Taoist Master Xuanhuang

It mainly refers to marginalized areas.

The top-tier realms within the Xia Kingdom did not participate; all the top-tier realms had already been subdued by Xuanhuang.

They were of one mind with Xuanhuang, and this was done gradually. Xuanhuang didn't need to exert too much pressure, and the leaders of the Civil and Martial Temples agreed.

The Divine Kingdom's Heavenly Network has been opened to them, and these holy beings are enjoying themselves within it.

For example, Confucius had already created a body-refining technique in the underworld that he was very satisfied with.

Although there are no top-level realms, even small-scale realms are beyond the capabilities of cultivators.

When these unwilling realms and unwilling otherworldly sects secretly joined forces, a vast net began to be cast.

This is something that the Four Super and Eight Greats did not expect.

Furthermore, not all major powers are concerned about division.

For example, the eight major parties don't care about division because they would never split.

This is what makes it different from the four super ones.

After the Ghost Ship Abyss Law spread.

The all-knowing scholar of Diting Tower and Ji Zhongfu, the leader of the Small World Alliance, sat facing each other, leisurely drinking tea and chatting.

The two had formed a friendship before, the kind where they knew each other very well and had each other's secrets, which is why they became 'friends'.

"What do you think, fellow Daoist?" Ji Zhongfu asked, taking a small sip of tea.

"How can you tell me? Don't you know that anyone who asks me for their opinion costs money? Where's your money?"

It was a joke, but the fact that he could still joke at this point meant that he didn't care at all.

At the same time, this is not entirely a joke.

He is the owner of the Diting Tower, skilled in divination and fortune telling. His business includes fortune telling and predicting the future of a power.

Similar to the Heavenly Destiny Pavilion, a cultivation sect.

“You drank this tea for nothing?” Ji Zhongfu said without hesitation.

This tea leaf was a spiritual root from his world of gods and demons, which he moved to Qingyun Mountain.

He is very famous; the title of Tea Alliance Leader is almost synonymous with his father, Ji Zhongfu.

Even before they joined Xuanhuang and learned Xuanhuang's Daoist arts, the cultivators of the God and Demon world had already begun to fight back.

After decades of effort, they have reclaimed one-third of their world of gods and demons.

The main reason is that the combined power of the four realms exceeds the cultivation level of cultivators.

The will of Heaven from all four realms is involved, just like the throne of the Blood Soul Realm. Such power is such that unless Xuanhuang personally intervenes, no one in the cultivation world can shake it.

The cultivators in these four worlds aren't particularly strong; the strongest are only at the second rank. However, they can transcend ranks after summoning treasures, which is quite difficult to achieve.

Even if that's all, they can still use many other methods, such as summoning the Void Blade. In a battle between third-tier cultivators, the strongest among cultivators of the same tier is the same in the world of gods and demons.

If it's just that simple, then there's nothing to fear.

The difficulty lies in the fact that the treasures of the four realms are not only treasures, but also the last remnants of the will of heaven of the four realms, like a throne, like the blood moon of the Blood Moon Realm.

It is a being that starts at the fourth or even fifth tier.

This is something that true cultivators cannot handle.

Fortunately, for some unknown reason, when the True Cultivators launched their counterattack against the God and Demon World, the last remaining treasures of these worlds did not use their full power or employ the will of Heaven to attack, unlike when Xuanhuang first entered the Blood Soul Realm.

They didn't really understand that it was just a simple summoned creature.

For this reason, the true cultivator was able to launch a counterattack without worrying about the emergence of a force that he couldn't handle.

As for the reason, Ji Zhongfu didn't understand either, but it was definitely related to the Dao Lord.

There must be a force that threatens them, or even destroys them, which is why these divine treasures are given according to the rules.

This was the situation a long time ago when Dao Lord was at the third level. Now that Dao Lord has entered the fourth level, he is even less afraid.

Therefore, Ji Zhongfu and the people from the world of gods and demons were optimistic about this matter.

They were absolutely certain that they could reclaim their homeland.

Even though this home is becoming less and less important, and its positioning has been moved to the main world.

This was Ji Zhongfu's biggest regret and the source of his self-blame.

Now that all that is gone, hope lies ahead, and my future is bright. I have also taken the position of leader of the Small World Alliance and have a new child. Naturally, I am in high spirits.

They have been in charge of the Small World Alliance for over a decade and have now firmly established their dominant position.

Under his leadership, the Small World Alliance underwent a long period of reform and change.

Although we are currently at the bottom of the eight, there are different levels of the bottom.

Previously, we were consistently at the bottom, but now we are at the bottom while trying to catch up. It won't be difficult for us to surpass the Refining Alliance before long.

Ahead of them are the Warriors Alliance, the Spirit Beast Sect, the University Alliance, and the Listening Pavilion.

Surpassing them may not be easy, but at least we can look up to them.

