Chapter 432: Heavenly Court, Flower Sect

Xiao Ming spent two days with Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

On the third day, he left the Small Pill Tower and met with the leaders of the forces who came to discuss an alliance, as well as their Ancestors.

When these forces learned that the Pill Tower proposed Xiao Ming as the Alliance Leader, they were somewhat surprised, but no one came forward to oppose it.

Oppose it? Were you kidding?

Who would dare to oppose Xiao Ming after he had killed a two-star Dou Saint? Before making such a foolish choice, one should be aware of their own capabilities.

The reason they agreed to form an alliance was, in large part, because of Xiao Ming. They saw hope in this young powerhouse to resist the Hall of Souls.

Moreover, they discovered that Xiao Ming's cultivation had reached Dou Saint realm!

Even some old monsters couldn't help but swear when they saw this.

Dou Saint!

This was the pinnacle realm of the Dou Qi Continent. And Xiao Ming had broken through to this realm in just a little over a year without being seen.

The difference between fighting against a Dou Saint with soul strength and fighting against a Dou Saint with Dou Qi was entirely different.

Xiao Ming was now barely over twenty-two years old.

Whenever they thought of this fact, they felt a sense of suffocation.

Hence, it was unnecessary to provoke such a genius; instead, they should strive to be on good terms with him!

Xiao Ming was unaware of their thoughts; if he knew, he would surely chuckle to himself. After all, he had encountered even more monstrous individuals.

Zi Yan, for example, devoured the Dragon Phoenix Origin Fruit and soared from Dou Venerate to two-star Dou Saint in just over five months. That was much more exaggerated than his own progress.

After discussing various matters with those forces, Xiao Ming left the Pill Tower's affairs to the Three Giants and departed from the Pill Realm.

By the way, Xiao Ming chose the name for the alliance, calling it "Heavenly Court."

It was a bit whimsical, but he wasn't afraid that his fellow reincarnator, Xiao Yan, would make any connections to it.

After all, apart from the two words, this Heavenly Court had nothing in common with the Heavenly Court from their previous life.

...

The Flower Sect was a top-tier power in Central Plains with a long-standing reputation. However, in recent years, it had been in turmoil due to the passing of their former Sect Master.

Inside a grand hall permeated with a faint floral fragrance, though spacious, it felt somewhat empty with only a few people seated quietly within.

Among them was the newly appointed Sect Master of the Flower Sect, Hua Yi, but she was not sitting in the main seat. Instead, there were two figures already seated there.

These two figures were dressed in pale yellow robes and appeared relatively youthful, with smooth skin and a special charm despite the shallow crow's feet at the corners of their eyes. Their presence gave off a sense of uniqueness.

Below them were the various elders of the Flower Sect, all showing respectful expressions toward the two figures, who appeared much younger than themselves.

"First Elder, what do you think about the establishment of the Heavenly Court?" After a moment of silence in the hall, the woman in the main seat suddenly raised her eyes and looked at an elderly woman below. There, in front of her, lay a scroll with a special emblem from the Pill Tower.

In response to the woman's question, the First Elder hesitated for a moment and respectfully said, "Reporting to the Grand Elder, the Pill Tower alone is a force beyond our Flower Sect's reach. The establishment of the Heavenly Court has already attracted the alliance of many powerful forces, far beyond what our Flower Sect can match."

"However, even so, there is still a gap between them and the Hall of Souls. If we agree to join the alliance, we will undoubtedly be in direct conflict with the Hall of Souls, which is an extremely risky situation."

Upon hearing this, the woman dressed in yellow robes nodded slightly and said, "Indeed, the strength of the Pill Tower is beyond comparison with ours. Their newly appointed alliance leader, Xiao Ming, in particular, is terrifying. Despite his young age, he was able to kill a two-star Dou Saint, which is truly admirable. As for the Hall of Souls, my sister and I have had some difficult encounters with them in the past..."

"Grand Elder, while the alliance carries risks, it also holds considerable benefits for the Flower Sect. Our sect's development has stagnated for many years, and we've been constantly oppressed by the Profound Sky Sect. If we could truly join the alliance, the reputation of the Flower Sect would undoubtedly reach its peak, and the influence brought by the Profound River Alliance would be minimized..."

Hua Yi, the newly appointed Sect Master of the Flower Sect, spoke softly. Since taking over as the Sect Master, the Profound Sky Sect had caused her no small amount of trouble. If it weren't for the Grand Elders coming out of seclusion in the end, she feared that her position as Sect Master would have been snatched away by Hua Jin with the help of the Profound Sky Sect's power.

"The Profound Sky Sect is indeed a troublesome fly. After forming the Profound River Alliance with the Ice River Valley, they have absorbed many medium and small forces, making them even more difficult to deal with. Old Demon Tian Ming in the Profound River Alliance is a high-level Half Saint. Back then, my sister and I were only intermediate-level Half Saints, and even if we joined forces, we could barely match him. Now that my sister has just reached the high-level Half Saint realm and her cultivation is not yet stable, we can't immediately deal with him either. Moreover, it seems that the Profound River Alliance has made connections with the Hall of Souls," the woman in yellow robes looked quite distressed as she spoke.

"If only Xiao Ming were a member of our Flower Sect, things would be so much better. I'm afraid a single glance from him could resolve the issue with Old Demon Tian Ming, and we wouldn't have so many worries."

"What do you suggest, Grand Elder?" Hua Yi guessed what was being implied and asked carefully.

"Let my sister decide on this matter..." The woman in yellow robes shook her head, not expressing her opinion and instead leaving the decision to the silent woman beside her.

With all eyes now focused on the cold and aloof woman, she raised her eyebrows slightly and spoke in a plain and concise voice, "Join the alliance to deal with the Hall of Souls."

The other elders hesitated for a moment but eventually nodded in agreement. Indeed, forming an alliance seemed to be a good choice.

Suddenly, everyone's expression changed.

"Someone is intruding into the Flower Realm!"

The two Grand Elders, along with the others, left the main hall and flew up into the sky, looking towards the eastern direction.

In that region of space, a large rift slowly tore open, and a tremendous cold aura, like an evil beast, rudely rushed into the area. Sinister laughter filled the space, thundering like lightning.

"Fairy Qing, Fairy Hua, it's been many years. I hope you are both well!"

With the resounding voice, a large group of figures streamed through the rift and transformed into streaks of light, appearing in the skies above the Flower Sect.

As the group entered the Flower Realm, the Flower Sect elders leaped into the air, confronting them with their Dou Qi surging, their eyes filled with vigilance.

The cold woman at the forefront slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the leader of the group.

This person was dressed in dark gray robes and stood aloft in the air. He had long red hair, and his face did not have many wrinkles. If not for the aged aura that filled his glittering red eyes, no one would have regarded him as an old demon who had lived for hundreds of years.

At first glance, this gray-robed person appeared extremely ordinary. Even the aura within his body was like that of an ordinary person. His entire demeanor was unassuming, but everyone understood that a person who could stand there was definitely not a simple character.

"Old Demon Tian Ming... how dare you bring people to trespass upon my Flower Sect! Are you tired of living?!" The cold and aloof woman's voice echoed in the air.
