As for whether Myriad Heavens Divine Sect's actions would provoke public outrage?
That was even more absurd.
The people of Myriad Heavens Divine Sect were not idiots. When they expanded, they did so within the limits other sects could tolerate; they were not expanding blindly.
Besides, they followed the rules of the game.
After all, everyone cared about saving face. How could a full-scale war be so easily stirred up?
They were no longer some hot-blooded youths who would rush into a fight the moment they disagreed.
That was impossible.
"Sigh, recruit. Recruit like mad. Throw resources at them. We must bring in two Daluo Golden Immortals—even one would do."
"Otherwise, once news of Elder Wang's death spreads three years from now, the other major sects will start making moves against us again."
The elder seated at the top said with a headache.
Elder Wang—that old fool had looked impressive but been useless, and he had taken plenty—but at the very least, his presence had served as a deterrent.
He was like a nuclear bomb. Even if it was never used, its deterrent was more than enough.
Now that Elder Wang was dead, that deterrent had greatly diminished.
"Sigh, this is the only way."
The other Daluo Golden Immortals also wore troubled expressions.
If no Daluo Golden Immortal joined Supreme Heavenly Palace within three years, then what Supreme Heavenly Palace would face would be division among the other powers.
Though those fellows would hold themselves back somewhat.
But if you took a little and I took a little, wouldn't that be carving flesh from their bodies?
"Everyone, disperse. This concerns every one of our interests, so take it seriously."
The elder above was also nursing a headache.
Even though he was a quasi-Saint powerhouse, there was nothing he could do.
