Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 544 - 531 Origin
Alkaid could sense Penglai Dao Lord's concern.
But this concern was not for him personally, but rather...
The war between Chaotic Origin Realm and Ancient Immortal Realm.
Yes.
The war between the two realms.
At this moment, he had realized that the forces of the Chaotic Origin Realm, led by the nine major groups, were waging war against the Ancient Immortal Realm.
The core battlefield of this war lay in the Immortal Realm.
Chaos Origin Realm utilized the power of "Yuan Xi's Master", entering the Lower Realm in a manner akin to "reincarnation and rebirth", then ascending from the Lower Realm as Dao Lords to go to the Immortal Realm and participate in the war with the Immortal Realm.
The manner of warfare...
"Seize a larger share of the Great Dao and become a Daoist Ancestor!?"
These two thoughts surged in Alkaid's heart.
And judging from the current situation, it seemed that only the forces of "Destiny" and "Causality" in the Ancient Immortal Realm remained unbreached.
The others, as strong as Time and Void, had also been claimed.
It could be that there were no Dao Lords in this world initially, but after the war broke out between Chaotic Origin Realm and Ancient Immortal Realm and the Daoist Ancestors fell, the special existence of "Dao Lords" emerged.
"What's the current situation like in the Immortal Realm now?"
Alkaid asked.
"On the whole, we have a great advantage, the Three Thousand Great Daos have been basically occupied, dissected, and controlled by us. Only the Destiny Dao Ancestor and Causality Dao Ancestor are left fully rule-based, transforming into the Gates of the Great Dao to mount their last resistance. If it weren't for the victory being imminent, the nine groups would not be as united as before. Otherwise, the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect should have also been breached," replied Penglai Dao Lord, providing a succinct explanation. "However, 3.33 million years ago, in that decisive battle, the Time Dao Ancestor and Void Dao Ancestor combined forces using a composite immortal technique, merging the Power of Time with the Void Force into one, breaking the barriers between Ancient Immortal Realm and Chaotic Origin Realm. For a brief period, they managed to extend their influence into our Chaotic Origin Realm, seemingly intending to use our earlier method of infiltrating the Ancient Immortal Realm through reincarnation and rebirth, to preserve a glimmer of hope for survival, escaping to the Lower Realm. Therefore, the many Great Daos associated with them have always been difficult to completely gather and integrate, which is why the Ancient Immortal Realm still has the possibility of turning the tide."
"Time Dao Ancestor, Void Dao Lord..."
At this time, a flash of spiritual light seemed to race through Alkaid's mind, and he suddenly realized something.
These two Dao Ancestors...
Couldn't they have been reincarnated around the Northern Sea Star?
And, the "catastrophe" area with a diameter of a billion light-years that he had observed earlier, was that the trace left behind by the two great Dao Ancestors when they broke the universal barrier?
For countless years, nearly every so often an Immortal King would descend to the Lower Realm, moving through the Northern Sea Star Domain in the manner of reincarnation and rebirth. Was their real purpose to search for the reincarnated selves of the Time Dao Ancestor and Void Venerable in this starry sky?
Or maybe the legacy they left behind? Or something else?
And this reincarnation legacy...
Alkaid's mind focused on the glazed treasure tree shimmering with brilliant light.
"Is it You?"
But then he suddenly shook his head.
No, that's not right!
This glazed treasure tree was brought by him before he transmigrated, not inherited after transmigration.
Wait a moment.
Based on his guess, the world he saw with his "high-dimensional cognition" above the Immortal Realm was the Chaotic Origin Realm. In other words, this treasure tree should have come from the Chaotic Origin Realm!
And when the Time Dao Ancestor and Void Dao Ancestor chose to merge as one in their final moment, they broke the cosmic barriers between the Ancient Immortal Realm and Chaotic Origin Realm, casting their power into the Chaotic Origin Realm.
Despite ultimately failing, having no choice but to fall back to the Ancient Immortal Realm—this starry sky where the Northern Sea Star resides—through reincarnation and rebirth to preserve their vital energy, who could guarantee...
That they hadn't left this "ancient tree" within the Chaotic Origin Realm in the form of a seed when they broke through the universal barrier?
For hundreds of thousands of years, those Immortal Kings reincarnated as Dao Venerables, searching over and over again in this starry sky without finding the Time Dao Ancestor or the Void Venerable's legacy, simply because the "ancient tree" as their legacy wasn't in this universe at all, but in the Chaotic Origin Realm.
Was it until a thousand years ago that he, by a stroke of luck, obtained this ancient tree? Was he brought from a humble ordinary planet in the Milky Way Galaxy of the Chaotic Origin Realm back to the Ancient Immortal Realm? Thus, beginning a magnificent journey from Alkaid Realm to Cangwu Realm, and then from Cangwu Realm to Northern Sea Star, and now soon to the Immortal Realm?
"This..."
A wave of disbelief washed over Alkaid's heart.
He couldn't believe everything that had happened to him.
But...
Based on what Penglai Dao Lord said, in conjunction with the information he currently held, it seemed to be the only explanation.
"Time Dao Ancestor, Void Dao Lord!"
Alkaid let out a long breath.
Seeing that Penglai Dao Lord still seemed to be concerned about his condition, he carefully chose his words, tentatively saying, "Thank you for your concern. Speaking of my condition is of little use, unless I can find the power of the Time Dao Ancestor and the Void Dao Lord. Otherwise, nothing will change."
"This..."
