After all, any Immortal is an ancient being who has lived for countless ages.

They overlook the changes of eras, hold the authority of the Great Tao, and the karma and burdens they carry are destined to be extremely astonishing.

At that level, often it's not even necessary to commit evil intentionally. A mere thought fluctuation or a manifestation of the Tao could indirectly lead to the collapse of an Immortal Domain.

If they take action personally, even a slight residual force is enough to shatter countless Immortal Domains into dust, obliterating billions of lives in an instant.

It can be said.

The sins borne by each Immortal are absolutely not few, and they have enough karma to inundate the starry seas.

If the Underworld could devour one Immortal, the benefits would naturally be self-evident.

However.

Gu Qingfeng also understands that this idea is merely a thought at the moment.

Wanting to suppress an Immortal and cast them into the Underworld to suffer punishment.

The difficulty of this is imaginable.

The Immortal Heavenly Venerable is an existence integrated with the Dao, and in a certain sense, their life form has already infinitely approached the level of Undying.

Aside from the Immortal Divine Tribulation and the legendary Tribulation of Transcendence, there is very little power in the universe that can threaten the life of an Immortal.

To kill or even capture an Immortal is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Therefore.

Gu Qingfeng chuckled to himself. If ever there comes a day when he qualifies to cast an Immortal into the Underworld.

At that time, his own strength and realm might have already reached the pinnacle, and perhaps he would no longer need to rely heavily on the power of the Underworld.

This is a seemingly contradictory but in reality a realistic cycle.

Quietly observing the Underworld for a long time, feeling its internally ever-perfecting rules and burgeoning vitality, Gu Qingfeng nodded with satisfaction, and then gently withdrew his mind to return to his body.

...

A month later.

Steady footsteps echoed outside the hall of the palace, and Luo Tian strode into the hall, bowing with respect towards Gu Qingfeng, who was sitting at the top, resting with eyes closed.

"Your Majesty, the Taiyi Saint Master requests an audience!"

"The Taiyi Saint Master?"

Gu Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, showing a slight change in expression.

Luo Tian continued to report respectfully: "Reporting to Your Majesty, according to intelligence from various sources, not long ago, the Taiyi Sacred Land, which borders our Immortal Dynasty's territory, unexpectedly launched a military campaign, splitting its forces, to launch a fierce purge against several Evil God forces entrenched at the rear and flanks of our Immortal Dynasty's army.

There's a clear intention of clearing obstacles for the Immortal Dynasty, securing the rear, and offering stout assistance."

He paused slightly: "Now that the Taiyi Saint Master comes in person to pay a visit, does Your Majesty wish to see him?"

Upon hearing this.

A hint of understanding flickered in Gu Qingfeng's eyes, and then he regained his composure, smiling lightly, his tone casual but carrying an undeniable decision.

"Since they have come, they are a guest, so let us meet them!"

"Yes!"

Luo Tian nodded to acknowledge the command, then respectfully withdrew from the hall again.

Not long after.

A figure, led by Luo Tian, entered the main hall of this temporary palace.

Upon entering the hall, the moment he saw Gu Qingfeng seated on the imperial throne, his aura as deep as the sea, the Taiyi Saint Master quickly stepped forward, bowing deeply in respect, with a very humble demeanor.

"Seen Immortal Emperor Gu, congratulations to the Immortal Emperor on recently defeating the Evil Gods, enhancing our Human Clan's prestige!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled slightly, raised his hand in a gesture of polite affirmation, appearing quite amiable, without a domineering attitude.

"Friends do not need such formality, as we both are Human Race Venerables, no need for such great ceremony, please sit."

Only after the Taiyi Saint Master had settled in the lower seat did Gu Qingfeng seem to casually ask without revealing his thoughts.

"I just wonder, why would a fellow friend not remain in the Sacred Land for cultivation, but instead come suddenly to this dangerous frontline?"

Upon hearing this, the Taiyi Saint Master straightened, offered a respectful salute again, and spoke with sincere tones.

"The Taiyi Sacred Land and Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, both being Human Clan forces, should naturally be aligned and support one another.

I heard that to protect the Human Clan, Immortal Emperor Gu did not hesitate to lead the campaign personally, commanding the army deep into the Evil God Territory, engaging in bloody battles.

