"Discussing its preciousness, my Immovable Lord Technique is something only successive Monarchs have the qualification to unseal and cultivate. It is not inferior in the slightest to your Hale family’s Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique."

"Bringing this cultivation technique here today represents one hundred percent sincerity."

"Yet Saint Lord Alex evades like this. Could it be you want to catch a white wolf with empty hands?"

Facing Kaia’s sharp questioning, Alex instantly felt it was somewhat tricky, unable to help but suck air through his teeth.

This little girl looked young in age, yet he had not expected her to be even harder to deal with than old foxes like Brook and Renis.

No wonder the Purple Star Dynasty sent her as their diplomatic representative.

It seemed that dealing with her without bleeding a little would not work.

"Alright, Princess Kaia’s words are quite reasonable." Alex smiled faintly, taking out a scroll from his storage ring as well.

"In order to express my Hale family’s sincerity, I naturally cannot stick to convention. Since that is the case, please take this Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique back with you, Princess Kaia, and hand it over to your esteemed father, the Purple Star Monarch."

"Tell him that I, and my Hale family, are both very willing to ally with him."

Seeing Alex finally give in, a smile appeared on Kaia Star’s face. They exchanged the scrolls in their respective hands, both nodding in satisfaction.

"Good. Saint Lord Alex is highly righteous, this junior admires and is grateful." Kaia Star cupped her fists and smiled faintly.

"From now on, our two families can definitely advance hand-in-hand, to become the strongest in the world!"

After sending Kaia Star away, Alex could not wait to flip through the scroll. Upon seeing the contents within, his eyes instantly radiated with brilliant light.

"My heavens, it really is a priceless treasure!"

[Immovable Lord Technique: Created by the Immovable Bodhisattva, one of the Four Kings of the Buddhist Sect. Can cultivate the physical body to become a Supreme, rendering it as solid as a boulder.]

[Upon cultivating to great completion, one can use stillness to respond to myriad changes, use stillness to evade the world, remain indifferent to the passage of time, and extend one’s lifespan.]

Originally, Alex thought this Immovable Lord Technique at most added another layer of defensive guarantee. He had not expected it actually possessed another insanely overpowered ability.

Longevity and immortality.

Due to the laws of the Heavenly Dao, any living being, even a Saint, would eventually face a moment when their lifespan was exhausted.

Whether a hundred thousand years or a million years, true eternal life was ultimately impossible.

However, this Immovable Lord Technique could rely on external power to help a person achieve the realm of eternal life.

When one’s lifespan was about to be exhausted, they only needed to enter the Immovable state to evade the laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Let alone using the Rakshasa Soul-Extinguishing Technique to exchange for it. Just based on this life-extending effect, even trading the Six Paths Wheel of Destruction Technique would be worth it. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

For a time, Alex was completely immersed in this powerful cultivation method. This resulted in him turning a deaf ear and completely ignoring Julian, no matter how loudly he yelled through the communication jade slip.

Outside the venue, dozens of Saint Lords from major families and Sect Masters from major sects had formed a long line, not knowing whether they should be led into the venue or taken for a private audience.

Julian pressed the jade slip against his ear, yet not the slightest echo came back, making his face fill with anxiety.

"Saint Lord, oh Saint Lord, just what exactly is your esteemed self doing? Leaving me here to shoulder this alone, is that not putting a bit too much trust in me?!"

Five minutes later, Cedric pushed the doors open and walked into the cave dwelling.

"Saint Lord!" Seeing Alex sitting there, safe and sound while reading a scroll, he finally let out a sigh of relief.

"As long as you are alright."

Alex asked, puzzled. "Why would anything be wrong with me?"

"I just passed by outside the venue. Julian said you suddenly went silent, and he could not contact you no matter what." Cedric said helplessly.

"I thought you had encountered some accident, so I hurried over. Good, since you are fine, I will go back to being busy."

"Right, several dozen guests have gathered on Julian’s side, waiting for you to decide whether to see them."

Alex frowned, asking somewhat irritably. "How many guests are still outside?"

"About a hundred and thirty." Cedric answered.

"Among them, about fifty have a relatively good relationship with our Hale family and prepared generous congratulatory gifts, requiring the Saint Lord to receive them privately."

"Fifty?! Which lifetime would I finish seeing all of them in?!" After obtaining the Immovable Lord Technique, Alex had zero interest in the remaining guests’ gifts.

He pondered briefly and smiled mysteriously. "Cedric, come, come, come, sit here for a while."

"Ah?" Cedric froze slightly, hurriedly shaking his head.

"Saint Lord, I still have matters to attend to, I had better not sit..."

"If I tell you to sit, then sit!" Alex pressed down on Cedric’s shoulders, forcefully pushing him into the grand armchair he had just been sitting in.

Then he said with a grin. "Cedric, you can help me receive these remaining guests. Of course, whether to see them or not is entirely up to you, the First Elder, to decide."

"I am truly feeling stifled from staying in here. I need to go out and get some fresh air."

"...Ah?!" Cedric instantly widened his eyes.

"Saint Lord, how can we do this? If you, the Saint Lord, are not present, then it naturally falls upon me, the First Elder, to receive guests."

"But since you are right here right now, how could this subordinate dare to overstep?"

"You old fellow, why are you so fussy?" Alex said grumpily. "Anyway, it is not the first or second time you have represented me to receive guests."
