Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 512 - 498 Immortal Sect

```

The starry sky is vast and splendidly mysterious.

Alkaid stood on the bridge, "watching" the vast, boundless Star Sea through an observation platform that not only offered an excellent view but was also equipped with a perception formation.

In the world, the most awe-inspiring things are, on the one hand, the moral standards in the minds of the lofty, and on the other...

The vast and brilliant starry river above one's head.

At the moment, Alkaid found himself in the Star Sea, swimming freely through it.

Even though the power he possessed could shatter the stars in the sky with but a slight draw of the power of the Great Dao, and extinguish all the stars in sight, he...

still immersed himself in this beautiful scenery.

"In the final analysis, I have cultivated for too short a time. To this day, less than six hundred years, and the thinking of ordinary people still influences me,"

Alkaid said.

And to ordinary people...

If one could really embark on such a starry space journey one day...

Even death would be worth it.

Especially when occasionally passing by civilizations, which could provide a refreshing change of pace.

Although tasked with the goal of becoming a Human Immortal in a foreign land, Alkaid would still pause and linger when passing by some particularly unique planets.

He would taste all manner of food on planets inhabited by beings especially sensitive to taste.

He would also indulge in the highest-end musical performances on planets where the beings were sensitive to sound.

Sometimes, his warship would stop in a region that had recently undergone a supernova explosion to observe the scattered radiance across the sky.

It would also travel along the edges of black holes, watching as a massive black hole dragged one or even several stars into long bands of light.

The long journey through the universe was not lonely, but rather rich and interesting.

Of course, there would occasionally be some troubling incidents.

Cultivators are the mainstream of the universe.

Especially Dao Lords, who have grasped the fundamentals of the Great Dao and stand at the pinnacle of the universe.

Their strength naturally leads cultivation civilizations to flourish across swathes of starry space.

But Dao Lords are after all a minority.

Planets like Cangwu Great World are more common.

Species with sufficiently high cultivation, who have achieved a certain degree of longevity, easily become the targets of study and hunting by stellar level civilizations.

He saw civilizations imprison Golden Core Realm cultivators to study their longevity.

He also witnessed wars erupt through naturally formed Stellar Sects between technological and cultivation civilizations.

He even witnessed civilizations releasing special substances, causing anomalous change within the cultivation world's system, turning cultivation into a nightmare for all cultivators.

Of course, there were also cultivators who resisted and transformed these technological civilizations.

Although these encounters were fundamentally concentrated on the "Golden Core" level, Alkaid's long journey exposed him to a broader array of conflicts.

More than half of all civilizations are almost always in a state of chaos.

They fight hostile forces if they have them, and if not, they fight civil wars, often only coming to a peace that has been absent for too long when one side suffers too great a loss to bear or their civilization is directly destroyed.

Even Alkaid himself had been targeted by a powerful technological civilization capable of harnessing the zero-point energy of the void.

This civilization, with a history of over a hundred thousand years, had developed the ability to bind Hollow Void Realm cultivators through their use of void zero-point energy.

They had imprisoned not just one, but multiple Hollow Void Realm cultivators within their civilization.

Using the Chaos Void and Hollow Void Realm cultivators as energy sources, they continually researched and developed this power, at one point spreading the glory of their civilization across an entire star system, conquering planet after planet.

In their vast empire, the number of life planets they owned was in the tens of thousands, and the count of their resource planets was innumerable.

Alkaid originally had no intention of dealing with such a civilization, but...

One of their patrolling warships apparently mistook him for a Hollow Void Cultivator and initiated an attack, attempting to capture him.

In response, Alkaid didn't pay much attention. He simply altered the parameters of the void within the range of that star system through the use of the Great Void Technique.

With just this small adjustment, the powerful empire that harnessed the zero-point energy of the void was thrown into chaos and crumbled within months.

Combined with the rise of forces and cultivators that had been suppressed by this civilization taking the opportunity to rise up...

It was foreseeable that, whether in a few decades or a few centuries, this powerful empire that had developed over a hundred thousand years would turn to historical dust and head towards irreversible destruction.

In this not-so-lonely journey, Alkaid spent eighty years to reach the location of the Stellar Sect marked on the Abyssal Ruins Dao Lord's star chart.

The reason it took so much time...

Was mainly for the modification of his warship.

Plus, having never undertaken such a long space journey, Alkaid was somewhat fascinated, which delayed his progress.

But now...

A vast continent appeared in Alkaid's vision.

This continent was somewhat similar to Cangwu Great World yet was much larger.

It was like an ultra-large spatial node that had collapsed.

Due to the collapse of this spatial node, a special spatial barrier was naturally formed, making it so unless one was close to this region, or happened to be a Hollow Void Realm or higher cultivator living within a million light-years, they would normally not perceive the existence of this region.

And a million light-years...

While sounding vast and majestic, is actually insignificant in the vastness of the universe.

It's even more difficult than finding a one-kilometer hill on a planet.

"A very secretive Gate of the Immortal Realm, however..."

```

Alkaid perceived the "flowing" pattern of this region towards that world.

