Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 489 - 475: Congratulations

"Let's see how intense the competition for the Dao will be this time."

Alkaid replied, "The number of Dao Lords in the Void Path is too many compared to the others, and likewise, there are many uncertainties."

The Penglai Dao Lord nodded.

The power of the Great Dao circulating around the Gate of the Northern Sea Star comprises only forty-nine types.

Most powers of the Great Dao have only three to five Dao Lords.

Like the Penglai Dao Lord's Origin Dao, the opponents she knows of are only two, perhaps there are one or two more in hiding, but...

With her current strength, even if these people stormed at her all at once, she would still be able to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm with composure.

This was also why she wanted to quickly arrange the contingency plans for the people of the Penglai Immortal Sect.

Her chances of ascending to the Immortal Realm through the Gate of the Immortal Realm were just too high.

But the Void Path was different.

In each Dao competition, there were quite a few hundred Dao Lords competing for spots, and even if those from the Void Path did not make up half, there were still sixty or seventy of them.

With such a massive base number, let alone top-tier Dao Lords, even those invincible Dao Lords who could take on ten opponents at a time would not dare to claim they could surely step into the Gate of the Immortal Realm.

Even...

"During the following period, you might as well engage more with the Ten Great Immortal Paths, Three Immortal Martial Sects, Four Great Immortal Dynasties, and their related Void Dao Lords, to build closer relationships and avoid others fearing your formidable strength and ganging up against you," advised the Penglai Dao Lord.

"Ganging up against me?"

A thought crossed Alkaid's mind, "Are you saying that the Dao Lords of the Void Path will band together to eliminate me from the competition in advance?"

"Such things are quite uncommon among other types of Dao Lords. After all, each Dao Lord of the same type is a competitor and has to beware of the others using schemes to eliminate them, making it hard to unite. However, on paths with many cultivators like the Streaming Light Dao and Great Void Path, such occurrences have happened more than once," the Penglai Dao Lord explained.

"I understand," Alkaid nodded slightly.

He saw this issue more clearly than the Penglai Dao Lord.

This was also why he hesitated about whether or not to ascend to the Immortal Realm.

Dao Lords of the same kind naturally held a hostile stance toward each other.

Perhaps the secret about "shares" only existed among a few immortals, and within the circles of Immortal Venerables and Immortal Kings, most immortals were unaware, let alone the Dao Lords.

But...

Because of this existence of "shares," a Dao Lord inherently possesses a kind of "malice" similar to a desire to kill fellow Dao Lords to seize their shares.

Moreover, according to usual inferences, the higher the "share," the stronger the "malice" among the same type of Dao Lords.

Just like those in higher positions, or those with beautiful things, those below, because they lack or can't obtain these, might irrationally hope for the downfall of those in higher positions or the destruction of beautiful entities.

Therefore...

Necessary precautions are still indispensable.

"The reason why a large number of Dao Lords gather on the Northern Sea Star only when the Gate of the Immortal Realm is about to open, and the reason other Dao Lords might pose a threat is crucial... of course, to put it in a nicer way—'kings do not see each other.'

Carrying this thought, Alkaid looked up slightly, "This war triggered by my Integrate Dao has now come to a close, thanks entirely to the Dao Lord's assistance throughout, allowing me to ascend smoothly. May I invite the Dao Lord to sit atop my peak?"

"Give it some time. You have just achieved Integrate Dao, and there must be many matters big and small for you to handle. Moreover, the Jun Tian Dao Lord and other Dao Lords from your Heavenly Dao Sect are waiting. Once you have settled these trivial matters, then it won't be too late for me to visit," said the Penglai Dao Lord, pausing for a moment, "Besides, now that you have become a Dao Lord, you seem to need to think about your future arrangements. It's not that a top sect cannot accommodate two Dao Lords, but..."

After a pause, she continued, "It depends on whether you choose to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm and ascend to the Immortal Realm. If you're not in a hurry to ascend, this issue is not so urgent."

Alkaid understood what Penglai Dao Lord meant.

He pondered for a moment and said, "Although I am the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I also hail from the Nine Cauldrons Sect. If I had not succeeded in Integrating Dao this time, so be it, but now that I have succeeded, it's only right that I separate Nine Cauldrons Sect..."

As he said this, he smiled slightly, "When the time comes, I'll strike at the Yin Moon Sect. The Moon Demon Empire under the Yin Moon Sect almost brought about destruction to the Cangwu Great World years ago. Now that I take down the Yin Moon Sect and allow the Nine Cauldrons Sect to thrive on its territory, it's also like a historical cycle."

"Are you planning to make a move against Hei Yue Demon Venerable?"

The Penglai Dao Lord, upon hearing this, did not find it strange.

After all, most of the Yin Moon Sect had already been snatched up by the Southern Region, and the only reason they had not fully exterminated the Yin Moon Sect was because the Hei Yue Demon Venerable had returned.

Now that Alkaid had ascended to Integrate Dao level, and right upon ascension, possessed top-tier Dao Lord level combat power, planning to completely expel the Yin Moon Sect and even kill the Hei Yue Demon Venerable, was not surprising.

"If you need help, just say the word," said the Penglai Dao Lord.

"Good," Alkaid said, with a slight smile, "Whenever you decide to make a move against the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals, don't be shy with me, either."

"Alright, thanks," Penglai Dao Lord genuinely had always intended to fiercely attack the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals before ascending to the Immortal Realm.

If she could kill one or two Demon Saints, causing the Nine Veins of Demon Immortals to fall into internal chaos, these Demon Race members would not have the capacity to bother the Penglai Immortal Sect in the Deep Blue Sea for a long time.

