The great cultivators of the Four Gates likewise had their own intelligence channels. They knew this matter was true, and all of them were secretly throwing obstacles in its path.
They too were unwilling to see Thunderclap Temple and Water-Moon Palace produce another Spirit Transformation cultivator, one who would crush the East Sea beneath their weight for thousands of years!
But to bare one's arms and wade in directly like Heavenfiend Old Monster had done was still far too blatant—a complete tearing away of all pretense.
"Just as expected, the demonic path is still the demonic path!"
Dongmen Jin sneered inwardly when Heavenfiend Old Monster's voice reached his ears. "Furthermore... I have already informed the other two islands of this matter. Shang Clan Island will not obstruct us, and Talisman Sword Island has agreed as well."
At those words, Dongmen Jin and Heavenly Mechanism Elder immediately changed expression.
"It seems... there was another hidden truth behind Fellow Daoist's acquisition of that Heaven-Connecting Numinous Treasure and your clash with the two island masters..."
Heavenly Mechanism Elder said with a faint smile.
"Since we are joining hands to accomplish great things, naturally I had to weigh the measure of those two fellow Daoists..."
Heavenfiend Old Monster said, "We are all small sects and humble households, without ancestors who became Spirit Transformation cultivators. Could it be that none of us wishes to reach Spirit Transformation? In this siege against those two great powers, I can promise this: if the opportunity for Spirit Transformation can be replicated, everyone gets a share. If it consists of pills or other treasures, then each shall rely on their own ability..."
They would fight for the opportunity to reach Spirit Transformation!
This was an enormous benefit, enough to stir even Nascent Soul Late Stage great cultivators!
