In recent years, all major forces have organized teams to explore new territories. Due to the various dangers present in the Void Sea, everyone has become accustomed to mutual assistance when encountering difficulties, forming teams to cooperate, and joining forces in raids. Wang Shouzhe’s concept of "shared development and shared prosperity" has become deeply ingrained.

Usually, Wang Longyan would do the same. If it weren’t for the involvement of the Sacred Image this time, she wouldn’t have had any doubts.

Of course, no matter how teams are formed, those like Wang Liyao’s team, who are the first to discover the ruins, naturally have certain priority rights in the spoils.

"Alright." Wang Longyan nodded slightly, "Shouzhe’s concept is correct. The Wang family doesn’t take all for themselves and certainly won’t undertake the responsibility of saving the world alone. Divine Martial World belongs to everyone; it needs everyone to grow and protect it together."

Actually, she always suspected that the phrase "never take on the responsibility of saving the world alone" was Shouzhe’s main point.

Upon hearing Wang Longyan’s words, the two men and women behind her immediately showed expressions of joy.

"Miss Liyao indeed has the demeanor of Master Shouzhe. Now, even our Real Demon Palace can have a share." The black-clothed elder complimented Wang Liyao with a smile, his eyes showing a bit of flattery.

This black-clothed elder was named Ji Chongxuan, formerly a renowned top-tier Advanced Transcendent Void Realm expert known as the "Sky Evil Demon Lord" in the Real Demon Palace. He was the type of person with both strength and courage, once trying to vie for the Demon Lord position for his disciple.

He himself was also exceptionally talented, with outstanding qualities. Had he not missed the best inheritance period, Sky Evil Demon Lord would certainly not be inferior to the so-called "Little Demon Sovereign."

After Wang Longyan took charge of the Real Demon Palace, Sky Evil Demon Lord wholeheartedly attached himself to her.

Consequently, Wang Longyan sought to enhance the overall strength of the Real Demon Palace by nurturing Sky Evil Demon Lord, who was already at Level Eight of the Transcendent Void Realm and still had potential. She spared no expense, using the palace’s assets to procure a Sacred Pill, exchanged with Shouzhe for the Immortal Essence version, and consumed a Demonic God Crystal Core, thus raising Sky Evil Demon Lord’s bloodline to Son of Heaven Grade B level.

After consuming the Demonic God Crystal Core, Sky Evil Demon Lord successfully comprehended the Grand Demonic God Path and cultivated into a True Demon of the Human race!

Moreover, his development potential is sufficient to support his cultivation to the mid-late stage of the True Devil Realm.

Consequently, Sky Evil Demon Lord is now considered Wang Longyan’s "top follower," also taking on a lot of trivial work for the Real Demon Palace.

Beside Sky Evil Demon Lord Ji Chongxuan stood a black-clothed woman who also smiled and flattered: "Miss Liyao is destined to become a Taoist Master in the future. Her pattern is naturally incomparable to us small people."

This woman was a transformation of the Real Demon Palace’s Netherworld Soul Tree, known as "Nether Demon Monarch."

However, to flatter Wang Longyan, she gave herself a new human name called "Wang Youyou."

With the continuous development over the years, the strength of the Real Demon Palace has also grown daily, and many outstanding young people have been cultivated. Given time, they will have vast potential for growth in the future.

Just then.

A hearty laugh suddenly echoed outside the council hall: "Hall Master Longyan has arrived faster than this old man～～"

As he spoke, Immortal Monarch Ling Xuan, the master of the Immortal Palace, stepped into the room.

Following him was an old Immortal Monarch with white hair and beard, exuding an extraordinary aura. This person was once True Monarch Shuang Ran of Ji Ice Holy Land and was once one of the supporting pillars of the Immortal Palace.

Now his situation is similar to Ji Chongxuan’s, also a True Immortal Realm cultivator promoted at great expense by the Immortal Palace, possessing mid-late stage potential in the True Immortal Realm.

There’s no choice; the True Immortal level combat power of each force is too scarce, and the younger generation grows too slowly.

Existences like Wang Longyan, Wang Shouzhe, and Liu Ruolan, with their extraordinary talents, are ultimately few; the majority of young people cultivated by the forces will require long periods of accumulation to ascend to the True Immortal Realm.

Thus, the forces can only try to find Advanced Transcendent Void Realm cultivators with inherently high talents, nurture them, and let them ascend to True Immortal first.

After all, now is the era of great development for the Shenwu Sacred Alliance. Having True Immortal first allows one to be ahead in the exploration process of the Void Sea, leading to greater future benefits.

Unfortunately, such Advanced Transcendent Void Realm cultivators are not easy to find.

Take Sky Evil Demon Lord; his innate abilities were of World’s Best Grade A, allowing him to cultivate to Level Eight of the Void Realm just after three thousand years old and have a chance to proceed further. As for Frost Ardent Immortal Monarch, his potential was relatively inferior so he appears older than Sky Evil Demon Lord.

Even within influential forces like the Immortal Palace, Yun family, Real Demon Palace, Shentu Clan, there are scarcely one or two contemporaries who have comparable achievements. Even fewer have considerably more lifespan to potentially cultivate to the True Immortal Realm before their lifespan runs out.

As such, over the past centuries, the Divine Martial World has only added a few True Immortal Realm cultivators altogether. The rest must rely on the efforts of young people.

At this moment, two handsome young men followed behind the two Immortal Monarchs.

One was Situ Yuquan, the successor of Immortal Monarch Ling Xuan, and the other was Zhang Huaibing, the disciple of Frost Ardent Immortal Monarch. Both are next-generation leaders actively groomed by the Immortal Palace.

With the arrival of the Immortal Palace, not long after, Empress Princess Su Yun also arrived with her team.

Among them were also two Immortal Monarchs. One was Stellar Radiance True Monarch, the former Commander-in-chief of Base Three. He himself was a figure of the late advanced Transcendent Void Realm, renowned for his battle achievements, now a True Immortal.