This area now resembles a rapidly growing supermassive Chaos Void. As time passes, it will drag in several nearby star systems, pulling planets and stars from those systems into it.

Especially over time, the number of star systems it pulls will increase, and its range will expand. Eventually, star systems within tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of light-years will be drawn in, creating a massive gravitational sink, thus attracting the attention of various Dao Lords and leading to its discovery.

However, this time cycle will take at least several hundred thousand to millions of years.

In other words, within a hundred thousand years, the Cultivators who can discover the Gate of the Immortal Realm are, at most, those within a few million light-years or, at the very most, tens of millions of light-years away.

Unless they intentionally spread the word.

However, given that the Northern Sea Star, a mere three billion light-years away, knows nothing of this Stellar Sect...

The forces entrenched in this expanse of stars have kept the existence of this Stellar Sect tightly under wraps.

They want to monopolize this Stellar Sect.

In contemplation, Alkaid took a step onto the void and descended towards this special world wrapped in twisted space.

But just as he was about to enter this world, his proficiency in Fifteenth Level Formations made him sense something.

"Formation?"

Upon closer inspection...

Enveloping this special space was indeed a super-grand Formation.

A Fifteenth Level Formation.

"This world harbors a master," Alkaid genuinely marveled.

At that moment, he scrutinized the Formation closely.

Although he could quickly break through and kill within a Fifteenth Level Formation, even one presided over by a Dao Lord, who could guarantee how many Dao Lords were inside this Formation?

Eight or ten would be fine.

Relying on his foundation as a Human Immortal, dealing with them wouldn't be difficult.

But what if there weren't just eight or ten, but instead dozens or hundreds?

He wasn't yet strong enough to match the likes of Hongmeng Dao Venerable or Creation Dao Venerable.

The risk of falling would still be present if over a hundred Dao Lords swarmed him, along with the Formation's obstruction.

Alkaid surveyed the Formation, and with his Sixteenth Level Formation expertise, he had identified its origin in just a moment.

As he casually accessed his mental archive, he had almost fully deduced the operation and effects of the Formation.

"Hundred Tribulations Realm Refinement Formation. If the number of Dao Lords presiding over the Formation does not exceed thirty, it can be broken within a year," Alkaid concluded.

Just as he was about to examine the Hundred Tribulations Realm Refinement Formation in detail, the Formation, rooted in the world below, was stimulated to its limit.

A mist surged rapidly upward like Chaos smoke, swiftly enveloping Alkaid within.

"Is this... the Formation's overlimit state!?" Alkaid quickly realized.

At the cost of reducing the stability of the Formation, the range was suddenly expanded, pulling in creatures that were originally outside, deeming themselves safe, to devour and refine.

As the Formation swept over, Alkaid immediately activated True Spirit's Light.

Piercing through the essence of the soul, the Soul Dao Technique, enhanced by the Semi-Immortal Artifact, the Eight Desolations Celestial Mirror, instantly lit up the world, and before him, clearly, were thirteen figures capable of resonating with the Great Dao.

"Thirteen Dao Lords!" Alkaid sighed with relief.

Only thirteen Dao Lords controlled and monopolized the Gate of the Immortal Realm, which made things easier.

With their ranks and the power of the Formation, even invincible Dao Lords would fall within it. However, Alkaid's combat power at this moment...

Clearly, could not be measured by those invincible Dao Lords who could fight one against ten!

After a glance at the operation pattern of the Hundred Tribulations Realm Refinement Formation, Alkaid dashed straight towards the thirteen Dao Lords.

His perception lingered on the three Void Dao Lords for a moment, but...

He didn't strike at these three Void Dao Lords immediately; instead, he quickly unfolded the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory.

Once the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory unfolded, the perception and connection among the thirteen Dao Lords were instantly disrupted.

Yet, the four who practiced Soul Dao Techniques managed to break free from the enclosure of the Eight Desolates Heavenly Territory instantly. One of them seemed to possess a Dao Technique that allowed for a perfect understanding of intent, ensuring the thirteen could coordinate flawlessly.

This scene...

Alkaid's pupils narrowed slightly.

"A key figure, huh?" he inhaled softly.

The next moment, the Void Force suitable for a peak Dao Lord converged and intensified, manipulated by a domain at the Immortal Venerable Level.

In the split second as this Void Force amassed crazily, the rationally-minded Void Dao Lord who also practiced Soul Dao Techniques sensed something, "This gathering of Void Force... a top Dao Lord!? No! An invincible Dao Lord wielding an Immortal Artifact!"

His Divine Sense exploded, frantically warning the other twelve Dao Lords, especially the one who wanted to link everyone's perception, "Xuan Mang! Be careful! Preserve your life!"

But almost at the same time as his Divine Sense reached out, the Void Force that Alkaid had gathered formed completely.

An Annihilation of the Void that was even more comprehensive and perfect than the Great Annihilation Technique erupted from the center where "Xuan Mang" Dao Lord stood.

"Immortal Technique—Great Void Technique!"
