If what erges from the black fog is the Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch of the guessed Demon Sect or Demon Race, he would have considerable trouble today.
Even if it's another mysterious Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch, it's hard to guarantee what attitude he holds towards the Eight Great Sects.
Although Lu Chong believes that he has entered the Nirvana Realm Peak for several years, his mastery of the Great Dao Embryo is perfect, and his power far exceeds ordinary True Disciples of various sects, it's not an exaggeration to call him half-step into the Vientiane Realm.
However, he is also very aware that in front of a true Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch, his own strength is utterly insignificant.
A Vientiane Realm Daoist Monarch who completely controls the Great Dao, can easily suppress the Nirvana Realm Peak with the Power of Great Dao, effortlessly.
Currently, all the True Disciples and Elders of True Martial Sect are not by his side. If he encounters any strong enemy and falls into danger, there could be a threat to his life.
His gaze fixated on the black fog passage, Lu Chong held his breath, his eyes slightly flickering, and if he noticed anything off, he was ready to leave this place at any mont.
Under his tense watch, soon, sounds of wind echoed from the depths of the black fog passage, and a tall figure, concealed in dim light, walked out slowly.
The person erging from the black fog was Jiang Shu.
At this mont, his right hand was holding two large wings with Primordial Power, faintly emitting a profound and mysterious wave.
Devouring Dao... Transformation Dao...
The two Great Daos were transforming within the large wings.
After entering the Vientiane Realm, Jiang Shu naturally wanted to refine his Quasi-Tao Artifact Kunpeng Demon Wings into a true Dao Artifact.
Though in front of him, there actually is the Inheritance Building, a Dao Artifact.
But this Dao Artifact of the Demon Sect requires comprehension of Puppet Dao and Yin Corpse Dao to truly accept it.
Instead of wasting ti understanding two temporarily unnecessary Great Daos, refining Kunpeng Demon Wings into a Dao Artifact is more useful.
"Senior Brother Lu."
From afar, seeing Lu Chong's figure floating in the sky, Jiang Shu took a step forward. Although he hadn't seen Lu Chong during his cultivation in True Martial Sect, he had longti spiritual communication, and often heard of Lu Chong's grandeur from his Master and Senior Brothers.
"Earlier, I thought since the Demon Sect and Demon Race have arrived, our sect should send soone in too. But how co it's just you, Senior Brother Lu, where are the other True Disciples and Elders?"
Having entered the Vientiane Realm, logically, Jiang Shu only needed to call Lu Chong the Lu True Inheritor.
But to Jiang Shu, though he is the first True Disciple of True Martial Sect, he hasn't done nearly as much for True Martial Sect as Lu Chong.
In the past, it was Lu Chong who consistently contended with Zong Yue, making other cultivators believe True Martial Sect had the formidable backing of a second sect.
This ti, leading the team into the relics, he doesn't know how much effort and compromise it required in between, so calling him Senior Brother is proper.
As Jiang Shu moved through the air, when Lu Chong confird it was Jiang himself, he relaxed his tense nerves, just about to say sothing, but suddenly sensed sothing, his eyes widened and he stood stunned in place.
It wasn't until Jiang approached that Lu Chong ca back to his senses, studying him carefully, a look of shock eventually appearing on his face.
"Jiang, did you progress to the Vientiane Realm??"
He stared at Jiang Shu blankly, asking in disbelief.
Although Jiang Shu didn't reveal the nine Great Daos like before.
His soul and body had already undergone qualitative changes, just standing there seed as deep as an ocean.
Even the Nirvana Realm at its peak couldn't detect a thing.
Lu Chong couldn't believe his eyes at this mont.
When Jiang Shu nodded with a smile to confirm, waves stirred violently in his eyes.
It should be known, before Jiang Shu, he was the one among the many True Disciples of True Martial Sect most likely to first enter the Vientiane Realm and achieve Daoist Monarch status.
