What was there to ask about the Heaven Alliance?
Be it Xiao Chen or Yun Fei, they would definitely be curious about the Heavenly Alliance.
However, even though he wanted to ask, he didn't know where to start.
"Master, just what kind of organization is the Heavenly Alliance?" Yunfei asked.
What kind of organization was the Heavenly Alliance? It was said to be an organization formed by the merchant associations of the world. How did it operate? How did it coordinate the interests of the various merchant associations? What did joining the Heavenly Alliance mean? Were those merchant associations not members of the Heavenly Alliance?
It seemed like a simple question, but it was actually filled with many mysteries.
At the mention of this topic, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor showed a somewhat complicated expression. He said softly, "The Heavenly Alliance's accumulations are rather weak. It was established after the previous great war between the righteous factions and the demonic factions. Not only were they plundered and massacred by the various demonic sects, but they were also extorted and extorted by the forces of the righteous path. Without top martial power, no matter how much wealth you have, it's all in vain. "
"After that, the top ten merchant associations of the Martial Epoch worked together to form the Heavenly Alliance. Their goal was to gather the strength of everyone and create their own top-notch combat strength that belonged to the various large merchant associations. They would nurture them without any regard for resources. Facts had proven that as long as there were enough resources, peerless experts could always be nurtured. Furthermore, when the Heavenly Alliance was established, it used all sorts of treasures to attract some neutral Faux Gods, finally allowing the Heavenly Alliance to become a new super faction. Now, it has the capital to contend with the other super factions and will no longer be extorted or suppressed.
Yunfei asked doubtfully, "The Righteous Dao factions will also extort merchant associations?"
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said indifferently, "Of course, they will be suppressed if there are benefits. Furthermore, those sects and empires cannot compete with professional merchant associations in terms of business. Furthermore, there were some merchant associations that pursued profits too much, causing the sect to loathe them. Since I can't compete with you, I'll just have to use force to take it. Otherwise, if you take all the benefits, how will the sect survive? "
"There's no right or wrong in this. It's just a battle of interests. In fact, even now, the Heaven Alliance is forced to give up a lot of its interests when it encounters some troublesome factions."
At this point, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor paused for a moment before continuing, "Let me return to the earlier topic. After the Heavenly Alliance became a super faction, some interesting things happened."
"What interesting phenomenon?"
"Those merchant associations discovered that they could no longer control the Heavenly Alliance. However, that was the truth. Now, the Heaven Alliance was no longer an alliance of merchant associations. Now, the various merchant associations are the subordinates of the Heavenly Alliance. "
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor said seriously, "Hence, Yun Fei, you asked what kind of organization the Heavenly Alliance is. More accurately speaking, the Heavenly Alliance is the super faction that controls the merchant associations in the world. The difference in power has changed long ago. "
Xiao Chen was slightly startled, but he did not change too much. Strength reigned supreme, and the weak were prey to the strong.
The Martial Epoch always followed this rule. Since they had the strength to destroy others at will, why should they listen to the orders of these merchant associations?
"Master, I understand."
Yun Fei nodded, indicating that he already understood what kind of organization the Heavenly Alliance was.
At the end of the day, the Heavenly Alliance was a colossus that ruled over countless chambers of commerce and had subsidiary forces all over the Great Thousand Worlds.
However, only a small number of people were in control of these behemoths.
These were the official members of the Heaven Alliance.
One could say that Xiao Chen and Yun Fei joining the Heavenly Alliance meant that they were the masters of these subordinate factions.
No matter how much authority those famous merchant associations had or how many resources they controlled, their statuses were lower than Xiao Chen and Yun Fei's.
After that, Yun Fei asked many more questions about the Heavenly Alliance, and the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor answered them all.
"Xiao Chen, do you not have any questions?"
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor asked when he saw that Xiao Chen had been listening.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought before replying, "Actually, I do not have much to ask. I only care about how many benefits I can obtain by entering the Heavenly Alliance and what the price is."
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor smiled when he heard that. Xiao Chen was so direct that he did not know how to answer.
"Compared to the other super factions, we might have to pay more. Due to the Heavenly Alliance's accumulations, it is more utilitarian. It will maximize the value of every member, unlike the other super factions. "
At the mention of this, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor felt helpless. Although the Heavenly Alliance turned from guest to host, taking over the merchant associations in the world, the merchant associations were the Heavenly Alliance's foundation. However, the merchant association was the Heavenly Alliance's foundation, after all. Inevitably, it was more utilitarian than the other super factions.
