Realm-Hopping Martial Master

Among the Eight Great Sects.

In the past, the Dao Yi Sect was basically the absolute ruler.

It was the leader of the Eight Great Sects.

Even now, the Dao Yi Sect’s authority is still slightly above the True Martial Sect.

But today, this matter is not quite the same.

Because Golden Horn involves Jiang Shu, the Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable.

Once Golden Horn grows, the ones most harmed would be Jiang Shu and the True Martial Sect.

Therefore, the Supreme Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect is happy to see how the True Martial Sect will handle it.

As for what needs to be sacrificed, it depends on how much the True Martial Sect values Jiang Shu.

The Supreme Sect Leader of the Dao Yi Sect remains silent.

The Supreme Sect Leaders of the Creation Sect, Dan Fu Sect, and Beast Taming Sect, which are inclined towards the Dao Yi Sect, also remain silent.

However, the Taiwu Daoist Venerable still sits at the main seat, eyes deep, as if seeing far beyond through the Star Map Sand Table.

He remains silent for a moment, then speaks slowly, his voice like the eternal movement of the stars, carrying a settling power that assures the heart:

"The Demon Race’s foundation is ultimately limited, and even with an Ancestor Dragon phantom, Golden Horn is merely a new Demon Venerable."

"Moreover, in this war, our sect’s Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable has already severely injured Golden Horn."

"To recover, Golden Horn would consume countless resources from both the Dragon and Phoenix clans."

"The more resources he occupies, the fewer resources are available for other prodigies, which is the future shift of the Demon Race!"

"The Demon Race wants to pile all resources onto Golden Horn, betting on his future. But observe our sect’s Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable; has he ever commandeered all our Human Clan’s resources to grow to this point?"

"The great power of our Human Clan does not rest in a single person."

His gaze sweeps across the projection of the sect leaders of the Seven Great Sects, finally settling on Jiang Shu.

"Golden Horn’s rise still requires a massive amount of time, during which our sect’s Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable is also quietly cultivating and advancing."

"No need to over-worry."

"What we should care about is, besides Jiang Shu and the Supreme Mysterious Daoist Venerable, how other sect prodigies can better acquire resources from our Eight Great Sects to advance their individual realms."

"For a war to achieve ultimate victory hinges on our supreme combat power. But if the young ones do not rise, how can we hold this vast Demon Domain?"

"Wait a thousand, ten thousand, or a hundred thousand years to wage war again?"

"This one battle of mine, I naturally aim to complete all achievements in one stroke!"

"My True Martial Sect will increase the previous quota of Ten Great True Inheritors to a hundred. Each one will be able to learn our sect’s Taoist Scripture!"

"True Inheritors from other sects may come to our sect to learn Divine Skills, no matter the Heaven Rank."

"For the prosperity of the Human Clan!"

The voice of the Taiwu Daoist Venerable grows louder.

Here, beside him, no one knows that Golden Horn is merely a clone of Jiang Shu, posing no true threat.

He can seize this opportunity to elevate the standing of the True Martial Sect further.

For once his proposal is executed, future prodigies will all owe a great debt to the True Martial Sect.

"I agree. Our Heavenly Puppet Sect will also open up true inheritor slots and lower the Divine Skills training threshold."

"True inheritors from the other seven great sects need only prepare materials, and our Heavenly Puppet Sect will refine lifebound puppets for them free of charge. Adding a bit more power to their combat capabilities!"

The Supreme Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect speaks first.

The Heavenly Puppet Sect has always been inclined towards the True Martial Sect.

This war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race has yielded a wealth of demon corpses for refining puppets, thus strengthening the Heavenly Puppet Sect’s power since the beginning of the war.

Regrettably, the disciples’ realm advancements are still too slow, and the cultivation of divine sense is arduous.

They cannot control multiple puppets with their own strength.

Thus, their combat strength has been unable to increase.

This time, under the order of the True Martial Sect’s Supreme Sect Leader, they can seize this opportunity to connect with other true disciples.

"My Douxing Sect as well. Though without puppets, my Douxing Sect possesses a Star Array capable of infusing external sect disciples with the Power of Stars to refine the body, thus reducing the risk of Crossing Tribulation."

The Supreme Sect Leader of the Douxing Sect follows closely.

The other Supreme Sect Leaders’ attentions turn to the Dao Yi Sect’s Supreme Sect Leader.

Only after the Dao Yi Sect’s Supreme Sect Leader responds with a "Yes" do they all nod in agreement.

Afterward, each figure gradually fades, their consciousness returning to their respective sects to begin transmitting and implementing actions.

The entire void of heaven and earth is left with only Taiwu Daoist Venerable and Jiang Shu.

The Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s gaze falls on Jiang Shu, and both share a knowing smile.

"It seems that the recent victories have led some to grow complacent."

Jiang Shu says.

The Taiwu Daoist Venerable nods, saying, "The emergence of Golden Horn can be said to kill two birds with one stone."

"I hope your tactics will be effective. The longer Golden Horn can hold out among the Demon Race, the greater the chances of your plan’s success."

"Leave external matters to us; your most critical task now is to quickly advance your realm to the Late Stage Daoist Venerable without affecting your foundation."

"The Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array of the Demon Race, though seemingly immense in power, has numerous drawbacks when lifting strength through this array."

"Those Demon Venerables you encountered before were likely elevated through the array, possessing the realm but lacking true Demon Venerable strength. Our Eight Great Sects could achieve this as well."

"Yet it would be pointless."

"The Demon Race lays down this great array, more to test if any higher formations might evolve from it."

"Seeking a path beyond Demon Venerable."

"Your identity as Golden Horn should also be one of their tests."

"After all, with an Ancestor Dragon Bloodline, who knows what changes it might provoke."
