Although Chu Mo was mentally prepared for this day to come.
However, he had to admit that it was a bit too early to start a war with the Alliance of the Underworld Gods at this moment.
The main problem is that our strength doesn't allow it!
The Underworld Alliance brought together the Yao and Yun families, plus a mysterious powerhouse who appeared out of nowhere.
The number of cultivators who have transcended tribulation has already exceeded forty, and this number is still growing.
What does this mean?
Take the Southern Region for example, there are only about twenty people who have passed the Tribulation Realm in the open.
Of course, this does not include Chu Mo and his group.
He wasn't familiar with the Eastern, Western, and Northern regions, but he figured they wouldn't be too different.
The most powerful region is Zhongzhou, which is embodied in the five ancient families.
The combined number of cultivators undergoing tribulation in these five families exceeds that of the two Southern Regions.
Moreover, each family has two or three high-level cultivators who are at least at the eighth tribulation level or above.
Including other families and independent cultivators, there are no fewer than sixty Tribulation Transcending cultivators in Zhongzhou.
No matter how you look at it, the Underworld Alliance has now become the number one power in the Kunlun Realm, which is an indisputable fact.
With twenty-two Transcending Tribulation cultivators, Chu Mo has quietly become the second largest force in the Kunlun Realm.
If the Jiang family is added to the mix, their strength becomes terrifyingly overwhelming.
Even so, they still couldn't compete with the Alliance of the Underworld.
The opposing side not only has more than a dozen more Transcending Tribulation cultivators, but also as many as ten Ninth Tribulation cultivators!
As for Chu Mo's side, even if we include him and his senior sister, plus Qiu Tianci, Jiang Jiren, and Jiang Jiliang, there are only five people with the ninth tribulation combat power.
The gap is too big; there's no way to win!
But now, if he hides away, it will be detrimental to his development.
To gain control of the Kunlun Realm, one must come out into the open and possess a territory of one's own.
This way, other forces that want to join him might consider him.
When two powerful forces clash, the goal is simply to strengthen themselves and weaken their enemy.
If even he himself lacks the confidence and courage to face the Alliance of the Underworld, how can others possibly come to join him?
Even if he stands in the open, there's no guarantee that anyone will come to him, but he should at least give it a try, right?
The key question is, what benefits can I offer to other people who come to join me?
Chu Mo fell into deep thought.
There's no chance of something as good as the Celestial Forbidden Zone happening again.
Because the other major restricted areas are not like the Sky Restricted Area.
Those who actually went in were either killed or seriously injured, not mysteriously disappeared.
Even if he could unravel the dangers and mysteries of those forbidden zones, there were no Transcending Tribulation cultivators waiting for him to rescue and recruit.
With a worried look on his face, Chu Mo followed Xiahou Nan back to the palace.
The other party treated them with the highest courtesy and expressed their gratitude.
Unfortunately, Chu Mo was distracted the whole time.
However, Xiahou Nan, who knew his situation, didn't care at all, and instead solemnly promised:
"Although the Demon Suppression Kingdom is weak, from this moment on, it will be Young Master Chu's most loyal and steadfast ally."
Chu Mo was slightly taken aback. Although having two more Tribulation Transcending cultivators wouldn't solve his current predicament, it was still a good start.
To his surprise, the Demon Suppression Kingdom actually chose to wade into this murky water.
You should know that Xiahou Nan was terrified of being implicated by him.
Or perhaps she was afraid of implicating his precious daughter.
Unexpectedly, they are now actively binding themselves to me and making such an important promise?
As if sensing his doubts, Xia Haonan said frankly:
"Young Master Chu need not be confused. The Demon Suppression Kingdom is now seen as a thorn in the side by the Invincible Holy Land, which wants to get rid of it as soon as possible."
"If it weren't for your rescue today, young master, we would have all perished long ago."
"Unless we submit to the Underworld Alliance, joining forces with Young Master Chu will be our only way to survive."
Chu Mo naturally knew that what the other party said was true. Ultimately, the reason why the Demon Suppression Kingdom was in its current state was because of his past actions.
But he didn't mince words anymore; the most urgent task was to quickly increase his strength.
Chu stood up, bowed slightly to the assembled cultivators, and said:
"Many of you here are senior figures, with extensive experience and knowledge. If I wanted to recruit other cultivators who have transcended tribulation to join me, what should I do?"
Qiu Tianci was the first to stand up, and respectfully bowed to Chu Mo in return, his expression solemn and serious, as if worshipping a deity.
After the ceremony was over, he smiled wryly and said:
"Young master, all cultivators who have transcended tribulation are proud and arrogant. Even if you have extraordinary talent, they will not come to serve you because of that."
"Moreover, our opponent is the powerful Underworld Alliance, so no one dares to take the risk here."
"However, we are not without appeal, and our appeal lies in you!"
"Me? You mean I should recruit talented people under the pretext of helping them overcome their tribulations?"
Chu Mo gave a wry smile; he had, of course, thought of this method as well.
But he had absolutely no idea how tempting it was.
And... other people have to believe it, right?
Qiu Tianci seemed to have guessed what he was thinking, and stroked his white beard with a smug expression, laughing loudly at him:
"Young master, you have seriously underestimated the allure of becoming an immortal for a cultivator."
"Otherwise, why would so many people, knowing that the tribulation is fraught with peril, still rush forward one after another?"
Moreover, why do you think the Underworld Alliance was able to attract the Yao and Yun families, as well as cultivators from other aristocratic families, to join?
Chu Mo's heart couldn't help but feel a little more confident.
"You mean...it's because Yang Tiancheng and the others are Celestial Immortals?"
"Do those people believe that since they are immortals descended to earth, they can surely help them become immortals as well?"
