Now that Zhou Xingdou has visited the three immortal realms related to him—the Underworld Palace, the Sacred Land of the Universe, and the Yin-Yang Grotto—there are no other forces that require him to visit.
The other immortals are unlikely to help him, let alone lend a hand. It would be fortunate if they didn't become the dominant force of Tianjizi.
With the power to transcend the two realms, even though the Primordial Dao Domain and the Primordial Dao Domain are extremely far apart, it didn't take Zhou Xingdou long to return to the Star Alliance.
The first thing Zhou Xingdou did upon returning to the Star Alliance was to summon everyone at the Zhou Tian Palace.
This summons was different from the hasty one last time.
The seven Holy Hall Ancestors and Holy Hall Masters all came upon receiving the order. The four servants of the Zhou family stood below the high seat, and Qiu Yu and You Ji also appeared, representing the Finance Hall and the Martial Soul Hall respectively.
The four servants of the Zhou family also brought over a phoenix throne in advance and sat down slightly to Zhou Xingdou's right, allowing Luo Hanyi to take her seat.
Ning Yue stood beside Luo Hanyi's phoenix throne like a protector.
Originally, Wei Fuzi, who was on Zhou Xingdou's right, had also prepared a phoenix throne, but since Tian Jiu'er did not appear, it was not used.
With her master absent, Luo Hanyi sat upright on her phoenix throne, displaying the demeanor of a matriarch, which was quite dignified and proper.
"I made some progress during my trip. The Underworld Palace agreed to keep an eye on the Xuan Tian Dao Sect for the Star Heaven Alliance. The Underworld King will also take action to help us deal with Tian Jizi."
"The Holy Land of the Universe and the Yin-Yang Grotto will also come to our aid to help the Star Alliance overcome this calamity."
Zhou Xingdou sat upright on the throne, his expression calm yet his voice authoritative.
However, the news he brought eased the heavy atmosphere in the Zhou Tian Hall, and Master Wei breathed a sigh of relief.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Xingdou knew that during his absence from the Star Alliance, they must have received some bad news.
Before Zhou Xingdou could ask, Wu Fatian, the founder of the Divine Martial Temple, stepped forward and reported to Zhou Xingdou:
"Some news came from the Shadow Ancestor and the Shadow Sanctuary yesterday."
"Master Wu, please speak."
"They discovered in the Taiyi Dao Domain that the Tianji Ancient Pavilion has been in close contact with the Qian family these past few days, and many high-ranking members from the Taixu Temple, the Sun Holy Land, and the Taiyin Holy Land have been visiting the Tianji Ancient Pavilion today!"
Zhou Xingdou's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing this.
The Gan family was the same Gan family that Gan Tianquan had mentioned before his death, the new Daoist he had killed at the Xuantian Dao Sect.
Zhou Xingdou was completely unscrupulous at the time. Even though Gan Tianquan clearly stated that he was the young master of the Gan family, he did not hesitate to kill him completely.
Because the Gan family has long since declined, although it is still an immortal family, it is now the lowest of the low. It is said that if the current head of the Gan family had not been capable, it would have already fallen out of the immortal ranks.
Moreover, the Gan family is located in the Tai Su Dao Domain, which is extremely far from the Tai Chu Dao Domain. A single fallen immortal, Zhou Xingdou, certainly has the right to look down on them, so killing Gan Tianquan was not a problem for them.
However, Taixu Temple, the Sun Holy Land, and the Moon Holy Land are not as dilapidated as the Gan family.
Taixu Temple and Tianji Ancient Pavilion both exist in the Taiyi Dao Domain, but Taixu Temple is not as low-key and mysterious as Tianji Ancient Pavilion.
Taixu Temple is known as the most powerful in supernatural abilities.
Moreover, this title is not only claimed by Taixu Temple itself, but is also highly recognized by most people in Chuyuan.
Xuanjizi was once so famous in the early days that he overshadowed his peers at Taixu Temple, who were known for their supernatural powers, and none dared to challenge him!
