Chapter 1296 - 689: The True Martial Sect’s Foundation! Half a Dragon Horn of the Donghuang Demon Lord!
Chaotic Demon Sea.
Countless streaks of light flew out from the major island of the Eight Great Sects.
Every once in a while, a cultivator ascends to a new realm.
The great war brings not only life and death, but also overwhelming opportunities.
Many cultivators now cultivate as if every minute counts.
They no longer idle away time like before.
Now, every moment of idleness means extra danger when a crisis arises.
Among the various major sects, the disciples of the Dao Yi Sect and the True Martial Sect have the fastest progress in realm cultivation.
Because the resources of these two sects are the most abundant.
At this moment, deep within the major island belonging to the True Martial Sect.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable and Jiang Shu sat opposite each other, surrounded by formation patterns, isolating inside from out.
"Recently, our sect has added ten new Vientiane Daoist Monarchs."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable slowly spoke.
The Vientiane Realm, before the war started, was an existence unattainable by ordinary cultivators.
Within the sect, only the Peak Masters of the thirty-six peaks could walk the world as Vientiane Realm cultivators.
The rest were mostly in seclusion.
But now, the Vientiane Realm can only be considered the backbone.
The Nirvana Realm has already become too weak amidst the great war.
Especially fighting in the Demon Domain, the battle power of many Low Rank Cultivators is greatly diminished.
The Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi is obscured by the more vast Demon Energy, so the Divine Power Combat Power here can only manifest sixty to seventy percent of the Cang Mang Domain’s strength.
Only upon reaching the Vientiane Realm can one fight with the Great Dao, nearly exerting full combat power.
It can be said that in the Eight Great Sects, besides the number of Daoist Venerables, the most crucial data is the number of newly ascended Vientiane Realm cultivators.
Ten Vientiane Realm cultivators today is definitely not considered few.
Moreover, Jiang Shu knew that the ten Vientiane Daoist Monarchs Taiwu Daoist Venerable referred to were mostly self-cultivated.
They gained insight into the Great Dao themselves.
Rather than relying on methods like imbuement.
Such Vientiane Daoist Monarchs have greater potential.
Once they gain opportunities in the great war, they might progress even further.
"The heavens are vast and boundless, my Dao will flourish."
Jiang Shu opened his mouth and spoke.
To him, naturally, the stronger the sect, the better.
After the two discussed the development of the True Martial Sect for a while.
Taiwu Daoist Venerable then shifted the conversation to cultivation.
"Although the Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array has various drawbacks, it can, without a doubt, enhance the Demon Race’s battle power in a short time."
"If the Heaven-Burning Ancestor were to make a move, even I would be held up."
"Let alone, there are other talents who will ascend because of it."
"However, they have the Demon Race’s methods, and we have the Human Clan’s foundation."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable glanced deeply at Jiang Shu and spoke with emotion,
"However, these foundations can sometimes be too hasty. Your master and I never intended to use them for you from the start. Not because you’re unworthy, but because your ascension speed is incredibly fast. We fear such methods could affect you negatively."
"But now it seems you have accumulated quite a foundation."
"Moreover, you have another identity, the Golden Horn within the Demon Race. In the future, who knows what kind of great war will arise. Just the Heaven-Burning Ancestor alone, if he moves, with your current realm, you’d only be able to flee continuously."
"Therefore, I decided to give you the opportunity. Whether to use it or not depends on you."
Jiang Shu listened attentively.
The effect of the Demon Race’s Ten Thousand Spirits Casting Venerable Array was something Jiang Shu had witnessed personally, forcibly boosting one to a higher realm.
It’s outright unimaginable.
One must know, a high realm is unlike a low realm.
A low realm involves merely the transformation of Primordial Power within the body, like from the Furnace Fire Realm to the Primordial Pill Realm.
It’s just the Primordial Power in the body gradually forming a solid state.
As for Divine Skills, they can be imparted through methods like imbuement.
To truly raise such a low realm doesn’t require large-scale formation resources.
Even Jiang Shu alone could create batches of Primordial Pill Realm cultivators.
But the difference from a Demon Monarch to a Demon Venerable, or even from a Demon Venerable to a Half-step Demon Lord.
The disparity in realms is vast.
The former involves the Space Dao, the latter delves into the mystically divine Time Dao.
Even he feels uncertain in comprehending the Time Dao.
When he finished speaking, Taiwu Daoist Venerable took out a jade box from his sleeve.
"Hmm?"
Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows slightly.
The jade box looked ancient, yet inscribed with endless complex ancient patterns on top.
From his current realm perspective, each of these complex ancient patterns seemed to contain a Great Dao evolving within.
As if sealing all its contents within the jade box completely.
Ordinary Daoist Venerables of Mixed Cave Realm might take thousands of years to break through these complex ancient patterns.
"What is sealed within this?"
"Originating from the Demon Race?"
Although Jiang Shu’s insight into formations wasn’t as refined as his Daoist Technique or body cultivation, he was stronger than average Daoist Venerables of Mixed Cave Realm and naturally understood the essence of this jade box.
The so-called opportunity should be contained within this jade box.
What is sealed might be an item belonging to the Demon Race.
After all, if it were a treasure from the Human Clan, such means wouldn’t be necessary.
"Indeed."
Taiwu Daoist Venerable nodded slightly, a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
In his view, Jiang Shu’s most terrifying trait wasn’t just his cultivation talent.
But also his almost all-around development.
For instance, the opportunity in his hand, given to any other Daoist Venerable of Mixed Cave Realm, might not be fully utilized.
But Jiang Shu might be able to achieve it.
Without further hesitation, Taiwu Daoist Venerable’s face turned serious; his fingers flicked in succession, evolving countless Great Daos within the void.
