Pay to Cultivate Immortality? My Sect is Completely Free - Chapter 61

Chapter 61: The Immortal Alliance Dominates the World

“He actually comes from… the legendary Heavenly Palace!”

Upon hearing Fatty’s words, many people were left speechless.

Although they didn’t know exactly how powerful the Heavenly Palace was, just thinking about how the Lingxiao Sect, ranked among the top 500, was already extraordinarily strong, made them wonder how formidable the top-ranked Heavenly Palace must be.

“I’ve heard that the Great Hall of the Lingxiao Sect is made of gold; surely the Heavenly Palace has golden floors too, right?”

“Hey, maybe even their toilets are made of gold!”

“Wow, do the disciples of the Heavenly Palace use golden hoes for farming?”

Some bolder disciples whispered among themselves.

In the Heavenly Dao Sect, Nameless, who had just joined and was holding a broom while sweeping the floor, slightly raised his gaze upon hearing this.

The Heavenly Palace…

He tightened his grip, causing tiny cracks to appear on the brand-new broom handle.

Among everyone present, only Su Bai remained unfazed: “The Heavenly Palace? Is it strong?”

“Hahahahaha!” Gao Kepan laughed maniacally, as if he had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

“The Immortal Alliance intimidates the world, compelling submission from all directions, with none daring to defy it!”

“And the Heavenly Palace is at the top of the Immortal Alliance, the supreme overlord of the world. Do you think the Heavenly Palace is strong?”

“Hahaha, it’s truly laughable beyond belief!”

Gao Kepan laughed wildly, his expression filled with endless mockery and disdain.

“Oh, is that so?”

Su Bai let out a slight smile, slowly responding, “Then may I ask what brings you here?”

“Hmph! Under the heavens, any force at the Nascent Soul Level must join the Immortal Alliance; otherwise, they will all be hunted down by the Immortal Alliance!” Gao Kepan said coldly, leaving no room for politeness.

“Then I’d like to know, what are the requirements for joining the Immortal Alliance?” Su Bai asked with a half-smile.

“Requirements?”

Upon hearing Su Bai’s words, Gao Kepan scoffed and arrogantly replied, “For forces at the Nascent Soul Level, you only need to pay fifty percent of your annual income, along with a joining fee of one hundred million taels of silver, ten million taels of gold, ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones.”

“Once the fees are paid, your sect can enjoy the protection of the Immortal Alliance. If the fees are not paid, hehe…”

At this point, Gao Kepan revealed a gloomy smirk: “Then you can only blame your bad luck for provoking the Immortal Alliance, and your sect will be doomed!”

Hearing this, Su Bai couldn’t help but laugh.

In addition to the fixed fifty percent cut, there was also an extra requirement of one hundred million taels of silver, ten million taels of gold, ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, and one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones!

Take the Lingxiao Sect, which had two Nascent Soul Level forces; how much could they earn in a year?

With one hundred thousand disciples, each disciple earning thirty taels of silver a month, that would total thirty-six million taels of silver a year.

Of course, the Lingxiao Sect’s income wouldn’t stop there.

The disciples needed to purchase Immortal Techniques, weapons, pills, and other necessities, which would cost a lot more than the base silver they earned monthly!

Additionally, there were sect missions such as escorting, planting Spirit Grass, and the offerings submitted annually by their vassal forces.

The Lingxiao Sect could earn several hundred million taels of silver in a year.

The Lingxiao Sect had a Lower Grade Spirit Vein, which produced only about twenty to thirty thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones annually, while one hundred Intermediate Grade Spirit Stones were equivalent to ten thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones.

In other words, considering the scale of the Lingxiao Sect, the amount to be paid exceeds fifty percent, nearly reaching seventy or eighty percent! This is still for a powerful sect within the Immortal Alliance Top 500; what would happen if it were an ordinary sect with just a single Nascent Soul Level force? They simply couldn’t bear it!

Su Bai chuckled softly and said, “Not long ago, an Elder of the Immortal Alliance approached me.” At these words, Gao Kepan’s expression changed slightly, growing somewhat unnatural.

“That Elder of the Immortal Alliance told me that for forces at the Nascent Soul Level, it seems they only have to contribute forty percent annually, without any additional contributions.”

“I’d like to know, where did the extra go?”

“You… no, no, no, you lack the courage for that. So, it must have gone into the pocket of that Venerable Yang behind you, right?” Su Bai said meaningfully.

Upon hearing this, a hint of panic flashed in Gao Kepan’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Utter nonsense! Forty percent? The rule is as it is! Will your Heavenly Dao Sect pay up or not?” After saying this, Gao Kepan’s gaze became even colder.

“Sorry, our Heavenly Dao Sect will not pay.” Su Bai shook his head, calmly uttering a few words.

A glimmer of rage crossed Gao Kepan’s brow: “You little ant, daring to defy the wishes of the Immortal Alliance!”

Boom!

In an instant, the entire world seemed to shift, and the void trembled violently. The land within a hundred miles shook, and a powerful aura emanated from Gao Kepan and the Fire Qilin beneath him.

That Fire Qilin was actually a Nascent Soul Level great demon!

Nascent Soul, how powerful it is! A cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage can shatter mountains and rivers with a thought, change the course of rivers with a snap of their fingers, and destroy a city with a mere gesture without difficulty!

This left everyone astounded; there were only five Nascent Soul experts throughout the entire Empire! However, the incredibly powerful super demon comparable to the five peak figures of the Empire was merely a mount for a core disciple of the Heavenly Palace!

Does that mean the Heavenly Palace doesn’t even need Elders? A few core disciples alone could level an entire Empire?

Gao Kepan stood atop the Fire Qilin, his gaze cold and saturated with murderous intent.

“The Immortal Alliance dominates the world; relying on powerful allies is the only way forward. Otherwise, no matter how vast this world is, there will be no place for you to hide. Even if you are at the Nascent Soul stage, you won’t escape the grasp of the Immortal Alliance!”

“I advise you to recognize the situation; otherwise, this area within a hundred miles will be left barren because of you.”

His complexion was chillingly cold, and his gaze was filled with arrogance simply because he was a disciple of the Heavenly Palace!

However, upon hearing this, Su Bai merely smiled lightly.

“Fatty, as a core disciple of the Heavenly Palace, you must have quite a few treasures on you, right?”

Su Bai’s gaze fell upon Gao Kepan’s hands. To his surprise, every finger on both hands was adorned with a storage ring.

Tsk tsk tsk, ten storage rings!

“What did you call me?”

Gao Kepan was initially taken aback, then he erupted in rage, his eyes blazing with fury: “I loathe it when anyone calls me ‘Fatty’ in front of me, especially when ‘dead’ is added before it!”

“Today, your Heavenly Dao Sect is doomed; I declare that no one can change this!”

After saying this, Gao Kepan unleashed an overwhelming aura.

In an instant, it swept across the entire scene!

This was a pressure so immense that it was suffocating!

“Fire Qilin, annihilate all living beings within a hundred miles!”

With a single command from Gao Kepan, the Fire Qilin let out a roar towards the sky as it charged forward, its flames becoming even more scorching, glaring like the sun.

“Roar!”

Opening its mouth, it unleashed a blood-red pillar of fire that soared into the sky, instantly crossing the heavens and striking towards Su Bai.
