"Naturally, we will not let things rest there. When the ti cos, both parties will rely on their own thods."
Zhen Xuanyuan said, his voice tinged with a unique confidence, "However, just as Demon Cultivators excel in preserving their lives and are not skilled in head-on confrontations, the cultivation system of the Divine Race also has certain drawbacks. Their power is built upon a massive 'believer' system—the closer they are to their own 'believers,' the stronger they beco. Given that the Dao Lord's ascension site is clearly deep within the starry sky and far from the Earthly Divine Kingdoms that the Divine Race has established, the advantage lies with our Heavenly Dao Sect."
Alkaid listened, and nodded slightly.
Before integrating Dao, each major cultivation system has so differences.
Demon Cultivators are formless and elusive, with a strong ability to preserve their lives, making them difficult to kill.
The Divine Race, on the other hand, relies on believers. Attacking an Earthly Divine Kingdom where a Divine Emperor breeds believers is tantamount to attacking a Shattered Void of the sa realm who presides over at least a Thirteen Level Formation.
The remaining Demon Race relies on physical strength, incredibly formidable in head-on fights, but lacking in versatility of thods.
The Buddhist Cultivators from the Six Buddhist Temples specialize in bewildering the mind and spirit and target the psyche, the heart, the soul.
Alkaid has touched upon the concepts of 'Ghost Immortal, Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Deity, and Heavenly Immortal' through 'High-Dinsional Cognition'.
These cultivation systems ultimately point in the direction of so nascent forms of the five major classes of Immortals.
But as for how these paths will be walked when the ti cos, even Alkaid has not yet 'seen' it.
It is estimated...
That only after obtaining the 'Immortal Realm' will there be hope to fully glimpse the visage of the five major classes of Immortals.
"Since this matter involves interests of the hundreds of billions, or even trillions, as a mber of the Heavenly Dao Sect, I will also contribute my strength when the ti cos,"
Alkaid said, "If the Heavenly Dao Sect truly goes to war with the Light Divine Race, notify . I will be the first to arrive and lend support."
Zhen Xuanyuan and Chi Yun were montarily stunned.
This Dao Lord's ascension site was clearly discovered by Zong Wenxian. Even if Alkaid helps to crush the Light Divine Race, it is uncertain how much profit Zong Wenxian would share with him.
And when it cos to discussing contributions and rits afterward, as the person in charge, Zong Wenxian would undoubtedly take the lion's share.
No matter how much effort Alkaid puts forth, he might inevitably end up making the wedding garnt for Zong Wenxian.
However, considering Alkaid's formidable strength...
Nobody knows how things will ultimately turn out.
For now, Zhen Xuanyuan quickly nodded his head, "If Sect Leader Alkaid assists us, the Light Divine Race will truly be nothing to fear."
"Even though it takes a lot of ti for Dao Lords to receive ssages and return from the starry sky, and it is rare for a Dao Lord to end their journey plans for the sake of another Dao Lord's ascension site, the opening of the Gate of the Immortal Realm is ultimately not far off. In case the Dao Lord of the Light Divine Race returns early due to this matter, Sect Leader Zong's search for spatial nodes should be expedited."
Alkaid smiled, "If not feasible, I can also help."
Zhen Xuanyuan also managed a smile, "I believe Zong Wenxian will be very touched to know of Sect Leader Alkaid's enthusiasm."
Of course, these words were just for show.
Unless there is no other way, Zong Wenxian would never allow Alkaid to easily intervene in this matter.
At this mont, Alkaid smiled and turned to another topic, "Speaking of which, Sect Leader Zong really knows how to paint a pretty picture."
If he had known that this trillion-dollar project was not even set in stone, he definitely would have argued forcefully.
But now...
It's pointless.
The Golden Book Venerable clearly does not care about the internal power struggles within the Heavenly Dao Sect.
That attitude is...
As long as you don't fight, whatever you guys decide among yourselves is fine, just don't bother .
