Grand Purity's Scheme!

In the Wei Kingdom, on the main peak of the Grand Purity Sect, the sea of clouds surges.

The main hall is extremely high, with a dome inlaid with Zhoutian Star Array. Starlight falls and shines into the hall, making it sparkle brilliantly.

True Lord Qingxuan sat cross-legged on the jade platform, dressed in a blue and white Daoist robe. His aura became increasingly upright and peaceful, as if he were one with heaven and earth. His aura was calm, restrained, and contained.

On either side of the main hall stood a group of Nascent Soul True Lord from the Grand Purity.

"The One Qi Dao Gate Sect won't last much longer."

"Qinglie, that Lightning Bear in the Myriad Demon Domain is ruthless and insidious. He's using Heavenly Demon City as bait to undermine the defenses of the One Qi Dao Gate. If this continues, the Profound Truth Kingdom will be in grave danger. Shouldn't we...?"

"No need."

"Saving the One Qi Dao Gate will not benefit my Grand Purity Sect at all."

As the sect leader, True Lord Qinglie prioritized the interests of Grand Purity. In his view, Grand Purity only needed to remain inactive and wait for the situation to change.

Why meddle in mainland affairs? It's pointless.

"That little Daoist priest, Wenxuan, has overreached himself these past few years; under the guise of recuperation, he has secretly annexed a considerable amount of resources."

"Let him suffer a little, shed some blood, so that the rules of the Profound Spirit Continent can be upheld."

At this point, True Lord Qingxuan expressed his agreement with Qinglie's opinion.

He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked down from the jade platform.

"Compared to the One Qi Dao Gate, I care more about the Supreme Purity Sect."

True Lord Qingxuan stopped and looked westward. "More than fifty years. That old devil Purple Yang hasn't shown his face for over fifty years."

"Lightning Bear's repeated provocations were a test of all sides, but Purple Yang didn't show himself or reveal any of his aura. This is normal."

Upon hearing this, the Nascent Soul in the hall exchanged bewildered glances.

"Does the Grand Elder mean... that something happened to True Lord Purple Yang?"

"In the battle against the Liang Kingdom, Purple Yang was already weakened, and later, the Supreme Purity Sect's millennium plan was destroyed, which further damaged his spirit."

"He's either in deep seclusion, or... he's already passed away."

These words elicited varied reactions within the hall.

If Purple Yang passes away, the Supreme Purity Sect will only have two Nascent Soul Middle Stage left, one of whom will still have old injuries, while the other four will all be at the Nascent Soul Early Stage.

Meanwhile, the Grand Purity Sect possesses three Venerable Nascent Soul Middle Stage: Qingxuan, Qinglie, Zhaohuo. This is absolutely the perfect opportunity to gradually erode the Supreme Purity Sect!

"Elder, if Purple Yang is dead, should we immediately send troops to the Clear Blue Kingdom?"

True Lord Lieyang immediately volunteered.

True Lord Qingxuan shook his head. "The Myriad Demon Domain has troops stationed in the Profound Truth Kingdom, and the Flood Dragon Domain is eyeing us covetously in the south. There's no need."

"If we push them too far, and Fang Yi and Yuanshang drag us down with them, who will ultimately benefit?"

"They are Demon Race."

True Lord Qingxuan turned around and walked back to the jade platform.

"That bear from the Myriad Demon Domain is highly skilled, subduing enemies without a fight; if they can do it, my Grand Purity Sect can too."

Having said that, Qingxuan raised his hand and drew a line in the air with his fingertip.

A huge map of the Profound Spirit Continent appeared in mid-air, spanning the six states of the Wei Kingdom and pointing to the northernmost point.

That place was once the homeland of the Profound Purity Sect, and is now the Heavenly Ape Demon Domain.

"The Heavenly Ape Domain is isolated in the north, backed by the Boundless Sea."

Currently, only three Sea Ape Demon King are stationed within the region; that old monkey Yuan Shan has repeatedly tested and demonstrated his power at the border over the years.

"The Demon Race threatened Profound Truth, so we forced the Demon Race to the north."

It is said that True Lord Qinglie seemed to be deep in thought:

"If that's the case, then we'll mobilize the two northern states and send cultivation Lineage and sects to the north to await orders."

"The main army should first assemble at the northern border."

"The Myriad Demon Domain can transform soil into demons; our sect can also proceed step by step, extracting its Spirit Vein to build cities and set up formations."

"We can emulate the Myriad Demon Domain and gradually carve out the territory of the Heavenly Ape Domain, inch by inch, to reclaim our Human Race's spiritual land."

"First, apply some pressure and see how everyone reacts."

"If they receive no help, that side has the opportunity to break the deadlock; if the Demon Race race helps, they can turn their attention to gradually eroding Supreme Purity."

"This is a good opportunity to test the true state of Old Ghost Purple Yang."

Inside the main hall, all the Nascent Soul nodded, and the matter was settled.

Soon, the massive war machine of the Grand Purity Sect, after more than fifty years of silence, finally began to run again.

They made no attempt to conceal their actions, deploying troops and generals without any attempt at concealment.

The mobilization of 100,000 cultivators was a massive undertaking. Huge spirit ships rose from all over Wei Kingdom, blotting out the sky as they converged on the north.

Large quantities of array materials, Spirit Stone, and Law Artifact were transported to the border like flowing water.

Human Race righteousness? Limbs falling, teeth falling?

Faced with absolute self-interest, the members of the Grand Purity Sect chose the most ruthless path, one that best served the Grand Purity Sect's interests.

Taking advantage of the fact that the One Qi Dao Gate was tied up and the Supreme Purity Sect was preoccupied with its own problems, they chose to gradually encroach on the Heavenly Ape Domain, plunder the Demon Race, and strengthen themselves!

Heavenly Ape Domain, Heaven-Supporting Peak.

The mountain peaks soar into the clouds, resembling a giant pillar piercing the sky.

At the summit, a giant ape with dark blue skin and bulging muscles sat cross-legged on a piece of ancient ice. It was ten zhang tall and its body was constantly growing stronger with each breath!

Buzz!!

Ripples spread through the void, and a monkey demon shrouded in a black robe knelt on one knee before Monkey Mountain to report:

"Your Majesty, the Grand Purity Sect's army has assembled at the border of the Wei Kingdom."

"A rough estimate suggests that the number of cultivators gathered has exceeded 50,000; hundreds of spirit boats and warships are currently setting up camp and deploying at the border."

"It seems they intend to gradually erode our strength."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Shan slowly opened his eyes.

A gust of demonic wind swept through, instantly transforming into a burly man. The mere glimpse of his aura tore the sea of clouds apart.

"These hypocrites from Grand Purity, instead of saving the One Qi Dao Gate, are now plotting against me?"

"Is this some kind of trickery they're using, like Shi Jian, that stinking bear?"

"Shi Jian is targeting the One Qi Dao Gate because the Profound Truth Kingdom is weak and Human Race support. Does the Grand Purity Heavenly Ape Domain think it's an easy target?"

"Pass down the order."

"Summon the Demon King of the Mountain-Moving and Sea-Overturning tribes. Since Qingxuan wants to play, then I, this king, will play along with them."

"I'd like to see whether the Grand Purity Sect has the toughest backbone, or my own club!"

"Such a golden opportunity, I imagine the Flood Dragon's allies would be delighted to see, and that stinking bear would be just as pleased."

"The real show is about to begin!"
