Chapter 1062: Chapter 573: Battle Against the Half-step Demon Venerable Realm, Swift and Decisive!
Jiang Shu is exceptionally important to the True Martial Sect.
To some extent, Jiang Shu’s life even surpasses that of the Daoist Venerable!
For this Elder, he would rather face death himself than see Jiang Shu suffer any mishap due to this great battle.
"Elder Tao, please look."
Jiang Shu smiled slightly, although his energy wasn’t particularly focused on the True Martial Sect. However, he has a basic understanding of these top Vientiane Realm combatants, the Elders and Peak Masters.
This Elder Tao was once a Peak Master in his early years, and later attempted to comprehend the Space Dao, retreating in solitude within the True Martial Sect. Unfortunately, despite multiple retreats, all attempts failed, leaving him in the Vientiane Realm.
In the past, he was rather unapproachable, and his reputation among disciples was not very good.
But upon seeing him today, it’s clear that all his actions prioritize the sect above all.
Jiang Shu extended his hand, flipping his palm to summon the Three Holy Embryos with a sound of breaking through space, gray Dao Patterns interwoven into an Earth Vein projection covering the Great Hall.
When the thirty-sixth blood-red vortex emerged in the projection, each Peak Master and Elder suddenly raised their heads, witnessing shattered porcelain pieces coalesce in mid-air into various totems.
"Just yesterday, my informant reported."
"The Demon Race is already mobilizing greatly, our time is running short."
Jiang Shu’s fingertip tapped on the phantom, and his formidable cultivation permeated the image.
The scene of the underground prison was thoroughly displayed.
Tens of thousands of half-demons were pierced through their clavicles by bone-eroding chains, bound beside the furnace, with bone-eating worms attached to the chains, gnawing on flesh. The blood and flesh crystals in the furnace suddenly exploded, the splattered crimson liquid unexpectedly coagulating in mid-air into the ancient demon script for ’help’.
Blood-red patterns pulsated like living blood vessels, drawing spiritual energy from the Chaotic Demon Sea towards the depths of the Demon Domain, where nine inverted bronze coffins lay.
Each coffin’s surface was cracked, with viscous chaotic aura seeping through the fissures.
From within the coffins, strands of azure aura streamed out, merging into the world, intending to elevate the entire world’s level in the Demon Domain.
"They want to smelt the entire continent!"
The Supreme Sect Leader’s gaze remained fixed on the screen, and in front of him, a casting had just been completed and was swiftly shattered by him again.
"Sealed within the coffins are powerful residual souls, and the Demon Race’s Venerables intend to use their Dao Practice as a primer, combined with countless Demon Race life essences, forcibly raising the level."
"Unfortunately, just at that moment, there were Demon Venerables of the Demon Race who realized I was divining. This matter is significant, Jiang Shu, you may not need to bear everything yourself. The Eight Great Sects are interconnected, now is the time to involve the other sects together."
With the Supreme Sect Leader’s words, the remaining Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarchs within the sect also began to be silent and solemn.
They could all see the great calamity within this war.
At this moment, Jiang Shu flicked his fingers to toss down three Dao Pattern seeds, which took root and transformed into three Dragon Tribe corpses.
Pursuit markers on the corpse surfaces were cocooned by Taichu Dao Rhyme, and beneath all eyes, they exploded into specks of light filling the sky.
"I can simulate a bloodline outbreak. I am the best candidate to infiltrate the Demon Race. Moreover, I possess means of survival too, please rest assured, Supreme Sect Leader and Peak Masters and Elders."
Jiang Shu clasped his hands in salute and spoke more clearly.
This time, the Supreme Sect Leader remained silent, but beside him, the Cangming Daoist Venerable flicked a white jade token from his sleeve, with an ancient aura sprawling across its surface,
The token engraved with the ancient character for ’Suppress’ suddenly came to life, hovering in front of Jiang Shu.
"Although I have yet to formally comprehend the Time Dao, my previous cultivation has provided some slight enlightenment and gains. This token can, in times of need, put everything within ten thousand miles into a state of pause for a general Demon Venerable’s strike, capable of trapping a Demon Venerable for two to three breaths."
"Young man, I know you have received countless great opportunities to cultivate to such a realm. But no matter how great the opportunity, preserving life must come first. Life is singular, survival measures are never too many."
"This token can be used only once, be cautious in its use."
The token’s fluctuation made the space around seem to fall into silence.
Everyone’s gaze was filled with shock.
No one expected the Cangming Daoist Venerable to have such means.
Even Jiang Shu, was somewhat delighted, bowing to receive the token and loudly saying, "Thank you, Ancestor!"
Cangming Daoist Venerable nodded with a smile, then turned to the crowd and said, "Can’t you see, the decision this lad made, no one can alter."
"Rather than discussing meaningless ramblings, it’s better to give him something practical for protection."
"Alright, in terms of opportunity and resources, I naturally can’t compare to Daoist Monarch Taixuan, but I have an ancient array obtained in the past. Though it can’t stop a Daoist Venerable, it can slightly obscure the Qi Mechanism. Of course, this obscuration is very brief, with no significant meaning in the eyes of a Demon Venerable. But if combined with Cangming Daoist Venerable’s token, it might have a miraculous effect."
Elder Tao took a deep breath, finally sighing deeply, and brought out his oldest possessions.
The other Peak Masters and Elders also revealed their opportunities and resources.
Every piece of these opportunities and resources is incredibly precious, enough for some Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarchs to advance further.
But now, everyone only hopes that Jiang Shu can preserve his life within the Demon Race.
Within the Sea Suppressing Hall of the True Martial Sect, radiance circulated.
The Supreme Sect Leader gazed steadily at the white-clothed figure in the center, finally no longer persisting in dissuasion.
"Ah, still can’t dissuade you."
"Take this."
