Dividing the Resources
Demon Sea, War Flying Vessels hovered. Inside the central Flying Boat belonging to the Spiritvoid Pavilion, numerous High-Rank Cultivators from the Lu Wu Realm sat together in a somber atmosphere.
The combined power of the entire Lu Wu Realm, in its attempt to conquer the mere Demon Sea, only managed to capture three Secret Realms. This was nothing short of a resounding slap in the face to all the cultivators present.
"Where did the Demon Dao Path get such a profound Spatial Secret Method?" True Martial Sacred Lord said, frowning.
The spatial Chains connecting the ten Secret Realms were beyond the reach of not only the Seven Stars Sacred Lord but also other forces. A series of attacks couldn't even touch them, let alone sever them.
With these Chains connecting them, the defensive power of the Secret Realms increased dramatically. Only the weakest secret realms Eagle Sky Sect Secret Realm and Netherworld Sect Secret Realm, were breached by the allied forces in a direct attack. The Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm was only breached because of the presence of an inside agent.
If there were enough time, these wouldn't be a problem. The key issue is that once the Void Torrent appears, the allied forces simply don't have that much time. If they're not careful, they could be swept into the depths of the Void Torrent, which would be disastrous.
The void is different from the real world. It is infinitely large and the concept of time is extremely easy to confuse. You may think that only a short time has passed, but in reality, you have been flying for decades in the Void Torrent. You can imagine how far that distance is.
Moreover, the spatial turbulence deep within the void is even more destructive, and there are even Void Giant Beast lurking there. These behemoths are not restricted by the spacetime barrier, and it is possible to encounter Void Giant Beast comparable to Immortals and Gods even in the Mortal Realm.
If you encounter a volatile Void Giant Beast, whether you can return alive depends on whether the Dao Ancestor will protect you.
The Heavenly Blood Demon Lord shook his head. "We don't even know where the Spatial Secret Method of the Demon Dao path came from."
However, after this battle, it will be impossible to attack the Demon Sea again for a short period of time.
Each divination of celestial secrets consumes a portion of the Heavenly Mechanist's lifespan. The five Heavenly Mechanist also have to contend with the upcoming Interface War; they cannot afford to perish here in the Demon Sea!
The reason why Lu Wu Realm was able to find the Secret Realms of the Ten Great Demon Sects in this operation was precisely because of the deductions of the Five Heavenly Mechanist, who were able to locate the Secret Realms of the Demon Dao path in the vast void.
In addition, diving into the void also requires a considerable amount of spatial resources.
These are all strategic resources, and we must use them sparingly. If we waste them all on the Demon Sea, what will happen to the future Interface Wars?
"But if we don't resolve this potential problem, what will happen if these demon bastards defect to the enemy after the Interface War begins?" the Myriad Laws Palace Master said, frowning.
"Given the suspicious nature of the Demon Dao, would they put themselves in danger? If my Lu Wu Realm falls, the Demon Dao path will also be wiped out! Surrender is only acceptable if they are willing to accept it!"
"Then why did they start this Interface War?"
A thick fog of mystery shrouded the minds of many Sage Manifestation powerhouse, and the ulterior motives of the Demon Dao path made Sage Manifestation of them uneasy.
However, they all knew that they could no longer continue attacking the Demon Sea. With only about thirty or forty years left until the Interface War, wasting too much energy on the Demon Sea would be detrimental to future wars.
"The Void Torrent is an obstacle for us, but isn't it also an obstacle for the Demon Dao Path? We only need to station our armies in the three Secret Realms and keep a close watch on the movements of this void. As long as the Demon Dao Path doesn't show itself, we won't bother with them!" The Myriad Sword Pavilion Master said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the other Sage Manifestation powerhouse nodded in agreement; it seemed that this was the only option at the moment.
Ultimately, the Lu Wu Realm's leadership decided to station a large number of powerful individuals in the three conquered Secret Realms and to set up Detection Formations on numerous Islands in the Demon Sea to constantly monitor the movements of the Devil Cultivators.
One month later, in the Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm.
After refining the Secret Realm Origin, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, in conjunction with various purification Formations, finally refined all the Resentment Qi, leaving only a huge sphere formed from the condensation of blood soul power.
This sphere contains the Blood Qi, Sha Qi, and remnant souls of billions of living beings, making it extremely complex and almost impossible for Immortal Dao cultivators to absorb or utilize.
However, this substance is highly beneficial to the Blood Moon Secret Realm.
Yang Tianyou paid a certain price to exchange it for something else, intending to put it into the Blood Moon Secret Realm to help the Secret Realm grow.
After the sea of blood disappeared, a desolate and ruined Secret Realm was left behind.
However, Yang Tianyou, Eight Desolations Saber Saint, and the others were still overjoyed. As long as the Secret Realm Origin remained intact, the Flowers, Plants, and Trees, and trees would soon regrow.
Inside the main hall, the high-ranking officials of the four Sacred Lands sat in their respective positions, discussing the division of the spoils of war.
The Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm is naturally the most valuable spoils of war. Although the Eight Desolations Saber Saint refined the origin, it does not mean that this Secret Realm belongs to the Four Symbols Alliance.
The other Three Great Sacred Lands refused to budge, thwarting the Four Symbols Alliance's plan to monopolize the Secret Realm.
However, the Four Symbols Alliance, which possesses the Secret Realm Origin, still occupies the most valuable central part of the Secret Realm, while the other places are distributed to the Three Great Sacred Lands according to the size of their Merit.
As for the garrison mission arranged by the Alliance Headquarters, it was pieced together by the four Sacred Lands. In fact, there was not much pressure. It was just to monitor the Devil Cultivators, not to start a war.
After the territory of the Secret Realm itself was divided, the remaining spoils were various movable resources of the Blood-Slaying Dao Secret Realm.
Even if the resources of an entire Holy Land-level Force were divided equally among the four Sacred Lands, they would still be raking in the profits.
Of course, it's impossible to divide it equally; it will still be divided according to the size of the contribution.
After deducting the share allocated to the Secret Realms, the Seven Stars Sacred Land received the most, followed by the Four Symbols Alliance, then the Qiankun Holy Land and the Mystic Light Sacred Land.
The resources acquired by the Four Symbols Alliance amounted to approximately 30% of the total resources of the Blood-Slaying Dao.
This resource was entirely added to the Four Symbols Alliance's Resource Treasury, and each member's contribution was converted into the Alliance Contribution Points.
Because the Yang Household provided inside information, they received a large number of Contribution Points. Yang Tianyou kept 50% of them and exchanged the rest for various resources that the Lineage urgently needed.
After gaining control of the Secret Realm Origin, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint established a new Secret Realm Portal on the Four Symbols Island, which was jointly guarded by Spirit Transformation cultivators dispatched by the four Sacred Lands.
