Chapter 805: Chapter 691: War Clouds (Extended Chapter) Part 2
There was never a need to walk on empty space, never an opportunity to truly look at one’s sect.
"Alas, the comprehension of Space Law is too profound, entering and exiting is too convenient, which isn’t good either."
From the pavilion where he was, looking down, was the grand hall of the sect, along with the residences of many elders of the Tao Sect—though most of them were not staying in the sect.
Tang Yu walked all the way to the training area, didn’t encounter a single disciple on the way.
There were more disciples over at the training area. From time to time, Eileen, Kong, and others would preach and teach within the sect, and in the end, they would casually assign some assignments, which could earn sect points upon completion based on the grading.
"This time, we must cultivate the Vine Dragon."
In the experimental field delineated at the slope, a group of young boys and girls looked tense and excited.
A young man in formal attire carefully took out a small jade bottle and sprinkled it onto the dug-up soil.
"Next, it’s my turn, Small Rainfall Technique!"
The wind rose, clouds gathered into droplets, pouring down.
Suddenly, it was a torrential rain.
"It’s too much, too much! Slow down the Source Power output!"
Tang Yu watched as these sect disciples made their moves one after another, displaying various magic.
"Great Fertilization Technique!"
"Tree Realm Sacrifice!"
"Life Surge!"
"Holy Light Illumination!"
"Super Speed Split!"
Visibly, a tender green shoot broke through the ground.
The young vine wove together, growing rapidly, becoming taller and taller.
Within just a few minutes,
The entwined green vine, resembling a massive python, grew over ten meters long.
"We succeeded!"
The sect disciples cheered, "The spell I’ve longed for can finally be redeemed!"
Thump~ Thump~ Thump Thump~!
The ground suddenly trembled, then violently exploded, sending countless rubble flying.
Some sect disciples used magic to shield against the flying rocks, others agilely dodged away.
Amid a cloud of swirling dust, the Vine Dragon burst from the ground, darting to the distance.
More than a dozen sect disciples stood dumbfounded.
It took two or three seconds before someone reacted, shouting, "Quick, stop it, don’t let our work run away!"
...
Tang Yu: "..."
Could it be that this sect master has been in closed-door meditation for too long? Not quite understanding?
"Even a newly born Vine Dragon has the strength of the Body-shaping Realm, once matured, it should be formidable."
"Did the disciples develop this on their own?"
He couldn’t recall the sect ever cultivating a demon plant like the Vine Dragon.
Tang Yu released his spiritual power to observe for a while, noting that the training area was not just this ’assignment team,’ perhaps ’research team’ was more accurate.
Compared to people on Sky Blue Star, the younger generation of the Mountain and Sea World somewhat had a foundation.
Under Eileen and the others’ guidance, they achieved some results shortly after entry.
Once the Vine Dragon-type demon plant is perfected, if it can be cultivated on a large scale, using it for constructing defense lines might be more effective than simple rune walls.
...
At the same time,
Seven Lustrous Federation, Red Lustrous City.
The Great Cabinet Elder of Red Lustrous returned, disheveled.
"Silently, the White Feather Clan and Green Hill Mountain’s Fox Clan were recruited by the Tao Sect."
He was already worried that under the offensive of high-end resources such as Divine Weapon and Original Recovery Medicine from the "Treasure Pavilion," small and medium forces might waver.
On the surface, they agreed to follow behind the Federation to jointly resist the Tao Sect, but secretly they leaked their information to the Human Race.
The Great Cabinet Elder of Red Lustrous realized this and discreetly went to White City with a few senior clan members to negotiate with the White Feather Clan.
Could top-tier forces possibly be swayed by the Tao Sect?
Divine Domain Realm Divine Weapon, Original Recovery Medicine, Array, rune technology, etc., top forces have everything.
On the contrary, White City with a Transmission Array must be influenced by Tao Sect.
As for the Fox Clan?
Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder also prepared means to win them over, and the relationship between Beastman and Human Race has always been bad.
He is confident in winning over several top forces and delivering a Thunderbolt Strike to the Human Race before Tao Sect establishes itself.
However...
Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder frowned, "Impossible that in just a few months, the White Feather Clan and Fox Clan have been won over, it must be Tao Sect’s arrangement."
"Now that I think about it carefully, Tao Sect doesn’t seem like a force lacking in foundation, whether it’s the Transmission Arrays distributed in many places on the continent, or the almost abyss-like amount of Divine Weapons, all indicate...
Tao Sect has thoroughly emerged on the surface, although only for a few months, secretly, it likely has been planning for tens of thousands of years!"
