Chapter 673 - 669: Nominating Xia Feng as Alliance Leader
The expressions of the people suddenly changed. Although there had been speculation that Xia Feng had mastered some method of enhancing cultivation, hearing him openly suggest it still left all the Divine Kings quite shocked.
Despite this, there was still a hint of hesitation in the expressions of the Divine Kings, evidently not very keen on taking risks.
Xia Feng did not try to persuade them further, just sat calmly in the main seat, looking at the Divine Kings present with a faint smile.
He knew that after weighing the pros and cons, these people would definitely agree to his invitation.
After all, if everyone else agreed and broke through to a higher realm, the one who didn’t agree would find themselves in a precarious situation.
The Celestial Sword Divine King was the first to agree, she said coolly, "If it’s something that can enhance cultivation, why wouldn’t I agree?"
"We already need to fight against the Demon and Nether Races, and now there’s such a benefit. Truly worthy of being my son-in-law, well done."
She had always focused on enhancing her cultivation, spending thousands of years in seclusion just for the Sword Dao.
Now that someone had offered a way to resolve her bottleneck, she naturally had no dissenting opinion.
The Life Divine King was the second to agree, after all, the Netherworld first invaded the Life Divine Domain, and she had struggled with that for too long.
Now having the opportunity to enhance her cultivation, even counterattack the detestable Netherworld, she was naturally all for it without any objections.
With someone taking the lead, the remaining few, though hesitant, eventually agreed to Xia Feng’s proposal.
With a smile, Xia Feng said, "Since everyone has made their decision, let’s establish the Divine Domain Alliance as agreed."
"Since I proposed the alliance, and the main training grounds are in Great Xia, I’ll assume the role of alliance leader. Is there any objection?"
Though Xia Feng’s tone appeared to be seeking opinions, there was no hint of actually considering others’ views, seeming somewhat imposing.
The Extreme Ice Divine King, originally a particularly authoritarian individual, heard this and her expression cooled.
"Everyone here is much older than you; isn’t it a bit inappropriate for you to be the alliance leader?"
Xia Feng still wore a warm smile. "There’s no need for the elders to worry about this."
"After all, compared to these trivial matters, I would rather everyone focus their energy on enhancing their cultivation."
"I reached the Divine Monarch level at my age; isn’t it because I’ve always been immersed in improving my cultivation?"
The Extreme Ice Divine King’s face turned somewhat sullen. "Who knows what method you used to cultivate..."
Li Wanqing’s face was even more unsightly, as she shouted, "Mother! Enough! Stop talking!"
The Extreme Ice Divine King paused, stared at her for a long while, and then reluctantly sat back down.
"Ha, raising a daughter is like this, growing up and longing for the outside world, truly a waste."
Li Wanqing turned her head away, humming softly, "You didn’t even raise me, so where do you get the right to say such things."
The Extreme Ice Divine King took several rough breaths as if still wanting to say something, but the Li Huo Divine King quickly held her down.
"Okay, say no more. It’s always been expected that the capable do more, and young Feng here is already a Divine Monarch; it’s suitable for him to be the alliance leader too."
"Now, he still gives us some leeway, merely discussing it. If he loses patience and acts directly, which of us can be his opponent?"
The Extreme Ice Divine King’s eyes sharpened: "He dares!"
Even so, she didn’t pick any further fights, sitting quietly and listening to Xia Feng’s arrangements.
Even if her face was still somewhat displeased.
Xia Feng distributed the Defense Array he acquired from the Array Ancient God to the Ten Great Divine Kings. While the other Divine Kings didn’t react as much, the Celestial Talisman Divine King was already engrossed with the recording crystal.
"My god, this is an Ancient Array!"
"The depiction here is truly wonderful; if I could understand the principle of this array, I’m sure I could break through to a Divine Monarch."
"Good lad, do you happen to have an inheritance from the Array Ancient God?"
With a smile on his face, Xia Feng did not answer this question, while several Ancient Gods beside him, upon hearing that understanding this Array Talisman could allow the Celestial Talisman Divine King to break through to a Divine Monarch, became a bit anxious one after another.
"Young Feng, do you have more of such good stuff?"
"We aren’t cultivating the Great Dao of Celestial Talisman; even with this, we can’t comprehend it completely."
Xia Feng waved his hand. "Don’t worry, everyone will have one. This array is for you to take back and set up in your Divine King City."
"With this array to guard the city, even if you’re not there, it can hold out for a hundred years."
"Merely enhancing your cultivation is not enough; I also need more cultivators, so after you return, each of you selects a hundred thousand elites to come with you to Great Xia."
He made some calculations; with the successive Xia Emperors, Father Xia, Mrs. Xia, and those soldiers from Great Xia who had followed him for many years, the number was already considerable.
However, their realms were rather low, requiring much time to cultivate to higher levels.
It was better to directly request a million elites from the Ten Great Divine Kings, conserving some effort.
But he wouldn’t demand too many people; each Divine Domain was to provide the same number of elites, preventing the Divine Kings from forming new conquest intentions after resolving the Demon and Nether Realms.
The Divine Kings quickly understood Xia Feng’s intent, looking at him with a bit more scrutiny: "You indeed have some ideas."
"But can this array really support a century?"
"If it breaks during our absence while I’ve taken all the city’s elites, isn’t that dooming those ordinary cultivators?"
Just as Xia Feng was about to explain, the Celestial Talisman Divine King, face flushed with excitement, explained, "This array can last not just a century; as long as someone is within it, it can sustain for thousands of years."
"This lad is truly generous, giving such precious treasures without batting an eye."
"You should know this array is more exquisite than those in our cities now; if he asked to trade for something, even the hidden families would be willing to spend all to exchange."
His face wearing a happy smile, he suddenly felt it wasn’t so bad having a capable son-in-law like this.
If he could even gain some benefits, then how much more could his daughter gain?
With this thought, his smile became even more pronounced.
The other Ten Great Divine Kings, seeing his unseemly demeanor, found it hard to endure.
However, they also knew the Celestial Talisman Divine King never exaggerated the value of things, so this array they held might really be an excellent life-saving Array Talisman.
Thinking this, they exchanged glances and said one after another, "We’ll return and arrange the array, then each bring ten thousand elites over."
