The star map suddenly twisted, and thirty-six beams of blood intertwined into a vague dragon-shaped outline above the Chaotic Demon Sea.

"If the formation succeeds, the fortunes of the Demon Race will transform into an Ancient Heavenly Dragon, elevating the entire Demon Race’s fortunes to a higher tier. At that time, it is not impossible that the Demon Venerable might directly take action and begin the counterattack."

Jiang Shu’s words fell.

Even the Mixed Cave Realm Daoist Venerables remained silent.

They were not afraid of the Demon Race’s Demon Venerable making a move, but once a battle ensued, with beings at their level, it would be unprecedented carnage, and even a Daoist Monarch of the Vientiane Realm might not escape unscathed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Someone like Jiang Shu, although displaying extraordinary brilliance in today’s battle.

But if caught in the warfare between them and the Demon Venerable, the outcome would be naught but...

Certain death!

The concepts of Demon Venerable and Demon Monarch are entirely different.

An elder who had long been stalled in the Vientiane Realm for a millennium couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Shu:

"But what does this have to do with your solitary venture into the Demon Domain?"

Jiang Shu nodded, gray dao patterns emanating from his Heavenly Spirit, and the Three Holy Embryo Seals reassembled the shattered star map.

This time, it was not a dragon shadow that emerged, but a simplified map of the Demon Clan Continent with three bright lights flashing on it.

"I sensed something through the subtle interconnection between the earth veins. I want to go and see; it might be the other hubs of this Blood and Flesh Array of the Demon Race."

A great array capable of elevating the level of the Demon Domain could not possibly have only one array hub; the entire continent must serve as the chessboard.

Jiang Shu’s gaze swept over the core elders of the True Martial Sect and clasped his hands, saying:

"Taking advantage of this time while a tacit understanding still exists, and before the senior and the Demon Race’s Demon Venerable have engaged, it’s entirely possible to seize this last opportunity and infiltrate the Demon Domain."

"You’ve all seen my combat prowess today. Without the Demon Venerable making a move, an average Demon Monarch absolutely cannot stop me. With me entering the Demon Race’s base camp, the chances of victory in this battle can increase considerably."

Jiang Shu finished speaking and stood aside.

Besides wanting to make a final contribution,

he had spent enough time in the Chaotic Demon Sea.

During this period, he collected countless resources, enough for him to cultivate all the way to the Mixed Cave Realm.

Therefore, what he needed most now was an opportunity to return to the Deep Space Sea.

There, he could consistently comprehend until he breaks through.

Had he stayed in the Chaotic Demon Sea, everything would be under the constant watch of the Daoist Venerables, making it impossible for him to free himself entirely.

Of course, these fundamental reasons were naturally not something he would reveal.

Divine senses conveyed messages throughout the Great Hall.

Beside him, the Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable released nine Purple Sky Divine Thunders from his sleeves, which hovered in the sky. He looked at this favored disciple, intending to say many things, but ultimately saying nothing.

He also knew that what Jiang Shu most needed to do now was indeed in the Chaotic Demon Sea, under the eyes of the Supreme Sect Leader.

Only in this way could he be completely safeguarded.

Infiltrating the Demon Race was no simple task.

What his disciple was witnessing might be a grand scheme laid out by the Demon Race’s Demon Venerable.

After all, by now, anyone could see that if Jiang Shu did not fall, he would at least become the highest battle power in the Cang Mang Domain in the future.

It’s a pity that once the war begins, everything would be beyond one’s control.

After all, the True Martial Sect did not command everything in the Cang Mang Domain.

Currently, the Eight Great Sects seem to cooperate with each other, but other sects are equally wary of this disciple of theirs.

If Jiang Shu did not bring it up, it would be fine, but once he did, if others found out, someone would naturally take the opportunity to follow through.

"Do you know that the Demon Race despises you to the bone at this moment?"

"The Mixed Cave Realm’s divine senses cover more than a hundred thousand miles, no matter how much you’ve comprehended space, can you surpass the Demon Venerable? Hiding anywhere would result in being effortlessly found!"

"If the Demon Venerable makes a move? Our Human Clan warring with the Demon Race wouldn’t matter so much. But your death would be too great a blow to the morale of the Human Clan."

He was Jiang Shu’s master, but in this situation, he couldn’t use personal emotions to stop Jiang Shu’s actions.

