Chapter 1481: Overwhelming Disparity in Strength
The people from the four branches of Spirit Mountain, including Master Ma Zhi, left the All Paths Divine Hall one after another after bidding farewell to Jing Yan.
The Divine Emperor strongman Elder Chui Feng of the Eastern Branch Spirit Mountain did not immediately leave the Outer Hall. Ruo Bing Supreme Elder of All Paths Spirit Mountain and the acting Mountain Master of the North Branch Spirit Mountain, Che Ju, set off together for the North Branch Spirit Mountain. Therefore, only Jing Yan and Supreme Elder Chui Feng were in the All Paths Divine Hall at this moment.
Supreme Elder Chui Feng looked at Jing Yan with a smile.
"The Heavenly Dao destined that our All Paths Sacred Land will not sink and fall. I have always believed that the Wanbao Divine Hall cannot replace the All Paths Sacred Land in controlling the All Paths World. It seems now that my judgment was not wrong," Supreme Elder Chui Feng said to Jing Yan solemnly.
These words elevated Jing Yan to a very high position. Although not explicitly stated, the implication was clear: Supreme Elder Chui Feng considered Jing Yan the savior of the All Paths Sacred Land, the destined new leader.
"Elder Chui Feng, please do not praise me so highly. For now, I’ve just taken the first step. If we want to overthrow the Wanbao Divine Hall, there’s still a long, long road ahead. Now, I have a certain understanding of the overall strength of the Wanbao Divine Hall. Even if our All Paths Sacred Land unites all five Spirit Mountains, we are still at a significant disadvantage," Jing Yan sighed.
Chui Feng also nodded heavily.
"The rise of the Wanbao Divine Hall happened too quickly; we did not react in time, and they had already grown to the point that they threaten the All Paths Sacred Land. By the time we wanted to take measures, it was too late. Over the past few billion years, the expansion of the Wanbao Divine Hall has accelerated, seriously compressing the living space of the All Paths Sacred Land. Wanbao Daoist is indeed a most capable adversary," Chui Feng lamented.
"Holy Master, at this Wan Dao Assembly, the seven top-tier forces of the All Paths World have representatives here. However, as far as I know, these seven top-tier forces are somewhat connected to the Wanbao Divine Hall. Once All Paths Sacred Land and Wanbao Divine Hall enter full confrontation, it’s still uncertain how these seven forces will choose," Chui Feng looked back at Jing Yan.
He was reminding Jing Yan not to assume that just because the seven top-tier forces were participating in the Wan Dao Assembly, they would side with the All Paths Sacred Mountain.
