After hearing Ling Xiao's words, the Great Elder of Life hesitated slightly.
But in the end, a hint of determination appeared in his eyes. He took a deep breath and said slowly to Ling Xiao: "Because only you can save the Tiandao Merchant Alliance!"
The words of the Great Elder of Life were filled with sorrow, as well as a hint of fear and panic that he concealed.
Ling Xiao noticed the strangeness in the eyes of the Great Elder of Life, and couldn't help but feel moved. What on earth could make a quasi-immortal emperor so wary and fearful
As if he had already made the decision, the Great Elder of Life did not hide anything and simply told Ling Xiao everything.
"Fellow Daoist Ling Xiao, our Tiandao Merchant Alliance has a total of thirty-six great elders from the leader down. If the leader is not here, the thirty-six great elders can form an elders' meeting to decide on major matters of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance."
"The Elders' Meeting is the highest authority in the Tiandao Merchant Alliance, except for the Alliance Leader. But ever since I heard that the Immortal Emperor Alliance Leader of the Merchant Alliance got into trouble, the Elders' Meeting has changed a bit. Several great elders jointly recommended the Alliance Leader's direct disciple to become the Junior Alliance Leader and take charge of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance."
The Great Elder of Life said slowly.
"Could it be that there is something wrong with the leader's personal disciple?"
There was a gleam of light in Ling Xiao's eyes, and he asked slowly.
“That’s right!”
The Great Elder of Life nodded and said, "I practice the Way of Life, and I am very familiar with the auras of billions of creatures in the Eternal Immortal Realm. Although the leader's direct disciple tried his best to hide his aura, and his aura was very obscure, I still sensed... He has a trace of the aura of a dark creature! He may even have fallen into darkness and been invaded by darkness."
“If he takes charge of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance and becomes its leader, not only will our Tiandao Merchant Alliance be destroyed, but the Eternal Immortal Realm will also be in great trouble.”
"So no matter what, I can't let him become the leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance."
"Unfortunately, although I guessed that he was attacked by dark creatures, and I was almost 80% sure, I don't have any evidence after all. Even if I rashly proposed it, I'm afraid those elders would not listen to me. Not to mention how many of those elders have already been bribed by him, or even secretly calculated, it is hard to say, and I don't want to alert the enemy."
"However, even though I cannot directly decide not to let him become the leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance, I can nominate a candidate for the leader to compete with him. As long as you can defeat him and all the candidates for the leader, you can become the true leader of our Tiandao Business Alliance!"
The Great Elder of Life spoke slowly, his expression very sincere.
He told everything.
He even told Ling Xiao his guesses, as well as his worries and suspicions about the other great elders, without hiding anything.
The purpose is to hope that Ling Xiao can join the Tiandao Business Alliance and compete for the position of leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance.
It can be said that the reason why the Great Elder of Life came to the Creation Fairy Court was to find a peerless genius, in the hope of recruiting him into the Tiandao Business Alliance and making him a candidate for the leader.
Originally, he was in love with Di Hongluan, but Di Hongluan's identity was very special. She was the little princess of the Bright Fairy Court and had a noble status.
The Bright Immortal Court is powerful, not weaker than the Heavenly Dao Business Alliance. I am afraid that the Bright Immortal Court is unwilling to let Di Hongluan be involved in the competition with the Heavenly Dao Business Alliance.
Moreover, even if the Bright Fairy Court agreed, the Elder Council of the Tiandao Business Alliance would never allow a little princess of the Bright Fairy Court to become the leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance.
What the Great Elder of Life had not expected was that Ling Xiao actually gave him such a big surprise—his talent was unprecedented and unparalleled, and he always suppressed all the geniuses. Even Ni Cangtian, the supreme figure who claimed to have reached the pinnacle of the Immortal Emperor and might even break the limit of the Immortal Emperor, was suppressed by Ling Xiao!
In the eyes of the Great Elder of Life, as long as Ling Xiao does not die, he will definitely become a supreme immortal emperor.
If such a person could join the Tiandao Business Alliance, he would definitely be able to save the Tiandao Business Alliance from crisis.
Maybe, we can get rid of the traitor who is the leader’s personal disciple!
Moreover, the Great Elder of Life has already investigated Ling Xiao's identity.
Ling Xiao came from the Chaos Sea and had nothing to do with the major superpowers in the Eternal Immortal Realm.
Such a person is the most suitable to become the leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance.
"What is the level of the leader's direct disciple? After I defeat him, I can become the leader of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance. Isn't this too much of a joke?"
There was a gleam in Ling Xiao's eyes. He pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
The Great Elder of Life was shocked. He had heard the loosening meaning in Ling Xiao's words and felt hopeful. He said quickly, "First, you have to join the Heavenly Dao Merchant Alliance and become an elder of the branch of the Heavenly Dao Merchant Alliance stationed in the Creation Fairy Court. Then I will recommend you to become a candidate for the leader."
"The selection of the leader of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance requires several tests. The leader's direct disciple has just broken through to the Quasi-Immortal Emperor realm, but his talent is incomparably strong."
"But I believe that you will be able to defeat him and eventually seize the position of leader of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance. At that time, the countless wealth and resources of the Tiandao Merchant Alliance will be at your disposal. You will be able to break through to the realm of the Immortal Emperor in the fastest time!"
The Great Elder of Life said impatiently.
Ling Xiao thought for a moment and did not find any deception from the Great Elder of Life.
Moreover, joining the Tiandao Business Alliance did not seem to have any disadvantages for him. If he could become the leader of the Tiandao Business Alliance, it would indeed shorten the time it would take him to break through to the Immortal Emperor realm in the future.
Countless years have passed since he left the prehistoric world. In his heart, Ling Xiao missed Jinse, Xuewei, the two lovely children, as well as his parents and relatives.
However, the Eternal Immortal Realm is full of crises, and Ling Xiao is now unable to protect himself, let alone protect them.
If they can break through to the realm of the Immortal Emperor as soon as possible, Ling Xiao can also return to the prehistoric world as soon as possible and bring them all to the Eternal Immortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao's eyes flashed with brilliance. He looked deeply at the Great Elder of Life, nodded and said, "Okay, I agree to join Tiandao Business! But before that, I want to help Prince Li Wuji participate in the trial of the Tiandao Ancient Battlefield, and strive to seize the Eternal Fruit from it and break through to the realm of Quasi-Immortal Emperor!"
"Great! Ling Xiao, from now on, you are the elder of the branch of our Tiandao Merchant Alliance stationed in the Creation Fairy Court. As for your intention to enter the Tiandao Ancient Battlefield, I understand. Even if you don't tell me, I will let you enter the Tiandao Ancient Battlefield for trials. You can hunt dark creatures in the Tiandao Ancient Battlefield, and you will be very familiar with them. When you meet the leader's direct disciple in the future, you will know that what I said is true."
The Great Elder of Life said this with great excitement, as if a huge stone had fallen from his heart!
