Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

217. Chapter 217 Competing To Belong!

Liu Zimo stood quietly near the Xian'ao Demon Saint, but he did not hear any thoughts from the Xian'ao Demon Saint.

The old turtle's mind was like a calm lake, without any ripples.

His entire body seemed to merge with the void, naturally embodying the Dao.

Just from his appearance, the Xian'ao Demon Saint, who had already transformed into a human form, looked like an ordinary person without any cultivation aura. No one would associate him with a true saint.

Seeing that the Xian'ao Demon Saint had no intention of personally taking action, but instead looked down on the disciples of Xian'ao Island, who were fighting to the death and causing rivers of blood in front of the major sects' gates.

Whether it was the death of sect disciples or the fall of Xian'ao Island's spirit beasts, there was no trace of emotion on his face.

At this point, Liu Zimo once again confirmed that the Xian'ao Demon Saint was using Xian'ao Island's disciples as cannon fodder.

And its true purpose seemed to be to provoke a conflict, causing the remaining sixty-three ancient sects to shed blood in front of their gates and not live in peace.

[Your spiritual pet, Yang Kaishan, had a series of unfortunate events and was beheaded by a human cultivator, dying on the spot, with his soul returning to the heavens...]

[Your good brother, Tian Shangxiu, had a series of unfortunate events and was struck by a spirit beast's palm, his vitality cut off, dying on the spot, with his soul returning to the heavens!]

['Heaven Thief' innate talent passive triggered...]

[...]

Sounds of notifications kept ringing in Liu Zimo's ears.

In a few minutes, there would be a spirit beast or an ancient cultivator falling.

Various cultivation energies within him continued to soar, and his cultivation strength had greatly increased in a short period of time.

"This is actually quite good!"

Liu Zimo glanced lightly at the battle below and muttered to himself.

As long as the flames of war did not reach the Federation, even if these ancient beings went extinct, he would not feel sorry for them.

After all, they were not good people. Letting them consume each other like this was actually a good thing for the entire human Federation.

"Is Fellow Daoist Liu here?"

"Is Advisor Liu here?"

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I have an urgent matter to ask for your help. Please respond when you see this message!"

"Advisor Liu, it concerns the life and death of the entire Earth Realm. Please show yourself!"

[...]

In the divine sense space, the special "chat group" that Liu Zimo had joined before, people were constantly calling out to him.

Liu Zimo understood their intentions without even thinking.

They wanted him to do something without offering any benefits. Did they think he was stupid?

Even though he had already developed the intention to kill a saint, he would not be led by the nose by these people.

Being able to stay quietly on the side, openly "harvesting" the leeks while continuously enhancing his cultivation strength, wasn't that great?

It would be even safer to wait until his cultivation accumulated to a certain level, strong enough to have absolute confidence in killing the Xian'ao Demon Saint with a single strike, before taking action.

"Fellow Daoist Liu, I, Zuoqiu from Qingyun Palace, am willing to bring the entire Qingyun Palace to permanently reside in the Federation government, only asking Fellow Daoist Liu for assistance!"

Just as Liu Zimo had made up his mind to stand by and watch quietly, Zuoqiu, a Daoist from Qingyun Palace, suddenly made a big move, causing Liu Zimo to be intrigued.

Half a year ago, during the fourth demonic calamity, it was Qingyun Palace that first proposed an alliance with Liu Zimo.

So, Liu Zimo still had a good impression of Qingyun Palace.

Now, seeing Zuoqiu Daochang taking the lead and proposing such an irresistible condition to join the federal government, Liu Zimo couldn't help but look at Zuoqiu Daochang with admiration.

This old Taoist is indeed the most practical among all the ancient sects!

Every time, he hits the spot and touches Liu Zimo's sensitive spot.

Alliance and submission are two completely different concepts.

Liu Zimo didn't expect that these lofty ancient sects would actually take the initiative to propose conditions for submitting to the federal government.

"Zuoqiu old Dao, have you gone mad?"

"Yes, Zuoqiu old friend, by bringing Qingyun Palace to join a mortal country, aren't you afraid that after the return of the Qingyun Saint, he will punish us?"

"This is a great rebellion!"

"Zuoqiu, by doing this, you are simply disgracing our ancient sects!"

"Even in ancient times, no saint sect would voluntarily submit to a mortal country!"

"..."

As Zuoqiu Daochang's voice fell, the heads of the other ancient sects couldn't help but resist and mock.

Qingyun Palace's actions directly trampled their high status as ancient sects, how could they tolerate it when they have always considered themselves extraordinary?