Red Lustrous Great Cabinet Elder the more he thought, the more it seemed reasonable.
"Humans are the most numerous singular race, scattered all over the continent, yet no top experts have emerged among them, this is clearly abnormal... the only possibility is that the true heavenly prides of the Human Race have long been taken away, and even the weakness of the Human Race is deliberately orchestrated by Tao Sect, only a weak and coreless race, would other races allow humans to live peacefully within their nations.
Thus, many Human Race plans can be executed more smoothly, such as even within our Seven Lustrous Federation, there might be Transmission Arrays of Tao Sect.
Tens of thousands of years of endurance erupting, by the looks of it, I can’t view humans with the eyes of looking at the nouveau riche anymore.
This is a race that has already converted its war potential into strength! Moreover, they might have plans that I don’t know about on the continent, even in the Endless Sea!"
...
The next day, Tang Yu looks at a confidential letter from the Intelligence Department, silent and speechless.
What happened?
Why was the Seven Lustrous Federation previously looking at them like a predator, sending out many to probe, now they look shrunken and defensive?
I didn’t even attack them?!
Grandmaster Tang is bewildered again.
Despite relentless probing, the Intelligence Department is unable to obtain any information from the Seven Lustrous Federation’s high levels, only from the White Feather Clan’s side, came the news that the Seven Lustrous Federation is planning to join forces with some to deal with Tao Sect.
The White Feather Clan also mentioned in the letter that they could send experts for support when needed.
Tang Yu ponders and still doesn’t understand what happened.
Even if the White Feather Clan is on their side, doesn’t the Seven Lustrous Federation still have a great advantage?
I was somewhat worried originally!
"As for the aid from the White Feather Clan?"
Tang Yu never thought of relying on other clans, relationships between races are more about interests, just like the area where White City is located, still uses the Transmission Array of the White Feather Clan, and the White Feather Clan might favor the potential of Tao Sect...
At most, sell them goodwill.
Ultimately, the only thing that can be relied upon is one’s own fists.
Yes, the fists of his followers.
"A union of several top forces, although the threat level is not high, yet it could affect Tao City, since Tao City is about to turn from negative income to positive income, if war breaks out..."
The impact would surely not be small, many foreign races, including the Human Race itself, many forces will choose to observe.
"But it’s also an opportunity, now although many properties in Tao City have been sold, few forces have truly invested large resources into Tao City, they still have worries, still watching... only if Tao Sect faces top forces without flinching, can it truly stand firm."
Tang Yu calculates combat power.
Eileen, Nancy, and Kong, with the blessing of Telekinesis value, can face Invincible Strongmen directly, even slightly overcome them.
Pure fighting ability is strongest in Nancy, but Eileen has Holy Artifact.
"With Holy Artifact in hand, Eileen might not fall short against Holy Tier? Even suppress?"
"However, are the Dragon Emperor and those two to three National Guardian Holy Tiers in the Empire somewhat weak?"
It’s not that he looks down on those Holy Tier experts of the Dragon Emperor, but rather, the Holy Tiers in the Endless Sea are somewhat weak, an Invincible Strongman with an Incomplete Holy Artifact can easily escape from the hands of Holy Tier.
Then this Sect Master might as well use Instant Teleportation to play tricks on Holy Tier?
"Back then the presence of the Holy Tier in the Devil Race camp, across the endless stars, that terrifying aura already enveloped the entire Aino world... though that may not be an ordinary Holy Tier, but more likely, the Holy Tiers of Dragon Emperor and the like aren’t complete bodies? Possibly Semi-Saint? Pseudo Holy? Quasi-Saint?
But they evidently possess some characteristics of the Holy Tier, like infinite lifespan? At least haven’t heard of any Holy Tier dying of old age.
The Holy Tiers on the continent might be more than in the Endless Sea, but generally, should be about equal."
Grey Blade, Greta, Fani, Lorraine and others are second-tier combat power, but slightly inferior to Invincible Strongman, much higher than pirate generals.
And also the Combined Attack secret technique ’Infinite’ obtained from the Emperor of the Sea’s treasure.
"Even if the Seven Lustrous Federation has joined several forces, my Tao Sect is not lacking in combat power, yet there’s not much advantage either."
Might be able to fend off those invading, but heavy damage is unlikely.
Tang Yu doesn’t want it to develop into a lengthy war, as that would go against his initial intention of making money.
"The array isn’t strong enough, but apart from territory blessing, it seems I’ve forgotten another trump card."
