Chapter 367: Seizing the Grand Competition's Top Spot, Departing from the White Cloud Realm!
Upon hearing Su Xing's words, the siblings' faces lit up with longing.
Never before had they been to such a spiritually abundant place. Cultivating in the White Cloud Realm, their progress had been slow, a direct consequence of the realm's meager spiritual energy.
Su Xing sent the siblings to the Spiritual Field Heavenly Paradise before returning to White Cloud Sect.
"For the next three years, I must constantly monitor the information about the alien races, preventing any unforeseen incidents and ensuring a smooth entry into the Celestial Mechanism Realm..."
With this thought in mind, Su Xing continued to reside within White Cloud Sect, utilizing his position as an outer sect elder to learn more about the White Cloud Realm and the Celestial Mechanism Domain.
...
In the blink of an eye, three years passed.
This was already the final year of Su Xing's immersive simulation.
Within this year, Su Xing's cultivation base had fully recovered to the True Immortal Realm, and his physical body had reached the fifth level of the Great Witch Body Tempering Art.
This meant that Su Xing's combat power had almost reached over 90% of his peak!
"Whew, three years have passed. It's time to prepare to leave the White Cloud Realm!"
Su Xing's figure flickered, and he returned to the Spiritual Field Heavenly Paradise.
In just three years, the Bai siblings' cultivation had progressed remarkably.
Bai Xiaoxiao's progress was relatively normal, and with the help of the simplified version of the Zhengyi Breathing Art and the abundant spiritual energy of the Spiritual Field Heavenly Paradise, her cultivation had barely reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage.
But Bai Yutang's cultivation progress was quite astonishing.
In just three years, his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Stage!
"Mid-stage Divine Transformation cultivation. In the upcoming sect's grand competition, it's enough to secure the top spot and attract the attention of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion!"
Su Xing looked at Bai Yutang, who was still diligently practicing his magical techniques and abilities, and pondered.
In these three years, the White Cloud Realm had undergone significant changes.
Over a third of the realm was already occupied by the alien races.
Su Xing's previous estimate was still somewhat conservative and optimistic...
At the current rate, in at most three to five years, the entire White Cloud Realm would likely fall!
As a result, the hearts of the people in the White Cloud Realm were filled with anxiety.
Both the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion and the White Cloud Sect had begun cooperating, preserving their remaining forces and preparing to evacuate the White Cloud Realm.
Su Xing's plan was to have Bai Yutang participate in the White Cloud Sect's selection competition, emerge victorious, and successfully join the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion.
At that time, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion would send powerful cultivators to receive these disciples and return to the Celestial Mechanism Realm.
"Master, this disciple will absolutely not disgrace your mission! I will win the top spot in this sect's grand competition!"
Bai Yutang assured him confidently, his demeanor much more assured than years ago.
Soon, the day of the grand competition arrived.
Tens of thousands of White Cloud Sect disciples, as well as many loose cultivators from outside, were eligible to participate in this competition.
And among the judges observing the competition were powerful figures from the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion!
A figure sat above the White Cloud Sect Master's seat, observing the disciples within the White Cloud Sect. After a long while, he shook his head slightly and said:
"Sigh, the quality of cultivators in this realm is uneven... It's difficult to find any geniuses!"
"Among tens of thousands of cultivators, there are only one or two truly good seedlings..."
As he spoke, the cultivator took a sip of wine, his tone tinged with a hint of disdain.
Speaking these words in front of the White Cloud Sect Master and a host of elders, yet the White Cloud Sect Master didn't dare to retort.
Instead, he put on a fawning smile and said:
"Senior, our White Cloud Realm is just a small realm... Naturally, it cannot compare to those grand cosmic realms..."
"However, I have a matter I'd like to inquire about... I wonder how many disciples from our White Cloud Realm can be expected to successfully escape and travel to the Celestial Mechanism Realm?"
After hearing the White Cloud Sect Master's words, the cultivator pondered for a moment before saying:
"This time, I've been ordered to receive talented disciples from various realms to ensure that the surviving forces can safely return to the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion."
