Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 579 - 566: Director

Creation Group.

Alkaid, with the guidance of assistant Xuan Qing, stepped into the board meeting where Xuan Qing and the other seven directors had already been debating for a long time.

When Alkaid arrived, everyone's eyes were on him.

Through "Yu Xiao Immortal King's" memories, he was already familiar with these seven people.

Let's not talk about his old rival, Director Alpha, for now; the others...

Alkaid saw another familiar face.

The founder of Three Pure Sanctuaries, who had specifically descended to the Lower Realm in the past to search for the inheritances of the Time Daoist Ancestor and Void Ancestor—Creation Sovereign.

With the arrival of Alkaid, a hint of surprise appeared in the eyes of many in the room.

Directors with good relations with him, Turn-Heaven and Dragon-Tiger, even nodded at him with a smile.

These two, one specializing in the Life Great Dao and the other in the Great Dao of Strength, both had stepped into the Immortal King Domain, with the shares of Dragon-Tiger Director in the Great Dao of Strength even exceeding two thousand.

However, since the Great Dao of Strength was not considered a Core Dao, it had many limitations and thus did not stand out among the seven directors.

"Yu Xiao has arrived."

Chairman Xuan Qing was the first to greet him: "Come, come, take a seat."

He pointed to the usual spot for Yu Xiao Immortal King, clearly already treating him as the ninth director of the Creation Group.

However, this behavior made Director Reverse, who had some confrontations with Chairman Xuan Qing, frown: "Chairman, our Creation Group, and even the Nine Major Groups, have strict criteria for joining the board. One must not only have the authority of an Eighteenth Level Immortal Spirit but also achieve Immortal King status in a certain Great Dao. Yu Xiao Immortal King... Whether his authority has restored to the Eighteenth Level is one thing, but he clearly lacks the realm of an Immortal King, right?"

He added with a smile: "Of course, I am not questioning the Chairman's decision. It's just that our Creation Group, as one of the Nine Major Groups, naturally has to meet the standards of the Nine Major Groups. If even an Immortal Venerable can enter the boardroom, what's the difference between us and those ordinary companies and groups? If the word gets out, people might think that our Creation Group has weakened and no longer possesses the strength of the Nine Major Groups, which will greatly affect the confidence of other Immortal Spirits in us."

His words naturally gained support from Director Alpha: "The reason the Creation Group is one of the Nine Major Groups is due to the strong support of the Master of Creation, the wise decisions of the board, and the concerted efforts of many employees. However, the computational power brought by the support of many Immortal Spirits is also crucial. If these Immortal Spirits think that we have become a second-rate group and stop assisting with computational power, it would have a significant impact on the whole Creation Group, and might even attract the personal inquiry of the Master of Creation."

"Ah, you two directors are taking it too seriously. In fact, I invited Director Yu Xiao here today to announce this."

Xuan Qing smiled faintly: "Although Yu Xiao has not become an Immortal King, the path he is currently following is not what we know as the Great Void Path, but the Time Great Dao. Moreover, he has already reached a realm close to that of an Immortal King on the Time Great Dao."

"Time Great Dao!?"

As this statement came out, everyone in the boardroom was visibly moved.

"No need for me to elaborate on the difficulties of cultivating the Time Great Dao. According to the current trend, there is a high chance that Director Yu Xiao will become our Chaotic Origin Realm's first Immortal King of Time! You know how significant these words are, right? Any pioneering Immortal King of any Great Dao can receive focused cultivation from the Master of Primordial Yi, greatly enhancing his authority points."

Xuan Qing explained, pausing in his speech: "Although the first Immortal King of other Great Daos would not necessarily elevate an Eighteenth Level Immortal Spirit's authority to Nineteen Level, but the Time Great Dao... This is one of the four Supreme Daos. Director Yu Xiao pioneering this would certainly raise his authority to Nineteen Level, don't you think? How much positive impact could this bring to our Creation Group? How much computational power support would we gain from numerous Immortal Spirits?"

As the chairman enumerated these benefits, some directors who were originally neutral were now tempted.

The Immortal King of Time.

The Time Path is notoriously difficult.

Not to mention that now, the Nine Major Groups and their Sovereigns have some thoughts, even collaborating with the Master of Primordial Yi to delve into the Time Great Dao, seeking to fully comprehend it to the Daoist Ancestor level might take at least hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.

After all, the Time Daoist Ancestor has perished, leaving no references.

In a situation where the Time Great Dao has become the third greatest challenge after the Gates of Destiny and Causality, if the Creation Group could birth an Immortal King of Time.

Even if he is far from the level of a Daoist Ancestor, his presence would still instantly boost the reputation of the Creation Group.

When the time comes, a massive number of Immortal Spirits will choose to support the Master of Creation and "contribute" their computational power to him, and their will would also influence the decisions of the Master of Primordial Yi towards favoring the Creation Group.

Moreover, those Immortal Spirits planning to venture and compete in the Ancient Immortal Realm, unless they are cultivated internally by the Nine Major Groups, would prioritize joining the Creation Group upon hearing its reputation.

This would further enhance the foundation of the Creation Group.

If this situation can continue...

The Creation Group will undoubtedly become the most powerful among the Nine Major Groups.

"Of course, it's a fact that Director Yu Xiao has not yet achieved Immortal King status, so we can't let him participate in the group's decisions as a director yet, but... he was a member of our Creation Group's board three thousand years ago, and I've appointed him as an acting director for now. There shouldn't be any objections to this point, right?"

