Realm-Hopping Martial Master

"Supreme Sect Leader, the gains from this time are truly substantial..."

Jiang Shu maintained a calm expression, his words transmitted through spiritual messaging, speaking in a deep tone.

"In our exploration here, we discovered the presence of the Demon Venerables. After dealing with them, we found a fragment of a minor world."

"Within it, we found a Jianmu Seedling, claimed to be one of the three Great Divine Woods."

Jianmu!?

Upon hearing this, even Taiwu Daoist Venerable, with his millennium of experience, couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

That’s Jianmu, once in its prime, even worshipped by the Demon Race as a Divine Tree.

Now, after all these years, this Divine Tree has been hidden in such a desolate place, and even more astonishingly, it has once again fallen into the hands of the Human Clan.

"Cultivate it carefully, and don’t let others know."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable unhesitatingly transmitted this message.

Although Jianmu is just a seedling, which of these sects hasn’t lasted over a thousand years?

Spending another few thousand years would be enough to cultivate Jianmu.

By then, the foundation of the True Martial Sect will be elevated once more!

"Rest assured."

Jiang Shu promptly nodded.

He has always prospered silently, why would he easily spread news of Jianmu?

As for the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Puppet Sect?

The two sides are already in an alliance, and even in the future, they might share this Jianmu, so how could they let other sects get involved?

Especially the Dao Yi Sect.

This area originally belonged to the Dao Yi Sect. Now that a Jianmu Seedling has been unearthed here, if the Heaven Puppet Sect Sect Leader reveals the news,

Once the Dao Yi Sect gets involved, even Jianmu might need to be shared.

There’s no need for excessive conversation among the wise, Jiang Shu believes that the Supreme Sect Leader understands this principle.

In a brief moment, Jiang Shu recounted the matters about Jianmu!

This time, he only concealed a part, and directly spoke about the rest without using spiritual messaging.

Many powerful figures had already gathered due to the news brought by the Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect, and now, hearing first-hand information, they were greatly shocked.

At this moment, the Sect Leader of the Hidden Sword Sect spoke, his voice cold like the ringing of a sword.

"I have thoroughly investigated. At the borders, the Demon Race’s forces have withdrawn, abandoning much territory, to the point where many places are only left with half-demons."

Jiang Shu’s pupils subtly contracted, immediately understanding what this meant.

This meant that even if the Demon Race was willing to pay the price of losing a great deal of territory, they would still focus their strength on exploring that desolate place.

And undoubtedly, that desolate place must hold unimaginable benefits, enough to drive the Demon Race to take risks.

"That’s why I’ve brought many strong experts."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable spoke, his voice deep and resolute.

Whatever the Demon Race aims to do, they must intervene to stop it. Currently, the fate of both races is one where they cannot easily concede.

"But that Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection..."

Jiang Shu began to speak.

The Power of Heaven and Earth Rejection, manifested as dark currents.

Infiltrating everywhere, even they, Daoist Venerables, must continually drive their power to resist it.

"No need to worry."

The Dao Yi Sect Sect Leader sneered, speaking with a hint of mockery:

"Boy, although the Dao Masters of each major sect won’t personally intervene, nor can they act, they have given some methods."

"There are naturally ways to deal with the heaven and earth rejection."

In the past, the Dao Yi Sect Sect Leader wouldn’t have spoken to Jiang Shu this way.

But at this moment, if not for Jiang Shu, this desolate place should have been exclusively enjoyed by the Dao Yi Sect.

Where would there be a situation where other sects come to take a share?

The many powerful figures present exchanged glances, and Taiwu Daoist Venerable raised his hand, causing a luminous stream of light to appear in his palm.

In an instant, Jiang Shu felt the high status aura of the Time Dao within that luminous stream!

"This is..."

Jiang Shu looked up and saw clearly those objects.

The shape of the objects was a large stone stacked upon a planar surface and a long nail.

They were indeed extremely simple, as if they could have been crafted by a child using ordinary materials, casually discarded by the roadside, completely unremarkable.

Yet Jiang Shu perceived the extraordinary power within them.

Taiwu Daoist Venerable chuckled lightly and spoke:

"This item is called the Mystic Sky Sun Dial, harboring Time Dao far beyond our imagination. Holding this item allows one to barely accomplish some time manipulations that only a Daoist Master could do, though the consumption is great and there are also certain usage limits and restrictions."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu took a deep breath.

Despite the limitations emphasized by Taiwu Daoist Venerable, without a doubt, this item is extremely precious!

It could even serve as the sect’s ultimate foundation.

With this item in hand, ordinary Daoist Venerables can engage in battles across levels, as the Time Dao is almost insurmountable to those who don’t understand it.

No matter the cost, it would absolutely be worth it.

"Alright, this time I will personally lead the way, stepping inside to see what’s truly there."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable declared, turning his head to the many Venerables present.

"Does anyone have an objection?"

Upon hearing this, the many Venerables present all nodded with smiles, expressing no objections.

Even the Dao Yi Sect Sect Leader merely frowned without saying much.

Though this place was first occupied by the Dao Yi Sect,

It was Jiang Shu who discovered it.

Furthermore, due to Jiang Shu’s involvement, the True Martial Sect’s understanding of its contents would surely exceed their expectations.

After a round of discussion, more than a dozen of the strongest Venerables entered the Bronze Door.

Almost instantly, countless black dark currents surged in like sharks that smelled blood.

Taiwu Daoist Venerable raised an eyebrow, then flicked a finger, causing the thick, robust aura of the Five Elements Dao to spread out, forcibly isolating those forces outside.

Creating a Dao Field of their own!

Five Elements in cycle, Mutual Inhibition and Mutual Generation.

The constructed Dao Field being the most stable and resilient.

With Taiwu Daoist Venerable acting, the other strong experts also each used their own methods to assist in isolating the outside.

Numerous black currents attempted to erode but found it difficult to penetrate, where any incursion would be swiftly filled.

"Indeed, it has various subtle uses as well."

Jiang Shu nodded secretly. The Power Dao, Desolate Dao, and Creation Dao are incredibly helpful for direct combat but offer little enhancement in the current situation.

Though he has also comprehended the Five Elements Dao,

His progress in the Five Elements Dao is not far, only comparable to some Daoist Monarchs of Vientiane Realm.

In such a scenario, displaying the Five Elements Dao is far inferior to deploying other Daos to form a Dao Field.

"Stay close to me and don’t act rashly, or it will break the Dao Field."

Taiwu Daoist Venerable said calmly.

"No need to say more, we naturally understand!"

The Dao Yi Sect Sect Leader responded with some impatience, then added, "Just proceed."

"We should head..."

Jiang Shu began directing them in a direction.

After all, he vaguely felt his avatar, Golden Horn, had also arrived in this world.

Undoubtedly, now that Golden Horn holds the status of the Dragon Clan’s Crown Prince, those dragon experts couldn’t possibly bring him here without purpose; they must have brought him to secure resources and benefits.

So this is surely one of the main focuses of the Demon Race.

Even though this might influence some aspects of Golden Horn’s status, Jiang Shu couldn’t care much at the moment.

With so many Human Clan experts already convened here,

no matter what the Demon Race is planning,

heading over should pose no issue.

However, just as he was about to point out a direction, his pupils suddenly contracted.

As if sensing something.

His gaze suddenly turned outward.

Not only him but all the powerful figures present simultaneously looked in one direction.

In the distance, within this dim world, a light akin to a great sun suddenly ascended from the ground, breaking into the firmament, illuminating the world!