The temperature in the hall abruptly dropped, and the suspended All Heaven Star Battle Array suddenly stagnated.

The Supreme Sect Leader of the True Martial Sect gently lowered his gaze and delineated Jiang Shu’s past achievements in the void with a finger: "Severing Demon Monarchs... Severely wounding the Demon Venerable Avatar, ranked first on the Demon Race’s bounty list."

"At this moment, every location in the Demon Domain has a bounty on you."

"This journey, are you willing?"

After hesitating for a moment, the Supreme Sect Leader finally spoke candidly.

In this situation, though it seems the Daoist Venerables and the Demon Venerables have not intervened.

In essence, their presence was already a form of involvement.

A confrontation could occur at any moment.

Jiang Shu venturing alone into the Demon Domain carried enormous risks.

From his heart, he was unwilling.

But he also knew that Jiang Shu made it from the Endless Sea to the Chaotic Demon Sea earlier, even escaping and injuring the Demon Venerable Avatar. Underneath his sleeve, he undoubtedly possessed hidden cards and opportunities unknown even to them.

Perhaps, it was these hidden cards and opportunities that could safeguard Jiang Shu’s life.

The other elders also spoke up at this time, having witnessed Jiang Shu’s brilliance in this battle. Compared to Jiang Shu, they were more willing to go themselves.

"How about I go? Anyway, my lifespan shouldn’t exceed a hundred years. At worst, I’d burn my Great Dao, fight to the death, and take down a Demon Monarch’s peak power."

"Indeed, I’ll join as well. I have a Great Dao that can manifest a demon body, which should help me temporarily avoid some of the Demon Race’s prying. Daoist Monarch Taixuan, you just need to tell us what we need to do."

"During the battle, I soul-searched a Demon Monarch’s memory and learned some safe places. I should be able to preserve my life if I go."

The speaking elders were those with little life left and no hope of breakthrough.

They didn’t know how many years they had cultivated in the True Martial Sect, long having viewed the honor of the sect as their everything.

In their eyes, Jiang Shu’s life was far more important than theirs.

They were worried that Jiang Shu might become arrogant due to his earlier achievements, underestimating the strong foes of the Demon Race.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is a great use for everyone in the Chaotic Demon Sea. When the great battle comes, numerous opportunities will arise. It’s highly likely that in the midst of the conflict, you’ll seize the chance to step into the Mixed Cave Realm. Besides, entering the Demon Race doesn’t mean certain death for me."

Jiang Shu shook his head and said, "I slew the True Dragon Clan and can transform into a True Dragon. Moreover, I merged pure Dragon Clan blood into my bloodline, even a current Demon Venerable wouldn’t see through my changes at a glance, unless they’re of the Dragon Venerable’s caliber."

By merging the essence blood of the Black Dragon Demon Lord and Ao Jin, his Dragon Clan bloodline’s purity surpassed that of many Dragon Clan members, intimidating greatly.

The Purple Extreme Daoist Venerable’s fingers, which had been brushing the iced pattern of the teacup, suddenly paused, and the tea in the cup rippled with the reflection of the All Heaven Star Diagram.

A Mixed Cave formed in the void behind the Cangming Daoist Venerable. A bronze-skinned ancient giant spirit’s eyes slowly opened, with the embryo of the Great Dao floating in the Chaos Thunder Pool reflecting in its pupils behind Jiang Shu.

"Can the Dragon Transformation Technique deceive the Demon Venerable’s divine sense?"

The elder who earlier mentioned he had comprehended a Great Dao to manifest a demon body looked at Jiang Shu and, after a polite word, suddenly focused his divine sense into a single line, as if to completely peer into Jiang Shu’s bloodline.

Jiang Shu showed no hesitation, his blood surging with Dragon Qi permeating from every pore.

"I can see that bloodline, indeed extraordinary."

"But there is also the possibility of a slight oversight because the Dragon Clan itself is quite rare. Daoist Monarch Taixuan, your realm and battle prowess, with such renown in the Dragon Clan, who wouldn’t know? If met with a true expert, a few words alone could reveal your truth, entirely unhideable."

"In terms of concealment, it might be less than what I could do with a bloodline inferior to the Dragon Clan’s Demon Monarchs."

This elder stepped forward, his figure gaunt, hair completely white, as if already senile. But his eyes shone bright like stars in the sky.
