The White Stork sect is unmatched in the Bluesky Region in terms of beautiful scenery. Its environment is green, with flowing rivers, healthy trees, flying stork birds, and floating mountains with stunning villas and waterfalls on them.

If this place were on Earth, it would be the best tourist attraction in the world, but in this world of immortal cultivators, the Bluesky Region is small and unappealing compared to other formidable places.

The streets of the White Stork sect are lively today since the sect welcomed visitors from the Heavenly Star Pavilion and Immortal Gathering sect, the other two righteous sects in the Bluesky Region.

Bluesky Region is governed by five sects, three of which are righteous and the other two that are evil. This region has seen peace for many years because the power balance of the sects was evenly matched, but now that the Black Ancient Cult's ancestor is a Soul Perfection stage expert, the Black Ancient Cult is a threat of becoming the sole hegemon of the Bluesky Region.

In the White Stork sect hall, roughly ten members are sitting with grim faces. Four of them are from the Heavenly Star Pavilion, while three are from the Immortal Gathering sect. The three remaining people are Sect Master Oseka and the White Stork sect's two supreme elders.

The Heavenly Star Pavilion and Immortal Gathering Sect are both led by their sect masters, who are accompanied by the respective sect's supreme elders.

"We received your report on all that happened, but you did not follow up to clarify where the cow divine beast is currently located. The expert who captured it was most likely dead from a strike by that enigmatic woman you mentioned. Are you keeping the divine beast's whereabouts from us on purpose?" The Pavillion Master of the Heavenly Star Pavilion inquired with suspicion.

"Nonsense! I explicitly stated that the severely injured old man utilized a teleportation scroll to escape with the divine beast. How can my White Stork sect know where the old man had teleported? Unless you accuse us of providing an untrustworthy and fabricated report, how could we know where the cow divine beast is in this vast world?" Oseka, sect master of the White Stork sect, refuted with dissatisfaction.

"We have no way to prove the matter; why don't we get to the matter we came here for? The Black Ancient Cult has become a thorn for the rest of us. Why are we not discussing this issue first?" Immortal Gathering sect master spoke while still observing Sect Master Oseka to witness his reactions.

Standing up from his chair and walking around, Sect Master Oseka said effectively, "Alliance! The righteous sects alliance. I propose that our three sects establish a temporary alliance to confront the Black Ancient Cult. Otherwise, our righteous sects will face the threat of extermination. A single Soul Perfection level expert is capable of eliminating either of our three righteous factions on his own, but together, that's a different matter."

All in the hall remained quiet to think about the issue.

Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.

A mere sect in this kind of small region can indeed be eliminated by a single Soul Perfection expert. A person in the Soul Perfection stage has fourteen times of strength, and their elemental domain is unfathomable. These kinds of experts are strong enough to change the weather by their own will, and they can summon elemental spirits to team up with in combat.

Such an expert might swiftly eliminate the White Stork sect. Even though the White Stork sect's first ancestor is in the final stage of Soul Germination, he is helpless against the Soul Perfection expert.

Even though the Soul Germination stage happens before the Soul Perfection stage, the two stages are not comparable in terms of strength and abilities.

"Who will lead this alliance?" One supreme elder of the Heavenly Star Pavilion inquired while breaking the silence.

"This is only a temporary alliance until the Black Ancient Cult is dealt with. There is no need for a leader. The three sect masters will share the responsibility." Sect Master Oseka explained as he got annoyed.

"Sect... sect master! The envoy from Stellenbosch seeks the audience with you." The White Stork sect elder came in rushing and announced the news.

"S-stellenbosch?!" Everyone in the room bellowed with shock.

"Quick! Let the guest in!" Sect Master Oseka spoke hastily.

Adjacent to the Bluesky Region is the place known as Savanna District. Stellenbosch is a city that dominates the entire Savanna District, and it is governed by a powerful family known as the Mazona.

Everybody in the western part of the Bushbuck continent knows about Stellenbosch City and the Mazona family. This prestigious family rarely communicates with small regions like the Bluesky Region.

Entering the door, the youthful figure emitting the aura of the final stage of Soul Germination entered, walking in an overbearing manner.

'This person is young, yet his strength exceeds mine and is already comparable to the first ancestor of my White Stork Sect. As expected of the Stelenbosch envoy.' Sect Master Oseka contemplated nervously.

Everyone, including sect masters, stood from their chairs and cupped their fists as they genuinely greeted the envoy with respect.

"I have come to deliver good news from the governor of Stellenbosch City. The Lord Governor proposes the marriage between Fairy Maki and his lastborn, Bobo Mazona. The governor will also demonstrate his grace by destroying the Black Ancient Cult to relieve the Bluesky Region from these evil pests. What is your response, sect master?" The envoy asked with a smile, anticipating the White Stork sect master to respond swiftly.

Some people in the room became excited, but Sect Master Oseka and the few had grim faces from hearing the news.

Who is Fairy Maki? She is a beauty ranked 32nd on the fairy ranking list. Honestly, someone with her beauty should be ranked in the top 20 of the beauties in the Bushbuck continent. Though beauty is the first priority when ranking, the fairy ranking list doesn't look at beauty alone; also strength and reputation are included. Living in the Bluesky Regions adds to her downsides in the fairy ranking list.

Fairy Maki is a genius of the White Stork sect, yet she pales in comparison to geniuses from other regions. However, she is not only the pride of the White Stock sect but the pride of the entire Bluesky Region.

"Why are you hesitant?" The envoy asked, his brow furrowed.

'Although this offer is beneficial in many ways, I am sceptical about other aspects. Marrying the sect member into the Mazona family may give the sect a strong backer, and the Black Ancient Cult gets eliminated as well, but...'

"Envoy, this is not a subject that can be decided without careful consideration. First and foremost, Young Lady Maki is the next candidate for sect master; secondly, I cannot agree on this matter without consulting the first ancestor and the young lady herself." Sect Master Oseka said politely.

"Hmm? Aren't you the sect master? Do you still require other people's approval to act? This is Lord Gorvener's request; you don't need to keep him waiting."
