I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Demon Spirit Sect.

In the cave residence of Supreme Elder Pang Feng, the Demon Spirit Sect Leader had come to report some important news.

"Supreme Elder, a Foundation Establishment Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect has made a move in our sect’s Earth Realm."

"What are the specifics? Did the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Spirit Refiner attack first?" Pang Feng asked immediately upon hearing this.

He was already aware of some news regarding the Celestial Demon Sect’s Earth Realm.

The Celestial Demon Sect was more than happy to share such information with them.

"Not exactly an unprovoked attack," the Demon Spirit Sect Leader said, having organized his thoughts. "This Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect only began attacking the Foundation Establishment cultivators of our vassal forces after being discovered."

Unlike what had happened in the Celestial Demon Sect’s Earth Realm, the ones attacked were not the sect’s own Foundation Establishment Elders, but cultivators from their vassal forces.

The nature of this incident was somewhat different.

’Attacking only after being discovered... That means if he hadn’t been found, he would have remained hidden...’

Supreme Elder Pang Feng fell silent and began to ponder.

Previously, if a Foundation Establishment Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect was discovered in their Demon Spirit Sect’s Earth Realm, they would have certainly chosen to flee quickly, not launch an attack.

Typically, any clashes within their Earth Realm only ever involved Spirit Refiners at the Qi Refining Stage.

Incidents like that were minor and not worth worrying about.

"Supreme Elder, I think that after growing stronger, the Celestial Cloud Sect has also gotten arrogant," the Demon Spirit Sect Leader said, sharing the conclusion of his analysis.

He had reached this conclusion based on the information he had gathered.

"To be precise, it’s probably not that the Celestial Cloud Sect has gotten arrogant," Supreme Elder Pang Feng said, agreeing with the Demon Spirit Sect Leader’s view while also adding more specific details. "It’s more likely that the decision-making of the Celestial Cloud Sect’s upper echelon has taken a radical turn. This is almost certainly directly related to that Spirit Refiner Sword Cultivator. Just think, she even went straight to the Celestial Demon Sect’s headquarters."

"The Supreme Elder is absolutely right," the Demon Spirit Sect Leader said with a compliment, then immediately asked, "What should we do in response to the Celestial Cloud Sect’s actions?"

The decision on this matter was already beyond his authority as the Demon Spirit Sect Leader.

The matters he could decide on were all considered minor by the sect’s upper echelon, and he didn’t need to report them in person.

"Just respond as usual."

"Yes, Supreme Elder."

The Demon Spirit Sect Leader nodded. This so-called "responding as usual" meant there was no need to be overly concerned about the matter, nor was there a need to take the same kind of action against the Celestial Cloud Sect as they did last time.

"If that mysterious Spirit Refiner appears in our Earth Realm, you must report it immediately."

"Yes!"

"During the last great war, that mysterious Spirit Refiner already had a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation. By now, he has almost certainly reached the Peak of Foundation Establishment, so we must be even more careful."

The Demon Spirit Sect Leader once again acknowledged his understanding.

After the Demon Spirit Sect Leader departed, Supreme Elder Pang Feng decided to discuss this matter with the Celestial Demon Sect.

The Celestial Cloud Sect of today was not the same as before. Now that they were no longer holing up, it would lead to more of their Spirit Refiners appearing in the other sects’ Earth Realms.

However, it was clear the Celestial Cloud Sect was still more focused on the Celestial Demon Sect.

If anything were to truly happen, the Celestial Demon Sect would be the first to have problems. Thinking this, Pang Feng felt more at ease.

They just had to adapt to the changes that came with the Celestial Cloud Sect’s rise in power.

...

Inside the Black Ghost Cave.

News similar to what the Demon Spirit Sect received had already spread among their upper echelon.

Compared to the Demon Spirit Sect and the Celestial Demon Sect—two Demon Core Formation Sects—and even the Celestial Cloud Sect, the upper echelon of the Black Ghost Cave rarely participated in sect affairs.

They would only surface for truly important matters.

This matter was very important!

After all, a Foundation Establishment Spirit Refiner from the Celestial Cloud Sect had never taken action in their Earth Realm before.

This was an absolute first.

"I assume everyone is aware of the news."

It was a rare occasion for the high-ranking Ghost Cultivators of the Black Ghost Cave to convene a meeting.

The sect’s entire upper echelon consisted of five Core Formation cultivators.

Among these five, three were at the mid-stage of Core Formation.

This was a result of their long periods of cultivation; by not participating in the daily affairs of the sect, they had more time to train.

"I think this is actually quite normal. After all, we’ve increased the intensity of our own operations in the Celestial Cloud Sect’s Earth Realm. Their current actions are simply a counterattack."

"I’ll add one thing: their counterattack is definitely backed by their strength."

"JIE JIE JIE, what nonsense! We rarely call a meeting, so can you stop spouting such obvious drivel? If the Celestial Cloud Sect hadn’t grown stronger, we wouldn’t have intensified our actions against them. Historically, back when they were weak enough, we even helped them out."

"Second Cave Master, do you have anything to say?"

The high-ranking members of the Black Ghost Cave were all addressed as Cave Master.

They were distinguished by the order in which they had entered the Core Formation Stage.

If a high-ranking member passed away, the titles would shift up accordingly.

However, the amount of power they held within the sect depended on their Realm and strength.

Currently, the most powerful figure in the sect was the Second Cave Master, who was at the Late-stage of Core Formation.

"This matter was unexpected, but upon reflection, it’s also logical," the Second Cave Master of the Black Ghost Cave finally spoke. "The Celestial Cloud Sect has been suppressed for over a thousand years. It’s only natural that their decision-making would change as their power grows.

If you ask me, as long as none of our Elders die at their hands, there’s no need for any major moves. But if that situation does occur, then we will have to give the Celestial Cloud Sect a ’surprise.’"

"Isn’t it inappropriate to act just for a single Elder? If we give the Celestial Cloud Sect a ’surprise,’ it will be a genuine surprise for the Celestial Demon Sect."
