Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 372 - 369: The Eight Immortals in Charge, Supreme Prestige
Chapter 372: Chapter 369: The Eight Immortals in Charge, Supreme Prestige
Before the grand Demon God Palace Square, a towering Space Gate some dozen yards in height stood at a position a hundred yards above the ground.
The reason for placing the Space Gate in midair was not for ostentation or to show off, but rather because the most crucial spot of the spatial node was right there—Elder Kongkong hence had no choice but to embed the Space Gate in the sky.
The cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect did not overthrow the Demon God Palace and rebuild it into a more suitable dwelling for cultivators. This realm’s Spiritual Energy was deeply infused with Demonic Qi; cultivators wishing to cultivate had to cautiously refine the Spiritual Energy, extracting the Demonic Qi before proceeding. Constructing an Immortal’s domain in such a place rife with Demonic Qi felt out of place, so it was better to leave it as it was.
It was also to let those cultivators visiting the Red Flame Demon Realm broaden their horizons, witnessing the unique Demon God Palace of the Demon Realm, showing them that this place was once the abode of a Demon God comparable to a top-level Profound Immortal.
Even a Demon God of such formidable strength had been slayed by the Supreme Elders of the alliance, thus ordinary cultivators coming here would likely not harbor ill intentions out of greed towards the alliance’s cultivators.
Before the vast Demon God Hall, groups of sect cultivators arrived in succession, standing in their respective places under the direction of the many Elders, roughly counting up, there were nearly two hundred thousand cultivators gathered here, all prepared to return to their respective sects.
Among them were also many Inner Sect Elders from various sects, each carrying numerous Space Magical Treasures filled with various Cultivation Resources of this realm.
Once these items were brought back, whether used directly by the disciples or sold to other forces, they represented a colossal wealth.
The only downside was that they required refining to eliminate the Demonic Qi before use, which decreased the value of these resource treasures by about twenty to thirty percent.
However, a large part of these were exclusive to the Red Flame Demon Realm, possessing unique effects and special treasures, presumably able to fetch even higher prices.
Although the departure of so many cultivators at once could be disadvantageous to the war effort, it didn’t matter—in no time, the sects would dispatch an even larger number of cultivators to continue the conquest.
Letting these cultivators return first aimed to show their respective gains to their fellow disciples, thus igniting the enthusiasm of those who stayed behind.
After all, not all disciples were interested in expeditions from the start, as conquering a world required many lives to be sacrificed.
But when these cultivators returned with their spoils, once those who remained behind saw significant benefits, they were expected to cast aside thoughts of life and death, eagerly vying for an opportunity to enter the Red Flame Demon Realm among their fellow disciples, blushing and arguing heatedly.
Within the Demon God Hall, Gui Ling Ancestor sat above, with the other sect Supreme Elders seated on both sides.
For Gui Ling Ancestor, this expedition was the biggest winner for the Beast Taming Sect, having gained countless resources from the Red Flame Demon Realm; he himself even found an opportunity to achieve the Immortal Golden Immortal status, and even several other Supreme Elders had each gained their spoils.
Furthermore, Ning Wuxu had taken a crucial step, breaking through the shackles; all he awaited was the return to his sect to fully comprehend his Dao, and then he could Prove Dao and Become an Immortal.
And Ning Wuxu was just the first to reap such great benefits from the Druid Transformation Technique—more and more Beast Taming Sect Elders and disciples were believed to benefit from this technique in time.
Elder Liuling had already started strategizing on how to relocate all the Elemental Elves from the Elf Forest to the Ten Thousand Demons Cave without alerting the Nature God System’s All Gods; should he succeed, the number of disciples within the Creation Lineage would surge. Without exaggeration, at least a few dozen more disciples could be expected annually.
With nearly half of the resources from a Medium World supporting the cultivation of the Beast Taming Sect disciples, one could imagine how immense the sect’s development would become.