He wasn't confident against the strongest Hundred Herbs Pavilion and Origin Array Sect.

These two are too powerful; one is the ancestral court of spiritual roots (and also an unofficial member of the Hall of Merit, and the host of the Hundred Arts Competition), and the other is the ancestral court of formations (and also a disciple of the Dao Lord). They are too powerful for me to catch up with.

Even with the greatest confidence, I wouldn't dare say I've surpassed these two companies.

However, bringing the Small World Alliance to this position has already satisfied everyone.

The current Small World Alliance basically follows the rule that those who are capable should do more work, those who are capable should receive more rewards, and those who are capable should occupy high positions.

Some nouveau riche lords (whose names were changed by Ji Zhongfu when he reorganized the small world) were forced to abdicate, but since the wealth was not meant to go to outsiders, the new lords were people from this world.

This effectively redefined the leadership position of the lords, stipulating that only wise and powerful lords could be called lords.

Otherwise, you're just a parasite, a mere corpse guard, completely incapable of leading everyone to grow and thrive.

This move directly shook the previous rebel alliance, which was then incorporated into Ji Zhongfu's forces.

These people were all lords who were dissatisfied with their own worlds. However, the previous alliance of smaller worlds had nepotism and protected some corrupt and useless lords. Despite their efforts to resist, they could not shake the support of the smaller worlds.

Now, Ji Zhongfu has directly broken this drawback himself.

Whoever has the ability should become the lord. In this way, what is there to rebel against? Everyone will be convinced.

This step was crucial; it rallied people's hearts and boosted morale.

In addition, the second important change is that all the resources of the small worlds have been consolidated.

Previously, these resources were also controlled by the lords. The Small World Alliance was really a loose alliance with little money and few people.

With resources gathered, Ji Zhong's father made his own plans, investing heavily in talent, selecting outstanding individuals, and even establishing a talent cultivation system in collaboration with a university alliance.

Over the course of more than a decade, the atmosphere of the Small World Alliance has been completely transformed.

The Small World Alliance can finally say with confidence that we are one of the Eight Great Powers, a major force.

A series of changes are guiding the Small World Alliance to become stronger.

He is a more qualified leader than Zuo Dao and Fang Wai. Fang Wai and Zuo Dao sincerely admire him.

As for Bai Xiaosheng, who sat in front of Ji Zhongfu, he hadn't changed much over the years, still upholding the style of Diting Pavilion and carrying on its traditions.

The results were very good, maintaining its position in the top four of the eight major rankings.

The two became friends.

“We are not behemoths like the Four Superpowers. The great power split refers to them, not us. Moreover, even if they are divided into thirty or even a hundred parts, they are still stronger than us.”

No one understands the strength of the Four Superpowers better than the Listening Pavilion.

If an intelligence agency doesn't even know this, it doesn't deserve to be called an intelligence force.

Although it's called "Four Super Eight Greats," it's a stretch.

The Four Supers are the real Four Supers. As for the Eight Greats? They are the Eight Greats.

Even if the four superpowers were divided into one hundred parts, they would still be slightly better than the eight major powers, which speaks volumes.

Moreover, the leaders of the four super sects are all disciples of Xuan Master, and some even have more than one. How can they be compared?
He was one of the earliest cultivators to follow the Dao Master, possessing a massive body and powerful abilities.

Putting aside everything else, just consider the teleportation arrays that are now ubiquitous in cities and major cities across the world. These precious resources were all established by the Four Superpowers.

Even many roads and regions were pioneered by the Four Supermen, and they control endless secret realms and worlds.

There must be quite a few small worlds in the Small World Alliance, right?

To be honest, each of the four superpowers has more members than the small world alliance. That's strength, that's powerful resources.

The Confucian school, one of the four super-powers, has a management department that is currently managed by officials from all over the Xia Kingdom; it is simply incomparable.

Even the top eight wouldn't dare to dream of surpassing it.

Anyone who develops such potential will inevitably be suppressed.

Even the Origin Array Sect is no good; the sect leader of the Origin Array Sect is the junior brother of the Four Super Sect Master.

After listening to Bai Xiaosheng's words, Ji Zhongfu nodded in agreement: "That's true. It's not us who are splitting apart. We just need to watch the sunrise and sunset. However, there are some things we must be wary of. Fellow Daoist knows that I come from a small world."

"Could it be that certain deities have joined forces with other worlds?" Bai Xiaosheng couldn't afford to lose face in his area of ​​expertise.

So he spoke before Ji Zhongfu could finish.

"Hehe, I knew I couldn't hide it from you, fellow Daoist. What in this world can be kept from the Listening Pavilion?" Ji Zhongfu flattered.

"Alright, stop with the flattery. I'm just confident, not arrogant. Arrogance is no good." Bai Xiaosheng waved his hand, indicating that he shouldn't praise himself.

