The doppelganger Li Taibai returned silently, and Lu Ye condensed a new one again. Inside the Erald Bamboo Peak Bamboo Pagoda, both his true self and doppelganger were tirelessly crafting the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc.
He didn't know how long he could stay in the Nine Provinces, but he imagined the ti wouldn't be long. Before departing for the Blood Refinent World, he needed to contribute his strength as much as possible.
As he was busy here, so news, pushed by certain individuals, quickly spread within the Nine Provinces.
A certain domain called the Blood Refinent World was approaching the Nine Provinces World. In that Blood Refinent World, there is a race called the Blood Race, who are wicked and savage, treating the human race as Blood Food. They strengthen themselves by consuming human blood, especially the blood of cultivators, which to the Blood Race is the perfect supplent.
Nowadays, the Blood Refinent World had already detected the presence of the Nine Provinces World and was preparing to invade the Nine Provinces land, aiming to enslave the Nine Provinces human race.
The news imdiately caused an uproar when it was released.
Initially, uninford cultivators thought it was a rumor; the Blood Refinent World and the Blood Race were ultimately too fantastical to be real, and who would easily believe without firsthand experience?
Not to ntion those cultivators with low cultivation, Lu Ye at the celebration banquet would have struggled to convince the high-level cultivators if it wasn't for the help of Number Nine.
But as ti passed, various news flew everywhere, and respectable Level 9 cultivators stood out to affirm the authenticity of these ssages. Only then did the Nine Provinces cultivation world realize these incredible tales were not rumors but were really about to happen.
Indeed, there was a Blood Refinent World, and it was truly approaching the Nine Provinces. That domain housed many Blood Race mbers who fed on the human race, and a collision between the Nine Provinces cultivation world and the Blood Race was inevitable.
No panic, no fear. The Nine Provinces cultivation world, from the Divine Sea Realm to the Spirit Stream Realm, were all eagerly sharpening their blades!
Having just undergone a counterattack against the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm, the morale on this side of the cultivation world was high. Why fear another war?
It's important to note that in the counterattack against the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm, only those in the True Lake Realm and above could participate. The surviving cultivators gained richly, with countless battle rits, but those in the Spirit Stream Realm and Cloud River Realm weren't qualified to participate.
However, if it's a collision between cultivators from two domains, then it's an all-out war outbreak, allowing the Spirit Stream Realm and Cloud River Realm to participate.
For cultivators, anything that can earn battle rit is sothing they crave!
In a short period, the entire Nine Provinces cultivation world entered a state of battle preparation; cultivating where needed and retreating for closed-door training. Many cultivators flooded into various Heaven's Augury Halls or Heaven's Augury rcantile Unions to purchase necessary combat elixir pills, talismans, and spirit and magic artifacts, leading to a roughly ten percent rise in prices across the Nine Provinces.
This situation was unexpected for those high-level figures in the Nine Provinces who were aware of the inside details.
They intended to first spread the news about the Blood Refinent World and Blood Race, originally planning to mobilize battle preparations after the news fernted for a period.
Yet now it seems no mobilization is required; rely during the ssage spreading phase, the cultivators are already impatiently awaiting another war.
Everyone underestimated the combative nature of the Nine Provinces cultivators.
But upon reflection, it's not surprising. From the start of their cultivation at the Spirit Stream battlefield, Nine Provinces cultivators have endlessly participated in various forms of combat, battles that likely perate their entire lives, generation after generation passed down. Being combative might have already beco an intrinsic instinct in the Nine Provinces cultivators.
In the past, they could only fight against enemy faction cultivators. When the Insect disaster engulfed the Nine Provinces, everyone unified their focus to target the Insect Race.
But too many cultivators couldn't participate in the counterattack against the Insect Race's Great Secret Realm, feeling sowhat unsatisfied.
Now that the evil race Blood Race has erged, it presents them an opportunity to participate!
The entire Nine Provinces cultivation world has a high battle sentint.
Yet what needs to be publicized must still be publicized.
Gradually, more news ca out stating that many human races lived in the Blood Refinent World, all imprisoned and enslaved by the Blood Race, living like pigs and dogs.
This news, once spread, further stirred righteous indignation among the cultivators.
Though the two major camps of the Nine Provinces cultivation world are constantly in conflict, their stance on treating ordinary people is consistent; never allowing cultivators' battles to affect ordinary people, let alone oppressing or exploiting them.
Of course, there might be so dirt behind the scenes, but publicly, this is the attitude of cultivators from both camps.
The Nine Provinces' ordinary people are under the protection of the cultivation world because ordinary people are the foundation of the cultivation world. But the ordinary people in the Blood Refinent World being raised like pigs and dogs by the Blood Race is intolerable!
Suddenly, slogans about exterminating the Blood Race and rescuing fellow human races were shouted out.
The direction of public opinion in the entire cultivation world was overwhelmingly positive.
The rest is waiting. No one knows when the collision between the two domains will occur, when the war will arrive, but it undoubtedly will one day.
More than a month after the celebration banquet, on a certain day, Lu Ye was crafting the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc when he suddenly felt sothing.
What should co, finally ca.
