Chapter 520: Chapter 98 - Western Sea Demon Sect [Seeking Monthly Tickets!]_1

The Western Sea Demon Sect has always been a significant branch within the overall Demon Sect.

The Demon Sect, as a collective of various evil sects, has been dominated by the Underworld King Sect over the years, and often the Sect Master of Underworld King is considered the leader of the Demon Sect.

However, the fragmentation within the Demon Sect might actually be worse than that within the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands. After all, they have neither mutual morals nor shared beliefs, and they are all ruthless individuals chasing their own gains, so it’s no surprise that they don’t unite.

The common name "Demon Sect" was established during the Ancient Times when a demonic cultivator whose magic skills were unmatched, rallied various sects that were heavily oppressed by the righteous path, binding them into a collective faction called the "Demon Sect". The only common point of all Demon Sect branches is their rejection by the righteous path.

This demonic cultivator was also known as the First Generation Demon Emperor.

Since then, the Demon Sect has operated the same way. It only unifies behind a powerful individual that emerged who seizes control over each branch with unparalleled martial arts. That individual will then earn the title "Demon Emperor". However, there have been very few who could claim this title throughout history, less than a handful.

When such an absolute powerful being does not exist, the Demon Sect is scattered. Each branch considers itself a part of the Demon Sect but does not acknowledge anyone as the common leader of the Demon Sect.

This generation’s Underworld King Sect Master was considered the most likely to become the contemporary Demon Emperor. He did contemplate doing so earlier when he took control of the Underworld King Sect, but even possessing Ksitigarbha’s True Body and the martial strength to challenge Tianyuan, he still could not unify the Demon Sect.

The biggest resistance he faced was from the Western Sea Demon Sect.

The so-called Western Sea Demon Sect is actually just a general term. It refers to the thirty-plus evil sects scattered on the islands within the Western Sea, among which Evil Dragon Mountain plays a dominating role.

Do know, the Underworld King Sect only fell into the Demon Sect after Heavenly Star Divine Sect fragmented. Before that, Western Sea was the holy ground of the Demon Sect, and from Evil Dragon Mountain came two Demon Emperors throughout history, thus implying that the Western Sea Demon Sect is the legitimate lineage.

As an outsider, the Underworld King Sect may have risen to become a powerful force within a short few hundred years, but the old branches of the Demon Sect, the Western Sea sects, still prestigious ones, sees them with disdain.

When the Underworld King Sect Master intended to suppress the many demons and ascend to the Demon Emperor’s throne, he was fiercely resisted by the Western Sea Demon Sect. At that time, the Underworld King Sect Master had just taken charge, and his base was not stable with severe internal frictions, so he halted his actions.

The internal resistance back then came from his left and right protectors, the Silver King and Purple Gold Marquis, who did not completely agree with him. Thus, on this matter, Purple Gold Marquis and the Western Sea Demon Sect could be said to have collaborated.

Later, the Underworld King Sect Master changed tactics. If they disagreed with my ascension to the Demon Emperor’s throne, then I will incorporate the entire Demon Sect into the Underworld King Sect.

The reason for his solicitation of the Netherworld Four Halls and the wholesale inclusion of people, was largely due to this factor.

Under the premise of benefits, Demon Sect disciples from all over scrambled to join the Underworld King Sect, and overnight, the sect’s influence inflated to its peak.

If the Underworld King Sect Master were to mention incorporating the entire Demon Sect at this time, he might not necessarily fail. It’s just a pity that he put that on hold, intending to first obtain the Breath of Hades, but met with great setbacks instead.

Given this context, it is reasonable for the Western Sea Demon Sect to bypass the Underworld King Sect Master and directly contact the Purple Gold Marquis for a big move.

However...

What are they planning?

...

As the Western Sea Demon Sect is close to the nations of the Western Sea Sword Country, their relationship can either be described as cordial neighbours or as sworn enemies. Their past disputes have always been intense.

Once, Evil Dragon Mountain gave rise to a certain Immortal Yuan Lu, who broke into the Eighth Realm wielding Tianyuan. If not for the protection from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, Suspended Sword Country was on the verge of being annihilated. The people from the Suspended Sword Country lived in fear every day, seriously considering relocation.

It wasn’t until the Suspended Sword Country produced a Sword Emperor much later on, who exterminated the surrounding Demon Sects in a circle, that the situation stabilised.

One can thus say that the Western Sea Demon Sect is currently relatively unstable, even in its own territories. How is it that they still have the leisure to meddle in the affairs of Yu Capital City and the Nine States Land?

Moreover, during the Immortal Sect’s grand assembly, masters from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands converged at Yu Capital City. What kind of foolish demonic cultivator would choose such a time to stir up trouble?

Upon unearthing this letter, Elder Chuan Jian immediately delivered it to Master Wen Yuan. There would naturally be some communication with the imperial court regarding the matter eventually.

