Soon, the Temple of Flame was filled with one ancient, god-like figure after another, all of whom were the supreme leaders of the dominant forces from various regions.
"Gentlemen, I am very honored that you have graced me with your presence here."
Jiang Mo's gaze swept across the entire audience, and the leaders of the various sects returned his gaze with smiles.
"You flatter me, Venerable Xuan. You are the strongest in the Eastern Wilderness, and even the Immortal Realm. You swept through two forbidden zones. Who doesn't know your achievements? It is our honor to have you invite us here."
The sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect smiled and said that he was a kind-looking, venerable old man who was a bit fat and very friendly.
"There were no achievements to speak of; it was nothing more than mutual slaughter."
Jiang Mo smiled slightly, then got straight to the point:
"Just now, I destroyed another restricted area. The story goes something like this..."
Jiang Mo recounted the grudges between Li Yan Mountain and the Immortal Clan, as well as his previous confrontations with the three Forbidden Zone Lords and eight Supreme Peak Dao Lords in a straightforward manner.
"!"
"!"
"!"
The ultimate powerhouses present were horrified. In less than a day, another forbidden zone had been destroyed?!
Even more devastatingly, of the eight supreme Dao Lords who participated in this battle, five perished, three were seriously injured, and even the mysterious and unpredictable Lord of the Forbidden Zone died!
Chapter 666 Alliance
The Supreme Peak Dao Lord is the ultimate realm that beings in the Immortal Realm can evolve to. Every powerhouse at this level is qualified to become the overlord of a star field or even the universe.
Furthermore, due to the powerful laws of the Immortal Realm, their strength was weakened and greatly restricted here. In other areas where the laws were weaker, their actions would have been on the level of destroying a star sea.
Even in the Immortal Realm, with its boundless mountains and seas and countless living beings, the number of such beings in this era is no more than a hundred. In an era without darkness and turmoil, supreme Dao Lords at the peak of their realm usually do not die from fighting and killing. Instead, they often pass away and reincarnate due to the exhaustion of their lifespan.
At this moment, the leaders of the various forces in the hall were all greatly shocked upon hearing of the fall of five supreme Dao Lords. This blatantly foreshadowed an unexpected disaster that had already begun.
After Jiang Mo finished speaking, before the sect leaders could ask any further questions, the Crimson Lotus Mountain Master said in a deep voice:
"Gentlemen, don't expect to be free from now on. Mind your own business."
"Among the murderers who hunted those Dao Lords and Medicine Gods were giants from the forbidden zones. As the henchmen of the Immortal Clan, they would make their move against you sooner or later. And you are the fat prey promised to them by the Immortal Clan. In the past, when those forbidden zone rulers launched dark turmoil, it's not to say that nine out of ten times the Immortal Clan was behind the scenes manipulating and directing them, but at least five times."
“Normal restricted areas, such as the Heavenly Abyss, the Burial Soil Plateau, the Melting Magic Cave, and the Endless Sea, have not been harvested for millions of years if you do not venture there. They can even be considered safe.”
"On the other hand, those forbidden zones that repeatedly instigate dark turmoil are only being tolerated by the Immortal Clan, who intend to weaken the power of our four domains. This has been repeated many times in history."
"This time, the Immortal Clan came prepared. If we do not unite, we will be crushed by them. At that time, all races and sects will never be able to rise again and will be slaves for generations."
Chi Lian's words were unadorned, especially direct and cold.
"So what do you want us to do?"
Sect Master Xue of the Central Plains Origin Heaven Array Sect had a slightly somber expression. He did not refute the threat made by the Crimson Lotus, but instead asked about its next steps.
At this moment, a chilling, wary voice emanated from the Holy Bone Throne of the Southern Netherworld.
"The Immortal Clan and the Forbidden Zones are indeed a threat, but aren't you the same? If the three of you join forces, which power in the Immortal Realm can withstand you alone?"
"Besides, this whole mess was your doing, so why should we clean up your mess?"
The one who spoke was a strange humanoid being with a dark gold body, covered with special molten gold bones, exuding a powerful aura, like a true god from another realm. He was none other than the strongest member of the Holy Bone Throne lineage, the White Bone Holy Emperor.