Not sudden, he had already sensed it before; this timing was sowhat within his expectation.
He handled the array disc he hadn't finished crafting, and Lu Ye reached out towards his doppelganger, who disappeared in an instant.
"Lu Ye, are you leaving?" Yiyi, who had been cultivating beside him, suddenly opened her eyes.
Lu Ye nodded: "Ultimately, I have to go ahead first."
To embark on the expedition to the Blood Refinent World, he needed to make so preparations in advance. It was impossible to move with the Nine Provinces cultivation world's army. The more thoroughly he prepared, the smoother the Nine Provinces cultivation world's expedition would be.
He had already ntioned this to Yiyi earlier and did not plan to take her along. The Blood Refinent World was not the Nine Provinces. If he brought her, he would inevitably have to bring Amber too, which would make many actions inconvenient at tis.
For this reason, he exchanged many gold-hued spirit fortune sticks from the Hall of Battle rits to leave for Yiyi, for her and Amber to use in cultivation.
"You must be careful," Yiyi admonished.
Lu Ye nodded, exited the door, and flew toward the Righteous Peak's direction, where he t with Second Senior Sister Shui Yuan to hand over the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc he had been refining recently.
Shui Yuan had evidently sensed sothing, yet silently handed over so healing pills she had refined. There was no need for excessive advice; now Lu Ye's cultivation was already close to surpassing hers, and in terms of strength, he was undoubtedly stronger than her. Shui Yuan was well aware of this.
Lu Ye received them and carefully put them away before heading to the Heaven's Augury Hall.
He raised his hand and pressed it on the Heaven's Augury Pillar, making the void in front of him twist. Suddenly, so small items appeared.
Surprisingly, there were over a hundred Heaven's Augury Pillars.
Back when he was sent to the fragnted Unparalleled Continent, soone from the Heaven's Augury rcantile Union waited for him at the assembly point, handing him four Heaven's Augury Pillars. It was by leveraging those four Heaven's Augury Pillars that Number Nine completely opened the link with the Unparalleled Continent, transporting a large number of Cloud River Realm cultivators over.
The Unparalleled Continent was a piece of a world fragnt, requiring only four Heaven's Augury Pillars. However, the Blood Refinent World was a domain, necessitating a considerably larger number of Heaven's Augury Pillars.
Even over a hundred might not be enough.
The task was clear: Lu Ye needed to proceed to the Blood Refinent World and deploy these over a hundred Heaven's Augury Pillars throughout its various areas!
Once the ti was right, the Nine Provinces cultivator army could use the transmission of the Heaven's Augury Pillars to directly descend upon various locations in the Blood Refinent World, executing a surprise attack like divine weapons and fairies scattering like flowers!
As Lu Ye ntioned to those senior cultivators before, the current situation between the two domains was that the enemy is out in the open while we are hidden, so there is significant leverage in this expedition.
After all, the Blood Refinent World would never anticipate cultivators from another domain arriving suddenly, ensuring we catch them off guard.
Under Shui Yuan's watchful gaze, the void around Lu Ye began to distort, akin to rippling water waves, and then Lu Ye vanished suddenly.
Lu Ye's mind lifted infinitely once again; the feeling of long-distance teleportation made him montarily dizzy.
No matter how many tis he experienced this sensation, it was always difficult to get used to.
However, compared to before, he felt much better now.
This was not only due to his substantial cultivation improvent but also possibly because of the massive enhancent of his physique. After refining the imnse vitality of the Insect Matriarch, Lu Ye couldn't even grasp how strong his physique had beco. The empowernt of his physique and the increase in his strength naturally mitigated the discomfort brought by teleportation.
Of course, there was undoubtedly also the reason that the two domains had drawn closer.
Counting the ti, it's been about four years since Lu Ye was last sent to the Blood Refinent World, so surely the distance between the Blood Refinent World and the Nine Provinces has shortened significantly.
His mind stabilized abruptly, and the next mont, a vast domain ca into view.
Lu Ye's brow twitched—here we go again?
Last ti, he similarly overlooked the entire Blood Refinent World; upon entering, all his cultivation was sealed, and it took great effort to recover his original power.
However, that previous experience was because Number Nine had to obscure his existence to avoid detection by the Blood Refinent World's Heaven and Earth's Will.
Now, his existence had long been exposed. It shouldn't happen again…
Thinking this, Lu Ye suddenly noticed sothing peculiar about the Blood Refinent World's shape.
Although it wasn't his first ti viewing it like this, during the last experience, he felt so bewildered he couldn't comprehend the situation or think much about it.
Taking another look this ti, he spotted so things he hadn't noticed before.
The entire Blood Refinent World's shape appeared like a gourd, narrow at the top and wide at the bottom.
Yet, upon a closer inspection, it seed like a torso.
A woman's torso, and one that had been decapitated and had its limbs severed.
The reason for such a notion arose mainly because Lu Ye had once traversed a large portion of the Blood Refinent World.
The Blood Refinent World had twin Sky Supporting and Jade Pillars, the two highest peaks within the domain. Strangely, the heights of these peaks were precisely equal, aligned with positions on the torso's left and right sides, vividly picturesque...