"The alien race invasion isn't limited to the White Cloud Realm. Other worlds are also under attack, so the number of quotas allocated to the White Cloud Realm is limited..."
Pausing, the cultivator continued:
"For the entire White Cloud Realm, approximately eight thousand cultivators below the Transcending Tribulation Stage can leave this realm..."
"But, to be truly accepted as peripheral members by our Celestial Mechanism Pavilion, there are only fewer than a hundred spots available."
Upon hearing this, the White Cloud Sect Master's face turned pale.
In the vast White Cloud Realm, only a mere eight thousand spots!
This meant that the White Cloud Realm would likely only have eight thousand cultivators survive, preserving their remaining forces and returning to the Celestial Mechanism Realm.
This number, compared to the entire White Cloud Realm, was a mere drop in the ocean.
But in the face of the aggressively invading alien races, being able to save these eight thousand plus individuals was already quite remarkable.
As for the rest, they could only rely on their own luck...
"Sigh, at this point... It's best to save as many as we can!"
"These children are the future hope of our Celestial Mechanism Domain!"
The White Cloud Sect Master's face was filled with worry as he looked at the tens of thousands of disciples in the arena, his heart filled with desolation.
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator remained silent, only increasing the speed at which he drank his wine.
Su Xing, seated among the elders, also shook his head after hearing these words.
"In the vast White Cloud Realm, the number of cultivators exceeds hundreds of millions?"
"Yet, only eight thousand can be saved... This number is already indicative of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion's resources!"
Su Xing shook his head slightly. The invasion of the alien races was a similar situation in the Little Green Cloud Realm. After its destruction, almost no major forces had proactively recruited disciples or cultivators to preserve their surviving forces. The Little Green Cloud Realm had endured hundreds of years of conflict and was still in this state.
The White Cloud Sect was caught off guard, only a few years into the invasion, yet they already had these preparations. It showed the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion's strength.
Su Xing glanced at the cultivator seated above, his eyes flashing with an unusual light.
"This cultivator's strength doesn't seem to be weaker than Zi Ling Fairy!"
"A peak Golden Immortal cultivator, or perhaps even a Grand Pure Yang Immortal?"
"With this expert escorting them, as long as nothing unexpected happens, they should be able to reach the Celestial Mechanism Realm safely!"
Thinking this, Su Xing turned his gaze to Bai Yutang among the participating disciples and said:
"Then, next, it's up to A Yu's performance!"
As the grand competition officially began, colorful magical techniques soon flashed through the arena.
In the arena, every disciple gave their all. Before participating in the grand competition, they all knew that this was a match that would change their destinies.
Bai Yutang, possessing Divine Transformation Stage cultivation, easily surpassed his younger peers, rising through the ranks.
Outside the arena, the White Cloud Sect Master acted as the commentator.
"Senior, please look. That man in the golden eagle robe is a third-generation disciple of our White Cloud Sect. He's not yet a hundred years old, and yet he already possesses Divine Transformation Stage cultivation... His Eagle Control Art is already exceptionally refined."
"And that young woman displaying the Hundred Flowers Art, barely sixty years old, has already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage. She has great potential!"
The White Cloud Sect Master enthusiastically described and praised the disciples in the arena, desperately hoping to catch the eye of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion expert.
Then, the White Cloud Realm could obtain more quotas to escape to the Celestial Mechanism Realm.
But the cultivator didn't even bother to raise his head, simply continuing to drink his wine.
The White Cloud Sect Master didn't get angry; instead, he continued his enthusiastic commentary.
After drinking for a while, the bright daylight had turned into night.
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator suddenly raised his head, pointed at a certain location in the arena, and asked:
"Who is that young man? He seems interesting..."
The White Cloud Sect Master, caught off guard, looked in the direction he pointed, recalling for a while before uncertainly saying:
"That young man seems to be Elder Ye's direct disciple... I haven't seen him in a few years, and his cultivation has improved so much?"
As the White Cloud Sect Master, he paid more attention to well-known cultivators. In recent years, he hadn't paid much attention to newly promoted disciples.
