Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 535 - 522: Selling

"Synthesis successful!"

Alkaid sensed the changes in the Human Emperor Tower of the Heavenly Abyss of Shattered Destruction and breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Time Orb has also been integrated."

As he spoke, he sensed the subtleties of this Supreme Holy Artifact…

In fact, its power hadn't necessarily increased by much.

Since he hadn't mastered the Composite Immortal Technique, it was merely equivalent to mastering the powers of the Void, Time, Soul, Destruction, and Origin Dao simultaneously.

It was like a Martial Path master practicing five types of martial arts. Although this allowed for more variations and choices during combat against others, when facing top-tier experts, it would undoubtedly be considered flashy but not substantive.

"Having mastered many types of Dao Techniques only gives me a dominant advantage when sparring with peers, but the idea of fighting across higher realms is clearly insufficient. The opponent with the power to break all laws with a single force can easily suppress me. Fortunately, the true purpose of refining this Supreme Holy Artifact was never to significantly enhance my strength but to use it as a reservoir."

Alkaid sensed this Holy Artifact.

This reservoir could accumulate not only the share of the Great Void Path but also other types of Great Dao.

However, its limit could not exceed that of the Time and Void Paths.

"I can convert the Shares between Dao paths. If I kill a cultivator of the Destruction Dao, his share can also be stored in the Supreme Holy Artifact. Nevertheless, only the Supreme Dao can contain other Dao powers. That is to say, I could hold up to 9.9 shares of the Power of Destruction… no, since I also practice the Time Dao, I can hold up to 19.8 shares of Destruction Power, as long as I can convert the shares of the Void and Time Daos into Origin and Soul Daos."

Alkaid looked at the Supreme Holy Artifact in his hand.

The immense power of such a Holy Artifact began to reveal just the tip of its iceberg.

He broke down the barriers between Dao paths, turning the power of each independent Dao into a compatible, integrated whole.

"A lone Void Dao Immortal King theoretically equals a thousand Dao Lords of varying paths. If this Immortal King reaches the Middle Stage, with three thousand shares, he can convert those into three thousand Great Daos..."

All three thousand Great Daos would be his own.

Although they were just a share's strength, Alkaid could hardly imagine what divine skills such an Immortal King would demonstrate.

Genesis!?

Creatiing all things!?

Spawning Chaos!?

"Pity... many Great Daos already have their Daoist Ancestors, so this scene is probably never to be seen,"

Alkaid sighed inwardly.

He turned his gaze back to the Supreme Holy Artifact.

Having integrated a Time Immortal Artifact, its name had become longer.

Alkaid decided to simplify it.

"From now on, this Supreme Holy Artifact will definitely become a hodgepodge. It's not about being compatible with three thousand Great Daos, but accommodating a thousand types is still very hopeful. Since it's specially designed for compatibility with various shares of Great Dao as a reservoir, let's name it the Great Dao Tower."

A simple and clear name.

Although synthesis failures wouldn't result in a Dao Artifact's destruction like 'Entering the Way', the effects of each synthesis weren't necessarily all positive, so Alkaid was always very cautious every time, fearing that he might spoil this Supreme Holy Artifact, which had been progressing well so far.

Luckily, as of now, the effects were good.

The effects brought by the five Great Daos of Void, Time, Destruction, Origin, and Soul were all positive.

All five Great Daos unleashed together, each bearing significant effect, delivered a bombardment of power no less impressive than Immortal Techniques.

Unlike the enormous expenditure of using the Great Void Technique, deploying the Holy Artifact imposed much less burden on the cultivator.

Having refined the Great Dao Tower to this level, he finally had the capability to contend with a Dao Venerable.

Even if he couldn't surpass the Dao Venerable, at least he could force that Venerable to expend all his energy, ultimately unable to resist the pull of the Immortal Realm and ascend there.

"My strength has been steadily increasing, but..."

Alkaid glanced at the Artifact Refining branch progress, which had reached 86%.

It was fast.

At this moment, he seemed to sense something and got stirred.

Immediately after, within a blink of the Void, he had already arrived outside the Sun and Star Sect.

Alkaid adjusted his state. After five or six years of integrating the Immortal Artifact and digesting the information from Artifact Refining, most people from the Sun and Star Sect had already fled.

Those remaining were mainly cultivators below the Hollow Void Stage, without the means to leave, living tremulously on this planet.

However, Alkaid had not exterminated these people completely. After living in fear for five or six years, they had finally settled down slightly.

Of course, with the departure of high-level cultivators, the current Sun and Star Sect was nowhere close to its former prosperity. The once incessantly incoming and outgoing stream of warships and flying boats had also vanished.

But now...

There was a warship of Superior Dao Artifact level stationed outside the headquarters of the Sun and Star Sect, patiently waiting for something.

When Alkaid appeared, a Dao Lord stepped forward from the warship, respectfully greeting and saluting, "Greetings to the great Dao Venerable Alkaid."

Alkaid's gaze lingered on this Dao Lord for a moment before he thought of something, "Sect Bloodline Dao Lord?"

This Dao Lord was also highly renowned in this star domain.

It was rumored that he possessed combat power not inferior to top-tier Dao Lords.

However, since he had never killed any Dao Lord, this claim remained unverified.

