I Can Upgrade My Talent Infinitely

Chapter 587: Chapter 400: Priority Level (Part 2)

"Thank you, Sect Leader! This Magical Treasure is perfect for me."

Zhou Beixing found this Magical Treasure, specifically designed to combat Demons, to be a perfect fit. The Sect Leader had fulfilled his every request, and done so flawlessly.

’The Sect Leader’s talent for Artifact Refining is truly terrifying!’

"I’m glad it’s a good fit. Practice with it. I’ll be leaving now."

"Sect Leader, allow me to see you out."

As Fang Yun prepared to leave, Zhou Beixing made no move to stop him. He knew the Sect Leader’s time was incredibly precious and that he had many things to do.

"There’s no need."

With that, Fang Yun departed.

Fang Yun had already collected one of the Spiritual Materials Zhou Beixing needed to refine his Lifebound Magical Treasure, but he hadn’t used it yet. If he gave this Spiritual Material to Zhou Beixing, Zhou Beixing would be able to refine his Lifebound Magical Treasure.

’But if I give this Spiritual Material to Zhou Beixing now, I might have to wait for it again later when I’ve gathered all the other Spiritual Materials for the Sacrificial Refinement and upgrade of my own Lifebound Magical Treasure, the Profound Jade Sword.’

’So, I’ll have to ask Zhou Beixing to wait a little longer.’

As a form of compensation for Zhou Beixing, Fang Yun had given high priority to refining this anti-Demon Magical Treasure for him.

Otherwise, Zhou Beixing would have had to wait at least another two years to obtain this specialized Magical Treasure.

「Just as he returned to his immortal cave.」

Fang Yun received a transmission.

The transmission was from the Evil Extermination Hall.

’What news could this be?’

As this thought crossed his mind, Fang Yun quickly received the transmission’s contents.

’The Dragon Demon Palace is making a move... Interesting...’

Fang Yun was very surprised by the content of the transmission.

It was news concerning the Dragon Demon Palace.

They hadn’t yet made a move against the Dragon Demon Palace, but the Dragon Demon Palace was already stirring.

The next moment, he directly contacted the Wind Ling Sect.

He wanted to understand the situation on the Wind Ling Sect’s side and see if it was related to the Dragon Demon Palace’s movements.

Normally, given the Dragon Demon Palace’s current overall strength, they should be lying low in their own territory and doing nothing. That would be the best course of action for them.

And yet, the Dragon Demon Palace had actually made a move ahead of schedule!

’Whatever the reason for this, it certainly isn’t a simple one.’

"It hasn’t even been twenty-five years of peaceful development," Fang Yun couldn’t help but mutter.

If possible, he wanted the Celestial Cloud Sect to continue developing in peace and stability for at least another thirty years.

By then, he would be close to the late-stage of Core Formation, and Miao Qinghong would have an eighty percent chance of breaking through to late-stage Core Formation as well. Furthermore, the number of Core Formation Cultivators in the sect would increase by at least two or three.

If they waited another thirty years to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace, it would surely be a comfortable and smooth process, with everything falling into place.

Fang Yun sat on a stone stool in his immortal cave, awaiting the Wind Ling Sect’s reply.

Perhaps the Wind Ling Sect needed time to organize their information, as the wait this time was rather long.

"The news is finally here."

The Wind Ling Sect’s reply clearly stated that the Dragon Demon Palace’s actions against the Celestial Cloud Sect had absolutely nothing to do with them.

The Wind Ling Sect specifically emphasized that they had not made any major moves against the Dragon Demon Palace, as they were still waiting for the opportune moment that the Celestial Cloud Sect had requested.

The "opportune moment" mentioned here was the one Fang Yun had discussed with the Wind Ling Sect’s Supreme Elder, Lin Caixuan.

The Wind Ling Sect added one more point.

The Dragon Demon Palace had not made any major moves against them.

"Are they only targeting us?" Fang Yun frowned in thought.

The most puzzling thing for him right now was that the Dragon Demon Palace’s actions were aimed solely at the Celestial Cloud Sect.

Normally, if the Dragon Demon Palace were to make a move, it should be against the Wind Ling Sect first. Then, after receiving information from the Wind Ling Sect, the Celestial Cloud Sect would help them deal with the Dragon Demon Palace, forming a pincer attack from two sides.

To be honest, the Dragon Demon Palace making the first move was already abnormal.

In Fang Yun’s projections, future developments were supposed to unfold like this:

Thirty years from now, the Wind Ling Sect would initiate an operation against the Dragon Demon Palace. When the Dragon Demon Palace began to counterattack, the Celestial Cloud Sect would immediately join the fray. Finally, they would eliminate the Dragon Demon Palace and complete their occupation of its Earth Realm.

’No matter the reason for the Dragon Demon Palace’s sudden attack, they’ve made a move, and we must counter...’

