Chapter 340 Outer Sea
Refining Void!
Vice Sect Leader!
Presiding over a region!
The impact of these pieces of information intertwined into one, but it didn't cause Qi Sha to become more confused; on the contrary, it made him quickly calm down.
Alkaid, the Junior Sect Leader...
No!
It should be Vice Sect Leader now.
To achieve Refining Void, he only needed to return to the Sect one more time, and he would soon become the fourth Vice Sect Leader of Heavenly Dao Sect, in charge of the Southern Region which currently lacked a Vice Sect Leader.
That was a wealthy land that could provide over a hundred million Pure Yang Great Pills in revenue each year.
Even if half of those profits had to be paid to the Sect, it was still upwards of fifty million. Merely taking out a fraction of it would easily support his daily cultivation.
In the future, achieving Refining Void was hopeful.
Not to mention that Alkaid was suspected of having the support of an Artifact Sage. Once he reached Refining Void, he, too, could handle a mysterious Dao Artifact and ponder over Dao Techniques.
With this thought, Qi Sha had no more hesitation. He stepped forward solemnly, bowed, and said, "From now on, Qi Sha is willing to recognize Alkaid Sect Leader as master, following the master's commands as if they were a divine decree."
"Good."
Alkaid, with a smile, stepped forward to help him up immediately: "With your assistance, Qi Sha, even if the situation in the assigned territory is perilous by that time, I will have enough confidence to deal with it with ease."
"I will not disappoint you, master."
Qi Sha earnestly said.
Having gained Qi Sha's allegiance, the relationship between the two visibly grew closer.
As the warship proceeded towards the Outer Sea, Alkaid also came to a better understanding of this Hall Master.
This Hollow Void Elder truly had an unmatched reputation among True Disciples a thousand years ago.
Although his best achievement was only the third True Disciple, it wasn't because his strength was lacking, but because he didn't have the same heritage and equipment as the two people ranked first and second.
Moreover, he was introduced to Supreme Divine Powers much later than many True Disciples.
Even so, he was able to rise to third place subsequently.
It was just unfortunate that he was too proud at the time. He rejected the olive branches extended by many Hollow Void Elders and even Void Refinement Realm Peak Masters and Vein Masters, which caused some of the smaller-minded Elders to feel unsatisfied and suppress him in secret, frequently assigning him Sect tasks that took a very long time to complete, seriously affecting his cultivation time. As a result, when he achieved Hollow Void, he was nearly four hundred years old and had missed the opportunity to become a Junior Sect Leader.
After he became a Hollow Void, there were also people who wanted to recruit him into their factions.
He rejected them all, eventually resulting in a demotion to the Heavenly Casualty War Hall, gradually fading into oblivion.
Of course, "fading into oblivion" is in comparison to his unmatched prominence as a True Disciple.
In reality, among his peers who advanced to True Disciple status, it's doubtful any were stronger than him.
After a heartfelt exchange, Alkaid also had an adequate understanding of Qi Sha.
"If I'm not mistaken, the Dao Technique you're cultivating is the Sect's Annihilation Sword Qi, isn't it?"
"Indeed, it is."
Qi Sha nodded, "Does the master also study this Dao Technique?"
"Yes, I considered this Dao Technique at the time. However, due to the nature of my constitution, I ultimately chose the aspect I was proficient in and planted the Void Dao Seed."
While speaking, Alkaid took out a Crystal Stone, poured Divine Sense into it, and handed it to Qi Sha: "This is my understanding of this Great Dao. You take a look, I hope it can be of help to you."
"Thank you, master."
Although Qi Sha didn't think Alkaid, a Hollow Void cultivating the Great Void Path, would have any profound research on the Great Path of Destruction, he naturally would not refuse a gift from his master and took it.
"In addition, I have not yet returned to the Sect to be promoted to Vice Sect Leader, so in the presence of others, we should still maintain the previous form of address,"
Alkaid said.
