Wizard: I Can Refine Everything-Chapter 522 - 67 Anti-Demon Alliance

The leaders of the Five Great Sacred Sects arrived, and naturally, Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect did not remain unresponsive.

The bell rang once again from within Heavenly Mechanism City, and soon, an old Beastman with completely white hair appeared in the sky, revealing a majestic aura that soared to the heavens.

In terms of momentum, he was in no way inferior to the leaders of the Five Great Sacred Sects.

Witnessing this scene, Richard’s brow furrowed slightly.

"No wonder the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect could end its internal strife, as it turns out they have produced another Martial Saint."

A Martial Saint is a Level 6 Creature, while a Great Grandmaster is a Level 5 Creature. Despite the difference of just one level, the gap in strength between them was vast, as one was in the heavens and the other on earth.

"The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect welcomes the Great Sun Saint Sect, Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect, Netherworld Saint Sect, Dingtian Sacred Sect, and Myriad Spirit Saint Sect to participate in the Anti-Demon Conference."

Upon finishing, the old Beastman bowed respectfully.

Seeing this, the leaders of the Five Sacred Sects did not pick a quarrel. They all dispelled their auras and returned the bow with a clenched fist greeting.

After dissipating their auras, the Sect Master of Great Sun Saint Sect arrived on a carriage drawn by eight horses. The Sect Master of Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect was surrounded by a flock of birds. The palace of the Netherworld Saint Sect’s Sect Master vanished, replaced by a palanquin, and the hundred ghosts that pulled the carriage transformed into eight sinister Ghost Kings bearing the palanquin. The Dingtian Sacred Sect’s Sect Master shrank in size, and with him, the giant bronze tripod also became smaller, whereas the Sect Master of Myriad Spirit Saint Sect remained unchanged, merely restraining the aura of the five-headed Giant Dragons beneath him.

As the five entered Heavenly Mechanism City, the old Beastman also dispelled his aura. With a casual wave of his hand, a dull sound resonated from within the city.

The palace designated for the Sect Masters to rest began to shift. Many Grandmasters ascended to the sky, and Richard, observing the changing city below his feet, immediately understood what Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect was doing.

"Qi Men Array! The Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect is treating these palaces like Array Flags!"

No wonder he hadn’t felt the presence of a Qi Men Array in this city. He had thought it was a sincere gesture from the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect, but it turned out it simply hadn’t been deployed yet.

In a moment, the transformation of the Qi Men Array was complete, with the Array itself becoming its own world. Then, a Space Rift tore open in the Void, and a vast stone platform flew out from within the rift.

"The respective Sect Masters are invited to ascend the platform," said the old Beastman.

With that, the old Beastman flew onto the platform. The other five Sect Masters did not hesitate and likewise landed on the platform. Seeing that the Sect Masters had all mounted the platform, the surrounding Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters also followed suit.

More than two hundred red desks had been arranged atop the stone platform, corresponding exactly to the remaining Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters.

As the last Grandmaster settled in, the old Beastman from the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect dispensed with any pleasantries, getting straight to the point by taking out the Blood Book written on coarse cloth.

"I have written the reason for this conference in the invitation, so I will spare the fuss. This is a Blood Book hastily left by the former Sect Master of our sect upon his death. Everyone present is no layman and should be able to discern the authenticity of this Blood Book."

The old Beastman unfolded the Blood Book, at the center of which were four large characters—Heavenly Demon Descent.

Judging by the writing, these four characters were written in a hurry, as if the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect had seen some great horror.

The Blood Book hovered in the center of the stone platform, and although the many Grandmasters and Great Grandmasters did not know the full story, they could be sure of one thing—the blood used in this Blood Book indeed belonged to a Martial Saint.

The Sect Master of Great Sun Saint Sect gazed upon the Blood Book and sighed faintly, "Wen Tian, oh, Wen Tian, what on earth did you see to scare you so?

"Could it be that another Demon Lord of great evil has arisen out of the primordial chaos?"