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator took a sip of wine and said:
"In the entire White Cloud Sect, only this young man has caught my eye."
"Not yet twenty years old, yet he's already reached the mid-stage of the Divine Transformation Stage! He also possesses a Nine Turns Golden Core and a superior Nascent Soul... His foundation is solid, and his magical techniques and abilities are all exceptional."
"Such talent, even in the grand cosmic realms, is quite rare!"
"If I'm not mistaken, this young man should possess some kind of extraordinary physique..."
At this point, the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator paused, turned to the White Cloud Sect Master, and asked:
"Is Elder Ye nearby? Could you have him come here for a chat?"
Upon hearing this, the White Cloud Sect Master's face lit up with joy.
What was he trying so hard to promote his disciples for?
Wasn't it to catch the eye of this important figure?
As long as the White Cloud Realm showed enough value, the number of cultivators who could safely escape to the Celestial Mechanism Realm would definitely exceed eight thousand!
Thinking this, the White Cloud Sect Master quickly said:
"Quickly invite Elder Ye to come for a chat..."
Soon, Su Xing was invited over and introduced to this Celestial Mechanism Pavilion elder.
"That young man, is he your disciple?"
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator took a sip of wine and asked with interest.
Su Xing nodded slightly, neither humble nor arrogant, and said:
"Eighteen years ago, I found this young man. He was born with a congenital blocked meridian, unable to consume pills, yet his cultivation speed far surpasses ordinary people..."
"After more than ten years of training, this kid has made some progress, and recently broke through to the Divine Transformation Stage."
"He also has an older sister, who has now reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Stage."
Su Xing spoke, pointing to another figure fighting in the arena.
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator nodded slightly, took a sip of wine, and said:
"You're quite lucky! Such talent, even in the top sects of the grand cosmic realms, is quite rare!"
"If he keeps working hard, exceeding your cultivation... even becoming a Heavenly Immortal isn't impossible!"
The White Cloud Sect Master listened quietly, but his heart was filled with joy. After waiting for a while, he interjected:
"Elder Ye is truly blessed! With only a Primordial Yuan Realm cultivation... yet he has such a talented disciple, truly enviable!"
Upon hearing the White Cloud Sect Master's words, the cultivator's face showed a strange expression, and he blurted out:
"Primordial Yuan Realm cultivation? Sect Master Bai, I think you've made a mistake..."
"Elder Ye's Qi cultivation has clearly reached the Earth Immortal Realm, and even practices Qi and Body dual cultivation. His body cultivation is no weaker than his Qi cultivation!"
Upon hearing the words of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator, the White Cloud Sect Master was stunned, and looked at Su Xing with a hint of resentment.
He was only a mere Human Immortal Realm cultivator... how did he take on Elder Ye, who had the cultivation of an Earth Immortal?
That look clearly said: Elder Ye, you've kept this from me for so long!
Su Xing chuckled twice and said:
"In previous years, to avoid some enemies, and to better care for the siblings, I concealed some of my cultivation. Please don't blame me."
How could Sect Master Bai blame Su Xing? He was too happy to be upset.
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator, finally finding a promising seedling in the White Cloud Realm, was in a much better mood.
Sect Master Bai and the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion elder chatted for a while, then seized the opportunity to say:
"Senior, what do you think about the number of cultivators from our White Cloud Realm who can go to the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion this time?"
The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator nodded slightly and said:
"It's not easy to cultivate cultivators in the White Cloud Realm. This time, let's round it up to ten thousand spots. After the grand competition is over, you can all leave with me to return to the Celestial Mechanism Realm."
Sect Master Bai couldn't stop smiling.
Two thousand more cultivators meant that the White Cloud Realm had preserved more hope.
...
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The results of the White Cloud Grand Competition finally emerged.
Combining factors such as age, aptitude, cultivation level, and combat strength, Bai Yutang undoubtedly became the champion of the grand competition!
Even Bai Xiaoxiao made it into the top ten of the grand competition's overall ranking.
