Chapter 638: Chapter 594: No Way Out, Immortal Alliance Conference (Combined Chapter)

The hall was resplendent with gold and jade, white jade for the steps, gold for the platform, and fist-sized glowing spiritual pearls as lamps. The surrounding beams were made of the celestial purple sandalwood, and lifelike star maps hung on all four walls, with stars seemingly revolving within, leaving one dazzled…

In the center of the palace, a white pillar of light, too massive for several people to embrace, shot straight into the sky.

Occasionally, ancient golden characters floated within, spreading to the top of the palace and reaching the sky, with an aura of breaking through this world.

Surrounding the white pillar of light, the nearest circle featured seven lotus platforms, each lotus petal lifelike and glowing, clearly not of this world.

A bit farther, twenty-four exquisitely crafted white jade meditation cushions were closely arranged.

In an even farther area, dozens of slightly crude stone seats were scattered about.

On the stone seats and meditation cushions, more than half of the people sat cross-legged, their bodies suspended three feet above, floating effortlessly in the air.

Each one exuded an aura no less than Hua Baiyu, the top Golden Core of the Taiyi Sect who once roamed the Northern Domain unchecked.

Among the seven lotus platforms, only four were occupied by illusory figures, seemingly merging with the surrounding space, giving an impression of being unfathomable, invincible, with immense power.

The top Golden Cores on the surrounding stone seats and cushions, when looking at them, all showed undisguised awe.

At this moment, a clear voice came from one of the black illusory figures on the lotus platform: “This Celestial Alliance meeting will mainly discuss four matters, and I will preside.”

“First is the proposal of the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain to jointly explore the Forbidden Ruins. What do you all think?”

“The Ten Thousand Demon Mountain is full of tricks. Their proposal should not be trusted easily!”

“Not so, there are many fragments of the Law in the Forbidden Ruins. If we do not go, and they are all taken by the Demon Clan, their power will expand further.”

“One must not only see the benefits, the Forbidden Ruins are fraught with dangers. Even you and I might perish if we are not careful…”

Once the black illusory figure on the lotus platform raised this topic, those around began to discuss frantically, each with different opinions.

After a moment of waiting, the black illusory figure spoke again, and the discussions around abruptly halted.

“The four of us shall vote first.”

“Good.”

“Agree.”

“Worth a try.”

Finally, the four different illusory figures seated on the lotus platforms reached a unanimous vote for approval.

Seeing this result, the others around, whether previously agreeing or opposing, showed a general agreement in subsequent votes.

Then, the black illusory figure began discussing the remaining issues.

“The old dragon of the Longjiang River will awaken from slumber soon. Who among you is willing to go and talk with him…”

“The demonic activities on the third layer of Tianyuan have been too frequent, as if searching for something…”

The subsequent matters followed the same process as before.

The illusory figures on the four lotus platforms would vote first.

The others on the meditation cushions and stone seats would follow, almost all complying with the decisions of the illusory figures, with no objections raised.

After all discussions were complete, the black illusory figure said, “Do any of you have other matters to address? If not, this alliance meeting will be adjourned.”

Upon hearing this, another grey illusory figure seated on a nearby lotus platform spoke up: “I have something to say.”

“Consider our Celestial Dao Alliance, established eighteen thousand years ago. Every sect joining must swear: to defend against demons and evil from the outside, uphold righteousness within, not to oppress the weak with strength, not to use power for personal gain…”

“However, I have heard of a sect within our alliance that has been causing trouble in the Northern Domain of Central Continent recently, exploiting and extorting a small sect, severely damaging the reputation of our Celestial Dao Alliance.”

“Oh, if this is indeed the case, it must be strictly punished without leniency,” the black illusory figure said calmly.

Hearing this, the others who had been drowsy before sat up excitedly, eyes glinting with anticipation, knowing the real show was about to begin.
