According to what he'd heard, the Penglai Immortal Sect and the Primordial Devil Sect had never gotten along. In fact, they'd been at odds for thousands of years. But there was something very odd in that statement. Penglai was powerful, yes, but it was ultimately just an upper sect. How could it stand against a Holy Land? Its inheritance over thousands of years could not be explained by simply saying it retreated to the outer sea. An Ascendant could destroy an upper sect with a casual strike, so was it just that the Primordial Devil Sect's Ascendants hadn't bothered to act? 0

Moreover, now that the Holy Land had been wiped out, the Penglai Immortal Sect had returned to the inner domains to contend for dominance of the Northern Sea. Yet at the center still stood the Blue Sea Alliance, led by an Ascendant. So what gave them such confidence?0