Gui Ling Ancestor was already considering how to utilize the resources of the Red Flame Demon Realm to train even more disciples.
Upon his return, he would seek counsel with Jue Tian Ancestor, preparing the Inner Sect’s many Elders, not only to double the number of Outer Sect recruits but to increase the advancement from Outer to Inner Sect by tenfold. Only by such means could the sect maintain a more rapid development state and emerge as a top-level Major Sect.
Of course, various resources are still prioritized for Inner Sect Disciples, especially for those original Golden Core Cultivators. It is believed that with the large supply of resources, more cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm will soon be born, becoming Inner Sect Elders.
Only with a sufficient number of Inner Sect Elders can such a vast sect be managed.
“This expedition was a complete victory for our alliance of cultivators, and those demons that were left behind were deliberately left by us as whetstones for the disciples; they will not stir up any significant trouble.”
Elder Gui Ling’s face was full of smiles as he looked at the Supreme Elders of the various sects and said, “This time, not only will the disciples outside be teleported back, but also most of the Daoist Fellows present will return to their sects.
However, the demons do not recognize our rule, and with the influence of the World Will, within the next decade or so, not only will there be constant wars, but I have calculated that the Qi Fortune of the Red Flame Demon Realm should still produce a few more Demon Gods.
Although the newly advanced Demon Gods are generally not very powerful, in order to be safe, we still need to leave a few Daoist Fellows behind in this realm to prevent any Demonic God from slaughtering our sect’s disciples.”
Upon hearing these words, the Supreme Elders of the other sects couldn’t help but softly discuss among themselves for a while.

Someone asked after a moment, “Daoist Fellow Gui Ling, all the gods of the Demon Realm have been slain by us, and we have already occupied half of this territory. How much of the Demon Clan’s Qi Fortune remains that Demon Gods can still emerge? We must be wary of this.”
“It is true, we do not have a large number of sect disciples, and we cannot afford the slaughter by Demon Gods; we really need to take precautions.”
“Everyone, please remain calm.”
Elder Gui Ling waved his hands and laughed, saying, “The Demon Clan has lived in this realm for countless years, and its Qi Fortune is profound; it’s not so easily extinguished. Moreover, we deliberately left so many demons unexterminated, their ability to strike back as a last resort is normal.
However, everyone need not worry too much. According to my deductions, this is their last burst of resistance. Once the final reserves of the Demon Clan are exhausted, even if the World Will still has resentments, it will no longer be able to do anything to us. From then on, this world will be at our disposal to take or plunder without further resistance.
If the esteemed elders are willing, there is no problem even if we remodel this world. However, this would require a long time and mastery over the Heavenly Dao Laws, which you probably don’t have the energy to do. Besides, compared to remodeling a world, it is far more profitable to conquer a new one.”
At these words, all the Immortals below immediately laughed.
Having tasted the sweetness of this world, they would certainly not choose to transform the Red Flame Demon Realm into a place suitable for Immortal Cultivators to practice; instead, they would rather wait a few years and continue their expeditions following the footsteps of the Beast Taming Sect.
Elder Gui Ling continued, “Nevertheless, we must not take this lightly, and we should be cautious of the new Demon Gods sacrificing the lives of many ordinary Demon Clan members to summon Abyss Experts. Even though there are no high-level Demon Gods to preside over the summoning array, and ordinary Demon Gods may not be able to summon very powerful beings, we must still be vigilant.
Thus, as the leading sect of this expedition, my Beast Taming Sect will leave behind one Heavenly Immortal and one True Immortal.
Additionally, under normal circumstances, both Jue Tian Ancestor and I will be stationed at the Mountain Gate and will not venture out easily. If the Demon Clan truly summons a strong Abyss Expert that cannot be countered, those staying behind simply need to send a message through the Space Gate, and either Jue Tian Ancestor or I, upon receiving the message, will come to aid immediately. So, in this regard, everyone can rest assured.
