Sword Flash believed what he was saying about the Red and Blue Fire sect because the future prospect of the Blood Skull sect had increased simply from looting the Red and Blue Fire sect.
Take their secret realm, for example. Now that they've upgraded it to rank 5, when the mana tide comes, and it is time to upgrade the secret realm, the force that should upgrade the secret realm would just move on to the rank 3 secret realms attached to their secret realm.
The force in the mana tide that should upgrade their secret realm won't upgrade it anymore, since they've already spent a mana seed to upgrade it. But that force won't go to waste. It will just go and upgrade the five rank 3 secret realms further down the rank 5 secret realms.
This will cause the five rank 3 secret realms to upgrade. Maybe not all of them will be upgraded to rank 4, but at least one of them will be upgraded to rank 4.