Penglai Dao Lord's brows furrowed slightly, and then she seemed to realize something: "When you were cultivating to become a Void Dao Lord, you insisted on killing a Void Dao Lord... Could it be, you didn't apply for your Dao Lord quota?"
"I didn't have a quota at that time,"
Alkaid said.
It seems that many beings in the Immortal Realm are aware of the existence of "shares."
Or rather, the nine major groups all possess the secret of "shares," and they even hold special methods that allow them to control these "shares," thus helping the eligible beings of the Chaotic Origin Realm to successfully Integrate Dao.
"Without a share..."
Penglai Dao Lord appeared incredulous, "Having cultivated into an Immortal King, and with the contribution you've amassed through your rich experience in this world, your authority should have reached at least the Eighteenth Level, which qualifies you to face 'Yuan Xi's Master' directly. Requesting a share should have been easy..."
As she spoke, she looked at Alkaid, "Has the infighting within the Creation Group reached such an extent? Are they trying to utterly destroy you, to not give you a chance to turn things around? Why haven't you reported it? Once reported, the great supreme wisdom 'Yuan Xi's Master' would surely grant you justice."
Alkaid shook his head, seemingly unwilling to continue on this topic.
Seeing this, Penglai Dao Lord also gradually calmed down.
Alkaid's reluctance to report to 'Yuan Xi's Master' suggests either that he has some unspeakable leverage, or...
His revenge will be thunderous and unstoppable.
He surely intends to make the other directors of the Creation Group suffer the same fate as his before he is willing to let go.
After pondering for a moment, she cautiously offered a suggestion, "The process and experience of your cultivation from Dao Lord into an Immortal King are the most valuable data and wealth. This data could fetch a sale worth billions of top Credit Points, if you are willing. After you ascend to the Immortal Realm, I can contact the board of Xi Yu Group on your behalf. They would definitely want to purchase your experiences and insights. Moreover, if you are willing to join the Xi Yu Group, securing a position as president of the Void Path wouldn't be difficult."
"I remember the Xi Yu Group has a fairly good relationship with the Creation Group?"
Alkaid asked.
"Your authority is higher than mine, and you should be clearer about the specifics. The so-called good relationship is just to maintain a united front outwardly. In reality, as the nine major groups gain an increasing advantage in the war against the Ancient Immortal Realm, the competition among them has also intensified. Poaching talents from each other is not uncommon since it's practically time to divide the spoils, and with the pie being only so large, any increase in one's own interests is essentially snatched from the hands of others," Penglai Dao Lord said, shaking her head.
She seemed to disapprove of the practice of dividing the spoils before victory was assured.
Although she was extraordinarily talented and entered the Ancient Immortal Realm as a Seventeen Level eternal being, she was still too young to wield convincing influence before achieving enough accomplishments.
However, speaking of which...
As the great war between the two realms drew to a close, it was hard for these newly entered eternal beings to rapidly increase their authority levels.
"Let's wait and see," Alkaid said, adding, "Besides, you needn't be too certain. Maybe I am not the Jade High Immortal King you speak of."
Penglai Dao Lord smiled, not surprised by Alkaid's denial of his identity.
This Immortal King clearly had significant troubles.
Furthermore...
She didn't think she could persuade a figure who once had the qualifications to enter the board of the Creation Group in just a few words.
Of course, it was also true that Alkaid might not be the Jade High Immortal King.

But judging by his ability to become a Dao Venerable in the Lower Realm...
Before entering the Ancient Immortal Realm, his rank was definitely not low.
At the very least, he was like her, at Seventeen Level, being nurtured as an Immortal Venerable and charging towards Immortal King.
Building a good relationship with such a being of the same kind was never a wrong move.
For a time, the two fell silent.
Alkaid needed time to digest the information he had just received.
And Penglai Dao Lord also had to carefully weigh how to interact with Alkaid going forward.
She had initially thought that Alkaid was a new eternal being entering the Ancient Immortal Realm for the first time, just like her. After all, many of his behaviors fit the profile.
But now, a newcomer had transformed into an Immortal King seeking the legacies of the Time Dao Venerable and the Void Dao Venerable, possibly an Immortal King who had lived for hundreds of thousands of years. This of course made her reconsider her approach towards him.
Right at this moment, the Cultivators of the Ten Great Immortal Paths led by a Dao Lord arrived in haste.
To avoid an awkward atmosphere, Penglai Dao Lord said, "Sorry, I spend most of my time cultivating and tempering my Divine Soul, so I'm not good at social interactions. I will take my leave now."
Alkaid nodded, "Same here."
Penglai Dao Lord glanced at him with a trace of surprise.
Then she smiled and quickly left.
As he watched Penglai Dao Lord walk away, Alkaid came to a realization.
Though Penglai Immortal Sect, founded by Penglai Dao Lord, is also considered one of the Ten Great Immortal Paths, she rarely interacted with the other Dao Lords.
She maintained a position seemingly detached from the world.
Even in her confrontations with the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, other forces rarely offered any substantial help.
Previously, Alkaid thought it was because Penglai Dao Lord had only recently become a Dao Lord and wasn't familiar with other forces and Dao Lords.
Now it seems...
This might just be the pride of a Seventeen Level eternal being of the Chaotic Origin Realm.
The potential destined for Immortal Venerable made her disdain to waste too much time with the native Cultivators of the Lower Realm, those who might not even get a chance for ascension.
Shaking his head, Alkaid refocused his mind, greeting the arriving Dao Lords, and continued to occupy the territories of the Demon, Devil, and Spirit races, laying the foundation for the future development of the Human Race.
