Thus, faced with the major Immortal Sects, Sacred Places, Great Return to Void Cultivators, Integration Great Powers, and even Mahayana True Immortals of the Northern Domain, how was he going to preserve his life, and how would he free himself?
Perhaps he could feign compliance and join a faction; after all, he wasn't the Void Spirit Monarch, and he had no particular interest in those so-called Immortal Mansion treasures.
But that was the least desirable option.
As a man born into this world, how could he be content to live under others' shadows for long?
To live at others' behest, subject to their whims, was not his desire.
If possible, it would be best to break free and distance himself from this vortex of power.
As for confronting them head-on… Xu Yang wasn't foolish enough to pit a hundred years' worth of effort from Fish and Dragon Island against the accumulations of the Immortal Sects and Sacred Places over tens of thousands of years.
Withdrawal was the optimal choice.