Like the Flame Clan, the members of the Holy Bone Throne are all members of the Bone Clan, the same race. In legend, their ancestor was a piece of the immortal's life bone. After countless years of the immortal's decay, the life bone remained immortal, absorbing a vast amount of the essence of the sun and moon, and gradually developing spirituality. It is a terrifying existence that possesses the power of an unparalleled Dao Lord from the very beginning of life. It can differentiate its own power or use secret techniques to nurture various powerful bones in the world, extracting their residual essence and cultivating new consciousness. Over time, it has become a race of its own.
As the White Bone Saint Emperor's cold attitude was laid bare, some of the leaders present secretly agreed and complained, while others turned a deaf ear. Regardless, it created a chilling atmosphere of tension in the meeting.
The source of the disease narrowed its eyes, memorizing the person's appearance. It remained silent, choosing to keep quiet.
"Since you say I'm a threat, then I'm a threat. Shouldn't you be afraid of me?"
Jiang Mo met the gaze of the Bone Saint Emperor and slowly smiled:
"I invited you here to give you a choice: either stand with us or become a lackey of the Immortal Clan. However, even if you want to be a lackey of the Immortal Clan, you may still become food for the Forbidden Zones after you've been used up."
"Of course! You might say, 'Mystic Venerable, I won't get involved.' Fine, whatever you want. If the Immortal Clan doesn't attack you, you should be grateful. As for me, I have no intention of attacking you either."
"......"
The White Bone Saint Emperor's eyes flickered. He had a thousand things to say, but in the end, he was not satisfied with any of them and did not know how to start. Feeling very irritated, he snorted coldly and said nothing more.
Inside the hall, the Pavilion Master of the Central Continent's Life-Shaping Pavilion, a supreme Dao Lord in his prime, with thick eyebrows and large eyes, dressed in maple-brown robes, surveyed his surroundings and said without hesitation:
"Gentlemen, things have come to this point, so let's not worry about our own little plot of land anymore. It's hard to say whether we can even survive."
"Judging from the current situation, the Immortal Clan has deployed three Immortal Kings, five forbidden zone giants to assist them, and the Sunset Demon Emperor of the Eastern Wilderness for this ambush. This is certainly not the full strength of the Immortal Clan, but these nine ultimate beings could easily wipe out any of the sects or lineages present here overnight."
"As far as I'm concerned, we absolutely cannot withstand it. Anyone who thinks they can, come out and say something, let's discuss this."
"Do you have?"
After the Lord of the Shaping Life Pavilion made several calls, the leaders all shook their heads and declined, none of them daring to say they were confident. Their forces usually had 2-3 Supreme Peak Dao Lords, and at most no more than 5.
Even five of them couldn't withstand the overwhelming power of the Immortal Clan, which was almost twice as strong. The nine ultimate beings alone could easily overpower the five supreme Dao Lords.
Soon, the silence of the crowd gave the truth.
Seeing this, the Master of the Shaping Life Pavilion raised his voice again and said, "If that's the case, then why don't we unite and shoulder the calamity of the Immortal Clan? What are we waiting for? Are we naively waiting for them to come and win us over and deceive us? Our origins and roots are rooted in an indelible hatred with them. As long as such hatred exists, it can never be resolved until one side is completely destroyed."
"I absolutely do not believe any promises made by the Immortal Clan. Therefore, on behalf of the Life Shaping Pavilion, I am willing to join the Xuanzun's alliance to deal with the Immortal Clan together."
"!"
This move, witnessed by everyone, caused quite a stir in their hearts. The Life Shaping Pavilion has already jumped on the war chariot? It's ridiculously fast!
"Very well, fellow Daoist, I am more than happy to lend you a hand." Jiang Mo cupped his hands in thanks.
Immediately afterward, the old sect leader of the Artifacts and Crafts Alliance also spoke up. He stroked his beard and smiled faintly, saying, "I also have this wish. I beg the Venerable Master to save us from this dire situation."
"Senior is too kind. Then we will face the great calamity of the Immortal Clan together. If your weapon crafting headquarters is attacked, just call me and I will come. There is no need for further words. In the future, I will still need to rely on you to take good care of me in the path of weapon crafting."
"No problem, no problem. As long as the Venerable Master has any requests, just hand them over to this old man." The old sect master readily agreed.
Among the many forces, the Weaponry Alliance is almost the weakest. The sect is full of weapon refiners, and compared with the Dao Lords who have fought their way up, they seem to be not good at fighting.
Between the Immortal Clan and the Xuanzun, the old sect leader chose the latter without hesitation. The past history was enough to illustrate the cruelty and tyranny of the Immortal Clan. Therefore, the old man preferred to trust a new descendant of the forbidden zone rather than risk trying to believe that the Immortal Clan could change their past mistakes and treat them kindly in the future.
