Chapter 2852: Chapter 2852: Joining Forces

After the exchange with Bading Sect, the Nourishing Essence Sect was quiet for a long period of time.

During this time, the Great Might Divine King, Fang Bai, and Rongrong were all in secluded cultivation, while the Nourishing Essence Alchemist frequently went out to meet with friends. ℴℴ𝘮

Every time he met a friend, he would recount the story of his disciple Fang Bai’s dominant defeat of two disciples from the Bading Alchemist, taking great pleasure in it.

Thus, not long after, many powerful figures in Tianlin Star knew about this matter and envied the Nourishing Essence Alchemist for having received such an exceptional disciple.

Originally, the three major forces on Tianlin Star were led by the weakest, the Nourishing Essence Sect, but now many sect forces with uncertain stances took the initiative to get close to the Nourishing Essence Sect.

They believed that the Nourishing Essence Sect, now with an honorary elder of high rank in the Divine King Realm and a genius disciple possessing the Great Luo Divine Body, would become the overlord of the Tianlin Star System in the future.

Even the Sect Leader Mansion, currently the most powerful overall, would eventually be replaced by the Nourishing Essence Sect.

In contrast to the celebrated Nourishing Essence Sect, the disciples of the Bading Sect, usually fond of flaunting their power, became much more subdued.

On this day, the long-unseen Bading Alchemist left Bading Sect alone and came to the Tianlin Star System Leader Mansion to meet with the current Tianlin Sect Master, the Tianlin Divine King.

"Bading brother, your esteemed visit is so unexpected! May I know the purpose of your coming?"

The Tianlin Divine King chuckled as he saw the Bading Alchemist appear at his mansion.

He knew that the Bading Alchemist had probably been in a bad mood lately and that he rarely showed up, leading a reclusive life. He did not expect him to suddenly seek him out, making him secretly ponder what this usually proud and arrogant old fellow was planning by visiting him.

He could hardly believe that the Bading Alchemist was idle enough to come visit just for a casual chat.

The Bading Alchemist sighed and sat down on a stone chair nearby, with a worried face, he said, "I’m worried for you, Tianlin Divine King!"

The Tianlin Divine King was taken aback and asked, "Worried about what?"

The Bading Alchemist solemnly said, "Don’t you think that the Nourishing Essence Sect’s prominence has been too excessive lately?"

The Tianlin Divine King squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the Bading Alchemist with a half-smile, "Bading brother, I don’t quite understand your meaning!"

The Bading Alchemist laughed with reluctance, "I believe the Tianlin Divine King understands what I mean... However, let me make it clear."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "In recent years, the overall strength of the Nourishing Essence Sect has grown with visible speed, and many sect forces have defected to them. Perhaps in a little while, my Bading Sect and your Sect Leader Mansion will both be suppressed by the Nourishing Essence Sect!"

"So what?"

The Tianlin Divine King’s expression was calm, revealing neither joy nor anger.

The Bading Alchemist chuckled, "Tianlin Divine King, your heart is probably not as calm as it appears right now, is it?"

The Tianlin Divine King took a deep breath and looked intently at the Bading Alchemist, frowning, "Bading brother, what exactly do you want? You know I do not like beating around the bush. Whatever it is, just say it!"

The Bading Alchemist said, "Alright, I was waiting for you to say that!"

He stood up, took two steps forward, and said, "I believe the Tianlin Divine King does not wish to see the Nourishing Essence Sect continue to grow and develop, threatening the status of the Sect Leader Mansion, right? I also do not want the Nourishing Essence Sect to surpass my Bading Sect!"

The Tianlin Divine King asked, "So?"

The Bading Alchemist clenched his fists tightly and said, "So, we cannot let this situation continue!"

The Tianlin Divine King asked, "What do you propose we do?"

The Bading Alchemist’s face twisted with a fierce expression, gritting his teeth, he said, "You and I join forces to destroy the Nourishing Essence Sect and divide their long-accumulated cultivation resources!"

"This..."

The Tianlin Divine King fell into silence.

The Bading Alchemist saw that he did not immediately refuse him and felt hopeful, beginning to coax him gently, "Tianlin Divine King, if the Nourishing Essence Sect grows, their first target to threaten is me, next would be your Sect Leader Mansion.

You also do not want the Nourishing Essence Sect to replace the leadership of the Tianlin Star System, right? You wouldn’t want your position as Sect Master to be taken by that Nourishing Essence Alchemist, right? Heed my advice: indecision will lead to chaos!"

The Tianlin Divine King seemed moved by his words and murmured, "This is a grave matter, let me consider it..."

"Think carefully, Tianlin Divine King, for the matter concerns your position as Sect Master, I believe you will make the right decision."

The Bading Alchemist sat back on the stone chair, not in a hurry, believing that after weighing the pros and cons, the Tianlin Divine King would make the correct choice.

"The Nourishing Essence Sect now has two high-ranked Divine King experts overseeing them, making their overall strength not weak. How should we act to eliminate the Nourishing Essence Sect with minimal cost?"

A moment later, the Tianlin Divine King asked.

His question indicated his agreement to join forces with the Bading Alchemist.

The Bading Alchemist was overjoyed and said, "That’s easy! Before I came, I already thought of a strategy."

"Oh? Then quickly tell me, Bading brother."

The Tianlin Divine King activated the isolation formation around the hall and then showed keen interest.

Thus, the Bading Alchemist explained his plan in detail, and the Tianlin Divine King nodded repeatedly, a peculiar smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

Ten days later, the Nourishing Essence Alchemist, who had been wandering among other stars, eagerly returned to the Nourishing Essence Sect.

Upon returning to the main hall, a disciple immediately handed him an invitation card, stating it had been sent by the Sect Leader Mansion two days prior.

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist opened the invitation, and upon seeing its content, smiled and said to the disciple, "Summon the Great Might Divine King and the sect’s senior members to the Nourishing Essence Hall for a meeting!"

Moments later, the Great Might Divine King and numerous senior members of the Nourishing Essence Sect arrived in the Nourishing Essence Hall and sat on either side on stone chairs.

"The Sect Leader summons us, what is the matter to discuss?"

Aside from the Sect Leader, the Great Might Divine King was the most authoritative individual in the current Nourishing Essence Sect, so he represented the sect’s senior members and asked.

"Great Might Divine King, please have a look at this invitation."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist, with a thought, made the invitation slide slowly over to the Great Might Divine King.

The Great Might Divine King received the invitation, opened it, glanced over the few lines of text, and then smiled, "Sect Leader, the Sect Leader Mansion has warmly invited us, shall we go?"

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist said, "We shall go! I want to see what treasures the Tianlin Divine King has at his Jianbao Conference!"

He also said to the Great Might Divine King, "The Sect Leader Mansion has also invited you, so you can accompany me this time. Additionally, bring Fang Bai, Rongrong, and my other direct disciples, let them also open their eyes and see some of the Tianlin Divine King’s treasures."

The Great Might Divine King agreed, "In that case, I shall inform Fang Bai and Rongrong to prepare."

The Nourishing Essence Alchemist nodded, "Then, we will set our departure for three days hence!"
