Immortality Starts With Ignorant Heart Sword Art

Chapter 243: The Un-crowned King!

"Kill Zhong Cang?"

"You fool, let's not even talk about whether we can kill him or not. After killing him, what do we do? Start a full-scale war with Cloud Firmament Sect?"

In the face of the mocking smile from the sect master Li Xiu, some people have already sensed that something is wrong. However, there are still those whose minds have been damaged due to practicing demonic techniques, and they only think about seeking revenge.

"If we have to go to war, then let's go to war. Right now, we are the alliance of the demonic sects, and Cloud Firmament Sect cannot defeat us..."

"Smack!"

That Gold Core elder felt that Cloud Firmament Sect was not a match for the demonic sect alliance. However, before he could finish his sentence, he was slapped from the sky to the ground.

The head of that Gold Core elder was smashed in half.

Even so, the sect master Li Xiu of Blood Sea Sect still held a grudge. He condensed the Blood Hand Seal and continuously slapped the half-dead Gold Core elder four or five times before Li Xiu coldly snorted.

"You brainless fool filled with dung! Give us back our demonic sect alliance! What do you think the demonic sect alliance is? A group of brothers who have sworn an oath with us? Even if they are our brothers, do you think those selfish individuals would fight to the death for our Blood Sea Sect against Cloud Firmament Sect?"

The continuous questioning left the demonic sect elders below speechless, and the surrounding cultivators remained silent as well.

As disciples of the demonic sect, they have a say in this matter. Therefore, after pondering in their hearts, these elders realized that if Cloud Firmament Sect were to conflict with another demonic sect, their own sect would not fully support them. They would only provide verbal support, beat around the bush, and watch from the sidelines.

They would only make a move when both sides are heavily injured, and they would extract benefits from both Cloud Firmament Sect and the heavily damaged demonic sect.

Considering that Cloud Firmament Sect is located adjacent to the Northern Abyss Demon Nation and serves as the frontline against the Monster Race, other Dao Sects would definitely not sit idly by if it were to weaken. Instead, they would provide strong support and resources.

These demonic sects are most likely to fight among themselves and gain benefits from each other.

"..."

Thinking of this, many demonic sect elders felt a tingling sensation on their scalps and abandoned the idea of tearing their faces with Cloud Firmament Sect.

However, allowing Zhong Cang to grow like this is also troublesome for the demonic sect.

Therefore, someone asked how to deal with Zhong Cang, and unsurprisingly, he was scolded by the sect master Li Xiu.

"What does it have to do with us if Zhong Cang grows up?"

"Ah, how is it unrelated? He is from the Dao Sect, and we are from the demonic sect. Dao and demonic... it seems like there really is no issue..."

Under the dangerous gaze of the sect master, that Gold Core elder's mind raced, and then he realized that Zhong Cang becoming the strongest doesn't have much impact on their Blood Sea Sect.

After all, the world is not simply divided into good and evil.

Cloud Firmament Sect is in the North Abyss Region, while their Blood Sea Sect is in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain. There is no fundamental conflict of interest between the two.

Even if Zhong Cang becomes the strongest, the most anxious ones would be the Northern Abyss Demon Nation, not them.

And even if the demon nation is destroyed, Cloud Firmament Sect intends to expand its influence by moving south (the North Abyss Region is in the far north).

The ones who should be anxious are the Dao Sects in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain.

After all, the best spiritual veins, spirit fields, spiritual mines, and other resource points in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain are all under the control of the Dao Sect.

When Cloud Firmament Sect moves south, they will only fight for those resource-rich territories, not the demonic sects located in remote wilderness.

If they were to fight to the death with Cloud Firmament Sect, the benefits gained by Cloud Firmament Sect would not be enough to compensate for their losses. Therefore, as long as they don't act recklessly, there is a high probability that Cloud Firmament Sect will not bother with them.

As for the current conflict between Cloud Firmament Sect and the demonic sects... the demonic sect elders are not stupid and know what the Dao Sect is planning.

They are well aware that if their sect wins against Cloud Firmament Sect in the mortal realm, the Dao Sects in Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain and several nearby regions will intervene the next day, afternoon, to "help" Cloud Firmament Sect drive away the external enemies.

It is only when they are defeated that they will receive support from the Dao Sect.

Of course, the Dao Sect's assistance to Cloud Firmament Sect is not out of goodwill.

As allies, it is reasonable to contribute and gain a share of the benefits, right?