After the grand competition ended, it was time for the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion cultivator to speak.
The cultivator leaped into the air, hovered above the sky, and announced to the hundreds of thousands of cultivators below:
"I am Xiao Zhanlong, a guest elder of the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion. This time, I am selecting ten thousand cultivators from the White Cloud Realm to undergo advanced training in the Celestial Mechanism Realm."
"Please have the cultivators on the list prepare within three days. Each person can bring up to five close relatives with them to leave."
Upon hearing the cultivator's words, some of the disciples below showed signs of joy, while others felt despair.
In recent years, the war situation in the White Cloud Realm has been tense, and some disciples have already learned about what will happen to the White Cloud Realm.
If they could leave now, they could still save their lives.
If they couldn't leave, they would likely face a grim future...
Seeing the despair on the faces of most of the disciples below, Xiao Zhanlong showed a look of pity and said:
"Those cultivators who weren't selected don't need to worry... Our Celestial Mechanism Pavilion will dispatch a large number of cultivators to support various realms as soon as possible!"
"I believe that the White Cloud Realm will certainly be able to hold on..."
Having said that, Xiao Zhanlong didn't want to stay any longer and left the scene.
Although Xiao Zhanlong said that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion would definitely send support, everyone present knew in their hearts that the vast majority of the cultivators and ordinary people in this realm would die in the White Cloud Realm.
...
On the other hand, after the grand competition ended, the Bai siblings came to Su Xing and boasted:
"Master, we didn't disappoint you this time, did we?"
Achieving first place in the White Cloud Grand Competition in just a few years was naturally quite impressive.
But Su Xing only praised them a little and then said:
"You should prepare yourselves as soon as possible. We're about to leave the White Cloud Realm..."
"Remember, the Celestial Mechanism Domain is your stage... Don't just limit yourselves to the small White Cloud Sect!"
The Bai siblings nodded, seemingly understanding but also confused.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
On this day, a giant ship that blotted out the sky appeared above the White Cloud Sect.
This was an incredibly large immortal vessel!
Its hull alone stretched for several thousand meters, like a long dragon.
Su Xing could tell at a glance that the quality of this immortal vessel was no lower than a Heavenly Artifact!
But unlike Su Xing's Star Moon Vessel, this vessel was more suitable for carrying a large number of low-level cultivators.
Tens of thousands of White Cloud Realm cultivators, including Su Xing and his three disciples, boarded the immortal vessel.
Half a day later, the immortal vessel turned into a streak of light and flew towards the outside world...
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 368: Immersive Simulation Ends, The White Emperor Appears!
The immortal vessel departed from the White Cloud Realm, transforming into a streak of light as it sailed through the void.
Through the transparent protective barrier of the immortal vessel, the cultivators within could easily see the outside world.
Due to Bai Yutang's outstanding performance, the three of them were granted a relatively independent room where they could rest.
The siblings, experiencing their first departure from the White Cloud Realm, saw the world beyond, and just like Su Xing had experienced, their hearts were filled with curiosity.
But after a while, the monotonous scenery of the void became somewhat tedious.
Su Xing, however, was accustomed to void travel and merely observed the situation within the vessel.
The interior space of this immortal vessel was extremely vast, yet it held hundreds of thousands of cultivators.
These individuals were not only from the White Cloud Realm but also from various other worlds.
According to Xiao Zhanlong, they had collected cultivators from seventy-eight worlds to travel to the Celestial Mechanism Realm in advance.
...
When Su Xing opened his eyes again, he had returned to the real world.
"Whew... This immersive simulation has finally ended!"
"I've gained a lot from it!"
Su Xing sighed with a touch of emotion. Ten years of immersive simulation.
Su Xing had befriended the Bai siblings, experienced a decline and subsequent recovery in his cultivation, and deepened his understanding of the Immortal Cultivation path.
More importantly, Su Xing had successfully reached the Celestial Mechanism Domain and begun to explore its situation!
"If nothing unexpected happens, hopefully, this simulation will allow me to meet the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion Master and figure out some things..."
