The uproar that the Karmic Theory Debate created slowly settled down as time passed. However, another uproar was caused by the modified Holy Lihuo Mantra and potentially modified Ancient Immortality Scripture.
Although many of them were unable to increase their abilities in time to face the Vipralopa Stage demons if they came to attack the Divine Lands, they were still very tempted by this process. After all, the influence of this wasn’t just short-term. It could have far-reaching impacts.
Everyone looked at the calm Lin Feng and many thoughts arose in their minds, “Does Lin Feng think that he’s number one in the world now?”
As compared to the calm Shi Zongtang, Ji Wenrui shut his eyes even though he didn’t reveal any expression.
No one could see the flashing radiance in his eyes. This sword cultivator’s state of mind was undoubtedly affected too.
He, the Tiangang Swordmaster and the others weren’t as stubborn as the Cangming Swordmaster then. They reviewed their own mantras and tried to revise the mantras over the years.
It’s just that he had this strong feeling that time and tide waited for no man.
Once the Divine Lands was empty, the Mount Shu Sword Sect and Great Qin Empire were bound to be in the greatest danger. The Great Qin Empire faced pressure from the Dragon tribe, whereas the Mount Shu Sword Sect was fearful of the Ancient Ape Demons.
Mount Shu Sword Sect’s enmity with the Ancient Ape Demons originated when Ren Changmei killed the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage then. That’s why Shen Yuan attacked Mount Shu. If not for the aid of the other human cultivators, the Mount Shu Sword Sect would have been decimated. Even so, they suffered heavy losses and faced one of the greatest crisis in the history of the sect.
After Shen Yuan perished, the Ancient Ape Demons hit a low. The Mount Shu Sword Sect and the Ancient Ape Demons never clashed ever since then. Mount Shu Sword Sect wanted to wipe them out, but their wish was never fulfilled.
There were killings inflicted on both parties, but no large-scale conflict broke out. The Crimson Gorilla Demon Apes treated the Mount Shu Sword Sect as their arch-enemy.
Now that the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage had reached the Vipralopa Stage, this generation of Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage was even powerful. If the demons attacked the Divine Lands and especially Mount Shu, the Tiangang Swordmaster was bound to be overwhelmed.
Ji Wenrui shut his eyes, which seemed like he was resting. But he was actually calming himself down and pondering about things.
The reason why he came was because the Celestial Sect of Wonders mentioned the Spirit Sea.
This was a huge opportunity for the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect. But for the Mount Shu Sword Sect, this could be a potential disaster.
If the Ancient Ape Demons received the Secret Spirit Sea Key, they would focus their attention on the Spirit Sea. After the Spirit Sea re-opens, they would proceed to the Spirit Sea and the Mount Shu Sword Sect wouldn’t have anything to worry about.
Even if the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage still attacked, the Mount Shu Sword Sect should still be able to handle him in the short-term if the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage didn’t tag along.
The Heaven-Destroying Sword remained in the Divine Lands. If the Crimson Gorilla Grand Sage couldn’t end things quickly, he should be worried whether he would be able to return to the Barren Expanses.
But if the Heavenly Grandmaster Grand Sage didn’t have the Secret Spirit Sea Key, then the Mount Shu Sword Sect would be under huge pressure once the Great Void Sect and the Celestial Sect of Wonders leave the Divine Lands.
The rest of the sects and powers were also likely to face danger. However, they weren’t the obvious targets like the Great Qin Empire and the Mount Shu Sword Sect.
Of course, their enmity with the demons wasn’t exactly that deep as compared to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders had Mount Yujing and the Ying Sea. They were easy to defend but difficult to be attacked. The Great Void Sect was an easier target along with the Mount Shu Sword Sect and Great Qin Empire. It’s just that the Great Void Sect was comparatively stronger than the Mount Shu Sword Sect and Great Qin Empire.
The Heavenly Master Swordmaster opened his mouth at this point, “Master Lin, can we think of a way to ambush the demons who’re going to attack the Divine Lands once the Spirit Sea re-opens? Just like what you mentioned earlier, it’s going to be difficult to establish contact once all of you’re in the Spirit Sea. The demons will also find it difficult to verify whether your sect and the Great Void Sect are in the Spirit Sea.”
He didn’t mention something, but everyone could sense what he wanted to say.
The outstanding forces from the Divine Lands and Barren Expanses were going to enter the Spirit Sea. But the humans had the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect, while the demons only had the Hades tribe.
If the Celestial Sect of Wonders and the Great Void Sect could collaborate with each other and one of them entered the Spirit Sea first, the Hades tribe couldn’t gain an upper hand and the other sect could use the opportunity to slaughter the other demons. This would be the most favorable situation for the humans.
But the question was, who was willing to sacrifice themselves for the other party? This wasn’t even including the fact that both the Celestial Sect and Great Void Sect had a tense relationship.
