Cultivation: I Have Studied Abroad in the Modern World

Whether it was Old Monk Zhixu or Luo Shangxian of Haori Mountain nearby, at this moment their eyes, how should I say it—didn't understand, but were greatly shocked.

Sect Leader Yan of the Tianhe Sect didn't look well at this moment; his face was somewhat confused and a bit twisted.

But no matter what, the serious injuries on his body were real.

Even the source of these injuries was easy to guess; there was probably something hidden in the Array Plate from Sect Leader Yan, discovered by Zheng Fa, who used it to counterattack.

What they didn't understand was:

The power of Zheng Fa's counterattack was so astonishing!

Upon hearing Zheng Fa mention the matter of the sea territory, Old Monk Zhixu wanted to object in his heart but had to speak softly.

With Sect Leader Yan joining the list of victims after the Great Freedom Demon Emperor, there was a fact Old Monk Zhixu could not deny:

Zheng Fa's hidden strength far exceeded his expectations!

Wuzhi stood behind Old Monk Zhixu, watching Zheng Fa and Ancestor Master Zhixu staring at each other.

Clearly, one was a Golden Core and the other an Independent Immortal.

But in his eyes, Zheng Fa, the Golden Core, was smiling, while there was fear in Ancestor Master Zhixu's words, and his heart suddenly felt somewhat depressed and anxious.

Not to mention someone like him who didn't get along with Zheng Fa.

Among the Five Sects disciples present, each and every one of them felt complicated emotions; who among them didn't have the mindset that under the Five Sects, everyone else was an ant? Now seeing an Independent Immortal of the Five Sects being subdued by the previously unknown Zheng Fa, shoulder to shoulder with him...

This scene indeed challenged their perceptions.

No one spoke in the hall, and everyone's eyes, with a hint of complexity, fell on Zheng Fa.

Seeing that Old Monk Zhixu had already yielded, Zheng Fa immediately cupped his hands and said, "Master Zhixu was just considering the Xuanwei Realm, acting out of compassion, it was I who offended you."

No one probably believed the compassion in these words, but everyone understood Zheng Fa's "compassion" as giving them a way out.

The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became much more relaxed, and Baihua Fairy smiled, saying:

"Daoist friend Zhixu, your heart is concerned with all living beings of Xuanwei."

"Daoist friend Zheng Fa, too, acts with rightful honor."

"You both impress me."

Zheng Fa was somewhat convinced upon hearing this, even though the Turquoise Pool seemed like it followed the Supreme Dao, Baihua Fairy was frighteningly adept at being diplomatic!

With Baihua Fairy's words, regardless of what everyone thought in their hearts, the atmosphere in the hall became much more harmonious.

With the sea territory assigned to the Hundred Immortals Alliance, the most important part of this alliance meeting—territory division—was over.

The follow-ups were small matters—though among them, there were significant ones. The biggest was the signing of the alliance agreement.

Zheng Fa sat by the table, on which lay a scroll.

The scroll was made of iridescent brocade, written in golden Spirit Ink filled with Spiritual Energy, detailing the results of this alliance meeting.

This was written by a female disciple from the Turquoise Pool, who completed it in one go with flowing strokes.

The agreement was long and had a lot of redundant points. Zheng Fa sincerely suspected—that female disciple was a writer raised by the Turquoise Pool.

But in summary, there were four main points:

First, the current main task of the alliance was to guard against the resurrection of Ancient Immortals and Gods, clear various depraved worships, and restrain sects on their territories.

After Baihua Fairy and the others explained, Zheng Fa understood that because Dao Fruits are immortal, many Ancient Immortals and Gods occasionally left some legacy.

Some people naturally began cultivating their spells, worshipping some unknown deities.

This in the Xuanwei Realm was often considered an adventure.

Now as a calamity approaches, with chaos in Xuanwei and common folk unable to fend for themselves, they are more willing to worship some Wild Gods.

The second point targeted at various Demon Ancestors, the agreement emphasized that when dealing with Demon Ancestors, the Six Sects should support each other and not hinder one another.

This point was highly targeted, and everyone in the hall looked towards Zhixu and others.

The third point was relatively simple, stating that the Dao Fruit cultivators of the Six Sects should not attack each other, to avoid depleting their strength.

This point had a time limit, depending on the Xuanwei Realm's situation until the next meeting of the Six Sects.

The last point was quite harsh—

If there is a breach, one individual's violation would prompt the world to attack them.

If one sect breaches, the other five will attack them together.

Zheng Fa couldn't help but glance at Wuzhi, thinking this point probably also stemmed from the initial distrust caused by Wuzhi's betrayal.

He even felt that this alliance agreement was a bit crude, and the so-called time limit for Dao Fruit cultivators not to act was too flexible...

But on second thought, the alliance of the Six Sects was born of necessity, and the contradictions between the Five Sects were probably quite deep.

If it weren't for threats from Ancient Immortals and each Demon Ancestor, this alliance meeting couldn't have even been convened.

This crude alliance agreement actually was a reflection of these sects' mutual distrust, ready to turn against each other at any time.

As the saying goes—

This alliance meeting, rather than a grand ceremony of shared struggle, was more of a feast of dividing the world.

And Zheng Fa, with the Hundred Immortals Alliance, cut a big piece of cake from this feast—

Really big, the sea territory of the Xuanwei Realm was extremely vast, and Zheng Fa hadn't even figured out its size.

Now the map on the floor of the hall was divided into six colors.

The white representing the Hundred Immortals Alliance, just judging by the size, even exceeded Haori Mountain and the Turquoise Pool, ranking somewhere in the middle to lower classes among the Six Sects.

Although knowing the land area was small and the population sparse, seeing such a large piece of white... Zheng Fa still felt a sensation of expanding territories on the map.

With the agreement completed, Daoist Li of the Supreme Dao was the first to leave, as if he didn't want to waste time here.

Seeing this, Old Monk Zhixu and Luo Sanxian from Haori Mountain also took their leave one after another.

The Tianhe Sect left a bit slower, as Sect Leader Yan's injuries had not yet fully healed.
