Although the people from Silver Snake Valley and Mount Suru eventually managed to kill the Corpse Race mbers, they suffered imnse losses, and their heritages were damaged.
Before they could deal with the aftermath, Pang Huanyin had led a large group of cultivators to invade them.
There wasn’t much fighting as the two Hidden Realms soon surrendered.
It wasn’t until then that they discovered a large number of people from Jiu Zhou had arrived in the Peerless Continent and helped destroy the Corpse Race.
The cultivators from the two Hidden Realms were dumbfounded upon learning the news.
Pang Huanyin didn’t have the intention of taking in the two Hidden Realms. Purple Star Palace and the two Hidden Realms had different beliefs, so it would do the Palace more harm than good to do so. She just wanted to subdue them and make sure they would obey her orders.
Several days later, in the courtyard on the Spirit Peak where Lu Ye and the others had stayed in Purple Star Palace, Pang Huanyin stood there and looked at the large Divine Opportunity Column with her hands behind her back. She seed to be listening attentively, but what was strange was that she was the only one in that area.
A mont later, she nodded solemnly and said, “I understand, and I agree to that. Let’s start now.”
The mont she finished speaking, the Divine Opportunity Column suddenly radiated a gentle glow. Like a morning Sun, the glow spread across the entire Purple Star Palace and expanded towards other parts of the world.
Besides the one in Purple Star Palace, the remaining Divine Opportunity Columns in the other three Hidden Realms were also reacting in the sa way.
In just more than ten breaths of ti, the entire broken Peerless Continent was engulfed in a layer of gentle light.
No one knew what was going on. While everyone was shocked and doubtful, the world suddenly buzzed.
They watched in shock as the turbid Sun in the sky was rapidly leaving the world.
At that mont, with the help of the soft light, a firm voice was heard reverberating across the entire Peerless Continent. “I’m Pang Huanyin, the Palace Master of Purple Star Palace…”
…
After Jiu Zhou cultivators passed through the door, they didn’t all return to the sa place. Instead, they randomly arrived at different Divine Trade Associations on the Cloud River Battlefield.
Therefore, not a single place was suddenly too crowded.
Lu Ye and the others were the last people to return to the Cloud River Battlefield.
When they returned to this familiar world, they let out a long breath.
The Peerless Continent was broken and desolate. Staying in such an environnt, one would easily feel depressed. Other than the four Hidden Realms, the rest of the world didn’t have much World Spiritual Qi. In comparison, the environnt on the Cloud River Battlefield was undoubtedly more pleasant.
Lu Ye had mixed feelings after he ca back from the Peerless Continent.
Although they were all Humans, so were born in an environnt that was suitable for cultivation while so struggled to survive every day.
It was mainly thanks to the Heavens that Jiu Zhou was such a fantastic place for cultivators.
When they were in the Spirit Creek Realm, they had a safe place such as the Spirit Creek Battlefield where they could get so training. Although they might co across cultivators they couldn’t defeat, both parties were in the sa Realm at the very least. The pressure and the not-so-distant goals could make them work harder.
Similarly, there was the Cloud River Battlefield when they were in the Cloud River Realm.
It could be said that the existence of the two Battlefields could help produce countless grassroots cultivators in Jiu Zhou.
They didn’t even need to worry about artifacts and pills. As long as they had enough Contribution points, they could buy anything from the Vault of Providence.
The artifacts that the cultivators here used were rare and exquisite in the Peerless Continent, and the pills they consud were unimaginable in that world.
Lu Ye recalled the ti when he and Ying Wuji ca across Yu Zhen, who was struck with Source Corpse Poison. When he fished out an ordinary Antidote Pill, Yu Zhen refused to consu the pill even though he was at risk of losing his life. That was because, to them, such pills were hard to co by.
Fortunately, all their hard work during the trip paid off eventually. The nine of them went through a lot of hardship and managed to install four Divine Opportunity Columns, which led to the arrival of Jiu Zhou cultivators and the demise of the Corpse Race.
Lu Ye had no idea what would happen to the Peerless Continent in the future or whether it would beco a Hidden Realm in Jiu Zhou, but that was okay.
Without the Corpse Race, things would only get better in the Peerless Continent.
“Little Junior Brother, do we spend the night here? Or do we set off imdiately?” Li Baxian asked for Lu Ye’s opinion. “I’ve taken a look at the 10-point map. This place is on the periphery of Grand Wilds Peak, so it’s not far away from Aliorate Arcane Glade. If we set off now, it’ll only take us one day to arrive at our destination.”
“You’ll call the shots, Senior Brother.” Lu Ye was fine with anything.
Li Baxian said, “Let’s set off now, then. We’ve gained a lot of benefits this ti, so we’d better turn them into our powers as quickly as we can. You’re supposed to ascend to the Real Lake Realm as well, Little Junior Brother.”
Lu Ye dipped his head. That was indeed his plan. He had told Pang Huanyin about it before his departure.
After his ascension to the Real Lake Realm, he could no longer stay on the comfortable Cloud River Battlefield, and he might face much greater danger, but it wasn’t like he wanted to get stuck in the sa Realm forever.
To cultivators, so pressure and danger were beneficial.
“I’m not going to tag along,” Hua Ci said with a smile. “I have to go sowhere else.”
