Chapter 229 Infiltration
Returning from the Void Divine Realm, Alkaid couldn't help but express his feelings.
"It's finally time to start changing the external environment for safety."
Nine years had passed.
He had been in the Cangwu Great World for nine years.
During these nine years, aside from the initial period after his arrival, he was tirelessly working almost every moment, diligently cultivating, refining artifacts, setting arrays, and creating.
All to forge an environment that was relatively safe for him.
At least...
He never wanted to experience again that fear of life and death beyond his control like that year when the Patrol Heaven Warship from Limitless Star Palace directly oppressed him.
"Creating a safe external environment was ultimately a choice made out of necessity, but the real choice is to place oneself in absolute safety, a state immune to harm regardless of changes in the external environment, a realm where one can roam freely and carefreely...That is... to Ascend to Immortality!"
Alkaid said.
After reaching the Dharma Phase Realm, the Taiyuan Divine Refining Art had become more perfected.
This secret technique had mentioned it before.
Those with boundless physique become Human Immortals, those with boundless True Yuan become Heavenly Immortals, and those with boundless hearts become Deities.
Boundless True Yuan and hearts seemed just like a manifestation of power.
But...
Boundless physique meant indestructibility.
Indestructible, immortal, impervious to death.
This was the absolute safety he pursued.
"Thus... becoming a Human Immortal, only then can I truly reach the endpoint of my pursuit."@@@@
...
Immortal Alliance.
If one were to look solely at the data on paper, its collective strength was immense, almost not lagging much behind the Limitless Star Palace.
The whole Immortal Alliance had more than forty elite Battle Courtyards and twenty-six Patrol Heaven Warships.
And of these twenty-six Patrol Heaven Warships, the majority were Third Generation ships.
The leading flagship "White Sovereign" had reached the Fourth Generation standards through relentless accumulation of materials and an astronomical cost nearing one hundred million.
As for the remaining main Battle Courtyards and standard Battle Courtyards, needless to say, they could easily muster up hundreds.
However, compared to the relatively stable internal governmental structure of Limitless Star Palace, although the Immortal Alliance might not fall short in data on paper, because it was divided among the eight major families which had significant internal contradictions, it was merely forced to unite to jointly resist the oppression from the Myriad Beasts Sect.
In many cases, their strength was wasted in internal conflicts, which had already caused them to be left behind by Limitless Star Palace by a whole rank.
...
At this moment, Alkaid had already silently entered the territory of the Immortal Alliance alone.
With his stealthiness, acting alone was more efficient than having Tang Fenghua and others "cooperate."
Although Li Qingshan was worried for Alkaid's safety, having learned from Tang Fenghua that the methods Alkaid displayed were already close to those of an original Star God, he couldn't say much more.
He just had to have Li Hanqiu, Murong Hui, and others pay close attention to Alkaid in the Immortal Alliance, ready to rescue him at any moment.
At the same time, he mobilized the undercover agents in the Immortal Alliance to prepare for supporting Alkaid's retreat.
Seven Hills City.
This was the territory belonging to Mi Family among the eight major families of the Immortal Alliance.
And as his divine sense broke through the coverage of the life force field, Alkaid found the important person he had come to take—Alchemy Grandmaster Xie He.
He also found many heavily guarded elixirs that would be auctioned in half a month.
After merely glimpsing at them, Alkaid drew in a breath.
"Heavy Star Pill, Flame Separation Pill, Sutra Gold Pill, Divine Transformation Pill, Thunderclap Pill... They really spared no expense!"
His gaze swept over them one by one.
Based solely on the quantity and value of these pills, they were worth no less than a billion.
Of course, this was the purchase price; the actual cost would certainly not reach this figure.
But then, he saw a pill that was specially protected.
This pill...
"Hundred Apertures Star Pill!?"
Alkaid's pupils slightly narrowed.
It was actually the Hundred Apertures Star Pill that could help a Star Master open acupoints and strike at the realm of a Star God!?
And looking at this pill...
It seemed not like a pill left over from before, but rather... newly refined!?
"Has an Alchemy Grandmaster in the Immortal Alliance achieved a breakthrough, becoming a Divine Pill Saint!?"
Alkaid was somewhat surprised.
He had frequently visited the Void Divine Realm recently and dared not claim to penetrate all the secrets of the Cangwu Great World, but he had clues about more than ninety percent of them.
Yet, he had not previously heard any rumors of a level-nine Alchemy Grandmaster in the Immortal Alliance breaking through to become a Divine Pill Saint...
However, in a moment, he vaguely discerned something.
Alchemy wasn't his forte, but after reading so many alchemy books over the years, and combined with the acute nature of his divine sense, he quickly judged that the balance of this Hundred Apertures Star Pill's potency wasn't well-managed.
It was extremely domineering.
Unless it was a Star Master who was profoundly mighty, anyone with slightly lesser foundation consuming such a domineering pill risked dying on the spot due to the release of its potent force.
Alkaid thought it over and tentatively concluded.
"The Immortal Alliance wants to create a Divine Pill Saint and although it failed, they selected a somewhat effective pill from the ones produced by the person and brought it out for auction to recuperate some of the costs."
Alkaid's focus lingered on this pill.
Undoubtedly, the pill had considerable flaws.
But... Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
With his profound foundation, a realm far beyond an ordinary Star God, combined with his Divine Heart talent, the three together made it highly likely for him to break into the Star God realm upon taking this pill.
And once he entered the Star God domain, his "defense" would undoubtedly climb to a new level.
In the future, if he could open another three hundred sixty-five acupoints, and one thousand eighty acupoints, he would reach the standing equivalent to a Fifth Generation Star God.
By that time...
He would be powerful enough to withstand the Sunburst Golden Core with his own life force field without any damage.
Thinking that this step could resolve the "personal safety" issues in the Cangwu Great World, a decision formed instantly in Alkaid's mind.
"I'll take these elixirs, and the pill recipes too."
Just as a sightseeing vehicle entered the headquarters of Ascendant Tower, it stopped in the outer public area.
Alkaid got off the vehicle, his powerful divine sense covering the surroundings, quietly disappearing at the edge of public view, and he quickly made his way toward the peak of the mountain.
