Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 564 - 551: The Situation

Upon confirming that Alkaid was "one of their own," Evergreen Dao Lord also dared not conceal too much from him.

At least when it didn't touch upon the core interests of Changsheng Group, the information he introduced was unreserved.

After all, to the Immortal Spirits from the Chaotic Origin Realm, everything in this world could be discarded at any moment.

Their so-called foundation and achievements were merely for completing the tasks issued by Master of Primordial Yi in order to elevate their own authority.

From this perspective, being the Sect Leader of the Gate of Eternal Life is quite a decent profession.

His real dissatisfaction was simply being ousted from the position of the Sect Leader of the Gate of Eternal Life.

However, considering that the other party is a director-level figure of the Nine Major Groups, and he, even if he mixed in well after going to the Immortal Realm, could at most aspire to the position of Vice President.

For the other party to deal with him, a mere Sect Leader of the Gate of Eternal Life...

It seems he has no place to reason about it.

The situation is stronger than the person.

At this moment, Evergreen Dao Lord said, "The latest news I have comes from Yuan Kong, also an Immortal Spirit of the Seventeen Level. The group plans to cultivate him as the Vice President in charge of the Five Elements Path, Heavenly Evolution Path, and Illusionary Path. He has lived up to the expectations and has become a Dao Lord within just a thousand years of joining Longevity Sect. He is only awaiting the opening of the Gate of the Immortal Realm soon to serve the Changsheng Group in the Immortal Realm, and the information he brought is only a thousand years behind..."

A thousand years to become a Dao Lord.

This is on the same level as Penglai Dao Lord.

However...

Penglai Dao Lord does not have massive support like the Gate of Eternal Life backing him. The resources and treatment he can have fall short compared to Yuan Kong's. Hence, talent-wise, Penglai Dao Lord should be superior to Yuan Kong.

"As of now, although the core Daos of Destiny and Causality are still unexplored in the Immortal Realm, the great and supreme Master of Primordial Yi has already calculated a feasible method through continuous simulation and deduction of the Three Thousand Great Daos of the Immortal Realm. Since the Three Thousand Great Daos are a whole, and if the conventional methods cannot breach the Destiny Dao and Causality Dao, then we must start with unorthodox methods. At the core of such unorthodox methods are artifacts, formations, alchemy, and beasts."

Evergreen Dao Lord spoke solemnly, "Your Highness, as an Immortal King, once had control of over a thousand shares and should understand this principle."

"By leveraging the characteristic that the Three Thousand Great Daos are one entity, we use unorthodox methods to stimulate the powers of the Destiny Dao and Causality Dao, thereby shaking the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect."

Alkaid nodded.

"Indeed, what we need most at the moment are talents in these areas. The Artifact Refining Division, Alchemy Division, Formation Division, and Innate Division once outweighed the divisions of their respective Dao paths in importance, such as the Five Elements Division of the Five Elements Dao and the Heavenly Evolution Division of the Heavenly Evolution Great Dao... After all, the Nine Major Groups have already conquered these Dao paths; it's just that currently, they each occupy a share, forming a mutually restraining situation. However, Destiny and Causality represent entirely new tracks, the most core tracks."

Evergreen Dao Lord glanced at Alkaid, "Due to the mutual restraint between the Nine Major Groups, the encroachment on the Ancient Immortal Realm has slowed down a lot recently. The great and supreme Master of Primordial Yi has significantly increased the Points rewards for tasks related to the Dao paths of Destiny and Causality. To elevate authority to the Eighteenth Level in other Daos, one must control a thousand shares, but for these two Daos... Whatever the methods, as long as one can stimulate a force equivalent to a hundred shares and reduce the strength of the two Great Dao gates by one percent, one will be granted Level Eighteen Authority."

Speaking of this, his tone carried encouragement, "This is a brand-new market! Stimulating one percent of the force can create a Level Eighteen Authority Holder. If one can stimulate ten percent of the force, Your Highness's power can be elevated to Level Nineteen! With the empowerment of Level Nineteen Authority, Your Highness can easily re-enter the senior ranks of Creation Group. With support from other directors, even the position of Chairman is within reach."

Power.

Alkaid clearly understood what this meant to the beings from the Chaotic Origin Realm.

For the beings from the Chaotic Origin Realm, the spirituality possessed by Cultivators only signifies personal ability.

The power granted by Master of Primordial Yi is akin to an administrative level.

President, director, and chairman are indicative of one's identity and position.

While Ascend to Immortality and becoming an Immortal King signify the ultimate benefits and power they can attain.

Among these, ability is the least important.

Rank is the foundation of everything.

No matter how exceptional your abilities, if your rank doesn't increase, being suppressed by those above means you can only work in the lower levels, without remarkable status or much benefit.

On the contrary, after reaching a higher rank, even if one's abilities are weaker, they can be assigned to better positions, exploiting these positions for personal gain, and the ultimate benefits won't be much lower.

Yuan Kong and Penglai Dao Lord are prime examples.

Both are Immortal Spirits of the Seventeen Level with high ranks. Once they are in the Immortal Realm, they are both trained as Vice Presidents.

On the other hand, lower-level Immortal Spirits have to start as workers and climb step by step to supervisor, manager, director, eventually sitting in the position of a president.

This is the difference in treatment brought by different levels of Immortal Spirits.