But despite having such a cultivation realm, almost just a step away, upon exploring the inner circle of the Ancient Demon Sect relics this ti, he still hasn't found the opportunity to breakthrough, needing more ti.
Of course, this is partly because Lu Chong was focused on searching for Jiang Shu and didn't concentrate on exploring the Demon Sect relics.
Except, knowing one's own circumstances, Lu Chong was certain that even if he was like Zong Yue of the Eight Great Sects, searching for Great Dao all over the Demon Sect relic inner circle, closing in seclusion and comprehending, he feared it would still be difficult to achieve breakthrough in such a short ti.
Unexpectedly, after many days of absence, Jiang Shu had already advanced far ahead.
Though Lu Chong himself understood that ever since Jiang Shu replaced him as the first True Disciple of True Martial Sect, surpassing him in cultivation was only a matter of ti, yet truly facing this mont still left him sowhat bewildered.
Fortunately, Lu Chong was innately kind-hearted, always well-regarded in True Martial Sect, and unlike those with dark twisted minds of True Inheritors of Demon Sect, he wouldn't feel jealous of Jiang Shu.
The most was a slight admiration, and after this matter, a determination to diligently cultivate and catch up.
Soon, Lu Chong suppressed all complex emotions within himself, took a deep breath of the chilly air, revealed a cheerful smile, and exclaid in admiration:
"Originally, I thought Jiang Shu might face so danger in the relics inner circle. I left the team to search for him; unexpectedly, we all underestimated you. After calling you Junior Brother, now I'll have to call you Daoist Monarch Taixuan."
Adjusting his emotions, Lu Chong grew up in True Martial Sect, more than anyone hoping it grows stronger.
In his view, with Jiang Shu's talents, he is more suited to lead True Martial Sect in the future!
Furthermore, although he's already entered the Vientiane Realm, still willing to call him Senior Brother, who wouldn't like that kind of personality?
"Calling Daoist Monarch is too polite; with Senior Brother's foundation, finding opportunity in these relics, you can definitely advance to the Vientiane Realm. Not breaking through is rely to preserve your profound foundation built over years."
Having entered the Vientiane Realm, Jiang Shu naturally could see Lu Chong's depth, if not for encountering so opportunity in the relics.
With his strength before entering the relics, facing Lu Chong in a battle, Lu Chong would definitely be the victor.
In their brief chatter, they clearly discussed each other's situation.
"Who could have thought two half Daoist Monarchs would be killed by Daoist Monarch Taixuan, body and soul destroyed. But it's a pity Qiu Taoguang got away, otherwise if he stayed with Lord Heavenly Dragon, our trip would be almost over."
Lu Chong shook his head; before eting Jiang Shu, he thought about bringing Jiang Shu back to the Eight Great Sects team base to ensure his safety.
But now, he chose to keep silent.
With Jiang Shu's current realm, it undoubtedly suits solo cultivation.
Across the entire relic inner circle, who could bring danger to him?
On the contrary, bringing Jiang Shu back would only stir greater conflict.
Zong Yue from Dao Yi Sect won't likely hand over team authority.
By then, when the team splits, once any accident occurs in the relics, none would bear the responsibility.
Better let Jiang Shu cultivate on his own.
And knowing Jiang Shu's situation, he could also peacefully cultivate, focusing on his own breakthrough.
"I left the team this ti; the Eight Great Sects is led by Zong Yue. Unexpectedly, he should soon advance to the Vientiane Realm, and I should return to seeking opportunities myself."
"Here's my Communication Jade Token; in case anything happens, I will inform you in advance. After all, with a large team, it's possible to encounter better Great Tomb opportunities early."
After leaving a Communication Jade Token for Jiang Shu, Lu Chong made a gesture towards him and imdiately moved to return to the Eight Great Sects team base.
Jiang Shu watched his figure fading into the horizon, then retracted his distant gaze, thoughtful.
"Now that I've broken through, it's ti to try the seventh floor of the Eternal Tower..."
With a thought, his surroundings rippled with space, and Jiang Shu's figure abruptly vanished into the void.