Su Xing recalled that before the end of this immersive simulation, he was still on the immortal vessel.
The immortal vessel had departed from the White Cloud Realm and was heading towards the Celestial Mechanism Realm.
It would need to pass through hundreds of minor cosmic realms and make stops to pick up more cultivators along the way.
Therefore, the entire process would take about thirty years.
When Su Xing's immersive simulation ended, the immortal vessel was still traveling through the void.
"Next, I hope we can successfully reach the Celestial Mechanism Realm..."
"Although there's a powerful cultivator like Xiao Zhanlong escorting us, I have an inexplicable sense of foreboding..."
Su Xing shook his head slightly.
In this immersive simulation, he had gained a great deal.
This gain was more of a growth in his mental state...
Su Xing hadn't experienced any significant setbacks throughout his cultivation journey. However, the cultivation rebuilding in this immersive simulation would pave a smoother path for his future.
Even a Great Sage Immortal should be cautious and thoughtful about their mental state.
Su Xing's situation, even more so, required growth in his mental state!
After pondering for a while, Su Xing turned his gaze to the simulation panel.
[In the 290th year, you boarded the immortal vessel and sailed through the void with a group of cultivators, departing from the White Cloud Realm and heading towards the Celestial Mechanism Realm.]
[In the blink of an eye, ten years passed...]
[During these ten years, you remained on the immortal vessel, recovering your cultivation every day.]
[In the 300th year, your cultivation finally fully recovered!]
[At the same time, in this year, your disciple Bai Yutang successfully broke through to the Returning Void Stage!]
[And Bai Xiaoxiao also successfully broke through to the Divine Transformation Stage...]
[Over these ten years, under Xiao Zhanlong's leadership, you have stopped at more than ten minor cosmic realms, selecting talented cultivators to go to the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion.]
[As the number of realms visited increased, the number of available spots on the immortal vessel decreased, almost reaching its full capacity.]
[In the 310th year, the immortal vessel was carrying millions of low-level cultivators from over a hundred different worlds, all heading towards the Celestial Mechanism Realm.]
[As the number of cultivators on the immortal vessel grew, you had a vague sense of foreboding.]
[Those on board, millions of cultivators with exceptional aptitude, were from various worlds.]
[From the Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation Stages to cultivators at the Transcending Tribulation Immortal Stage... they could be considered the hope of the Celestial Mechanism Domain for the next thousand to ten thousand years!]
[If this immortal vessel were destroyed, the Celestial Mechanism Domain might experience a cultivator drought for the next ten thousand years.]
[Such a great opportunity, the alien races and the Descending Church that have invaded the Celestial Mechanism Domain would not miss it...]
In the real world, Su Xing saw this and his expression became serious.
"That's right, every Divine Transformation Stage cultivator on this immortal vessel... could potentially become an Immortal in hundreds or thousands of years!"
"Ten thousand years later, those cultivators could potentially become Heavenly Immortals or even True Immortals!"
"If I were a member of the Descending Church... I wouldn't give up such a golden opportunity!"
Thinking this, Su Xing became increasingly certain that the Descending Church had prepared a backup plan to attack this immortal vessel!
"Then, next, we'll see how the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion responds..."
Su Xing was puzzled. The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion couldn't have missed this, and they must have prepared a countermeasure.
It was just unknown whether this countermeasure would be sufficient.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[More than a year passed, and the immortal vessel successfully passed through several minor cosmic realms, and the immortal vessel was nearly full of cultivators.]
[And you were getting closer and closer to the Celestial Mechanism Realm...]
[But you noticed that the closer you got to the Celestial Mechanism Realm, the more cautious Xiao Zhanlong, the person in charge of this trip, became.]
[Xiao Zhanlong, who originally loved drinking, hadn't touched a drop of alcohol for three years... as if he was dealing with something.]
[From Xiao Zhanlong's state, you could easily guess that something was about to happen.]
[In the 315th year, Bai Xiaoxiao successfully broke through to the peak of the Divine Transformation Stage.]
[And Bai Yutang, with his amazing aptitude, was not far from the Unity Stage.]
