Back at the Bai Clan, the news of Bai Zihan officially joining the Neutral Alliance had naturally already spread throughout the entire clan.However, contrary to what outsiders expected, not a single voice of opposition appeared.
If it had been any other Clan Leader making such a decision, many elders would likely have questioned it immediately.
Why should the Bai Clan join such a weak alliance?
Why offend the Imperial Family over smaller clans and sects?
And more importantly, how could such a major decision be made without first consulting the clan elders?
Under normal circumstances, those questions would absolutely arise.
But the person who made the decision was Bai Zihan.
Within the Bai Clan today, Bai Zihan's prestige had already reached an almost untouchable level.
No one doubted his judgment anymore.
Instead, the entire clan became even more excited after hearing the news.
"Hahaha! As expected of Clan Leader Bai!"
"Even while standing at the peak, he still thinks about protecting smaller factions. Truly broad-minded!"
"Hmph! Those princes and princesses had better understand their place."
"They can still act arrogant now only because our Bai Clan does not care about the throne. Otherwise, everyone knows clearly who would truly rule this empire."
Many Bai Clan members nodded confidently.
In their eyes, the Imperial Family was no longer some untouchable existence.
At best, they were merely a paper tiger maintaining their status because the Bai Clan had no interest in replacing them.
Otherwise, with the Bai Clan's current strength, overturning the balance of the empire was no longer impossible.
Especially after the clan's explosive growth recently.
DRRRRMMM!!!
Suddenly, a deep rumbling sound echoed across the Bai Clan territory.
Dark clouds rapidly gathered in the skies once more.
Many casually glanced upward before speaking almost lazily.
"Oh? Which elder is breaking through this time?"
The tone was so relaxed that outsiders would likely cough blood hearing it.
After all, Heavenly Tribulations were supposed to be rare and shocking events.
Yet within the current Bai Clan, they had practically become a common scene.
No one even bothered panicking or being shocked anymore.
Many clan members merely looked up briefly before continuing their conversations normally.
At most, some younger disciples became curious about which elder had advanced this time.
Because during this recent period, the number of Bai Clan experts breaking through had simply become too absurd.
No one knew the exact number anymore.
But everyone understood one terrifying fact clearly.
Even if all the top factions of the Desolate Heaven Empire combined their Immortal Realm experts together, they still might not surpass the Bai Clan anymore.
And the reason for all this was naturally obvious.
The Mu Clan!
More specifically, the Heavenly Ascension Tempering Pills supplied by them.
With sufficient resources and the Bai Clan's already terrifying foundation, countless experts who had been stuck at bottlenecks for years were now continuously breaking through one after another without failure.
This was also why the Bai Clan's confidence had reached unprecedented heights.
Nearby, several younger Bai Clan disciples were still discussing the Neutral Alliance excitedly among themselves.
"Hmph! Those princes and princesses really think they can do whatever they want."
"With Clan Leader Bai backing the alliance, let's see who still dares force smaller clans into the throne struggle."
"Our Bai Clan truly stands above everyone else now!"
The more they spoke, the more excited they became.
However—
"Ahem!"
A heavy cough suddenly rang out nearby.
The surrounding disciples instantly stiffened.
Their expressions changed drastically as they hurriedly turned around.
"G-Grand Elder Feng!"
Several of them immediately bowed nervously.
Standing there with his hands behind his back was Bai Feng.
His aura had become far deeper and more terrifying compared to before.
Even though he was not intentionally releasing pressure, merely standing there already made the surrounding disciples feel tremendous oppression instinctively.
After all, this was now an Immortal Realm expert.
Bai Feng frowned slightly as he looked at the group.
"Instead of wasting your time gossiping here, why aren't you cultivating? Do you think with your strength and attitude, you can be of any help to Clan Leader Bai?"
His voice carried clear displeasure.
"If you have time to talk nonsense, then use that time to improve your strength instead."
The disciples immediately became nervous.
"Yes!"
"Grand Elder Feng, we shall obey!"
They hurriedly bowed repeatedly before quickly scattering toward the training grounds, not daring to remain any longer.
Seeing their panicked appearances, Bai Feng snorted lightly.
However, despite the stern expression on his face, inwardly, his mood was actually extremely good.
No, it would be more accurate to say he had been in an excellent mood ever since breaking through into the Immortal Realm.
Even now, he still occasionally finds the whole thing surreal.
Immortal Realm!
A realm he once thought he would never touch in this lifetime yet now he had truly stepped into it.
And all of it was thanks to Bai Zihan.
Thinking about this, Bai Feng's expression became somewhat complicated.
Back then, he had once stood on the opposite side of Bai Zihan.
Although he had never directly harmed him, he also certainly had not supported him either.
But now?
Not only had Bai Feng completely acknowledged Bai Zihan as Clan Leader, he even fully supported nearly every decision Bai Zihan made.
Of course, he was not the only one.
The entire Bai Clan was basically the same now.
Who would oppose Bai Zihan in the Bai Clan?
No one, even the Earth Immortal Grand Elder doesn't.
Sometimes, a few elders still offered suggestions or advice during clan meetings.
But that was mostly just to preserve appearances and show they were still participating in discussions.
In reality, most of the elders no longer questioned whatever decision Bai Zihan made.
Others had even abandoned clan matters almost entirely to focus on cultivation instead.
After the Mu Clan continuously supplied Grade-7 pills, many elders who had been stuck at bottlenecks for hundreds or even thousands of years finally felt their stagnant cultivation begin moving again.
That feeling alone was enough to drive cultivators crazy.
Breakthroughs that once seemed impossible had now become realistic possibilities.
Naturally, the Bai Clan's elders had become increasingly obsessed with cultivation lately.
Many of them even remained in seclusion constantly.
And the results were equally terrifying.
One Immortal Realm expert after another began appearing within the Bai Clan.
Now, when discussing enemy factions like the Li Clan, the Zhao Clan, or even the Imperial Family, the Bai Clan elders no longer felt much pressure at all.
Because their perspective had already begun changing completely.
To the current Bai Clan, the Desolate Heaven Empire' itself no longer seemed all that important anymore.