After exchanging a few more words, the Penglai Dao Lord bid farewell and left.

And Alkaid...

After a few blinks in the Void, shortly reappeared above the Heavenly Dao Sect.

At this moment, the warship carrying Jun Tian Dao Lord, Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord, and others, was still waiting there.

Periodically, they glanced toward the directions where Dao Lords Alkaid and Penglai were located.

Every Dao Lord battle could be described as earth-shattering, and within the small confines of the Northern Sea Star, the energy fluctuations radiating out were perceptible to all Dao Lords.

They, of course, could discern the locations of Dao Lords Alkaid and Penglai.

They could also realize what it meant for the aura of the Jade Kirin Demon Saint to suddenly disappear.

...

"Another Integrate Dao Level existence has fallen."

Pill Cauldron Dao Lord said somewhat emotionally.

Even though the one who had fallen this time was merely a Demon Saint from the Demon Race, it was considered good news for the Human Race.

But...

Ultimately, it was an existence on their level.

"Jade Kirin Demon Saint... With this Integrate Dao Lord, the great battle among Dao Lords that Alkaid Dao Lord's merge had sparked, has now seen an astonishing number of four Dao Lords fall."

Qing Ya Dao Lord followed.

"It's not just as simple as four."

Supreme Subtlety Dao Lord couldn't help but add, "If you also count the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord who was killed by Penglai Dao Lord years ago... In this century, the Dao Lords who have fallen directly or indirectly related to Alkaid and Penglai amount to as many as five."

Upon saying this, this Dao Lord also felt an indescribable shock in his heart.

Five Dao Lords!

A full five great Dao Lords!

Just like that, they had fallen!

Since when had such exalted beings, considered the summit of the universe, become so worthless?

At this moment, he felt immensely fortunate that during Alkaid's integration, he had chosen to remain neutral and had not participated in the siege against this heaven-sent genius like Unforbidden, Destruction, and Kunpeng had.

Otherwise...

He feared that following Unforbidden, Destruction, Kunpeng, and Abyssal Ruins, who had all fallen over the past several decades in their merge in the Void, he, Supreme Subtlety...

Frightfully might have followed in the footsteps of these four.

And become the fifth Void Dao Lord to fall at the hands of Alkaid and Penglai.

"It's truly unprecedented."

Emperor Hui Dao Lord couldn't help but glance towards the direction of Alkaid, "Even without the gimmick of reaching Dao Lord by two hundred, simply based on the bones accumulated on his path to becoming a Dao Lord, he would still merit entry into the annals of Northern Sea Star."

The other Dao Lords nodded in deep agreement.

In today's world, it's not uncommon for some Dao Lords to encounter human calamities during their Dao integration.

But which Dao Lord was like Alkaid, whose path to integration had actually required the burial of four, strictly speaking, five Dao Lords to pave the way for his integration?

Unprecedented, none before and likely none to come.

Under such sighing and emotional moments, when they sensed Penglai Dao Lord's aura fading away and Alkaid suddenly appeared, the various Dao Lords spontaneously stepped forward with smiles, bowing their hands in greeting.

"Congratulations Alkaid Dao Lord, for smoothly integrating the Dao and henceforth ascending to the pinnacle of the universe, enjoying a lifespan of 129,600 years."

"To ascend to Integrate Dao at the age of two hundred, Alkaid Dao Lord can be called the foremost person in Northern Sea since its inception! Congratulations!"

"Congratulations Alkaid Dao Lord!"

Each Dao Lord's tone was filled with friendliness and harmony.

Seeing this, Alkaid smiled and greeted each of these Dao Lords in return.

Jun Tian Dao Lord even stepped forward, "Alkaid Dao Lord, let me introduce you..."

He promptly led him directly into the circle of Dao Lords, where they engaged in lively conversation.

...

Beneath the warship.

Whether it was Zhen Xuanyuan or Gu Li, each was still in a state of "dizziness".

They felt as if the whole world had become somewhat unreal.

Just like this, they greeted Jun Tian Dao Lord, and in less than two hours, Alkaid had become a Dao Lord?

If it were some less resolute individuals, they might suspect they were dreaming.

Such was the case for the two Supreme Elders of the Shattered Void Realm, and it was no better for the other True Monarchs.

Each of them was a direct disciple of a Dao Lord, having their names on the reserve list for Dao Lords.

Yet even so, for them, a Dao Lord was still an unattainable and grand existence.

Just as True Monarchs like Ying Feng and Jingmo thought, what did it mean to be on the reserve list for Dao Lords?

Not to mention those ranked lower; even those in the top three, the first-ranked, had only about a 10 or 20 percent chance of successfully integrating the Dao to become a Dao Lord.

In other words, for someone as powerful as Tian Xiao True Monarch, the chances of successfully becoming an Integrate Dao Lord in the future were only one or two out of ten.

And even if one eventually became a Dao Lord, then what?

Could they compare to Alkaid!?

Could they compare to Alkaid who had just ascended and was able to battle those veteran Dao Lords, securing his name as a powerful being with the blood of several Dao Lords!?

At that moment, whether it was Tian Xiao True Monarch or Martial Saint True Monarch, they all felt the insurmountable gap between themselves and Alkaid, vast like a chasm.

As for those like Ying Feng True Monarch and Jingmo True Monarch who had previously vocally sought to challenge Alkaid and take his second spot on the reserve list for Dao Lords, they were now utterly silent, not daring to utter another word.

The two even lost the courage to look directly at Alkaid.

Once one integrates the Dao and achieves Dao Lord status, from then on...

The heavens and the earth differ.

They no longer belonged to the same level of world.