After all, it's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.
“Mystic Venerable, how can we not have an elder like me if we want to start a full-scale war with the Immortal Clan?”
Seeing that two forces had entered the fray in succession, the old Ji clan king, who was in a relatively remote location, suddenly interjected:
"We are all of the same human lineage and should overcome difficulties together. We have offended you in the past. Please forgive us, Venerable Master. You are very magnanimous."
Upon hearing the old ghost of the Ji clan speak, the source of the plague's eyes turned cold, and it said mockingly:
"Old man, no one is more pragmatic than you. You bow your head today because you are forced by circumstances, but you may very well grovel before the Immortal Clan tomorrow. How can we trust you?"
"You? Who are you? All I want is your trust, young friend Xuanzun. You, this filthy creature, dare to be so disrespectful to me?"
The old sage of the Ji clan snorted coldly, confronting the root plague head-on without fear of it.
"Alright, stop making a scene here. If you want to fight, go outside and have a good fight. Don't delay our discussion."
Among the crowd, the sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect, slightly displeased, reprimanded the two for their impolite behavior. Then, he clasped his hands and bowed to Jiang Mo, expressing his gratitude.
"Our Supreme Pill Sect is willing to join the alliance of the Profound Venerable and provide our allies with holy medicines for healing, even if it means squandering our resources."
"hiss-!"
Witnessing this person's statement, the Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord couldn't help but feel a surge of joy. The Supreme Pill Sect was a major sect, and what was even more remarkable was that... the healing elixir he mentioned was highly effective even for a Supreme Peak Dao Lord.
"May I ask, sir, how many Star Pills does your sect still possess? If you don't mind, could you tell me?"
Even the root of the plague was diverted from attention. He no longer cared about the grudge with the old ghost of the Ji clan, but instead questioned the sect master of the Supreme Pill Sect. His breathing became slightly rapid, and his mood became inexplicably expectant.
Star Pill.
This supreme holy medicine, renowned throughout the Immortal Realm, can instantly heal any injury, regardless of cultivation level, with just one pill. It's like being reborn—in an instant, without the slightest delay. Even the absorption of its medicinal power is terrifyingly fast, as if it were a gift from heaven, flowing effortlessly.
The refining of Star Pills is extremely demanding. First, it requires an ancient life star, and not just any ordinary one. The power of the divine crystal must be more than three times that of an ordinary ancient life star to qualify it as one of the ingredients for refining. In addition, it requires a large number of countless ultimate materials, making it quite rare. Finally, only the successive sect leaders of the Supreme Pill Sect can refine it, and the success rate is outrageously low, only one in a thousand.
Even in the more than 100,000 years that the Supreme Pill Sect has been passed down, there have been no more than five sect leaders who could refine this kind of pill. The rest were all limited in their skills and could not reach the highest achievement in the field of pill refining. After many failed attempts, they could not bear the cost and decided to give up and turn to refining other pills.
Seventy thousand years ago, the sixty-first sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect spent his entire life trying to refine the Star Pill, but to no avail. In the end, his Dao heart collapsed, and he died suddenly within the sect.
His true disciple succeeded him as the new sect leader, carrying on his master's will. He refined the pill for another thousand years, but failed again. Suddenly, he realized his mistake and chose to innovate, refining the incomplete version of the "Star Pill"—the Myriad Life Pill. The two pills look very similar, but their internal structure and the medicinal power they contain are quite different.
In short, the former can be used indefinitely without any weakening of its medicinal power, while the latter has only half the medicinal power of the former and is limited in the number of uses. The first use has the full effect, while the second use is severely weakened to 30%.
However, both of these pills are effective even for a Supreme Peak Dao Lord!
The reason why the root plague is so memorable is that it was defeated by this dirty thing back then. The eight ancient clans that surrounded it took out three Wan Sheng Pills, and all three of them were eaten by the three strongest members. Otherwise, it would not have lost half a move in that final showdown.
At this moment, the root of the plague really wanted to find out how many Star Pills were in the Supreme Pill Sect's reserves. If it could have one of them to help it recover its peak combat power, that would be the best thing. Even if it wasn't qualified to use Star Pills, it could eat Myriad Life Pills, which would probably bring it back to its peak combat power.