[This year, your understanding of the Dao almost fully recovered. You began to use the Cause and Effect Destiny Dao to predict the future's good fortune and misfortune.]
[But no matter how many times you divined, you felt an invisible mist, as if it was blocking your divination.]
[You even went so far as to spend a thousand years of your lifespan to barely divine that there would be a calamity within the next six months.]
[But how this calamity would come, you couldn't know.]
[Being naturally cautious, you told your two disciples to hide in your portable Heavenly Paradise in the coming days to prevent any accidents.]
[In the blink of an eye, several months passed.]
[One day, as expected, strange fluctuations emanated from the void outside the immortal vessel.]
[A beam of light shot from tens of thousands of miles away and hit the immortal vessel precisely.]
[Fortunately, at the same time, a transparent formation restriction rose from the immortal vessel, firmly blocking the beam of light.]
[Even so, the entire immortal vessel shook violently.]
[You, who were meditating in your room, were awakened by the sudden shaking and felt many powerful auras rapidly approaching through the barrier.]
[Seeing this, you sighed. It seemed that the attack had arrived!]
[The next second, Xiao Zhanlong stepped through the void and landed on the immortal vessel, his gaze fixed on a certain direction tens of thousands of miles away.]
[The immortal vessel and the attackers were heading towards each other, and within moments, they were close.]
[And you finally saw the enemy that was lying in wait!]
[It was an entire alien race army, numbering over ten thousand!]
[Every alien race member was a being above the Divine Realm.]
[You even sensed that more than half of them possessed True God strength... and many alien races had the power comparable to True Immortals and Profound Immortals!]
[What shocked you even more was that every alien race member in this army had red eyes!]
[The leader of the alien race, his aura alone made your heart tremble...]
[Compared to the forces on this immortal vessel, the strength of the alien race army was far superior!]
[You were curious. Faced with such a powerful enemy, how would Xiao Zhanlong respond?]
In the real world, Su Xing's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this.
The strength of the alien race army was within Su Xing's expectations.
But these red-eyed alien races...
"Hiss~ Why are red-eyed alien races here?"
"Could it be that Red Moon didn't die back then... and even came to the Celestial Mechanism Domain!"
Su Xing's face grew serious. He knew how troublesome Red Moon was, and he knew how powerful and numerous the red-eyed alien races were.
And this Red Moon, so difficult to kill, had survived the siege of two Grand Pure Yang Immortals, and had actually come to the Celestial Mechanism Domain?
"The Celestial Mechanism Domain... is it the next target for Red Moon and the alien races?"
Su Xing understood the importance of this information.
Red Moon's trouble wasn't just her own powerful strength, but also the constant threat of the red-eyed alien races to humanity!
"However, I can't worry about that right now..."
"Whether the immortal vessel can withstand this crisis is still uncertain... If it really can't hold, I'll just have to run away!"
Thinking this, Su Xing looked at the simulation panel.
[As the alien race army got closer and closer to the immortal vessel.]
[Xiao Zhanlong, standing alone on the immortal vessel, couldn't help but look serious.]
[The next second, he let out a hearty laugh, a wine gourd appeared in his hand, and he drank half of it in one gulp. A celestial sword engraved with a golden dragon appeared in Xiao Zhanlong's hand.]
[Then, with a single strike, the sword light stretched for tens of thousands of miles, directly slaying thousands of alien race gods!]
[Under this single strike, all alien race gods below the powerful divine power level were killed.]
[More than 80% of the ten thousand alien races were directly annihilated... Only 20% of the alien races remained, and most of them were injured, looking at Xiao Zhanlong in terror.]
[The power of this single strike had already surpassed the Golden Immortal stage and reached the Grand Pure Yang stage!]
[But the alien races didn't panic for long. Soon, the leader of the alien races stepped through the void and appeared a hundred miles away from the immortal vessel.]
[Seeing this, Xiao Zhanlong's expression turned serious, because this was an alien race god comparable to a Grand Pure Yang Immortal!]
[Without any hesitation, the strongest combatants on both sides engaged in battle...]
