Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1165 Eight-Party Talks
As the talks between the two sides were drawing to a close, Tuoba Tao said:
"Fellow Daoist Liu, I plan to invite all of you who are in the Tribulation Crossing Stage to hold a small meeting at Yujing Palace the day after tomorrow morning. I wonder if you are interested in joining me."

Liu Changxu was ready to say goodbye to Tuoba Tao. After all, the threat from the Black Demon Tribe had been resolved. There was no point in him staying here any longer.

After hearing Tuoba Tao's invitation, Liu Changxu immediately became interested, and then, with a puzzled expression, asked:
"Oh! But I wonder what important matter this meeting is going to discuss?"

Tuoba Tao raised his chin slightly, his expression solemn and expectant, and said slowly:
"The core topic of this meeting is to discuss how we can deal with the threats from the sea people and alien races from outer space.

The invasion of the Black Demons has brought unprecedented disaster to our human race, causing billions of human compatriots to die. The tragedy is heartbreaking. Fortunately, fellow Taoists took action in time, otherwise, the human race would have suffered even more tragic slaughter. Therefore, it is urgent to discuss with fellow Taoists how to deal with the sea tribe and the alien races from outer space.

In addition, I also plan to arrange for fellow Taoists to exchange their cultivation experiences. The reason why the Black Demon Clan was able to cause such a disaster to the human race this time is that we are lacking in strength. If we can have the extraordinary skills of fellow Taoist Liu, even if we cannot completely repel the Black Demon Clan, we will be able to greatly reduce the losses of the human race. It can be seen that improving our own strength is the fundamental way to protect our human race. Mutual exchanges between cultivators of the same level will greatly help us improve our strength.

Finally, the treasure exchange session will be opened. Fellow travelers can take out treasures that they don’t need and exchange them with each other to get what they need.

"Brother Tuoba, please relax. I will definitely be there on time!"

Liu Changxu immediately responded loudly:

When Tuoba Tao saw Liu Changxu nodded in agreement, he said goodbye and left with everyone from the Great Wei Immortal Dynasty.

On the morning of the third day, the sun shone on the majestic hall of Yujing Palace, which was carefully built with high-level spiritual jade, reflecting brilliant light.

Inside the hall, eight giant golden chairs emitting a majestic aura were arranged in a circle. Eight Tribulation Crossing experts whose auras were as terrifying as the abyss were having a solemn discussion on how to deal with the sea people and the alien races from outer space.

Since this matter concerns the vital interests of all major forces, the discussion became very intense as soon as the meeting began, filling the entire space with a tense and solemn atmosphere.

In addition to Liu Changxu, Tuoba Tao, Murong Qingyun, Zhang Liansong, and Duan Yuwei, those attending the meeting also included Zhao Wuji, the supreme elder in the early stage of tribulation from the Great Qin Dynasty, Song Kun, a powerful man in the middle stage of tribulation from the Wanxiang Sect, and Yuankong, the supreme elder of the Wanfo Temple.

It can be said that these eight powerful people in the Tribulation Crossing Stage basically represent the will of the entire human race on the Mazu Continent, and the decisions they make are directly related to the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the human race.

Because their decision was so crucial, every word these eight people said was carefully considered.

Since it was Liu Changxu's first time attending such a meeting and he didn't have enough knowledge about the internal situation of the Poseidon human race, he just listened quietly to the discussion and basically did not speak.

The core focus of the discussion among the cultivators was how to effectively deal with the threats posed by the sea people and alien races from outer space.

According to everyone, the major human forces in Mazu Continent had made countless attempts to address this issue, and the methods and measures they adopted were also different.

Since the human race settled and multiplied on the Mazu Continent of the Sea Star, they have established a unified human cultivation force three times, and have also established a human alliance composed of the top human cultivation forces many times. However, due to the complex contradictions within the human race, they have more often formed a short-term mutual assistance alliance when faced with foreign threats. The countermeasures discussed in today's meeting are also discussed based on the human race's past experiences and lessons.

At this moment, the atmosphere in the hall was solemn and heated. The core issue discussed by everyone was: whether to build a tightly organized and well-structured human alliance, or to continue the past strategy and only form a relatively loose mutual aid alliance when the alien threat approached.

Tuoba Tao, the supreme elder of the Great Wei Dynasty, Zhao Wuji, the supreme elder of the Great Qin Dynasty, and Song Kun, a powerful person in the middle stage of the tribulation of the Wanxiang Sect, strongly advocated the establishment of a strict human alliance.

They believe that only through a tight organizational structure, clear division of responsibilities and deep integration of human resources can they gather a strong and lasting force in the long confrontation with the sea people and alien races from outer space, so as to avoid being defeated one by one when encountering sudden attacks from alien races.

However, the Grand Elder Murong Qingyun of the Dayan Immortal Dynasty, the Grand Elder Zhang Liansong of the Zhenhai Sect, and the Grand Elder Duan Yuwei of the Xuantian Sect hold different opinions.

They felt that the differences between the sects, regional differences, and conflicts of interest between the major forces of the human race had been around for a long time. It would be difficult to establish a highly strict alliance in peacetime and it would easily lead to internal conflicts and disputes. Instead of doing so, it would be better to temporarily form a loose mutual assistance alliance based on a common survival crisis when the alien threat really came, and each retain relatively independent decision-making and action space to flexibly respond to the ever-changing battlefield situation.

In order to make the other party accept their own point of view, supporters and opponents argued back and forth, the voices of debate rose one after another, and the atmosphere was so tense that it seemed to be solidified.

Liu Changxu and Yuankong of the Wanfo Temple never expressed their views in this fierce verbal battle. Their silence made the situation in the entire venue even more delicate.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you think?"

Seeing that Liu Changxu remained silent, Murong Qingyun could no longer suppress his anxiety and asked first:

This question was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly causing ripples. Everyone's eyes were focused on Liu Changxu, and they all looked forward to hearing his opinions.

Liu Changxu raised his eyes and met everyone's gaze, knowing that it was time for him to make his position clear. In fact, he was not very satisfied with the views of both sides.

Take the idea of ​​establishing a human alliance with relatively centralized power. From their heated debate, it can be seen that there are many obstacles to the implementation of this plan. After all, if there is no serious external threat to check and balance, this so-called alliance is very likely to have conflicts due to uneven distribution of interests, and may even cause extremely serious internal friction, causing the alliance to collapse.

The other party proposed to temporarily form a loose mutual assistance alliance when foreign races invaded, which seemed flexible, but in fact had many drawbacks. The recent heavy blow suffered by the Wei Dynasty was a vivid example. Loose alliances often lacked unified dispatch and efficient cooperation. In the face of powerful foreign enemies, they were easily confused and passive, and it was difficult to form a strong defense force.

After a little thought, Liu Changxu slowly spoke:
"After listening to the opinions and reasons expressed by you, I found that you all have your own reasons. I think we can learn from each other and combine the strengths of both sides to explore a new response strategy."

"Oh? Then Brother Liu, please tell me in detail."

Murong Qingyun saw that Liu Changxu seemed to be trying to smooth things over, so he pressed on and asked:
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Liu, what do you think is the right way to proceed?"

Everyone agreed, eager to know Liu Changxu's specific plan.