The first party to enter the Spirit Sea didn’t necessarily possess the upper hand. Cultivating the Spirit Sea couldn’t be completed so quickly. Furthermore, the first party that entered the Spirit Sea would’ve to fight the Hades tribe.
However, the first party that entered the Spirit Sea was undoubtedly at an advantage.
The Celestial Sect of Wonders held an advantageous position in the Divine Lands right now. But if the Great Void Sect obtained control of the Spirit Sea, the situation in the Divine Lands was bound to change.
However, while everyone believed that it’s a nightmare for the Great Void Sect to obtain control of the Spirit Sea, they didn’t think that it’s necessarily a good thing if the Celestial Sect of Wonders obtained control of the Spirit Sea.
This had nothing to do with their relationship with the Celestial Sect of Wonders or anything personal. It’s just a feeling that they sensed as leaders of their respective sects.
Besides the Ethereal Mountain Sect that was reliant on the Celestial Sect of Wonders, the rest of the sects and powers had their own independent thinking. They weren’t willing to have someone standing over them forever.
If anyone had the ability to cause interference, they wouldn’t hesitate to do so. The same logic applied to the Great Void Sect too.
However, the requirements to enter the Spirit Sea were very strict and seemed a little too demanding. If one couldn’t fulfill these requirements, it’s best to give up on the idea of entering the Spirit Sea.
Gu Jun turned to the Heavenly Master Swordmaster and calmly said, “We’re also unable to confirm which demon tribes will enter the Spirit Sea.”
“If the Dragons and Ancient Ape Demons enter the Spirit Sea along with the Hades tribe and the Heavenly Charms Grand Sage, the pressure on the party that enters the Spirit Sea alone will be too great.”
“If there’s only an ambush over here, our efforts and time will be wasted if the enemies don’t come.”
“If we have to actively attack, we’ll return to the same problem earlier. We don’t’ know which demon tribes are going to stay and which demon tribes are going to enter the Spirit Sea.”
The Lightning Swordmaster opened his mouth at this point, “Even if an active attack works out, we’ll still be in a disadvantageous situation if the Spirit Sea lands in the hands of the demons.”
The Heavenly Master Swordmaster nodded his head, “You’re right.”
The atmosphere became a little weird and an awkward silence ensued.
Lin Feng sat in his seat and tapped the seat handle lightly. His lips curved into an arc that wasn’t very noticeable.
Although no one mentioned anything, Lin Feng was clearly aware of what the weird situation in front of him was all about.
To the rest of the sects and powers in the Divine Lands, it might not be completely unacceptable if the Hades tribe obtained control of the Spirit Sea. TO a certain extent, it might be even better than if the Celestial Sect of Wonders or the Great Void Sect controlled the Spirit Sea.
If the Hades tribe obtained the Spirit Sea, the demons in the Barren Expanses would be the first to face the pressure. A new Holy Demonic Emperor would rise again.
After that, the Hades tribe would turn their attention to the Celestial Sect of Wonders and Great Void Sect in the Divine Lands.
From a long-term perspective, this was an absolutely disastrous thing. If the Illusory Sun Hades’ powers continued to grow or if any other Hades demon became powerful enough to reach the Hades Emperor’s strength, the Hades tribe would completely dominate the Grand Celestial World with the Spirit Sea.
But if there’s an unknown factor involved, it had to be the Celestial Sect of Wonders.
In the event of a crisis, the Celestial Sect of Wonders could team up with the Great Void Sect and the Heaven-Destroying Sword could pair with the Supreme Heavenly Mirror.
The abilities and chances of victory for both parties would be an unknown. The overall situation in the Grand Celestial World would also be in a messy yet balanced state.
Such a state was bound to provide a more conducive environment for the survival and rise of the other sects and powers.
However, such a thinking could only reside in the depths of one’s mind. No one dared to express it out.
Moreover, most of the sects present couldn’t join in the competition for the Spirit Sea. Even if they had certain thoughts, they were just personal opinions.
The most pressing problem that they faced was the danger they were possibly in due to the battle for the Spirit Sea.
That’s why Lin Feng was going to hold a talk in the Longevity City in three days’ time and he invited the most outstanding disciples from each sect to attend this talk.
Lin Feng could offer valuable insights and advice. They weren’t specific to any mantras but related to the concepts of the Great Dao.
Even while those listening to him might not completely understand him, their elders could benefit from the knowledge.
Of course, they were most likely to benefit more from private guidance after the talk was over.
Whatever guidance they received was a secret. Even if those around could roughly tell, it’s because everyone came for the same reason.
In the future, cultivators from certain sects would sense slight changes in the Great Dao as they cultivated their mantras. This wasn’t a matter of if, but when. After this, there would be news from Mount Kunlun that someone had proceeded to Mount Yujing to ask for advice.
The human cultivation world was slowly welcoming a brand-new situation in the Divine Lands.