For the vast majority of ancient cultivators, even if they die, they would never endure such humiliation.

It's like throwing someone who has been an emperor for decades into a beggar's den, who can bear it?

Zuoqiu old Dao ignored these critics and continued to call out to Liu Zimo.

A group of dead ducks with loud mouths, they are almost on the verge of extinction, yet they still put on a show here? As long as the lineage and inheritance of the sect are preserved, the disciples are not annihilated, what's wrong with bowing their heads and being flexible?

Times have changed!

In the new era of the human race, a figure like Liu Zimo, who is comparable to a saint, has already emerged. Yet these people still stubbornly think they are the protagonists of this era!

It's ridiculous!

Even the Xian'ao Demon Saint has betrayed, openly declaring to destroy the lineage and inheritance of all sects, yet these people still can't see the reality!

Didn't they hear the Xian'ao Demon Saint's threats before?

Once the lineage is cut off, the inheritance is broken, and there is no longer the guidance of the sect's inherited fortune, the saint ancestors behind them will never be able to return in this lifetime!

"Am I just surviving for myself?"

"No, I am enduring humiliation and carrying the burden for the ancestor of Qingyun Palace!"

"As long as the lineage of Qingyun Palace is not extinguished, the inheritance is not lost, and the fortune continues, the ancestor will return to this world sooner or later!"

Zuoqiu Daochang muttered to himself.

While others mock him, saying that he has no integrity and forgets his ancestors, he still believes that these people are short-sighted and have cut off the opportunity for their ancestors to return!

"Liu Fellow Daoist, I sincerely seek your protection. I am willing to swear with my soul that if Fellow Daoist helps Qingyun Palace through this disaster, I will bring the entire Qingyun Palace to the city of Luozhou and obey Fellow Daoist's orders!"

Seeing that Liu Zimo still hadn't replied, Zuoqiu couldn't help but lower his standards even further, even saying that he would obey orders. It can be said that he is full of sincerity.

"Good!"

Liu Zimo finally stopped hesitating and spoke loudly in the crowd:

"According to Zuoqiu Fellow Daoist's words, I will take on the difficulties of Qingyun Palace on your behalf!"

After finishing speaking, Liu Zimo's mind moved, temporarily giving up on attacking Immortal Ao Old Ancestor, and directly moving to the entrance of Qingyun Palace.

At this moment.

Hearing Liu Zimo's reply in the "chat group," Zuoqiu Daoist was overjoyed and quickly responded.

Just as he was about to ask Liu Zimo how he planned to help them with the Transcending Tribulation in Qingyun Palace, he heard someone behind him speak lightly.

"Zuoqiu Fellow Daoist, long time no see!"

Swish!

Zuoqiu Daoist startled and quickly turned around to look.

When he saw that the person was actually Liu Zimo, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"So it's Fellow Daoist Liu in person, I offer my respects here!"

Zuoqiu bowed and saluted Liu Zimo.

However, he was extremely curious and shocked in his heart, not knowing how Liu Zimo had bypassed their Qingyun Palace's protective array and saint-level barrier to easily enter the gate.

But precisely because Liu Zimo appeared so mysterious and unfathomable, it only strengthened his determination to join Liu Zimo.

Liu Zimo was able to single-handedly annihilate the Fire Cloud, Netherworld, and Tai Chu three major sects, and even prevented them from using the life-saving methods left by the saints.

This showed the cultivation level of this Advisor Liu, who had long been close to the Saint Realm, far surpassing them as top quasi-saints!

So Zuoqiu Daoist firmly believed that if there was anyone in this realm who could help them escape the slaughter of the Immortal Ao Demon Saint, it must be Liu Zimo!

"This is three thousand catties of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring], use it to replenish the array formation consumption of the protective array first!"

Liu Zimo didn't waste any words and waved his hand, sending out three thousand catties of [Earth Vein Spirit Spring].

Then, he glanced at the weapons in the hands of the disciples at the gate of Qingyun Palace, and with a thought, he took out more than a dozen top-grade spiritual treasures confiscated from Qingyun Palace, Netherworld Hall, and Tai Chu Sect.

"These top-grade spiritual treasures, let your disciples use them for now, remember to return them afterwards!"

Zuoqiu Daoist was overjoyed at the sight.

While thanking Liu Zimo repeatedly, he quickly put away the [Earth Vein Spirit Spring] and top-grade spiritual treasures that Liu Zimo had taken out.