The words of the Sect Master of Great Sun Saint Sect seemed like casual lamentation, but everyone present was shrewd, and from his words, they could already tell that the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect had reached an agreement with the Great Sun Saint Sect.

However, even if the acting of the sects was poor, the only acceptable response was to applaud.

"Heh, if something could scare old Wen Tian like that, it might really be possible."

From another side, a strange voice came from the Netherworld Saint Sect Sect Master’s palanquin, sounding as if multiple voices were overlaid on one another.

"Why do I feel that Wen Tian has grown senile?" the Sect Master of Dingtian Sacred Sect said in his simple-minded voice, "Wen Tian has been rambling on about some great terror for more than a thousand years now, always talking about a great terror, a great terror.

He couldn’t possibly have seen that Heavenly Demon more than one thousand years ago, right?"

"Is this the only piece of evidence you have?" The Sect Master of Myriad Spirit Saint Sect, who had arrived with the Sect Master of Dingtian, asked with a frown, "Wen Tian being senile isn’t new, and you dare to convene this Anti-Demon Conference just on the basis of a single Blood Book?"

Upon this remark, the Grandmasters present instantly perked up.

The main event of the conference had begun.

It appeared that the Great Sun Saint Sect and the Netherworld Saint Sect had likely already struck a deal with the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect, while the Dingtian Sacred Sect and Myriad Spirit Saint Sect probably had not. As for the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect... the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect didn’t need to make any agreements; as long as the Heavenly Demon Descent occurred, the Heavenly Punishment Martial Artists would take action en masse, sweeping away the multitude of demons.

In past years, the Demon Sect’s Pope, with the power of the Demon Lord, had ascended to the realm of Martial Saint, threatening to unleash a demonic catastrophe across the Wilderness Land. The Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect mobilized in full force and, at the cost of losing most of their disciples, they executed the Demon Sect’s Pope and many Demon Sect Grandmasters.

Meanwhile, the other Five Great Sacred Sects were still bickering amongst themselves.

Among the Six Great Saint Sects, only the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect truly deserved the title of a Holy Sect.

"There’s no need to rush, gentlemen. Our sect didn’t gather everyone just for a monkey show," the old Beastman from Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect said calmly, "Our Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect has been graciously called by many Martial Artists from the Wilderness Land to possess divine foresight, never wrong in our predictions.

"Although that may be somewhat of an exaggeration, when it comes to the skill of Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, I believe our sect is unmatched by your sects."

The Sect Masters of Dingtian and Myriad Spirit did not refute, acknowledging that the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect, with its foundational skill in Heavenly Mechanism Propagation, held an upper hand in such matters. Both Sect Masters’ own sects, though also Holy Sects, had their own preferences.

Dingtian Sacred Sect, as one of the two on the Evil Path, specialized in Essence Dao, while the Myriad Spirit Saint Sect, though one of the three on the righteous path, also based their cultivation of Myriad Spirit Mending Heaven Technique on Essence Dao as the core.

In terms of Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, neither sect could hold a candle to the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect.

"If neither of you rebut, then I shall take it that you both agree," the old Beastman continued, "As we all know, the Heavenly Mechanism is fickle and even a Martial Saint dare not claim their divinations are sure to be true.

But ever since the Sect Master of our Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect wrote the Blood Book, all our disciples, including many peak masters and I, the Sect Master, have faced chaos in our divinations of the Heavenly Mechanism.

Even attempting to divine the simplest of fortunes can only be perceived within seven days. Anything beyond seven days is clouded in chaos.

Some of you present may also be skilled in the art of Heavenly Mechanism Calculation. Feel free to try and see if you can discern fortunes beyond seven days."

Upon hearing this, many of the Grandmasters present immediately began their Heavenly Mechanism Calculations. But whether they used copper coin divination, divination with Divination Grass, or even the turtle shells of divine turtles, none could see the fortunes beyond seven days.

It was as if an invisible barrier was obscuring their vision.

