The Southernmost Point
"The Triple Heavenly Alliance is a silver-ranked power that rules over the Sovereign's Abyss. It has five bronze-ranked powers under it, namely the Heavenly Sword Tower, Asura Palace, Heavenly Medicine Alliance, Raging Flame Sect, and Thieving Sky Valley.
Ren Ganggang continued, "The five Bronze rank forces have to hand over tributes every year. However, the Triple Heavenly Alliance is a Silver rank force. The rules of tributes aren't the same as the Yiye Sword Sect's five Common Iron rank forces' tributes to Heaven Sword Tower. Everyone has their own rules."
"Oh? Rules? "
"That's right!"
"The Tripolar Heavenly Alliance has set up a competition between the five great Bronze factions. Every five years, they will select the most outstanding disciples from the first to the fifth to compete with each other. The first to the fifth will compete with each other."
"If the tributes are divided into fifteen portions, the fifth place will hand over five points, the fourth place will hand over four points, and so on …"
"Therefore, in the competition every five years, the Bronze rank forces will rack their brains to fight for the first place and raise their sect's ranking."
It's actually like this?
Mu Yun was also a little surprised.
"In that case, the strongest force will hand over the least amount of tributes. Over time, won't they improve the fastest?"
"Haha, as a Silver rank force, how could the Triple Heavenly Alliance not know this?"
Ren Ganggang smiled and said, "However, this is also the ingenuity of the Triple Heavenly Alliance. They aren't afraid of the five Bronze rank forces surpassing them. Instead, they choose the survival of the fittest method to strengthen themselves."
"The stronger the five Bronze rank forces are, the stronger the Triple Heavenly Alliance will be. In the eyes of the Nine Immortal Pavilion, the Gold rank force above them, they will naturally be more important."
"I see …"
Mu Yun also gradually understood.
This Tripolar Heavenly Alliance was like raising five lions.
They let the five lions show their sharp claws. Whoever was stronger would have more meat to eat, and whoever was weaker would be eliminated.
Survival of the fittest.
However, no matter how strong the five lions were, they were only lions in his eyes. The chains that tied the lions were always in his hands.
On the other hand, this kind of competition could make these five lions grow stronger and make him, the master, be more valued by the big boss behind him because of the improvement of his lions.
This Sword Domain's management method of progressing step by step was truly brilliant!
"What's the ranking of the Heaven Sword Tower over the past hundreds of years?"
"Fourth or fifth!"
Ren Ganggang smiled bitterly and said, "Only the Heavenly Medicine Union is occasionally weaker than the Heaven Sword Tower. The other three Bronze rank forces, Asura Palace, Raging Flame Sect, and Thieving Sky Valley, are all very powerful."
"That's why the Tower Master has always been very anxious. Over the years, he has been constantly nurturing his disciples."
"I see …"
He had thought that the Heaven Sword Tower had the Yiye Sword Sect and the other five Iron-level factions, and that they would be able to do whatever they wanted in the South Pole.
But now, it seemed that the Triple Heavenly Alliance, which controlled the Sovereign's Abyss, was even more ruthless.
"So what you're saying is … Tian Junyu is anxious. He saw my talent and wants to recruit me?"
"Yes!"
Hearing this, Mu Yun also heaved a sigh of relief.
It was not because of what happened in the Yellow Spring City. It seemed that Ye Guxue was just scaring himself and gave him a fright.
"But I still don't understand. Your Heaven Sword Tower has plenty of inner sword pavilion disciples who are stronger than me. You don't have to come to me, right?"
"Uh …"
Ren Ganggang smiled bitterly and said, "Young Master, you still don't understand. This competition is not only about strength, but also about talent. It's just that I don't know how to compete. But the Tower Master has been very anxious recently!"
"Alright!"
Mu Yun nodded and said, "In that case, I'll accompany you."
"Thank you, Young Master."
"Don't keep calling me Young Master. I'm not a Young Master now."
Ren Ganggang cupped his hands and said, "You're the Hall Master's son. Naturally, you're my Young Master."
"…"
Ren Ganggang really worshipped his father, Mu Qingyu, to the point that he had no bottom line.
But in other words, her father's charm was indeed very great.
"Father is really unpredictable!"
Mu Yun sighed in his heart.
"By the way, Young Master, Shen Miao came with me this time. There might be a little trouble on the way."
"This guy still hasn't given up!"
Mu Yun smiled and said, "Don't interfere in this matter. I'll deal with him."
"Yes!"
Ren Ganggang stayed in the Yiye Sword Sect for three days. On the third day, he left the Yiye Sword Sect with Mu Yun.
Ye Guxue's eyes were full of worry.
Mu Yun did not want to expose his current relationship with Ren Ganggang, so he might as well let Ye Guxue worry.
However, Mu Yun's departure immediately caused a storm in the Yiye Sword Sect.
Why did Heaven Sword Tower send a closed-door disciple to take Mu Yun away?
Some people said that it was because Mu Yun offended the disciples of Heaven Sword Tower last time. This time, they were angry and came to find trouble with Mu Yun.
Some people also said that Heaven Sword Tower took a fancy to Mu Yun's monstrous talent and wanted to rope in Mu Yun.
Anyway, there were different opinions.
Compared to the heated discussion in the Yiye Sword Sect, the Samsara Party was rather quiet.
Under Mu Yun's instructions, the Samsara Party now had more than two thousand members.
There were hundreds of core members, and they were all reliable.
