Chapter 1048: Chapter 566: Before the Battle, Intelligence of the Chaotic Demon Sea
As soon as Senior Brother Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch finished speaking, Jiang Shu shook his head.
Others thought he had ventured deep into the Demon Domain, but actually, he had always been in the Chaotic Demon Sea, merely traversing the Two Realms without revealing his traces.
Of course, this was his greatest secret, naturally, he wouldn’t speak about it.
"Although I stayed in the Demon Race territory for a while, I was being hunted all the time and really couldn’t find the time."
He spoke briefly, and although the three senior brothers were a bit disappointed upon hearing this, it was within expectation.
After all, the Demon Domain is not like the Endless Sea and the Chaotic Demon Sea; the Demon Domain is like the interior of the Cang Mang Domain and even has a Demon Venerable stationed there.
Even with Jiang Shu’s late-stage Vientiane Realm combat power, he is insignificant in front of a Demon Venerable.
"In a short while, Junior Brother has broken through from the early-stage to the late-stage of the Vientiane Realm, and now his reputation is at its peak. Not to mention he was the foremost true inheritor of our Eight Great Sects before; I see even some Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm are no match for you."
"It’s just a pity that this war began too hastily. If given enough time, Junior Brother might even advance to the Chaos Hole Realm Daoist Venerable, at which point venturing into the Demon Domain would surely yield more discoveries."
Jiang Shu waved his hand repeatedly, smiling as he spoke: "Senior Brother is joking, my recent fortunes have just been somewhat prosperous. Senior Brother, you have always been guarding the Underground Abyss, repelling countless demon threats. If you focused on cultivation, you might have already advanced to the Vientiane Realm, and now, you might even attempt the middle stage of the Vientiane Realm."
"Second Senior Brother seems to remain at the Nirvana Realm Peak now, but he has been handling sect affairs for years. You see, as the battle begins, he finds some time to cultivate, and his realm quickly advances, fully expecting to break through in the shortest time. By that time, he will be a pillar in the True Martial Sect with his previous accumulation from handling sect affairs."
"As for Third Senior Brother, there’s no need to mention, with his innate Artifact Refining and Pill Refining Dao Seed, once he advances to Daoist Monarch, he can mass refine Dao Artifacts, building the foundation of our True Martial Sect. The three senior brothers can stay in the True Martial Sect long-term, contributing greatly to it."
"As for me, Junior Brother, who often seeks opportunities outside, what time do I have at the True Martial Sect? The future of our True Martial Sect depends on you all."
Jiang Shu flattered his senior brothers a bit, and they glanced at each other and laughed heartily.
"Junior Brother, do you have any thoughts about taking action against them? With your reputation, you could organize a team. Moreover, during your absence, Dao Yi Sect has been acting continuously, clearly trying to stabilize their reputation as the top sect."
"But I believe that now you’ve returned, it’s better to make other sects see the foundation of our True Martial Sect. If the war ends someday, the situation of the Eight Great Sects will be rewritten. Our True Martial Sect can advance further."
Laughingly, Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch suddenly said.
Becoming a Daoist Monarch isn’t just a breakthrough in realm.
It’s also an elevation of vision.
Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch’s vision has risen from personal to sect matters.
This suggestion suddenly came to him, serving a dual purpose.
Taking action against them?
Jiang Shu’s eyes flashed with light.
Instead of wasting time here, letting the Demon Race achieve their goal of stalling for time, it would be better to take the initiative and completely disrupt their rhythm.
But this made the choice of personnel critical.
Jiang Shu initially didn’t have this idea, as traversing the Two Realms made secrecy paramount, making individual action safer than a group.
But Senior Brother’s words made sense, and since he made a rare return, he could use this opportunity to elevate the reputation of the True Martial Sect further.
"If Senior Brother is free, why not accompany me on a trip."
Third Senior Brother’s cultivation is too low, Second Senior Brother needs this time to consolidate his foundation and focus on breaking through the realm, really can’t spare his hand.
Thunder Shock Daoist Monarch was just waiting for these words.
"That’s exactly what I intend."
Jiang Shu, known for acting swiftly, immediately stood up and headed straight to the Great Hall of the True Martial Sect after making up his mind.
"Taking people into the Demon Domain again?"
The Supreme Sect Leader frowned deeply.
In his view, Jiang Shu, having just emerged from repeated battles in the Demon Domain, should focus on restoring his state now.
Battles among the powerful are highly intense, requiring full concentration and ensuring no slightest mistake.
For even a slight oversight could likely lead to defeat in warfare.
As for the reputation of the True Martial Sect, it can be delayed.
Jiang Shu’s realm and his safety are more important than anything else.
"It’s impossible to enter the Demon Domain now. I just want to take people for a round in the Chaotic Demon Sea. On my return trip, I spotted traces of Demon Race armor in the Chaotic Demon Sea, maybe we can follow the clues and learn some intelligence."
On the Demon Domain Continent above, there’s likely heavy defense, possibly even a peak Demon Monarch stationed.
If it were just him alone, Jiang Shu might take some risks and enter for a look, but he must consider others.
"Since you’ve made up your mind, then go ahead."
"You are the Deputy Sect Master of the True Martial Sect, free to command all personnel."
Jiang Shu is no longer a fledgling under their protection; he has grown stout wings, with his own ideas, soaring above the nine heavens.
The Supreme Sect Leader won’t refuse him, just some concern remains.
