Longevity Martial Arts: Starting from Inner Core Skill - Chapter 992 - 43: Harassment
Chapter 992: Chapter 43: Harassment
Long before discovering the “Soul Devouring Evil Technique,” Long Yue and Yuanhua had already sent people to investigate.
However, even though living beings are scarce in the Devouring Sect and most worlds are destroyed, the situation is even more complex. It’s difficult to infiltrate, and even harder to send out information.
Moreover, the method to enhance top-tier Saint Emperors is clearly the greatest secret of the Devouring Sect, not something easily obtained.
This time, the news was able to be returned because the Devouring Sect had begun a massive invasion, allowing the infiltrators to return with it.
Upon receiving the news, Long Yue immediately informed all the top-tier Saint Emperors.
“Daoist Wu Sheng’s Virtual World is really useful; not only is it easy to communicate, but it can also simulate cultivation,” Yuanhua sighed as he logged into the Virtual World.
Having experienced the convenience of the Virtual World for several days, he was very aware of its potential.
If a newborn world possessed the Virtual World, it would grow extremely quickly and smoothly.
“Unfortunately, it isn’t very useful for the Twelfth Realm,” Long Yue felt it was a pity. If it could help the Twelfth Realm as it does other realms, the value of the Virtual World would increase infinitely.
“That’s too much praise!” He was well aware of the Virtual World’s power.
Its uselessness for the Twelfth Realm is merely temporary.
As long as the “Lifeless Vacuum Sensing Chapter” is enhanced or his cultivation level improves, the capabilities of the Virtual World can continue to strengthen, eventually allowing it to simulate even the Twelfth Realm.
However, there was no need to mention this.
After a simple response, Wang Sheng turned to Long Yue, “Daoist Long Yue said that you already know how the Devouring Sect has elevated someone to the level of a top-tier Saint Emperor. What exactly is the method?”
Speaking of serious matters, Long Yue restrained his expression and said, “Indeed, I found out. The intelligence agents I dispatched returned from the brink of death, informing me that the Devouring Sect has blocked at least 50% of the Star Domain, prohibiting any cultivators below the Saint Emperor level from entering. They managed to obtain some information; in the blocked Star Domain, most likely, there are no living beings left.”
“I received similar intelligence here as well,” Yuanhua added.
“Fifty percent of the Star Domain’s living beings disappearing seems like they were devoured, which would be the worst-case scenario,” the Star Beast Ancestor said in a somewhat somber tone.
Wang Sheng also remained silent.
Regarding how the Devouring Sect cultivated three top-tier Saint Emperors, Wang Sheng had always speculated.
Devouring their own living beings and worlds was one possibility.
It was also the worst news.
“Simple devouring cannot directly elevate one to top-tier Saint Emperor; otherwise, even if it harmed their lifespan, the Devouring Sect would have done it long ago and not delayed until now. They likely have a secret method.”
“The secret method doesn’t matter; the important thing is that devouring worlds and life to enhance strength is something we can hardly counteract.”
This is where the problem lies.
Devouring life and worlds to increase strength is the simplest and most unassuming method, yet the one we are least able to restrict.
Otherwise, the Devouring Sect wouldn’t have developed to its current extent.
After a moment of silence, Yuanhua continued, “Since there’s no way to counteract it, we must guard against the Devouring Sect continuing to sacrifice life and worlds. If another or even more top-tier Saint Emperors appear, the situation will become very dire…”
“If they want to devour the remaining half, the Devouring Sect will certainly have disputes, after all, they also need Mother World’s advancement to improve strength, and they need to consider the thoughts of other Saint Emperors in their camp. But if it comes to the most critical situation, anything could happen,” Long Yue said.
The remaining half of the Star Domain cannot be easily devoured.
Yet they all know that if it comes to the most critical moment when they are about to be destroyed, anything is possible.
“Then we need to keep a close watch on that front. If there’s any sign of this, it must be stopped.”
“Understood!”
Wang Sheng didn’t interject; he certainly wasn’t as familiar with the Devouring Sect’s arrangements as Yuanhua and Long Yue.
For instance, Feixian Star and Shattered Star Sacred Land have secret hands within the Devouring Sect.
Thus, some matters are best left to them.
As for the Star Beast Ancestor, it purely doesn’t want to get involved in these matters.
Of course, Long Yue and Yuanhua definitely wouldn’t ignore him and the Star Beast Ancestor.
“What do the two of you think?”
“Let’s proceed as the two Daoists have discussed!” Wang Sheng naturally wouldn’t object.
“I second that,” the Star Beast Ancestor’s words were even simpler.
Finally, Wang Sheng offered a suggestion, “In addition, we need to harass them from time to time, drawing out those three Saint Emperors with lifespan problems and seeing if we can find any weaknesses.”
“Indeed, passively waiting for the Devouring Sect’s actions is not feasible. The best approach is still to find a method to limit them,” Long Yue nodded, agreeing with Wang Sheng’s proposal.
With two people’s consent, the Star Beast Ancestor would only concur.
Yuanhua naturally had no reason to oppose, especially since he also agreed with this action.
They are the defending side, but they cannot always defend.
They must also attack proactively, putting pressure on the Devouring Sect.
“This is also good; constantly applying pressure to the Devouring Sect’s top-tier Saint Emperors can also prevent them from continuously devouring life and worlds to enhance strength to some extent.”
This intelligence might seem simple yet is extremely important.
After discussions, they finally settled on a plan against the Devouring Sect.
Of course, this is a Saint Emperor level contention.
It is not directly related to other cultivators.
Starting from the Eleventh Realm, most cultivators across realms have already been drawn into the war.
Between the Saint Emperors, the Devouring Sect and Conquest Sect are essentially evenly matched.
Yet below the Saint Emperor level, even if the Devouring Sect has fewer cultivators, by virtue of its bloodthirsty cultivation mechanism and various deceitful methods, the Devouring Sect still holds a certain advantage in the short term.