But due to his benevolent nature, he had built a respectable reputation over tens of thousands of years in this star domain.Many people wanted to transact but lacked trust, so they often asked him to preside over the transactions fairly, and he was usually able to satisfy everyone.

It was said that soon after the Slaughter Star Alliance was established, the Nine Palaces Dao Lord even personally visited this Sect Dao Lord, hoping to have him serve as the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Slaughter Star Alliance, but he declined.

In this starry sky, if there was anyone currently held in higher regard, it was this Sect Dao Lord.

"Is there something?"

Alkaid asked, knowing full well the answer.

"Our purpose here is to humbly ask Alkaid Dao Venerable to show your benevolence given the dire straits the surrounding Dao Lords face in seeking an opportunity to ascend, hoping that we too may receive a chance to enter the Gate of the Immortal Realm,"

the Sect Dao Lord said.

Upon hearing this, Alkaid couldn't help but laugh. "You think I am benevolent?"

"Dao Venerable took over the Sun and Star Sect without annihilating all its cultivators, which shows your magnanimity and broad-mindedness. You are different from King Goldlight and the Nine Palaces,"

the Sect Dao Lord bowed deeply as he spoke.

"Different?"

Alkaid shook his head.

Perhaps he had indeed thought that way before, considering himself a person with principles, but now...

"You are mistaken,"

he said bluntly.

After hearing this, the Sect Dao Lord hesitated momentarily before saying, "At least, you presumably do not have the need to monopolize the Gate of the Immortal Realm, thus giving us a chance."

"That is indeed true,"

Alkaid nodded.

He did not wish to become entangled with these Dao Lords emotionally or morally; the only things that could maintain their interaction were interests.

"Indeed, I do not intend to monopolize the Gate of the Immortal Realm, and I'm aware of your need for it, so... "

Alkaid straightforwardly stated his intention, "Based on my observations, the Gate of the Immortal Realm will open in sixty years. Therefore, I will hold an auction fifty years from now. The highest bidder will gain entry into the Gate of the Immortal Realm! Spread this message, and fifty years from now, on the outskirts of the Sun and Star Sect, any Dao Lord may come to bid."

An auction?

The Sect Dao Lord blinked, realizing this outcome was acceptable.

It was a competition of wealth.

In some ways, it was also fair and just.

Though the essence hadn't changed much, the danger was much less than having a group of Dao Lords coming together for a Dao conflict.

"I collect materials for Immortal Artifacts. If certain rare items are proven to be valuable, I will also consider purchasing them. Each quota starts with at least one Immortal Artifact material. If your financial resources are insufficient or you only have some useless Elixirs, then don't bother coming,"

Alkaid advised once more.

Hearing this, the Sect Dao Lord hurriedly clasped his hands and said, "This method is fair and just, and with Alkaid Dao Venerable in charge of the situation, surely no petty individual will dare to break the rules. In this way, the slaughter committed by the Dao Lords in their efforts to secure a spot in the Gate of the Immortal Realm can be minimized, a deed worthy of eternal gratitude. Surely afterwards, everyone will remember Alkaid Dao Venerable's act of benevolence."

"No need for such, go now,"

Alkaid said, waving his hand.

"Sect Dao Lord takes his leave,"

The expression of the Sect Dao Lord showed no displeasure at being "belittled."

In a confrontation with a hundred, Alkaid suppressed both the Sun and Star Sect and the Slaughter Star Alliance, demonstrating crushing strength and establishing dominance over the two strongest forces within this star domain.

If these Dao Lords couldn't grasp the vast difference between them, mistakenly thinking that being a Dao Lord was equal, and how strong could a Dao Venerable really be, they would end just like King Goldlight and the others, dying in vain.

Now, many insightful people were already considering Alkaid as an Immortal.

A True Immortal walking amongst the stars in the Universe.

For Dao Lords to confront a True Immortal was like Shattered Void bowing before a Dao Lord.

How could such respect be wrong?

Soon, the Sect Dao Lord left and began to spread the news.

After the Sect Dao Lord had left, Alkaid returned to the Sun and Star Sect.

He didn't give the matter much thought, instead pondering the Immortal Artifacts he needed to refine and integrate next.

"For my next cultivation, I will focus on strengthening the Supreme Holy Artifacts in my possession. Once the Supreme Holy Artifacts are sufficiently strengthened, I plan to elevate to the 'Immortal Venerable' realm, preferably to the point where I can perform Composite Immortal Techniques,"

Alkaid considered his situation.

His "High-Dimensional Cognition" had provided him with all the Cultivation Techniques and Immortal Techniques that had ever appeared in this universe, including the Immortal Realm.

It was only the "Dao Fruit Divine Skills" that incorporated some of his own understanding.

However, divine powers like those similar to a "Dao Lord" were still traceable within the Immortal Realm.

Thus, if he wanted to continue leveraging the advantage of "High-Dimensional Cognition," he needed to learn the most diverse and widely spread Great Daos.

Such Great Daos often meant that no overly powerful Immortal Kings had yet emerged.

"So, after the five Great Daos I currently master, the Streaming Light Dao could be an option, the Truth Dao... with the Hongmeng Daoist Ancestor around, let's skip that, but both the Chaos Dao and the Five Elements Dao could be considered for my upcoming exploration... "

Alkaid seemed to recall something as he contemplated, and soon, a Great Dao inheritance appeared in his hand.

The Reincarnation Path.