Moreover, the Seven Sins Divine Country and other Evil God forces, with wolf-like ambitions, dared to unite, attempting to cut off the Immortal Dynasty's rear path, harming the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty."

"For such vile acts, my Taiyi Sacred Land cannot idly stand by!"

"Therefore."

The Taiyi Saint Master said resolutely.

"I personally led thirteen hundred sixty billion cultivators of Taiyi Sacred Land to assist the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty in clearing the obstacles!

This is a small contribution from the Taiyi Sacred Land for the Human Clan, and it is the duty that we should fulfill!"

These words were spoken by the Taiyi Saint Master with righteous manner and impassioned vigor, making it impossible to find fault with them, as if his deployment was entirely for the great cause of the Human Clan and for the sake of alliance, with no selfish motives.

Gu Qingfeng looked deeply at him, his gaze seeming to penetrate all disguises, reaching straight to the core.

The Taiyi Saint Master felt a slight invisible pressure but maintained his honest demeanor.

Moments later, Gu Qingfeng slowly nodded, with a smile returning to his face, his tone also much warmer.

"The sincere heart of friend Taiyi towards the Human Clan and the strong support for my Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty has been deeply acknowledged by me, and I am much gratified."

He paused briefly in thought.

"Someday, should there be a place where the Taiyi Sacred Land needs the assistance of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, just say the word.

As long as it is within my capabilities, I will not refuse!"

"The Immortal Emperor is too courteous; it is the responsibility of Taiyi, how dare we seek repayment!"

The Taiyi Saint Master responded quickly, humbly, though the fleeting gleam of pleasure in the depths of his eyes exposed his true inner sentiment.

Why would he spare no effort, taking the risk to deploy the army?

The purpose was, indeed, for these very words from Gu Qingfeng at this moment.

Although Gu Qingfeng's words of feel free to ask were just courteous.

Yet undeniably, Taiyi Sacred Land's timely assistance indeed pleased the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

Having such a bond and favor, then the future relationship between the Taiyi Sacred Land and the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty, could be closer because of this opportunity, becoming one step more intimate.

And this.

Was precisely the fundamental reason for the Taiyi Saint Master's visit.

He clearly understood.

Relying solely on a single instance of military assistance to make the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty feel immensely grateful towards Taiyi Sacred Land and become entirely subservient was unrealistic and too naive.

For the Taiyi Saint Master, as long as he could bring the relationship closer, that would be sufficient.

Many matters must be pursued gradually; rushing may even prove counterproductive.

Suppressing the excitement in his heart, the Taiyi Saint Master inquired further: "I heard that Immortal Emperor Gu defeated the Taixu Divine Master and subdued the Seven Sins Divine Country, what plans does the Immortal Emperor have next?"

Upon hearing this.

Gu Qingfeng's smile retracted somewhat, his gaze becoming profound.

"The Evil God Clan is deeply entrenched, and the foundational strength is not as simplistic as it appears on the surface.

The Seven Sins Divine Country is merely one of many Evil God Divine Countries, if one truly wants to suppress the Evil God Clan and revive the Human Clan, it is destined not to be an overnight task.

In this recent battle, the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty has already suffered considerable losses.

Therefore, I plan to focus on recuperation for now, and when sufficient strength is amassed, to then launch an offensive against the Evil God Clan!"

Upon hearing this.

The Taiyi Saint Master's expression remained unchanged, solemnly speaking: "When the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty makes another move, please notify the Taiyi Sacred Land at any time, and I shall most certainly offer full support."

"With such words from a friend, that is enough!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled lightly again.

Afterwards.

The two exchanged pleasantries, and then the Taiyi Saint Master took his leave.

As he watched the other's departing back, the smile on Gu Qingfeng's face gradually faded, his expression turning indifferent once more.

The Taiyi Saint Master's purpose was clear to Gu Qingfeng at a glance.

But none of that mattered.

Because their actions precisely demonstrated the strength of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

In other words.

If the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty was not strong, they wouldn't have warranted such actions from the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Therefore.

The action of the Taiyi Sacred Land.

Was an indirect affirmation of the current status and power of the Mystic Sky Immortal Dynasty.

Gu Qingfeng certainly had no reason to resent this.
