Chapter 736: Chapter 637: Unexpected Gain, Two Forms Sect (Combined Chapter)

"Eh, I dare not accept this." Shen Ao humbly replied this time,

"The seven major sects of the Immortal Alliance, like the Wuliang Sword Sect and Taiyi Sect, have stood at the pinnacle of the Vast Sea Realm for tens of thousands of years, with a profound foundation beyond our imagination.

The demons born from them, I dare not compare in any way."

"Hey, let’s not discuss the seven top sects for now.

Among the twenty-four upper sects of the Immortal Alliance, I believe Brother Shen stands out." said the black-armored cultivator surnamed Cao.

"The twenty-four upper sects... I did meet a prodigy from the Two Forms Sect in the Abyss, and we consider each other brothers." Shen Ao didn’t directly affirm the words of cultivator Cao.

But the fact that he could make connections with cultivators from the twenty-four upper sects meant his talent was indeed recognized by them.

Since ancient times, dragons do not dwell with snakes, sheep do not associate with wolves.

"Two Forms Sect?"

Lou Yi had also learned some about the ecology of the Vast Sea Realm.

The seven major sects are exalted.

Sects like Xuan Yin Sect, Wuliang Sword Sect, Taiyi Sect, Lotus Sect, and Five Elements Sect are giant sects, each having at least one Nascent Soul True Monarch presiding within.

Each boasts a brilliant history of unmatched strength in this realm, making it hard for them to lack a True Monarch. Their deep foundation is unimaginable to ordinary people.

Beneath these are the twenty-four upper sects, all having had a True Monarch at some point in their history to be dubbed upper sects.

However, compared to the seven major sects, the foundation of the twenty-four upper sects is much weaker.

They often relied on sheer luck to give birth to a single True Monarch, and later on struggled to birth new True Monarchs.

But in sects like Thunder Shock Sect and Two Forms Sect, there are often no less than a handful of Golden Core Masters guarding the sect.

Below the upper sects, many sects need over three Masters to qualify for entrance to the Immortal Alliance, their strength not matching that of the Northern Domain sects.

The four sects of the northern provinces of Central Continent have yet to have a sect qualified to join the Immortal Alliance, with only Red Sun Sect showing some potential.

Shen Ao’s ability to brotherly bond with a prodigy of the Two Forms Sect speaks to his talent, reputed as the strongest in True Blood Sect over thousands of years.

"Are the cultivators of the twenty-four upper sects very strong? I’d like to find a chance to compete and see." Upon hearing this, Jin Tingfeng, eager to display his mighty attributes, joined the conversation.

"How much do all of you know about the Five Elements Sect?" Lou Yi asked in a grave voice upon hearing the name of the Five Elements Sect again.

The Martial Artist’s intuition, along with countless uses of divination talent,

had long revealed the tragic fate of the Extreme Fist Sect, including the former sect leader Wei Youdao, Great Elder Zhou Bufeng, and many sect members.

All slaughtered by the Five Elements Sect...

Aware of the massive strength of the Five Elements Sect, he has kept his hatred buried deep in his heart.

Now that the opportunity has arisen, he naturally wants to learn more.

"The Five Elements Sect is situated on the northern side of Longjiang River, separated by the river, always quite mysterious, seldom participating in the Immortal Alliance Conference." Shen Ao said,

"However, my friend from the Two Forms Sect once mentioned,

even among the seven major sects, the strength of the Five Elements Sect ranks relatively high..."

"Really." Lou Yi listened, squinting his eyes.

Given adequate time, he has the confidence to surpass any Master or True Monarch.

Settling the grudge with the Five Elements Sect is something he will eventually pursue.

The group continued chatting as they moved, soon arriving at the Fogless District surrounding the Fangsu District.

Shen Ao kept his promise, immediately taking out an ancient-looking black disc, activating it with Spiritual Essence, seemingly communicating with someone.

"The sect has already agreed to send the five-colored Lingzhi over in a few days!" Shen Ao proudly patted his chest, "What I’ve promised, I, Shen, will certainly accomplish!"

"Fellow Daoist Shen, you are a person of utmost integrity, I am impressed." Lou Yi smiled.

They soon passed through the Fogless District, about to step into Fangsu District.

At that moment, sounds of violent fighting and fluctuations of Spiritual Qi came from ahead.

"Is there a dispute?"

The group moved closer to get a better view.

In their vision, in the sky above, two powerful cultivators were engaged in fierce battle.

Upon seeing one of them, Jin Tingfeng’s face suddenly brightened with joy.

"It’s Fellow Daoist Gao!" he looked around, "He is the Two Forms Sect friend I mentioned to you previously!"