"This is to my liking. This is good."
Xiao Chen thought for a while. He did not mind the Heavenly Alliance's utilitarianism. They were just using each other; there was no need to be so calculative.
After the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor explained a little more, he said, "As for the rest, I cannot explain it to you in detail right now. Remember, do not change your original intentions. Go back, then. The Heavenly Alliance's people should arrive tomorrow. "
After the two took their leave, Yun Fei appeared somewhat excited compared to Xiao Chen's calmness.
He had lived in the peaceful Peach Blossom City for one hundred years. Now, he could finally enter the Heavenly Alliance. He felt like a great wind was blowing and a great roc was about to take flight. He wished that he could immediately display his abilities and fulfill his Martial Dao ambitions.
"Xiao Chen, what are your thoughts on entering the Heavenly Alliance?" Yun Fei asked.
"Me? I don't seem to have any thoughts. I just hope to gain the strength to match a Sovereign Emperor. "
Right now, Xiao Chen's vision was no longer limited to the Sovereign Personage Realm. His temporary goal was to gain the strength to fight a Sovereign Emperor as soon as possible.
Yun Fei smiled and said, "After we enter the Heavenly Alliance, it is just a matter of time before we become Sovereign Emperors. We should aim higher."
--- Early the next morning, the blazing sun rose from the east of the Overflowing Sea.
The surface of the sea shimmered with light. Everyone in Desolate City watched this scene. This scene was pleasing to the eye and shocking to the eye. Every sunrise left a deep impression.
Xiao Chen, Yun Fei, and Lei Hao got up on time to exercise in the courtyard.
After a while, the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor appeared at the same time with a gray-robed old man. The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor pointed to Xiao Chen and Yun Fei. The gray-robed old man nodded slightly and sized up the two.
Xiao Chen knew that this old man should be bringing them to the Heavenly Alliance.
"Come with me, then."
The gray-robed old man walked over and looked at Xiao Chen and Yun Fei. He did not say anything more.
This straightforwardness made Xiao Chen and Yun Fei somewhat uncomfortable. The two were stunned for a while before saying their goodbyes to Lei Hao and the Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor.
As Lei Hao watched Xiao Chen and Yun Fei being led away, he felt very complicated. He knew that after they left, Xiao Chen and Yun Fei would be led away.
He knew that after leaving, he would no longer have any interactions with Xiao Chen and Lei Hao.
Xiao Chen felt disappointed. Only after the Heavenly Alliance's test ended did he truly taste disappointment.
"Master, do I still have a chance to enter the Heavenly Alliance?" Lei Hao asked, feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
The Peach Blossom Sovereign Emperor felt some heartache. He patted Xiao Chen's shoulder and sighed. "You might not become a powerful expert just by entering the Heavenly Alliance. You will have plenty of opportunities."
However, Lei Hao smiled bitterly in his heart. This answer told him that he had no chance of entering the Heavenly Alliance.
If Xiao Chen were as young as Xiao Chen, he would definitely have a chance. However, he was already close to one hundred years old. He could not wait for the next Heavenly Alliance's test.
After leaving the residence, the gray-robed old man called Nangong Feng over. Then, he brought the three to Desolate City's City Lord, Shangguan Yun.
The two each took out a damaged jade pendant. The jade pendants matched perfectly. Then, Shangguan Yun activated an extremely hidden Dao Platform in the City Lord's Residence.
"Work hard. Entering the Heavenly Alliance does not mean that it is over. This is just the beginning. You still have a long way to go. Don't disappoint me. "
When the three stepped onto the Dao Platform, the purple-haired old man warned solemnly as he looked at Xiao Chen, Yun Fei, and Nangong Feng.
"We will follow Lord Shangguan's instructions."
After Shangguan Yun withdrew, Yun Fei looked at the hidden Dao Platform under his feet. He asked curiously, "Where are we going? Are we going directly to the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters? "
"No, we are going to meet up with the people from the other test zones first. With your authority, you cannot use the Dao Platform to teleport to the Heavenly Alliance's headquarters."
The gray-robed old man explained casually as he busied himself with activating the Dao Platform.
Meeting up? I can finally see the experts from the other test zones. Xiao Chen felt anticipation in his heart.
