Shenzhou.
Void.
The Heavenly Crippled Lord and the Golden Silkworm Ancestor remained silent.
"Eighty-two."
"In just ten thousand short years, the One Origin Dao Sect has achieved Dao with eighty-two True Immortals."
"Do you two believe there’s still a necessity to preserve Shenzhou?"
The Crimson Blood Ancestor looked at the two demons and said solemnly, "Originally, the One Origin Dao Sect took forty thousand years to produce ten True Immortals, we could ignore it. Then another eighty thousand years passed with just two more, still not botherso. But now, the One Origin Dao Sect’s intentions are apparent, with new True Immortals erging like rain. Are we really just going to sit idly by and watch them occupy Shenzhou and clear the cosmos?"
Crimson Blood Ancestor was also feeling uneasy.
Although he was hoping that the One Origin Dao Sect would produce more True Immortals to provoke the Golden Silkworm Ancestor and the Heavenly Crippled Lord into decisively severing ties with the Daoists, he did not wish they would still harbor intentions of preserving Shenzhou’s heavens and earth.
But initially, the One Origin Dao Sect was hesitant in the first eighty thousand years, only having two True Immortals achieve Dao under Zhou Yan.
This sowhat disappointed the Crimson Blood Ancestor.
But recently, in the past ten thousand years, the situation has drastically changed.
The One Origin Dao Sect, in a manner that amazed all of Shenzhou, produced eighty-two new True Immortals in one push.
On average, one in over a hundred Fourth-order Peak Daoist disciples achieved Dao.
On average, every hundred years or so, one person achieved Dao.
For the past ten thousand years.
The fires and calamities overseas at Golden Wind Mountain have been unending.
Occasionally erupting.
Sotis even three or five True Immortals achieve Dao together.
A shock every three days.
An impact every five days.
The One Origin Dao Sect is too brazen!
The Crimson Blood Ancestor intended to use the One Origin Dao Sect to provoke the two old demons, but this assembly line of True Immortals was beyond his expectations.
"Madness!"
"The One Origin Dao Sect is so unscrupulous!"
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor was similarly shocked, his heart conflicted.
Ten thousand years.
Eighty-two True Immortals.
Who could have imagined this?
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor originally thought he could endure under the heavy thunder tribulations for several more millions of years. Once at his wit’s end, he could agree to the Crimson Blood Ancestor’s plan and break Shenzhou later.
After all, at the original pace, the Daoists’ ambition to sweep away the demons and monopolize Shenzhou would not happen anyti soon.
But now!
As the Crimson Blood Ancestor said, if action isn’t taken now, soon Shenzhou will be filled with Daoist True Immortals!
"Zhou Yan!"
"He should have been eliminated long ago!"
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor gritted his teeth, filled with hatred.
Every plan.
Every calculation.
To this point, all were disrupted by the astonishing actions of the One Origin Dao Sect. And the source of it all, eight or nine tis out of ten, lies with Zhou Yan.
How could the Golden Silkworm Ancestor not hate?
"It’s pointless to talk anymore!"
"Zhou Yan must be eliminated!"
Even until now, the Golden Silkworm Ancestor was unwilling to act rashly.
For Shenzhou’s heavens and earth are of utmost importance.
These True Immortals were born in Shenzhou, cultivated in Shenzhou, achieved Dao in Shenzhou, and are closely linked with this piece of heaven and earth.
If Shenzhou were shattered.
From then on, without the support of the Heaven and Earth Origin, they’d beco like a rootless duckweed in the cosmos, isolated from the universe’s heaven and earth, greatly restricting their Daoist enlightennt.
If they could seize part of Shenzhou’s Origin and obtain the miraculous treasures nurtured by it, it would indeed be ideal.
But there are many Great Powers in Shenzhou.
In this competition, no one knows how much they might gain.
No one has absolute certainty.
The Crimson Blood Ancestor is eager to take action because he feels his progress has stagnated, and facing one thunder tribulation after another, he feels increasingly hard-pressed. Even with Shenzhou’s heavens and earth and the support of the Origin, it’s like a small stream, valuable for its long-term flow.
But a distant spring cannot quench present thirst.
It’s better to break the cauldrons and sink the boats, shatter Shenzhou, and use the Origin to advance his Daoist cultivation further, to endure for millions of years more.
As long as there is life, there is hope.
A few million more years of respite might present other opportunities.
And now.
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor still had buffer ti, ti to proceed slowly. After all, with Shenzhou’s heavens and earth present, if they wanted to act, they could do so at any ti.
But with the explosive rise of True Immortals at the One Origin Dao Sect, the Daoists’ power guarding Shenzhou greatly increased. If this continues, by the ti he and the Crimson Blood Ancestor also reach their ends, looking back to covet Shenzhou’s Origin might beco an unmovable feat.
At a crossroads.
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor is understandably troubled.
However, eighty-two True Immortals are still within his acceptable range, if eliminating Zhou Yan could halt the One Origin Dao Sect from producing more True Immortals, he would obviously prefer to attempt eliminating Zhou Yan first.
...
"Fellow Daoist, you’re confused!"
The Crimson Blood Ancestor sighed as he saw the Golden Silkworm Ancestor still harboring illusions even now: "What use is there in eliminating Zhou Yan now? He has likely long handed over the Secret Treasure that assists True Immortals in achieving Dao to the Daoists, and is now just the facade the Dao Sect erects outside."
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor remained silent, wearing a sullen expression. The atmosphere stalled.
The fundantal disagreent between the Crimson Blood and Golden Silkworm two old demons, ultimately, lies in selfishness, lies in their self-interest.
The forr feels ti is running out, or perhaps pretends ti is running out, but is actually well-prepared.
The latter is composed and unhurried.
In essence.
In this situation, if the Crimson Blood Ancestor really had an urgent need for Shenzhou’s Origin to prolong his life, the Golden Silkworm Ancestor and Heavenly Crippled Lord would only delay until the Crimson Blood Ancestor couldn’t bear it any longer, and would naturally offer a price to persuade the two demons.
Previously.
The Crimson Blood Ancestor was anxious, putting him at a disadvantage.
The two demons were in control, easily able to raise their price.
But with the One Origin Dao Sect and Zhou Yan stirring the pot, the dynamics between the three demons sowhat shifted.
The Golden Silkworm Ancestor.
Including the Heavenly Crippled Lord.
Their first thought is still to remove Zhou Yan, see how the situation stands, and then decide whether to act.
