The Sacred Palace needed to seize more territory and resources in order to gain more authority. This would inevitably lead to conflict with the other quasi saint sects.
Xiao Sheng did not use the word 'war' here, but 'conflict'.
That's right, the Sacred Palace did not want to start a war with the other quasi saint sects right now, which was why Xiao Sheng used the word 'conflict'.
To put it bluntly, a conflict was a battle within a controllable range. Once it escalated to the level of a war, things would obviously become uncontrollable. Whether it was the Sacred Palace or the other six quasi-saint sects, none of them would want a war to break out.
To seize resources, they naturally had to have a plan. Moreover, the Sacred Palace's strength was clearly not enough to contend against all six quasi saint sects at the same time. Therefore, the Sacred Palace needed to rope in some of them and attack some of them.
According to Xiao Sheng and the other four patriarchs' plan, the Sacred Palace would take the initiative to seize back some of the territory and resources that originally belonged to the Human Race. Their first target would be the Night Ghost Pavilion.
This was because the Night Ghost Pavilion occupied the most territory of the Human Race and had seized the most resources. If they could take these things back from the Night Ghost Pavilion, it would definitely be an indescribable benefit for the Sacred Palace.
Their main target was the Night Ghost Pavilion. No one else in the room objected to this, and this was quickly confirmed.
After deciding on their target, the next step was to appease the other quasi saint sects. According to Xiao Sheng and the other four patriarchs, they could try to rope in the Supreme Saint Sect, Liwang Sect, and Nine Heavens.
First of all, the Supreme Saint Sect and the Sacred Palace were relatively familiar with each other. Moreover, the two sides had cooperated in the Sky Expanse Sect's secret domain. Although this cooperation was fake and everyone knew this, it was indeed an opportunity. Therefore, the Supreme Saint Sect could try to rope them in.
As for the Liwang Sect and Nine Heavens, they did not have much of the Human Race's territory and resources in their hands. Therefore, the Sacred Palace's actions would not have much of an impact on them.
This was perhaps one of the reasons why Tong Huang had given up on the supreme grade spirit vein on the Hundred Mo Continent so easily. After all, the Liwang Sect did not rely on it for a living. In the hands of the Liwang Sect, the Human Race's territory and resources were nothing. They only occupied an extremely small portion, so it would not be a big deal even if they returned all of it to the Human Race.
The three great sects could be roped in, and if they succeeded, the four sects could form a temporary alliance. At that time, the Sacred Palace would not have to face the Night Ghost Pavilion, Sky Demon, and Thousand Beast Valley....
Of course, the Sacred Palace did not have full confidence in allying with the three great sects. Take Nine Heavens for example, Xiao Sheng and the other four patriarchs felt that the chances were slim. This was because the Divine Race rarely allied with other races. They were simply too arrogant.
Even so, even if they only managed to rope in the Supreme Saint Sect and Liwang Sect, it would be considered a success for the Sacred Palace.
The four patriarchs had already formulated a detailed plan in their hearts. After listening to Xiao Sheng's words, everyone exchanged glances. The Qing Emperor was the first to speak.
"Patriarch, this way, the situation in the North Star Boundary will most likely change greatly. The seven great sects are likely to be divided into two different camps. When that time comes …"
The Azure Thearch didn't finish his words, but everyone present understood what he meant. Once the Sacred Palace did this, it would probably be difficult for the North Star Realm to remain calm. The relationship between the seven Quasi-saint sects would also become increasingly tense, and a war would break out at any moment.
Just think about it. If the Sacred Palace, Supreme Divinity Sect, Power King Sect, and Nine Heavens had formed an alliance, regardless of whether it was true or not, once news of this spread, the Night Ghost Pavilion, Sky Demon Sect, and Myriad Beasts Valley would definitely join forces as well. At that time, the situation would be difficult to predict.
The Qing Emperor was a little worried, but soon after, Chen Yu said lazily, "I'm afraid the situation in the North Star Boundary has already changed since the establishment of the Sacred Palace. Even if we don't do this, there will be a war between the seven great sects sooner or later."
The other Chosens all nodded in agreement with Chen Yu's lazy expression.
The rise of the Sacred Palace had indeed unknowingly changed the situation in the North Star Boundary. The most fundamental reason why the seven great sects were able to restrain each other in the past few years was because the rise of the Sacred Palace had yet to touch the interests of the other sects.
But it was different now. Since the Sacred Palace had appeared, they would have to fight for their own interests. As a result, there was no doubt that disputes would break out.
The war with the other great sects would definitely come. It was just a matter of whether it would come sooner or later.
If they gave up their own interests because they were afraid of fighting with the other great sects, then there would be no need to establish the Sacred Palace.
The ten great Chosen and Chosen nodded in agreement with Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs' plan. Soon after, the Holy Sovereigns also nodded in agreement.
Seeing that everyone nodded, the Burning Lamp Patriarch, who had been silent all this time, said in a deep voice, "Since everyone agrees, then it's decided. The Night Ghost Pavilion is our target. In addition, send people to the Supreme Divine Sect, Liwang Sect, and Nine Heavens. Think of a way to befriend and rope them in."
The Burning Lamp Patriarch's words represented that the Sacred Palace had truly taken the most crucial step to establish a foothold in the North Star Boundary. It was also the first step. However, this step was filled with endless danger because it was bound to be retaliated by the other quasi-sage sects.
His voice echoed in the hall. Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
However, after the final decision was made, Xiao Chen, who had been silent all this time, looked indifferently at Xiao Sheng and the other patriarchs.
"Patriarch, since this has been decided, we should also show some more strength. I'm afraid that just two quasi-saint supreme venerables aren't enough to make the Supreme Divine Sect, Liwang Sect, and Nine Heavens Pavilion think highly of us."
Since they wanted to compete with the other great sects for interests, the strength that the Sacred Palace had shown now was probably not enough.
One had to know that to the outside world, the Sacred Palace only had two quasi-saint supreme venerables. They were Xiao Sheng and Mengjie. Moreover, their cultivation was only at the initial quasi-saint level.
Such strength was indeed very difficult to make the Supreme Divine Sect, Liwang Sect, and Nine Heavens think highly of them. After all, two initial quasi-saint supreme venerables were nothing in their eyes. Therefore, it was very difficult for them to make up their minds to form an alliance with the Sacred Palace.
After all, the Sacred Palace was too weak, so there was naturally no need to form an alliance.
Therefore, since the decision had been made, it was time to show a little more of the Sacred Palace's strength to the outside world to increase the Sacred Palace's status in the hearts of the world.