Chairman Xuan Qing spoke, his gaze falling on Director Alpha and Director Reverse: "If you all still don't allow this, I'd have to wonder whether you are indeed directors of the Creation Group or if you have become directors of the Tianyuan Group. Knowing that Director Tian Yu is targeting Director Yu Xiao, fearing that he might threaten his position by embarking on the Immortal King path again, yet you all are helping an outsider director target our own. Where's the reason in that?"

"The chairman is right," said Director Yu Xiao, "it has only been three thousand years since I left the board. Whenever we encounter difficulties or tackle tough problems, thousands or even tens of thousands of years can quickly pass. We shouldn't be deprived of our directorships just because we haven't returned to the group for such a short time, right?"

"Exactly, sometimes we cultivators fight life-and-death battles with native Immortal Kings and sustain serious injuries. When injured, our cultivation can fall, preventing us from utilizing the power of an Immortal King. For those with more severe injuries, thousands or even tens of thousands of years might be needed for recovery. During that time, if we can't demonstrate the strength of an Immortal King, should we also step down and yield our positions?"

"Yu Xiao himself is an Immortal King, and now his permissions have been elevated. Moreover, he has received strong support from the chairman. Attaining the rank of Immortal King was a matter of nearly ten thousand years, so why can't he return to the board? I think, we can even remove the word 'acting' directly!"

One director after another echoed this sentiment.

Seeing this, Xuan Qing smiled and said, "This is why I also feel that Yu Xiao rejoining the board is not unacceptable. Being in the Ancient Immortal Realm, we are continuously influenced and interfered by the Gate of Destiny and the Gate of Cause and Effect above us. Who can guarantee they won't encounter unexpected events? If we expel someone over a minor incident, it would be a loss of both morality and popularity."

Speaking, this chairman stared at a few overly enthusiastic directors: "Because of the threat from Tianyuan, should we hand over our own director? What would others think of Creation Group if they knew this? Some people just can't keep their priorities straight, acting as if Creation Group is a subsidiary of Tianyuan. If they truly think like that, they might as well switch to Tianyuan Group early."

Director Alpha's face turned extremely ugly, but he didn't know how to retort.

However, Director Reverse, who had been clashing with Xuan Qing for many years, quickly reacted, disingenuously smiling, "We are also considering the interests of the group. Tianyuan Group has cooperations with our Creation Group in many aspects. If Director Tian Yu's interference suddenly causes a break, the loss would be massive..."

"Tian Yu is not the chairman of Tianyuan Group, he cannot represent the will of Tianyuan Group."

Xuan Qing indifferently responded, "Besides, even if he is the chairman of Tianyuan, what about it? Some cooperations, if broken, then they are broken. Without Tianyuan Group, can't we find other partners like Changsheng Group, Shenluo Corporation, Xi Yu Group, Brahma Group, or Sun and Stars Group?"

"I was overly anxious about the cooperation related to Tianyuan Group."

Director Reverse still retained a smile on his face.

However, it was visibly evident that Xuan Qing, the chairman, had put him in his place.

But since he himself was a director, it was normal to be subdued by the chairman. The ability to come out unscathed was already a talent.

Conversely, if he could overthrow Xuan Qing, the chairman, once, his reputation would greatly increase, naturally attracting allies who stand opposed to Xuan Qing's interests.

"Then let's make it so and announce it publicly."

Xuan Qing made the final decision with a slam.

The other directors no longer objected.

Then, Alkaid entered the board as an acting director, exercising the rights of a board member, just waiting for his Ascension to Immortality to remove the "acting" designation.

After the meeting, Xuan Qing called Alkaid again: "Now that you're on the board, you can start assembling your own team. Though you still have some people around you, many have been poached, and numerous positions are vacant."

Alkaid nodded.

With the fall of Yu Xiao Immortal King, naturally, many of his people had left, with only a few high-level ones like Illusion World and Di Kong remaining.

"I will recruit some people."

"Need help?"

"No need."

Alkaid smiled and said, "Chairman, you should think about how to quickly gather the shares for me in both the Void Path and the Time Path. If I had already become an Immortal King, there wouldn't be so many issues today."

"Shares?"

Xuan Qing replied with a wry smile, "Tian Yu has been targeting the market shares of the Void Path for a long time. When he noticed that we were trying to elevate you back to the position of Void Immortal King, he even inflated the price of those shares to an astronomical level. And the amount of shares for the Time Path on the market has always been scarce. To secure enough shares of the Time Path... I'm afraid we'd have to target the local cultivators, but such tasks can't be accomplished swiftly."

"Local cultivators?"

Alkaid pondered for a moment, "Most of the shares in the Time Path are held by local cultivators?"

"Yes."

Xuan Qing added, "Give me some time, within ten thousand years, I will gather the necessary shares of the Void and Time Paths for you to become an Immortal King."

Alkaid initially wanted to suggest drawing out Tian Yu Immortal King, who held more than three thousand shares of the Great Dao, and to completely consume him.

However, considering that the consequences of such actions were too severe, and the timing for a war between the two major groups was not yet ripe, and that he was still lacking in personal strength, he ultimately...

Pressed down on that thought.

"Then I'll look forward to the chairman's good news."

Alkaid smiled, nodding in response.
