"I need all the information on the Immortal Technique of the Thunder Punishment Eye,"
"As you wish, we will prepare immediately,"
Tian Qingzi respectfully promised.
In the following days, Gu Jinlai had been quietly comprehending this Immortal Technique.
The turmoil in the Profound Immortal Realm and the countless fears of major and minor powers within the Northern Region seemed to have nothing to do with him.
However, before those powers could figure out how to please the Creation Gate and accept the rule of this new dominator of the Northern Region, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect made the first move.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect Master, Luo Xiao, personally led a delegation to visit the Venerable Daoist Jiang Yufeng at the original location of the Mo Family...
He also brought numerous gifts and the stance of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect recognized the ruling status of the Creation Gate in the Northern Region and hoped to maintain the prosperity and stability of the Profound Immortal Realm together with the Creation Gate, the Bai Family, the Chi Family, and the Ji Family.
The news caused quite a stir in the Profound Immortal Realm.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect...
The Mo Family and the Xuanyuan Sword Sect were of the same origin.
Even after the fall of the Mo Family, which had disgraced the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, the sect still acknowledged the dominance of the Creation Gate over the Northern Region. Wasn’t this capitulation?
However, the more discerning major forces soon felt this was to be expected.
The Xuanyuan Sword Sect, despite being stronger than the Mo Family, the Bai Family, the Chi Family, or the Ji Family, didn’t have an absolute advantage over the Four Great Families.
At least, they couldn’t act like Gu Jinlai, who had destroyed any of the four families before the others could even respond.
From this perspective, Gu Jinlai was stronger than the Xuanyuan Sword Sect.
Circumstances were more powerful than people.
In such a situation, it seemed reasonable for the Xuanyuan Sword Sect to bow down.
This news quickly reached Gu Jinlai’s ears.
Looking at Ye Yan, Zhang Yukan, Yun Fenglei, Zhong Shu, and Tian Qingzi, who was also brought in as a strategist, standing before him, Gu Jinlai was somewhat surprised, "Has the Xuanyuan Sword Sect capitulated already? As the dominator of the Profound Immortal Realm, don’t they have any trump card to turn the tables?"
Zhong Shu smiled and said, "Perhaps they have some trump cards, but these are definitely not powerful enough to dramatically cause the fall of the Mo Family."
"Yes, if they could handle the Four Great Families, they would have taken action earlier and wouldn’t allow a situation where the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Four Great Families co-govern the Profound Immortal Realm."
Ye Yan nodded in agreement.
"So it seems, by sending an envoy and announcing this news, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect is both making their stance clear and testing our stance,"
No sooner had he finished speaking when Tian Qingzi cautiously suggested, "This may be a delaying tactic by the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, but the key lies in how Sacred God Jiang plans the next steps. If you wish to strike decisively and replace the Xuanyuan Sword Sect as the master of the Profound Immortal Realm, then you can completely ignore this envoy and directly choose to march southward, putting an end to the reign of the Xuanyuan Sword Sect. If you feel the time is not yet ripe, planning to rest and recuperate for a moment, it wouldn’t hurt to meet with this Xuanyuan Sword Sect Master."
Gu Jinlai looked at him.
He thought of the Formation that Mo Ziya had laid while planning to fight to the death with him.
The Mo Family had this arrangement of releasing Immortal Techniques using the Spirit of All Living Beings as fuel. What about the Xuanyuan Sword Sect?
Moreover, with the precedent of the Mo Family, the Xuanyuan Sword Sect, as well as the Bai Family, the Chi Family, and the Ji Family would undoubtedly be cautious when he released the Supernova Explosion, implying that he could potentially crush the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Three Great Families; however,
There would be innumerable casualties and suffering.
Additionally, even if the Creation Gate overthrew the Xuanyuan Sword Sect’s rule, they wouldn’t be able to hold onto the Profound Immortal Realm with their current size, thus it was better to take a pause.
Firstly, to allow the Creation Gate to assimilate the Northern Region and produce more Cheng Ying Mechas to replenish themselves.
It would give him a good opportunity to cleanse the Northern Region and secure more Qingguang.
Once he truly matched the limit of a Nine Heavens Profound Immortal and mastered the Nine Layers of Heaven completely, and possessed one or two Immortal Techniques, then he could crush the Xuanyuan Sword Sect and the Three Great Families with devastating force at a later time.
After all, it wouldn’t take much longer.
At that moment, he had made up his mind, "Let’s meet this Xuanyuan Sword Sect Master then."