Therefore, the people of the demonic sects are well aware that they have no chance of monopolizing the benefits of the mortal realm. They are not mortal enemies of Cloud Firmament Sect.

The act of killing Zhong Cang must not be done by themselves!

And just as they were thinking this, the Blood Sea Sect Master, Li Xiu, gave orders to several elders.

"Go, spread the rumor in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain that Zhong Cang poses a threat and has the potential to become the strongest, leading the Cloud Firmament Sect into the Transcendent Level and ruling the surrounding domains."

"...Yes, Sect Master."

This time, no one opposed the Sect Master's orders, as they understood his intentions.

They did not have the courage to kill Zhong Cang and engage in a full-scale war with the Cloud Firmament Sect.

But they did have the audacity to stir up trouble, watch others fight, and profit from it.

And there were far more people who thought this way.

As a result, a strange scene unfolded.

In the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, Zhong Cang continuously challenged the major sects and blocked their mountain gates.

This was an extremely humiliating matter for the major sects.

Not to mention, accidents happen, and during his challenges, Zhong Cang killed and injured countless people, causing many cultivators to fear and resent him even more.

As a result, rumors about the threat posed by Zhong Cang continued to escalate.

However, although Zhong Cang had a notorious reputation, everyone in the entire Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain, whether in the mountains, rivers, or hidden cultivators in the forests, knew about him.

But the number of cultivators who dared to confront Zhong Cang decreased.

In the end, when he went to pay respects to the mountains, no one dared to come out and fight him.

As for the anticipated siege by Gold Core cultivators, it never happened.

In this way, the title of the young king without a crown seemed to have fallen on his head.

This smooth progress was completely beyond Zhong Cang's expectations.

In response, Qingqiu, the senior, remained calm.

"You chose a good place. The Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain does not have any Transcendent Level sects, and during this period, there is no force vying for the Transcendent Level. Therefore, they cannot concentrate their power in one place."

Listening to Qingqiu's words, Zhong Cang felt that they made sense, but he did not notice that Qingqiu's gaze swept over the distant clouds.

And there, voices of conversation could be heard.

"Cang'er is indeed our sect's Qilin Disciple, but you are overestimating our Cloud Firmament Sect's ability to become a Transcendent Level sect. The Northern Ming Demon Nation is not simple. We all know that the land-based demon nations are only peripheral forces of the Monster Race. In the extreme north, the Northern Ming Ice Ocean definitely has Soul Formation and even *** old demons."

"It's those old monsters who fear the True Monarchs of the Central Continent's Eight Scenic Sects, Shangqing Sect, and Huangting Extreme Emptiness Sect. Otherwise, our Cloud Firmament Sect, and even your Heavenly Spirit Sect, would have been wiped out by those old demons long ago."

"Even if Zhong Cang can maintain his current level of suppression and continuously advance from Gold Core to Nascent Soul and even Soul Formation, what can we do against the Northern Ming Demon Nation? We can only protect ourselves."

"Expand outward? The Northern Ming Demon Nation won't allow it. Those True Monarchs in the Central Continent also hope that we can resist the North Abyss Region instead of engaging in internal conflicts with the human race..."

...

Zhong Cang was unaware of the high-level power struggle.

He was also unaware of how much the sect valued him.

Therefore, there were more than just Qingqiu, who protected him openly. There were also hidden experts protecting him.

And that was the reason why many sects did not besiege him—they knew that with the protection of those experts, he could not be killed.

At the same time, Zhong Cang was unaware that through a series of words, that expert had convinced the highest levels of many sects that he was not a threat.

Although he could only persuade the highest levels and not the lower levels, in this world where power was concentrated in oneself, the words of the highest levels were ten thousand times more effective than those of the lower levels.

Therefore, even though the lower levels vigorously propagated the "Zhong Cang threat theory," the decision-makers above still did not consider Zhong Cang to be dangerous.

In this way, with no one to stop him, Zhong Cang's invincible path became smoother and smoother. His title as the "King without a Crown" spread not only in the Cloud Dream Heavenly Domain but also in the surrounding regions.

In the end, Zhong Cang was even just flying around.

He was like an idol holding a concert, appearing in various places to spread his fame.

This kind of thing was tedious, but in order to completely walk the path of invincibility, he had no choice but to do it.

Fortunately, Zhong Cang, who was flying in the mist, was not idle.

Qingqiu had given him the sect's highest-level technique, the "Yellow Court Heart Sutra—Primordial Origin Limitless Cloud Firmament Diagram," which allowed Zhong Cang to spend most of his time studying and practicing this technique.