In terms of power, Taixu Temple ranks among the top three immortal forces in the minds of most people in the early Yuan Dynasty!
From any perspective, the Taixu Temple was a colossal institution!
The Sun Holy Land and the Moon Holy Land, each occupying a portion of the world within the Taiji Dao Domain, are extremely ancient and prosperous immortal forces, something that a fallen family like the Gan family cannot afford to offend.
With the three powerful and immortal families, plus the mysterious Heavenly Secrets Pavilion, even disregarding the impoverished Gan family, they are a force that inspires despair!
It's no wonder everyone was so heavy-hearted just now; even Zhou Xingdou felt a sinking feeling in his heart upon hearing this.
The Burning Medicine Ancestor beside Wu Fatian stroked his beard and echoed:
"The Gan family is almost certain to help Tianjizi. They desperately need a victory in the Immortal War to solidify their crumbling Immortal status."
The Heavenly Punishment Ancestor seemed to hold the Gan family in utter contempt:
"The Gan family is nothing but a destitute bunch, nothing to fear. Even if they were to come out, the Heavenly Punishment Hall would not be afraid of them."
Master Guyang clenched his fist and said:
"The important thing is Taixu Temple and the two holy lands of Taiyang and Taiyin. However, now that the young master has brought in the assistance of the Universal Holy Land and Yin-Yang Cave, it is not without a chance of victory."
"That's not the case. Although Taixu Temple and the Sun and Moon Holy Lands are not weak, it is still unknown whether they will truly assist Tianji Ancient Pavilion. We cannot draw conclusions now."
Master Wei suddenly spoke up to refute Patriarch Guyang's words, and continued slowly:
"Moreover, even if the Taixu Temple, the Sun, and the Moon Holy Land are truly persuaded by Tianjizi, given their ancient and ever-cautious nature, they would never fully support the Tianji Ancient Pavilion. They might even agree to Tianjizi's request but only send some insignificant cannon fodder to make a show of it and try to take advantage of the situation."
Listening to Master Wei's analysis, Zhou Xingdou also felt that there was some truth to it. Most of the immortals on all sides were acting in their own interests. Even if Tianjizi came to attack the Xingtian Alliance, it would definitely be a thankless task.
"Master Wei is right, but the Star Alliance should still prepare for the worst."
Zhou Xingdou lightly tapped the armrest of the throne, his eyes flashing with destructive lightning:
"From now on, we will make every effort to prepare for war, open the Zhou family's treasure trove, fully arm the Star Heaven Alliance, and arm every Supreme and even Saint to the point of blessing, and fill their storage rings with precious medicines."
No matter what force they are, if they dare to come, we'll tear a piece of their flesh off!
Zhou Xingdou's deep yet authoritative voice resounded throughout the Zhou Tian Palace, inspiring the crowd to echo his sentiments:
"The Divine Refining Hall will now cease all other operations and focus entirely on refining battle puppets. Just the self-destruction of these battle puppets alone will be enough to give them a run for their money!"
"Damn it, who will destroy our Starry Sky Alliance? Even if we can't win, we'll fight to the death to kill them and bring them down from the Immortal Realm!"
...
After everyone's extreme remarks subsided, Zhou Xingdou inquired about the current preparations, but they were nothing more than formations and traps.
As the defending side, the Star Alliance has the advantage of terrain, which gives them a natural edge.
The eight holy halls are fearless and each has its own special skills. In fact, when it comes to power, the Star Alliance is by no means weaker than any of the Immortal Halls in the Primordial Era.
Even if two immortal beings attacked, Zhou Xingdou would not be afraid of them in the slightest.
But to be honest, Zhou Xingdou really didn't know how much power Tianjizi could summon, and he didn't even have the confidence to win.
The meeting did not last long; after all, the date was approaching and the time would only get shorter, and they had too much to do.
It was no easy task to fully arm the Star Alliance and make it impregnable within a month.
A moment later, only Zhou Xingdou, Luo Hanyi, and Ning Yueze remained in the hall.
