Chapter 229: [Bonus Chapter]Great Shark Attack
The Jade Empress went on to tell them that the branches of each of the four major sects also owned other small sects and most of the influence and power of the Lower Plains was in the hands of those four sects, however, the balance was being shaken by the rise of the Blood Moon Demonic Sect.
This was shocking to hear and the four major sects sounded incredible and had all kinds of unique capabilities, skills, methods and treasures to fight the Blood Moon Demonic Sect with, yet they were still afraid.
"Well, I will be doing them a favour by getting rid of all the Blood Moon Demonic Sect elders and disciples for them, before they get the chance to resurrect their master. And even if they do resurrect their master, it will take them at least a few more years, and in that time, I will be powerful enough to crush them" stated Lex with great confidence.
From the descriptions of the master of the Blood Moon Demonic Sect, it was clear that he was an incredibly powerful individual nad considering how many millions of people were being killed on each continent just to feed his resurrection, when he awakens, he will hold unbelievable power.
However, Lex had the Eye System and all the capabilities and abilities that he gained through it, making it so that he didn't fear anyone or anything and he also didn't see the Lower Plains as a plain worthy of his existence.
He felt that way because of the potential he knew he had and because of Ella and the Originator Eye Demon coming from a high plane of existence, that he was also going to reach and make his name known throughout.
"You are an amazing talent, boy, along with my disciple and the other girl, however, I have been away from the Jade Palace for so long. I can tell you one thing, while I was there, I reached the Mortal King Cultivation Level before the age of twenty, which was the requirement to become a Core Disciple of the four great sects. I believe that you are underestimated just how capable the young individuals in the four great sects are along with the elders, sect masters and the ancestors of each of the sects. They are likely to have progressed or are still on the same level that they were at when I was still alive and even with the inheritance I acquired, the abundance of knowledge that those sects have is unbelievable. The Blood Moon Demonic Sect is also just as incredible and if they are able to regain their previous power, they may even be able to take on all 4 of the major sects at once, so don't overestimate yourself" stated the Jade Empress.
"Your best bet is joining one of the four major sects and aiming to become a Core Disciple, which you may be able to achieve if you diligently cultivate for the next two years and aim to fulfil the requirements" she advised.
"I appreciate your advice, but do not underestimate us. We have come a long way without the dense energy, resources or opportunities that can be found in the centre of the Lower Plains, and once we do have access to them, we will be unstoppable. So just watch us from that little trinket you reside in and be amazed by what we are able to achieve" replied Lex.
Joining a sect was beneath him and he stood nothing to gain from a sect as the Eye System could provide him with everything he could ever need and more, along with exploring and battling other cultivators being much more beneficial for his cultivation.
"Do as you wish, but make sure to protect my disciple and don't get yourself killed. I have told you what I know, so there is nothing else for me to do"
The Jade Empress was impressed by Lex, but also worried that his confidence and adventurous nature, might get him into trouble in the centre of the Lower Plains.
However, the look in Lex's eyes still weirdly gave her confidence and Ella sat there with a smile on her face, also wanting to see what the Lower Plains had to offer and how everything would turn out.
Just as Lex and Ella began chatting, flirting and relaxing, they both suddenly sensed danger.
Lex was sure that his Dominant Eye was scaring any beasts below the Golden Mortal Rank away and even Golden Mortal Rank Seas Beasts would be intimidated and wary of the aura and power that was emanating from Lex's body.
It was moving so quickly and came from so deep underwater, that Lex was unable to sense it until it was too late and neared the beast they were riding.
"Jump off the beast" shouted Lex as the Giant Shark Beast burst upwards at ripped the giant whale-like beast they were riding into shreds.
The beast was clearly a Golden Mortal Rank Sea Beast and it was the first beast of that cultivation level that Lex had come across.
Angela reacted quickly after the Jade Empress and Lex alerted her of the sea beast's attack and Lex and Ella hovered in the air above where the beast they were riding was ripped apart, while Angels stood on the water nearby.
The water behind her would turn straight into ice and it was a perfect environment for her where she could use all the water to unleash great ice attacks and not need to use the scarce moisture in the air and within her body.
Lex and Ella were confident in their capabilities to take down the Great Shark even after its powerful and sudden attack, and what impressed the Jade Empress, was that Lex and Ella were able to sense the attack before her.
"Angela, I'll leave this beast to you. Show me what you got" said Lex, wanting to see what she was capable of and also allow her to test herself.