As soon as it pressed the question, everyone's attention was drawn in. The sect leader of the Supreme Pill Sect smiled tactfully and said:
"This matter concerns a top secret of our sect and cannot be disclosed to you all, but..."
Halfway through his sentence, the sect leader looked at Jiang Mo, revealing a meaningful smile with a hint of flattery, and said:
"Xuanzun is the main force in the war against the Immortal Clan. No matter what, I always have one for you here, which can help Xuanzun overcome all obstacles and is equivalent to having an extra life."
"......"
Jiang Mo chuckled a few times. How could he not sense the unspoken meaning? It was nothing more than hoping that he would protect the Supreme Pill Sect more, while at the same time showing his strategic importance. Even if the Immortal Clan targeted him and drove him to the brink of despair, all the other sects and lineages could be destroyed, but the Supreme Pill Sect could not be destroyed. If it was to be destroyed, it would be the last one to be destroyed. After all, as long as this sect was not destroyed, there was a possibility that it could continue to provide Star Pills and turn the tide of the war.
"I am deeply grateful for your kind words, senior."
Jiang Mo bowed to him. This was the foundation of a force in the Immortal Realm. One could imagine that other sects and clans would not be much weaker. When they united, even the Immortal Clan was wary of them and found it difficult to attack. Therefore, they had been conserving their strength for countless eras and had repeatedly used the forbidden zones to test and weaken the power of the four domains.
"If I may be so bold, Fellow Daoist Baili, are you capable of refining the Star Pill?"
A curious voice came from inside the hall.
"I am unworthy, and I am ashamed to say that my alchemy skills are inferior to those of the ancients. I have been practicing diligently for 1,400 years, but I have not yet reached the pinnacle."
Sect Leader Baili smiled with impeccable manners, then took an unexpected turn and said:
"Fortunately, refining the Myriad Life Pill is not a problem. As long as you all provide the materials, I will refine it for free within my capabilities, since we are all allies."
Upon hearing this, many leaders were tempted, as this secret technique would increase their chances of winning the war against the Immortal Clan.
Soon, the sect leader of the Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect could no longer sit still. She was a relatively young woman with a forthright personality, and she was also the youngest among them.
"Our Beast Taming Azure Sky Sect is also willing to join the Xuanzun's alliance."
"welcome."
With these forces making their stance clear, other leaders followed suit and joined the alliance. In the end, even the White Bone Saint Emperor, who had previously had some verbal friction with Jiang Mo, had no choice but to back down and choose to survive in the cracks.
Soon, all the Daoist lineages present joined the alliance to fight against the Immortal Clan and an unknown number of Forbidden Zone Rulers.

The meeting lasted for a day and two nights, during which various countermeasures to defend against an attack by the Immortal Clan were discussed.
For most of the eighteen hours, Jiang Mo listened as the Crimson Lotus Mountain Lord, the Sect Master of the Supreme Pill Sect, and numerous other leaders exchanged detailed information.
His job was simply to nod in agreement if someone agreed, and to start over if they disagreed.
Whoever has the greatest fighting power and the most influential voice.
As the conversation ended, the projections faded one after another, revealing the old man Ji from the Human King Clan at the very end. He cast a mysterious smile at Jiang Mo and extended another invitation:
"Mysterious Venerable, do you really not want to come and see the ancient land of my clan?"
"Here are all the secrets of the origin of the human race. You will be interested. If you can become the new royal family, your bloodline will be sublimated and your combat power will also increase. At that time, you will not have to worry about facing the immortal race and the rulers of the forbidden zones."
"Everything has a price. I'm not interested in what you're saying. Goodbye... I won't see you out."
Jiang Mo declined the old man's invitation once again.
The other party was always eager for him to go to the secret realm of the Ji clan, but Jiang Mo was secretly on guard and had a vague premonition that something was wrong. His intuition told him that now was not the time to know the truth.
"Very well, the gates of my tribe are always open for you."
Ji Yunyu smiled faintly, the wrinkles between his brows smoothing out. Then, he didn't forget to utter some harsh words to Wan'e.
"Whether it's the Myriad Life Pill or the Star Pill, even if you manage to eat it after all your scheming, it won't take me much effort to deal with you. If you want to seek revenge, be prepared to be imprisoned for tens of thousands of years again until the end of your life."
"Just wait and see." The source of the plague's expression was cold, his eyes blazing with murderous intent, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked: "You stole my cave, you took my body, your head will be mine sooner or later..."
