Chapter 771. 3 Veins Ancient Domain Xianmeng(Organization)

Since the Immortal Alliance was to be established, it naturally required cultivators of sufficient prestige to bolster its strength.

The entire 3 Veins Ancient Domain Immortal Alliance, after consolidating the power of a 100 provinces, boasted a full 8 100 True Monarchs, encompassing the strength of nearly 3 100 Nascent Soul immortal clans and sects.

According to the group's prior estimations, a Nascent Soul True Monarch would qualify to become an honorary elder registered with the Immortal Alliance, while those at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) would be conferred the official title of Elder.

In the 3 Meridians Ancient Domain, there were merely a few dozen cultivators at the late Nascent Soul stage, each honored with the revered titles of Grand Elder or Sword-Holding Elder.

The Grand Elder of the Immortal Alliance and the Sword-bearing Elder were both late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses, yet the distinction between them was vast.

The former was merely a nominal title with virtually no authority within the Immortal Alliance. However, the Swordbearer Elder was the Alliance's elected guardian of human territories—a Swordbearer who could mobilize all major immortal clans under the Alliance's banner when necessary.

It was precisely for this reason that the selection of the Eldrin required careful deliberation. After potential candidates were proposed by the assembly, the final decision would be personally confirmed by the 3 of them.

At this moment, the 3 of them examined the list in their hands and began their discussion.

The position of Sword Custodian Elder would naturally be prioritized for 1 of their own—this went without saying.

Eldrin directly secured a spot for Kael, while Maris the Sea Steader finalized a position for his close friend. The master of the Featherflight Pavilion arranged for 2 Great Elders at the late Nascent Soul stage from their sect.

Only 4 slots remained here.

Eldrin gazed at the name on the list, pondering for a moment before remarking, "This 9 River Daoist is a Great Perfection Nascent Soul realm powerhouse. His appointment as the Sword-holding Elder is truly well-deserved."

As he spoke thus, he crossed out the name of the 9 Rivers Elder.

Seeing this, the 2 of them smiled faintly. Riverine Daoist had repeatedly distinguished himself in major battles, his strength and renown more than sufficient to qualify him for this position.

Only 4 slots remained. After further discussion, the group jointly nominated 3 more candidates.

They were the Mistress of Qingyao Palace, the Sect Master of Tianhuang, and a Nascent Soul Great Master named Xuan Yan (Person Name).

Among the 3, Palace Master Qingyao and the Sect Master of Tianhuang were both renowned for many years, their cultivation having long reached the peak of the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

Although Mystic Flame Fairy’s cultivation was only at the 8th layer of the Nascent Soul Stage, she was the dao companion of Purple Flame True Lord. Choosing her was also a gesture of respect toward Purple Flame True Lord.

Venerable figures such as the Purple Flame True Monarch and Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name), who have reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm), would dedicate all their efforts to breaking through to the Primordial Spirit Realm. They would never deign to assume the role of a Sword-Wielding Elder.

With only 1 spot remaining, the 3 of them found themselves in a dilemma.

There were few True Monarchs at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage within the 3 Veins Ancient Domain, and many late-stage Nascent Soul cultivators had fallen during the previous cataclysm at the Demonic Abyss.

Moreover, the Fang Clan's wanton campaigns along the way had left their numbers of Great Perfection Elders somewhat insufficient.

Among the current candidates, all possess cultivation bases of only the seventh or eighth layer of the Nascent Soul stage. Judging by strength alone, it is unlikely that any among them could command universal respect.

Seeing the 2 hesitate slightly, Eldrin pondered briefly before saying, "Their cultivation levels are quite comparable. Let us choose Ji Xuan Yin."

Although his cultivation was merely at the Nascent Soul, 7th Tier (Cultivation Realm), he not only possessed a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul but had also mastered the Great 5 Elements Yin-Yang Primordial Magnetic Cosmic Starlight Annihilation Divine Saber (Supreme Mystic Art). His offensive prowess already rivaled that of a Great Perfection Nascent Soul cultivator.

