Meanwhile, other strong practitioners were about to arrive at the border, and Wang Boan needed to immediately rectify military discipline, uniting the Border Army into a single force and preparing for action.

“Next, we just wait for the strong practitioners from various Camps to arrive, and then we can make a move together!” Gu Ji inquired.

Although the Great Ming Divine Dynasty needed merits and achievements, they could not act rashly. They had to wait for the arrival of strong practitioners from all over Heaven and Earth, especially those representing the Immortal Sects.

No matter how many came, it at least represented the human race’s collective cooperation, an attitude that could not be violated.

In the days to come, Qi Yuanjing and Yu Xunya started to organize military discipline, further strengthening the Border Army’s discipline and preparing for the campaign.

As for Gu Ji, he began to prepare the area within the border lands as a welcoming space for the arrival of many Forces.

The borderlands became increasingly crowded with strong beings, including Independent Practitioners, reclusive Cultivators, and ancient beings from Great Powers, many of whom had not been seen in the world for a long time, leading others to believe they had Fallen.

Longevity is elusive. Many strong practitioners, having lost hope in Longevity, became disillusioned and went into hiding, indifferent to worldly affairs.

However, with the occurrence of the Enthroning Gods and the emergence of a Divine Position for Longevity, these once-despondent individuals were filled with newfound hope, willing to make one last effort.

Inside the Wuxiang Divine Palace, a renowned palace among the world’s strong beings, stood the sanctuary of the No Phase True Monarch, an incredibly rare Magical Weapon.

The No Phase True Monarch had roamed Heaven and Earth for countless years. In addition to his countless Avatars, the existence of the Wuxiang Divine Palace allowed him to evade the pursuit of Supreme Strong beings in the past.

One could say that, for thousands of years, he had only suffered a loss at the hands of True Monarch Shenxiao Pei Xuanjing. Otherwise, he had always enjoyed a life of success and pleasure.

Regrettably, even though he had ascended to the Strongest Realm before the Heaven and Earth Ascension, the emergence of True Immortals no longer allowed the No Phase True Monarch the same ease, because he knew all of his hidden strengths were useless and exposed before True Immortals.

Over the years, the No Phase True Monarch had constantly sought a method to ascend to True Immortal, not only to earn the right to contend with True Immortals but also because he yearned for Longevity himself.

The Force he created was not for legacy, but to support his own carefree existence; he did not care about others, striving only for an unconstrained life, to revel in the pleasures of the mortal world.

Now, since True Immortals could enjoy undying Longevity without any constraints, this was undoubtedly the greatest pursuit for the No Phase True Monarch.

Inside the Wuxiang Divine Palace, the No Phase True Monarch stood at the railing, gazing into the sky. His figure seemed as ethereal as drifting white clouds, formless and elusive, beyond comprehension.

“The Immortal Path is arduous, Longevity hard to find. Perhaps the Divine Position of the Gods Sealing List is an opportunity for this true monarch!” the No Phase True Monarch thought to himself.

He had pursued Longevity for hundreds of years, but, regrettably, without any results.

After all, he was but a solitary individual, whose accumulation of thousands of years allowed him the fortune to step into the Strongest Realm before the Heaven and Earth Ascension. Yet, even with subsequent gains, the realm of True Immortals was still far beyond reach, without the slightest possibility.

“The Gods Sealing List, with its three hundred and sixty-five true god positions, and the Heavenly Court’s eight divisions—the Divine Position responsible for rain and clouds, is it not tailor-made for this true monarch?” A glint of Divine Light flashed in the eyes of the No Phase True Monarch.

The Wind is formless, clouds are without shape, and the No Phase True Monarch is essentially the cloud itself, even though people always assume that possessing countless Avatars is what defines formlessness.

Among these three hundred and sixty-five Divine Positions, there are not many top positions, and there’s competition from Immortal Sect practitioners and supreme Independent Practitioners. Even with the No Phase True Monarch’s power, he is far from the top among the Supreme Strong beings of the world.

