Jiang Fan learns that the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, a powerful ancient sect, has appeared on the West Continent and is encroaching on the Southern Continent with Void Refining Demon Cultivators. A divine message reveals a meeting of these cultivators at Mingyue Mountain in three days, presenting an opportunity to eliminate them and prevent widespread destruction.
Elsewhere on the Southern Continent of the Void Realm, Ancient Sect Cultivators were present, and not solely from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. Other Ancient Sects had also arrived, choosing to remain hidden and observe the continent's situation rather than acting rashly. "It's astonishing that a single sect now dominates this entire continent," one commented. "This Primordial Talisman Sect is truly powerful. Our intel suggests they are a Void Refining Sect." "While a mere Void Refining Sect holds little significance to us, within the Void Realm, it's considered a dominant force," another added. "Could this Primordial Talisman Sect share a connection with the ancient sect of the same name? Perhaps the ancient sect hasn't truly perished?" "Hehe, how could it not have perished?" scoffed a third. "All Ancient Forces that remained within the Void Realm have vanished, save for our own Ancient Forces that managed to escape." "If that's the case, then what exactly is this Primordial Talisman Sect?" the first cultivator questioned. "Is there even a need to ask?" came the reply. "It's undoubtedly a sect founded by cultivators of this era who inherited the Primordial Talisman Sect's legacy and obtained its inheritance. They likely have little connection to the sects of the Ancient Era." "Indeed, such occurrences are common in the current Void Realm. Some sects rise rapidly by receiving inheritances from ancient times. It's probably the same case with this Primordial Talisman Sect," another agreed. "Regardless, for a sect to develop to such an extent is quite astonishing," was the general sentiment. The many Cultivators from the Ancient Sects engaged in a lively discussion. They had been concealed on the Southern Continent for several years, gathering information about the Primordial Talisman Sect. For Void Refining Cultivators, acquiring such intelligence was relatively straightforward. By locating some Low-Tier Cultivators and performing a Soul Search, they could access many of their memories. While certain hidden details remained elusive, the information they had was more than sufficient. "However, our forces here on the Southern Continent are not particularly large; the Ten Thousand Demon Hall remains the dominant power," one observed. "There's little we can do about that," another replied. "The Ten Thousand Demon Hall established too many backdoors within the Void Realm. They possess numerous demon residences left by Ancient Demon Cultivators, allowing them to naturally dispatch more powerful figures." "Rumor has it that within the Southern Continent alone, there are twenty-eight Void Refining Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, with more reinforcements expected if things progress smoothly." "Damn the Ten Thousand Demon Hall! Is it not content with occupying the Western Continent of the Void Realm? Does it now intend to take over the Southern Continent entirely? Their greed knows no bounds." "But who can blame them, given their abundance of strong forces and deep influence? For opportunities and treasures, it's naturally first come, first served. Our sect isn't planning a full engagement just yet; we'll observe a bit longer." "Observe? If we continue to merely observe, all the treasures of the Void Realm will be claimed by the Ten Thousand Demon Hall. What will be left for us then?" a dissenting voice argued. "If we remain timid, how can we seize opportunities? Why not take action, destroy the Primordial Talisman Sect, and seize their treasures? A Void Refining Sect must possess many riches. I don't believe you are not tempted." "Hehe, it's not that simple. Don't forget what happened on the Eastern Continent previously; countless Cultivators entered the Cangwu Immortal Mansion, and none emerged. They all perished within. No matter how much the Void Realm has decayed, it was once the strongest world; the currents here are too treacherous. If you wish to die, don't drag me down with you." "Indeed. Who knows what hidden powers the Primordial Talisman Sect possesses? They might have truly inherited the essence of an Ancient Sect, and if they wished to crush us, it would be a matter of minutes." These Cultivators from the Ancient Sects gnashed their teeth, their argument revealing their conflicting plans. Some advocated for caution and continued information gathering, while others believed the native Cultivators of the Void Realm were weak and that they should act assertively to occupy territories and seize opportunities for maximum benefit. "Alright, alright, let's cease this argument; it serves no purpose," a voice of reason cut in. "According to my information, the Ten Thousand Demon Hall can no longer hold back. They have decided to gather their forces and unleash a beast tide to attack the Primordial Talisman Sect.""So, this is an opportunity, a grand chance to witness the Primordial Talisman Sect's might firsthand," remarked a Void Refining Cultivator, divulging crucial intelligence he had acquired. "Indeed? Has the Ten Thousand Demon Hall finally decided to act? I had suspected their lack of patience would lead to this." Another chimed in, a hint of amusement in his voice. "Excellent! Now that this is decided, there's no need for further debate. Let these envoys from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall be the ones to gauge the true strength of the Primordial Talisman Sect for us." A cultivator with a hearty laugh declared. "Precisely. Should the Primordial Talisman Sect prove unable to withstand the onslaught, we can seize the moment, breach their treasury, and seize the treasures belonging to this Void Refining Sect." A shrewd voice proposed. "Alternatively, if the enemy proves overwhelmingly powerful, easily annihilating the Void Refining Cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, then we shall retreat and lie in wait, avoiding any premature action." A cautious voice added. "And if both factions sustain heavy injuries, all the better! We can then sweep up the remnants of both forces in one fell swoop. In any scenario, the outcome benefits us." A calculating tone followed. "Heh, is it not overestimating this insignificant native Void Refining Sect? Do they truly believe they can obliterate Void Refining Cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demon Hall, as if those Demon Cultivators were mere pretenders?" A mocking voice scoffed. "This is merely one potential outcome. While the probability is indeed slim, it remains a possibility that must be accounted for, for anything can transpire in this world." A measured response concluded the discussion.