With the supply and replenishment of these resources, the combat power of their Qingyun Palace would undoubtedly increase exponentially.

Although they were still no match for the Immortal Ao Demon Saint, dealing with the spiritual beasts that bullied them at the gate would no longer be a problem.

He didn't ask why Liu Zimo didn't take action directly, but quickly distributed the obtained spirit spring and spiritual treasures.

In just an instant, the situation in front of the gate of Qingyun Palace underwent a shocking reversal.

Not only did the power of the array formation increase exponentially again, but all the disciples also changed their top-grade spiritual treasures, and their combat power increased dramatically.

Many disciples responsible for attacking Qingyun Palace from Immortal Ao Island instantly suffered casualties.

Hearing the continuous sound of prompts in his ears, Liu Zimo nodded in satisfaction.

That's right!

Not only did it not attract the attention of the Immortal Ao Demon Saint, but it also saved Qingyun Palace, and at the same time, it could take the opportunity to harvest a wave of spiritual beasts. Why not?

"After this calamity is over, Qingyun Palace can choose a city to station in within the Great Xia Realm!"

Liu Zimo looked at Zuoqiu Daoist and said softly,

"For a hundred years, if Qingyun Palace wants to leave the mundane world and return to seclusion, the federal government will no longer interfere!"

Zuoqiu Daoist's eyes lit up.

Only need to guard the mundane world for a hundred years?

This is even more relaxed than he had expected!

"Thank you, Advisor Liu!" Zuoqiu Daoren quickly bowed and responded, "Rest assured, Advisor Liu, for the next hundred years, Qingyun Palace will be the most solid ally of the federal government!"

Liu Zimo nodded slightly and then said in a calm voice, "For the federal government to develop, relying solely on Qingyun Palace is not enough."

Zuoqiu Daoren immediately understood.

Without much thought, he directly infiltrated the "chat group" with his divine sense and loudly expressed his gratitude to Liu Zimo in front of everyone.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Liu, for your righteous help. Qingyun Palace has been saved from danger!"

"For the next hundred years, Qingyun Palace will abide by the agreement, station in federal cities, and abide by federal laws. We will look up to Fellow Daoist Liu!"

Boom!

As soon as Zuoqiu spoke, it instantly caused a great sensation in the group.

Some continued to be sarcastic and mocking.

Some were amazed at how efficient Liu Zimo's actions were.

There were also those who privately messaged Zuoqiu, inquiring about the specifics of the hundred-year agreement.

In short, no one expected that in just a few seconds, Qingyun Palace would have already escaped from danger!

Moreover, according to Zuoqiu Daoren's words, they only needed to station in the federal government for a hundred years to regain their freedom.

Such a price seemed acceptable!

Even the leaders of ancient sects, whose situations were worse than Qingyun Palace, couldn't help but be tempted.

After all, compared to their own lives and the inheritance of their sects, what did a little dignity and face matter?

Even those who had just vowed in the group to never bow down to mortal nations might be the quickest to seek refuge if they were pushed to a desperate situation!

"Fellow Daoist Liu, our Star Moon Hall is also willing to join the federal government. Please lend a helping hand!"

"Advisor Liu, our Jade Willow Sect is also willing to join..."

"..."

With Qingyun Palace as an example, more and more sect leaders in the "chat group" were eager to surrender and join!

"Fellow Daoists, please think clearly!"

"You should consider that Qingyun Palace only resisted the disciples of Xian'ao Island, but it does not mean that they have truly overcome this disaster of extermination!"

"As long as the Xian'ao Demon Saint is not dead, our ancient sects all have the possibility of being completely destroyed!"

"In the end, we will all die. Why lower your status and abandon your dignity at this time to worship a junior and join a mortal nation?"

"A sage cannot be defeated!"

"Do you still expect Liu Zimo to be able to kill the Xian'ao Demon Saint and save you from this crisis?"

"Don't be naive!"

"Even if I die, I will die standing! I will never let the ancestors' reputation and the sect's name be disgraced!"

Some joined, while others criticized.

Some sects were even prepared for the destruction of their sects, preferring to die standing rather than kneeling, showing their determination.

At the same time, there were also some sects without any bottom line, wanting to directly join Xian'ao Sect, feeling that it would be safer that way.

However, most sects, like Qingyun Palace, chose Liu Zimo.

They had all witnessed Liu Zimo's strength and extraordinary abilities.

As the Son of Destiny in this era, Liu Zimo was undoubtedly the most hopeful person to resist the Xian'ao Demon Saint and help them overcome this calamity! (End of this chapter)