And if Alkaid indeed manages to elevate his authority to Level Nineteen, his rank would be comparable to the chairmen of the Nine Major Groups.

Even if his exercised position is only at the level of a director or president, he could pose a significant threat to a chairman.

Should the opponent be careless, the leadership of the group may change hands.

"Besides the Nine Major Groups, there must be numerous smaller groups, right?"

Alkaid asked.

"There are several hundred companies and groups of varying sizes, but none are significant threats. The highest rank among them is only Level Eighteen. When it comes to crucial moments of share contention, Level Eighteen Authority Holders may apply for the power assistance from Master of Primordial Yi, while Level Nineteen Authority Holders may do the same. In the end, only the latter is likely to succeed with their application, so there is a fundamental difference in the efficiency of resources acquisition between the two," Evergreen Dao Lord mentioned these smaller companies and groups, quickly revealing a pride characteristic of a member of a major group, "Unless these small companies and groups get lucky, find a unique market, and tap into a completely new market, they have no chance to shake the position of the Nine Major Groups. Without a Level Nineteen Authority Holder, their development ceiling is essentially sealed."

"What about the native Cultivators of the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

Alkaid said.

"Local cultivators? They are treasures indeed."

Evergreen Dao Lord said with a smile, "Although currently among the Three Thousand Great Daos, there are still millions of shares held by local cultivators, they practically have no space to survive. As soon as they expose themselves, they will immediately be hunted by both large and small groups..."

Speaking of which, he paused, "Of course, it's unavoidable for these groups to sabotage each other during the hunting process. If it weren't so, how could local cultivators still have room to survive? And how could Great Dao Shares flow among each other?"

Hearing this, Alkaid sighed inwardly.

It seemed just as he had guessed.

Cultivators from the Lower Realm could choose not to ascend, but once they Ascend to the Immortal Realm, they would instantly become the most tantalizing prey, leading to a joint annihilation from both large and small groups.

They were utterly surviving in the cracks of the overt and covert struggle among these groups.

However, this also matched the state of Great Dao Shares he had learned about.

The Nine Major Groups held nearly seventy percent.

Small groups and local cultivators held the remaining thirty percent.

"Thankfully I didn't rashly ascend, otherwise I would inevitably be dodging and hiding—no, with my sizeable presence, I would not be able to hide. As soon as I ascended, I'd be targeted, but now..."

A Mind Thought flashed through Alkaid's mind.

A special aura had appeared on Shao Hua who was on Northern Sea Star.

"I have a number now."

He murmured to himself with a smile.

The aura of Immortal Spirits.

Pity...

He had a number, but since he didn't belong to any of the Nine Major Groups, he could probably only work for a small group.

Or he had to make it on his own.

With Level Sixteen authority, and soon able to rise to Seventeen Level authority, even going solo, he could snatch a fair share.

Once he gained some strength, he could then switch to one of the Nine Major Groups and try to control the information of those top figures within these groups...

Especially the information of the Void Immortal King's group.

When the time was ripe, he would try to slay the Void Immortal King and establish a foundation to confront the Nine Major Groups.

Of course, besides this method, uniting local cultivators was also an option.

The shares occupied by local cultivators, after all, amounted to ten or twenty percent, singularly surpassing any of the Nine Major Groups.

But...

Once local cultivators showed themselves, they would inevitably attract a united offensive from the Nine Major Groups.

Therefore, to truly mobilize local cultivators, he must stir up internal chaos within the Nine Major Groups.

"I wonder what the situation with Yu Xiao Immortal King really is, otherwise, I could really use his identity to enter the Creation Group, compete for the position of Chairman of the Creation Group, and then incite the Creation Group to wage war against the other Eight Major Groups... Two clones, one infiltrating the inner circle of the Nine Major Groups, causing internal chaos, the other accumulating power in secret..."

Right now, the competition among the Nine Major Groups had reached an intense level.

After all, the cake was only so big, everyone wanted to raise their level to Seventeen, Eighteen, or even Nineteen, if it weren't for the 'Master of Primordial Yi' rules, the fight within the Nine Major Groups would have already commenced.

While Shao Hua was getting familiar with the power of Immortal Spirits, Alkaid also learned specific news about the Nine Major Groups, and even some details about the Chaotic Origin Realm from Evergreen Dao Lord.

Strictly speaking, the total amount of Chaotic Origin Realm might not necessarily be much stronger than that of Ancient Immortal Realm.

But...

The Chaotic Origin Realm developed the supreme intelligence known as 'Master of Primordial Yi,' almost as if giving a primitive era the concept of 'Heavenly Dao,' and it was a diligent and selfless 'Heavenly Dao' that actively sought development.

On one hand, its power is united, led by Master of Primordial Yi in an enterprising spirit.

On the other hand...

The Three Thousand Great Daos, interdependent yet each executing their duties.

How could one fight this?

If at the beginning of the war, a heroic figure had stood up to unify the Ancient Immortal Realm, there might have been a chance to determine the outcome.

But now...

The shares of the Ancient Immortal Realm held by cultivators were only left with ten or twenty percent.

This was like a war between two countries where one had lost eighty or ninety percent of its territory, leaving no room for a decisive turnaround.

Therefore, the only chance was to stir internal chaos in the Chaotic Origin Realm, wait for an opportunity from the outside, then there could be a glimpse of life.
