Comparison is the thief of anger

Sect Master Bai Wuxia of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect led the Sect's high-ranking members to retrieve treasures from the Secret Realm, and the process went incredibly smoothly!

They swore that in this life, exploring a Secret Realm had never been so smooth!

It was so smooth it was as if they had just taken a stroll in their own backyard.

And the harvest was equally delightful!

Inside were various divine arts, secret methods, Spirit Treasures, and great medicines, enough to increase the entire Sect's foundation by thirty percent!

What is the concept of thirty percent?

The Ten Thousand Swords Sect, since its establishment, has been a venerable Sect of ten thousand years.

It reached its current scale only through the efforts of countless generations.

A Sect like this had clearly reached a certain Bottleneck in its development.

Even a one percent increase was incredibly difficult.

It would require the efforts of countless people for thousands of years.

However, now, just one Secret Realm could boost the overall foundation by thirty percent.

Why are Secret Realms so highly sought after across the continent?

It is precisely because they are enough to make one instantly rich.

While the Ten Thousand Swords Sect was enjoying the joy of victory on their side,

on the other side!

Sect Master Ji Wuchang of the Four Seasons Sect, after arranging Sect affairs, once again rushed to the entrance of the Wind Secret Realm.

This Secret Realm had been under study by the Elders and high-ranking members of the Four Seasons Sect for some time!

However, to this day, they still had no clue.

But with Ji Wuchang's arrival, the Formation that had troubled everyone for so long was easily broken by Ji Wuchang in less than fifteen minutes!

This time, the Four Seasons Sect also had a bountiful harvest.

What followed was the widespread rumor within both Sects that Chicken One had casually bestowed two Secret Realm Treasure Troves!

This led to the dramatic rise in status of the Twelve Demon Generals and even the Scarecrow in the hearts of the people of both Sects!

Their transcendent characteristics were almost ingrained in the bones of the people of both Sects!

At the same time!

The Twelve Demon Generals and the Scarecrow were also enjoying the subservience of the people from both Sects!

They indulged in nightly feasts, enjoyed rare delicacies, experienced various services, and revelled in sensual pleasures, living a carefree life!

Three more days passed in a flash!

At this time, the Demon City had clearly entered a new round of situational changes.

Within the Demon City, there were many Secret Realms and numerous Opportunities.

But correspondingly, the population was also not small.

Where there are people, there are disputes; this statement holds true everywhere.

And those who fought over a single treasure were not few.

There were even cases where two Sects engaged in Sect wars to contend for the ownership of a Secret Realm.

For a time, bloodshed and slaughter became the main theme within the Demon City.

Regardless of the turmoil outside, the Four Seasons Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect remained as steady as old dogs, unmoved.

They now had only one task: to wholeheartedly please the Twelve Demon Generals and the Scarecrow.

Gaining a sense of presence in front of these lords was far more cost-effective than going out to seize Opportunities and obtain good fortune themselves!

And the Twelve Demon Generals were also quite generous.

Happy? Reward!

Drunk and satisfied? Reward!

Took a liking to a young lady? Reward!

...

All of them were Secret Realm Treasure Troves!

Each one contained considerable value!

For a time, the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and the Four Seasons Sect truly experienced both pain and joy!

For the first time in their lives, they understood what it felt like to dig for treasures until their hands cramped.

And in the city, there were quite a few people who were even more miserable than them.

The Myriad Star Sect!

This was a Sect with considerable renown in the Northern Region.

Its own power had clearly reached a Peak level.

It was an existence on the same Rank as the Four Seasons Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!

It was just that this Sect was rather unlucky!

Not long ago, the Myriad Star Sect discovered a large Secret Realm, and they originally thought this was an Opportunity for their Sect's rise.

Little did they expect that while the mantis stalked the cicada, the oriole was behind it.

After they broke through the Formation surrounding the Secret Realm, they were ambushed by more than a dozen forces!

In the end, the entire Sect fought to the death, even their Old Ancestor died in battle, and only a small portion of people managed to escape.

After this battle, the Myriad Star Sect's strength was greatly reduced, directly falling from a Peak force to a second-rate Sect.

If it were just this, they might be sad or sorrowful.

But besides sighing that they were simply not good enough, they wouldn't have any other thoughts.

However, there is no harm without comparison!

Because the Myriad Star Sect and the Four Seasons Sect were not far apart.

Therefore, many things concerning the Four Seasons Sect took place right under the nose of the Myriad Star Sect.

They noticed that the Four Seasons Sect had a large number of people going out every day.

Each time they returned, they were laden with goods.

Everyone's face was beaming with an inner joy.

Many Disciples even discussed: "Can't move it all, simply can't move it all!"

The people of the Myriad Star Sect originally thought the people of the Four Seasons Sect were bragging.

What Secret Realm?

Could there be an endless supply of treasures?

Isn't that ridiculous?

However, they soon realized they were wrong, and spectacularly so.

One time, the people of the Four Seasons Sect returned from an outing.

Their Storage Pouches were packed full.

They were so full that they couldn't fit everything, and everyone was still carrying some on their hands and shoulders.

This discovery made the people of the Myriad Star Sect feel completely unwell.

It turned out that they really weren't lying!

Their supplies were so exaggerated that their Storage Pouches couldn't hold them all!

It's said that comparing goods makes you want to throw them away.

Comparing people can make you die of Qi!

They thought about their own Sect, coming to the Demon City, not only suffering casualties but also losing their Old Ancestor!

What about the others?

Every day, like diligent little bees.

Happily transporting supplies.

It was as if they hadn't come to a dangerous Demon Race territory.

It was more like carrying sacks, eating hotpot, and singing songs while picking up money!

For a time, the people of the Myriad Star Sect felt unbalanced inside.

They were incredibly envious!

At the same time, they couldn't help but wonder, although there were many Secret Realms in the Demon City, their locations were extremely hidden!

Normally, if a Sect could discover one or two, it would already be a great blessing.

But this Four Seasons Sect, how did it seem like they found a Secret Realm every day?

This discovery made the people of the Myriad Star Sect completely lose their composure!

They were practically green with envy!

Of course, envy was one thing, but they didn't dare to cause trouble.

Although the original Myriad Star Sect and the Four Seasons Sect were both Peak forces, in terms of overall strength, they were slightly weaker than the Four Seasons Sect.

They didn't dare to challenge the Four Seasons Sect even at their Peak, let alone now when their Sect was basically in a severely weakened state!

...

While the Four Seasons Sect and the Ten Thousand Swords Sect were quietly amassing wealth,

the situation in the Demon City was constantly changing!

Some forces fell on the path of contending for treasures.

Some forces found Opportunities and greatly advanced in strength.

They achieved Ascension through battle, improving their own strength by devouring weaker forces, truly advancing with great momentum.

In this conflict, almost everyone was pushing deeper into the Demon City!

After all, this time, everyone's goal was to find the True Demon Inheritance.

Compared to a supreme treasure like the True Demon Inheritance, other Secret Realms and other Opportunities were secondary.

Of course, the speed of advancement varied.

And because the terrain within the Demon City was complex, the Five Elements were inverted, and dangers were everywhere.

It was difficult to discern directions easily!

As of now, on the path to contending for the True Demon Inheritance, Bai Ling still stood out as the sole leader!
