Chapter 1500: Chapter 1448 – Chapter 1449 Alliance Situation, Instant Agreement Chapter 1500: Chapter 1448 – Chapter 1449 Alliance Situation, Instant Agreement When Zi Tianxiong proposed the plan, the entire hall fell into silence. The Supreme Strong ones present changed their expressions slightly but remained silent.
The reason for their subtle change of expression was simple; indeed, the addition of three True Immortals would multiply their power, but at the same time, the arrival of these formidable beings would invisibly intensify their competition.
It is known that after ten thousand years of development, the Heterodox Alliance was no longer in its original state. Among the Supreme Strong there were over a hundred, and at least near ten of those qualified to seek the Righteous Path and become Tao-Certifying True Immortals.
However, despite so many Supreme Strong and even Supreme Overlords reaching their limits, none had certified the Tao and could only seek longevity through the Divine Positions of the Heavenly Court and other methods.
Although this meant longevity, in terms of both the essence of life and combat power, they could not compare to True Immortals. Even if their power was sufficient, the potential alone was incomparable.
For true powerhouses, the opportunity to become a True Immortal was absolutely not to be missed. However, limited by resources, many powerful beings could go no further.
Originally, one of the most important purposes of the Heterodox Alliance's expansion was to obtain resources and give these Supreme Strong the opportunity to seek Tao certification. However, to whom this opportunity would be given was not determined, or rather, it wouldn't be directly decided–they would compete based on their abilities.
If the Heterodox Alliance were to bring these three factions under its control, there is no doubt that the power of the Heterodox Alliance would greatly enhance.
Yet, another issue arises from the cultivators of the Heterodox Alliance facing more intense competition, and the Supreme Strong facing even more evident competition.
Nonetheless, despite recognizing this point, no strong being spoke openly because they had anticipated it as an inevitable phase in the rise of the Heterodox Alliance.
Even in their view, striving for the position of Tao-Certifying True Immortal inherently involves competition–competing against others, oneself, and the world. The pursuit of Tao-Certifying True Immortal is a race. If one does not even have the courage to compete, why seek to certify the Tao? Such beings are unqualified and unworthy of certification.
Thus, when Zi Tianxiong spoke these words, although the room fell silent, no further words were spoken.
Moreover, they were all very clear about one thing–if someone raised doubts, it essentially meant being filtered out, deemed by the True Immortals as lacking the competitive mindset and unable to bear great responsibilities.
For these individuals seeking the Tao, besides striving on their own, they also needed the support of True Immortals. Once they lost this support, there would be no possibility of certifying the Tao.
Ultimately, only the True Immortals have real authority in the Heterodox Alliance; the others have the right to advise, but not to decide.
Therefore, even facing the upcoming fierce competition, the Supreme Strong harbored no dissatisfaction or fear, only a heightened motivation to excel.
Zhao Baiyang looked around and exchanged glances with the other few True Immortals–Tie Qianshan, Vajra Sect Leader, and Xue Wuheng. Just through the meeting of eyes, their thoughts aligned, all exhibiting an approving attitude.
Zhao Baiyang also nodded, indicating their final stance in approval, saying, “In that case, why not have you take charge of this matter?”
As the saying goes, two heads are unnecessary for a single endeavor since Zi Tianxiong brought it up, they might as well leave it to him.
The Heterodox Alliance, being an alliance, inherently differed in structure from other powers. It's a consortium, a coalition of various forces.
In comparison, it's similar to the Heavenly Court–a union of everyone to mitigate risks. Their willingness to unite was purely because at the beginning, the Divine Land World had too many powerful entities, and they had to huddle together for warmth.
It must be understood that whether it's Tie Qianshan, Zi Tianxiong, or Xue Wuheng who joined later, each brought their own established retinue. Even the Vajra Sect Leader, who nominally submitted first, had his own strong core of followers.
Aside from assimilating the forces from the Yin Department due to the lack of a martial supreme being like the Fengdu Emperor to protect them, he allowed the rest to retain their independence.
At first, Zhao Baiyang intended to use his methods to divide and garner support from these people thoroughly into the Heterodox Alliance, or more precisely under his Mire Sect.
But later circumstances gave him no opportunity to do so. The Heterodox Alliance was established to counter risks and to maintain relative self-protection.
As strong beings from the Sky Wasteland kept returning, with Heaven and Earth Ascension and relentless events unfolding, this tumultuous Great World was fraught with dangers but also filled with inconceivable opportunities, impossible to miss. To strive for these required them to exert every effort and compete for every slight chance.
In such a situation, Zhao Baiyang had no time for internal strife or to dissolve other internal factions; he couldn't even allow it, as the situation demanded nothing less than their earnest cooperation to succeed. Any choice for internal conflict would lead to their demise, preventing any possible development today.
