Yi ng Dao stood suspended in mid-air, gazing down at Lu Qingling, Xue Xuan, and Luo Yu.
His gaze was utterly indifferent, as if he were not looking at fellow cultivators of the sa realm, but at ants.
Yet, everyone who witnessed this scene felt it was only natural. Even the most diligent Loose Cultivators who secluded themselves for cultivation had heard of Yi ng Dao’s reputation.
Eighty-one Divine Skills!
Before Jiang Shu’s fa resounded, Yi ng Dao had been an invincible presence within the Primordial Pill Realm.
He had been invincible in the Primordial Pill Realm for far too long.
His eighty-one Divine Skills had almost crushed all the other sect geniuses, leaving them breathless.
It seed to be rely a difference of one or two Divine Skills. However, Yi ng Dao was called an Innate Dao Seed. His understanding and control of Divine Skills were far beyond that of the geniuses from other sects.
Even so of the elders in the Nirvana Realm would specially seek his advice on the intricacies of Divine Skills.
Almost all of his eighty-one Divine Skills had been cultivated to Great Success or above.
Even the Divine Power Pills of geniuses paled before his brilliant, perfectly round Primordial Pill, like dim stars before the blazing sun.
Not to ntion the Divine Power Pills of ordinary Primordial Pill Realm cultivators; theirs was rely the glow of a rice grain.
His aura even surpassed that of so Nirvana Realm Monarchs!
Although his status was not that of a sect’s True Disciple, it was nearly indistinguishable.
Everyone turned their eyes to the three Sect Disciples wearing the True Martial Sect robes, their gazes flickering, as a na that had not been ntioned for over a year once again surfaced in their minds.
Jiang Shu!
Ever since Jiang Shu left the Heavenly Puppet Sect, almost no news about him had co forth. Despite constant comparisons with Yi ng Dao, the two had never truly competed.
Jiang Shu had been able to defeat Wenren Ping, who had just entered the Nirvana Realm, in a cross-realm battle.
Perhaps Yi ng Dao could do the sa?
In the Cang Mang Domain, victory and defeat were never decided by words—they were determined through battle!
"Brother Yi, you’re putting us in a difficult position. Brother Jiang Shu is extraordinarily talented and rarely stays within the sect. He did not accompany the sect to Fuhai City this ti. If you wish to find him, you should ask the elders within our sect, not re Inner Sect Disciples like us," Lu Qingling said, struggling to circulate the Cultivation Technique within her body. Due to her aunt, she had begun cultivating a Heavenly Rank Technique after being promoted to the Primordial Pill Realm, and thus she was the first among the three to break free from Yi ng Dao’s pressure.
Her words were soft yet sharp, directly accusing Yi ng Dao of bullying those weaker than himself.
"No wonder the True Martial Sect’s ranking in the recent Divine Skill Conferences has been so diocre. It seems their disciples have cultivated their tongues rather than their Divine Skills," Yi ng Dao remarked with a slight frown. Although his words were still sharp, he had already retracted all of his imposing aura as he spoke.
Had this been over the Endless Sea, he wouldn’t have minded employing so thods to teach these three True Martial Sect disciples the aning of revering the strong.
But now, in Fuhai City and under the watchful eyes of the crowd, if he truly made a move, it would be tantamount to slapping the True Martial Sect in the face.
If that happened, and a Lord of Wanxiang Realm intervened, he would face punishnt, regardless of whether he was an Inner Sect Disciple or even a True Disciple.
The loss would simply not be worth the gain.
Moreover, with the great war imminent, his presence represented the face of the Dao Yi Sect. At this juncture, recruiting more Loose Cultivators was far more crucial than disciplining three insignificant True Martial Sect disciples—Loose Cultivators who would willingly serve as cannon fodder for the Dao Yi Sect in the coming war.
"The Divine Skill Conference occurs once every sixty years, and the great war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race is a once-in-a-millennium event. No matter how deeply Jiang Shu secludes himself in harsh cultivation, he must co to the Endless Sea. When he arrives, simply tell him that I, Yi ng Dao, have cultivated eighty-eight Divine Skills and await him on the Dao Yi Sect’s battlefield," Yi ng Dao declared.
"Junior Brothers, the task here is yours now," he added.
With that, Yi ng Dao didn’t spare Lu Qingling or the others another glance. He turned, transford into a streak of light, and soared towards the formation of warships still flying towards the Endless Sea.
The Dao Yi Sect Inner Sect Disciples remaining in Fuhai City cupped their fists in salute, their voices resonant as great bells, each disciple’s face beaming with absolute confidence. "We respectfully send off Brother Yi!"
No matter how strong Jiang Shu is, reaching around eighty Divine Skills must be his limit. Our Brother Yi, however, now possesses a full eighty-eight Divine Skills! He’s only eleven Divine Skills short of becoming the Cang Mang Domain’s foremost Primordial Pill Realm cultivator in tens of thousands of years. Besides, Brother Yi is an Innate Dao Seed, allowing him to unleash even greater power. It’s highly probable Jiang Shu’s Divine Skill count doesn’t match Brother Yi’s. Even if, with the True Martial Sect’s backing, Jiang Shu miraculously managed to reach ninety Divine Skills, he would still be no match for Brother Yi.
One of the Dao Yi Sect disciples announced loudly, "This ti, our Dao Yi Sect’s leader for the Primordial Pill Realm is Brother Yi! You all witnessed his strength just now. If you follow our Dao Yi Sect, you’re bound to encounter more opportunities! This is a great war, yes, but it’s also a trendous chance for you to change your destinies!"
"Imagine, if you achieve great rit, you could cultivate directly within our Dao Yi Sect! Your descendants might even be exceptionally accepted as Outer Disciples!"
Completely ignoring the presence of other Sect Disciples, the Dao Yi Sect’s Inner Sect Disciples fervently promoted their own sect.
They were confident that every Loose Cultivator present knew exactly what choice to make.
Eighty-eight Divine Skills! Yi ng Dao is truly an Innate Dao Seed! If not for this great war, with a few more decades of accumulation, could he reach ninety-nine Divine Skills, or perhaps even break the hundred-Divine Skill barrier?