The Celestial Cloud Sect of today had no reason to lie low. A new ethos had already formed throughout the sect.

If he chose to hunker down in the face of the Dragon Demon Palace’s offensive, he would face immense pressure.

’...We just need to be cautious with our counterattack.’

Before long, having thought things through, Fang Yun issued the Sect Leader’s orders.

They were to launch a limited counterattack against the Dragon Demon Palace’s actions. At the same time, they were to closely monitor the recent movements of the Black Ghost Cave and the Ghost-Controlling Sect. As for the Blood Demon Influence, the Purple Blood Pavilion, they only needed to keep an eye on their movements.

The Purple Blood Pavilion had no prior dealings with them, and even after their Earth Realms became adjacent, no conflicts had occurred.

As long as no Blood Demons from the Purple Blood Pavilion’s Earth Realm appeared in their current territory, their own Qi Refining Cultivators would not cross over.

After issuing his internal orders, Fang Yun immediately sent another message to the Wind Ling Sect.

He signaled that the Wind Ling Sect could now make their move.

The two sects’ plan against the Dragon Demon Palace was being moved up!

This acceleration of the plan was definitely something the Wind Ling Sect was very eager to see.

If Fang Yun hadn’t said they needed to wait for the right time to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace, the Wind Ling Sect would have wanted to join forces with them to strike at the Dragon Demon Palace right after they had eliminated the Demon Spirit Sect.

The Sect Leader’s orders were quickly and effectively implemented.

Among the four peaks, Three Halls, and two offices, the Battle Peak was once again the first to receive the news.

The main force for the operation against the Dragon Demon Palace would be the disciples and Elders of the First Sub-Sect’s Battle Peak.

"Elder Wen, the latest news. There’s good news and bad news. Which do you want to hear first?"

"What news? Elder Qian, tell me the good news in detail."

Elder Qian of the Battle Peak, upon learning the news, had immediately sought out Elder Wen.

"We’re taking action against the Dragon Demon Palace!"

"What? We’re already starting to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace? I heard from a Management Elder that any action against them was supposed to be at least ten or twenty years away."

"The Management Elder’s information probably wasn’t wrong. It’s just that the prerequisite for our action this time is that the Dragon Demon Palace struck at us first."

"They actually struck first!" Elder Wen was very surprised.

As an Elder of the Celestial Cloud Sect, he knew just how powerful the sect was now.

It was one thing for them not to have gone looking for trouble with the Dragon Demon Palace, but for the Dragon Demon Palace to come knocking on their door and start trouble first...

Now that they had to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace, they would have more missions.

And the Elders of the Battle Peak were in dire need of missions.

"And the bad news?" Elder Wen didn’t celebrate just yet. He didn’t know what the bad news was, and it wouldn’t be too late to be happy after hearing both pieces of news.

"The missions this time will primarily be taken up by the First Sub-Sect."

"..."

As soon as the bad news was out, Elder Wen felt a bit down.

The personnel transfers of Elders between the sub-sects and the Main Sect required orders from the higher-ups. Without such orders, it was very difficult for Battle Peak Elders from the Main Peak like them to become Battle Peak Elders of the First Sub-Sect.

"The First Sub-Sect is closer to the Dragon Demon Palace, so it’s only right that they handle such missions." Elder Wen consoled himself. "The main missions we’ll be able to take on here will most likely be related to the Black Ghost Cave."

The Second Sub-Sect was close to the Ghost-Controlling Sect and the Purple Blood Pavilion.

"Elder Wen, it’s true that the First Sub-Sect is closer to the Dragon Demon Palace. But don’t you think that by assigning the missions this way, the sect’s higher-ups don’t intend for our sect to use its full strength, or even half of it?"

For the current Celestial Cloud Sect to exert its full power, the Main Peak and both major sub-sects would have to participate in the operation.

Hearing this, Elder Wen first nodded, but then he shook his head as a thought occurred to him.

"Elder Qian, that’s the old way of thinking for us Celestial Cloud Sect Elders. Our sect is very strong now. There’s no need to use our full strength to deal with the Dragon Demon Palace. Their overall power is on the weaker side among the Demon Cultivation Core Formation Influences. Besides, we won’t be the only ones dealing with them; the Wind Ling Sect will also be participating."

"So basically, we can’t do anything this time."

After the orders were issued, many Battle Peak Elders on the Main Peak had similar conversations.

Taking action against the Dragon Demon Palace was good news, but the lack of missions for them was bad news.

Only the Elders who acted quickly managed to receive a very small number of missions.

Unlike the Battle Peak Elders here, the Battle Peak Elders stationed at the First Sub-Sect were overjoyed.

They could finally flex their muscles, give the Dragon Demon Palace a proper counterattack, and perhaps even go a step further and annihilate them.
