Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 694 - 576: All Beings Alliance (2)

Walking upon this vast land, I saw streams of clear golden Human Path Merit continuously converging above his head.

Endless merits kept merging into the Merit Golden Wheel behind him.

In a trance, an ancient and humble lamp slowly appeared, radiating eternal brilliance, reflecting Qi Xiu's figure as increasingly majestic and tall.

The meeting of Central Earth's sect aristocracy is being held.

Qi Xiu did not plan to personally attend, though this meeting is important, his matters are weightier.

The original plan was for Taoist Yun Yang to attend.

But on the night before Taoist Yun Yang's departure, while meditating on a cliff, a spark of enlightenment flashed through his mind, a blessing in disguise.

He temporarily changed his mind and decided to attend the meeting in person.

"The Human Path Merit warns me that soon, the land of Central Earth... no, the entire Tianyuan Main Realm will face an unprecedented calamity.

This warlord chaos, though it causes continuous war, also made prominent ancient sects realize that the various forces of the Human Race are too scattered, like grains of sand.

Those military governors, though strong, are insignificant compared to the entire cultivation world.

Yet, the ancient sect nobles find themselves inexplicably helpless against them, despite the gnashing frustration, they can only watch.

With such a scattered Human Race situation, if a calamity truly descends, will the Human Race withstand it?

If so, why not take advantage of the pressure this warlord chaos brings to the cultivation world and reorganize the current Human Race situation in one go.

Though the All Beings Alliance is merely an immature concept, it can consolidate the fragmented sand-like Human Race cultivation world into solid iron plates.

When the calamity arrives in the future, it won't catch us off guard.

However, the excessive use of [Command Talisman] power this time, when will my injuries heal?"

Arriving before the expansive and majestic Clearwater Lake, like a sapphire jade, Qi Xiu stood atop the mountain, the wind blew, his Daoist robe danced, revealing the startling scars on his arms.

All elders present came from the ancient sect nobility, some even held positions like Qi Xiu's as Vice Sect Leader.

To guide or even lead the entire direction in front of such high-status, experienced True Monarchs of the Dao Body, mere rhetoric is simply impossible.

With their demeanor and level, even if you're correct, they will ponder and add their thoughts.

It will not proceed smoothly according to Qi Xiu's words.

To bring forth the birth of the All Beings Alliance, Qi Xiu could only use the method of [Command Talisman].

To subconsciously make the Dao Experts agree with his words.

But to simultaneously influence such a number of Dao Experts imposes an enormous burden on Qi Xiu.

If not for his cultivation being far superior to before, the Heavenly Dao Backlash this time could severely hurt him.

"Hope there's still time."

Gazing at the tranquil lake, Qi Xiu appeared serene, in the next moment, his figure slowly vanished, scattering myriad golden light, disappearing from the spot.

Just after he left, the mirror-like lake surface stirred with ripples, seemingly heralding the current situation will soon be completely overturned...

...

Qi Xiu returned to Shenxiao Sect Gate, he saw Taoist Yun Yang anxiously waiting at the entrance.

Seeing Qi Xiu return, the pacing Taoist Yun Yang sighed in relief and quickly approached:

"Vice Sect Leader, you've finally returned."

"What happened, is there any trouble?" Qi Xiu furrowed his brows and asked.

Taoist Yun Yang is now the oldest elder of Shenxiao Sect, for him to lose his composure, it's evidently not a trivial matter.

"A True Venerable from the Dao Alliance has arrived, waiting in the hall for half a month." Qi Xiu's absence nearly frightened Taoist Yun Yang and the Yun Generation Elders to their core.

Considering the repercussions from the last incident involving Gao Tianxiong, if it repeats, they cannot endure such a big scare.

Luckily, after the Primordial Spirit True Honor's arrival, he revealed his Dao Alliance member token and presented Dongfang Qing's handwritten entry decree, which reassured everyone.

"A Primordial Spirit True Honor from the Dao Alliance?"

Raising an eyebrow at the words, Qi Xiu quickly understood and then chuckled:

"Got it, seems like the Store Manager has gathered all the herbs."

"Master Yun Yang, you may return, I'll handle this."

After sending Taoist Yun Yang who worried for half a month back, Qi Xiu then swiftly mounted Qingyun, heading towards Sect Master Peak.

Meanwhile, in the Sect Master Peak hall, the Wealth God True Lord Shen Wansan who's been waiting for over half a month showed a hint of impatience.

To gather all the herbs on the list, he utilized Shen's Myriad Goods Pavilion's connections, purchasing at high prices. Moreover, some extinct immortal grass and treasure medicine were acquired at great cost from the Dao Alliance.

Over the year, he, a merchant, truly paid a heavy price.

Unexpectedly, upon gathering all the herbs and seeking Qi Xiu, he learned this fellow was not in the sect.

Helplessly, he had to remain in Shenxiao Sect, waiting for this Daoist to return.

"I was unaware of True Venerable's visit due to my external affairs, hence kept the True Venerable waiting."

Hearing Qi Xiu's voice, Shen Wansan, about to vent, slowly relaxed his frown, though his face still held a hint of displeasure.

"Qi Daoist rises as Shenxiao Sect's Vice Sect Leader, busy with affairs, unlike my idle life."

As the Store Manager of Shen's Myriad Goods Pavilion and a Primordial Spirit True Honor, being kept waiting for half a month, Shen Wansan inwardly feels somewhat aggrieved.

Yet he is seeking a favor, thus cannot simply leave, only venting lightly.

"I apologize, I truly did not know about your arrival, had I known, I'd welcome you immediately."

Stepping into the hall, Qi Xiu sincerely apologized to Shen Wansan with a smile.

Seeing Qi Xiu's genuine attitude, Shen Wansan's expression softened, not dwelling on trivial matters, yet upon looking at Qi Xiu, a hint of surprise appeared:

"You're injured? Heavenly Dao backlash?"

As a Primordial Spirit True Honor, Shen Wansan instantly noticed Qi Xiu's hidden injuries.

"Encountered some unforeseen events, but it's nothing serious."

Waving his hand, Qi Xiu took a seat opposite Shen Wansan, speaking softly:

"Did you gather the herbs, True Venerable?"

His gaze paused on Qi Xiu's arms briefly, Shen Wansan's eyes showed a hint of peculiarity, calmly speaking:

"Yes, although delayed, I managed to gather them."

"All herbs are now complete, when can you assist in refining the medicine?"

A year for cultivators is merely in the blink of an eye.

But for Shen Changsheng, it signifies he's yet closer to his ultimate demise.

Therefore, upon gathering all herbs, Shen Wansan immediately headed for Shenxiao Sect, intending for Qi Xiu to hasten the refinement of the Heavenly Patching Elixir to cure Shen Changsheng's innate condition.

"Since the herbs are gathered, the furnace can be prepared anytime." Knowing Shen Wansan's urgency, Qi Xiu didn't delay, agreeing to promptly start refining.

"That's good, though your injury..."

Watching Qi Xiu's hands, Shen Wansan expressed slight concern.

It's not that he worried for Qi Xiu, but feared any ailment might affect the refining of the Heavenly Patching Elixir.

"Please rest easy, True Venerable, minor injuries won't hinder the process." Knowing Shen Wansan's concern, Qi Xiu reassured with a smile.

"That's good."

Seeing Qi Xiu's confidence, Shen Wansan said no more, trusting Qi Xiu wouldn't deceive a Primordial Spirit True Honor.

To withstand even Heavenly Dao Backlash.

This young one is truly peculiar...