Although the Dingtian and Myriad Spirit sects were not adept at Heavenly Mechanism Calculations, the two Sect Masters were well-versed in various arts and could outperform an average peak master in the art of Heavenly Mechanism Calculation, although they did not match up to the old Beastman of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect.

But they, too, could not see beyond seven days.

The Sect Master of the Myriad Spirit Saint Sect furrowed his brows and attempted to channel the power of the Great Dao, also known as the Miracle Power used in the Wizard Curse, to break through this barrier. But as soon as he began to harness it, he sensed a gaze upon him.

Buzz!

A humming sound arose from the Void. The Sect Master of the Myriad Spirit Saint Sect closed his eyes tightly, but still could not prevent two streams of blood tears from flowing down his cheeks.

Seeing this, the Grandmasters who were adept at Heavenly Mechanism Calculation immediately discarded the thought of breaking through the barrier.

Joking aside, even a Martial Saint couldn’t break through, so these small fries shouldn’t even try.

Before long, the Sect Master of the Myriad Spirit Saint Sect opened his eyes, his gaze fixed on the old Beastman of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect.

"Who is that?"

The old Beastman solemnly spoke, "Esteemed predecessor from Myriad Spirit, that is the Heavenly Demon. The Heavenly Demon has sealed off the destinies of the entire Wilderness Land including the surrounding Grotto Heavens. If we do not form an alliance, it would be quite easy for this Heavenly Demon to annihilate us."

The Sect Master of the Dingtian Sacred Sect looked at his old friend, who took a deep breath and wiped the two streaks of blood from his face.

"Myriad Spirit Saint Sect agrees to the alliance."

"Dingtian Sacred Sect agrees as well."

Seeing that these two sects had agreed, a slight smile of relief appeared on the face of the old Beastman of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect. The hardest nut to crack had been dealt with, as for the rest...

"Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect also agrees."

A deep voice sounded from the midst of the bird flock, causing everyone who heard it to turn in shock towards the Sect Master of Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect.

Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect had agreed?

The old Beastman had not expected such a turn of events; he had planned to seek alliance with the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect after the Heavenly Demon Descent. But now, the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect took the initiative to join the alliance.

Being the most mysterious of the Six Great Saint Sects, the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect usually kept out of alliance matters and remained uninvolved.

But today, they had taken the initiative to join.

This was indeed a rare occurrence.

Yet, without doubt, it was a favorable one.

The old Beastman bowed to the master of the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect, "Welcome to the alliance."

Bang!

Before the Beastman’s words had even finished, an object flew out from the birds. When it landed, Richard’s pupils contracted sharply.

What had flown out was the corpse of a Black Wizard of the Three Rings.

"This is what you call the Heavenly Demon," the voice of the Sect Master of Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect carried no emotion, "Based on my estimates, these creatures might have infiltrated our ranks a decade ago, or perhaps even earlier.

I cannot be sure if there are any spies sent by these beings called Wizards among us during this conference.

But no matter, the alliance is formed, and any further interference from them is nothing but the antics of a clown."

The sight of the wizard and the other Grandmasters present, including sect masters of the other Five Great Sacred Sects, all felt a jolt of shock.

The Heavenly Demon had already infiltrated among them.

The Sect Master of Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect paid no attention to the commotion of the Grandmasters, continuing to say, "These creatures cultivate the Evil Path, with most of them specializing in Essence Dao and a few in Spiritual Dual Cultivation.

They are extremely elite. I have searched within my sect for ten years, and all I found were corpses, without even one intact soul.

Compared to them, the scum of the Demon Sect are mere chickens and dogs."

With that said, the Sect Master of Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect looked towards the old Beastman of the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Sect.

"To form an alliance, naturally we need an Alliance Hierarch and a charter. But before we discuss these matters, let us first give this alliance a name, shall we?"

The old Beastman replied, "Indeed. Does the predecessor have any suggestion?"

After pondering for a moment, the Sect Master of the Heavenly Punishment Saint Sect indifferently said, "I am not good at naming, but since the conference is called the Anti-Demon Conference, why not call the alliance the Anti-Demon Alliance?"
