Chapter 789 - 752: The Strong is the Proof

Chapter 789: Chapter 752: The Strong is the Proof

Without stepping into the Immortal Realm, a Unity-Path Cultivator is the strongest being that can manifest in the world.

This is the case in the Xuanhuang World, let alone in this Small World of the Empire.

It’s less daunting for Qing and Red, as they’ve lived long enough. They recall encountering a Unity-Path Cultivator when they were still part of the Beast Taming Sect many years ago.

However, for the Imperial Princess, it’s much harder.

Despite inheriting the memories of the emperors down through the ages, her impression of a legendary Unity-Path Cultivator’s incredible power is only dimly understood.

But after all, the Imperial Princess is a mere mortal.

...

Facing Liu San’s imposing display of power, like a sea rushing over mountains, left the Imperial Princess pale and gasping for breath.

The three gave their respect, but Liu San remained silent.

At this, Qing and Red felt a twinge of unease.

To be honest, before today, they had harbored doubts about the [All Realms Federation].

After all, from beginning to end, there has only ever been one person from the United Federation of All Realms in contact with them. Furthermore, that contact presumably isn’t very advanced in cultivation.

They’re barely at the level of the Nascent Soul Transformation Realm, which is common throughout the Xuanhuang World.

But today, the moment they saw a Unity-Path Cultivator with their own eyes, all doubts vanished from their hearts.

Because strength, is the best proof!

After all, a Great Unity Cultivator surely wouldn’t resort to deception, would they? They could annihilate the Empire with a flick of their wrist. It simply wouldn’t make sense for them to do so.

All these thoughts flashed through their minds in an instant, causing the three of the Empire to bow even more respectfully.

Seeing the atmosphere, Liu San grunted lightly and gave a slight nod, “Let’s go, show me the few things you’ve reported.”

At this time, Xu Bai also added, “The offensive of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals has become more and more intense lately. Elder Liu doesn’t have much time to waste.”

The Imperial Princess quickly nodded, leading them to an underground secret chamber in the High Tower Palace.

The secret chamber was vast, with the Orbit Stabilizer, thousands of different types of Spirit Crystal Marrow, and a huge furnace already prepared.

Liu San first looked at the Orbit Stabilizer and abruptly asked, “If we knew the coordinates of a realm relative to the Xuanhuang World, could we use this Orbit Stabilizer to determine that realm’s location in the Void?”

Little Green was taken aback at first, and then looked alarmed.

Because she realized that the “realm” Elder Liu was referring to was not a lesser world in the Xuanhuang World.

He was referring to another Immortal Cultivating World on par with the Xuanhuang World.

With a newfound respect for the All Realms Federation, Little Green mulled over it and finally replied honestly, “The existence of the Immortal Ruins causes distortion in the spacetime surrounding the Xuanhuang World. Given only simple coordinate data, even if one could escape the pull of the Immortal Ruins, they’re likely to lose their way midway.”

“However, if the destination coordinates are set in advance, one could feasibly adjust the journey through spacetime. In theory, it’s completely possible to arrive safely at the designated location,” Little Green quickly added.

“This realm’s lack of Spiritual Energy, but still developing this technology, is truly remarkable,” Liu San nodded in approval.

Upon hearing this, all present had a glimmer of joy in their eyes.

Liu San then focused his gaze on the thousands of different types of Spirit Crystal Marrow.

Just one glance, and he moved on.

After all, these violent beastly abilities were just child’s play in the eyes of a Unity-Path Cultivator.

Liu San then turned his attention to the giant humming, throbbing furnace.

The dangerous presence oozing from it made him narrow his eyes slightly.

“You’re playing with fire here,” Liu San finally remarked after a long while.

“As for the ‘Unity Mantra’ that consolidates myriad beasts into one, it might be possible. But if that terrifying object were truly created, I fear it wouldn’t be something your so-called [Heart’s Harmony Technique] could control,” Liu San declared.

“Perhaps, if the Beast Taming Sect’s ancient treasure, the [Cycle of Ten Thousand Beasts] were available, there might be a glimmer of hope.”

Little Green and Little Red looked at each other, both startled.

However, before they could respond, Liu San left one sentence behind and deliberately walked away.

“I’ve gleaned the general situation of this realm. Be patient and wait for the result.”

Perturbed, Little Green asked, “Daoist Xu…”

Xu Bai looked helpless, “As I mentioned earlier, the Alliance of Thousands of Immortals is currently aggressively advancing, with many small worlds falling one after another. The organization has decided to implement a survival strategy of tail-cutting; to draw in our forces and only retain the valuable small worlds as core power members.”

“The final decision is not in Elder Liu’s hands alone. The organization’s upper echelons need to perform a comprehensive assessment before making the final decision,” Xu Bai replied.

As he spoke, to provide proof, Xu Bai showed images of the each small world falling one after another under the furious assault of the Cultivators of the Alliance of Ten Thousand Immortals, which he’d just gathered from the Tianxuan Treasure Mirror.

In the face of these scenes full of bloodshed, brutal yet real, the three of the Empire couldn’t help but pale significantly.

Tossing the Shadow Stone to them, Xu Bai tried to calm them, “Don’t worry, for the sake of our common ancestors, even if the organization’s decision to shelter you doesn’t pass, I will come quietly to bring you out and save your lives.”

“Of course, there can’t be too many people. The limit is five,” Xu Bai added with a somber expression.

Seeing the faces of Little Green and the others turn even paler, Xu Bai finally said, “Of course, if the organization ultimately decides to give you refuge, that’d certainly be ideal.”

“However, in return, all resources and technology in the Empire will have to be integrated into the United Federation of All Realms.”

“No matter what the outcome, during this time, you all need to prepare in advance,” Xu Bai continued.

“I’ve heard that in your Empire, there exists some sort of Aristocratic class…” Xu Bai added, chuckling.

Looking at the Imperial Princess, he said, “Remember, what the Empire needs is an emperor, not Aristocrats.”

“Starting today, let there be only one voice in the Empire,” Xu Bai suggested.

After saying that, Xu Bai clasped his hands together. “I’m also tied up with many things and can’t stay here for much longer. Let’s hope that when I come again, I can bring good news.”

Without waiting for Little Green and the others to say farewell, Xu Bai swiftly flew out of the Empire.

Watching Xu Bai leave, the eyes of the Imperial Princess turned towards the palace’s exterior.

With a flash of murderous intent, her gaze slowly became steady.

…

In the Xuanhuang World, at the entrance to the Empire.

Liu San, who had left earlier, was waiting for Xu Bai there.

“Young Master, how did I perform? ”

Seeing Xu Bai appear, he couldn’t help asking somewhat smugly.

“Ha ha, I didn’t expect that Elder Liu, who always seems so upright and stern, could lie so convincingly that I couldn’t find a single flaw. I’ll have to remind Elder Jiang to be extra careful around him,” Xu Bai said with a grin.

Liu San’s face fell immediately at this.

However, he quickly changed the subject, “Regardless, this Small World called the Empire really does have some good things. Just the [Crucible of Myriad Forms] alone would be quite impressive even within the Ancient Xian Realm.”
