Chapter 210: Chapter 209: The Three Giants of Seek Dao Sect (Thanks to the alliance leader tipped by the book friend Rampage Boss)_1

The Sect Master had assumed that their downfall was irreversible, that they were doomed to live a mediocre life within the Seek Dao Sect. Unexpectedly, in Vice Sect Leader Liu, he found new hope!

It seems the Seek Dao Sect is not as united as he thought. There are open conflicts and hidden rivalries within. And what are they, the Demon Path, best at, if not sowing discord?

“Speak. How many factions are there within the Seek Dao Sect?” The Sect Master asked in a hurry.

Master Liu opened a barrier and set up several Array Methods capable of preventing sound leakage and spying via Spiritual Sense.

Seeing Vice Sect Leader Liu’s thorough preparations, the Sect Master felt a bit embarrassed. In his haste, he had neglected to take measures to prevent information leakage.

The five Elders of the Eternity Sect hesitated, unsure of whether or not they should continue to listen. This seemed like a top-secret meeting that people of their level shouldn’t eavesdrop on.

The Sect Master gestured them over. They were the remaining strength of the Eternity Sect, thus rightfully entitled to the discussion.

Seeing everyone has taken their seats, Master Liu lowered his voice and said, “Currently, there are three factions we can contact. These three factions are headed by the three biggest powers within the Seek Dao Sect, with all the disciples unable to evade their control. Each of these three powers has several Unification Stage figures in command, including some major figures at the late stage of Unification!”

The Sect Master nodded. It was not surprising that the three major powers within the Seek Dao Sect had late-stage Unification figures. “Are there any Transcendence Tribulation Stage powers?”

Master Liu shook his head: “Not yet discovered. Such old monsters seldom reveal their stance. They are likely not part of the three major powers!”

Vice Sect Leader Jin sighed in relief: “Good, no Transcendence Tribulation Stage. With our means, maneuvering among the three big powers isn’t difficult. What’s their relationship? Is there room for manoeuvre?”

Master Liu agreed with Vice Sect Leader Jin’s idea. The threat from the Transcendence Tribulation Stage was too great. In the face of absolute strength, any scheme was useless. He continued, “Don’t be fooled by my daily roasting on the street. I always pay attention to the conversation among the Seek Dao Sect’s disciples. I can deduce the relationship among the three major powers from complicated information.”

Master Liu placed three bowls on the table to represent the three major powers.

“The three major powers are the century-old Hundred Fragrance Building, the stir-fried dishes mainstay Street Food Union, and the diversified Hot Pot Alliance.”

“The Hundred Fragrance Building has been on the commercial street for the longest time. As far as I know, some disciples have been eating there since they joined the sect. They still enjoy their food after reaching the Unification Stage. Not only is the taste excellent, but it also holds sentimental value for them. It’s the most influential of the three major powers!”

Master Liu flipped a large bowl upside down to represent the Hundred Fragrance Building.

“The Street Food Union is not just one shop; it’s a collection of several stores serving primarily stir-fry, all of them different in flavor, attracting disciples from all corners of Seek Dao Sect. It is the second-largest of the three powers.”

Master Liu flipped a medium bowl upside down to represent the Street Food Union.

“Then there is the Hot Pot Alliance, the largest hot pot restaurant on the commercial street. Many hot pot restaurants have it backing them. It’s like a giant black hand unseen, manipulating the rise and fall, as well as the menu of the commercial street’s hot pot restaurants. But compared to stir-fry, hot pot lacks variety, so business is not as good as the Street Food Union’s. It’s ranked last among the three.”

Master Liu flipped a small bowl upside down to represent the Hot Pot Alliance.

“The dishes at the Hundred Fragrance Building are high-end, some even equivalent to top-grade medicinal dishes that significantly improve one’s Cultivation Level. Only the wealthy and powerful are patrons there. Hence, the Hundred Fragrance Building stands aloof, disdainful of the competition with the other two major powers.”