Zhen Xuanyuan's expression was full of embarrassnt, but he did not know what to say.
Accustod to a life of high status and power, his verbal skills had clearly declined.
It was Chi Yun, the Supre Elder, who thought of sothing and reminded them, "I rember, Bu Zhou True Monarch has returned, right? We must be cautious about this True Monarch."
Upon hearing this, Zhen Xuanyuan also beca a bit more solemn, "Bu Zhou True Monarch is one thing, but the key is Jing Hong True Monarch at the Star Core."
It seed he had thought of sothing, "Gu Li Supre has already left the Heavenly Dao Sect. If things go as expected, he's gone to et with Bu Zhou True Monarch. After Bu Zhou True Monarch learns of Sect Leader Alkaid's true strength, to ensure nothing goes wrong, he will certainly first go to the Star Core to invite Jing Hong True Monarch. If that True Monarch decides to support Bu Zhou and Gu Li..."
"When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass."
Alkaid spoke calmly, "I've long heard that Jing Hong True Monarch could be ranked within the top ten in terms of combat power in the Dao Lord candidate list. I also want to see if he truly lives up to his reputation as the rumors say."
Zhen Xuanyuan, considering Alkaid's strength and then comparing it to his own understanding of Jing Hong True Monarch...
The two of them seed indeed qualified to compete against each other.
"Well, my Shattered Void Ascension Ceremony is imminent. If you two Supres have so free ti, please help with the preparations."
Alkaid waved his hand.
"Sect Leader Alkaid's ascension to Shattered Void is a joyous occasion for our Heavenly Dao Sect, one that hasn't been seen in a millennium. We will certainly help with the arrangents, to highlight our Heavenly Dao Sect and even more so, to display Sect Leader Alkaid's grandeur."
Zhen Xuanyuan, including Chi Yun, replied with a smile.
At the sa ti, both of them also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
It looks like...
After annihilating the Jing Family, Sect Leader Alkaid isn't planning to continue stirring things up.
"Oh right, give a detailed profile of the Light Divine Race, Shattered Void and Refining Void mbers of the Yin Moon Sect."
As Alkaid spoke, he appeared to recall sothing and added, "Bring a compilation of all the Shattered Void and Refining Void information from the Northern Sea Star as well, along with the Dao Lord candidate list. You should have all these docunts on hand, right?"
"Of course."
Zhen Xuanyuan and Chi Yun, two Supre Elders, nodded, "We will have soone send it right away."
The intelligence system of the Heavenly Dao Sect was essentially under the control of Sect Leader Zong Wenxian, but each Supre Elder had their own additional intelligence network.
This network might not pay much attention to individuals below the Hollow Void Realm, but it certainly had a thorough understanding of all information regarding those in Hollow Void, Refining Void, and Shattered Void.
After a brief exchange, the two Supre Elders took their leave.
Soon, they had soone deliver the information Alkaid needed.
Alkaid reviewed it one by one.
However, his focus was still mainly on the near-at-hand Yin Moon Sect and Light Divine Race.
"The exact number of Shattered Voids in a sect is always an absolute secret; apart from the Supre Elders who stand at the top of the sect, even figures at the level of Vice Sect Leaders may not be fully aware. It is similarly difficult for others to ascertain specific numbers."
Alkaid looked through the information on the Yin Moon Sect and the Light Divine Race.
The Yin Moon Sect openly had ten Shattered Void Demon Cultivators.
However, it was certain that there were two more Shattered Void Demon Cultivators within the Star Core, making a confird total of twelve.
In the end, the intelligence system of Zhen Xuanyuan suggested that there were fifteen Demon Cultivators in the Yin Moon Sect, while the intelligence system of Chi Yun, the Supre Elder, estimated fourteen.
"Fourteen to fifteen, there shouldn't be much of a difference, at most around sixteen."
Alkaid contemplated.
Demon Cultivators cultivate faster than orthodox cultivators and thus have a higher number of experts.