Before the trip to the Peerless Continent, she was ready to cultivate her power in Five Poisons Pond, and Lu Ye was responsible for sending her there. However, they received an instruction from the Heavens on their way there, so they left Five Poisons Pond at different tis.
This ti, the biggest reward for Lu Ye was battle points. For Hua Ci, it was the broken palm left behind by the Golden Corpse King.
With the broken palm in possession, coupled with the unique cultivation environnt of Five Poisons Pond, Hua Ci believed she could increase her power quickly.
Everyone cultivated their power differently. Since Hua Ci wanted to go to Five Poisons Pond, Lu Ye wouldn’t stop her.
“I’ll send you there,” he said.
“There’s no need for that. I can go there on my own.”
Previously, she wanted Lu Ye to escort her because they wouldn’t et again for a long ti after they parted ways. Therefore, she just wanted the man to be by her side for a longer ti.
Considering her power, she wouldn’t need anyone to escort her.
When she and Lan Zi Yi were trapped in Mount Suru, she was still calm and collected.
If anyone on the Cloud River Battlefield dared have so ill intentions against her, he would die horribly. He might not even know what had happened.
Hua Ci was a resolute person. Since she had made a decision, she took the initiative to leave first. Only after she was gone did Lu Ye and the others set off on their journey.
A day later, they could see Aliorate Arcane Glade in the distance.
The Grand Ward protecting this place was still intact. Many burly Wolf Mutants were seen moving around.
Aliorate Arcane Glade was famous on the Cloud River Battlefield. That was because this was Lu Ye’s Arcane Glade. It still stood tall after several invasion attempts by the cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge.
Even on the 10-point map, there was a new mark on Aliorate Arcane Glade. It was a wonder what the people from the Divine Trade Association were up to. The marks of other Arcane Glades on the 10-point map were simple, but it was red for Aliorate Arcane Glade.
It gave off the feeling that Aliorate Arcane Glade was a dangerous place filled with murderous intent.
This kind of colour was usually used for the forbidden areas and the territories of Champion-class Spirit Beasts.
When the cultivators arrived at the Cloud River Battlefield for the first ti and bought the 10-point maps from the Divine Trade Association, they would be puzzled upon seeing the mark of Aliorate Arcane Glade. They might think it was a forbidden area.
The four of them landed on the ground and entered the Arcane Glade.
Lu Ye headed straight to the Spirit Spout and fished out a box from his Storage Sphere.
A curious Li Baxian ca up to him. When he saw what was inside the box, he was surprised. “Wisp of Sanctification?”
Instantly, he realised where it ca from. “Is it the Wisp of Sanctification from Sacred Universe Arcane Glade?”
A while back, everyone was shocked to learn that Sacred Universe Arcane Glade had been destroyed. There were precedents of Arcane Glades getting ruined on the Cloud River Battlefield, but the destruction of such a large Arcane Glade was rare.
Cult Blackfyre and Universe Clan had been managing the Arcane Glade for hundreds of years, which was why it grew to be such a colossus. To these two Sects, the Arcane Glade on the Cloud River Battlefield was one of their foundations.
The two Sects had benefited from shortening the ti needed for their Cloud River Realm Masters to grow their powers in the past hundreds of years.
However, after it was targeted by Lu Ye, it was soon destroyed. Even the Wisp of Sanctification was snatched away. Although the two Sects were not fundantally damaged, they suffered imnse losses.
So cultivators survived the calamity in Sacred Universe Arcane Glade that day, so the story of Lu Ye wreaking havoc on the Arcane Glade on his own was spread.
Therefore, Li Baxian imdiately figured out where the white, plump Wisp of Sanctification ca from.
“Yes, it’s from Sacred Universe Arcane Glade,” Lu Ye replied. Li Baxian watched as Lu Ye placed the Wisp of Sanctification into the Spirit Spout.
“How much do you think the Arcane Glade will expand in scale, Senior Brother?”
Aliorate Arcane Glade was already Primus-level. Even if a Wisp of Sanctification was added, the quality wouldn’t improve. That was because Primus was the maximum level.
That said, the Arcane Glade could be expanded in scale.
Aliorate Arcane Glade was a small one that could only allow several people to cultivate at the sa ti. If there were more people, it would be less effective. As such, if the Arcane Glade was enlarged, it could accommodate more cultivators.
“Sacred Universe Arcane Glade can be considered a large one that can accommodate over 200 people to live and cultivate. Since the Wisp of Sanctification has been taken away, the quality must’ve decreased. Despite that, when it’s installed here, I believe our Arcane Glade will also grow to be a large one. It’ll probably be able to accommodate around 100 people.”
“That’ll be enough.” Lu Ye nodded.
The reason he even built an Arcane Glade here was to let the Junior Brothers and Sisters of Crimson Blood Sect have a place where they could cultivate in the future.
They had taken on many disciples in recent years. Lu Ye even heard that the Sect Master still relentlessly lured many brilliant cultivators from other Sects to his own. Therefore, many people had bitter feelings about him. Tang Yi Feng, the Sect Master, was now the most unwelco Divine Ocean Realm Master among the Sects in Bing Zhou.
It took ti for cultivators to grow their powers.
So far, in the Crimson Blood Sect, Lu Ye, Ju Jia, and Hua Ci were the only Cloud River Realm Masters.