You need to have a clear understanding of your own capabilities.

"No, I'm telling the truth." Ji Zhongfu denied the flattery.

"To be honest, this might not just be a problem for the four superpowers, but also for us. The resources these enemies want are not only in the hands of the four superpowers, but also in our hands. Furthermore..."

Bai Xiaosheng then changed the subject, saying, "Who can guarantee that these enemies won't provoke the Four Superpowers, but will instead target us?"

"That makes sense, and it's exactly what I'm most worried about. They're already shaking the foundation of my Small World Alliance. Alas!"

This is the real reason why Ji Zhongfu sought out Bai Xiaosheng.

A deadly crisis has emerged, specifically targeting his Small World Alliance.

It's still because of the changes.

Previously, the only methods to learn magic were the three invincible techniques. However, with the appearance of the three great gods, many remaining sects in the small world can now learn their own sect's techniques.

I can learn and cultivate my own methods, so why do I need to join the Small World Alliance? Am I cheap?
Do I really need someone to keep an eye on me?
This greatly undermined the very foundation of the Small World Alliance's existence.

"You old codger, you came here to ask about this, didn't you?" Bai Xiaosheng laughed.

"Hehe. Indeed, I have come for this matter, hoping to ask you to perform a divination for my Small World Alliance," Ji Zhongfu said, cupping his hands in greeting.

Fortune telling is not something anyone can do.

Under the Heavenly Dao of Xuanhuang, without Xuanhuang's permission, anyone who tries to make calculations will suffer a backlash.

Even though the three great gods covered the Xia Kingdom, this permission was not granted.

There are many reasons, but it should be understood that all kinds of prophecies and calculations are experts at attracting karma.

Those who work in this line of work need to be careful in everything they do, but even so, they cannot avoid many drawbacks.

If we were to unleash our deductions, it would be tantamount to creating trouble for ourselves. Too many karmic consequences would automatically come knocking on our door, something that neither Xuanhuang nor the three great gods wanted to see.

When the universe is complete and the Heavenly Dao returns, those who wish to follow the path of Xuanhuang will be completely unaffected.

Whether one lives or dies, whether one suffers the consequences of karma or lives a carefree life, it all depends on the individual cultivator.

But I'll waive that claim under Heaven's Law; let's not get entangled in too much cause and effect.

In addition, there is another important point: although the Hundred Knowledge Master's divination has cause and effect, it can also be resolved. Loans for cultivating immortality can be repaid.

However, once the simulations and calculations are allowed, there's no guarantee.

Who knows if the cultivators who take this path will act recklessly?

For example, they only care about causing consequences, regardless of the backlash; they don't care if they die or live, they don't care what happens.

This is just ridiculous.

Moreover, cultivators' current cultivation level is still very low. It's best to study things like cause and effect, deduction, and divination with a stronger cultivation level, such as a fourth-order True King, who has their own dantian world to rely on. Only after gaining strong power can they conduct research.

In short, the method of deduction is not suitable for those with low cultivation levels, as they simply cannot bear the karmic backlash.

Many people know the art of deduction, but only the Listening Pavilion is truly recognized by everyone.

Even the trajectory of major powers can be predicted with a high probability.

"Fellow Daoist, do you know that the Dao Master once said that fortune telling and divination are actually vulgar disciplines?" Bai Xiaosheng asked.

"This? I really don't know. It's mentioned in that book. I'll go take a look." Ji Zhongfu genuinely didn't know.

"Forget it, those kinds of books are only open to me, you can't read them. Anyway, this is a sentence that the Daoist Master clearly stated at the beginning. It's not that divination and fortune-telling are inaccurate, but that it only works on ordinary people. If a genius can stand firm despite endless suffering and remain steadfast despite layers of setbacks, then so-called fate will be useless to him. He is a person who 'defies heaven,' a person whom heaven is about to entrust with a great mission, someone who will suffer hardship, toil, and emptiness..."

“That makes sense,” Ji Zhongfu pondered.

I've actually heard of such a person before, like my own ancestor, the Void God Ancestor.

It is said that he was poor and destitute in his youth, and was considered by the cultivation community at that time to be someone who could not cultivate, as he had no talent for time and his cultivation aptitude was terrible.

But what happened later? The ancestor created the Way of Space, becoming the ancestor of the Void God.

I used to think these records were just to showcase the legendary nature of our ancestors, but I never imagined they were true.

Family records, especially those with a legendary quality, are not necessarily all exaggerations.

"It's good that you agree. So what I want to say is that I have some confidence in making predictions about those below the Four Superpowers and Eight Greats, but I can't predict the Four Superpowers at all. I would be directly killed by the backlash of cause and effect. As for us Eight Greats, although I won't die, it will be by no means easy... Most importantly, it's simply not accurate."

"this?"

Ji Zhongfu was stunned.
