These trash dare to compare themselves with us?

They, the members of the Central Domain Human Race, are born at the pinnacle of the world. How could those cultivators from the outside world even be mentioned in the same breath?

Just because they have a few disciples with decent talent, do they really think they can match the Central Domain?

Within the Eternal Night Immortal Sect, an Elder's eyes were filled with disdain as he stared at the cultivators from the West Ridge and said, "Truly ignorant of the heights of the heavens and the depths of the earth. Without us, the Central Domain Human Race, do you think the cultivators of the West Ridge could have survived until now? Still dreaming of independence? I'd like to see the cultivators of the West Ridge try!"

His words thoroughly enraged the cultivators of the West Ridge. Although they were no match for the Central Domain Human Race, if a real battle ensued, the cultivators of the West Ridge would certainly not shy away. In the worst case, it would be a situation where both the fish dies and the net splits; no one would have it easy!

"What? You also want a scenario where both the fish dies and the net splits?"

The Elder continued, "I don't mean to look down on you, but aside from the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, the rest of you attacking together wouldn't be a match for me. Eradicating the Human Race of the West Ridge would be as easy as crushing an ant!"

He was not wrong. Although the cultivators of the West Ridge were stronger than those from the Northern Wilderness, they were far from being as strong as the cultivators from the Central Domain. Before the Central Domain cultivators, their power was indeed much weaker. Even some of the major forces in the Central Domain could send just a few people to sweep across the entire West Ridge.

"HAHAHA, how amusing!" Xu Nian suddenly burst into loud laughter. "I must say I've seen my share of idiots, but never any quite as idiotic as you lot."

"Xu Nian, what do you mean? Do you really think we wouldn't dare to make a move against your Profound Yellow Sect?" The Elder suddenly turned his gaze towards Xu Nian.

Xu Nian replied with utter contempt, "Make a move? Why doesn't your Eternal Night Immortal Sect give it a try? See if I alone, at the Integration Realm, can obliterate your entire sect?"

A single sentence, and the entire scene fell silent. They had all heard of Xu Nian's power. His Integration Realm cultivation was comparable to the Tribulation Realm. Indeed, there were not many in the Central Domain who could fight him. If he were to truly unleash his full power, the Eternal Night Immortal Sect might indeed suffer a serious setback.

"Fellow cultivators of the West Ridge, although our Profound Yellow Sect is a lesser sect, we have some means at our disposal. If you don't mind, why don't you also join our alliance with the Great Dream Immortal Sect?"

Xu Nian looked at the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect and smiled. "After all, the grand forces of the Central Domain think too highly of themselves to bother with us. Why not let them play by themselves while the Human Race from the other three regions joins together to do our own thing?"

This overt attempt to sway the cultivators of the West Ridge made the faces of the Central Domain Human Race turn exceedingly ugly. They had never imagined things would turn out this way. But now, they dared not make a move against Xu Nian. No one wanted to become the next Feixian Sect.

Meng Fenggu of the Great Dream Immortal Sect said with a smile, "Shangguan Jian, there's no need to hesitate. If our three regions unite to cultivate disciples, we will surely be capable of producing a Heaven's Pride. What's more, allying with us brings only benefits and no detriments. When the Demon Race invaded the Southern Continent, the Profound Yellow Sect learned of it and set up an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array to come to our aid. They even ventured deep into the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to battle the combined forces of the Demon Race and the Sea Race.

"By joining hands with us, your West Ridge has nothing to lose and everything to gain. Shangguan Jian, do you really want to remain the Central Domain's dogs?"

At Meng Fenggu's instigation, Shangguan Jian, the Sect Leader of the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect, also fell silent. The West Ridge cultivators were not as strong as those from the Southern Continent. If they could ally with the Great Dream Immortal Sect, it would be a splendid opportunity. Not to mention, they greatly coveted the marvelous Communication Rings of the Profound Yellow Sect. Seeing the triumphant expression on Meng Fenggu's face, perhaps after the alliance, their Cyan Lotus Sword Sect could also have such a day.

"Good! I, Shangguan Jian, hereby swear to form an alliance with the Profound Yellow Sect and the Great Dream Immortal Sect! If I betray this oath, may heavenly lightning destroy my Cyan Lotus Sword Sect!"

Shangguan Jian was decisive, agreeing on the spot.

Xu Nian and Meng Fenggu exchanged glances, both smiling knowingly.

The Central Domain thinks too highly of itself? Well then, we'll play on our own from now on, not including you. Go ahead and continue to hold yourselves in such high esteem.

