Chapter 992: Chapter 992: The Divine Immortal’s True Intentions

The supreme treasure Taiqing Pearl possesses a mysterious effect that enhances the comprehension of cultivators!

Comprehension is part of one’s Talent. With high comprehension and good Talent, it not only facilitates advancement in cultivation realms but also boosts mastery in cultivation methods. Thus, the Taiqing Pearl is also called "Wisdom Pearl" within the Taiqing Sect.

With the Wisdom Pearl in hand, the Taiqing Sect Leader’s disciple has cultivated for over four thousand years and has reached the Late Formless Realm, two minor realms above Cao Ren;

Moreover, his proficiency in magic and martial arts is shockingly deep, far surpassing Perfection, reaching the "Reaching the Peak" and "Transcendence" standards, with two cultivation methods even achieving "Epic" level, triggering Godlike magic and awakening two Skills!

Relying on profound cultivation and terrifying spell mastery, this Taiqing Sect Leader’s disciple slapped Cao Ren into a puddle of dragon meat with a single strike.

With that, Cao Ren was officially out of the competition, losing the chance to become the perfect son-in-law.

After leaving the Scroll Realm, Shen Mo gently consoled him through telepathy, "Being in the top ten is already commendable. Don’t lose heart; even if you can’t become the old Immortal’s son-in-law, it’s no big deal. In another thousand years, our Red Flame Sect may not be inferior to the Xuanyuan Clan!"

Among the hundred-plus participants in the Scroll Realm competition, all were outstanding talents from various immortal continents. Being in the top ten proves Cao Ren’s excellent Talent and great potential on the Immortal Path, with a future prospect of becoming a True Immortal.

If Cao Ren managed to marry into the Xuanyuan Clan, it would undoubtedly be a great achievement.

For him, having the Xuanyuan Clan’s terrifying heritage to support his cultivation, along with the protection of a Divine Immortal, would make his path to the True Immortal Realm smoother.

For the Red Flame Sect, it would establish good relations with the dragon’s ancestral land and the Xuanyuan Clan through Cao Ren!

However, as Shen Mo said, even if it doesn’t work out, there’s no need to be too upset.

Currently, the Red Flame Sect is thriving, and even if it’s still not up to par with the Xuanyuan Clan in the future, it won’t be too far off. The spiritual resources, magic, and cultivation methods the Xuanyuan Clan can provide are something the Red Flame Sect can offer too. Once Shen Mo becomes a True Immortal, he can protect the sect disciples just like Xuanyuan Tongzhen!

After cultivating for many years, Cao Ren, like Shen Mo, was no longer the outer disciple guarding the mountain gate. He quickly adjusted his mindset and returned to the mansion where the sect settled, beginning seclusion to digest the benefits obtained in the "four thousand five hundred years of cultivation."

In the fifth millennium, only the strongest True Dragon from the ancestral land, the Taiqing Sect Leader’s disciple, and the Demon Immortal’s heir remained in the Scroll Realm!

These three brilliant Immortal Path talents fought fiercely in the Scroll Realm, unable to conclude the competition for a while.

At this moment, the ancient and solemn voice of Xuanyuan Tongzhen resounded once more, "This time I invited fellow daoists here, not only to select a son-in-law for my little girl and reunite with old friends, but also for a major discussion."

"It’s time!"

Shen Mo and Jade Spring Fairy exchanged smiles, retracting most of their awareness from the Scroll Realm to attentively listen to Xuanyuan Tongzhen’s words.

Apparently, Xuanyuan Tongzhen, this Divine Immortal, sensed that the Immortal Realm was about to enter a period of turmoil.

It’s not just because magical disasters have arisen in Dongjie Continent and an Earth Immortal has been wreaking havoc, but mainly due to the major disturbances caused by the leftover evil of the old era outside the Heavenly Gateway. Having lived over a million years, he has experienced similar events about three times. Whenever the old remnants act, the Universal Realm would become turbulent...

Hence, from various signs, he foresaw that in the future, horrific disasters capable of overturning the heavens and the earth would also occur across other immortal continents, including Phoenix Continent.

Since his attainment of the Divine Immortal status, he spends most of his time stationed at the Heavenly Gateway, unable to always oversee Xuanyuan Mountain.

To ensure the Xuanyuan Clan successfully navigates future upheavals, he plans to make preparations and sign a covenant of solidarity with numerous True Immortal figures!

After revealing his true intentions, Xuanyuan Tongzhen took out a contract refined from top-tier celestial materials and inscribed with celestial seal, flashing with mysterious light, floating in the center of the Cloud Palace.

Unfortunately, Shen Mo has not yet reached Immortal status and cannot comprehend the celestial seal’s meaning, so he relied on Jade Spring Fairy to interpret it for him;

It’s not that he doubts Jade Spring Fairy’s character, but just in case, he also secretly contacted Guan Ling to explain the contract written in celestial seal once more...

The covenant content is not complicated. After a few moments, Shen Mo understood it clearly.

The central point is that the contracting parties must not kill each other; if any party encounters a disaster beyond their ability to resist, others must offer maximum aid within their capabilities; of course, the aided party must pay an appropriate price!

Other details pertain to keeping their respective forces friendly, establishing immortal markets to trade spiritual resources, organizing competitions periodically, allowing disciples to utilize each other’s cultivation blessed lands, sharing magic and martial arts to a certain extent, and establishing a merit evaluation system applicable to multiple forces... and so forth.

Overall, the covenant is fairly comprehensive and not too harsh, essentially forming a network of alliances through a contractual agreement.

"Fairy, what do you think?"

Shen Mo withdrew his gaze and asked for Jade Spring Fairy’s opinion through telepathy.

"This Immortal finds it acceptable. Had this covenant been established earlier, I wouldn’t have been entangled and fought with that Hollow Venerable for so long, almost falling in the cultivation world. By paying an appropriate price, I could call upon fellow daoists to assist in killing that Evil Demon!" Jade Spring Fairy nodded slightly after pondering.

Shen Mo nodded, carefully considering for a moment, then bowed to Xuanyuan Tongzhen and said, "Senior Tongzhen should be aware that this junior has deeply offended a Heavenly Immortal of the old era remnants and has even suppressed her Dharma Body. If she gathers all her infiltrated forces in the Immortal Realm to kill me, will the seniors and fellow daoists who sign the covenant help me?"

Before Xuanyuan Tongzhen could respond, Jiuli Dark Lord, who had some disagreement with Shen Mo, mockingly sneered, "You’re such a remarkable kid with extraordinary Skills; are you really afraid of a mere Heavenly Immortal? In my opinion, you don’t even need to sign this covenant. You have enough ability to handle that remnant evil on your own."

"Regarding formidable Skills, how can I compare to Senior Dark Lord?" Shen Mo sarcastically retorted.

"Hmph!" Jiuli Dark Lord did not argue with Shen Mo and turned to Xuanyuan Tongzhen, "Senior Tongzhen, I can agree to sign this covenant, but to avoid us being implicated by the disasters entangled with this kid, please exclude him from the covenant."
