The Hidden Guard informs Dongfang Kong that the Mixed Element Alliance was founded by the mysterious Talisman Daoist, a powerful cultivator of unknown origin. While the Talisman Daoist has acted benevolently, their ultimate intentions and identity remain unknown, sparking concern for the Great Xuan Dynasty. Meanwhile, Ye Linglong, now a Nascent Soul Perfection cultivator and a Princess, leads the growing Linglong Mansion. Her close associates discuss the Hidden Guard's investigation into their operations, but Ye Linglong remains unconcerned, confident in her status. They also reflect on the Talisman Daoist's success, noting how the Mixed Element Alliance functions as a highly profitable commercial platform, enriching its members, including the burgeoning Linglong Pavilion.
Even with Ye Linglong’s steadfast protection, the Linglong Pavilion’s daily prosperity went unchallenged. No one dared to voice any objections. After all, her master, an Integration Great Power, could effortlessly safeguard a mere chamber of commerce. Such trivial profits were utterly insignificant to cultivators of such high standing. "There's no need for envy," Ye Linglong stated calmly. "This is the unique capability of our Alliance Leader. If the Alliance Leader were to collaborate with the Great Xuan Dynasty, their earnings could be even greater. Yet, he instead chooses to share this platform with us, bestowing benefits upon us. Ultimately, for a figure of his stature, this amount of wealth is negligible." As her own cultivation advanced, Ye Linglong increasingly comprehended the terrifying, unfathomable, and potent might of that enigmatic Talisman Daoist from the past. When she was merely at the Foundation Establishment stage, she acknowledged his power but didn't grasp its true extent. However, upon reaching the Nascent Soul realm, the disparity became starkly clear: he was like the brilliant moon in the heavens, while she was but a fleeting spark, an immeasurable gulf between them. The Talisman Daoist's most renowned accomplishment was the eradication of a demon cave. In her youth, she hadn't fully appreciated the magnitude of this feat. Now, with greater insight, she understood the sheer terror a demon cave represented. A fully established demon cave housed over a hundred million formidable demons. Venturing inside was akin to stepping into a dragon's maw or a tiger's den, fraught with peril. Should the need arise, demons could be teleported from elsewhere instantaneously. To assault one demon cave was, in effect, to challenge countless others. Even with exceptional fortune, reaching the core meant confronting several Integration Realm demons who stood guard. Consequently, the Great Xuan Dynasty had managed to destroy very few demon caves over the years. Each successful destruction came at an exorbitant cost, involving countless casualties and severe injuries. Yet, the Talisman Daoist, acting alone, plunged into the depths of a demon cave, annihilated it, and slew a multitude of demons, including those in the Integration Realm. This singular act served as irrefutable proof of his immense value. It was no wonder the Great Xuan Dynasty reacted with extreme caution upon hearing this news, already classifying the Talisman Daoist as a Great Power. Such an individual, even if not yet a Mahayana Cultivator, was undoubtedly an Integration Perfection Great Power. To have such a monumental figure willingly guide them was an unparalleled fortune. "Indeed," Jiang Mo and the others concurred, nodding in agreement. Without the Mixed Element Alliance, they would not have reaped such substantial benefits or acquired so many cultivation resources. It was truly a mutually advantageous arrangement. "However, our Mixed Element Alliance has experienced remarkable growth," Xiao Duan remarked with profound emotion. "In a mere few decades, our membership has surpassed fifty thousand. Initially, I doubted whether this world could even contain so many Life Chart Cultivators. But I had underestimated the sheer number of geniuses present." He recalled the alliance's humble beginnings with only a few thousand members. Reaching fifty thousand in just a handful of decades signified exceptionally rapid progress. Of course, if there were no strict prerequisites, membership could easily swell to millions, even tens of millions. However, such numbers would hold little true significance, as the Mixed Element Alliance required more than just ordinary cultivators; it needed Life Chart Cultivators. Each Life Chart Cultivator possessed innate talent, their genius far exceeding that of regular cultivators. "The Hidden Guard still looks down upon our Mixed Element Alliance," Su Wangyue declared, clenching her fist, her eyes ablaze with ambition. "Naturally, we are still too weak, with our strongest cultivator only at the Divinity Transformation stage. But given sufficient time, our Mixed Element Alliance will eventually produce Refining Void, Integration, and even Mahayana Cultivators." No longer the timid girl from the orphanage, she was now a Nascent Soul Cultivator. The more she witnessed, the more her aspirations grew, and she possessed both the talent and the potential to achieve them. "Precisely, which is why we must maintain a low profile and develop gradually," Li Shengnan interjected. "Displaying our prowess too early is ill-advised. Even if the Hidden Guard is aware of the Mixed Element Alliance, they only perceive its surface. They will never comprehend its true core." This was not born of arrogance but of undeniable fact. She understood that the Life Chart contained incredible power. Even a Lower Grade Destiny far surpassed the innate talent of ordinary cultivators. By discovering the correct methods to unlock the Life Chart's potential, one's cultivation could ascend dramatically.In the days to come, these fifty thousand members might all ascend to become Refining Void Cultivators, and it's even conceivable that some Integration Great Powers could arise. It's no surprise, then, that the Lord Alliance Leader places such immense value on Life Chart Cultivators. "However, the count of Life Chart Cultivators must surely be greater than this number," he mused. "There are undoubtedly more within the expanse of the Great Xuan Dynasty." "Should we manage to unite them all, the Mixed Element Alliance would then extend its presence throughout the entirety of the Great Xuan Dynasty." "Following that, within the Human Race regions, we shall have individuals obtaining valuable treasures." Ye Linglong offered a subtle smile. To be perfectly honest, these Life Chart Cultivators are dispersed far and wide, and as their cultivation advances, the resources they can obtain increase, facilitating their swift ascent. This is particularly true with the backing of the Ten Thousand Treasures Hall, from which they have received considerable aid.
