the news spread, many forces throughout the Immortal Realm eagerly answered the Wang family's call, especially their in-laws. The Wang family's in-laws collaborated with them, actively persuading other immortals to join the Immortal Alliance, leading to large numbers of immortals heading to the Chaos Continent.

A large influx of immortals joined the Immortal Alliance, significantly bolstering its strength. However, this diverse group was certainly mixed with false immortals, making the vetting process a major challenge. The Wang family dispatched numerous clansmen to screen these immortals, allowing them to join the Alliance only if no issues were found.

Somewhere in the Immortal Realm, in a sea region where thunder and lightning intertwined, violent winds raged, and thick streaks of immortal lightning occasionally pierced the sky.

On a desolate island spanning ten thousand miles, vegetation was sparse, and the landscape was utterly barren.

Cai Ji stood on the beach, speaking.

"What? The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple has opened up two Supreme Fundamental Laws? How is that possible?" A man's voice emanated from the center of the island.

"It's absolutely true, Lord Sha," Cai Ji confirmed. "This is a message from Lord Long. They have opened up five fundamental laws. In terms of fundamental law power alone, they are no weaker than Lord Jiao. If we allow them to grow, it will be a considerable problem."

"Commander He will not remain dormant for too long; let them have their moment for now," the man’s voice said gravely. "Zhou Dian actually tracked us down. There might be a spy within our ranks."

"Lord Sha, I have not colluded with them, Heaven and Earth bear witness!" Cai Ji quickly declared.

"If I knew you were a double-dealer, I wouldn't have told you so much," the man said. "But keep an eye out; I don't believe Zhou Dian found this place by mere coincidence."

"Yes, Lord Sha," Cai Ji replied. Then, realizing something, he added, "The Azure Lotus Immortal Couple has issued an invitation for all immortals to join the Azure Lotus Immortal Alliance. Many forces have responded, and followers are numerous. Should we infiltrate some of our people into it?"

"Arrange for some people to go in as appropriate," the man replied, his tone icy. "It won't matter if they are discovered; just let them sow suspicion among themselves and disrupt the Immortal Alliance's operations. The Azure Lotus Immortal Alliance, hmph. The Wang family is quite bold, daring to form a gang to oppose us. If Commander He awakens, we will immediately raze the Wang family."

"Yes, Lord Sha, I know what to do," Cai Ji readily agreed. He then thought of something and added, "The Wang family dares to form the Azure Lotus Immortal Alliance; they must have Zhou Dian's support, otherwise they wouldn't be so bold. Could this be their scheme? Deliberately distracting us, while Zhou Dian and other powerful individuals lurk in the shadows, seeking an opportunity to deal with Lord He."

"It's precisely because I'm worried about that that I called Long and the others back," the man instructed. "In the face of absolute power, all schemes and tricks are useless. Just wait! Commander He will not slumber for too long; the War of the Great Dao is not far off. Contact those fellows: if they don't want their clans annihilated, they should work for us. Obey and prosper, defy and perish."

"Yes, Lord Sha," Cai Ji readily agreed.
