In Shadow's view, the method of becoming stronger is not particularly important.

What matters is how to use this power once it is obtained.

Just like back then, when Lord Guo Yi fought with Shadow, in order to win, he used the Bloodthirsty Yin Yang Jue to absorb some of Shadow's power. Eventually, with Shadow's power, he enhanced his own strength and defeated Shadow.

Of course, later on, Guo Yi made a good compensation to Shadow.

...

The crowd watching the battle, upon hearing the description of the last wave of the fight by Yuan Mou, looked at Wang Ye with a hint of concern in their eyes.

If Wang Ye were merely a peak Harmonized Realm expert, they wouldn't feel anything.

They were also at the Pinnacle of Harmony Realm.

Why should they fear him?

However, when Wang Ye displayed his formidable learning and adaptability in combat during his fight with Yuan Lue, even defeating Yuan Lue directly—

The moment these people immediately took precautions.

Especially since Wang Ye would soon join forces with the Yuanling Sect.

The Sect Master Yuan Mou of the Yuanling Sect smiled, being far away, and these experts used Divine Sense, so he couldn't see their expressions.

But even if he wanted to, he could guess.

He used a special Divine Sense power wave to transmit his voice to the sea of consciousness of these experts:

"Ladies and gentlemen, our Yuanling Sect will adhere to the previous agreement with Wang Ye."

"The Lord's homeland also originates from Earth Star."

"Protecting Earth Star is both an agreement with Wang Ye and a way of safeguarding the Lord's homeland."

Yuan Mou, saying this, suddenly let out a cold snort, causing all the pinnacle Harmonized Realm experts who heard it to tremble inwardly:

"I know, many of you think, so what if you invade Earth Star? You have your own ways!"

"Previously, we wouldn't have said anything, but now, having spoken, invading Earth Star is to become enemies with the Ice Sect, the Sorcerer's Guild, and our Yuanling Sect!"

"How you choose to act is up to you!"

Yuan Mou's simple words were filled with an imposing aura.

You can invade Earth Star.

But if you do—

We will be your enemies.

There's nothing more to say.

We'll just see whether you invade Earth Star first, or if I take care of you first!

The experts to whom Yuan Mou transmitted his voice fell into silence.

Invade Earth Star?

What a joke!

At this point, why would you invade a hammer!

The remaining nine great sects, when combined with other sects, would undoubtedly defeat the alliance of the Yuanling Sect, Wang Ye, and the Sorcerer's Guild.

But the crucial point is—

It's not worth it.

Even if there are some resources on Earth Star, if things really come to a fight, it's not worth it.

On the contrary, given the current discord between the Demon Race and the Human Race, if the Human Race falls into internal strife, before the outcome is determined, the Demon Race might directly invade the Human Race, taking advantage of the situation.

Then what are they playing at?

Immediately, the sect master of the Great Blade Sect transmitted to other pinnacle experts as well as Yuan Mou and Wang Ye, declaring, "Our Great Blade Sect respects the Lord, and will not invade the Lord's homeland, Earth Star."

The Sword Sect master also promptly proclaimed:

"Our Sword Sect is always grateful for the Lord's contribution to Spirit Star; this time, as Earth Star faces difficulties, our Sword Sect will patrol any cracks appearing near the Sword Sect. If anyone attempts to enter Earth Star through the firmament cracks, our Sword Sect will be the first to disagree!"

With the Diamond Sect, Great Blade Sect, and Sword Sect leading, the other sects no longer hesitated; instead, they directly announced that they would not invade Earth Star, but would instead guard the firmament cracks in their areas.

...

Yuanling Sect.

Star Pavilion.

Wang Ye, Yuan Mou, and Yuan Lue sat together in the Star Pavilion, in a state quite different from before.

Yuan Mou wore a smile, and Yuan Lue looked at Wang Ye with eyes that had transformed from initial unfamiliarity to admiration and appreciation.

Wang Ye also appeared much more relaxed.

Yuan Mou spoke to Wang Ye:

"Young man, are you satisfied this time? The other nine great sects have already released statements, canceling their plans to go to Earth Star for training, and they will also inspect the firmament cracks in their domains to prevent others from passing through these cracks into Earth Star."

With the nine great sects having made their announcements, the smaller sects naturally dared not invade Earth Star either.

"I'm satisfied. Many thanks to Sect Master Yuan, otherwise, I truly wouldn't know what to do alone against so many pinnacle Harmonized Realm experts."

Wang Ye spoke these words sincerely.

Honestly, upon seeing those firmament cracks, Wang Ye had already prepared for mutual destruction with these people.

His only concern was that, even if he died, he wouldn't be able to deal with these enemies, and they would still invade Earth Star.

But now—

Wang Ye had no such concerns anymore.

"Alright."

Yuan Mou patted Wang Ye's shoulder: "Although the Human Race will not go to Earth Star, there are still cracks leading to Earth Star from the Demon Race. Next, the Demon Race might directly invade Earth Star."

"Sect Master Yuan…"

When Wang Ye heard Yuan Mou's words, there was a sparkle of hope in his eyes.

Was Yuan Mou intending to help him?

For Wang Ye alone to confront the entire Demon Race would be quite difficult.

As Wang Ye looked at him expectantly, the words Yuan Mou wanted to say were stuck in his throat. Finally, Yuan Mou sighed and, somewhat powerless, spoke to Wang Ye:

"Wang Ye, regarding this matter, I'm afraid I cannot assist you."

Wang Ye's face froze for a moment.

But he didn't ask further; he just nodded slightly: "I understand, I will think of my own solution."

Everyone could sense Wang Ye's sudden emotional downturn.

Seeing this, Yuan Lue hurriedly explained to Wang Ye: "Wang Ye, it's not that our Yuanling Sect doesn't want to help, but we have other important matters that require our attention…"

Yuan Lue paused.

He glanced at Yuan Mou.

After all, this matter was a secret within the Yuanling Sect, and except for a few highly ranked Inner Sect Elders, not even the Outer Gate Elders and disciples of the Yuanling Sect knew about it.

Should they tell Wang Ye?

"No problem, Wang Ye is someone chosen by the Lord, and since the Lord intends to give him the phantoms of the great dao, perhaps there was already an intention for Wang Ye to help us resolve this issue; it doesn't matter if we tell him."

"???"

Wang Ye was utterly flabbergasted by Yuan Mou's words.

What was this?

How did it become solving the problem together?

Wasn't he just seeking their help?