However, as it may be inadequate for just my Beast Taming Sect to leave behind two Supreme Elders, the rest of you may not feel secure about letting your disciples battle alone in this realm. I wonder if any other Daoist Fellow is willing to stay and preside over this realm for a period.”
The Supreme Elders of each sect glanced at one another and began to discuss quietly.
Before long, Elder Heavenly Spider of the Five Poisons Sect spoke up, “My Five Poisons Sect will also leave a Heavenly Immortal to preside over. After those demons no longer serve the purpose of tempering our disciples, we will then dispatch a True Immortal to replace them.”
From across the way, Xia Chunyang, the Supreme Elder of the Ghost Controlling Sect, chuckled lightly, “In that case, my Ghost Controlling Sect cannot appear too shabby. We will also leave a Heavenly Immortal behind.”
Beside them, Elder Fiery Fire pondered for a moment and said, “Indeed, there is no longer much risk in this world, but I would like to stay here for the time being to explore the origin of the Fire Dao in the Red Flame Demon Realm and see if I can learn a thing or two. In a few years, when I plan to return, I will have disciples and grandchildren from our sect take over.”
“Very well.”
Elder Gui Ling smiled and said, “With Daoist Fellow Fiery Fire staying behind, we can rest assured. Even if the Demon Clan manages to summon Abyss lords from the first few layers, Daoist Fellow Fiery Fire will be capable of dealing with them.”
Through numerous records of the Demon Clan, he was aware that the deeper the layer in the Abyss, the stronger the lord, but the lords from the first twenty or so layers likely did not possess Immortal Realm strength. They were probably at the peak of high-rank Demon Gods. Elder Fiery Fire, supported by other Immortals, was certainly capable of slaying Abyss lords of high-rank Demon God level.
“I am also willing to stay for a few years.”
An old Daoist with a venerable appearance sighed softly, “The number of disciples at my Bright Moon Temple of Qingfeng Mountain is few, and I really do not feel at ease about the disciples who have come to wage war, so I would like to stay behind and secretly protect them for a while.
“However, Bright Moon Temple has only me as a True Immortal. I am not strong enough, and I have my hands full overseeing the Red Flame Demon Realm. I will need the assistance of other Daoist fellows for my sect. I hope that with the sudden acquisition of so many resources, other sects will not take advantage of us.”
“Rest assured, Daoist Fellow.”
Elder Gui Ling said with a smile, “Now that we have formed an alliance, we should help each other. You just need to stay in the Red Flame Demon Realm. Later on, I will give you a Communication Spirit Talisman for you to pass on to the disciple guarding Bright Moon Temple. If there is trouble, they need only activate the talisman, and Beast Taming Sect will send someone to help.
“The same goes for the Daoist fellows from other sects. If you are in danger, you can call for help, and Beast Taming Sect will offer full support. Of course, it is more convenient if the Daoist fellows from sects are close in proximity, and I hope that if you notice other sects in danger, you will also go and lend a hand.”
“That is how it should be.”
Upon hearing this, the Supreme Elders of the various sects nodded in agreement.
Even a Major Sect like Beast Taming Sect knew to form alliances with other sects, so these medium and small sects would certainly understand the principle of seeking warmth in numbers.
In this expedition, every sect had acquired countless cultivation resources, and to be honest, even medium sects felt it was somewhat dangerous to bring back so many resources all at once, let alone those small sects with just one or two Immortals.
With the promise from Elder Gui Ling, plus pledges of mutual help from the other sects, everyone present felt much more at ease.
Elder Gui Ling actively brought this up mainly to firmly tie these sects to Beast Taming Sect’s chariot.
Unless it was waging war on a Low Rank World that Beast Taming Sect could handle single-handedly, any conflict in a world of medium rank or higher would require the cooperation of the Supreme Elders from various sects and the mobilization of their vast number of junior disciples.