“In the competition between the Street Food Union and the Hot Pot Alliance, the latter lacks depth and falls behind.”

“Although our barbecue shop is just starting, it has a booming business. Given time, it will not lose to the three major powers; its potential is immense. I believe we can form an alliance with the Hot Pot Alliance to confront the Street Food Union!”

Master Gao chimed in: “Also, from a geographical perspective, the Hot Pot Alliance is very close to us, only half a street away, which aligns with the military concept of making distant friends and attacking those nearby!”

Master Gao, well-versed in military strategy, was the barbecue shop’s think tank.

“Above the three big powers, there is another superior power, which is the cafeteria!”

“Whether it is in terms of background, customer flow, or consumption level, the cafeteria stands far above the three powers!”

“The good news is, the disciples of Seek Dao Sect are buying weapons, not food, at the cafeteria. According to their functional positioning, they do not intersect with us, so there is no need to worry about future conflicts with the cafeteria.”

After the detailed and clear analysis from Master Liu and Master Gao, the Master and Vice Leader Jin had a rough grasp of the current situation.

Despite the initial difficulties, as long as it is run properly, it could potentially become the fourth giant!

Suddenly, Master Gao seemed worried: “In theory, we may be able to form an alliance with the Hot Pot Alliance, but after all, they are well-established giants, they may not be willing to cooperate with our barbecue shop with shallow foundations.”

Master Gao is preparing to discuss with the Hot Pot Alliance tomorrow, but he has already prepared for rejection.

Seeing Master Gao worried, the Master showed a faint smile, and he took out a piece of paper representing the will of the high-up Seek Dao Sect, and placed it in front of everyone.

“Can you divine what this is?”

Upon seeing the text on the paper, the pupils of Master Liu, Master Gao, and the five high-level members of the Eternity Sect contracted.

One of the high-level members of Eternity Sect exclaimed in a lose of words: “This… this is the business license of a ranch!”

With confidence in his smile, The Master said: “Yes, this is our qualification to forge an alliance with the Hot Pot Alliance!”

“Be it barbecue shops or hot pot restaurants, the most needed is of course fresh ingredients. If given a chance, we could breed some precious Demon Beasts to supply the Hundred Fragrance Building. In this way, we will be connected with the Hundred Fragrance Building!”

Everyone gasped. Not bad for a Master, well prepared in advance.

“But the surprises don’t stop here.” The Master beckoned, and the third man in the black cloak revealed his true face.

From the beginning, the third man in the black cloak remained silent, just listening. Now, he removed his hood, revealing an old but kind face.

“Believers, we meet for the first time, you can call me Immortal Eternity.”

“Immortal Eternity!!” Everyone was genuinely shocked. They never thought that Immortal Eternity would be resurrected!

With the Master as the guarantor, everyone did not doubt the identity of Immortal Eternity.

Most importantly, they could sense an indescribable bond between them and Immortal Eternity. This connection could not be faked.

“Our regards to Immortal Eternity!” Master Liu and Master Gao led in kneeling.

“Our regards to Immortal Eternity!” The five high-level members of the Eternity Sect also knelt and paid their respects.

“Stand.” Immortal Eternity spoke calmly, “I have reached an agreement with the Seek Dao Sect. As long as I do not leave the Seek Dao Sect, I can move freely!”

“After much consideration, I felt this place suits me best.”

“Having listened to you talk on and on earlier, I am somewhat disappointed.” In Immortal Eternity’s eyes was a look of discontent.

“You are all in the Unification stage, do you plan to spend your lives running a barbecue shop and ranch within the Seek Dao Sect? Are you content with this!”

“Please enlighten us!” The Master and the others thought back to the days when they were all high-ranking individuals who made the earth shake. Now, when they are given the opportunity to become one of the top forces, they are proud. They felt deep shame.

“Is Seek Dao Sect the only goal you have? If you are going to start, aim for chain stores all over the Central Continent!”

“If you’re going to do it, make it the biggest, make it the best!”
