Chapter 711 392: The Secret of the Thirteenth Stage

When Cultivator Shen Yu sent this message back to the Association, the Association was pleasantly surprised by this news.

The fact that these five powers still exist is undoubtedly good news.

Just as Cultivator Shen Yu had considered, these five powers can be considered allies for the Association.

There is a very good cooperative relationship between the two parties.

"In principle, we agree to the alliance." Shen Yu, as a representative, communicated to Cultivator Shen Yu, "However, we first need to grasp some basic intelligence, such as whether the five forces truly exist, what the current situation is, and what they lack most. This intelligence can be instrumental during negotiations."

"Understood." Cultivator Shen Yu quickly nodded and then proceeded with new actions.

Actually, the connection between these five powers was even closer than Cultivator Shen Yu initially anticipated.

On the basis of finding one, locating the other four became very simple.

Moreover, there was an even bigger surprise.

In the current area, there are not just five allied powers!

There are eight!

Clearly, the remaining three must have originally been in this area.

Faced with an enemy like the "Source", it's no exaggeration to say that all extraordinary influences are natural allies.

Even if initially unwilling to ally, facing the pressure from "Source", they would still walk down the alliance path.

The three forces that can stand with the five primary forces clearly also possess Thirteenth Tier power.

However, the situation of the alliance between these eight powers is still not very favorable.

This war has already lasted millions of years.

Though such time for this level of influence is not incredibly long,

prolonged depletion has led to all forces experiencing a decline in power and a sparsity in population.

Conversely, "Source", despite such prolonged warfare, continuously has reinforcements.

To some extent, military force itself is an advantage of the technological civilization against the extraordinary civilization.

After all, biochemical people are unbelievably cheap, no matter how powerful those equipments may seem, they are mass-produced, and the cost and time are definitely lower than cultivating a Saint.

Not to mention, the Source also cultivated a group of purely technological civilizations, under Source's support, these technological civilizations can gain quite formidable combat strength in a very short time, and continuously, at incredibly low cost.

"Such an enemy, in this long-drawn attritional battle, is indeed overwhelmingly powerful to an astonishing degree." Cultivator Shen Yu pondered, already making a decision.

They certainly couldn't continue watching like this; on the contrary, they needed more rapid, more active, more proactive participation.

And through this, gain the secret to stepping into the Thirteenth Tier.

Cultivator Shen Yu quickly wrote a report and submitted it back to the Association.

After the Association held a meeting and discussed, they formally agreed to Cultivator Shen Yu's report application, and authorized Cultivator Shen Yu to represent the Association in formal diplomatic communication with these forces.

The subsequent matters became straightforward.

Cultivator Shen Yu still chose the Haotian Divine Court.

This force being an Oriental-styled influence, and judging by performance, the entire civilization possesses a good culture of balancing interests.

They wouldn't abandon, or even oppose, beneficial cooperation due to some inexplicable reasons.

When Cultivator Shen Yu infiltrated the high ranks of the opposition and then revealed himself, declaring his identity and origin, he quickly and naturally encountered the Divine Emperor Venerable within the Haotian Divine Court.

This was Cultivator Shen Yu's first encounter with a Thirteenth Stage powerhouse.

Just one glance made him clearly feel certain differences.

Because, on his body, he did not sense any extraordinary power!

Indeed, although among lower-level cultivators, there are sayings of "returning to the original simplicity", such sayings are exceedingly laughable in the eyes of high-level powerhouses.

The root of an extraordinary's power comes from the extraordinary rules.

What are extraordinary rules?

They are the operating rules of extraordinary power in the world, in the universe.

That is to say, any extraordinary's power is inevitably related to the world, to the external environment.

Even if an extraordinary reaches a Magicless World, in the process of exerting extraordinary power, they will continuously spread their extraordinary rules outward, changing reality.

As for not exerting power?

At this level, a powerhouse's mere existence is already a manifestation of the extraordinary rules.

But, the fact is laid bare.

The Thirteenth Stage powerhouse truly showed no signs of extraordinary rules!

"You are surprised."

Looking at Cultivator Shen Yu, the Divine Emperor Venerable, despite Cultivator Shen Yu's ability at this level to perfectly control his emotions, not to mention his expressions, still easily discerned the emotions Cultivator Shen Yu tried to hide.

Cultivator Shen Yu wasn't surprised by this.

At the extraordinary level, each tier is a different realm.

Especially beyond the higher levels.

Essentially heading towards the unity of all methods, all cultivators, all directions, arrive on the same path.