Otherwise, the Supreme Elders of Beast Taming Sect alone were truly not enough to suppress tens or hundreds of Divine beings. Even an Immortal Golden Immortal like Elder Gui Ling could not face so many Divine beings alone, not to underestimate the countless ordinary creatures within each Medium World, which required the junior cultivators from various sects to wage war.
Otherwise, you cannot expect these Immortals to go slaughter those ordinary warriors. Just like in the Red Flame Demon Realm, if you really wanted to gather them, you could still muster up hundreds of millions of warriors. It’s not that the Supreme Elders couldn’t kill them all, but doing so would entangle them with karma, which would hinder their cultivation!
Cultivators cultivate the Longevity Dao, not the Killing Dao. To truly slaughter millions of beings, one would accumulate too much resentment. This could taint one’s mind, leading either to the Demon Path or twisting their nature, making it impossible to comprehend the Dao.
And that was just for the Medium Worlds. For High Rank Worlds, even if Beast Taming Sect, Five Poisons Sect, and Ghost Controlling Sect, these three Major Sects, were to dispatch all their forces, it would still not be enough. Therefore, there would be many more opportunities for cooperation in the future, and it was necessary to have even closer alliances with other sects.
In the end, aside from Elder Fiery Fire, a Profound Immortal who stayed behind, there were also three Heavenly Immortals and four True Immortals from the three Major Sects, making a total of eight Immortals staying in the Red Flame Demon Realm.
Seeing that matters had been settled, Elder Gui Ling said, “Don’t worry. Even after our junior disciples have fully conquered this realm, Beast Taming Sect will have Supreme Elders taking turns to oversee this world and will not allow too powerful Demon Clan experts to cause destruction.
“Alright, the matters of this world will now be handled by the Daoist fellows who stay behind. Please take good care of the disciples of various sects and ensure they are not bullied by newly promoted Demon Gods.”
Elder Fiery Fire laughed heartily, “You can rest easy, Daoist Fellow Gui Ling. With me here, nothing will go wrong.”
“That would be excellent.”
Elder Gui Ling stood up, “Now, let us return to our Biluo Great World, lest we keep the disciples outside waiting too long.”
“Agreed!”
All Immortals answered in unison, standing up and following Elder Gui Ling out of the Demon God Hall towards the Space Gate outside.
“Respectfully greeting Elder Gui Ling, and greetings to all elders.”
On the square, nearly two hundred thousand disciples from various sects bowed and paid their respects enthusiastically.
“No need for such formality, my disciples.”
Elder Gui Ling smiled faintly, his gentle voice clearly reaching every cultivator’s ears, “We return victorious from this expedition, and you all have made contributions. When you return to your respective sects, I hope you all cultivate diligently. In the future, I look forward to conquering the Void Ten Thousand Realms with you!”
This declaration instantly stirred excitement among the countless disciples below.
Not mentioning how relatively easy this expedition had been, nor the bountiful loot they had acquired.
Just the fact that Elder Gui Ling, an Immortal Golden Immortal of such status, personally declared he would join them in the conquest of the Void, flattening Ten Thousand Worlds, was an honor beyond measure for them.
“We will follow the elder’s decree!”
“Don’t worry, elder. Once we return to our sects, we will cultivate diligently. In the future, we will follow in your footsteps, conquer Ten Thousand Worlds, and bring glory to our Biluo!”
“That’s right, our Biluo Great World is the strongest. To conquer Ten Thousand Worlds, to proclaim our name, to plunder resources, and to strengthen our sect!”
For a moment, the crowd below was in a tumultuous uproar, with many voices echoing different sentiments.
The Supreme Elders of various sects had slightly odd expressions on their faces.
Fortunately, this was not a worldly dynasty, and the disciples below were not mundane military forces. They were not concerned that Elder Gui Ling’s high esteem would usurp their authority.
Otherwise, anyone witnessing this scene would feel disconcerted.
