Chapter 599: Decision Making (1/2)
”Sky Shifting Sect?”
The only Sect Krune had ever been part of was the Divine Path Sect. He didn't join any other during his time in Dalin Universe.
Iem then explained his choice.
”They are known for being quite an all-round Sect. There are no specializations that they focus on, or you could say that they focus on everything. This kind of Sect would be perfect for us since no one would pay much attention to our abilities. If anything, they will think that it's just normal that weird guys wanted to join them.”
”They are definitely one of the strong forces of the Zamaria Planet, but at the same time, they don't appear between the top ones. This status of being in the middle is also the best we could ask. They have the authority to buy what we need but don't appear too much to have questions asked. Besides, there is one more reason why I selected them, check their information on the network.”
Krune nodded and opened his communicator. He then searched for information about this Sky Shifting Sect.
This Sect seems to have been founded around 20 thousand years ago. At that time, they only had a Godly Fusion Realm Sect Master as their strongest member. They had also selected a region where other sects wouldn't mind their presence. From what Krune could see, they were the cautious type that doesn't like to appear too much.
Little by little, they consolidated their forces as their top members cultivated slowly to their actual strength. At the moment, the Sect has two God Core Realm members, one cultivator, and one demon beast. The cultivator was the same person who founded the Sect, a woman called Franlia Katuas. The demon beast was a female one who joined the Sect around a thousand years after its foundation, Tosely. From the looks of it, those two girls were quite close to each other.
In the next years, their Sky Shifting Sect went through a few conflicts, but it palled compared with other powers. It could be said that they were quite a calm sect. However, Krune found out that another two forces close by, the Three Peaks Sect and the Flower River Sect. From the looks of it, these three sects didn't have much interaction with each other before, always keeping to themselves. However, as their territory expanded, they eventually reached the same place.
If it was just a piece of land, the three sides could have done a few negotiations. Eventually, one of them would take it while paying something to the others. The three powers are similar in strength, so it wouldn't do any good to go to war because of a small territory.
However, they eventually found an enormous chain of Top Quality Godly Energy Veins hidden beneath a mountain range. If a proper formation was set up there, it would become one cultivation paradise for any of the three. That wasn't all. Because of how long these Godly Energy Veins had been hidden, the area around them became a gigantic Godly Stone Mine. The number of Godly Stones that could be mined was probably over billions! Due to the quality of the Godly Energy Veins, the Godly Stones at the center of the Chain also reached High and even Top Quality levels.
Without a doubt, that mountain range would be the perfect place to move their sects headquarters. The Godly Stones would provide enough income to keep any of their sects running for the next thousands of years too. Obviously, neither of the three forces would give up such a fat piece of meat. As one can expect, battles began to happen frequently in that place. No one knows what will be the end result of this three-sided conflict.
Iem saw Krune's expression changing and knew that he got all the information about the Sky Shifting Sect situation.
”Do you understand now why I selected this one?”
Krune nodded.
”The Sky Shifting Sect doesn't focus on any particular field, which is good for us. Thanks to that, we wouldn't attract much attention. However, they won't merely let us use their name to acquire the resources we need. We will need to do something for the Sect, and this three-sided war is the best opportunity to gain merits. Not to mention that it would be the best environment where we could acquire combat experience.”
”But above all, the fact that they are in a war would be the best concealment for us. The Sky Shifting Sect needs strength! They won't bother about who joins them as much as they would before, nor will they try to investigate any abnormal strong new members. They only have one focus at the moment, acquire the Chain of Godly Energy Veins. Anything else can wait until the war is over. From the looks of it, this war will probably last several decades before a conclusion is reached. By that time, it is hard to say if we would still be there or not.”
Iem nodded.
”Exactly! All three forces have tens of thousands of members, but they can't possibly use it all in this war. After all, they aren't the only ones who know about these Godly Energy Veins. If they use too much of their forces, someone stronger might jump in and take all three of them down. Thanks to that, they reached this balance where the war can't be stopped, but can't go all out either. For us, the longer this war lasts, the better. It will give us an unlimited stream of Sect Merits, which we can use to buy everything we need.”
”Of course, it will also be dangerous. Still, you should know very well that life and death experiences are part of the cultivation path. We can't ignore such things.”
Krune nodded.
”Very well. But how about our time management? I have my restaurant to run, after all.”