"White Jade Fairy, I think our Profound Yellow Sect's cooperation with your sect must be put on hold for now," Xu Nian said with a smile. "Now that the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect has partnered with us, the Communication Rings and Realm-Breaking Pills must naturally be prioritized for them. Your sect can wait. Once we have equipped all West Ridge cultivators in the Southern Continent with Communication Rings, we can resume our cooperation."

Isn't this just about tearing off all pretenses? As if we wouldn't do the same! At worst, none of us will have it easy.

They wouldn't earn Spirit Crystals from the Central Domain anymore; now they would earn from the West Ridge. It would just be a little less, which wouldn't affect the Players much. Besides, they weren't in a hurry to break through. Once higher-grade Realm-Breaking Pills were refined, wouldn't breakthroughs be effortless?

Upon hearing this, White Jade Fairy's expression changed. She was well aware of the benefits of Communication Rings and Realm-Breaking Pills. If this cooperation stopped now, her Jade Flower Immortal Sect would suffer a great loss. But at the moment, the other forces of the Central Domain clearly didn't want to offer any explanation. If her Jade Flower Immortal Sect openly sided against them, they would likely find it even harder to survive in the Central Domain in the future. The Jade Flower Immortal Sect was very clear about the Central Domain Human Race's mentality. Even some disciples within her Jade Flower Immortal Sect were influenced, and quite a few had become arrogant and haughty.

"HAHAHA, then I must thank Sect Leader Xu," Shangguan Jian said, walking over to Xu Nian and Meng Fenggu to express his gratitude.

Meng Fenggu, being generous, directly took out a handful of Communication Rings from his Storage Ring and stuffed them into Shangguan Jian's hands.

"We're all on the same side now. Consider these a gift from my Great Dream Immortal Sect! If you want more later, you'll have to spend Spirit Crystals!"

Meng Fenggu laughed heartily. "Don't be polite. In the future, we'll sell them to you at the lowest price. We absolutely won't cheat our fellow cultivators from the West Ridge."

Looking at the handful of Communication Rings in his hand, Shangguan Jian felt his scalp tingle.

What's going on? Are such treasures so worthless?

Xu Nian also took out some Realm-Breaking Pills and handed them to Shangguan Jian, saying, "Sect Leader Shangguan, these Realm-Breaking Pills can directly help a cultivator advance to the Golden Core Realm without any side effects. Take them back and nurture some disciples."

Advance directly to the Golden Core Realm?! And it won't even affect the foundation?

How does the Profound Yellow Sect have such miraculous elixirs? These are treasures that even the forces in the Central Domain couldn't procure!

Damn it! How could cultivators from the Northern Wilderness have such opportunities?

"Thank you, thank you! After things are settled here, you both must come visit my Cyan Lotus Sword Sect," Shangguan Jian said gratefully. "Although the Spiritual Qi in our West Ridge is not as abundant as in the Southern Continent, the scenery is definitely exceptionally beautiful. Furthermore, there are many other races living in the West Ridge, all of whom have good relations with our Human Race. It would be great if we could all get together!"

"Then I shall gladly accept!" Xu Nian also responded with a smile.

He too wanted to visit the West Ridge. After all, for the Players, this game version allowed for switching races. In the Northern Wilderness, only the Demon Race resided, so it was uncertain what choices the Players would make. The West Ridge had many races. If they could establish good relations with them and then figure out a method for identity conversion, perhaps the Players could substantially increase their combat power.

"It's been many years since I've been to the West Ridge, so it's perfect for us all to go together!"

Meng Fenggu turned and laughed. "Sect Leader Xu, don't we also need to arrange for an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array to connect your sect directly with the Cyan Lotus Sword Sect?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian nodded. "That's simple. It's just an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array. My disciples can handle it. Sect Leader Shangguan, don't be surprised when it happens."

Listening to the conversation between the three, the expressions on the faces of the Central Domain Human Race cultivators grew even darker. Never mind anything else, just an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array alone would consume fifty percent of a major power's resources. With fifty percent of those resources used to cultivate disciples, at least five hundred disciples with exceptional talent could have been developed.

But what now?

The Profound Yellow Sect, with their vast wealth, is just going to directly connect the two regions? Are they unaware of what an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array truly entails?

"Brother Shangguan, don't be surprised. An Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array isn't much," Meng Fenggu boasted. "Our Great Dream Immortal Sect and the Profound Yellow Sect already have one. And when they went to make trouble for the Demon Race before, they also set one up near the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Just in our Southern Continent alone, we already have two! I heard that the Eastern Region originally had one too, but it was sealed due to a previous great war. So for Sect Leader Xu and his people, an Inter-Provincial Teleportation Array really isn't much. It's not even as valuable as the Spiritual Medicine they cultivate."