"Very well." Maris the Sea Steader also nodded with a smile. "I recall during the great Demonic Abyss Calamity, this individual performed remarkable feats by using this divine ability to breach the physical form of a Half-Step Primordial Spirit demonic cultivator."

Ji Xuan Yin was merely a little over 2 1000 years old, yet he had already reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Naturally, the others were more than willing to grant him this favor.

Thus, the 9 Sword-bearing Elders were selected.

With this matter settled, the master of Flying Feather Pavilion pondered briefly before turning to Eldrin. "Let us further deliberate on the candidate for the alliance leader," he said.

"Good."

Eldrin nodded, his expression growing solemn once more. The position of Alliance Leader was no trivial matter—it was not a seat just anyone could hold steady.

If only 1 faction were involved, the highest-ranking Eldrin Daoist from the Dao Lord Sanctuary would naturally become the alliance leader.

However, the Pavilion Master of Feathered Wings was different from Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name). Between the 2, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) possessed boundless prospects, and his path of cultivation was destined to shine brilliantly in the days to come.

The master of the Featherflight Pavilion was merely a pseudo-Dao Lord. Though he had forged a Dharmic Soul Body over these years, there remained no hope for further advancement.

In principle, Eldrin Dao Lord would be the ideal candidate for this alliance leader position. However, Eldrin Dao Lord remains an unaffiliated cultivator. While holding an honorary title would be acceptable, serving as alliance leader without trusted followers to command would prove impractical.

The master of the Featherflight Pavilion presided over the sect, which boasted over 30 True Monarchs and countless cultivators below the Golden Core realm, making it all the more suitable to lead the Immortal Alliance.

Yet to have him serve as alliance leader, placing him above Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name), was utterly inappropriate.

As Eldrin was lost in thought, the master of the Featherflight Pavilion smiled and said, "I wish to invite you to assume the role of Alliance Leader for the Immortal Alliance, with Brother Dinghai and myself serving as the Grand Elders. What do you think?"

"This..."

Eldrin (Person Name) froze for a fleeting moment, then swiftly shook his head. "Both of you are Dao Monarchs—by all rights, the alliance leader should be 1 of you. How could I, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, presume to bear such a heavy responsibility?"

"Brother, there's no need to decline." Maris the Sea Steader smiled faintly and spoke directly, "To be perfectly honest, I had already reached an agreement with Brother Feiyu beforehand."

"Although we 2 have temporarily attained the Dao ahead of you, our future prospects are likely far less bright than yours. Moreover, since this Immortal Alliance was your initiative, it naturally falls to you to lead it."

As he spoke, Eldrin likely grasped the intentions of the 2.

Among the 3, Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) and the master of the Feiyu Pavilion were merely ordinary friends, whereas both of them shared a profound bond of enlightenment grace with him, making their relationship far closer.

If any 1 of them were to assume the position of alliance leader, the slightest disagreement could lead to a situation where none would yield to another.

And I am the bond between the 3 of us, which is enough to make both of them willing to trust.

After much deliberation, Eldrin decided to shoulder this responsibility. He gave a firm nod and declared, "Since both elder brothers are willing to support me, I shall certainly live up to your expectations."

"In that case, I can rest assured."

Maris the Sea Steader (Person Name) smiled faintly before speaking. "By my reckoning, the Immortal Alliance Conference is about to commence. It's time for us to make our departure."

The 3 of them spoke as they stepped out of the grand hall.

At this moment, the area outside the grand hall was already a sea of people. In addition to over 800 True Monarchs, countless Golden Core cultivators from the Purple Manor realm had also gathered for this grand occasion, all eager to witness the birth of the 3 Veins Immortal Alliance with their own eyes.

The 3 of them stepped forth together, sitting cross-legged in the void as they gazed down with faint smiles at the crowd gathered in the dao arena.

Eldrin (Person Name) gazed serenely at the assembly before speaking plainly, "On this grand occasion marking the establishment of the 3 Veins Immortal Alliance, this humble 1 finds profound solace in your esteemed presence, fellow cultivators."

"This Sovereign need not elaborate further. Peruse this covenant for yourselves."
