Chapter 290: Chapter 181: United Demon-Slaying Legion!

Still requires research and development.

After concluding this brief meeting, convened suddenly due to the Goddess of Hope’s ascension, each Shen Yu continued with their own tasks.

Cultivator Shen Yu did not remain in the Scripture Pavilion either.

He had already used the Gray Mist to copy most of the information, cultivation techniques, and techniques within the Scripture Pavilion.

At this moment, as he stepped into the outside world, he immediately attracted numerous gazes.

During this period, the other four forces had sent quite a number of people to watch outside the Scripture Pavilion.

As soon as Cultivator Shen Yu appeared, light rays immediately flew towards him.

“Greetings, fellow Daoist.”

The first to arrive was, strikingly, the Saintess of Profound Void Sacred Land.

She, who could be considered a genius looking across the entire Yellow One World, even the vast Cosmos, smiled and greeted Cultivator Shen Yu warmly and amiably.

“So it is the Saintess of Profound Void.” Cultivator Shen Yu also immediately recognized the identity of the person in front of him.

Although he had been in seclusion studying various techniques, he was not completely ignorant of the outside world.

At the very least, Cultivator Shen Yu knew all those who had entered the small world before.

What’s more, he had previously heard his master mention the Saintess of Profound Void.

This was to motivate his senior sister, lest she become arrogant due to her talent.

Yet at this moment, as Cultivator Shen Yu and the Saintess of Profound Void stood together, the roles were clear.

The initiative was obviously in Cultivator Shen Yu’s hands.

In the brief moment of greeting, other light rays also descended.

The Supreme Sword Sect sent not a so-called Sword Dao Fairy, but a white-haired yet imposing Earth Immortal. Meanwhile, the Great Yan Immortal Dynasty was clearly less courteous, recalling the original prince and sending a princess, who was equally charming, her looks and demeanor almost rivaling those of the Saintess of Profound Void.

Though in terms of realm, there was a marked difference.

As for the last group, the Ji Family, they sent two female cultivators who, though individually not comparable to the Saintess of Profound Void and the princess, formed a True Master Realm pair with merged auras.

In other words, the representatives sent by the four sects incredibly all included a charming fairy.

Looking further, the Cyan Simurgh from Star River Immortal Sect was also standing at the end of the line.

Cultivator Shen Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, immediately realizing that details about his youthful mindset had surely been investigated thoroughly, otherwise, this lineup would not have gathered here.

However, at this moment, Cultivator Shen Yu had no such thoughts.

With doomsday impending, amidst dire crises, everything else was secondary.

Facing the gazes of these numerous fairies, he merely maintained a calm demeanor.

“I’ve heard that the Five Immortal Sects have already gathered a ’Demon Punishing’ squad, preparing to jointly eliminate the demon cultivators?”

“Indeed it is so.” Cyan Simurgh seemed to have found her opportunity to speak, directly moving from the back to the front, respectfully saying, “Master has instructed me to report the situation to the Venerable.”

“Venerable?” Cultivator Shen Yu raised an eyebrow, “Why this title?”

“These are also the orders of my master.” Cyan Simurgh remained earnest, with little expression of joy, unlike others who subtly displayed intimacy, as she meticulously replied, “The Heavenly Dao tribulation is by no means simple. The Venerable has reincarnated into our world to save it, not to be assessed by cultivation, realm, or power, but as the supreme Venerable. All of our world should follow the Venerable’s command.”

This short statement caused no change in Cultivator Shen Yu’s expression, yet dampened the mood of others.

Some even looked unfavorably at Cyan Simurgh.

Because, prior to this, the Star River Immortal Sect had not mentioned this matter to them!

Although the status of this association member before them indeed held prestige, subtly commanding the orthodox immortal sects, representing the sole method to counteract the Heavenly Dao’s change and the world-ending calamity, providing an opportunity to transcend the world entirely.

