Chapter 134: Prodigy of the Demon Race

Jiang Cheng called out to Chen An, who was outside, and Chen An walked in.

"How are things going?"

"Everything is ready."

"Good. Once the Demon Clan members in other regions have prepared the cross-region Grand Array and we assemble our forces, we can officially begin the war against the Southern Region."

Chen An continued to report some intelligence to Jiang Cheng: "Elders from the Joyful Union Sect, Spirit Sea Sect, and Heavenly Thunder Temple have all been poached by our people."

Even two Elders from the Celestial Maiden Sect were their people, which was something they hadn't expected.

They hadn't expected that people from the Celestial Maiden Sect would become part of their Demon Race; they had originally thought there was no hope of turning the Elders of those three major Sects.

It seems they had overestimated the Celestial Maiden Sect and underestimated others' desire for power.

The Profound Heaven Sect and Myriad Swords Sect were a bit difficult to deal with; they hadn't had the opportunity to poach any Sect Elders from there.

But it didn't matter; this was enough. When the time came, they would quickly deal with the easier Sects.

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment. "Although the day to start the war hasn't arrived yet, we can't just sit idle. We should absorb the Sects that need to be absorbed."

"Feel free to capture whoever needs to be captured, but keep a constant eye on Ye Lin of the Profound Heaven Sect. Report any news about him to me immediately."

"That kid is truly beyond my expectations; his presence is an anomaly."

"Even though I have recovered to the Soul Transformation Stage, I might not necessarily be his match."

"I am still a bit short of reaching the Domain level. I need to at least possess the power of a Domain; otherwise, if I encounter him, it would be suicide."

"There is no need to pay too much attention to the others. Everything must prioritize the big picture. Once our people's cross-region Grand Array is connected, it will be enough."

"I heard from Demon Clan members in other regions that they also have a peerless Prodigy there who has already stepped into the Middle Stage of Soul Transformation and mastered the power of a Domain."

"This person might have the capital to contend with Ye Lin. We have five or six Nascent Soul Stage individuals now; you can tell them to stop being so timid. They can act freely, as long as they don't expose our current location."

"Other matters don't matter. By the way, don't go to the Cloud Sea Forest; that place is too sinister."

Chen An nodded. "By the way, Sect Master, those lurking in the Celestial Maiden Sect revealed that two Celestial Maiden Sect Elders have headed to a Secret Realm."

This news was revealed to them by the Celestial Maiden Sect Elder.

"Over these years, because we haven't done anything major and have basically been dormant, Cultivating, some Sects have appropriately relaxed their vigilance."

Jiang Cheng listened to this news; for him, this was good news. As long as he relied on the Yin Yang Demon Pearl to absorb those two Celestial Maiden Sect Elders, his cultivation would be able to improve significantly again.

"By the way, is there still no opportunity for that Innate Furnace Body?"

"That's right, there has been no opportunity. She basically only moves within the Celestial Maiden Sect's territory, and her master is always protecting her."

"Even if we let the people hidden in the Celestial Maiden Sect take action, it's useless; we simply can't find an opportunity."

"Forget it then; there will eventually be an opportunity. Tell me which Secret Realm they went to, and I will go personally to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"They definitely won't be allowed to escape. Alright, go do what you need to do; I will set off first."

After learning the specific location of the Secret Realm, Jiang Cheng vanished from the room.

On the other side, Su Yu was drinking tea in the courtyard. Over these twenty years, in order to break through to the Body Integration Stage as quickly as possible, he had done nothing but Cultivate, aside from searching for Materials.

He basically hadn't stopped at all. Now that he had finally broken through to the Body Integration Stage, he could slow down his pace and properly enjoy life.

Previously, Han Ting had also come to look for him to ask about playing the zither.

Han Ting had also reached the end of the Golden Core Stage, arriving at the Late Stage Golden Core.

Externally, his own cultivation was still at the Early Stage of Golden Core, just a decent existence within the Early Stage of Golden Core.

Now was not the time for him to break through. If he broke through to the Middle Stage of Golden Core too quickly, it would attract some attention. Anyway, the lifespan of the Golden Core Stage was still long, and he had plenty of time to squander.

It would be fine to break through at an appropriate time; anyway, no one had paid special attention to him until now.

Apart from his friends, when other people mentioned the name Su Yu:

They would recall for a moment, "Oh, that Outer Sect Elder Su Yu, right? I have a bit of an impression. If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I've even kind of forgotten what Elder Su looks like."

Most people were in this situation, and some didn't even remember that a person named Su Yu existed.

After all, no matter what, Su Yu was an Outer Sect Elder, so there would definitely be some impression, but no one cared about him.

After all, he didn't have any outstanding achievements, nor did he display any particularly dazzling strength in various battles.

Furthermore, he didn't take any Disciples; if he had an outstanding Disciple, his fame would be higher.

But he didn't want that—to take a peerless Prodigy as a Disciple.

That would immediately make him famous.

Just like Ye Lin's previous master, Elder Li; because of Ye Lin's existence, who didn't know his name now? Everyone knew he had such a powerful Disciple.

Even now, there were countless Disciples who wanted to join his Sect out of admiration.

This was the consequence of having a peerless Prodigy Disciple. This would certainly be a good thing for ordinary people, but for Su Yu, he didn't want that.

Still the same saying: if he were to take a Disciple, it would be a Disciple who matched his external strength, one who was slightly better than a Passerby, just like him.

That way, no one would be able to notice him.

Anyway, as long as he was living his current life comfortably, that was enough.

On Ye Lin's side, he was currently in the Sect's ancestral grounds, receiving guidance from the Old Ancestor.

Ye Lin's current strength had already reached the terrifying Late Stage of Spirit Transformation; this growth speed also shocked both Old Ancestors.

They knew Ye Lin had grown very quickly before and thought that once he reached the Soul Transformation Stage, it would slow down. They didn't expect that it wouldn't; he was still as fast as ever.

Chu Li looked at Ye Lin. "If the Demon Race doesn't make a move for another twenty years, then even if the people on the Demon Race's side make a move, it will be seeking death."

"Over these years, both of us have personally witnessed your potential."

"We can only say that we still underestimated you. Now, our guidance for you is also limited; the rest will have to depend on yourself."

Ye Lin nodded. He had been Cultivating here with the Old Ancestor for some time, and next, he would go out to those Secret Realms to further improve his strength.