As for Chu Liang, his cheerful unboxing journey is also coming to an end.

Likewise, most of the things he found were strange, sinister, harmful magical elixirs, artifacts, weapons, and cultivation techniques, which Chu Liang could not use at all.

There are only a handful of usable ones, with the most valuable naturally being the Soul Dream Flying Boat.

Truth be told, a Flying Boat is considered to be a class above the usual mounts. After all, even if the mount is a Spirit Beast, reaching the Sixth Realm is already considered an impressive feat. When it makes it to the Seventh Realm, it’s like reaching the heavens, and neither Demon or Spirit Beasts will continue to act as mounts for anyone.

However, a carefully refined luxurious Flying Boat is definitely more valuable than a Spirit Beast of the Sixth Realm. It offers the possibility to venture into the sky.

Within Taotie City, there’s a small sect named "Moyun Sect". It’s renowned across the Four Seas and Nine Continents for their unique art of refining Flying Boats that has been passed down for generations.

It takes the Moyun Sect about three to five years to forge a superior Moyun Flying Boat. Whoever possesses such a Flying Boat immediately represents a symbol of status and prestige.

That’s a unique secret technique. Although Taotie City accepts some shops to open branches on Red Cotton Peak, collaborators of this caliber are impossible to come by.

Chu Liang offered the Soul Dream Flying Boat to Wen Yulong to tinker with, intending for him to study the craft of Boat Refining. Maybe, just maybe, if one day he could forge something similar... wouldn’t that be marvelous?

After settling this bit, he then headed towards Biluo Peak.

He had arranged to meet Senior Sister Jiang.

Yesterday’s conversation was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Immortal Qi Jing just as it reached a critical point, which left him somewhat upset. Now that he was back in Shu Mountain, he hoped to have another talk with Jiang Yuebai.

Upon a sky-reaching ancient tree on Biluo Peak, Jiang Yuebai stood alone in the wind, her gaze distant and melancholic.

As she saw Chu Liang’s figure, she slowly revealed a subtle smile, "You have been quite busy, haven’t you?"

"Well, I acquired the Magical Storage Tool of the Purple Gold Marquis yesterday, and I wanted to inspect the haul." Chu Liang responded with a smile.

"A bountiful haul?" Jiang Yuebai asked.

"Average, not much of any use. These demonic cultivators mostly possess malicious items." Chu Liang responded.

Jiang Yuebai nodded lightly. Both of them fell silent – the atmosphere turning unexpectedly thick.

After a pause, both suddenly spoke in unison, "About yesterday..."

Chu Liang laughed again, "You go ahead."

It seemed that Senior Sister Jiang was not as indifferent as she appeared on the surface and was probably as nervous as he was. They nearly spilled everything out yesterday, so she must have had a lot on her mind.

"About yesterday... I gave it some thought," Jiang Yuebai slowly said, "I feel that we aren’t suitable to discuss personal relationships for now. Not until the Immortal Gate Conference is over... This time’s Immortal Gate Conference is crucial for Shu Mountain. If we drop out of the top ten again, we won’t be able to maintain our position among the Nine Heavens... we’ll both become sinners."

"Top ten..." Chu Liang thought for a while and said, "That shouldn’t be too hard, should it?"

He thought about the young generation of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect in his mind. As of today’s strength of Shu Mountain, even if the number one spot or top three weren’t stable, the top ten should be secure.

"It’s not that simple." Jiang Yuebai shook her head, "The Immortal Gate Conference isn’t only attended by those from the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands and various Immortal Sects. The Three Great Ancient Families... Well, now only two are left, in addition to the Regent Residence, overseas nations... All will have their own teams participating, as a way to verify the strength of their young generation. In each conference, they all claim a few spots in the top ten, sometimes even more than half."

"Is that so..." Chu Liang simply responded.

The basis of selecting the overseas nations and the forces of the Regent Residence are far greater than the Immortal Sects. By only selecting four from each young generation, their overall strength will naturally be extremely competitive. With this in mind, it’s not so easy for the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect to make it to the top ten.

Of course, the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect also has its foundation here, even if there are times when they are not as prominent, and it is quite challenging to consecutively miss the top ten.

Being in a precarious state like Shu Mountain is not easy.

"Before the Immortal Gate Conference, we will probably have a round of training and we should close ourselves off for a period of time to cultivate," Jiang Yuebai said, "During this time, we should focus on improving our strength. If we can achieve good results in this Immortal Gate Conference, then like yesterday..."

As she said this, a mist seemed to gather in her eyes. Chu Liang felt that she seemed to have other thoughts.

He wondered if this had anything to do with her meeting Immortal Qi Jing yesterday.

Seeing her hesitant manner, Chu Liang simply gave her a reassuring smile: "I understand."