Therefore, he did not entertain any hope for those top Divine Positions but instead focused on the god responsible for rain and clouds—a true god position, one of the superior Divine Positions. If he could obtain this Divine Position, it would undoubtedly be fantastic news for him.

“So be it. Once you’ve made your decision, there’s no reason to hesitate,” No Phase True Monarch said, decisive in nature. Having considered the matter, he made up his mind.

However, he still hadn’t fully committed to one crucial decision: which side to take in the ensuing War of Sealing Gods.

Indeed, the War of Sealing Gods was a racial struggle between the human race and the Demon Race, but even within the human race, there were countless camps. The most evident distinction was the forces under the fourteen True Immortals; these were different camps.

The disciples under their command and the people surrounding them also formed a collective group and camp.

Similarly, the Independent Practitioners also formed alliances with one another, belonging to one faction.

These numerous factions and groups made up the human race’s camp, and although they united against the Demon Race in solidarity for the human race…

…when it came to competing for merits and accomplishments, these factions and groups would begin to exert their force, vying for interests.

No Phase True Monarch needed to decide which camp to join to ensure his presence was felt and his interests remained intact.

“Perhaps, allying with the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life, True Monarch Shenxiao, would be a wise choice if I were to choose a True Immortal,” No Phase True Monarch contemplated in his heart.

Like with the Da Jiang Ancient Country, Pei Xuanjing had risen to power not long ago, with fewer powerhouses under his command compared to other True Immortals, and his power was formidable. Joining him would undoubtedly be an excellent choice.

Not just No Phase True Monarch but also the Lord of Da Jiang, as well as the Independent Practitioners in the world, had noticed this. However, not every powerhouse had the opportunity to associate with a True Immortal.

No Phase True Monarch was different; he had a past with Pei Xuanjing, and although he had been at a disadvantage, the saying “no fighting, no acquaintance” applied. Over the years, he had some interaction with the True Immortal.

As of today, even aligning with the force of the Shenxiao Sect wouldn’t seem presumptuous or sudden. He could indeed make the connection.

Most importantly, the numerous Divine Positions in the Gods Sealing List are divided into the eight departments of the Heavenly Court. According to this division, the Divine Position of controlling rain and clouds, which he pursued, in fact, belongs to the Six Imperials under the jurisdiction of the Emperor of the South Pole Eternal Life.

Thus, leaning towards True Monarch Shenxiao now appeared to be the most appropriate choice; otherwise, relying on another True Immortal for a Divine Position might not bode well for the future.

“The worst thing in life is to be indecisive and vacillating,” thought No Phase True Monarch, who, upon forming an idea, acted promptly.

Shortly thereafter, he took his Wuxiang Divine Palace and headed for the human race’s border defense, while also sending a message to Shenxiao Mountain, the intent to ingratiate himself evident in his words.

With No Phase True Monarch’s force, he had every right to act high and mighty, to be more implicit in his words. But given the situation, with everyone eager to move up and with his future, life, and death at stake, he couldn’t afford to be too proud.

And it wasn’t just No Phase True Monarch; all powerhouses, all Independent Practitioners between Heaven and Earth shared this sentiment. For the possibility of longevity, they shed their pride and drew closer to the True Immortals.

Especially those skilled in social maneuvering, who were actively networking amongst various parties, leveraging their abilities to gather advantages for themselves.

“No Phase True Monarch, I never expected even someone like him to be tempted,” remarked Pang Hong on Shenxiao Mountain, as he perused the many missives and invitation cards brought by his disciples and came across a conspicuous name: No Phase True Monarch, a powerhouse renowned in the world.

Though No Phase True Monarch himself modestly claimed he wasn’t at the very top amongst the strongest powerhouses, he was a foremost figure among them.

But now, for the sake of a Divine Position, even such a powerhouse would send a message with such humble terms. This undoubtedly made Pang Hong realize how tempting longevity was to the many cultivators.
