Chapter 450
In truth, no matter how brutal the wars between the righteous and demonic paths became, whether they were fighting for resources or territorial control, according to existing records there had never been a precedent of Spirit Transformation Venerables from either side personally taking action due to defeat in war. One only heard of secret challenges occurring during times of peace.
Combined with the situation in the Ice Prison Realm, one could easily reach a conclusion.
The ones most anxious to break free from this cage were not geniuses like Wang Yu, but those powerhouses who had already reached the peak long ago. Even Spirit Transformation cultivators had limited lifespans.
If they could not escape the Ice Prison cage while still alive, what future could there be?
In Wang Yu’s eyes, whether it was the Blood Reversal Sect’s plan to become “prison wardens,” Yellow Springs Monastery’s plan to destroy the spiritual qi environment of the Ice Prison Realm from its foundation, or the Joyous Union Demon Sect imitating their predecessors’ “ancient methods” to prepare to release the sealed ancient Demon’s physical body and trigger great chaos, all of them seemed far too simplistic. They were more like various acts of madness born from having no other options. If he were an observer from beyond the heavens, he might simply sit back and enjoy the show.
After all, the difficulty of successfully executing any of these plans was extremely high.
Aside from releasing the ancient Demon’s physical body, which would constitute dereliction of duty for the observer and might prompt intervention, the other plans were all overly idealistic and completely failed to account for the actual difficulties involved.
In summary.
The highest possibility lay in openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing at Chencang[1]. As long as there was a shared interest and goal, it was perfectly normal for the Spirit Transformation Venerables of the righteous and demonic paths to cooperate.