Qi Sha nodded.
But...
As one of the core Daos, the Soul Dao was incredibly difficult to master.
This Hollow Void Elder has reached Cave Heaven Perfection three thousand years ago and yet has never been able to integrate his Soul Dao Seed with Cave Heaven to advance to Refining Void. To this date, still languishing in the Hollow Void Realm, he is over eight thousand years old.
In contrast, those from his era who cultivated the Void Path, assuming they did not perish midway, had almost all entered the Void Refinement Realm.
When he learned that Penglai Dao Lord had established the Penglai Immortal Sect, he immediately volunteered and became one of the Elders of the sect.
"Has True Monarch Alkaid made up his mind? Are you willing to lure out the Heaven-Devouring Demon King?"
True Monarch Hailing's eyes held a hint of mirth, "The promises made by our cold Sect Leader are still valid."
"I'm afraid I will have to disappoint the True Monarch and Deputy Sect Leader Leng."
Alkaid calmly replied, as a subtle whiff of Void Path's essence emanated from him, "I have already condensed the Void Dao Seed, making it no easy task to lure out the Heaven-Devouring Demon King."
At this revelation, True Monarch Hailing's expression stiffened slightly, ultimately sighing, "True Monarch Alkaid... you're being short-sighted. A fine opportunity to obtain a Dao Artifact laid before you, and yet you did not seize it... Alas..."
"It's alright, as long as I can find the Heaven-Devouring Demon King, the Contribution Value I get won't be much less than what a Dao Artifact would offer." Stay tuned with My Virtual Library Empire
Alkaid responded with a smile.
"Finding the Heaven-Devouring Demon King... Among his squad is a Demon King that has cultivated from a Great Dao Golden Cicada, its wariness is beyond high. How difficult it must be to locate them?"
True Monarch Hailing shook his head full of regret.
He even lost interest in continuing the conversation with Alkaid, made a courteous gesture and said, "Then I can only wish you all good luck, farewell."
Alkaid politely returned the gesture.
The group formed by four Hollow Void Elders quickly escaped with Escaping Light, vanishing into the farthest ends of the sky.
"Even True Monarch Hailing has been brought into the picture, it looks like Penglai Immortal Sect is under quite some pressure."
Alkaid muttered to himself.
"Being pushed to this point by a Demon King, it has put the Penglai Immortal Sect in a not-so-glorious light, with many forces watching and laughing. As far as I know, more than half of the Hollow Void Elders from Penglai Immortal Sect are here."
Qi Sha, who also emerged upon hearing the conversation, added.
"Finished watching?"
Alkaid cast a glance his way.
"I gained a lot."
Qi Sha replied excitedly, "I feel I have a whole new understanding of the Great Annihilation Sword Qi I have cultivated for hundreds of years. If fast, it will take tens of years, if slow, a hundred, but I will certainly cultivate this Dao Technique to the Minor Perfection Realm."
"Then I'll wait for your good news."
Alkaid replied with a smile.
"All thanks to the Lord's assistance."
Qi Sha responded in kind.
Then he turned his gaze towards the distance, "We have reached the Outer Sea, how do we proceed in searching for the Heaven-Devouring Demon King?"
"No need to try too hard, the sea area is vast, searching for the Heaven-Devouring Demon King's squad is like finding a needle in the ocean."
Alkaid paused for a moment, "We have to make them come to us on their own initiative."
"Let them come to us willingly?"
Qi Sha was startled, "How so?"
"It's simple, we hunt other Demon Kings, and the more we kill, the less likely these Demon Kings will be able to sit still."
No sooner had Alkaid finished speaking than he soared into the air, keeping pace with the warship, when True Spirit's Light was deployed.
In the deep recesses of his mind, it seemed as if an orb of light appeared, shining towards all directions.
The orb glittered brightly.
Yet towards the north, it revealed a faint dimness.
Immediately, Alkaid pointed northward, "Over there."