However, it is evident from the ten gates of the Immortal Path and the Four Great Immortal Dynasties that Demon Cultivators' chances of becoming Dao Lords are much lower than those of normal cultivators.
Compared to Demon Cultivators, the Divine Race has a severe sense of exclusivity.
The Light Divine Race is already one of the strongest divine lineages among the Divine Race, capable of pressing down on others, second only to the Void Divine Race.
Even so, the Light Divine Race only has twelve Divine Emperors.
The number is very precise.
Twelve.
Because the Divine Race relies on the power of "Believers" and must establish Earthly Divine Kingdoms, they cannot keep it hidden.
Unless they have branches in the Extraterritorial Starry Sky, these twelve Divine Emperors represent the entire power of the Light Divine Race.
As for the forces beyond the starry skies…
They are often included in the standard categories.
The starry sky is vast.
To return to the Northern Sea Star from the depths of space, it would take one or two months if fast, or several years if slow. In the event of a full-scale war, extraterritorial forces simply won't arrive in ti.
Furthermore, forces like these extraterritorial powers are also possessed by the Heavenly Dao Sect.
The best example would be Jing Hong True Monarch, who practices alongside Jun Tian Dao Lord.
"I rember that the Light Divine Race deployed eight Divine Emperors to target Zong Wenxian and his group, didn't they? For the entire Divine Race, it's almost like leaving no stone unturned."
Alkaid calculated in his mind.
However, the Divine Race's combat power would diminish away from their Earthly Divine Kingdom, so to ensure absolute certainty, they would naturally mobilize more strength.
Furthermore, the enhancent of the Divine Emperor's power by the Divine Nation…
Having four Divine Emperors defending the Light Divine Race would be nearly as effective as having eight Shattered Voids.
Sufficient to ensure that the Light Divine Race's territory is utterly secure.
"Eight Divine Emperors, plus the Yin Moon Sect… The Yin Moon Sect has a total of fourteen to sixteen… Twelve to fourteen Shattered Void Demon Lords; if I refine and kill half, taking seven, it wouldn't be excessive…"
Seven Shattered Void Demon Cultivators plus eight Shattered Void Divine Emperors, about fifteen people.
However, among these there are the strong and the weak, and whether these fifteen can ensure that he successfully lays the foundation before entering the Dao Lord Realm is not guaranteed.
If they were all peak Shattered Voids like Zhen Xuanyuan, it would naturally not be a problem, but if it were those from the Eight Desolates or the forces of darkness…
The level might be sowhat lacking.
After pondering, Alkaid added another Demon Cultivator from the Yin Moon Sect to his calculations: "The Light Divine Race will behead eight Divine Emperors. If there are only seven Shattered Void Demon Lords from the Yin Moon Sect, it might seem a bit dismissive. Let's add one more, making it eight Shattered Void Demon Lords, to keep both sides on even footing and demonstrate fairness."
Of course, eight Shattered Void Divine Emperors and eight Shattered Void Demon Lords were just his ideal numbers.
He might not necessarily succeed in eliminating all these Shattered Void demons and divine beings.
But, if there's a shortfall, he could turn his attention to the Demon Race.
It seems that as long as he's willing to strike into the heart of the Demon Race, and as long as he doesn't go too deep, Penglai Dao Lord wouldn't mind providing him with protection.
When the ti cos, he can make up for any shortfall of heads with those from the Demon Race.
With that in mind, he started reviewing the Shattered Void information of these Divine Beings, Demon Cultivators, and Demon Race.
More precisely, he was reviewing the information of those top Shattered Voids eligible for the Dao Lord selection list.
Ordinary Shattered Voids could no longer pose a threat to him, but those Shattered Voids on the list of Dao Lord candidates might not be the case.
If he wanted to accumulate experience to enter the realm of the Dao Lord at the fastest rate, he naturally had to avoid these cultivators sowhat.
Of course, if they did not recognize the situation and ca to him on their own, Alkaid wouldn't mind settling the score with them.
