But if only junior elders, golden core elders, and the nascent soul patriarchs will be the ones to participate in the war, that means more than 70% of the population of th sect will not participate in the war.
Not only that, but the message also said that participation was not a must. So not even the rest of 30% have to participate.
Fortunately, most of the people who received the message wanted to participate. So there was still a significant number of turnout for the war.
About 70% of the people in the inner sect chose to participate. Arthur also chose to participate, and he chose to help set up the array formations for attacking and defending.
He still had a long way to go in the fourth mortal coil, as he had only just reached the third mortal coil. This is why he chose to work with setting up array formations instead of fighting on the frontline.
With his decision made, he rose from his seat and checked his status with the Mountain Sitting Dao.

This is what he has achieved after twenty-two years of cultivation. His cultivation has increased from the first transformation of the fourth mortal coil to the third transformation, and he has successfully learned the two sigil techniques.
The increase in his cultivation allowed his body, mind, and internal energy to improve in quality from 20 to 30 at the second transformation and then to 40 at the third transformation.
This, in turn, allowed his power to shoot from 4.096 C to 19,660,800 (19.6608 C). This is exactly a 4.8 times fold in power. Compared to the time he was in the first mortal coil with a maximum power of 10 F, he has come a long way.
In comparison, the power of someone at the golden core with a perfect core like his should range from (20 body × 20 life force × 1,024 golden core power), which is 409,600 units, to (110 body × 110 life force × 1,024 golden core), which is 12,390,400 units.
The fact that he has a power output of 19,660,800 units means that he is already stronger than the vast majority of golden core cultivators. Only the senior brothers and sisters in the sect at the peak of the golden core, with the power of armaments, can be stronger than him.
Golden core cultivators with a poor background and a core formed with a rank 7 foundation and 128 life seeds will be much weaker than him. These kinds of golden core cultivators would only be able to reach the seventh transformation of the fourth mortal coil, so their maximum power will be (80 body × 80 life force × 128 golden core power), which is 819,200.
These weak golden core cultivators are usually the type that loose cultivators and cultivation families can produce. Sects like the Red and Blue Fire sect will have much stronger golden core cultivators.
But no matter what kind of golden core cultivators the Red and Blue Fire sect has, as long as they don't have armaments that double their power, they won't be able to match him, even if they are at the peak of the golden core realm.
He can achieve this while at the third mortal coil of the golden core realm because of the power of his armament and the enhancement of the Mountain Karma divine ability.
The enhancement of the Mountain Karma divine ability takes the bulk of the credit for his unreasonable power. Thanks to the fact that it improved from level 5 to level 6, the enhancement it could produce also increased, which made his power become even more unreasonable.
The increase in the level of the Mountain Karma divine ability was a result of his efforts in holding a lottery in the sect and expanding the Red Dojo. Even the Mountain Foundation divine ability also increased in level.
The Mountain Foundation divine ability increased from level 4 to level 5. This increased the number of virtual copies in his mind from 4 to 5. This, in turn, shortened the amount of time he needed to learn the sigil techniques from 8 years to 6 years.
Once he learned the two vessel sigil techniques, they each took a talent from his foundation, which they used to anchor themselves to his core. Apparently, without those talents, he wouldn't be able to use the two sigil techniques even if he learned them.