This time, Mu Yun only told Lin Zhixiu and the other three the truth. Taking this opportunity, he could test the loyalty of the new members.
At the same time, Mu Yun had already left the Yiye Sword Sect with Ren Ganggang and rushed towards the Heaven Sword Tower.
From Ren Ganggang's words, Mu Yun found out more information.
The area ruled by Heaven Sword Tower was tens of thousands of miles wide, and it was called the South Pole.
As a Bronze-level force, Heaven Sword Tower had five Mortal-level forces: Yiye Sword Sect, Heavenly Master Sword Sect, Xijian Pavilion, Xingyue Sword Mansion, and Nine Stacks Sect.
However, Heaven Sword Tower was under the jurisdiction of the Silver-level force, Triple Heavenly Alliance.
As a Silver-level force, Triple Heavenly Alliance had countless experts, Sky Immortals, and Earth Immortals. It was the overlord of the Gods' Abyss.
The South Pole was only a part of the southern part of the Gods' Abyss.
Triple Heavenly Alliance was a Silver-level force, and it was under the jurisdiction of the Gold-level force, Nine Immortal Pavilion.
Nine Immortal Pavilion was one of the four Gold-level forces under the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect. The southern part of the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect was under its jurisdiction, and the area under its jurisdiction was called the Southern Sword Region.
Mu Yun now had a rough idea of where he was.
The southernmost part of the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect.
That's right, the southernmost part!
Knowing this, Mu Yun could only smile bitterly.
What else could he say?
How unlucky!
Out of the ten major regions of the Immortal Realm, the Sword Region was in the south, and the Cloud Alliance was in the north.
Putting aside the fact that one was in the south and the other in the north, he actually ran to the southernmost part of the Sword Region.
One was in the south, the other was in the north.
If he wanted to return to the Cloud Region and enter the Cloud Alliance, he still had to cross the Sword Region, then pass through the most chaotic "Land of Extreme Chaos" in the center of the Immortal Realm, and then pass through the north to reach the Cloud Alliance.
It was easy to say, but there were thousands of miles between them.
Even if he was an Earth Immortal or Sky Immortal, he might die halfway if he wasn't careful, let alone a Human Immortal.
And even if he reached the Cloud Alliance, he might not even be able to enter the Cloud Alliance before he was killed.
Was he going to shout that he was the reincarnation of the leader of the Cloud Alliance, Mu Yun?
Who would believe that!
Mu Yun suddenly felt a headache coming on.
There was still some distance between the Heaven Sword Tower and the Yiye Sword Sect.
The group continued on their journey, stopping from time to time. After a day, they had only covered half of the journey.
"Let's call it a day. Let's rest!"
Ren Ganggang led the team and said.
"Okay!"
Shen Miao smiled and said, "Senior Brother Ren, this place is just right. Everyone is tired."
During this day, Shen Miao followed the team obediently and didn't do anything to Mu Yun.
However, Mu Yun wasn't in a hurry.
"Well, Junior Brother Shen, I'll take a few people with me to explore the surroundings. At the same time, I'll see if there are any Immortal Beasts with delicious meat. It just so happens that I have some good wine with me. Let's have a good drink!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Shen Miao nod, Ren Ganggang said again, "You guys stay here and prepare the ingredients. I'll be back soon with a few Junior Brothers!"
"Okay!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ren Gangang brought his Senior and Junior Brothers with him.
In the forest, only Mu Yun, Shen Miao, and a few other Outer Sword Pavilion disciples were left.
"You, you, you, the three of you, go and guard the surroundings!"
Seeing Ren Ganggang and the others leave, Shen Miao immediately ordered the three Stage Eight Human Immortal Realm disciples.
"Yes!"
"Zui Ming, Xiu Wei, both of you are Stage Nine Human Immortals. Is this kid confident in dealing with you?"
Shen Miao looked at the two people beside him and said in a low voice, "Ming Qian was defeated by him."
"Junior Brother Shen, don't worry!"
The two people beside Shen Miao nodded and said, "Although Mu Yun is a Stage Nine Human Immortal, he's a Stage Nine of the Yiye Sword Sect. How can he be compared to us? If the two of us attack, he'll definitely kneel and beg for mercy."
"Okay!"
Shen Miao nodded and said, "Teach this kid a lesson. After this, I'll plead for my grandfather and ask for the Energy Gathering Immortal Elixir for you."
"Thank you!"
Along the way, Mu Yun had been thinking about how to improve her realm and how to improve her strength step by step to get out of the Sword Domain.
In her previous life, her swordsmanship master, Mie Tian Yan, died because of the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect of the Sword Domain. As the leader of the Cloud Alliance, she was the leader of a domain.
If the Cloud Alliance and the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect went to war and both sides lost, the other domains would definitely be eyeing her covetously.
Hence, she couldn't take revenge.
Because she wasn't strong enough.
But this time, it was different.
According to Ren Ganggang, if she improved her strength and talent in the Sword Domain, she might be able to become a disciple of the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect in the end.
At that time, as long as she could improve her strength step by step, it wouldn't be impossible to sow discord between the 33 Heavenly Sword Sect and the four subordinate Gold rank forces and cause internal strife in the Sword Domain.
It wasn't that there weren't any benefits to returning.
At least, she could use this unknown identity to stir up a storm.
But these were just plans now.
If she really wanted to implement them, she still needed to plan step by step.
In that case, she would start from the first step.
She would help the Heaven Sword Tower stand out in the competition between the five Bronze rank forces.
Step by step, who could say for sure what realm she could reach by then?