[The confrontation between Grand Pure Yang Immortals, every move could destroy a world.]
[If the alien race god was allowed to free his hands, the immortal vessel would definitely be destroyed, and millions of cultivators would die... The future of the entire Celestial Mechanism Domain could experience a cultivator drought.]
[And on the alien race side, the powerful alien race god blocked Xiao Zhanlong, and the remaining alien race gods charged towards the immortal vessel, beginning a slaughter.]
[But there wasn't only Xiao Zhanlong guarding the immortal vessel.]
[The next second, hundreds of powerful cultivators leaped from the immortal vessel. These cultivators all possessed strength above the Heavenly Immortal level, and the strongest among them was even close to the Profound Immortal realm. They flew towards the alien race gods, and the battle was about to begin.]
[The entire immortal vessel fell into chaos in an instant, and countless cultivators' hearts were in their throats.]
[Once the immortal vessel was hit, these millions of cultivators would have no way to survive in the void.]
[Compared to these cultivators, you were much calmer, your divine sense constantly sensing Xiao Zhanlong's battle.]
[You knew that only the battle between Xiao Zhanlong and the alien race leader would determine the fate of the entire immortal vessel!]
[Once Xiao Zhanlong was defeated, millions of cultivators would die!]
[But based on your observations, the two seemed to be evenly matched, and this battle might last for several years.]
[And the immortal vessel continued to sail towards the Celestial Mechanism Realm as planned.]
[If it continued at this speed, the immortal vessel might be able to safely reach the Celestial Mechanism Realm.]
[However, things still went beyond expectations.]
[Under the cover of the alien races, a group of people in black robes quietly approached the immortal vessel...]
[Under your divine sense, this group of people numbered about ten, and the weakest among them possessed Heavenly Immortal cultivation... while the leader's cultivation was beyond your ability to perceive!]
In the real world, Su Xing frowned upon seeing this.
"The leader of the black-robed people, at least... has the strength of a Golden Immortal or even a Grand Pure Yang Immortal!"
Su Xing suddenly felt a sense of unease.
When it came to organizations that favored black robes, Su Xing's first thought was the Descending Church!
"Then... is the leader Blood Two? Or one of the top ten executives?"
Su Xing was secretly worried. If it was indeed Blood Two...
If there wasn't a Grand Pure Yang Immortal present, it would be difficult to stop him!
"It seems I'm in trouble! These millions of cultivators and the immortal vessel will probably not survive... I should take the siblings and run away as soon as possible!"
Su Xing felt a sense of helplessness.
If it was truly Blood Two, Su Xing couldn't do anything about it.
His gaze returned to the simulation panel.
[On the immortal vessel, you were secretly wary of that group of people, ready to run at any moment.]
[And obviously, it wasn't just you who noticed them. Xiao Zhanlong also discovered them.]
[But surprisingly, Xiao Zhanlong didn't panic at all, simply focusing on dealing with the alien race god.]
[You also noticed this, and your heart was filled with curiosity. Could it be that the Celestial Mechanism Pavilion still had a backup plan?]
[So you felt a little relieved and began to observe that group of people.]
[Within a few breaths, that group of people was less than ten miles away from the immortal vessel.]
[At this speed, the immortal vessel might be destroyed the next second!]
[However, at this moment, a simple, unadorned wooden sword flew out from the immortal vessel, instantly piercing through that group of people.]
[The next second, nine of the ten black-robed individuals died instantly, including a peak Profound Immortal in black robes!]
[Only the leader of the black-robed individuals barely blocked the attack, but his expression turned grim.]
[Seeing this, you were shocked. Could there be another sword cultivator hidden on the immortal vessel?!]
[And judging by the power of this sword technique, instantly killing a peak Profound Immortal... this is likely a Sword Immortal above the Grand Pure Yang stage!]
[Your heart settled down slightly, and you quietly waited for the outcome of this battle.]
[The leader of the black-robed individuals, upon seeing the wooden sword, sneered: "The Celestial Mechanism Pavilion is quite generous, actually inviting the White Emperor himself to escort them!"]