Even so, formally establishing a hierarchical relationship shouldn’t be the unilateral decision of one sect.

In many people’s minds, before establishing such a relationship, or ensuring Cultivator Shen Yu possesses overwhelmingly strong power, they could entirely approach with an equal status, build closer ties, or foster camaraderie.

The “camaraderie” here does not merely refer to romantic involvement.

The bond of brothers, teacher’s teachings, and friendship could also be bindings, offers of support, and inevitably bring endless benefits.

But now, the Star River Immortal Sect caught them off guard!

With the Star River Immortal Sect as an example, they feared being perceived as inferior in Cultivator Shen Yu’s eyes.

However, currently, Cultivator Shen Yu, while somewhat pleased with Star River’s attitude, sought no deeper motive.

As a savior, to acquire more Gray Mist, leading this world and civilization’s survival entirely was necessary.

If he merely nudged things slightly, even if the natives saved themselves, the Gray Mist in Cultivator Shen Yu’s hands wouldn’t amount to much.

“Since a joint legion has formed, what’s the battle situation?” Cultivator Shen Yu inquired.

He glanced at the Gray Mist Space, noting his portion of the Gray Mist was still sparse.

“Reporting to Your Honor,” Cyan Simurgh, well-prepared for the frontline situation, answered, “This battle against demons isn’t the first in this realm. Though our Five Immortal Sects United Legion has just formed, we’re yet to recognize the demon cultivators’ status. Currently, numerous True Masters and even Earth Immortals are probing various Mortal Courts, or between Immortal Dynasties and Immortal Sects, for any signs of demon cultivator unrest.”

“How long will this investigation take in total?” Cultivator Shen Yu asked again.

“It might take several years.” Cyan Simurgh replied.

Several years, considering their full-speed efforts, seemed the result.

After all, demon cultivators, especially those who survive, are exceptionally adept at concealing themselves.

Many demon cultivators even hide among the orthodoxy.

Some who wholeheartedly pursue the Dao Fruit of Eternal Life but lack the aptitude and potential, even those with low morals, feeling long longevity daunting, might resort to practicing the Demon Dao.

Under such circumstances, if these demon cultivators don’t provoke an outcry, are not spotted, and remain hidden, they are indeed hard to detect.

What’s more, at present, demon cultivators, in truth, might not be so rampant.

After all, the Heavenly Dao’s change persists.

Practicing as a demon cultivator is becoming increasingly straightforward.

Survive for now, and in the future, the world could become the dominion of the demon cultivators.

In such a predicament, even if Cultivator Shen Yu were a demon cultivator, he’d choose discretion.

“Several years is far too long.” Cultivator Shen Yu was unprepared to linger in such a small world for that many years!

After a brief ponder, he made up his mind.

“The world-ending calamity affects the entire Cosmos, yet even this small Yellow One World, teeming with Immortal Sects towering over and mortals like the sea, functions poorly. If another sudden disaster strikes, our response might be inadequate.” Cultivator Shen Yu’s gaze sharpened, fixing on the crowd, “I wish to establish a power to counter the tribulation, encompassing the entire world, incorporating all Immortal Sects, all mortals!”

This statement made some cultivators involuntarily inhale slightly.

Is this even possible?

The thought briefly crossed their minds, then the answer came immediately.

Impossible!

No matter how powerful Cultivator Shen Yu was, nor how ferocious the calamity, it couldn’t be accomplished.

After all, cultivation, at its core, is about achieving eternal life, roaming freely.

The term for the Earth Immortal Realm is “Earth Immortal Freedom”!

Who wants to be shackled by such a force?

Otherwise, even though their Five Immortal Sects all established deep roots with immense power at the Cosmic Headquarters, they hadn’t unified the whole of Yellow One World and instead were content to dominate specific areas.

But how should this be explained to the association Daoist friend?

The many cultivators glanced at one another, unwilling to become the “party spoiler,” or the one to “state the naive truth.”
